CONSENT CALENDAR
Resolutions
Item 121. Resolution Authorizina the Finance Director to DisDense with the Formal Biddino Process
to Purchase the Chemical. Bioxide for Odor Control and Reduction of Sulfide Gas Levels for a Period
of Five Years. An odor alleviation study found that Bioxide is effective in controlling odors in the
Buena Vista Trunk Line. Due to the proprietary nature of Bioxide and the continual need to control
odors in the trunk line, staff is recommending dispensing with the bidding process and authorizing the
purchase of the product on a continuing basis in amounts to meet the City's requirements.
Aareements
Item 12n. Reimb~~ement Aoreement with JP/CP Develocment. Inc. to Reimburse Them for Storm
Drain Svstem ImJ_vements North of Brimhall Road. West of Coffee Road. in an amount not to
exceed $260.000. Recently the City constructed a regional drainage basin underneath the PG&E
tower easement north of Brimhall Road near a tract currently under development, just north of and
adjacent to the Westside Parkway. In 1991, the City purchased a portion of this property for the
Westside Parkway. That purchase agreement stipulated that the property that was being developed
could dispose of their drainage water in a basin south of the Parkway.
Staff suggestèd a cooperative arrangement with the developers of the tract whereby both entities
would work together to construct the necessary drainage pipes that would serve both projects. The
Reimbursement Agreement allows the developer to construct drainage facilities for his development
and to over-size the facilities to convey drainage for the Westside Parkway. In addition to the
reimbursement, the City budgeted a capital improvement project on Brimhall Road itself. Since this
project will tie into the new drainage line being, it seems beneficial to combine projects and reimburse
the developer for that work as well.

Item 120. Aoreement with Bob Murrav & Associates for Executive Search for Staff for the New
Freewav Division of the Public Works Deoartment. in an amount not to exceed $32.500 (Thomas
Roads). Staff received bids from three search firms. Based on cost, experience and the fact that Bob
Murray & Associates has conducted successful searches for the City in the past, staff recommends
entering into an agreement with them.
Item 12p. Coooerative Aoreements with State of California Deoartment of Transoortation (Cal Trans)
(Thomas Roads). These cooperative agreements with Cal Trans describe the duties and
responsibilities of the each entity with regards to the preparation of the environmental document, the
project report, and the construction plans for the interchange and widening of SR 178 at Oak Street.
Funds to accomplish this work will be from the Federal Transportation Bill funding recently obtained
by Congressman Thomas for the Bakersfield area, and from Transportation Development Fund.
Item 12q. Federal Transoortation Proiect Staffino (Thomas Roads). The first part of this item is a
request to hire staff for management and oversight of the first four of the Alternative No. 15 projects
(Oak/24th Street interchange, the widening of 24th Street, the Centennial Corridor, the Hageman
Flyover, and the Westside Parkway) as well as for the construction of the North Beltway (7'h Standard
Road), the West Beltway, the SR178 freeway, the widening of Rosedale Highway, the widening of
SR 178 in northeast Bakersfield, and for the route adoption of the South Beltway. The proposed staff
complement, which will augment an existing Civil Engineer IV, includes five Civil Engineer Ill's, one
Secretary I-II, one Account Clerk I-II, and one Real Property Agent II. The majority of the funding for
the positions will be from the Federal Transportation Bill. Additional funding will come from the
Transportation Development Fund (Traffic Impact Fees), which, depending upon the project, is either
11.47% or 20%. Additional positions are anticipated as the program further develops and work loads
become better defined.
Nearly all of the environmental, engineering, and design work for these projects will be completed by
consultants. The City is currently in the process of hiring a "Program Manager" consultant who will
directly manage the consultants preparing the environmental documents, completing the engineering,
and preparing the project designs and construction documents. During the past several weeks,
Parsons Transportation Group has been augmenting City staff through their on-call agreement with
the City. As the work resulting from the Federal Transportation Bill projects was not anticipated when
the on-call agreements were entered into, this separate agreement will provide for a continuation of
these services.
Item 12r. Reimbursement Aoreement with Castle & Cooke. Inc. for Reconstruction of Stockdale
Hiahwav between Allen Road and Kern River Bridae in the amount of $1.100.000. In the 2005/06
fiscal year, the City Council approved a capital project to reconstruct a portion of Stockdale Highway
between Allen Road and the Kern River Bridge. Castle & Cooke, Inc. is currently developing the north
side of Stockdale Highway between Allen Road and Jewetta Avenue, and this project includes
widening the north side of Stockdale Highway. Since the two projects are adjacent to each other,
combining both projects would yield a superior finished product, be less disruptive to the traveling
public and perhaps save taxpayer dollars.
Item 12t. Aoreement with Citv of Bakersfield and Bakersfield Soorts Partners I. LLC for the
Bakersfield Blitz Arena Football. A group of investors, the majority from Bakersfield, have purchased
the Bakersfield Blitz from the Arenafootball 2 League. This agreement is very similar to the 2005 Blitz
Agreement, whereby the monetary amounts remain the same. This agreement is for a one 3-year
term without the option for renewal. Should Bakersfield Sports Partners I, LLC decide to continue their
ownership of the Bakersfield Blitz, a new agreement will be drafted at that time. The agreement is
structured on a no-risk basis for the City of Bakersfield.

