TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COU~IL.~
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. A status report on our annexation educational campaign is enclosed. We have developed a
proposed schedule for surveying the residents in three of the four areas and then officially
commencing with the annexation filing process.
2. Also enclosed is an update from EDCD on our graffiti removal program for the first four months
of 1996, including a comparison of City/County eradication activity. Their general activity
report for May is also enclosed.
3. We plan to have individual meetings with the property owners who will be affected by the
establishment of the Chester Avenue Maintenance District. A progress report on that project
is enclosed.
4. The latest set of responses to your budget questions is enclosed.
5. Staffwill meet with the DTSC and Kleinfelder next week regarding the Expedited Remediation
Program for the burn dump. Following that will be a site conference on July 8th.
6. Mid-week we received notice of a new federal grant round for police positions. We are
evaluating it and may bring something forward in connection with final budget adoption.
7. You may have read a news article on an I Street transportation hub this week. It was studied
in the 80's and was rejected.
8. Industrial prospects for the southeast area are the warmest ever, that's still not delivered, but
we are working.
9. The informal staff "read" from talks with County staff and private haulers is that universal
garbage collection is not just around the corner. Who knows - it may never even come to a
formal vote!

10. A comment on the Fire Study Committee and their vote to consolidate - under what revenue and
taxation assumptions? The County wants a cost plus overhead arrangement - the City wants to
decide service levels based on ability to pay. Very tough issues like that have not even been
considered.

TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
FROM.~fD.B. TEUBNER, ASSISTANT TO TI-IE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: PROPOSED WARD BOUNDARIES WHICH INCLUDE PHASE I AND
PHASE II ANNEXATION AREAS
_ As you know, we are in the process of completing the educational campaign in three of the four
annexation areas. In reviewing our progress I have developed a schedule of when I would like to
survey the area and when I anticipate officially beginning the annexation filing process.
Area Proposed Survey Date Proposed Filing Date
Casa Loma July 15, 1996 August 15, 1996
Chester July 15, 1996 August 15, 1996
Dennen August 1, 1996 September 1, 1996
Old Stockdale Undetermined Undetermined
The survey will be included as part ora final newsletter edition which staff'is already working on
developing. Once the results are tallied, we will put out a letter to residents with the results and
move forward with the first public hearing before the Planning Commission. In anticipation of
these deadlines, I would like Planning to proceed with the pre-zoning of the Chester area starting
July 1, 1996.
With the pending conclusion of Phase I of our informational campaign, we should begin looking
at how the areas, once annexed, will affect ward boundaries. Planning has developed a proposed
boundary map as a starting point from which to begin the apportionment of these new areas. The
proposal includes Dennen in Ward 7, Casa Loma in Ward 1, Chester in Ward 2 and if ever
accomplished, Old Stockdale in Ward 5.
Secondarily, we can begin looking at the areas to be included in the Phase II informational
campaign. We are researching several different areas for possible inclusion into Phase II.
Planning is working on preparing/updating case sheets on the possible Phase II areas. I
recommend definitely including Castro and Southgate (including the fairgrounds) and possible
inclusion of one of the following three: Rancho Laborde Extension, Curran # 1 or White Lane
#10. I have tentatively assigned area captains to the proposed Phase II areas to facilitate research
on the areas. These include myself and Martin Ortiz for Castro and Curran, Randy Fidler for
Southgate and/or Laborde Extension and Jack LaRochelle(or designee) for White Lane #10. I
would like to move Trudy Slater~ and Andre Devereaux, area captains for Dennen and Casa Loma,
to the Part B marketing effort for areas which are in the annexation process. Therefore, they
would be following Dennen, Chester and Casa Loma through the annexation filing.
I would anticipate beginning the Phase II areas sometime in late August. If you have any
questions, please let me know.

SUBJECT: Graffiti Update
CITY/COUNTY GRAFFITI ERADICATION COMPARISON
A City/County comparison of graffiti eradication activity dt~ng the first four months of the 1996
year follows. The comparison is based on information recently provided to the City by the
County of Kern.

