HomeMy WebLinkAbout08/12/2016AT OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER August 12, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items  As you are aware, the City received a State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) grant for the off-ramp improvements at Highway 99 and Rosedale Highway; that project is now under construction. It is our hope to receive a similar State grant for the on-ramp improvements at that same interchange. Please see the attached diagram – the dark grey area shows what is to be constructed. This project had been anticipated to be built with 24th Street, but it is not controversial in anyway. On Friday, August 12th, we were granted approval by the court to complete the testing and design on this segment so that it can be made grant eligible. The plaintiffs in the case did not object.  Attached you will find the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) update on the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Quarterly Report. In October 2014, the City Council approved the IACP implementation plan, which allocated $2.3 million toward funding many of the priority 1 and 2 recommendations. We are happy to announce that 28 recommendations have been completed and six recommendations are for future consideration. While the BPD will continue to examine ways to improve its operations, please note the attachment serves as the final IACP Quarterly Report.  Monday we welcomed our new Human Resources Manager, Lisa McGranahan, to the City team. Lisa is a resident of Bakersfield and comes to us from the private sector with an extensive human resources background. Over the course of the next couple of weeks, Lisa will be meeting with all City departments to familiarize herself with the wide array of City functions and services. While I plan on introducing Lisa at the beginning of our next City Council Meeting, I wanted to make the Council aware that she has Page 2 General Information August 12, 2016 commenced her duties with the City. We are happy to have her aboard and look forward to applying her skills in support of City operations.  SoCalGas has recently discovered a small percentage of its Advanced Meter communication devices have a technical defect, which causes under- reporting of natural gas usage. Based on a limited and ongoing analysis, they believe that a minimal percentage may be experiencing this malfunction and potentially under-reporting gas consumption. As a result, some of their customers may have been under-billed for their natural gas service in the past. SoCalGas plans to replace the faulty Advanced Meter communication devices as soon as possible; the process takes about 15 minutes. They sent out approximately 11,000 letters on Monday to those customers that will have their Meter Transmission Units replaced. Customer’s natural gas service will not be interrupted during the replacement, but they will need access to the meter during that time. Once the device has been replaced, SoCalGas will determine the extent of any under-billing and incorporate those charges on customer’s next bill along with a letter of explanation. Under-billing charges for residential customers will not go back more than three months. They expect any additional charges for residential customers to be small and apply to very few customers. Under-billing for business customers will go back 36 months. For additional information, please contact the SoCalGas Customer Contact Center at 1-800-427-2200. Traffic and other Road Advisories  Electrical Work Continues at State Route 178/Alfred Harrell Highway Intersection Electrical work is scheduled to continue this week at the State Route 178 and Alfred Harrell Highway/Comanche Drive intersection.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE – GREG WILLIAMSON Every police department has the responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the citizens it serves. In order to carry out this responsibility, it is essential that all citizens have a high degree of confidence in their police department. Bakersfield Police Officers are among the best trained and highly educated peace officers in the State. They take pride in their chosen profession and want you, the citizens of Bakersfield, to share this pride. However, we recognize that police officers are human and may, from time to time, act in a manner that is not in the best interest of the police department or the community. Since we would all agree that it is very difficult to deal with a problem unless we know such a problem exists, the importance of bringing any misconduct on the part ofAtheApoliceAofficersAtoAtheAdepartment’sAattentionAmustA be recognized. The Bakersfield Police Department will thoroughly and expeditiously investigate all complaints brought to our attention. The following information will explain the