Public Service Recognition Week
May 2 through 5 was National
Public Service Recognition
Week this year and culminated
with the Annual Employee Appreciation Breakfast on
Friday, May 6 at Yokuts Park
(right, below and page 2).
Many of the City’s employees
were able to stop by for a
breakfast served by the City’s
executive staff, including the
City Manager’s Office, and
department leaders. It was the
first time since the pandemic

General Information May 6, 2022 Page 2
Staff was excited to be able
hold this event more traditionally to show our
appreciation. State Population Report
The City of Bakersfield continues to grow, even as the
rest of California's population declines. The State's
Department of Finance recently released its 2022
population estimates, showing that Bakersfield one of only four of the 10 largest in
California to see increases to their population since 2021.
The report shows that Bakersfield's population was 408,865 as of Jan. 1, 2022, an
increase of nearly 3,000 residents compared to 2021's total of 406,129. The City's
population is also up more than 6,000 since April 2020 when the state estimated it at
402,857.
This, all while the state's population overall decreased by nearly 100,000, from 39.3
million to 39.19 million. Bakersfield also remains the ninth-largest city in the state, right
behind Oakland (424,464) and ahead of Anaheim (341,245). Notable Items
The City of Bakersfield’s first Youth Jobs program officially kicked off with a special
event on Friday, May 6 featuring our partners (below). The program has been
accepting applications for the high school summer internship program for about a
week. Mayor Karen Goh, California Chief Service Officer Josh Fryday, Kern Community Foundation CEO Aaron Falk, and a former City intern turned City
Manager’s Office employee Pilar Avalos talked about the importance of this new program and the impact it is expected to have on local youth.
The program is funded by a $5.39 million grant from California Volunteers out of the

Governor’s Office and will provide nearly 400 jobs to youth ages 16- to 30-years-old

The City and Councilmember Andrae Gonzales (Ward 2) held a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, May 3 (below) for the recently completed Quailwood Park playground upgrade. Dozens of kids, parents and grandparents joined the Councilmember, Recreation & Parks Director Rick Anthony and Park Construction & Facilities Planner
Fidel Goznalez to help snip the ribbon.
This playground update is part of a larger, $4.01 million Playground Rehabilitation Project bringing new equipment to 12 City-maintained parks in all seven Wards. The
project is only possible thanks to the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure, also known as Measure N. Since starting in October 2021, work has been completed or
started at 10 of the parks, with only Solera Gardens and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park
remaining.
The Recreation & Parks Department is inviting residents
to help shape its Parks Master Plan Update with a public
survey. The survey will be available through June 4 and
will help provide vital feedback to guide the
department’s investment strategy for parks, facilities,
trails, open spaces and more over the next decade.
The City is currently accepting applications for the
Hometown Heroes Banners program (example at right).
Anyone interested should contact the program
administrator, Proforma Solutions (661-637-1117), or the
Kern River Blue Star Moms. The deadline for applications

JConroy@bakersfieldcity.us NEW BAKERSFIELD YOUTH JOBS PROGRAM LAUNCHED
Program is a partnership between the City, Kern Community Foundation, and
California Volunteers, Office of the Governor
The City of Bakersfield is excited to announce the creation and launch of the
Bakersfield Youth Jobs Program – the first of its kind. Thanks to a $5.39 million grant
from California Volunteers, Office of the Governor, the City will hire nearly 400 youth
ages 16- to 30-years-old starting in June.
The program will include a paid high school summer internship program, a paid
college-level fellowship program and partnerships with non-profits to employ justice-
involved youth.
“The Bakersfield Youth Jobs program aims to inspire the next generation to improve
their communities by working with the City and non-profit organizations,” Mayor
Karen Goh said. “This multi-faceted program will engage our most vulnerable youth
by providing opportunities and mentorship services.”
The program will provide job training, case management, and mentorship to
underserved youth to bolster our future workforce.
“The #CaliforniansForAll Youth Jobs Corps is a win for our young people, the City of
Bakersfield and the State of California,” California Chief Service Officer Josh Fryday
said. “California is investing in underserved youth and bringing people together in
service to uplift our communities.”
An array of entry-level and career paths has been identified in City departments and
non-profit organizations. These pathways will provide both hands-on and technical
training to equip youth with experience and knowledge to prepare them for future
permanent employment.
The City has partnered with Kern Community Foundation to administer the program,
including accepting and reviewing applications, as well as placing successful
candidates in available positions.
“Our mission is to grow our community,” said Aaron Falk, President and CEO of the
Kern Community Foundation. “This program will do just that. The Foundation is proud
to partner with the City of Bakersfield. This can be a life-changing experience for the
participants. They will learn useful skills, develop relationships with mentors, and grow
a sense of pride and ownership in Bakersfield.”
Applications for the high school summer internship program are now being
accepted with the program expected to begin June 13, 2022. Applications can be
found on the Kern Community Foundation’s website.
Applications for the college-level fellowship program are expected open in
September 2022.

