include:
Resolutions:
Item 8c. Additional suites at the Centennial Garden Arena: Resolutions determining that seatin~
cabinets, shelves, door frames, doors, and window walls for three additional suites at the Centennial
Garden Arena cannot be reasonably obtained throuqh usual bidding procedures and authorizinR
the Finance Director to dispense with bidding. In order to make sure the seats are comparable to
others in the arena and to expedite the manufacturing of cabinets, shelves, door frames, doors and
window walls to complete the new suites before the next ice hockey and basketball season, staff
is recommending the Finance Director dispense with the usual bidding procedures for seats, not
to exceed $6,950, and purchase the remaining fixtures outside the construction contract, not to
exceed $40,050. This will provide for a unifying theme for all suites. Staff wilt not place orders until

Item 8d. Resolution determining that airplane for use by the Police Department for ground
operation investiqations cannot be obtained through the usual biddinq procedures and authorizinq
the Finance Director to dispense with biddinq, not to exceed $162,805. Purchase of this airplane
would replace the Police Department's 1978 Bellanca AK-AB aircraft. This aircraft is 22 years old
and in need of major repairs. Based upon the unique needs of the department and after a search
was made to determine aircraft which meet the specifications and requirements, staff has
determined the Citabria Scout is the only aircraft located which meets the specifications. Staff is
recommending Council authorize the Finance Director to dispense with bidding in order to acquire
the aircraft through this sole source.
Item 8e. Resolution authodzinq deferral of assessment fl~r Roy Degeer on pamet within City of
Bakersfield Assessment District No. 91-1 (Hoskinq Trunk Sewer). The owner of a parcel within
Distdct 91-1 had a portion of his assessment deferred by the City Council on September 19, 1992
and every year since then. The City has received a letter from Mr. Degeer, the current owner,
requesting deferment because this property does not currently impact the sewer facilities.
Item 8f. Resolution adopting the Mastel' Ptan for the City of Bakersfield Department of Recreation
and Parks for 2000-2005. This resolution adopts the Master Plan for the Department of Recreation
and Parks, which was presented to the City Council at a workshop on April 26, 2000. This plan
provides Bakersfield with the purpose and direction to provide quality recreation facilities and
programs. Having an adopted plan in place will meet the application requirements of many private
and public funders for grants.
Item 8q. Resolution authofizinq Mayor-Elect Harvey Hall to attend Leaque of California Cities 2000
Mayors and Coundl Members Executive Forum. This resolution provides authorization for Mayor-
Elect Hall to attend the upcoming Mayors and Council Members conference. The estimated cost
to attend is $1,500. These funds would be included in the Mayor's fiscal year 2000-01 budget.
Item 8h. Resolution requesting State of California financial support in capping the Bakersfield
Sanitary Landfill. Since the landfill closure is an environmental issue that extends beyond local
boundaries and Councilmembers Maggard and Rowles requested that we solicit State assistance
in this matter, this resolution requests State financial assistance with the cost associated with
capping the Bakersfield Sanitary Landfill.
item 8i. Fiscal Year 1999-00 budqet amendments. This resolution is to amend the current year's
budget to reflect Council authorized actions that were taken between January 12 and June 14,
2000. This action is a cleanup matter to accurately reflect previous actions taken by the Council
in the City's budget.
item 8j. Amendment to Memorandum of U~derstanding for the Blue and White Collar Units creating
a new job spedfication: Program Coordinator. The Recreation and Parks Department has a need
for an entry level Program Coordinator position. This classification will conduct recreation programs.
It is being presented to the City Council first in order to expedite the processing of this job
specification, which is needed as soon as possible. Staff is recommending adoption of the
resolution and approval of the new job specification contingent upon Miscellaneous Civil Service
Board approval. S.E.I.U. concurs with the proposed recommendation. This new job title is related
to the conversion of temporary employees.

