8e. Resolution of Applicafion proposing proceedings for annexation of uninhabited territory to the
City of Bakersfield located along the west side of Jewetta Avenue to Old Farm Road, south of
Haqeman Road. This proposed annexation consists of approximately 122 acres of uninhabited land
located along the west side of Jewetta Avenue to Old Farm Road, south of Hageman Road. The
property owner has consented to annexation and wishes to receive City services.
8f. Resolution adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Codes for City of Bakersfield departments,
boards, commissions, and committees. State law requires that each governmental agency review
its Conflict of Interest Code every two years in order to determine that the current Code is accurate
or requires amending. Recommended changes include adding new designated positions, revising
titles of existing positions, adding responsibilities to existing positions, and deleting abolished titles
and positions no longer requiring designation.
8q. Resolution authodzinal investment term Ioncler than five years. State law and the City
Investment Policy require City Council authorization for investments with a term longer than five
years. Staff is requesting autlhodzation to make investments in triple A rated federal agency bonds,
notes, or debentures with a maximurn term of ten years from purchase date with a return rate of at
least 8%. Specifically, investments will be madE; in any of the following agenoies which are
authorized in the City Investment Policy: Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank,
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage Association. This
authorization would be valid for three months from approval date as provided by Government Code
and City Investment Policy. The authorization would allow staff to lock in higher rates if rates are
increased in the next three months.
8h. Sanitary Landfill capping and closure. State regulations require a final capping and closure of
the former Bakersfield Sanitary Landfill. Currently $189,000 has been budgeted arid set aside for
a landfill closure reserve. The City has entered into an agreement with the Co~unty which will
change the commercial disposal fee from a volume t¢, a tonnage basis. Staff estimates that this will
result in approximately a $500,000 reduction in cost per year. Staff has reviewed the possibility of
utilizing these potential savings towards the funding of the landfill closure. This was review by the
Budget and Finance Committee who are recommending that 1) the City continue to budget $85,000
each year for the landfill closure directly, 2) the City continue to budget for disposal fees on a
volume basis, and 3) transfer the amounts budgeted for the project and any Refuse Enterprise Fund
balance at year end to a Landfill Closure Fund.

8i. Sale of Surplus Real Property. The State relinquished four road remnants in the Oswell Street
area to the City in 1970. The Dinova Partners Ii has requested to purchase a small portion of one
parcel located at the southeast corner of Highway 178 and Oswell Street to incorporate into their
adjoining development. Staff is recommending the sale of the property for a pulrchase pdce of
$6,000.
8i. Resolution ordering Change of Proceedings to authorize additional improvements to be paid
from proceeds of Specified Investment Earnings, Assessment District No. 94-3, (Silver
Creek/Bdmhall North/Seven Oaks/South Laurelglen),~ This assessment was to build improvements
for five noncontiguous areas being developed from the sale of bond proceeds. 'The developer,
Castle and Cooke, did not construct all the improvements originally bonded for in a timely manner
and interest earnings have accrued over the years. The Assessment Engineer has prorated the
additional investment earnings to all five areas within the district. These funds can be utilized to pay
for additional public improvements, which are in addition to the improvements originally authorized
for the assessment district. The utilization of these additional funds will not increase the property
owners' assessments nor lengthen the time of payments. The use of the interest earnings will help
build additional roads and landscaping needed to enhance four out of five of these areas. The fifth
area has no additional improvements and the investment earnings for that area will be used to call
bonds and shorten the length of time property owners wou~d have to pay. Any remaining funds in
the four areas wilt also be used to call bonds and shorten the length of payments.
8k. 4040 Chester Avenue curb, gutter and sidewalk. To assist in paying the construction costs for
curb, gutter, and sidewalk,, the property owner at 4040 Chester Avenue has entered into an
agreement with the City to spread the construction costs over a three-year period, interest free, to
be collected with their property taxes in accordance with the Municipal Code. This resolution
authorizes the County Tax Collector to collect the construction costs in three equal payments over
the next three years.
81. Job specification, salary and title change for Fire Inspector and salary chanqe for Industrial
Waste Inspector. At the request of SEIU, staff conducted a classification/compensation study for
the positions of Fire Inspector and Industrial Waste Inspector. Based on this analysis, changes to
the job specification and salary are being recommended. A change in the Fire Inspector title is also
recommended. The Personnel Committee has reviewed the proposed changes end recommends
adoption contingent on approval by the Miscellaneous and Fire Civil Service Boards.
8m Amendment No. 2 to Resolution approving and adopting the City of Bakersfield Operating and
Capital Improvement Budqets for Fiscal Year 1999-00 to incorporate previous budget actions
approved by the City Council. This is essentially a clean-up item which incorporates actions
previously taken by the City Council regarding the 1999-00 budget.
8n. Salary change for Cdme Prevention Supervisor. Due to additional responsibilities and programs
overseen by the Crime Prevention Supervisor, a salary adjustment is being recommended. The
salary adjustment would bdng this position more in line with other similar civilian positions within the

in southeast Bakersfield. The proposed $50,000 City loan will be used to pay for the building permit
fees with the remaining funds going to purchase new equipment for this project. The source of
funds is Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies. The terms of the assistance would
be in the form of a 0% percent interest loan with one balloon payment at the end of five years. The
company is required to have 51% of all new hires be Iow and moderate-income individuals. The
company would enter into a first source hidng agreement with Employer's Training Resource. If the
company is not in full compliance with the terms of the agreement, they will be required to repay the
total amount loaned. In addition to the City CDBG loan to the company, Redevelopment assistance
of up to $20,000 is being proposed from the tax: increment generated from this project. The
Redevelopment Agency will be reviewing a proposed financial assistance agreement at its August
14th meeting.
8r. Agreement with Kern Dellta Water District, Castle & Cooke California, Inc., and Mountain Vista
Properties for canal relocation on Old River Road, between Pacheco Road and Campus Park Drive
This agreement will allow for Old River Road to be constructed southerly from Campus Park Drive
to Pacheco Road and eventually Panama Lane. It also allows the irrigation ditch and canal to be
relocated in such a way thai: all parties in the agreement benefit and will fulfill the requirements of
Tentative Tract 5848.

sewer line easterly to serve the Doubletree Hotel area. The proposed alignment crosses the
Equilon Refinery and existing soil conditions along this alignment need to be verified prior to bidding
and construction. This agreement hires a firm to sample and analyze the soil along the alignment
of the sewer. Staff is recommending approval of the agreement with Kteinfelder as most beneficia~
to the City based on qualifications and price.
8t. Three-year lease aqreement with American Business Machines to lease a Canon CLC-IO00

8u. City Center Proiect. The first item is an agreement for reimbursement of costs associated with
real property acquisition services including appraisals and review appraisals. The second
agreement is to reimburse the City for costs associated with the required environmental review of
the City Center Project and requires the developer to reimburse the City for costs (exclusive of City
staff costs). Since part of the City Center Project entails a City-owned facility, staff believes the City
should bear its own staff costs, instead of having the developer pay both the staff costs and the
environmental consultant costs. The third item includes agreements for appraisal services with Kern
Appraisal Company and Dallas Higdon and Associates. Kern Appraisal specializes in
commercial/industrial properties and includes subcontracting for residential work to Michael Burger
to provide a well-balanced appraisal team. The review appraiser is recommended to be Dallas
Higdon. The fourth item is the agreement with Michael Brandman Associates to perform the
environmental review services for the project. The fifth item is a concurrence with the Bakersfield
Redevelopment Agency's execution of a revised Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement with Ray
Olmscheid Development Group, which would include the AME Church property as part of the project
site and inclusion of a new site map in order to resolve any confusion regarding which properties
were included or excluded from the agreement. As a reminder, this agreement does not commit
the City or the Agency to take any action in furtherance of the Project except to negotiate in good
faith and to achieve a Disposition and Developmer~t Agreement that is acceptable to the parties.
The sixth item appropriates the $125,000 developer contribution to pay for the appraisals and

