CLOSED SESSION
There will be a conference with legal counsel regarding one case of existing litigation and one case of
potential litigation.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Ordinances
Item 12c. First ReadinQ of an Ordinance AmendinQ the Municipal Code RelatinQ to the Fee for Park
Development and Improvement. This revision would allow the Fee for Park Development and
Improvement to be automatically adjusted by the Construction Cost Index (CCI). This ordinance change
will change how tracts now vest under the Fee for Park Development and Improvement. New tracts will
vest under the park development fee in effect when the tentative map application is deemed complete,
as adjusted by the CCI.
Item 12e. First ReadinQ of an Ordinance ApprovinQ a NeQative Declaration and AmendinQ the Municipal
Code bv ChanQinQ the ZoninQ from an R-2 (Limited Multiple Familv DwellinQ) Zone to a P.U.D. (Planned
Unit Development) Zone on 30.63 Acres Generallv Located on the Southwest Corner of MinQ Ave and
Gosford Road. Mcintosh & Associates, representing Castle & Cooke California, Inc., proposes this
action to allow innovative residential design of 217 homes. On May 18,2006, the Planning Commission
held a public hearing when two residents from surrounding neighborhoods voiced concerns about
increased traffic in the Ming and Gosford intersection. The Commissioners continued the public hearing
until June 1, 2006 to allow Public Works time to respond to these concerns.
At the June 1, 2006 meeting, the same two residents spoke again, as did Roger Mcintosh on behalf of
the applicant. Mr. Mcintosh explained that a synchronization study had been performed which showed
that the signal would not impede traffic. Based on that and a report by Public Works, the Planning
Commission voted to recommend approval of the zone change and approval of the negative declaration
to the City Council. The proposed zone change is compatible with the existing land uses.
Resolutions
Item 12h. Resolution in Opposition to the Oil Tax Initiative. a Statewide Ballot Proposal also known as
the Clean Alternative EnerQv Act. Organizers of an Oil Severance Tax Initiative hope to have it placed
on the November 2006 ballot. Council member Harold Hansen requests that this item be placed on the
City Council agenda for consideration.
Those opposed to the initiative claim it produces three major negative impacts: 1) Higher prices at the
gas pump and greater dependence upon foreign oil, 2) A new state bureaucracy with no accountability to
taxpayers, and 3) Cuts in existing revenues to schools, law enforcement, and local governments. They
also claim it will have significant impacts upon Kern County oil production and related businesses. The
proposal would produce an estimated $4 billion in severance taxes. It also exempts itself from
Proposition 98 requirements, which sets a dangerous precedent that could be used to erode education
funding protections in the future.
Agenda Highlights

Kern County community groups opposed to the tax include: Kern County Board of Supervisors, Kern
County Taxpayers Association, Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce, Kern County Farm Bureau,
Kern County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Kern Law Enforcement Association.
Item 12;. Resolution Reguesting the State Legislature to Amend State Laws Pertaining to Safe Zones.
In 1993, the State legislature enacted the Street Terrorism Enforcement and prevention (STEP) Act,
which makes it a crime to participate, promote, further, or assist in any criminal conduct related to street
gangs. Further, the Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act was enacted that provides that
any criminal street gang who willfully promotes, furthers, assists, or benefits from any felonious criminal
conduct by members of that gang is guilty of conspiracy to commit that felony."
The STEP Act adds enhancements for a set of enumerated crimes. Specifically, the Penal Code adds a
sentence enhancement for committing a gang-related crime within 1,000 feet of any school while minors
are present. City parks are also an area where minors are often present and should be afforded the
same protection as schools. The Safe Neighborhoods and Community Relations Committee
recommends that Council adopt this Resolution amending the Penal Code to add "state, county and local
parks" as areas which will result in sentence enhancements if gang-related crimes are committed there.
Aareements
Item 12ft. Aareement with Kern Countv to Reimburse Direct Labor Cost Incurred Related to the
DeveloDment of Proiects for the Thomas Roads ImDrovement Proaram (TRIP) on Countv Land. TRIP

payment of that billing by the State.