Agreements:
Item 81. Agreement with the Bakersfield City School District for mutual use of facilities. This
proposed agreement provides for mutual use of facilities between the City and the School District.
In return for using school sites, the City would make public pools available to the district through the
issuance of free pool passes. These passes will be issued to district students who have perfect
attendance each week during summer school. The district board approved the agreement on
June 6, 2000.
Item 8m. Metropolitan Bakersfield Transportation Systems Study. The Kern Council of
Governments (Kern COG) awarded a contract to URS Greiner-Woodward Clyde to provide a
transportation systems study for Metropolitan Bakersfield. This agreement provides for the
reimbursement of expenses for Engi~r~eering Services Manager Jack LaRochelle as technical
oversight person for the study.
Item 8n. Amendment to agreement with Bakersfield Senior Citizens Center for roof replacement.
This amendment allows for the use of savings in the amount of $3,863.08 from the roof project to
make accessibility improvements to the facility by the Bakersfield Senior Center.
Item 8o. Amendment to aqreement between Ogden Entertainment, Inc., Cai State Bakersfield
Foundation and the City of Bakersfield reqarding additional suite revenue distribution. This lease
amendment provides for the addition of the three new suites at the concourse level to Centennial
Garden. The odginal agreement with Cai State Bakersfield did not contemplate more than 24
suites, so the amendment states how the revenue from those additional suites will be distributed.
In exchange for 12 tickets per suite to all CSUB games, the Foundation will be paid an additional
$1,250 per suite for each of the first three years. After that, the City will have recovered the nearly
$300,000 capital investment and the Foundation's compensation will go to $2,500 per year, or
whatever amount is negotiated in connection with the lease renewal. In essence, they are over the
three year amortization period of the suites, taking half their annual payment for the 12 tickets per
suite to help us pay off the capital costs. Should the project not proceed, for example if the bids
come in too high, the amendment becomes meaningless and there will be no cost or obligation.
Item 8p. Amendment to agreement with Kern Economic Development Corporation for Economic
Development in Kern County in the amount of $60,000. The existing agreement between the City
and Kern Economic Development Corporation (KEDC) expires June 30, 2000. The existing
agreement was for a three year term. This amendment extends the term for one year to June 30,
2001. All other terms and conditions of the existing agreemen[ would remain in effect.
Item 8q. Amendment to agreement with Tiburon, Inc. regarding software maintenance services for
the City's Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Manaqement Systems for $38,199. This
amendment provides for software maintenance for the Police Department's Computer Aided
Dispatch and Records Management Systems. The contract includes a one-time credit as a result
of the installation of the new CAD System in October; therefore, there is no charge for that service
only for the Records Management System during the term of this agreement.
item 8r. Resurfacinq various local streets 1999-2000, Phases I and 2. These contract change
orders are primarily for increases in tonnage of asphalt concrete placed on these projects. Staff
recently revised the asphalt concrete specification to provide a more durable material. Due to this
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
June 9, 2000
Page -4-
change, the total project cost increased over what had been estimated due to the unit weight issue.
Funds for the change orders will come from savings from oth,.=r completed projects, so no additional
appropriations are necessary.
Item 8s. Determination that the Proposed Exclusive Negotiation Agreement for a project along
California Avenue, between M and S Streets, is exempt from the provision of CECIA. The City
Council recently approved the Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project Area. A portion of that
project area is the subject of an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement. This agreement by itself
does not mean actual development will occur, but it is merely an agreement to negotiate in good
faith with the possibility that some development may occur. The determination that the agreemen~t
is exempt from the provisions of CEQA provides the environmental clearance for the Bakersfield
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) to enter into the agreement. This agreement requires the developer
to fund a thorough environmental study before any further action will be taken by the RDA.
Bids:
Item 8t. Annual bid award to Wdbur Ellis Company for chemicat insecticide and herbicides for the
Parks and Water Divisions, not to exceed $162,154. One bidder provided the lowest price on the

for building inspections and posting inspection results. It is also compatible with the City's
Computerized Permit System. Two proposals from vendors were received and staff is
recommending award to Selectron, Inc.
Item 8x. Bid award to Scales Construction, Inc. to reconstruct sanitary sewer manholes at Brimhall
Road - Windsong Ddve to 700 feet west of Coffee Road in the amount of $137,987.98. While
preparing for a street widening project on Brimhall Road from Windsong Drive to 700 feet west of
Coffee Road, staff discovered that the existing sanitary sewer manholes along this road had
deteriorated. This unbudgeted project will reconstruct those manholes prior to the street widening
project. Staff received two bids and is recommending award to Scales Construction, Inc. Staff

received onIy one bid, which was in excess of available funds for the construction of the project.

an additive bid alternate and will re-advertise the project.
Miscellaneous:
Item 8cc. Appropriate $15,900 contributions from several local businesses to the General Services
Operatinq Budqet for anti-graffiti educational and promotional activities. Several local businesses
have made donations to the anti-graffiti program for the purpose of conducting and expanding anti-
graffiti educational and promotional activities. This item appropriates those funds for use by the
General Services Department.
Item 8dd. Development of Fundinq Plan for the Bakerafield Landfill Closure Project. At the

requires that certain pre-condemnation requirements be met. Each of these requirements have
been met by the City and are set forth in the Resolution of Necessity. The City is considering
acquisition of this property to expand public parking for the Centennial Garden Arena/Convention
Center complex to address traffic issues related to the new "Q" Street Underpass and traffic flows
for the Convention Center complex parking areas. This is also a blighted area and immediately
adjoins the Food Bank facility, which the City is also acquiring for expanded parking. The required
notice was provided to each property owner. It is important to note that while the adoption of the
resolution is the first step in eminent domain proceedings, this does not necessarily mean that the
City will be forced to take any of the listed property by condemnation. Negotiations for the purchase
of the property are continuing and staff is hopeful that the City will be able to purchase the property
without having to resort to eminent domain proceedings.
Item 9i. Publlic Headng for the FY 2000-01 Operatin~,__Redevelopment and CIP budgets. Each
year a public headng is required prior to adoption of the budget to hear public comment. The final
adoption of the budget is schedulled for June 28, 2000. Prior to this public hearing, individual
department presentations were made to the Council on May 15, 22, and 24, 2000.

