Resolutions
Item 12e. Resolution AdoptinQ an Alternate Retirement Svstem for Part-Time Employees in Lieu of Social
Security. Public agencies are allowed to participate in a Qualifying Retirement System in lieu of Social
Security for part-time, seasonal and temporary employees. Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS)
provides such a plan. Currently, the City pays 6.2% of payroll for all temporary employees into Social
Security and the employees pays 6.2% of wages into Social Security. The PARS plan offers a 457-defined
contribution plan whereby the City pays 0% and the employee will pay 7.5%.
The employees' benefits are that the deductions are pre-tax, providing them with a slightly higher wage, and
they will have a few options available to them when it is time for distribution. The projected savings to the
City is $1,300,000 over 10 years.
Item 12f. Resolution Pursuant to Court Order RescindinQ Approval of a General Plan Amendment for
Propertv Located on the East Side of Wible Road. approximatelv 200-feet South of Berkshire Road. In
September and October of 2005, Council adopted a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for this
property. Subsequent to this action, a lawsuit was filed against the City and developer alleging, among
other things, that approval of the GPAlZC violated provisions of CEQA. After extensive negotiations, the
lawsuit has been settled. The developer is agreeable to the proposal.
Pursuant to the court order, Council must rescind approval of the GPAlZC; thus, all conditions existing prior
to the approval will be reinstated.
Item 12i. Resolution AuthorizinQ the Finance Director to Dispense with the BiddinQ Procedure to Purchase
a Ribbon Board for the Rabobank Arena in an amount not to exceed $1.210,000. The Arena is currently
sold out of advertising space within the arena bowl. In an effort to increase space and, thus, advertising
revenue, staff is proposing the purchase and installation of an LED ribbon board. This ribbon board will also
be able to provide graphics, animations, text and real time game information, providing an interactive
medium to keep fans engaged when action stops on the field.
Staff recommends purchasing a Daktronics ribbon board, which will integrate with the existing Daktronics
video and scoring system. Maintenance would also be provided by the same supplier. Part of the savings
from the refinancing of the Arena Bonds will be used for this purchase.

Item 12k. Amendment to Resolution No. 003-06 DispensinQ with BiddinQ Procedures due to Emerqencv
Replacement of EnQine/Generator at Wastewater Treatment Plant No.2, in an amount not to exceed
$500,000. In January, 2006, based on staff's recommendation, Council entered into an agreement with
Caterpillar Company to purchase an engine/generator on a sole source basis. Subsequently, the Caterpillar
supplier informed staff that their proposed Caterpillar engine/generator suitably sized for Plant 2 would not
meet the new, stricter San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control Board's emission requirements.
Based on the criteria of price, delivery time, local references by operators of these engines, and
manufacturer guarantee in meeting strict emission requirements, staff has determined that Deutz
Corporation manufactures an engine/generator that will be able to meet all of the requirements. The
manufacturer will guarantee performance to local air emission standards and will repair the engine, if
required, to maintain this performance. The total cost of the engine/generator, shipping, installation, spare
parts, and startup assistance is estimated to be $500,000.
Aqreements
Item 12x. Purchase AQreement with ROQer D. and PeQQv L. Whitaker for Property Located at 3120
HoskinQ Road in the amount of $500.000 The City is acquiring this property for the future Hosking
Road/Wible Road intersection. The price includes the fair market value plus escrow closing costs and
relocation assistance. Staff recommends appropriating $500,000 additional Traffic Impact Fee revenue to
the Capital Improvement Budget within the Transportation Development Fund to accomplish this purchase.
This acquisition is consistent with the 2010 General Plan.
Bids
Item 12ii. Award Contract to Loop Electric, Inc. for Traffic SiQnallnstallation on Camino Media at Scarlet
Oak Drive and Camino Media at Roadrunner Drive, and Interconnect Svnchronization on Camino Media at
HaQQin Oaks Boulevard to MinQ Avenue in the amount of $207.876. This project consists of installing traffic
signals, lighting systems, pavement markings, and signage at the intersections of Camino Media at Scarlet
Oak Boulevard and Camino Media at Roadrunner Drive. The project also includes installing interconnect
conduit to include the two above referenced new signals, as well as the existing signal at Camino Media at
Haggin Oaks Boulevard into the City's Intelligent Transportation System.
The majority of this project (88.53%) is funded with federal Congestion Management Air Quality funds This
project is also included on the Traffic Facilities List; therefore, staff recommends using traffic impact fee
revenue to fund the local match. Three acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to Loop
Electric, Inc.
Item 12kk. Award Contract to Griffith Company for Construction of the Rosedale HiQhwav WideninQ Proiect
between Gibson Street and HiQhwav 99 in the amount of $2.133.538. Several years ago, the City and State
entered into a cooperative agreement whereby the City would act as the lead agency for the widening of
Rosedale Highway. The City worked with the developers of Costco to widen the north side of the road,
which included a third westbound lane, as well as a left turn lane at Camino Del Rio Court. The current
project consists of adding an additional lane in each direction between Gibson Street and Highway 99, dual
left turn lanes, an additional turn lane from eastbound Rosedale Highway to southbound Highway 99, and
signal modifications at Gibson Street, Rosedale Plaza and Camino Del Rio Court. Trees will be removed on
the south side of Rosedale Highway, and additional trees will be planted on completion as required per the
Municipal Code. Lane closures on Rosedale Highway will only be allowed at night.
The City received $400,000 from CalTrans for their portion of the agreement. The City proceeded with their
responsibilities set by the cooperative agreement, which included project outlay, right-of-way acquisition and
environmental documentation. Delays in acquiring right-of-way from the individual property owners were
encountered which consumed a considerable amount time and funds. Three years passed and
construction costs skyrocketed before each of these tasks was accomplished. Staff reviewed other options
to perform this widening project at a lower cost, including the use of smaller contracts for the traffic signals
and asphalt concrete work, annual contractors and City forces. Unfortunately, the City cannot afford to tie