8v. Disney Keys to Excellence Training Seminar. In April of 2000, the Recreation and Parks
Department hosted the Disney Keys to Management Excellence Customer Service Training
Program. Based upon the success of that effort, the Disney institute has requested that the City
host a new training on November 14, 2000. The naw program will cover topics such as creativity
and innovation, developing customer loyalty, and quality service. The agreement provides that the
department will distribute brochures, secure meeting facility and handle registration and meals. This
agreement also provides for the split of revenue between the City and the Disney Institute. The
anticipated additional revenue to the City from this training is proposed to be used to purchase one
additional trailer and to fund equipment and staff to begin the mobile recreation program.
8w. Restrictive Covenant Aqreement with Bethany Services to create a 20-foot non-buildabte
easement on property adjacent to the Bakersfield Homeless Center. The Bakersfield Homeless
Center intends to construct a building on its property. In order to avoid the costly expense of one-
hour rated construction, the Center has asked the City to establish a 20-foot non-buildable
easement on the City's adjacent property. The ncn-buildable easement will allow the Center to
accommodate the Center's expansion by constructing a building on their ~ot line. Because this is
an easement that encumbers City property, it must be approved by the Council.
8x. Amendment to Agreement with West Coast Lan~ Service to lease mineral ric~hts in real property
located at Yokuts Park and the Kern River. in 1997, the City Council approved an agreement with
West Coast Land Service for the lease of mineral rights for property in the Kern River Channel and
within Yokuts Park for the drilling of oil. The rent for the primary three-year term was $500. West
Coast Land Service has requested that the primary term be extended for an additional three years
with all other lease terms ~'emaining the same. The City will receive $500 for the three-year

quantities. They cannot come on to the City's property, but rather drill from adjacent lands 500 feet
below the surface.
8y. Amendment Agreement with Kimble, MacMichael & Upton for outside legal services. The City
has previously retained Kimble, MacMichael & Upton as counsel in the bankruptcy litigation
involving Valley Communities, Inc. and Buena Vista Lake properties regarding the City's purchase
of 4,700 acres of land from Valley Communities, Inc. ,Additional work is required for outside counsel
to finalize a settlement proposal with the debtors and to obtain bankruptcy court approval of the
settlement agreement. The cost is not to exceed $7,000.
8z. Contract Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $22,000 to Agreement No. 99-304 with HPS
Construction Company for the trunk sewer replacement alonq South Chester Avenue from Planz
Road to Et Sereno Avenue. This change order is for removing and replacing approximately 1,500
feet of substandard median curb with full-height City Standard median curb on South Chester
Avenue between Planz Road and the San Joaquin Valley Railroad. The specifications for the
project require the contractor to replace any improvements damaged due to his operations. This
change order allows the contractor to replace all of the median curb (even that which was not
damaged by his operations) with standard full-height median curb so there will be a ,consistent City
Standard median curb along this segment of South Chester Avenue.

Miscellaneous:
8kk.. Revisions to Miscellaneous Civil Service Rule 6.01 - Eliqible Lists Established and Rule 6.02 -
Tie Scores. Staff and the Public Employees Union have been working together to develop a
standardized test for various positions in order to streamIine the testing process. The revision to
Rule 6.01 allows successful candidates to form a class of positions to be placed on a common
eligible list, which will be available to departments/divisions when a vacancy occurs. Subsequent
performance testing will be conducted by individual departments/divisions. The revision to Rule
6.02 provides more consistency among the various Civil Service Boards and allows candidates in
equal standing to be certified on the eligible list as a tie. This will eliminate the use of arbitrary
measures to break ties and allow additional candidates to be referred to departments. The
Employees Union endorses the revisions and the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board approved the
revisions on July 18, 2000.

HEARINGS
9a. Final Environmental impact Report, General Plan Amendment/Zone Change P99-0482. Kyle
Carter is requesting adoption of the Final Environmental Impact Report, General Plan Amendment
and Ordinance. The project is 170 acres, located generally between Olive Drive, Fruitvale Avenue,
Highway 99 and north of Downing/Gilmore Avenue. This project was recommended for approval
by the Planning Commission at its public hearing on June 15, 2000. There have been significant
changes to the project over the course of the year as the project has been going through the
environmental impact report process. The project involves the redevelopment of the abandoned
sewage treatment plant for the North of the River Sanitation District, which relocated to a site near
the City of Shafter. There were some initial concerns ]'egarding potential land use conflicts between
proposed residential areas and nearby industrial businesses and facilities. This matter was resolved
by agreement between the applicant and the industrial businesses to maintain a transition industrial
area between the existing industrial and proposed residential development. The City Fire
Department and the industrial users in the area are no longer expressing any concerns regarding
the project.
The second issue relating to the area's overall road system, but not part of this general plan was
raised by an adjacent property owner (Olive-Landco Associates represented by Roger Mclntosh)
who argued that Landco Drive should link up with a street along his property rather that Knudsen
Ddve as shown on the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Subsequent to the adoption of the
2010 General Plan, the County unilaterally changed the map for future streets from Landco Drive
connecting to Knudsen Ddve, although Olive-Lan¢lco Associates preferred an alignment which
intersects Olive Drive at the Highway 99 interchange. The City is bound to follow its adopted
General Plan and could not change the Landco Ddve alignment without proper notice to affected
property owners and other agencies. Both City and County staff have agreed to study the Olive
Drive/Highway 99 area to determine what might be done to alleviate the existing problems and
optimize future street relationships. If the study indicates the City's circulation plan should be
amended, then a change would be considered in notioed public hearings. If it is found the County's
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
August11,2000
Page-9-
map should be changed back to the odginal plan then the County would initiate a general plan
amendment. In the meantime, Kyle Carter offered to dedicate right-of-way, which could be used
to satisfy either plan and the Planning Commission aocepted this solution. As it is, the General Plan
Amendment and existing Adopted Circulation Plan an~ consistent as required by State law. It would
be improper at this time to amend the Circulatio~ Element with respect to the Landco Ddve
alignment without proper analysis, notice and publio hearing. Staff recommends against granting
the appeal, but does recommend that the condition be amended to reflect the intent to require the
dedication '~to the extend necessary to comply with the City's adopted General Plan and traffic study
as determined by the Public Works Director." Atthough the general plan for the Olive to Knudsen
connection may not be amended in this proceeding, if the Council wishes such an amendment to
be evaluated, Mr. Mclntosh's proposed realignmenl: may be referred to the Planning Commission
for review and recommendation with due notice and hearing.
A final issue arose regarding concerns by industrial property owners over noise typically generated
by existing industrial uses along Seven Seas Avenue, which would probably result in complaints
from the future adjacent multi-family residences. ']'he Planning Commission required a setback
between the two uses which may only be used for sump sites, roads, parking or yard area subject
to a noise study to vedfy that the noise level in the residential area is consistent with noise
standards for "sensitive uses" found in the General Plan. Staff recommends adoption of the
resolution certif'ying the EIR and approving the General Plan Amendment, denying the appeal and
first reading of the ordinance.
9b. General Plan Amendment and Zone Chanqe No. P00-0235. Castle & Cooke California, Inc.
is requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from High Medium
Density Residential to Low Density Residential on 8.62 acres and to change the zoning from
Planned Unit Development to One Family Dwelling on 65.44 acres. The project site is located south
of Campus Park DCive, west of Old River Road. The Planning Commission held public hearings for
this project in June 2000. The project was recommended for approval by both staff and the
Planning Commission. Staff has requested an additional condition for a second lane to be improved
in front of that portion of land at the southeast corner of Campus Park Drive and Mountain Vista
Drive, which is a 10-acre proposed school site. This condition was approved by the Planning
Commission. The Planning Commission also added the condition that if the Buena Vista Canal is
relocated, a six-foot high chain link fence shall be colqstructed concurrently along both sides of the
canal. As well, if the Buena Vista Canal is not relocated, it shall be fenced on both sides prior to
issuance of a building permit within 1/4 mile of the canal. These conditions were proposed and
approved to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The first is to provide a safer route
between the development along the south side of Campus Park Drive and the existing school
fronting on Mountain Vista Drive. The second condition was required to discourage access to the
canal by children. The applicant has submitted an appeal to both conditions. The applicant states
that the second lane road improvement is not required by the Subdivision Map Act, nor is justified
for purposes of health and safety. Staff and the Planning Commission disagree and believe that
the improvement is necessary to adequately protect school children and others accessing Earl
Warren Junior High School along Campus Park Drive and Mountain Vista Drive. The Planning
Commission also added that if the 10-acre school site located at the southeast corner of Campus
Park Drive and Mountain Vista Drive is sold to a no~q-governmental agency the applicant shall be
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITYCOUNCIL
August11,2000
Page-lO-
reimbursed by the developer of the site for improvements associated with construction of the second
lane. The City Council has the authority to attach reasonable conditions of approval to general plan
and zoning approvals to protect public health, safety and welfare. Regarding the appeal on the
fencing requirement, the applicant states that upon development the canal wouM be fenced in
conformance with the ordinance. The Planning Commission on finding that the ordinance would
only require fencing of the canal immediately adjacent to the subdivision or phase of the subdivision,
determined that to adequately protect the public health, safety and welfare, the canal must be
fenced immediately upon relocation of if not relocated, prior to an issuance of a building permit
between 1/4 mile of the canal. Staff: is recommending the City Council deny applicants appeal as
submitted and approve the General Plan Amendment as recommended by the Planning
Commission.
9c. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe P00-0236. Halferty Development Corporation has
requested an amendment to the General Plan and a zone change for property located along the
south side of Ming Avenue, between Canter Way and Rain Tree Court. The applicant proposes to
demolish the existing Fellowship Bible Church, 16 apartment units and develop the site to a
shopping center consisting of 71,500 square feet of ftoor area with retail and restaurant uses. Most
of this site is vacant and has never been developed. (70% of the site is a dirt lot.) There would be
a main tenant building and three free-standing pads, two of which involve restaurants. The Planning
Commission is recommending approval of the Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment and
zone change with extensive changes to the project, issues raised by opponents included an
increase in traffic on Ming Avenue, lack of proper streets and controlled Canter Way intersection for
deliver trucks; lights, noise and congestion in the parking lot; lights being on all night and their affect
on the apartments along Rain Tree Court and the condominiums along Ming Avenue; and
vandalism. The applicant has met with the adjoining property owners at two neighborhood
meetings. Extensive changes to the project design were made to address the concerns expressed
by the neighborhbod. Based on the remaining concerns, the Planning Commission added 13
conditions of approval to address access, lighting, loading dock design, building setbacks,
landscaping, parking and trash bin locations. Staff is recommending adoption of the resolution and
first reading of the ordinance.
9d. General Plan Amendment/Zone Change P00-0238. Tom Teagarden, representing KARPE,
requests to amend the General Plan for a project covering approximately 3.58 acres located along
the north side of Bdmhail Road, east of Jewetta Avenue. The purpose of the proposal is to increase
the size of the Iow-medium density residential and limited multiple-family dwelling zoning to 7.7
acres for future development of the site. This would allow a larger buffer between the commercial
area and the comer of Jewetta and Bdmhall and the single family residential area to the east. There
are no sites available for multi-family residential ,development for more than ~ mile. Staff is
recommending adoption of the resolution and first reading of the ordinance.
9e. General Plan Amendment/Zone ChanRe No. P00-0253. DeWalt Corporation has requested
an amendment to the General Plan and a zone change for property located along the northwest
corner of Calloway Ddve and Meacham Road. The applicant proposes to develop the site as a
restaurant facility with fine dining in the existing dwelling, with two casual dining structures and
relaxation areas distributed around the site. Outdeor activities will include weddings, and a deck

