A response to a referral is enclosed on a possible annexation in southeast
Bakersfield.
There is a memo enclosed indicating that the Fire Department has been
successful in attracting a statewide conference here.
4. Enclosed is a memo regarding Fair Housing and a workshop to be held on
October 18. There is also a memo on graffiti policy in Moreno Valley
enclosed. We will do some more looking into it to see if some of the
concepts may be pertinent to us. There is also a memo enclosed discussing
the next section of refuse customers that will be automated. This is a
portion of the Silver Creek area.
5. The IGR Committee met on several things this week including the conflict
over the feeding program at Central Park with the impact on the senior
facility and the museum. There is a letter enclosed on that subject.
Basically, all efforts to achieve a compromise have failed. A fairly terse
meeting ended with a formalized request from the committee members to the
sponsoring church to consider moving it to their own church or working with
the Bethany Group at the Homeless Center. They responded by phone by
saying "no." The backup plan is to require reservations and mitigation
for impact for recurrent use of parks for picnics and/or the possibility of
moving out the picnic area from its current location in Central Park. More
will follow in the not-to-distant future on this.
6. We met with the McAllister Ranch people this week. They are strenuously
objecting to being included in the sphere of influence change. We know
LAFCO will accommodate their wishes. We attempted to establish a long-term
relationship so they wiil eventually alter their position, but we cannot
stop them from taking themselves out of the sphere change area at this
time.

MEMORANDUM
October 9, 1995
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: D.B. TEUBNER, ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REFERRAL FROM COUNCILMEMBER CARSON FOR ANNEXATION OF
THE AREA ROUGHLY BOUNDED BY BELLE TERRACE TO EAST WHITE
LANE AND UNION AVENUE TO COTTONWOOD ROAD
Recently Gaii Waiters and I accompanied Councilmember Carson on a tour of the area
identified in the attached map. Her purpose was to familiarize us with the area that she
would like targeted for annexation. Councilmember Carson feels that she will be able
to work with residents of this area to convince them of the benefits of annexation. The
area is primarily residential and vacant land with scattered commercial and industrial
uses. Commercial properties include motels and convenience stores, industrial uses
include a wrecking yard and a trucking operation. Streets are in very poor condition with
no curb and gutter. Based on our review of the area, it is very likely that the area is
CDBG eligible. The area also includes Casa Loma School and Park.
I spoke with Principal Planner, Marc Gauthier, and asked if the area had ever been
considered for annexation. He said that the fairgrounds and surrounding area had been
studied for possible annexation but his research indicated that their was no advantage
to the City of annexing the fairgrounds. In addition, this is a high crime area that will
undoubtedly cause the BPD to have concerns about police staffing levels. Marc also
indicated that the area surrounding the fairgrounds has not been a high priority for
annexation as compared with other County island areas and therefore has not been
pursued.
Councilmember Carson has already had some positive feedback from residents
regarding annexation of this area to the City. The annexation area could be divided into
2 sections, Casa Loma (east of Union Avenue) and Southgate (west of Union Avenue).
If necessary the Casa Loma area could be further divided into 2 sections - the area north
of Casa Loma Drive and the area South of Casa Loma Drive. Based on Councilmember
Carson's comments during the tour, it appears that she is interested in doing Casa Loma
in one phase and Southgate in the second phase. The Casa Loma area is pre-zoned
as part of the Casa Loma Specific Plan, however, Southgate is not.
Please let me know how you wish to proceed.

SUBJECT: 1997 CALIFORNIA 5TATE FIREMENS ASSOCIATION CONVENTION
Fire Department representatives recently returned from the yearly
CSFA Conference which was held at Universal Studios.
Representatives attended, not only as voting delegates but as a
team, to present a proposal to host the CSFA Conference in
Bakersfield the latter part of September 1997. The bid proposal
was successful and the convention will be held in Bakersfield in
1997.
A decision will be made at a later date by C5FA officials as to the
host hotel. We have already mentioned that our recommendation is
the Holiday Inn 5elect and I have asked my personnel to speak with
both Mitch VanWormer regarding the availability of the hotel and
Lee Andersen concerning the availability of the Convention Center.
The 1997 CSFA Convention will be the 75th anniversary of the
association and I anticipate approximately 400 attendees plus
family and guests. The convention usually lasts for or five days.
I will forward more information as soon as it is available.

