CONSENT CALENDAR Resolutions Item 11j. Resolution in Support of SB 34. The current "Megan's Law" (AB 488) contains loopholes that allow for eligible exclusion from the site, which compromise the effectiveness of the whole system. SB 34 will close those loopholes by prohibiting sex offenders from legally removing themselves from the web site. Item 11k. Resolutions reaardina Retiree Health Savinas Plan. The plan allows employees to put dollars into an investment account, pre-tax, and to use those dollars for legitimate medical expenses, tax free, after separation from employment. These funds can also be used for a spouse and dependents. Blue and White employees voted to adopt the plan, mandating that 1% be set aside into each employee's account and they can then voluntarily contribute and additional 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10%. This was part of the last labor contract which had complications that took a while to resolve. Another feature of the plan allows them to designate how much, if any, of their sick leave and vacation, at termination, will go into their investment fund, pre-tax. Management employees have agreed to go a year without any cost of living or other benefit increase in order to have such a plan.

KAH is requesting assistance up to $300,000 of HOME Investment Partnership Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) funds which are available from FY 2002, FY 2003, and FY 2004. KAH is currently only one of three affordable housing developers CHDO certified by the City. The CHDO funds will be a grant to KAH as long as the units remain affordable for a period of 15 years, which is covered by the affordability period that is required by KAH's 1991 agreement with HUD. Item 11r. Cooperative Aareement with Kern Countv for Street Improvements related to the Allen Road Sewer Proiect. The City is planning to construct a new sanitary sewer line on Allen Road, from Rosedale Highway to Noriega Road, a portion of which is in the County. This new line will allow connections of new developments and relieve existing lines that are nearing capacity. The County identified certain street improvements that can be constructed as part of the sewer construction project. These improvements will be paid by the County, and will consist of widening Allen Road, from Rosedale Agenda Highlights June 22, 2005 Page 2 Highway to Meacham Road, and adding curb and gutter to this same area.

This change incurs additional costs because of the additional requirements needed to complete it, and the increased consultant time and materials. The developer is being required to provide an additional $43,000 to offset the costs. The amount of $35,993 will be paid directly to Michael Srandman & Associates, and $7,007 is estimated to cover City costs. Items 11bb. and cc. Contract Chanoe Orders reoardino the Park at River Walk.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of resolution and approval of the agreement. BACKGROUND: The existing Police mobile data radio system uses the Motorola RD-LAP/National Crime Information Center approved encryption system. The new mobile data radio modems must be Motorola RD-LAP compatible with existing radio infrastructure. The Public Works Communications Division has negotiated a 17% discount with Motorola for 24 high quality RD-LAP encrypted mobile data modems. The Police Department has transferred $72,000 to the Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase of the Motorola radio modems.

CITY MANAGER TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director DEPARTMENT HEAD CITY ATTORNEY DATE: June 9, 2005 SUBJECT: Compacting/washing equipment at Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 (Ward 1): 1. Resolution determining that appropriate compacting/washing equipment to process grease from waste haulers at Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 cannot be reasonably obtained through usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding therefore and purchase the "Vulcan Screenings Washing Press model EWP 400/1200" from The Coombs-Hopkins Company, not to exceed $76,700. 2. Appropriate $8,500 Sewer Enterprise Fund Balance to the Public Works Department's Operating Budget. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of resolution and approval of appropriation. BACKGROUND: The City's Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 receives a large amount of septage and grease from waste haulers on a daily basis. Accepting these loads from haulers provides a service to the community. The grease loads accepted offers several benefits and costs to the wastewater treatment operation. One benefit is income. The City generated $568,000 in income last fiscal year from septage and grease haulers. The other benefit is reduced costs in electricity purchased from PG&E. Grease helps produce large quantities of methane gas and the City of Bakersfield's Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 has been able to utilize this gas to generate electrical power onsite to operate the plant. Last fiscal year the cost of purchased electricity was approximately $171,000. Without the contribution of grease to help generate electrical power onsite the annual cost to purchase electricity would be approximately $720,000. Therefore accepting grease from waste haulers saved approximately $549,000 in annual electrical costs. One drawback however is that grease is harder to screen at the front end of the plant which is causing problems for the aging existing compactor which is in need of replacement. Operations staff has been spending several hours per day to remove grease from the compactor due to the inability of it to effectively process the grease. Increasing staff time to maintain the existing aging compactor and increasing grease loads has necessitated replacement of the existing compactor with a new unit. Two different demonstration compactorlwasher units have been used at Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 to determine which manufacturer's equipment will provide superior long term trouble-free operation. Input from plant personnel, comparison of the design specifications, consideration of increase in grease loads and plant influent flows, and the extreme adverse conditions this equipment has to operate under, the Vulcan Screenings Washing Press model EWP 400/1200 is the only compactorlwasher that can process the volume of grease accepted.

