I am pleased to inform you that the new Human Resources Manager is an individual with a great deal of experience. Her name is Carroll Hayden. She will begin work with us on January 22nd. She was the unanimous pick of the two interview panels, which included representatives from a union, as well as a variety of management employees. 2. Regarding the ongoing assessment district controversy, we are going to look at trying to do some mathematical calculations on the concept of equity of services versus cost. In other words, the arguments and counter-arguments on assessment districts include that some medians, such as in the northeast, are maintained for free. Other, such as in the southwest, are assessed, and that is double taxation. The counter to that argument is that the level of service is higher in the new areas. Both have an element of the truth. What we will try to do through mathematical calculations is to apply cost or mileage of what is maintained under the General Fund to assessment districts to see if there is equity, or not. There is a thirty- three percent subsidy on the parks' side of assessment. The only thing subsidized on the landscaping medians' side is the administrative and overhead costs. 3 I don't know if councilmembers will like it or if it will resolve the issue, but it is, at least, an effort to try to avoid some of the controversy. I am pleased to announce that the City easily defeated The Bakersfield Californian in the tennis match last Saturday. Mayor Price and Randy Rowles were among many of our winners. 4. There is a draft of a letter enclosed to Joel Heinrichs with the County. It proposes that the County allow us to annex certain of their County owned properties which are in islands or adjacent to the City limits. I thought I would send this to you and make sure there is no objection before sending it to the County. If you have any problem with it, please call me early next week. Otherwise, it seems like a gesture that might be helpful in our annexation efforts. � L ,� ;� � iy HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL December 15, 1995 Page -2- 5. Please remember I will be taking some time off, beginning Thursday, December 21st through most of the following week. During my absence, Gail Waiters will be in charge on December 21st and December 22nd; John Stinson will be in charge December 26th through December 29th. 6. Some inter-departmental charges have been overstated on the Tax Increment Program this year, because we are a year behind and used the workload on the hotel as the basis for calculating this year's initial charges. In order to get that corrected this year we need to back out those charges, which will mean some slight increase in General Fund costs. It is easily affordable due to savings in other areas. 7. A letter from the Ice Palace is attached indicating their interest in Bakersfield as a location for an ice skating arena. 8. There is a memorandum attached noting recommendatlons for the Retiree Medical Plan. This includes financial details. This is a very complex and emotional subject. John Stinson and I are available to individually brief councilmembers on this subject, if you wish. There is also a survey enclosed from other cities on how their retiree medical program compares to ours. Ours runs ten times to twenty times the benefit level. 9. As referenced in last week's General Information, there is a memorandum detailing the neighborhood meeting that was held to discuss Panorama Hills Park and use of Destec Funds. 10. Attached for your information is the December URM Project Status Report, as prepared by Economic Development. 11. Also attached from Economic Development is a report on the California Association of Enterprise Zones' Board of Directors meeting held in San Jose on December lst. Top discussion related to legislative issues. 12. A memorandum regarding the grade separation projects nominated for inclusion in the 1996-97 and 1997-98 priority list is enclosed. 13. The latest correspondence and petitions relating to the Marketplace proposal are enclosed. 14. Fire Chief Kelly has announced his appointment of Bob Tobias as a new Assistant Chief and Henry Pacheco as Deputy Chief. That leaves one vacant Assistant Chief position with no applicants on the list to fill it. 15. The recycling facility will move from behind the convention center parking lot site beginning next Monday, and that will allow us to proceed with full construction.