Bids
Item 12aa. Award Lease AQreement to Donald Collins. DBA ProQress Farms to ODerate the Citv of
Bakersfield MuniciDal Farm for an Annual Rental Income of $350.000 Per Year. The current Lease
Agreement ends December 31,2005. Previous annual rents have varied because rent was partly
based on a share cropping arrangement. Last year's rent was approximately $305,000. The new
rental structure has been simplified and is based on a flat rate. In the event some acreage of the
Farm is sold, a provision in the Lease Agreement allows for a decrease in the rent in proportion to the
amount of acres that have been sold. Three acceptable proposals were received. Staff recommends
entering into the agreement with Progress Farms.
Miscellaneous
Item 12dd. Community DeveloDment Block Grant (CDBG\ Action Plan Amendment No.7 (FY 03104\
and Amendment No. 1 (FY 05/06\. Economic and Community Development staff is proposing to
reprogram Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from completed or cancelled projects. Staff
is proposing the following amendments to CDBG activities: 1) reprogramming of CDBG program
income ($260,000) to the Baker Street Streetscape Improvement Project (Phase II). This is matching
funds for the recently approved HUD Special Economic Development Initiative (EDI) grant of
$277,760; and 2) extension of the service area for the East and Southeast Crime Prevention Services
to include the area generally bounded by Columbus Street, Union Avenue, Chester, and Golden State
Avenues in Ward 3.
Item 12ee. ADDrODriate $65,000 Additional Park DevelODment Fees to the CaDital ImDrovement
BudQet within the Park DeveloDment Fund for the UDQrade of Benches for the Mid-Level SeatinQ Area
at The Park at River Walk. On October 12, 2005, Council approved an appropriation for
improvements to the amphitheater at The Park at River Walk to increase the seating capacity and
purchase crowd control fencing. These improvements included constructing permanent bleacher
style seating at the mid level of the amphitheater. The proposed bleachers were without back rests.
After approval of the appropriation, staff received a Council referral requesting additional review of
installing benches with back rests.
The seating area amounts to approximately 500 benches. The cost for the bench without a back rest
is $200, which would total $100,777, including tax and shipping. The same bench with a back rest is
$324 ($165,777.00 includes tax and shipping). In addition, benches with a back rest will require
additional costs for modification to the irrigation system to maintain uniform spray patterns for the turf
at each aisle. Benches with several of the same advantages are available at a cheaper price but will
not have the same material and aesthetic qualities as the recommended bench. The additional
appropriation of $65,000 is to upgrade the benches. Park Development Fees in Zone 1 are
exceeding budget expectations, so staff is projecting funds sufficient to cover the additional costs.
Item 12ft. ReQuest from the Fox Theater Foundation for Assistance. The Fox Theater Foundation
has requested assistance from the City in installing a replica of the Fox Theater clock at the southwest
corner of 20th Street and "H" Street. The Foundation has already purchased the clock. The Fox
Foundation has requested that the City contribute both staff time and funds to install this clock.
The project consists of the following work to be performed by City forces: remove existing asphalt and
concrete, purchase and install five light bollards, and install electrical service and water line. In
addition, this project would also consist of having the annual contractor install a concrete pad for the
clock. The cost to the City for this project would be the staff time, $3,750 for the bollards, and $3,000
for the annual contractor to perform the concrete work. The $10,000 estimate for City funds is needed
to cover incidental costs associated with this project.

HEARINGS
Item 148. Protest HearinQ for ProDOsed Assessment District No. 05-1 (Citv in the Hills. In May, 2005,
Council approved a Resolution of Intention to form the Assessment District. Following the close of
this hearing, adoption of the resolutions will approve the Final Engineer's Report, levy the
assessments, order the public improvements, and allow the Finance Director to proceed with the pre-
marketing and pricing the bonds in an amount not to exceed $15,820,000. In order to expedite the
bond sale, the property owners have waived their entitlement to pay any part of the assessments in
cash. The City is not obligated to repay any of the Assessment Bonds issued as a result of the
formation of this District.
Item 14b. HearinQ to Consider Public Testimonv to Consider a ReQuest bv Taxicab Comoanies to
Alter the Current Rate Schedule. The City received a request from several local taxicab companies
to increase rates. The Council may increase, decrease, accept or alter the rates as submitted within
a 60 day period. Pursuant to the Municipal Code, the new rates, as submitted, would take effect
within 60 days of the date of application absent any action by the City Council.
Major reasons stated for the proposed rates include operational cost increases and increases in the
cost of fuel. The last rate increase was approved on November 16, 2000. Since that time, the CPI
for transportation related items, including fuel and other transportation related costs has increased
approximately 20.6%. Staff performed a survey of taxicab rates and is recommending approval of
the proposed increases with the exception of the increase in the mileage charge, which staff
recommends be set at $2.50. This amount would be more consistent with amounts currently being
charged in other communities
The rates proposed by staff would result in an increase from $10.80 to $12.50 (an increase of $1.70)
for a typical four-mile taxicab ride. Staff has prepared a resolution consistent with the staff
recommendation, which may be amended in accordance with Council actions.
REPORTS
Item 158. Reoorts reQardinQ Health Insurance Plan Renewals. This item appeared on the City
Council agenda of October 26th and was postponed to provide for an additional Insurance Committee
and Personnel Committee meetings. There are two primary issues of concern between the employee
bargaining groups and the City. The first is the out-of-pocket maximum of $5,000 per individual,
which the Insurance Committee felt was too high. The second issue is the City's concern that
structural plan design changes should be implemented as incentives for employees to use less
expensive health care options such in-network doctors, outpatient surgeries, and urgent care facilities.
To address these concerns, City staff melded elements of the Personnel Committee Majority Report
and the Insurance Committee offer into a Compromise Proposal. In it staff proposed that the
individual out-of-pocket maximum (stop-loss) in the PPO plans be reduced from $5,000
(recommended in the majority report) to $3,000. The cost of this proposal without additional changes
requested by the Insurance Committee is $66,674 in excess of budget.
The Insurance Committee agreed with the Compromise Proposal along with a family maximum out-of-
pocket in the PPO program. In response, the City offered to increase the offer by $33,326 to pay for
the cost of a family cap, which would result in a total of $100,000 cost over budget. Staff is looking
into a 3 or 4-member family cap and if it could be purchased with $33,326, but it will be several days
for a final rate to be obtained.
Agenda Highlights
November 9, 2005

The Personnel Committee voted unanimously to forward the Compromise Proposal to the City
Council for approval. Members of the Insurance Committee who were in attendance indicated they
would vote in favor of the proposal. The entire Insurance Committee will meet on November 7,2005,
to ratify it.
DEFERRED BUSINESS
Item 16a. Ward ReaDDortionment. Ward maps were provided to the City Council at a previous
workshop. The goal of re-apportionment is to balance wards to within +/- 10 percent of projected
population. More comments will be taken at this meeting. Progress on Council's input on a preferred
option would be highly desirable.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 17a. Resolution Settino Dates for 2006 Citv Council Meetinos. Two options are proposed by the
City Clerk's office in response to input they have received from Councilmembers. Option A has two
meetings in July and one in August. Option B has one meeting in July and two in August.

