CONSENT CALENDAR
Ordinances
Item 5c. First Readina of an Ordinance Amendina the Municipal Code by Chanaina the Zonina from
A (AQriculture) to C-1 (Neiahborhood Commercial) on 15 Acres Located at the Northwest Corner of
Snow Road and Coffee Road. The reason for the request is to bring the zoning into conformance
with the GC (General Commercial) General Plan Land Use designation on the subject property. The
site is proposed for neighborhood commercial uses. The project site is currently in the process of
annexation, which is expected to be completed in approximately 12 to 18 months. On May 18, 2006,
the Planning Commission recommended adoption by the City Council. No one spoke in opposition to
the project. Staff also recommends approval of the zone change.
Resolutions
Item 5dd. Resolution of Intention to Close Access to Vehicular Traffic from/to Elm Street from/to 24th
Street - south side only. As part of the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP), an interchange
off SR99 will be constructed and Elm Street will be closed off at a location that is still to be
determined. The residents on Elm Street petitioned to temporarily close traffic access now by placing
pre-cast concrete barriers across Elm Street at 24th Street. When the exact location of the cul-de-sac
is known, a permanent closure will be built as part of the TRIP Project. This is only a street closure;
no street right-of-way is being vacated. No objections have been received to date. The proposed
closure was approved by the Planning Department on June 22, 2006 and was found to be consistent
with the 2010 General Plan. This Resolution sets the Public Hearing date for the regular Council
meeting of September 13, 2006.
Item 5;;. Sale of Real Property Located North of Mall View Road. East of the East Hills Mall to
Gardens at East Hills. LLC. in the amount of $279.100. In 1989, the State of Califomia relinquished
two drainage retention basins south of Hwy. 178 at Mt. Vernon and Oswell to the City. The new
owner of the East Hills Mall is asking to purchase 3.92 acres of the eastern drainage basin to facilitate
the expansion of their shopping center. In order for the City to find the property surplus to our needs.
the buyer will be required to reconstruct the basin in accordance with plans approved by the City and
Cal Trans.
Aareements
Item 511. Aareements with Bakersfield Museum of Art ($25.000) and Bakersfield Symphony ($50.000).
These agreements provide for payments pursuant to funding approved by the City Council in the FY
2006-07 budget. The contribution to the Museum of Art in the amount of $25,000 is in support of their
visual arts outreach through the Art Smart program and to expand the Museum on the Move mobile
museum. The contribution to the Symphony in the amount of $50,000 is for their use of the
Rabobank Theater or Bright House Amphitheater for concerts. The agreement terms and amounts
are the same as last year's contracts.

Item 5rr. AQreement with Kern Veterans Memorial Foundation. Inc. for Construction and
Maintenance of the Veterans War Memorial on the Southeast Corner of Truxtun Avenue and S Street.
Terms of the agreement specify that the Foundation is responsible for design and construction of the
Memorial and non-routine maintenance, once completed. The City would be responsible for routine
annual maintenance at a annual cost of $15,000, which includes electricity for security lighting and
pump, water for irrigation and water feature, and staff costs.
Item 5vv. Amendment No. 1 to Aareement No. 02-062 with Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Doualas.
Inc. (PBQD) to Revise the Time of Completion. Construction Plans and Scope of Work for the State
Route (SR) 178 InterchanQe at Fairfax Road in the amount of $289.517, for a new total contract
amount of $1.275.081. The original contract called for the completion of this work by November 30,
2002; however, it also stated that PBQD would be provided the interchange configuration, horizontal
and vertical alignments, and a draft of the initial Project Report (PR) which contains preliminary
studies regarding design of the project. Cal Trans told the City that this interchange configuration was
not approved, so PS&E work stopped until this configuration was analyzed, reviewed and approved
by Cal Trans, which delayed the project for three years. The delay resulted in additional work,
including changes to construction drawings already prepared; the change of a number of Cal Trans
standards. causing additional plan revisions; and overall increased costs due to inflation.
The scope of work is being increased to include the design of a traffic signal at the intersection of
Auburn Oaks Drive and Fairfax Road, which is necessary to provide adequate access to the United
States Post Office Hillcrest Mail Facility, whose current access to Auburn Street is required to be
closed in order to construct the interchange project.
The project is currently 90% complete. It is expected that Cal Trans will give final approval late this
year, with bidding in early 2007 and construction beginning spring or summer of 2007. This
Amendment will revise the time of completion to November 30, 2008, and revise the plans and scope
of work, as listed, above.
Item 5ww. Amendment NO.1 to Aareement No. 05-278 with T.Y. Lin International for Enaineerina
Services on White Lane at State Route 99 Eastbound to Southbound On-ramp Reconstruction in the
amount of $96.642. for a total contract amount of $330.762. On July 20, 2005 the City entered into an
agreement with T.Y. Lin International for Engineering Services for preparation of Plans, Specification
and Estimates (PS&E) for White Lane at State Route 99 Eastbound to Southbound on-ramp
reconstruction. Due to the complexity of this project, Cal Trans is requiring additional project approval
documents be prepared to support the design of the new on-ramp. In addition, an existing gas main
which parallels the existing right of way will not allow for standard designs for a retaining wall at the
right of way and will also require additional right-of-way easements which were not part of the original
scope of work. T.v. Lin International has agreed to modify their scope of work to include these
additional required items for an increase in compensation of $96,642.
Bids
Item 5ddd. Extend Bid from South Coast Fire Equipment for One (1) Replacement Tractor-drawn
Aerial Truck and Two (2) Replacement 1500 GPM Fire Pumper Trucks in the amount of
$1.605.791.55. The original agreement in 2002 provided that the City could purchase additional units
at the same per unit cost for an additional seven years, with price adjustments due to increases in the
Consumer Price Index and modifications to specifications. The cost for each vehicle has increased
since 2002 due to these factors.

CONSENT CALENDAR HEARINGS
The Planning Commission conducted public hearings on the Consent Calendar Items 6a.
through 6f. on June 15, 2006. No individuals or agencies present at the hearings opposed
the requests and the applicants agreed to all conditions and mitigation for the projects.
Item 6a. Public Hearina to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance on 130 Acres
Located at the Northwest Corner of Mornina Drive and Paladino Drive. and Amendment to Specific
Parks and Trails Plan for Northeast Bakersfield. Dunmore Communities, representing Malladi S.
Reddy (property owner), proposes development of approximately 390 single-family residential units
and preservation of the majority of the hillsides with 8% slope or greater within the site.
Item 6b. Public Hearina to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance on 65 Acres
Located on the East and West Sides of Coffee Road. South of Etchart Road. and West of the
Beardsley Canal. SmithTech/USA, Inc. representing Bidart Brothers (property owner). proposes
development of approximately 430 single-family homes on the site, upon annexation.
Item 6c. Public Hearina to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chanae on 466.84 Acres
Generally Bounded by Taft Hiahway (State Route 119) to the North. Stine Road to the East. Encle
Road to the South. and }'2 Mile West of Ashe Road (future Reliance Drive) to the West. Mcintosh &
Associates representing Santa Barbara Capital (property owner) proposes development of
approximately 2,334 single-family residential units on the site, upon annexation.
In accordance with CEOA, an EIR was prepared. Additionally, the project will result in a permanent
loss of approximately 444 acres of prime agricultural land, 16.41 acres of which are under a
Williamson Act land use contract. This is considered a significant and unavoidable impact for which
there are no feasible mitigation measures; therefore, adoption of a statement of overriding

considerations would be required in order to approve the project. Determinations regarding the
appropriateness of agricultural conversion proposals are at the discretion of the City Council.
Although a Notice of Non-Renewal has been filed, the term of the contract will not expire until
December 31, 2014. Cancellation of the Williamson Act land use contract will be processed through
the County of Kern.
Item 6d. Public Hearinc to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance on 28.87 Acres,
Located on the Southwest Corner of Taft Hiahwav and Ashe Road. Marino/Associates, representing
Taft 28 LLC (property owner), proposes development of 400 multiple-family residential dwelling units
on the site.
Item 6e. Public Hearinc to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance on 18.43
Acres Located on the Southeast Corner of Taft Hichwav and Gosford Road. Marino/Associates,