for dining and socialization adjacent to the existing house. Gazebos will be available for garden
weddings. Virtually all existing trees will be allowed to remain including some of the oak and
eucalyptus trees. A 105 year old single-family dwelling, 80 year old oak trees and 100 year old
eucalyptus trees are located on the site. The site is located adjacent to a residential area. The
Planning Commission is recommending approval of the Negative Declaration, General Plan
Amendment and zoning change amendment and required several changes to the site plan. The
applicant conducted neighborhood meetings and redesigned the project to address concerns
expressed. Staff received few calls or letters from this neighborhood expressing opposition to this
project. Issues raised by opponents of the project include: light and glare; increase in traffic bringing
safety concerns for children; and serving alcohol just outside the 600 foot separation distance
between a school and an establishment serving alcohol. Staff recommends adopting the resolution
and first reading of the ordinance.

12b. Ordinance repealing a Section of the Munidpal Code reqarding unsupervised fuel dispensing.
The City currently has 40 gas station facilities that utilize card readers. Considering the
technological advances in both safety and leak detection monitoring, the Fire Department feels it
is appropriate for these stations to be able to operate after hours unsupervised. Adoption of this
ordinance would repeal this section of the Municipal (;ode and permit these facilities to operate like
a cardlock facility affer hours. Enforcement would then be in accordance with the existing California
Fire Code language.
12c. Bakersfield Heart Hospital. The Bakersfield Heart Hospital is requesting a zone change
approving a revised PCD zone for the Bakersfield Heart Hospital campus. The request includes
approval of a helistop, a revision to the medical office building location and configuration, and the
revision of the footprint of the hospital wing. ThE; hospital proposes to construct parking and
landscaping within the dght~of;way of the future Silllect Avenue alignment and the Oak Street/Sillect
Avenue intersection. Construction of the Oak/Sillec[ street improvements is tentatively scheduled
to take place in 7 to 10 years. To provide for the future street improvements for the Oak Street and
Sillect Avenue intersection, the applicant has consented to enter into an agreement between the
hospital and the City which identifies each party's responsibilities related to the hospital's ability to
use the City's right-of-way for temporary parking until such time as the City constructs the Oak
Street/Sillect Avenue alignment. Staff is recommending the first reading of the ordinance and
approval of the agreement.
12d. Ordinance addinq Annexation No. 410, located between Allen and Jenkins Roads, north of

Resolution Authorizing Investment Term Longer Than Five Years.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: California Government Code Section 53601 and City Investment Policy requires City
Council authorization for inves[ments with a term longer than five years. Staff requests authorization to make
investments in triple A rated federal agency bonds, notes, or debentures with a maximum term of ten years
from purchase date with a rate of return of at least 8%. Specifically, investments will be in any of the following
agencies which are authorized in the City's Investment Policy: Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan
Bank, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. and Federal National Mortgage Association.
For a short period in the recent past some of these agencies issued ten year securities that had a yietd of 8%
or more with various "call" provisions. A call provision allows the issuer to call the security (take it back) at par
or its issuing price resulting in no loss of principal. Securities are called after a period of time from issue date
ranging from three months to several years with 5-10 days notice.
This authorization, if granted, would be valid for three months from approval date as provided by Government
Code and City Investment Policy. The authorization would allow staff to possibly lock in higher rates if rates
are increased in the next three months. This investment will comply with the revised City Investment Policy
which limits investments with terms longer than five years to the lesser of $10 million or 10% of the portfolio
at the time the investment is made.