SUBJECT: An ordinance adopting a negative declaration and amending Section 17.06.020 (Zone Map
No. 104-17) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zoning
from and R-1 (One Family Dwelling) zone to a PUD (Planned Unit Development) zone on
55.83 acres generally located on the north side of State Route 178, approximately Y. mile
east of future Vineland Ave (City in the Hills). (File # 05-0502) (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council held first reading on October 26, 2005.
On August 18, 2005, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended
approval of this zone change to allow a single family residential development generally located
on the north side of State Route 178, approximately Y. mile east of future Vineland Avenue, in
the City in the Hills development. The development consists of private gated streets, 181 lot
single family lots with a a private recreation facility and landscape lots. The net density is 5.64
units per net acre, which is consistent with the Low Density Residential designation of the
project site. The streets are proposed to be constructed to City standard and be publicly
maintained.
The applicant's representative spoke at the Planning Commission meeting. No one spoke in
opposition to the project.
A concurrent tentative tract map (#6452) was approved by the Planning Commission on August
18, 2005 that reflects the plan proposed by this PUD zone change.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a
significant effect on the environment. A negative declaration was prepared in accordance with
CEQA. Mitigation measures included in the conditions of approval that reduce the following
impacts to less than significant: air quality, aesthetic, biological resources, cultural resources,
hazardous materials, stormwater drainage, and water impacts.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that Bioxide, a proprietary chemical for sewer odor control and
reduction of sulfide gas levels, cannot be reasonably obtained through the usual bidding
procedures and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding thereof for a
period of one (1) year, not to exceed budgeted amounts. (Wards 4 & 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Some areas of southwest Bakersfield experience continuing odor problems from the
Buena Vista Trunk Line thus creating a nuisance to residents and businesses. Nuisance odors are a
violation of the San Joaquin Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) policies and can be punishable
by a fine. The City has previously received a warning from the District to alleviate the nuisance odors and
reduce the high levels of sulfide gas found in the sewer system, or face a fine by the District. Carollo
Engineers conducted an odor alleviation study and, Bioxide, a proprietary and therefore sole source
product of U.S. Filters was found to be the only effective agent for controlling odors in the Buena Vista
Trunk Line.
Due to the proprietary nature of Bioxide, and the need to continually inject Bioxide to control odors in the
Buena Vista Sewer Trunk Line, staff is recommending adoption of the Resolution to dispense with bidding
for Bioxide and authorizing the purchase of Bioxide on a continuing basis in amounts to meet the City's
requirements, not to exceed budgeted amounts. If at any time it is determined that other products or more
effective products are available, staff will re-evaluate the sole source designation of Bioxide and will seek
competitive pricing to insure the best interests of the City are met.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1418 to order the vacation of a portion of Pacheco Road
between Old River Road and Progress Road, also Progress Road between Harris Road
and Pacheco Road within Section 20, T.30S., R.27E., M.D.M. (Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Smith Tech USA on behalf of Don Judkins and Lennar Homes of California, Inc. had requested for the
vacation of Pacheco Road between Old River Road and Progress Road, and Progress Road between
Harris Road and Pacheco Road. The said vacation is a requirement by Public Works' Condition No. 12 of
Tract No. 6167 and by Public Works' Condition NO.2 of Tract No. 6363.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Development Services, and Economic Development Departments
have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of the date of this report.
Public Works notes that there is no City sewer or storm drain facilities in the vacating area. General
Services will have to remove 8 signs, 2 R/R markings, and 1 mile of centerline striping.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and none have indicated objection as of
the date of this report.
Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 foot radius of the
proposed vacating area. Public Works has not received any objections from these owners as of the date
of this report.
The proposed vacation was approved by the Planning Department on September 19, 2005 per local
ordinance and was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan pursuant to
Government Code 65402.
It was determined that this action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of CEQA guidelines (general rule), because there is no possibility
that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.
This Resolution sets the Public Hearing date for the regular Council meeting of December 14, 2005, on
the proposed vacation.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1419 to establish Traffic Signal Maintenance District TS-12,
(Panama and Wible Shopping Center) preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving
Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of the property
described in Lot Line Adjustment No. 03-1225 to form a maintenance district for the operation and
maintenance of one (1) traffic signal on Panama Lane between Wible Road and Castleford Street at the
entrance to the proposed Panama and Wible Shopping Center. Staff recommends the formation of
Maintenance District No. TS-12 (Panama and Wible Shopping Center), generally bounded by Panama
Lane on the north, Wible Road on the east, a line approximately 940' west of Wible Road on the west and
a line approximately 660' south of Panama Lane on the south.
On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution 161-94 which provides for the collection of
maintenance and operating costs for future "convenience" traffic signals through maintenance districts.
The proposed traffic signal is considered a convenience traffic signal since it is not required by the Traffic
Authority to regulate traffic flow, but is installed solely for the benefit of the adjacent parcels. This
maintenance district will be a separate district and will not be merged into the Consolidated Maintenance
District.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter and Proposition 218 Ballot from the owner of the property
described above which waives all hearings required by the Brown Act and Chapter 13.04 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code. This allows the City to expedite the formation of the district.
In order to provide future owners with disclosure regarding the proposed maintenance district a covenant
has been drafted and will be supplied to the owner to be recorded with the Certificate of Compliance. An
example copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Bakersfield City School District to receive $40,000 for services pursuant to
the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative ("Connecting Communities Program").
1. Appropriate $40,000 Federal grant revenues to the Police Department budget in the
General Fund for additional overtime costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of this agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield City School District (BCSD) has been awarded federal grant funds pursuant to the Safe
Schools/Healthy Students Initiative ("Connecting Communities Program"). The Connecting Communities
Program enables the BCSD to partner with local law enforcement and mental health agencies to provide
services in an effort to reduce violence and increase school safety among BCSD students. As part of this
program the BCSD has requested the Bakersfield Police Department provide the following additional
services to the ongoing School Resource Officers (SRO) Program:
· Training SROs in the Safe School Ambassadors Program
· Training SROs in Building Effective School Teams Program
· Provide SROs for Initiative related evening and weekend events
· Expand the Junior Police Academy into one BCSD School Campus
The services stated above will result in additional overtime costs, and will therefore necessitate an
appropriation to the Police General Fund Budget. All of the services stated above are in addition to the
SRO Program currently funded in part by a grant from the Federal COPS Office.

