SUBJECT: AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS - MARCH 29, 2000, COUNCIL MEETING
PRE-MEETING
There is a workshop presentation regarding Consolidated Plan 2005 by Economic Development
Director, Jake Wager.
Them am two closed session items: 1) City Manager Performance Evaluation; and 2) Conference with
Legal counsel regarding existing litigation on the matter of City of Bakersfield vs Valley Communities,
Inc.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Consent Calendar items are explained by Administrative Reports. Those that should be highlighted
include:
Resolutions:
Item 8c. Resolution authodzinq an application for $80,226 qrant funding for Used Oil Recyclinq. In the
past, the Public Works Department has applied for and received grant funds from the California
Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) for disposal of used motor oil. As a continuation of this
program, the CIWMB is now requesting application for funding of $80,226. Approval of the grant
application would make possible the continuation of curbside recycling of used motor oil and oil filters,
which currently affect over 63,000 homes in City. To participate, homeowners can call the Solid Waste
Division to arrange for curbside pickup. No alley service will be provided, nor will homeowners be
permitted to bring used oil directly to the City Corporation Yard.
Item 8d. Resolution approving application for $60,000 in State Funds for Rec¥clinq Beverage
Containers. Currently, the State is required to distribute a total of $10.5 million to eligible cities and
counties for beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities. As part of the effort to cornply
with the AB 939 goal of diverting 50% of the waste stream away from landfills, Bakersfield operates
seven drop-off recycling centers, which accept glass and plastic beverage containers. All revenues for
the sale of recyclables become property of the City. The resolution would authorize staff to apply for
$60,000 in additional funding for FY 00/01 that would be used to supplement the drop-off recycling
program~ which costs $190,000 per year to operate.
Agreements:
Item 8f. Agreement with William Avery & Associates, Inc., $27,600 for Neqotiation and Consultant
Services in Employer-Employee Relations. In 1997, Council approved Mr. Avery's consulting agreement
for three-year pedod ending in 2000. Mr. Avery has provided almost 20 years of consultation services
for the City in the area of labor negotiations. He has been successful in building positive working
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

