PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR THE
CONSOLIDATED MAINTENANCE DISTRICT
City of Bakersfield
Fiscal Year 2016 -2017
The City of Bakersfield Consolidated Maintenance District consists of all existing territories,
separately and specifically described, in part, in the County of Kern Assessors Tax Number of each
territory for the various areas of benefit within the Consolidated Maintenance District within the City
of Bakersfield, County of Kern, State of California. The amount of assessment to be levied against
each parcel within the Consolidated Maintenance District is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
The 2016 -2017 Budget for the Consolidated Maintenance District, Exhibit "B" is attached hereto and
incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of
Bakersfield, the Public Works Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and
upon all parcels of property within the areas of the district for the cost of maintaining and operating
public parks, public street medians and other public street landscaping improvements. The
improvements for the Consolidated Maintenance District Street Landscaping Zone of Benefit
generally include, but are not limited to: Public Street Landscaping Improvements consisting of: turf,
plant forms, shrubs, ground cover, trees, lighting, irrigation systems, conduits, water mains; and
Public Street Median Improvements consisting of: turf, plant forms, shrubs, ground cover, trees,
irrigation systems, conduits and water mains. The improvements for the Consolidated Maintenance
District Park Zone of Benefit generally include, but are not limited to: turf, plant forms, shrubs, ground
cover, trees, irrigation systems, conduits, water mains, playground equipment, picnic tables, drinking
fountains, barbecue pits, security lighting and restrooms.
The improvements in this Consolidated Maintenance District are of a public nature. The
assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacements, water, equipment, electricity,
care, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation
thereof.
For many years, parks, street medians and other street landscaping improvements in the City
were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, funds
available for maintenance and operation of local public improvements were substantially reduced.
At present the City's budget does not allow for the cost of all maintenance and operation of local
public improvements of the types described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and
operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new parks,
public street median or other public street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the
City. The funds generated as the result of this district are utilized strictly for the purpose of and
applied to the maintenance and upkeep of public parks, public street median and other public
street landscaping within the district. The Consolidated Maintenance District has been specifically
designated to address park maintenance and operation, and maintenance of public street
median and other public street landscaping improvements and all parcels within the district are
affected.
The areas within the boundary of the Consolidated Maintenance District receive benefits from
the improvements and maintenance thereof. These benefits include street beautification, open
space enjoyment, recreation and noise reduction due to the installation of street landscaping,
walls, and parks. gAKF9

The benefits from the installation of street landscaping accrue to all the lot or parcel owners
within the Consolidated Maintenance District Street Landscaping Zone of Benefit. The benefits of
the street landscaping inure to all lots or parcels uniformly, and are based on an Equivalent Dwelling
Unit basis, in accordance with Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
Park use is a benefit most likely to be enjoyed by each resident in the Park Zone of Benefit. These
benefits are, therefore, uniformly assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis, in accordance with
Exhibit "A" attached hereto. No assessment for park benefits is made on non - residential lots.
Historically, the City has identified the costs of street and median landscaping and park
maintenance amenities that are not within the boundaries of the Consolidated Maintenance
District and are therefore paid for out of the General Fund. The City then provided a subsidy to
parcels within the Consolidated Maintenance District up to the amount of those costs (i.e., as of
1996, a 66% subsidy for park maintenance costs and 7.3% for street and median landscape
maintenance costs). After the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, the City has not raised
assessment rates within the Consolidated Maintenance District even though maintenance costs
have risen. Consequently, the subsidies to parcels within the Consolidated Maintenance District
have continued to rise since 1996.
On January 12, 2005, the City Council passed Resolution No. 019 -05 adopting Council Policy on
Park Maintenance and Street landscaping Assessments which enables the City to collect
additional revenue for the maintenance of street and median landscaping and park maintenance
within the Consolidated Maintenance District.
As of January 12, 2005, all new territories added to the Consolidated Maintenance District that
benefit from public parks and /or street landscaping shall be assessed, consistent with the
requirements of Proposition 218, those amounts set forth in Resolution No. 019 -05. Said amounts shall
be increased annually by the cost of living increase reflected in the Los Angeles - Riverside -
Orange County /All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, NICK FIDLER, Public Works Director of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the
power vested in me and per direction of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Benefit Formula
and Budget for the Consolidated Maintenance District for FY 2016 -2017, attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
& "B" respectively. The Assessment Roll for the Consolidated Maintenance District for all parcels of
property within the various areas of benefit of the Consolidated Maintenance District, subject to be
assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation of the above described improvements in said
territory, is on file in the City Clerk's Office.
