HomeMy WebLinkAbout08/09/96 K E R S F I E. L. D MEMORANDUM August 9,1996 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY CO/,~ ~ FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER ~ / SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION ,~ / 1. The Ming Avenue sewer rehabilitation project began last week. We discovered that a 400 foot portion of the trunk line will have to be replaced, rather than rehabilitated. The change order for this work will require Council approval and will be placed on the August 21st Council agenda, however, the work will have been completed by then. A memo is enclosed. 2. We believe we are one of two finalists for he second largest of the two warehousing operations we have been competing for. We will make every effort to be selected. 3. We are exchanging paperwork with a potential factory outlet developer. It's a great idea, but this is the third or fourth location discussed over the last several years with the same party, so we would characterize it as being exploratory. 4. The West Beltway location has been proposed to be moved farther west so none of it would be in the current city limits. That will come before the Planning Commission on its way to City Council in the fairly near future. 5. A local auto dealer is discussing filming a commercial on the island in Truxtun Lake - we will cooperate. 6. The County District Attomey is doing a private sector bid to acquire land, build a structure and lease it back. We have been approached on some of the land we own for an exclusive option. Staffbelieves we should offer our surplus land to any and all bidders under the same terms and conditions, rather than aligning with only one. 7. "FOG" information is enclosed showing ticket pricing, advertising costs, etc. If you get the opportunity to promote, remember they are the Convention Center's largest revenue source. They have added a great many very affordable ticket packages and options this year. Honorable Mayor and City Council August 09, 1996 Page 2 8. Responses to Council inquiries are attached, as follows: · Status on the CalTrans Overlay on 24th Street; · Research methods to keep birds from roosting on downtown rooftops and eaves; · Listing of the deficiencies with the Fire Study, as per the RFP/contract agreement. AT:rs cc: Department Heads Pamela McCarthy, Acting City Clerk Trudy Slater, Administrative Analyst BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: AUGUST 8, 1996 f TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER/~'//~" FROM: ~AUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: MING AVENUE SEWER REHABILITATION Last week, the Contractor began work on the Ming Avenue sewer rehabilitation project. This project consists of rehabilitating and/or replacing approximately 4000 lineal feet of a 30 inch trunk line. On Monday of this week, a 400 foot portion of the trunk line was found to be in far worse condition than originally thought. This was discovered after that portion of the line was thoroughly cleaned which apparently accelerated the pipe's deterioration. Due to its extensive deterioration, this portion of the trunk line must be replaced rather than rehabilitated (slip-lined). Since this work will involve a change in conditions, a change order must be processed which will require Council approval. The necessary change order will be placed on the August 21, 1996 Council agenda. The actual work will be completed by then.

The Fog is entering its second season of thrilling, pulse pounding, board smashing hockey and now is your chance to get involved. Following the 1995-96 Fog season some changes were made both on and offthe ice. The front office is very excited about the opportunities at hand and are very much looking forward to marketing the Fog in the corporate sector of Bakersfield. One of the most dramatic changes the Fog has made is the changing of the their philosophy in terms of sponsorship. Sponsorship of a professional sports team is becoming a non-existent concept. Hanging a sign in an arena does very little for a company that needs to create traffic and build sales. That is why the Fog have renamed their sponsorship programs to Corporate Partnerships. With this new terminology comes programs to not only build name awareness and image enhancement but strong, effective programs that drive people to the Fogs Corporate Partners door steps and ultimately buy product. The West Coast Hockey League offers a refreshing look at how sports can be affordable, family oriented, professional entertainment. The WCHL, in just its second season, is committed to major league entertainment at minor league prices. The league and the Fog are creating and implementing new programs for the fans and Corporate Partners to get involved. The 1996-97 Fog season is shortly approaching and the Fog are continuing to attack the market place with new and original promotional opportunities for our Corporate Partners to get involved. The following proposal has been created for Generic Company to partner with the Bakersfield Fog for the 1996-97 season. Inside you will find a variety of media packages, promotions, ticket packages, hospitahty, etc. customized to fit Generic Company's specific goals. So with out further ado the Bakersfield Fog present the Generic Company's Corporate Partnership with the Bakersfield Fog!!! Elements: 1. Print 1.1 Program Advertisement Advertising in the Bakersfield Fogs Official Game Program is a catalyst for a Corporate Partnership with the Fog. It sets the tone for Generic Company's campaign and offers the advertiser multiple readers and an unlimited time period in which to release their message. The Fogs program will beprmted four times during the season in order to add additional advertisers, feature articles, change current advertisers messages,, and increase sales of the program itself. Value: $500.00-$2,500.00 1.2 Fog Facts Insert Inside every game program is the Fog Facts Insert.