Page -2~
relationships between labor groups, staff and Council; and he has a unique understanding of the City's
labor history and past practices. Mr. Avery's annual fee has remained at the same level or lower since
1992. This three-year agreement implements 9.5% increase to an annual fee of $27,600. Mr. Aver¥'s
services will be used in the near future to begin discussions with the police and fire units regarding their
request to amend our PERS contract to provide 3% at age 50.
Item 8g. Agreement with Golden Construction & Excavation, $18,077 for removal and replacement of
manhole shafts on Ashe Road, between Panama Lane and Harris Road. Developer, Castle & Cooke
was required to do construction on Ashe Road between Panama Lane and Harris Road. As part of the
regular inspection of the roadway, it was determined that existing manholes located on Ashe Road had
become deteriorated beyond repair. Due to the nature of Castle & Cooke's roadway improvements and
time constraints to complete paving of the roadway, staff directed the contractor to remove and replace
the manhole shafting before the roadway was paved. This agreement allows for the payment for that
work. Had the City not elected to do have the work done immediately, it would have cost significantly
more money to repair after the roadway was constructed and paved.
item 8h. Aqreement with Bharat N. Mehta and Nita Bharat Mehta to annex property located at 6850
South Union Avenue and allow sewer connection fee to be paid in three equal annual installments.
The owners of the original Budget Motel at 6850 South Union Avenue have requested annexation to
the City in order to connect to the City sewer system. This agreement waives the owners protest rights
to the annexation and allows the sewer connection fee be paid in three equal annual installments clue
to economic hardship.
Item 8i. Aqreement with Castle & Cooke California, Inc. for Acquisition and Development of Park Site
in Expanded Seven Oaks Community. The attached agreement provides for the conveyance of title
from Castle & Cooke to the City, and requires Castle & Cooke to post a bond for the park pending its
construction, provides the park be constructed within a certain time frame, and identifies the amenities
for the park and guarantees workmanship. Under the terms Of the proposed agreement, this park will
be completed either by December 31, 2001, or prior to the issuance of more than 300 building permits
within the Expanded Seven Oaks Community.
Item 8j. Agreement with County of Kern, State of California, $25,000 for at*qrade crossing improvements
on L Street for the Bakersfield Amtrak Station Proiect. As part of the overall Amtrak Station project, the
City entered into an agreement with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad (BNSF) for the City to
close a number of at-grade crossings, including "F" Street and the private crossing that the County now
uses on "K" Street. Since the pdvate crossing has a certain function for both the Court Building and
Sheriff's Facility, additional improvements had to be made at their main "L" Street access point. This
agreement allows for those improvements to be constructed and a reimbursement to the County for
$25,000. Funds for this agreement currently exist within the Amtrak Station Project Fund. The County
Board of Supervisors have already approved this agreement. Staff recommends approval.
Item 8k. Aqreement with GRC Associates, Inc., $24,750 to conduct a Fiscal Impact Study of the City
Center Concept. In an effort to fully understand the potential impact of the concept, staff is proposing
that a consultant be retained to quantify such impacts. Analysis will try to define tax revenues due to
out-of-town room nights and restaurant sales, estimate new employment and payroll added to the
community, analyze the value of eliminating blight existing at the site, and offer an opinion as to the
positive or negative impacts of the project to the downtown. GRC Associates, Inc. are uniquely qualified
to perform this service for the City in that they successfully delivered the Bakersfield Downtown
Economic Development project in June 1999. Given their knowledge of the Bakersfield market and their
familiarity with the study area, significant time savings would be realized. The cost for the fiscal impact
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
March 24, 2000
Page -3-
study is estimated at $24,750, excluding printing, copying, and third party data that still may need to be
acquired. The analysis should take five weeks following the receipt of written authorization to proceed.
Item 81. Purchase Aqreement with Ledinila Quimpo to acquire real property located at the terminus of
Ohio Drive for additional street riqht~of-way to provide access to nearby residential properties. After
receiving information from the Solid Waste division of a blockage at the end of Ohio Drive, it was
discovered that the dirt access strip at the terminus of Ohio Drive was never dedicated as a County
Road. This is the only access for several properties at the end of the strip. Further investigation
revealed the property was sold at County tax auction on July 27, 1999. Acquisition of this property will
provide public access to several properties that currently depend on an unpaved private access strip.
The Streets division will pave this as a public street after its acquisition. On April 17, 2000, the Planning
Commission will be asked to find the acquisition consistent with the 2010 General Plan.
Item 8m. Amendment No. 1 to Aqreement No. 99-324, with Carroll's Tire Warehouse for reimbursement
of the cost of the 12" sewer line at the northeast corner of Rosedale Highway and Coffee Road; and
appropriation of Fund Balance to the Capital Improvement Budget within the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
Carroll's Tire Warehouse on the northeast comer of Rosedale Highway and Coffee Road is required
to extend the sewer line across the frontage of their property. The original agreement was to reimbulrse
Carroll's for the difference in cost between the 12-inch line required by the City and an 8-inch line
normally required of the developer. Since Carroll's could have connected to the sewer without
extending this sewer line, the City is reimbursing Carroll's for the entire cost of the 12-inch line. This
amendment increases the reimbursement amount from $13,531 to $22,210.
Item 8n. Amendment No. 1 to Aqreement No. 00-7, with Holiday Inn Select for room rental and
refreshments for "The Disney Keys to Management Excellence" training seminar. The City of
Bakersfield is co-sponsoring a training event conducted by the Disney Institute at the Holiday Inn Select
on Apd111, 2000. The odginal agreement with Holiday Inn was based on catering for 300 participa~r~ts.
The revision of the room layout has resulted in the ability to accommodate up to 450 participants. This
amendment to the odginal agreement increases the maximum total compensation to $22,374 to provide,
if needed, catedng for the maximum number of participants. There will be no additional cost to the City-
participant registration fees will cover the entire catedng portion of the agreement. For your information,
approximately 100 reservations have been made for the event thus far.
Item 8o. Installation of Traffic Signal and Liqhtinq System on Brimhall Road at Jewetta Avenue; Contiract
Change Order Nos. I through 7 to Contract No. 99-166 with Griffith Company; and appropriate Fund
Balance to the Capital Improvement Budqet within the Transportation Development Fund. This preject
improved and widened the intersection of Brimhall road and Jewetta Avenue, provided signalization of
the intersection, and widened a portion of Brimhalt Road east of the intersection. In the process of
designing the traffic signal, staff became aware that two adjacent property owners were also prepa~ring
plans for improvement of their frontages along Brimhall Road. To better coordinate efforts and save
money, the City entered into an agreement with Castle & Cooke and North Bakersfield Recreation ;and
Parks distdct to construct a combined project that included this traffic signal as well as widening Brimhall
road. The change orders include $5,333 for the accelerated work schedule, redesigned pavernent
elevations for $9,895, discrepancies or omissions to the consultant prepared plans for $25,545, ;and
changes to the product quantity for $15,237. Each party has agreed to pay a portion of the total cost:
the consultant will pay $3,641, NBRPD will pay $26,159, Castle & Cooke will pay $5,756, and the City
will pay $18,454.

