OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
March 17, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
After the last two quarterly sales tax declines of -10.28% and -9.60%, the City saw an
increase of +1.07% for the 4th quarter 2016. Two of the biggest positives are no
additional budget cuts should be necessary at this time and the slight increase will likely
cover the special election costs for Ward 5.
A clear note of caution is still needed however, in that a comparison of the most recent
four quarters to those of a year ago still shows a negative - 5.94% and PERS costs go up
$4.0 million next fiscal year. The next distribution will come in mid-June just before budget
adoption. Let’s hope this is the beginning of a better trend! For more information, please
see the enclosed memorandum from Finance Director Nelson Smith.
The City received communications this week from the National League of Cities in
response to the recently released federal budget proposed by the White House. The
National League of Cities has significant concerns with some of the proposed cuts and
the potential impact on cities. Specifically, the budget proposes to eliminate the HOME
and Community Development Block Grant programs from which the City receives
approximately $5 million annually. These programs have allowed the City to make
significant infrastructure improvements, support social service organizations and construct
much-needed affordable housing units.
The budget also calls for the elimination of the Office of Community Oriented Policing
Services, or COPS. The City has received $7 million in COPS grant funding since 2003,
which has been utilized to hire additional sworn officers.
Other proposed cuts include grants for transportation projects and disaster mitigation
funding, which could have an impact on the City moving forward. As always, we will
continue to monitor the budget as it makes its way through Congress and keep you
updated as necessary.

A reception and open house for the City’s High-Speed Rail Station Area Plan will be held
on Thursday, March 30th. The City and community have developed a vision and strategy
to ensure Downtown Bakersfield is ready for High-Speed Rail. The meeting will present the
new Vision for Downtown, recognize the Stakeholder Committee for their volunteer
efforts, and give the public an opportunity to provide input and ideas. For more
information, please see the enclosed attachment.
A section of the Kern River Multi-Use path is temporarily closed through the first week in
April to allow the Kern County Water Agency to make emergency repairs to an existing
berm from Allen Road to approximately one mile west. The Kern County Water Agency
determined repairs are immediately necessary to ensure the integrity of the berm due to
erosion and in preparation for increased water flow within the river channel due to
impending snow melt. For more information, please click the following link:

In September 2016, the City Council approved an
emergency ordinance that outlined the process and
design standards associated with telecommunication
companies placing wireless facilities within the City’s right-
of-way. The ordinance, in part, promotes collocation of
equipment on existing poles (such as existing street lights)
and provides general standards governing the look, size,
location, and impacts of that equipment.
Over the past several months, City staff has been working
with telecommunications companies on the application of
the aesthetic and design standards of the equipment. This
week, one of the companies installed a mockup version of
the equipment on a City street light. The mockup was done
to provide staff with a chance to evaluate the equipment
“in the field.” Staff provided comments to the company
regarding improving color matching among other minor
modifications.
We expect to see permit applications submitted for these
types of facilities very soon and installation may begin as
soon as this year.
On a separate, but related note, staff has been made aware of proposed legislation that
if approved, would eliminate the City’s ability to consider the aesthetic and
environmental impacts of wireless telecommunications facilities within the right-of-way.
The proposal also preempts adopted local land use plans by mandating that these types
of facilities be allowed in all zones as a use by-right, including all residential zones. In
essence, this bill would render the City’s wireless telecommunications facilities ordinance
General Information March 17, 2017