'~C~TY MANAGEP;S OFFICE
The chart indicates the overwhelmingly difference between the graffiti eradication work done in
the City and the County.
The increase in sites serviced since the month of February is due to the following:
* The City's graffiti paint crew increased to four painters.
* The sole responsibility of one of the painters is the use of the power washer. This is
done specially on City walls throughout the South and North West areas.
* City painters do not only service locations reported through the HotLine. As they see
graffiti, they obtain property owners' signed consent on the spot and proceed to remove
the graffiti, or make a paint delivery to the property owner.
MAY GRAFFITI ACTIVITY
In the month of May, there were 180 HotLine calls. A total of 270 locations were serviced, 86
of them were power washed, and 241.75 §Is. of paint were used on the rest. Power washing
City walls without waiting for citizen reporting has definitely made a difference in the amount
of calls received on the HotLine. There were 72 HotLine calls from the South West, 62 from
CDBG areas, and 46 from other parts of town. Seven individuals adopted City areas this month:
4 in the South West, 2 in CDBG areas, and 1 in the North East. We have now a total of 175
individuals in the Adopt-A-Wall program.
May was a busy month because of the Anti-Graffiti Poster & Essay contest and awards
ceremony. Besides being a good educational tool, the contest helped promote the City's graffiti
program, as well as, increase the relationship between the City and the Bakersfield City School
District.

SUBJECT: Chester Avenue Maintenance District
Public Works has now determined that the Chester Avenue Maintenance District, most
appropriately, belongs in Tier 4 of the Consolidated Maintenance District. This would apply to all
parcels fronting on Chester Avenue between Truxtun Avenue and 23rd Street. The Chester Avenue
parcels between 23rd and 24th streets would fall into the Tier 1 since they will have only trees and
no medians or street fumiture. The actual annual assessment will be based on each parcel being the
equivalent of 6 dwelling units per acre. The acreage will be calculated on the basis of 50% for the
lot area and 50% by building area. By way of example, a small food establishment (in the Tier 4
area) would be assessed $36 a year while one of the larger parcels with a multi-story building on it
would be charged $740 annually. I believe these types of numbers to be acceptable. Within the next
thirty days, I will be setting up individual appointments with the property owners and reviewing with
them our projected annual assessment. I will provide you with a periodic update of my progress on
the establishment of the maintenance district.