the City's interest in applvinq for a Five Year Extension of the Enterprise Zone. The Southeast

for a five-year extension. Therefore staff is beginning the extension process with this Letter of Intent,
which needs to be sent to California Trade and Commerce Agency. It states that Bakersfield agraes
to participate in the extension process and meet all the application requirements and deadlines.
Because the zone is jointly administered with Kern County, the County will submit a separate letter
indicating the intent to apply for extension. On February 15, 2000, the Kern County Board of
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
March 24, 2000
Page -5-
Supervisors authorized such a letter be sent on the County's behalf. City and County staff will work

HEARINGS
Item 9a. A Resolution confirminq the Report of the Chief Code Enforcement Officer reqardin__q
assessments of certain properties for which structures have been secured aqainst entry, or for the
abatement of certain weeds, debds and waste matter. The subject properties were in violation of the
Municipal Code prohibiting abandoned dilapidated structures, and hazardous weeds, debris, and waste
matter. The property owners were notified and failed to comply with the notices to abate such
nuisances. After a headng duly noticed before the Building Director, the Director issued orders requiring
the property owner to abate such public nuisance. The Council will need to confirm costs incurred by
the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance so that such costs be made a lien against
the property. The Council, it its discretion, may amend, alter, modify, or correct the assessment as they
deem just.
Item 9b. General Plan Amendment P98-0760; Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report:
Resolution adopting the Specific Plan Line; and Amend Zoning Ordinance for the south Beltwav corridor
is located oenerallv from Interstate-5 to State Route-58. The 2010 General Plan calls for the adoption
of four freeway alignments to form a beltway around metropolitan Bakersfield. One of the alignments
to be adopted is the South Beltway. This alignment is entering the 10th year in the process to adopt
a specific plan line. The alignment before the Council represents the best alternative that meets the
pdmary goals of the 2010 General Plan while minimizing its impacts on people and property. There is
some opposition to this alignment by local property owners, but it is the alignment that is least opposed
overall. The recommended line is now almost entirely outside City limits, but has full support by County
staff, who have been involved in all meetings regarding the alignment. There are four separate actions
to be considered in this item: 1) certification of the final EIR for the General Plan Amendment and the
South Beltway specific plan line; 2) a General Plan Amendment setting the South Beltway
transportation corridor or alignment, which would be shown as a freeway on a circulation element map;
3) a resolution adopting the specific plan line as the transportation corridor; and 4) amend the zoning
ordinance which will permit oil and gas extraction activities to continue within the specific plan line.
REPORTS

the meeting, numerous comments were received from speakers, both in favor and opposed to the
proposed dairy project. Committee members discussed the information presented and outlined a
resolution regarding the proposed Borba dairies. The Urban Development Committee recommends
the adoption of the resolution. The resolution is positively intended to encourage the dairy to relocate

Item 11a. Ordinance amendinq the Bakersfield Municipal Code related to Adult Entertainment
Businesses. This ordinance will eliminate inconsistencies in the code. Several provisions will also be
added which apply to prospective adult amades (booths), mini-motion picture theaters, and live
entertainment theaters. These provisions include sections on access, separation of patrons and
performers, and the configurations of future arcades. There is also a section which will restrict doors
on such prospective structures. Finally, the chapter of the code which regulates nude entertainment
has been modified in light of state law which preempts many of the current sections. As such, ~he
proposed ordinance would repeal these sections and re-name the chapter to "Public Decency." This
is the second reading of the ordinance.

Dwelling to Planned Commercial Development to allow development of a 102,222 square foot shopping
center. The City Council approved a commercial general plan amendment in November 1999 for the
project area. On February 17, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending
approval of the zone change requested by Coleman Homes, Inc. No one spoke in opposition to the
zone change at the Planning Commission hearing: Based upon an initial environmental assessment,
staff has determined the proposed project will not significantly affect the physical environment or existing
residential development in the area. This is the second reading of the ordinance.

Presentation by Economic and Community Development Department Regarding Consolidated
Plan 2005.
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
In order to continue receiving funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Department (HUD), the City must prepare a Consolidated Plan. This document is a 5-year strategic plan for
addressing the housing, community and economic development needs of the City. The Consolidated Plan
provides the framework for a community planning process to identify housing, homeless, special population,
and community and economic development needs and resources to meet those needs. In May 1995 the City
Council approved the City Consolidated Plan and it is set to expire June 30, 2000.
Since April 1999, Economic and Community Development staff has been working on the new 5-year
Consolidated Plan which has included community input and involvement throughout all aspects of the
planning process. The workshop to be presented, will provide an overview of the consolidated planning
process, and the proposed projects included in the annual Action Plan FY 2000/01. The projects proposed
in the Action Plan were reviewed by the Budget and Finance Committee at their February 7, 2000 meeting
As part of the consolidated planning process, staff published a public notice on March 21, 2000 requesting
public comments and recommendation on the Consolidated Plan. After the end of the comment period ,(April
21, 2000) the final Consolidated Plan will be brought back for City Council action April 26, 2000.