B A K E R S F I E L D Alan Tandy • City Manager -- DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION -- December 13, 1995 Mr. Joel Heinrichs County Administrative Officer County of Kern 1115 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Mr. Heinrichs: As you know, our respective legislative bodies are currently in the process of adopting a list of areas which we will review to reduce service duplication. One area of potential reduction in service duplication is under the Boundary Clarification or Correction label. It occurs to us that one effort that could be made, if Kern County is willing, would be for the City to annex those properties owned by Kern County which directly abut the City of Bakersfield. Without the County compromising its position or its historic stance relative to being neutral on annexations, this would be a symbolic gesture to get the ball rolling on boundary clarification. It would allow for County properties to receive some benefits, such as City police protection, without any cost or obligation to Kern County. We are aware of several properties that would fall into this category. One would be the museum complex and Sam Lynn Ball Park. The list would also include Casa Loma Park in the southeast, Panorama Park in the northeast, and the fairgrounds. The County would have the unilateral ability to veto any or all of them as a routine of annexation laws, so there would be no point in our starting annexation if the County was opposed. On the other hand, if the County is willing to consent to the annexations, or to at least enter into discussions, it seems like it might be a gesture that might help get our discussions on intergovernmental cooperation and service duplication off on a good start. City of Bakersfield • City Manager's Office • 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield • California • 93301 (805) 326-3751 � Fax (805) 324-1850 : DISCUSSION DRAFT Joel Heinrichs December 13, 1995 Page Two The other factor that you could be helpful on, if there is some interest on the part of Kern County, would be to review the list of your properties. We are going strictly based upon what we happen to know you own. We may be forgetting certain County operations, and there may be a number of others that are actually in this category, so we would appreciate a check of the listing from your perspective. I look forward to hearing from you, and I'm sure we'll be scheduling a meeting in the not too distant future on the broader area of service duplication and improved efficiency.

Since the ICE PALACE is expanding rapidly, we have had the occasion to visit several Southern California cities. To date, no other civic body has come close to demonstrating the positive attitude and constructive intent we experienced in Bakersfield. Our congratulations on your hiring policies. We are finalizing our transaction with Price Enterprises and have instructed our architect and structural engineer to complete plans as quickly as possible. The anticipated date for complete submittal is approximately 45 days. However we would like to forward our site and floor plan within the next two weeks as an expression of our intent and as a means of receiving any additional suggestions/comments. Additionally, the ICE PALACE is extremely impressed with Mike Butters and -� ---�� -^fhe Bake�sfieid Fog. VNe ci�e working fo-impiemenf their needs into our- - facility in an effort to become the Fog's official home and practice rink. It is our desire to integrate Mike's players into the ICE PALACE programs as hockey coaches and private instructors. Because our coaches are paid as staff employees, this may make Mike's recruiting efforfs easier. We are appreciative of Mike's suggestion that we also incorporate a roller rink due to the strong, existing program and the fact that the outside summer heat could be dangerous for the kids. As discussed, the ICE PALACE wishes to become part of the community and cooperate with schools, churches, non-profit organizations, recreation deparfments and large corporations. We are asking for no assistance (monetary or otherwise). The ICE PALACE is convinced that it ' DEC I I 1995 ��":C!"ti` ��.,, .. __ ... - _ , 4 r- �r ^j, can do a great deal of good for Bakersfield and we invite anyone who wishes to come see what has already been accomplished in Aliso Viejo.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please call me (310) 433-4889 or Glenn (714) 643-9648 at your convenience. Thanks again for your hospitality, Z� � Roberf G.

M' TO: FROM: SUBJECT: • B A K E R S F I E L D MEMORANDUM ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER JOHN W. STINSO ,�STANT CITY MANAGER RETIREE MEDICAL - RECOMMENDATION December 11, 1995 Staff from the City Manager's Office, City Attorney's Office and the City's health care consuftant have spent numerous months analyzing and reviewing possible solutions to the problems associated with our current Retiree Medical plan and its rapid increase in cost to the City. There have been many meetings with the Joint City/Employee Insurance Committee which have not resolved the issue. Practical and legal constraints have limited the available options to structure the plan in a logical manner. In order to address the City's escalating Retiree Heafth contributions within legal constraints and to provide afternatives and choices to Retirees currently in the Fee-for-Service plan, staff recommends unblending retiree Fee-for-Service rates effective July 1, 1996 with as early notice as possible to retirees. Staff will have to communicate this change to the retirees in an effective manner, explaining the need for the change and afternatives available. Although the increase in the Fee-for-Service rates may create a economic impact