He asked for our patience and assured me they will get the work done. cc: Steve Walker BJD:bd s:\wp~24thrsr f. mem BAKERSFIELD MEMORANDUM AUGUST 5, 1996 TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: TRUDY SLATER, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST III ~ SUBJECT: PROBLEMS WITH BIRDS (CITY COUNCIL REFERRAL WF00009782/001, 7~24~96) I have checked with City staff to see what type of technology is available to keep birds (particularly pigeons) from roosting on downtown rooftops and eaves. There are several different types of stainless steel pigeon and bird control "spike" type strips which once installed prevent birds from landing in areas where they are unwanted. Costs vary with the size and lengths needed. Attached is a price list for such "spike" type apparatuses. Other avenues to keep away (or remove) unwanted birds might be scaring them with reflective string, reflective decals and tail (a "scare eye") similar to what hangs outside the City Manager's Office; bird netting for exposed areas such as balconies, vents, or rafters; or "sticky-foot" repellent which is a compound which adheres to all types of surfaces while remaining sticky, thus repelling birds from roosting on treated surfaces. Citylink was used to contact other cities regarding what they do to control pigeon roosting problems. No responses have been received thus far. I will keep you informed as more information becomes available.

Deficiencies with Fire Study as per the RFP/contract agreement: 1. All recommendations were required to be supported with background documentation which clearly detailed the key provisions which led to the recommendation, as well as an in-depth comprehensive const/benefit analysis. The final draft focussed on the consolidation recommendation, however, it did not include a specific financing plan that identified how and when resources were to be transferred or purchased; or how the City would be Compensated for its assets. There was no real recommendation to retain and enhance the JPA, therefore, there were no dollars associated with the enhancement of the JPA. Basically the only thing consistently mentioned was a possible lose $6 million to the County if they did not participate in the delivery of fire service in the metro area. 2. Milestone Products: 30 copies of a Final Report, hand delivered to each project coordinator, 15 for each entity. Agreement states "A final payment in the amount of $9,968 will be made upon Consultant's presentation of the Final Report to the City Council and the Board of Supervisors." An additional presentation to the joint Intergovernmental Relations Committee was also suggested. A final report has not been received and no presentation has been given to either elected body by the consultant, 3. Time Schedule to complete the project was 18 weeks (Agreement signed January 10, 1995, work began February 1, 1995). A final draft report was submitted in February 1996. 4. Progress Reports to include: report period, summary of hours worked and by whom, current project status, areas of concern. The City has record of receiving only two monthly progress reports dated March 10, 1995 and April 17, 1995. 5. The fire study was suppose to address 1) at least three possible organizational restructuring concepts; and 2) the retention of the JPA (with modifications in seven specific areas, including service area boundaries, operational responsiblities, necessary resources, and siting critiera for new facilities.) The study lacked any thorough analysis and recommendation development of retaining the jpA.

The attached resolution requests that the Legislature amend SB 1505 to delete language repealing the Separation of Grade Program from the bill. Annual separation of grade appropriations totaling $15 milhon provide 80 percent of the cost of highway/railroad overpasses and undercrossings statewide. Under this critical program, many dangerous at-grade railroad crossings have been eliminated in the greater Bakersfield area of Kern County. Since 1980 alone, six grade separations have been built using nearly $24 million in state appropriations supplemented by $7.25 million in railroad and local government funds. However, if section 190 of the Streets and Highways Code is repealed by enactment of SB 1505, two projects now in the planning stages which have already received partial funding may have to be terminated. In addition, seven other projects in the Bakersfield area which are now on the Public Utilities Commission priority list for future funding will likely never be built. Elsewhere in Kern County, the communities of Delano, Rosamond, Shafter, Tehachapi and Wasco also need grade separations which would have a reasonable chance of being funded under this statewide program in the future. Elimination of the Separation of Grade Program would deal a severe blow to public safety in Kern County and in other regions across the state which depend on this program. Traffic congestion and delays caused by at-grade crossings will also choke economic growth in these areas.