Item 6g. Public Hearinc to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance on 89.5 Acres
Located on the West Side of Fairfax Road. South of Redbank Road. This amendment would permit
the development of single-family residential units on the site. The Planning Commission
recommended approval on June 15, 2006 with the condition requiring off-site frontage improvements
on the south half of Redbank Road. Mcintosh and Associates, on behalf of Fairfax Holdings, L.P., the
property owner, was in opposition to the recommended condition of approval, citing that this
requirement was placed at the last minute without making the necessary findings to justify off-site
improvements. He added that these improvements are approximately 1,000 feet in length and will
amount to approximately $250,000 that will benefit others.
Subsequently, the Public Works Department recommends modifications to a condition requiring the
City to compact the upper 2~ feet of the Northeast Sewer trunk line trench along Redbank Road
following construction, and to reconstruct the south ~ foot of the existing roadway to current
standards that will lessen the burden to the applicant. Therefore, the matter has been resolved.
Council will adiourn to Closed Session. then take a brief recess
CLOSED SESSION
There will be a conference with legal counsel regarding one case of potential litigation.
HEARINGS
Item Sa. Continued Public Hearinc to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance
on 52.29 Acres Located West of Cottonwood Road. between East Panama Lane and Pacheco Road.
This project was continued from the May 24, 2006 City Council meeting. The Planning Commission
voted to deny the project and the applicant appealed that decision. Staff's original recommendation
was for denial based upon potential odor impacts from the poultry farm located across Cottonwood
Road. The owner of Farmer John Egg Company, (owner of the poultry farm) expressed concern
about a residential development across the street from his poultry farm.
Agenda Highlights
August 16, 2006

Staff met with the applicants regarding street and lot design, and potential significant odor
"thresholds." The new design now depicts an area in the southeast portion in which there would be
no habitable structures. Non-residential uses such as landscaping, street, walls and drainage sumps
will be permitted within the area where odor impact is projected to be the greatest. Staff believes the
odor issue has been resolved and now recommends approval.
Item Bb. Public Hearina to Consider a General Plan Amendment Zone Chance on 38.86 Acres
Located at the Northeast Corner of Snow Road and Jewetta Avenue (future). Porter Robertson
Engineering, representing Todd Sweaney (property owner), applied to change land use designations
from R-IA and ER to SR on 32.07 acres north of the Calloway Canal. A portion of the acreage was
proposed for commercial development.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 15, 2006. Planning staff recommended the
canal and areas south of it be zoned C-1/PCD, because the site met the land use element's minimum
commercial acreage and location standards. Additionally, this portion has an irregular shape and will
incur substantial street right-of-way costs. The applicant objected to offsite street improvements
between the project site and the Friant-Kern Canal, but otherwise concurred with the staff report.
Dennis McLean, opposed the commercial use and expressed concems regarding the land use
conflicts with abutting houses, increased traffic, and crime. He also felt the presence of the (open)
canal limited the amount of variety of commercial development that could occur in the proposed C-
1/PCD portion of the property.
The Planning Commission voted 4-1 to make the entire property residential. The proposal, as
recommended by the Planning Commission, would allow the development of 66 single-family
dwellings north of the Calloway Canal, and approximately 10 units south of the canal alignment. No
agencies opposed the request. The applicant has appealed. Staff recommends denial of the appeal.
Item Be. Continued Public Hearinc to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance
on 90 Acres Located on the East Side of Coffee Road, North of Snow Road. and West of the
Beardsley Canal. This item was considered by Council on May 24, 2006, when it was continued to
June 7, 2006, at which time the item was continued to the next GPA cycle at the request of the
applicant. Councilmember Couch and staff met with the applicant and neighborhood property
owners. which resulted in additional conditions to the project. These conditions, as listed in the
administrative report, have been added to the resolution recommending approval.
Item Bd. Public Hearinc to Consider a General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance on
Approximately 46 Acres Located at the Northwest Corner of Gosford Road and McKee Road (future).
Upon annexation into the City, the proposal would allow for the development of approximately 181
single-family homes on the 46-acre project site. The Planning Commission recommended approval to
the City Council on July 6, 2006. Anna Dezember, representing StructureCast, a precast concrete
manufacturing facility to the north of the site, stated that StructureCast is concerned that the
incompatibilities between their operations and the proposed residential development have not been
adequately addressed.
Three recently approved General Plan Amendment/Zone Change proposals for residential
development in the immediate vicinity have been approved by the City. Although the conditions of
approval imposed on these three projects by the City Council were similar, they were tailored for each
project in accordance with site-specific considerations. Subsequent to the Planning Commission
hearing, staff has re-reviewed the conditions of approval imposed by Council on these three
proposals. Based upon this review, staff recommends the addition of a condition requiring the
applicant to reimburse StructureCast for up to $20,000 for any sound muffling that they may elect to

construct on or around their concrete batch plant; a similar condition was imposed on all three
projects for the StructureCast facility.
StructureCast's preference is to prohibit residential lots within the buffer area. The Planning
Commission believes that it would be premature to impose such a restriction at this time; rather, they
recommend that the 100-foot habitable residential structure setback be imposed and that further
details regarding the ultimate lot and street configuration be addressed at the tract map review stage.
Brent Dezember, on behalf of StructureCast, filed an appeal to this decision due to their concern that
the proposal, as recommended by the Commission, does not include an adequate buffer to protect
their current industrial facility. Staff believes that the long-term compatibility of the proposed
residential development with StructureCast's operations would be enhanced if residential lots are
excluded within the setback area.
The applicant and property owner, Banducci Land, LLC, has requested a continuance of this item to
August 30, 2006 to allow more time to research the issues.
Item 8e. Public Hearina to Consider General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance on 39.29 Acres
Located on the Southwest Corner of East Planz Road and Washinaton Street (future). The proposal
by Marino/Associates, representing Mel Heinemann, and Jack and Nuha Haddad, the property
owners, would allow for the development of 290 detached residential units, a public park, and a
drainage sump on the site.
The majority of the project site lies within the ;4-mile buffer area for the City of Bakersfield's
Wastewater Treatment Plant No.2, established by the Public Works Department to prevent the
development of odor-sensitive land uses, including residential development, in close proximity to this
facility. Additionally, the treatment plant is considered a heavy industrial use facility that is not
compatible with residential uses. Ponds and lagoons could pose a significant nuisance and hazard to
any non-industrial use within close proximity. The applicant presented an alternative proposal to the
Planning Commission, consisting of residential development and a drainage sump within the
southern half of the project site. Although residential development would be set back further from the
treatment plant under the alternative proposal, residential development would encroach into the ;4-
mile buffer area.
The Planning Commission recommended denial to the City Council, and staff concurs. No individuals
or agencies present at the hearing opposed the request. The applicant subsequently submitted a
letter requesting a continuance to give them more time to reach a resolution. Staff agrees with that
req uest.

SUBJECT:
First reading of an ordinance approving a Negative Declaration and amending Section
17.06.020 (Zone Map No. 102-05) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code
by changing the zoning from A (Agriculture) to C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) on 15
acres located at the northwest corner of Snow Road and Coffee Road (ZC 06-0258
SmithTech/USA, Inc. representing Bidart Brothers) (Ward 4)
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 recommended adoption by the City Council. The zone change request consists of
changing the zoning from an A (Agriculture) zone to a C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) zone on 15
acres. The reason for the request is to bring the zoning into conformance with the GC (General
Commercial) General Plan Land Use designation on the subject property. The site is relatively flat and
currently contains orchards. The site is proposed for neighborhood commercial uses.
No one spoke in opposition to the project at the Planning Commission hearing.
The applicant states the zone change is to provide retail commercial uses for the utilization of the
nearby residences and community. The proposed zone change would promote orderly development by
providing an adequate variation of retail establishments and services that conveniently serve the needs
of residents in the immediate neighborhood and community.
The proposed zone change is consistent with the site's General Plan Land Use designation of General
Commercial. The General Plan identifies the land uses "generally" and the adoption of the zone
change is based on actual legal descriptions.
The project site is currently in the process of annexation to the City of Bakersfield as Snow No. 17,
Annexation No. 563. The annexation is expected to be completed in approximately 12 to 18 months.
Although no plans have been submitted, development of the project will be subject to conditional Site
Plan Review approval for the commercial shopping center. Site Plan Review conditions will include, but
not limited to, parking, landscaping, and perimeter walls.

Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff has determined the proposed project will not
significantly affect the physical environment of existing residential development in the area, therefore a
Negative Declaration was prepared and advertised. An air quality study, cultural resources survey, and
traffic impact evaluation were prepared for the project. Mitigation measures are included in the
conditions of approval to reduce impacts to less than significant.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change.

SUBJECT: Adoption of an ordinance approving a Negative Declaration and amending Section 17.06.020
(Zone Map No.123-08) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the
zoning from R-2 to P.U.D located on the southwest corner of Ming Avenue and Gosford Road.
(ZC 06-0332 - Mcintosh & Associates representing Castle & Cooke California, Inc.) (VVard 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on July 19, 2006.
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 public hearing. At the June 1, 2006 meeting, the Planning
Commission recommended adoption 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. The reason for the request is to allow innovative residential design of 217 homes with specific standards
that meet the requirements of public health, safety and welfare. The site is currently undeveloped.
Two people spoke in opposition to the project at the May 18, 2006 public hearing, and the same two people
spoke in opposition at the June 1, 2006 public hearing. Their concerns were increased traffic and traffic noise
from the project.
The project has received conditional Site Plan Review approval for 217 units, with 97 single family residences
built on 46'x72' lots, and 120 single family residences designed in six-unit clusters with common landscaping
and zero-lot line property borders. Site Plan Review conditions address parking, landscaping, perimeter walls
and traffic. The project is a gated community that includes a private park with a recreation center and pool,
and an additional pocket park for residents to utilize.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1476 to add territory, Area 3-55 (Panama, Ashe SW) to the
Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving
Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 6).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of Tentative
Tract No. 6663 to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by section 13.04.021
of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance
of a public park and street landscaping. Area 3-55 is generally bounded by Panama Lane on the north,
Ashe Road on the east, Berkshire Road on the south and a line approximately 1,300 feet west of Ashe
Road on the west. This area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned

Staff is recommending the new territory be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next City
Council meeting.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property described above which waives
the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to
expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The owner also has
submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating his consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the
Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a
covenant has been drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider/developer to be recorded with the
subdivision map. A copy of the covenant is attached for reference.

front the cost of the City's project. The funds collected as new and existing parcels within the area
develop will be used to reimburse the Sewer Enterprise fund for the cost of the City's project.
This resolution preliminarily approves the boundaries of the Area, the cost of the improvements and the

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1466 to order the vacation of access to vehicular traffic
from/to Elm Street from/to 24th Street - south side only CNard 2).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield has received a request from most of the residents on Elm
Street, between 22nd and 24th Street, to close access to vehicular traffic from/to Elm Street from/to 24th
Street (south side only). As part of the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP), an interchange
off SR99 will be constructed and Elm Street will be closed off at a location that is still to be determined.
The residents on Elm Street petitioned to temporarily close traffic access now by placing pre-cast
concrete barriers across Elm Street at 24th Street. When the exact location of the cul-de-sac is known,
a permanent closure will be built as part of the TRIP Project. This is only a street closure; no street
right-of-way is being vacated.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Development Services, and Economic Development Departments
have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of the date of this report.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and no objections have been
received as of the date of this report.
The proposed closure was approved by the Planning Department on June 22, 2006 per local ordinance
and was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan pursuant to
Government Code 65402.
It was determined that this action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of CEQA guidelines (general rule), because there is no
possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.
This Resolution sets the Public Hearing date for the regular Council meeting of September 13th, 2006,
on the proposed street closure.

SUBJECT: SunGard HTE Computer Software
1. Resolution Determining that the SunGard HTE Software Cannot be Reasonably
Obtained through Usual Bidding Procedures.
2. Amendment No.6 to Agreement No. 97-283 with SunGard HTE Regarding
Purchasing of Click2Gov Internet Interface for Code Enforcement ($23,920) and
QRep Web software ($22,190) - totaling $46,110.00.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and approval of Amendment.
BACKGROUND:
The Development Services Department currently uses the SunGard HTE Code Enforcement module for
tracking and recording Code Enforcement complaints. The Click2Gov Internet Interface will allow them to
enter Code violations and inspection results from the field, without having to return to the office. This will
allow Code Enforcement staff to be more productive.
The City currently uses the non-web version of CRap for on demand reporting functions. We have
recently discontinued 60 licenses of QRep and are replacing them with 60 web licenses. The web version
of QRep has less functionality; however, it is more than sufficient for most reporting needs. The purchase
price will be recovered in one year due to the lower maintenance cost for the product.

SUBJECT: BIO-key FireRMS Software
1. Resolution Determining that the FireRMS Software Cannot be Reasonably
Obtained through Usual Bidding Procedures.
2. Agreement with Bio-Key to purchase FireRMS software for not to exceed
$110,000.
3. Appropriate $110,000 County Reimbursement to the Information Technology
Operating Budget in the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution, approval of Agreement and Appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Fire Department is currently using the Fire RMS (Records Management System) from
SunGard HTE. This system communicates with the Intergraph Computer Aided Dispatch System and
collects information used to report to the California Fire Marshal's office. They will be converting from this
system to the newer BIO-key system for several reasons:
. BIO-key RMS works with the TeleStaff scheduling system that the Fire Department already uses.
This will allow the software to automatically track which Firefighters responded to a call, important
for reporting purposes and for the safety of the Firefighter.
. BIO-key has a close working relationship with the CAD vendor, Intergraph. SunGard HTE is a
competitor to Intergraph and there is constant friction between the two vendors.
· BIO-key RMS will allow us to merge CUP A into the Fire Prevention module of the new Fire RMS.
This will allow the department to have all information relating to an incident in one system and will
eliminate the maintenance costs for the current CUPA program (currently $15,000 per year).
· Kern County Fire uses the same software. Running the same system will enable the two
departments to better share training and information.

SUBJECT: Sale of Real Property
1. Resolution declaring real property located north of Mall View Road, east of the East
Hills Mall surplus to needs of the City.
2. Agreement with Gardens at East Hills, LLC, a California limited liability company to
purchase property located north of Mall View Road, east of the East Hills Mall for
$279,100. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In 1989 the State of Califomia relinquished two drainage retention basins south of Highway 178 at Mount
Vernon and Oswell Streets to the City of Bakersfield. The new owner of the East Hills Mall has requested
the City sell 3.92 acres of the eastem drainage retention basin to facilitate the expansion of their shopping
center. Their request is very similar to when the owners of the Valley Plaza Mall purchased another
former Caltrans sump to allow construction of the Pacific Theaters.
In order for the City to find the property surplus to our needs the buyer will be required to reconstruct the
drainage retention basin in accordance with plans reviewed and approved by the City and Caltrans.
Further, the buyer will be paying $279,100 for the property which represents its fair market value as
determined by Randy K. Merriman, MAl an independent fee appraiser.
The Planning Department found the sale consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.

SUBJECT: Agreement with the law Offices of Hanna, Brophy, Maclean, McAleer & Jensen for Workers '
Compensation legal Services in the amount not to exceed $180,000 for a twelve month period
to be paid from the Self-Insurance Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In March of 2004 the City Council approved an agreement with the law Offices of Hanna, Brophy,
Maclean, McAleer & Jensen (Hanna & Brophy) to provide legal services for the City's workers'
compensation claims litigation. As Hanna & Brophy specializes in the defense of workers' compensation
claims they are able to provide a high level of expertise that is very beneficial to the City.
During the past year Hanna & Brophy has been successful in handling and concluding litigated
workers' compensation claims, which has resulted in cost and efficiency savings to the City.
Hanna & Brophy's rates of $135 per hour are the same as last year's rate and are very reasonable
relative to customary workers'· compensation attorney's hourly rates. As with the prior year, the terms of
the contract provide that the City will not be billed for internal costs, such as copy charges, legal research,
or clerical time.
The proposed contract is in an amount not to exceed $180,000 and covers a twelve month period
and will cover all of the City's workers' compensation litigation. This contract amount matches the
anticipated legal costs and is based on actual expenditures from the prior period.

