OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
June 10, 2022 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information
Independence Day
The City of Bakersfield’s popular
Independence Day celebration and fireworks show will be held at The Park at
River Walk (11200 Stockdale Highway)
on Monday, July 4, 2022. The event will once again include live musical entertainment,
this year provided by Foster Campbell at
the Dignity Health Amphitheatre. The
fireworks show will begin at 9:15 p.m. and is sponsored by Robert and Kari Grimm
Family Foundation and Mechanics Bank.
Notable Items
The Development Services Department reports encouraging signs of activity during
May as 159 single-family home building permits were approved during the month.
That’s 49 more than how many were approved during the same month last year, and
it was the second-highest total approved during the month of May in the last five
years. So far in 2022, the City has approved 755 single-family home permits, 251 more
than by the same point in 2021. The City is also currently out-pacing last year’s total
permitting as well, 1,342 year-to-date compared to 1,202.
The Solid Waste Division will host a pair of large trash item drop-off events on Saturday,
June 11 at Kaiser Permanente Sports Village (9001 Ashe Road) and 4200 Panorama
Drive. The events will be open from 8 a.m. to noon.
The events, which are part of Bakersfield's Clean City Initiative and only possible thanks
to the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure, resulted in the collection of more
than 5,500 pounds of trash in May.

The City is developing its first climate action plan and is asking for the public’s help to
better understand the challenges and opportunities our community is facing when it
comes to climate change. In order to get that feedback, the Development Services
Department will host a workshop on Tuesday, June 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the City
Council Chambers at City Hall South (1501 Truxtun Avenue).
The public can learn more about this planning effort and engage in discussions by
attending this workshop. Anyone interested in participating should register for the
workshop using this link: https://bit.ly/3wuz0z9.
You may have noticed that
some of the demolition work at the Union Pacific Rail Station
on Sumner Street in Old Town Kern has been completed
(right). The metal radio tower that once stood nearby was
removed this week. Additional demo is expected as well,
including removal of an
auxiliary building and two
other small towers, though the main building will not be impacted.
The Economic & Community
Development Department
held three public meetings
this week to receive feedback on new potential
Transformative Climate Communities program
projects in the City. The
meetings were held at the Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Community Center (right) on
Tuesday, June 7, Thursday, June 9, and Friday, June 10.
The McMurtrey Aquatic Center will be opening for recreational swim Saturday,
June 11 with a new concrete
deck to show off (right). The
pool was closed through most
of May and early this month as
contractors performed repairs
and laid new concrete.
McMurtrey is currently open
for lap swim and will be open
for recreation swim June 11

this week (right). The project is funded by a Community
Development Block Grant.
The Recreation & Parks Department Parks Master
Plan update continues! 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 is now 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.
The Bakersfield Youth Commission hosted a supply drive for kindergarten through
eighth grade students at the Assistance League Bakersfield (below) on Saturday, June

AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
JUNE 15, 2022 COUNCIL MEETING
REGULAR MEETING – 3:30 p.m.
CLOSED SESSION
Items 4. One Item (All Wards)
REGULAR MEETING – 5:15 p.m.
CONSENT CALENDAR - AGREEMENTS
Item 7c. Transforming Climate Communities (TCC) Program (Wards 2 and 3) The Transformative Climate
Communities (TCC) Program, a grant program administered by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC),
“…funds the development and implementation of neighborhood-level transformative climate community plans that
include multiple, coordinated greenhouse gas emissions reduction projects that provide local economic,
environmental, and health benefits to disadvantaged communities.” In the 2nd round of TCC funding, the City was
awarded a TCC Planning Grant to help accomplish some of the planning and community outreach needed to
complete an application for TCC Implementation funding. The City’s focus area is downtown and portions of
surrounding historic neighborhoods of Old Town Kern, Oleander, Sunset, and Lakeview/MLK. The City’s goals for
TCC funding are to continue Bakersfield revitalization efforts in its downtown and historic neighborhoods for their
transformation into livable, sustainable, and thriving communities. Staff is recommending approval of the
resolution to authorize submitting a TCC Implementation application and execute necessary agreements.
Item 7d. 7821 Wible Road (Ward 7) As part of the Wible Road Widening project the City acquired the real property
located at 7821 Wible Road which is approximately 2 acres in size. Construction of the widening project is now
100% complete and the City wishes to sell the portion of the property which was not needed for construction. Upon
adoption of the resolution, staff will develop a competitive bid process to identify an affordable housing developer
to develop the subject site. Staff recommends the resolution declaring the land exempt surplus to allow staff to
begin the process.
Item 7k. Agrivoltaics (All Wards) Agrivoltaics is the use of land for both agriculture and solar photovoltaic energy
generation. This system looks at agriculture and solar energy production as compliments to the other instead of as
competitors. By allowing working lands to stay working, agrivoltaic systems could help farms diversify income and
develop energy resilience. Agrivoltaics is a new technology that is undergoing continued research and development
work to identify multiple opportunities and benefits, including the development of larger scale demonstration
projects. In November of 2021, the Economic and Community Development Department (ECD) entered into an
agreement with the Center for Strategic Policy Innovation to assist the City in developing relationships to further
the development of this technology in the City and in conjunction with university research opportunities at CSU
Bakersfield. Through the relationship with the Center, the City was introduced to the Arizona State University
Laboratory for Energy and Power Solutions (LEAPS) who has advanced work in the technology development and
modernization in microgrid and agrivoltaics projects. This is the first of several relationships the City anticipates to
engage in furthering the development of a technology and innovation park and other strategies related to the
Economic Development Strategic Plan
Item 7ag. Centennial Corridor Project, Eastbound State Route (SR) 58 to Northbound SR 99 Project (Ward 2) The
Centennial Corridor Project will connect SR 58 east of SR 99 to the Westside Parkway west of SR 99. The project will
provide both a regional and local freeway that significantly improves local circulation and facilitates regional traffic
movement. The Centennial Corridor Project will be the largest project in the Thomas Roads Improvement Program
(TRIP) and will tie together many of the previously constructed TRIP projects to create a central, east-west, access-
controlled transportation corridor through the Bakersfield Metropolitan Area. Parsons Transportation Group
completed the design of the Centennial Corridor Project which is currently under construction. This amendment
includes the environmental revalidation and design of the new connector from eastbound SR 58 to northbound SR
99 to a 60% level. Staff are recommending appropriation of $1,500,000 from the Local Transportation Development
Fund (TDF) balance to the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Program Budget within the local TDF
fund for the design of the project
Item 7aq. Implementation Grant for Organics Waste Collection (All Wards) On May 6, 2022, staff was notified the
City of Bakersfield was awarded the Cal Recycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant. The grant provides local agencies
with one-time assistance for implementation of SB 1383 regulation requirements. SB 1383, the state’s new organic
waste regulations, went into effect January 1, 2022, and requires the City to reduce the amount of organic material
dumped into landfills by 75% and increase edible food recovery by 20% by 2025. Among other things, the City must
provide organic collection service for all residences and businesses, establish edible food recovery programs for
food generators; conduct education and outreach; and monitor compliance and conduct enforcement. This requires
an investment in additional equipment and staff starting in Fiscal Year 2022-23.
Item 7as. Acceptance of Audit Reports for the 2020-21 Fiscal Year (All Wards) The City Council’s Budget and Finance
Committee met on May 23, 2022 and reviewed the audit reports with City staff and the independent outside audit firm
of Brown Armstrong. As a result of that meeting the Budget and Finance Committee recommended the various reports
be accepted by the City Council.
HEARINGS
9a. Domestic Water Rates (Wards 2-7) Staff is proposing to increase quantity rates, readiness to serve charge and
the private fire protection service charge by 5%. The specific dollar increase to each user is variable depending on
the size of water meter installed at a specific property and actual water usage. This rate increase would represent
an average monthly water bill increase from $28.87 to $30.37 based on average water use of 15 CCF per month. If
approved, the City’s water rates will continue to be the lowest in the metropolitan area. Based on several factors
which attribute to increased costs, including electricity, removal of the groundwater contaminant 123-TCP, system
repair and maintenance, and additional capital improvement projects, it has been determined that this rate increase
for Fiscal Year 2022-23 is necessary to help meet these costs. Staff recommends City Council take all additional
public testimony, close the public hearing and take action to adopt the proposed rate increase.
DEFERRED BUSINESS
11a. Fiscal Year 2022-23 City Budget (All Wards) The City released its Proposed Budget for FY 2022-23 on May 4,
2022. On May 9th and June 6th, staff presented department and division proposed budgets to the City Council. A
noticed public hearing for the FY 2022-23 budget was held on June 1, 2022.
The FY 2022-23 budget totals $735,303,000. The budget is comprised of the operating budget, including transfers,
totaling $642,174,000 and the capital improvement budget totaling $93,129,000. The proposed budget reflects the
funding of the City’s operating cost, including $113,581,000 in Bakersfield Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS)
Measure appropriations and the funding of various capital improvements, including street and road resurfacing,
park and recreation facilities, and improvements to other City-owned facilities for the 2022-23 fiscal year.
The proposed budget makes significant, sustained investment in action items associated with all City Council Goals.
Select highlights of the proposed budget include:
• Proposed addition of 1 new sworn Police Captain in the Field Services Division
• Proposed addition of 11 new civilian police positions
• Continuation of private security services in strategic partnership with the Bakersfield Police Department
• Continued support of the Class II ISO-rated Bakersfield Fire Department through facility enhancement
projects and specialized equipment acquisitions totaling $1,345,000 across all funds