Hosking Avenue. Currently, Hosking Avenue crosses State Route 99 with an overpass having no
access to State Route 99. The proposed improvements require a Cooperative Agreement with Cal
Trans. The City will be the lead agency for the project authorization, environmental documentation,
design and construction of the proposed interchange. The City is required to fund 100% of the costs and
Cal Trans will provide project oversight. This agreement requires no monetary exchange between the
City and Cal Trans.
Item 1200. Desian Consultant Aareement with Dokken Enaineerina for Phase 1 of the Westside
Parkwav Proiect (Mohawk Street from Rosedale Highwav to Truxtun Avenue) in the amount of
$4.413.674. Phase 1 of the Project includes the construction of Mohawk Street from Rosedale Highway
to Truxtun Avenue and includes bridges over the Kern River, Cross Valley Canal, the interchange with
the future Westside Parkway, and the grade separation with the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe
Railroad. Six firms responded to the Request for Qualifications. Based on a review of the submittals,
the selection committee invited three of the firms to interview. Based upon both criteria, the selection
committee concluded that Dokken Engineering was the most qualified firm to provide design services for
Phase 1 of this project. In accordance with federal procurement procedures for these types of services,
after Dokken Engineering was selected as the most qualified firm, their cost for providing these services
was then negotiated. This agreement requires that Dokken deliver the completed plans to bid the project
by the summer of 2007, at which time it is planned to advertise the project for construction bids.

Road (State Route 184). North of Breckenridae Road. Bakers Hill, LLC is proposing the development of
a master planned community consisting of approximately 2,850 residential units. They will pay all costs

$150,000 for consulting services and $45,000 to reimburse the City for its costs in managing the project.
Item 12yy. Amendment NO.1 to Aareement No. 05-262 with Jim Alfter Cement Contractor for the

parties.
Bids
Item 12bbb. Award Contract to Central Vallev Truck Center for Two Additional Automated Side
Loaders in the amount of $456,880.72. The City of Fresno awarded a bid to Central Valley Truck Center,
Fresno. The bid has provisions for other governmental agencies to piggyback on the bid, and the
supplier has agreed to extend the bid price for the side loaders to the City of Bakersfield. This allows the
City to obtain the necessary equipment, and save staff time and effort required if this item were to be bid.

(STPL) funds with the local match of 11.47% coming from the Gas Tax Fund. Additional appropriations
are needed to fully fund this project. Three acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to
Griffith Company.
Miscellaneous
Item 12000. 2006 Leaislative Platform. Current legislative concerns are captured in the City's
Legislative Platform, which identifies the City's legislative priorities for the year. The Legislative and
Litigation Committee met on June 20, 2006 and added two paragraphs regarding: 1) efforts to ensure a
clean, high-quality water supply; and 2) prevent local water from leaving Kern County. The Legislative
and Litigation Committee recommends approval of the proposed 2006 Legislative Platform.
HEARINGS
Item 14a. Street Cut Workmanship and Performance Fee. All payment warranty fees received are
expended solely for the purpose of maintaining the workmanship and performance of City streets. The
Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee was last amended October 16, 2002. At that time, this
fee was adjusted by the Construction Cost Index with the increase phased in over a three-year period.
Since 2002, the cost of street resurfacing projects has increased dramatically - both from the increase in
material and labor prices, and in the additional regulations that have to be met, such as those for Clean
Water Act compliance. The proposed fee schedule increases the base fee from $9.60 per lane-foot to
$17.50 per lane-foot (this is the cost per foot for the City to pave a 12' wide lane).
The proposed amendment to the ordinance will require that the Street Cut Workmanship and
Performance Warranty Fee be adjusted annually by the ENR Annual Construction Cost Index. The
proposed ordinance change also allows this fee to be re-evaluated to account for any item that affects
the fee, such as new federal, state or local regulations. If approved, the adjusted fee would become
effective on July 24, 2006. The Street Cut Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee is not a
development fee.
Item 14b. Public Hearina to Consider an Appeal bv Lerov Pettv to the Decision of the Buildina Director
Concernina Construction of a CarDort at 3309 Sprina View Street. The applicant did not obtain the
required building permit or meet setback requirements. Additionally, the carport is built on the property
line, which creates a fire hazard. The applicant disputes these issues. Staff recommends upholding the
decision by the Building Director to comply with the Board of Zoning's requirements within 10 days, or
remove the carport.

