The report gives a summary of each TRIP project under design or construction. Completion percentages and pictures of projects are also included.  Doug McIsaac, Community Development Director, recently resigned his position with the City due to personal reasons. We thank Doug for his time and service to the City and wish him well in the future. Jacqui Kitchen, Planning Director, will be the interim department head.  Two more Bakersfield postcards have arrived, courtesy of Visit Bakersfield. One postcard features the Bakersfield Arch (photographed by Doug Kessler). The second profiles the Mill House (photographed by Gilbert Vega). Both were produced in response to many requests from visitors looking for postcards of Bakersfield. Both postcards are available free at Visit Bakersfield located at 515 Truxtun Avenue. Page 2 General Information September 2, 2016  Recently a Bakersfield resident, Ed Luttrell, had a medical emergency while working in his backyard. Bakersfield Fire Department (Station 13) and Hall Ambulance personnel quickly responded to this emergency and transported Mr. Luttrell to the appropriate medical facility. When Mr. Luttrell eventually returned home, he was elated to find that Fire Department personnel ensured that yard tools where cleaned and properly stored. Following this act of kindness, Mr. Luttrell met in-person with those involved from the Fire Department and Hall Ambulance to display his appreciation. It is always a special moment when our first responders get the chance to meet their patients after they have made a positive recovery. Traffic and other Road Advisories  Potential Traffic Control – State Route 178 near Alfred Harrell Highway Intermittent traffic control may be needed next week on State Route 178 at Alfred Harrell Highway. The contractor for the State Route 178 Widening project will be removing dirt and bringing in aggregate base, and flagging personnel may need to stop traffic intermittently to allow trucks to enter and leave the work site.  Rosedale Highway Median Work Between Landco Drive and Parker Lane The contractor for the Rosedale Highway Widening Project will be completing work on the median between Landco Drive and Parker Lane next week, September 6th through 12th. The work requires an around-the- clock closure of the inside westbound lane on Rosedale Highway at this location, but work will only be performed during nighttime hours, between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The middle westbound lane will also be closed while work is underway, leaving one westbound lane open to traffic.

This report is to provide a periodic up-to-date snapshot of each project’s recent major activities and progress. If you have questions, or need additional information, please contact Janet Wheeler at the TRIP office, (661) 326-3491. Regular project updates are also available on the TRIP website at BakersfieldFreeways.us MILESTONES It’s time for another celebration! Construction is coming to a close on the Rosedale Highway Widening Project and three lanes will soon be open in each direction between Calloway Drive and Gibson Street. A ribbon cutting ceremony has been scheduled for September 29th at 10:30 a.m. The event will be held at the SJFM/Tricor facility located on the northeast corner of Rosedale Highway and Mohawk Street. The City requested a modification to the injunction stopping work on the 24th Street Improvement Project to allow design work and right-of-way acquisition to move forward on the State Route 99/24th Street Interchange section of the project and, on August 12th, the court agreed to the request. Interchange improvements include adding a lane to the westbound loop on-ramp from 24th Street to southbound State Route 99; adding a second right-turn lane for the westbound approach from 24th Street to Buck Owens Blvd.; and adding a second right-turn lane to the southbound Buck Owens Blvd. approach to 24th Street. The City had requested to accelerate the design in this section to be shovel- ready for potential State funding opportunities next spring. Representatives from FHWA accepted TRIP’s invitation to visit Bakersfield on August 5th. City, Caltrans, and Kern COG staff updated the three representatives on the overall program, with an emphasis on the future Centennial Corridor project. The group toured the future Centennial Corridor alignment for a first-hand look at the success of the Early Acquisition program, which FHWA approved in early 2014, and the progress of demolishing the City-owned properties. PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION Beltway Operational Improvements Contractor: Security Paving Company 37% complete; anticipated completion: late 2017 This project includes various improvements along State Route 58, from State Route 99 to Cottonwood Road, and on State Route 99, from north of Ming Avenue to Wilson Road. Temporary pumps and pipes for a bypass were installed in August for the storm water pump plant on northbound State Route 99 near Ming Avenue. Demolition will be underway on the old pump plant during September to allow for the construction of a new facility with this project. Construction is underway on the new connector bridge on State Route 58, just east of State Route 99. Foundations have been completed for the bridge abutments and columns. The contractor plans to complete the columns and begin setting falsework in September. September 2016 TRIP Status Report TRIP Status Report August 2016 Page 2 The contractor plans to re-commence excavation for the soundwall footing near State Route 99 and Ming Avenue within the next month, pending the departure of a San Joaquin Kit fox whose presence has delayed work on the wall. Retaining walls and soundwalls are also under varying stages of construction along State Route 58, between State Route 99 and Cottonwood Road, along both sides of the freeway. Depending upon location, this work is conducted during