SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
This week the City held multiple events for National Police Week. Yesterday
the Bakersfield Police Department honored police officers who have died in
the line of duty during a special memorial ceremony. This ceremony was held
in front of the Police Department Memorial off Truxtun Avenue. In addition,
other events included, but were not limited to, wrapping trees with blue lights
and ribbon bands along Chester Avenue and at the Centennial Plaza, and
providing awards to downtown businesses who decorated their windows in
blue. Thank you to all those who participated in these events.
The new fountain at the Centennial Plaza is complete! The City has
performed a number of improvements at the Plaza to make the area safer
and more attractive. These improvements include: increasing seating;
planting drought tolerant trees; enhancing lighting; pouring stamped
concrete; and replacing the engraved and damaged bricks, tiles, and

granite slabs. City staff has notified all residents who previously inquired about
their damaged bricks. A special thanks to Gilbert Vega for the picture below.
Last evening Lynyrd Skynyrd performed at the Bright House Networks
Amphitheatre. AEG estimates approximately 2,500 in attendance, but are still
confirming the number. As you recall, the City recently invested in multiple
improvements throughout the amphitheater including, but not limited to, the
addition of 170 premium seats and vendor amenities. Initial feedback from
both attendees and vendors is the improvements are a success. Get your

Traffic and other Road Advisories
Upcoming Paving Work on State Route 178
Nighttime Closures Planned at Canteria Drive Intersection on May 23rd
Paving operations for the State Route 178 Widening Project will be underway
next week, beginning Friday, May 20, 2016. The contractor plans to pave on
the north side of the highway, between Canteria Drive and Valley Street,
during daytime hours on Friday, May 20th. This work will be performed behind

temporary concrete barrier rail, but flaggers may need to stop traffic
intermittently to allow trucks to enter and exit the work area.
The contractor plans to re-pave the State Route 178/Canteria Drive
intersection on Monday night, May 23rd, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and
6:00 a.m. This operation includes grinding the old pavement and placing
new asphalt throughout the intersection. The work will require reducing lanes
and stopping traffic at the intersection in each direction. Flagging personnel
will be using reversing traffic control to move traffic through the intersection
during the operations. Motorists should anticipate having to wait up to 10
minutes and are advised to take alternate routes or adjust their schedules to
allow for delays. The intersection work may continue on Tuesday night, May
24th, if necessary.
Once the State Route 178/Canteria Drive intersection has been completed,
crews will resume paving on the north side of the highway, between Canteria
Drive and Valley Street. This work is expected to continue through Friday, May
27th, during daytime hours.
Night Work Scheduled for Utility Potholing
The Centennial Corridor design consultant plans to pothole for utilities at
various locations near State Route 99 next week, May 23rd through 26th. This
work was postponed from an earlier date. The operations will verify the
location of existing utilities along the corridor. Potholing operations entail
making a small hole and vacuuming out dirt to allow buried lines to be
identified, then replacing the dirt and restoring the ground surface.
The locations are within Caltrans right-of-way and will be potholed during
nighttime hours between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Lane or shoulder closures
will be in place as necessary while work is underway.
Crews will be performing operations in the following locations:
o South Real Road near the entrance to eastbound State Route 58;
o West side of the State Route 99 and Ming Avenue Interchange;
o Along Wible Road, south of Ming Avenue; and
o Belle Terrace Bridge over State Route 99. Council Budget Referrals

MEMORANDUM
May 20, 2016
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Chris Huot, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Proposed FY 2016-17 Budget Questions from the City Council on
May 4, 2016
______________________________________________________________________________ Question/Request Councilmember
No. 1 Councilmember Maxwell submitted
additional questions regarding the content
included within the Budget Overview
presentation
Maxwell
During the FY 2016-17 Proposed Budget Overview presentation on May 4, 2016,
Councilmember Maxwell indicated he would submit additional questions
regarding the FY 2016-17 Proposed Budget at a later time. Councilmember
Maxwell submitted the questions via e-mail on May 8th. The following is the
response to each question.
1. "Positive News"
The slide states that the change from current year April 2016 compared to
current year April 2015 in single family home permits was 430, down from 520.
Is that for the Fiscal years?
