Item 8d. Resolution of Intention addina Area 2-24 (Schirra Court West) to the Consolidated
Maintenance District. A request has been received from the property owner to be included into the
Consolidated Maintenance District to provide for maintenance of median landscaping. This area will
be under the streetscape zone of benefit and assessed an amount for street tier 1.
Item 8e. Resolution of Intention to add Area 3-14 ~McKee, 99 SW) to the Consolidated Maintenance
District. A request has been received from the property owner to include this area in the
Consolidated Maintenance District. This area will be under the park and streetscape zones of
benefit. When a park has been constructed and street landscaping has been installed, the area will
be assessed an amount for park tier I and street tier 2.
Item 8f. Resolution amendinq the official list of desi(3nated speed zones. This resolution establishes
speed zones, which can be enforced by radar on roadways within the City. A listing of the roadway
segments proposed to have a speed zone change is included within the administrative report.
Item 80_. Resolution determining that a Grit Classifier for use at Wastewater Treatment Plant 2
cannot be obtained throu(]h the usual biddino Dr0cedures and authorize the Finance Director to
dispense with biddinQ, not to exceed $35,500. The Grit Classifier currently in use at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant has been in service for 20 years and is in need of replacement. Staff is
recommending replacing the Grit Classifier with an identical unit, which will not require redesign of
existing piping and support structure. Therefore, we are recommending dispensing with standard
bidding procedures to purchase this item.
Item 8h. Amendment to Resolution setting salaries and benefits for Officers and Employees of the
General SuDervisorv. Police Supervisory and ManaQement Units and adoDtin(~ salary schedule and
related benefits for General Services Superintendent. The General Services Superintendent position
is currently vacant. Therefore, staff has reviewed the salary and is recommending that it be made
equivalent to the other Public Works superintendent positions in the Construction, Fleet, Solid
Waste, Streets and Wastewater Divisions. This reflects a 5% reduction to the General Services
Superintendent salary.
Item 8i. Amendment to Resolution setting salaries and benefits for Officers and Employees of the
General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and Management Units and adopting salary schedule and
related benefits for Assistant City Clerk. The Assistant City Clerk position is currently vacant. We
received an inadequate number of technically qualified applicants for the recent Statewide
recruitment, Internal applicants are practically qualified, but the technical specifications are too strict.
After reviewing the job specification, we find that we must revise the minimum qualifications in order
to expand the applicant pool for this position. In light of this fact, we are also recommending
lowering the salary approximately 6% to the equivalent of other internal positions with similar
requirements.
Item 8j. Amendment to Resolution settino salaries and related benefits for the Temporary Unit
(deletin(] Student Held and Student Intern classificationS. The temporary classifications of student
help and student intern are no longer working classifications used by the City of Bakersfield. Staff
is recommending deleting these classifications from the salary schedule. These types of positions
are now obtained through the use of our outside temporary service.

