HomeMy WebLinkAbout11/27/2019AT OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER November 27, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information City Offices will be CLOSED Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Curbside trash and recycling services will be delayed one day. Notable Items  The City continues to work to address quality of life concerns raised by residents and businesses in town through the use of Public Safety & Vital Services money (Measure N). One way the City is doing that is by hiring Trans-West Security to perform seven-day a week security patrols, offering additional visible presence in Downtown Bakersfield and Old Town Kern. The patrols are directed to “hot spots” by the Bakersfield Police Department thanks to crime and report tracking systems. Staff recently went on a ride along with one of the patrols and spoke with business owners who have seen the difference this pilot program is already making. You can see video from that ride along and interviews here: http://bit.ly/2DgxGnf  The 37th Annual Bakersfield Christmas Parade is set for Thursday, December 5. It is expected to start at 6 p.m., with road closures along the route going into effect by 4:30 p.m. Roads should be back open by 9 p.m. General Information November 27, 2019 Page 2  The City’s annual Holiday Grease Collection event returns next week for 2019. Starting Monday, December 2, residents are asked to bring any used cooking oil and grease to one of two drop-off locations for proper disposal. Pouring the oil and/or grease down home drains can result in clogged pipes, causing backups. This free event provides a place to dispose of the oil and grease in a safe and environmentally-friendly way. The event ends Friday, January 10.  The Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative is looking for 500 volunteers to help conduct the 2020 Point-in-Time Homeless Count in January. The count is an important part of the City and region being able to respond to and address the growing issue of homelessness. The City is offering a paid time-off program to encourage and allow City employees to participate in the count during their normal work schedule.  Several City dog parks are closed due to this week’s rain storms. University Park, Kroll Park, Centennial Park and Wilson Park have been closed through the weekend as there is more rain in the forecast. The ball fields at Patriots Park and the bike path underpass at San Miguel Grove (Manor Street) have also been closed. You can keep up with the closures and re-openings on the City’s Facebook page.  Looking for information on 2019 Bakersfield holiday events?

Traffic Advisories  Stine Road intersection closure at Stockdale Highway On December 2, the contractor for the Centennial Corridor project plans to close General Information November 27, 2019 Page 3 the south side of Stockdale Highway/Stine Road intersection. This will prevent traffic from entering and exiting South Stine Road at Stockdale Highway. Stine Road will be open on the north side of Stockdale Highway and no impacts are anticipated for traffic traveling east or west on Stockdale Highway at this time.