JConroy@bakersfieldcity.us RECREATION & PARKS MASTER PLAN UPDATE COMMUNITY SURVEY LAUNCHES
Residents are invited to help shape the future of the City’s parks system
The City of Bakersfield is inviting residents to help shape the future of recreation and
parks by participating in a community-wide survey. The survey, which is available
now through June 4, 2022, will help guide the City’s investment strategy for
enhancements to parks, facilities, trails, open space, programs, and events over the
next 10 years.
The survey from the City’s Recreation & Parks Department is the second phase of a
year-long process to update the City of Bakersfield’s Recreation & Parks Master Plan,
a process that occurs once every 5 to 10 years. Ensuring community participation is
critical to the plan’s overall and long-term success.
“The City of Bakersfield continues to make historic investments in parks and facilities
through the Public Safety & Vital Services Measure, also known as Measure N,” said
Rick Anthony, the City’s Recreation & Parks Department Director. “We are excited to
hear from our residents about what their vision and priorities are to guide Recreation
& Parks for the next 10 years.”
More information about the survey is available on the city’s website
www.bakersfieldcity.us/ParkPlan. To take the survey, visit
bit.ly/MyWishForBakersfieldParks.
Community input from the survey will have lasting impacts as the Recreation & Parks
Department conducts a community engagement process to determine priorities
and opportunities. Survey input provides residents a chance to:
• Share how they use parks, facilities, trails, open space, and programs;
• Identify what parks, trails, and recreation facilities they would like to see
more of;
• Help the city prioritize ongoing improvements of parks and recreation
facilities.
The entire planning process has four phases:
• Parks Evaluation;
• Community Needs;
• Priority Projects and Recommendations;
• Implementation.
The planning process is expected to be completed by Spring 2023. There will be
several public outreach strategies to gather community input to shape the priorities of the plan, and survey participation ensures a strong start to the process.

Keep Kern County’s
Children Safe
The warm weather of Kern County
tends to drive children to swim-
ming pools, canals, lakes, and the
Kern River for a chance to cool off.
An oasis can quickly become a
hazard if adults are not actively
supervising these water interac-
tions.
There are many ways that parents
and guardians can prepare them-
selves, and their children to be
safe in the hot summer months.
Maintaining constant supervision,
teaching your child to swim, and
learning CPR are some of the ways
you can be prepared.
Take steps now to make water
safety your priority. This booklet
will provide water safety tips to
help keep your family safe.

Stewie the Duck’s
Swimming Safety Rules
1. A grown-up must watch you in the pool.
2. Cover your chest with a life vest.
3.Don’t jump in ‘til you learn to swim.
4.Reach or throw, don’t go.
(source: www.stewietheduck.com)
Safety Advice for Parents
Maintain constant supervision of children
in and around water. It only takes inches
for a child to drown.
Teach your children to swim. Consider
enrolling them in a local program that is
age appropriate.
Learn CPR. This can save a life in the event
of a water related accident.
Use US Coast Guard approved life vests.
Other floatation devices can shift or
malfunction, and should not be used as a
safety device.
Establish rules and enforce them. No one
swims alone, stay away from drains, and no
diving in pool (if appropriate).
Understand the Risks
Drowning is the leading
cause of death for infants
and young children be-
tween the ages of 1-4. (US
CDC)
A swimming pool is 14
times more likely than a
motor vehicle to be in-
volved in the death of a
child age 4 and under. (OC
Fire Authority)
Between 2002-2012, 47
children died from drown-
ing in Kern County. (Kern County 2014 Report)
Participation in formal swim lessons could re-
duce the likelihood of childhood drowning by
88%. (USA Swimming.org)
It Only Takes a Moment
Drowning usually happens quickly and silently.
Often children are out of sight for less than 5
minutes. (US CDC)
Be Prepared
Know how to respond to an aquatic emergency.
Secure your pool or hot tub with appropriate
barriers. Remove any structures that provide
unsupervised access. Don’t leave pool toys in
pool area when not in use. If a child is missing,
check water first. Seconds count in preventing
death or disability.
Keep Your Child Safe,
In and Around Water
CPR/AED & First Aid Classes
The City of Bakersfield has partnered with First
5 Kern to make CPR/AED & First Aid classes
available to parents of children ages 0-5 free of
cost. Classes are held on Saturdays from 8 am-
1pm at the McMurtrey Aquatic Center.
Check Activity Brochure or City Website for
class dates.
Swim Lessons
The City offers American
Red Cross Learn to Swim
lessons. Red Cross Learn
to Swim features six levels
of instruction to help
swimmers of all ages and
abilities develop their skills.
Four sessions are offered
June through August at the
four City pools. For
registration information,
see Summer Activity Brochure or
www.bakersfieldparks.us.
Water Safety Education
This program creates awareness of water
safety issues and helps educate families in order
to reduce drowning incidents. Throughout the
year we offer local water safety workshops to
work with adults in the community to keep
children safe in Kern County. In addition,
parents that are observing their children during
swim lessons and those in attendance at special
events are provided with water safety
information. The City is dedicated to increasing
awareness of what each of us can do to
practice water safety.
Be involved in your child’s swim lessons: you can both
learn valuable safety tips.
Teaching your child to
swim can keep them
safe at a pool; but remember, it does not
make them drown-
proof.