Item #1
As you may recall, Mayor Price received a letter from Thomas F. Honore, Director of the Fair
Housing and Equal Opportunity Division, concerning HUD's new requirements for all CDBG
entitlement jurisdictions to undertake to affirmatively further fair housing in their communities.
From staff's preliminarily review of the fair housing guidelines, the Fair Housing Impediment
Study, completed in November 1992 (by Coen and Associates) will need to be up-dated in order
to conform with the new regulations. The 1992 study was a joint City/County report. Staff feels
that in order to maintain the continuity of the 1992 report, the proposed up-date should include
the participation of County Fair Housing. Staff has met with the County and they agree with the
joint update. City/County Fair Housing staff are preparing a Request for Proposal (RFP) and a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for this fair housing study.
With your concurrence we are prepared to release the RFP. Since the final fair housing study
must be completed no later than February 6, 1995, we have developed a tentative timeline
which would allow us to have both the Board and the Council approve the MOU and select the
Consultant in late November 1995.
Item #2
In an effort to provide additional technical assistance to all entitlement jurisdictions, HUD-Los
Angeles-Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Division has scheduled a Fair Housing Planning
Workshop at the Bakersfield Convention Center on October 18, 1995, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The City of Bakersfield is hosting this workshop. The members of the Fair Housing Advisory
Committee have been notified of this event. In addition, 16 entitlement jurisdictions from the
HUD's Southern California areas have been invited to attend the October workshop. Attached is
a copy of the agenda for the Fair Housing Workshop.
As additional information concerning the Fair Housing Workshop or the study are available, a
status report will be prepared.

SUBJECT: Graffiti Policy - Moreno Valiey
During the 1995-96 budget process, City Council indicated an interest in having this Department
look into other cities' anti-graffiti policies.
In 1994, the City of Moreno Valley's anti-graffiti program received the Helen Putnam Award
for its effectiveness. Since 1992, Moreno Valley has had a zero tolerance policy on graffiti.
Some of the major elements of this policy are:
1. The City and the District Attorney's Office agreed on stiff penalties of up to
$5,000 including jail terms, suspended driving privileges, and small claims suits.
Since 1993 taggers and their parents have been billed a total of $26,000.
2. With the cooperation of the media, the City published the names of adult taggers
caught in the act, and also the hotline number for citizens to report graffiti.
3. The City Mayor assembled a regional "Mayors' Roundtable on Graffiti."
Participating cities developed similar ordinances and coordinated joint patrol
efforts.
4. The Police Department began its Community Patrol Program. The Department
enlisted and "trained volunteers to patrol target areas, report graffiti, and assist
officers in apprehending taggers, thus becoming the eyes and ears for the police."
"The community patrol eliminates one of the biggest barriers to successful graffiti
prosecution - a lack of wimesses."
Moreno Valley also has some programs that are similar to ours, such as "Paint-Out Days",
"Adopt-A-Wall Program", Hotline citizen reporting, and a proactive educational and public
awareness campaign.
If you are interested, we can follow up with Moreno Valley by setting up a visit. Please advise.