Aareements:
Item 81. A(3reement with Valley Groundcovers, LLC for the sale of compost. The City's Mt. Vernon
Recycling Facility processes curb-side greenwaste into a usable agricultural blend compost. In order
to obtain the highest price possible for this product, staff sent out request for quotations to a list of
potential purchasers. Valley Groundcovers has submitted an offer to purchase this compost at $5.30
per ton. Prior to this agreement, the City had been receiving .25¢ per ton for finished compost. Staff
anticipates revenues of approximately $79,500 from this program. The sale of compost will assist
the City in reaching our 50% diversion goal prescribed by AB 939.
Item 8m. Aareement with Delano Energy Company, Inc. for the sale of wood chips. The City's Mt.
Vernon Recycling Facility processes greenwaste, such as branches, timber and brush, among other
things by grinding them into wood chips, which can be used in a variety of ways, such as mulch
compost mix or as co-generation fuel. With the current demand for energy, the Solid Waste Division
sent out an RFP to potential customers soliciting their proposals for use of these chips with the hope
that the current energy demand would help increase the price received for this material and increase
revenues from the Mt. Vernon Greenwaste Facility. In response to this RFP, Delano Energy
Company has submitted an offer that they be allowed to purchase this compost at $6.13 per ton.
This is a significant improvement over previous agreements paying the City $1.00 per ton for wood
chips. Staff anticipates revenues of approximately $91,950 from this program. The sale of wood
chips will also assist the City in reaching the 50% diversion goal prescribed by AB 939.
Item 8n. Aqreement with Ingram's Janitorial, Inc. to provide janitorial and hardscape maintenance
at the Amtrak Station, not to exceed $88,800 annually. Staff sent out requests for proposals (RFPs)
for janitorial and hardscape maintenance services for the Bakersfield Amtrak Station. Staff received
three proposals and is recommending an agreement with Ingram's Janitorial, not to exceed $88,800
annually.
Item 80. Aoreement with California State University, Bakersfield for acquisition and installation of
bike racks on campus. Cai State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) has an ongoing program to install
bicycle racks on campus to encourage bicycle use. The City as a member of Kern Council of
Governments (Kern COG) previously submitted an application on behalf of CSUB requesting TDA
Article 3 Funds for bike racks. Kern COG approved the application and allocated the funds to the
City. This agreement provides for the transfer of these grant funds to pay for the acquisition and
installation of the bike racks by CSUB.
Item 8o. Aareement for development of park site in the River Oaks development. The Bakersfield
Municipal Code requires all new residential development to provide parkland and park development.
Coleman Homes is developing and subdividing property located between Stockdale Highway and
the Kern River Canal, Buena Vista Road and South Allen Road, commonly known as the "River
Oaks" development. Coleman homes dedicated a 10-acre park, located along the south side of the
Kern River Levee, to the City in September 1999 satisfying the parkland requirement for this
development. Coleman Homes is interested in developing the park in three phases with the
understanding that it will be reimbursed by the City with Park Development Fees collected by the City
from subdivisions within the same improvement zone as River Oaks. This will allow for prompt
development of the park.

generated by the City's Single and Multi-Family Rehabilitation programs. The City also provides
commercial loans to companies that meet certain HUD guidelines. All of these programs involve
loan-servicing activities. USE has been handling these services for the City since 1995 and their
contract recently expired. A request for proposals was sent to four companies that were qualified
and interested in pedorming loan servicing services for the City. Staff received only one bid for

Bids:
Item 8v. Bid award for annual contracts for water meters to Badqer Meter, Incorporated. not to
exceed $125.000: and Hersev Meters Companv, not to exceed $45.000. Total of $170.000. This
contract provides for the purchase of water meters for commercial and residential developments in
the City. Staff received four acceptable bids and is recommending awarding two contracts with six
items to Badger Meter, not to exceed $125,000; and six items to Hersey Meters Company in an
amount not to exceed $45,000.
Item 8w. Bid award for traffic signal and lightin(] modifications on State Route 178 (24th Street) at
F Street and State Route 178 (24th Street) at Chester Avenue to Loop Electric in the amount of
$174,841. This project was originally budgeted in a prior fiscal year and at the time was proposed
as a traffic signal for the intersection of Beech Street and State Route 178. As the City and CalTrans
further discussed this project with Councilmembers and the neighborhood, it became apparent there
was a concern that additional traffic would develop on the side streets of the signalized intersection.
Based on neighborhood meetings, it was agreed that other safety improvements for 24th Street
should be explored. As a result, the proposed project will upgrade the two traffic signals on 24th
Street at F Street and Chester Avenue.
Since the original project was conceived as only one new traffic signal, and the revised project
consists of a flashing pedestrian crossing beacon and the major modification of two existing traffic
signals, additional funds are needed to complete the funding for the project. Staff recommends
transferring these additional funds from the currently budgeted Street Maintenance Chip/Slurry Seal
Project within the Gas Tax Fund in the amount of $120,000.
Item 8x. Bid award for traffic siqnal interconnect at various locations in the City of Bakersfield to
Braun Construction, Inc. in the amount of $488.981.58. This item is a continuation of the City's
traffic signal interconnect program as part of the City Master Signal Communication Plan. Federal
funds will cover 88.53% of the project cost with the remainder coming from the Gas Tax Funds.

not to exceed $488,981.58.

responded to a chlorine leak incident on November 27, 1999. The responsible party was Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad. The railroad has reimbursed the City for its expenses incurred as a
result of this leak. This appropriation provides funds to make a payment to the County for their costs
and also to replace Fire Department equipment damaged during this incident.
Item 8ee. Appropriate $557,212 PG&E rebate to the Public Works General Fund Operating Budget
for ourchase of Light Emittin(3 Diode (]reen lights. The State of California Department of
Transportation has approved the use of LED green lights as a traffic control device. These lights
are more cost effective to operate than the incandescent lights currently in operation. The Public
Works Department is proposing to change green lights at all of the City's 253 traffic signals from
incandescent to the LED type. The purchase cost for the LED lights totals $557,212. PG&E will
provide a rebate to cover 100% of the purchase cost for all LED green lights installed prior to June 1,
2001. PG&E is estimating the City's annual electricity cost savings at current rates to be $150,000.

