But the economy has and the city is hindered by a uariety of weaknesses. September o9, 2oi2 � By Ricardo Lopez BAKERSFIELD — This mid-size city has become the surprise star of the Central Valley. The state's economic recovery has largely been concentrated on the coast, leaving behind much of the hard-hit San Jo Bakersfield, perhaps best known for oil, agriculture and country music, has reclaimed an old title: boomtown. Bakersfield has been adding population and jobs at a brisk pace and is a few thousand jobs from matching its peak en five years ago. A price-fueled energy bonanza, low corporate operating costs and an advantageous location are contrik good fortune. Employment has grown across many sectors, including manufacturing. Even construction, which suffered mightily st housing bust, has strengthened. And unlike many struggling municipalities, in Kern County ofiicials have recommenc that would allow hiring of more than i5o people. Signs of growth are obvious. San Joaquin Community Hospital, in downtown Bakersfield, is building a four-story cancer treatment center. Just so equipment giant Caterpillar Inc. is finishing a distribution center. Roads and highways are getting face-lifts. And seve moved operations to the area. These and other projects have given Bakersfield something to boast about. It leads the country in year-over-year cons growth, with payrolls swelling by almost 23% since July 2oi1. By comparison, state construction employment grew b` For employers like Griffith Co., a general contractor, construction volume is up 20 % from the year before for its Bake: expects to do more hiring when more projects get off the ground. "It's very exciting," said Luke Walker, Griffith's assistant regional manager. "We're getting close to where we were rig] recession happened." According to state employment data, Kern County is just 5,60o jobs from matching its peak employment of 239,600 � 200�, when developers were tossing up houses and condos at an unsustainable pace. And the big gainer is Bakersfiel� its largest city by far. The area, which has large petroleum deposits, is benefiting from a surge in energy prices. That has led to more drillin; gas and boosted other energy projects, which means more hiring. "We have work in the oil fields," said Danny Kane, business manager for the International Brotherhood of Electrical � based in downtown Bakersfield. "We have a lot of solar work. We have wind. We are just fortunate to have those oppc County." Despite the gains in some sectors, the economy in the area hasn't fully recovered. The unemployment rate remains high, at 13.6% in July, but it has dropped 4.2 percentage points since its peak of 1�.� And there are still about 52,00o unemployed people in Kern County, according to data from the state's Employment ] Department. Economists, however, note that even during good times, Kern County has had an elevated unemployment rate compa whole because of the seasonal hiring pattern of its large agriculture industry. During Bakersfield's employment peak f Many signs point to a Bakersfield boom - Los Angeles Times http: //articles.latimes. com/print/2012/sep/1 The area's population growth is the main reason San Joaquin Community Hospital is building a 60,000-square-foot c Jarrod McNaughton, vice president of marketing and business development. The region has lacked a major hospital-1 and many residents travel to Los Angeles for treatment. The project, which has created almost ioo construction jobs, is expected to be completed this year. The hospital, with employees, has plans for about 8o new positions in the treatment center, McNaughton said. "We're hiring well-paying jobs into an economy that has been pretty sluggish," he said. "We're tying to do our part to . help the economy here." The hospital has bought nearby property and will demolish buildings to make way for future growth, McNaughton sa; In addition to companies expanding, county planners have aggressively courted others who looked to cut costs durin€ said. In the last year, several companies have decided to move operations to Bakersfield, attracted by cheaper office space � approval of business licenses. The city's location is also a selling point; it's just two hours north of the ports of Los An; attractive to companies with West Coast operations. Caterpillar last year bought 46 acres and has nearly completed a 400,000-square-foot distribution center at the Tejor Center near the junction of Interstate 5 and state Highway 99. This follows the opening of a Dollar General distributic industrial center houses hubs for Target, Ikea and Famous Footwear. Tejon Ranch Co., a publicly traded company, also recently announced plans to open an outlet center in 20�4 with the the intersection of the two highways, near its commerce center. But despite these gains, county economic planners say Bakersfield is still hindered by a variety of weaknesses. Among them, they say, many outsiders view the city as little more than a dusty industrial and agriculture town near a "Bakersfield's perception is tough to overcome," Kern County's Brown said. "It's a challenge in bringing companies hE But even more problematic for growth is the poorly educated workforce. Only 9.8% of Kern County's population has � according to census data, which means high-paying jobs in engineering are difficult to fill and tend to go to workers � of state. "Sakersfield is still a Central Valley economy," said Eduardo Martinez, a Moody's Analytics economist, noting that thE industry means much of the labor force is migrant workers, low-skilled and uneducated. And the county's reliance on oil makes it vulnerable to drops in energy prices, Martinez said. "There's a high depende and mining, and that's positive during boom years, but not so much if there's a crash." To that end, employers are investing in worker training, said Richard Chapman, president of the Kern County Econor Corp. Other programs sponsored by Chapman's group, such as the Alliance of Women in Energy, pair local high scho� working professionals who mentor them for careers in science and engineering. Developing residents' skills, Chapman said, is a priority to ensure that employment growth is more widespread and ir jobs for area residents. "The only thing that can stop us," Chapman said, "is the availability of the workforce." John Spaulding, executive secretary of the Building Trades Council for Kern, Inyo and Mono Counties, said that altho increased in the last year, larger and more long-term projects needed to get off the ground to see the recovery acceler� Spaulding said he was looking forward to the start of construction on a hydrogen energy plant late next year, which is multiyear project that would employ thousands. "I think it's going to get better," he said. "There's some movement." mn�r�n �nri�onn�ni-�m�c nnm TO: FROM: SUBJECT: OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM Alan Tandy, City Manager Chris Huot Administrative Anal st III .�� , y �% � Bike and Pedestrian Enhancement Funding Septembe This memo is in follow-up to the June 5, 2012 response to Councilmember J question regarding the percentage of the annual roads budget that is attrib� bike and pedestrian improvements.
