and Morning Drive, which will affect the northeast portion of the project site. Primary access to the
project site will be from the west and south as these adjacent properties develop.
The proposed C-2/PCD zone will require the developer to submit site plan and elevations for Planning
Commission review prior to development. At the time of Development Plan Review, issues related to
building orientation, architectural elevations, parking, landscaping, walls and lighting will be addressed.
On January 19, 2006, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the zone change. No one
spoke on this project at the hearing.

Resolutions
Items 12gg and hh. Reclassification. Chanqes to Salarv Schedules. Title Chanqe and Revised Job
Specifications. Currently, the employee who holds the position of Accounting Clerk II in the Wastewater
Division of Public Works performs duties consistent with a Revenue Program Aide, so a reclassification
of this person is requested. The additional cost will be absorbed by the Pretreatment/Revenue section
budget.
Collectively, the City and CCAPE updated job specifications for Trades Assistant and Maintenance
Craftworker I. Additionally, the title Trades Assistant will be changed to Trades Maintenance Worker to
provide a better description of the work actually being performed. The revised specifications were
approved by the Fire and Miscellaneous Civil Service Boards.
It has been more than 15 years since the position of Economic Development Director has been
reviewed. In that time, the job has become extremely more complex and has grown considerably,
requiring significant specialization regarding laws and operations in the development field. It is
recommended that the salary range of this position be elevated to correspond to the additional duties
and requirements.

CONSENT CALENDAR HEARINGS
Item 13a. Public Hearino to Consider Resolution Orderino the Vacation of a 20-Foot Wide Allev
Between Eve Street and Chester Avenue, from 27th Street to 28th Street. San Joaquin Community
Hospital in conjunction with Highgrove Medical Group, submitted a request to vacate the alley between
Eye Street and Chester Avenue, from the North right of way line of 27th Street to the South right of way
line of 28th Street. The area of the alley runs between the two medical office buildings owned by the two
above-mentioned parties. This area would be made into a greenbelt with grass, trees, meandering
sidewalk pathway, benches and picnic tables.
No objections have been received as of the date of this report. PG&E and SBC California request an
easement be reserved because they have existing facilities within the area. The proposed vacation was
approved by the Planning Department on December 2, 2005 and was found to be consistent with the
2010 General Plan.
Item 13b. Public Hearino to Consider Resolution Orderino the Vacation of 22"d Street between V Street
and Golden State Hiohwav. Banks Pest Control wants to expand its property in order to have more room
for service vehicles and for additional office space for future growth. In order to do this, they want that
portion of "V" Street, between 22"d Street and Golden State Highway vacated. Access to and from
Golden State Highway is still available at "V" Street. No objections have been received as of the date of
this report. The proposed vacation was approved by the Planning Department on December 15, 2005
and was found to be consistent with the 2010 General Plan

Proposino Proceedinos for Annexation of Uninhabited Territorv ConsistinQ of 98.6 Net Acres Located
South of Panama Lane to Berkshire Road Generallv East of South Union Avenue. The entire annexation

Berkshire Road) and a future drainage site. The owner intends to develop the land and receive City
services.
HEARINGS
Item 14a. Public Hearino to Consider Appeal of the Plan nino Commission's Decision DenvinQ Approval
of Vestino Tentative Tract 6433. On January 5, 2006, of the four Planning Commissioners that were
present at the hearing, two commissioners voted for the project and two commissioners voted against
the project. The tie vote resulted in denial of the project by operation of law.
The proposal would create 22 lots for homes on 9 acres out of the 197 acre Rio Bravo Golf Course
parcel. The homes would gain access via the existing private street system for the Rio Bravo golf course
community. The map was originally scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission in October
2005, but was continued to allow the applicant and those who were in opposition to the project (residents
of the Rio Bravo community) to present additional evidence in support of each of their positions. To
address concerns raised regarding access to existing homes during construction of street improvements,
a condition is recommended to require that a second access street to Miramonte Drive be constructed
prior to recordation of the final subdivision map. It is staff's opinion that all of the issues raised by the
opponents have been adequately addressed. Staff recommends approval of Vesting Tentative Tract
6433 subject to conditions of approval.
Item 14b. Public Hearino to Consider Fireworks Reoulations. Fireworks Fees. Recreation & Parks Fees.
The purpose of the amendments is to: 1) make the City's fireworks ordinance permitting requirements as
similar as possible to Kern County's permit regulations; 2) make the City's fireworks ordinance sales and
use requirements consistent with the County's; 3) add the cost of increased enforcement efforts into the
Agenda Highlights

