HomeMy WebLinkAbout07/15/22CC OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER July 15, 2022 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items  Bakersfield Firefighters Bret Moffatt, Keith Chatwood, Kevin Hinkle, and Larry Eichner (below) were honored by the department this week for their selfless and brave actions that led to the rescue of a man during an off-duty trip to Pismo Beach on June 12. The quartet were with their families, camping in the area. When the group ventured down to the water to play, the firefighters noticed someone floating and unresponsive in the water. Instinctively and without hesitation, they quickly worked to rescue the man, using a nearby floating boogie board to pull him to shore and administer aid until local first responders arrived at the scene. The man survived and the four firefighters were not only each presented with an award for bravery, but also a Certificate of General Information July 15, 2022 Page 2 Congressional Recognition from Congressman David Valadao. We could not be prouder of these men’s actions and of how they represented Bakersfield and the Bakersfield Fire Department.  The Bakersfield Fire Department worked together with the Kern County Fire Department to respond to more than 6,000 illegal fireworks calls over the Independence Day weekend. Through the joint illegal fireworks reporting app, the two departments received 6,300 reports, with 1,300 on July 3 and 4,500 on July 4. Two dozen citations were written on July 4, and crews worked six structure fires, numerous outside fires, treated six burn injuries and responded to two people who suffered extreme injuries, a 12-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man.  A project to upgrade the fitness equipment at Silver Creek Park is now complete and the area has been re- opened for public use (right and below right). The project also included the installation of a shade structure as well. The $158,830 project was made possible through funding from the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure, also known as Measure N.  The ever-popular pop-up large trash item drop-off events return this weekend, with the City’s Solid Waste Division hosting a pair of drive-through events on Saturday, July 16, from 8 a.m. to noon. The events will be held at the parking lot of the Bakersfield Municipal Airport (2000 S. Union Avenue) and in the empty lot at 15050 Stockdale Highway (near the end of the Westside Parkway). These events are part of Bakersfield’s Clean City Initiative and are only possible thanks to funding from the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure.  The Ignite Innovation Lab through Bitwise Industries is already showing signs of success! The City, Kern County, B3K and Bitwise have partnered to give local entrepreneurs support as their businesses look to grow in our community. Eight local entrepreneurs received coaching specific to their needs from industry professionals over six months as part of the Ignite Innovation Lab, helping them succeed and grow! The City provided $640,000 for the Innovation Lab and another $50,000 in Economic General Information July 15, 2022 Page 3 Opportunity Area-qualified building improvements. We expect this to only be the beginning of this successful partnership. And be sure to check out this great video from Bitwise (shared by the County) showing off some of the participating businesses!  The City’s communications team – Public Information Officer Joe Conroy and Communications Coordinator Eric Galvan – as well as the Bakersfield Fire Department’s PIO were invited to meet with the newsroom staff at KBAK/KBFX (Channels 29 and 58) this week. It was a good opportunity to build good working relationships with some of the journalists our community members follow.  Some exciting news for those of you who follow the City’s social media presence: The official Bakersfield Twitter account (@Bakersfield_Cal) recently surpassed 2,000 followers! That’s a very exciting development for our communications team as it means we can reach more of our constituents. Eric has been a great addition to our team, helping grow our online activity and creating engaging and interesting content across all of our social media pages.  The City Clerk’s Office is accepting applications to fill vacancies on the Bakersfield Youth Commission: • Ward 3: regular appointment • Ward 4: regular appointment • Ward 5: regular and alternate appointments • Ward 6: regular and alternate appointments All applicants must be City residents, high school students, and have as close to a 3.0 GPA as possible.