No. The figures presented were calendar year-to-date (thru April) comparisons
for 2015 and 2016, respectively.
CH
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 2
This represents a 17.0% decrease in housing permits. How is this "Positive News"?
As mentioned verbally during the presentation on May 4th, although the year-to-
date figures show a decline, Building staff believes this is due to changes in the
building code, which resulted in a less than typical number of permits being
issued in January and February 2016. Staff believes the variance in those months
is not reflective of the overall development activity given the rebound in
permitting that has occurred since February 2016.
Please breakdown the projected revenue from Transportation Impact fees for
2015-2016 and compare those with the current actual numbers and next year's
budget.
The following is a summary of revised, FY 2015-16 actuals to date and FY 2016-17
proposed revenues for Transportation Impact Fees:
FY 2015-16 Revised Estimates FY 2015-16 Year to Date Actuals* FY 2016-17 Proposed
$14,500,973 13,089,595.97 13,500,000
*as of 5/11/16
I would also like to know what is the amount of building activity it takes to
generate the Transportation Impact fees that are projected for 2016-2017.
The FY 2016-17 projected Traffic Impact Fee revenue represents an
approximately 7 percent reduction compared to the current year revised
estimates. This equates to a $1 million reduction. Fluctuations in TIF revenue can
be attributed to a combination of both general development activity and the
type of projects permitted in a given fiscal year that is subject to the fee.
Historically, the single family residential permit represents the most frequently
issued permit, as well as the category with the largest annual valuation.
Assuming all other categories remaining stable, a reduction of $1 million in TIF
fees is equivalent to a reduction of between 75 and 80 single family home
building permits being issued in a given year.
2. "Summary of Staffing Changes"
Slide #1; Are the Two Civilian Positions part of the recommendations from the
IACP Study?
No, these positions are not positions that were added by the City Council as part
of the IACP study recommendations.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 3
Slide #2; A comparison of the Bar Graph of Staffing levels and the Sales Tax
Revenues later in the presentation shows that the Sales Tax revenues rebounded
to levels higher than the 2006-2007 levels, but the staffing levels never come
close to equaling the 2008-2009 (I presume the highest recent staffing levels) in
2015-2016. Why? I would also want to know what will stop this trend of higher
expenses and revenues that are not keeping staffing levels where they need to
be? Long range, how are we going to solve this problem?
Although certain revenues have recovered to near or above “pre-recession”
levels, costs for personnel and operations have increased over the same period
of time.
Comparing FY 2010-11(the depth of the recession) with FY 2014-15 (the most
recent completed fiscal year), General Fund operating expenditures have
increased by 28.6 percent or $42.1 million. Of this amount, $35.1 is related to
increases to salary and benefit associated items. The City has seen increases in
employer-paid CalPERS rates and healthcare rates, as well as provided multiple
cost of living adjustments to employees during this period. During this same
period, other operating costs such as electricity has increased 55 percent or
about $5.9 million. These general cost increases coupled with the recent
stagnating local economy impact the City’s ability to fund new full time
positions.
Despite these challenges, the City has increased its complement by 93 positions
since FY 2010-11. These additions include increase the sworn complement to 404
authorized positions, the largest in police department history. The increases to
police staffing includes 14 positions directly associated with the
recommendations made by International Association of Chiefs of Police, as well
as critically needed positions in most other departments.
Staff continues to evaluate every opportunity to reduce expenses. Some
examples include:
Implementing the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act
(PEPRA) that took effect in January 2013. PEPRA changes the way CalPERS
retirement and health benefits are applied, and places compensation
limits on new members.
Negotiated various percentages of pension “pick-ups” with all labor
groups and management and supervisory staff.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 4
Restructured healthcare plans which included terminating coverage with
Anthem Blue Cross and approving a new contract with Blue Shield for
new PPO and HMO plans. This reduced the overall increases to the City
and employee while maintaining similar levels of benefits.
Require LED streetlights for all new development, which results in an
approximately 50 percent savings per month vs. high pressure sodium
streetlights
Retrofitted multiple City facilities with LED lighting, including Rabobank
Arena, Theater and Convention Center, all downtown street lights, and
various City fire stations; Current budgeted projects include lighting
retrofits for the Police Department Headquarters and the Park at River
Walk.