exception of allowing a church in a C-O zone, which was referred by the Urban Development
Committee, to address minor problem areas and to update sections to be consistent with State law
and perform other cleanup measures to correct inconsistencies caused by previous text

amendments. Changes in this ordinance include: a change to daycare definitions in order to reflect
current State law; a change to accessory building regulations to be consistent with the Building
Code and improve flexibility for property owners when placing these buildings on their property,
which should reduce the number of complaints received regarding taller structures being placed on
a property line, requiring that they be set back; a change to the separation requirement between
commercial/industrial development and residential uses when separated by a street to allow more
flexibility by the Development Services Director during the site plan hearing process; a change to
the nonprofit special event sign regulations to prohibit Cacing in residential zones and to limit events
consistent with for~profit businesses; and other ordinance changes which are cleanup in nature.
A change allowing a church as a permitted use in a C-O zone was referred to the Planning
Commission by the Urban Development Committee. The Planning Commission has found this to
be an acceptable permitted use and is recommending it be added in the C-O zone. These
amendments were forwarded to the Building Industry Association and Association of Builders for
comments. No comments were received and the Planning Commission approved the changes by
a unanimous vote.
Item 12b. Ordinance relatinq to the creation of a Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee. The
Council approved a Beautification Program to be certified by the National Keep America Beautiful,
Inc. Part of the certification includes the formation of a Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee. This
change to the Municipal Code fulfills this requirement. Team 2 of the Leadership Bakersfield Class
of 2000 has taken an active role in getting the ordinance together and presenting it to the City
Council. Under the ordinance the City Council will appoint the City Manager or his designee as the
committee coordinator. The committee will be comprised of seven Council appointed members who
will take on the responsibility for the beautification program. The committee will recommend policies
and programs, which achieve the Keep Bakersfield Committee mission.
Item 12c. Proposed User Fees pursuant to the Cost Recovery System. State law requires new
fees and charges as well as increases in existing fees and charges be adopted by ordinance or
resolution following a public headng. Staff has provided a summary of changes for the Master Fee
Schedule and a copy of the proposed Master Fee Schedule including all service centers. The
proposed rate increases generally ere consistent with inflation. In cases where that does not apply,
an explanation or justification is provided by staff. One area of increased fees was the Aquatics
Program, which was pdmadly due to increases in the State and Federal minimum wage laws. The
Master Fee Schedule was reviewed by the Budget and Finance Committee. Councilmember
Maggard had some questions regardincj the cost for the required training to become a first-time life
guard with the City. Staff met with Councilmember Maggard to resolve his questions regarding this
issue. Pursuant to State law, the proposed fee schedule is being placed on the agenda as a public
meeting for the Council to receive public input regarding the proposed fees. The required public
headng will be scheduled for the Council meeting of June 28th for the purpose of receiving additional
input and the Council may then consider adoption of the fees by resolution.

Additional Suites at the Centennial Garden ,Arena:
1. Resolution determining that seating for three additional suites at the Centennial Garden
Arena cannot be reasonably obtained through usual bidding procedures and authorizing the
Finance Director to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $6,950 in aggregate total.
2. Authorize Finance Director to deviate with usual bidding procedures for cabinets, shelves,
door frames, doors and window walls for 3 additional suites at the Centennial Garden Arena,
not to exceed $40,050 in aggregate total. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: This administrative report recommends approval of the attached Resolution determining
that seating and several construction items needed for '[he new Centennial Garden suites cannot be
reasonably obtained through usual bidding procedures and authorizes the Finance Director to dispense with
bidding. In order for the new Centennial Garden suites to have furnishings comparable to the existing suites,
the balcony seats for those suites must be ordered from the manufacturer that provided the existing seats.
This would provide for a unifying theme for all suites.
In addition, several construction items for the new suites such as cabinets, shelves, door frames, doors and
window walls, require several months for manufacturing. In order to complete the new suites before the next
ice hockey season, these items must be pre-ordered by the City as soon as possible. Staffwill not place the
orders until firm cost estimates are available and the budget is met. Normally, these items would be part of
the construction contract. But, due to the lead time needed to construct the listed items, staff recommends
that these items be excluded from the construction contract and City staff will begin im mediately obtaining bids
for these construction items. This will allow staff to pre-order those items and have them at the project site
so that construction of the project can be completed by the deadline.
The agreement with a general contractor for construction of the suites will be presented to the City Council
for approval at the July 19, 2000, meeting.

Resolution determining that airplane for use by the Police Department for ground operation
investigations cannot be obtained through the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the
Finance Director to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $162,805.00.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of' Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On April 26, 2000, Council approved the appropriation for the purchase of an airplane, not
to exceed $162,605.
The purchase of the airplane would replace the Police Department's 1978 Bellanca AK-AB Aircraft, which was
purchased by the City on November 9, 1989. The Bellanca AK-AB is 22 years old, and is need of major
repairs; consequently, it has become extremely costly to operate. At the current rate of use, the engine life
of the airplane will expire June 30, 2000.
It is imperative that in order to maintain the continuity of the air support unit services, a replacement aircraft
needs to be acquired immediately.
Based on the needs identified over the past eleven years by Department pilots and staff, the following is a list
of specifications and requirements of a new aircraft to meet the needs and demands of our daily use:
70-Gallon Fuel Tanks;
Three-bladed Hartzell, Constant Speed Propeller;
Tandem Two-seat Configuration;
180-Horsepower Lycoming Brand 0-360 Engine;
Minimum Useful Load of 725 Pounds;

