CONTINUATION OF REGULAR MEETING - 6:30 D.m.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Ordinances
Item 12c. First Readina of Ordinances reaardina Amendments to Various Ordinances. Staff is bringing
forward "clean-up" items to Chapters 1, 2, and 8 of the Municipal Code. These include augmentation of the
Code with regard to our City Seal, and the deletion of language in the Personnel, Compensation, and Ice
Cream Vendor statutes to clarify the intent of the provisions and/or eliminate antiquated language.
Proposed revisions to Chapters 15, 16, and 17 will be on the public hearing section of the next Council
meeting.
Item 12d. First Readina of an Ordinance Amendina the MuniciDal Code related to Biddina and Contract
Procedures. The Municipal Code establishes a formal bid limit and the threshold above which contracts
must be approved by Council, both of which are currently $25,000. Recent events, such as the increase in
pricing for fuel and other oil-related products caused staff to re-evaluate this threshold. A survey of other
cities indicated that these limits range from $10,000 to $100,000. On November 7,2005, the Budget and
Finance Committee met and recommended increasing the threshold to $75,000. Staff will continue to solicit
competitive pricing on the open market for items valued at $75,000 or less, but, as a practical matter, only
bids and contracts greater than $75,000 would come before Council for approval.
Resolutions
Item 121. Resolutions Authorizina the Finance Director to DisDense with the Formal Biddina Process to
Purchase Mobile Data ComDuters and Radio EauiDment. and Award of a Contract to GTSI Corcoration for
Mobile Data ComDuters. LaDtODS and Related Eauioment. Staff is recommending the purchase of three
different pieces of equipment which are related to the Police mobile data computer system. The first two
items are resolutions requesting that computer displays and radio equipment be purchased with sole source
contracts. The last item for purchase of Panasonic mobile data laptop computers was advertised and bid
through a traditional bid purchasing process.
The display terminal/keyboard units used with the MDCs are manufactured and sold only by Data911
Corporation. Staff has determined an additional 55 units are needed to replace units that have been
damaged or need to be replaced. Additionally, the Police Department is purchasing 34 additional MDCs for
new patrol cars, which will require the purchase of an additional 34 Data911 display terminal/keyboard units
for a total of 89 display terminallkeyboard units. The funds for this purchase (an amount not to exceed
$184,000) have already been appropriated in the equipment maintenance budget for this fiscal year.
A vital component to this system is the mobile data radio modem from Motorola. The existing system uses
the Motorola RD-LAP/National Crime Information Center approved encryption system. The new radio
modems must be compatible with existing radio infrastructure. The Public Works Communications Division
has negotiated a 17% discount with Motorola for 37 high quality RD-LAP encrypted mobile data modems.
Agenda Highlights
November 30, 2005
Page 2
These modems will be funded entirely by Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funding (S.L.E.S.F.)
monies (an amount not to exceed $105,800) already included in the Police Department budget.
Invitations to bid were sent to approximately 100 vendors for providing Panasonic brand mobile data
computers and related equipment, such as docking stations, to be used by the Police and Building
Departments, as well as laptop computers to be used by various City departments. There are 224 MDC
laptops that need replacing, which are approximately four years old. Additionally, 47 new MDCs will be
purchased for Police vehicles not currently equipped with MDCs and 6 new MDCs will be purchased for use
by Code Enforcement officers. Two bids were received, although one was only a partial bid. MWave.com
did not bid on the mobile data computers, and their pricing for the laptops and related equipment was
greater that GTSI Corporation. Staff finds the low bid ($1,289,674) to be acceptable and recommends
award of the bid to GTSI Corporation in Chantilly, Virginia. Bundling all of the Panasonic brand purchases
together provides savings overall because it puts us in Panasonic's volume discount pricing program.
Item 12g. Resolution Authorizina the Finance Director to DisDense with the Formal Biddina Process to
Purchase the Maaic ComDrehensive Call Analvsis and ReDortina Svstem from SBC. Inc. in an amount not
to exceed $44.000. The telephone technology and digital logging system used in the Police
Communications Center was obtained through and is maintained by SBC, Inc. The "Magic System" is the
only comprehensive call analysis and reporting system supported by SBC, Inc. and is compatible with the
current dispatch system. The "Magic" system will enable the Department to create management reports
relative to call volume and duration of all incoming and outgoing calls, and improve the ability to efficiently
assign the number of dispatchers necessary to handle the volume of calls during peak times. Funds for this
purchase will be provided from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant from the U.S.
Department of Justice.
Item 12n. ADDlication for a Grant from the California Intearated Waste Manaaement Board ICIWMB) for
ReDlacement of Broken Concrete Sidewalks with Rubber Sidewalks Made from Recvcled Tires. Through
the California Tire Recycling Act of 1989 (AB 1843), the CIWMB allocates funds annually for promoting the
use of recycled tires in new products. This grant provides the City an opportunity to try a new product which
replaces old broken sidewalks with rubber sidewalk squares made from recycled tires. Such products are
fairly expensive and have not yet established a history of use and durability.
If awarded, the $91,330 grant will fund most of the purchase of materials for 10,398 feet of sidewalk
replacement. The City must cover the costs of old sidewalk removal and new sidewalk installation along
with a small portion of the cost of the new sidewalk material. The total project cost estimate is $140,000,
resulting in a cost to the City of $38,670, which would be funded from the Street Maintenance Fund.
Comparatively, with the grant the cost will be $3.72 per square foot, as opposed to the typical cost of $3.09
per square foot. In order to evaluate the potential for longer lasting sidewalks, staff recommends this
project as a pilot program.
In order to apply for the grant, the City is required to adopt a policy toward purchasing products with
recycled material content, when feasible. This is a requirement of the CIWMB in an effort to increase the
use of recycled content in many different types of products. The proposed purchasing policy requires all
departments to give preference to products with recycled content when feasible, with respect to cost and
serviceability.
Item 120. Partial Advanced Refundina of 1997 Arena Certificates of ParticiDation to Generate One- Time
Savinas of ADDroximatelv $1.200.000 to be Used for CaDitallmDrovements for the Rabobank Convention
Center and Arena ComDlex. In 1997, the City and Redevelopment Agency jointly entered into agreements
in order to facilitate the issuance of $40,650,000 Certificates of Participation. Current municipal bond
market conditions indicate that significant savings could be recognized by the "partial advanced refunding"
of a large portion of those Certificates. Only $24,605,000 of the outstanding principal balance of
$33,465,000 can be refunded because some were used to refund prior debt. This transaction would
generate net savings to the City of approximately $1,400,000.
Agenda Highlights
November 30, 2005
Page 3
Staff is proposing to use the savings for capital improvements to the Rabobank Arena and Convention
Center, which are listed in the administrative report. This is accomplished by paying interest only on the
new debt in 2006, thus recognizing the majority of savings in the first 18 months. Debt services payments
would level out in 2008 and there would be very minor savings recognized from 2008 - 2022. The overall
term of the bonds is not being extended and the overall annual debt services payments of approximately
$3,156,000 per year are not increasing. Due to the structuring of the transaction, about $330,000 more in
principal debt would be issued than will be refunded. However, the end result is still a net savings of about
$1,400,000.
Aareements
Item 12w. Health Care Aareements. The renewal of the City's Health Care plans was approved by
Council at the November 9, 2005 meeting. This item includes the approval of the contracts with each
Health Care provider for 2006 implementing the Council's previous action. An appropriation of $100,000 is
needed to cover the unbudgeted and unexpected premium increases. Staff recommends that this funding
be provided from a one-time payment of Vehicle License Fees due to the City. The health plan changes
become effective January 1, 2006.
Item 12x. Aareement with Les Roaer's Construction to Install Plavaround Eauicment at Quailwood Park
and Camcus Park North in the amount not to exceed $45.000. The playground equipment for these
locations has already been purchased. This item is to approve the agreement for installation of the
equipment. Four informal bids were received. Staff recommends award to Les Roger's Construction.
Bids
Item 12dd. Award Annual Contract to Jim Alfter Cement Contractor for HUD-Funded Concrete
Construction in an amount not to exceed $800.000. Of the 40 invitations to bid, only 1 contractor submitted
a bid. Staff finds the bid to be acceptable and recommends award to Jim Alfter Cement Contractor.
Miscellaneous
Item 12;;. Accrocriate $50.000 Fund Balance for Wavside Park Wet Plav Area and $10.000 Fund Balance
for Jefferson Park Wet Plav Area. within the Cacitallmcrovement Budaet in the Park Imcrovement Fund. for
Modifications to the Existina Automated Water Qualitv Svstems. The current au10mated water quality
systems at these two parks have proven to be problematic, requiring significant staff hours for operating and
resulting in intermittent closures to the public for repairs. The other three spray parks, located at Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., Planz and Beale, have water run-off systems that have proven to be more economical and
still maintain high water quality. Staff recommends converting the spray parks at both Wayside and
Jefferson to the run-off system. The higher cost for Wayside Park is due to the fact that it requires more
changes due to a sewer line installation.
HEARINGS
ffem 14a. Public Hearino to Consider Resolution Denvina an Acceal of the Board of Zonina Adiustment's
Revocation of a Conditional Use Permit Concernina the Sales and Installation of Automobile Stereos and
Other Automotive Electronic Accessories in a C-1 (Neiohborhood Commercia ) Zone Located at 2520
Brundaae Lane. Numerous complaints have been received due to excessive noise problems and other
peace disturbances from Car Audio Pros, resulting in significant staff time to resolve the problems. One
call resulted in a citation being issued and a fine levied on a charge of amplified sound from vehicles. At
the public hearing, the Board received five letters requesting that the permit be revoked and two people
testified in support of the revocation. Between the time the administrative report was prepared and the
Board's hearing, two more complaints were received by the Police Department. The Board concluded
that the owner, Mr. Paul Nesheiwat, has not been willing to address the noise problems. Mr. Nesheiwat
Agenda Highlights
November 30, 2005