up the resources required for this project at this time.
Two bids were received. The total bid amount of both of these bids exceeded the Engineer's Estimate for
this project, which was approximately $1,500,000. Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and award
the contract to Griffith Company. Due to additional right-of-way costs and increases in the cost of
construction, the project will need additional funds in the amount of $2,000,000, which staff recommends
be appropriated.
Item 12/1. Award Contract to Brown and Fowler Construction for CBK Interface Facilitv Phase 4 in the
amount of $470,692. This project will bring four new domestic water booster pumps into operation, adding
needed capacity and pressure to the expanding southwest side of town. Six acceptable bids were received.
Staff recommends award to Brown and Fowler Construction.
Item 12mm. Award Contract to AC Materials, Inc. for Construction of the 2004/05 Federally Funded

the following streets: Oswell Street from City Limit to Columbus Street ('Nard 3); Coffee Road from
Stockdale Highway to Arvin Edison Canal ('Nards 2, 5); Coffee Road from Rosedale Highway to Friant Kern
Canal (Wards 2, 4); and White Lane from Wilson Road to Ashe Road ('Nard 6). In addition, this project will
improve the operation of the intersection at Oswell Street and Mallview Road by removing the existing cross
gutters and constructing of a new storm drain collection system. A list of previously approved projects for
Wards 1 and 7 are attached to the administrative report.
This project is partially funded by Federal Surface Transportation Program (STPL) funds. The appropriation
request is for storm drain improvements portion of the project. Three acceptable bids were received. Staff
recommends award to AC Materials, Inc.
Item 12nn. Award Contract to Griffith Companv to Construct Shoulder Pavino. Various Streets. FY 2004-05

from McKee Road to Poppyseed Street; Wible Road from Berkshire Road to Panama Lane; East Brundage
Lane from Washington Street to Oswell Street; South Mt. Vernon Avenue from Planz Road to East Belle
Terrace, and Buena Vista Road from Pensinger Road to Railroad right-of-way. The goal of this project is to
construct paved shoulders where none exist to help minimize the generation of dust.
Funding for this project is from a Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program
(CMAQ) Federai FY 2004-05 grant. Three acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to
Griffith Company.
Item 1200. Award Contract for Base Bid and Additive Alternate No. 1 to AC Electric Companv for

(CMAQ) funds. The Federal portion of this project is 88.53% with Gas Tax Funds covering the local match.
The appropriation request is to budget for the federal funds available for this project. Funds for the local
match are already budgeted. Funds will be used for award of this bid, design engineering, construction
inspection services, potential change orders, and other miscellaneous costs. Two acceptable bids were
received. Staff recommends award to AC Electric Company.