on some Retirees, they do have the following choices: a) Stay in Fee-for-Service and pay the higher rates b) Transfer to the Califomia Care HMO c) Transfer to the Medicare Risk plan d) Transfer to Medicare Staff also recommends: 1) Facilitate Transfer From Fee-for-Service: For those employees impacted by the increases to Fee-for-Service rates the City will assist them by providing information about options available to them such as transferring to the HMO or Medicare Risk plans. Special educational sessions, staffing or consulting efforts would be made to assist employees with special problems: a) Out of State Fee-for-Service Participants: There are twelve (12) retirees in the Fee-for- Service plan who do not reside in areas where the Califomia Care HMO is currently available. One (1) of these individuals has family coverage, eight (8) have two-party coverage and three (3) have single coverage. The City would look into afternatives for these retirees such as HMO plans in their areas (states) if available and affordable. b) For Those With Special Medical Problems: Paying the increased Fee-for-Service rates may be desirable to these individuals vs. participation in an HMO plan. The rate differences would now be appropriate relative to the less restricted level of care received. There may be other more cost effective alternatives available to these individuals through other sources such as professional organizations, Medicare Risk or separate coverages for dependents etc. The City would explore options available, provide educational assistance regarding health care choices available. % ., 12/11/95 Page 2- RETIREE MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS 2) Impiement Medicare Risk: City will implement a Medicare Risk option with the City contributing the cost of the Medicare Risk premium and a flat dollar amount up to the Medicare part B monthly premium for 1996 (estimated at approximately $42.50). The combined city contribution will not exceed 90% of the lower of the applicable HMO or Fee-for-Service single party rate. The City reserves the right to modify or eliminate this practice in the future in response to changes in medical plans by providers, the changes to the Medicare program by the Federal Government, or changes to economic or legal conditions, subject to the meet and confer requirements under the law with labor organizations. 3) Limit Retlree Medical Beneflts for the Un-Hired: Require that employees not yet hired will participate in the retiree medical plan only as follows: a) Employees must retire from service with the City of Bakersfield and have a minimum twenty (20) years service with the City of Bakersfield. Retirees only receive credit for each full year of City service. Retirees will only receive premium subsidy based on 3% per year of service up to a maximum of 30 years (90%), of the lower of the HMO or Fee for Service Single rate. In no case shall a retiree in this class receive more than 90% of their applicable rate structure (i.e. single without medicare rate, single with medicare rate, etc.) in subsidies from the City. b) All Retirees eligible due to previous contributions to the Federal Government to enroll in Medicare part A and all retirees when eligible by age or other qualification for Medicare part B are required to enroll in those plans as a condition of participation in retiree medical plans. c) Employees not yet hired shall not be eligible to receive the 42% Fee-for-Service plan subsidy. - Some aspects of this plan (such as the issue of employees not yet hired) require that we meet and confer with the unions. However, educational and informational efforts may begin as soon as a recommendation is approved by the City Council. � y • ,��, . s9oo seoo s�oo s6ao � uao s�ao ssoo s2ao uoo so eo ai e� a� e� as es a� ee as so �i n n s� u x � - citycaovihucion � Ret:s.coo�soe • Bred m Bkoded Rara Sauwre Example: (1996 monthly rates under current plan. with thirty years service) 9096 City 42% Cifiy HMO Rate Basic Rate Subsidy Subsidy Single $156.88 - $141.19 - $0.00 = Two Party $318.63 - $141.19 - $0.00 = Family $445.60 - $141.19 - $0.00 = Blended FFS Rate Single Two Party Family Unblended FFS Rate Single Two Party Family Basic Rate $247.52 - $489.81 - $730.98 - Basic Rate $319.98 - $631.78 - $943.99 - 9096 City Subsidy $141.19 - $141.19 - $141.19 - 90% City Subsidy $141.19 - $141.19 - $141.19 - 4296 City Subsidy $103.96 = $205.72 = $307.01 = 4296 City Subsidy $134.39 = $265.35 = $396.48 = Retiree Pays 52.37 s142.90 s282.78 Retiree Pavs $44.40 $22524 $406.32 12l05/95 :C' 7 .� � 1996 Retiree Fee-for-Service Rates Blended Years % City 42% City FFS Rate Basic Rate Service Subsidv Subsidy Single $247.52 30 $141.19 $103.96 $247.52 25 $117.66 $103.96 $247.52 20 $94.13 $103.96 $247.52 15 $70.60 $103.96 $247.52 10 $47.06 $103.96 $247.52 5 $23.53 $103.96 Two Party $489.81 30 $141.19 $205.72 $489.81 25 $117.66 $205.72 J $489.81 20 $94.13 $205.72 $489.81 15 $70.60 $205.72 $489.81 10 $47.06 $205.72 $489.81 5 $23.53 $205.72 Family $730.98 30 $141.19 $307.01 $730.98 25 $117.66 $307.01 $730.98 20 $94.13 $307.01 $730.98 15 $70.60 $307.01 $730.98 10 $47.06 $307.01 $730.98 5 $23.53 $307.01 Unblended Years % City 42% City FFS Rate Basic Rate Service Subsidy SubsidV Single $319.98 30 $141.19 $134.39 $319.98 25 $117.66 $134.39 $319.98 20 $94.13 $134.39 $319.98 15 $70.60 $134.39 $319.98 10 $47.06 $134.39 $319.98 5 $23.53 $134.39 Two Party $631.78 30 $141.19 $265.35 $631.78 25 $117.66 $265.35 $631.78 20 $94.13 $265.35 $631.78 15 $70.60 $265.35 $631.78 10 $47.06 $265.35 $631.78 5 $23.53 $265.35 Family $943.99 30 $141.19 $396.48 $943.99 25 $117.66 $396.48 $943.99 20 $94.13 $396.48 $943.99 15 $70.60 $396.48 $943.99 10 $47.06 $396.48 $943.99 5 $23.53 $396.48 12/12/95 f=• • � ��.