Navigation Center; with an additional $1.8 million FY 23 PSVS Measure funding for costs associated with a
169-bed expansion expected to open in the Fall or Winter of 2022
• Over $8 million allocated across multiple funding sources to Recreation and Parks improvement projects
and facility enhancements in all wards of the City
• Addition of 1 new Park Technician position to assist the Park Construction and Facilities Planner given the
significant increase in park capital projects
• Addition of 5 positions within the Code Enforcement Division to create a targeted Special Projects
subsection within the division to focus on chronic nuisance properties
• Continued funding of $1.7 million for implementation of the Economic Development Strategic Plan
• Continued funding of $1 million for business assistance tools
• Increased investment in Economic Opportunity Areas
• Operating and capital funding for local streets and right-of-way improvements across all funding sources
totaling nearly $60 million (excludes proposed landscaping, dedicated multi-use path and non-right-of-way
infrastructure projects
• Additional $2,050,000 in utility surcharge funds to continue with the construction of the Friant-Kern Canal
Multi-Use Path & Hageman Road Multi-Use Path
• Continued PSVS Measure funding for the Clean City Teams and Pop-Up Drop Off Events as part of the Clean
City Initiative
• Continued PSVS Measure funding for the downtown ambassador litter removal teams and waste removal
program
• Continued PSVS Measure funding for the downtown private security and waste cleanup teams
• $3.75 million of PSVS Measure funds for construction of downtown corridor and streetscape enhancement
projects along Chester Avenue from Brundage Lane to Truxtun Avenue and design of improvements for H
Street, from Brundage Lane to Truxtun Avenue
As proposed, the budget includes the addition of 42 full time positions throughout the operations, including the
addition of 1 sworn Police Captain position in direct response to the City Council priorities of enhancing public safety
services. Additional positions included in the budget provide for the creation of a targeted Special Projects
subsection within the Code Enforcement Division to focus on chronic nuisance properties. The budget also includes
3 positions within the City Manager’s Office to support and expand the efforts of the California Violence
Intervention & Prevention (CalVIP) program. Out of the 42 new positions included within this budget, 25 are funded
by Public Safety and Vital Services Measure and 7 are proposed to be funded by historical general fund resources.
The remaining positions are funded by enterprise or special funding sources.
NEW BUSINESS
12a. First Reading of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 9.29 to the Bakersfield Municipal Code Relating to Shopping
Carts-Containment (All Wards) At the May 24, 2022 Homelessness Ad Hoc Committee meeting, the City Attorney’s
Office presented a PowerPoint presentation, at the request of the Vice Mayor, that outlined the history of
Council/Staff discussions surrounding abandoned shopping carts and possible solutions. A draft containment
ordinance was also presented, reviewed, and discussed. Ultimately, the Committee voted unanimously to send the
draft containment ordinance to the June 15, 2022 City Council meeting for first reading and requested that the City
Attorney make a similar presentation at said time. The Committee also requested the City Manager develop a
subsidy program for businesses and explore a contract for a one-time City-wide cart retrieval cleanup before the
ordinance goes into effect. Staff recommends Council move forward with First Reading of an Ordinance adding
Chapter 9.29 to the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to Shopping Cart Containment.

The Rapid Response Team worked on several major encampment projects this week which included: Weill Park and Sump
158.
RRT increased efforts at Beale Park and The Park at River Walk in preparation for the River Walk Movies in the Park event on
6/3 and the Beale Park Band Concert Event on 6/5.
RRT continues to be proactive in clearing out trash sites around the city in order to keep the community nice and clean.
RRT responded to one City Manager Referral.
Both UTVs are on the river working with a focus on the Islands West of Manor Street. We have two trainees in the UTVs as
passengers in preparation for future training with city staff.
Public encounters with the UTV’s continue to be positive.
RRT continues to be active in clearing the parks around the city to keep these environments clean and litter free for the
weekly Movies in the Park event.
