TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Update on City-County Coordination
Myths are interesting.
There are rumors floating about that the City and County are not cooperating on the
homeless issue. In fact, the City is actively collaborating with Kern County on multiple fronts to address this regional issue.
Some truths follow:
Homeless Collaborative. The County Administration Office (CAO) and City Manager’s
Office (CMO) jointly recognized the need for City and County participation in the
Collaborative, as well as the need for funding to get the best possible Executive
Director and four additional staff. Over the summer, joint meetings were held with key
service providers and we worked with the County to form the new Bakersfield-Kern
Regional Homeless Collaborative (BKRHC), with an Executive Board staffed by the
CMO, the CAO and leaders of our local service provider organizations. The Board
has met four times and brings the key providers involved in homelessness together for
regular discussions with the City and County. To date, they have been productive
discussions. There is an active recruitment for an Executive Director, the bank
account, insurance, logo and related issues have already been put in place.
Community Prosecution Program. In November, the City funded 2 Prosecutors for the
County District Attorney’s Office to work on the new Community Prosecution Program.
The purpose of this program is to support prosecution of quality of life crimes which are impacting our community.

Kern County Low Barrier Facility. Since Spring this year, City staff has been meeting
with the County to coordinate and support their new facility on Golden State. As the
County has indicated, this project will be a temporary low barrier facility that allows
the homeless to walk-up to receive services. On October 29, 2019, I personally endorsed and thanked the Kern County Board of Supervisors for the project at special
board meeting held that day.
On November 9, 2019, the County indicated there may be an opportunity to add an additional 100-150 beds at their site if the City were to partner on the effort. During a
subsequent site visit, County staff indicated they may be able to add a 2nd dormitory structure on the east end of the site. City staff requested cost and operational
information related to this potential expansion and awaits receipt of those details.
On November 15, 2019, the County CAO sent an email requesting an annual contribution towards the operational costs of the initial 150-bed facility, and indicated
that the additional 100 beds might be added at some time in the future.
On December 5, 2019 I responded to the County and noted that the City would support the Golden State facility in a number of ways; including: (1) offering the use
of Weill Park for day use, (2) upgrading street lighting in the area, (3) installing street
improvements to M Street adjacent to the facility, (4) providing increased police
services in the vicinity of the facility, and (5) through continuation of the new
Downtown Cleanup and Private Security programs to support improved quality of life
in the Downtown area. I also stated “we are happy to discuss any other ideas you
may have about how the city can assist you.” I also noted that the City Staff is
reluctant to fund temporary infrastructure. The current site is temporary as it sits on the
High-Speed Rail adopted routing path.
We received a brief response stating that the County would be proceeding to finish
construction of their facility on Golden State. Copies of the email exchanges are
attached.
As directed by the City Council on November 6 and November 20, Staff continues to
work on multiple methods to bring new Emergency Beds online. We have learned that
there are a variety of sub-populations among the homeless, with specific service
needs for each group. As such, the City has supported a number of efforts to bring
more emergency beds online: 40 New Beds at the Mission: In 2018, City staff reached out to the Mission to ask if they could add additional beds to their facility, given that the State HEAP program would
provide special one-time funding for Shelter expansions. Staff worked with the Mission to create a plan for expansion, and on January 23, 2019, brought an Agreement to
the City Council to provide $1.1 million to the Mission to add 40 beds to their facility. Since that time, City staff has been working closely with the Mission to get their
Conditional Use Permit processed. In September, Staff helped set up and attend community meetings for the project, and the CUP was unanimously approved on
October 8. We are excited that the Mission is holding a “Project Reveal” on Friday,

