OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
June 9, 2017
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, we like to congratulate Bruce Freeman on
his election to the Ward 5 City Council seat. Although the post-election day count of
provisional and absentee ballots may delay the formal election results, we look
forward to working with Mr. Freeman in the future.
For the second consecutive quarter, the City experienced very small growth in sales
tax revenues. When compared to the same quarter last year, receipts for the 1st
quarter of 2017 reflect +.4 percent growth. This is good news in the short term, as no
eleventh-hour adjustments to the current year or next year’s budget are necessary.
The four-quarter comparison is now trending at -4.79 percent, which reflects the
volatility that persists in the local economy.
The longer-term outlook remains very uncertain – City-paid CalPERS costs are
projected to increase $2.5 million in FY 2017-18 and $6.5 million in FY 2018-19. The City
will also need to account for the costs associated with the Ward 5 special election
that was not included in the budget. Although positive trending is a welcome
change from the recent past, it does not translate into an ability to consider any
significant additional expenditures at this time. For more information, please see the
enclosed memorandum from Assistant Finance Director Randy McKeegan.
We are pleased to announce that Greg Pronovost has been promoted to the
Director of Technology Services. He has served as the Assistant Director of
Technology Services for the last few years and has worked for the City for nearly 20
years. Congratulations!
Applications were recently accepted for the 2017 League of California Cities
Australian Exchange Program with the Local Government Managers Association of
Australia. This program provides an opportunity for selected applicants to travel to
Australia and represent the League of California Cities at a conference in either
Sydney or the Gold Coast. The program also includes a job shadowing opportunity

with an Australian local government agency. I am pleased to announce that
Assistant to the City Manager Chris Gerry was one of two delegates selected
statewide to participate in this highly competitive program. Congratulations!
TheBakersfield Police Department, Community Relations Unit, has recently started its
summer school series of presentations at our local high schools, which consists of
anti-bulling, internet safety, and human trafficking information. These presentations
are presented on an annual basis.
Also, the Unit was invited to a meeting with the District Attorney’s Office, members of
the disabled community, and other partners to collaborate on training for officers
about how to recognize and interact with individuals with different types of
disabilities. The training includes information for the disabled community about
reporting and interacting with officers. The group is making videos to facilitate the
training and hopes to make them available very soon.
Finally, the Unit recently graduated 19 new Explorers into the BPD Explorer Post. There
are approximately 70 active Explorers, and 12 Explorer Advisors volunteering for the
BPD. About 150 new Explorers were tested yesterday at the Rabobank Convention
Center, which is the first step in becoming an Explorer for the BPD.
Traffic Advisory
Nighttime Street Closure at Madison Street
Madison Street will be closed in the vicinity of State Route 58 on Friday night, June 9,
2017. The closure allows the contractor for the Beltway Operational Improvements
Project to set a 125-foot long pre-cast girder for the Madison Street Bridge widening.
This closure is expected to be in effect from 6:00 p.m. Friday through 5:00 a.m.
Saturday. Motorists needing to cross the freeway can use either Union Avenue or
Cottonwood Road while this work is underway.
In addition, sound wall and barrier construction continues along State Route 58,
requiring intermittent nighttime closures of freeway lanes and ramps. Motorists
traveling along State Route 58 during nighttime hours should anticipate closures of
the two outside lanes, between Union Avenue and Cottonwood Road, Sunday
through Thursday nights from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. The intermittent closures required
for this work is expected to continue for several months.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Assistant Finance Director
DATE: June 8, 2017
SUBJECT: Quarterly Sales Tax Update
We received the most recent quarterly sales tax data, which reflects the activity and
sales during the months of January, February, and March 2017. The adjusted quarterly
and annual trend information is as follows:
Adjustedquarterly data
Comparing the most recent quarter with the same quarter last year –
positive (+) 0.40 %.
Adjustedannualized data
Comparing the most recent four quarters with the prior four quarters –
negative (-) 4.79 %.
Specific industry data will be available in a few weeks. This continues a positive trend
signaling a minimal recovery after almost two years of decline. We are hopeful that
the worst is over and that our economy will show more signs of recovery in the months
to come.
However, we would recommend caution as we move forward due to the continued
volatility of oil prices and other economic indicators like rising interest costs. We would
like to see more than a quarter or two of positive movement before we view this as a
lasting trend.
We will continue to monitor this important General Fund revenue as it is a critical
component of our annual budget.