Resolution authorizing deferral of assessment for Roy Degeer on parcel within City of
Bakersfield Assessment District No. 91-1 (Hosking Trunk Sewer). (Wards 7/,
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On September 19, 1992 the City Council confirmed and approved Assessment
District No. 91-1. Parcel number 515~110-13-00-3 (Assessment No. 100) belonging to Mr. Gordon
Slater was assessed based on its land use designation per the City of Bakersfield 2010 General
Plan, just as all other parcels within the district were assessed. The land use for this parcel allowed
a maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per 600 square feet for R-4 zoning, but the actual zoning on
this parcel was R-2.
During the assessment hearing process, the property owner registered a complaint regarding the
assessment spread method used. Staff revised the assessment and determined that a maximum
density based on an R-3 zone (1 dwelling unit per 12561 square feet) would be more reasonable for
that parcel. In the final Engineer's Report, the assessment against this parcel was reduced form
$38,782.51 to $18,325.97 reflecting the R-3 zoning. The Council further directed staffto prepare a
deferral of that portion of the assessment which represented the difference between R-3 zoning and
R-2 zoning. This deferred portion of the assessment was due and payable with interest il: any
development entitlement occurred on the property or if the property ownership was transferred.
Additionally, the deferral must be requested annually by the property owner so that staff may
determine if sufficient funds remain in the reserve to pay the deferred amount, which is due annually
to the bond holders.
Mr. Slater subsequently sold this parcel to Mr. Roy Degeer. The parcel received in 1994 its actual
assessment based on R-3 zoning, plus the past deferred amounts. Mr. Degeer made a request of
June 6, 2000, 11:48AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
the Council for continuance of the deferral at R-1 status, not R-2. This request was referred to the
Urban Development Committee on June 16, 1995. The Committee instructed staff to prepare a
resolution deferring the assessment representing the increase from R-1 to R-3 land use. This
deferral will have to be requested annually by the property owner, and will be due and payable with
interest if any development entitlement occurs on the property or if property ownership is transferred.
Additionally, the attached resolution also provides that the parcel owner may construct one single
family residence on the parcel without causing the tota~ deferred assessment to become due and
payable.
The portion of the billed assessments, representing the increase from R-1 to R-3 land use, which has
been deferred to date on said parcel, is $9,213.41. The current amount to be deferred for
installments due December 10, 2000 and April 10, 2001 is $1,396.18, for a total deferred
assessment amount of $10,609.59. The deferred assessment payments will and can be made from
the available funds of the District, including but not limited to interest earnings and unexpended
proceeds.
The City Clerk has received a letter from Mr. Degeer requesting deferment of his assessments for
this year. Therefore a resolution has been drafted to allow City Council to defer his assessments
(see attached).
The Finance Department has confirmed that the special assessment has been paid for the fiscal year
1999 - 2000.

A Resolution Adopting the Master Plan for the City of Bakersfield Department of Recreation
and Parks for 2000-2005
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND: Council approved funding for the establishment of a recreation and parks master plan in
FY 1998/99 (phase I) and FY 1999/00 (phase II). Establishment and formal adoption of the plan will promote
Recreation and Parks goal of providing the highest quality services, facilities, parks and programs to the
citizens of Bakersfield.
This master plan provides I~akersfield with purpose and direction in the provision of quality recreation facilities
and programs. It has been developed using extensive community input, including two statistically-valid
surveys of city residents and a series of focus group meetings. The action strategies component
recommends a course of action to meet public demand and need. Recommended sources of funding and
funding strategies are also incorporated. Having an adopted plan in place will meet the application
requirements of many private and public funders for grants.
While setting forth a long-term strategic plan for the City, the plan can also be modified over time if required
to meet public recreation and park facility and program demands and needs.
The master plan is available to the public at either the clerk's office or on the city's Website. Copies were
distributed to the council during the workshop of April 26, 2000.

A Resolution of the Council of the City of Bakersfield Requesting State of California
Financial Support in Capping the Bakersfield Sanitary Landfill
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Sanitary Landfill has been inactive for the last 17 years, during which time both the City
of Bakersfield and the County of Kern, mutually working toward a common goal, have been active in
bringing closure while providing on-going landfill maintenance efforts. City of Bakersfield efforts to mitigate
environmental issues during that time have included installing a mitigation gas system for $1.0 million and
conducting burn dump mitigation in the amount of $1.3 million. These on-going efforts have preempted
the City's ability to establish reserves over time to pay for the costs of closure. It should be noted, too, that
the landfill became inactive prior to State legislation requiring funding set asides for closures.
Landfill closure is an environmental issue that extends beyond local boundaries. Capping the landfill and
finalizing environmental mitigation efforts will benefit residents of Bakersfield, Kern County, and the State
of California.
Both the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern have been diligent in their joint efforts to work [ogether
to bring closure to the landfill. While the State of California faces an unprecedented budget surplus, Iocat
government agencies such as the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern face continuing budget
constraints. These constraints have not allowed for the budgeting of the approximately $10 million
necessary to cap the landfill and meet the environmental needs of state and federal regulations. Additional
sources of revenue are needed to accomplish this goal.
The State of California is experiencing an unprecedented budget surplus. The attached resolution
respectfully requests the State to earmark surplus funds from the State's budget to be used to fund the
costs of capping the Bakersfield Sanitary Landfill and assist in resolving the on-going environmental issues
surrounding the landfill's closure.