SUBJECT: Storm Drain System Improvements North of Brimhall Road and West of Coffee Road
(Ward 4):
1. Reimbursement agreement with JP/CP Development, Inc to reimburse developer for
storm drain system improvements, not to exceed $260,000.
2. Appropriate $260,000 additional traffic impact fees to the Capital Improvement Budget
within the Transportation Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: JP/CP Development, Inc. is currently developing Tentative Tract No. 6295 located
south of Brimhall Road and west of Coffee Road. This development is located just north of and adjacent
to the Westside Parkway. Under the terms of Agreement No. 91-188, the City purchased a portion of this
property for Westside Parkway a number of years ago. That agreement stipulated that the property that
was being developed could dispose of their drainage water in a basin south of the Parkway.
Recently the City constructed a regional drainage basin underneath the PG&E tower easement north of
Brimhall Road, very near Tentative Tract 6295. Based upon the location of this new drainage basin,
coupled with the fact that it can receive a large volume of drainage water, it was determined that this basin
would be ideal to receive drainage from Westside Parkway, as well as, any new development nearby.
Staff approached the developers of Tentative Tract No. 6295 and suggested that we work cooperatively in
constructing the necessary drainage pipes to serve both their development (Tentative Tract No.6295) and
the Westside Parkway. Since their development will be in place prior to construction of the Westside
Parkway it would be advantageous to have them over-size their drainage pipe to also convey drainage for
the Westside Parkway. This Reimbursement Agreement allows the developer to construct drainage
facilities for his development and to over-size the facilities to convey drainage for the Westside Parkway.
In addition to the over-sizing reimbursement the City budgeted a capital improvement project on Brimhall
Road itself. Since this project will tie into the new drainage line being constructed by Tentative Tract
NO.6295, it seems beneficial to combine projects and reimburse the developer for that work as well.
Staff recommends approval of reimbursement agreement and appropriation.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Bob Murray & Associates for Executive Search for Civil Engineer III(s) for
the New Freeway Division of the Public Works Department, Not to Exceed $32,500
(Thoma s Roa ds )
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the contract.
BACKGROUND:
Staff received 3 bids from search firms in response to a letter soliciting bids for the recruitment of Civil
Engineers for the new Freeway Division of the Public Works Department. These firms are Bob
Murray & Associates, EIT Recruiting and Hunter Brown Consulting. The bids were compared on the
most salient points.
Bob Murray and Associates is located in Sacramento, CA and charges a $25,000 consulting fee plus
expenses not to exceed $7,500. They have six professional staff members. Bob Murray has 20
years of experience focusing on local government searches for municipalities and special districts.
Numerous searches have been done for engineering professionals including City Engineers, Public
Works Directors, Senior Engineers, etc. for the California cities of Fremont, Mountain View,
Pasadena, Stockton, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Fresno, and Morro Bay and for San Luis Obispo County.
In 2005, Bob Murray conducted the successful search for the Director of Recreation and Parks for the
City of Bakersfield. Normally, they do not provide a guarantee after an applicant is hired for positions
that do not report to a councilor a board; however, they will continue to look until the positions are
initially filled. Caveat - expenses may exceed $7,500 if initial recruitment does not yield adequate
applicants and further advertising must be conducted.
John Bostic of Phoenix-based EIT Recruiting has the second least expensive fee. EIT is a one-
person search firm that charges 15% of each candidate's first year annual salary for three or more
positions. This equates to a range of $10,168 - $12,361 per employee based on the step hired within
the current salary schedule. For three employees, that would total $30,504 - $37,083. His fee
increases to 20% for orders of two or less positions filled. EIT gives a 60-day replacement guarantee;
however, this is a one-person, out-of-state firm with no public sector experience provided.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Hunter Brown Consulting is a six year old recruitment firm with offices in Bangor, CA and Bowling
Green, Kentucky. Their staff includes four professionals. Hunter Brown charges 20% of each
candidate's first year annual salary. This equates to a range of $13,557 - $16,481 per employee hired
based on the step hired within the current salary range. For three employees, this would total
$40,671 - $49,443. A non-refundable retainer of $5,000 is required to start the process. No client
information was provided and it appears that their work is private-sector as they focus on the
architectural, engineering, environmental consulting and construction industries.
Based on the information above, I recommend going with Bob Murray & Associates.

SUBJECT: Federal Transportation Project Staffing (Thomas Roads):
1. Approval of Eight various staff positions for Federal Transportation Projects.
2. Transfer $400,000 of appropriations from the capital improvement budget to the operating
budget within the Federal Transportation Fund to cover salaries, benefits and other
operational costs associated with staffing of this team.
3. Consultant Agreement with Parsons Transportation Group to provide On-Call Engineering
Services to the City of Bakersfield, not to exceed $100,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of positions and agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Public Works Department created a new division in FY 2002-03 to manage and
deliver the Alternative No. 15 Bakersfield Systems Study projects, along with a management level gosition
(Civil Engineer IV) to oversee this division. These Alternative No. 15 projects included the Oak/24 Street
interchange, the widening of 24th Street, the Centennial Corridor, the Hageman Flyover, and the Westside
Parkway. Due to the efforts of Congressman Thomas, the approval of the SAFETEA-LU Federal
Transportation Bill this past August resulted in the metropolitan Bakersfield area receiving $630 million of
federal funding over the next 4-5 years for the construction of the first four of these Alternative No. 15
projects as well as for the construction of the North Beltway (7th Standard Road), the West Beltway, the
SR178 freeway, the widening of Rosedale Highway, the widening of SR178 in northeast Bakersfield, and
for the route adoption of the South Beltway.
This program of projects is a massive undertaking even just anticipating conventional timelines. But it is
both the Congressman's and the City's desire to construct these projects as quickly as possible, using
creative and innovative processes and compressing the work into a much shorter window than historically
has occurred. Nearly all of the environmental, engineering, and design work for this program of projects
will be completed by consultants. And the City is currently in the process of hiring a "Program Manager"
consultant who will directly manage the consultants preparing the environmental documents, completing
the engineering, and preparing the project designs and construction documents. However, City staff will
be overseeing the program manager consultant as well as be heavily involved with the other consultants,
will be the contact point for the community, will oversee the financial aspects of the program, and will
provide the local knowledge and direction necessary for the successful delivery of the program.