Retirees allocated $300 for Health and Welfare this year. After age 65, Medicare can kick in toward employee's premium, thus reducing employee's cost. City of Glendale Crista Saevke, Benefits (818) 548-2160 For retiree medical benefits, employees get credit for sick leave over 800 hours. For each 8 hours, they get a certain dollar amount credited toward their monthly premium if they stay in the City's plan. They have four units: Miscellaneous Employees, Management, Fire, and Police. The amount of credit depends on the Plan (i.e., Indemnity, California Care, Sigma, Kaiser). City of Oxnard Sue Cronk (805j 385-7598 The City is in the PERS retirement system.

City staff in attendance ir�cluded myself, Lee Andersen, Al1en Abe, Jack Hardisty and Lauren Dimberg. Councilmember Patricia Smith also attended. I outlined the steps the City had taken to form a Maintenance District for the proposed park and that the results of the survey were negative. They were told under current policy the city could not develop the park without a district in place and that it was our intent to drop the park and maintenance district issue at this time. They were also advised the property developer near Panorama and Morning Drive was receptive to trading the existing city owned park site for property on Panorama near Thorner School. The City School District has indicated they may be willing to mow and maintain a open turf area east of Thorner School. We are pursuing that idea with the School District. One individual offered to re-canvas the neighborhood to gain support for the Maintenance District if the park is moved closer to Panorama. We will be meeting with him this Friday. If the resident is sincere, I feel by adjusting the district boundaries and re-configuring and re-locating the park site, a Maintenance District is still possible and should be a top priority. As we began discussing potential uses for the Destec donation it became apparent that at least 60 or 70, of the estimated 100 attending the meeting, were from a well organized group in support of the Destec funds being used on the Highland High stadium project. The project consists of lighting the football field, installing bleachers, landscaping, etc. They presented a packet to Councilmember Smith in support of their request which included a petition with over 800 signatures. Supporters at the meeting included District Board members, School staff, parents clubs, parents, students, etc. � , � ' .'; � � v 7.' � Panorama Hills Park and Destec Funds (Cont) Dec. 7, 1995 On display was a list of potential projects complied by city staff as well as a list of projects that the elementary school district felt could be completed on their campuses. One individual requested lighting 2 to 4 soccer fields at the existing soccer complex near Hart Park. He indicated this would allow for more tournaments which would bring additional visitors into the community. He had some impressive figures on the contribution to the local economy. Other items discussed included the following: 1. Use of $290,000 development fees that have been previously collected. 2. Developing vacant lots within existing subdivisions with small parks. 3. Re-survey area based on potential land swap. 4. Upgrades to University Park. 5. Joint bidding with School if City installs like equipment. (ie. Sports Lighting) With the above information in mind, our plans are to proceed in the following manner. 1. Initiate an appraisal of the existing park site and potential areas to be traded. 2. Obtain a written commitment from the City School Board to maintain any improvements placed on their campuses and the potential turf area east/west of Thorner School. 3., Meet and assist the resident who is willing to re-canvass the neighborhood for a Maintenance District. 4. Contact State Parks for their requirements on a potential property exchange. 5. Use a portion of the Destec funds for some requested minor improvements at our existing Siemon and University Parks. I feel the meeting was very productive. We can correspondence and continued lobbying on the Highland stadium issue. Unless otherwise directed we will indicated above. Please call me at extension 3117 if comments or suggestions. cc: Lee Andersen, Community Services Manager Jack Hardisty, Development Services Director Raul Rojas, Public Works Director Allera �be, Assistant Parks Superintendent Lauren Dimberg, Engineer II expect some High School proceed as you have any s `.. � CITY OF - ._ �, �� CALIFORNIA 6�I�1�MRI�T('�? �(�G�b�C�C�� C�Plglf�Vil��bii P�f�� Ud0�0�G� � u��tc� cm ' � � isso Bakersiield City School District c/o Kenneth E. Garland, Ph.D. 1300 Baker Street Bakersfield, California 93305-4399 December 7, 1995 RE: DESTEC FUNDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES Dear Dr. Garland: At the neighborhood meeting held on December 5, 1995 there was discussion in favor of utilizing a portion of the Destec donation for recreational improvements on your school campuses. There was also some interest in acquiring the property east/west of Thorner School and developing it into a lighted turf area. In your previous letter, dated November 8, 1995, you indicated the City School District Board of Education will be required to give final approval if the District is asked to maintain the improvements. In order for City staff to proceed with a recommendation to the City Council we will need a response or direction from your Board to the follow questions: 1. If the property east/west of Thorner School was developed with turf, automatic irrigation, sports lighting, fencing and a small restroom; what maintenance commitment would the District be willing to provide, (including water, electricity, etc.)