Our Agenda for next time is getting a little tight, and we may, or may not, have enough time to make substantive progress on the Goals. If we don't, while I am reluctant to put it forward, we may need to try to set aside a special meeting time in order to be able to make such progress. The efforts to use the workshop format have not been very successful. 2. There is a response to a Council inquiry enclosed regarding why we are proposing the prostitution and drug loitering ordinances when it is fairly common to release misdemeanor arrests, rather than jail them. The bottom line is that you make it uneconomical and cumbersome for those operations in areas where they detract from the quality of the neighborhood or the business climate. 3. There are letters enclosed, to and from the Chamber of Commerce, relative to their support for the Convention Center Hotel, and regarding starting up a Task Force to help promote the Southeast Incentive Area. 4. There is a memo enclosed from Public Works regarding the signalization improvements at Truxtun Avenue and Mohawk, which should be accelerated to next budget year. / 5. Enclosed is a survey showing a cross section of ten California cities and whether or not their Public Works Director is required to be a Registered Civil Engineer. In three, they are not. I met with the civil engineers group this week. I am going to delay the close of the listing for the Public Works DireCtor 30 days - until near the end of January. I will monitor the response before I decide whether to bring forward the job description change objected to by the engineers 6. A Marketing Progress Report on the Bakersfield Municipal Airport is enclosed for your information. 7. A response to a Council Referral is enclosed regarding Assessment District 93-1 (Northeast Sewer).

They do this through identifying activities which are known precursors to these illegal activities and using them to create a base upon which police officers can legally investigate reports or observations of suspicious loitering activities (with the purpose of engaging in drug or prostitution related activities). The ordinances attempt to broaden the circumstances under which police officers can investigate suspicious activities if they have reason to believe the activities will lead to further and more extensive drug and prostitution-related ~ctivities. Investigation into the lesser loitering crimes can lead to discovery and apprehension of violators of more pervasive illegal drug and prostitution- related activities.

I concur with his observation and conclusion and would highly recommend improving the signalization and traffic flow at this intersection through the budget process for the next fiscal year. 22 NOV 95 6:07 TO: E.

SUBJECT: UPDATE - INTERSECTION OPERATION - FUTURE NEED LOCATION: TRUXTUN AT MOHAWK COUNCIL WARD': 5 This is an information item and no action is required. In response to a recent complaint, I investigated the operation of the intersection of Tru×tun at Mohawk. In observing the intersection I noted that the north to west left turn movement is increasingly becoming congested. This appears to be more pronounced during the noon peak and'afternoon peak.--. The congestion could be alleviated if a two lane left turn were allowed. I also noted pedestrians and bicyclists trying to cross to the north side to access the bil~e/ped path and vice-versa. The north side of Truxtun continues to be developed with attractive, recreational facilities that cannot be resonably accessed by other than a car, and that route is cumbersome. Because of the non-stop westbound traffic, no pedestrian, bike or vehicles can be allowed to cross north-south. We have had numerous petitions in the past to modify the ~ignal operation and allow these crossing movements. I~ is my opinion:that we wilt need to change ~he signal, operation in the~near future_to accomodate the .increasing traffic' demand.~ · he improvement would be compatible with the future int. ersection design where Mohawk ex. tends' north to ROsedale Hwy and would allow 'pedestrian/bicycle crossing and two lane left ~urns by stopping westbound traffic. cc: Fred Kloepper~ Assistant Public Works Director Bruce Deeter, CE i-II - Traffic Design , CE iii - T~'affic Opera~ions Public Works ~e~o file · Traffic File - Truxtun/M°hawk siw: File: TRUXMOHK.

This campaign would include a promotional brochure, an airport-specific newsletter, and several promotional events. These proposed promotional and advertising expenses were tied to obtaining this corporate grant. At this time, this office continues to be in contact with the foundation in attempts to secure this funding. Previous contacts with the foundation indicated their grant committee was very supportive of the type of proposal we submitted. I will continue to keep you informed on the status of the grant. However, these promotional materials were budgeted to be paid by the grant; there are no general fund monies budgeted for these items. This office is ready to proceed with the airport marketing materials and promotional events upon approval of the foundation funding. Public Relations and Promotional Activities [] Two articles about the airport were featured in the latest issue of the Bakersfield Panache Magazine. The magazine profiled S&S Flight Center specifically, and the ah'pon in general. This is the third edition in which Bakersfield Panache has worked with the Economic and Community Development Department. The special edition focuses on the department's efforts in attracting new businesses to the Bakersfield area. (Attached are copies on the two articles.) Not ogiiy was this issue produced as part of the magazine's October issue, but a substantial overprint was run so that the magazine can be used as a marketing piece by both the City and Kern Economic Development Corporation.

DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 1993 SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL REFERRAL RECORD #12586 Resolution of Intention No. 1110 to order the Work and improvements on Assessment District No. 93-1, Northeast Sewer. (Ward 3) This memorandum is in response to a councilmember's request for a summary of alternative routes studied for the northeast sewer project. The alignment or route for the northeast sewer was determined by analyzing the boundary of the area to be serviced by the sewer and selecting the route which would best serve the area taking into consideration the topography to provide the most cost effective project. City staff, Porter~Robertson Engineering and Ricks-Taylor Engineering have agreed that the current route is the best, most economical route. Attached is a copy of a letter from Ricks-Taylor Engineering who performed an independent analysis of the route for the Olcese Water District. In three locations, the sewer crosses a drainage channel and the .plans incorporate specific design criteria which.has taken these crossings into account. The sewer route, as designated, lies just east of a flood zone area south of Breckenridge Road whereas the "George Nickel route" passes through the middle of this flood zone. Also, attached is a copy of a letter from Porter-R°bertson Engineering which addresses this issue and refers to the flood zone map attached thereto. .mro Attachments _______NEETZN6.

PORTER · ROBERTSON ENGINEERING * SURVEYING August 3, 1993 93-415 Mr. George W. Nickel, Jr. 6200 Lake Ming Road Bakersfield, CA 93306 Re: Northeast Bakersfield Sewer Assessment District Dear George: I have reviewed your memorandum dated July 2, 1993, and subsequently have had conversations with the City of Bakersfield Engineering Department and Kern County Engineering Department. I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but I did not have an opportunity to meet with the County staff until last week. I appreciate your concern with respect to the sewer trunk line routing through Section 29 and Section 32, TOwnship 29 south, Range 29 east, M.D.M. I believe the-following comments will address your concerns satisfactorily: 1. It appears your primary concern is with the sewer line being installed in a flood area. You have stated several times in your letter that placing the sewer line in the flood area will present a problem and that your proposed alternate suggested route would eliminate the flood Concerns. You also Stated that your routing should never be under flood water. I have attached a copy of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Panel No. 060075 1050 B, dated September 29,' 1986, which shows the limits of the Zone B fl'ood area. Please note that. the City's proposed sewer routing runs along the easterly and southerly perimeter of the flood zone. Your proposed route is directly in the center of the flood zone. The City's alignment would experience less frequent and less intense stormwater inundation than 'would your suggested alignment. Please keep in mind that there are many sewer systems throughout Kern County (Lamont, Arvin, Rosamond, Ridgecrest, and in Bakersfield, to name a few) that are located within flood zones and have not had problems. We propose to install blind pick hole manhole covers in areas subject to flooding, which should mitigate your concern about large amounts of stormwater entering the sewer system. In addition, the manholes will be buried when not located within a road alignment. 1200 - 21 St STREET - BAKERSFIELD, CA 93301 - 805/327-0362 - FAX 805/327-1065 Mr. George W. Nickel, Jr. August 4, 1993~ Page 2 2. You expressed some concern about the proposed sewer alignment running in the. southeast quarter of Section 29, where there are "numerous oil tanks, reservoirs, and pipelines". I would like to assure you that we are taking the necessary precautions to avoid conflicts with the oil field facilities. These oil facilities will .not present a PrOblem with the sewer alignment. 3. You indicated you had concern about the sewer line following ."an old significant rain flood channel down to Breckenridge Road".' I would like to point out that the City's proposed sewer alignment does not run directly down the drainage channel and that the sewer only crosses the channel in a few locations. The sewer alignment for the most Part is in excess of 100' away from.the channel centerline. As the sewer runs across Giumarra's property~ in the northeast quarter of Section 32, it will be easterly of the dirt road running along the east side of the channel. The manholes will be buried several feet below grade so that Giumarra can still farm his field. The locations in which the sewerline crosses the channel will be protected with check structures as shown on the attached sketch. These check structures havel been submitted to the County.for review and approval. I would like to assure you that we are taking the necessary precautions when crossing the drainage channel to prevent erosion of the. pipeline. 4. You mentioned that Giumarra has an extensive waste water disposal 'program immediately adjacent to the flood channel and somehow poses a problem to our proposed sewerline. I can't speak to the potential problem Giumarra's wastewater disposal field has with the drainage channel, but I can state that our proposed sewer line does not · have the potential to discharge into the channel and Giumarra's wastewater dispOsal field will not enter into the sewer pipe (unless of course Giumarra makes arrangements with the City to do so). 5. You expressed someconcern that the area within the sewer assessment district westerly of the ridge line in Section 29 cannot be served by the City's sewerline routing and that your proposed alternate suggested route would work ~better. First of all, the area west of the ridge line is within East Niles community Services District (ENCSD) sphere of influence and a joint powers agreement between Mr. George W. Nickel, Jr. August 4, 1993 Page 3 the City of Bakersfield and ENCSD permits that area you described in your letter to be served by ENCSD. Please note that there is a 12" ENCSD sewer line extended up Breckenridge Road to Vineland Road. This 12" line could be extended in the future (approximately 1/2 mile) to serve the area in question, and a lift station would not be necessary. In addition, the area east of the proposed sewer line could be served without a lift station at its present proposed'location, .Lift stations are very costly to construct and operate and we try to avoid them whenever possible. 6. I would like to point out that the City's proposed sewer trunk line alignment, north of Breckenridge Road, has been designated as a Specific Plan line as shown on the Breckenridge Hills Specific Plan which was adopted by the County in 1989 (see attached partial copy of Specific Plan). In addition, the proposed alignment traverses through open spaces as depicted on the 2010 General Plan. Our proposed alignment.will not conflict with future development, whereas your proposed alternate suggested route would traverse through developable ground of which we do not have a defined road alignment. After further evaluation of this matter and discussions with the City and the County,~ we have concluded that the current route as designated in the Specific Plan is the best solution. I hope this letter and the attached information address your concerns. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Thank you for your consideration and concern in this matter. Fred W.