Resolution authorizing an application for $80,226 grant funding for Used Oil Recycling.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
On June 11, 1997, Council approved Resolution No. 90-97, authorizing staff to submit an application for a
used oil recycling block grant. On May 26, 1998, the California Integrated Waste Management Board
(CIWMB) approved the grant and, on June 16, 1999, the City Council accepted the grant. In October 1999,
the City received a check from CIWMB for $219,280 with which to implement the terms and conditions of the
grant.
The purpose of the grant is to encourage the recycling of used motor oil to prevent its careless misuse and
subsequent potential for contaminating soil and drinking water supplies. Collection of used motor oil and used
oil filters from the roughly 63,000 homes will be achieved citywide. Pickups will be performed by appointment
only. To participate, homeowners can call the Solid Waste Division to arrange for a pickup at the curb. (No
alley service will be provided, nor will homeowners be permitted to bring their used oil directly to the City
Corporation Yard.)
As a continuation of the program, the CIWMB is now requesting an application for Block Grant fundi:ng of
$80,226. Upon Council approval, staff can apply for this funding, which would make possible the continuation
of curbside recycling of used oil and used oil filters for FY 2000-01.

Resolution Approving Application for $60,000 in State Funds for Recycling Bewsrage
Containers
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Adoption of Resolution
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Section 14581 (a)(4)(A) of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reductio~n Act,
the Department of Conservation's Division of Recycling is required to distribute a total of $10.5 million to
eligible cities and counties for beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities.

Bakersfield College, California State University, Fred L. Thompson Junior High, Tevis Junior High, Valley
Plaza, Lowell Park and Westchester Shopping Center. All revenues from the sale of recyclables become
property of the site hosts.
If approved, the attached Resolution would authorize staff to apply for $60,000 in additional funding for FY
2000-01, that would be used to supplement the dropoff recycling program, which costs $190,000 this. year
to operate.

Agreement with William Avery & Associates, Inc., in the amount of $27,600.00, for Negotiation
and Consultant Services in Employer-Employee Relations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
On February 24, 1997, the City Council approved Mr. Avery's consulting agreement for a three year period
ending March, 2000. Mr. Avery has had a long history with the City (almost 20 years) providing consultation
in labor negotiations and ongoing labor relations issues. Mr. Avery has been very successful in bu~ilding
positive working relationships between employee labor groups, staff and Council. He also has a unique
understanding of the City's labor relations history and knowledge of past labor practices. Mr. Avery's annual
fee has remained at the same level or lower since 1992. This agreement implements a 9.5% increase to an
annual fee of $27,600.00. The amount for travel and lodging is a not to exceed amount of $8,000, which is
only $500.00 more than in 1995. This contract is retroactive to March 1,2000 as all contract terms had not
been finalized before now.
We are scheduled to start discussions with the Police Unit and the Fire Unit concerning an amendment to our
PERS contract to provide for 3% at age 50 in the next few weeks. Within a short time after that, we are
scheduled to begin the next cycle of negotiations with Police Supervisory and will need to prepare our labor
negotiations strategy prior to that time. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.

Agreement with Golden Construction & Excavation, $18,077.00, for removal and replacement
of manhole shafts on Ashe Road between Panama Lane and Harris Road. (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: Developer Castle & Cooke was required to do construction on Ashe Road between
Panama Lane and Harris Road. As part of our regular inspection of the roadway, it was determined that
existing manholes located on Ashe Road had become deteriorated beyond repair.
Due to the nature of Castle & Cooke's roadway improvements, and time constraints to complete paving of the
roadway, staff directed Castle & Cooke's contractor Golden Construction & Excavation, to remove and replace
the manhole shafting before the roadway was paved. This agreement allows for the payment of that 'work.
Had City not elected to have the work done immediately, it would have cost significantly more money to repair
after the roadway was constructed and paved.
Funding for this project is available in the Streets Sewer Maintenance Section.

Agreement with Castle & Cooke for Acquisition and Development of Park Site in Expanded
Seven Oaks Community. ~/ard ~+}
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approvaJ of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
On November 3, 1999, City Council passed Resolution No. 164-99 which approved a general plan
amendment and concurrent zone change consisting of the relocation and reconfiguration of a six-acre park
located in an area commonly referred to as the Expanded Seven Oaks Community. In general, this area is
located approximately 400 feet north of White Lane (extended) and approximately one-quarter mile west of
Buena Vista Road in the City of Bakersfield. The attached Agreement confirms the obligation of Castle &
Cooke California, Inc. ("CCC") to develop and dedicate a park in this area pursuant to Chapters 15.80 and
15.82 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code.
The attached Agreement provides for the conveyance oftitle from CCC to the City, requires CCC to
post a bond for the park pending its construction, provides that the park must be constructed within a certain
time-frame, and identifies the amenities for the park and guarantees workmanship.
Under the terms of the proposed Agreement, this park will be completed the latter of December 31,
2001 or prior to the issuance of more than 300 building permits within the Expanded Seven Oaks Comrnunity.