moot. Staff has significant concern with this legislation and will be requesting the City
Council take formal action to oppose this bill during the next City Council meeting.
Cal Water Service Company (Cal Water) representatives recently notified staff of their
intention to file an advice letter with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
which will implement a number of previously approved rate adjustments. These rate
adjustments include both rate decreases as well as increases and the net result is a 0.5%
rate increase for the year. As mentioned, all of these rate adjustments are related to the
implementation of previously authorized CPUC decisions. Staff will continue to monitor
these actions to ensure that any future filings which impact customer rates but were not
previously authorized trigger a Cal Water presentation to the City Council. Cal Water has
been very diligent in informing the City of these processes in response to the enhanced
requirement to do so, included in Cal Water’s current franchise agreement with the City
of Bakersfield.
Some more positive news to report. The active countywide rig count, which is an
important business barometer for the oil industry and its suppliers, increased from 3 to 4
active rigs this week. This represents the first increase in the countywide active rig count in
over two years. For comparative purposes, at the height of the oil prices in 2014, there
were routinely 25-30 active rigs within Kern County during a given week. The increase in the active rig count coincides with recent feedback from local hoteliers who have
experienced an increase in oil-related travel. The oil-related travel is believed to be the
reason we’ve experienced increased occupancy, demand and revenues recently within
the local hotel market. We hope this is the beginning of a long-term positive pattern and
will continue to monitor the data to see if the positive trending continues.
Councilmember Andrae Gonzales and the City of Bakersfield Solid Waste Division are
partnering with local residents and the Kern County Network for Children to conduct a
cleanup near Williams Elementary School this Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 am. For
more information, please see the attached flyer.
I will be on vacation the week of March 20th through the 24th. During my absence Chris
Huot will be in charge. He and the office will have emergency contact information for
me.

AQUATICS
Total attendance for Aquatics in February was 10, 449 compared to 13,004 in
2016. This 19.6% decrease was due to the reduction in the Aquatic budget which eliminated the night Lap Swim and classes. Attendance was also
affected when Bakersfield Swim Academy moved their swim team practice to Seven Oaks Pool. In addition, with the high number of swim teams and
participants swimming at McMurtrey, the KHSD moved Golden Valley out of
McMurtrey to Garces. McMurtrey Aquatic Center:
Monthly attendance at the McMurtrey Aquatic Center was 5,749 compared to
last year’s 8,402. The greatest impact in the reduction of the budget has been
at McMurtrey with the elimination of programs. Combine this with Golden
Valley’s move to Graces and Bakersfield Swim Academy move to Seven Oaks
and attendance decreased from last year. 100 Mile Club:
The 100 Mile Lap Swim Club is currently made up of 402 active members that
swam 15,209.97 miles this month. The club has swum a combined total of
167,397 miles. Kern High School Swimming:
Golden Valley started swimming at McMurtrey in January along with Liberty,
South, West, and Bakersfield High School. The number of participants forced the
teams to have 16 + swimmers per lane. Over-all February’s attendance for these
high schools was 8,579 and 279 for the divers. Last year’s attendance was 9,193
for swim teams and 267 for divers. Jefferson Pool:
Foothill and Mira Monte High School’s swim teams’ attendance at Jefferson Pool
for the month of February totaled 1,649 compared to last year’s 1,430. Silver Creek Pool:
Stockdale and Ridgeview High School’s swim team’s attendance at Silver Creek
Pool for the month of February totaled 3,051 compared to last year’s 3,172. Make A Splash Program:
The Make A Splash drowning prevention program exceeded the CPR/AED and First Aid Training target of 60 participants by certifying 64 this year. ATHLETICS
Adult, Youth, Fitness and Adaptive Programs total attendance for the month of
February was 11,625 as compared to last year’s total of 10,457. Monthly attendance increased by 11% as compared to the same time last year. The
increase in attendance is attributed to the Spring Softball League starting earlier and the increase in attendance for softball tournaments.
Adaptive Programming: Adaptive Basketball
o The Adaptive Basketball League continued games this month. The
league is made up of seven (7) teams with games held weekly. This is the
program’s fifth year of operation.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center
Total Attendance:
o Overall attendance for the month was 4,910 as opposed to last year’s
total of 6,363. Attendance at the center was down 22% from last
February due to closing the center at 5:00 pm rather than 8:00 pm.
o Donations: $2,158