Miscellaneous
Item 12pp. Assessment District and Related Public FinancinG Authoritv (PFA) Bond Call. Various bond
calls have been processed during the fiscal year that were not anticipated nor planned for in the budget.
This action aligns budgetary approvals with actions taken to maintain compliance with staff fiduciary
responsibilities. Staff recommends appropriating $600,103 fund balances to the operating budgets within
various special assessment funds and PFA debt service funds to facilitate advance redemption of
Assessment and related PFA bonds.
Item 12rr. Miscellaneous Appropriations. The first appropriation is $2,300,000 of additional revenue to the
Public Works Department's operating budget within the Equipment Management Fund for increased fuel
and materials costs associated with maintaining fleet equipment. The unforeseen spike in fuel costs was
not incorporated in the current year budget estimates, and there has been a large increase in steel prices,
impacting several items used in the repair and maintenance of the City's fleet. This appropriation is offset
by internal rental revenue charged to the various departments based upon actual costs incurred for the
equipment.
Appropriation #2 is $370,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund Balance (Wastewater Treatment Plant No.3) to the
Public Works Department's operating budget for increased operating costs associated with emergency
repairs and odor control. This involves various operating line item accounts, such as in the overtime,
chemicals, and repair and maintenance accounts. This year there have been several unforeseen
emergency repairs at various sewer lift stations and a sewer line failure at Mount Vernon/Brundage. In
addition, staff is projecting to be over-expended in the chemicals account due to having to inject more
chemicals in the sewer system to control odor problems.
Appropriation #3 is $20,000 General Aviation Fund Balance to the Public Works Department's operating
budget for professional consultant services to develop an estimate for construction of a new airport and to
obtain an appraisal for the property, and demolition of the existing restaurant at the Bakersfield Municipal
Airport.
There is no General Fund impact associated with any of the appropriation requests.
HEARINGS
Item 14a. Public HearinG to Resolution EstablishinG Industrial and Commercial Sewer Service User
SurcharGes for FY 2006-07. Sewer user charges and fees are established annually and collected with
property taxes by the Kern County Tax Collector pursuant to the Municipal Code. These fees cover the cost
of operation and maintenance for the sewer treatment plants and for the existing sewer collection system.
A monthly surcharge is also assessed jf the flow and sewer strength exceed the baseline amount. City staff
is recommending an approximate 8% increase in the surcharge schedule for commercial and industrial
sewer service users for FY 2006-07.

SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 10.76 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code
Relating to Parades.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Through the years there have been many requests for parade permits in the City. A good deal of those
requests involved holding parades on residential streets. Accommodating those requests became a major
undertaking for the police department and public works, and negatively impacted the neighborhoods
themselves. At the same time, many requests were made to hold parades off of major streets, such as
White Lane. resulting in closures of large thoroughfares during the parade.
As a result of these concerns, the Legislative and Litigation Committee directed staff to look into amending
the parade ordinance and setting forth specific "corridors" which are available for parade routes. Staff
determined that five "corridors" would serve the City's parade needs well. Those five corridors are: Baker
Street corridor, "F" Street corridor, "L" Street corridor, East California Avenue corridor and the Truxtun
Avenue corridor. Instead of defining the exact parameters of those corridors in the ordinance, the Police
Department has created a parade manual which shows the parameters of each corridor. A parade route
does not have to consume an entire corridor; but these corridors are now the only areas where parades
can be held.
The current ordinance allows parade permit applications to be submitted as little as two days before the
event. This puts tremendous pressure on staff to review the permit and, if it was granted, to make sure
the requisite city departments were notified in time. This ordinance sets forth that applications must be
submitted at least ten days before the parade is scheduled.
The current ordinance has no requirement that businesses along the proposed routes get any notification
regarding upcoming parades. This ordinance adds a section which requires organizers of parades to
attempt to notify business owners on parade routes at least three days prior to a parade to allow the
business owners to make any necessary adjustments for the parade.
First reading of the ordinance occurred on April 5, 2006.

Change No. 04-1704 for property located on the east side of Wible Road, approximately
200 feet south of Berkshire Road. (Originally approved by Resolution No. 233-05 and
Ordinance No. 4277, adopting on 09128/05 and 10/12/05, respectively.) (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In September and October of 2005, the City Council adopted a General Plan Amendment and
accompanying Zone Change (No. 04-1704) for property located on the east side of Wible Road,
approximately 200 feet south of Berkshire Road. In November of 2005, a lawsuit was filed (Wible Road
Action Group v. City of Bakersfield, et al.) against the City and the developer (Gerald Almgrem of Kern
Delta Land Development Corporation) alleging, among other things, that approval of this GPA/ZC violated
provisions of CEQA.
After extensive negotiations, the parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit. The terms of the settlement
have been approved and ordered by the court. One of the conditions of settlement is that the Council
rescind approval of the GPA and ZC so that the General Plan designations and zoning that existed on the
property prior to approval of the GPA and ZC are reinstated. The developer is agreeable to this proposal,
as it still allows him to develop the property, subject to certain conditions and restrictions.
In order to comply with the terms of the stipulation and court order, this action rescinding the GPA and ZC
approved last fall must be passed by the City Council.

northwest comer of Verdugo Lane and Snow Road. (Ward 4).
2. Annexation No. 524, containing 0.24 acres of uninhabited land located east
of Hughes Lane, south of Highway 58. (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolutions.
BACKGROUND:
The resolution of application proposes proceedings for annexation of uninhabited
territory to the City of Bakersfield. The proposed annexations are identified as

BACKGROUND: Assessment hearing was held on April 10, 2006, by the Assistant City Manager
and all proposed charges were confirmed. The subject properties listed below were in violation of
Chapter 8.27 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining open and abandoned
dilapidated structures which constitute public nuisances and prohibits maintaining hazardous weeds,
debris and waste matter. The property owners were notified and failed to comply with the notices to
abate such public nuisance. After a hearing duly noticed and held before the Building Director, the
Director issued orders requiring the property owner to abate the public nuisance. The subject
properties are listed as follows:

The owners of the above-mentioned properties failed to commence the required work as ordered by
the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed above were abated under the direction of the Chief Code
Enforcement Officer. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed against the property as provided
for in Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfieid Municipal Code. Property owners had been given notice of their
right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the City Manager or his designee and to object to
the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public nuisance. The Assistant City
Manager has approved the assessments associated with the above mentioned properties.
The Council will need to confirm the approval of the Assistant City Manager of the costs incurred by
the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be made a lien
against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.