Page 5
fireworks permit applications fee; 4) constrict the times of use, consistent with the County.; 5) authorize
Kern County Fire Inspection and Prevention Officers to enforce the City ordinance within City limits; and
6) strengthen the City's penalty options against Code violators to deter future violations. The Legislative
and Litigation Committee recommends the changes.
The Recreation and Parks Department has experienced several changes that warrant new fees for
services and changes in existing fees. The recommended changes, most of which are necessary for the
operation of The Park at River Walk, are detailed in the administrative report.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 17a. Resolution Dispensinq with Biddinq Procedures for Construction of a Permanent Pump
Station for Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 Due to Imminent Threat to Public Health. Safety and
Welfare in an amount not to exceed $8.000.000. The Buena Vista Phase II sewer trunk line included a
pump station located at the northwest corner of Gosford Road and McCutchen Road. The pump station
was designed as a temporary facility until such time that nearby Treatment Plant No. 3 was expanded
and a permanent pump station installed.
On June 17, 2004, the first of several failures occurred at the temporary pump station causing a spill at
the intersection of Buena Vista Road and McCutchen Road; the low point in the system. Since that time,
the frequency of problems at the pump station has grown steadily. A recent analysis of the pump station
determined that it needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
Due to the operational situation and potential for additional sewer spills, staff recommends a tactic that
would greatly accelerate construction of the new permanent pump station. By dispensing with formal
bidding, the new permanent pump station could be in place within 7 or 8 months, depending on
equipment and pipe procurement, rather than the 18 months currently anticipated using traditional
methods.
Preliminary estimates indicate the cost to construct the new permanent pump station to be approximately
$8 million. Therefore, staff recommends dispensing with the regular bidding process and appropriating
$8 million from the Sewer Enterprise Fund. Staff is in the process of obtaining informal bids to perform
this work. Staff will bring back to the Council for approval the results of the informal bid process.

at the southwest corner of State Route 178 and Morning Drive. (Mcintosh & Associates
representing Sterling Oaks East, LLC, File # 05-1381). (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed zone change from an R-1 (One Family Dwelling) zone to a C-2/PCD (C-2 (Regional
Commercial/ Planned Commercial Development) zone on 15.9+/- acres for purposes of commercial
development located on the southwest corner of State Route178 and Morning Drive (future). The
applicant requests the zone change so that the zone on the subject property is consistent with the Generai
Commercial (GC) designation on the General Plan.
On January 19, 2006, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the zone change. No one
spoke on this project at the Planning Commission hearing.
The proposed C-2/PCD zone will require the developer to submit site plan and elevations for Planning
Commission review prior to development of the project site. At the time of Development Plan Review,
issues related to building orientation, architectural elevations, parking, landscaping, walls and lighting
would be addressed.
The project site is bordered by State Route 178 on the north boundary and there will be no access allowed
directly from/to SR 178. Morning Drive (future) along the eastern boundary is designated as the future
alignment of State Route 184 and will have very limited access onto Morning Drive, as determined by
Caltrans. In addition, Caltrans and the City are currently preparing plans for an interchange at SR 178 and
Morning Drive, which will affect the northeast portion of the project site. Caltrans submitted comments
related to required right-of-way dedications (Condition No.1). Primary access to the project site will be
from the west and south as these adjacent properties develop.

February 24, 2006
SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance of the City of Bakersfield, Adding Chapter 13.10 to the
Bakersfield Municipal Code, to establish certain procedures respecting special tax districts.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends motion to adopt the ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The City has recently entered into development agreements with local land owners
associated with the Old River Ranch and Rosedale Ranch projects. The City also entered into a pre-
annexation agreement with Sun Cal regarding the McAllister Ranch project. Each of these agreements
includes a commitment by the City to provide a mechanism for financing public facilities and/or services
commonly known as Community Facilities Districts (CFD); also known as Mello-Roos Financing.
Community Facility Districts provide developers with an optional financing mechanism to fund public
facilities and services. A special tax is placed on the properties within the district, generally associated
with the repayment of debt incurred by the district to fund the public improvements.
In order for the City to be able to provide this type of financing to these developers the City needs to adopt
an ordinance allowing for the formation of CFD's. The City will also need to adopt a policy document
regarding CFD's to establish some perimeters and guidelines for the districts. City staff are working with
the Building Industry Association (BIA), local developers, outside bond counsel and financial advisors to
develop the draft policy. We expect to present the draft policy document to the Budget and Finance
Committee at their March 2006 meeting date. After their review, the policy document will come before the
full Council for their consideration.
The draft ordinance document was reviewed by the Budget and Finance Committee at their February 8,
2006 meeting. The Committee recommended that the draft ordinance be forwarded to the full Council for
first reading.
First reading of the ordinance was approved by City Council at the February 22, 2006 meeting date.