SUBJECT: Graffiti Up-Date
HOTLINE
Although the month of August was taxing on us with 388 HotLine calls, September was a little
better with 295 complaints. The graffiti in the City did increase the last months of summer
vacation with vandalism being more dominant on mail boxes, traffic signs, curbs, and of course,
blockwalls. Fifty nine residents accepted paint from the City to remove graffiti off their
properties this month, and three new volunteers adopted City walls.
GRAFFITI ERADICATION - SIX-MONTH REPORT
From January 1 st to June 30, 1995, a total of 1155 work orders were issued. From that amount,
only 474 work orders required City crew to remove graffiti, the rest were for paint delivery to
individuals or groups painting out graffiti. This means that in 681 instances, Program staff was
able to count with citizen participation for graffiti eradication.
CITIZEN PATROLLING
Our program is getting to be well known and appreciated throughout the community. We have
now several individuals that regularly call the HOTLINE with a list of at least 5 or 6 vandalized
addresses to report each time.
CITY-COUNTY GRAFFITI ERADICATION PARTNERSHIP
David Lora, Kern County Juvenile Probation Work Program Coordinator, has agreed to "Adopt"
three City sites and keep them graffiti-free using matching paint donated by City program. The
sites are: the blockwall behind the shopping center on Mt. Vernon Ave. off Hwy. 178; the
blockwall behind the Center for Neuro Skills at 2658 Mt. Vemon Ave.; and the Arvin Edison
Canal wall North of Harris Rd, West of Ashe Rd. This is a win-win situation because the
County needs the sites to provide work for juveniles on probation, and the City will be kept
<: �
__.�
constantly clean in those areas of town. So far we are having successful results, and I am
looking forward to expanding our agreement to other City sites.
PAINT-OUT DAYS
Now that summer vacation is over, we are in the process of coordinating Paint-Out activities for
eight different groups. They are: Boy Scout Troop 484, Eastridge Community Church, Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, West High School SAVE Club, Bakersfield Adventist
Academy, Brownie Troop 728, Stockdale High School Key Club, and Garces High School. The
biggest projects being Bakersfield Adventist Academy wanting to involve all 60+ members of
the student body, and Garces High School with about 100 freshmen wishing to participate. We
are excited about the community involvement we have been able to generate.
34th STREET NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIP
We are presently working with the 34th St. Neighborhood Partnership. One of the goals of the
Partnership is to provide a better environment in the neighborhood. Businesses and residents in
the area have been made aware of the City's anti-graffiti program and have been encouraged to
call 32-ERASE to receive assistance. The Partnership has recently patrolled the area and
identified about fifteen vandalized addresses. We are working with the property owners of those
addresses to take care of the problem.
PROMOTING CITY'S GRAFFITI PROGRAM
We continue to participate in every Street Fair and many Neighborhood Watch meetings to
encourage target populations to set higher standards of living in their neighborhoods and to offer
the services of the graffiti program.
NEW GRAFFITI FLYERS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH
We have revised our anti-graffiti flyers. The message is more specific and clear. Both the
English and Spanish versions are now ready to print. It will help our program greatly, specially
as we try to involve the Spanish community in the target areas.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Raul Rojas, Public Works Director
DATE: October 10, 1995
SUBJECT: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING IN WARD 4, DISCUSSING
REFUSE/GREENWASTE AUTOMATION
At 7:15 pm, on October 9, 1995 at Silver Creek Park, staff held a neighborhood meeting to
solicit questions and comments about the roll-out of automated containers in their area.
All but 200 residents already had automated refuse service but none had greenwaste service.
Every address received the attached flier and door hanger several days prior to the meeting.
The area is shown on the attached map, and the area without any automation presently is
the small portion, lower right, colored in completely.
A total of five (5) citizens attended.
One gentleman, Mr. Steve Goodwin of 9004 Hemingway, FAX'd a letter (attached) the
following morning, explaining that he understood the program and was willing to work with
it. A second gentleman explained that he lived on a corner house and would be in need of
a second greenwaste container but had no complaint otherwise.
However, Ms. Janine Kerser of 9225 Lanneau Ct., was very unhappy with the program and
stated that she will be contacting the City Attorney and Kevin McDermott. She is most
upset about losing the second trash pickup because she does not want her garbage to sit a
full week.
Two other ladies expressed dissatisfaction with their garbage pickup being reduced to once
per week and wanted a second tan toter provided, free of charge, or their bill reduced.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
INTRODUCES
AUTOMATED
REFUSE
COLLECTION
�
B A K E R S F I E L D
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
AUTOMATED REFUSE COLLECTION
Your neighborhood will soon be participating in a
new, automated refuse and greenwaste collection
system that will bring you faster, more economical
service.
This innovative collection system is now used in many
communities throughout the nation, and is a
dependable and economical solution to the problem
of rising collection costs. This brochure outlines
important features of our automated program.
What Is °Automated Collection"?
Thecollection truck, equipped with a mechanical arm,
lifts, empties, and lowers the container while the driver
controls the mechanical movement from the truck cab.
Why Is Automated Collection Better?
> Efficiencv
One automated truck and driver does the work of 2
conventional, manually-loaded trucks that now use a
total of 4 workers. _
> Cost-Savinas
Fewer workers, increased productivity, and fewer
expensive job-related injuries.
> Convenience
The City provides the necessary containers, which
also saves you the cost of periodic replacement.
The containers also reduce litter/insect problems.
> Easv Recvclinq
The City will collect both refiuse and greenwaste in
separate containers. The greenwaste is then recycled
into compost and other useful soil additives.
What Klnd of Containers Are Used?
The City will provide you with containers especially
designed for automated collection. The light, yet
stable carts are tough and will not corrode, rust, or
deteriorate. They are wheel-mounted for easy
mobility, and have a hinged, tight-fitting lid with a
handle for improved control.
Will The Carts Be Large Enough?
Capacity should not be a problem, as you will receive
both a refuse and a greenwaste cart. The tan 101-
gallon refuse cart holds the equivalent of 3.5 normal
trash cans (the average family uses about 3 cans per
week), and the green 64-gallon greenwaste cart holds
2 cans worth of yard clippings. Many families find that
recycling helps them manage the amount of space
needed for waste.
The Ciry also has smaller 64gallon refuse carts for
special cases such as narrow gates, limited storage
areas, or difficult terrain.
What Should I Do On Collection Day?
Place your cart on the sidewalk curb, with the handle
facing your house. The automated truck needs at
least 3 feet of space around the cart for safe pick-
up. Carts placed near vehicles, other carts, or any
_ other obstruction cannot be picked up.
Please set your cart out by 6:00 a.m. on the collection
day. Carts should be kept out of view from the street
or alley between pick-up days.
Safety Reminder: Collection trucks and kids do not
mix. Keep children from playing near the carts,
especially at pick-up time.
When Are My Pick-Up Days?
Greenwaste cart: M�N�AY
Tan reiuse cart: THURSDAY
What If I Am Physically Disabled?
The City will help those who need assistance with the
carts. Medical verification may be required. Please
call us for more information.
What Kind Of Refuse Goes In The Carts?
Tan Refuse Cart:
Yes: All regular household trash
No: Large amounts of dirt, sod, concrete, rock
Furniture
Large appliances
Flammable/hazardous materials
Anything which keeps the lid from closing
Greenwaste Cart:
Yes: Grass, small bush trimmings, leaves, and
small branches (less than 2 inches in diameter)
No: Trash
Food waste
Plastic bags
Dirt
Palm or Yucca
Anything which keeps the lid from closing
To aid in the disposal of bulky items, the Ciry will
provide special pick-ups for a nominal fee. Please call
326-3114.
May I Continue To Use My Old Refuse Container?
No. The new automated truck can pick up only the
special cart the City provides. Your old trash cans
may be put to good use as recycling containers. City
drop-off recycling sites are listed on the back of this
brochure.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
COMING SOON TO YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
The City will be using a new
automated collection systerri to pick
up your refuse and greenwaste.
We are currently surveying this area to verify
residential addresses. Soon, we will deliver.
specialized containers right to your house, as
well as detailed information on how the
program works.
To a�swer any questions you may have, we
will hold a
PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
' Silver Creek Park
MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1995
7:15 P.M.
You and your neighbors are invited to attend!
We trust that you'll like the change to this
faster, easier, and more economical way to
keep Bakersfield clean and to recycle yard
tnmmings.
The primary changes you will notice are:
> You willbe provided one 101-gallon refuse
cart and one 64-gallon greenwaste cart
(grass, leaves, small branches, etc. ).
> Because the sturdy carts are on wheels and
have a handle, moving them is much easier
than lugging cans.
> A new type of truck with a mechanical arm
will pick up and empty your cart, so that
workers do not lift heavy cans or bags.