DEFERRED BUSINESS
Item 11a. Ordinance amendina the Bakersfield Municipal Code and Zone Moo by changing the
zonina from a Planned Commercial Develooment Zone to a Planned Commercial Develooment Zone
on 4.05 acres, located on the west side of Callowav Drive. between Meacham Road and Rosedale
Hiahwa¥. The proposed ordinance was given first reading at the City Council meeting of
December 13, 2000. Staff has received no additional comments and recommends adoption of the
ordinance.
Item 1 lb. Multi-Purpose Stadium: At the request of Mayor Hall and Vice-Mayor Salvaggio, the City
Manager will give an update on the City Center Project. This item also includes an agreement
between the City and Rossetti Associates in the amount of $95,000 to prepare documents necessary
to obtain a guaranteed maximum price on the stadium. The City has received one-half the cost of
this work from the owners of the Blaze, the Pattons, and included in the administrative report is a
copy of a letter from the California League of Professional Baseball indicating they are working with
the Pattons and will be able to deliver a quality owner under the terms of the attached lease outline.
Negotiations are currently under way with a prominent Southern California Sports Marketing
company.
While the cost of a multi-purpose stadium can be professionally estimated, the actual final cost to
the City for the City Council to consider for this development can only be accurately determined with
an actual price obtained from a contractor/developer team prepared to deliver the project. In order
to obtain this information, an initial set of documents outlining such things as the scope of the
project, schematic drawings and material quality are needed so they can be distributed to
prospective design-built teams. Should the project subsequently be approved by the Council, a
contract would be entered into between the City and a design-build team to actually prepare detailed
design and construction documents for the stadium. The City's share of the $95,000 is proposed
to come from the Transient Occupancy Tax fund balance that has resulted from the decrease in the
Convention Center operating loss.

Crawford-Muhammad submitted a letter to the Mayor and Council (which is included in the packet)
requesting that a number of issues included in the letter be agendized for Council discussion. Staff
has drafted a letter of response to the issues detailed in Mr. Crawford-Muhammad's letter on the

that an item be placed on the agenda so the Council can discuss the potential impacts of possible
electric shortages and increased utility rates on residents of the City. Correspondence to Governor
Davis regarding this matter may be considered by the Council Included as backup in the
administrative report are recent articles pertaining to the energy crisis as well as excerpts from the
text of the Governor's State of the State message, which outlines his proposals to deal with the
problems in the long and short terms.
Item 12c. Establish dates and location for City Council aoal setting session. The Vice-Mayor has
requested that this item be placed on the Council agenda for determination by the Council to set the
time and location for a City Council goal setting session. The last goal setting session was
conducted on May 1, 1999 at Centennial Garden Arena. Since that time, work has been completed
towards many of the existing goals and this progress needs to be updated. Additionally, there are
two new Councilmembers and a new Mayor. Typically these sessions have been a full day meeting,
with the Mayor, the entire Council, and staff from the City Manager's Office and the City Attorney.
The meeting is open to the public and to the press to attend.

Appointment of Economic Development Director as regular member and Economic
Development Principal Planner as the alternate member to the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
Terms expiring December 1, 2003; appointment of Building Director as regular member and
Assistant Building Director as Development Services alternate, term expiring December 1,
2002; appointment of Public Works Director as regular member and Engineering Services
Manager as Public Works alternate member term expiring December 1, 2001.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
With the recent departure of both the Economic Development Director and the Public Works Director,
alternate members have been serving as the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Additionally, changes to the
Ordinance made in February 2000, caused all alternate positions to expire in December 2000. The current
ordinance requires each alternate to be appointed for the same term as the member for whom he or she
serves as ah alternate.
These appointments will fill the vacancies and establish the expiration dates for the members and alternates
in accordance with the Ordinance. Also, using position titles rather than names will eliminate additional
Council action in the event of a mid-term vacancy.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment is an advisory body to the City Council, composed of three (3) staff members
and appointed by the full Council. The Board administers zoning ordinances, modifications to zoning
standards and conducts hearings rendering decisions on applications for conditional use permits and
modifications subject to the provisions of the zoning ordinance regulating the granting of the permits.
Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 3:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers.

