OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
July 16, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
This week Bakersfield Fire Department deployed firefighters to respond to the River Fire in
Mariposa County (top right). One
of 212 engines assigned to the
River Fire, Bakersfield Fire’s OES 412
(bottom right) was deployed on
July 11 and is tasked with protecting homes in the area. As
of July 14, the fire had burned 9,500 acres and was 28%
contained. Firefighters continue to aggressively attack the fire
even as dangerous heat persists. Low humidity, tree torching, wind-
driven runs and frequent spot fires continue to challenge firefighters
involved in containing the River Fire. Bakersfield firefighters can be
expected to be committed to this incident for as many as two
weeks.
Crews from the Recreation &
Parks Department are completing
some repairs at the east lake at The Park at River Walk this week,
requiring them to lower the water

level there. The lake will be returned to its normal level once the repairs are
completed, using canal water that was released further downstream and rediverted back, resulting in no net loss of water. It’s expected to take two weeks before repairs
are completed.
The City continues to grow. Development Services reports that we are currently out-pacing last year’s single-family home building permits issued to-date, and in June,
the City issued 110 such permits. Compared to the same point in 2020, there have
been 32 more permits issued so far in 2021: 614 through June (year-to-date)
compared to 582 last year. Despite the pandemic, single-family home building didn’t
slow down, with more new single-family home permits issued last year (1,450) than in
any of the previous five years.
The City invites the public to an in-person Open House on July 22nd at MLK Community
Center to learn more about the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) program
which funds development and infrastructure programs to accomplish environmental,
health, and economic benefits in the most disadvantaged communities.
The City’s Solid Waste Division hosted two pop-up large trash item drop-off events on
Saturday, July 10 at Planz Park and Riverlakes Ranch Community Center. Between the
two locations, 183 vehicles came through and the City collected almost 25,000
pounds of trash items:
• The Planz Park location received almost 16,000 pounds of trash, another
660 pounds of recycling materials, and 12 mattresses;
• The Riverlakes Ranch Community Center location received 13,120
pounds of trash, 760 pounds of recycling and 17 mattresses.
These events funded by the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure as part of Bakersfield’s Clean City Initiative.