December 13 to celebrate the beginning of construction of this important project.
This project will bring 40 additional beds for homeless single-men within our
community. 40 New Beds at the Bakersfield Homeless Center (BHC): At the November 7, 2018, City Council meeting, Staff presented the attached memo to the City Council identifying
$1.1 million to add 40 beds to the BHC. Staff has been working with the BHC over the last year to complete that work, which entails movement of the Jobs Training and
Rapid Rehousing Programs at the existing campus to a new location on Union Avenue, and then renovating the vacant space to accommodate 40 new dorm beds
and accompanying restroom/shower facilities. Staff is in communication with the BHC on a nearly daily basis to discuss this project and other programs and partnerships
between the City and the BHC.
This project will bring 40 additional beds for homeless women within our community. New Low Barrier Emergency Shelter: As directed by the City Council on November 6, 2018, Staff secured an agreement with the owner of the second potential site for the
new Emergency Shelter and scheduled community meetings in each of the two
neighborhoods. The first meeting was held on December 10 with approximately 100
people in attendance and the second meeting will be held on December 16. Staff
also established a Project Website with more informational materials for the public
(https://bakersfieldcity.us/shelter) and established an email for the public to submit
comments (CommunityOutreach@bakersfieldcity.us).
Staff also asked the commercial realtor to continue to monitor listings for other M-2
properties that come on the market and has had conversations with the BHC about
the addition of more beds beyond the 40 already funded. This information will be
presented to Council on January 22, 2020.
This project is intended
to bring additional beds
for homeless individuals
with pets, partners and
possessions within our
community.
Notable Items
The first of two community outreach meetings (right) about
the proposed homeless
shelter locations was
held on Tuesday, December 10 at the MLK
Community Initiative
General Information
December 13, 2019
Page 4
Meeting at Jerusalem Mission Church. City Staff from various departments including
the City Manager’s Office, Public Works, Development Services, Recreation & Parks,
and the Bakersfield Police Department attended the meeting. Assistant City Manager
Jacqui Kitchen gave a presentation to residents in attendance, explaining the shelter proposals for both possible locations: 1900 East Brundage Lane and 601 Brown Street.
Those in attendance were then allowed to talk to Staff about their concerns and ask questions about the proposals. They also had the option to fill out a comment card if
they wished. Those comment cards will be provided to the City Council.
A second meeting is set for 6 p.m. Monday, December 16 at the MLK Community Center (1000 S. Owens Street). The public is of course invited to attend. The community
is also welcome to submit comments via CommunityOutreach@bakersfieldcity.us.
As mentioned earlier, the City has contributed $1.1 million in Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) funds to The Mission at Kern County’s 40-bed expansion project.
On Friday, December 13, The Mission held a groundbreaking (below) for the project, which when completed, will provide the facility with 324 total beds. The contribution
is part of the City’s three-point plan to address homelessness in Bakersfield: 1. Acknowledge the crisis (November 2018);
2. Support and strengthen existing providers;
3. Implement Public Safety & Vital Services Measure (Measure N) funds for new
programs.
Last week, we conveyed that Public Safety & Vital Services Measure (Measure N) revenues exceeded projections for the most recent quarter. With this new information, along with previous quarterly data, staff has revised PSVS Measure
revenue projections for the fiscal year. With these revised projections, staff pleased to be able to recommend several mid-year appropriations from PSVS Measure
revenue that will fund programs, services and projects that correlate to the priorities
of the Measure. Most of these proposals either accelerate activities that were