procedure for filingAofAaAcitizen’sAcomplaintAandAtheAinvestigativeAprocess.A Bakersfield Police Department Internal Affairs Division Year End Report 2015 COMPLAINTS How to file a complaint If you wish to file a formal complaint, it will be necessary for you to complete and sign a Citizen Complaint Form at the Bakersfield Police Department; however, those complaints made by telephone, anonymously, or by mail, will be investigated to the best of our ability. All information will be treated confidentially. Assistance is available if you need help in completing theAcomplaintAforms.A AparentAorAguardian’sAsignatureAisArequiredAonAanyAcomplaintAfiledAbyAaA person under eighteen (18) years of age. How the complaint is handled All complaints of misconduct shall be referred to the Internal Affairs Section of the Bakersfield Police Department, unless they are received during the nighttime, weekends, or holidays. During such times, the complaint will be taken by a Sergeant or officer of higher rank. If, after a discussion of the problem, you wish to make a formal complaint, you will be assisted by formalizing your complaint in writing. The complaint will then be referred to the Internal Affairs Section for investigation. STATISTICS The Internal Affairs detail is comprised of one lieutenant, one sergeant, four detectives, and one secretary. The detail reports directly to the Chief of Police. In 2015, Bakersfield Police Officers made 302,720 documented contacts with citizens in Bakersfield. These contacts include over 30,000 priority 1 calls for service (those calls deemed the most serious), over 41,000 traffic stops, and over 28,000 pedestrian stops. These documented contacts do not include meetings and events with various community organizations, schools, and service organizations and providers. As a result of these 302,720 documented contacts, the Bakersfield Police Department received 70 formal Citizen Complaints. To put those numbers into perspective, a citizen files a complaint in .0002% of all police contacts. The Internal Affairs detail investigated these 70 citizen complaints, in addition to 21 internal investigations. In 2015, Bakersfield Police Officers used force to affect an arrest against a citizen 828 times during these 302,720 documented contacts. To put those numbers into perspective, officers use force in .002% of all citizen contacts within our city. Every use of force incident is investigated on scene by a police supervisor then reviewed by an Internal Affairs supervisor.

(Pp. 490 U. S. 396-397.) Use of Deadly Force Case Law Tennessee v. Garner, United States Supreme Court (471 U.S. 1985) -This case deals with the legal aspects of a law enforcement officer using deadly force against a fleeing felon. The court found that an officer may use deadly force to prevent an escape by a violent fleeing felon, only if "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others." Detaining and Searching a Person Case Law Terry v. Ohio, United States Supreme Court (392 U.S. 1968) -This case deals with the legal aspects on whether police can detain a person and subject him to a limited search for weapons without probable cause for arrest. The court found when a police officer observes unusual conduct which leads him or her to reasonably suspect criminal activity may be occurring and that the persons with whom he is dealing may be armed and presently dangerous, the officer can approach and briefly detain the subjects for the purpose of conducting a limited investigation, including a limited search of the outer clothing for weapons. MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director DATE: August 9, 2016 SUBJECT: Council Referral #722 – Capital Improvement Program – 5 year Plan Referral: Councilmember Maxwell submitted the following budget questions via email on August 3, 2016: I was reviewing page 239 in the 16-17 proposed budget. When I look at the GTF we are budgeting $6.4 million this fiscal year and $13.9 million in 17-18 fiscal year. The URF is also showing a significant increase between this fiscal year and next., $3.5 million to $5.5 million. What are we basing a doubling of the Gas Tax revenue and 57% increase in the URF on? I am also curious what makes up the TRIPL funding source? We show no income this year and a $33,000,001 next year for this fund and we are spending over $7 million this year. Staff Response was submitted back to Councilmember Maxwell on August 5: The capital improvement section of the budget document provides both the upcoming year budget proposal along with a five year look ahead for project planning purposes. The linking of Gas Tax funds with $13.9 million of revenue for future FY 17-18 was an oversight error. Those project costs should have been spread over two fiscal years (not one) to better align with anticipated revenues. You are correct that