SUBJECT:
Agreement with County of Kern, State of California, $25,000, for at-grade crossing
improvements on "L" Street regarding the Bakersfield Amtrak Station project. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: As part of the overall Amtrak Station project, the City had to enter into an agreement with
the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad (BNSF). One of the terms of the agreement is for the City to close
a number of at-grade crossings, including "F" Street and a private crossing that the County now uses on "K"
Street. Since the private crossing (that is now used by the County on" K" Street) has a certain function for
both the Court Building and the Sheriffs Facility, additional improvements had to be made at their main "L"
Street access point. This agreement allows for those improvements to be constructed and reimburse the
County $25,000 therefor.
In addition, the agreement also stipulates that the City will make other improvements such as signage to direct
jurors and other citizens parking in the lots south of the BNSF mainline to utilize the Chester Avenue
pedestrian crossing in the event a train is blocking the "L' Street crossing. Also included are improvements
for additional safety lights to the Chester Avenue crossing for pedestrian safety.
Funds for this agreement currently exist within the Amtrak Station project fund. The County, through its Board
of Supervisors action, has already approved this agreement; therefore, staff recommends approval of the
agreement.

Agreement with GRC Associates, Inc. for $24,750 to conduct a fiscal impact study. (WARD
1 &2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to fully understand the potential impact of the "City Center" concept, staff is proposing that a
consultant be retained by the City of Bakersfield. The product that would be generated would attempt to
quantify what impact such a project may have on public tax revenues. The analysis will also try to define
indirect tax revenues due to added hotel room nights and restaurant sales. Further, the study will estimate
new employment and payroll added to the community. It will also analyze the value of the elimination of blight
existing at the site of the conceptual project. Finally, the consultant will offer an opinion as to the positive or
negative impacts of the project as conceptualized on further improvements to the downtown.
Staff is of the opinion that the firm being recommended, GRC Associates, Inc. and its principle, are uniquely
qualified to perform this service for the City of Bakersfield in that they successfully delivered the "Bakersfield
Downtown Economic Development Project" completed in June 1999. Given this firm's knowledge of the
Bakersfield market and their familiarity with the study area significant time savings are realized.
It should also be pointed out that the consultant already has significant raw data in hand thus reducing cost
associated with base research and area familiarization.
The cost of the fiscal impact study is estimated at $24,750 excluding printing, copying, and third-party data
that may need to still be acquired. The analysis should take five weeks following the receipt of written
authorization to proceed.

Property Acquisition:
Approve Purchase Agreement, $2,500 with Ledinila Quimpo to acquire real property
located at the terminus of Ohio Drive for additional street right-of-way to provide access to
nearby residential properties. ( Ward I )
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: This area was part of the Union 10 annexation on November 10, 1994. After receiving
information from the Solid Waste Department of a blockage at the end of Ohio Drive, it was discovered that
the dirt access stdp at the terminus of Ohio Drive was never dedicated as a County road. This is the only
access for several properties at the end of the strip. Further investigation revealed the property was sold at
County Tax auction on July 27, 1999 to Ledinila Quimpo.
Acquisition of this property will provide public access to several properties that currently depend on an
unpaved private access strip. The Streets Division of the Public Works Department will pave this as a public
street after its acquisition.
On April 17, 2000, the Planning Commission will be asked to find the acquisition of this property consistent
with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.

Carroll's Tire Warehouse: (Ward 4)
Amendment No. 1, $22,210, to Agreement No. 99-324 with Carroll's Tire Warehouse
for reimbursement of the cost of the 12" sewer line at the northeast corner of Rosedale
Highway and Coffee Road.
Appropriation of $22,210 Fund Balance to the Capital Improvement Budget within the
Sewer Enterprise Fund. (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amendment and appropriation,
BACKGROUND: Carroll's Tiro Warohouse at the northeast corner of Rosedale Highway and Coffee Road
is required to extend the sewer line across the frontage of their property. The original agreement was to
roimburse Carroll's for the difference in cost between the 12" line requirod by the City and an 8" line normally
roquirod of the developer. Since Carroll's could have connected to the sewer without extending the sewer line
the City is reimbursing Carroll's for the entire cost of the 12" line. This amendment increases the
roimbursement amount to from $13,531 to $22,210.