? 2. If sport lighting and/or exercise courses, etc. are placed on other existing campuses will the District assume operational and maintenance costs? 3. If the cost to maintain the lights are to be covered by user fees will the District coordinate reservations and programming of those facilities? Please be reminded that these facilities would most likely be utilized during non school operating hours, such as evenings, weekends, etc. Because this is a high priority issue we would appreciate your earliest response to this inquiry. Again, thank you in advance for your continuing assistance on this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information please contact me at your convenience.

We now have $2 applications in the URM Incentive Program. Currently 4 properties have been granted reimbursement checks representing a total of $19,744.62 in retrofit projects. They include: SO1 18th Street--New China Cafe, 1330 19th Street--Serrano's Furniture, 822 18th Street--Thorp's Harley Davidson Motorcycle, and 1918-1920 Eye Street-- Former Water Company Building. In addition, 10 properties have been given authorization to start their projects. We anticipate processing at least 7 reimbursement checks before January's report. Recognizing the increased reimbursement activity, the "first-come, iust-served" nature of the ince tive program, and our collective desire to accelerate this project and progress, we plan a ss mailing this month to reach all applicants to determine their project status. Applicants will be asked to phone into a specially established hot-line number by January 2nd with a description of their intent to pardcipate in the incentive program and update us on their progress.

The top legislative priority of CAEZ for the new legislative year is the uniiication of the two programs. This is also a top priority of the Trade and Commerce Agency, the state office charged with advocating the incentive area and enterprise zone programs. There are numerous enterprise zone-related bills that were introduced in the legislature during 1995 that are in a"limbo" status, since no action was taken on them before the end of the legislative session in September. There are four courses of action to consider relative to legislation that would follow through on the City Council's direction to secure enterprise zone status for our incentive area: The first alternative is legislation that will unify the two programs. Such legislation would affect all enterprise zones and incentive areas. The second alternative is adding language to an existing bill that would convert all incentive areas to enterprise zones. The third alternative is adding language that includes Bakersiield to an existing bill converting West Sacramento's incentive area to an enterprise zone. The fourth alternative is to have a legislator sponsor a new bill, often referred to as a"special interest" bill, which would benefit Bakersfield only. CAEZ has gone on record of opposing legislation that beneiits only speciiic industries or communities. Should legislation proceed that benefits only Bakersfield or other specified communities, we can be assured of two things: , � ��(� � G I�J: � Jake Wager December 11, 1995 Page Two •a lack of support from other communities, and •a large number of opposition letters from other communities. The new legislative session begins in January. Getting enterprise zone-related legislation passed this year will be through one of two avenues: l. iegislation proposed, but not approved, in 1995. Assembly bills introduced last year must be submitted to an Assembly policy or fiscal committee no later than January 8, 1996. Senate bills must be heard by the appropriate Senate committee between 7anuary 19 and 31. All 1995 bills must be approved and out of their respective house of origin by the end of January or those bills die. 2. Legisdation to be proposed in 1996. February 23, 1996 is the deadline to introduce any new bills for 1996. CAEZ has enjoyed success on legislative issues during the past two years. To continue this success, I will be joining other CAEZ members December 15 in Sacramento to discuss legislative priorities and action plans for the coming year. As happened last yeaz, we will meet with Trade and Commerce staff and their legislative representative, along with lobbyists from some of the larger California cities with enterprise zones and incentive areas. This meeting will build upon the successful interim hearing of the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee November 8 where the committee chair, Juanita MacDonald, voiced her support for unification of the programs. The results of the December 15 meeting will provide a clear path of legislative priorities that CAEZ and Trade and Commerce can support in 1996. dl/ezlegis.mem � B A K E R S F I E L D December 11, 1995 Honorable Brain Setencich, Speaker California Assembly Sacramento, California 95814 Subject: Enterprise zone legislation Dear Mr. Speaker, The Bakersfield City Council and Kern County Board of Supervisors have unanimously gone on record in support of converting the Southeast Bakersfield Incentive Area to an enterprise zone.