Deax' Mayor Price,
During Bethany's Board of Dicectors meeting vn September 26, 1995, your
concerns regardi��g the nuon meal secvice for the humeless at Central Yark, azid the use of
the Balcersiield Homeless Center as an alternate feeding s�te to resolve the issue, ware
discussed at length. As you �nay knc�w, we diseontinued serving lunches, except for
children and their mothers over four years ago. As difficult as tlaat decision was then, it
is equalty as difficult to rea'�f'irm it today. AfCer considerable discussic>n, the Board va[ed
not to resume serving nooai meals.
That decision was baseci on a thorou�h exana��aatinn of tl�e goals and objectives of
the Center and evaluation of the pra��tice ac similax• faeilities. We provide tw� nutritious
dnd well balanced meals a day, niornin� and evening. During the remainder of ihe day,
re�idents are expected to seek opportunicies to tind a"way up". 7'heir time should be
s�►ent looking for work, housing and ot�er assistance. It has been our experience that
serving a noon-day meat eaacourages people to linger in and around che faeility icather than
work towards 5etf-suff'iciency.
Moviug the lunch program to the Center is more than a logistical ehange, it
impa�:t,s the traffic co�gestion in the area, the f:u:ility and staff. We appreciate tha offec of
Valley Bible Feliowship to provide and serve the meal at the Center, but the impact on the
faeility remains - wear a�nd tear on equip�cnent, increesed utilities, additi�nal seeurity, ete.
Movi�ag the lunch meals to tl�e Center would also negatively impact the programs we have
implemented and reverse the successful path many have taken.
Richard L I emple W e understand tha# an informal survey was conducted of those who have benefited
' x������b �'��'°' from the generi�sity of the Central Park group. The survey �ound tl�at many eating at the
park were neither homeless ar families, as was first thought. Some were even er►aployed
at surrounding businesses.

In keeping with the Center's long established prac�tic;e of working with volunteer
�roups t� provide many of the basic services at the Centex•, the Board has directed me t�
extenci �n invitation to those currentiy se�viing meals at Central Puk and offer them an
opponunity to perforro volunteer services at the Center, eitk�er at the breaktast or dinner
nneal or in other capacities. While we comanend those �erving meals at Ceiatral Park, they
coi�ld have the opportunity to work with the truly homeless at our facility without the
increase$ bu�den of providin� a noon� tneal.
We are aruare of the impact that the lunch program has haci ou the surrounding
area. We stand ready to work along side atl interested parties in attexnpting to address
this matter.