Agreement with the Bakersfield City School District For Mutual Use of Facilities
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND: Each year the department conducts summer youth programs at various school sites. The
cit. y typically pays for its use of the school facilities and grounds. The current budget includes $20,000 for
the rental during the summer of 2000.
The proposed agreement is for mutual use of facilities between the city and the school district. In return for
using the school sites, the city would make public pools available to the district. This will be accomplished
through the issuance of free pool passes. These passes will be issued to district students who have pedect
attendance each week during summer school. District students will also be allowed to attend the city's
programs at the students school.
The passes are valid only on the day issued (Fridays each week).
Based on historical usage, the department does not anticipate, a problem with accommodating the additional
swimmers at the public pools.
The district board approved the agreement on June 6, 2000.
The original contract is for a one-year term with four, one-year options to renew.

Amendment #1 to Agreement 98-257 for $3,863.08 for Bakersfield Senior Citizens
Center Roof Replacement at 530 4th Street. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Senior Citizens Center, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation, has requested
authorization to use savings from the roof rehabilitation project ($3,863.08) at its facility located at
530 4th Street. The center provides a variety of recreational, social, educational, and vocational
training activities primarily for senior citizens of the Greater Bakersfield Metropolitan Area.
The City Council approved agreement 98-257, which authorized $75,000 for the senior center roof
replacement. Approximately 15,000 square feet of roofing was replaced under this agreement,
leaving a balance of $3,863.08. The Senior Center proposes to use that balance to make
accessibility improvements to an exterior door, replace damaged ceiling tiles, and install accessible
plumbing fixtures. The cost of the additional work is approximately $4,000 and no increase in funds
is required or requested. Any additional costs will be paid by the Senior Center. Roof replacement
is complete; the door and plumbing fixtures replacement will be completed approximately 13 weeks
from execution of this amendment to the agreement.

Approval of Lease Amendment with California State Bakersfield Foundation un Lease
Agreement No. 98-258 regarding Additional Suite Revenue Distribution
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached lease amendment with California State Bakersfield
Foundation.
BACKGROUND:
The City is moving forward with the addition of three new suites, at concourse level, to Centennial Garden.
Completion of the new suites will depend on California State Bakersfield Foundation, Ogden Entertainment,
and Flying Puck LLC signing lease amendments (which Flying Puck and Ogden Entertainment have already
done), and then getting construction bids at an affordable price. The three suites have already been leased
conditionally, based upon the City completing those steps.
The original agreement with California State Bakersfield Foundation did not contemplate more than twenty-
four suites, so the attached amendment states how the revenue from those additional suites will be
distributed. In exchange for twelve tickets to all CSUB games, California State Bakersfield Foundation will
be paid an additional $1,250.00 per suite for each of the, first three years. After that, the City will have
recovered the nearly $300,000 capital investment, and California State Bakersfield Foundation's
compensation will go to $2,500.00 per year, or whatever amount is negotiated in connection with the lease
renewal.
These terms will assist in financing the suite additions. In essence, they are, over the three year amortization
period of the suites, taking half their annual payment for the twelve tickets per suite to help us pay off the
capital cost. It is all new revenue to California State Bakersfield Foundation, and the contingent participation
amounts go up by the new total pass through revenue each year, so there is no above referenced financial
penalty. Should the project not proceed, for example, if the bids come in too high, the amendment becomes
meaningless and there will be no cost or obligation.

Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 97-200 for $60,000 with Kern Economic Development
Corporation (KEDC) for Economic Development in Kern County. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The existing agreement between the City of Bakersfield and Kern Economic Development Corporation
(KEDC) expires June 30, 2000. The existing agreement was for a three year term. This amendment would
extend the term of the existing agreement for one year, to June 30, 2001. All other terms and conditions of
the existing agreement would remain in effect. These include:
· Funding: The contract amount is $60,000 per year. This $60,000 is included in the Economic and
Community Development Department's FY 2000-01 budget.
· Information sharing between KEDC and City of Bakersfield: KEDC will continue to provide the City
with extensive information about prospects, and the City will adhere to KEDC's confidentiality policy.
The contract defines the role of both parties regarding other aspects of dealing with prospects.
· Public sector funding policy: KEDC will continue ils efforts to increase financial support from all
incorporated cities within Kern County.
· Retention projects: KEDC will refer retention and expansion projects within the city limits to
Economic and Community Development Staff.
KEDC has a similar agreement with the County of Kern with an equivalent amount of funding. That
agreement also expires on June 30. According to county staff, a decision on whether to extend the current
agreement and the amount of any such funding has not yet ,been determined.

Amendment No. 4 to Agreement No. 97~140 with Tiburon, Inc. regarding software
maintenance services for City's Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management
Systems for $38,199.00.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 4.
BACKGROUND:
Agreement 97-140 provides that Tiburon, Inc. will supply software maintenance services for the
Police Department's Computer Aided Dispatch and Rece, rds Management Systems. Tiburon created
the software and is the only entity which can provide adequate maintenance of the software.
Amendment No. 4 provides that the services will be provided until June 30, 2001 at a cost of
$38,199.00. The funds for this Amendment were included in the Fiscal 2000-2001 budget. This amount
reflects a one-time credit due to the city as a result of installation of the new CAD system in October
1999 and the 12 month warranty on that system. Because of the remaining time available on the
warranty, and that the City had prepaid the maintenance on the old CAD system, there is no cost this
fiscal year for our RMS maintenance.