I have followed the controversy somewhat and have determined that there are some serious problems with the cunent proposal. Let me say that I am not a part of the SCAC but, living in the affected neighborhood I have received their mailers as well as that of Castle and Cooke. My main concern is that Castle and Cooke is trying to slip something in the back door in the name of profit for their company. I am upset that what was approved as a 200,000 square foot shopping center has turned into a 344,000 square foot center! Not to mention the not -so-upscale tenants waiting to occupy the center. I could continue this letter but I am sure you have heard most of what I would have to say. I am hoping this issue can be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties involved; including those of us who are not in the loop. Please do what you can to correct this crafty way of building what you want and not what has been approved! �� -� Pamela L.

Castle & Cooke has not been given adequate credit for coming up with this unprecedented and state of the art shopping concept called "Ming Avenue Mixed Use Center". Some excerpts of the proposal's wording were: " From the first moments of planning it was established that a Georgetown architectural style would be the guiding principal and image of the Center............ Although using a Georgetown theme may be unique in and of itself, this project goes a good deal further. It is planned to be a mixed-use center that would include cultural, retail, office and residential uses in an open mall setting ...............a place where outdoor concerts, fashion shows, clowns, movies, art galleries, ice cream shops, news stands, food specialty shops, beauty boutiques, offices, retailers, and even apartments are all blended to reflect the historical significance of Georgetown, not just the style ............... is designed to provide for a unique and uali Intensified Activity Center which Bakersfield can be proud of." All the residents in Haggin Oaks and the Oaks who are familiar with this proposal love it and Castle & Cooke having proposed it obviously must like it too (limit to retail and offices only if apartments are against City Ordinances in this proposal) and herein lies the solution to the Marketplace problem.This would be a win-win situation for all if used as a basis for a neighborhood shopping center. I urge you to read attached Castle & Cooke's letter and review the proposed beautiful arhitectural renderings as well. Your review will give Castle & Cooke's 1992 proposal the attention it deserves. You will see that the proposed center wili blend well with the neighborhood including Castle & Cooke's Seven Oaks development. City government officials and the public need to push together for really upscale, unique projects as the proposed "Ming Avenue Mixed Use Center" truly is. We should not let Johnny Carson's jokes about Bakersfield come true. In Castle & Cooke's 1992 words we need to build "unique and uali facilities which Bakersfield can be proud of ".