(Ward #2) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. BACKGROUND: In November 2004, Congress appropriated funds for special projects under HUD's Economic Development Initiative (EDI). As part of this appropriation, the City of Bakersfieid received $277,760 for use towards the Baker Street Corridor, a streetscape improvement project. The City of Bakersfield will be the lead agency and recipient of those funds. Prior to receipt of funds, the City must complete an application which HUD will review for consistency with the intent of Congress and applicable requirements explaining how the funds will be used. HUD will then notify us regarding final approval of funding for the project. The attached resolution approves the submittal of the grant application to HUD for the EDI program. The project is proposed to be streetscape improvements on the west and east sides of Baker Street, Truxtun Avenue to the south and Jackson Street to the north. Streetscape elements are to include the installation of trees, tree grates, automatic irrigation, lights with banners, and trash cans. The project will reconstruct the railroad crossing; install curbs, gutters, sidewalks and streetlights between Sumner to Jackson streets. This location was designated by staff as the best suited site for the use of these monies since staff completed the blocks between Jackson and Niles streets during Phase I of the streetscape project. Additionally, the railroad tracks act as a natural divider of Baker Street. Additional funding includes $271,000 of Community Development Block Grant monies currently allocated for the project. If the application is approved, funding will be forthcoming to the City. The City will be the lead agency and responsible for overall project management, implementation, and compliance with federal requirements applicable to the grant. The staff administrative assistance required from the City is project oversight, federal environmental review, grant closeout, and miscellaneous post project monitoring.

The original Planned Drainage Area (PDA) was adopted by the City and County of Kern in August, 1978. This PDA is currently part of Ordinance Section 16.32.060 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to Drainage Facilities. Rapid development in the area has brought a need to update this study.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution. BACKGROUND: The State of California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 488 in the 2003-2004 session that required the California Department of Justice to establish an internet web site disclosing information on registered sex offenders. The legislation, referred to as "Megan's Law" was signed into law on September 24, 2004. The existing law requires the California Department of Justice to compile and categorize, by community of residence and zip code, specified information concerning registered sex offenders who are considered "serious" and "high risk". However, the California Department of Justice recently discovered that since the "Megan's Law" website went online in Fall 2004, 2,677 offenders have been granted exclusion from the site. An additional 7,288 have applied for exclusion. The current "Megan's Law" (AB 488) contains loopholes which allow for eligible exclusion from the site for the following: Child molestation involving the annoying or molesting of a child under the age of 18 with lewd intent both physically and verbally; Sexual battery through the use of physical restraint or through unlawful restraint against a person's will for a sexual purpose: Conduct of iewd acts, including incest, with a child under the age of 14. The "opt ouf' exclusion clause in "Megan's Law" (AB 488) compromises the effectiveness of the whole system. Removal of the opt-out exclusion clause would allow the public the security of knowing they will have adequate information about the identities and location of registered sex offenders who live nearby.

Resolution of the Vantagecare Retirement Health Savings Program for the Employees in Blue and White Employee Groups 2. Resolution of the Vantagecare Retirement Health Savings Program for the Employees of the Management Group RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the resolutions. BACKGROUND: In the City's last MOU with the Blue and White Collar employees, it was agreed that .5% of salary would be set aside in the first year of the agreement and an additional .5% in the second year of the agreement for use in helping to fund retiree medical insurance. After an actuarial study was completed, the employees original plan was determined to not be feasible. In looking for another way to achieve their goal, this retiree health savings plan was explored. It allows the employees to put dollars into an investment account, pre-tax and to use those dollars for legitimated medical expenses, tax free, after separation from employment with the city. In addition, the account funds can be used for the same purposes for a spouse and dependents and can be given, tax free, upon death to a spouse or dependent. The Blue and White employees voted to adopt this plan, mandating that the 1 % set aside be put into each employees' account. Also, the employees may voluntarily contribute 2, 4, 6. 8 or 10% of their salary pre- tax. Another feature of the plan allows the employee to designate how much, if any, of their sick leave and vacation, at termination will go into their investment fund, pre-tax. The Management empioyees would aiso like to have a retiree health savings plan and have agreed to go a year without any cost of living increase or any other benefit increase in order to have such a plan. Their plan is similar to the Blue and White plan except that it does not have a mandatory contribution. June 13, 2005, 5:37PM S:\ADMINRPTlRHS Resolution dot --_.-µ-,-,........