Resurfacing Various Local Streets 1999/2000 - Phases 1 and 2 (All Wards):
1.) Contract Change Order No. 2, $147,895.58, to Agreement No. 99-201 with Granite
Construction Company for the Resurfacing Various Local Streets 1999/2000- Phase 11.
2.) Contract Change Order No. 11, $180,020.60, to Agreement No. 99-202 with Granite
Construction Company for the Resurfacing Various Local Streets 1999/2000 - Phase 2.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Contract Change Orders.
BACKGROUND: These Contract Change Orders are primarily for increases in tonnage of asphalt concrete
placed on the projects. Together, these projects resurfaced over 40 miles of local streets throughout the area.
Asphalt concrete used for overlaying streets is paid for by weight. The unit weight (pounds per cubic foot)
of the asphalt concrete that staff has historically used for estimating is 145 pounds per cubic foot. Recently,
staff revised the asphalt concrete specification to provide a more durable material that was more resistant to
deterioration and failure. To meet this revised specification, the contractor for these projects produced an
asphalt concrete mixture that had a unit weight of 154 pounds per cubic foot, or over 6% heavier per cubic
foot than estimated. Therefore, the total project cost increased over 6% from what had been estimated due
to this unit weight issue.
In addition, many of the local streets had slightly depressed areas that required additional asphalt concrete
in order to fill the depression to achieve a smooth surface. The project specifications called for a tenth of a
foot (1-3/16 inches thick) overlay to be placed on these streets, so an increase in depth of only a hundredth
of a foot (1/8 inch) yields a 10% increase in the asphalt concrete quantity placed, and this contributed to the
increased quantity of asphalt concrete for the projects. Finally, as the project progressed, some minor
adjacent areas were discovered that should have been included in the original project but were inadvertently
excluded, and these areas were added during construction. Funds for the change orders will come from
savings from other completed projects, so no additional appropriation is necessary.

Determination that the Proposed Exclusive Negotiation Agreement for a project along
California Avenue between "M" and "S' Street is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. (Wards
1 &2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council determine that the agreement is exempt from CEQA and direct staff to
file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council recently approved the Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project Area. A
portion of that Project Area (along California Avenue between "M" Street and "S" Street) is the subject of an
Exclusive Right to Negotiate agreement. This agreement, by itself, does not mean actual development will
occur, but is merely an agreement to negotiate in good faith with the possibility that some development may
occur. The determination that the agreement is exempt from the provisions of CEQA provides the
environmental clearance for the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency (RDA) to enter into the agreement. This
agreement requires the developer to fund a thorough environmental study before any further action will be
taken by the RDA.

Phase fl of this project was constructed in 1995 and included the section of Lake Street between Tulare
Street and King Street. Phase 2 was constructed in 1997 and included the section between King Street and
Robinson Street.
The Engineer's Estimate for the work is $ 390,000.0(:). Only one bid was received and was in excess of
available funds for construction of the project. In addition, the contractor did not properly complete the
required Federal forms which were required to be attached to the bid. Therefore, staff recommends rejecting
the bid received on May 10, 2000, as follows:
IGranite Construction Company
18850 James Road
Bakersfield CA 93308 (County)
In the amount of $430,451.00
Staff will separate a section of the project as an additive bid alternate. Award of the alternate will be
dependent upon available funding. Staff will immediately re-advertise the project upon rejection of this bid.

Approve sublease with Metropolitan Recycling Corporation of the Recycling Facility Ground
Lease and Landlord's Estoppel Certificate.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of sublease of Recycling Facility Ground Lease and Landlord's Estoppel
Certificate.
BACKGROUND:
On December 15, 1999, the Council approved a ground lease between the City as Lessor' and Kern
Refuse Disposal, Inc., as Lessee for property upon which the Lessee was to construct a recycling facility for
recyclable construction and demolition materials.
Metropolitan Recycling Corporation (a different company than Kern Refuse Disposal, Inc., but under
the same ownership) wishes to assume the responsibilities of Kern Refuse under the Recycling Facility Ground
Lease. Metropolitan Recycling is also in the process of securing a loan for the construction of the recycling
facility and the lender has requested the City, as the landlord (Lessor) of the property, to provide certain
assurances with regard to the Recycling Ground Lease (e.g., the City is to provide the lender copies of all
notices of default under the lease and provide the lender a reasonable opportunity to cure the default upon
termination of the lease).
Staff is recommending that Council approve the enclosedsublease between Kern Refuse Disposal,
Inc. (as sublessor) and Metropolitan Recycling Corporation (as sublessee). Additionally, staff is also
recommending that Council approve the above-referenced Landlord's Estoppel Certificate.