Sanitary Landfill capping and closure.
1) Resolution regarding a budget policy for landfill closure.
2) Transfer $169,000 from the Refuse Enterprise Fund to the Landfill Closure Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Budget and Finance Committee recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
State regulations require final capping and closure of the former Bakersfield Sanitary Landfill. This project
is estimated to cost between $6 and $13 million to be shared with Kern County. The project will commence
in two to four years with the final cost dependent upon the method of capping ultimately approved by the State
regulators. The project includes items not subject to a cost-sharing agreement with Kern County resulting
in $3.3 to $7.2 million to be borne by the City.
Currently $169,000 has been budgeted and set aside for a Landfitl Closure Reserve. ($84,000 in 1999-00
and $85,000 in 2000-01)
In prior years the City was cha~'ged a commercial disposal fee by Kern County based on volume. The 2000-
01 budget was prepared using the same basis. On Jun~e 28, 2000 the City Council approved Agreement #00-
168 with Kern County which changed the disposal fee from volume to tonnage. Staff estimates this will result
in approximately $500,000 reduction in costs.
Staff suggests the City continue to use the old basis for' budgeting purposes and dedicate any savings, which
wouJd normally flow to fund balance within the refuse fund, to the Landfill Capping and Closure project.
This will, in effect, provide "seed money" for the project thereby reducing the amount ol: the project which will

need to be financed through the issuance of debt. Once the project cost estimates are finalized the amount
to be financed can be serviced by the ongoing savings. In order to maintain this type of level funding for the
project, future year increases in operating and other expenses will need to be funded through rate
adjustments without offsetting the estimated annual savings against operating costs.
Staff recommends:
1)
2)
3)
The City continue to budget $85,000 each year for the Landfill Closure project directly.
The City continue to budget for disposal fees on a volume basis.
Transfer the amounts budgeted for the project and any Refuse Enterprise Fund balance at
year end to a Landfill Closure Fund.
The Budget and Finance Committee met on Monday, ,July 17. 2000 and concurs with staff recommendations.

2. Sales agreement with Dinova Partners II for $6,000. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the sales agreement.
BACKGROUND:
tn freeway agreement dated August 15, 1961, between the County of Kern and the State of California the
County agreed to accept title to reconstructed county roads when relinquished by the State of California.
Subsequently, the City annexed this area. On July 24,1970, the State of California relinquished four road
remnants in the Oswell Street area to the City. Dinova Partners I1 has requested to purchase a small portion
of one parcel located at the southeast corner of Highway 178 and Oswell Street to incorporate into their
adjoining development. On November 4, 1999, the Bakersfield Planning Commission found the abandonment
and proposed sale of this property consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan. The
property consists of approximately 3,000 square feet ,of landscaped area. The purchase pdce of $6,000.00 is
a product of negotiations based on comparable properties.

Assessment District No. 94-3, (Silver (::;reek / Brimhall North / Seven Oaks / South Laurelglen).
Resolution Ordering Change of Proceedings to Authorize Additional Improvements to be paid
from Proceeds of Specified Investment Earnings. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Assessment District No. 94-3 was a developer district to build improvements for five
noncontiguous areas from the sale of bond proceeds. The developer, Castle & Cooke, California Inc. did not
construct ail of the improvements originally bonded for in a timely manner and interest earnings have accrued
over the years. The Assessment Engineer has prorated the additional investment earnings to all five areas
within the district. This money can be utilized to pay for additional public improvements which are in addition
to the improvements originally authorized for Assessment District No. 94-3. The utilization of these additional
funds will not increase the property owners assessments or lengthen the term of payments. The use of this
interest earnings will help build additional roads and landscaping needed to enhance four out of five of these
areas. No improvements are planned for the fifth area and consequently the investment earnings for that area
will be used to call bonds and shorten the length of time property owners would have to pay. Any remaining
funds in the four areas also will be used to call bonds and shorten the length of payment.
Bond Counsel has drafted a Resolution for additional improvements within Assessment District 94-3 that will
benefit all property owners within each of the areas in the district.

4040 Chester Avenue curb, gutter and sidewalk. (Ward 2)
1. Resolution confirming assessment for curb, gutter and sidewalk construction costs and
authorizing the collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax Colllector.
2. Agreement with property owner to pay curb, gutter and sidewalk construction costs in
installments and notice of special assessment lien.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND: 1. To assist in paying the construcl:ion costs for curb, gutter and sidewalk, the property
owner at 4040 Chester Avenue has entered into an agreement with the City to spread the construction costs
over a three (3) year period, interest free, to be cc, llected with their property taxes in accordance with
Municipal Code Section 14.12.390.B.
Currently, Section 14.12.390. B provides that interest on the unpaid balance also be charged.
However, staff believes that charging interest defeats the purpose of the ordinance (to provide Iow and
moderate income property owners an economically feasibte way to construct curb, gutter and sidewalk and
improve their property). Historically, interest has not been charged.
2. The Resolution authorizes the Kern County Tax Collector to collect the construction costs in three
equal payments over the next three years.

Job specification, salary and title change for Fire Inspector and job specification and salary

1)
Amendment No.5 to Resolution No. 66-99 Approving Memorandum of Understanding
for employees of the Blue and 'White Collar Units and adopting salary schedule and
related benefits.
RECOMMENDATION:
Personnel Committee recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the revised job specifications,
contingent upon Fire and Miscellaneous Civil Service Board approval.
BACKGROUND:
At the request of SEIU Local #770, under the provisions of our current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
representing Blue and White Collar employees, we conducted a classification/compensation study of Fire
Inspector and Industrial Waste Inspector. Because these classifications are closely related to other Inspector
classifications within the same bargaining unit, we simultaneously studied Financial Investigator, Building
Inspector 1/11 and Code Enforcement Officer 1/11. This analysis included a detailed cornparison of job duties
and minimum qualifications. In conjunction, we surveyed the designated survey agencies for salary
information.
Based upon the analysis referenced above, it was determined that Fire Inspectors are internally most closely
aligned with Code Enforcement Officer I and the salary' survey showed that they are compensated below the
survey average. The analysis also revealed that Industrial Waste Inspectors are internally most closely
aligned with Building Inspector I and the salary survey showed that they are compensated below the survey
average as well.
The analysis indicated that Financial Investigator is appropriately classified and compensated at its current
level.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Fire Inspector specification be revised to include current responsibilities
and qualifications, that the salary be adjusted upward by' approximately 17% to the Code Enforcement Officer
August 9, 2000, 9:09AM
S:~ADM[N RPT~lnspectors.wpd
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
I salary level and re-titled Fire Prevention/Environmental Officer. It is also recommended that the Industrial
Waste Inspector specification be revised to include current responsibilities and qualifications and that the
salary be adjusted upward by approximately 8% to the Building Inspector I salary level. In addition, it is
recommended that the Industrial Waste Inspector classification be moved from the Blue Collar to the White
Collar Unit.
This study was reviewed by the Personnel Committee on August 3, 2000.
This is being presented to Council first, in order to expedite the processing of these actions because the study
has taken an unusually long time.
Summary
The job specification will be presented to the Fire and Miscellaneous Civil Service Boards at their next
meetings. The increase in salaries will be funded through salary savings of vacant positions in Wastewater.
The Fire Department also has adequate funds in their budget to fund this increase. S.E.I.U. concurs with the
proposed recommendation.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the revised job specifications with salary
increases to become effective the beginning of the first full pay period following Council action.

Salary change for Crime Prevention Supervisor
1)
Amendment No. 2 to Resolution No. 108-99 setting salaries and related benefits for
Officers and Employees of the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and
Management Units and adopting salary schedule and related benefits.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Due to restructuring in the Police Department, the Crime Prevention Supervisor has the responsibility of
oversight and supervision of a number of Police Department programs. These include: all Crime Prevention
Programs, D.A.R.E., the Police Cadet Program, the Explorer Post, the Police Activities League and the
Juvenile Impact Program. These programs are high profile and greatly impact the Police Department and
the community. These programs will become even more important as the department moves toward
institutionalizing community policing.
Four (4) additional Police Officers were added to the list of personnel the Crime Prevention Supervisor must
supervise. The Crime Prevention Supervisor supervises ten (10) sworn officers, four (4) full-time and one (1)
part-time Community Relations Specialists, twelve (12) Cadets and thirty-five (35) Explorers. The Crime
Prevention Supervisor manages a budget of approximately $133,000 and, essentially, has more program and
personnel responsibility than most Police Sergeants.
Currently, the Crime Prevention Supervisor earns 7.62% less than the Communications Operations
Supervisor and Records Supervisor for comparable level of supervision and program responsibility.
Therefore, it's recommended that this classification be upgraded to the same salary grade as the
Communications Operations Supervisor and Records Supervisor.
Summary
The cost of the upgrade including salary and benefits is $5,617 per year.