Green & Company LLC ($43,268) for a full scope annual audit of the 2004-05 fiscal year. RECOMMENDATION: The Budget and Finance Committee recommends approval of the agreement. BACKGROUND: In March 2005, inquiries were sent to approximately 40 local CPA firms, with six firms expressing an interest in the City Audit. Requests for Proposals were sent to the interested audit firms. Five of the firms attended a mandatory pre-proposal conference. Two firms submitted proposals which were reviewed by the Finance department. Both proposals were sent to the Budget and Finance Committee with a recommendation to interview each firm. The Budget and Finance Committee interviewed both firms on May 11, 2005. The firm of Mayer Hoffman, McCann (Bakersfield, CA - Ben Reyes, Partner) submitted a first year cost proposal $72,230 (746 hours). The firm of M. Green and Company LLC (Visalia, CA - Justin Morales, Partner) submitted a first year cost proposal of $43,268 (513 hours). There were questions by the committee regarding the different amount of hours the firms had in their respective proposals and whether there was a difference in the scope and breadth of the analysis of the audit by each firm. Each firm responded to the questions posed and the Finance Director stated he felt both firms were qualified to perform the City audit. The committee requested this item be brought back to them at their next meeting for further discussion. The Budget and Finance Committee met again on May 23, 2005 to discuss the selection of an audit firm. Finance Director Gregory J. Kljmko confirmed that both firms appear to be technically qualified to perform the annual audit. Assistant Finance Director Nelson K. Smith reported that three references were checked for each firm and neither firm received any negative comments. All of the references reported high quality of work by both audit firms and timely completion of their projects. The Budget and Finance Committee recommended the selection of M. Green and Company to perform the annual audit work for the 2004-05 fiscal year, with the option of up to four (4) one year extensions. The Request for Proposal issued in March 2005 contemplated a five year commitment with the selected firm, with the 2004-05 fiscal year being year 1 of 5. During the Budget and Finance Committee meeting the Finance Director recommended a cost of living factor be built into the contract so that future year costs do not exceed Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation measures, assuming no change in the scope of the audit and assuming no significant change in the audit workload as a result of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) actions that might take place in the future. M. Green and Company was agreeable to this additional contract language.

(Ward 3) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. BACKGROUND: On November 3, 2004, Bakersfield's City Council approved the transfer of CDBG project savings and program income to fund a $10,000 capital improvement project for Praise Tabernacle Community Family Center. The project consists of designing and installing a 30 foot wheelchair ramp for their modular building so that it can be used as a community meeting room. The funds will also pay for installation of a permanent foundation, an overhead cover to protect the ramp in inclement weather, and other eligible changes required to bring the building into compliance with the Uniform Building Code, as feasible. The ramp will make the modular unit accessible to physically disabled persons, qualifying it for use as a community meeting room. Construction will be completed by a licensed contractor, who will be chosen through a competitive bidding process. Praise Tabernacle Pentecostal Church Of God, Southern California District, Inc. is located at 3540 "L" Street. Praise Tabernacle sponsors Community Family Center (CFC), a charitable nonprofit organization that was established in the 34th Street Partnership area to serve the needs of low income families of the Bakersfield City School District near Stella Hills School. The primary functions of CFC are to facilitate a monthly distribution of food to low income residents, host 34th Street Partnership meetings, girl scouts, community health fairs and other community outreach efforts. These activities are currently taking place in the Praise Tabernacle Church. The modular building, which is located on the property of Praise Tabernacle Church, will allow a greater degree of flexibility for the efforts to the community. The Federal Government's Faith-based Initiative issued in 2003, modified HUD's regulations to allow for the proposed assistance. The process from start to finish will require 20 weeks from the date of agreement execution. Praise Tabernacle has agreed to use the property throughout the restricted use period for the purposes stated above.