FY 1996197 BUDGET WORKSHOP
QUESTIONS/RESPONSES
Date: June 10, 1996
Question Response Councilmember
No. 1: Could monies from the overtime budget be Overtime monies could be used to fund an additional position however, McDermott
used to fund additional positions? reducing overtime would limit the department's ability to address the
need for court appearances, special enforcement efforts, temporary
increases in calls for service and response to unforseen critical
incidents. Overtime covers all of these important activities.
No. 2: What is the top pdority unfunded request? The department is currently experiencing a back log in the entry of McDermott
crime reports into the Records Management System (RMS). Two clerk
typists are being proposed for FY 96-97 to handle the increased
workload generated by the new sworn positions and temporary pay was
increased in order for the department to begin catching up on their RMS
backlog. The department still feels that it needs additional cledcal help
to fully address the backlog. The total cost for a cledcal position is
$28,500 per year.
No. 3: Does the Police Department have plans to The issue has been explored, however it would require staffing a unit Carson
develop a Domestic Violence Unit? full time which would require reassigning at least 10 officers from field
duty, creating a negative impact on the response rate to Calls for
Service. The BPD responded to 273.5 spousal abuse incidents in FY
95/96. Sworn officers below the rank of Sergeant receive ongoing
training in domestic violence as mandated by the POST requirements.
No. 4: What actions could the City undertake to The BPD will be assigning an officer, full-time to graffiti eradication DeMond
strengthen the Police Department's graffiti program? efforts. The officer will work with a citywide task force to target graffiti.
In addition, the proposed budget includes funding for surveillance
cameras which should assist in identifying graffiti vandals.
No. 5: Could the Calloway and Hageman signal be The signals could be traded since the construction cost is the same for McDermott
traded for the Hageman and Riverlakes signal? each. A memo is attached which provides additional detail.
No. 6: Is the project at Olive Dr. from Riverlakes to The priority list has been revised to include this project, McDermott
Calloway, on the Transportation Impact priodty
projects list?.
No. 7: Provide a progress report on the Bdmhall An initial letter was sent to property owners seeking approval for the McDermott
widening project, placement of a lien on their properties to allow future recovery of the
cost of constructing the Bdmhall frontage along the respective
properties. No response was received and therefore a second letter is
being sent again requesting approval of the lien placement.
No. 8: Can the signal at Allen and Bdmhall be moved The traffic signal could be moved up. A memo is attached with McDermott
up in the CIP schedule from 2000 to 19997 additional information.
No. 9: Provide information on how we could Public Works staff recommends increasing resources for street McDermott
substantially increase the budget for street maintenance by $130,000 including $100,000 for materials and
maintenance. $30,000 for temporary salaries. Any further increase would require
additional permanent employees and additional equipment and would
cause the deletion of some other currently recommended projects such
as the Brimhall at Harvest Creek traffic signal, the Harris at Stine signal
and the Auburn street resurfacing.
No. 10: Should we include a modification of the signal According to the County the signal at Faire/ay and Stockdale is on hold Rowles
at Ashe and Stockdale in the ClP budget to coordinate for an uncertain pedod of time but will definitely not be done this year.
with the proposed County traffic signal at FainNay and This makes budgeting for a modification to the City signal at Ashe and
Stockdale? Stockdale unnecessary at this time. A memo with more detail is
attached.
No. 11: Does Traffic Engineering have adequate A memo outlining Traffic Engineering's future need for additional DeMond
resources to respond to traffic study requests in a resources. The Traffic Operations Center, mentioned, is projected to
timely manner? be operational in June of 1997.
No. 12: Can CDBG monies be used in place of Capital Attached is a listing of the proposed CIP projects for the MLK Center Rowles
Outlay Fund monies for improvements at the MLK which are CDBG eligible. Proposed FY 96-97 projects for the MLK
Center? Center include $72,500 in Capital Outlay Fund which could be
rebudgeted to other projects if CDBG is available.
2
No. 13: Outline alternative accounting strategies that Due to the circumstances of the purchase of the Panorama homes, it is McDermott
could be used for the purchase of homes in the position of the Finance Director that the current accounting strategy
connection with the Panorama burn dump. used is correct. A memo with additional information is attached.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR///~.~
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS FROM THE FlSCALYEAR
1996/97 BUDGET WORKSHOP.
QUESTION:
COULD THE CALLOWAY AND HAGEMAN SIGNAL BE TRADED FOR THE
HAGEMAN AND RIVERLAKES SIGNAL? (MCDERMOTT)
RESPONSE:
Yes, the Calloway at Hageman signal project could be substituted by the Council
for the proposed Hageman at Riverlakes traffic signal in the CIP.
Recent evaluation by Traffic Engineering of the 30 warranted signal locations in
the City show that Calloway at Hageman has now risen in priority to about the
same as the Hageman at Riverlakes project. The engineer's estimate, for traffic
signal construction only, is about the same, so no change in the budget amount
is required. The estimate does not include road widening or the addition of new
traffic lanes for increased capacity.
If Council desires to change the project list, a motion to substitute the projects,
with the same budget amount, would be appropriate.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS FROM THE FISCAL YEAR
1996/97 BUDGET WORKSHOP.
QUESTION:
CAN THE SIGNAL AT ALLEN AND BRIMHALL BE MOVED UP IN THE CIP
SCHEDULE FROM 2000 TO 19997 (McDERM.OTT)
RESPONSE:
Yes. The position of traffic signals in the budget for future years is simply a
holding place based on an estimate of when the warranted signal may be funded.
The relative position in the future budget years is not an absolute position or
priority. The future years project position is only an estimate by Traffic
Engineering of probable need and funding based on information about traffic and
development, including projected school openings, that was available at the time
the budget was prepared. Warranted traffic signal locations are evaluated each
year by Traffic Engineering as part of the budget process and future year
positions changed as new information on development, schools and/or traffic
patterns, is received and the traffic signal list then re-prioritized.
Based on information from the Kern High School District that the proposed high
school near Brimhall and Jewetta is anticipated to be open in August 1999, the
signals at both Allen and at Jewetta at Brimhall may be needed in the 1998-99
fiscal year CIP, or sooner. This will again be taken into consideration when the
1997-98 CIP is proposed.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/¢~
FROM:
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS FROM THE FISCAL YEAR
1996/97 BUDGET WORKSHOP.
QUESTION:
DOES THE CITY NEED TO INCLUDE A MODIFICATION OF THE SIGNAL AT
ASHE AND STOCKDALE IN THE ClP BUDGET IN ORDER TO COORDINATE
WITH THE PROPOSED TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT FAIRWAY AND STOCKDALE?
(ROWLES)
RESPONSE:
A separate project item to modify the traffic signal at Ashe and Stockdale is not
necessary. The project is included as one of several minor projects in the project
titled "Traffic Control Modifications - Various Locations". This general project title
is designed to handle small projects previously identified and those that come up
during the year.
At this time, it is unlikely that the County's project at Fairway and Stockdale will
be built this year. Per County staff, the Fairway signal project that makes the
modification to Ashe and Stockdale a necessity is on "hold" for an uncertain time.
Funding problems and a further diminishing of support by the Old Stockdale
residents have caused Supervisor Peterson to stop the project for the time being.
County staff did not know when the project would move forward again.
Although the modification to Ashe and Stockdale will benefit some City residents,
the prime beneficiary of the change are the County residents of the Old Stockdale
area. This area has been proposed for annexation by the City several times, but
has always been rejected by the residents. No changes to the budget are
needed at this time.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS FROM THE FISCALYEAR
1996/97 BUDGET WORKSHOP.
QUESTION:
DOES TRAFFIC ENGINEERING HAVE ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT AND
PERSONNEL TO RESPOND TO TRAFFIC STUDY REQUESTS IN A TIMELY
MANNER? (DeMOND)
RESPONSE:
No. The staffing of the Traffic Engineering section was reduced in 1993 from 8
positions to 7 positions through attrition. An Engineer II position in the Traffic
Operations area was not filled and then ,eliminated during the budget process.
This increased the workload on the remaining staff members in Traffic
Engineering. As an example, timing evaluations that should be done on all
signals every two to three years are only done on a response basis at this time.
About 220 signals are now in operation with more being added.
Based on recent reviews of the Traffic Engineering section by Kimley-Horn and
Associates, as part of their recommendations for a Traffic Operations Center,
additional engineers are needed to support traffic operations. They recommend
that one engineer and one engineering technician be added as soon as possible
to take care of the existing traffic operations needs. With the completion of the
Traffic Operations Center, an additional engineering position and a technician
position will be needed to take full advantage of the Traffic Operations Center
monitoring and signal operatiOns abilities.
The increased staffing need identified in the Kimley-Horn report is confirmed by
a report on the Traffic Engineering section that was done a few years ago by the
Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Berkeley. Based on
the current City population, the report suggests that Traffic Engineering should
have a staff of nine engineers and technicians to handle the demands for service.
With respect to equipment, 3 additional traffic counting units are proposed for
purchase in the budget. This will bring the total units available to count traffic to
24 units. This is at, or near, the limit that the traffic count technician can handle
without additional personnel helping in the count process. To accomplish more
traffic counts in traffic studies will require an additional person along with
additional equipment.
In summary, Traffic Engineering is understaffed for the size of the City and the
demands for traffic studies. Two positions are needed now, an engineer and a
technician, along with appropriate equipment to perform their tasks. An additional
two to three engineers and technicians will be needed in the next two years to
fully utilize the capability of a Traffic Operations Center beyond simple monitoring
of traffic signals.