Any street which does not ffllinto the categories listed in numbers 1, 2 and 3above. (CVC
Sections 22349.a. and 40802)
The California State Legislature revised the California Vehicle Code (CVC) effective January I, 1997 to set
the maximum speed limit at 65 mph.
The CVC allows the 25 m.p.h, speed limit to be raised (Section 22357) or the 65 m.p.h, speed limit to be
lowered (Section 22358) to facilitate the smooth orderly flow of traffic. This increase or reduction is done by
an "Engineering and Traffic Survey". The survey must be done in accordance with State mandated procedures
and must be renewed every five (5) years.
The speed limit which is proposed in the subject resolution has been established as a result of an "Engineering
and Traffic Survey".

Resolution determining that a Grit Classifier for use at Wastewater Treatment Plant
2 cannot be obtained through the usual bidding procedures and authorize the
Finance Director to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $33,500.00.
(Ward 1 )
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A Grit Classifier removes sand and other heavy solid particles from the waste stream
reducing wear on plant equipment. The Grit Classifier currently used has been in service 20 years and
has served its useful life and needs to be replaced in order to avoid excessive equipment wear in other
processes.
Staff is recommending replacing the Grit Classifier with an identical unit which will not require redesign
of existing piping and support structure. Therefore, we are recommending dispensing with standard
bidding procedures to purchase the Grit Classifier. This item is budgeted in the fiscal year 2000-01
Capital Outlay budget.

Services Superintendent
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The General Services Superintendent position is currently vacant. Therefore, we are taking this opportunity
to adjust the salary to make it equivalent with the other Public Works Superintendent positions in
Construction, Fleet, Solid Waste, Streets and Wastewater. These are internally comparable positions. This
reflects a 5% reduction to the General Services Superintendent salary.
SUMMARY
The only budgetary impact will be salary savings because of the reduction in salary grade.

Revised Job Specification and Change to Salary Schedule
1)
Amendment No. 9 to Resolution No. 108-99 setting salaries and related benefits for
Officers and Employees of the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and
Management Units and adopting salary schedule and related benefits for Assistant City
Clerk
2) Revised Job Specification: Assistant City Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the revised job specification.
BACKGROUND:
The Assistant City Clerk position is currently vacant. We received an inadequate number of qualified
applicants for the recent state-wide recruitment that closed on December 22, 2000. After reviewing the job
specification, we find that we must revise the minimum qualifications in order to expand the applicant pool for
this position. In light of this fact, we also recommend lowering the salary approximately 6% to be equivalent
to other internal positions with similar requirements.
SUMMARY
The revised job specification will be presented to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their January 16,
2001 meeting. The only budgetary impact will be salary savings because of the reduction in salary grade.

Agreement with Valley Groundcovers, LLC for the sale of compost.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield's Mt. Vernon Recycling Facility processes curbside
greenwaste that was picked up from green carts placed by residents and delivered to the facility,
into a usable, agricultural blend compost. Presently, there is a sizable volume of this compost
being produced annually that is of sufficient quality and quantity to be made available for sale
through this agreement, to a qualified bidder. The sale of this material through this agreement
will also help the city to receive some revenues to help offset the cost of the program.
Therefore, in order to obtain the highest price possible for this product, staff sent out Requests
for Quotations to a list of potential purchasers. Valley Groundcover LLC has submitted an offer
that they be allowed to purchase this compost at $5.30/ton. This is a significant improvement
over previous agreements and suggests that the quality of the product and the success of the
program continues to improve. Prior to this agreement, the City has been receiving $.25/ton for
finished compost. At approximately 15,000 tons of compost sales anticipated for the period
covered in this agreement, the City anticipates revenues of $79,500 from this program.
Approval of this agreement, in conjunction with a wood chips agreement also submitted for City
Council approval, will help the City reach their 50% diversion goals prescribed by AB939.

