Staff Presentation – Teen Government Day Ms. Carrier presented on the annual Teen Government Day that took place the week prior. The ordinance that created the City Youth Commission says the commission should have a role in Teen Government Day. Commissioner Carter recommends the quotes page, which can include accomplishments during their tenure as a commissioner. This project will be included for the November 2018 Teen Government Day. B. Staff Presentation – Commission Recruitment Outreach Ms. Carrier presented on recruitment efforts for the two vacant regular commissioner positions and five vacant alternate positions. Commissioner Carter asked to confirm that outreach will be done to High School Counselors through direct phone calls. Commissioner Honaker inquired as to commissioner involvement in recruitment and Chair Garcia suggested presence at a promotional table during school lunches. Staff can inquire about tabling with high schools. C. Roundtable Commissioner Paterno recommended an alternate form of communication for commissioners than e-mail. Suggestions included google classroom or text messaging, as students may not check their e- mails often, but always have their phones. Commissioner Honaker would like the commission to reschedule their retreat. Commissioner Garcia asked if there was an application deadline. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Commissioner Honaker suggested coming up with a date while present. Ms. Carrier suggested a retreat before a future scheduled meeting. Commissioner Honaker asked if potential applicants can come to the retreat. They can, as commission meetings are open. Commissioner Carter pointed out that with school schedules, it may be difficult to have a retreat before a regularly scheduled meeting. Chair Garcia suggested voting on the January 6th, 5pm date at Firehouse during the December meeting. 5. COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Paterno requested that electing a Vice Chair be on the December meeting agenda. Ms. Carrier reminded of past speakers that were not able to present from Keep Bakersfield Beautiful and from Improvement District 4 and that they are open to future presentations and engagement.

Takes staff away from regular duties D. Park user experience is diminished E. Happens everywhere; no area is immune from vandalism •Originally installed in 1977.•Public playground design, manufacture, installation and repair are highly regulated by ASTM ( American Society for Testing and Materials) and CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission)•Five of six sections have been replaced over time. •Most common vandalism is caused by burning a hole in the plastic or striking it with a hammer.•This appears to have been stomped on by one or more adults until it failed. Quailwood Park Tube Slide •Replacement sections for current (old) slide no longer available.•New slide is custom design, manufacture and installation.•Cost for new slide $5,800.•Other Labor, Equipment and Material cost +- $3000•Cost may increase due to new slide footings being placed in existing ADA surfacing. Quailwood Park Tube Slide Timeline •Slide reported damaged in early September 2017.•The manufacturer was sent photos of the damage the day after it was reported.•Within a week the manufacturer contacted the city with information that a replacement part was not available.•Design and fitment of a new custom slide was completed in early October 2017.•Manufacturing of the new slide was completed in Late November 2017.•The slide is due for delivery to city in early December 2017.•Installation of new slide is scheduled to be complete by end of December 2017.Unfortunately, during the replacement process of the “Tube Slide” another slide at Quailwood Park called a “Twist and Shout” received similar damage. 1/31/2018 2 Pin Oak Park total replacement cost $3,880.

Porcelain vs Stainless Polo Grounds Rail Fence •Fence is located in the Polo Grounds Community of northwest Bakersfield.•Posts and Rails are made of concrete.•The design is patented and currently only available from a single source.•The installation is unique with no mechanical connection between posts and rails. •Posts and Rails cost about $100 each but they are so heavy, shipping costs double the price. •Most damage occurs near schools or bus stops. Polo Grounds Rail Fence •Because posts are set in the sidewalk an area around the damaged post must be saw cut out, large enough to remove the footing when replaced. •If the posts were not precisely placed when originally installed rails easily fall out. The replacement process is labor intensive: 1 Requires saw cutting around the damaged post. 2. Post and footing are so heavy they require removal with a backhoe. 3. New post must be precisely set, backfilled with a concrete footing and must dry overnight. 4. Next day 4-5 lengths of rail must be “backed off” so one new can be installed. 5. Finally, the saw cut area of sidewalk is replaced and finished. An experienced two person crew can only complete three sections in an eight hour shift. We need your help in educating other students that vandalism to public property hurts everyone in the community. EVERYONE!! Littering, graffiti and theft are related issues effecting parks. Some ideas that you can do to help: create a video to be posted on city’s webpage use social media to educate your peers present your campaign at a City Council meeting in May, 2018 All meetings will be held at City Hall South, Council Chambers Adopted:DRAFT Youth Commission Meetings City Council Meetings 4:00 p.m.3:30 Closed Session, 5:15 p.m. Public Session Budget Hearing 06/06, Budget Adoption 06/20 Holidays - City Hall Closed S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S123456123123 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 28 29 30 31 25 26 27 28 29 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S12345671234512 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 29 30 27 28 29 30 31 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S123456712341 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 29 30 31 26 27 28 29 30 31 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S S M T W TH F S1234561231 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 28 29 30 31 25 26 27 28 29 30 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Youth Commission Calendar January 2018 Through December 2018 JANUARY FEBRUARY OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER DRAFT