(KAH) for $300,000 HOME Investment Partnership funds for the rehabilitation of the Park Real Apartment complex located at 414 Real Road. (WARD 1) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. BACKGROUND: Kern Affordable Housing, Inc. (KAH) is a qualified Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and is requesting financial assistance to pay for the rehabilitation of their 16 unit Park Real Apartment Complex. The Park Real Apartments were purchased by KAH in 1991. The units were a HUD Section 236 project that was in danger of converting to market rate. Golden Empire Affordable Housing, Inc. formed the non-profit entity KAH in order to purchase this property and the Villa San Dimas apartments to ensure they remained affordable housing for low income tenants. No major rehabilitation has taken place on the property since the purchase, although KAH has performed maintenance and minor rehabilitation activities on the property since its purchase. The rehabilitation items pursuant to this agreement would be minor and moderate in nature and would be consistent with the High priority need for rental rehabilitation as outlined in the Con Plan 2010. The units are currently occupied by low income tenants whose income is less than 60% of the area median. KAH is requesting assistance up to $300,000 of HOME Investment Partnership Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) funds which are available from FY 2002, FY 2003, and FY 2004. KAH is currently only one of three affordable housing developers CHDO certified by the City. The KAH proposed multi-family housing rehabilitation activity indicates project readiness and will assist the City in meeting its HOME 24 month commitment requirement for the FY 2002 funds (end of June). The CHDO funds will be a grant to KAH as long as the units remain affordable for a period of 15 years, which is covered by the affordability period that is required by KAH's 1991 agreement with HUD. The funds would be utilized for rehabilitation work that includes: plumbing; painting; carpet; sidewalk repair; cabinets and countertops; parking lot resurfacing: fence repair; and needed landscape activities. In adherence to City and HUD procurement requirements, KAH will conduct a competitive procurement for qualified contractors to complete the rehabilitation activities. Permanent or temporary relocation is not anticipated during the rehabilitation process.

Appropriate $500,000 County share to the Capital Improvement Budget within the Sewer Enterprise Fund (Wastewater Treatment Plant No.3). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement and appropriation. BACKGROUND: In July of this year, the City intends to advertise for bids for the installation of a new sanitary sewer line on Allen Road from Rosedale Highway to Noriega Road. This new line will allow connections of new developments that are coming into the City and also relieve existing lines that are nearing capacity. The project runs along a portion of Allen Road that is in the jurisdiction of Kern County. In coordinating the project with County Staff, the County has identified a stretch of Allen Road that can be improved by widening the roadway and adding curb and gutter.

Amendment NO.2 to Agreement No. 03-176 with Mcintosh & Associates; 2. Amendment NO.2 to Agreement No. 03-177 with Meyer Civil Engineering, Inc.; 3. Amendment NO.2 to Agreement No. 03-178 with QUAD KNOPF, Inc.; and 4. Amendment NO.2 to Agreement No. 03-179 with Ruettgers & Schuler, Civil Engineers. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendments. BACKGROUND: The current On-Call Civil Engineering and Surveying agreements, approved by City Council on June 25, 2003, are for services provided during Fiscal Years 2003-04 and 2004-05. These agreements will expire on June 30, 2005. However, the consultants are still working on various projects that will not be completed by that expiration date. Therefore, an extension to these agreements is required to provide for the services necessary to complete the assigned tasks on these various projects. This extension does not provide any additional compensation to the consultants as their fees for the various projects have already been approved. In addition, the amendments specifically exclude making any new work assignments to the consultants. Staff is currently in the process of evaluating interested firms for the next cycle of On-Call Civil Engineering and Surveying consultants. It is anticipated that those agreements will be on the agenda for the July 6, 2005, City Council meeting.