$25,000 for Fiscal Year 2006-07.
2. Contribution Agreement with the Bakersfield Symphony in the amount of $50,000
for Fiscal Year 2006-07.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND: These agreements provide for payments to the Bakersfield Museum of Art and the
Bakersfield Symphony pursuant to funding approved by the City Council in the 2006-07 budget and are
for the same amounts they received for fiscal year 2005-06 from the City. The contribution to the
Museum of Art in the amount of $25,000 is in support of their visual arts outreach through the Art Smart
program and to expand the Museum on the Move mobile museum. The contribution to the Symphony
in the amount of $50,000 is for their use of the Rabobank Theater or Bright House Amphitheater for
concerts. The agreement terms and amounts are the same as last years contracts.
The City has made previous contributions to the Museum of Art and the Symphony and these groups

SUBJECT: Annexation Agreement with the Rosedale - Rio Bravo Water Storage District to allow
annexation of district properties to City (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Rosedale - Rio Bravo Water Storage District (District) owns property consisting
of earthworks, facilities and structures adjacent to the incorporated boundaries of the City of Bakersfield in
an area west of Allen Road and north of Stockdale Highway. The City is growing within the boundaries of
the District. Urbanization and annexations to the City are occurring up-to and adjoining District property.
The inclusion of District properties into the City will assist in ensuring orderly development, discourage
urban sprawl, preserve open space lands and more efficiently extend government services. The District
has agreed to allow the City to annex its properties in exchange for extending what is known as a
Miscellaneous Water contract.
District has an existing agreement to receive defined quantities of Miscellaneous Kern River water from
the City through the year 2011. The current agreement allows the District to use the water for groundwater
recharge operations throughout the District, irregardless of whether the land is within the City limits or not.
This agreement will extend quantities of Kern River water to the District in order to meet the water service
demands of those lands that are within the City limits, current and future annexed. The quantity of
Miscellaneous Water that the District would receive will be jointly calculated by City and District on an
annual basis. The District will be required to allocate its State Water Project, federal contract waters and
City "Basic" contract water first to the lands within the City and then the extended Miscellaneous Water
would be delivered to fill-in the water demand requirements. The City will allow flexibility in delivery of
portions of this water to the City's "2800 Acres" and to District's participatory banking projects adjacent to
the "2800 Acres".
The City of Bakersfield Water Board approved this agreement at its July 20, 2006 Special Meeting and
recommended forwarding to the City Council for approval.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The City currently has 18 active Assessment Districts, with a total bonded
indebtedness of $78,780,000.00 which all require Continuing Disclosure Certificates. The City
has covenanted in its respective Continuing Disclosure Certificate for the benefit of the
Bondholders to provide an annual report containing certain financial information and operating
data relating to each Assessment District and the property within the Assessment District. This
covenant has been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 15c212(b)(5). The City does not have expertise in this area of
reporting requirements.
This agreement will allow us the use of a professional consultant to process these Continuing
Disclosure Reports and meet the deadlines imposed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The cost of these services will be charged to the related Special Assessment
District.

SUBJECT: Agreement with California Water Service Company to Engineer and Construct a 30" diameter
pipeline along Snow Road to deliver Kern River water to the northwest water treatment plant
located at Coffee and Norris Roads. (Unincorporated)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff and Water Board recommend approval.
BACKGROUND: The City and Cal Water have a need to expand the water production capability of their
respective service areas in the northwest by replacing water from wells in the vicinity that have been idled due
to water quality concerns. It has been determined that a shared water filtration plant, storage and pumping
facility located on the southwest corner of Coffee and Norris Roads would economically replace this lost
production and meet the areas current and projected growth demands. This plant is currently under
construction and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
The water for the plant is to be transported by the "4-Ditch" from the Beardsley Canal at Snow Road westerly
to Coffee Road, then south along Coffee Road to the plant site. The 4-Ditch is wholly owned by the City. The
City installed a new pipeline for the segment along Coffee Road. The section of the 4-Ditch along Snow Road
is an older concrete pipe that is prone to leaks, is unsuitable for water delivery to a drinking water plant and it
has been recommended for replacement. Along with the replacement of the pipeline a new headgate and
water control facilities will be installed on the Beardsley Canal. These new facilities will allow for a safe and
reliable delivery of Kern River water to the northwest water treatment plant. Entering into this agreement will
ensure the completion of the project prior to the start-up of the water treatment plant.
The estimated cost of engineering, construction and inspection of the project is $1,344,514. The City will have
the option of reimbursement as a lump sum or up to a 5 year period. If the City chooses reimbursement over
time, the interest rate charged is equivalent to the rate the City will be paying on a public bond for pipeline
construction. Cal Water will be paying the City $73.48 per acre-foot of water delivered through this pipeline to
the plant and the City anticipates delivering 10,000 acre-feet per year.
The City Water Board reviewed this agreement and voted unanimously to approve and recommend City
Council approval.

Norris Road adjacent to the City's Water Station L208 located at the corner of Norris and Coffee
Roads. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: Adavco is responsible for providing street improvements on the south side of Norris
Road, including new pavement and concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, and utility relocation, in
accordance with the conditions of Tract Map 6050. The City needs to have the south 275 feet of Norris Road

tank (Station L208) and the new Northwest Water Treatment Plant. Combining the two projects reduces
overall costs. The City will be responsible for only the City's 275 feet of improvements, said costs not to
exceed $76,972.00. Funds are available in the 2006/07 Capital Improvement Budget.

SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map Processing.
1. Agreement with TPG Consulting (not to exceed $50,000) to assist Planning
Division staff with the processing of Tentative Tract Maps.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield continues to experience record levels of development activity and the number of
applications for tentative tract maps also continues to increase. Currently there is a back log of maps.
An Associate Planner position has been approved in the proposed FY 06/07 budget, but it is necessary
to outsource processing some of the applications as an interim measure to bridge the gap in staffing
levels while recruiting to fill vacancies.
To cope with this short term problem, we are proposing to utilize a private consultant, TPG Consulting,
to process applications.
TPG Consulting is uniquely qualified to provide this service. They have successfully completed several
important local projects and are familiar with our location conditions, local ordinances, and current
planning programs that address development issues. The funding for the consultant is available in the
FY 06/07 Budget.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Kronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & Girard ($75,000) to provide legal services
for acquisition of right-of-way for the construction of the Wests ide Parkway (Wards 2, 4, and
5).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Westside Parkway is part of the circulation element of the Metropolitan
Bakersfield General Plan. It is a projected east-west transportation corridor through the City of
Bakersfield, starting approximately east of Heath Road and Stockdale Highway, continuing for
approximately 8 miles and terminating just east of Freeway 99.
There are approximately ten (10) pieces of real property necessary for the City of Bakersfield to
acquire for construction of the Westside Parkway. At this time, the City wishes to retain outside legal
services to handle the right-of-way/eminent domain cases associated with said properties. The law firm of
Kronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & Girard specializes in real property acquisitions and has worked for the
City previously in right-of-way/eminent domain cases. The attached Agreement is similar to previous
agreements and proposes to have Kronick Moscovitz handle each right-of-way for the Westside Parkway
on a flat rate basis up to a certain point in each case. This arrangement will benefit the City by allowing us
to better predict our financial obligations and hopefully achieve a cost savings while retaining experienced
legal counsel in this specialized area.
This agreement will be funded entirely with federal and state funds under the State Transportation
Improvement Program.