SUBJECT: Purchase of LED ribbon board for the Rabobank Arena
1. Resolution determining that the ribbon board for the Rabobank Arena cannot be
obtained through the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director
to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $1,210,000.
2. Agreement with Daktronics, Incorporated ($1,209,272.46) to furnish and install one
(1) ProAd Video Plus Display LED ribbon board with one (1) Venus 7000 rack-
mount control system.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The arena bowl within the Rabobank Arena is the highest revenue producing
advertising space offered to sponsors; however, the Arena is currently sold out of advertising space within
the arena bowl. In an effort to increase advertising space and thus advertising revenues, staff is proposing
the purchase and installation of an LED ribbon board. Installation of a ribbon board would provide an
opportunity to double the Arena's advertising revenues. Additionally, the ribbon board can be changed
quickly, providing layered graphics, animations, text and real time game information for fans, thereby
offering an interactive medium for fans that will keep them engaged when action stops on the field.
The Daktronics ribbon board will integrate with the Daktronics video and scoring systems purchased in
2005. Additionally, the control systems for the ribbon board and the video and scoring systems would be
fully integrated and utilize the same software. Maintenance and repair of both systems would be
accomplished through a single supplier.
Part of the savings from the refinancing of the Arena Bonds will be used for the purchase of the ribbon
board.

SUBJECT: Resolution in support of the Sexual Predator Punishment and Control A
as "Jessica's Law"
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Jessica's Law has qualified for the November, 2006 General Election ballot. As proposed, it will be the
most comprehensive sex offender punishment and control reform that will be the toughest sex offender
law in the nation. Key provisions of the law will:
· Ensure that all child molesters who molest children under the age of 14 are put into a prison with a
mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years or 25 years to life. Closes all loopholes in California's
"one-strike" laws.
· Eliminate all "good-time" credits for sex offenders, ensuring that these sex offenders are required
to serve their entire sentence and will not be released for good behavior.
· Electronically monitor convicted sex offenders for life, if they are ever released form prison, through
GSP tracking.
· Create a 2,000 foot "predator-free" zone around schools and parks to prevent sex offenders from
living near where children learn and play.
Jessica's Law is intended to equip both law enforcement and local governments with more tools to protect
local communities from sexual predators. Beyond the many penalty enhancements Jessica's Law adds,
and in addition to the creation of a 2,000 foot predator-free zone previously mentioned, it provides for local
control and allows cities to designate other predator-free zones where children may congregate, such as
children's museums or water parks.
Staff has confirmed that the California Police Chiefs' Association is in support of Jessica's Law.

SUBJECT: A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 003-06 Dispensing with Bidding Procedures Due to
Emergency Replacement of Engine/Generator at Wastewater Treatment Plant 2, not to
500,000 (Ward 1).
FROM:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director
March 10, 2006
DATE:
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of amendment to resolution (5 affirmative votes
required. )
BACKGROUND: Due to a catastrophic mechanical failure of one of the two engine/generators which
serve Plant No.2, the Plant staff can operate only one engine/generator and must purchase additional
electrical power from PG&E to compensate for the loss of the broken engine/generator.
On January 11, 2006, the staff presented to the City Council a recommendation that the City enter into a
contract with Caterpillar Company to purchase an engine/generator on a sole source basis. The staff
recommendation was based on the availability of the Caterpillar engine/generator, the cost of not replacing
the broken engine/generator quickly, the reliability of the Caterpillar engine/generator, and the slow
response for parts delivery by other engine/generator suppliers. Subsequently, the supplier of the
Caterpillar engine/generator informed the Plant staff that their proposed Caterpillar engine/generator
suitably sized for Plant 2 would not meet the new, stricter San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control Board's
(Air Board) emission requirements.
Staff has exhaustively evaluated all of the options for replacing the broken engine/generator. Based on
the criteria of price, delivery time, local references by operators of these engines, and manufacturer
guarantee in meeting strict emission requirements, staff has determined that Deutz Corporation
manufactures an engine/generator that will be able to meet all of the City of Bakersfield's requirements.
This engine has had good references from other operators in Califomia. The engine adjusts itself to
ensure compliance with local emission standards 24-hours per day, and the manufacturer will guarantee
performance to local air emission standards and will repair the engine if required to maintain this
performance. Total cost of the engine/generator, shipping, installation, spare parts, and startup I ssistance
is estimated to be $500,000.
Staff has amended the resolution removing the Caterpillar requirement for the engine/generator. The basis
of the resolution remains unchanged; however, the dollar amount required is reduced from $700,000 to
$500,000.