SUBJECT: First reading of an ordinance approving a Negative Declaration and amendi g Section
17.06.020 (Zone Map No. 123-08) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by
changing the zoning from an R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling) zone to a P.U.D.
(Planned Unit Development) zone on 30.63 acres generally located on the southwest
corner of Ming Ave and Gosford Road. (Applicant: Mcintosh & Associates representing
Castle & Cooke California, Inc) (File No. 06-0332). (Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On May 18, 2006, the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on this zone change
request and continued the request to the June 1, 2006. At the June 1, 2006 meeting, the Planning
Commission recommended adoption of the zone change and approval of the negative declaration by the
City Council. The zone change request consists of changing the zoning from R-2 (Limited Multiple Family
Dwelling zone to a P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development) zone on 30.63 acres generally located on the
southwest corner of Ming Road and Gosford Avenue. The purpose of the zone change is to allow
innovative residential design of 217 homes with specific standards that meet the requirements of public
health, safety and welfare.
At the May 18, 2006 meeting, two residents from surrounding neighborhoods and a representative of the
applicant spoke at the public hearing. 80th residents voiced concerns about increased traffic in the Ming
and Gosford intersection. Roger Mcintosh from Mcintosh and Associates, the applicant, described the
amenities of the P.U.D. The Commissioners continued the public hearing until June1, 2006 to allow Public
Works time to respond to the Commissioners' inquiries regarding traffic concerns.
At the June 1, 2006 meeting, the same two residents from the May 18, 2006 meeting spoke in the public
hearing, as did Roger Mcintosh. The residents continued to voice traffic concerns. Mr. Mcintosh informed
the Commissioners that Mcintosh & Associates had a synchronization study for a proposed traffic signal at
the Gosford entrance, and that it had shown that the signal would not impede traffic. However, Public
Works was concerned about adding another signal so close to the intersection of Ming and Gosford. The

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Commissioners discussed the traffic impacts from the project, based on a memo from the Public Work's
traffic engineer. The Commissioners were satisfied with the analysis in the memo that the level of service
of the Ming and Gosford intersection would remain a Level of Service "C", that the traffic signal at the
entrance to the project on Gosford Road would impede flow and that the original zoning had the potential
of higher density and thus more traffic. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the
zone change and approval of the negative declaration to the City Council.
The general vicinity has undergone extensive urbanization and will allow vacant land within the
urbanization to be used for single family residential housing. The proposed zone change is compatible
with the existing land uses.
Staff conducted an initial study that incorporated an air quality impact study and a biota study prepared by
professional consultants. Mitigation measures for these impacts have been included in the project to
reduce all impacts to less than significant. These mitigation measures are shown in attached Exhibit "1,"
conditions of approval. Staff recommends adoption of the Negative Declaration and first reading of the
ordinance.

condominium development, consisting of 78 attached two-story units, a total of 112 garage and surface
parking spaces, clubhouse, pool and spa on the 5-acre project site.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this zone change and recommended approval to
the City Council on May 18, 2006. Terry Russell, a neighboring property owner, spoke against the project
at the Planning Commission hearing due to balcony overlooks into the backyards of single-family
residences to the north and east. The applicant agreed to all conditions and mitigation for the project.
There were no agencies in opposition to the request.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on June 21, 2006.
This is the pre-zoning action for McAllister Ranch.
On May 18, 2006, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of this
zone change.
The proposed project is a request to change existing City zoning from A-20-A (Agriculture-20 Acre
Minimum Lot Size) to a variety of City zoning designations which are comparable to previously
approved County zoning within the McAllister Ranch development to accommodate the development of
the 2,080 acre McAllister Ranch Master-Planned community. The site is currently being developed in
the County.
The matter was on the consent agenda at the Planning Commission meeting. No one asked to have
the item removed from the consent agenda, and no one spoke in opposition to the project.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
A Specific Plan and a Project EIR for the McAllister Ranch were approved in 1993 by Kern County.
This zone change implements previously approved Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan designations
as identified in the McAllister Ranch Specific Plan. The requested zone change will allow the City to
utilize City zoning designations, rather than the previously-approved County zoning designations, for
the pre-zoning designations on the annexation request to LAFCO.
Staff has reviewed the proposed project and made the determination that the project qualifies as a
special situation and is exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents
pursuant to Sections 15162, 15182 and 15183 of the State CEQA Guidelines and a Notice of
Exemption has been prepared.

SUBJECT: Resolution in Opposition to the Oil Tax Initiative, a Statewide Ballot Prop
the Clean Alternative Energy Act
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Organizers of an Oil Severance Tax Initiative hope to have it placed on the November 2006 ballot. The
initiative is actually named "Clean Alternative Energy Act."
Those opposed to the tax initiative claim it produces three major negative impacts: 1) Higher prices at the
gas pump and greater dependence upon foreign oil, 2) A new state bureaucracy with no accountability to
taxpayers, and 3) Cuts in existing revenues to schools, law enforcement, and local governments. They
also claim it will have significant impacts upon Kern County oil production and related businesses.
Kern County community groups opposed to the tax include: Kern County Board of Supervisors, Kem
County Taxpayers Association, Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce, Kern County Farm Bureau,
Kern County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Kern Law Enforcement Association.
The resolution would produce an estimated $4 billion in severance taxes. It also exempts itself from
Proposition 98 requirements, which sets a dangerous precedent that could be used to erode education
funding protections in the future.
Attached is a written analysis of the impacts of the initiative by Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill and
Director of Finance Michael Genest
Councilmember Harold Hansen requests that this item be placed on the City Council agenda for
consideration. Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