SUBJECT: State Route (SR) 178 Interchange at Fairfax Road (Ward 3):
1. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 02-062 with Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade &
Douglas, Inc., ($289,517; for a total contract amount of $1,275,081) to revise the
time of completion, construction plans, and scope of work.
2. Appropriate $290,000 Transportation Development Fund balance to the capital
improvement budget to fund this Amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: The City entered into Agreement No. 02-062 with Parson Brinckerhoff Quade &
Douglas, Inc. (PBQD) on March 6, 2002 for engineering services for the preparation of plans,
specifications & estimates (PS&E) for the interchange on State Route 178 at Fairfax Road including a one
mile extension of the SR178 freeway. The original contract called for the completion of this work by
November 30, 2002; however, it also stated that PBQD would be provided the interchange configuration,
horizontal and vertical alignments, and a draft of the initial Project Report (PR) which contains preliminary
studies regarding design of the project. The configuration provided to PBQD utilized an interchange layout
that had been recommended in a study prepared by the City and approved by Caltrans in 1996. With the
initial submittal of PBQD construction plans in the summer of 2002, Caltrans told the City that this
interchange configuration was not approved, and so PS&E work stopped while this configuration was
analyzed and reviewed by Caltrans. Due to unavailability of City staff, other City consultants with
assistance from PBQD completed numerous studies and documents before Caltrans ultimately approved
of the configuration, allowing the PS&E work to move forward. This delayed the project for three years.
This interchange configuration analysis results in additional PBQD work including changes to construction
drawings already prepared for the project. And during this delay, a number of Caltrans standards changed
also resulting in plan revisions being necessary. Some of the as-built information received from Caltrans
regarding the drainage system for SR 178 in the area did not accurately reflect the conditions that existed,
causing additional work for PBQD. And the project delay is also causing inflationary costs to PBQD.
PBQD's scope of work is also being increased to include the design of a traffic signal at the intersection of
Auburn Oaks Drive and Fairfax Road. This signal is necessary to provide adequate access to the United
States Post Office Hillcrest Mail Facility, whose current access to Auburn Street is required to be closed in
order to construct the interchange project.
The project is currently at the 90% plan completion level, and final construction plan approval by Caltrans

is anticipated for late this year with bidding in early 2007 and construction beginning spring or summer of
2007.
This Amendment will revise the time of completion to November 30, 2008 which includes the period during
project construction (for construction support services). It will also revise the plans as required above, and
will revise the scope of work to include the Auburn Oaks Drive/Fairfax Road traffic signal. The total
amount of the Amendment for this work is $289,517. This changes the not-to-exceed compensation
amount in the original agreement from $985,564 to $1,275,081. Parsons Transportation Group staff
working on the Thomas Roads Improvement Program have also reviewed this Amendment and found that
it is consistent with current consultant charges for comparable work.
Staff recommends approval of the Amendment and appropriation.

contract amount of $330,762) for Engineering Services on White Lane at State Route 99
Eastbound to Southbound On-ramp reconstruction (Ward 7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment.
BACKGROUND: On July 20,2005 the City entered into Agreement No. 05-278with TY. Lin International
for Engineering Services for preparation of Plans, Specification and Estimates (PS&E) for White Lane at
State Route 99 Eastbound to Southbound on-ramp reconstruction. White Lane at State Route 99
Eastbound to Southbound on-ramp is located within State of California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) right of way requiring an encroachment permit and project oversight from Caltans.
During the original scope of work for this project, it was assumed that the City would be able to use the
project approval documents for the White Lane at State Route 99 Overcrossing Widening and Interchange
Improvement Project. Due to the complexity of this project, Caltrans is requiring additional project
approval documents be prepared to support the design of the new on-ramp. In addition, an existing gas
main which parallels the existing right of way will not allow for standard designs for a retaining wall at the
right of way and will also require additional right of way easements which were not part of the original
scope of work. TY. Lin International has agreed to modify their scope of work to include these additional
required items for an increase in compensation of $96,642.00.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 95-229 Regarding Assignment of Cable
Television Franchise from CoxCom, Inc. to Cebridge Acquisitions, L.P.
2. Ordinance amending Section 5.48.020 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to
franchise rights.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement and first reading of ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
In 1965, the City granted CoxCom, Inc.'s ("Cox") predecessor a non-exclusive cable television
franchise. In 1995, the City memorialized its television franchises with written agreements and
adopted an ordinance setting forth the holders of such franchises. One of those agreements (No.
95-229) was between the City and Cox Communications Bakersfield, Inc., a subsidiary of Cox.
In December, 2005, Cox notified the City that it had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
with Cebridge Acquisition Co., LLC. One of the assets that Cebridge Acquisitions Co., LLC would
be acquiring is the Bakersfield cable television franchise. Pursuant to that Asset Purchase
Agreement, Cebridge Acquisition Co., LLC would assign the franchise to Cebridge Acquisition, LP,
doing business as Cebridge Connections. Cebridge Connections provides cable services to
residents and businesses in twenty states.
Both Agreement No. 95-229 and the City Charter require the City Council to consent to the
assignment of franchise rights. Cox and Cebridge submitted a binder-full of documentation
regarding the transfer to the City. On April 5, 2006, the City Council adopted resolution number
093-06 consenting to the transfer on the condition that the sale was consummated, that Cox and
Cebridge executed an assignment agreement and Cebridge provided the requisite insurance,
business tax certificate and proof of right to conduct business in Bakersfield. The sale has been
consummated, the assignment agreement has been executed and Cebridge has provided the
requisite documents.

Licensed Software in the amount of $152,795.83
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of amendment.
BACKGROUND:
HTE developed many of the software programs which the City runs on the AS/400 computer. Such
programs include: Purchasing/Inventory; Payroll/Personnel; Accounts Receivable; Accounts Payable;
Business Ucenses; Utility Billing; Work Orders; Fire Records Management; Building Permits; Planning &
Zoning; Park Reservations, etc. This amendment will ensure that HTE continues to update software and
provide service for any problems encountered with these programs.
The agreement calls for a one-time payment of $152,795.83 which will ensure support through Juiy 31,
2007. The amount of $152,795.83 is a $5429.31 decrease (approximately 3.4%) from the 05-06 fiscal
year amount of $158,225.14, and reflects a decrease in the number of QREP licenses the City is using.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order NO.6 to Agreement 06-028 with Granite Construction Company
($342,808.00 for a revised not to exceed amount of $6,429,218.00) for the N. Chester
Avenue Bridge over the Kern River (Replacement) (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This construction project started in February, 2006. At that time, the Kern River water
supply forecast was for a below average year indicating an average to below average river flow at the
Chester Bridge location during the project.
Subsequently, March and April had 135% of normal average precipitation in the watershed. In addition, in
April the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers ordered very large mandatory releases from Isabella Dam to the
Kern River based on concerns about the safety of the Isabella Auxiliary Dam. The result was that flows at
the bridge construction project were 10 times the amount anticipated when construction started in
February.
As a result, the bridge construction area was inundated and it was mutually agreed between City Staff and
Granite Construction that the project be suspended until flows were reduced to a manageable level. Every
attempt was made to reduce costs during the suspension period; however, certain costs for re-work
caused by the high flows, remobilization of equipment, equipment rental, site security, and field overhead
are necessary. This Change Order provides for reimbursement of those costs and adds 7 working days.
This work will be performed under Extra Work at Agreed Lump,sum Price, Extra Work at Force Account,
and Increase in Item at Contract Unit Price. Actual costs of the Force Account work will be paid based on
the labor, material and equipment used to complete the work plus contract mark-ups.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends rejection of all bids.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to nine (9) suppliers for providing seven (7) front loader
refuse trucks with packer bodies. One (1) bid was received in response to solicitation. Specifications
required suppliers to provide trucks with diesel engines meeting 2007 state and federal emissions
regulations. Production delays associated with the engine re-design have pushed the delivery time for
diesel front loaders with 2007 engines to approximately five-hundred (500) days from the date of order.
Due to increased down time of existing equipment and the fact that one of the requested trucks is
additional to fleet to accommodate growth, the stated delivery time is impractical. Staff will revise the
specifications to reflect an LNG engine.

Tractor-Drawn Aerial Truck and Two (2) Replacement 1500 GPM Fire Pumper Trucks.
(Wards 3 and 6)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends extension of bid.
BACKGROUND: At the Council meeting of March 6,2002, City Council approved the purchase of one (1)
tractor-drawn aerial truck ($648,249.03) and one (1) 1500 GPM Fire Pumper Truck ($388,843.46) from
South Coast Fire Equipment. The bid specifications included a provision whereby the City may purchase
additional units at the same per unit cost for an additional seven (7) years, with price adjustments to due to
increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and to account for modifications to specifications to comply
with changes to State and Federal codes. Increases to the CPI and required changes in specifications
have resulted in an increase since 2002 of 12.9% and 12.4% respectively to the ladder truck and the
pumper truck.
The equipment will replace Ladder Truck 7 and Fire Engines 10 and 13. Funds for the purchase are in the

SUBJECT: Accept bid from Noritsu America Corporation in the amount of $63,181.92 for one (1) digital
dry printer.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid.
BACKGROUND: The Police Department currently utilizes a color copier to print crime scene photographs
as well as other investigation materials which are sent to the Kern County District Attorney and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The color copier is not producing photographs of a high enough quality to satisfy
the District Attorney's office and many of the photos must be re-processed by outside labs. Staff in the
Police Department's Crime Scene Unit and the Purchasing Division researched the market to determine
quality and availability of digital printing products and finds the digital dry printer manufactured by Noritsu
Koki to best meet the City's needs in terms of quality, functionality and cost. The digital printer
manufactured by Noritsu Koki is sold directly by the manufacturer through Noritsu America Corporation.
The General Services Administration (GSA) has a contract with Noritsu America and the City of
Bakersfield is able to purchase off of this contract. Piggybacking on to the GSA contract will allow the City
to obtain equipment meeting the City's requirements at the discounts offered to the federal government.
The Police Department applied for, and received, a Department of Justice grant for the purchase of the
equipment.