SUBJECT: Changes to Salary Schedule, Title Change and Revised Job Specifications
1. Amendment No. 1 to Resolution NO.078-06 Setting Salaries and Related Benefits for
Officers and Employees of the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and
Management Units and Adopting Salary Schedule and Related Benefits for Purchasing
Officer and Public Information Officer
2. Revised Job Specifications: Purchasing Officer and Office Administrator - Public
Relations
3. Title Change: Office Administrator - Public Relations to Public Information Officer
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the revised job specifications, title change and adoption ofthe resolution.
BACKGROUND:
At the request of the Finance Director, the job specification for Purchasing Officer has been updated to
reflect current responsibilities and minimum qualifications. The purchasing function has a much higher
level of responsibility since 1975 when the job specification was last revised.
Attracting and retaining an experience and knowledgeable employee requires a commensurate salary
grade. Understanding government regulations and compliance issues is more complex than it was thirty
years ago. Things such as formal bidding requirements, federal and state regulations and minority
business bidding guidelines require a person with skills and abilities that were not mandatory in the past.
Meeting this challenge requires both a formal educational background and supervisory skills.
It is recommended that the salary range for this position be elevated to that of Accounting Supervisor.
Raising the Purchasing Officer salary grade would both improve the City's ability to attract and retain
qualified people and address a matter of inequity that currently exists within the Finance Department. The
increased cost will be covered through salary savings.
The position of Office Administrator - Public Relations in the office of the City Manager was established in
2001 as the Council recognized a need to strengthen and improve the public face of the information
coming from the City Manager's area. Since that time, the position has evolved, growing in scope of
S:\ADMINRPT\PIO and PO.doc

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
duties and becoming much more strategic in direction. The position has become very responsive to
Council needs and requests and has allowed the City Manager to focus on other forms of community
outreach. Therefore, at this time, it is appropriate to have a title for the position which better reflects the
actual duties and effect a pay grade change to reflect the increase in outreach duties.
The revised job specifications will be presented by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their April 18,
2006 meeting.

The proposal includes the vacation of the portion of the alley between Kentucky Street and Lake Street
within the project site; this area is proposed to be utilized for vehicular access to on-site parking and for
pedestrian access and landscaping. A disposition and development agreement (DDA) between the City,

SUBJECT: Design Consultant Contract with WRA Engineering, Inc. (not to exceed $50,000) for design
engineering assistance in the updating of City standards, specifications and ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Subdivision Section of the Public Works Department is working on updating the
standards, policies and specifications with respect to development in the hillside areas. As a resource in
this endeavor, the Public Works Department had entered into an agreement with CRC Enterprises. Inc.,
an engineering firm with extensive experience in the development of hillside areas. Additionally, the
Planning Department is working on updating the Hillside Development ordinance, and needs to use CRC's
experience as well. However, recently the key engineer from CRC Enterprises relocated to an
engineering firm called WRA Engineering, Inc. This agreement will enable the City to continue to work
with the key personnel as we refine both the Hillside Development ordinance and the Public Works
standards. Sufficient funds are budgeted to cover this agreement.

SUBJECT: Agreement with M. Green & Company LLC ($45,605) for a full scope annual audit of the
2005-06 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2005, inquiries were sent to approximately 40 local CPA firms, with six firms expressing an
interest in the City Audit. Requests for Proposals were sent to the interested audit firms. Five of the firms
attended a mandatory pre-proposal conference. Two firms submitted proposals which were reviewed by
the Finance department. Both proposals were sent to the Budget and Finance Committee with a
recommendation to interview each firm. The Budget and Finance Committee interviewed both firms on
May 11, 2005. The Budget and Finance Committee recommended the selection of M. Green and
Company to perform the annual audit work for the 2004-05 fiscal year with the option of up to four (4) one
year extensions.
The Request for Proposal issued in March 2005 contemplated a five year commitment with the selected
firm, with the 2004-05 fiscal year being year 1 of 5. During the Budget and Finance Committee meeting
the Finance Director recommended a cost of living factor be built into the contract so that future year costs
do not exceed Consumer Price Index (Cpr) inflation measures, assuming no change in the scope of the
audit and assuming no significant change in the audit workload as a result of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) actions that might take place in the future. M. Green and Company was
agreeable to this additional contract language. The agreement referenced above is related to the audit for
year 2 of 5. The difference in cost from year 1 to year 2 (based on the January 2006 cpr index)
represents a 5.4% increase.

