OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
June 15, 2018
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Former Mayor Mary K Shell (1927-2018)
We are saddened to learn of passing of former Mayor Mary K. Shell. Ms. Shell was the
first female mayor in the City's history, serving as mayor from 1981 to 1985. Her legacy
will leave a lasting impression on Bakersfield and Kern County for generations to come.
We extend our thoughts to Ms. Shell's family and friends.
Notable Items
In 2007 the estimated amount we would need to borrow to complete TRIP was $270
million. The small group that has sued us seven times and others claimed it would
turn into $700 million or more- “all governmental programs do they contended.”
Today with bid packages yet to go on two major projects the borrow amount is
down to zero. There is a contingency in case of price escalation.
Attached you will find two pages that explain how that happened over time. Bigger
picture – most projects and property acquisition were delivered below budget,
contributions from the County and Cal Trans took place, Kern COG searched
everywhere for grants, and the original earmark money was used to get projects
shovel ready which placed the applications in an advantageous position when
grant opportunities developed. $169 million was awarded in just the last few months.
Most importantly former congressman Bill Thomas created the partnership of,
Bakersfield, Kern County, Kern COG and Cal Trans District 6 to expedite project
delivery. That group named themselves TRIP after Mr. Thomas. The City oversaw most
contracts and projects. Parsons was added to manage environmental, regulatory
and design work. Over time the partnership became an effective and efficient
team that delivered to provide a major exception to the theory about “all
governmental programs”.

This week, we learned some encouraging information on SB 850, the budget bill that
details the parameters and requirements of the Homeless Emergency Aid Program.
The City of Bakersfield and the Kern County Homeless Collaborative will be eligible
for just under $4 million in funds ($3,850,979). The expectation is that applications will
be received on or before December 31, 2018.
Each year, the BPD Fitness Committee raises funds and selects two local charities to
donate to. This year funds were raised to purchase supplies such as soap, shampoo,
razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, and underwear to create sanitary kits for the
Homeless Shelter. On Friday, June 8, 2018, several committee members met with
staff from Target, who assisted with the donation to provide to clients of the
Homeless Shelter.
PG&E has produced their own video highlighting the recent LED streetlight
upgrades in Bakersfield. The video can be viewed from their homepage and is
accompanied by an informational article attached here. Many thanks to all
involved on this beneficial project.
Our own David Lyman authored an encouraging article in this month’s issue of
the Kern Business Journal. The article highlights the impacts of visitor spending to
our area and outlines some exciting opportunities lined up in the future. The
article is attached here.
Golden Empire Transit District (GET), in collaboration with the Kern County Parks
Division and the Department of Aging and Adult Services, will be driving

VIDEO: City of Bakersfield SavingMoney, Energy with LED Streetlights
By Tracy Correa Lopez
BAKERSFIELD — In recent weeks, neighborhoodsthroughout Bakersfield have gotten a little brighter atnight. They feel a little safer too.
The reason: Nearly 13,000 streetlight fixtures are beingupgraded to LED lighting, or light-emitting diode lights.It’s part of a partnership between PG&E and the city ofBakersfield.
Mayor Karen Goh said the project moved from conceptto reality in just a few short months and has city wide,taxpayer benefits.
“The partnershipenhances safety for allusers of the city’s streets,sidewalks and bikelanes,” said Goh.
“This project is awonderful example ofone of the many waysthe city of Bakersfieldand PG&E frequentlywork together to improvethe community.”f

Installation of LED streetlights in
Bakersfield has been taking place
over the last few months. (Photos

Not only do the new LED
streetlights last longer, they cast a
wider and brighter light.
Kristen Burke was part ofthe PG&E team involvedin the project.
“My goal really is tomake sure thatcustomers are takingadvantage of the programs that we have and theincentives that we have available so they can go aheadand save energy and put more money back into thecity,” said Burke.
Seven other PG&E employees helped pull the projecttogether: Anita Maxey (local customer experience);Kristen Doud (public affairs); Peter Thomas and CesarBarragan (customer energy solutions); Brent Pateraand Kevin Hamilton (new revenue development); andJonathan Hall (electric asset strategy).
The upgrades are funded with a no-interest loan offeredby PG&E to municipal customers who invest in energyefficiency projects. And on-bill financing makes thecity’s costs easy to manage because they can pay it offover time.
“This is one of the largest, no-interest, on-bill financingloans that PG&E has ever done,” said Burke.
“This project is the perfect example of our partnershipswith our local communities to save energy and money,”she added.
PG&E has worked with other communities on similarupgrades.
The LED streetlights notonly have a whiter,crisper light, but theyilluminate a larger area.And they last four timeslonger than a traditionallightbulb.
“And what that means forus, is that our crews aregoing to be out in thefield less replacingburned out streetlights…and then they can go outand deal with othercritical projectsthroughout the city,” saidChris Huot, assistant citymanager.
But the monetary savings is perhaps the biggest benefitfor the city of Bakersfield.
“This project will save the city approximately $700,000a year. Those are general fund dollars — that’s thesame type of funds that pay for police and fire andpublic safety services,” said Huot.
And that’s a benefit everyone can support.
