Subject: General Information
City offices will be closed Monday, January 18th, in observance of
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Trash and recycling services in Bakersfield will not be delayed due to holiday.
Good News:
Good News! The California Department of Water Resources will present the
City of Bakersfield a Water-Energy grant in the amount of $681,739 to support
the City’s Smart Irrigation Controller Project.
The grant money will fund the installation of Maxi-com systems for 22 of our City
parks allowing us to conserve more water while efficiently maintaining the grass
and trees. The City received a grant last year for the installation of the Maxi-
com system for 18 other parks. The combined grants will provide for Maxi-com
systems to be installed in all city parks; estimated water savings of 100 million
gallons of water per year. A special thanks to staff from Recreation and Parks
and Water Resources for their hard work in applying for and implementing
these grants. For more information, please see the attached flyer.
There was a very positive article about the City of Bakersfield in the Edmonton
Sun newspaper last week. The article, written in Edmonton, Canada, described
how the City of Bakersfield is an attractive place to live for the Edmonton Oilers
farm team, the Bakersfield Condors. The players and management have very
nice things to say about our City.

March 2016. City crews have completed asphalt and concrete work in preparation of a
contract being awarded to complete the remainder of the work.
McMurtrey Slide Rehab Project: Parks staff is finalizing an agreement with a vendor for
this project. Staff anticipates this item to be placed on the February 10th City Council
agenda for consideration.
Coral Keys Playground Rehab Project: The City Council awarded a contract for this
project on November 18, 2015. This project is scheduled to begin in February and be
completed in April.
Regarding planning for the future – the City’s General Plan, Recreation and Parks
Master Plan and park development policies provide the framework for determining
where and when neighborhood park sites will develop. The City’s park development
policies and standards require neighborhood park sites to be identified and
constructed as surrounding residential development activity is simultaneously occurring.
This process provides for a “pay as you go” model, whereby as residential tracts
develop, PIF fees are being paid to the City, which in turn provide the necessary
resources to construct park sites at the time they are needed. This model strives to
ensure that supply meets demand.
The $1 million balance is additional anticipated PIF revenue beyond the $1,280,000
projected within the FY 2015-16 Adopted Budget. As staff begins the budget process for
FY 2016-17, revenue estimates will be made for the fund. Combined, the year-end balance and new revenues will be used to budget for eligible park projects in FY 2016-
17. 2. Will the $1,549,860 budgeted for Mesa Marin Phase II cover the total cost of Phase II? Please explain how the remaining $50,000 left for Zone 3 part of the PIF will cover the cost of future obligations. Please describe what the future obligations in the Northeast will be.
The $1.5 million is one of two sources of funding for this project. The other source of
funding previously appropriated for this project is capital outlay funds, in the amount of
$2.9 million. Combined, the total funding appropriated by the City Council for the
design and construction of Phase II of Mesa Marin is $4.4 million. Staff anticipates this
amount will be sufficient to fund the base improvements within Phase II.
If FY 2015-16 PIF revenue meets projections and as noted previously, any
unappropriated balance in Zone 3 will most likely be needed for future phases of the
Mesa Marin Sports Complex.
Regarding future obligations within Zone 3 - since the recession, residential
development in Zone 3 has occurred intermittently. In many cases, home builders are
“filling out” existing housing tracts which are within the service area of an existing park.
Until additional new housing tracts come online, staff projects limited new park
PIF Projects January 15, 2016
Page 3
development occurring in the northeast. The only future park development obligation
currently budgeted within the Zone is the Mesa Marin Phase II project.
Additionally, there is a future neighborhood park planned within Zone 3 known as
River’s Edge Park. Land for this park has been dedicated within Tract 6148, east of
Alfred Harrell Highway, north of State Route 178. This tract was in the planning stages
prior to the recession, but has not been active since that time period. Thus, this
neighborhood park is not anticipated to be constructed for many years, as no new
home building activity is occurring in the area. When development resumes in this area,
fees will be collected to construct the park.
3. If the Zone 2 balance at the end of the year will be $450,000 and that is in the Central Zone, could Council member Rivera or I be brought into the discussion of what projects are on the table and which ones we would like to see move forward?
The $450,000 figure is an estimated fiscal year-end fund balance for Zone 2 projecting
current year-to-date revenues. Based on development activity through the end of the
fiscal year, the actual year-end balance may be different.
Staff is always available to discuss park improvement plans with Councilmembers. The Central Zone (Zone 2) encompasses parts of all seven City Council Wards. Historically,
Councilmembers have provided the City Manager’s Office or the Recreation and Parks Director with ideas or feedback from constituents as it relates to identifying future parks
projects. Staff reviews the eligibility, feasibility and costs and reports the findings back to the Councilmember(s). Staff customarily takes into consideration feedback from the
Councilmembers, the public, community groups and Parks staff to develop a preliminary list of potential park projects for the upcoming fiscal year. After reviewing
estimated funding availability in relation to the operational priority of each project, a list of projects is provided to the City Council in May of each year as part of the proposed
budget. If there are specific projects or issues that you are interested in addressing,
please contact the City Manager’s Office or the Recreation and Parks Director so staff
can begin the evaluation process.
4. Is it standard operating procedure to spend as much as 90% of such a fund in one
year when the replacement period for those funds could take 8-10 years?
It is not customary for the City to retain multiple years of revenue within the PIF and not
budget it toward projects. The amount of revenue that is generated annually is
generally tied to the pace of residential development, which determines the demand
for parks. That is a primary reason why PIF revenues are budgeted for projects on a
fiscal year basis. The impact fee program is not intended to stockpile funds for the
future, but to spend the money collected in a timely manner to best meet the most
critical needs of each area. Accumulation of funds over several fiscal years may be
required on occasion for larger projects, but the general intent of the program is to get
improvements in place as soon as funding is available.
PIF Projects January 15, 2016
Page 4
Through the annual budget process, staff has traditionally proposed and the City
Council has appropriated the majority of the PIF revenue to eligible projects in most
fiscal years. The percentage varies depending on the fiscal year. For FY 2015-16, the
Council approved the appropriating 86.6 percent of the estimated available PIF funds
to parks projects.

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.
Balance – All Zones $8,608,675

Zone 3 (Northeast)
Mesa Marin Phase II $1,549,860
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.