SUBJECT: A Resolution Requesting the State Legislature to Amend State Laws Pertaini
Zones.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Safe Neighborhoods and Community Relations Committee recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
There is no question that gang activity has increased statewide. In an effort to combat this
epidemic, the state legislature enacted the Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention (STEP) Act in
1993. The STEP Act makes it a crime for any person to participate in any criminal street gang and to
willfully promote, further, or assist in any felonious criminal conduct by members of that gang. The STEP
Act goes on further to add enhancements for a set of enumerated crimes. Specifically, Penal Code
Section 186.22 adds a sentence enhancement for committing a gang-related crime within 1,000 feet of
any school (including vocational) while minors are present or during times when minors are using the
facility.
Unfortunately, the involvement of juveniles in street gangs has also increased. In response to this
increase, the legislature enacted the Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act. This act provided
that "any criminal street gang who willfully promotes, furthers, assists, or benefits from any felonious
criminal conduct by members of that gang is guilty of conspiracy to commit that felony."
The creation of a safe zone around schools in the STEP Act and the enactment of the Gang
Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act both demonstrate the legislature's intent to protect innocent
minors and adult citizens from gang-related violence. However, City's parks are also an area where
minors are often present and parks should be afforded the same protection as schools.
The legislature has made it clear through the STEP Act and the Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime
Prevention Act of 1998 that it is concerned with gang-related crime and its effect on juveniles. When the .
Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act of 1998 was enacted, the legislature found that,
"Califomians deserve to live without fear of violent crime and to enjoy safe neighborhoods, parks, and
schools." (Emphasis added.) The legislature's intent was that Californians feel safe when they are using
public parks (state, county or local).

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Bakersfield desires to do everything within its power to ensure the safety of its citizens and
especially at parks where families often gather for peaceful enjoyment. This resolution urges the
legislature to amend Penal Code Section 186.22 by adding ·state, county and local parks' as areas which
will result in sentence enhancements if gang-related crimes are committed there.
The Safe Neighborhoods and Community Relations Committee recommends that City Council
adopt the attached Resolution which supports the introduction of such legislation.

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 Bakersfield 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: Delinquent Sewer User Charges:
1. Resolution providing for the establishment of separate special assessment funds for
Wastewater Treatment Plants 2 and 3 to be added to the property tax roll for the
collection of delinquent sewer charges.
2. Resolution authorizing the Kern County Tax Collector to collect said charges.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolutions.
BACKGROUND: Each year the City Council transfers the function of collecting the charges for sewer
service to the Kern County Tax Collector by resolution. Currently, the charges placed on the property tax
roll only cover services in existence at the time the tax roll is prepared.
Charges for sewer service that start after the tax roll is prepared have been billed on a prorated basis
through the City's accounts receivable billing system by the Finance Department. When an account is 90
days past due, a demand letter is issued to the property owner who established the account. If the
demand letter is returned without a forwarding address or if the property is under foreclosure, the amount
billed has historically been written off as uncollectible.
By establishing these new funds and transferring the collection to the Kern County Tax Collector, the City
would be able to collect those delinquent sewer charges that would, otherwise, need to be written off. In
addition, staff would no longer have to monitor/investigate these delinquent accounts.

SUBJECT: Delinquent Refuse User Charges:
1. Resolution providing for the establishment of a separate special assessment fund for
Solid Waste to be added to the property tax roll for the collection of delinquent prorated
refuse charges for new services previously billed by the City of Bakersfield.
2. Resolution authorizing the Kern County Tax Collector to collect said charges.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolutions.
BACKGROUND: Through resolution, the City Council transfers the collection of annual residential
refuse service fees to the Kern County Tax Collector each year. New homes added throughout each year
are added to the County collection list only at the beginning of a new tax year each July. For service in the
months leading up to the new tax year, new homes receive a prorated bill directly from the City.
Unfortunately, some of these bills remain unpaid and delinquent. Therefore, it becomes necessary to
collect these delinquent bills through a special assessment fund on the County's property tax bill. Out of
approximately $350,000 billed for prorated services for new homes starting throughout the year,
approximately $35,000 remains delinquent and will be collected through this resolution.