SUBJECT: Accept bids for the McCutchen/Gosford Sewer lift Station Project 0Nard 6):
1. Accept bid from ABS Pump Inc. ($285,996) for the purchase of five pumps.
2. Accept bid from Biorem Environmental Inc. ($175,000) for the purchase of odor
control system.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bids.
BACKGROUND: On March 8, 2006, Council adopted Resolution 076-06 dispensing with formal
bidding procedures for construction of a permanent pump station for Wastewater Treatment Plant
Number 3. Because of the recent failures occurring at the temporary pump station, which caused
several spills at the intersection of Buena Vista Road and McCutchen Road, Staff recommended
dispensing with the regular bidding process and allowing the Design-Build method of construction. Due
to the untenable operational situation and potential for sewer spills, utilizing the Design-Build method
was a tactic used to accelerate the construction of the new permanent pump station.
Since then the contractor has begun construction of the lift station and staff has begun the procurement
process for the large-lead-time items. The items which the City committed to purchasing were the five
sewer pumps and the odor control system. This project is time sensitive so the most crucial
requirement was the dates of delivery for these items. Delivery dates, along with pricing and technical
evaluation, were the terms of approval. Expansion for Wastewater Plant No.3, including this lift station,
is currently being designed by Parsons. They have provided the City with technical review of the bids
and information received to ensure the best possible selection.
For the lift station pumps, three (3) bids were received in response to solicitation and are as follows:

Fairbanks Morse Pump

Sacramento, California.
For the odor control system, two (2) bids were received in response to solicitation and are as follows:

Staff does not find the low bid to be acceptable in this case. Although the General Electric-Pacific
Solution was the lowest bid, the media used for this odor control system does not have a record of
proven performance. In the past, the City of Bakersfield has opted against the purchasing of product
that not been of a proven reliable nature. In this case, the media of a biofilter odor control system is a
critical component to the overall system. Biorem has the qualifications desired, the shortest schedule
and meets technical specification. Staff recommends award of the bid to Biorem Environmental, Inc.,
Victor, New York.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Meyer Civil Engineering, Inc. ($206,125) for final design of a New Sewer
Trunk Line to Wastewater Treatment Plant NO.2 (Wards 1 and 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: In late 2004, Public Works conducted a Qualifications and Proposal process to select a
firm to provide a Project Study and Preliminary Engineering Design for a new sewer trunk line to WWTP
#2. This new sewer trunk line will support growth in the WWTP #2 sewer service area. The Council
awarded the contract to Meyer Civil Engineering, Inc. in November 2004 and the Project Study was
accepted by Public Works as complete in October 2005.
The final design and preparation of construction documents for the project is being done in stages. The
first stage is for the very large diameter pipe (72 inch) which runs from WWTP #2 to the intersection of S.
Oswell Street and Redbank Road. The final design for the first stage of the trunk sewer line is being
completed by Mcintosh and Associates and is expected to be under construction before the end of 2006.
Under this current agreement, Meyer Civil Engineering will provide final design and construction
documents for the remaining length of the project from Oswell Street at Redbank Road to Edison Highway
at Vineland Road. This length of sewer includes frontage at the new high school being built in the
southeast, Mira Monte High. The City is working with the Kern High School District to facilitate the
construction of the sewer to meet construction goals for the new high school. Timely coordination of this
design and the resultant construction work is essential to the opening of the new school and other new
land developments in the area.

Community Services Committee recommends approval of this request.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services Committee voted unanimously at its meeting to officially name the Memorial
Grove the San MiQuel Grove. The grove was recently built by the city and volunteers, and was dedicated

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 are scheduled for September, 2006. This action aligns the budget to maintain
compliance with staff fiduciary responsibilities.

Reclassification: Assistant Planner (1 position) to Associate Planner
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
The Development Services Department has recently experienced difficulties in recruiting qualified
applicants for the position of Associate Planner. Prior to conducting a new recruitment, the Planning
Director would like to update the job specification to accurately reflect the current assignments and
qualifications. The job specification was last updated 17 years ago. In addition, the Planning Director has
identified that the existing Assistant Planner, Dave Dow, has been performing at the level of Associate
Planner and, therefore, should be reclassified to Associate Planner.
CCAPE concurs with the proposed revision. There is no budgetary impact as the salary will remain the
same. The revised job specification will be presented to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their
August 15, 2006 meeting.

Mcintosh & Associates, representing Santa Barbara Capital, the property owner, has
applied for a general plan amendment and zone change on 466.84 acres generally
bounded by Taft Highway (State Route 119) to the north, Stine Road to the east, Engle
Road to the south, and the north-south midsection line of Section 4 (1/2 mile west of

acres.
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
Upon annexation into the City, the proposal would allow for the development of approximately 2,334

site and its minimal frontage along Taft Highway, other contiguous projects along the south side of Taft
Highway from Stine Road to west of Ashe Road have been approved by the City or are currently in
process. Together with the proposed project, these projects form a logical annexation area for future
urban development within the City of Bakersfield.

public scoping meeting on June 27,2005, an adequacy hearing to receive comments on the Draft EIR
on March 2,2006, and a hearing on the Final EIR on June 15, 2006. The Final EIR was recommended
for certification by the Planning Commission on June 15, 2006.
Policy C.14. of the Conservation Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan requires the
decision making body to evaluate ten factors to determine the appropriateness of agricultural
conversion proposals. These factors were addressed in the Farmland Conversion Study prepared by
Mcintosh & Associates (May 2005) for the project. The project will result in a permanent loss of
approximately 444 acres of prime agricultural land, which is considered a significant and unavoidable
impact for which there are no feasible mitigation measures; therefore, adoption of a statement of
overriding considerations would be required in order to approve the project. Determinations regarding
the appropriateness of agricultural conversion proposals are at the discretion of the City Council. 16.41
acres of the project site are under a Williamson Act land use contract. Although a Notice of Non-
Renewal has been filed, the term of the contract will not expire until December 31, 2014. Cancellation
of the Williamson Act land use contract will be processed through the County of Kern.
Project implementation would permanently alter the nature and appearance of the project site from
active farmland to urban uses. Security and street lighting would introduce light and glare into the area.
Development would convert existing open space to urban uses, resulting in the incremental loss of
open space within the Metropolitan Bakersfield area. Mitigation measures are proposed to reduce light
and glare intrusion to a level of insignificance, but the permanent loss of open space is a significant
unavoidable impact; therefore, adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this general plan amendment/zone change
and recommended approval to the City Council on June 15, 2006. No individuals or agencies present
at the hearing opposed the request and the applicant agreed to all conditions and mitigation for the
project.
Mitigation measures which address aesthetics, light, and glare, agriculture, air quality, biological
resources, cultural resources, geologic and seismic hazards, hydrology and water quality, noise, public
health and safety, public services and utilities, and traffic impacts are recommended as part of the
project approval. In addition, conditions of approval requiring the payment of a Williamson Act land use
contract cancellation fee and the preparation of a master park and trails plan for the project are
recommended.
Despite compliance with local ordinances, state laws, mitigation measures incorporated into the project
as conditions of approval, and construction in accordance with the Uniform Building Codes, agricultural
and aesthetics impacts would remain significant. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend
certification of the Final EIR and accompanying mitigation monitoring and reporting program and the
adoption of CEQA findings and a statement of overriding considerations as required pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091 and 15093.