(File No. 05-1407) (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on February 22, 2006.
On January 5, 2006, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the zone change request
from an R-1 (One Family Dwelling) zone to a PUD (Planned Unit Development) zone on 7.27 acres
located at the southeast corner of Ming Avenue and Grand Lakes to allow a private gated street
single family residential development. The project site is located adjacent the Seven Oaks Country
Club golf course and tennis courts.
The applicant is proposing a unique single family residential development that is different from the
typical suburban-type subdivision. The related PUD consists of villa-styled, clustered single family
residential homes with courtyards to promote a secure, neighborhood-friendly atmosphere. The
subdivision is designed to maximize the number of lots with views to the Seven Oaks Gplf Course.
There are 29 lots proposed. A reduced membership fee to the Country Club will be offered. The
applicant requests reducing the front yard setback from 25 feet to 20 feet.
The elevations of the homes depict Spanish-style architecture with stucco walls, tile roofs and wood
trim. Colors are browns, tans and whites. One and two story models are proposed (Exhibit "C")
To facilitate development of this PUD, several modifications to City standards were requested with
related Vesting Tentative Tract 6681, approved by the Planning Commission on January 5, 2006 with

29 lots. The subdivision included a request for private streets, non-radial and non-perpendicular lot
lines, double frontage lots, flag lots, non-standard cul-de-sacs and knuckle design to facilitate the
development of this PUD.
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff has determined the proposed project will not
significantly affect the physical environment or existing residential development in the area, therefore
a Negative Declaration was prepared and advertised.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change.

R-1/ PUD (One Family Dwelling/Planned Unit Development) zone on 574 acres
for property generally bounded by State Highway 178 on the north, with Morning
Drive located to the west, Vineland Road to the east and College Avenue to the
south, for purposes of developing single family residences (Applicant: S & J
Alfalfa Companies). (Zone Change No. 05-1063) (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading was conducted on February 8, 2006
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on a general plan amendment
and zone change and recommended approval to the City Council on December 15,
2005.
The concurrent zone change is from an R-1 (One Family Dwelling) zone to a R-1/ PUD
(One Family Dwelling/Planned Unit Development) zone on 574 acres. The R-1/PUD
zone requires the developer to submit plans for development plan review prior to
construction. These plans have been submitted and recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission.
Approval of the R-1/PUD zone change for this project includes approval of development
plans. The development plans for this project contain a system of interlinking trails
which are intended to preserve the existing open space and natural topography of the
site. Development plans show 2 private recreational facilities, private-community parks,
and landscaped walkways in a gated private street community. All streets, common lot
landscaping, recreational facilities and other common areas will be maintained by a
homeowners association. The developer proposes four distinctive private-gated street
subdivisions which employ a wide variety of thematic, European architecture and which
incorporate various landscape treatments that compliment each individual theme.
The proposal provides a logical extension for residential development in the northeast
portion of the City of Bakersfield. The General Plan encourages the orderly outward
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
expansion of new urban development that maintains continuity of existing development
and allows incremental expansion of infrastructure and public services. The proposal is
consistent with the General Plan. The general area is being developed with urban uses.
A minor typographical error was included in the conditions the Council received for first
reading. Condition #2 has been corrected to require that development plans be
approved by the Planning "Director" rather than the Planning "Commission" because
development plans are being approved with this project.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCLUSION:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines have been followed for the
environmental effects of this project. The Environmental Impact Report was certified by
the City Council on February 8, 2006. The EIR recommended mitigation measures and
most environmental effects can be reduced to a less than significant levels. The
mitigation measures are listed as conditions of approval in for this zone change.

and amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code and Zoning Map No. 124-09 from A
(Agriculture), R-S (Residential Suburban) and OS (Open Space) to R-1 (One Family
Dwelling) on approximately 110 acres, generally located at the southeast corner of
Cottonwood Road and Cas a Loma Drive. Pinnacle Engineering, representing Tim
Denari of BVGG LLC, the property owner, has applied for a general plan amendment on
approximately 110 acres. An appeal to the Planning Commission decision was
submitted by the applicant. (ZC 05-0410). (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on February 8, 2006.
The City Council added a condition 32 regarding the requirement for a "wet park".
The applicant appealed the decision of the Planning Commission on the case. The Planning
Commission voted 3-2 vote for project approval which means the project was denied by Operation of
Law (did not receive 4 affirmative votes).
This Zone Change would permit the development of residential uses on the 106 acres. The site is
currently a fully developed and operational golf course (Pepper Tree Golf Course). The site has been
extensively modified including changes to the topography, landscaping of fairways and putting greens,
introduced trees, and sand traps. There has been significant entitlement activity along Cottonwood
Road and several residential projects have recently been approved in the general vicinity. The project
site will continue to have a buffer with the arterial (Casa Loma Drive) between it and the M-2 zoned
property to the north. Although close to the city sewer treatment facility the project is not within the City
established Y.í mile setback for odor sensitive land uses. The proposal would allow the development to
receive City services for the future residential subdivision of the site.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The Planning Commission conducted public hearing(s) on this Zone Change on December 1, 2005.
Commissioner Spencer was concerned regarding the loss of the only golf course in the southeast
Bakersfield area. Commissioner McGinnis was concerned this action might set a precedent for other
golf course closures in the City. No one was in opposition to the request and the applicant agreed to all
conditions and mitigation for the project. There were no agencies in opposition to the request.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a significant effect
on the environment. Therefore, a negative declaration was prepared and posted on November 7, 2005,
in accordance with CEQA.

SUBJECT: A Resolution of the Council of the City of Bakersfield approving the submittal of an
application to the California Integrated Waste Management Board for the Waste Tire
Cleanup Grant for a period of one year, 2006-2007.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: This Resolution authorizes the Development Services Department, Code
Enforcement Division to submit an application to the Califomia Integrated Waste Management Board
for a Waste Tire Cleanup Grant. The grant, ($76,416.00) will fund staff directly for the cost of cleanup,
abatement, or other remedial actions related to the disposal of waste tires. In addition to Code
Enforcement staff, funding for a part time Solid Waste Equipment Operator to respond to illegal
dumpsites involving waste tires upon the public right-of-way and the costs associated with a licensed
waste tire hauler to transport the tires to a permitted waste tire storage facility or disposal site as
included.
This is an effective way to address the City of Bakersfield's need to eradicate waste tires illegally
dumped upon private properties and throughout the public right-of-ways. Illegally dumped waste tires
contribute to blight, vector control and other health and safety hazards to the public and environment.
Illegal dumpsites not abated in a timely manner contribute to the potential of additional waste tires
accumulating into tire piles. The cleanup projects are intended to mitigate potential fire and health
risks posed by these tire piles within our jurisdiction.

2. Amendment No. 1 to Resolution No. 049-06 approving Memorandum of Understanding
for employees of the Blue and White Collar Units and adopting salary schedule and

3. Revised Job Specification: Maintenance Craftworker I
4. Title Change and Revised Job Specification:
Trades Assistant to Trades Maintenance Worker
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the reclassification, title change, and revised job specifications and
adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Reclassification:
Raul Rojas, Public Works Director has requested the reclassification of the Accounting Clerk 1/ position in
the Wastewater Division to Revenue Program Aide. Currently, the Accounting Clerk 1/ is performing all the
duties of the Revenue Program Aide classification. The depth of knowledge and skills required to handle
complex sewer surcharge calculation is well above the requirement of an Accounting Clerk II. There is
currently one Revenue Program Aide in the Wastewater Division. This reclassification will result in two
such positions handling sewer billing activities. Both positions are required to be knowledgeable of all
Revenue Program functions in order to provide better customer service and improve efficiency. The
additional $3200 annual cost will be absorbed by the Pretreatment/Revenue section budget.
Revised Job SDecifications: The City and CCAPE have collaboratively updated the job specifications for
Trades Assistant and Maintenance Craftworker I. All affected departments, i.e. Fire, Public Works,
Recreation & Parks, and Water were involved in this process. The job specifications have been revised to

provide clarity of assignments and better define responsibilities. The changes give the City more flexibility
in assigning work while providing development opportunities for employees.
The title of Trades Assistant will be changed to Trades Maintenance Worker to provide a better description
of the type of work performed. There is no budgetary impact as the salaries will remain the same.
CCAPE concurs with the proposed recommendation. The revised job specifications were approved by the
Fire Civil Service Board at their February 13, 2006 meeting. The reclassification and revised jOb
specifications were approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their February 21, 2006