BACKGROUND:
Craig Raudman's Victory Circle, Inc. (Victory Circle) is an existing business, located in Bakersfield at 3818
Buck Owens Blvd. Victory Circle has been serving Bakersfield and the California racing community since
1990. Their business has continued to grow and prosper during this time and they are currently operating
at maximum capacity.
Victory Circle is constructing a new 21,000 sq. ft. sales and service facility on four acres at 700 South Mt.
Vernon Avenue, in the Gateway Business Park in southeast Bakersfield. The site is also within the Enterprise
Zone, which will enable the company to receive state tax credits for hiring area residents and purchasing new
equipment. Construction will be a pre-engineered steel structure with a metal roof.
To finance the purchase of land and construction of a sales and service dealership facility, Victory Circle has
been approved for a $730,000 loan from Wells Fargo Bank. Les DenHerder, owner of the company, will be
contributing $100,000 in personal cash and land equity toward the project. The total estimated cost of the
facility exceeds $830,000. The proposed City financial assistance is a five year repayable loan for $50,000.
The majority of the proposed $50,000 City loan will be used to pay for the building permit fees, with the
remaining funds going to purchase new equipment for this project. The source of City funds is Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies.
The new manufacturing facility would create 21 new jobs over the next five years.

Agreement with Kern Delta Water District, CasUe & Cooke California, Inc., and Mountain Vista
Properties for canal relocation on Old River Road, between Pacheco Road and Campus Park
Drive. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 5848 required, as a condition for approval, that an irrigation ditch be
relocated. This apparently simple requirement led to a number of complicated issues that required the
involvement of several entities, including the above named parties to the agreement. This agreement has
been in process for over two years.
This agreement will allow for Old River Road to be constructed southerly from Campus Park Drive to Pacheco
Road and eventually Panama Lane. Also, it will allow the irrigation ditch and canal to be relocated in such
a manner that all parties in the agreement benefit and will fulfill the requirements of Tentative Tract 5848.
Under the terms of this agreement, Kern Delta Water District will relocate the Buena Vista Canal and eliminate
the irrigation ditch that connects with Old River Road. Castle & Cooke California, Inc. will pay for this
relocation. Mountain Vista Properties will provide the necessary right of way for relocating the canal and
irrigation ditch. The City of Bakersfield will be responsible to construct the west half of Old River Road,
adjacent to the relocated canal which will be included within the Transportation h'npact Fees program,
consistent with other roadways adjacent to the canal.

Design Consultant Contract with Kleinfelder, Inc., $44,375.00, for soil analysis for the Mohawk
Street Sewer Alignment, Phase II.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of contract.
BACKGROUND: Phase I of this project constructed a sewer line in Brimhall Road from Coffee Road
eastward beneath the Friant-Kern Canal. This second phase will continue the sewer line easterly to serve
the Doubletree Hotel area. The proposed alignment crosses the Equilon Refinery, and existing soil conditions
along this alignment need to be verified prior to bidding and construction. This agreement will hire a firm to
sample and analyze the soil along the alignment of the sewer.
In May 2000, staff sent a Request for Qualifications and Proposal to 12 local soil firms. On June 13, the
following four firms submitted responses: Kleinfelder Inc.; Soils Engineering, Inc.; Krazan & Associates, Inc.;
and BSK & Associates.
After reviewing the submitted Statements of Qualifications and Proposals, staff recommends approval of
agreement with Kleinfelder, Inc. as most beneficial to the City, based on qualifications and price.
The compensation is set at a not-to-exceed total of $44, 375.00
This project is budgeted within the Sewer Enterprise Fund. Sufficient funds are available within this project's
budget to cover this contract.

Approval of Three (3) year Lease Agreement with American Business Machines to lease a
Canon CLC-1000 Copier, Canon Editor F-l, and Interface Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Lease Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Police Department Crime Lab purchased a Canon CLC 700 copier in July 1997 for the printing
of colored crime scene photographs. Such photographs must meet certain quality specifications if they are to be used
in court as evidence in criminal cases.
It was estimated that over the five (5) year life span of the Canon CLC 700 copier, the Crime Lab would produce
2000 copies per month for a total of 120,000 copies. However, in the three (3) years it has been Jn use, the machine
has already produced 129,000 copies. The high volume of use has resulted in frequent need of repair, thus resulting
in down time for the Crime Lab. In addition, the current machine takes at least two (2) minutes, and sometimes as long
as three (3) minutes to print each photograph.
Therefore, Staff requests that the current copier be replaced with an updated model to better meet the needs
of the Department. The Canon CLC-1000 has a life expectancy of 500,000 copies, superior copy clarity, a print time
of 1% minutes for each photo, and a lower maintenance cost per page (from .$23 to $. 15). The retail of the CLC-1000,
withthenecessaryoptionsoftheCanon EditorF-1 and Interface Board is $62,000. However, Staffhaslocated, through
American Business Machines, a factory demo model that can be leased under a three (3) year government lease
program for $29,000. This price includes the new factory warranty and monthly maintenance. At the end of the lease,
the City can either buy the machine for $1 or trade it in for a new copier.
There is no budgetary impact as funds for the lease of the copier will come from existing Police Department
Investigation Division accounts.
Staff recommends approval of the attached three (:3) year Lease Agreement for a new Canon CLC-1000, with
the necessary options.

(Wards 1 and 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of all agreements, concurrence with Bakersfield Redevelopment
Agency's execution of a Revised Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement with Ray P. Olmscheid
Development Group and authorization of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
1. Since Ray Olmscheid Development Group ("Developer" herein) has requested City and
S:\COUNCIL~Admins~revlsedenaadmin.wpd
August 8, 2000, 3;50PM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency ("Agency" herein) assistance in assembling real property parcels for the
Project, this reimbursement agreement would require Developer to reimburse the City for certain costs
(exclusive of City staff costs) associated with real property acquisition. These costs include: real property
appraisals and review appraisals.
2. Under the terms of the Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement, Developer agreed to enter into
an agreement with the City to reimburse the City for costs associated with the required environmental review
of the City Center Project. Such agreement is to be executed within sixty (60) days of the execution of the
Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement.
The reimbursement agreement will require Developer to reimburse the City for costs (exclusive of City
staff costs) associated with the environmental review of the City Center Project. Since part of the City Center
Project entails a City-owned facility, staff believes the City should bear its own staff costs, instead of having
Developer pay both the staff costs and the environmental consultants' cost.
3. RFP/RFQs for appraisal services were sent to six local MAI appraisers. Five responses were
received. Kern Appraisal Company is one of the large Iocat appraisal firms with two MAI's, Randall Franz
and George Green. Their proposal provides for subcontracting the residential work to Michael Burger,
another MAI. Kern Appraisal specializes in commercial/industrial properties and Michael Burger is best
known for his residential work -- providing a well-balanced appraisal team.
The review appraiser, Dallas Higdon, MAI is one of the most experienced and well regarded local
appraisers. He is well versed in all property types, which makes him well suited for this assignment.
4. Staff solicited three environmental review firms regarding this Project. Michael Brandman
Associates responded and has done several complex environmental impact reports for the City. This firm
is well-versed in all aspects of the California Environmental Quality Act and its response to the solicitation
best meets the City's needs regarding experience, cost and time.
The appraisal contracts and the environmental review contract will be contingent upon execution by
the City and Developer of the reimbursement agreements and receipt by the City of the deposit of funds
required by each reimbursement agreement.
5. At the June 21, 2000 meeting, the Agency voted unanimously to enter into an Exclusive Right
to Negotiate Agreement with Developer. On June 28, 2000, the City Council concurred with the Agency's
decision to enter into an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement with the Developer. On July 12, 2000,
Agency staff presented an Agreement to the Agency for approval and the Agency authorized execution of
that Agreement.
At the time the Exclusive Right to Negotiate was drafted, all parties assumed that the AME church
property (approximately two acres) would be excluded from the Project Site. Before the Exclusive Right to
Negotiate agreement was executed, the Developer me1: with representatives of the church and they wish the
property included in the Project Site.
A review of the Site Map attached to the original Exclusive Right to Negotiate agreement raised some
questions about how to best determine which properties were included and which properties were excluded
from the agreement. To resolve that confusion, a new Site Map has been prepared
S:\COUNCIL~Admins~revisedenaadmin.wpd
August 8, 2000, 3:50PM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 3
As a reminder, this Agreement does not commit the Agency to take any action in furtherance of the
Project except to negotiate in good faith to achieve a Disposition and Development Agreement that is
acceptable to the parties.
6. As the environmental and real property acquisition costs have not been previously budgeted,
it is necessary to appropriate the funds to pay the consultants.

