OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
June 30, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
City offices will be closed next Tuesday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day.
Curbside trash service is delayed one day due to the holiday.
Notable Items
Good news! Earlier this week, the California Transportation Commission approved an
$86 million increase to Caltrans’ State Route (SR) 99 Rehabilitation Project for next
fiscal year. This project includes improvements to a segment of 24th Street at SR99.
The City and Caltrans worked collaboratively to add the section of 24th Street from
the Kern River Bridge to SR-99, also known as Segment 1, into the rehab project as this
portion of 24th Street is within the Caltrans right-of-way. Segment 1 consists of
widening 24th Street to four lanes in the westbound direction, expanding the SR-99
southbound loop on-ramp to two lanes and expanding the northbound SR-99 off-
ramp. Caltrans expects this rehab project to bid in about a year. Segment 1 will be
one of the first orders of work under this project.
Several months ago, we submitted a grant application under the FASTLANE federal
grant program. Since that time, we have been monitoring the status of the grant for
the Centennial Corridor Project. The grant criteria was established under the previous
administration. However, the current administration has recently decided to change the criteria and has requested applicants resubmit grant applications. The delay is
unfortunate but we will plan to resubmit and believe the project will meet the new criteria.
In early March 2017, the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking
Water (DDW) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for a new maximum contaminant level (MCL) for the synthetic organic chemical 1,2,3-trichloropropane
(TCP). The anticipated implementation schedule for the new regulation requires
utilities to begin sampling for TCP in drinking water during the first quarter of 2018. DDW
will require that the City comply with the new regulation within the City’s domestic
water system area.

The City currently estimates that the capital costs for this mandatory remediation project will be in the range of $52 to $55 million. While the water enterprise has a
modest fund balance that has allowed us to order some of the items with longer lead times, the City enterprise will need to finance the remainder of the project. This
borrowing will require a substantial user rate increase to fund the capital costs and
cover the increased operating cost for the new wellhead treatment. Staff is currently
working with an outside consultant to conduct a rate study and determine the
necessary rate increases in order to comply with the new state mandates. Staff is
diligently working to bring the proposed rate increase information forward to the
Council during the July 19th City Council meeting. Staff will seek Council approval to
distribute Proposition 218 notifications to all the affected ratepayers within the City’s
domestic water system. The notification will have an upper limit of proposed rate
increases along with the reasons why the proposed rate increase is necessary.
Attached is a press release that went out last week regarding the upcoming annual
4th of July Community Celebration at the Park at River Walk. Please note that parking
for this event is extremely limited. The vacant lot at the corner of Stockdale Highway
and Buena Vista Road, which in years past has been used for overflow parking, will
be unavailable this year due to an abundance of kit fox activity. Signage and staff
will be directing people not to park in this location. Citizens are encouraged to utilize
alternative methods of transportation including walking, biking, public transportation
and carpooling to get to the park. Secure bike valet parking will be provided by Bike Bakersfield starting at 6:00 p.m. and utilizing the bike path is a great way to get to the
event.
The Wayside Spray Park has reopened after repairs were recently made to a broken pipe.
I will be out of the office next week. Steve Teglia will be in charge during my absence.
My staff has my contact information should I need to be reached. Reports