Public hearing to consider residential refuse rate increases for fiscal year 2000101 (1.1% proposed
rate increase). (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: State law requires new fees and charges as well as increases in existing fees and charges be
adopted by ordinance or resolution following a public hearing. A notice of the proposed rate increase and the
public hearing was mailed to each of the 60,000 residential property owners in the City. As of June 6, 2000, the
City Clerk had received fifty written letters protesting the refuse fee and two written letters supporting the refl.~se
fee.
Two refuse service collection rates are proposed to be increased in this hearing: Single Family dwelling and
Multiple Family dwelling (up to four units) refuse service. The single family rate is proposed to be increased from
$138 per unit to $139.50 per unit per year (an increase of 1.1%). The multi-family rate is proposed to be increased
from $124.86 per unit per year to $126.24 per unit per year. The increase covers inflation and operating cost
increases in contracts with our haulers, maintenance costs, and costs for greenwaste carts and recycling
equipment to meet the state recycling mandates.
According to Proposition 218, if written protests against the proposed fee are presented by a majority of the
identified parcels, the City shall not charge the annual proposed fee. If written protests against the proposed fee
are not presented by a maiority of the identified parcels, the City Council may adopt the proposed fee.
The proposed fees would become effective July 1, 2000.

Public hearing to determine whether the public interest and necessity require acquisition by
eminent domain of property located at 1426 "P" Street, Bakersfield, California, for parkiing for
the Centennial Garden Arena/Convention Center (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230,
et seq.) (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a Resolution of Neceesity declaring the public interest and necessity for the
taking of property located at 1426 "P" Street, Bakersfield, California, for parking for the Centennial Garden
Arena/Convention Center, enabling the City to condemn the subject property.
BACKGROUND:
Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230 requires that the City Council adopt "a Resolution of Necessity"
authorizing the initiation of an eminent domain action. Section 1245.230 also requires that certain
"pre-condemnation" requirements be met.
Each of these requirements has been met by the City and are set forth in the Resolution of Necessity attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference.
Prior to adopting the Resolution of Necessity, Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235 requires that the City
give each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain a reasonable opportunity to appear and
be heard on the following:
1. Whether the public interest and necessity require the project;
Whether the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the
greatest public good and the least private injury;
Whether the property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project; and
June 6, 2000, 10:21am
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT ['age 2
Whether the offers required by Government Code section 7267.2 have been made to the
owner(s) of the subject property.
The specific findings of fact which support the Council's adoption of the Resolution of Necessity are set forth
therein and include:
Expand available public parking for the Centennial Garden Arena/Convention Center Complex.
When events are scheduled during normal working hours on weekdays, the Complex is not
permitted to use the Kern County parking structure adjacent to the Complex (west of"N" :Street)
resulting in the loss of approximately 800 parking spaces;
Completion of the "Q" Street underpass in July 2000 makes this property ideally located for
Complex parking. No delay to vehicular and pedestrian traffic will occur when trains are
stopped along the rail line between the property and the Complex. Delays to traffic occur on
"N" Street when trains are present along the intervening rail line;
A reconfiguration of traffic flows for Complex parking to this property and other parking lots
between "M" and "Q" Streets once the "Q" Street underpass project is completed will resolve
numerous complaints received regarding traffic delays;
This property is blighted and immediately adjoins the Food Bank facility which the City is also
acquiring for expanded parking facilities.
Required notice was provided to each property owner as set forth in the Resolution of Necessity.
In order for the property owners to appear before the Council, the property owners must have filed a written
request to appear and be heard within fifteen (15) days after the notice was mailed (Code of Civil Procedure
section 1245.235(a)(b)(3)). Failure to file a written request results in the waiver of the right to appear and be
heard.
The Council must adopt the Resolution of Necessity by vote of two thirds of all the members of the Council (not
two thirds of a quorum of the members present). (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.240.)
It is important to note that while adoption of the resolution is the first step in eminent domain proceedings, this
does not necessarily mean that the City will be forced to take any of the listed property by condemnation.
Negotiations for the purchase of the property are conl:inuing, and staff is hopeful that the Citywill be able to
purchase the property without having to resort to eminent domain proceedings.

