December 18, 2015
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT
Subject: General Information
City offices will be closed next Thursday and Friday,
December 24th and 25th,
in observance of the Christmas holiday.
Notable Items
A total of 29 new police officers have recently completed their field training
and have been assigned to various patrol shifts with the Bakersfield Police
Department (BPD). An additional 10 officers are scheduled to graduate from
the Police Academy in January 2016. These graduates and one lateral officer
will then complete an additional four weeks of classroom training and begin
field training shortly after. Also, the BPD is currently in the testing process to hire
police officer trainees for the Spring 2016 Police Academy.
Attached is a copy of the Sales Tax Quarterly Summary Report by Industry,
summarizing and comparing the top 10 industry categories 3rd quarter results of
2015 to the 3rd quarter results of 2014. The general categories of Wholesale
Building Materials, Used Car Dealers, and Eating/Drinking Places display above
average results, while Heavy Industrial Equipment, Building Materials, and
Service Stations categories display below average results.
As previously mentioned, if sales tax continues to trend negative, further
budgetary adjustments are necessary. City staff is in the process of evaluating
additional budget information and will be bringing forward options for Council
consideration during the mid-year budget update scheduled in January.
Building activity throughout the City has continued to increase over the past
year. Overall, year-to-date total permits (12,412) continue to outpace 2014
(9,796) by 26.7%. Total year-to-date valuations ($749 million) also outpace 2014
($591 million) by 25.3%. Attached is the summary report for the November 2015
building activity.

project located within a specific park zone must be expended within that same park
zone. Fees collected within one zone cannot be used to fund a park project within
another zone.
Development Fee vs. Acquisition Fee Utilization
The development fee is used to construct new park sites and enhance existing sites. For
example, initial phases of Mesa Marin and State Farm Sports Village were constructed,
in part, with development fee revenue generated within those specific zones. The
development fee may also be used to reimburse a developer upon build out of a
neighborhood park in which the City will retain and program. The most recent examples
of parks constructed by a developer and reimbursed through PIF development fees
include Tradewinds Park, Granite Pointe Park, Weston Park and Solera Park.
The acquisition fee revenue is used to acquire future park land. For example, City staff
may determine a proposed park site within a future development is not adequate in
size to serve the residents within the future park service area. In this case, staff would
negotiate an agreement with the property owner(s) adjacent to the proposed park site
to acquire additional property for the park site.
In both cases, revenues are appropriated by the City Council for these activities.
Budgeted PIF Projects
As indicated within the Annual Compliance Report for Park Impact Fees, the balance
of the PIF at the end of the previous fiscal year was $8,608,675. In addition to the
information contained within the report, the FY 2015-16 budget estimated PIF revenues
of $1,280,000.
As staff indicated during the Council meeting, this figure is not an unreserved or
uncommitted balance sitting idle in an account. Most of these funds were generated
over a period of fiscal years and have been previously appropriated by the City
Council for parks projects throughout the City. These projects are a combination of City-
initiated projects and funds designated for future reimbursements to developers. More
information on budgeted projects is below.

Total Appropriated - All Zones $8,822,770
Available Balance
If PIF revenues for the FY 15-16 meet projections, staff anticipates an aggregated PIF
balance throughout all zones of approximately $1 million at the end of the fiscal year.
Of the estimated $1 million balance, staff estimates 50 percent will be within Zone 1, 45
percent within Zone 2 and 5 percent within Zone 3.
Any unappropriated balance in Zones 1 and 3 will most likely be needed for upcoming
phases of the State Farm Sports Village and Mesa Marin Sports Complex. Any additional
balances will be rolled into projects within the respective park zones and included
within the FY 2016-17 Capital Improvement Program for Council consideration. As
always, staff will continue to monitor PIF revenues as the current fiscal year progresses
and recommend adjustments, as necessary.