SUBJECT:
Amendment No. 18 to Resolution No. 122-Q1 approving Memorandum of Understanding
for Employees of the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and Management Units and
Adopting Salary Schedule and Related Benefits for Economic Development Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
It has been more than 15 years since the position of Economic Development Director has been reviewed.
In that time, the job has become extremely more complex and has grown considerably. The position now
requires significant specialization regarding laws and operations in the development field. It should also
require an Economic Development Finance Professional designation, and a California Broker's license
would be highly desirable.
Also, the position now requires the ability to frequently research and file competitive applications for grants
on a national level, and to obtain creative and low interest loans to further key projects.
In addition to the technical skills, the position requires mentoring and training of management and
technical staff concerning redevelopment project management and implementation. As the scope of this
position grows, it is necessary that the supporting team gain development principals and financing skills
involving complex redevelopment project assignments.
It is recommended that the salary range of this position be elevated to correspond to that of the Water
Resources Manager, which due to the myriad of laws concerning water rights and usage, is a comparable
position.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1435 to establish Traffic Signal Maintenance District TS-13,
(Panama and Stine Shopping Center) preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving
Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the property owner of
parcel 3 described in Parcel Map No. 9918 to form a traffic signal maintenance district for the operation
and maintenance of one (1) traffic signal on Panama Lane at approximately 500 feet west of Stine Road at

Maintenance District No. TS-13 (Panama and Stine Shopping Center), generally bounded by Seasons
Drive on the north, Stine Road on the east, Farmers Canal on the west and Panama Lane on the south.
On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution 161-94 which provides for the coliection of
maintenance and operating costs for future "convenience" traffic signals through traffic signal 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 parcel.
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.

Storm drain improvements on 38'h Street between Q Street and San Dima
1. Reimbursement Agreement with Colombo Construction for project not to exceed
$80,000.00
2. Appropriate $80,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund balance to the Capital Improvement
Budget (Wastewater Treatment Plant #2).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: Over the years, Downtown Bakersfield has experienced localized drainage and
flooding problems. In an effort to identify and remedy the problems, Public Works commissioned a master
drainage study of the downtown area. The study was extensive and provided a blueprint for a number of
individual projects to be implemented over several years. One of the projects identified was a 24"' storm
drain line on 38'h Street between Q Street and San Dimas Street.
Colombo Construction was hired by the developer to build Memorial Medical Plaza located north of
Memorial Hospital and west of San Dimas Street. As part of their development, Memorial Medical Plaza
had to construct a storm drain along 38th Street in the same location as was identified in the master
drainage study. Since the drainage flows produced by Memorial Medical Plaza was roughly equal to
existing flows, Colombo offered to oversize the storm drain to take all drainage waters in one pipe
provided they get reimbursed for the over-sizing.
This agreement provides for the costs associated with over-sizing the storm drain pipe. Staff recommends
approval of the reimbursement agreement and appropriation.

February 23, 2006
1) Appropriate $325,258. DD Southeast Project Area Housing Funds to the Capital
Improvement Budget for the acquisition of eleven Tax Default Properties located in the
Southeast Redevelopment Project Area. (See addresses below)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
On July 11, 2005, the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency approved Resolution No. RA 2-05 authorizing
the purchase of tax-default properties located at: Union and 7'" Street (4 properties - $281,900); Virginia
and Owens Street (2 properties - $3,400); 334 Clifton ($6,700); 121 Milham ($5,000); 29 Augusta
($3,900); 16 Milham ($21,800); and 226 East 6th ($2,000). The last Tax-Defaulted Property Auction sale
for Kern County was held in August of 2005. The total cost for the acquisition of these parcels is
$325,258.11, which includes an advertising fee of $558.11. Properties that were listed for auction were
those with property taxes not paid by owners for five consecutive years.
The Economic and Community Development Department reviewed the list of properties that were
available for auction, and thirteen parcels located in the Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project
Area were identified for purchase. Two of the properties have been redeemed, leaving the eleven parcels
listed above available for purchase. Staff surveyed all of the properties located in the redevelopment
project area on the list and determined these would be of most benefit to our current initiatives.
Seven of the parcels are vacant residential lots and will be utilized for the construction of affordable single-
family homes in the various Southeast neighborhoods as a component of the Southeast Infill Housing
Program. Four of the parcels are vacant commercial lots located on Union Avenue, in the Southeast
Redevelopment Area, and will be utilized for economic development. In both cases, the Economic and
Community Development Department will work with developers/contractors to build quality affordable
single family homes for eligible low income homebuyers and provide economic development opportunities
for interested parties. Funding for the acquisition of these tax default properties will come from the 20%
Housing Set Aside fund.