states that the noise is generated from passing cars. Staff is in agreement with the Board's finding and
recommends denial of the appeal and upholding the decision to revoke the CUP.
REPORTS
Item 158. BudQet and Finance Committee Reoort reQardinQ ReQuest for Release (Closure) of the
Bakersfield Municioal Airoort. Potential closure of the Bakersfield Municipal Airport was referred by the City
Council to the Budget and Finance Committee. The Committee has met and received input from tenants of
the airport. A community meeting was also held by Councilmember Carson where both airport tenants and
community members were allowed to voice their concerns and desires for the area. Staff reviewed the
history of the airport with the Committee and prepared a "General Information" document which is attached
to the administrative report. The Committee requested that staff go through the process with the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for closure of the airport, which includes the submittal of a Request for
Release document that is required by the FAA, and will be sent to the FAA for their formal response.
If the FAA approves the Request for Release and closure of the airport, a request for proposals will be
completed to determine developer interest in the area. Two development groups have already shown an
interest in the property. Proceeds from the sale of the airport will likely be used to pay all or a portion of
$12,650,909 in federal grant funds received by the City. The Property Manager estimates the property to be
worth between $15,000,000 and $18,000,000 less the cost of relocation and remediation. A formal appraisal
will be included in the documents to be sent to the FAA.
Item15b. EmerQencv Preoaredness. Fire Chief, Ron Fraze will give a brief report on the City's Emergency
Preparedness Plan.
DEFERRED BUSINESS
Item 168. Ward Reaooortionment. In response to Council's request, staff ran Ward boundary scenarios
which attempted to incorporate boundaries using a variation of more than 10 % of optimum as a short-term
solution, coupled with longer-terms solutions, such as going to an eighth ward and/or seeing if "contiguity"
was mandated by State Law. The question of contiguity is under review by the City Attorney.
These meetings resulted in two new concept scenarios, which are numbers 21 and 22. However,
redistricting would again be necessary before the 2008 election. Staff also prepared a draft scenario of a
possible eighth ward configuration. While this would not resolve things for the 2006 election, it is a potential
long-term solution. However, this option would require a Charter election and the legal issues have not
been fully researched.