October 6, 1995
I wanted to report back to you on yesterday's meeting with Nestle's. As you will recall I had sent
the Plant Manager a letter inquiring about a rumored plant expansion and offering the City's
assistance. Last week the Plant Manager phoned me to tell me their "rumored" expansion was now
complete (estimated cost $15 million). In my letter I had mentioned training assistance and it was
in this regard that he was calling. A meeting was quickly set up with the State of California
(Employment Training Panel - ETP) and Employers' Training Resource (ETR) and myself. Joining
the Nestle's Plant Manager was their Human Resource Manager. I believe in all respects the meeting
was successful. Nestle's was already aware of State ETP funds and is currently working on an
application for funds to assist them in upgrading the skills of their current work force. They plan
on implementing this training by January 1996. They were not aware of the assistance available
from our local Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) agency - ETR. As described to us the recent
expansion created 75 new full-time positions (bringing their total FTE count to 500 with an
additional 100-125 seasonal employees). In response to their job advertisement, they received over
5,000 job application. ETR pointed out to them that they could have helped screen the applications
down to a manageable pool of qualified applicants at no cost to Nestle's. In addition, on-the job-
training funds could have been made available to defray personnel cost during the training period.
Nestle's immediately indicated their interest in establishing a close rapport with ETR for future hires.
During this part of our meeting the Plant Manager shared a concern over the educational attainment
level of the available labor pool. It seems that increasingly, this company and others are using
advanced technology in their manufacturing processes. Unfortunately the education being provided
is not properly equipping the labor force. The Plant Manager expressed how key the educational
level is to their ability to remain competitive. They currently do have a relationship with
Bakersfield College. However, my impression is that this is a bottom up relationship and that little
or no communication exist at the highest level. They confirmed this fact. I indicated that Nestle's,
as one of the largest employers, paying high manufacturing wages and requiring a higher skill level
than can be easily found in the existing labor pool, is doing itself a disservice by not engaging in a
�►.
T - �'
direct dialogue with our community's educational leaders. They indicated a desire to do so and I
immediately offered to coordinate a meeting between our top educational leaders and key
representatives from such firms as Nestle's, Frito-Lay, State Farm, and Elk Corporation. They
accepted my offer. The Human Resource Manager indicated he would sound out some of the other
large employers and get back to me. At that point an agenda could be established and a list of
invitees can be assembled. I envision this roundtable discussion being held under the aegis of the
City and could be pulled off prior to the end of the year. This event would fall under this
Department's business retention budget goal.
Please share with me any thoughts you might have with me on this matter.

Because the Legislature is in the first year of a two year

This is the case with Assembly Bill 49XX, however I will keep

next year.
Again, thank you for writing. Please feel free to keep me

INITIATIVE RESOLUTION FOR LIMITING THE NUMBER OF
PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS OF LEAGUE COMMITEES
The principle means for deciding policy on the important issues
facin� �-eities- -anc;- the - League—is -threugh- -the- -star�irig- �palicy
committees and the Board of Directors. The process allows for
timely eonsideration of issues in a changing environment and
assures broad access for elected officials to both initiate and
influence policy decisions.
Presently the League's eight policy committees are comprised of
elected delegates and presidential appointed delegates. The League
By-laws, however, allow the President unlimited powers to appoint
representatives,, to committees in addition ..to�..the Divisions' and
Department = elected .appointments which . often results. in a. large
majority� of appointed .delegates .as opposed_ to elected delegates. It
should interest you �to know the breakdown of elected delegates to
appointed delegates is currently as follows:

Enclosed is a copy of a Resolution proposed by the Desert/Mountain Division of
the League of Cities to address this concern by limiting the number of presidential
appointments per committee. The Desert/Mountain Division will follow the
initiative resolution process in bringing this to the League for consideration at the
General Assembly during the League's Annual Business meeting. For those issues
that develop after the normal sixty day deadline, a resolution may be introduced
—� ---- - --- with-a-petition-signed-by-designated-�voting defegUtes--o�-10%-of �ali-�mei�nber cifi�es
(47 valid signatures required) and presented to the President of the League no later
than 24 hours prior to the time set for convening the Annual Business Session of
the General Assembly.
A member of the Desert/Mountain Division will be present at the Delegate
registration area to gather the required number of petition signatures. This year,
the deadline is Monday, October 23, 1995, 9:30 a.m. Any delegate who will be
attending the League Conference may send a letter with their written support for
the Desert/Mountain Division's proposed resolution prior to the Conference to
facilitate the gathering process. This letter will only be valid, however, if their
signature on the letter can be verified by the registered signature at the
Conference. Please send letters to: Town of Apple Valley, P.O. Box 429, Apple
Valley, Ca 92307, Attn: Councilwoman Kathy Davis.
If you have any questions regarding the Desert/Mountain Division's proposed