December 13, 2019
Page 5
planned in future phases of PSVS implementation or continue services such as the
private security contracts through the end of the fiscal year. Earlier in the week, the
Citizens Oversight Committee met to review these proposed mid-year allocations,
which included:
1. Accelerating implementation of the balance of Police Department body cameras;
2. Early acquisition of certain Fire Department equipment for Phase II of the Measure Implementation Plan;
3. Funding for homeless-related services through the end of the fiscal year; 4. Funding for the e-permitting project within the Development Services
Department; 5. Funding for reserves pursuant to the adopted City Council reserve plan.
Upon review of each item, a majority of the Committee recommended the proposals.
More information on each proposal is included in the enclosed staff report to the Committee. These items will be brought to the Council in the coming weeks for review
and approval.
The Recreation & Parks
Department’s $1.5 million tree and shrub planting project continues to
make progress (right). Since starting
in October, contractors have
planted more than 2,220 trees in
southwest and northwest
Bakersfield and more than 23,000
shrubs and plants around the City.
The project is completely funded by
the Public Safety & Vital Services
Measure (Measure N). By the end of
May 2020, contractors are
expected to have planted
32,000 plants and 3,500 trees
around Bakersfield. One of the
tenets of the PSVS Measure is
improving quality of life for residents, something this project
will accomplish with the improved aesthetics in City
parks, neighborhoods and streetscapes.
The Bakersfield Animal Care Center has been awarded a
$10,000 grant from the ASPCA
for upgrades to the lighting in
General Information
December 13, 2019
Page 6
kennels A, B and C. The grant was made possible due to the center’s long-standing
Rescue Relocation partnership with the ASPCA. The lighting will better “highlight” the
animals in the center’s care in hopes of getting them adopted faster, thereby saving
more lives. The funds have already been received and may only be used for lighting purposes. The City’s General Services Department has already determined that this
project is feasible with the allocated funds.
The center was previously awarded a grant that fully paid for a van for transporting and relocating animals, including cats which were treated through the center’s
Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program.
Visit Bakersfield has unveiled new signage on its building at 515 Truxtun Avenue (below). This new signage makes the visitor center more visible to those at the nearby
Amtrak station, as well as to people passing by on the street. In addition to larger, darker letters on a light gold-colored band, both sides of the building sport a large
blue decal with an “i,” the international symbol for “information,” along with Visit Bakersfield’s web address. Visitors have lately commented on how easy it was to find
the visitor’s center, something rarely heard before the new signage was installed.
Traffic Advisories
Nighttime closures for Westside Parkway/Truxtun Avenue on-ramp

Jacqui,
Golden State is under construction now. Foundation work is underway. We are finalizing the
various aspects of operations. We plan to have the facility open in January.
The County will pay for all of the up front capital costs. Once up and running, an annual
contribution from the City towards the operational costs would be helpful. I believe this
contribution from you can come directly from grant money you receive from the State. That,
along with an overall agreement/understanding that we are directing all of our services,
collectively, toward the goal of ensuring that the facility is working to transition people from
the streets to the facility and in to services and ultimately more permanent shelter...public
safety, street teams, etc.
We'll have initial capacity for up to 150 beds. Once we are operating and optimizing those
operations and management of the facility, if there is the need to expand bed capacity we can,
50 at a time. The site can accommodate an additional 100 beds, for a total of 250. However,
that should be a decision based on the efficacy of our operations and needs subsequent to
getting it up and running. Only then do we make a decision to expand.
Meanwhile, you work to ensure the expansion of the 80 additional beds at The Mission and
Homeless Center...getting that done. I'm told that both Carlos and Louis have capacity for even
more beds at their facilities, if need be. You continue to work to ensure the success of your
efforts in and around the downtown area with street teams, etc.
This collectively gives us an additional 330+ shelter beds over the next year. Meanwhile, the
Homeless Center continues with their plans to do an expansion, which they've been
contemplating for some time, for even more space.
Separately, but concurrently, we work to finalize in detail a plan to address the drug and
property related crime issues with our DA and law enforcement agencies, which will result in
more arrests and more beds being used in our jail. This plan will require a contribution from
both of us.
A decision by you to spend millions purchasing a large property for a shelter is put on hold,
pending the efficacy of all of those things listed above, along with the need. It may be that we'll
need something like that, but we also may find that we don't.
While there are those that were in the meeting we had Tuesday that would like to see you
move this direction, I understand that you have others you answer to that may have a different
opinion. I'll leave working that all out to you. However, what I've listed here is a game plan for
you to consider, and hopefully champion.
I'll continue to wait to hear from you on this.
The Very Best,
Ryan J. Alsop