CITY MANAGE~
SUBJECT: An ordinance adding, amending and rescinding various sections of Title 17 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code pertaining to families, day care homes, and residential facilities in residential
zones; accessory buildings; wall and landscaping separations; churches in the C-0 zone; signs for
nonprofit organizations; and other general ordinance cleanup items. (Citywide)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
These proposed amendments were initiated by staff (with the exception of allowing a church in a C-0
zone) to address minor problem areas, update sections to be consistent with state law, and perform
other cleanup measures to correct inconsistencies caused by previous text amendments. They have
been broken down into six groups to make it easier to follow the respective changes. A brief
discussion of each follows. However, the attached Planning Commission staff report discusses each
item in more detail with a strikeoutYbold version of the text (where necessary) to view the actual
wording changes.
(1) Day care definitions are being changed to reflect current state law that increased the
number of children allowed by right for both large and small family day care operations. The
family definition is being changed to reflect court decisions; our current definition is outdated
and discriminatory and this update of the definition will be consistent with state and federal
requirements necessary to obtain housing grants. Residential facility is being added to help
clarify the difference between state Iicensed group homes that are allowed by state law, and
non licensed homes which we define as roominghouses (and are subject to different analysis;).
The permitted use sections in all of the residential zones are being updated with these uses to
ensure the language is consistent from zone to zone.
(2) Accessory building regulations are being changed reducing onsite building separations to
be consistent with the building code and to improve flexibility for property owners when :)lacing
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
these buildings on their property. We are also reducing the heiqht of these structures allowed
to be piaced on the property line from 12 feet to 7 feet.- Anythin~ higher than 7 feet is still
permitted but only if it meets the normal residential set back (usually 5 feet on the side and
rear). This should reduce the number of complaints received regarding these taller structures
being placed on a property line by having them t)e set back from the property line, but still
allows for the typical smaller buildings (ie. tool sheds, etc.) to be placed anywhere in a back
yard.
(3) The separation requirement between commercial/industrial development and residential
uses when separated by a street is being changed to allow more flexibility by the Development
Services Director during the site plan hearing process. Based on the type of development, the
hearing would help determine whether both a wall and landscaping are necessary, or just
landscaping. Instances have occurred in the past where a landscaped berm was found to be
more aesthetically pleasing, or that a wall already existed for the residential uses (on their sMe
of the street) and an additional wall on the commercial/industrial property was unnecessary.
Some sections already contain this language and these changes will ensure that all sections
referencing this requirement read the same.
(4) Allowing a church as a permitted use in the C-0 zone was initially referred to the Planning
Commission from the Urban Development Committee. The Commission has found this to be
an acceptable permitted use and is recommending it be added in the C-0 zone.
(5) Nonprofit special event sign regulations are being changed to prohibit them from being
placed in residential zones and to limit events consistent with for-profit businesses. The
Commission added language to increase the number of offsite signs from 4 to 8, and allow the
Development Services Director to permit more events but did not place any limits on this
additional number. Staff is recommending a slight alteration to the Commission's language
changing the authority to the Building Director since this would be consistent with the
authority already granted to him in the code for other minor deviations. In addition, staff
recommends that the Building Director be limited to granting no more than 2 additional events
so that there is an overall limit. Nonprofit groups have usually not even exercised their 5
special events during a calendar year.
(6) The last group of ordinance changes are general cleanup items that correct references o,r
wording. Most are changes missed during the large number of amendments made to the site,
plan process and conditional use sections last year. Others are those found by staff that need
to be updated to reflect current procedures. These are more specifically described in the
attached Planning Commission staff report for your information.
These amendments were forwarded to the Building Industry Association and Association of Realtors
for comments, and staff conducted a workshop for the BIA's legislative committee. No comments
were received by the Commission and they approved the, changes by a unanimous vote. These
changes were also found by the Commission to be exempt from CEQA in accordance with the
general rule as they will have no significant effects upon the environment.

ITEM: 12.c.

SUBJECT:
Conduct Public Meeting for Proposed User Fees Pursuant to the Cost Recovery System.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council conduct the required public hearing on June 28, 2000.
BACKGROUND:
State law requires new fees and charges, as well as increases in existing fees and charges, be adopted
by ordinance or resolution following a public hearing. The City's procedure is provided for in Chapter 3.70
of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which was recently updated.
Attached is a summary of changes for the Master Fee Schedule and a copy of the proposed Master' Fee
Schedule including all service centers. The summary provides a list of new, reduced and restructured :fees.
Also included is a summary of development related fees. The rate increases generally are consistent with
inflation. In cases where that does not apply an explanation or justification is provided. Staff has reviewed
the proposed changes with the Building Industry representatives and they have indicated they arE; not
opposed to the proposed changes.
An overview of the Master Fee Schedule and proposed changes was reviewed by the Budget and Finance
Committee at the May 15, 2000 meeting. Most of the increases are primarily due to inflation. The
increased fees in the Aquatics Program are due to the state and federal changes in the minimum wage law.
The Committee directed staff that when possible, increases should be made annually so they occur
gradually.
Committee members expressed concerns about the fees proposed for the Recreation and Parks Aquatics
Program that may prohibit some young people from being able to apply for a job. There is a $40 fee to be
certified, but also an additional $75 fee for required training for a first-time life guard position. The
Committee directed staff to further research this issue including the $30 fee for a driver's license certificate,
provide information and address this issue dudng the May 22nd Recreation and Parks Department's budget
presentation to Council for possible adjustment. DUE; to time constraints, this issue was not addressed
during the May 22n? department budget presentation. However, staff did research the questions regarding

the fees associated with aquatic staff training and was unable to vedfy or identify a $30 fee associated with
a Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) background check. Each applicant, whether a potential city
employee or of Select Personnel Services, must provide a DMV printout which is obtained directly from the
DMV. The DMV charges $5 for this service. If an employee is not likely to drive as part of their normal
duties, staff is not aware that a DMV check is required.
In addition, staff found the $75 cost for the lifeguard traiining is for first-year guards only. For someone who
has previously been licensed, the cost is $60 for any subsequent year. There is a $40 refundable book
deposit that is collected at the time of training. The guards are reimbursed after the books are returned to
the city.
The Committee unanimously directed staff to place the proposed fees on the Council Agenda of June 14th
as a public meeting for the purpose of the Council receiving public input regarding the proposed fees as
required by State law. No formal action can be legally taken on the 14t~ with regard to these fees. The
required public hearing will be scheduled the Council meeting of June 28~h for the purpose of receiving
additional input, and Council may then consider the adoption of the fees by resolution.