G:\GROUPDA T\ADMINRPT\2005\ 11-Q9\Parsons Admin Draft.DOC
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
To accomplish this management and oversight, an initial staff is being proposed consisting of the existing
Civil Engineer IV position identified above plus the following new positions:
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT:
Five (5) Civil Engineer Ill's - A Civil Engineer III is in the Supervisory Group. It is the initial City
classification that requires a professional engineer's license, and it is the appropriate classification
for the degree of responsibility and experience required to manage these individual projects.
These Civil Engineer Ill's will be Project Managers, will be the pOint of contact for the community
for information pertaining to the project, and will report to the Civil Engineer IV identified above.
They will be assigned a project, and it will be their full-time job and only duty to oversee and
manage the delivery of that project. The annual cost for one Civil Engineer III is about $100,000.
One (1) Secretary I-II will provide administrative support to the Division as well as assist with
accounting and financial work as required. The annual cost for one Secretary is about $50,000.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT:
One (1) Account Clerk 1-11 will assist with the financial duties of billing, record keeping and budget
reconciliations, and will also provide as a backup to the Secretary during vacations/sick leave. The
annual cost for one accounting Clerk I-II position is about $45,000.
One (1) Real Property Agent II who will work with the Civil Engineer 111 Project Managers and the
consultants regarding the properties potentially impacted from these projects. The annual cost for
one Real Property Agent II is about $85,000.
The majority of the funding for all of these positions will be from the Federal Transportation Bill project
funding identified above. All of these projects also have a non-federal match that, depending upon the
project, is either 11.47% or 20%. This non-federal match will come from the Transportation Development
Fund (Traffic Impact Fees).
This is the initial personnel staff believes are required to undertake this program. Additional positions are
anticipated as the program further develops and work loads become better defined. For instance,
additional property agents and accounting staff will be required as the program progresses into the
property acquisition phase, and additional engineering staff will be necessary as the projects continue into
construction.
It will take several months to hire these additional staff; the amount requested to be transferred ($400,000)
reflects estimated costs for the remainder of this fiscal year. During the past several weeks, Parsons
Transportation Group has been augmenting City staff through their on-call agreement with the City. As
the work resulting from the Federal Transportation Bill projects was not anticipated when the on-call
agreements were entered into, this new agreement will provide for a continuation of these services
through an agreement separate from the current on-call agreement.

Reimbursement Agreement with Castle & Cooke, Inc. ($1,100,000) for reconstruction of
Stockdale Highway between Allen Road and the Kern River Bridge (Ward 4).
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
DATE:
October 27, 2005
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of reimbursement agreement.
BACKGROUND: Castle & Cooke, Inc. is currently developing the north side of Stockdale Highway
between Allen Road and Jewetta Avenue. As part of their development requirements, the north side of
Stockdale Highway will have to be widened.
In the 2005106 fiscal year, the City Council approved a capital project to reconstruct a portion of Stockdale
Highway between Allen Road and the Kern River Bridge due to very poor pavement conditions of this
roadway. Since the City's project is adjacent to Castle & Cooke's development, combining both projects
would yield a superior finished product, be less disruptive to the traveling public and perhaps save
taxpayer dollars.
Staff has reviewed the unit costs associated with the City's share of road work and has found it to be
consistent with costs we are currently experiencing.
Staff recommends approval of the reimbursement agreement.

BACKGROUND:
The Fire Department Prevention Services Division needs to complete their Laser fiche document imaging
project. They are more than half-way completed, but have about 70 more file drawers to complete. The
Prevention Services Division administers the State's "Community Right to Know" Program for hazardous
materials and as such must maintain all hazardous materials information related to each parcel. This laser
fiche project makes accessing this information much easier for both staff and the public.
The proposed funding source to complete this project is the Fire Trust- Hazmat Penalty Account. Funds in
this account are the result of administrative penalties paid to the City.

Bakersfield Blitz Arena Football
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
Staff recommends approval of agreement.
A group of investors, the majority from Bakersfield, have purchased the Bakersfield Blitz from the
Arenafootball 2 League. The ownership group Bakersfield Sports Partners I, LLC, includes Paul Press
who was an assistant coach with the Blitz last season. Paul Press will serve as general manager of the
team this year. Jeff Allen a venture capitalist of Los Angeles is president of the partnership.

Attached is an agreement between Bakersfield Sports Partners, LLC and SMG acting herein on behalf of
the City of Bakersfield. Bakersfield Sports Partners, LLC is operated by Blitz Head Coach Paul Press and
Jeff Allen. This agreement is very similar to the 2005 Blitz Agreement, the monetary amounts remain the
same.
This agreement is for a one (3) year term without the option for renewal. Should Bakersfield Sports
Partners I, LLC decide to continue their ownership of the Bakersfield Blitz a new agreement will be drafted
at that time. The agreement is structured at a no risk basis for the City of Bakersfield. The Bakersfield
Blitz 2006 season opener is tentatively scheduled for April 7, 2006 at Rabobank Arena.

Girard for outside legal counsel for the Millcreek South - Redevelopment Project, not to
exceed $50,000. (Wards 1 & 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
On June 8, 2005, Council authorized the submission of a Section 108 Loan Guarantee application in the
amount of $3.75 million dollars and a Brownfield Economic Development Initiative Grant (BEDI) in the
amount of $750,000 to provide funds for various economic development and housing activities planned
near "Q" Street and the Kern Island Canal. Mill Creek South - Phase 1 economic development mixed use
project consists of development of an affordable housing rental project, 31,000 square feet of new
restaurant and commercial space and the development of the south area of Mill Creek as an urban stream
and green pedestrian parkway.
This project will be the first phase of a larger redevelopment project under exclusive negotiation with
Lennar Corporation which will include another 30,000-50,000 square feet of commercial and restaurant
space and the creation of a new urban style residential neighborhood consisting of 700-1000 homes and
units that will provide affordable and market rate housing opportunities including both rental and ownership
types. Due to the complex nature of this proposed development, it is necessary to retain a law firm with
significant expertise in the area of redevelopment. The law firm of Kronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & Girard
specializes in redevelopment law and maintains the high level of expertise required for the Mill Creek
South redevelopment project. This law firm is handling property acquisition matters currently under
condemnation proceedings.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: The project known as Resurfacing Various Streets 2004/2005 was awarded to Granite
Construction at the May 11, 2005 Council meeting. The awarded contract amount was $1,622,862.90.
During the course of construction, it was discovered that several areas of the streets being repaved need
more extensive work than previously expected. This work includes filling of voids under the street and
removal and replacement of existing substrate. This work is necessary in order to provide a solid
subsurface which will maximize the life of the newly paved roadways. These areas of this additional work
are outlined in the attached change order. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum of $13,922.63
for performing this additional work.
This is the first contract change order to be submitted for the project. This change order will increase the

