• Limit outdoor landscape and turf water usage to three days per
week and only after 6 p.m. and before 9 a.m.
o Odd number addresses water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and

o Even number addresses water on Wednesdays, Fridays

o No outdoor watering is permitted on Mondays

• Prohibit outdoor water usage during and 48 hours after a rain
event resulting in measurable precipitation.

Notable Items
I am pleased to announce that I have appointed John Frando as the new Chief of the Bakersfield Fire Department, effective immediately. Chief Frando has served 26 years

disciplines within the department. He has served as Deputy Chief since 2018.
Chief Frando succeeds Anthony Galagaza, whose retirement after more than 30 years with the department became effective on Friday, December 3.
A great crowd attended the annual Christmas Tree lighting at Centennial Plaza outside
Mechanics Bank on Saturday, November 27 (right). Mayor
Karen Goh was joined by not only City Councilmembers
Andrae Gonzales (Ward 2), Patty Gray (Ward 6) and
former Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan, but also by
Santa and Mrs. Claus! Lots of pictures were taken of families
with Santa (below), and music
filled the plaza before the
Bakersfield Condors’ annual
Teddy Bear Toss game inside
the arena.

The Annual Bakersfield Christmas Parade was also held this week, on Thursday,
December 2 (below). A crowd of hundreds lined the streets to watch Santa Claus, Mayor Karen Goh and the myriad other participants make their way through
Downtown.
This week the City’s Economic & Community Development Department launched a new webpage, providing resources about our Affordable Housing Strategy. Available
affordable housing is a key issue facing our community, and it is a major factor in our ability to address homelessness. This webpage, launched on December 2, provides
information for anyone interested in learning more about what the City is doing to create more affordable housing opportunities for our community.
The Affordable Housing Strategy is funded by a grant from the State of California and
is guided by City staff and consultants the City has partnered with to find appropriate
solutions, projects and programs.
In an effort to make everyone’s holiday season a little brighter, City employees
donated more than 7,200 pounds of canned and non-perishable food items in
November as part of our Annual Holiday Food Drive! That food was donated to the
Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK). And a special congratulations to the
Finance Department for earning this year’s “Giving Trophy” for donating the most at
33.32 pounds per employee (1,033 total)! Thank you to everyone who donated this
year!
The Bakersfield Animal Control Field Services will host its monthly low-cost pet vaccination clinic on Saturday, December 4, at Jastro Park (2900 Truxtun Avenue)
from 9 a.m. to noon. City residents can register their dogs and get a free microchip,
as well as several pet vaccines. Anyone who attends is asked to wear a mask and is
required to keep their pet on a leash. For more information about the clinics, please
visit www.bakersfieldcity.us/520/Clinics.

on Saturday, December 11 from 8 a.m. to noon. The events will be held at the parking
lots of Kaiser Permanente Sports Village (9001 Ashe Road) and at 4200 Panorama

General Information Dec. 3, 2021 Page 4
trash and recycling items. Since launching in January, these events have collected
more than 550,000 pounds of trash.

On Sunday, December 5, the Recreation
& Parks Department will be removing a pair of trees located along Truxtun Avenue
that are in severe decline, including the City’s “Liberty Tree” (right) near the Amtrak
Station. A mature Valley Oak will be planted in the Liberty Tree’s place, likely in
the early spring. The other tree that will be
removed is located on the east side of the
Visit Bakersfield building.

Bakersfield holiday events, Visit Bakersfield
can help with its 2021 Holiday Events listing.
There are lots of holiday events planned
around Bakersfield between now and the
end of December. The Holiday Events
listing shows each event’s date, location, and cost. Just head to VisitBakersfield.com

City staff will hold a virtual Redistricting and Communities of Interest workshop on
Wednesday, December 8 at 6 p.m. The link to join the online workshop will be
available on the City’s Ward Redistricting website: bakersfieldcity.us/819/Ward-
Redistricting.
A Community of Interest (COI) is a group of people in the same geographically
definable area who share common social and economic interests. We look forward
to receiving feedback on the City’s potential COIs.
The City’s redistricting website also includes an online and PDF version of the COI form
in both English and Spanish, a printable map template and the schedule for the remainder of the public hearings for the Redistricting process.
Comments and questions on the redistricting process can be sent at any time to
redistricting@bakersfieldcity.us.

Playground equipment upgrades at Stonecreek Park are nearly complete, with
much of the new modern equipment installed (right).
There are some final touches left to be made, including
the new play surface around the playground sets and
shade canopies. This $244,500 project is expected
to be completed this month. Funding was provided from
the Recreation & Parks
Department’s Park
Improvement Fund and was
approved by the City
Council last May.
The City’s annual Holiday Grease Collection event is
underway! From now until
Jan. 7, 2022, 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 and costly repairs. This free service provides a place to dispose of the oil and grease in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
The City Council is recruiting nine individuals to serve on the Bakersfield Public Safety & Vital Services Measure Citizens Oversight Committee.
The Committee acts in an advisory capacity to review the expenditure of revenues
generated by the tax imposed by Measure N. It also provides independent verification that the revenues collected pursuant to the measure are expended in
such a manner that is consistent with the priorities of the measure.
The term is for three years, which expires in February of 2025. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the City.
Applications are available at the City Clerk’s Office or on the City’s website. The
deadline to submit an application is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.

