REPORTS
Item 3o' Enterprise Resource Software (AUU Wands) In 2021'the City began the procurement process for an Enterprise
Resource Planning(ERP) software replacement for the current system, Navi|ine.The ERP software system is used to
execute business processes throughout City departments. Existing ERP software was implemented in the mid 1990s,
and due to the largely customized nature of the product, few software updates have occurred.This has resulted in the
development and continued use of inefficient manualized workarounds to complete City tasks and an inability to
implement standardized procedural policies. Through a thorough and complete procurement process, City Staff
reviewed multiple proposals, demonstrations and took part in detailed interviews with potential software integration
services agencies. Ultimately,the Oracle software and Hi0hstreet IT Solutions integration team were selected to move
the Oty's ERP integration project forward. Funding for this agreement was approved at the mid-year budget update in
March 2022 through the PSVS Capital Outlay Fund and there is no General Fund Impact. Staff recommends agreements
not to exceed $A'6UU'OU0.
CONSENT CALENDAR-ORDINANCES
Item 7c. CatalVtic Converter Ordinance (AIIII Wards)At the April 6, 2022 City Council meeting, Councilmember Arias
requested that the Safe Neighborhoods Committee consider an ordinance that would assist local law enforcement
efforts to curb catalytic converter thefts in the City. The ordinance, being heard on first reading, makes it a
misdemeanor to possess a detached catalytic converter absent "documentation or other proof" of lawful
possession,nrtn knowingly falsify such documentation. |f approved,the ordinance would move toa second reading
at future Council meeting.
CONSENT CALENDAR-AGREEMENTS
Item 7m' Fire Department Tele911 Program Participation (AUU Wards)Te|e911 connects patients to physicians while
on the scene of 911 call and is utilized by both Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support staff, who have
received proper training and have been provided mandatory equipment, making the highest level of care available
to the patient. |ncorporatin0te|ennedidne into the Bakersfield Fire Department's (BFD) emergency medical service
operations will provide access to a higher level of patient care compared to the currently available resources.
Te|ennedicine will a||ovv stable patients to be treated by a physician on scene and released (Treatment in Place),
avoiding medically unnecessary ambulance transport to local hospitals thus reducing the number of incidences of
unnecessary transports, shortening the on-scene times for BFDfirst responders, as well as freeing up ambulances
for those that truly need emergency care. Staff recommends a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the
County of Kern to loan 20 iPads to the BFID for purposes of implementing the Tele911 program.
Item 7g. Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra and Bakersfield Art Foundation (All Wards) On June 15, 2022, the City
Council approved the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget, which includes a contribution to the Bakersfield Art Foundation
and to the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. The City Council has continuously demonstrated support for these
community organizations through annual contributions. Staff recommends an agreement with both organizations
in the amount of$50,000 each.
Item 7x. Friant-Kern Canal Multi-Use Path Partnership with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad
(Wards 2-5)The Friant-Kern Canal Multi-Use Path Project will construct a multi-use path along the Friant-Kern Canal
to provide multiple recreation and transportation opportunities, such as walking, bicycling, inline skating, and
mobility for people in wheelchairs.The project will feature a six-mile long, 12-foot asphalt path with four-foot-wide
shoulders on both sides with striping, markings, roadside signs, and all necessary infrastructure.Also,the multi-use
path will provide alternate transportation to residential areas and businesses adjacent to the project. The project
proposes an overcrossing for the multi-use path to go across and over the existing railroad tracks. This agreement
reimburses BNSF for all actual costs and expenditures that BNSF incurs in performing flagging, inspection,
coordination reviews, and other administrative cost during the construction of the project. Staff recommend a
Construction and Maintenance Agreement with Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Company in the
amount of$433,440.
Item lay.TransWest Private Security(All Wards)Beginning in 2019,the City Council pursued the addition of private
security patrols to the areas of the City most impacted by increases in crime.The pilot project resulted in a positive
impact upon the areas in which the Prevention Patrol Strategy was deployed. Prevention Patrol is another means
by which the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) will achieve its mission, "to partner with our community to
protect the lives and property of the people we serve." Staff recommend an agreement with Trans-West Security
Services, Inc. not to exceed $493,904.40,to provide high-visibility security presence and patrols, as directed by the
Bakersfield Police Department, throughout the City of Bakersfield.
Item 7az. ShotSpotter (All Wards) The ShotSpotter System detects the sound of gunshots and provides the location of
the shooting to BPD officers on patrol within a minute of the shooting. This aids first responders in routing police and
emergency medical services to the scenes of shootings with greater accuracy and reliability. Police believe more accurate
and efficient response to illegal gunfire will reduce shootings, increase gun seizures and arrests,and improve community
relations by focusing police response on those engaged in violent crimes.The system currently consists of microphones
strategically placed over a 3.0 square mile area within the City of Bakersfield along with proprietary software that detects
and analyzes gunfire, and then immediately notifies the police department of the GPS coordinates. Given the success of
the ShotSpotter program, ShotSpotter, Inc. provided the city an evaluation period to test the ShotSpotter Conneff"
Software subscription, which expired on June 30, 2022. The Bakersfield Police Department recommends the purchase
of a one-year subscription to the proprietary ShotSpotter Connect" software at a cost not to exceed $48,750.00.
NEW BUSINESS
12a. Accessibility of Tobacco and Vaping Products in Areas Around Schools (All Wards) During the April 6, 2022,
Bakersfield City Council Meeting, in the Public Statements portion, Councilmembers Parlier and Arias requested
that City staff present to the Safe Neighborhoods & Community Relations Committee the topic of reducing the
accessibility of tobacco and vaping products in areas surrounding schools via consideration of a local tobacco retail
licensing ordinance, as well as targeted enforcing efforts with local partners (State, County & City). Following the
Committee meeting, staff have laid out five options for the Council to consider and give direction on.