Mcintosh and Associates, representing Fairfax Holdings L.P., the property owner, has
applied for a general plan amendment and zone change on 89.5 acres located on the
west side of Fairfax Road, south of Redbank Road. An appeal of the Planning
Commission's decision was submitted by Mcintosh and Associates.
1. Resolution approving the Negative Declaration, denying the appeal and adopting

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving the Negative Declaration, denying the appeal and
approving the proposed general plan amendment and first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This amendment to the general plan would permit the development of single family residential units on
the 89.5 acre site. The Planning Commission conducted public hearing(s) on this General Plan
Amendment/Zone Change and recommend City Council approval on June 15, 2006. McIntosh and
Associates, on behalf of Fairfax Holdings, L.P., was in opposition to the recommended condition of
approval requiring off-site frontage improvements on the south half of Redbank Road. Mr. Roger A.
Mcintosh cited that this requirement was placed on the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change at
the last minute without making the necessary findings to justify off-site improvements. He added that
these improvements are approximately 1,000 feet in length and will amount to approximately $250,000
that will benefit others. Despite the opposition of the applicant, the Planning Commission recommends
this condition of approval. A letter appealing this condition was received in the City Clerk's office on

June 19, 2006. Following discussion with the applicant, Public Works recommends modifications to
Condition No. 6(a) requiring the City to compact the upper 2-112 feet of the Northeast Sewer trunk line
trench along Redbank Road following construction and to reconstruct the south Y2 of the existing
roadway to current standards. These modifications would lessen the burden upon the applicant
associated with the construction of these required improvements.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a significant effect
on the environment. Therefore, a negative declaration was prepared and posted on May 15, 2006, in

SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment/Zone Change 05-0940, Appealed CNard 1 Upon Annexation)
Mcintosh & Associates, representing Patty Smale, Janice Sheldon, William Sheldon, and
Barbara Sheldon, the property owners, have applied for a general plan amendment and
zone change on 52.29 acres located west of Cottonwood Road, between East Panama
Lane and Pacheco Road. An appeal to the Planning Commission's decision was
submitted by Roger A. Mcintosh.
1. Resolution approving the Negative Declaration, approving the appeal and
adopting the general plan amendment changing the land use designation from
R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential) on 52.29
acres.
2. First reading of ordinance approving the Negative Declaration, amending Title
17 of the Municipal Code and amending Zoning Map No. 124-20 from A
(Agriculture) to R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) on 52.29 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution, approving the Negative Declaration, approving the
appeal and approving the proposed general plan amendment and first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This project was continued from the May 24, 2006 City Council meeting. The staffs original
recommendation was for denial based upon potential odor impacts from the poultry farm located
across Cottonwood Road. The owner of Farmer John Egg Company, (owner of the poultry farm)
expressed concern about a residential development across the street from his poultry farm.
Staff has met with applicant since the May 24, 2006 meeting, and the street and lot design has been
prepared that reflects industry standards regarding potential significant odor "thresholds." The new
street and lot design now depict in the southeast portion of the project an area in which there would
be no habitable structures. Non-residential uses such as landscaping, street, walls and drainage
sumps will be permitted within the area where odor impact is projected to be the greatest.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
With the required walls, landscaping, location of the sump and the required covenant over the
property (which alerts future property owners to the proximity of the poultry farm), staff believes the
odor issue has been resolved.
The applicant had appealed the Planning Commissions decision to deny the project

SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment/Zone Change 05-1928, Appealed (Ward"" Upon Annexation)
Porter-Robertson Engineering, representing Todd Sweaney, the property owner, has
applied for a general plan amendment and zone change on 38.86 acres located at the
northeast corner of Snow Road and Jewetta Avenue (future). An appeal of the Planning
Commission's decision was submitted by Harold W. Robertson.
1. Resolution approving the Negative Declaration, denying the appeal and adopting
the general plan amendment changing the land use designation from R-IA
(Resource-Intensive Agriculture) and ER (Estate Residential) to SR (Suburban
Residential) on the entire 38.86 acres
2. First reading of ordinance approving the Negative Declaration, amending Title 17
of the Municipal Code and amending Zoning Map No. 102-06 from A
(Agriculture) to E (Estate Residential) on 38.86 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving the Negative Declaration, denying the appeal and
adopting the general plan amendment and first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant filed an application seeking to change land use designations from R-IA and ER to SR on
32.07 acres north of the Calloway Canal. The applicant's exhibit showed the 2.56 acre canal right-of-
way within the commercial portion, and has proposed moving the canal slightly to the north. On the
6.79 acres south of the canal he had requested a commercial designation (GC).
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 15, 2006. Planning staff recommended the
canal and areas south of it be zoned C-1/PCD, because the site met the land use element's minimum
commercial acreage and location standards. Additionally, this portion has an irregular shape and will
incur substantial street right-of-way costs. The applicant objected to offsite street improvements
between the project site and the Friant-Kern Canal, but otherwise concurred with the staff report.
Dennis McLean, opposed the commercial use and expressed concerns regarding the land use conflicts
with abutting horses, increased traffic, and crime. He also felt the presence of the (open) canal limited
the amount of variety of commercial development that could occur in the proposed C-1/PCD portion of
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
the property. Planning Commissioners McGinnis, Blockley and Chair Lomas commented on the size of
the commercial land. Noting the site might only be enough to support a convenience market with gas
pumps (2.38 acres net). It was also noted that other applicants have relocated canals to create larger,
more viable (residential and commercial) projects. The Commission voted 4-1 to make the entire
property residential. Commissioner Tragish dissented, because he supported staff's commercial
recommendation.
The applicant filed an appeal on June 22, 2006 and stated two requests. The first is for the City
Council to approve the 6.79 acres commercial component. The second is to remove Public Works
Condition #14 which was added at the request of the Commission. This condition requires full street
improvements along the north side of Snow Road when any portion of the project area is improved.
The proposal, as recommended by the Planning Commission, would allow the development of 66
single family dwellings north of the Calloway Canal, and approximately 10 units south of the canal
alignment. No agencies opposed the June 15, 2006 request. An initial study determined the proposal
as conditioned would not have a significant effect on the environment. It is generally accepted that a
single family development has less impacts than a commercial development of the same acreage;
therefore, the negative declaration prepared and posted on May 25, 2006, in accordance with CEQA is
adequate for the 38.86 acres of residential development recommended by the Planning Commission.

SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment/Zone Change 05-1453 (Ward 4, upon annexation)
SmithTech/USA, Inc., representing Breckenridge Development Co., Inc., the property
owner, has applied for a general plan amendment and zone change on 90 acres located on
the east side of Coffee Road, north of Snow Road, and west of the Beardsley Canal.
1. Resolution approving the Negative Declaration and adopting the general plan
amendment changing the land use designation from SR (Suburban Residential) to
LR (Low Density Residential) on 90 acres.
2. First reading of ordinance approving the Negative Declaration, amending Title 17 of
the Municipal Code and amending Zoning Map No. 102-04 from A (Agriculture) to
R-1 (One Family Dwelling) on 90 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving the Negative Declaration and approving the
proposed general plan amendment and first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This item was considered by the City Council on May 14, 2006. The Council continued this item to the
June 7, 2006 meeting, at which time the Council continued the item to the next GPA cycle at the request
of the applicant.
Staff and Councilmember Couch met with the applicant and neighborhood property owners on July 12,
2006 and discussed the project and concerns of the neighbors. In response to that meeting the applicant
has proposed seven additional conditions to enhance the attributes of the project. The conditions are as
follows and have been added to the resolution recommending approval:
1. Roof mounted air conditioners shall not be permitted on homes with lots that abut Snow Road.
2. All homes on lots that abut Snow Road shall be single story.
3. There shall be one ingress and egress along Snow Road having right turn out only. Additional
ingress/egress may be permitted on Coffee Road.
4. The developer shall construct the entire median along the Snow Road frontage of the project site.
5. The maximum number of permitted dwelling units shall not exceed 370.
6. The roof material for all structures within the project area shall be tile.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
7. In lieu of customary builder's wood fences, in addition to any other fence or wall requirements, block
walls shall be constructed along subdivision entrances along the rear and side yards of lots at those
entrances that connect to Snow and Coffee Roads.
The applicant's original proposal included 10 acres of GC (General Commercial) on the corner of Snow
Road and Coffee Road. This portion of the applicant's request is inconsistent with general plan policy,
which encourages the % mile separation of new commercial designations from existing commercial
designations. The Planning Commission is recommending the denial of this portion of the request and the
applicant did not oppose this decision at the public hearing. Staff recommendation would allow for the
development of approximately 372 single-family residential units on the 90-acre project site.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this general plan amendment/zone change and
recommended approval to the City Council on April 6, 2006. F. Parker Peacock & T. Schroepfer
submitted comment letters to the Planning Department dated March 13, 2006, which are included in the
backup of this item. Mr. Peacock addressed the Planning Commission during the public hearing and
stated that the proposal would not be compatible with the adjacent SR (Suburban Residential) land use
designation located to the south of the project site. Correspondence from T. Schroepfer expressed his
opposition to the proposal and stated that it would not be compatible with the SR (Suburban Residential)
land use designation north or the project site. The original SR for the area was required because there
was no sewer available. The smallest lot size is X acre (SR) for the use of septic tanks and leach fields.
With the growth of the City into this area, sewers are now available. The request (to LR) is typical of urban
development within the City of Bakersfield and neither staff nor public agency has identified any
unresolved issue with this proposal and the provision of public services. In addition, conditions of approval
and mitigation measures which address agriculture, cultural resources, traffic, and air quality are
recommended as part of the project approval.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a significant effect
on the environment. Therefore, a Negative Declaration was prepared and posted on March 10, 2006, in
accordance with CEQA.

SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment/Zone Change 05-1947, Appealed (Ward 5/6 Upon Annexation)
Banducci Land, LLC, the property owner, has applied for a general plan amendment and
zone change on approximately 46 acres located at the northwest corner of Gosford Road
and McKee Road (future). An appeal of the Planning Commission's decision was
submitted by Brent Dezember.
1. Resolution approving the Negative Declaration, upholding the appeal modifying
conditions of approval, and adopting the general plan amendment changing the land
use designation from R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density
Residential) on approximately 46 acres.
2. First reading of ordinance approving the Negative Declaration and amending Title
17 of the Municipal Code and amending Zoning Map No. 123-32 from A (Agriculture
Zone) to R-1 (One-Family Dwelling Zone) on approximately 46 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
In accordance with a request from the applicant (see attached August 9, 2006 letter), staff recommends a
continuance of this item to August 30, 2006.
BACKGROUND:
Upon annexation into the City, the proposal would allow for the development of approximately 181 single-
family homes on the 46-acre project site.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this general plan amendment/zone change on
June 15, 2006, and continued this item to July 6, 2006, at which time they recommended approval to the
City Council. Anna Dezember, representing StructureCast, a precast concrete manufacturing facility to
the north of the site, testified during the June 15th public hearing. She stated that StructureCast is
concerned that the incompatibilities between their operations and the proposed residential development
have not been adequately addressed.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
An appeal of the recommendation of the Planning Commission by Brent Dezember on behalf of
StructureCast was received in the City Clerk's office on July 14, 2006. StructureCast is concerned that the
proposal as recommended by the Commission does not include an adequate buffer to protect their current
industrial facility.
The Planning Commission feels that the proposed conditions of approval and mitigation measures
sufficiently address potential interface issues, including a 10-foot high noise barrier along the northern
property line and a 100-foot setback between the northem property line and the nearest habitable
residential structure. Included in the backup material (attached to Negative Declaration) are letters dated
June 13, 2006, and July 3, 2006, from Giroux and Associates, Environmental Consultants, the preparer of
the air quality and noise studies for the proposal, responding to a letter from the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District and to interface issues raised by Ms. Dezember and the Commission.
Golden Empire Concrete operates a concrete batch plant at the southwest corner of Gosford Road and
McCutchen Road, immediately north of StructureCast. Various correspondence from the applicant,
StructureCast, and Golden Empire Concrete's attorney were provided to the Planning Commission and
are included in the backup material for this item.
Three recently approved General Plan Amendment/Zone Change proposals (04-0057, 04-1012, and 05-
0423) for residential development in the immediate vicinity have been approved by the City. It is staff's
understanding that the applicants for these three projects entered into private agreements with Golden
Empire Concrete and/or StructureCast addressing issues such as residential building setbacks and
heights, sound walls and other noise mitigation measures, and disclosure provisions prior to City approval
of these projects; neither Golden Empire Concrete nor StructureCast opposed any of these projects. The
applicant has attempted to enter into agreements with StructureCast and Golden Empire Concrete but has
not been successful. Although the conditions of approval imposed on these three projects by the City
Council were similar, they were tailored for each project in accordance with site-specific considerations.
Subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing, staff has re-reviewed the conditions of approval
imposed by Council on these three proposals. Based upon this review, staff recommends the addition of a
condition requiring the applicant to reimburse StructureCast for up to $20,000 for any sound muffling that
they may elect to construct on or around their concrete batch plant; a similar condition was imposed on all
three projects for the StructureCast and/or Golden Empire Concrete facilities.
StructureCast claims that their private agreement regarding GPAlZC 04-1012 does not permit any
residential lot to be situated within 100 feet of StructureCast's western property boundary; they anticipate
that this buffer area will contain a landscaped strip and a local street. The City Council imposed a
condition of approval on GPAlZC 04-1012 which prohibits habitable residential structures to be
constructed within the 100-foot buffer area, similar to the condition of approval recommended by staff and
the Planning Commission for this project. However, this condition of approval permits portions of
residential lots within the buffer area, such as deep lots with 100-foot rear yard setbacks. StructureCast's
preference is to prohibit residential lots within the buffer area. To the contrary, the Planning Commission
feels that it would be premature to impose such a restriction at this time; rather, they recommend that the
100-foot habitable residential structure setback be imposed and that further details regarding the ultimate
lot and street configuration be addressed at the tract map review stage. Upon further review of this issue
subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing, staff recommends that this condition be revised in
accordance with StructureCast's request. Staff feels that this would be prudent since the imposition of
such a restriction may be difficult to defend from a legal standpoint at the tract map stage if challenged by
the future subdivider, whereas the Council's ability to place such restrictions on General Plan Amendment
requests is much greater. Staff feels that the long-term compatibility of the proposed residential
development with StructureCast's operations would be enhanced if residential lots are excluded within the
setback area.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 3
Conditions of approval and mitigation measures which address air quality, cultural resources, noise, traffic,
and public improvements, and which require the inclusion of a disclosure provision regarding adjacent
industrial operations in residential grant deeds, are recommended as part of the project approval. The
applicant agreed to all conditions and mitigation for the project.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a significant effect
on the environment. Therefore, a negative declaration was prepared and posted on May 19, 2006, in
accordance with CEQA.

1. Resolution denying the general plan amendment changing the land use designation
from LI (Light Industrial) and HI (Heavy Industrial) to HMR (High Medium Density
Residential) on 39.29 acres.
2. Resolution denying the amendment to Title 17 of the Municipal Code and
amendment to Zoning Map No. 124-16 from M-1 (Limited Manufacturing) and M-3
(Heavy Industrial) to P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development) on 39.29 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the proposed general plan amendment and zone change.
BACKGROUND:
The proposal would allow for the development of 290 detached residential units, a public park, and a
drainage sump on the 39.29-acre project site.
The majority of the project site lies within the %-mile buffer area for the City of Bakersfield's Wastewater
Treatment Plant No.2, established by the Public Works Department to prevent the development of odor-
sensitive land uses, including residential development, in close proximity to this facility. Operations at the
treatment plant include collection, treatment and disposal of effluent. This is considered a heavy industrial
use that is not compatible with residential uses. Ponds and lagoons could pose a significant nuisance and
hazard to any non-industrial use within close proximity to the treatment plant. The applicant presented an
alternative proposal to the Planning Commission for their consideration, consisting of residential
development and a drainage sump within the southern half of the project site. Although residential
development would be set back further from the treatment plant under the alternative proposal, residential
development would encroach into the %-mile buffer area.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this general plan amendment/zone change on
June 15, 2006, and recommended denial to the City Council. No individuals or agencies present at the
hearing opposed the request.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a significant effect
on the environment. Therefore, a negative declaration was prepared and posted on May 17, 2006, in
accordance with CEQA.