1. City Seal
2. Council Meetings
3. Personnel Policies
4. Employer-Employee Relations
5. Compensation
6. Ice Cream Vendors
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends First Reading of all proposed ordinance revisions.
BACKGROUND:
From time to time, City Staff identifies sections within our Bakersfield Municipal Code that should
be revised to clarify language, remove ambiguity, reflect what is actually being done, and/or to correct
typographical errors. Rather than propose each ordinance revision when discovered, the City Attorney
keeps track of the suggested changes and then gathers them together for presentation to the City Council
as part of a general "clean-up".
Staff is proposing two batches of ordinance revisions. All of the proposed revisions to Chapters
15, 16, and 17 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code will be on the public hearing section of the next City
Council meeting (December 14, 2005). This will give time for us to publish the appropriate notices.
Tonight, Staff is bringing forward the clean-up items to Chapters 1, 2, and 8 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code. These include augmentation of the Code with regard to our City Seal, and the deletion of
language in the Personnel, Compensation, and Ice Cream vendor statutes to clarify the intent of such
provisions and/or to eliminate antiquated language.

SUBJECT: An Ordinance amending Sections 3.20.060, 3.20.090, 3.20.100 and 3.20.105 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to bidding and contract procedures.
RECOMMENDATION: Budget and Finance Committee recommends first reading of the Ordinance
BACKGROUND: Sections 3.20.060,3,20.090,3.20.100 and 3.20.105 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code
establish a formal bid limit and the threshold above which contracts must be approved by the City Council,
both of which are currently $25,000. Previous amendments to Sections 3.20.060, 3.20.090, 3.20.100 and
3.20.105 were adopted by the City Council in March 1997, upon which the bid limit and contract threshold
were increased from $20,000 to $25,000.
Recent events such as the increase in pricing for fuel, plastics and other oil-related products caused staff
to re-evaluate this dollar threshold. A survey of other cities relative to bid limits was conducted by staff
and the survey indicates that bid limits for these cities range from $10,000 to $100,000. Staff
recommends amending the Municipal Code to increase the formal bid limit and contract threshold to
$75,000. Staff will continue to solicit competitive pricing on the open market for items valued at $75,000 or
less but, as a practical matter, only bids and contracts greater than $75,000 would come before the City
Council for approval. It is anticipated that this change will streamline the procurement process and allow
staff to respond in a timelier manner to City Council and departmental requests, while still maintaining
adequate internal controls to ensure that public funds are spent wisely.
At its meeting of November 7, 2005, the Budget and Finance Committee reviewed the staff
recommendation to amend Sections 3.20.060, 3.20.090, 3.20.100 and 3.20.105 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code to increase the formal bid limit and contract threshold to $75,000. After discussion, the
Budget and Finance Committee felt the recommendation to increase the formal bid limit and contract
threshold to $75,000, thus amending Sections 3.20.060, 3.20.090, 3.20.100 and 3.20.105 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code, to be justified.
The Budget and Finance Committee recommends for Council approval the amendment of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code Sections 3.20.060, 3.20.090, 3.20.100 and 3.20.105 to increase the formal bid and
contract threshold to $75,000.

SUBJECT: Resolution Adopting the Investment Policy of the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
This resolution places the City in conformance with Section 53646 of the California Government Code that
requires staff to annually render to the legislative body a statement of investment policy which the
legislative body shall consider at a public meeting. There have been no changes to the California
Government Code since the last investment policy and therefore there are no changes to the current
policy.
The City's investment policy received certification through the Investment Policy Certification Program of
the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada (PTA US&C) in 2001. Minor
changes were made to the investment policy in 2003 to comply with changes in the California Government
Code. According to the PTA US&C those minor changes did not require re-certification of the City's
investment policy.