Changes to Salary Schedule, Tille Change and Revised Job Specifications '
July 10, 2006
SUBJECT:
1. Amendment NO.2 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 Special
Events Manager, Rabobank Arena
2. Revised Job Specifications: Director of Booking and Events
3. Tille Change: Director of Booking and Events to Special Events Manager, Rabobank
Arena
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the revised job specification, tille change and adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
At the request of the General Manager of the Rabobank Arena, the job specification for Director of
Booking and Special Events has been updated to reflect current responsibilities and minimum
qualifications. This position has a much higher level of responsibility since 1998 when the job specification
was last revised.
Attracting and retaining an experienced and knowledgeable employee requires a commensurate salary
grade. This position requires intimate knowledge of the entertainment industry and the complexities of
attracting and booking first class events.
It is recommended that the salary range for this position be elevated to that of Special Events Manager,
which is a comparable position in the department of Recreation and Parks.
The revised job specification will be presented by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their July 18,
2006 meeting.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
TRIP activities include projects in which the City of Bakersfield (lead agency) will be assisted by the
County of Kern in their development, design, and construction (specifically relating to the Beltway
projects). The staff costs incurred by the County for these projects can and should be charged to these
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds. The County will therefore submit billings for direct time
charged to these projects, including sufficient documentation to support the amount billed. These costs
will then be included with the subsequent billings to California Department of Transportation (CaITrans)
with payment made to the County only after the approval and payment of that billing by the State.

SUBJECT: Agreement with William Avery & Associates, Not To Exceed $150,000 for
Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Human Resources Division has more than 130 vacant positions to fill at this time. The city
departments have a tremendous need for these positions to be filled in a timely fashion to meet the City's
growing service demands. Although the Human Resources Division has recently received three new
positions, two of them are still unfilled and there are two brand new employees who are being oriented.
Therefore, the services of an executive search firm were sought, to assist in filling some of the more
difficult to fill vacancies and to decrease the amount of time departments would have to wait for their
positions to be filled. Some of the recruitments we intend to refer out are:
· Director of Environmental Services (1)
· Human Resources Analyst 1/11 (1)
· GIS Analyst (1)
· Network Systems Analyst (4)
· Programmer Analyst (1)
· Parks Superintendent (1)
· Assistant Planner (1 )
· Associate Planner (4)
By working with just one search firm and being able to give them approximately 10 positions to fill, we
were able to negotiate a volume discount. Therefore, we are recommending the approval of a contract
with William Avery & Associates for an amount not to exceed $150,000 for executive search services.
This firm has provided us with search services in the past and we have been pleased with their work. We
expect these recruitments to be completed within 6 to 9 months. There is no budgetary impact because
departments will be allocated their portion of cost for these services. Because many positions are vacant,
salary savings are available for this purpose.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Greater Bakersfield Convention and Visitors' Bureau (CVB), is a non-profit corporation that exists for
the purposes of inviting, attracting, and welcoming visitors and providing services incidental to conventions
and visitor care. The CVB has received the majority of its funding (over 90%) through a contractual
arrangement with the City, as the City wishes to publicize the benefits and advantages of holding
conventions in Bakersfield at the Rabobank Arena, Theater, and Convention Center, as well as other local
venues. In addition, the CVB's efforts to attract visitors to Bakersfield are expected to generate hotel room
revenue. Earlier this year, the CVB, in partnership with SMG, secured the return of the CIF State High
School Wrestling Championships for 2007 through 2009. The CVB has also been historically successful
in attracting other sporting events and various church groups to Bakersfield.
The proposed agreement between the City and the CVB requires the City to pay the CVB 11% of the
City's total Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue for the fiscal year that services are received.
Payments will be made in 12 equal monthly installments during the fiscal year based on the Transient
Occupancy Tax budgeted by the City, with reconciliation in September following the end of each fiscal
year. There are no changes to the financial terms of the proposed agreement from the previous
agreement.
The proposed agreement includes the following revisions:
. The City's membership on the Board of Directors is to include the appointment of the City Finance
Director, in addition to the City Manager or Designee and the City's representative of the
Rabobank Arena, Theater and Convention Center.
. The Executive Board of the CVB is to. conduct Quarterly Meetings with the City Manager, at which
time the required quarterly activity reports shall be reviewed.

than five (5) years.
· The CVB will deliver a copy of the annual financial audit to the City by December 31" of each year.
(The previous agreement did not specify a due date.)

