Home My WebLink About10/28/2016 AT/CH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER October 28, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information Notable Item We would like to thank everyone who attended and made possible the dedication of the “Bakersfield Police Officer David J. Nelson Memorial Bridge,” located at Hosking Avenue Interchange. Page 2 General Information October 28, 2016  Our staff regularly checks various data sources to gather information on the state of the local economy, particularly as it relates to the impacts of the downturn of the oil sector on the City’s budget. Unfortunately, the most recent sets of data continue to show no signs of improvement. Although the price of oil has risen from $20 to near $50 a barrel since the beginning of the calendar year, local exploration activity continues to remain very sluggish, with only three active rigs countywide as of last week. When drilling rigs are active, companies consume products and services, which normally translate into sales tax revenues to the City. For comparative purposes, the countywide weekly active rig count in mid-2014 fluctuated between 25 and 30. Unfortunately, the latest State employment data mirrors the slowdown in oil production activity. The latest report shows the oil sector lost 100 jobs countywide from August to September 2016. Compared to November 2014, the sector is down 4,500 jobs, which equates to a -35 percent loss over that period of time. This latest jobs report does not include the restructuring plan announced earlier this week by Aera Energy which will eliminate 167 positions.  As a reminder, we are seeking additional community input regarding the design options for the sound walls for the 24th Street Widening Project. The sound walls are proposed to be constructed in areas primarily on the north side of 24th Street between Oak Street and B Street. The four attached design options derived from initial feedback from the community. Please note the majority of the responses favor Alternative #4 (Entire Brick Facade) has been the most popular design option at this moment. Community members are encouraged to submit their preference to Janet Wheeler at jwheeler@bakersfieldfreeways.us or by calling (661) 326-3491. Subsequently, the Community Services Committee will be reviewing the design options on November 3rd. Traffic and other Road Advisories  Nighttime Lane Closures Planned for State Route 58 The contractor for the Beltway Operational Improvements project will be conducting backfill operations for the new walls along State Route 58 next week. This work will require nighttime closures to the outside lanes, in both directions, on State Route 58 between Chester Avenue and P Street. These operations will take place Sunday through Thursday, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night. This operation is expected to continue for the next two weeks. Page 3 General Information October 28, 2016 Additional work on the Beltway Operational Improvements project continues at numerous locations along State Route 99, between State Route 58 and Wilson Road, and along State Route 58, between State Route 99 and Cottonwood Road during daytime hours. No additional closures are anticipated during daytime work hours, but please stay alert and watch for construction workers and equipment while traveling through this area.