SUBJECT: Report from the Planning Commission regarding request for direction on increased public
noticing for development projects requiring hearings (Citywide)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the memo from the Chair of the Planning Commission and
refer this issue to the Planning and Development Committee.
BACKGROUND:
At the January 19, 2006, Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission discussed increased
public noticing for development projects requiring hearings. The attached memo from Barbara Lomas,
Chair of the Planning Commission, discusses the City's current notification policy and contains
recommended revisions to the policy.
Based on input Commissioners have been receiving from the public, Chairperson Lomas is of the opinion
that due to the City's growing population and increased public interest in development, the current
notification procedures may better serve the public if the notification radius were expanded.
It is recommended by the Planning Commission that the notification radius be expanded from the current
300 feet to 500 feet. In addition, the Planning Commission recommends that the notice be posted on the
project site by the applicant within 15 days of application submittal in order to better inform affected
neighborhoods of upcoming projects.
In order to implement the Planning Commission's recommended revisions to the City's notification policy,
amendments to Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 17.64.050 (Zoning Ordinance - Hearing Notices) and
Section 16.16.060 (Subdivision Ordinance - Public Hearing) would be required. It would also require
adoption of an administrative policy by the Planning Department to apply the expanded notification radius
to General Plan Amendments.
The Planning Commission has stated it is willing to offer assistance in developing policies and ordinances
and conducting hearings, as appropriate, on Council's direction.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
San Joaquin Community Hospital in conjunction with Highgrove Medical Group, had submitted a request
to vacate the alley between Eye Street and Chester Avenue, from the North right of way line of 27th Street
to the South right of way line of 28th Street. The area of the alley runs between the two medical office
buildings owned by the two above-mentioned parties. This area would be made into a greenbelt with
grass and trees and a meandering sidewalk pathway. They also plan to have benches and picnic tables
for the use of public coming to both medical office buildings and the staff of both companies.
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.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. PG&E and SBC California request an
easement be reserved should the vacation be granted because they have existing facilities within the
area.
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 December 2, 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.

application for annexation of uninhabited territory to the City of Bakersfield identified as
Annexation No. 481, consisting of 98.6 net acres located south of Panama Lane to
Berkshire Road, generally east of South Union Avenue. 0Nard 7).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The resolution approves the Negative Declaration and makes application for annexation of
uninhabited territory to the City of Bakersfield. The proposed annexation identified as
Annexation No. 481 contains 98.6 net acres. The area to be developed (98.6 acres) is
reflected in the negative declaration. The entire annexation area contains considerable
area lost to the Arvin-Edison canal, street right-of-way (Panama Lane and Berkshire
Road) and a future drainage site. The annexation is adjacent to the City limits and is within
the City's Sphere of Influence boundary.
The property owners of the area have consented to annexation. The proposal is to annex
land for development purposes and receive city services.
The exchange of property tax revenues for this annexation will be covered under the
master tax split agreement (Memorandum of Understanding 95-244) between the City of
Bakersfield and County of Kern. The basis for this determination is that this annexation is
covered under b. 7. of the agreement "Annexation of Uninhabited Land and Residential
Development."

SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider appeal by Porter-Robertson Engineering representing A & E Union of
denial of Planning Commission decision on Vesting Tentative Tract 6433. (Applicant/Appellant:
Porter-Robertson Engineering representing A & E Union). (Ward 3)
1. Adoption of a Resolution overturning the decision of the Planning Commission,
approving the appeal, approving the Negative Declaration and approving Vesting
Tentative Tract 6433 generally located on the north and south sides of Casa Club Drive
within the Rio Bravo Country Club area.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommends Adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On January 5, 2006 the Planning Commission denied Vesting Tentative Tract map 6433 by operation of law. Of
the four Planning Commissioners that were present at the hearing, two commissioners voted for the project and
two commissioners voted against the project. The tie vote resulted in denial of the project by operation of law.
The proposal would create 22 lots for homes on 9 acres out of the 197 acre Rio Bravo Golf Course parcel. The
homes would gain access via the existing private street system for the Rio Bravo golf course community.
The map was originally scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission in October 2005, but was continued
to allow the applicant and those who were in opposition to the project (residents of the Rio Bravo community) to
present additional evidence in support of each of their positions.
The residents of the Rio Bravo community, who were in opposition to the project, raised the following issues: 1)
Transportation and traffic; 2) Land Use/Entitlements; 3) Need for Environmental Impact Report; 4) Aesthetics; 5)
Air Quality; 6) Public Service; 7) Traffic and safety; 8) Sidewalks; 9) Street width; 10) Construction activities; 11)
Dust control; and 12) Rezoning (See letters/Correspondence - Background Materials Exhibit "3"). The
applicant's attorney prepared a response to these issues, which is included in this report as Background
Materials Exhibit "2". Included in the report were a traffic study and an air quality impact analysis. To address
concerns raised regarding access to existing homes during construction of street improvements, Condition No.
24 is recommended to require that a second access street to Miramonte Drive be constructed prior to
recordation of the final map for this proposed subdivision.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