Ryan,
Sorry to be slow responding to your 11/15 email but we have been busy here. Please review what is below
and we will then continue discussions on several homelessness related topics.
Alan Tandy
Thank you for your email of November 15, 2019 concerning several homelessness related issues.
Members of the City Council also asked that the City work with you as we believe we have been. Your
email addresses several issues; including the Community Prosecution Program with the DA, the City’s
addition of 80 new beds at the Mission and BHC, and the County’s Emergency Shelter.
Regarding the DA program, the City of Bakersfield is interested in the reopening of 100 jail cells for drug
use related crimes of this type but we have never seen a budget. The first talk was $1.6 million a year then
the talk grew to $4 million and as high as $5.0-$7.0 million. The City would like to see a budget. The City
also believes this is a perfect use for AB109 funds.
The City has entered into a contract with the District Attorney to pay $300,000 for two Deputy District
Attorneys to improve prosecution for the types of crimes that have been disruptive to the community
such as break-ins, theft, and other drug use related crimes.
Regarding the 80 new Emergency Shelter beds, the City is continuing to work with the Mission and the
Bakersfield Homeless Center to add 40 beds at each facility, for a total of 80 new emergency beds.
Regarding the County’s 150-bed Emergency Shelter, the City publicly endorsed the County’s effort to take
action on the homelessness issue with your Shelter proposal.
In addition to this support, we also anticipate having a financial and support role in the following areas:
1. Police costs will clearly increase. On November 1st, our Police Department was made aware that
you intend to have a Sheriff located within the facility from 3pm – 3am; however, we are awaiting
your follow-up visit to them for discussion of the internal services that will be needed outside of
those hours, and within the surrounding neighborhood outside of the facility.
2. The quality of life services that the City is now providing downtown will cost more when 150
homeless are added to the downtown area. These include downtown cleanups, feces and urine
removal and private security to supplement the Police Department.
3. To supplement the day facilities on your site, the City offers Weil Park for day use and we can
commit, with Council approval, to cleanup and the provision of restrooms. This will allow
additional space for clients to go during the day.
4. The City will review and with Council action, upgrade street lights outside of the complex on the
logical routes of entry and exit.
5. The City will improve M Street surface in the vicinity of the complex.
We are happy to discuss any other ideas you may have about how the City can assist you. My Staff also
accepted your invitation to visit the site on November 19th regarding the potential addition of 100 more
beds, for a total of 250. At that visit, there was discussion about the possible future addition of beds in
the unused warehouse area of the site. City staff requested additional information related to the details
and cost of this addition and await receipt. Since the County is building on the High Speed Rail alignment
and since you have acknowledge that the shelter is temporary we are reluctant to put in more temporary
infrastructure.
City outreach on the Public Safety and Vital Services measure showed an overwhelming community
concern with homelessness and the problems surrounding that including crime and disruption to business
and residential property. To that end we have been analyzing shelter sites and under City Council
direction, we will continue to do that analysis until the City Council reaches a decision on January 22nd or
thereafter.
The overwhelming impact of forty community meetings in regard to measure N, the Oversight Committee
meetings, sessions with GRC and those held in conjunction with Congressman McCarthy and Vice Fong as
well as daily input from citizens is that Bakersfield needs to build a long term shelter. The money to do
that has been budgeted and is available now. More shelter space is the only way to get the homeless off
the streets. Again, we are happy to discuss these and alternative ideas.
Alan Tandy

Alan,
Thanks. We’ll be proceeding to finish construction of our facility on Golden State to
immediately address the downtown Bakersfield homeless emergency.

Item 13b – Source of Homeless Housing Funds
Councilmember Rivera requested additional details related to available funds for a 40-person shelter facility at the
Bakersfield Homeless Center
Item 13b at the November 7, 2018 City Council included a presentation related to a variety of funding sources
and potential projects to address homelessness. One source included approximately $1.1 million in available
funds for a 40-person shelter facility at the Bakersfield Homeless Center.
The sources of those funds are as follows:
Fund Amount
Available
Funding
Source
Notes
1 $562,000 CDBG FY 14/15 CDBG Allocation (Unspent), plus project savings. These funds do not
have an expiration date, but will accumulate to City’s entitlement maximum.
2 $325,887 NSP NSP Program has ended but generates occasional income. These funds will be
receipted into CDBG and required to comply with the CDBG program rules.
3 $250,000 Sales Sale Proceeds from the Creekview Villas Condominiums.
As detailed in the attached exhibits, the CDBG funds are generally the result of incremental savings from past
projects and have accumulated due to a recent change in the federal accounting system. In the past, the savings were
applied to the next year’s projects and carried forward. However, in 2015 HUD switched from this First-In-First-Out
(FIFO) accounting practice to Grant-Based Accounting. The transition between accounting methods in the federal
system (IDIS) and the City’s internal system created an accumulation of the funds noted above.

