Bakersfield, California, March 5, 1986 Page 5 REPORTS Councilmember Ratty, Chairman of the Urban Development Committee, read Report No. 4-86 regarding funding for E.I.R. covering a 7 square mile annexation study area located in the south, southwest and west quadrants of the Bakersfield Metropolitan Area, as follows: On January 22, 1986, the City Council referred to the Urban Development Committee a request by the Development Services Department for supplemental funds for the development of an environmental impact report on a 7 square mile annexation study area (as shown on attached map) located in the south, southwest and west quadrant of the Bakersfield Metropolitan Area. The committee met with staff which outlined the area in question, identified properties which the owners had requested annexation, reviewed the need for an E.I.R. and the proposed funding of an E.I.R. The study area boundary is within the city's sphere of influence. The outer limits of the study area was determined by the city's ability to serve the area with sewer and other city services, property whose owners have requested annexation, city owned property and boundary lines which would exclude the urbanized areas of Greenfield and Pumpkin Center. The area to the south between Stine Road and Union Avenue and the Arvin Edison Canal and McKee Road (3-1/2 square miles) is planned for urban develop- ment in the Kern County's Year 2000 Plan. Subdivision and development of the area is now occurring according to that plan. The city owns Section 33, the site of Waste Water Treatment Plant and Farm No. 3. Staff advised, in its preliminary discussion with the Local Agency Formation Commission Executive Officer, LAFCO would require the preparation of an E.I.R. for annexation of any land within subject study area since it contains lands zoned and used for agriculture. The cost of an E.I.R., as estimated by QUAD con- sultants, would be between $35,000 and $40,000 depending on scope of the review and problems encountered. At the time this matter was referred, only $9,000 had been contributed by property owners within the area towards the E.I.R. However, addi- tional interest in annexation has resulted in a total of $20,000 being pledged. The Planning Department has $20,000 in the 85-86 budget ear- marked for the E.I.R. At this point, it does not appear that supplemental funding is necessary. Reconsideration may be given if costs exceed the budget estimate later. The E.I.R. should be done as soon as possible to analyze the environmental consequences for annexing this area in a comprehensive approach, to investi- gate impacts on agriculture and impacts from traf- fic, construction and the city's ability to provide service. This will not obligate the City to annex all or any portion of this area. Bakersfield, California, March 5, 1986 Page 6 This committee recommends that the city staff proceed with the preparation of the E.I.R. for the annexation study area but not augment additional funding for it at this time. Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Report No. 4-86 from the Urban Development Committee, regarding funding for E.I.R. covering a 7 square mile annexation study area located in the south southwest and west quadrants of the Bakersfield Metropolitan Area, was accepted and the recommendations approved. Councilmember Ratty, Chairman of the Urban Development Committee, read Report No. 5-86 regarding exchange of City Property for Tenneco Property, as follows: The City has received an offer of exchange of a 0.414 acre parcel of City land located on the south side of Truxtun Avenue westerly of the City Corporation Yard for a 0.869 acre parcel of Tenneco property located on the north side of Stockdale Highway opposite the entrance to Cal State Bakersfield College. The exchange of property will provide the City with additional access to the City owned property along the Kern River west of Coffee Road and will also provide better access to the bike path serving Ca] State. The City will quitclaim to Tenneco the unused parcel contiguous to other Tenneco owned property at the Truxtun Avenue site. This parcel has little value to the City because its street access is at a point where Truxtun Avenue is depressed for the Railroad Grade Separation. This Committee has met with the staff to review the proposed exchange and has determined that the exchange would be of equal benefit to both entities involved. The Committee recommends the City Council quitclaim the unused City land to Tenneco and accept the Grant Deed from Tenneco for land needed for access to the City owned property along the Kern River. The Planning Commission has determined that this exchange is consistent with the Genera] Plan of City. the Councilmember Ratty made a motion to accept Report No. 5-86 from the Urban Development Committee regarding Exchange of City Property for Tenneco Property and approve the recommendations. Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the call for the question was unanimously approved. Councilmember Ratty's motion to accept Report No. 5-86 from the Urban Development Committee regarding Exchange of City Property for Tenneco Property and approve the recommendations was approved with Councilmember Dickerson abstaining. Deputy City Manager Strenn City Manager regarding Commemoration follows: read Report No. 5-86 from the of Space Shuttle Crew, as At its February 5 meeting, the City Council directed staff to develop a plan for the dedication of a flagpole at the Airpark in commemoration of the Challenger space shuttle crew. Attached to this report is a design developed by the Public Works Department for a flagpole surrounded by a Bakersfield, California, March 5, 1986 - Page 7 small landscaped area. This design includes seven rocks, upon which plaques bearing the names of each of the shuttle crew members will be affixed. In addition, the flagpole itself will bear an inscribed plaque° Three sites have been identified as possible loca- tions for the flagpole. They are: Site #1 Southeast corner of Union Avenue and Watts Drive Estimated cost: $10,000 The exposure at this site would be primarily to high speed traffic on Union Avenue. Site #2 Northwest corner of existing Airpark Restaurant. Estimated cost: $4,000 This site would be both visible from Union Avenue and accessible to foot traffic from the parking area. Site #3 Southwest corner of Watts Drive and Madison Avenue Estimated cost: $12,000 This site is currently quite isolated; however, planned Airpark development is anticipated to increase the exposure of this location within the next few years. Staff recommends Site #2 on the basis of visual impact, maximum exposure and cost. I support this recommendation and further suggest that the Council authorize the use of savings within the General Fund community promotions program for this project in an amount not to exceed $4,000. Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the recommen- dations in City Manager Report No. 5-86 regarding Commemoration of Space Shuttle Crew were approved. This item was discussed further and an additional motion made, see Page 9. Deputy City Manager Strenn read report No. 6-86 from the City Manager regarding Structure of Council Meetings and Council Agendas, as follows: On February 19, 1986, the Council discussed the structure of Council meetings and Council agendas. Specifically, Council was interested in the fre- quency of meetings, the day of the week the meetings are held, and the placement of public hearings on the agenda. It should be noted that Council discussed this topic approximately one year ago. On May 8, 1985, (see Attachment No. 1 for Council minutes) the Council suggested that the Mayor, City Manager, City Attorney, and the City Clerk meet to discuss streamlining and improving the agenda process. As a result of meetings held by this group, the attached rules and procedures of the City Council of the City of Bakersfield were approved and pro- mulgated (see Attachment No. 2). Bakersfield, California, March 5, 1986 - Page 8 On June 12, 1985, (see Attachment No. 3) Council requested the establishment of a rules and proce- dures ad hoc committee comprised of the Mayor, Councilmember Rockoff, and Councilmember Dickerson to discuss the same topic. To date, this committee has not met. I would recommend that if Council is interested in pursuing this topic that another ad hoe committee be formed. Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty an Ad Hoc Committee was formed composed of Mayor Payne, Councilmembers Salvaggio and Dickerson.
