OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
July 22, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
On August 2, the Bakersfield Police Department will hold National Night Out at the
Bakersfield College. National Night Out is a free event that encourages the
community to support local anti-crime programs. For more information, please see
the attached flyer.
There will be an item on next week’s Board of Supervisors agenda to consider
placing a sales tax measure on November 2016 ballot. The joint request from the
Sheriff and County Fire Chief is for a one cent sales tax to be levied on
transactions within the unincorporated areas of the County to mitigate for the
budget cuts the County is considering. The report indicates that the funds would
be used for public safety purposes in the unincorporated areas of the County and
would be distributed among the Sheriff’s Office, Kern County Fire Department,
Probation Department, District Attorney’s Office and Public Defender’s Office. At
this point, purchases made within the incorporated areas of the County, including
the City of Bakersfield, will not be subject to the measure, should it be placed on
the ballot and approved. As this is a dedicated sales tax, it will require 2/3rd voter
approval to pass. Our staff will continue to monitor the discussions.
The controller for Planz Spray Park has been installed and is now operational! The
hours will remain the same as other Spray Parks: 1:00 – 5:00 p.m., seven days a
week through Labor Day. The City has received many requests for this Spray Park
and is happy to see it open.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses Watchtower Conventions return to the Rabobank Arena
for the next four weekends, beginning today. This is the largest group that meets
in Bakersfield and local hotels and restaurants will be busy. This year, the group increased the number of its Bakersfield conventions from six to seven. The dates of
the remaining events are July 22 - 24, July 29-31, August 5-7, and August 12-14.

Members of the Bakersfield Police Department’s Explorer Post #521 joined more
than 3,000 other Law Enforcement Explorers from across the United States at the
2016 National Law Enforcement Exploring Conference held in Flagstaff, AZ. Twelve
BPD Explorers competed in 6 team scenarios, including White Collar Crime, Bomb
Threat, Crime Scene Search, Traffic Accident Investigation, Arrest and Search, and
Crime Prevention. Each team competed against nearly 100 other teams from
across the United States for each scenario. A team from the BPD Explorer Post
#521 was awarded 5th place for Crime Prevention. We congratulate the Explorer
Post and thank the Post Officer Advisors for their work and dedication.
As many are aware, a collaborative was formed with VOICED, GET Bus and the
City of Bakersfield to improve access ramps at bus stops throughout the City.
VOICED assists in the identification of locations, GET Bus provides funding and the
City uses its staff members and other resources to install the access ramps. This has
been a great community partnership that the City has been happy to be a part
of.
Last Friday, the Independent Living Center of Kern County held an open house to
educate people on the Americans with Disabilities Act. Staff was at the event to
obtain citizen feedback as we further identify bus stops and other areas
throughout the City that are in need of access ramps.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: GREG WILLIAMSON, CHIEF OF POLICE
By: Assistant Chief Lyle Martin
DATE: July19, 2016
SUBJECT: Meet with the Best Western Hill House
Council Referral No. 717
Councilmember Maxwell requested that Police Department staff and him meet with the Best
Western Plus Hill House to discuss criminal activities in the area.
Council Member Maxwell’s request was assigned to the Operations Division for follow-up.
The Best Western Hill House located at 700 Truxtun Avenue is a multi-unit hotel comprised of three
separate buildings with three individual parking lots. The issues at the Hill House were first addressed
last year in 2015. Staff has met with the general manager multiple times regarding vehicle burglaries
and vandalism in the west parking lot during night time hours; the majority of the issues are occurring
in that location. On June 10th, staff met again with Mr. Zala and provided suggestions to improve the
property such as fencing, repair of the existing video surveillance system and sensor lighting. Officers
have been conducting and documenting routine patrol efforts. The manager, Mr. Zala, was also
provided with the assigned area officer’s cell number for direct contact. In addition, staff assisted Mr.
Zala in obtaining property information from the County Recorder’s office and advised him to follow-up
with the City Building Department to address some of the suggested improvements.
Staff met with Mr. Zala and Council Member Maxwell on July 12th to discuss suggestions regarding
the property and develop a potential plan to improve the area. A follow-up meeting has been
scheduled for the month of August and officers will continue extra patrol in the area.
