OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
June 3, 2022 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information
New Assistant City Manager
I’m very pleased to announce that we have filled our second of two Assistant City
Manager positions as Scott Andrews has accepted an offer to join the City of Bakersfield!
Scott joins us after serving as the City Manager of Covington, Ga. and brings 19 years of experience in local government in Florida and Georgia. He is expected to start on
Monday, June 27. I have no doubt that Scott’s varied experience in city management
will be a valuable asset for the City as he joins our team.
Notable Items
The Communication Office and the
Media Team in Technology Services
put together a great video showing off the City’s Graffiti Abatement Team in the General Services
Division. The video shows the
impressive work they do every day
to keep Bakersfield looking clean
and graffiti-free! The video has been
posted on the City’s social media
pages, the Graffiti Abatement
webpage, and on our YouTube
Channel. Check it out when you have a chance!
The Recreation & Parks Department’s Playground Rehabilitation Project is nearly complete. The more than $4 million project has completed work at eight parks so far
and just recently work on the playground at Solera Gardens (right) got underway with demolition of the old equipment starting. The playground area will be off-limits to the

public for about two months as a result.
The City-wide Playground Rehabilitation Project includes updating equipment at a
dozen parks in all seven City Wards. The Playground Rehab Project got underway at
the end of October and upgrades are currently underway at three parks, including
Solera Gardens. Only work on the playground at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park has
yet to begin, which is not expected until after the MLK Park Revisioning process is
completed.
The playground rehab project is only possible thanks to funding from the Public
Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure, also known as Measure N. Without that funding, the City could not accomplish these either in scope or the timeline in which
they're being completed.
The Bakersfield Police Department has put together a Public Service Announcement about the dangers of fentanyl as graduation season kicks off. The campaign includes
information on the signs of an overdose as well.
The Recreation & Parks Department continues the process of updating its Parks Master
Plan. The public is encouraged to provide feedback to the City by taking the Parks Master Plan survey. The deadline for the survey has been extended to July 10 to allow
more time for residents to send us their thoughts for the future of our parks. Feel free
to share out this link to the survey as well: bit.ly/MyWishForBakersfieldParks.
The deadline for the General Plan Update’s Housing Element Survey has been pushed
back to July 7 to allow for more feedback from the public. The General Plan is an
important piece of guidance for the City, and the survey will help us develop policies
to address the local housing needs of our communities. The survey is available in both
English and Spanish and we encourage everyone to not only take the survey, but also
to share it with everyone they know as well. The survey can be found at
www.bakersfield2045.com.

JConroy@bakersfieldcity.us CITY OF BAKERSFIELD ANNOUNCES HIRING OF NEW ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
Covington (Ga.) City Manager Scott Andrews selected after nationwide search
The City of Bakersfield is pleased to announce the hiring of Scott Andrews as its new
Assistant City Manager, starting Monday, June 27, 2022.
Andrews has worked in local government for 19 years, most recently as the City
Manager of Covington, Ga. He also previously served as the Assistant City
Administrator for the City of Smyrna, Ga. and as the Economic Development Director
in Sugar Hill, Ga. He also served in in numerous leadership roles in Temple, Fla. from
2003 to 2014.
“I am very pleased to have Scott joining our ranks among the City of Bakersfield’s
leaders,” City Manager Christian Clegg said. “Scott brings a great deal of city
management experience along with a particular enthusiasm for local government
community building that I believe will be invaluable to the City of Bakersfield as we
move into the future.”
"My family and I are excited to be very active members of the Bakersfield community
and I look forward to joining the talented team of dedicated public servants already
leading the City,” Andrews said. “It is so invigorating to be a part of the leadership
team for the ninth-largest City in California during this exciting transition period.
Bakersfield is at a monumental crossroads in its history. We must simultaneously work
to preserve Bakersfield's unique culture and charm, and balance that with those
clamoring for the quality-of-life amenities and initiatives provided to residents in other
similar sized communities. The next few years will help to define what Bakersfield will
become for the remainder of this century and we are up for the challenge.”
A native of Florida, Andrews has a master’s in public administration and a doctorate
in organizational leadership. He is one of 1,300 International City/County
Management Association (ICMA) credentialed managers in the U.S.

DEPARTMENT
PRESS RELEASE
Greg Terry, Chief of Police
Robert Pair, Sergeant
Public Information Officer
661-326-3803
rpair@bakersfieldpd.us
The Bakersfield Police Department partners with our community to protect
the lives and property of the people we serve.
Compassion • Accountability • Professionalism
For Immediate Release June 1, 2022
Graduation season is here, and that means celebrations will be taking place throughout
our community. As you set out to celebrate your or your student’s accomplishments,
the Bakersfield Police Department wants to remind you to stay safe, avoid
unnecessary risk, and have a plan.
Having a plan means knowing who you’re with, where you’re at, and what to do in an
emergency. Fentanyl specifically continues to be of great concern and has a
devastating impact on our youth, families, and community. Fentanyl has been found in
non-prescription Vicodin, Xanax, Oxycodone, as well as other illicit drugs. As little as
two milligrams of fentanyl can kill an average-sized adult.
The Bakersfield Police Department urges those celebrating the accomplishments of
graduation to be safe, refrain from consuming any unknown substance, and be
prepared in the event of a fentanyl overdose. If someone does start to overdose, call
9-1-1. The sooner medical aide is administered to the victim, the higher their chance of
survival.
If you’re going to be at a gathering with controlled substances, consider keeping a dose
of Narcan on hand in case someone starts to exhibit signs of an overdose. Symptoms
of fentanyl overdose may include:
• Slow breathing
• Chest pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Weak pulse
• Seizures or tremors
Do not let this season of celebrating academic success be ruined by fentanyl or
another other controlled substance. It’s never worth the risk.