($73,058.85 increase; for a revised not to exceed compensation amount of $2,006,164.36),
for the Stockdale Highway Sewer Improvement Project (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Orders.
BACKGROUND: Construction of the Stockdale Highway Sewer Improvement Project was awarded to
Griffith Company at the October 6,2004 Council meeting. The awarded contract amount was $1,919,732.
These are the third and fourth contract change orders to be submitted for the project.
During the course of construction, several utilities and other facilities were encountered that were either
not shown on the project plans or were shown incorrectly on the project plans. These utilities and facilities
included a sewer force main, an abandoned well casing, buried steel plates used in the construction of a
previous sewer project, and abandoned oil lines. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum of
$43,017.39 to remove, relocate, or protect these facilities in place as needed.
During the start of construction, it was discovered that the traffic control plan designed by the Consultant
for this project was insufficient for the safety of the traveling public and for access to businesses along
Stockdale Highway. The modification needed to make this traffic plan safe and functional included
removal and replacement of an existing median island, and installation of sand filled crash cushions at
various locations. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum price of $23,546.33 for these
modifications.
The handicap ramp at the southwest corner of Stockdale Highway and Allen Road was discovered to be in
a broken and deficient condition that was a hazard to pedestrians. The contractor has agreed to accept a
lump sum of $1,219.18 to remove and replace this handicap ramp to current ADA standards.
The west end of the sewer project needs to be extended an additional 120 lineal feet to the west. This
extension is for a planned development to be constructed in the near future; however, by constructing this
portion now, the residents and traveling public will not have to endure a second major construction project
in the intersection of Stockdale Highway and Renfro Road. The contractor has agreed to install this sewer
extension for the lump sum price of $12,751.93.
During the course of construction, it was discovered that an 8" sewer line did not have to be abandoned as
shown on the project plans. The contractor has agreed to credit the City in the amount of $3,000 for the
deletion of this work from the contract.

G:\GROUPDA T\ADMINRPT\2005\11..Q9\Stockdale Sewer Project - ceo 3 & 4.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
In order to construct this project per plan, several contract items had to either be increased or decreased.
The net result of the increases and decreases is a credit in the amount of $56,306.01. The actual
increases and decreases of these items are detailed in the attached Change Order.
During construction, it was discovered that a water main line is in conflict with the sewer line being
constructed. This water line was installed before Stockdale Highway was widened. This water line needs
to be relocated to eliminate the conflict with the new sewer line as well as placing the water line in its
ultimate location on the widened street. This water line is owned by the City. The contractor has agreed
to relocate the water line and replace all water services off of this line for the lump sum price of
$51,830.03.
These change orders will increase the project total by $73,058.85. The change orders to date on this
project reflect a net increase of $86,432.36 (which is an increase of 4.5% of the original contract amount)

for the Park at River Walk, Building Improvement Contract (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: Construction of the Park at River Walk, Building Improvement Contract was awarded
to SC Anderson, Inc., at the November 17, 2004 Council meeting. The awarded contract amount was
$2,795,000.
During the course of construction, it was discovered that a significant amount of additional frame
construction was needed to complete an area of the amphitheater. The contractor has agreed to do this
additional framing for the lump sum price of $10,850.81.
Due to several changes on the project and a delay in the production of structural steel, the project time will
need to be extended an additional 14 days. The Contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum of
$2,743.14 for the expenses incurred because of this delay. The new contract completion date for the
building portion of the park is October 25, 2005.
This is the fourth contract change order to be submitted for the project. This change order will increase
the Building Improvement project total by $13,593.95. The change orders to date on this project reflect a

for the Park at River Walk, Site Improvement Contract (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: Construction of the Park at River Walk, Site Improvement Contract was awarded to
SC Anderson, Inc., at the November 17, 2004 Council meeting. The awarded contract amount was
$5,646,000. This is the fifth contract change order to be submitted for the project.
During the course of construction, it was discovered that the Drake Elm trees specified for the project were
not on the approved tree list provided by the Kern River Parkway Foundation (KRPF). After consultation
with KRPF, the Oregon Ash tree was chosen as a suitable substitute for the Drake Elm. The contractor
has agreed to accept a lump sum price of $5,154.30 for the additional expense incurred to provide the
Oregon Ash tree.
Several shrubs specified for the park were discovered not suitable for the Bakersfield climate. After some

SUBJECT: Accept bid from Computer Configuration Services, Irvine, in the amount of $138,620.63 for
the purchase of an IBM Server and related software and equipment.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid.
BACKGROUND: The IBM mainframe computer that runs the major City of Bakersfield financial
applications such as Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and General Ledger is five years
old and is scheduled for replacement in the 2005/2006 Fiscal Year. Invitations to Bid were sent to eight
(8) vendors authorized by IBM to provide servers and related services of the type and configuration
required by the City. Two bids were received in response to the solicitation and are as follows:
BIDDER/LOCATION
BID AMOUNT
$121,192.50
$138,620.63
Mainline Information Systems, Irvine, CA
Computer Configuration Services (CCS), Irvine, CA
Subsequent to the opening of bids, Mainline Information Systems became aware of a significant mistake
in their pricing and requested to change their pricing or withdraw their bid. Since this was a formal bid,
corrections or modifications received after the opening of bids are not allowed and as such, one
acceptable bid remained that of CCS in the amount of $138,620.63.
Staff recommends award of the bid to Computer Configuration Services, Irvine in the amount of
$138,620.63.

SUBJECT: Accept rent proposal to award Lease Agreement to Donald Collins DBA Progress Farms for
the operation of the City of Bakersfield Municipal Farm for an annual rental income of
$350,000.00 per year (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of rent proposal and award of contract.
BACKGROUND: The 5,400 acre City of Bakersfield Municipal Farm is operated and maintained for the
purpose of growing crops that use reclaimed wastewater from Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 and
biosolids from both Wastewater Plants 2 and 3. The current Municipal Farm Lease Agreement No. 95-310
(1) ends December 31, 2005. Previous annual rents have varied because rent was partly based on a
share cropping arrangement. Last years rent was approxim"ately $305,000. The new rental structure has
been simplified and is based on a flat rate.
Some of the Lessees responsibilities include agronomic use of reclaimed wastewater and biosolids,
proper dust, weed and pest control, maintenance of roads and fences, and controlling access to premises.
In the event some acreage of the Farm is sold, a provision in the Lease Agreement allows for a decrease
in the rent in proportion to the amount of acres that have been sold.
On August 12, 2005, three acceptable proposals were received as follows:
Donald Collins
DBA Progress Farms
9711 Holland Street Suite 102