Installation of traffic signal and lighting system on Brimhall Road at Jewetta Avenue. (Wrard 4).
Contract Change Orders Nos. 1 through 7, $54,011.63, to Contract No. 99-166 with
Griffith Company.
Appropriate $50,000 Fund Balance to the Capital Improvement Budget within the
Transportation Development Fund
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the contract change orders and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: This project improved and widened the intersection of Brimhall Road and Jewetta Avenue,
provided signalization of the intersection, and widened a portion of Brimhall Road east of the intersection.
While the traffic signal was being designed by a consultant for the City, staff became aware that two adjacent
property owners, Castle and Cooke and North Bakersfield Recreation and Parks District (NBRPD), were also
preparing plans for improvement of their frontages along Brimhall Road. To better coordinate efforts and to
save costs through economy of scale, Agreement 99-30 was entered into by the City, Castle and Cooke, and
NBRPD to construct a combined project that included the traffic signal as well as widening Brimhall Road
along Castle and Cooke and NBRPD's frontages.
This project was accelerated so that the traffic signal would be in operation for the first day of school for Liberty
High School, located one block south of the intersection. This acceleration caused additional work and costs
for the contractor, and a portion of the change orders ($5,333.59) is related to this accelerated schedule. In
addition, Engineering staff redesigned the pavement elevations through the intersection to provide a smoother
ride for vehicles traveling through the intersection, and this resulted in additional work and costs for the
contractor ($9,895.19). However, the major portion of the change orders is due to discrepancies or omissions
on the consultant prepared plans ($23,545.09) or inaccurate quantities determined by the consultant for
bidding purposes ($15,237.76). The consultant has agreed to pay $3,641.00 for Change Order No. 1, the
proportionate share of the change orders for the NBRPD is $26,159.60, and Castle and Cooke's proportionate
share is $5,756.16, leaving the City with a proportionate share of $18,454.87 for the change orders. In
accordance with Agreement 99-30, funds for the change orders from the other parties involved have either
been received or are awaiting receipt.
The appropriation combined with remaining project funds will cover all remaining costs for the projecL

equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends acceptance of bid.
BACKGROUND: In September, 1995, the City of Bakersfield implemented a program to equip all traffic
signals within its jurisdictional boundaries to accommodate a traffic signal pre-emption system. The
Bakersfield Fire Department and the Public Works Department, Traffic Division, participated in the testing of
three major pre-emption systems. After the testing was completed, the committee decided that Opticorn has
the best system, presented its findings and recommendations to Council, and the City has now standardized
on that system. The manufacturer is 3M (who does not bid direct to users), and the distributor is John C.
Henberger Company.

Authorization of a Letter to be sent to the California Trade and Commerce Agency expressing
the City's Interest in Applying for a Five Year Extension of the Enterprise Zone. (Wards 1 and
2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff to send a letter to the California Trade and Commerce Agency indicating the City of Bakersfield
intends to submit an application for a five year extension of the Southeast Metropolitan Bakersfield Enterprise
Zone.
BACKGROUND:
The fifteen year designation of the Southeast Metropolitan Bakersfield Enterprise Zone expires on October
14, 2001. However, our zone is eligible for a five year extension.
To begin the extension process, the California Trade and Commerce Agency needs a Letter of Intent from the
City of Bakersfield agreeing to participate in the extension process and meet all of the application requirements
and deadlines as outlined in the application handbook.
This is a non-binding letter that will not commit us to applying should our interests change.
A thorough extension process has been established by the California Trade and Commerce Agency. This
process includes submitting,
1. a detailed explanation describing the need for an extension of the zone;
2. environmental documentation, such as negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or
environmental impact report;
3. an updated Economic Development Plan including,
a. a detailed marketing plan;
b. an overview of financing programs available in the zone;
c. employment, job creation and vouchering services;
d. planning and incentives; and
e. program management, including staffing.

In the 2000-2001 budget proposal, this department plans to request funds for hiring a consultant to assist with
the extension application process.
Because our zone is jointly-administered With the County of Kern, the county will submit a separate letter
indicating their intent to apply for an extension. On February 15, the Kern County Board of Supervisors
authorized such a letter be sent on the County's behalf.
Should the Council indicate its willingness to pursue an extension of the Enterprise Zone, City and County staff
will work together to prepare a joint application and continue sharing in the costs of enterprise zone
administration.
The deadline for submitting an application for extension is March 14, 2001.

