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.
