PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 5-136
Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is
described as 1951 Madison Street and as shown on Map and Assessment Diagram marked
Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth, as
an area within the City of Bakersfield.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of
Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the Public Works Director makes
and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the
area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public
street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and
sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities
including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation
system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers;
plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within
parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a
public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water,
electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and
operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be
made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other
public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax
revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of
parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping
improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for
maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type
described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source
other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping
and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be
constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance
District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street
median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street
tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same
amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in
Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit "C") per
parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living
reflected in the Los Angeles -Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price
EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hard-
scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park
and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount
established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above -described Consumer Price
Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be
affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median
improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will
benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis
throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto
and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, ZACHARY MEYER, Director of Public Works of the City of
Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City,
hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D"
and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth,
upon all parcels of property within additional territory subject to be assessed to pay the
cost of maintenance and operation in said area.