I am also one of the Haggin Oaks residents that is concerned about controlled growth. Please bear with me. My background is Commercial Real Estate. For eight years I promoted retail growth in the Bay Area with my emphasis in and around Fremont, California. I represented developers and made presentations to the Planning Commission, the City Council, and the Board of Supervisors. I was pro-growth then and I still am. Mr. Major, my concern is not with a shopping center on Ming Avenue, but the size and tenant mix. The center can be a great asset to Bakersfield, if properly done. However, it is my opinion that in this case, bieQ�er is not necessarily better. I know what it takes to not only secure good tenants but to keep them. Retail Real Estate has always been volatile, especially in community centers where anchor tenants can come and go. (Any size tenant). Mr. Major, please review carefully the two items of concern that are of utmost importance in the minds of some, if not all of the residents. The two concerns regarding The Market Place are size and tenant mix. Both of these items relate to traffic and people problems. Included are a couple of brochures of developments I have represented. As you can see, I do have some experience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

J. Andrew, M. Brac�y, S. Boyle, D. Delgado, K. Hersh, B, Ortiz, Jr., W. Tavom, Planning Department 1715 Chester Avenue Bakersfield, Ca. 93301 Dear Sirs, The Marketpiace Shopping Center 3'he EIR for the Marketplace fails to ac��ress the proposed service statian to be located at the corner of Ming Avenue and Scariet Oak. The tocation of ihe service station was identified by Mr. B. Freeman of Castie & Cooke at the meeting hetd in November. The service station is to be located 250' from my residence and certainiy does not support Castie & Cooke's assertion that they are putting in an upscale center which should "serve the needs of nearby residents". This service station will severely impact my property value and quality of Iife. Where does the EIR address the noise, Iight, traffic votume, hydrocarbon emissions and public safety issues associated with a service station? Where does the EIR address the operating hours for the service station? For such a business to be economicaily �__ _ successfui, three requirements must be met; i.e. sales volume of 100,000 gallons per � month, 24 hour operation 365 days per year, and a mini mart. Assuming each automobite has a 10 galton filt-up, where does the EIR address 10,000 automobile visits per month? Ten thousand automobile visits per month may be a conservative estimate as it does not take into account non fill-up visits or gasoiine delivery trucks. To support 100,000 gallons, 25 deliveries per month will be necessary with deliveries typicalty taking place during night-time hours. The view expressed by Castle & Cooke that property vaiues will not be impacted as a resuit of the MarketpIace is certainiy unreaiistic. My residence was assessed at $201,000 for I995/96 taac year. A telephone call to the Assessor's office resuited in my property value being reduced by $ I2,000, while my neighbor's property value was reduced by $15,000, also without any visit from an inspector represenring the Assessor's office. Residents further west in the Oaks backing on to Ming Avenue did not have their property value decreased nor did homeowners of the Oaks/Haggin Oaks iocated two streets back from Ming Avenue. Based on wiiat has happened to my property value, it is �: safe to assume that the Assessor's office is wet} aware of the impact the Marketplace wiil have on property adjacent to thz Center. VVhere does the EIR address the impact to my property value and what mitigation measures are proposed? VVhen endangered species are impacted with any devetopment, developers have to pay large sums of money as mitigation V�here is the mitigation for impacted homeowners? I object to the fact that the inclusion of the service station has not been addressed in the EIR. As a result of the service station my residence, among many others, wi�i be subjected to noise 24 hours per day, and to artificiai light during the night-time hours. Public safety is aiso of concern. It is common knowiedge that 24 hour mini marts are a target for the criminal element in our society. I am troubled by the fact that the EIR was done without specific reference to the proposed service station. I have dealt personaily with EIR's and CUP's in Fresno, Monterey and Kern Counties and in every case they had to be complete. In my opinion the EIR as presented is not valid because it is woefully incomplete. I trust that this issue will receive your carefui consideration. Yours sincerely, /�%%�� Gordon M. Thomson c.c.

' i�L� � 0 ,��'�� December 4, 1995 ._ . . . : k TO: Mayors and City Managers FROM: Sedalia Sanders, Mayor, El Centro President, League of California Cities -- SUBJECT: �996-97 League Budget/Proposed Dues Increase ° - � Board Adopts �,eague's First Two-Year Budget At its Novembeir 17-18 meeting, the League board of directors adopted a League budget for 1996 and 1997. This is the League's first two-year budget. This new process allows the board to set L'eague-wide priorities, goals and objectives within a realistic timeframe for program development and implementation. The board spent a great deal of time in October and November board meetings discussing the services and programs the League will provide during the next two years and we are very proud of the work program and spending plan we have outlined. As part of the balanced budget, a dues increase of two percent for each of the two years is recommended. This is lower than the increase in the consumer price index. The � ratification process for a dues increase calls for confirmation by the League's sixteen ' regional divisions by February 5, 1996. If a division does not respond, it will be counted as a vote to ratify the dues increase as provided in the League's bylaws. A Time of Challenge; A Time of Opportunity � For the past several years, pressure has been building for changes in government structure ' and intergovernmental relationships. The Supreme Court's