SUBJECT: Appropriate $103,574 developer share project costs to the Capital Improvement Budget
within the Gas Tax Fund for completion of various landscaped medians (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND: In the course of normal development activity, tracts that develop adjacent to major
roadways are required to construct the landscaped median or, if impractical, pay an in-lieu fee for
construction of the landscaped median at a later date.
The following four (4) landscaped median segments are in a position to be completed:
1. Hageman Road - Verdugo to Calloway
2. Hageman Road - Friant Kern Canal to Riverlakes Blvd
3. Brimhall Road - Between Westdale and Jenkins
4. Brimhall Road - Between Old Farm and Jewetta
This Administrative Report appropriates funds for the completion of the above referenced landscaped
medians. Since the median segments are relatively small, City Recreation and Parks Department staff will
perform the necessary work.

and Amendment NO.1 (FY 05/06). (Wards 1, 2 & 3)
1) Transfer $260,000 project savings to the Baker Street Streetscape Improvement Project
within the Capital Improvement budget of the CDBG fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Economic and Community Development staff is proposing to reprogram Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) from completed or cancelled projects. In compliance with HUD regulations, any significant
change or addition to the approved CDBG or HOME annual plan must undergo an amendment process
which includes obtaining citizen views and comments on the proposed change for a period of 30 days. A
notice was published on October 8, 2005 requesting comments and to date no comments have been
received.
Staff is proposing the following amendments to CDBG activities:
1) reprogramming of CDBG project savings/program income in the amount of ($260,000) for Phase II
of the Baker Street Streets cape Improvement Project. The project includes trees, historic lights,
irrigation, and Railroad track improvements between Jackson Street and Truxtun Avenue. The
initial phase of this project was funded through a Special EDI Grant awarded in 2003 in the amount
of $490,000. Funding for phase II was approved through the budget process during FY 2003-04
allocating additional CDBG funds in the amount of $251,000. In addition, a second HUD Special
EDI grant was awarded to the City in the amount of $277,760 for the project. The additional funds
requested are required as a match to the grant and to fully allocate funding for the project.
2) extension of the service area for the East and southeast crime Prevention Services to include the
area generally bounded by Columbus Street, Union Avenue, Chester, and Golden State avenues
in Ward 3 (CT6). No budgetary changes were made to this project.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $65,000 additional park development fees (zone 1) to the Capital Improvement
Budget within the Park Development Fund for The Park at River Walk to upgrade benches
with back rests for the mid level seating area (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND: On October 12, 2005, City Council approved appropriation of $400,000 for
improvements to the amphitheater at The Park at River Walk to increase the seating capacity and
purchase crowd control fencing. These improvements included constructing permanent bleacher style
seating at the mid level of the amphitheater. The bleachers proposed at the October 12, 2005 meeting for
the mid level seating were benches without back rests. After approval of the appropriation, staff received
a Council referral requesting additional review of installing benches with back rests. The following are
results from staffs review:
During review of providing additional seating at the amphitheater, staff from Recreation and Parks and
Design Engineering reviewed several types of benches to be placed at the mid level seating area to
increase the seating capacity. To provide the maximum amount of additional seating for this area, staff
selected to use plastisol coated metal benches without backs. Staff selected a hunter green :y." wire mesh
(Rolled Style) bench without backs for the following reasons:
1. Wire mesh limits graffiti and vandalism;
2. Wire mesh allows water from sprinkler system to drain through seat, no ponding;
3. Rolled wire mesh limits attraction to skateboarders;
4. Hunter green will match the color of the amphitheater, handrails and lighting fixtures and the wire
mesh is consistent with the architectural features of the amphitheater; and
5. The width of each row is 2.5 feet, the opening between benches (isle width) is 1 foot 8 inches
without back rest, the opening between benches with a back rest is 1 foot 1 inch.
The following are advantages of providing benches with backs:
1. A more "upscale" appearance to the venue would be achieved;
2. Seating would be more comfortable; and
3. Discourage cutting between isles.

G:\GROUPDA1ì.A.DMINRPT\2005\11-Q9\The park at River Walk benches.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The cost for the recommended bench without a back rest is $200.00 for a 6 foot long bench. The seating
area requires approximately 3000 linear feet of benches; this amounts to approximately 500 benches
($100,777.00 includes tax and shipping). The same bench with a back rest is $324.00 for a 6 foot bench
($165,777.00 includes tax and shipping). In addition, benches with a back request will require additional
costs for modification to the irrigation system to maintain uniform spray patterns for the turf at each isle.
Benches with several of the same advantages are available at a cheaper price but will not have the same
material and aesthetic qualities as the recommended bench.
The additional appropriation of $65,000 is to upgrade the benches without back rests to benches with back
rests. Park Development Fees in Zone 1 are exceeding budget expectations and we are projecting
additional funds sufficient to cover the additional costs proposed for the park.

SUBJECT: Hearing to consider public testimony to consider a request by taxicab companies to alter
the current rate schedule.
1. Resolution Establishing Taxicab Service Charges
RECOMMENDATION: Receive public comment and adopt resolution setting rates.
BACKGROUND:
The City received a request from several local taxicab companies operating within the City to increase
taxicab rates. The Municipal Code requires taxicab companies desiring to increase rates to submit their
proposed rates to the City and that a public hearing be conducted within 60 days. The Council may
increase. decrease. accept or alter the rates as submitted by taxicab companies within a 60 day period.
Pursuant to the Municipal Code. the new rates as submitted by the taxicab companies would take effect
within 60 days of the date of application absent any action by the City Council.
The City Manager has received a written request from the companies which provides their justification
regarding the need for the increases. Major reasons stated for the proposed rates include operational cost
increases and increases in the cost of fuel. Staff has noticed the public hearing with the following proposed
rate schedule requested by the companies:
Current Reouested Increase
Initial Drop Rate $2.00 $2.50 +$ .50
Mileage (Per mile traveled thereafter) $2.20 $2.60 +$ .60
Waiting Time (Per hour) $15.00 $24.00 +$ 9.00
(There is also a charge of $1.50 for more than 3 packages, which were not requested to be increased, and
therefore is not a subject of this hearing)
The last rate increase was approved on November 16, 2000. Since that time the CPI for all items has
increased approximately 14.5%. During the same period the CPI for transportation related items including
fuel and other transportation related costs has increased approximately 20.6%. Staff has completed a
survey of taxicab rates which is attached and is recommending approval of the increases proposed by the
taxi companies with the exception of the increase in the mileage charge which staff recommends be set at
$2.50. This amount would be more consistent with amounts currently being charged in other communities
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
where taxicab rates are regulated and would provide a reasonable increase to address increases in fuel
and other operating costs to the taxicab companies. The rates proposed by staff would result in an
increase from $10.80 to $12.50 (an increase of $1.70) for a typical four mile taxicab ride. Staff has prepared
a resolution consistent with the staff recommendation, which may be amended in accordance with Council
actions regarding this matter. Staff recommends that the Council receive public comment and adopt the
resolution setting rates.