Agreement with Holiday Inn Selact to for room rental, refreshments, and AV equipment
for "The Disney Keys to Excellence" training seminar in an amount not to exceed
$20,000.
Appropriate $103,250 revenue/expenses for training to Recreation and Parks
OperatiNg Budget within the Ganeral Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreements and apprepriation of the monies.
BACKGROUND:
On April 11, 2000, the department hosted The Disney Keys to Management Excellence customer service
training program. This event was conducted by the Disney Institute of Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando,
Florida.
The benefits to the city included providing top-quality training locally, enhancing the department's and city's
image, and using the net proceeds to purchase equipment for a mobile recreation program.
Based on their experience in Bakersfield, the Disney Institute has requested that we host a new training on
November 14, 2000. They also mentioned that they will be using our training as a benchmark for future
training conducted throughout the United States.
S:~Admins\Mgtexcel2admin.wpd
July 31, 2000, 4:15PM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
The new program will cover topics such as creativity and innovation, developing customer loyalty, and quality
service.
Contractual provisions call for the Disney Institute to:
produce promotional brochures and information
offer media assistance
provide program materials
arrange for qualified presenters and all necessary videos
provide room decorations
The department will:
distribute promotional brochures
secure a meeting facitity
provide audiovisual equipment
handle registration
coordinate meal functions
The agreement also provides for the split of revenue between the city and the Disney Institute. The Disney
Institute will receive 65% of the "base" registration fee of $260 (i.e. excludes portion of registration fee for
food). For the November training, the department is estimating between 320-350 participants. With the
anticipated revenue of $103,250 (i.e. 350 participants at $295 each), Disney Institute will receive $59,150.
The department will expend a maximum of $28,370 for expenses related to the seminar (e.g. postage, room
rental, audio-visual equipment, meals) from the city's portion of $44,100. In April, the city's portion of the
revenue was approximately $9,000 which was used to purchase a cargo trailer for a mobile recreation
program. The "profit" for this training is estimated to be as much as $15,730 and is proposed to be used to
purchase one additional trailer and to fund equipment and staff to begin the mobile program.
In the event that the program is canceled (e.g. lack of registration), the only expense to the department will
be that of mailing the seminar brochure. This expense is estimated at $8,370.

Restrictive Covenant Agreement wi'th Bethany Services to create 20-foot non-buildable
easement on property adjacent to Bakersfield Homeless Center.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the agreement.
BACKGROUND: Bethany Services intends to construct a building on the Bakersfield Homeless
Center property. In order to avoid the costly expense of one-hour rated construction, the Center has
asked the City to establish a 20-foot non-buildable easement on the City's adjacent property. The non-
buildable easement will allow the Center to accommodate the Center's expansion in constructing a
building on their lot line. Because this is an easement which enbumbers City property, it must be
approved by the City Council.

Amendment No. I to Agreement Nc,. 97-306 with West Coast Land Service, a sole
proprietorship to lease mineral rights in real property (5.207 acres) located at Yokuts Park
and the Kern River. (Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: On July 20, 1997, the City acquired approximately five acres from Fred Jones.
Approximately, 4.5 acres is within the Kern River Channel the remaining .5 acres is within Yokuts Park.
Shortly, thereafter the City was contacted by West Coast Land Service, an independent oil and gas broker
(W.C.L.S.) who is leasing the area "prospect" for a clie~t interested in drilling for oil. On July 26, 1997, the
City Council approved Agreement No. 97-306 with West Coast Land Service for the lease of these mineral
rights. The salient terms of the original lease are: the pdmary term is three years, or as long as there is
production in paying quantities; the rent is $500.00 total for the initial three year primary term; if they drill
and produce in paying quantities the royalty is 1/6; they can not come onto the City's property, but rather
drill from adjacent lands 500 feet below the surface; provides for pooling with other properties. W.C.L.S.
has indicated the rental and royalty exceed that previously paid any other lessor in the prospect.
West Coast Land Service has requested that the primary term be extended an additional three years with
all other lease terms remaining the same. Hence, the City will be paid $500.00 for the three year extension.
To clarify various issues, including the payment of rent, the City and W.C.L.S. agreed to include language
(addendum) to the original lease. A copy is attached 'for your reference.

Contract Change Order No. 1, $22,000.00, to Agreement No. 99-304 with HPS Construction
Company for the trunk sewer replacement along South Chester Avenue from Planz Road to
El SerenoAvenue. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This change order is for removing and replacing approximately 1500 feet of substandard
median curb with full-height City Standard median curb on South Chester Avenue between Planz Road and
the San Joaquin Valley Railroad. The specifications for the ,project required the contractor to replace any
improvements damaged due to his operations. The method the contractor used for installing the sewer line
resulted in substantial sections of the median island curbing being damaged which obligated his replacement
of these damaged sections. This change order allows the contractor to replace all of the median curb (even
that which was not damaged by his operations) with standard full-height median curb so that there will be a
consistent City Standard median curb along this segrnent of South Chester Avenue.
This project is budgeted within the Sewer Enterprise Fund. Sufficient funds are available within this project's
budget to cover this change order.

Revisions to Miscellaneous Civil Service Rule 6.01 - Eligible Lists Established and
Rule 6.02 - Tie Scores
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of revisions.
BACKGROUND:
Staff and the Central California Association of Public Employees (CCAPE) have been working together to
develop a standardized test for a classification of positions (ie., Light Equipment Operator, Heavy Equipment
Operator, etc.) in order to streamline the testing process. The revision to Rule 6.01 allows successful
candidates from a class of positions to be placed on a common eligible list which will be available to
departments/divisions when a vacancy occurs, Subsequent performance testing witl be conducted by
individual departments/divisions.
The revision to Rule 6.02 is another effort toward consistency among the various CMl Service Boards and
will allow candidates in equal standing to be certified on the eligible list as a tie. This will eliminate the use
of arbitrary measures to break ties and allow additional candidates to be referred to departments.
The Central California Association of Public Employees endorses the revisions.
The Miscellaneous Departments Civil Service Board approved the revisions on July 18, 2000.

established for the Annual Conference which is being held September 7-9, 2000 in Anaheim. The annual
business meeting will be held on Saturday, September 9, at 9:00 a.m., at the Anahei[m Convention Center.
The Legislative and Litigation Committee met on July 13, 2000, to discuss this issue. The Delegate and
Alternate are typically appointed from among elected leaders attending the Annual Conference. At the
time of the meeting, Councilmember Couch indicated his willingness to serve as Voting Delegate.
Councilmember Sullivan indicated her willingness to serve as Alternate.
The Legislative & Litigation Committee is, therefore, recommending that Council appoint Councilmember
Couch as League Voting Delegate and Councilmernber Jacquie Sullivan as Alternate.