SUBJECT: Calloway Canal Box Culvert and Relocation of the Friant Kern Canal
1. Reimbursement Agreement with Lennar Homes ($93,000) to construct improvements
on Olive Drive and Calloway Drive.
2. Reimbursement Agreement with McMillin Homes ($27,418) for construction costs of
block walls and gates near the intersection of Olive Drive and Calloway Drive.
3. Appropriate $340,000 Transportation Development Fund balance to the Capital
Improvement Budget to fund Reimbursement Agreements and other project costs.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of reimbursement agreements and
appropriation.
BACKGROUND: This Administrative Report appropriates funds for the completion of the Relocation of
the Friant Kern Canal and the Calloway Canal Box Culvert project located at the intersection of Olive Drive
and Calloway Drive. Although the main construction portion of these projects has been completed, a few
items remain pending.
The pending items include two separate Reimbursement Agreements. The City requested that the
developers of areas adjacent to the project site on Calloway Drive construct the City's portion of street
improvements adjacent to the project site. As part of the development requirements for Lennar Homes'
Tract Map 6077 and McMillin Homes' Tract Map 6019, these developers were responsible for providing
street improvements including new pavement, concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk, median islands and block
wall. In addition, these developers agreed to construct some or all of these improvements beyond their
tract limits to include the frontage of the adjacent City canal projects. By combining both the developers'
street improvements with the City's obligations for street improvements along Calloway Drive, disruption to
traffic would be minimized. The City would then reimburse the developers for the City's share of project
costs once the improvements were completed.
In addition, although the main objectives for both the Calloway Canal Box Culvert and Relocation of the
Friant Kern Canal Projects have been reached, there are other miscellaneous items besides the
reimbursement agreements that are still pending. The requested appropriation is needed for the
reimbursement agreements, the land exchange with the United States Bureau of Reclamation, site
grading, fence construction, and driveway construction for both canals.

environmental review requirement by HUD for this project was satisfied with a Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI).

SUBJECT: Agreement with Quad Knoff, Inc. to sublease office space at 900 Truxtun Av
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
On March 6, 2002, the City of Bakersfield entered into Agreement No. 02·061 to lease administrative
office space at 900 Truxtun Avenue for the Recreation & Parks and the Economic & Community
Development Departments. The City currently leases approximately 16,712 square feet of the 34,290
square foot building. This represents approximately one half of the first floor and the entire second floor.
Now that the City Council has approved several new positions for Recreation and Parks it is necessary to
lease additional office space. Fortunately, one of the third floor tenants, Quad Knoff, is consolidating
multiple offices into a one office at Mohawk and California Avenue and will be vacating the two suites they
are leasing. This means they are looking to sublease their current office space for the balance of the term
of their lease. The City has determined that one of their two suites would be suitable for our purposes.
Suite 320 consists of approximately 2,776 square feet and could accommodate 10-15 people depending
on how the space is configured. The salient terms of the sublease are: initial rent will be $1.60 square
foot plus utilities and janitorial; term of seventeen months to coincide with 02-061; and an option to extend
for an additional nineteen months, which is when their lease expires.

SUBJECT: Amendment NO.1 to Agreement No. 03-203 with California Water Service ompa y to include
a treated water filtration plant in the Joint Use of Water Facilities at City of Bakersfield Station
L208, Located at the Corner of Coffee and Norris Roads. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff and Water Board recommend approval.
BACKGROUND: The City and California Water Service Company (Cal Water) both need to expand the
water production capability of their respective service areas in the northwest by replacing production water
from water wells in the vicinity that have been idled due to water quality concerns. It has been determined that
a shared water filtration and storage plant located on the southwest corner of Coffee and Norris Roads would
economically replace this lost production and meet the areas current growth demands. Because the City's
Domestic Water System currently relies solely on groundwater wells as its source of supply, supplementing the
current system with a firm surface water treatment plant delivery will also increase the diversity and efficiency
of the system. Wells can be shut off during non-peak demand periods resulting in higher groundwater pumping
elevations which reduce energy costs. The cost to drill new wells is constantly increasing due to drilling costs,
more stringent water quality requirements, groundwater quality problems and property values.
The filtration plant shall have the capability of producing 10.4 million gallons of water per day of which the City
will receive up to 4.0 million gallons per day. Cal Water shall be solely responsible for the design, financing,
construction, completion and operation of the filtration plant and station appurtenances related to the plant.
The City will make available to Cal Water a Kern River water supply of up to 10,000 acre-feet per year for the
plant.
The purchase price of finished water from the filtration plant will be at a cost to the City of an estimated amount
of $315.00 dollars per acre-foot. The final price will be determined after project costs are accounted and
accepted by City. Cal Water will purchase from City, raw Kern River water for the plant at the current rate of
$73.48. This Kern River rate is adjusted annually. The approximate net cost to the City will be $241.52 per
acre-foot, which is equivalent to the current cost of produced groundwater.
The City Water Board reviewed this agreement and voted unanimously to approve and recommend City
Council approval.