IN ATTENDANCE WERE: PAT DeMOND, NANCY EWERT, KEVIl�T BARNES, ALAN
TANDY AND HOWARD MORRIS
iT'EM NO. 1. GREENWASTE FACILITY -
l�Tancy Ewert stated that we need to set our next quarterly survey. Howard Morris stated that Roland had
given him a schedule for September, December, March and June. As the July one was somewhat of a learning
curve and that it was fine with the County if the City wanted to keep that one in there, but Roland felt that the
City may wish to acfually perform one for September. Kevin and Nancy agreed to the first one beginning
Monday, October 2 through Sunday, October 8(for September) and then again early in December. Kevin
Barnes stated that there is a platform and scale available, so the front of the vehicle should be on the platform
to stop. The price was quite reasonable.
ITEM NO. 2. BAKERSFIELD CITY SANITARY LANDFILL UPDATE
Nancy Ewert stated that Lead, Environ�nental Health and the State Department of Toxics have all been
working on the health risk assessment. Nancy mentioned that there is a sixth division of Cal EPA, Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. So Toxics is pretty much out of it. The Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment is the office that will evaluate the health risk �assessment. The EHS Hazmat Team
will actually set the levels for clean-up. They have set their action level where the risk of cancer is raised above
one in 10,000, so that actually seems a pretry high incidence of cancer compared to the health risk assessment.
We will see how that goes. Everything now is in the guideline format, nothing has been formally approved.
Kevin asked what they estimate as a time table. Nancy said that EHS is going to send the report to the Hazard
Assessment Group. They will tell him how long it should take them and how much it will cost to run it
through their toxicology model. Bill O'Rullion should have that information within a couple of weeks. As far
as the closure plan revision, nothing is really moving on that now. Amendments have been made to Medcalf
& Eddy's agreement to have them-continue and finish the SWAT (Solid Waste Assessment Test) testing. Once
that is�completed, then the closure plari can actually be finalized. What we've received back from tne Regionai
Board is that they cannot approve or disapprove the closure plan until the SWAT is completed and they can
deem the closure as being complete. It should be completed by 7anuary, 1996. The project description for
the EIR will be modified according to the completion of the closure plan. In the last response of
Environmental Health, the City of Bakersfield was the option of do you wish to bring the remediation of the
backyard out as a separate project. Part of that decision will be made on the fact that several years ago there
was property that was part of the landfill that was either deeded over or an easement was given to the residents
where they extended their backyard. The concern is if the land has actually been deeded over to the residents,
then you can break is out separately from the closure of the landfill itself. There was discussion between Nancy
Ewert and Kevin Bames regarding ash on the property. Pat DeMond asked "can we overlay what they found
over the property descriptions with the appropriate lines drawn down. The original property lines and
whatever this easement line is and then the encroachment azea. Can we get that in an overlay with the findings
map? Kevin stated that this has been done already. Nancy stated that the Health Risk Assessment should show
the total encroachment, whether property or easement, so that needs to be checked out. Kevin asked what
� � ,�, :
Metropolitan Bakersfield Solid Waste
SubCommittee Meeting of September 22
Page 2
the status of Environmental Scierice Associates (ESA) work instructions. Nancy stated that the EIR will
change when the SWAT is completed and the closure has been brought up to date, then they will be back on
it. Nancy stated that she believes that Lead Agency hadn't been resolved yet. She believes there have been
letters that have gone back and forth, but it has not yet been resolved. So now, we can take the project
description and send it to OPR We'll want to get a finding there. Kevin stated that a letter should have been
received by Daphne Washington, saying that in order to resolve the Mandatory Collection: Lead Agency issue,
the City of Bakersfield will take that position, but will then oversee the administration of consultant contracts.
So we will take the old delineation of responsibilities and reverse roles.
Pat DeMond commented on IGRC meeting several weeks ago. Mandatory Collection was discussed and she
doesn't know if anything has happened. Alan Tandy stated that Joel Heinrichs said the County cauld not
participate in the hauler/city negotiations. Nancy stated that she could look back on that agenda item because
she believed that the agenda item did not preclude the County from participating as an observer in the
negotiations. -She also stated,thai some Boaed m�mbers-whu stated that ih�y didn't tt�ir�it�c�this-was ihe time to
take mandatoty collection forward and that is why Joel's recommendation was as it appeared. Nancy stated
that she believed the Board item did not preclude anyone from doing a test, it just said that we are not going
to enter into any formal negotiations at this time. A copy of our letter to the Board of Supervisors, dated May
23, 1995, is enclosed. Kevin stated that he contacted Roland Burkert regarding a conversion area that was
on a jagged eastern border where it would have been very good for the neighborhood to have a mandatory
collection test. Kevin stated that Roland indicated that the Solid Waste Department was not going to do the
test. Nancy again stated that she will check.
ITEM NO. 3. DROP OFF AGREEMENT
Nancy stated that the meeting which was scheduled for September 21 was rescheduled for Monday, September
25 at 10:00 a.m. and, therefore, no information on this agenda item was discussed.

Dear Members of�the Board of Supervisors:
RE: UPDATE ON MANDATORY REFUSE COLLECTION AND CURBSIDE
GREENWASTE COLLECTION (ALL S.D.'s)
FUNDING: NOIlViPACT
BACKGROUND
Illegal dumping has been a concern to Kern County residents for many years. As the gate fee
system was being reviewed and approved by your Boazd, several citizens and a few cities
expressed their concern that the new gate fee system would lead to an increase in illegal dumping.
The cities of Bakersfield and Taft requested that your Boazd consider implementing mandatory
(universal) refuse collection in the urbanized County unincorporated areas as a way to prevent
illegal dumping. Curbside greenwaste collection became linked to mandatory collection as it was
felt the County would have difficulty meeting AB-939 waste diversion goals unless it could
effectively divert residential greenwaste. Adopting curbside greenwaste collection at the same
time as mandatory collection appeared to make sense.
On August 10, 1993, your Board considered a report from the Waste Management Department
(Wii�), appraved the concepti o� n�n�atory refus� callection an�-curbsic3e greera waste collection,
and d'uected WNID to prepare a detailed implementation plan with the aid of a consultant. On
November 9, 1993, your Board approved an Agreement with Brown, Vence and Associates to
assist the Department. On March 15, 1994, WNID provided your Boazd with a report (copy
attached), listing a number of important service level and policy issues that must be resolved
before detailed planning of mandatory and curbside greenwaste collection can move forward.
At the March 15, 1994 Board meeting, the Metropolitan Bakersfield Haulers cautioned your Board
that many issues mentioned in the staff report required further study. Metropolitan Bakersfield
Haulers pointsd out that curbside greenwaste collection might not be necessary for the County to
meet the AB-939 waste diversion goals because the gate fee system and other WMD waste
diversion programs are more effective than originally projected. In addition, the Metropolitan
Bakersfield Haulers made several suggestions for alternatives to mandatory and curbside
greenwaste collection that might be less disruptive to ttie current refuse collection system and
could, possibly, be more cost effective. Cost, monthly charges and citizen acceptance of a new
mandatory collection system were also of primary concern.