Final Environmental Impact Report, General Plan Amendment P98-0760, Specific Plan Line
and Ordinance. The South Beltway corridor is located within the central portion of Kern
County, crossing east-west, south of the City of Bakersfield for approximately 26 miles from
Interstate-5 (I-5) to State Route-58 (SR-58). (Ward 1)
Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report for General Plan Amen<'lment
P98-0760 and the South Beltway Specific Plan Line
General Plan Amendment P98-0760 is the South Beltway Transportation Corridor
alignment which would be shown as a "freeway" on the Circulation Element map of
the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.
Resolution adopting the Specific Plan Line is an exact descripti~)n of the 26 mile long
and 300 foot wide transportation corridor.
Amend Zoning Ordinance, Section 17.55.030 of Municipal Code which will permit oil
and gas extraction activities to continues within the specific plan line.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report; adopt resolutions transmitting
General Plan Amendment P98-0760 and Specific Plan Line to Kern County for action by the F3oard
of Supervisors; and first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The following is a brief history of the South Beltway.
The Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan calls for the adoption of four freeway alignments to
form a "beltway" around the Bakersfield Metropolitan area. One of the alignments to be adopted is
the South Beltway. This alignment is entering the 10th year in the process to adopt a specific plan
line.
March 21, 2000, 3:26PM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
The Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan calls for the adoption of four freeway alignments
to form a "beltway" around the Bakersfield Metropolitan area. One of the alignments to be
adopted is the South Beltway. This alignment is entering the 10th year in the public review
process to adopt a specific plan line.
Specific plan lines are an exact description of the freeway right-of-way to be protected from
development. The goal is to adopt a transportation corridor linking Interstate 5 with Highway 58
while serving the southern metropolitan area. This alignment would reduce traffic from local
streets and create a link in the beltway system as set forth in the Metropolitan Bakersfield 20'10
Plan. The specific plan lines for the Kern River Freeway and the Western Beltway are already
adopted, the next alignment in the specific plan line program is the Eastern beltway along
Comanche Drive.
The South Beltway alignment is 26 miles long and three hundred feet wide. The right-of-way
needs to be defined and preserved to avoid conflicts with development and provide for
coordination of planning for circulation and land use as required by state law. Given the trends
for development and traffic growth the need for the South Beltway's construction will become
critical sometime after 2020. Considering the time it takes to satisfy state and federal planning,
engineering and construction of freeways the city, county and Kern COG need to finalize
agreement of this alignment as soon as possible.
The applicants for this project are the City of Bakersfield, the County of Kern and the Kern
Council of Governments. There have been 10 public meetings at the Planning Commission (just
within the last 3 years) with more than 20 hours of public testimony. This does not include
special workshops, presentations by staff and planning commission committee meetings.
The Alignments
The FEIR considered a wide corridor for the candidate alignments. Several alignments were
considered and property owners (about 5,000) were notified within 2,640 feet of all alternatives.
This departure from the typical notification procedure was done to inform all the nearby property
owners of the possible areas through which the freeway might pass and permit minor movements
of the alignment in response to concerns of the public.
Staff initially recommended an alignment closest to the existing metropolitan area because the
closer the freeway to the population center the more effective the road is in reducing traffic on~
local roads (I.e. Panama Lane, Hosking Road, Berkshire Road, McKee Road), which is a
principal traffic concern of the city's.
The staff's alignment is often referred to as the Hosking Road alignment. This alternative
received heavy public opposition at the December 1998 Planning Commission meeting. Of all the
alignments this would take the most homes (60 to 70 homes), goes through the most tentative
tracts (3) and has far more development immediately adjacent to the alignment than any other
alternative.

The Planning Commission directed staff to review a different alignment that became known as
the Engle Road alignment. Staff and consultant did field work and environmental documentation
necessary for closer consideration. This Engle Road alignment also met with heavy opposition
during the December 1999 public hearing and the Planning Commission sent the alignment to
committee.
The Planning Commission committee selected an alignment which took into account various
concerns raised during the many hours of public testimony. The Committee's alignment had by far
the least opposition of any of the previous alignments. The fewest homes were taken (about 10)
and the least development was adjacent the alignment.
Prior to the hearing on this alignment, city and county staff met with individual property owners
to resolve problems raised concerning the committee's alignment. In response to these concerns
staff recommended several changes to the committee's alignment in an attempt to miss houses
and public facilities.
The alignment proposed by the committee/staff was changed by the full Planning Commission
along Di Giorgio Road between Union Avenue and Adobe Road (moved slightly north) in
response to concerns raised at the public hearing of February 17, 2000. All movements of the
alignment attempted to move the specific plan line off a house or public facility and onto open
agricultural land. In no case did staff or the commission knowingly move the alignment from one
set of houses onto another.
These alignments were never entirely new but rather mostly incorporated portions of previous
alignments. Even the Planning Commission's recommended alignment sent to the Council
shares large portions of previous alignments which have been under consideration for years.
There is an Environmental Impact Report prepared for this project. There has not been much
controversy associated with it because it has been prepared using assumptions that all the
alignments in south Bakersfield have certain significant impacts (i.e., traffic, air quality, agricultural
land conversion) regardless of the exact location of the alignment.
The purpose of the proposed zoning ordinance would allow continuation of current oil and ga,~;
exploration and production and such future exploration and production within the specific plan
line. Such oil and gas activities are permitted by dght within the specific plan line and would
continue to be permitted by right. The ordinance amendment was proposed by Enron Oil, Inc,
holder of mineral rights over a significant geographic area within the alternative alignments.
Enron has agreed to the ordinance amendment language.
The alignment before the Council represents the best alignment that meets the primary goals of
the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan while minimizing its impacts on people and
property to the greatest degree possible. There is opposition to this alignment by some of the
affected property owners.
Significant unavoidable impacts, after mitigation, include the following: loss of prime agricultural
land, growth inducing impacts, potential visual resources impacts and potential impacts to
infrastructure.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 4
Correspondence from Arvin-Edison Water District (dated February 14, 2000) states that the
alignment runs through four miles of the District and may impact two pipelines and cross two
canals. The recommended alignment is preferable to the "original preferred alignment"; however
this alignment may impact the districts's main pumping plant facilities and such facilities must be
protected at all costs and the district must be protected from any liability associated with building a
freeway. When it becomes necessary to precisely position the corridor, the District would
appreciate further consultation. The District understands that growers may be interested in a
workshop to discuss alignment options.
The recommended alignment is now almost entirely outside City limits but has the full support of
County staff who have been involved in all the meetings regarding the alignment. The City has
been the lead agency because the most heavily developed area the original alignment went
through is located within the City and the greatest development pressure in south Bakersfield is all
within City limits. There is a great need to settle the location of the freeway to both provide
certainty in regional planning for land use and circulation in the area and to avoid having
development preclude any alignment in the southern Bakersfield area.