Agreement with Delano Energy Company, Inc. for the sale of wood chips.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The City's Mt. Vernon Recycling Facility processes green waste such as
branches, lumber, and brush among other things, by grinding them into wood chips. These wood
chips can be used in a variety of ways, as a mulch, in a compost mix, and as cogeneration fuel.
With the current demand for energy, the Solid Waste Division sent out an RFP to potential
customers soliciting their proposals for use of these chips, with the hope that the current energy
demand would help increase the price received for this material and increase revenues from the
Mount Vernon Green Waste Facility.
In response to this RFP, Delano Energy Company, Inc. has submitted an offer that they be
allowed to purchase this compost at $6.13/ton. This is a significant improvement over previous
agreements and suggests that the quality of the product and the success of the program
continues to improve. Prior to this agreement, the City has been receiving $1.00/ton for wood
chips. At approximately 15,000 tons of wood chips sales anticipated for the period covered in
this agreement, the city anticipates revenues of $91,950 from this program, helping the City
recoup some of the costs of the green waste program.
Approval of this agreement, in conjunction with a compost agreement submitted separately for
City Council approval, will help the city reach their 50% diversion goals prescribed by AB939.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapters 15.80 and 15.82 require all new residential development to
provide park land and park development,
Coleman Homes is developing and subdividing real property generally located between Stockdale
Highway, the Kern River Canal, Buena Vista Road and South Allen Road (extended), and commonly known
as the "River Oaks" development. Coleman Homes dedicated a 10-acre park (herein "Park") located along
the south side of the Kern River levee to the City on September 24, 1999, satisfying the park land requirement
of BMC Chapter 15.80 for.the River Oaks development.
Coleman Homes is interested in developing the Park in three (3) phases with the understanding that
it will be reimbursed by City with park development fees collected by City from subdivisions within the same
improvement zone as River Oaks. This will allow for prompt development of the Park. The proposed
Agreement addresses the specific plans for the development of the Park and reimbursement of development
fees to Coleman Homes. The Agreement also requires that Coleman Homes post a $518,000 bond to cover
the value of the Park improvements.

Agreement with Carosella Properties, Inc. a California Corporation, and Charles H. Tolfree,
as Trustee of the Tolfree Family Trust for a one time contribution of $35,000 to convey real
property located at the Southeast corner of Snow Road and Golden State Highway in the
County of Kern, for the construction of a City of Bakersfield Entry Monument Sign.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
In 1995 The Future Bakersfield Foundation began discussions regarding improving the City of Ba.kersfield's
image. It was decided there was a need to construct entry monument signs that would denote the quality of
our City, and as a result, the entry monument sign project was conceived.
The 2020 Vision Committee and the Image Committee of the Chamber of Commerce also recommended
monument signs as a way to improve the City image.
The City of Bakersfield's Community Services Committee began work on this project about eighteen months
ago and started receiving public input as the concept of constructing entry monuments was peaced on the
internet for design suggestions. 8 original designs were initially developed. The designs were evaluated by
community groups and the Mayor's Economic Committee. Consensus was achieved and a design was
selected.
The California Transportation Authority rules does not allow for the monuments to be built within State right
of way along any state highway. Therefore, City staff has been working with Kern County for use of County
owned property for the location of an entry monument sign south of Bakersfield near Mckee Road and
Highway 99. With no other Public Agency property availabl~ for use Staff has had to negotiate with private
property owners for a suitable site on the North side of the City visible from Highway 99. These negotiations
were not productive due to the owners unwillingness to sell such a small area with power and water available
and suitable for signage, but rather wanted a monthly rent comparable with the current outdoor advertising
rates for comparable size signs. These rates can range upwards of $2,000 per month depending on visibility,
DIk:C:\Documents and Settings~lhaynes\Local Settings\Tem p\entrymonum ent 11701.wpd
January 9, 2001, 10:14am
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
power availability and size of sign. Negotiations with Carosella Properties produced an agreement to convey
title to 3,850 square feet of high visibility property with power available for the monument in exchange for a
one-time contribution of $35,000 towards the owner's construction cost of a water line to service the property
and surrounding properties belonging to the owner.
The City's offer to accept the property is contingent upon the following:
a. A favorable environmental site assessment to be performed by the City.
b. Owner's ability to provide clear title as defined in the agreement.
Co
A favorable Government Code Section 65402 review finding by the Bakersfield Planning
Commission.
Funding for this project is included in the FY 2000-01 Capital Improvement Budget in the amount of
$175,000. Time is of the essence in this agreement.