estimated annual gas tax revenues are in the $7.0 to $7.5 million range per year. The Utility Surcharge revenues have been tracking between $5.0 million and $5.5 million per year, so I believe the look ahead for FY 17-18 is a reasonable estimate for that future one year period. The TRIP Local funding source is generally made up of transfers in from the Transient Occupancy Tax Fund and the General fund. The $33 million anticipated in FY 17-18 is a pledge of local Kern COG STIP funding. p:nelson/misc analysis/council referral budget questions june 2016 Follow up question from Councilmember Maxwell was submitted on August 5: Thank you for the information. I take it that 100% of the income from gas taxes and utility surcharges are being dedicated to the future construction of Centennial Corridor from what you have written. I would also like to know when you were going to inform the members of the City Council of the errors in the information on the gas tax figure in this table. Follow up Response provided to Councilmember Maxwell on August 8, 2016: The Trip team continues to pursue savings opportunities, grants and related. Thus we try to avoid speaking in absolutes about specific revenue sources. Since, however, the Centennial Corridor is the final project to be funded for construction at this time it is likely to consume the lion’s share of revenues dedicated to this program. We will treat your comment as a referral and inform the other council members of the error in Fridays “General Information” memo. Additional staff comments regarding the error in the budget book: The error identified on page 239 of the FY 16-17 budget book incorrectly showed $13,904,953 of future capital project costs to be funded with Gas Tax funds in future fiscal year 2017-18. These project costs should have been spread over two future fiscal years (approximately $7 million in 2017-18 and another $7 million in 2018-19) to better align with estimated Gas Tax revenues. The adopted budget book (paged 239 and 243) will be corrected to more accurately align the estimated future year revenues with estimated future capital project costs. Follow up questions from Councilmember Maxwell; received August 8, 2016: How much of the TOT and General Funds have gone to TRIP through the TRIPL funding source? I referenced an earlier response on TOT and it can go to General Funds, however it has been going directly to Capital Outlay fund. Is it reasonable to conclude that Capital Outlay Funds have been going into TRIP? Staff Response: Funding for projects within the Capital Outlay Fund (COF) have historically been derived from three primary sources:  Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT – aka: hotel tax)  One-time General Fund revenues  Facility replacement reserve The ratio of TOT to one time General Fund revenues or facility replacement reserve varies annually depending on fiscal conditions. For example, in FY 2015- 16, TOT comprises 94 percent of the total amount of funds budgeted with the COF. The remaining source of funds was from the Facility Replacement Reserve. We have allocated COF funds to TRIP projects in prior fiscal years, but there was no current year allocation of COF for TRIP projects in FY 2015-16. In FY 14-15 the City Council authorized a transfer of $1.0 million of General Fund money to TRIP local COF fund for the Hosking Road Bridge project. In FY 2013-14 there were no transfers to the TRIP Local COF fund from either the General Fund or the TOT Fund. In FY 2012-13 the City Council authorized transfers of $6,730,000 from the TOT fund to the TRIP Local Fund along with a transfer of $2,500,000 from the General Fund to the TRIP Local Fund. The projects funded with TRIP Local dollars in FY 2012-13 include the Westside Parkway, the Morning Drive Interchange and the SR 58 Gap Closure projects. cc: Alan Tandy, City Manager Virginia Gennaro, City Attorney BBAAKKEERRSSFFIIEELLDD PPOOLLIICCEE MMEEMMOORRAANNDDUUMM To: Scott McDonald, Captain – Support Services From: Jeremy Grimes, Lieutenant – Special Projects Date: August 10, 2016 Subject: Uploading Video Surveillance Video into BPD’s Online Reporting System The Bakersfield Police Department’s online reporting system, Coplogic, allows for attachments to be added to the reports. There is, however, a limitation on the file size of the attachments. Currently, the Coplogic system only allows an attachment up to 6MB to be included with the report. This size is too small to accommodate a video file attachment. Coplogic is currently investigating allowing larger uploads, but as of now it is not available. They believe that future revisions of their system will allow for this. Police Department staff will review this option if and when it becomes available. Video evidence will continue to be collected by police personnel until another option becomes available.