both daytime and nighttime work hours. Work conducted during nighttime hours may require freeway lane and ramp closures, Sunday through Thursday nights, for several weeks. Construction will continue on the P Street and Madison Street bridge widenings through September. Work on these bridges is performed during daytime hours and detours may be needed while work is underway. Rosedale Highway Widening Contractor: Teichert Construction 95% complete; anticipated completion: fall 2016 Last month, crews completed curb and gutter installation between Calloway Drive and Mohawk Street. Work on the road widening included compacting roadway subgrade and installation of aggregate base. Asphalt paving was also completed in August. Sidewalk and driveway installation is ongoing. Work continues for signal modifications, striping, pavement markers, signal loop detectors, and private property restorations. Construction crews will continue working during nighttime hours through September. Please slow down and watch for construction crews and equipment while traveling on Rosedale Highway during nighttime hours. A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for September 29th. Three lanes will be open to traffic in both directions, though crews may remain in the area to complete punch list items for a few more weeks. State Route 178 Widening Contractor: Granite Construction 56% complete; anticipated completion: spring-2017 In August, the contractor continued drainage work on the south side of State Route 178, between Canteria Drive and Alfred Harrell Highway. Other work in this area included the installation of sidewalk and a driveway and cold planing the existing asphalt roadway. Roadway excavation was underway last month on the south side of State Route 178, between Valley Street and Alfred Harrell Highway, and on State Route 184. Roadway excavation will continue in both areas in September. The new retaining wall adjacent to the Mesa Marin Sports Complex was completed and backfilled in August. In September, the contractor plans to begin placing Class 2 aggregate base on the south side of State Route 178, between Canteria Drive and Alfred Harrell Highway. Paving is expected to begin by the end of the month. Drainage work will continue through September, on the south side of State Route 178, between Canteria Drive and Valley Street, and on State Route 184. Final pavement delineation between Alfred Harrell Highway and Miramonte Drive is expected to be completed in September. The signal at the Miramonte Drive intersection is also expected to be restored to full operation in the coming month. Southbound State Route 99 Auxiliary Lane/Rosedale Highway Off-ramp Improvements Contractor: Security Paving Company 37% complete; anticipated completion: early 2017 A second retaining wall along the southbound Rosedale Highway off-ramp is now under construction. A small signal pole at the end of the ramp was temporarily relocated and minor paving and restriping was completed on the ramp. During the coming month, the contractor will be working on shoring, excavation and small concrete pours for the new wall. TRIP Status Report August 2016 Page 3 Due to space restrictions at this end of the project, motorists should anticipate frequent night closures of this off-ramp. Southbound motorists who want to use this exit during nighttime hours will need to continue on and exit at California Avenue, then return northbound to the Rosedale Highway/24th Street exit. PROJECTS IN DESIGN AND RIGHT-OF-WAY 24th Street Improvement Project Designer: TYLin International Design 65% complete; Right-of-Way 90% complete (full acquisitions); Anticipate bidding interchange: fall-2017 The court modified the injunction stopping work on the 24th Street Improvement Project on August 12th, allowing design work to move forward on the State Route 99/24th Street Interchange section of the project. The final determination hearing for the remainder of the project is calendared for October 7th. Design work on the State Route 99/24th Street Interchange section of the project has re-started. Crews completed the final three utility potholes for the interchange in late August. The remainder of project design, soundwall design, and streetscape design remain on hold. Hageman Flyover Designer: Caltrans Design 65% complete; Right-of-Way 5% complete The 60% Constructability Review Meeting was held on July 13th; there were no significant comments. Follow up focus meetings were held with the City on August 11th regarding traffic, drainage, streets, aesthetics, and right-of-way. The Supplemental Project Report and Environmental Revalidation are being revised due to bike path realignment and the relocation of a drainage basin. The general plans for the railroad overhead grade separation have been submitted to the San Joaquin Valley Railroad. Right-of-way acquisition will not begin until design has progressed to 95% • 12 properties; subject to change as design progresses Truxtun/Oak Intersection Operational Improvements Designer: Dokken Engineering Design 95% complete; Right-of-Way 10% complete The project will widen Truxtun Avenue, to three lanes in each direction, from Empire Drive to east of Elm Street, modify the curve at the Westwind Drive intersection, and provide a right-turn deceleration lane for westbound traffic turning north onto Westwind Drive. 95% plans have been submitted to the City and Caltrans for review Right-of-way – Partial Acquisitions • 4 ownerships west of Oak Street • 8 ownerships east of Oak Street • The appraisal process is underway TRIP Status Report August 2016 Page 4 Centennial Corridor Designer: Parsons Design: 65% complete; Right-of-Way 84% complete for full acquisitions of single-family properties Final design, Right-of-Way acquisition, and demolition activities are underway The kick-off meeting for final design was held in August To date, City Council has approved ten demolition contracts to remove a total of 100 structures that have been acquired for the project.