SUBJECT:
Water Service Agreement with Kern River Valley Cemetery District to purchase Kern River
water for irrigation of cemetery grounds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Water Board recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Kern River Valley Cemetery District facilities are located in the Wofford Heights area of the Kern River
Valley adjacent to the Kern River and Lake Isabella. Previously, the Districfs irrigation water supply was
derived from a nearby well that was located on US Army Corps of Engineers property. The well became
contaminated with extreme high levels of arsenic and the Corps disallowed the District to continue
pumping. The District has no rights to Kern River water or water from Isabella Reservoir. A temporary
arrangement with the City of Bakersfield has allowed the District to draw City water from Isabella
ReseNoir to maintain the grounds of the cemetery.
The District requests that the City enter into a longer term agreement for the sale of City Kern River water.
Such agreement will allow the District to seek funding and financing for a permanent diversion and
pumping facility. City staff has determined that due to the relatively minor amounts of water needed by the
District, the City has water available. This agreement shall commence upon the date of execution and
terminate on December 31, 2036. The agreement provides for an automatic renewal period of an
additional twenty (20) years, unless either party provides written termination. The District shall pay to City
the amount of fifty-five dollars ($55.00) per acre foot (subject to adjustment based on Producer Price
Index) and not to exceed fifty (50) acre-feet annually unless authorized by City.
The City of Bakersfield Water Board approved this agreement and recommended approval by the City
Council.

KCSC Case No. S-1500-CV-254827-SPC, in the amount of $110,000, with a total
contract amount not to exceed $150,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
This is a wrongful death lawsuit alleging a dangerous condition of public property, negligence,
products liability, and breach of warranty arising out of the motor vehicle collision which occurred on Alfred
Harrell Highway. The decedent was struck head-on by a 2001 Toyota MR2.
We started with a contract not to exceed $25,000, then amended it when Council approved the
$40,000 expenditure limit. Since this is a complex/serious matter, we expect to exceed $40,000.
Therefore, we are seeking additional funds. It should be noted that we are not seeking additional
appropriations of funds. In other words, the amount below was budgeted and approved in the 05-06 fiscal
year. We are requesting an increment of $110,000 to be approved in this case.
This Amendment NO.2 to Agreement No. CA05-013 would add $110,000 to the Not to Exceed
Limitation on compensation to result in a total Not to Exceed amount of $150,000.

SUBJECT: Rosedale Highway (State Route 58) Widening Project, between Gibson Street and Highway

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director
April 6, 2006
DATE:
1. Accept low bid to award contract to Griffith Company ($2,133,538.00) for
construction of the project.
2. Appropriate $2,000,000 additional traffic impact fees to the Capital Improvement
Budget within the Transportation Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
HISTORY
Several years ago, the City worked with the developers of Costco to widen Rosedale Highway to reduce
traffic congestion within this area. At the same time. the State was experiencing operational difficulties
within Rosedale Highway, from Gibson Street to Highway 99. The City and State entered into a
cooperative agreement where the City would act as the lead agency to perform the work required for the
widening of Rosedale Highway. The City received $400,000 from CalTrans for their portion of the
agreement. Costco completed their portion of the widening along the north side of Rosedale Highway
which included a third westbound lane as well as a left turn lane at Camino Del Rio Court. The City
proceeded with their responsibilities set by the cooperative agreement, which included project outlay, right
of way acquisition and environmental documentation. The City encountered delays in acquiring right of
way from the individual property owners which consumed a considerable amount time and funds for this
project. Once all documentation was approved by City and State, construction design plans were
prepared, and right of way had been acquired, three years had passed, and construction costs had
skyrocketed.
Staff recommends acceptance of low bid, award of contract, and approval of
appropriation.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The current project consists of adding an additional lane in each direction of travel for Rosedale Highway
between Gibson Street and Highway 99. With the roadway widening and median modification, Rosedale
Highway will have a total of six travel lanes. This project will also provide dual left turn lanes, an additional
turn lane from eastbound Rosedale Highway to southbound Highway 99, and signal modifications at
Gibson Street, Rosedale Plaza and Camino Del Rio Court. Trees will be removed on the south side of
Rosedale Highway along Rosedale Plaza to accommodate widening. Upon completion of the project.
additional trees will be planted as required per the Municipal Code; other landscaping will also be restored.
Lane closures on Rosedale Highway will only be allowed at night to minimize the impact on traffic.

CURRENT STATUS
This project went out to bid on February 22, 2006 and two bids were received. The total bid amount of
both of these bids exceeded our expectations. The lowest bid was substantially higher than the original
Engineer's Estimate. The Engineer's Estimate for this project was approximately $1,500,000.
The two bids received on February 22, 2006, were as follows:

$2,133,538.00

Public Works has reviewed other options to perform this widening project at a lower cost. One option
involved the use of smaller contracts for the traffic signals and asphalt concrete work, annual contractors
and City forces. Unfortunately, the City cannot afford to tie up the resources required for this project at
this time. Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and award the contract to Griffith Company.
Due to additional right of way cost and increases in the cost of construction, the project will need additional
funds. Staff also recommends approval of appropriation of funds.