Currently evaluating opportunities to retrofit existing high pressure sodium
street lights with LED fixtures
Instituted employee safety classes and seminars to reduce workers
compensation claims
Enhancing employee wellness programs to reduce healthcare costs and
work hours lost to injury and/or sickness
Continue to maximize vehicle and equipment usage beyond
recommended replacement cycle
3. "Proposed Change in Utility Rates"
Besides a public hearing on rate changes, is there any other requirement for the
City to change what we charge our customers?
Domestic Water, sewer and garbage services provided by the City operate as
standalone, business-like activities. The operations, maintenance, capital
projects and debt service (if applicable) of each service is accounted for
separately from all other City operations. Staff continuously evaluates the cost to
provide each service, which in turn determines whether an annual rate increase
is necessary to cover all anticipated costs to provide each service. Over the
past five years, staff has only proposed two rate increases for sewer and
garbage services. The domestic water system has not had a rate increase since
2010.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 5
The process to increase domestic water, garbage and sewer rates is regulated
by the State of California. In 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218,
which requires the City provide notice of the proposed rate increase to all
affected users and hold a public hearing to receive testimony regarding the
proposed rate changes. As required under Proposition 218, users can only be
assessed an amount equal to the approximate proportionate share of the cost
to provide the respective service.
4. "Capital Improvement Program"
Slide #1; Please explain the $7.2 million for the last phase of the Centennial
Corridor ROW acquisition. Will we be done with all acquisitions and legal
expenses?
Initial funding for right-of-way acquisition for the Centennial Corridor was
previously programmed in FY 2013-14 in the amount of $165,000,000. Since that
time, an additional $20 million was identified as needed to complete the right-
of-way acquisition process for the project. Of the $20 million, this project
represents the final amount needing to be budgeted for Centennial Corridor
right-of-way. Staff is proposing to allocate $7,245,965 of additional local funding
in FY 2016-17 for the continuation of the Centennial Corridor right-of-way phase.
Funds for this allocation come from multiple local sources, included utility
surcharge, traffic development fee, County contribution and proceeds from the
sale of surplus property that was formerly acquired for the construction of the
Westside Parkway.
Of course while budgeting will be complete, work will continue over the next
few years and expense authorizations will be in the Council Agenda.
Is any of the $19.1 million for "debt service/future construction costs of
Centennial Corridor" Gas Tax Money or Utility Surcharge income?
The following table provides the funding breakdown of the $19.1 million:
Fund Amount
Gas Tax $ 6,404,953
Transportation Development Fund 7,000,000
Utility Surcharge 424,082
County TRIP Contribution 5,329,953
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 6
What is meant by "Debt Service" and why are we committing needed funds for
the current year for future construction costs?
Pursuant to the TIFIA loan process, the City is required to program funding for a
Debt Service Reserve (DSR), which is estimated to be $10 million (plus $900,000
for costs of issuance). As part of the future borrowing action, the City will be
required to deposit these funds into a repository fund to be applied to pay the
future debt service if at any time the pledged revenues are insufficient to satisfy
the debt service requirements. This reserve is a standard component of the
financing process and has been built into the overall estimated costs of the
borrowing action.
Regarding budgeting funds in FY 2016-17 for future construction costs of the
Centennial Corridor – as outlined in the TRIP Financing Plan Update presented to
the City Council in September 2015, staff identified annual cash flow needs in
FY’s 2016-17 and 2017-18 to reduce the ultimate borrowing amount for the
Centennial Corridor project (see attachment). The proposed appropriation is
the formal action associated with this cash flow need.
How much money in the past has been committed for "Future Construction
Costs"?
No prior year funds have been specifically budgeted for future construction
costs for the Centennial Corridor.
Slide #3 In the past I have questioned the balance and use of the Park
Improvement Fund. I was lead to believe it was "out of money". Please reflect
on where the conversation about this fund balance was left and how it is
consistent with the $2.1 Million in this coming year’s budget.
Pursuant to the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the Park Improvement Fund (PIF)
accounts for certain fees paid by developers during the construction of new
residential developments for the specific purpose of augmenting City parks
offerings to residents. The fees are utilized to acquire park land, construct new
parks and enhance existing park sites.