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM August 31, 2016 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Chris Huot, Assistant City Manager CH SUBJECT: 12 Police Officers and Transient Occupancy Tax Council Referral No. 730 Councilmember Maxwell requested staff provide information on how transient occupancy tax revenue can be redirected to the General Fund and requested the Bakersfield Police Department Management Team indicate how they would deploy 12 new officers pear year over a 5 year period. Transient Occupancy Tax Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT), more commonly known as the Hotel Tax, is a 12% tax assessed to the cost of each hotel room within the city limits. Attachment No. 1 shows the previous 10 years actual TOT revenues and the current year revised projected estimated revenue. In FY 2015-16, the City collected $9.45 million in TOT revenue. The City has historically and continues to use these funds for existing obligations such as $3.2 million in annual debt service payments on the Arena, to cover the net loss on arena operations up to $415,000 per year and to fund Visit Bakersfield at approximately $800,000 annually. Please note, both the arena and Visit Bakersfield generate economic activity that is very beneficial to local economy, particularly in times where other local industry sectors are stressed. The remainder of TOT revenue ($6.4 million in FY 2016-17) has historically been transferred to the Capital Outlay Fund (COF) for capital projects. For 2016-17, TOT revenues account for 98 percent of the funding for projects budgeted within the COF. In general, the COF provides resources for projects associated with general fund based City services. Examples include materials for local street maintenance, rehabilitation and improvement projects at all fire stations, select park projects, animal care center improvements and arena facility improvements. TOT revenues also provide a source for local matching funds that are required to leverage most regional, state and federal grants for capital projects. In most cases, these grants cover up to 90 percent of the project cost, with a 10 percent local match requirement. The ability for the City to provide the local match would be very difficult should TOT revenues be diverted. Attachment No. 2 is the adopted list of capital projects for FY 2016-17 that are 98 TOT and PD Staffing August 31, 2016 Page 2 percent funded with TOT revenues. Out of the 12 projects listed, 7 are local matches for federal or state grants the City received. TOT may be proposed to be transferred to some other fund (for example, the General Fund or Capital Outlay Fund), however these discussions and actions are typically considered by the full City Council as part of the annual budget review and adoption process. Notwithstanding the ability to redirect the non-obligated TOT revenues to the General Fund, doing so would prevent staff from being able to meet certain high priority City Council goals. Most significantly, redirecting TOT revenues to the General Fund will decimate the materials budget for most local roads maintenance. TOT revenues historically provide the funding source for the lion’s share of the Streets Division materials budget. This action would greatly reduce the Streets Division staff’s ability to address the ongoing maintenance needs of the City’s 3,000 miles of streets under their responsibility. Redirecting this funding will also negate much of the efforts made to implement the City’s pavement management system and improve the City’s Pavement Condition Index. Furthermore, not addressing certain street maintenance issues such as potholes increases the City’s exposure for claims and liability damages, which will likely occur if TOT revenues are shifted from the COF. Finally, the reduction to the Street Division’s materials budget will likely mean that residents will no longer have the ability to submit pothole repair requests via the Bakersfield Mobile smartphone application or through other means, as staff’s ability to address the volume of reports with less material will be significantly constrained. Additionally, other critical capital projects will be deferred indefinitely should TOT revenues be redirected away from the COF. These types of projects include most maintenance projects for fire stations, animal care center, most projects at the arena, many parks projects, administrative building projects and improvements being made to pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure through grants that require local matches. The City is ultimately responsible to the taxpayers to maintain City streets, infrastructure, buildings and other facilities. These assets ensure staff can provide acceptable levels of services to the public. The use of TOT revenues for maintenance of these assets is a practical and proven method. Staff does not recommend any changes to the historic and current practice for utilization of TOT revenues. Police Department Management Team Response – Deployment of 12 Officers per Year The Department would deploy the additional officers based on crime analysis, calls for service and response times. The Department will further evaluate trends and events in an effort to forecast the staffing needs of each respective zone in the City each time additional staff is authorized. At this time based on the significant decrease in response times to each zone the department does not plan to add or reconfigure the current zones. The 12 additional officers would be placed in the zones and shifts based on the aforementioned criteria. The addition of 12 officers per year also impacts span of TOT and PD Staffing August 31, 2016 Page 3 control. The addition of 12 officers equates to approximately 1.5 Sergeant positions for supervision and 24 officers equates to one Lieutenant position.