August 10, 2000, 8:57AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
BACKGROUND:
This project was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission with minor alterations to
the conditions of approval after three hours of public Hearing on June 15, 2000. There have been
significant changes to the project over the course of the year the project has been going through the
environmental impact report process. The project involves the redevelopment of the abandoned
sewerage treatment plant for the North of the River Sanitation District which relocated to a site near
the City of Shafter.
The application started out as a 504 acre annexation that included zone changes and general plan
amendments to change a variety of industrial zones to residential and commercial developments
(see attached Exhibit" C"). The entire 504 acres were annexed on April 24, 2000. Two major issues
arose during the early environmental consultation period and one issue arose the night of the public
hearing.
The first of these issues involved the potential land use conflicts between the proposed residential
areas in close proximity to the existing numerous industrial businesses located adjacent to the south
and east. The industrial businesses documented the potential hazards of locating residential
development so close to their existing facilities. The hazards identified included possible explosions,
fires and accidental release of hazardous chemicals.
Professional evaluation (found in the EI R) of the project resulted in the identification of setbacks from
each of the various industrial uses. Setbacks between these disparate uses are based on the
science of modeling the worst credible case for potential explosions, fires or hazardous chemical
release. The setbacks required the removal of proposed future residents from the area of potential
hazards. Some of these setbacks are quite extensive, as much as 2,600 feet from the site containing
potentially hazardous chemicals.
This matter was resolved by agreement between the applicant and industrial businesses to maintain
a transition industrial area between the existing industrial and proposed residential development.
Mr. Carter sold that area of his project within any of the several setbacks (see EIR) to the adjacent
industrial users. In addition, he placed covenant restrictions on the property sold to restrict the
industrial uses permitted to only those which wilil not have further impacts to the applicant's remaining
residential development. This settlement reduced the applicant's project to 170 acres, two "islands"
of residential development and one area for commercial development. The City Fire Department
(Environmental Services) and all the original industrial users in the area are no longer expressing any
concerns in regards to this project and did through a representative express support for this project
at the June 15, 2000, Planning Commission meeting.
The second issue, related to the area's overall road system but not a part of this general plan
amendment, was raised by an adjacent property owner (Olive-Landco Associates, represented by
Roger Mclntosh) who argued that Landco DrivE; should link up with a street along his property rather
than Knudsen Drive as shown on the Circulation Element of the general plan. Subsequent to the City
and County jointly adopting the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan in 1990 the county
unilaterally changed the map for future streets from Landco Drive connecting to Knudsen Drive to
Olive-Landco Associates' preferred alignment which intersects Olive Drive at the Highway 99
August 10, 2000, 8:57AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 3
interchange. The City is bound to follow its adopted general plan and could not change the Landco
Drive alignment without proper notice to affected property owners and other agencies (ie. Kern
County, CalTrans and Kern Cog). Recognizing the need to restore consistency between city and
county plans, staff of both jurisdictions have met and agreed to study the Olive Drive/Highway 99
area to determine what might be done to alleviate existing problems and optimize future street
relationships. If the results of that study indicated that the city's circulation plan should be amended
then a change would be considered in noticed public hearings by the Planning Commission and City
Council. If, on the other hand, it is found that the county's map should be changed back to the
original plan, then the county would initiate a general plan amendment. In the meantime, Kyle Carter
offered to dedicate right-of-way which could be used to satisfy either plan and the Planning
Commission accepted this solution. As it is, the general plan amendment and existing adopted
circulation plan are consistent as required by State law. It would be improper at this time to amend
the Circulation Element with respect to Landco Drive's alignment without proper analysis, notice and
public hearing.
Even with the condition to dedicate fifty-five feet of right-of-way where Mr. Mclntosh insisted it should
be, he has now appealed the amount and timing of the dedication. Staff recommends against
granting the appeal but does recommend that the condition be amended to reflect the intent to
require the dedication "to the extent necessary to comply with the city's adopted general plan and
traffic study as determined by the Public Works Director (see Condition No. 84).
Although the general plan for the Olive to Knudsen connection may not be amended in this
proceeding, if the City Council wishes such an amendment to be evaluated, Mr. Mclntosh's proposed
realignment may be referred to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation with due
notice and hearing.
The final issue arose at the "eleventh hour" during the meeting on June 15, 2000. An industrial
property owner along Seven Seas Avenue voiced concerns over the noise typically generated by the
existing industrial uses along this street which would probably result in complaints from the future
adjacent multi-family residences. In response, the Planning Commission required a setback between
the two uses which may only be used for sump sites, roads, parking or yard area subject to a noise
study to verify that the noise level on the residential area is consistent with noise standards for
"sensitive uses" found in the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan. This requirement ensures
no proposed residential dwelling adjacent to industrial property would be exposed to noise in excess
of the general plan standards.
The project has changed dramatically over the last year in response to various concerns. Now as
recommended for approval it represents an excellent redevelopment and in-fill project which will
provide a good buffer (either a canal, road, sumps or land area) between the existing industrial and
proposed residential development. In addition, this project provides the necessary financial incentive
to clean up a large property covered with various abandoned oil recovery structures, oil storage
tanks, and an huge network of underground oil pipes.
The final EIR and appendices were delivered to the City Council on June 2, 2000.

General Plan Amendment and Zone Chan~e No. P00-0235 (Ward 4)
Castle & Cooke California, Inc. is requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the
land use designation from HMR (High Medium Density Residential) 1'o LR (Low Density
Residential) on 8.62 acres and to, change the zoning from PUD (Planned Unit
Development) to R-1 (One Family Dwelling) on 65.44 acres. The project site is located
south of Campus Park Drive and west of Old River Road.
Resolution adopting the Negative Declaration and approving the amendment to the
Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan from HMR
(High Medium Density Residential) to LR (Low Density Residential).
An Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code and Zoning Map No. 123-
18 from PUD (Planned Unit Development) to R-1 (One Family Dwelling) upholding
the decision of the Planning Commission and denying the applicant's appeal to the
conditions of approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and first reading of the Ordinance approving the
project and denying the appeal.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission held public hearings for GPA/ZC P00-0235 on June 12, and June 15,
2000. The project was recommended for approval by both staff and the Planning Commission.
During the public hearing, staff requested the additional condition for a second lane to be
improved in front of that portion of land at the southeast corner of Campus Park Drive and
Mountain Vista Drive (ie. the 10 acre proposed school site). The condition was approved by the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission also added the condition that if the Buena Vista
Canal is relocated, a 6' high chain link fence shall be constructed concurrently along both sides
of the canal. As well, if the Buena Vista Canal is not relocated, it shall be fenced on both sides
prior to issuance of a building permit within one quarter of a mile of the canal. Beth of the above
August 9, 2000, 9:22AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
conditions were proposed and approved to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. The first
one to provide a safer route between the development along the south side of Campus Park Drive
and the existing school fronting on Mountain Vista Drive. The second condition was required to
discourage access to the canal by children. A map is attached showing Castle & Cooke's
development and the location of Earl Warren Junior High School with the route between them and
the road improvements in contention. The applicant has submitted an appeal to both conditions
(see attached letter).
In the appeal on the second lane road improvement, the applicant states that the condition is not
required by the Subdivision Map Act nor is it justified for purposes of health and safety. Staff and
the Planning Commission disagree and believe that the improvement is necessary to adequately
protect school children and others accessing Fad Warren Junior High School along Campus Park
Drive and Mountain Vista Drive. The Planning Commission also added that "If the subject 10.03
acre school site, located at the southeast corner of Campus Park Drive and Mountain Vista Drive,
is sold to a non-governmental agency, the applicant shall be reimbursed by the developer of the
site for improvements associated with construction of the second lane." The City Council has the
authority to attach reasonable conditions of approval to general plan and zoning approvals to
protect public health, safety and welfare.
In the appeal on the fencing requirement for Buena Vista Canal, the applicant states that upon
development, the canal would be fenced in conformance with the Ordinance. However, the
Planning Commission upon finding that the ordinance would only require fencing of the canal
immediately adjacent to the subdivision or phase of subdivision, determined that to adequately
protect the public health, safety, and welfare, the canal must be fenced immediately upon
relocation or, if not relocated, prior to issuance of a building permit within one quarter of a mile of
the canal. Therefore, to adequately protect the public health, safety, and welfare regarding the
proximity of residential development to the canal, staff and the Planning Commission are
recommending approval of the condition.
Staff is recommending that the City CounciI deny the applicant's appeal, as submitted, and
approve GPA/ZC P00~0235 as recommended by the Planning Commission.