It is staff's opinion that all of the issues raised by the opponents have been adequately addressed. Staff
recommends approval of Vesting Tentative Tract 6433 subject to conditions of approval contained in Exhibit "1".
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION I PUBLIC NOTICE:
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 reduce the impacts to cultural resources to less than significant. No other significant
impacts were identified.

SUBJECT: Fireworks Ordinance, Fireworks Fees and Recreation and Parks Fees
1. Adoption of Ordinance Amending Chapter 8.44 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code
Relating to Fireworks.
2. Adoption of Ordinance Amending Chapter 15.64 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code
Relating to Miscellaneous Regulations of the Uniform Fire Code.
3. Resolution adopting fees pursuant to the cost recovery program.
(Fireworks booth inspection fees and Recreation and Parks fees.) (City-wide)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinances and adoption of the resolution following the public hearing.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance Revisions
For several months, the Fireworks Task Force has been meeting to come to a resolution of how best to
deal with the sale and use of fireworks throughout the City and County. At the February 14, 2006
Legislative and Litigation Committee meeting, the Committee recommended first reading of the changes to
the attached ordinances. The purpose of these amendments is to: 1) make the City's fireworks ordinance
permitting requirements as similar as possible to the County of Kern's fireworks permit regulations; 2)
make the City's fireworks ordinance sales and use requirements consistent with the County of Kern's
sales and use regulations; 3) add the cost of increased enforcement efforts into the fireworks permit
application fee; and 4) constrict the times of use from year round to time periods around specific events
associated with the use of fireworks and consistent with County restrictions; 5) authorize County of Kem
fire inspection and prevention officers to enforce the City ordinance in the City limits; and 6) strengthen the
City's penalty options against code violators to deter future violations.
These ordinances had first reading on February 22, 2006. At that time Councilmember Scrivner moved
that the time for sale of fireworks be extended from 10 p.m. on July 1, 2 and 3 to 11 p.m. That change has
been made.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Fees and Charaes
State law requires new fees and charges, as well as increases in existing fees and charges be adopted by
ordinance or resolution following a public hearing. The City's procedure is provided for in Chapter 3.70 of
the Bakersfield Municipal Code.
Fireworks Booth Permit Fee:
The City recently made changes to the Fireworks Ordinance (BMC 8.44.035.1) to clarify that the sales
permit applicant/non-profit retailer of fireworks will bear the cost of additional public education for the use
of fireworks and increased manpower costs for additional enforcement efforts of the prohibition on use of
illegal fireworks. Staff has determined that a fee increase of $203 is needed to fund the cost of the
additional enforcement of illegal fireworks as set forth in Section 3.70.040 of the Cost Recovery System.
This information was reviewed by the Legislative & Litigation Committee on February 14, 2006 and is
being forwarded to the full Council for their consideration.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Recreation and Parks:
The Department of Recreation and Parks has recently experienced several changes that warrant new fees
for services and changes in existing fees. Due to the immediacy of the project, most importantly, The Park
at River Walk, the following are proposed:
E -82 RECREATION / CULTURAL
Park Facilitv Rental
. The Park at River Walk (smaller picnic areas)
. The Park at River Walk (larger picnic areas)
Resident
$100
$150
Non-Resident
$125
$185
The smaller picnic areas seat approximately 16-32 people. The fee covers the cost of labor for
maintenance and repairs, utilities, and materials/supplies for a reservable picnic space in the first regional
park for the city. The larger picnic areas seat approximately 32-48 people with BBQ units, except the
pavilion which holds 72 people. These rates are for the initial 4-hour block, with a fee for each additional
hour. The amenities are much more extensive because The Park at River Walk is a regional park with two
lakes, extensive parking, and larger restrooms. The cost of maintenance, repairs, materials, and supplies
are much higher than at other city parks.
Park Facilitv Rental
. Bright House Networks Amphitheatre @
The Park at River Walk
(Base Rent + Negotiable Items)
This newly built amphitheatre is a first of its kind for the city. City staff researched other comparable
facilities to determine rent and programming. Ticketed events will pay for fencing, additional seating, work
lights, trash service for event, clean-up, maintenance, repair, and materials/supplies. Non-ticketed events
will not include fencing. Additional items will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis such as 1)
concessions, 2) percentage of ticket sales, and, 3) percentage of promotional/merchandise sales.
Ticketed
$2,000
Non-Ticketed
$1,200
Miscellaneous Park Services
. Vendor Display Booth (no sales)
Private
$30
Non-Profit
$20
Vendors (for profit and non-profit) have expressed an interest in providing their information at City events.
This fee allows for a vendor to have a display booth only, no sales allowed. The fee covers space rental,
maintenance, repair, and materials/supplies. A reduced rate is proposed for non-profits since they are
providing public infonmation.
. Adopt-A-Bench
Plaque
$300
Bench w/Plaque
$1,100
The public has expressed an interest in "memorializing" or honoring loved ones. The program has two
options: plaque only or a bench with a plaque. The placement location will be approved by City staff.
This program also assists the city in obtaining needed seating in city parks.