SUBJECT: Personnel Committee Report on Health Insurance Plan Changes and Medicare Part D
RECOMMENDATION: The Personnel Committee recommends approve report and implement
recommendations within the report.
BACKGROUND:
Health Insurance Plan Chanaes
This item appeared on the City Council agenda of October 26th and was postponed to provide for an
additional Insurance Committee and Personnel Committee meetings.
After discussion at the City Council meeting on October 26, 2005, staff understood that there were two
primary issues of concern between the employee bargaining groups and the City. The first is the out-
of-pocket maximum of $5,000 per individual, which was recommended by the Personnel Committee.
The employee bargaining groups felt that maximum was too high and could have potential to have a
devastating financial impact on a family if more than one family member were to sustain serious injury
or illness in year. The second issue is the City's concern that structural plan design changes should be
implemented as incentives for employees to use less expensive health care options such in-network
doctors, outpatient surgeries, and urgent care facilities.
To address these concerns, City staff melded elements of the Personnel Committee Majority Report
and the Insurance Committee offer into a Compromise Proposal. In it staff proposed that the individual
out-of-pocket maximum (stop-loss) in the PPO plans be reduced from $5,000 (recommended in the
majority report) to $3,000. The reduction addresses the employees' concernS about financial impacts
on large family. Staff also proposed to improve the PPO plan by reducing the in-network maximum to
$1,000 per individual, which is lower than the current level of $1 ,600. The cost of this proposal without
additional changes requested by the Insurance Committee is $66,674 in excess of budget.

Cost of Plan Changes
Compared to City Budget (47,658) (408,309) (66,674)
Per City Council direction, the Insurance Committee met again on November 1,2005, to discuss health
plan changes. The above Compromise Proposal was offered. After considerable discussion and many
questions regarding a number of different plan options, the Insurance Committee stated they would
agree to the Compromise Proposal with one caveat. They asked for consideration of a family
maximum out-of-pocket in the PPO program.
Both HMO plans have family maximum limits, but the Blue Cross PPO has only an individual maximum.
The employee groups argued that larger families could be exposed to devastating out-of-pocket costs if
in-network doctors were not available. With a 3-member family maximum in place, a family would be
covered 100% after their out-of-pocket maximum of $9,000 was met. This assumes that all three
members experienced serious emergency or injury within one year and were treated out-of-network. In
response, the City offered to increase the offer by $33,326 to pay for the cost of a family cap, which
would result in a total of $100,000 cost over budget. The City would absorb the additional cost.
Buck Consultants confirmed that the family cap is a common feature in today's health care market.
Blue Cross is researching the cost of a 3 or 4-member family cap and if it could be purchased with
$33,326, but it will be several days for a final rate to be obtained.
The Personnel Committee met on November 3, 2005, during which the employee group
representatives in attendance agreed to accept the City's proposal as follows:
1) Plan changes outlined in the Compromise Proposal, which are incentives to use in-network
providers and to make less expensive health care choices.
e
ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORT
2) Add family cap to the out of pocket maximum in the PPO, including a 3 or 4-member family cap in
an amount not to exceed the $100,000 figure offered;
3) Explore a relationship with the Heart Hospital, which is out of the Blue Cross PPO network, to
provide emergency services to the City of Bakersfield at the "in-network" rate.
The Personnel Committee voted unanimously to forward the above proposal to the City Council for
approval. Members of the Insurance Committee who were in attendance indicated they would vote in
favor of the proposal. The entire Insurance Committee will meet on November 7, 2005, to ratify it.
MEDICARE PART D AND RELATED CHANGES:
In addition to the above mentioned changes, additional modifications to the health plans need to be
made due to Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, which was added to Medicare by the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). This coverage will
become available on January 1. 2006. MMA gives employers who provide retiree health coverage
several options for offering prescription drug coverage to their Medicare-eligible retirees, including-
· Continuing their current plans and applying for the 28% Federal subsidy for qualifying enrollees'
allowable prescription drug costs
· Providing coverage that "wraps around" the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit
· Contracting with a national or regional prescription drug plan (PDP).
The Personnel Committee has studied the various options, considered recommendations from the
Insurance Committee (a meet and confer committee) and from Buck Consultants, the City's health care
consultants and are recommending the following actions:
· Because both Kaiser Senior Advantage and Blue Cross Senior Secure intend to be a Medicare
Advantage PDP, take advantage of this option which will be financially advantageous for both
retirees in those programs and the City for these two plans.
· Blue Cross PPO and HMO intend to offer a wraparound benefit plan, which will require a separate
policy for the retirees. Currently the Blue Cross HMO plan blends the rates for actives and retirees.
This change will require an un blending of the rates. This would be in concert in regard to retiree
medical coverage and GASB 43/45 reporting requirements. It is recommended for the plan year
2006, the City elect the option to seek the subscription drug subsidy from the Federal Government
and take advantage of the wrap around coverage. This option can be changed in the future.
· As the un blending of the rates will cause a substantial premium increase for retirees, it is
recommended to develop a phase in plan to separate the rates for the active and retirees. The
exact amount of the HMO retiree "subsidy" will be determined after the rates for the 2006 plan year
are received. It is anticipated that the increase in rates will be phased in, 20% per year for five
years. However, any "subsidy" will decrease incrementally and will completely cease after 5 years.
· It is recommended that an actuarial study be done to determine the City's unfunded liability under
GASB 43/45 reporting requirements for medical benefits.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council discuss and give direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
Ward re-apportionment needs to be completed prior to May 1, 2006. Ward maps were provided to the
City Council at a previous workshop. The maps identified ward populations and current boundaries
based on a City population estimate of 304,889. Examples of possibilities were provided to the
Council to initiate the process. The goal of re-apportionment is to balance wards to within +/- 10
percent of projected population. Projected population accounts for growth based on existing
population plus approved tentative maps. Precinct data has been added to the ward boundaries
providing data for considering re-apportionment options. This item may be added to future Council
meetings and updated as needed to facilitate the re-apportionment process.
