BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield, in coordination with California High Speed Rail Authority, is developing a strategy for the area around the planned HSR station in Downtown Bakersfield. The plan will guide the area's physical development, stimulate economic activity, and enhance the community's sustainability by encouraging infill development and enhancing multimodal connectivity. The study will build on existing planning efforts to create a vision for the development and revitalization of Downtown Bakersfield with HSR and the results can be used to pursue public and private sector funding for implementation, as well as create a baseline document for future Downtown planning efforts. The City hired the Skidmore Ownings & Merrill LLP team to prepare the plan and various reports and deliverables. The project has been organized into 7 project phases through a comprehensive Work Plan. At the request of Vice Mayor Smith, this workshop is a Staff presentation to update City Council on the High-Speed Rail Station Area Plan project; what has been completed so far and what is ahead for 2017.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager DATE: 2/27/2017 111-11 V 03 SUBJECT: City Council Goals Update. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council review the attached Highlights and Accomplishments Report for City Council Goals adopted in 2015. BACKGROUND: The City Council Goals and Guiding Principles document provides City staff with direction on Council priorities. Typically, this document is updated every two years in correspondence with elections and the City budget. This allows new Councilmembers to have the opportunity to provide input while considering the City's economic condition. To begin the process for the 2017 Councils Goals, the following documents are submitted for Council's review: • A PowerPoint presentation highlighting accomplishments of the previously adopted Council Goals • The City Council Goals, including the Guiding Principles, as most recently adopted by the City Council on November 9, 2015. o Included in the document is a brief report noting the accomplishments and progress made toward the goals that were adopted by Council in 2015. These comments are identified in blue writing after each goal. This report was prepared with review and input from Department Heads and staff members involved in the oversight of goal implementation. After the accomplishments are presented and staff receives feedback, it would be staff's intention to return to Council at a future date with a draft revised goals document striking out those goals that have been accomplished and adding additional goals developed by Council.
