Home My WebLink About01/15/93 BAKERSFIELD MEMORANDUM January 15, 1993 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUN~~ FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. You will find a couple of communications enclosed you may receive complaints about or get lobbied about. The first is a letter to the local museum. It seems they entered into an agreement with us to pick up utility costs and we have been inadvertently been paying those costs until now. They will contend hardship, and they may decide to lobby you. We of course, have our own version of hardship plus a written agreement with them to pay those costs. Secondly, you will find enclosed a memo to the school district. They appealed to us charging fees for mandatory state required fire inspections. Our six million-dollar property tax loss is going to them - my sympathy level is not too high over a few hundred dollars in fees 2. We had our Budget Kickoff this week and I will be giving Council and overview of that on Wednesday night at the Council meeting. It will be the toughest budget anyone here can recall preparing because of the combination of sales tax decrease and the probable action of the legislature in capturing more of our money. We will have details on Wednesday evening. 3. Relating to the budget cuts, we will be negotiating with the sports complex at Mesa Marin for renewal of the lease out there. I have advised our negotiators to tell them that staff will be proposing cancellation of the lease due to the budget crisis. We will continue to try to 'negotiate the best terms available in the event that the staff recommendation is not upheld by City Council. You may also get feedback from the landowners on this item. 4. Next Wednesday in executive session, I will give you an overview of the situation with respect to the Human Resources Manager position. The short form is I'm willing to sacrifice it to the fiscal problems. 5. The Assistant City Manager and the second one, when hired, should, to increase their knowledgebase, attend all meetings and executive sessions of City CoUncil in the future. GENERAL INFORMATION JANUARY 15, 1993 PAGE -2 - 6. Some time in February you will have a dispute before you about the most appropriate location of the extension of the Bike Path eastward from Manor Street. There is an alignment either along the canal which is advocated by the Kern River Parkway Group, or there is an alignment along the horse trail which causes staff fewer maintenance problems than the canal alignment. These will be the two considered alternatives that will emerge from the Planning Commission. 7. We are working on making a composite out of the listing of services we perform for the County. I hope to have that to you within a week. 8. The County staff is now indicating to us that they are now willing to establish plan lines for freeways! kef A:\GENINFO2.JAN BAKERSFIELD 1990 January 14, 1993 Mrs. Betty Mah°ney, President Bakersfield Art Foundation 4400 - 12 Country Club Court Bakersfield, CA 93306 Dear Mrs. Mahoney: It has come to my attention that through an oversight the City of Bakersfield has been paying for the utilities for the Bakersfield Museum of Art. On July 17, 1991, the Bakersfield Art Foundation entered into an agreement with the City of Bakersfield whereby the Foundation was responsible for paying "all utility, telephone and janitorial service" at the Museum. With this letter, I am notifying you that the City will no longer pay utilities on the Museum as per Lease Agreement #91/151. I will be glad to meet with you, or a subcommittee Of the Foundation Board, if you wish to further discuss the City's stance on .this issue. I have been informed that the Foundation is going through very tough financial times as is the City. As always, the City continues to support the Museum and its commitment to the community in those ways which are economically feasible for it to do SO. I am sorry to have to pass on the bad news!