DATE: July 26, 2018
TO: Jacquelyn Kitchen, Development Services Director
FROM: Misty Eaton, Business Manager
SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) FUNDS AVAILABLE TO COMMIT
After some research and calculations I have come to the conclusion that Economic Development has approximately
$562,000.00 uncommitted Community Development Block Grant funds. These funds are available to commit to an
allowable HUD project.
Background
The Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) has historically operated on a first-in-first-out basis
(FIFO). Under FIFO, funds were disbursed against the oldest grants with funds available. This system left prior year
uncommitted funds, project savings and program income available to fund current year projects. This amount built significantly over many years.
In 2015 HUD made a switch to Grant Based Accounting. Under grant based accounting, funding/commitments and
disbursements are made against specific user-defined grant years. This accounting practice was implemented to strengthen
the linkage between an annual grant allocation and the actual expenditures of those funds, streamlining year end
reconciliation between IDIS and local financial systems. Beginning in FY 2015 IDIS started to specifically tie activity
funding/commitments to activity draws and to a specific grant or grants.
“Pre-2015” amount available for funding aggregates the FY 2014 grant and prior year grants. Pre-2015 source will continue
to fund and draw on a FIFO basis.
The switch between accounting methods in IDIS and how the department’s internal account tracking was done has created
a surplus of funds that haven’t been committed to projects or drawn over the past three years.
Pre- 2015 Funds Breakdown
The FY 2014-2015 Entitlement was 3,201,247.00 with an estimated $7,000 of program income. $3,208,247 was applied to
projects per the Action Plan.

FROM: Misty Eaton, Business Manager
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) FUNDS AVAILABLE TO COMMIT
Background
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program was established under the Federal Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of
2008 due to the number of home foreclosures, number of homes financed by a subprime mortgage related loan, and
number of homes in default or delinquent. The funds are treated as CDBG Funds under Title I. They were considered a
“Special Allocation” of 2008 CDBG Funds.
The City received $8,982,836 (effective 2009) from the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The City had 18 months
to legally obligate the funds and all funds were supposed to be expended within five years (2014). The City used the NSP funds as outlined in the substantial amendment to the City’s FY 08-09 Action Plan/ConPlan, and later amended.
$2,095,784.37 Down Payment Assistance ($50,000 for homebuyers (up to 120% of the AMI) purchasing REOs in NSP areas.
$ 40,000.00 Homebuyer Counseling
$1,486,966.63 Acquisition of REO units (HACK)
$ 264,000.00 Rehab of REO Unites purchased by HACK
$4,303,077.00 Acquisition and Rehabilitation of a Multi-Family complex (HACK up to 120% AMI)
$ 585,000.00 Acquisition and Rehabilitation of a Multi-Family complex (HACK up to 50% AMI)
$ 7,021.00 Establish Land Bank
$ 200,987.00 Admin $8,982,836
Over the past nine years, $325,887 has been collected as program income from proceeds of home sales in the down
payment assistance program.
HUD is making the CDBG transfer option available to NSP grantees an option to utilize funds. However use of the transfer
feature is solely at the discretion of the grantee. Once NSP funds are transferred into a CDBG program, they will always be
CDBG funds and subject to all CDBG requirements but no NSP requirements.
In this case, staff is recommending a transfer of the NSP generated program income to the Community Development Block
Grant Program (CDBG) to allow those funds to be used in the rehabilitation of the Bakersfield Homeless Center Shelter.
Staff will take the following steps to complete this transfer:
-Receipt program income on-hand into DRGR. Program income which has not been receipted into DRGR will need to
receipted into the system in order to reconcile the program income with information reported in our quarterly
performance reports (QPR’s). Additionally, staff will use this time to reconcile the program income receipted into
DRGR to ensure that our internal tracking system is consistent with DRGR.
-Request transfer form from the HUD Field Office. Staff will submit a request to our HUD Field Office detailing the
information in the transfer request. HUD must approve all program income transfers from NSP to CDBG prior to
their occurrence.
EXHIBIT 2
City of Bakersfield ● 1715 Chester Avenue ● Bakersfield, California ● 93301
- Receipt the Program Income into Integrated Disbursement Information System (IDIS). Once the HUD Field Office
approves the transfer, staff will proceed with receipting the program income into IDIS, consistent with the
standards practice for receipting CDBG program income into the system.
- Conduct Substantial Action Plan Amendment: Once the program income is receipted into IDIS, A Substantial Action
Plan Amendment will be required for the corresponding CDBG Action Plans to create a project from the receipted
program income’s use. Note, the corresponding Action Plan which will need to be amended depends upon the
timing in which the program income is receipted into the system.