An Ordinance Amending Sections 5.06.010 and 5.06.060 and Chapter 9.12 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code and Adding Sections 5.06.062, 5.06.064, 5.06.066, 5.06.068 and 5.06.069 to
the Bakersfield Municipal Code Relating to Adult Entertainment Businesses.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Currently, Chapter 5.06, which regulates adult entertainment businesses, defines certain terms
differently than Chapter 17.69, which relates to the location of adult entertainment businesses. This ordinance
eliminates the inconsistencies by having the definitions in Chapter 5.06 match the definitions in Chapter 17.69.
In addition, this ordinance adds several provisions to Chapter 5.06 to apply to prospectivE; adult
arcades (booths), mini-motion picture theaters, and live entertainment theaters. Such provisions include a
section on access, separation of patrons and performers, and the configuration of future arcades. There is
also a section which makes doors on such prospective structures strictly prohibited. A severability clause has
also been included to protect the remaining portions of the ordinance if a section is found to be unenforceable.
Finally, Chapter 9.12, which regulates nude entertainment, has been revamped in light of state law,
which preempts many of the current sections. As such, the ordinance recommends repeal of these sections
and the renaming of the Chapter to "Public Decency."
This ordinance received first reading at the City Council Meeting of March 15, 2000.

SUBJECT:
An ordinance amending title seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and Zoning Map
Nos. 122-01 and 123-06 by changing the zoning from an R-l(One Family Dwelling) zone to
a PCD (Planned Commercial Development) zone on 13.65 acres generally located south of
Stockdale Highway, west of Buena Vista Road to allow a 102,222 square foot neighbo~rhood
shopping center (ZC P99-0919). (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On March 15, 2000, the City Council held first reading of the ordinance.
At that time Councilman Couch asked if several design issues could be addressed by more specific
conditions. Upon review it was found that some were already in place, some were to be more
specifically dealt with in later review and that any substantive changes would need to be addressed
in a noticed public hearing. Therefore, the ordinance is resubmitted for adoption as presented at first
reading.
The request is to change the zoning on 13.65 acres from R-1 (One Family Dwelling) to PCD (Planned
Commercial Development) to allow development of a 102,222 square foot shopping center. On
February 17, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending approval of the
zone change request by Coleman Homes, Inc.
The City Council approved a commercial general plan amendment in November 1999 for the project
area with a requirement for the property to be developed with a PCD plan to allow Planning
Commission and Council review of shopping center plans.
Proposed plans provide additional landscaping, buffers from future residential areas, noise mitigation
features, and circulation strategies to address compatibility with adjacent residential neighborhoods.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
Signage for the project would be approved through the Planning Commission's Comprehensive Sign
Plan process.
No one spoke in opposition to the zone change request at the Planning Commission hearing.
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff has determined the proposed project will not
significantly affect the physical environment or existing residential development in the area, therefore,
a Negative Declaration was prepared and the initial Study is attached as Exhibit "B".
The impacts of urbanization of the area have also been the subject of public hearing for the Buena
Vista/Kern River Ranch EiR, General Plan Amendment P99-0203, and Tentative Tract 5951, all or
a portion of which covered urban impacts on the project site. Special studies supplied with the PCD
application and made part of the initial study include an updated traffic study and an acoustical
analysis. Mitigation measures (listed as conditions) from previous environmental documents have
been carried through and applied to this project as appropriate.
All required public notices have been provided.