MEMORANDUM January 8, 1993 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Jack Hardisty, Planning Dir SUBJECT: Tentative Tract 5464 - Option/al Design located south of Ming Avenue, west of Haggin Oaks Boulevard. After our meeting on January 4, 1993 with Castle and Cooke's top management and Roger McIntosh of Martin McIntosh, staff from various city departments have continued to work with Mr. McIntosh on compromising the city's development standards. Immediately after the meeting Mr. McIntosh requested a continuance of the hearing to January 21, 1993. I have been informed by you that he would increase the cul-de-sac radii to forty feet. He has submitted a new map showing the increased radii which has been redistributed for review. Ed Schulz has commented to my staff that he would approve the revised street design. My staff has said they will accept the recreational facilities as drawn by the engineer but not as described by Castle and Cooke as a sufficient amenity to offset planning design concerns. We have not yet heard from Sanitation or Fire if they are inclined to change their position. The staff meeting to bring this all together for a staff report is scheduled for Tuesday, January 12, 1993 at 10:00 a.m. By way of background, the following is a summary of events which took place prior to our January 4, 1993 meeting with Castle and Cooke. A. Roger McIntosh submitted an application for Tract 5464 as an optional design subdivision for 72 lots on 13.59 acres zoned R-2. Deviations from standards were requested for lot location, size, width and depth and for street widths and improvements. An "optional design" subdivision may be approved where physical constraints or the extraordinary_ amenities to be provided render application of design and improvement standards inappropriate. The Planning Commission may, with the concurrence of the City Engineer agree to lesser standards if development of the property would be consistent with the general plan. It may also be used to facilitate condominium or planned unit development projects but they are not proposed for this. The applicant indicated that an "extraordinary amenity" was to be provided in the form of recreational facilities labeled as "conceptual only" on the tentative tract map. JAN 93 ~ 2~ Alan Tandy January 8, 1993 Page 2 B. On December 18, 1992 the staff planner for the project, and as a courtesy to the applicant, advised the applicant of several design problems staff was finding while reviewing the proposal. Concerns included: 1. Inadequate street widths resulting in city's inability to adequately perform trash pick up and fire service. 2. Lack of sidewalks which forced pedestrians to walk in the street to get to and from guest parking areas and recreational facilities to homes. 3. Building envelopes depicted on map showed inadequate building setbacks, especially if the street needed to be widened or sidewalks added. 4. Lack of commitment to specific recreational amenities to be provided. Staff planner requested letter of clarification. We typically provide comments such as these to the applicants so they may request a continuance of hearing and redesign the project or to meet with staff to review options or at least be advised of our concerns and not be surprised at the last minute in hearing by a negative recommendation. The applicant requested that the staff report be prepared, and indicated that they would present their case at the Commission hearing or appeal to the City Council. C. The draft staff report was prepared with a recommendation for denial with supporting analysis and findings. Memoranda from the Sanitation Division and Fire Department indicating their inability to properly serve the project area are on file. On December 22, the staff planner contacted the applicant to discuss with him the contents of the staff report. D. On December 23, the current planning supervisor called a meeting with the appropriate members of staff and the applicant to review the issues and alternatives. According to my current planning supervisor, the meeting went well and the applicant left indicating he would likely be redesigning the project to address the issues and request a continuance, but that he had to check with his client first. Also on December 23, a letter from Castle and Cooke regarding the amenities issues was received. The letter agreed to substantially less amenities to be provided than were referenced on the map. The current planning supervisor called Mr. McIntosh and told him that what was proposed in the letter did not constitute "extraordinary amenities". The applicant was asked if he wanted staff to distribute the staff report or hold it until he contacted us regarding a continuance. The applicant requested that we hold the staff report. Alan Tandy January 8, 1993 Page 3 E. The applicant contacted your office to set a meeting on the project. The assistant planning director was versed on the project and available to attend or brief you if preferable. When the meeting was canceled the assistant director requested that he be notified if the meeting was rescheduled so that I could be briefed. F. Apparently the communications broke down and we were not aware the meeting was rescheduled for Monday at 10:00 a.m. but I happened to be there anyway. G. During the meeting you were asked if the city would no longer support innovative design which a denial of this project would reflect. Another walled-in subdivision consisting of mostly substandard lots served by substandard streets is hardly impressive as far as imagination, innovation or sensitivity. About the only thing worse would be a straight in street with dog bone cul-de-sacs or a row of shoe box apartments. JH:kl cc: Jim Movius, Principal Planner p/mal BAKERSFIELD 1990 January 12, 1993 Mr. Kenneth E. Garland, Ph.D. Assistant Superintendent - Business Bakersfield City School District, Education'Center 1300 Baker Street Bakersfield, CA 93305-4499 Dear Mr. Garland: I have received your letter of November 4, 1992, which protests recent fees imposed for mandatory fire inspections. I am sorry to be sOmewhat slow in responding, however, I did Submit your letter for legal review and they were slow in their response due to illness in their department. As you are probably aware, the state has undertaken some dramatic ~ifts in local property tax revenue. The last session of the legislature took two million dollars from the City's General Fund and shifted~ it into other areas. Partially as a result of that, we have had to impose fees in a number of areas where we previously did not charge. In this particular case, we are mandated to perform these inspections by state law. We did not desire either to impose the inspection requirement nor to pass on the fee. We are simply a victim of changes in state law imposing burdens upon us while at the same time reducing our funding levels. You may have also noted in the Governor's budget submittal of last week, that an additional proposed shift of over two billion dollars in property taxes is being proposed from cities.and counties to schools and community college districts. We anticipate that this may cost the City of Bakersfield another four million dollars per year. To summarize, we are sorry that'the state has imposed new requirements on us while at the same time shifting massive amounts of our revenue to other taxing jurisdictions. We have no desire to. impose inspection fees on school districts. It is simply the only equitable way of doing that under the circumstances the state has created. I am sorry not to be able to accommodate your request to eliminate the fee. /a~n~dy~City Manager AL/kef cc: Steve Johnson, Fire Chief John W.