NOTICE OF COMMUNITY MEETING – NEW HOMELESS SHELTER
OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT: The City of Bakersfield invites the public to provide comments and learn more
about the development of a new Homeless Shelter to serve the needs of the local homeless population in
Bakersfield. The public is encouraged to comment by attending a second community meeting – listed below – or
by sending an email to CommunityOutreach@bakersfieldcity.us
MEETING TIME AND LOCATION: This is the second of two community outreach meetings and will be held at 6
p.m., Monday, December 16, 2019 at MLK Community Center, 1000 South Owens Street, Bakersfield, CA.
BACKGROUND: According to the 2019 Point-in-Time count, there are more than 1,150 homeless individuals in
Bakersfield. 643 are unsheltered, which is an increase of 108% from 2018. There are currently fewer than 400
emergency beds in Bakersfield. This lack of available beds has led in part to increased calls for service to public
agencies and impacts to quality of life for residents. The City is working to address concerns raised by local citizens
through a number of new programs, including the construction of a new “Low-Barrier Homeless Shelter” which
allows residents to have partners, pets and possessions. Earlier this year, the City Council directed Staff to evaluate
potential locations that would be suitable for a shelter. Therefore, Staff visited and studied existing facilities in
Bakersfield and other Cities to learn more about “Best Practices” for operating and locating a shelter. After
searching available properties, Staff has identified two potential locations for the shelter:
Site 1 – 1900 E. Brundage Lane (Calcot Ltd.): a 7.24-acre office complex with 34,832 sq-ft of office space
and 34,975 sq-ft of warehouse space; able to accommodate 150 beds for the first 3 years with potential
for additional beds in the future; includes existing office space to allow service providers to be co-located
on-site; includes space for a future Bakersfield Police Department substation; includes adjacent 10-acres
of vacant land which can be redeveloped in the future for economic growth.
Site 2 – 601 Brown Street: a 1.89-acre property with 9,500 sq-ft of office space and 22,800 sq-ft of
warehouse space; able to accommodate 150 beds for the first 3 years with potential to add beds in the
future; office trailers or warehouse renovation would be needed to allow service providers to be on-site;
a dining tent and other portable amenities would need to be installed.
The Facility would be professionally run in accordance with a Good Neighbor Policy to ensure the Facility is safe,
clean and has minimal impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. The Facility would host service-providers on-site
to ensure that homeless residents are connected with resources to help transition to permanent housing.

