We’re getting into the hot summer months now and this is when the Water Resources
Department tends to see increases in water use. We want to take a moment to remind
all customers on the City’s Domestic Water System that we are still in Stage 2 of our drought mitigation plan. That includes restrictions on yard irrigation, including an even-odd address schedule:
• Outdoor residential landscape and turf watering should be limited to no more than three days (recommended: no more than two);
• Odd number addresses water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (or Tuesdays and Saturdays);
• Even number addresses water on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays (or Wednesdays and Sundays);
• No watering is permitted on Mondays;
• Watering should be done between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. for maximum

City’s website, including rebates, conservation kits and what the City is doing to combat the drought.
The parking lot of San Miguel Commemorative Grove will be closed from Tuesday,
July 12 through Thursday, July 14 as a construction project is finished. Crews will be completing the installation of a perimeter barrier around the parking lot which will

Traffic Advisories
Overnight lane reductions planned on Allen Road Bridge
Overnight lane reductions are planned for the Allen Road Bridge over the Kern River starting July 10 as the City of Bakersfield’s Public Works Department completes a joint
sealing project on the bridge.
Work on this project is expected to begin on Sunday, July 10. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction over the river from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night, Sunday through
Friday. Work on this project is expected to be completed by Friday, July 22.

The City thanks the public for its patience and understanding during the completion of

AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
JULY 13, 2022 COUNCIL MEETING
REGULAR MEETING – 3:30 p.m.
CLOSED SESSION
Item 3c. One Item (All Wards)
REGULAR MEETING – 5:15 p.m.
CONSENT CALENDAR – ORDINANCES
Item 7d. Second Reading of Shopping Carts Containment Ordinance (FR 06/15/22) (All Wards) On May 24, 2022, the
Homelessness Ad Hoc Committee received a presentation, at the request of the Vice Mayor, about abandoned shopping
carts and possible solutions. A draft ordinance was also presented, and the Committee voted unanimously to send the
draft containment ordinance to Council. On June 15, the City Attorney once again presented a PowerPoint detailing the
history of the containment ordinance. After discussion from Council, there was a Motion by Vice Mayor Weir to approve
First Reading of the Shopping Cart Containment Ordinance; the motion passed unanimously. This is the second reading
of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 9.29 to the Bakersfield Municipal Code Relating to Shopping Carts-Containment. The
City Manager’s Office will present a subsidy program and contract for at least a one-time city-wide cart retrieval service
at a later date.
CONSENT CALENDAR – RESOLUTIONS
Item 7f. Establishing Smart Cart Shopping Cart Containment Subsidy Program (All Wards) The containment ordinance
requires all property owners of retail establishments within the City that provide shopping carts for use by their
patrons. Each property owner will be responsible for developing, implementing, and complying with a shopping cart
containment system. In order to assist businesses to comply with the new ordinance, the Economic and Community
Development Department intends to develop a subsidy program to assist property owners with the required cost to
comply with the new City standard. Existing property owners will be required to have systems in place by February 8,
2023. The resolution would authorize staff in the Economic and Community Development Department to build out the
programs parameters and developing the required processes to facilitate the program.
Item 7h. Designated Comparable Cities for Comparison Surveys of Employees’ Compensation. (All Wards)
The framework of the City’s compensation plan has not been significantly restructured in over 30 years. Among other
factors, this has affected the recruitment efforts of key positions and retention of highly qualified employees. To help
address this issue, the City has agreed to conduct a salary survey for base salary and total compensation. To accomplish
this, City Staff requested the contracted vendor for the classification and compensation study, Koff & Associates, review
the 1991 comparable cities list for relevancy and possible updates. Koff & Associates assessed cities based on population,
budget, staff size, cost of living, cost of labor, and geographic location. This list was presented to an internal staff
committee, as well at the Personnel Committee. An overview of the study process and the recommended comparator
list was then presented on the June 14, 2022 meeting.
The recommend Survey Cities, in ranked order, are as follows:
1. City of Stockton
2. City of Fresno
3. City of Oxnard
4. City of Anaheim
5. City of Modesto
6. City of Sacramento
7. City of Burbank
8. City of Glendale
9. City of Pasadena
10. City of San Bernardino
11. City of Ontario
12. City of Clovis
CONSENT CALENDAR - AGREEMENTS
Item 7m. Memorandum of Understanding (Collective Partnership Agreement Letter) regarding the Community
Economic Resilience Fund (All Wards). The State of California created the Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF)
to support regional economic development planning by investing in strategies and projects that help to diversify regional
economies and develop sustainable industries that create high quality jobs. The City has been engaged with B3K which
established a regional, inclusive planning process to map out the economic future of the Kern County region. This MOU
will serve as an outline on how the City works with its partners in both the Planning and Implementation phases of the
CERF Program. It is anticipated that the City’s significant investment in economic development and the strong connection
between the City’s economic development strategic plan and regional economic initiatives will both leverage and support
the CERF planning and implementation process. Consequently, the City will serve in a significant role in both the planning
and implementation of the CERF strategy.
Item 7u. Rapid Rehousing Services Grant ($112K) for Bakersfield Homeless Center. (All Wards) In 2019, the City received
$3.27 million in Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program funds to be expended over a 2 – 5 year
timeframe. From 2020 to 2021, the City approved plans for the use of HHAP funds and all but one grant was awarded at
these meetings: the Bakersfield Homeless Center Rapid Rehousing Grant. This agreement provides $112,838.75 in
additional funding for the Bakersfield Homeless Center’s Rapid Rehousing services and provide rental assistance and
housing navigation case management services to people experiencing homelessness.
Item 7Y. Additional $1.2 million for Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) Food Bank (All Wards) The City
amended an agreement with the Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) for $1.2 million of Community
Development Block Grant Coronavirus CARES (CDBG-CV) funds to expand the CAPK Food Bank. This project supports
HUD’s Action Plan Goals No. 4 Foster community and economic development and No. 5 Enhance facilities and services
for the non-homeless special needs population, including seniors, and persons with disabilities.
Item 7z. Amended Agreement with Housing Authority of the County of Kern. (All Wards) The City of Bakersfield was
allocated a total of four grants totaling $44.8 million through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 and the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). The allocations are to be used for COVID related Emergency Rental Assistance
(ERA) Programs. The City partnered with the Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK) to administer a unified local
program under the four grants. At the start of the program, the City set aside one percent of the funds for City
Administration of the four ERA grants. To date, the City still has $447,941.34 left in administrative funds. The City has
amended its agreement with HACK to transfer the $447,941.34 to be used for direct emergency rental and utilities
assistance. This amendment will add $447,941.34 to HACK’s established ERA Program for a total of $44,794,133.34.
PUBLIC SAFETY/VITAL SERVICES MEASURE
Item 7ak. Outlining the Administration of the Public Art Program (All Wards) With the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2022-
23 budget, City Council allocated $1.25 million in Public Safety & Vital Services funding for the purpose of establishing
the City’s first Public Art Program. The purpose of this funding is to provide for the installation of public art projects to
complement City Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. The resolution brought before Council designates all final
approval authority to the City Council for all projects funded with the $1,250,000 Public Art allocation, including both CIP
project installations and community grant awards. The administration structure of this program, including the assigned
department and processing recommendations for soliciting, selecting, and approving all projects funded through this
allocation, will be determined at a later date.
Item 7an. Expanding Scope of Work for the Parks Department Master Plan Update (All Wards) On November 3, 2021,
Council approved Agreement No. 2021-257 with MIG, Inc. (Design Consultant) for $522,085 for the Recreation and Parks
Department Master Plan Update. As work progressed by the Design Consultant, Staff identified additional tasks which
required the City expand the original scope of work. The additional tasks listed are as follows:
• Kaiser Permanente Sports Village Engagement
• Urban and Central City Tree Plan
• Kern River Parkway Recommendations
• McAllister Ranch Recommendations
NEW BUSINESS
12a. Presentation by City Attorney’s Office on a Proposed Ordinance Prohibiting the Unlawful Possession of Catalytic
Converters in the City (All Wards) The City Attorney’s Office will provide a presentation to City Council that explains the
issue of unlawful possession of catalytic converters in the City. As directed, the City Attorney’s Office has drafted a
proposed ordinance, which is modelled after the City of Artesia’s ordinance to make it a misdemeanor to possess a
detached catalytic converter absent valid proof of lawful possession. It should be noted that none of the Top 10 Cities or
Survey Cities appear to have adopted a local catalytic converter ordinance to date, and several are instead sponsoring
and/or monitoring state legislation introduced by their respective local state politicians. Accordingly, staff recommends
Council determination regarding the following options:
1. Provide direction to staff to bring back the attached proposed ordinance for First Reading at the August 17, 2022
City Council meeting; OR
2. Provide direction to staff to bring back a resolution in support of state legislation on the issue of catalytic
converters; OR
3. Provide direction to staff to continue monitoring local ordinances and state legislation on the issue of catalytic
converters and report back to Council and/or Committee at a future meeting.
