MEMORANDUM
September 27, 1996
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY CO/U~'f
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Attached is a listing of conventions that have been booked by the CVB since the Holiday
Inn Select has opened, beginning from 1995 through 2002. Per a Council request, it
designates the many "new" ones booked since the new hotel opened.
2. The Water Resources Department has done an analysis of the possible effects Proposition
218 could have on their operation. The memorandum is enclosed for your information.
The League of California Cities report on Proposition 218 is also enclosed.
3. A progress report on the formation of the Chester Avenue Maintenance District is enclosed.
It's going well.
4. An estimated schedule of events relating to the City of Shafter/Free Trade Zone is attached.
Per the request of their City Manager, we will be meeting on this subject next week.
5. Per the enclosed memorandum, we are required to biennially review our conflict of interest
code to determine if it is accurate or needs amending. Once we have completed our review,
this item will be brought before the Council for approval.
6. Silence past a deadline in all probability means we did not get the smaller of the two "big
box" projects. We will renew efforts on the largest one.
7. The factory outlet proposal keeps changing. Until its size, make up, and location are in
writing and concrete, I'm withdrawing any incentive discussions. When, and if, a firm
proposal is in hand, it can be renewed.

Progress is taking place on purchasing, hazardous materials and field protocols.

9. Governor Wilson signed the enterprise zone/incentive bill that Senator Costa pushed on our
behalf. It should, in time, be a benefit to the southeast area.

· Closure of 17th Street at Union Avenue and monitoring of criminal activity.

MEMORANDUM
O September 20, 1996
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Gene Bogart, Water Resources l~xanager SF_P 2 S 199
SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 218 '
This memorandum has been prepared to analyze the effects of Proposition 218 on
the Water Resources Department if it were to pass in the November election. The major
areas reviewed in this analysis are as follows:
(1) 1976 Water Bonds (General Obligation):
The Water Department has approximately $9,000,000 outstanding in GO Bonds
relative to the purchase of the City's water system. This bond proposition was passed by
the residents of Bakersfield in November, 1976 with over two-thirds (68.9%) of the votes.
Water revenue from contract sales is the revenue source utilized to service this debt. The
debt will be retired in December, 2006. Since no tax proceeds or other assessments are
involved in paying this obligation, Proposition 218 would not appear to effect these bonds
as it is currently written.
(2) Local Water Supply Construction Loan Under the Water Conservation Bond Law
of 1988:
The Water Department recently obtained a $3,000,000 loan from the State of
California to construct a 10 million gallon potable storage reservoir. The funding source
for the loan is State water bond proceeds. The debt will be serviced over the next 15 years.
No taxes or other assessments were included or required to service this debt. Water
revenues resulting from on-going water sales, pump tax savings, reduced power costs and
water banking programs will be utilized to retire this obligation. Based on this, Proposition
218 does not appear to effect our ability to service the loan.
(3) Water Availability Fees:
The only assessment levied by the Water Department with respect to water service
is a connection related fee known as an "availability" fee. This fee represents the cost to
September 20, 1996
SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 218
provide water wells, pipelines, storage and required facilities to the land being developed.
The current rate of $2,000 per gross acre is authorized by Ordinance pursuant to the
Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to the City's Ashe water system. The fee is paid by the
developer prior to tract or parcel recording. The current rate was reviewed and
recommended by the Water Board and has been unchanged since 1982. Proposition 218
does not appear to effect this fee.
(4) Water Rates:
Rates for Kern River surface water are based on supply and current market
conditions. Domestic water prices are based upon the cost of providing service to the
property (such as commercial, industrial, or residential property). It appears that charges
for water fall under the definition of "property-related" fees in Proposition 218. If this
measure passes, local governments would have to mail information about fees to every
property owner and hold elections to maintain or increase property-related fees. In.
addition, none of the fee revenue could be used for any other purpose than providing the
property-related service. However, water, sewer and refuse collection service fall outside
of such requirements. Therefore, this proposition would not change the way in which we
establish water rates or currently do business.
(5) In-Lieu Taxes:
The City Water Department participates directly and indirectly in overhead charges
by paying property and possessory interest taxes (in-lieu) to the City General Fund that
would otherwise be paid to the County of Kern. Since the City is exempt from paying these
taxes to the county, the in-lieu payment normalizes the cost of providing water service in
the Bakersfield area by creating a level playing field with other water purveyors serving the
area. It appears that Proposition 218 does not effect the way property taxes are assessed
and if passed will not effect our in-lieu payment to the General Fund.
In summary, the Water Department does business as an enterprise operation. Based
on our analysis of Proposition 218, its passage would not directly effect the' water operation
but could have a major effect on those City functions providing support services to the
Water Resource Department.