1. Resolution determining that Police Mobile Data computer displays cannot be obtained through
usual bidding procedures due to the need to integrate into existing systems and authorizing
Finance Director to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $184,000.
2. Resolution determining that Police Mobile Data radio modem equipment cannot be obtained
through usual bidding procedures due to the need to integrate into the existing system radio
infrastructure and authorizing the finance director to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed
$105,800.00.
3. Accept bid from GTSI Corporation in the amount of $1,289,674 for mobile data computers, laptops
and related equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolutions and acceptance of the bid.
BACKGROUND:
Com outer Disolavs
On March 20, 2002, Council authorized the purchase of 200 Mobile Data Computers (MDCs) for use in
police cars. These MDC systems have proven very effective for field officers to obtain a much wider range
of information and in the preparation of reports for the department's paperless reporting system. Staff
feels that the Data911 displays have a proven track record and will not require any additional training for
officers or installers.
The display terminal/keyboard units used with the MDCs are manufactured and sold only by Data911
Corporation. These units were purchased with an expected three-year lifespan. City staff has determined
an additional 55 units are needed to replace units that have been damaged or need to be replaced.
Additionally, the Police Department is purchasing 34 additional MDCs for new patrol cars, which will
require the purchase of a total of 89 display terminal/keyboard units. The funds for this purchase have
already been appropriated in the equipment maintenance budget for this fiscal year.

Radio Modems
The Police Department will be equipping 37 existing vehicles with Mobile Data Computers. A vital
component to this system is the mobile data radio modem from Motorola.
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 37 high
quality RD-LAP encrypted mobile data modems. The purchase of these modems will be funded entirely
by Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funding (S.L.E.S.F.) monies already included in the Police
Department budget.
Laotoo Comouters
Invitations to bid were sent to approximately 100 vendors for Panasonic brand mobile data computers and
related equipment such as docking stations to be used by the Police and Building Departments, as well as
laptop computers to be used by various City departments. There are 224 MDC laptops that need
replacing, which are approximately four years old. Additionally, 47 new MDCs will be purchased for Police
vehicles not currently equipped with MDCs and 6 new MDCs will be purchased for use by Code
Enforcement officers. Bundling all of the Panasonic brand purchases together provides savings overall
because it puts us in Panasonic's volume discount pricing program.
Two bids, one of which was a partial bid, were received, as follows:
Bidder
Amount
GTSI Corporation
Chantilly, Virginia
$1,289,674.09
MWave.com
Walnut, California
$ 91,442.42 (selected items only)
MWave.com did not bid on the mobile data computers, and their pricing for the laptops and related
equipment was greater that GTSI Corporation. Staff finds the low bid to be acceptable and recommends
award of the bid to GTSI Corporation in Chantilly, Virginia.
Staff is recommending the purchase of three different pieces of equipment which are related to the Police
mobile data computer system. The first two items are resolutions requesting that computer displays and
radio equipment be purchased with sole source contracts. The last item for purchase of Panasonic mobile
data laptop computers was advertised and bid through a traditional bid purchasing process.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that the "Magic comprehensive call analysis and reporting
system" from SBC, Inc. cannot be obtained through usual bidding procedures due to the need to integrate
into the existing telephone technology / digital logging system in the Police Communications Center; and
authorizing the finance director to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $44,000.00.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On March 30, 2005 the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the Bakersfield Police Department to
apply for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, which
"can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies,
contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice for.. ...Iaw enforcement programs." In
anticipation of receiving this grant, monies were appropriated in the FY2005-06 Police Operating Budget.
The Police Department was awarded the grant on September 12, 2005.
The Police Department would like to use part of the funds from this grant to purchase the "Magic
comprehensive call analysis and reporting system" from SBC, Inc. This system will integrate with the
current telephone and digital logging system in the Police Communications Center supported by SBC, Inc.
It will enable the Police Department to create management reports relative to call volume and duration of
all incoming and outgoing calls. This technology will also improve our ability to efficiently assign the
number of dispatchers necessary to handle the volume of calls during peak times.
The telephone technology and digital logging system used in the Police Communications Center was
obtained through and is maintained by SSC, Inc. The "Magic System" is the only comprehensive call
analysis and reporting system supported by SBC, Inc. and compatible with our current system.

Shopping Center) confirming the assessments, approving Public Works Director's Report
and authorizing collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector. (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On November 9, 2005 the Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1419 to establish
Traffic Signal Maintenance District No. TS-12 (Panama and Wible Shopping Center) for the operation and
maintenance of one (1) traffic signal on Panama Lane between Wible Road and Castleford Street at the
entrance to the Panama and Wible Shopping Center. Staff recommends the formation of Traffic Signal
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 parcels
within the propose district which waives the public hearing concerning formation of the maintenance
district. 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 Parcel Map. An example copy
of this covenant is attached for reference.

Resolution approving development plan review for construction of a 62,840 square foot
commercial office complex on 7.49 acres zoned C-O/P.C.D. (Professional and
Administrative Office - Planned Commercial Development)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution approving the P.C.D. development plan for 9700 Brimhall Road.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission approved the P.C.D. development plans on October 20, 2005. The City
Council approved the C-O/P.C.D. zoning for the site on May 25, 2005.
The proposed project is a 62,840 square foot commercial office complex. The project site is an infill
project and is located on a corner at a commercial intersection (all four corners have commercial zoning).
The site plan depicts a sump located in the northwest corner of the project area, and 12 separate buildings
ranging in size from 4,285 square feet to 9,105 square feet. Most buildings are 5,485 square feet. The
proposed building uses breakdown as follows:
General Office
Medical Office
Total
45,500 square feet
17,340 SqUare feet
62,840 Square Feet
The development plan depicts 338 on-site parking spaces. The required parking for the project is 337
spaces, so the proposal provides 1 (one) additional parking space over the minimum ordinance
requirement. Recordation of a common access and vehicle parking easement will be required.
The architectural elevations depict single-story buildings with a stucco finish, brick veneers, and crown
molding. Mechanical equipment will be hidden on the roofs behind decorative parapets.

minimum landscape strips with evergreen trees spaced at 20 feet on center (24 inch box minimum) along
the entire north and west boundaries of the project. Also, trees along the northeastern boundaries and
along the rear of adjacent properties shaH be spaced no greater than 10 feet apart.
At the Planning Commission hearing interest focused on restricting nighttime parking lot sweeping
between 10pm and 7am, not providing employee "break areas" along the north and northeastern site
boundaries, and requiring trees to be spaced no greater than 10 feet apart along the northeastern edge of
the project. The applicant has agreed to these additional conditions.
The Negative Declaration of the project was approved with the original general plan amendment/zone
change approved in May 2005. Staff recommends approval of the project.