Transportation (Caltrans) to transfer maintenance and operation of new signal at Ming
Avenue and State Route 99 Southbound On-ramp from Caltrans to the City of Bakersfield
(Ward 6).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment.
BACKGROUND: Agreement No. 05-122 was approved by Council on March 30, 2005, and called for the
traffic signal maintenance and operation of the new signal at Ming Avenue and State Route 99
Southbound On-ramp to be performed by Caltrans. It was later discovered that this portion of Agreement
05-122 was in error. It was intended from this project's beginning that the new signal would be operated
and maintained by the City of Bakersfield. By allowing the City of Bakersfield to take over signal
maintenance and operation, the City can specify the type of signal hardware and software to be used and
allow this new signal to be compatible with the existing signal coordination timing already in place along
that stretch of Ming Avenue.
There is no change in monetary terms in this amendment.

SUBJECT: Amendment NO.5 to Agreement No. 97-283 with SunGard HTE to p vid
programming services to improve synchronization of the HTE Land File with
Assessor's data in the amount of $145,900.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently uses software applications from SunGard HTE for tracking information about parcels in
the City. This system is used by various departments in Public Works, Development Services, and
Finance. The HTE system uses a land file, which contains data from the Kern County Assessor's office
which is updated monthly. Some of the address information in the file is incorrect and not suitable for the
City's needs, and the errors have introduced difficulties in using the data and the systems. In particular,
there are many addresses entered multiple times into the database. The "unclean" database hampers our
ability to property track customer activity, monitor equipment inventory, and property service our
customers.
If approved, this amendment would contract with SunGard HTE to correct the information in the file,
modify the update program to prevent future inaccuracies, and make it available for use by the Public
Works Solid Waste Division to improve billing and customer service. Under the agreement, SunGard HTE
would also load several non-HTE data bases into the Customer Service/Utility Billing system. We
anticipate the project will take approximately five months to complete.
The cost of this project will be allocated to the Refuse Fund ($74,525) and Development Services Fund
($62,525). Both departments anticipated this expenditure and have budgeted for it in FY 06-07.

SUBJECT: Rejection of bid for Storm Drain Improvements Tract 5130 Project (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends rejection of bid.
BACKGROUND: Tract 5130, located north of Hageman Road from Coffee Road to Patton Way, has
several storm drain siphons. To minimize maintenance associated with siphons, the City adopted new
standards to avoid using siphons where storm drains could be connected to an adjacent storm drain
system or surface flow system. This project would eliminate some of those siphons by extending an 18
inch storm drain along Willow Creek Drive, between McCloud Court and Soda Springs Place. In addition,
this project would remove existing siphons by constructing new cross gutters on Feather River Drive at
Clear Lake Street, Huntington Court at Clear Lake Street, and Yuma Way at Six Rivers Street.
Due to the current development conditions, contractors are extremely busy and only one bid was received.
During the advertisement period of this project, Staff contacted several contractors to notify them of the
project. The one bid received was significantly higher than the Engineer's Estimate of $230,564. Staff will
monitor the existing storm drain system to determine if modifications continue to be warranted.
One bid was received on June 14, 2006 as follows:

Impact Reports (EIRs)" and the corresponding Tract Maps within Sections 21 and 29, T29S, R29E for
these two projects at a cost of $10,000.00 each. With the continued development activity and the large
number of EIRs that are being processed, it is necessary to contract for services to augment existing staff
levels in order to process these projects. Each contract is under $10,000.00 and therefore meets the
criteria to be a departmental contract for Development Services.
The scope of work shall include providing oversight in the EIR process, processing the GPAlZC,
coordination with the EIR Consultant in preparation of staff reports and resolutions, preparing notices of
determination and preparing staff reports, resolutions, conditions of approval and notices of determination
for the corresponding Tract Maps.

SUBJECT: Audit Reports Related to City Transportation Programs:
1. California Department of Transportation Examination of Indirect Cost Rate
Proposals for the Department of Public Works.
2. California State Controllers Office Gas Tax Fund Audit Report.
RECOMMENDATION:
Budget and Finance Committee recommends the audit reports be received and filed.
BACKGROUND:
Indirect Cost Rate Approvals - The City calculated and submitted Indirect Cost Rate Proposals to the
California Department of Transportation (CaITrans) in order to be able to be reimbursed for indirect costs
associated with various federal and state funded projects, including the Thomas Road Improvement
Program projects. CalTrans audited the City calculations and approved Indirect Cost Rates for Fiscal
Years 2002-03 and 2003-04. CalTrans included one audit finding in their report, where they recommend
that the City track all indirect labor time with a project code. The City has responded to this audit comment
and will comply with their recommendation. A copy of the CalTrans audit and the City's response are
attached.
Gas Tax Audit - The State Controllers Office routinely audits City gas tax expenditures for compliance
with State regulations regarding the use of said funds. The audit report indicates the City is in full
compliance with State regulations. A copy of the audit report is attached.
Budget and Finance Committee Review - The Budget and Finance Committee reviewed both reports at
their June 19, 2006 meeting. Staff disclosed the audit finding to the committee and discussed the City
response to the CalTrans recommendation. The Committee recommended that both audit reports be
forwarded to the full City Council for their review.