City Council - City Manager Leadership Team Workshop Wednesday - Friday, June 2 - 4, 1993 Stanford Sierra Lodge Fallen Leaf Lake, South Lake Tahoe WHO SHOULD ATTEND , . · Mayors · Council Members · City Managers WHAT YOU WILL LEARN This intensive residential session -- unlike the traditional League conferences -- will be limited in attendance and will require that city officials participate as a "team." Cities participating in previous workshops have found it much better to have the full council, or at least most of the council, participate. The minimum number on a team is three (two council members or mayor and manager).. The purpose of the Workshop is to afford city officials the opportunity to assess and improve their working relationships at the city's top leadership level while still respect- ing the integrity of honest differences in personal opinions, principles and policies. The format of the Workshop will not, nor is it intended to, provide a forum for deliberations or decisions relating to specific policies, plans or programs in a city. Attendees are advised to avoid such discussions at the Workshop. After participating in the Workshop, mayors, council members and city managers will better understand what they and the other members of their leadership team need to make a decision. You will deepen your Understanding of the various individual roles in your city's leadership team and how to effectively fulfill those roles. You will increase your understanding and skills in setting a climate to negotiate agreement without giving in. The site of the Workshop was selected for its conduciveness to the success of the sessions. The location offers a quiet and undistracting Setting perfect for concentrating on the work of your leadership team building. Because of the nature of the Workshop, it i,s essential that all Who register make a commitment to adhere to the beginning and ending times -- not arriving late nor leaving early. Also, accommodations are limited and the Workshop schedule is not conducive to attendance by spouses or gUests; therefore their attendance is explicitly discouraged. PLEASE NOTE: The registration' dealine is: Friday, April 9, 1993 Headquarters - 1400 K Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 · (916) 444-5790 Registration The Workshop requires a minimum of three officials, the City Manager and two elected officials (Mayor or Council Members), to be registered. Registration priority will begiven to larger.teams with more elected officials. Because of the importance that participants be in residence at the workshop, no registrations will be accepted for only the workshop and not the lodging and meals. The registration includes lodging for both nights and'all meals as well as the workshop costs, materials, books, breaks, etc. This, along with the fact that attendance is limited in order to provide for maximum involvement by all participating, requires a registration fee of $2500.00 for the mini- mum team of 3, plus $500.00 per each additional official. Payment Payment in full, or at least a. non-refundable deposit of $150.00 per person, must accompany this registration.

Comments of Previous "It was an extremely valuable experience. Not only did I learn how to present my point of view better so my colleagues listened to my concerns, but ! gained a better under- Participants standing of my own weaknesses and strengths." "We thought the workshop good enough to have one of our own for the entire council." "I would highly recommend future sessions." "The workshop gave us a chance to better understand ourselves as a team. We also got to know each other better as individuals. As candidates for election we often campaign against one another and the workshop gave us a chance to repair some of the damage." "Highly recommend it. I'm not sure it would have been as meaningful if our whole team hadn't participated." '. ,The workshop gave us the opportunity to be open in anice wayand at the same time allowed us to deal with what came from it in a polite way." "It would have been perfect if all our council members had attended, i feel it should be strongly stressed, the importance of all council members and the city manager being in attendance." "Be prepared for a wOnderful experience, keep an open mind and be willing to share." "The workshop gave us an intensive uninterrupted time to work through some problem "Go with the entire council and manager. Do not leave anyone out." "Strongly urge attendance." "Informative, thought-provoking, utilizable ideas, methods." "A beautiful, unique seUing. Great informal atmosphere. Grand food." "Council is now more honest in admitting interpersonal problems that exist." "I had'high expectations before going--and the workshop met my expectations.'~ "Understanding each other's leadership styles has helped greatly in selecting more productive ways of dealing with each ~other. Knowing the probable response under stress has been particularly helpful in producing smoother'council meetings and improving staff understanding of what was really happening." "I only wish I could have cleared the calendar of my whole council so that all could attend together." "I became better acquainted with the others from our council and learned why they reacted to some things the way they do. This has helped in working together which was one of my main goals of the workshop." "Be prepared for an intensive involvement with others in your group. You will learn more about yourself and the others Which will help you in working together for the good of your city. It is important for the entire Council and city manager to attend."