Fees deposited into the PIF are generated from two sources:
Park Development and Improvement Fee: Fee is generally paid at the
time a building permit is issued for a new residential unit. Commercial and
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 7
industrial developers are exempt from paying the fee. This fee was
established in 1990.
Acquisition (or In-Lieu) Fee: This fee is paid when, for a range of reasons,
property for a future park site is not dedicated within a proposed
residential development. In these cases, a fee is paid by the developer at
the time a tentative tract map is approved. Fee amount varies based on
number of dwelling units and land value, among other factors. The fee
was first established in 1995.
Park Zones
The City is divided into three park “zones” for the purposes of accounting for
where fees that are paid into the PIF can be expended. Fees collected from a
development 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.
Previous referral responses regarding the Park Improvement Fund focused on
projects that approved by the City Council in previous fiscal years, as well as
projects funded in the current fiscal year (FY 2015-16) when compared to the
fund balance figure that was included in an annual compliance report that was
approved the City Council. That response reconciled the total balance of
monies within the Park Improvement Fund compared with previously approved
appropriations for various park projects.
The fund is not “out of money”. For each residential building permit issued, a
park improvement fee of $1,825 is paid, in addition to any Park in Lieu fees that
may be required. As discussed earlier in this memo, the City is anticipated to
experience relatively stable residential permitting levels in 2016. The following is a
breakdown of FY 2016-17 Park Improvement Fund revenue projections by Park
Zone: FY 2016-17 Projected Revenues Zone By Zone
Park Acquisition Fees
Southwest 1 75,000.00
Central 2 5,000.00
Northeast 3 5,000.00
Subtotal 85,000.00
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 8
Park Development Fees
Southwest 1 1,200,000.00
Central 2 100,000.00
Northeast 3 200,000.00
Subtotal 1,500,000.00
TOTALS 1,585,000.00
In addition to new Park Improvement Fee revenues, staff projects a year-end,
unappropriated, aggregated fund balance of $1.19 million across all Park Zones.
As discussed in the previous memos on this topic, this balance is based on
revised revenue estimates for the current fiscal year that is anticipated to
exceed the current year original estimates. The combination of this balance and
projected revenue for next fiscal year is the total amount of available funds that
can be utilized for new projects.
As outlined in the budget presentation, staff is proposing a total of $2.1 million in
new appropriations for eligible park projects in FY 2016-17. In addition, staff is
proposing a $400,000 appropriation in preparation for reimbursement to a
developer to construct a park in Zone 1 per a previous park development
agreement with S&S Homes. Assuming revenues meet projections, staff
estimates a July 1, 2017 year-end balance of $315,000± with the Park
Improvement Fund for all Park Zones combined.
5. "Local Street Projects"
Is any of the $22.9 million funded through Gas Taxes? PLEASE, yes or no.
No.
If yes, how much?
N/A
Is the Transportation Development fund expenditure of $2.6 million covering all
of the improvement project?
The FY 2016-17 proposed CIP budget includes $2,602,000 of Transportation
Development funds (TDF) for various non-TRIP CIP projects. The following is a
summary of those proposed projects and phases of the projects proposed to be
funded with TDF in FY 2016-17.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 9
Hageman Road Widening – This $305,000 project will construct an additional
eastbound travel lane and shoulder on Hageman Road from Jewetta Avenue
to 1400 feet east of Jewetta Avenue to alleviate traffic congestion along this
road segment.
Street Improvement on Hosking Avenue from Monitor Street to Union Avenue –
This $524,000 project will construct an additional travel lane in both the
eastbound and westbound direction. Right-of-way and design costs were
previously budgeted in FY 2014-15. Construction funding is requested for FY 2016-
17.
Street Improvement on College Avenue at Fairfax Road – This $95,000 project will
fund design and right-of-way costs for the widening of this interchange. This
project will alleviate flooding and erosion of soil occurring during rain events
along the north side of College Avenue, adjacent to East Niles Water District. This
eroded soil and mud flows to and floods the Fairfax intersection, thereby
causing traffic disruption. This project will also facilitate a safe walking-path for
pedestrians. Construction funding will be proposed in a subsequent year,
dependent upon available funding.