SUBJECT: Application for a grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB)
for replacement of broken concrete sidewalks with rubber sidewalks made from recycled
tires:
1. Resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to apply for and administer the grant.
2. Resolution adopting a purchasing policy giving preference to products with recycled
material content when feasible.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolutions.
BACKGROUND: The California Tire Recycling Act of 1989 (AB 1843) authorized the creation of the
Tire Recycling Program and the California Tire Recycling Management Fund. Grant funding originates
from a fee, currently $1.75 per tire, which is assessed on the sale of new tires, and collected revenue
which is deposited quarterly into the tire fund. The CIWMB allocates funds annually for promoting the use
of recycled tires in new products.
This grant provides the City an opportunity to try a new product which replaces old broken sidewalks with
rubber sidewalk squares made from recycled tires. Such products are fairly expensive and have not yet
established a history of use and durability. If awarded, the $91,330 grant will fund most of the purchase of
materials for 10,398 feet of sidewalk replacement. However, the City must cover the costs of old sidewalk
removal and new sidewalk installation along with a small portion of the cost of the new sidewalk material.
The total project cost estimate is $140,000, resulting in a cost to the City of $38,670. The actual cost for
the recycled rubber sidewalk including installation is approximately $13.46 per square foot. With the grant,
the cost to the City will be $3.72 per square foot in the Street Maintenance Fund. As a comþarison the
typical cost of concrete sidewalk replacement is $3.09 per square foot. However, in order to help foster the
use of recycled tires, and to evaluate the potential for longer lasting sidewalks, staff recommends this
project as a pilot program to test the use of this recycled material.
In order to apply for the grant, the City is required to adopt a policy toward purchasing products with
recycled material content when feasible. This is a requirement of the CIWMB in an effort to increase the
use of recycled content in many different types of products, from printing paper and ink cartridges to
building materials. The proposed purchasing policy requires all departments to give preference to products
with recycled content when feasible, with respect to cost and serviceability.

SUBJECT: Partial Advanced Refunding of 1997 Arena Certificates of Participation to generate one time
savings of approximately $1,400,000 to be used for capital improvements for the Rabobank
Convention Center and Arena complex.
1. Agreement with Orrick, Herringtion & Sutcliffe LLP for bond counsel services.
2. Agreement with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP for disclosure counsel services.
3. Resolution approving the execution, sale and delivery of not to exceed $26.0 million of
the 2005 Refunding Certificates of Participation to provide for the partial refunding of the
1997 Certificates; approval of the form and substance of Bond Purchase Contract,
Preliminary Official Statement, Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, Amended and
Restated Lease Agreement, Refunding Escrow Agreement, and authorizing and
directing additional actions necessary to implement the proposed refunding program.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the above referenced agreements and resolutions,
authorizing the partial advanced refunding program.
BACKGROUND: In 1997 the City of Bakersfield and the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency entered into
a joint lease agreement, trust agreement and other contractual arrangements in order to facilitate the
issuance of $40,650.000 Certificates of Participation. Approximately $34 million was used for the
construction of the Arena facility. The remaining funds were used to refinance existing debt of the City
and the Agency. Current debt service on the 1997 Certificates is approximately $3,156,000 per year, with
final maturity scheduled for April 2022.
Current municipal bond market conditions indicate that significant savings could be recognized by the
"partial advanced refunding" of a large portion of the 1997 Certificates. Since some of the 1997
Certificates were used to refund prior debt, the City cannot refinance all of the remaining 1997 Certificates:
we can only refinance the remainder of the "new money' portion of the 1997 Certificates. The current
principal balance outstanding is equal to $33,465,000. We are proposing to refund $24,605,000 of the
remaining principal balance. This transaction would generate net savings to the City of approximately
$1,400,000.

November 16, 2005
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
We are proposing that this savings be structured as "up front" savings to be used for capital improvements
to the Rabobank Arena and Convention Center complex. This is accomplished by paying interest only on
the new debt in 2006, thus recognizing the majority of savings in the first 18 months. Debt services
payments would level out at about $3,150,000 in 2008 and there would be very minor savings recognized
from 2008 through 2022. The overall term of the bonds is not being extended and the overall annual debt
service payments are not increasing. Due to the structuring of the bond refunding transaction we would
be issuing about $330,000 more in principal debt than is being refunded ($24,935,000 in new debt vs.
$24,605,000 in debt being refunded). However, the end result is still as described above, which is a net
savings of about $1,400,000; with most of the savings recognized in the first two years.
The capital improvements being considered at this time include the following; improvements to the sound
system at the convention center, recovering the seats in the convention center, video display
enhancements to the club room and luxury suites at the arena, an LED advertising banner that would
potentially increase advertising revenues and enhance fan experience, and possibly other capital items
that would enhance renewals of the luxury suites or sustain the marketability of the facilities.
Additional documents are attached that further describe the financial effects of the refunding transaction.

