OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
January 19, 2018 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
The City conducted its annual budget kick-off meeting today, and work on the budget will now begin in earnest. Council consideration is scheduled to begin on
May 9th, when management staff will present the yearly overview.
This week, Amazon released their list of the top 20 candidates for HQ2. While Bakersfield was not on it, a representative from the Amazon Public Policy Team
contacted our Community Development Director, Jacqui Kitchen, to thank Bakersfield for our proposal.
The Bakersfield police department will step up pedestrian safety enforcement
operations during the coming two weeks with focused enforcement on collision causing factors involving motorists and pedestrians. Routine traffic patrols will focus
efforts in trouble spots while special targeted patrols will also be deployed to
crackdown on drivers and pedestrians who violate traffic laws meant to protect all
roadway users. Please see the attached memo for more information.
Congratulations once again to the TRIP team! We have been informed that the
Kern Council of Governments has selected TRIP to receive a Regional Award of
Merit in the category of Transportation for the State Route 178 Widening Project.
The project, which was completed in May 2017, widened a three mile section of the
highway to provide six lanes from Canteria Drive to Masterson Street and four lanes
from Masterson Street to Miramonte Drive. The project included a realignment of the
State Route 184 connection to State Route 178 and improved the intersections at
Masterson Street, Alfred Harrell Highway, and Miramonte Drive. With the completion
of this project, TRIP has improved six miles of State Route 178 in northeast Bakersfield.
Prior projects on this route include the award-winning Morning Drive Interchange
and Fairfax Road Interchange.
The award will be presented at the Annual Regional Awards Ceremony on March 1, 2018. The event will be held at Seven Oaks Country Club.

We are pleased to announce the City will also receive a 2017 Regional Award of
Merit in the category of innovation by the Kern Council of Governments for its Open
Budget platform. The innovation category recognizes those individuals, products,
programs or services that demonstrate groundbreaking thought in introducing a
new idea or method. Launched in 2017, the Open Budget application provides a
visual, intuitive means of exploring and analyzing the City's operating and capital
budgets. The charts, graphs and tables are interactive - allowing users to better
understand how the City allocates taxpayer dollars. Interactive charts and graphs
allow users to “dig down” into the budget, exploring how funds are allocated across
City departments, programs and capital improvement projects.
Users can also access the raw budget data that powers the visualizations, providing
another level of transparency. The data contained with the platform is updated after each accounting period closes, which generally occurs the first week of each
month. Historical revenue and expenditure data is available for each fiscal year going back to 2013. The Open Budget platform continues the City’s commitment to
providing open data to residents, businesses and the community.
The Open Budget data platform available at http://budget.bakersfieldcity.us

Work Rescheduled
Lane and Ramp Closures - Westside Parkway at Calloway Drive
The full closure of the eastbound Calloway Drive off-ramp planned for this past week
has been rescheduled for Monday, January 22 and Tuesday, January 23, between
the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The outside lane on southbound Calloway Drive,
between Marby Grange Way and the westbound Westside Parkway on-ramp will
also be closed during this time period, but the westbound on-ramp will remain open
to traffic while work is underway.
These closures are needed to complete interchange improvements in advance of the route adoption of the Westside Parkway into the State Route system. The
Westside Parkway will become part of State Route 58 in conjunction with the Centennial Corridor project. Reports