Agreement between Kronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & Girard and City of Bakersfield to provide legal services in an amount not to exceed $79,560. 2. Agreement between Klein, DeNatale, Goldner, Cooper, Rosenlieb & Kimball and City of Bakersfield to provide legal services in an amount not to exceed $79,560. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Agreements. BACKGROUND: At numerous times throughout the past year, City Council has expressed a strong desire to develop a Community Prosecution Program in an effort to preserve the safety and integrity of Bakersfield's business community and neighborhoods. Such a program, under the direction of the City Attorney and in cooperation with the District Attorney's Office, would provide dedicated personnel to the prosecution of certain crimes committed in the City of Bakersfield. The attached agreements contain the provisions for such a pilot program. In general, the agreements provide for the City to pay for outside legal counsel to handle the prosecution of criminal cases on a flat rate basis for six (6) months. Compensation to each firm will not exceed Seventy-Nine Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Dollars ($79,560). Each firm is required to perform a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours a week to the prosecution of City of Bakersfield crimes. Each attorney will receive a two (2) week "shadow" training period under the direction of the District Attorney's Office, and shall receive all clerical and necessary equipment from the District Attorney's Office. However, each attorney will report directly to the City Attorney's Office for ultimate authority. After six (6) months, the City Attorney will evaluate the program and provide City Council with relevant statistics and information to see if the program should be continued. The monies to compensate the outside counsel are within the City Attorney's 05/06 budget.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement and implementation of report recommendations. BACKGROUND: At the CitylCounty meeting of February 28th, 2005, staff was directed to develop a curbside bulky item collection program along the lines of the County's program. Staff reported on its findings at the City Council meeting of March 23'd and the program was approved for implementation on July 1st, 2005. A primary purpose of the program is to reduce illegal dumping. Household curbside bulky item collection eliminates a primary rationale for illegal dumping. Through this program, bulky items can be picked up conveniently at the curb at no additional cost to the customer. Funding for the program will come from the refuse fund balance and from the requested CPI rate increase. Consistent with the County program, residents will only need to make one call, to the Solid Waste Division's main number, (326-3114) and from there bulky item collection will be scheduled. Staff will process the calls, whenever possible utilizing local not-for-profits such as Goodwill, the Salvation Army and St. Vincent's de Paul for those bulky items that can be recycled and reused. Consistent with the City's hauling relationship with Kern Refuse Disposal, approximately 50% of the calls will be dispatched to the contractor, depending on the contractor's capacity to provide service. Residents will be limited to one service call per quarter, with a suggested limit of two items per pick up. The program will be available for single family units up to 4-unit dwellings. Larger apartments and commercial establishments can contact the City for bulky item removal service on a fee basis separately from this program. Notification to the public of this new service can be made through statements on regular billings, public service announcements, and through inserts in mailings. Besides an additional computer and a part-time clerk typist, no additional equipment or personnel are requested at this time, as equipment currently used for illegal dumping removal will be utilized for the curbside bulky item collection program. The Agreement outlines the relationship between the City and KRD for collection of household bulky items: KRD, acting as an independent contractor, will be provided with a schedule of collections based on their posted availability. KRD's compensation for performing this service will be $25.00 per call dispatched to them by the City with a suggested limit of two items per unit per quarter. KRD will provide their own equipment and be responsible for disposal or recycling of material they collect.

FROM: Honorable Mayor and City Council Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director TO: DATE: June 9, 2005 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment. BACKGROUND: Agreement No. 03-182 with Krazan & Associates was approved by the City Council on June 25, 2003 with a not to exceed compensation clause of $258,075. On January 28, 2004, Council approved Amendment No. 1 reducing the compensation amount of this agreement to $248,921.25. This reduction was offered by Krazan in light of the statewide budget crisis at the time. On October 6, 2004, Amendment 2 was approved by Council to increase the compensation to $550,000. This increase was required since the City's budget situation had improved allowing construction to proceed on a number of unplanned Capital Improvement Projects requiring material testing. Krazan & Associates is satisfactorily performing soils and material testing services on various construction projects making them the testing firm of record for these projects. This amendment extends the period of contract 03-182 with Krazan until December 31, 2005.

A. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 04-085 with Michael Brandman & Associates in the amount of $35,993.00 to prepare an Environmental Impact Report for General Plan AmendmenU Zone Change No. 03-1544. B Appropriate $35,993.00 developer's contribution to the development fund for the Development Services operating budget. RECOMMENDATION: Approve amendment to the agreement and appropriation. BACKGROUND: The West Ming EIR project (formally known as Buena Vista Ranch) is a 2,200-acre mixed use (residential, open space, commercial, light industrial) development that includes areas to be annexed to the City located south of Ming Avenue and west of Buena Vista Road. Staff is currently processing an Environmental Impact Report for the project. This is a very complex land use project which necessitated considerable unforeseeable environmental work. During the course of the project, it was determined that a change from a Program-level EIR (PEIR) to a Master-level EIR (MEIR) is necessary. This change incurs additional costs because an MEIR is more costly to prepare as a result of the extension and detailed amount of additional information requirements that must be included in a MEIR. This has caused increases in consultant time and materials. The developer is being required to provide an additional $43,000.00 to offset costs for the preparation of the EIR. The amount of $35,993.00 is to be paid to the EIR consultant, Michael Brandman & Associates, and $7,007.00 is the estimated amount to cover City costs. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2 The original contract (Agreement No. 04-085) with Michael Brandman & Associates (MBA) on March 24, 2004, and the City was for $142,860.00, to prepare the EIR. With this amendment the total amount for the contractor to prepare the EIR is $178,853.00. The contract (Agreement No. 04-084) with Castle and Cooke Development, the applicant, includes a clause that allows the City to request additional funds from the applicant to cover the costs of preparing the EIR. No amendment is needed to the contract with Castle and Cooke. JE Admin\6-2-mba ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT MEETING DATE: June 22, 2005 . AGENDA SECTION: Consent Calendar ITEM: ll.\.I.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement. BACKGROUND: The Greater Bakersfield Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is currently under contract with the City of Bakersfield for a duration of three years, effective through June 30, 2005. In late May, the CVB asked the City to consider the possibility of including a performance-based component in the renewal agreement. There has been some initial discussion between City staff and the CVB president, but it will require some time for staff to thoroughly analyze how performance based terms could be established and incorporated with existing contract terms in a way that would be mutually beneficial for the City and the CVB. Under the current agreement, the City agrees to pay the CVB eleven percent (11 %) of the total transient occupancy tax revenue realized by the City for the fiscal year that services are received. Payments are to be in twelve (12) monthly installments during the fiscal year based on the transient occupancy tax budgeted by the City, with reconciliation in September following the end of each fiscal year. This agreement is brought forward to extend the existing contractual conditions for a period up to one year, on a month-to-month basis. The extension will allow the City and the CVB adequate time to consider the feasibility of performance-based measures and will allow the CVB to continue to provide convention and promotional services to the City.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends award of contracts. BACKGROUND: The City has had non-exclusive agreements with Tri-State Auction Systems, a local business, since 1994 to sell surplus equipment such as sedans, pickups, office equipment, and items released for sale from the Police property room. Tri-State Auction Systems does not charge the City a commission for this service. The City has had non-exclusive agreements with Ken Porter Auctions since 1996 to sell surplus specialty vehicles at auction, specifically heavy equipment such as refuse trucks, loaders, street sweepers and fire trucks. Ken Porter Auctions auction site is in the Los Angeles area, and draws buyers from the Western states and Mexico. The competition among these buyers results in high resale profits for the City. Ken Porter Auctions does not charge the City a commission for this service and the equipment is transported to the auction site at no charge. The association with both Tri-State Auction Systems and Ken Porter Auctions has proven beneficial to the City and staff requests new agreements are entered into, for a period of one (1) year, with the option for two (2), one (1) year extensions.

(Ward 4) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of quitclaim deed. BACKGROUND: On March 25, 1986, the City of Bakersfield acquired a temporary sewer line easement from David Burns Finlinson, Harriet Ann Finlinson, and Edith Zoe Finlinson to facilitate the construction of a sewer trunkline at Brimhall Road and Calloway Drive. The temporary easement was to terminate after construction was completed and the Notice of Completion was recorded for the project. However, it appears that the Notice of Completion may not have been recorded even though the project has been completed. To clear the title to the property the current owner has requested the City quitclaim the temporary easement and staff is recommending granting their request.