SUBJECT: Reimbursement Agreement with Lenox Homes ($563,912.28) for reconstruction of South
"H" Street between Hosking Road and the Arvin-Edison canal. (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of reimbursement agreement.
BACKGROUND: Lenox Homes is currently developing the east side of South "H" Street between
Berkshire Road and Hosking Road. As part of their development requirements, the east side of South "H"
Street will have to be widened.
In the 2005/06 fiscal year, the City Council approved a capital project to reconstruct a portion of South "H"
Street between Hosking Road and the Arvin-Edison canal due to very poor pavement conditions of this
roadway. Since the City's project is adjacent to Lenox Home'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.
Sufficient funds are budgeted to cover this reimbursement agreement.

Open Enrollment will be held November 28th through December 1st. The Open Enrollment packets to the
employees and the retirees were mailed on November 16th and 17th. The retiree's packets were mailed
registered return receipt in order that we might contact any retiree who appears not to have received a
packet. We want to ensure that the retirees are aware of not only open enrollment but the plan changes as
well.
The City will need to appropriate $100,000 to cover these unbudgeted and unexpected premium increases.
The City received notice from the State of California that a one time '1rue up" payment of Vehicle License
Fees is due to the City related to a difference between State estimates used verses actual results of the most
recent fiscal year. We are proposing that this additional cost be funded by this unexpected one time source

SUBJECT: Agreement with Les Roger's Construction for an amount not to exceed $45,000 for the cost
to install playground equipment at Quailwood Park and Campus Park North (Wards 2 & 5).
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
Staff received written quotes from four (4) vendors for the installation of playground equipment at
Quailwood Park and Campus Park North:
Les Roger's Construction
Sheffield Construction
Premium Construction
Keith Heisler Landscaping
Quailwood
$19,332
$19,870
$21,250
$29,500
Campus Park North
$21,375
$23,920
$28,892
$33,500
In order to expedite the process and due to a heavy winter workload for City staff, quotes were obtained
from contractors to handle the installations. An agreement with the contractor will enable the playgrounds
to be installed sooner with limited disruption to the public. Les Roger's Construction was the lowest bidder
for both projects.
On June 22, 2005, the City Council approved the playground equipment as part of the FY 05-06 Capital
Improvement Program. The playground equipment has been purchased and received; the cost of the
installations is budgeted in the Park Improvement Fund. Quailwood Park will have a 2 to 5 year old and 5
to 12 year old composite play structure and swings. Campus Park North will have a 2 to 5 year old and 5
to 12 year old composite play structure, swings, and a climbing wall.
The installations should be completed by February 2006.

SUBJECT: Agreement with the County of Kern regarding Jail Booking Fees for $634,797.00.
FROM:
William R. Rector, Chief of Police
DATE:
November 18, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Booking fees paid by the City to the County have been established by state law. Counties may choose to
enter into agreements for a fixed amount to be paid for booking prisoners. The City has had such
agreements with the County in the past. This has been preferable to a "per booking" charge as costs are
more predictable, can be planned for in the budget, and tends to eliminate any disincentives to booking
prisoners due to cost considerations. The City just concluded a one year agreement with the County for
booking fees which ended on June 30, 2005.
On May 31, 2005 the Kern County Board of Supervisors adopted County Ordinance No. G-7239, which
increased booking fees from $128.64 to $147.49 per booking. As part of the State FY2005-06 budget
deliberations, SB 1102 provided that booking fees imposed by a county "shall not exceed one-half of the
actual administrative costs." The amount of the one year agreement is for a flat fee of $634,797.00. This
amount equals half of the estimated administrative costs, based on previous year's bookings, for FY2005-
06. The amount required for this agreement has been included in the FY2005-06 budget.
The proposed agreement provides that the City may terminate the agreement with a 30-day notice and
allows for payment adjustments should state law change regarding booking fees. The agreement also
provides for reimbursement to the City of booking costs that are ordered by the court to be recovered from
convicted arrestees. Staff from the Police Department and the City Manager's office have reviewed the
proposed agreement and recommend approval.

BACKGROUND:
Central Parking System, Inc. (Central Parking) has been the parking operator at the 18th and Eye Street
Parking Structure since January 1, 1997. The current agreement with Central Parking was renewed
January 2001 and is set to expire December 31,2005.

professional service in every facet of parking operations. The contract is for a one year period. During
this one year period, staff will be soliciting requests to achieve an automated system for controlling the
gates at the garage. Central Parking has agreed to operate, manage and promote the garage while staff
investigates the feasibility of automation. Central Parking is also willing to work with the City as staff
explores the possibility of automating the garage.
Overall, staff has been satisfied with the professional service provided by Central Parking. The important
business terms of the proposed agreement include the following:
1) One year contract expiring on January 1, 2007, renewable annually by written amendment.
2) All fees remain the same.
3) All levels of service remain the same.
4) The necessary city insurance requirements have been provided by Central Parking.
No other substantive changes are included it the agreement as compared with the current agreement.