SUBJECT: Assessment District and related Public Financing Authority (PFA) Bond Call
1. Appropriate $600,103 fund balances to the operating budgets within various
special assessment funds and PFA debt service funds to facilitate advance
redemption of Assessment and related PFA Bonds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the appropriations.
BACKGROUND:
During the year owners may pay the assessment lien balance on their property. The City, as Trustee,
is required to use these additional amounts to "call" outstanding special assessment bonds. The
principal and any premium amounts are forwarded to the City's paying agent to retire bonds in advance
of their normal maturity in accordance with the respective bond indentures. Some of the assessment
bonds were issued using the Bakersfield Public Financing Authority (PFA) as a conduit. A like amount
of PFA bonds are called when certain assessment bonds are called.
Various bond calls have been processed during the fiscal year that were not anticipated nor planned for
in the budget. This action aligns budgetary approvals with actions taken to maintain compliance with
staff fiduciary responsibilities.

SUBJECT: Miscellaneous Appropriations:
1. Appropriate $2,300,000 additional revenue to the Public Works Department's operating
budget within the Equipment Management Fund for increased fuel and materials costs
associated with maintaining fleet equipment.
2. Appropriate $370,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund Balance (Wastewater Treatment Plant
No.3) to the Public Works Department's operating budget for incraased operating costs
associated with emergency repairs and odor control.
3. Appropriate $20,000 General Aviation Fund Balance to the Public Works Department's
operating budget for professional consultant services and demolition of restaurant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriations.
BACKGROUND: This Administrative Report appropriates funds for several operating budget line
items. There is no General Fund impact associated with any of the appropriation requests. Following is a
justification for each item.
Subject 1 - Additional funds are needed to cover increases in several expenditure line items incurred for
the city's fleet equipment, such as fuel and equipment parts. Fuel prices have consistently escalated. The
unforeseen spike in fuel costs was not incorporated in the current year budget estimates. Additional funds
are needed in the fuel line item to cover this cost. In addition, there has been a large increase in steal
prices which impacts several items used in the repair and maintenance of the City's fleet. There is over
1,500 pieces of equipment maintained by Fleet. Therefore, any increases in steel prices would have a
significant impact on the Fleet Division's budget. This appropriation is offset by intemal rental revenue
charged to the various departments based upon actual costs incurred for the fleet equipment.
Subject 2 - This appropriation involves various operating line item accounts, such as in the overtime,
chemicals, and repair and maintenance accounts. This year thera have been several unforeseen
emergency repairs. Examples include the sewer lift stations at McCutchen/Gosford, Hageman/Allen,
Bank/Oakdale, and Fairfax. There was a sewer line failure at Mount Vemon/Brundage. In addition, staff
is projecting to be over-expended in the chemicals account due to having to inject more chemicals in the
sewer system to control odor problems.
Subject 3 - This appropriation request is to increase funding for the Bakersfield Municipal Airport.
Unanticipated costs were incurred to develop an estimate for construction of a new airport and to obtain
an appraisal for the property. In addition, one-time costs were incurred in the current year for demolition of
the restaurant damaged by fire some time ago.

SUBJECT: Hearing to consider a resolution establishing industrial and commercial sewer
service user surcharges for Fiscal Year 2006-07 (Wards 1-7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Sewer user charges and fees are established annually pursuant to Section
14.12.380 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code to cover the cost of operation and maintenance for
the sewer treatment plants and for the existing sewer collection system. Commercial and
industrial users represent manufacturing and most business entities. An annual flat rate sewer
fee is collected with property taxes by the Kem County Tax Collector pursuant to the Bakersfield
Municipal Code. In addition, a monthly surcharge is assessed if their flow and sewer strength
exceed the baseline amount. City staff is recommending approximately an 8% increase in the
surcharge schedule for commercial and industrial sewer service users for Fiscal Year 2006-07. If
approved, the surcharge rate for industrial and commercial users will increase according to the
following schedule.
Surcharae Schedule - Commercial and Industrial
This schedule shall apply to the commercial and industrial users with flow, biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS) greater than the flat rate limits.
The surcharge for the excesses shall be as follows:
Flow
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
$985.00/million gallons/year.
$72.00/1000 pound.
$76.00/1000 pound.
Note - Flow will be estimated based on water consumpüon records during the three (3)
winter months from December to February. This is to adjust for water used for
irrigation that will not flow into the sewer system.

