July 28, 1976
Bakersfield City Council
1501Truxtun Avenue
Bakersfield, California 93301
Gentlemen:
We would like to have your comments on our
Department's six-year planning program,
essentially a plan for statewide highway
expenditures for the period from July 1977
through June 1983. This program was presented
to the California Highway Commission on July
15. The Commission is scheduled to discuss
the program at its August meeting and take
final action in September.
The attached news release contains a summary
of the program. From this you can see that
over one-half of the funds are devoted to
maintaining, rehabilitating, and operating the
State highway system. Only 21% of the program
goes toward construction of new facilities.
The news release also contains a statewide
July 26, 1976, regarding problems with property located at 2002 -

listing of major new construction projects.
Attached "Exhibit F" describes the capital out-
lay portion of the program. If you would like
a more detailed description of the program
categories, please let us know.
There is no new highway construction scheduled
for Kern County during the six-year period.
The program does include, however, funds for
landscaping a portion of the new Route 58
Freeway in Bakersfield and the construction of
a new roadside rest on Interstate 5 near Lebec.
We would like your comments to be available to
the Commission when it meets in August. To
meet this schedule we need to receive them by
August 6. We recognize that this is short
notice; so if you cannot respond by that date,
please do so when you can, keeping in mind the
Commission's September action date.
If you have any questions about the program,
please contact Mr. Irwin Rosa (phone 488-4014)
or Mr. Bob Binger (phone 488-4090).
Yours very truly,

Council Statements.
Councilman Rogers stated that on Ju~y 2, 1976, Legis-
lative Report No. 6-76 regarding HR 10210 "Unemployment Compensation
Act Amendments" was presented to the Council and the Council went
on record vigorously opposing this bill. The House of Representa-
tives has since passed the bill which could cost the City of
Bakersfield an additional $400,000.00 annually by requiring the
City to pay into the unemployment compensation fund.
Upon a motion by Councilman Rogers, the Mayor was
requested to prepare the necessary comJ~unications expressing the
Council's opposition to HR 10210 to each member of the Senate
Committee hearing the bill and Senators Cranston and Tunney.
Councilman Bleecker stated that word has been received
from the State Department of Transportation that funds will not be
available, for at least six years, to construct a freeway along
24th Street and as it is being more heavily traveled all the time
the City is going to have to provide the residents of this area
access to that street.
Upon a motion by Councilman Bleecker, Minute Order
directing the Traffic Authority to investigate and make a recom-
mendation to provide access for crossing 24th Street to the
residents living on the north and south sides between "F" Street
and Oak Street, was unanimously approved.
Reports.
Councilman Barton, Chairman of the Business Development
and Parking Committee, read Report No. 5-76 regarding Approval of
Downtown Improvement District Budget for 1976-77, as follows:
On August 4, 1976, the Council Business
Development and Parking Committee met to
consider the Downtown Improvement District's
proposed budget for 1976-77.
The proposed budget of $52,829 is up $4,~61
over actual 1974-75 expenses. The major
increases include a salary adjustment for the
executive director and added expenses for
Bakersfield, California, August 9, 1976 - Page 4
195
insurance, payroll taxes and cleaning. The
committee had some questions about what is
included in the Promotion Account and has asked
the District for further clarification of that
item.
The proposed budget incorporates the same
criteria or formula used during the previous
year with the Downtown Business Association
sharing a flat 15 percent in most budget account
items.
The Business Development and Parking Committee
recom~nends that the City Council approve the
1976-77 Downtown Improvement District Budget
as submitted, with the understanding that the
committee reserves the option to review the
Promotion Account if it feels that additional
detail warrants such review.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Report No. 5-76 of
the Business Development and Parking Committee, was accepted and
the 1976-77 Downtown Improvement District Budget, as submitted,
with the understanding that the Committee reserves the option to
review the Promotion Account if it feels that additional detail
warrants such review, was approved.
Councilman Rogers, Chairman of the Water and City Growth
Committee, read Report No. 10-76 regarding Kern River Water Rights
Acquisition, as follows:
The contract of sale with Tenneco West, Inc.
for the acquisition of the Kern River Water
Rights was validated by the Superior Court,
Kern County, on Friday, July 30, 1976. On
August 9, 1976, this committee met to review
the various funding sources for that acquisition.
The Water Facilities Corporation was formed by
this Council some months ago to sell bonds in
an amount sufficient to cover the acquisition.
Another financing alternative is for the city
to issue bonds, either water revenue or general
obligation. A revenue bond issue would require
a Yes vote of 50% and a general obligation bond
would require a 66 2/3% Yes vote. General
obligation bonds would produce substantial
savings to the City and still allow revenues
from the sale of water to pay the obligation.
The Water Facilities Corporation, at its
regular meeting of August 5, endorsed a general
obligation bond as the most effective means to
minimize the cost of this acquisition.
It is the recommendation of this committee
that this Council call an election for the
Bakersfield, California, August 9, 1976 - Page 5
purpose of submitting to the voters a general
obligation bond. It is further recommended
that a citizens committee be appointed to over-
see a successful election and thereby preserving
a long term water supply for the City.
In order to implement this recommendation, the
following steps are necessary:
1. Receive this report.
2. Approve a Resolution determining public
interest and necessity.

amount of $50.00 per

The project was completed by Mead House Wrecking Company
on August 6, 1976. The contractor exceeded the number of working
days allowed by the contract by 12 calendar days and has requested
an extension of the contract "because of the holiday weekend and
equipment problems." Because this request does not meet the
criteria set forth in the third paragraph of Section 8 of the
instructions and conditions of this contract, it is the recom-
mendation of the Public Works Department that this request for an
extension of time not be granted. However, it is recommended that
an additional five days be granted to cover the time lag from the
time the contract was signed to the time the contractor should
and that liquidated damages in the specified
day be charged to the contractor for the

Deferral of Cooperative Agreement
between the City of Bakersfield
and State of California for funding
of road improvements on existing
Route 58.
The State proposes to relinquish to the City that portion
of existing Route 58 within the City Limits after the new Freeway
is complete. As a condition for relinquishment, the State is
required to bring the street to a state of good repair. They
proposed to place 0.020 foot of A.C. over the entire roadway. In
the opinion of the Public Works Department, portions of the road
should be reconstructed to reduce the height of the crown and adding
additional surfacing will only increase the problem. The State
indicated they would transfer the estimated funds for surfacing to
the City and we could fund the road improvements as we recommended,
20-
Bakersfield, California, August 9, 1976 - Page 13
since they are only required to bring the roadway to a State o£
good repair.
This agreement provides the City with $166,000.00 to
fund road improvements on existing Route 58 as deemed necessary,
with a stipulation that the funds be spent prior to September 30,
1978. The Public Works Department's recommendation is to accept
their proposal.
Councilman Sceales questioned whether or not the City
is required to accept this highway.
Deputy Director of Public Works Hawley stated that he
believes that the relinquishment to the City, of this highway upon
completion of the new Freeway 58, was part of the original agree-
ment between the City and State.
After discussion, upon a motion by Councilman Sceales,
Cooperative Agreement between the City of Bakersfield and State of
California for funding of road improvements on existing Route 58,
was held over until the Council Meeting of August 23, 1976 for a
report from the staff.