Amendment/ Zone Change No. 05-1063.
B Appropriate $25,910.00 developer's contribution to the Development Services operating
budget, within Development Services fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendment to the agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The SKY 19 is a 600± acre project which will be located south of State Highway 178, east of Morning
Drive, in Section 19, Township 29 South, Range 29 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (MDBM). The
project will consist of a Planned Unit Development of up to 1,600 single family residential homes.
This is a very complex land use project which necessitated considerable unforeseeable environmental
work. During the processing of this Environmental Impact Report, there were environmental issues that
were presented that were not included in the original contract. These environmental issues caused
increases in consultant time and materials. The developer is being required to provide an additional
$33,683.00 to offset costs for the preparation of the EIR. The amount of $25,910.00 is to be paid to the
EIR consultant, Michael Brandman & Associates, and $7,773.00 is the estimated amount to cover City
costs.
The original contract (Agreement No. 05-257) with Michael Brandman & Associates (MBA), was executed
on July 6, 2005. This contract was for $184,715.00, to prepare the EIR. With this amendment the total
amount for the contractor to prepare the EIR is $210,625.00.
The contract (Agreement No. 05-256) with S & J Alfalfa, Inc., 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 S & J Alfalfa, Inc.

The project is to drill and pump test two domestic water wells, Stations CBK-45 and L-212, for the
Domestic Water Division of Water Resources Department. This Extra work is required due to changes
from the original design specs recommended by consulting Hydro Geologist Ken Schmidt, in order to
achieve the desired water quality from a protected aquifer. The revised design will require deepening of
the wells, a reduction in blank casing quantities, an increase in perforated casings depth and an increase
in cement seal quantities. The final well design and construction will ensure the produced water meets
water quality standards

SUBJECT: Accept bid from Hewlett Packard Company in the amount of $74,850.53 for LaserJet
printers and related software and support,
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to approximately one hundred (100) vendors for providing
Laser Jet printers and related software and support to be used by various City departments. The new
equipment is multi-function, combining printing and digital sending capabilities, and will replace existing
printers and digital senders which are approximately five years old.
Twenty (20) bids were received in response to solicitation and the results are attached.
In evaluation of the bids, a one percent (1%) local preference, based on the amount of local sales tax that
will be received by the City of Bakersfield as a result of purchasing from a local vendor, is extended to
those businesses located within the City of Bakersfield city limits. The lowest responsible bidder is
determined after the amount of local sales or use tax that would be received by the City is deducted from
the bids received from local vendors.
Staff finds the low bid submitted by Hewlett Packard Company, Colorado Springs, CO, in the amount of
$74,850.53 to be acceptable and recommends award of the bid to Hewlett Packard Company.

SUBJECT: Extend bid from Municipal Maintenance Company, Sacramento, for one (1) 50,000 pound
parallelogram platform hoist for the Wood Waste Recycling Facility in the amount of
$70,656.49. (\Nard 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends extension of bid.
BACKGROUND: At the Council meeting of October 8, 2003, Municipal Maintenance Company,
Sacramento, was awarded the bid for nine (9) heavy-duty lifts of various sizes for the City's Corporation
Yard. The Invitation to Bid included a provision whereby the City has the option of purchasing additional
equipment for a period of seven (7) years from the date of award. To account for inflation in the ensuing
period between award and the purchase of the additional equipment, pricing for the equipment may be
adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index for the region of the manufacturer of the equipment.
The original bid price for the 50,000 pound hoist was $74,739.50, including all trade work such as
electrical, concrete and plumbing. The increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Italy, the country of
origin of the manufacturer of the specified equipment, was 4.3% over the period July 2003 through August
2005. The final price to the City for the purchase of the new hoist will be $70,656.49 alter deducting trade
work to be performed by others and accounting for escalation and State Sales Tax.
The equipment is budgeted in the FY 2005-2006 budget.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $50,000 fund balance for Wayside Park Wet Play Area and Appropriate
$10,000 fund balance for Jefferson Park Wet Play Area within the Capital Improvement
Budget in the Park Improvement Fund for modifications to the existing automated water
quality systems (Wards 1 & 2).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past year, the city has constructed five (5) wet playgrounds. The first two completed are located
at Wayside and Jefferson Parks. An automated water quality system utilizing motors, pumps, filters, surge
pits, and controllers were utilized to sustain water quality. This system has proven to be problematic in its
function requiring significant man hours for operating and resulting in intermittent closures to the public for
repairs. The other three sprayparks located at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Planz, and Beale, have water
run-off systems that have proved to be more economical and still maintain high water quality.
Modifications are estimated to save the city approximately $28,000 annually in operating costs for both
wet playgrounds.
The Recreation and Parks Department will make modifications to both sprayparks converting them to run-
off systems. Wayside spraypark requires more changes due to a sewer line installation.
These modifications will occur during the fall/winter months, with the least disruption to the public. Both
will be ready to open in the spring.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider Resolution denying an appeal by Mr. Paul Nesheiwat owner
of Car Audio Pros, of the Board of Zoning Adjustment's revocation of a conditional use
permit (File No. 02-0064) concerning the sales and installation of automobile stereos
and other automotive electronic accessories in a C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) zone
located at 2520 Brundage Lane. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution upholding the decision of the Board of Zoning
Adjustment.
BACKGROUND:
The site is currently developed with a 7,273 square foot building that contains two separate
businesses; an automotive repair shop and an automotive stereo/electronics sales and installation
store. These businesses operate under a conditional use permit that was approved by the Board
on March 12, 2002.
Staff brought this item back before the Board for a compliance review because of complaints from
the neighbors regarding excessive noise (music) from the stereo sales and installation business.
Over the last year, the Bakersfield Police Department has received 31 calls for service concerning
loud music and other peace disturbances from the stereo business. One of those calls resulted in
a citation being issued and the operator being fined $155 by Kern County Superior Court for
pleading no contest (guilty) to a charge of amplified sound from vehicles.
Neighborhood complaints began nearly two years ago and significant staff resources have been
spent by Code Enforcement and the Police Department to resolve the noise problem. Additionally,
Planning staff contacted the property owner by phone and then followed up with a letter since the
business owner and property owner, though related, are different individuals and it was necessary
to inform the property owner of consequences of further permit violations.