AVISO DE REUNIÓN COMUNITARIA – NUEVO REFUGIO PARA PERSONAS SIN HOGAR
OPORTUNIDAD DE COMENTAR: La Ciudad de Bakersfield invita al público a proporcionar comentarios y aprender más
sobre el desarrollo de un nuevo refugio para personas sin hogar para satisfacer las necesidades de la población local de
personas sin hogar en Bakersfield. Se alienta al público a comentar y asistir a la segunda reunión comunitaria, los detalles
siguen a continuación, o enviando un correo electrónico a CommunityOutreach@bakersfieldcity.us
HORA DE LA REUNIÓN Y LUGAR: Esta es la segunda de dos reuniones de alcance comunitario y se llevará a cabo a las 6
p.m., el lunes 16 de Diciembre de 2019 en el MLK Community Center, 1000 South Owens Street, Bakersfield, CA.
ANTECEDENTES: Según el recuento de puntos en el tiempo de 2019, hay más de 1,150 personas sin hogar en Bakersfield.
643 no tienen refugio, lo que representa un aumento de 108% desde 2018. Actualmente hay menos de 400 camas de
emergencia en Bakersfield. Esta falta de camas disponibles ha provocado en parte un aumento de llamadas de servicio a
las agencias públicas y a impactado la calidad de vida de los residentes. La Ciudad está trabajando para abordar las
inquietudes planteadas por los ciudadanos locales a través de una serie de nuevos programas, incluida la construcción de
un nuevo "Refugio para personas sin hogar de baja barrera" que permite a los residentes tener socios, mascotas y
posesiones. A principios de este año, el Concejo Municipal ordenó al personal que evaluara las ubicaciones potenciales
que serían adecuadas para un refugio. Por lo tanto, el personal visitó y estudió las instalaciones existentes en Bakersfield
y otras ciudades para obtener más información sobre las "Mejores Prácticas" para operar y ubicar un refugio. Después de
buscar propiedades disponibles, el personal ha identificado dos ubicaciones potenciales para el refugio:
Sitio 1 - 1900 E. Brundage Lane (Calcot Ltd.): Un complejo de oficinas de 7.24 acres con 34,832 pies cuadrados de espacio
de oficina y 34,975 pies cuadrados de espacio de almacén; capaz de acomodar 150 camas durante los primeros 3 años con
potencial para camas adicionales en el futuro; incluye espacio de oficina existente para permitir que los proveedores de
servicios se ubiquen en el sitio; incluye espacio para una futura subestación del Departamento de Policía de Bakersfield;
incluye 10 acres adyacentes de tierra vacante que se pueden reconstruir en el futuro para el crecimiento económico.
Sitio 2 - 601 Brown Street: Una propiedad de 1.89 acres con 9,500 pies cuadrados de espacio de oficina y 22,800 pies
cuadrados de espacio de almacén; capaz de acomodar 150 camas durante los primeros 3 años con potencial para agregar
camas en el futuro; se necesitarían tráilas de oficina o renovación de bodegas para permitir que los proveedores de
servicios estén en el sitio; se necesitaría instalar una carpa de comedor y otras comodidades portátiles.
La Instalación se administraría profesionalmente de acuerdo con una Política de Buen Vecino para garantizar que la
Instalación sea segura, limpia y tenga un impacto mínimo en los vecindarios circundantes. La instalación alojaría a
proveedores de servicios en el sitio para garantizar que los residentes sin hogar estén conectados con recursos para ayudar
con la transición a una vivienda permanente.

Department of Recreation and Parks
Date: December 11, 2019 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: Dianne Hoover, Director of Recreation & Parks
Subject: 2019 November Monthly Report ADMINISTRATION November Summary Highlights:
November in the Recreation and Parks Department included the largest youth softball
tournament in the City of Bakersfield to date. This 51 team tournament used all
available fields in the city, and was held during the same weekend as the Bakersfield
Marathon! These types of activities bring people from all parts of California to our
wonderful city. On another note, the McMurtrey Aquatic Center closed earlier than
normal this year for extended maintenance. This year-round facility is getting a facelift
with new counters, floors, filters and deep cleaning.
Several walks and runs were held in November every weekend in popular parks and
along the Kern River Parkway with city staff involved in set ups and cleanups before, during and after these numerous events. Most of the events are sponsored by
nonprofits whose proceeds benefit the community.
The department also stepped up maintenance with mass trimming projects throughout the city’s streetscapes, power washed playgrounds and cleared overgrowth in the San
Miguel Grove area. The Rapid Response Team cleared trash from camps, repaired vandalism in park restrooms and installed gates and ballards where needed.
Check out the Recreation and Parks Department new Winter/Spring brochure online, or
pick up a copy at a nearby city facility. Upcoming events in December include Santa’s Workshop and Kwaanza at MLK Center and of course the popular Polar Bear Plunge on
January 1st, 2020.

year-round use of the McMurtrey Aquatic Center for the past fifteen
years is showing its wear on mechanics, locker rooms and outside
areas. Contractors completed warranty work on the locker room
floors, replaced counter tops, and began the process of retrofitting
sand filters in the pump room. The next phase of the extended shut
down will include: draining and cleaning of both pools, pool tile
repairs, annual deep cleaning of locker rooms and office, and waxing