UNRESOLVED ISSUES FROM PRIOR REPORT
WMD and the County Franchise Haulers worked together for several months in an attempt to
develop a plan for a mandatory collection system that is easy to administer, low cost, fair to the
public and effective at reducing illegal dumping. The August 10, 1993 report to your Board listed
several key issues and alternative approaches that WMU explored with the haulers and that require
policy decisions before planning can proceed. Resolution of these issues was put on hold after the �
August 10 Board meeting; however, WMD is prepa�ed to explore each of these issues further if
your Board so chooses.
Major unresolved issues include when to begin a mandatory collection program and how much
time should be allowed to phase up to full implementation. The County Fianchise Haulers and
WMD need to continue discussions regarding the level of service that should be provided under
a mandatory program and, also, how much that service should cost. Service related issues include
switching from twice-a-week to once-a-week gazbage collection, determining how many and the
types of containers to be used, and whether service should be fully automated, semi-automated,
manual or a combination. In addition, it must be decided if one type of service should be
pravided for everyone (one-sizc-fits-all) or if customers should be given a choice of service levels
and container sizes, with different rates charged for different service levels. Automated, one-size-
fits-all service offers certain cost efficiencies but limits a hauler's flexibility to customize service
to individual needs. �
To some extent, the billing method will be constrained by the type and level of service provided.
A one-size-fits-all service could be efficiently billed via the property tax bill. Allowing
customers to have a choice of service level vwuld argue in favor of a more flexible billing method,
such as monthly bills from the haulers. The choice of billing method also affects program cost
and when the progiam could be implemented. For example, the earliest a conversion to property
tax billing could occur would be July 1, 1996.
The issue of where to impose mandatory garbage service has not been completely resolved. The
previous report recommend'ed urban_areas with. a population densi_ty greater than SOO people per _
square mile. The East Kern hauler has argued in favor of imposing mandatory service throughout
the County because rural areas are a potential source of illegally dumped material. �
NEW ISSUES - CURBSIDE GREENWASTE COLLECTION/WASTE DIVERSION
It is now clear that the County will exceed the 25 percent waste diversion goal for 1995. The
amount of waste disposed in County landfills in calendar year 1994 was approximately 40 percent
less than the 1990 base year. Disposal in the first quarter of 1995 has also been 40 percent less
than the same period in the 1990 base year. All indications are that this trend will continue as
cunent diversion programs continue to become more effective. In addition, for determining
compliance with the 25 percent diversion goal, 1995 disposal will be compared to the estimated
amount of waste that was generatsd in 1995 and will include population and economic factors not
considered in the 40 percent figure. Once economic and population factors are considered, the
amount of diversion the County can claim is likely to rise.
The Wall. Street Journal has reported a national trend toward reevaluating and, possibly, scaling
back aggressive waste diversion goals. 1VIany assumptions that argued in favor of waste diversion

are now being questioned. For example, the recognition that more landfill capacity is available
than previously thought and a shortage of markets for recyclable material has motivated many
communities and organizations to look again at the cast benefit of recycling programs. In
addition, several California counties have indicated it is not economically practical to achieve 50
percent waste diversion in their counties and that 40 percent by the year 2000 would be more
realistic.
The National Organization of Counties (NACO), the Solid Waste Management Association of
North America (SWANA), and a number of countie� stat�wid� are questioning the Stat�e's ability
to hold local jurisdictions accountable for meeting diversion goals in light of recent California and
U.S. Supreme Court decisions regarding waste flow control.
To date, Kern County has followed a very conservative, deliberate and methodical strategy to
meet AB-939 goals. The County first targeted those waste materials that are most easily and cost-
effectively diverted, before moving on to progressively more difficult and costly options. Tfie
County's strategy has been to implement only those programs necessary to meet State or Federal
mandates.
At some point in the future, if it becomes necessary to maximize greenwaste diversion to the
greenwaste diversion facilities located throughout the County, at least one low-cost alternative
could be tried before implementing curbside gieenwaste collection. Tfiis option would be to create
a recycling incentive by pmviding all citizens with access to convenient, free greenwaste diversion
facilities and then charging for greenwaste disposal at landfills. Once all the currently-planned
greenwaste diversion programs are in place, this approach would be relatively quick and easy to
implement, vwuld lead to minimal disruption of residents' habits and would be more cost effective
as compared to curbside greenwaste collection. If this approach can not be implemented or is not
effective, then curbside greenwaste collection could still be considered.
How close current and planned programs will bring us to 50 percent diversion remains to be seen,
but past experience is encouraging. Based on our current disposal rates and, readily available,
easy to implement aiiernaiiv�, ii does not appear to b� nECessary to Ymplement curbside
greenwaste collection at this time.
NEW ISSUES - ILLEGAL DUMPING PREVENTION
Our records indicate that the gate fee program did not lead to a significant increase in illegal
dumping. Hawever, this issue continues to be of great concern. It is apparent from investigations
conducted by WNID, the Local Enforcement Agency and the Forest Service, that the vast majority
of illegally dumped waste comes from residential sources. The type of material typically found
at illegal dump sites can be disposed legally at a County landfill without charge. Therefore, the
motivation for illegal dumping appears to be to avoid monthly garbage collection charges and/or
to avoid driving the extra distance to a landfill or transfer station.
WMD has made numerous presentations to service groups, community associations and others to
explain the illegal dumping issue and how mandatory garbage service would remove the likely
motivation for illegal dumping; at least in those areas where it would be practical to implement
mandatory garbage service. Generally, �itizens at these presentations would like to see something
done about illegal dumping, but it is not clear what course of action they would prefer.

As a part of WMD's on-going assessment of illegal dumping and mandatory collection issues,
staff toured residential areas currently subject to mandatory gazbage collection. Stockpiling debris
in yards and yard litter were found to be a problem in some neighborhoods despite the availability
of numerous large refuse containers from the mandatory collection program.
Early in 1994, WMD initiated an illegal dumping cleanup arid preventian program. The program
combines WMD supervision and equipment with inmate labor to pick �ip garbage at illegal dump
sites. In the past year, the program has collected over 300,000 pounds of garbage. In addition,
as a condition of participating in the program, WMD works with property owners to erect
barriers, signs or other means to deter future illegal dumping activity at the sites. This program
is -verY PoPular. _ _ . . _ _
In the past year, several community groups have come forward and organized cleanup events in
problem areas. W1VID supports these efforts by providing technical advice and a gate fee waiver.
In addition, WMD has received a grant that allows the department to accept illegally dumped tires
without charge.
In keeping with the department's long standing strategy to try la`w cost, low impact programs first,
there are several alternatives to mandatory collection that could be considered. These options
include increased use of prison crews to clean up more sites, quarterly bulky waste collection
events in problem prone azeas and increased support for community cleanup events.
NEW ISSUES - COORDINATION WITH THE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
The City of Bakersfield is proceeding with the implementation of an automated curbside
greenwaste collection system throughout the city limits. As we understand the program, city
operated routes will be fully implemented by the end of calendar year 1995. Private hauler
operated routes within the city limits will be implemented over the next five years.
The ciry and the private Metropolitan Bakersfield Haulers are currently in negotiations relative to
the issue of automation, size of carts, frequency of collection and monthly rates. How the city
and the Metropolitan Bakeisfield Iiaulers resolve these issues will have a significant bearing on
how the County; in cooperation with the County Franchise Haulers, should design its collection
system. Thus, until the city and hauler negotiations are complete, a number of uncertainties
remain which will affect the cost effectiveness of the County's conversion to a mandatory
collection system.
SLTMMARY
The basic issues raised in the March 15, 1994, staff report about how to implement equitable,
user-friendly, low cost, mandatory garbage service and curbside gre�nwaste collection have not
been resolved. Changing conditions and new information have caused the Department to conclude
that curbside greenwaste collection is not necessary at this time to meet AB-939 waste diversion
goals. Further, haw the city and Metropolitan Bakersfield Haulers design the balance of the city's
collection program will have a critical impact on the County program in the unincorporated area.

Illegal dumping continues to be a serious concern and WMD has already developed an illegal
dumping cleanup program. Additional low-cost alternatives to address the illegal dumping
problem are available; however, mandatory garbage collection certainly remains the most
comprehensive response to the illegal dumping problem.
I'� IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR BOARD receive and file this report
and direct the Waste Management Department to take the following action: 1) continue the
County's current strategy of implementing low cost programs to meet AB-939 goals and to reduce
the effects of illegal dumping; 2) report back to the Board upon the completion of the City of
Bakersfield/Metropolitan Bakersfield Hauler negotiations regarding implementation of an
automated curbside greenwaste collection program in the city; and 3) report back to the Board
if there is any other significant change in the conditions affecting the need for mandatory garbage
or curbside greenwaste collection.
Sincerely,