Award contract to USE Community Services Group, Inc. (USE), not to exceed $45,000 for
loan servicing of loans funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). (WARDS ALL)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1979, the City of Bakersfield has been involved in providing housing programs for Iow and moderate
income residents utilizing Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership funds (HOME). Housing loans are primarily generated by the City's Single and Multi-Family
Rehabilitation programs. The City also provides commercial loans to companies that meet certain HUD
guidelines. All of these programs involve loan servicing activities such as processing payments, monitoring
for insurance compliance, monitoring property tax payments, processing reconveyance requests and initiating
foreclosure proceedings at the City's request. USE has been handling these services for the City since 1995
and their contract recently expired. The attached agreement is recommended for approval to allow the City
to continue using USE for loan services over a three year period
Because of federal and local requirements, a new competitive procurement for loan servicing was initiated.
An RFP was sent out to four companies that were qualified and interested in performing loan servicing
services for the City; USE, Rehab Financial Corporation, Wynwood Agency of California, Inc., and West Star
Loan Servicing, Inc. Staff received only one bid for these services and it was from USE. Staff conducted a
complete analysis of USE's past performance and future expectations and concluded that USE should
continue providing loan servicing services for the City. The cost to deliver the services to the City will be paid
for out of current and future fiscal year HOME and CDBG funds and will not exceed $45,000 over a three year
period (the length of the agreement, $15,000 per fiscal year).
DIk:

The USE proposal includes the following services; monitoring of each file for compliance with hazard
insurance and property tax requirements, intake and processing of all loan payments, issuance of yearly
statements and tax forms to all homeowners, collections and foreclosures at City request, new loan set-ups,
reconveyances, and other reporting requirements set-up by the City. While these services could be handled
by City staff, utilizing the expertise of USE provides for the most efficient use of staff time in continued
delivery of timely and professional service to our clients.

Traffic signal and lighting modifications on State Route 178 (24th Street) at F Street and
State Route 178 (24th Street) at Chester Avenue:
1. Accept bid to award contract to Loop Electric, $174,841.
Transfer $120,000 of Capital Improvement Program Budget Appropriations from the
Street Maintenance Chip/Slurry Seal Project to the Traffic Signal and Lighting
Modifications along State Route 178 Project within the Gas Tax Fund. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of Iow bid, award of contract, and approval of transfer.
BACKGROUND: This project was originally budgeted in a prior fiscal year and at the time was proposed as
a traffic signal for the intersection of Beech Street and State Route 178 (24th Street). There was a desire by
the Westchester neighborhood at that time to try and slow traffic on State Route 178 through their area, and
there was initial neighborhood support for a traffic signal at this location. Butas City and Caltrans staff further
discussed this project with City Council members and with the neighborhood, it became apparent that
additional traffic would develop on the side streets of the signalized intersection, and the exhaust and noise
from idling and accelerating vehicles from this traffic signal were all undesirable results to the neighborhood
that were deemed more important to them then their desire to slow traffic through the area.
Based on a well attended neighborhood meeting held at the City Council Chambers in the Fall of 1999, it was
agreed that perhaps other safety improvements for 24th Street should be explored. This resulted in the
currently under construction flashing beacon at the pedestrian crosswalk across 24th Street at Alder Street,
raised median islands planned for construction later this month between 234 and 24th Streets on F Street and
Chester Avenue, and the upgrading of traffic signals at 23rd Street and F Street, 23r~ Street and Chester
Avenue, 24~ Street and F Street, and 24th Street and Chester Avenue. Caltrans has already upgraded the
two signals on 23~d Street, and this project will upgrade the two traffic signals on 24~ Street.
As the original project was conceived as only one new traffic signal and the revised project consists of a
flashing pedestrian crossing beacon and the major modification of two existing traffic signals, additional funds
are needed to complete funding for the project. Staff recommends transferring these additional funds from
the currently budgeted Street Maintenance Chip/Slurry Seal Project.

