OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
December 22, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
MERRY CHRISTMAS
City offices will be closed Monday, December 25th, in observance of the Christmas holiday,
and Monday, January 1st, in observance of the New Year. Curbside trash service will be
delayed by one day for both holidays.
Notable Items
Citizens Business Bank, one of the last demolitions for the Centennial Corridor Project, is
being demolished today. The Centennial Corridor Project will construct a new alignment
for State Route 58 from Cottonwood Road on existing State Route 58 (East) to Interstate 5.
The project will ultimately provide route continuity and traffic congestion relief along State
Route 58 within metropolitan Bakersfield and Kern County from the existing State Route 58
(East) to Interstate 5.

The City recently hired a contractor to evaluate various points on the influent line at
Wastewater Treatment Plan No. 3. During this evaluation, the contractor identified a
twelve-foot section that displayed a loss of steel thickness of more than 75 percent
(allowable industry standard is around 12.5 percent). As a result, the City is conducting
emergency work to replace this section of the influent line. An emergency resolution will
be placed on the next City Council agenda. Please see the attachment for additional
information.
Good news! The City-operated parking structure at 18th and Eye Streets is now accessible
to hourly parking customers from the Eye Street entrance. Prior to the latest
improvements, hourly parking customers could only enter at the 18th Street entrance. The
upgrade is intended to provide additional accessibility to off-street parking for visitors to
the downtown area.
Bakersfield Mobile, the City’s official service reporting smartphone app, launched in July
2014. Since that time, nearly 17,000 reports have been submitted to City staff. Of the
17,000 reports submitted, the most common request is graffiti with nearly 6,000 reports
made to date. Water waste, street light issues, illegal dumping, and potholes round out
the top five most requested items. More recently, the app was updated to allow users to
report several common code enforcement-related items, including overgrown lawn or
weeds, junk, trash and/or debris in a yard, abandoned furniture, algae in swimming pools
and vehicles parked on a lawn. Bakersfield Mobile has an average app store user review
rating of 4.5 stars and won a Kern Council of Governments Regional Award of Merit in
2014. The City continues to identify ways to enhance and expand the app. As always, the
app is free to download in Google Play and App Store (iOS) by searching for “Bakersfield
Mobile.”
During the weeks of Christmas and New Year holidays, trash and recycling service will be
delayed by one day. The Mount Vernon Green Waste Facility will be closed on Monday,
December 25th, and reopen Tuesday, December 26th, at 7:00 a.m. They will also be closed
on Monday, January 1st, and reopen Tuesday, January 2nd. In addition to recycling
Christmas trees at the facility or the green waste containers, trees can also be recycle at
Bakersfield College, Cal State Bakersfield, and the Fairgrounds. Please see the attached
release for more information.
I will be on vacation from December 26th through December 29th. Chris Huot will be in
charge during my absence, and I will have both email and cell phone capability if
necessary.

Nighttime Striping Operations on State Routes 58 and 99
The contractor for the Beltway Operational Improvements Project plans to refresh lane
striping on State Routes 58 and 99, within the project area, during nighttime hours
Tuesday, December 26th, through Thursday, December 28th.
This work will require alternating lane and ramp closures for both directions of travel on
State Route 99, between Ming Avenue and Wilson Road, and on State Route 58 between
State Route 99 and Cottonwood Road. This work is expected to take place between the
hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. each night.
Shifts to traffic are also planned for the northbound State Route 99 off-ramp, westbound
Chester Avenue off-ramp, and the eastbound Cottonwood off-ramp in the coming
weeks.
Electricians plan to continue the installation of fiber optics along eastbound State Route
58, between Chester Avenue and Cottonwood Road, Tuesday through Thursday nights,
between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Motorists should anticipate closures of the outside lanes
in the vicinity of this work.