S:\BZA_SPR'\CUP\2OO2'{}2~4 - 2520 Brundage f9vocaoon\Administratwe Report.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
page 2
At the public hearing, the Board received five letters from neighbors requesting the permit be
revoked because of the noise. Two people testified before the Board in support of the revocation.
Mr. Nesheiwat, the business owner, responded that the music was not coming from his business
but from cars traveling on Brundage Lane. Captain Tim Taylor from the Police Department
provided the Board a summary of his department's responses and dealings with the noise
complaints over the past year. A copy of the verbatim transcript of the entire hearing is included
with this report.
The Board concluded that it was clear that the business operators have not been willing to address
the noise problems created by the stereo business. Neither police visits nor court imposed fines
have solved the problem as adequate opportunity and time had been given, but the owners have
refused to put forth any good faith effort to work with their neighbors. Because the number,
volume and frequency of the noise complaints were adversely impacting the quality of life for the
residents, the Board revoked the portion of the conditional use permit pertaining to the stereo
business. The auto repair business, being under separate ownership with no complaints against it,
was permitted to remain subject to additional conditions to deal with general property maintenance
issues.
Between the time this report was prepared and the Board's hearing, the Police Department has
received two additional complaints against the stereo business. The first occurred the day after
the Board's meeting as associates of the business owner harassed one of the residents who
spoke at the hearing by parking nearby and driving by that owner's residence playing their stereos
loudly resulting in a verbal warning by the Police Sergeant assigned to the area. One additional
noise complaint was registered with the Police Department approximately two weeks ago.
Given that the business operator shows no signs of resolving the noise issue or attempting to be a
good business neighbor, even after the Board's decision to revoke his rights, staff recommends
that the Board's decision be upheld. The business owner would have 30 days from the City
Council's decision date to remove the business and this type of use would no longer be allowed to
operate on the site.

SUBJECT: Budget and Finance Committee Report regarding request for release (closure) of the
Bakersfield Municipal Airport (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Budget and Finance Committee recommends authorization to submit to the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) the Request for Release to close the
Airport.
BACKGROUND: Potential closure of the Bakersfield Municipal Airport was referred by the full City
Council to the Budget and Finance Committee. The committee met to discuss the issue several times and
received input from tenants of the airport. A community meeting was also held by Councilmember Carson
where both airport tenants and community members were allowed to voice their concerns and desires for
the area. Staff reviewed the history of the airport with the committee and prepared a "General Information"
document which is attached.
The committee requested that staff go through the process with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
for closure of the airport. The FAA requires submittal of a Request for Release document prior to any
formal action being taken on airport closure. The Budget and Finance Committee unanimously approved
the Request for Release document which is attached. The committee further recommended the City
Council approve sending the Request for Release document to the FAA for their formal response. There
are four areas of justification for closure:
· USE - The airport is used on a minimal basis and the existing based aircraft could easily be
relocated to several surrounding airports.
· SAFETY - The airport poses a safety risk to traffic into Meadows Field, specifically with
commercial flights. With the opening of the new terminal building at Meadows Field activity is
increasing, which increases the potential for aircraft conflicts.
· DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY - The southeast area within the City has been in a spiraling
decline for the past 25 years. This area contains some of the most blighted and economically-
depressed locations in Bakersfield. The airport hinders development even in areas not on airport
property. Closure and redevelopment of the airport would not only improve the airport property,
but serve as a catalyst for development improvements on other land in the immediate area.
· FINANCIAL CONDITIONS - After operating the airport for 20 years the cumulative totals show
that expenditures exceed revenue by $27,392.
November 21. 2005, 8:36AM
G:IGROUPDA 1ìADMINRPT\20051 11-301Airport Request for Release.dot
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
If the FAA approves the Request for Release and closure of the airport, a request for proposals will be
completed to determine developer interest in the area. There have already been two development groups
show an interest in the property. Proceeds from the sale of the airport will likely be used to pay all or a
portion of $12,650,909 in federal grant funds received by the City. The Property Manager estimates the
property to be worth between $15,000,000 and $18,000,000 less the cost of relocation and remediation. A
formal appraisal is now being worked on and will be included in the documents to be sent to the FAA.

SUBJECT: Ward re-apportionment process.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council discuss and give direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
In response to Council's request, staff met and ran Ward boundary scenarios which attempted to
incorporate the Council discussion from November 9th. Staff was asked to look at ward boundaries using
a variation of more than 10 percent from optimum as a short term solution. That evaluation was to be
coupled with longer term solutions, such as going to an eighth ward and/or seeing if "contiguity" was
mandated by State law. The question of contiguity of ward boundaries is currently under review by the
City Attorney.
Staff's meeting resulted in two new concept scenarios. By increasing the percentages of disparity some
Councilmembers' concerns may have been lessened. . The concepts are numbers 21 and 22. These
concepts were distributed to the Council on November 18th. However, redistricting would again be
necessary before the 2008 election. Staff also prepared a draft scenario of a possible eighth ward
configuration. The idea of an eighth ward, while it does not resolve things for the 2006 election, is a
potential long term solution. However, it does require a Charter election and the legal issues have not
been fully researched.