To appropriate prior year unanticipated $7,720 Hazardous Spill Response revenue to the Fire
Department Operating budget within the General Fund for the reimbursement of expenses
incurred due to the November 27, 1999 chlorine leak.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND: The Bakersfield Fire Department responded to a chlorine leak incident on November 27,
1999. The responsible party was Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. The amount was billed and realized
as revenue in the 1999-00 fiscal year. The Railroad reimbursed the City $36,138.26 on July 21, 2000.
The Bakersfield Fire Department was the lead agency on this incident. Therefore, the Fire Department billed
Burlington Northern Santa Fe the charges incurred by the responding agencies. The agencies and their'
respective charges are as follows: Bakersfield Police Department, $873; the Bakersfield Fire Department,
$29,295; and the Kern County Fire Department, $5,970.
The reimbursement was not received in the same fiscal year as the charges were incurred. As a result, the
appropriation of $7,720 consists of the payment to Kern County Fire for $5,970, and to the Bakersfield Fire
Department, $1,750, for damaged equipment. The majority of the charges to the Railroad were for salaries.
Since the salaries were expended in the prior fiscal year, the General fund received the revenue, not the
individual City departments, Fire and Police.

Appropriate $557,212 PG&E Rebate to the Public Works General Fund Operating
Budget for purchase of Light Emitting Diode (LED) green lights. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND: The State of California Department of Transportation has approved the use of LED green
lights as a traffic control device. LED green lights are more cost effective to operate than the incandescent
lights currently in operation. The Public Works Department is proposing to change green lights at all of
the City's 253 traffic signals from incandescent to LED type.
The purchase cost for the LED lights total $557,212. PG&E will provide a rebate to cover 100% of the
purchase costs for all LED green lights installed prior to June 1, 2001.
PG&E has estimated the City's annual electricity cost savings, at current rates, to be $150,000.

The owners of the above-mentioned properties failed to commence the required work as ordered by the
Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal
Code, the public nuisances listed above were abated under the direction of the Chief Code Enforcement
Officer. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed against the property as provided for in Chapter 8.80
of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Property owners have been given notice of their right to appear at the
hearing on this matter and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public
nuisance.
The Council will need to confirm the costs incurred by the City for work performed to remove the public
nuisance and order that such costs be made a lien against the property. This will be done by adoption of the
attached resolution. The Council, in its discretion, may amend, alter, modify or correct the assessment as
the Council deems just.

Protest hearing as required by Resolution of Intention No. 1226 proposing to add territory,
Area 4-20, (Panorama, Boise).
Resolution adding territory, Area 4-20, (Panorama, Boise) to the Consolidated
Maintenance District and confirming the assessments, approving the Public Works
Director's Report and authorizing collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax
Collector. 0Nard 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends overriding protests and adopting the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: This hearing is to hear protests on adding median landscaping (including turf, shrubs and
trees) in Panorama Drive between Bluff Street and Columbus Street to the Consolidated Maintenance District.
If this area is not added to the Consolidated Maintenance District median improvements will be constructed
to a lesser standard.
Area 4-20 is generally bounded by a line 1/4 mile north of Panorama Drive on the north, Columbus Street on
the east, Christmas Tree Lane on the south and Bluff Street on the west. Notices and ballots were sent out
to each property owner within the area.
As of January 4, 2001, 149 ballots have been returned, with 54% (weighted by assessment amount) in favor
of adding this area to the Consolidated Maintenance District. Ballots may be received up to the close of the
protest hearing. This area will be under the streetscape zone of benefit and when median landscape
improvements have been installed, assessed an amount for street tier 1.
The addition of this territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District complies with the requirements of
Proposition 218.