MEMORANDUM
September 24, 1996
TO: Jake Wager ~
FROM: David LymanX/-
SUBJECT: Progress Report on Chester Avenue Maintenance District Formation
The first public hearing for the proposed Chester Avenue Maintenance District is scheduled
October 9. To assure that all affected property owners have information about this issue, four
separate mailings have been sent. The first was from DBA President Phil Bently. The
second was from Mayor Price. The third was from yourself, and the fourth was the official
Notice of Hearing accompanied by another letter from Mayor Price. While these mailings
have generated marginal response, those that have responded have generally been favorable to
the idea of a proposed maintenance district.
With several pieces of property, we found that the mailing address for the property owner
may have changed. We decided to err on the side of caution and send the official mailing to
both addresses -- the old and new -- to assure that we took every opportunity to inform
property owners about this issue.
In addition, we submitted an article for the DBA newsletter highlighting the idea of a
maintenance district and encouraging calls to this office for more information.

CALLOWAY DRIVE (WARD4)
REFERRAL/REQUEST:
"MCDERMOTT REQUESTED STAFF LOOK INTO THE HEAVY TRAFFIC
SITUATION ON CALLOWAY FROM ROSEDALE HWY. PAST BRIMHALL ROAD
SINCE THE OPENING OF THE CALLOWAY BRIDGE."
RESPONSE:
As requested, Traffic Engineering has completed traffic volume data collection on
Calloway Drive.
Before bridge opening After opening
So. of Brimhall N/A 6,615
No. of Brimhall 6,600 10,381
The traffic volume counts indicate an increase in traffic on Calloway north of
Brimhall of about 57 percent. It is generally accepted that a two lane road can carry
a maximum of about 12,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day, on average. The maximum
is affected by "friction" caused by driveways, school zones, parking, etc., and is usually
closer to the 12,000 capacity in an urban setting. Using 12,000 as the capacity, the
Volume/Capacity ratio is about 10,381/12,000 = 0.87, which is about a level of
service rank of a low "D" to nearly "E". If Calloway were at its ultimate width of 6
lanes, the level of service would be "A", the best ranking.

MEMORANDUM
September 23, 1996
To: Chief Brummer
From: Sergeant W. Henry
Subject: Council Referral WF0008235 / 002; Closure of 17th Street @ Union Ave.
In May of 1996, a temporary road barrier was placed on 17th street at Union, blocking thru
traffic. This was done in order to check any impact on prostitution or crime activity in the
area.
Prior to the barrier being placed at it's present location, the Vice/Narcotics detail indicated
that the prostitution activity on 17th street was minimal at best, with very little or no activity
ever being observed by officers. A considerable amount of time was dedicated to
observing the area during the study. While several arrests were made during the
investigative period, the arrests were for an area that in compassed al_il of the Union Ave.
area, not 17th street exclusively. There were very few arrests made on 17th street.
Since the barrier, Vice/Narcotics indicates that there has not been any change, still very
little if any activity. It is that details opinion that the barrier has had no impact on any
activity. This opinion is based on observation, which is the primary way to track the
activity.