C O N S U L TI N G C I V I L E N G I N E E.R S May 28, 1993 Mr. Don Wahl Olcese Water District p O Box 651 ~ Bakersfield, CA 93302 Dear Don; At the Olcese. Board meeting on May 17, 1993, I was authorized to review the proposed sewer alignment through Section 29 and 32, to determine if this is the best location or if an alignment further west would provide better service to the Assessment District. 'I have attached a copy of the latest boundary and .facility maD. The alignment in question begins at the southerly corner of the Mesa Marin Property, to which all sewage from lands northerly of this location will drain by gravity. From this point the proposed alignment follows the natural channel southeasterly thru Section 29 and then southwesterly thru Section 32 to Br~ckenridge Road. From Breckenridge Road the alignment follows the North-South centerline of Section 32 to Brundage Lane and then westerly along Brundage to the existing seWerline. All of the lands in the upper portion of the Assessment' District would have gravity service to the sewer line except approximately 240 acres in the southwest portion of Section 19 and 240 acres in the westerly portion of Section 29. The lands in 'Section 19 would, have gravity service to a sewer extension along Morning. Drive. Lands in the Westerly portion of Section 29 would require a sewer line extension to Brundage Lane or be incorporated with a sewer line serving Assessment District lands in Section 32. The alignment thru Section 29 and 32, since it follows the natural channel, will cross'the ~channel a couple of times as it meanders thru the area, but generally will parallel the channel, along its easterly bank. The sewer alignment through the Northeast quarter of Section 32 will be relocated on the valley floor, easterly of the main drainage channel. This channel causes extensive flooding where it ends on Breckenridge Road, during high. intensity rain storms, however, most runoff from storms is contained within the channel and would not affect the sewer line. 1326 H 'STREET, SUITE 21, BAKERSFIELD, CA 93301 PHONE (805) 323-3169 FAX (805) 323-4331 Normal sewer design will place the top of sewer pipe a minimum of ten feet below grade, to allow sewer from adjacent properties to have gravity connections. This places the pipe below any erosion that would be caused fromJsurface waters. Access manholes installed along the sewerline would also be normally buried with only a few key manholes installed to above grade locations. Where manholes are installed in locations susceptible to ~looding an insert is placed below the cover, which prevents storm waters from entering the sewerline. When development takes place adjacent to or above the sewerline,~ the manholes will be extended to final grade and protected'from storm water inflows. Two alternate alignments were considered for the main sewerline. The first would begin at.the North line of Section 29, at an elevation of 655, and would follow near the 650 foot contour to the South line of Section 29 and thence down the ridge line to Breckenridge Road, or westerly along the Section line to the west side of the Assessment District lands in Section 32. It could then follow the West side of District lands in Section 32 to Brundage Lane. Approximately 200 acres of land in the West half of Section 29 could be added to the gravity service area, however all lands · easterly~ of the sewer alignment (approximately 240 acres) would have. to be served from a sewer line on approximately the same alignment as originally proposed or a sewer lift station would be required to pump the sewage up to the higher sewer line (70" ±). The second alignment studied would continue southwesterly along Kern Canyon Road to the west line of Section 29 thence southerly along Vineland Road to Brundage Lane. This alignment would allow lands in the West half of Section 29 to be served by. Gravity, .but would eliminate lands in the South quarter of Section 20 and 400 acres in Section 29 from main line gravity service. These lands would still have to construct a sewerline down the drainage channel thru Sections 29 and 32. A sewer lift station would have to pump alt the sewage generated north of the center of. Section 20 approximately 70 feet' in elevation to the Southwest corner of Section 20. In summary, even though.there may be some design problems to overcOme in selecting the final sewer alignment through the Assessment District, it appears that the best alignment for the sewerline is that proposed by Porter-Robertson. Although some localized conditions may exist that could be detrimental to project facilities, careful design by the consultants and review by City staff, should provide the most economical and operational facility for the major portion of Assessment District lands.