Due to a change in the swim class requirements from Jeff Ellis & Associates (the Department's current
contractor for swim audits and training), swim lesson class times must be increased from 35 minutes to 60
minutes, necessitating an increase in the fee. The increased time will allow for warm-up, instruction,
reinforcement, and daily progress reports with parents. In addition, we are proposing to add semi-private
lessons. Semi-private lessons will be offered at a ratio of two students to one teacher.
Description Clarifications
Item F-97 is a word clarification to more properly reflect the type and purpose of the fee. The term "Check
Collection" is being replaced with "Return Check Change".

SUBJECT: Emergency Pump Station Construction at Wastewater Treatment Plant NO.3: (Ward 6)
1. A Resolution Dispensing with Bidding Procedures for Construction of a
Permanent Pump Station for Wastewater Treatment Plant No.3, Not to Exceed
$8,000,000 Due to Imminent Threat to Public Health, Safety and Welfare. (Five
affirmative votes required).
2. Appropriate $5 million Sewer Fund balance and appropriate and transfer $3
million additional sewer connection fee revenues to the capital improvement
budget within the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution (five affirmative votes required)
and approval of appropriations and transfer.
BACKGROUND:
SUMMARY OF PROBLEM
In June, 2002, the Buena Vista Phase II sewer trunk line was completed. This major sewer trunk
facility included a pump station located at the northwest corner of Gosford Road and McCutchen Road.
The pump station was designed as a temporary facility until such time that nearby Treatment Plant No.
3 was expanded and a permanent pump station installed.
On June 17, 2004, the first of several failures occurred at the temporary pump station causing a spill at
the intersection of Buena Vista Road and McCutchen Road; the low point in the system. Since that
time, the frequency of problems at the pump station has grown steadily. The situation has grown to the
pOint where the temporary pump station is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, the
pumps are back-flushed three times a day; an operation that should only have to be done every few
weeks.
A recent analysis of the pump station determined that it needs to be replaced as soon as possible. With
the tremendous grow1h Bakersfield has experienced in the last few years, the flow greatly outpaced
design assumptions made when the pump station was first contemplated.
LONG TERM SOLUTION
Expansion for Wastewater Plant No.3 is currently being designed. The work also includes design of a
new pump station to replace the temporary pump station. Once the new permanent pump station is in
place, the old temporary station will be abandoned.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
PROPOSAL
Design of the new permanent pump station is approximately 30% complete. If we were to accelerate
final design and construction of the new pump station, it could be operational in about 18 months. This
time frame is too long for the situation at hand. Since this design work will be broken up into several
separate design packages, the scope has changed. Therefore, an adjustment in Parson's contract for
this pump station design will be forthcoming. Once staff has obtained those changes, we will bring it
back to the Council for approval.
Due to the operational situation and potential for additional sewer spills, staff recommends a tactic that
would greatly accelerate construction of the new permanent pump station. By dispensing with formal
bidding, the new permanent pump station could be in place within 7 or 8 months, depending on
equipment and pipe procurement, rather than the 18 months currently anticipated using traditional
methods.
Preliminary estimates indicate the cost to construct the new permanent pump station to be
approximately $8 million.
Therefore, staff recommends dispensing with the regular bidding process and appropriating $8 million
from the Sewer Enterprise Fund. . Staff is in the process of obtaining informal bids to perform this work.
Staff will bring back to the Council for approval the results of the informal bid process including the
actual contractor who will perform the work.