SUBJECT:
An Ordinance amending Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and Zone Map
No. 102-19 by changing the zoning from a PCD (Planned Commercial Development) Zone
to a PCD (Planned Commercial Development) Zone on 4.05 acres generally located on the
west side of Calloway Drive, between Meacham Road and Rosedale Highway. (Zone Change
P00-0723) (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On December13, 2000, the City Councilheld firstreading ofthe ordinance. No one protested the
zone change.
On November 16, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending approval of
the zone change request made by Marino Associates (applicant), representing Derrel's Mini Storage.
The request is to change the zoning from a PCD (Planned Commercial Development) zone to a PCD
(Planned Commercial Development) zone on the 4.05 acre site.
The proposed zone change is necessary to comply with a previous site development condition. The
applicant proposes to develop the subject site as a recreational vehicle parking area for about 200
vehicles, approximately 100 of which will be covered with portable carports ranging in height from 9
% feet to 16 % feet high. As part of the request, the applicant is proposing 2 inches of gravel in lieu
of A.C. pavement in the RV storage area and approval of a 10 foot high, 12 foot - 2 inch wide red
brick monument sign in place of the previously approved 23 foot high 160 square foot pylon sign.
The request is consistent with the site's GC (General Commercial) general plan designation and with
"mini-storage" warehouse development on adjacent property to the north and west. Staff also
believes that, due to the relatively Iow intensity of the RV parking use, the request is compatible with
the C-2 zoning to the south and with residential zoning to the east.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
At the Planning Commission hearing on November 16, 200, several Commissioners expressed
concern regarding the type of physical barrier the applicant proposes to construct along the site's
frontage on Calloway Drive. The Commission added a condition that a block wall or wood frame
stucco wall should be required along the project frontage on Calloway Drive (Exhibit A, Condition 7).
No public opposition has been received regarding this project.
No one spoke for or against the zone change request during the Planning Commission hearing.
All required public notices have been given. Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff
has determined the proposed project will not significantly affect the physical environment or existing
residential development in the area. Therefore, a Negative Declaration was prepared and is
recommended for adoption.

Multi-Purpose Stadium: (Ward 2)
DEPARTMENT HEAD .~
Update from City Manager on City Center Project (Requested by Mayor Hall and Vice
Mayor Salvaggio)
Approve agreement between the City of Bakersfield and Rossetti Associates to
prepare documents necessary for contractor submission of a Guaranteed Maximum
Price ($95,000.00).
o
Appropriate $47,500 contribution and $47,500 Transient Occupancy Tax fund balance
to the Public Works Operating Budget in the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of reports, agreement and appropriations.
BACKGROUND: While the cost of a multi-purpose stadium can be professionally estimated, the actual final
cost to the City for the City Council to consider in their decision process for this development can only be
accurately determined with an actual price obtained from a contractor/developer team prepared to deliver the
project.
In order to obtain this information, an initial set of documents outlining such things as the scope of the project,
schematic drawings, and material quality are needed so that they can be distributed to prospective design-
build teams for their submission of a guaranteed maximum price to build a stadium.
This agreement will allow development of this initial set of documents from which a design-build team could
develop a guaranteed maximum price. Should the project then subsequently be approved by the Council,
a contract would then be entered into between the City and a design-build team to actually prepare detailed
design and construction documents for the stadium.
The City has received funds from the local professional baseball team that will pay for half of the cost of these
initial documents ($47,500). The remaining funding for the contract would come from Transient Occupancy
Tax fund balance that has resulted from the decrease in the Convention Center operating loss.
Rossetti has been working with the City and developer to help us get to this stage. They have designed the
Centennial Garden and the Amtrak Station for us. Both projects have won major awards for excellence.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The next phase of the design work will be based on an RFP process of qualified architects and contractors.
Rossetti Associates are likely to compete along with others. This phase of the work on the Centennial Garden
was done by HOK. Rossetti, in the end, won that RFP design.
The City has received 1/2 of the cost of this work from the owners of the Blaze, the Pattons. Attached is a copy
of a letter from the California League of Professional Baseball indicating that they are working with the
Pattons, and will be able to deliver a quality owner under the terms of the attached lease outline. Negotiations
are currently underway with a prominent Southern California Sports Marketing company. Others are on a
waiting list should that option not be finalized.
Also attached, as update materials, are a copy of the GRC Study Summary, a copy of remaining information
items to arrive on this topic, and an updated sheet on the financing of this project.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council determination.
BACKGROUND:
The Vice-Mayor has requested that this item be placed on the Council agenda for determination by the
Council. The last City Council goal setting session was conducted on May 1, 1999 at the Centennial Garden
Arena. Since that time, work has been completed towards many of the existing goals and this progress
needs to be updated in the council goals. Additionally, there are two new Councilmembers and a new
Mayor.
At past goal setting sessions, the City Council has generally worked from the base of the previous goals
modifying them as needed and adding new major or minor goals as desired, It is anticipated that information
such as significant items discussed at the upcoming department head retreat and other community input
such as the soon to be released Vision 2020 recommendations will be available for the Council to consider
in the goal setting session. Typically, the sessions have been a full day meeting with the Mayor, the entire
Council and staff from the City Manager's Office and the City Attorney. The meeting is open to the public
and the press to attend,
This item provides for consideration by the Council of dates and a location for a goal setting session.