Planning Commission Public Hearing
The Planning Commission held public hearings on June 12 and 15, 2000 and July 3 and 6, 2000 and
recommended approval of the Negative Decliaration, General Plan Amendment and Zone Change
with extensive changes to the project.
Issues raised by opponents of the project included the following: increase in traffic on Ming Avenue;
tack of proper streets and controlled Canter Way intersection for delivery trucks; lights, noise and
congestion in the parking lot; lights being on all night and their affect on the apartments along Rain
Tree Court and the condominiums along Ming Avenue; and vandalism.
Halferty Development Company, LLC, has met with the adjoining property owners at two
neighborhood meetings. Extensive changes to the project design were made to address the
concerns expressed by the neighborhood. There remained some concerns expressed at the public
hearing of June 15. For that reason the Plarming Commission sent the project to a subcommittee
(Zoning Ordinance Committee) which met on June 21. The result of this meeting were 13 conditions
of approval which addressed access, lighting, loading dock design, building setbacks, landscaping,
parking and trash bin locations.
The full commission approved the project at the meeting of July 6, 2000 and added another condition
of approval (see condition numbers 1-14 Exhibit A). Several adjacent property owners spoke in
support of the project and the commission acknowledged the proposal is both an in-fill and a
redevelopment project within an area completely "built out."

Ambulance Rate Review Process.
RECOMMENDATION: The Budget and Finance Committee recommends continuing the current rate
review process and to have staff provide ambulance rate survey information to the Council prior to the rate
review hearing.
BACKGROUND:
Councilmember Carson referred the issue of the ambulance rate review process to the Budget and Finance
Committee. The Budget and Finance Committee met and asked staff to provide information on the process
used to review rates for ambulance service in the city. For many years staff conducted rate surveys of
several other cities and reviewed this information with the City Council and ambulance providers. Staff
would make recommendations regarding proposed rates and the Council, after review by the Budget and
Finance Committee and discussions and negotiations with the ambulance providers would adopt certain
rate adjustments or in some cases changes to rate categories. Ambulance companies generally would
justify the rate changes due to cost of living increases, increases in insurance costs, fuel costs, etc. This
process was time consuming for the Council, staff and the ambulance providers.
On Mamh 10, 1995 the City Council, in response to a request by ambulance service providers, amended
the Ambulance Regulation Ordinance to provide for a new method of ambulance rate review by the City
Council. The Ordinance now requires the companies to submit their proposed rates by January 1st each
year and that a public headng be conducted within 60 days. The Council may increase, decrease, accept
or alter the charges as submitted by the ambulance service providers. The new rates are to take effect on
Apdl 1 following the public headng and upon adoptio~ of a resolution by the City Council setting the rates.
The new process provides a graater opportunity for public input and significantly reduces the time needed
for review for every proposed change to the rates. Staff continues to review the basis for any rate increase
proposed by the ambulance providers.
Staff prepared a brief informational survey for the Committee of rates for the cities which had been used
in the past for rate review purposes. Ambulance rate structures are not consistent throughout the state,
and due to differences in billing methods, rate catego~ies, and local regulatory and operational criteria the
comparison and benchmarkir~g of rates is cumbersome and a somewhat subjective process.
July 20, 2000, 10:29AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
For example, the City of Bakersfield Ordinance requires that all ambulances responding to emergency calls
be staffed at an Advanced Life Support (ALS) level, others surveyed may not have that requirement. Some
providers have the ability to utilize a "laundry Iisi' of fees for additional items such as use of a cervical collar
splints, etc. Some have alt inclusive fees. One of the cities surveyed (Sacramento) has their Fire
Department provide ambulance service and there is a $50.00 charges for a medical response by the fire
truck where there is no medical transport. Some counties provide rate regulation and some do not. Some
areas provide for exclusive operating areas for ambulance providers. Even the rate structures for Hall
Ambulance within the City of Bakersfield and those for the unincorporated areas of the County of Kern
differ. There also may be some differences in the rates based on the different implementation dates of rate
setting for each area. These and other factors make rate review a complex matter.
The Committee reviewed this information with steff and determined that the current process could be
improved if staff were to provide additional rate survey information to the Council when a request for a rate
increase is made. Therefore, the Committee recommends continuing the current rate review process and
to have staff provide ambulance rate survey information to the Council prior to the rate review headng.

Ice Rink Studies
APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HEAD
CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDATION:
The Community Services Committee recommends placing the feasibility study and preliminary design work
on hord, until the status of the City Center project is more clear.
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council meeting of May 10, 2000, the City Council authorized $50,000 for a feasibility study and
preliminary design work relative to attracting an ice rink to Bakersfield.
At about the same point in time, the City Center developer teamed up with a group from Portland, Oregon,
and they proposed an addition of a community recreational facility to the City Center proposal. That facility
includes a full sized ice rink, as well as a gymnasium for basketball, volleyball, etc.
The recreational facility in City Center would use its own design and its own feasibility study. Both would be
unique to that proposal at that location. The work that would be done for a stand alone facility at another
location would not be applicable to City Center.
The staff had a designer selected and a contract ready to execute. A list of finalists for the feasibility study
had been identified, and the process to select one was ready to go.
The dilemma is this:
1) If City Center goes through, the $50,000 spent on a stand alone facility would be wasted.
2) If City Center fails, the $50,000 worth of work would be needed.
July 26, 2000
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
3)
If the contracts are delayed while City Center is pending, and City Center is considered for 6 months
and fails, there would be another delay to issue the contracts and start the work, thus losing more
time. The $50,000 of work in this regard could be viewed as an insurance policy - doing it speeds the
back up plan, if City Center fails.
Faced with this dilemma, the staff took the issue to the Community Services Committee. The Committee
wanted to hold off on issuance of the contracts, so as not to waste $50,000. If City Center is successful, the
money would be better spent for the land assembly at that site. Should City Center fall through, the studies
could be immediately reactivated.
Postcript:
Another group in town is asking for land, both at Metro Park and from NOR, on Coffee Road,
to build a recreational facility that would include ice. We have no basis for knowing their
likelihood of success, but their design, too, is unique to their proposal.

Ordinance Repealing Sec. 15.64.180 of the Bakersfield Municipal
Code Regarding Unsupervised Fuel Dispensing
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading.
BACKGROUND:
Article 52 of the California Fire Code, which addresses motor vehicle fuel dispensing stations, states in Section
5201.6.3:
"Unsupervised dispensing is allowed when the owner or operator provides, and is
accountable for daily site visits, regular equipment inspection and maintenance,
conspicuously posted instructions for the safe operation of dispensing equipment, and
posted telephone numbers for the owner er operators."
Bakersfield Municipal Code section 15.64.180 adds to section 5201.6.1.1 of the Uniform Fire Code the following
provision:
(6.1.1) Approved special dispensing devices such as, but not limited to remote preset types are permitted at
service stations provided that emergency controls are installed and are operational at a location acceptable to
the Fire Chief. Except at membership or account-only service stations, the dispensing of Class I liquids shall
be under the control of a competent attendant at all times.
As shown above, the Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 15.64.180 modified the California Fir(; Code language to limit
unsupervised dispensing to membership or account only service stations. The City of Bakersfield currently has
approximately 40 gas station facilities that utilize card readers. Considering the technological advances in both safety
and leak detection monitoring, it would be appropriate for these stations to be able to operate after hours unsupervised.
Adoption of this ordinance would Repeal this section of the, municipal code and permit these facilities to operate like
a cardlock facility after hours. Enforcement would then be in accordance with the existing California Fire Code
language.