Street Improvement on Ming Avenue at Baldwin Road – This $334,000 project will
widen the north side of Ming Avenue to full arterial width for approximately 315
feet east of Baldwin Road. The project will improve traffic flow along Ming
Avenue and eliminate a bottleneck at the intersection of Ming Avenue and
Baldwin Road. This is a collaborative project with the County Public Works
Department currently facilitating the right-of-way acquisition. The proposed
allocation for this project reflects the estimated costs for construction of the
improvements only.
Street Improvement Panama Lane at San Joaquin Valley Rail Road – This
$250,000 project will fund design and right-of-way acquisition to construct full
width improvements for the at-grade railroad crossing. Dependent upon
available funding, budgeting for the construction phase will be proposed in FY
2017-18.
Street Improvements on West Side of Wible Road - This $1,094,000 project will
widen Wible Road between Hosking Avenue and Berkshire Road to full arterial
width. Adjacent developers have widened the roadway along their frontages
with the exception of two 325-foot long segments adjacent to three existing
residences. This widening will close these “gaps” in roadway improvements
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 10
which will relieve traffic congestion, which has intensified due to the recent
opening of the Hosking Avenue interchange at State Route 99.
Can the TOT monies collected be put into the General Fund? PLEASE, yes or no.
Yes. As discussed in previous referral responses, Transient Occupancy Tax can be
utilized for General Fund operating expenditures. However, the City has
historically utilized this revenue source for local road maintenance and other
capital projects such as Fire Station rehabilitations and improvements at the
Arena, Convention Center and Amphitheatre. Utilizing this revenue source for
General Fund operations is not recommended and would result in a backlog of
deferred capital projects. The proposed budget for 2016-2017 puts most of the
money into street repair materials.
6. "Budget Comparison- All Funds"
Please account for the reduction in Capital Improvements as it has been
affected by TRIP for the 2015-2016 Adopted Budget and the 2016-2017 Proposed.
As discussed during the presentation, the capital improvement program budget
can fluctuate from year to year due to multiple reasons – common examples
include:
Each project within the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP)
requires multiple phases to bring the project to completion. The program
also requires the budgeting of multiple federal, state and local monies to
coincide with the progression of each project. With the exception of two
projects, all of the TRIP projects are either under construction or
completed. As projects move into the different stages, the amount and
timing of funds budgeted will fluctuate in a given fiscal year. In FY 2015-16,
the Adopted CIP Budget of $152.7 million included $123.3 million in
funding for various TRIP projects. In contrast, the FY 2016-17 CIP budget
includes $28.4 million for TRIP projects. Because of timing and the status of
the various TRIP projects, no federal earmark funds are budgeted for FY
2016-17, whereas $72.5 million in federal earmark funds were budgeted in
the current fiscal year. When comparing the two fiscal years, the non-TRIP
capital improvement portion of the CIP budget totaled $29.3 million in FY
2015-16, compared to $25.6 million in FY 2016-17.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Maxwell Questions from May 4th May 20, 2016
Page 11
Revenue projections for a given capital improvement funding source may
change based on current economic conditions and/or state or federal
legislation. As a result, available funding in a given year for projects may
increase or decrease. For example, in FY 2016-17, staff is projecting -5%
trending in Transient Occupancy Tax due to the reduced oil-travel to the
City. As a result, the FY 2016-17 Capital Outlay Fund contains a less than
normal number of projects and a lower funding amount when compared
to previous years.
I would also like to see the current year actual if possible. I will note that the
Capital Improvement Program on an earlier slide the proposed budget is $54.07
million which is the same as is on this slide and it appears that this number
represents Local Funds only.
The Capital Improvement Program from FY 2016-17 total $54.07 million. This is the
entirety of the proposed capital appropriations for the upcoming fiscal year. This
figure represents new appropriations of funds for next fiscal year. This figure does
not include any funds budgeted in prior years and carried over to FY 2016-17.
A summary of budgeted capital projects by fund is attached. This list includes
previously approved projects that have been carried forward from prior fiscal
years through the current fiscal year.
The list includes:
