The election laws and related dates are quite complex. Additional research has shown that November 8th was the last date for stadium language consideration if it included areas outside the City limits and for the Mayoral. It appears, however, that for ballot language consideration only in the City, you have through the December 13th meeting. In addition to the reconsideration motion on the stadium, new or revised language could be considered at the next two meetings. 2. Some problems are getting worse at Central Park rather than better since the move by the church across the canal. A memo is enclosed on that subject. 3. There is a memo enclosed - we are going to have a tennis tournament versus The Bakersfield Californian. If any of you are players or even just interested in attending as a non-player, please let me know. The event is the 9th of December, and we do have one event specifically for Councilmembers, although you can join other events as well. 4. We are continuing to work on obtaining a grocery store for southeast Bakersfield. 5. Enclosed are copies of the City's and County's versions of the service duplication areas we need to address as part of the tax split agreement. 6. There is a survey enclosed showing we are on the lower end of fees both for sewer connections and user rates; both will have to increase to pay for plant enhancements. . 7. There is a memo enclosed discussing some of the history of the Homeless Center. 8. There is an update enclosed,on a neighborhood meeting held at University Park on the Destec funds - they only want little things. 9. DeWalt, with other investors, has advanced in the acquisition of Riverlakes. We've been told verbally, at least, they don't have the resources to pay the assessments. Our foreclosure action should continue if that is the case. C_ HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL November 17, 1995 Page -2- 10. The County staff is recommending denial of the stadium loan. A letter to the Board is enclosed. Action is expected by them November 21st. 11. The Department Head Retreat was very worthwhile - we came up with excellent ideas on several internal and organizational issues! AT:rg Enclosures cc: Department Heads Trudy Slater Carol Williams 6 November 1995, MEMORANDUM 0 TO: Frank Fabbri - Park Superintendent FROM: ��� Ken Trone - Park Supervisor SUBJECT : C$�L p�R 0 It has been brought to my attention that a problem has arisen regarding the weekday lunch program at Central Park. As you are aware, the organizers have moved the program to the east side of the park. Since the move our permanent park maintainer, Ray Morin and the temporary maintainer on this assignment, Kimberly Miglis, have both noticed an increasing incidence of public urination and indecent exposure. Some of the recipients of the lunch program are relieving themselves on the walls of the old tool room, in the shrubs along the east side of the park, and around the pool area. This is a very disturbing trend as many of our park users are young children and families. Please advise me on any action that can be taken to curtail this type of activity. cc: Allen Abe 0 i.� ..- � T0: FROM: SUBJECT: • B A K E R S F I E L D MEMORANDUM ALL CITY DEPARTMENTS BEAT THE CALIFORNIAN COMMITTEE TENNIS TOURNAMENT Navember 14, 1995 � We are looking for tennis players for a special tennis match, City vs. newspaper, on December 9, at Rio Bravo.

This is obviously subject to additions, deletions and change, as well as prioritization through discussions. HIGH PRIORITY AREAS FOR CONSIDERATION 1) Encourage Boundary Improvements There are eight wholly encircled islands and many other irregular boundary areas. The City and County each waste taxpayer dollars through excess travel time, irregular patrol routes and other areas because of the inefficient boundaries. The City and County should work to agree on a more logical boundary, and then jointly encourage annexations to that boundary to provide efficient service delivery for all. 2) Animal Control We offer this as a high priority because the City has privatized animal control, and the SPCA, which runs our program, recovers 50% of its costs. Since our employees and directly provided services are not involved, we believe this is an area which would not be viewed as a"turf" issue and believe there is an area of potential savings for Kern County. City of Bakersfield • City Manager's Office • 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield • California • 93301 (805) 326-3751 • Fax (805) 324-1850 �� � Mr. Joel Heinrichs November 14, 1995 Page -2- 3) Refuse collections in islands, peninsulas and areas near the City, as well as educational efforts on recycling Private haulers actually overlap routes between City and County, but we have differing rules, regulations and standards. It is to the betterment of all parties if such standards and collection procedures were uniform and consistent, at least to the extent that the private-sector contractor agreements overlap jurisdictions. 4) Parks which are Encircled by the City These include Heritage, College and Panorama. It would seem logical for the City to take over and maintain these parks either by contract or by ownership. There, of course, would be substantial costs associated with that. Perhaps if there is some other area that the County could take in exchange of equal cost, consideration could be given to this issue. 5) Crossing Guards We have different standards and systems for providing crossing guards despite the fact that many of them serve the same schools and are in close proximity to one another. Exploration of more efficient and consistent means to provide this service would be desirable. 6) Wastewater Treatment and Line Maintenance Some of our wastewater treatment lines are connected, but in some cases we have overlapping jurisdictions doing the line maintenance, again due to boundary issues. We also have each group administering treatment plant operations. 7) Graffiti Our programs overlap geographically. We also have different standards relative to use of matching paint. It would seem as if a common program, perhaps administered by only one agency in the metro area, or at least in those areas of complex boundaries, would be more desirable. 1� Mr. Joel Heinrichs November 14, 1995 Page -3- 8) Airport Administration We each operate an airport. It would seem as if the administration could be more effectively done by one agency. 9) Weed Abatement Again, we have difficult boundaries and different standards of service. Our Fire Departments provide field fire service within each other's jurisdictions, but weeds are not controlled in a consistent manner. 10) Environmental Health Services Plan checking and inspection for this involve a second unit of government. It would seem to be a less efficient model for service delivery than would be theoretically possible. MEDIUM PRIORIN AREAS FOR CONSIDERATION 1) Purchasing and Bidding Specifications Purchasing and bidding specifications can be more consistent for such things as autos, police vehicles, etc. 2) Street Sweeping The County uses service areas which have considerable overlap with the City and our regular street sweeping program. 3) Training programs for Supervisory employees. We currently do some joint training in public safety which could be expanded to other areas. . � Mr. Joel Heinrichs November 14, 1995 Page -4- 4) Roads (signing, marking, traffic signals) Here again we have, due to our boundary issues, roads which may not be as efficiently and effectively maintained due to the complexities of the boundaries. Note: Fire Senrices This is not listed because it is the focal point of a separate study.

Mayor Price along with Councilmembers DeMond and Sullivan joined Richazd Temple, Executive Director of the Center, A1 Sandrini, Chauman of the Board of Directors, Cindy Hurley, representing the Junior League of Bakersfield and me as we cut the ceremonial red ribbon. The community was well represented by supporting businesses as well as representatives of local and state elected officials. I felt that with today's event and the recent media stories about the needs of the homeless, a status update on the homeless center would be useful. With the recent addition to the family dormitory area the Center now offers 175 beds for men women and children. A re-design of the sleeping areas provides for more flexibility to provide up to 59 of the 175 beds for women and children when the need arises. The Center is operated by Bethany Services, a non-profit public benefit corporation. Bethany has been recognized as a unique service provider coordinating a broad continuum of programs and services designed to help homeless individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency and independence. T'hese services include 2 meals a day prepared in the fully equipped commercial kitchen, showers, clothing, case management (i.e. mental health services, job counseling and placement, housing search assistance, benefit search), physician and dental services at the on-site medical clinic, mail services, children's programs, substance abuse counseling and support groups, literacy tutoring, and volunteer work projects. Since its opening in May, 1991 the Center has provided over 224,000 bed-nights, 750,000 meals, 890 job placements and 590 housing placements. Well over 70% of all work performed and accomplishments achieved on behalf of Bethany are conducted by community volunteers. A Y °� partial list of churches and other organizations who regularly provide volunteers is attached. Bethany's annual operaring budget of approximately $650,000 supports a full time staff of 16 plus 7 part-time employees. Over 30% of those funds originate from private grants, the United Way, The Junior League of Bakersfield as well as local businesses, organizations, churches and individuals -($208,000) with the balance coming from City, County, State, and Federal sources. As you may recall, the recently approved Emergency Shelter Grant of $60,000 (included in the budget) is dedicated to the re-establishment of a part-time medical and dental clinic on site. Bethany also recently received a State Emergency Housing Assistance Grant (EHAP) of $51,000 which is designated for the expansion of the kitchen food storage azea and other related improvements. Because the funds will be used for a major capital improvement project on a City-owned site, the City will act as the fiscal agent. As was the case with the dornutory expansion grant, we expect to appropriate those funds with an amendment to an existing agreement with Bethany in the near future. Staff will then direct the implementation of the capital improvement project. cmupdate/bhc.2/jf _. �1 ,. ,.

She wanted�to know when the meeting with the Panorama Hills residents would be held. She also indicated the Panorama Hills meeting should include all property owners within the boundaries as outlined in the Destec agreement. She felt this should be the last meeting before making recommendations to the full Council. Lee, we are proceeding in the following manner: 1. Meet with Dr. Garland from the City School District on November 9, 1995. Mr. Garland obtained direction from the school board regarding use of the funds on school campuses within the area and will be discussing that with us. 2. A final meeting has been scheduled for December 5, 1995, at 5:30 PM, at Chipman Junior High School with the following: a) b) c) d) Property owners within the Panorama Hills service area to discuss the outcome of the Park Maintenance District survey and use of the $500,000.

Meeting notices were sent to 42 property owners and 20 attended the meeting at Chipman Jr. High School. Staff present at the meeting included Frank Fabbri, Parks Superintendent; Allen Abe, Assistant Parks Superintendent; Marian Shaw, Public Works; Jenny Eng, Planning and myself. The majority of those attending were in opposition to a restroom or any major improvements which would bring more people to the park. The idea of expending the funds at Highland High School for a swimming pool or football field lighting was discussed. The cost of either project would exceed the Destec donation. Some of the minor improvements for University Park mentioned by those in attendance were as follows: * Additional security lighting on the north side of the park along University Avenue. * Pay telephone for park users. * Correct drainage problems at several locations in the park. * Install sand volley ball courts and soccer goals. * Update the playground equipment. * Plant more trees. * Install additional trash containers.

The Board-appoimed ad hoc commitcea met wich the Urban Developmeut Committee on November 1, 1995 and again on November 7, 1995. Throughouc the discussions, the Board's representatives s�essed the following points: 1. 2. 3. The proposed construcuon of a baseball stadium using public funds must be placed on the ballot as an advisory measure. The ballot lat�gttage must specify the site selected, provide site specific es�mated consWCtion costs, and itemize the proposed financing sotmces and terms. 'The repayment of any loan from the County mvst be guaranteed and secuierd by an absolucely neliable souice such as the City's General Fund or, if neeessary, through the implementation of an assessment district. On November 8, 1995, the City Council approved the following language fvr the propvsed ballot measure: Shall the Ciry of Baketsfield evnstivct a multi-use facility neaz the Convention Center dovmtown with a cost of no more than S14 million without increasing taxes or assessments. Sources of funding may include about $Z.5 million in contribution. $4.5 million from future bene�cs of increased local government revenue, and a mazimum loan of $7.5 million secured by a user fee, which will be adjusted to guarantee the loan. A professional analysis and coesttuction cosc esrimate for the downtown site has not been done. The propose� estimated construction cost of the stadium at the downtown site� even at a"not co exceed amount," is tenuous at best. At $14 million, the site is just $ l.4 million over the professionally estimated cost of constraction of a stadium at Sam Lynn Ball Park. 'i�e downtown site will require the acquisition of existing homes and businesses, a cost that has not been fully explomd. Fucther. additional costs will be incumed for the rclocation of major utilides currendy located a[ the site. Moreover, the issue of adequate park9ng facilities has not been addressed. 1115 Trwctun Avenue, 5th Floor BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 93301 (805) 861•2371, FAX (90S) 32r3979 ,-t 1� ttittsia5 �1'Hlr 10:31 FAX Su5 'sY5 ae78 RERN CO ADMIN 1Q002 Board of Sup�rvisors Multi-L1se SportS Stadium Ballot Language and Financing Plan November 21, 1995 Page 2 The Council's approved ballot measu;e language does not specify the sourcc of che proposed $7.5 million loan. tiowever, the projected revenues for the project will not meet the estimated annual debt service an the County's proposed loan of $7.5 million. A, revenue sborcfall of approumately $300,000 per yest would be exgerienced for a 20-year loan; the shortfall on a 10-year loan would exceed $650,U00 annually. The City approved ballot language p�ov�des for an increase in user fees, as necessary, to bridge the revenue gap. An increase in use[ fees does not provide the degree of security required by the County for repayment of the pmposed loan and such a me[hodology places taxpayer funds at subsrtantial risk. The inadequate analysis conducted for the downtown sits, the lack of a solid construction cost figure, end [he Ciry's p�roposed methodology to meet the debt service requiremenu of a County loan, all combine to make the City's proposed ballot measuie language unacceptable, A$7.5 million loan from the Counry W the City is not advised under these circumstances.

We are Telecommunications consultants with a record of substantial cost reductions for our municipal clients. The Councilmember felt that we offered a unique group of services that could be of benefit to City of Bakersfield and asked us to contact you to discuss potential substantial savings in the city's telecommunications costs. As Telecommunications Consultants we are excited about the benefits we have been able to provide our client cities. We know municipalities need to contain and reduce costs while providing highest quality services to the public. We derive great pleasure in knowing that we are able to help by reducing our client cities' communication costs, improve their service to constituents, reduce staff time, and do that without cost or capital outlay to the client. We are enclosing some literature that describes our company and services. With you permission we will contact you to make an appointmelit for a time that is convenient to further discuss the potential savings and benefits City of Bakersfield can receive. Sincerely.

This allows for scoring any combination of local or out of town firms: local consultant with no sub-consultants; local consultant witb out of tovm sub-consultants; out of town consultants with local sub-consultants; or out of town consultant with no sub- consultants. On the attached sample CQE, the maximum possible total score is 535 points, with 25 of those points (five percent) coming from Item 10. The number of items and the weight factor for each item on the CQE varies from project to project, based on the items that pertain to the project. Therefore, the project administrator must adjust to weight factor for Item 1Q to ensure that the maximum score for Item 10 is always five percent of the maximum possible total score. cc: Jacques LaRochelle Arnold Ramming S:�FORMS\QBSICQEMEM0.928 ' '.'1f ( 4 is�� , � �aK Consultant Qualification Evaluation . �� � �� ��s� � � � Design for Sample Project Locations Unknown 'c�N'� Bakersfield, California Consultant: Road Work Design by: Structural Design by: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) Firm/Team's history and resource capability to perform required services.