Project Title: HVAC Replacement - MLK Center Project #: Initial FY: 1997-98
Location: Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center Ward #: 2 Priority: High
DeptlDiv: Public Works - General Services
Justification: The heating and air conditioning equipment at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center was originally installed when the Center was built 22
years ago. The equipment is now at the end of its useful mechanical life and is substantially less energy efficient than products that are available today. By replacing
this equipment now we can avoid excess down time and have fewer interruptions in service to the building.

MEMORANDUM
JUNE 11, 1996
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GREGORY J. KLIMKO, FINANCE DIRECTOR/ff
SUBJECT: PANORAMA HOMES SALES PROCEEDS
Councilman McDermott raised an accounting policy question at the Department Budget
Presentation on June 10, 1996. The question pertains to the acquisition and proposed
subsequent sale of homes on Panorama Drive overlooking an inoperative burn dump/landfill.
If my understanding of the issue is correct, th~ councilman views the purchase of the homes not
as an expenditure but an exchange of one asset (cash) for another (the homes).
While the councilman is correct that the purchase of the homes is an exchange of assets, it
appears to be an exchange of a liquid asset (cash) for a non-liquid asset (real property related
to a landfill mitigation process.)
The City's budget is prepared essentially on a "cash basis". This means that cash and other
liquid assets (readily available assets which can be converted to cash within 90 days) are part
of the revenue stream which are used to pay for the operating and capital costs during a fiscal
year.
There are at least three items of concern regarding the homes. First, staff estimates that the
purchase of the homes, the landfill mitigation and marketing the homes for resale may take
place during 1996-97. However, completing the sale may be concluded in 1997-98 or
thereafter at which time sale proceeds would be realized as a revenue. Second, the amount of
sale proceeds may be very difficult to estimate since we have no history of homes for sale under
these unique circumstances. Third, the sale proceeds when available may be needed to fund
other expenditures related to the landfill closure (i.e., additional property acquisitions or
additional mitigation.)