SUBJECT: Appointment of League Voting Delegate and Alternate at Annual Conference
RECOMMENDATION:
The Legislative and Litigation Committee will provide a recommendation following their July 18, 2006
meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, as part of the City's membership in the League of California Cities, the City Council appoints
a Voting Delegate and Altemate to represent the City's position on resolutions at the annual business
meeting of the League's Annual Conference. This year's annual conference is being held September 6-
9, 2006 in San Diego. The annual business meeting will be held on Saturday, September 9, beginning

The Legislative and Litigation Committee will be meeting on July 18, 2006, to discuss this issue. The

and Litigation Committee.
The Legislative and Litigation Committee will provide a recommendation for this year's League Voting
Delegate and Alternate by separate correspondence following the meeting on July 18,2006.

SUBJECT: 2006 Legislative Platform
RECOMMENDATION:
Legislative and Litigation Committee recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Current legislative concerns are captured in the City's Legislative Platform, which identifies the City's
legislative priorities for the year. This allows the City to focus its limited resources on areas of greatest
concern. It also provides a basis for quick response by City legislative advocates and departments to
legislative issues that arise.
Each year the Legislative Platform is reviewed to see if it reflects current needs. The Legislative and
Litigation Committee met on June 20, 2006 to review the 2006 Platform for possible changes.
The Committee added two paragraphs regarding: 1) efforts to ensure a clean, high-quality water
supply; and 2) prevent local water from leaving Kern County.
With the proposed change, the Committee feels the Platform reflects the City's current legislative
concerns.
Therefore, the Legislative and Litigation Committee respectfully requests that Council accept the
proposed 2006 Legislative Platform.

SUBJECT: Street Cut Workmanship and Performance Fee:
1. Public Hearing to consider Resolution approving and adopting an ad' stment to the
Street Cut Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee (Fee proposed to increase
from $9.60 per lane-foot to $17.50 per lane-foot).
2. First Reading of an ordinance amending Bakersfield Municipal Code Section
12.16.150 by adding Subsection C relating to the imposition of the Street Cut
Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution and first reading of ordinance.
BACKGROUND: Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 12.16.150 requires that all permits issued under
the requirements of this Chapter be charged a nonrefundable workmanship and performance warranty fee
to the City. All payment warranty fees received are expended solely for the purpose of maintaining the
workmanship and performance of City streets.
The Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee first became effective November 21, 1997 and was last
amended October 16, 2002. At that time, this fee was adjusted by the Construction Cost Index with the
increase phased in over a three year period. The Phase 3 fee became effective on November 1, 2004.
Since 2002, the cost of street resurfacing projects has increased dramatically - both from the increase in
material and labor prices and in the additional regulations that have to be met, such as those for Clean
Water Act compliance. The proposed fee schedule increases the base fee from $9.60 per lane-foot to
$17.50 per lane-foot (this is the cost per foot for the City to pave a 12' wide lane).
The proposed amendment to the ordinance will require that the Street Cut Workmanship and Performance
Warranty Fee be adjusted annually by the ENR Annual Construction Cost Index (Los Angeles), as
published by Engineering News Record. The proposed ordinance change also allows this fee to be re-
evaluated to account for any item that affects the fee, such as new federal, state or local regulations.
If approved, the adjusted fee would become effective on July 24, 2006. The Street Cut Workmanship and
Performance Warranty Fee is not a development fee.

SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider appeal by Leroy Petty to the decision of the Building Director
concerning construction of a carport at 3309 Spring View St.
1. Resolution upholding the Building Directors decision requiring the applicant to: (1) to
apply for a zoning modification with the Planning Department and comply with the
Board of Zoning Adjustment's ruling within 10 days or, (2) if a zoning modification is
not pursued, remove the carport within 30 days.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A hearing was held on June 6, 2006, by the Building Director and all proposed
charges were confirmed.
The sUbject property is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance 17.08.170; section (A): cornices,
canopies, eaves, patios, porch covers or carports, can extend within 2 feet of the front, side or rear
yard and the Uniform Building Code 106.1 which prohibits construction without a building permit.
The applicant did not obtain a building permit or meet setback requirements: the carport is built on the
property line which also creates a fire hazard.
The applicant appeared at the hearing on June 6, 2006 and contends the carport is not a problem; it's
safe and not a fire hazard or eyesore to the neighborhood. Since the applicant did not get a building
permit, staff cannot verify if the structure is safe.