SUBJECT: Budget and Finance Committee Majority Report 1-06 and Minority Report 1-06 regarding
FY 06/07 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership
(HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Annual Spending Plan. (ALL WARDS)
RECOMMENDATION:
The Budget and Finance Committee recommends acceptance of the reports, Council determination and
authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary HUD documents.
BACKGROUND:
The Budget and Finance Committee met on March 8, 2006 to review and consider the Annual HUD Action
Plan for fiscal year 2006-2007. The proposed 2006/2007 Annual Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan
2010 represents the activities for the upcoming Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME
Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). The total funds
available for FY 06/07 is $5,669,124 which represents $3,541,309 of CDBG funds, $1,983,770 of HOME
funds, and $144,045 of ESG funds.
On March 15, 2006, a public notice was published concerning the availability of the draft annual action
plan for a HUD required 30-day citizen review and comment period. As part of the 30-day citizen review
and comment process, a public meeting was held on April 4, 2006. No public comments were received on
the proposed use of the funds for FY 06/07.
Under HUD regulations, the Annual Action Plan outlines the activities to be undertaken by the City to
address community development and housing needs identified in the five-year Consolidated Plan adopted
by City Council in May 2005.
The approved Action Plan must be submitted to HUD by May 15, 2006. HUD will then have 45 days to
review the Action Plan for compliance with federal regulations. The HUD funds will be released to the City
July 1, 2006. A copy of the public notice detailing the proposed funding, by project/program is attached.
Staff presented the proposed Action Plan to the Budget and Finance Committee for consideration in
addition to a recent request from Bethany Services for $25,000 to be used toward facility improvements.
After Committee discussion of the plan a majority and minority report resulted in relationship to the request
for one time funding in the amount of $25,000 for Bethany Services.

SUBJECT: Mill Creek Linear Park (Ward 2):
1. Design Consultant Contract ($347,025) with Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey, Inc.
(RHAA) for Preliminary Design of the Mill Creek Linear Park Project.
2. Appropriate $100,000 Old Town Kern Redevelopment Fund balance to the Capital
Improvement Budget within the Old Town Kern Operating Fund.
3. Appropriate $150,000 Domestic Water Retained Eamings to the Capital Improvement
Budget within the Domestic Water Fund.
4. Appropriate and transfer $100,000 additional Vehicle License Fee revenues from the
General Fund to the Capital Improvement Budget within the Capital Outlay Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement, appropriations and transfer.
BACKGROUND: A conceptual plan for a 1.5 mile linear park along the Kern Island Canal in downtown
Bakersfield, known as the Mill Creek Project, was approved by the City Council in December 2003.
Community recommendations for such improvements were generated during the Bakersfield 2020
process. Those ideas were further refined in City sponsored Design Charrettes, where community
members recommended extending park improvements along the Kern Island Canal. The Mill Creek Linear
Park Project would transform a 1.5 mile portion of the Kern Island Canal, from Golden State Avenue to
California Avenue, into a "natural" creek with a walking path, public art, street furniture, lighting, decorative
fencing, landscaping, creation of a pond in Central Park, and a new pedestrian plaza at 17th Street and "R"
Street intersection.
In November 2005, staff began the Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) process to select a design firm
to design the project and to prepare construction documents for the Mill Creek Project. A Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) was sent out to interested firms. On December 22, 2005, the City received twelve
(12) responses. The selection committee to review the responses of the firms was comprised of staff from
the following City Departments; Economic and Community Development, Planning, Recreation and Parks,
Water Resources, and Public Works. The selection committee determined that six (6) firms should be
invited to interview with the Committee. The interview consists of making a presentation on performing the
work of the project and also submitting a fee proposal to do the work. The firms invited to the interview
were: RRM Design Group; SWA Group; Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey; Gruen Associates; Wallace
Roberts & Todd; and Pacific Coast Land Design.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The interviews of the six firms were conducted on February 1, 2006. The Selection Committee rated and
ranked each of the six firms. The Selection Committee then also reviewed the cost proposals that were
submitted by the firms. The Selection Committee found the firm of Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey
(RHAA) to have the combination of high qualifications and reasonable fee proposal which is favorable to
the City. The RHAA team also projects more than 60% of the fee will go to team members that are based
in the City of Bakersfield. Therefore, the Selection Committee recommends that the City enter into a
contract with RHAA. This agreement provides for Preliminary Design and detailed Project Cost Estimate,
with a Master Plan for fully implementing the Project over time as full funding becomes available.

17. NEW BUSINESS continued
Item 17.a continued
They will be paid for through a self-taxing method
much like a maintenance district. PBIDs are
established by those who pay, governed by those who
pay, implemented by those who pay and benefited from
by those who pay. The district will improve the
overall viability of the downtown business district.
More than one thousand PBIDs exist in North America
with more than seventy in California. Downtowns
including Visalia, Stockton, Long Beach and
Sacramento have all benefited from a PBID. The
petition for City Council asks for the City to support the
planned PBID. As a key property owner in downtown
the City will participate in the voluntary assessment
along with all of the property owners of the PBID
boundary. I, Councilmember Benham, encourage the
City Council to support this focused effort to
strengthen and revitalize downtown Bakersfield and
authorize the Mayor to sign the petition. "