Whereas, (a) Kern County is bisected by two major railroad lines, the Main Line of the Southern Pacific and the Main Line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe; and (b) The urban Bakersfield area and other cities and communities within Kern County contain many dangerous at-grade crossings of these two major railroad lines, subjecting the citizens of Kern County to blocking delays, traffic congestion and crossing accidents; and (c) For more than 40 years, as part of the State Separation of Grade Program, the Public Utilities Commission has ranked separation of grade projects throughout the State of California most urgently in need of construction according to a scientific cost/benefit formula; and (d) For more than 40 years, the California Transportation Commission has allocated State Highway Fund monies appropriated annually pursuant to section 190 of the Streets & Highways Code for the construction of the most urgently needed grade separation projects throughout the State, as determined by the Public Utilities Commission: and #96-359 (e) Over the last 40 years, many dangerous at-grade railroad crossings have been eliminated in the greater Bakersfield area thanks to the Separation of Grade Program, including Beale Avenue at the Southern Pacific. Chester Avenue at the AT&SF, Chester Avenue at the Southern Pacific, Truxtun Extension at the AT&SF, Union Avenue at the Southern Pacific, H Street at the AT&SF, Fairfax Road at the Southern Pacific and Oswell Street at the Southern Pacific; and (f) Construction has commenced on the Coffee Road Overpass at the AT&SF, a project' which received an initial allocation of $3.2 million under the State Separation of Grade Program: and (g) The County of Kern next year will commence construction of the Oak Creek Road overpass of the Southern Pacific in Mojave, another project funded in part with funds appropriated under Streets & Highways Code section 190; and (hi The Greater Bakersfield Separation of Grade District in cooperation with the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern has nominated a number of additional separation of grade projects for priority ranking by the Public Utilities Commission, including Baker/East 'lTmcttm, Morning Drive, Seventh Standard Road, Calloway Drive, Q Street and Ollve Drive, and additional projects will be nominated In the future as growth accelerates in the Bakersfield area; and (i) Many other communities in Kern County also have dangerous at-grade crossings which may qualify for funding by the State Separation of Grade Program in the future; and (j) SB 1505 now under consideration in the State Legislature proposes to reform the process by which transportation funds are allocated; and (k) The Board concurs with many of the reforms proposed by SB 1505, however, section 60 of SB 1505 would repeal section 190 of the Streets & Highways Code, thus removing the source of funding for the State Separation of Grade Program; and (l) The Assembly Appropriations Committee will consider SB 1505 at its next hearing on August 7, 1996; Section 2. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Board of Supervisors in the County of Kern, State of California, that, (a) The Board finds that the continued funding of the State Separation of Gl'adc Program through annual appropriations made under Streets & Highways Code section 190 is essential to the current and future safety and welfare of the citizens of Kern Courity; and (b) The Board opposes SB 1505 so long as section 60, repealing Streets & Highways Code section 190, remains in the bill; and (c)The Board requests that SB 1505 be amended by eliminating section 60 from such bill, thereby retaining section 190 of the Streets & Highways Code; and (d) The Board authorizes and directs that certified copies of this resolution be provided to all members of the State Legislature from Kern County, as well as to the Chairman and other members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee in a timely fashion so that this resolution may be considered prior to the August 7, 1996 hearing of SB 1505.

SHELL DIstrict No. 5 Telephone (805)861-2167 August 6, 1996 The Honorable Brian Setencich California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 4017 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Assembly Member Setencich: ~The Kern County Board of Supervisors would like to inform you of our opposition to SB 1505 (Kopp) in its current form, which would repeal the Separation of Grade Program contained in the Streets and Highways Code of California. The attached resolution requests that the Legislature amend SB 1505 to delete language repealing the Separation of Grade Program from the bill. Annual separation of grade appropriations totaling $15 million provide 80 percent of the cost of highway/railroad overpasses and undercrossings statewide. Under this critical program, many dangerous at-grade railroad crossings have been eliminated in the greater Bakersfield area of Kern COunty. Since 1980 alone, six grade separations have been built using nearly $24 million in state appropriations supplemented by $7.25 million in railroad and local government funds. However, if section 190 of the Streets and Highways.Code is repealed by enactment of SB 1505, two projects now in the planning stages which have already received partial funding may have to be terminated. In addition, seven other projects in the Bakersfield area which are now on the Public Utilities Commission priority list.for future funding will likely never be built. Elsewhere in Kern County, the communities of Delano, Rosamond, Shafter, Tehachapi and Wasco also need grade separations which would have a reasonable chance of being funded under this statewide program in the future. Elimination of the Separation of Grade Program would deal a severe blow to public safety in Kern County and in other regions across the state which depend on this program. Traffic congestion and delays caused by at-grade crossings will also choke economic growth in these areas. For these reasons, we urge yoU to oppose SB 1505 unless it is amended to delete the repeal of section 190 Separation of Grade Program funds. Thank you for considering our views.