recent decision in the Santa Clara Counry case has catapulted to the forefront of the League's concern the city council's authority to establish local service levels and funding sources. Addressing Proposition 62 issues has become the League's number one legal and legislative priority. Already we have filed a legal brief with the supreme court supporting the Santa Clara County Transportation Authority's petition for rehearing. We have also had meetings with the governor and legislative leaders to explore legislative remedies to the 0 �. implications of the court's d'ecision. We will continue to keep c'ities apprised of these developments through bulletins, faxes and a new "In the Red" Alert geared specifically to thi"s critical issue. � ti� '..,� Amidst tliese cliallenges, we are facing the best opportunity in decades to achieve '- meanirigful long=term reforni of state and local government structure in California; The ' League'boa"rd is `enthusiastic about the uriique role cities can play "iri engaging the public ' 'i to become aware of our challenges and opportunities and in encouraging the public to ' participate in seeking and implementing sound solutions. The League's policy, I articulated in "Making California's Governments Work," served as a focal point for discussion b cit officials, the California Constitution Revision Commission and other Y Y . o"rganizations. Our ciirrent challenge is to heighten awareness of the issues and foster clebate tliat will result in solutions that are good for the cities and the people of California. T_his_is_anotlier�igh_priorit.y_for_League_acti:vit.y_during1946_and_97_.�Alxead_y-the_L,eague. _ has produced a ten-minute video, "Revising the Future," to assist city officials in this process. It was unveiled at the Annual Conference and copies are now available for � ' airirig on cable chanriels and at council sessions and community meetings. Other priorities addressed in the 1996-97 work program and budget include: : New Federalism. Congress is currently debating a new and a very different means to deliver federal programs and se'rvices by providing massive block grants of federal - dollars�to states and giving tHe states the flexibility to administer programs. The proposals preseritly beirig debated could have tremendous impact on cities where ' cities are direct recipients of federal program dollars. Indirect effects will come from � . clianges in health and welfare programs that affect the well-being of citizens in California cities. This project represents one of the most important and massive clianges in intergovernmental relations in perhaps 30 years and could set the direct'ion for federal, state, and local governments for the next 30 years. � Urban Development Authority. One of the more volatile areas of city and county relations is the approval and control of urban development on the fringe of city boundar-ies. The_League'_s_goal_is_to_strengthen_cit.y_authority o�er_ur.ban_develo.pment. � Cities are better suited from both a structural and accountability standpoint to make urban developmenY decisions. • Grassroots/Leadership Development. To achieve the League's strategic goals requires an organization that is ready from an educational standpoint to perform the tasks necessary to make these needed changes. This requires educational opportunities, technological support and a strong communication effort: It also involves the active participation of the board, division and department officers, policy committee members, and other city officials. Components of this program will ` include training for City Legislative Delegates in the legislative process, the politics of the elections process, grassroots coinmunication, etc. Efforts will also be taken to .� �� strengthen the divisions and departments of the League and to enlist their participation in achieving the major projects being undertaken to achieve strategic goals. Besides these important new projects on the League's agenda, we will continue to • provide ongoing vital services including educational opportunities, information services and legislative representation. In fact, as city staffs are being cut and the courts and the legislature continues to threaten the fiscal integrity of cities, more and more is being asked of the League. About the League Dues League dues follow a sliding scale based upon city population. With the intent of being __ __as accurate and fair as possible, the League bylaws provide that,.for membership dues _ _ __ purposes, "the population of each city shall be the population determined�by the State Controller in making the most recent allocation of subventions to cities." (Article X, Section 1) This has the advantage of linking dues directly to subvention revenues, one measure of ability to pay. The dues formula does not provide for natural growth that tracks the cost of living or economic growth. For dues revenue to keep pace with inflation, the board must increase dues. The proposed increase of two percent is the minimum required to fund the vital and dynamic work program we will tackle during the next two years. In my city of El Centro, population 38,541, the increase amounts to only $103. For a larger city of 100,000 . population, the increase is $194. Summary As requested by our members in last year's customer survey, the board is looking ahead and providing proactive leadership on the issues that are most critical and on which we can have the most beneficial influence. Our organization is strong. In addition to having 100 percent membership -- a remarkable achievement of which we are very proud -- we are seeking the active and direct involvement of all cities. The financial condition of the League is sound; current year operating costs are covered by current year revenues. The two-year budget is essentially a break-even budget. The estimates are tight, but it works. It will allow the League to move forward in a very positive and effective way. If you desire additional information or a copy of the 1996-97 work program and budget, please contact Dan Harrison in the League's Sacramento office. Thank you for your continuing support of the League. ..r .:�' :..