TO: FROM: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 7, 2005 CITY ATTORNEY CITY MANAGER APPROVED ~ MJ¡¡ A-& Development Services - Planning DEPARTMENT HEAD SUBJECT: Consolidated hearing on appeals by the City of Bakersfield Public Works Department of the Planning Commission's decision to approve extensions of vesting rights for Tract 6087 Phase D, located south of Ming Avenue, east of South Allen Road (developer - Castle & Cooke), and for Tract 6104, Phases 1 and 5, located north of Panama Lane and east of Buena Vista Road (developer - Centex), and adoption of resolution overturning the Planning Commission's decision. (Engineer - Mcintosh and Associates) (Ward 5) RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution overturning the Planning Commission's decision and approving the appeals. BACKGROUND: On June 8, 2005, the City Council adopted the Planning and Development Committee recommendation to adopt a policy not to approve extensions of time for vesting rights beyond the statutory requirement. The Planning Commission took action on this request for extension of time for vesting rights. The following summarizes the Commission's action, and status of the request: Planning Commission Staff Tract # Action Status Recommendation T6104 (1& 5); May 20, 2004, vote to City Public Works appealed to Approve appeal; T6087-D approve extension of City Council. Referred to overturn Planning vesting rights. Planning & Dev. Committee. Commission's decision. On January 12, 2005, the City Council conducted consolidated hearings on appeals by various engineers on a number of tracts. On this same date, the City Council also conducted consolidated hearings on appeals by the City Public Works Department of the Planning Commission's approval of vesting rights extensions on Tract 6104, Phases 1 and 5 and on Tract 6087, Phase D. These matters were referred to the Council's Planning and Development Committee for further review and determination. However, in an effort to resolve the matters for Tract 6087 Phase D, and Tract 6104, Phases 1 & 5, staff is returning these items to the City Council for action. -,.._...--------._-,_._-_.-~_._.._.- ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2 Definition of Vestina Riahts: During the life of a tentative map, the subdivider with a vesting map is protected from changes in ordinances, policies, and standards. The map remains subject to the ordinances, policies and standards, including development fees, in effect at the time the map application was deemed complete (SMA 66498.1 b). The local agency can add conditions to the vesting map only if it determines that failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both in a condition dangerous to their health or safety or both (SMA 66498.1 C). Recordation of the vesting map or a phase of the vesting map triggers a time frame of one year during which the developer of the recorded phase is still protected under vested rights. This one year mav be extended an additional 12 months by the Planning Commission upon a timely request by the subdivider (SMA 66452.6(g), BMC 16.24.090 C.). Under City ordinances, the vesting rights on a recorded map would initially run for one year, and another one year if the extension were approved by the Planning Commission. Extension of Time for Vestina Riahts: As state above, a subdivider has vesting rights for a one year period beginning on the recordation date of a map or phase of a map. A subdivider may apply to extend the vesting rights of a recorded map (or phase) for one additional year (66498.5 (b), BMC 16.24.090 C.3.). The state established the statutory framework to shield subdivisions temporarily from changing regulations and exactions. The request for an extension of time is a completely discretionary action by the City. No special findings are necessary. The City is not obligated to grant extensions of vesting rights on recorded maps. On November 14, 2003, phased traffic impact fees increased from $2,197 to $5,780. The park development fee also increased from $635 to $1,275 per unit. Approval of the vesting rights extensions for the requested phases of Tract 6104 and Tract 6087 will represent a loss of $171,057 to the City. Environmental Determination: In accordance with Section 15061 (b)(3), general rule, extensions of time are exempt from the requirements of CEQA. Conclusion: The City would not collect $171,057 in traffic and park development fees from Phases 1 and 5 of Tract 6104 and Phase D of Tract 6087 if the Planning Commission approvals of extensions of time on vesting rights are not overturned. This results in other City funds, like the General Fund, being used to cover the fees that are not collected. If no other funds area available, the City risks reduced levels of service and conflict with General Plan policies, which specify certain levels of service. Analysis done for the increases in traffic and park fees provides supporting evidence that the higher fee is necessary to provide the level of service consistent with the General Plan policies and design standards. Due to the loss of significant revenue, staff recommends denial of the extensions of time for the vesting rights on this tract.

BACKGROUND: Domestic water user charges and fees are established annually pursuant to Chapter 2.18 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code to fully recover the cost of providing domestic water services. An increase of 7¢ per hundred cubic feet (about 750 gallons) on the quantity rate is proposed to become effective on October 1, 2005. The increase is to pay for cost-of-living adjustments in the operations and maintenance contract, for new water supply programs and additional expenses incurred in replacing capital facilities such as water wells and transmission pipelines. The increase to the typical residential customer will be approximately $1.96 per month, raising the average bill from $25.42 to $27.38 per month. This increase in the City's Domestic Water System charges will still have the City's rates among the lowest in the Bakersfield area. The City of Bakersfield Water Board reviewed and approved the proposed rate adjustment at its May 18, 2005 meeting. This hearing has been duly advertised and posted as required by law. :fc June 3. 2005, 9:13AM ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT MEETING DATE: June 22,2005 AGENDA SECTION: Hearings ITEM: I~.~.