JConroy@bakersfieldcity.us WATER RESTRICTIONS MANDATED FOR CITY WATER SYSTEM CUSTOMERS
Mandatory reductions effective Dec. 14, 2021 until further notice
The City of Bakersfield’s Water Resources Department has issued mandatory water
restrictions for all City of Bakersfield Domestic Water System customers, effective Dec.
14, 2021, as the statewide drought conditions continue to worsen. These restrictions
are to remain in place until further notice.
The City’s Water Resources Department has worked closely with California Water
Service to monitor the conditions during the second year of the current drought. Both
water providers have entered Stage 2 of their respective drought mitigation plans,
implementing mandatory reductions in use of potable water for irrigation and
outdoor cleaning.
The restrictions the City of Bakersfield’s Water Resources Department is implementing:
• Prohibit the use of potable water for washing sidewalks, driveways,
buildings, structures, patios, parking lots, or other hard-surfaced areas;
• Require shut-off nozzles on hoses for vehicle washing with potable water;
• Limit outdoor landscape and turf water usage to three days per week
and only after 6 p.m. and before 9 a.m.
o Odd number addresses water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays
o Even number addresses water on Wednesdays, Fridays and
Sundays
o No outdoor watering is permitted on Mondays
o Highly recommend: Limit outdoor landscape and turf water
usage to two days per week (Odd: Tuesdays and Saturdays; Even:
Wednesday and Sunday); and
• Prohibit outdoor water usage during and 48 hours after a rain event
resulting in measurable precipitation.
These restrictions are for City of Bakersfield water system customers only and are
similar to those mandated for Cal Water customers. Customers should expect to
receive additional notification with their water bills from their respective water
provider outlining the restrictions. Customers should contact their water provider with
any additional questions about the restrictions.
Additional water conservation tips – as well as kits and rebate information – are
available on the City’s website.
Water conservation kits include:
• One (1) hose nozzle;
• One (1) kitchen faucet aerator (uses 1.5 gallons per minute);
• Two (2) bathroom faucet aerators (use 1.0 gpm);
• Two (2) high-efficiency showerheads (use 2.0 gpm);
• Toilet leak tablets.
The City of Bakersfield thanks the public for its understanding and cooperation with
these changes.

JConroy@bakersfieldcity.us JOHN FRANDO NAMED NEXT BAKERSFIELD FIRE CHIEF
Frando has served 26 years with the department, as Deputy Chief since 2018
Deputy Fire Chief John Frando has been selected by City Manager Christian Clegg
as the Chief of the Bakersfield Fire Department. This appointment is effective
immediately.
“I am very pleased to appoint John Frando as the City’s next Fire Chief,” Clegg said.
“Chief Frando’s experience with and breadth of knowledge about the department
as well as his community-oriented perspective will be invaluable in his new role. I am
certain that he will continue the tradition of incredible leadership for the Bakersfield
Fire Department.”
“I am humbled to have the opportunity to lead the Bakersfield Fire Department, an
organization of dedicated and professional dispatchers, investigators, firefighters
and support staff that provide critical emergency services to the citizens of
Bakersfield,” Chief Frando said. “We will continue to seek opportunities for grant
funding and to implement best practices and accreditation strategies while being
data driven and community-focused.
“I would like to thank City Manager Christian Clegg for the confidence and
responsibility he is bestowing upon me, as well as retiring Fire Chief Anthony
Galagaza for the opportunities he presented for my professional development.”
Chief Frando has been with the Bakersfield Fire Department for 26 years, joining the
department as a Firefighter in 1995 after serving as a volunteer in the department’s
Reserve Program starting in 1990.
Since then, Frando has gained experience in several divisions and specialty
assignments, including Suppression, Training, Hazardous Materials Response, Urban
Search and Rescue, and as the department’s Public Information Officer.
He was promoted to Deputy Fire Chief in 2018, overseeing the Emergency
Communications Center, Fire Prevention, Facility Maintenance, Fleet Management,
and Capital Project Planning.
Having earned a Master’s Degree in Administration and a Bachelor’s Degree in
Public Administration, both from California State University, Bakersfield, Chief Frando
also holds an Associate of Arts degree in Fire Technology and a Fire Certificate from
Bakersfield College.
He is an active member in the community with the Bakersfield Firefighters Relief
Association, Youth Leadership Bakersfield, and the ‘RunnerBridge mentoring
program. Frando also participates in the Kern County Operational Area Advisory
Committee, the Domestic Preparedness Committee, and is an Area Director for the
California Fire Chiefs Association.
Chief Frando inherits a department that has maintained its Insurance Services Office
Class 2 rating, an achievement that puts the Bakersfield Fire Department in an elite
group of just 1.5 percent of all departments in the nation.
Chief Frando succeeds Anthony Galagaza, who served as Chief for three and a half
years until his retirement, effective Friday, Dec. 3, 2021.
