With respect to the Fi re Fundi ssue, we met with the County thi s week. Verbally, we are at agreement on all but the timing issue on transferring Rio Bravo. We are checking the written redraft they have done to make sure the verbal understandings are flowing through into the written work. 2. Applications for the Fire Chief position have closed with three applicants. We will be following through with a written, then oral interview phase over the next 30 days, or so, prior to selection of a candidate. The written questions are enclosed for your information. 3. A memo is enclosed regarding a local firm that manufactures pipe. They wanted their product to be qual ifi ed for the northeast sewer 1 i ne speci fi cati ons. Their product does not have ASTM designation, and does not have a history of use in this particular kind of installation. We would like to accommodate them, and we do use their product on other types of projects, but do not want the northeast sewer to be an lIexperiment.1I 4. Next week, we will be providing you with a copy of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Milestone Report No. 2. A briefing on this will be scheduled for your next Council Meeting, with assumed follow up by the Urban Development Committee. I t wi 11 give us specific direction on future treatment plan changes. s. A letter I sent to the County this week, proposing resolution on portions of the tax split issue, is enclosed. The meeting date for gathering with the other Kern County cities to try to fight the Countyls new policy on this issue has been scheduled for May 17th. 6. A letter relative to the ISTEA funding issue, encouraged to be sent out by our lobbyist, is enclosed for your information. I 7. Responses to various Council Referrals and inquiries are enclosed regarding resurfacing of Westholme Avenue, drainage problems at 3116 Durwood and 4800 I Teal Avenue, an access problem on Gayl ene Str.eet and a traffi c control study for the intersection of Mountain Vista and White Lane. I 8. Updates and status reports from the Water and Sanitation Department and City Attorneyls Office on current projects are enclosed for your information. -~- ~~ I HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL April 22, 1994 Page -2- 9. Enclosed is information on Proposition 180 (CalPAW 94), which will be on . the June ballot. " 10. A IIClean Up Day on Pacific Street II event will be held Saturday, April 23, 1994, from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m.. This is the first event since the neighborhood meeting with the residents. Volunteers participating will receive free T-shirts and lunch. 11. Texaco has pushed out their time frame for dealing with wastewater treatment to around the year 2000. That is due to regulatory changes which make capital costs far higher than they had been projecting. That decision removes the primary reason why they were positive about annexation - We will appeal to them to allow it for other reasons - they said they would listen. 12. A 2nd Draft Letter regarding speed bumps is enclosed for your information. 13. We are sending you, separately, invitations to the May 3rd events celebrating the Convention Center Hotel. The large public event will start at 3:00 p.m., with a VIP Reception to follow. Please feel free to invite any and all to the 3:00 p.m. event. We've tried to identify all the key people who have been involved for the Reception - Jake Wager has a list if you would like to check for someone you know who may have had a key role. -, AT.alb Enclosures cc: Department Heads City Cl erk I Iii : I Iii I '-- -~- -- , - I ¡~ II WRITTEN INTERVIEW FIRE CHIEF CANDIDATES 1. The Fire Department is, statistically, the City's lowest performing department, in terms of meeting Equal Employment Opportunity objectives for hiring and promotion of minorities and females. Detail how you would, as Fire Chief, go about correcting this problem. Be specific. 2. Patrol units are currently assigned to Stations 1-, 6, 7, and~:~)whiCh cover urbanized areas with little risk of field fires. Discuss whether the units are assigned to the optimal locations and the reasons behind your conclusions. What, if anything,wculd you do differently? Be as specific as possible. 3. Does the City of Bakersfield place too much, too little, or about the right amount of emphasis on Fire Prevention? Discuss what, if anything, you would like to change about the present program. 4. The Bakersfield Fire Department currently operates with a Chief, Deputy Chief, two Assistant Chiefs, six Battalion Chiefs and two Battalion Chief equivalents in the Fire Marshall and Training Officer. Compare and contrast this to other municipal \ fire departments of comparable size and of a similar nature. In upper level - staffing, are we at the appropriate level? Indicate why, or why not, and discuss any changes you would like to suggest be made. 5. Is the Bakersfield Fire Department in the forefront of urban firefighting with our current equipment? Should we be? Compare and contrast our use of ladders, engines, patrols and miscellaneous vehicles to those of other comparable departments. Include in your evaluation your views on the issue of whether a tillered ladder truck is the best use of manpower an:d equipment, and whether or not we should be looking at a different mix of equipment types, such as quints or tele-squirts. 6. If you are selected as Chief, one of your more important assignments would be . to prepare personnel in the department so that, upon your retirement, there will I be multiple qualified internal candidates to replace you. State, in detail, how you would go about doing that. 7. Education, both formal and informal, is integral to any fire service organization. What supportive measures would you take to ensure employee involvement in furthering their education? 8. What should the relationships be between the Chief -and the Union? B-Flag?- What, specifically, would you do as Chief to improve labor relations in the Department? I ~ L- -- -.- ------- --------- III /~- - ~ ~ ill Ii ¡ ~ 9.

Please indicate how you, as Chief, would go about addressing interaction and accountability among the management staff of the Department. 11. Discuss how you have helped to educate yourself, over the past ten years, and how you have applied that to concrete actions in your job. 12. Community relations has become a high priority in a successful Fire Department's operations. How will you ensure that the Fire Department is responding to the needs of the community and what programs would you develop to see that the !! necessary community relationships are established and positively maintained? 13. Not only are local issues important, but statewide and national issues are also part of a complete Fire Department. What would you do to ensure interactivity in. those areas - specifically OES, National Fire Academy, U.S. Fire Administration and other state and national organizations? 14. What kind of experience or knowledge do you have in heading up an Emergency Operations Center and ongoing preparedness education? I I 15. What would your approach be in determining growth of the department relative I, to the growth of the City population in providing service? 16. Indicate five to seven items you would like to see as departmental budget priorities which are not and have not been historically budgeted. How would you go about IIseilingll these priorities to the City Manager, City Council and community? 17. Growth and development are important local issues, the current JPA is under consideration for amendment. What ideas do yOu have for cooperation and/or consolidation of fire services in Metro .Bakersfield? How would you approach City/County fire service issues, particularly given the potential volatile relationship between agencies? I I 2 I. ' - --------- "'/.~,:",-",,",,~ I ~ . .~?h - . fi! B A K E R 5 F I' E L 0 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT f ~~ III, ;1 ; Ii I many negative votes on technical issues. Another reference from Ohio where II Rancor is based, indicated that ASTM can be very political and that Rancor " was being stonewalled. Still another. reference who was a past chairman on .1 the plastic sewer pipe subcommittee for ASTM provided compelling information II with respect to Rancor and ADS. This reference stated that the ASTM I~I designation proposed by Rancor for pipe materials classification was too . broad and that Rancor refused to be specific. In a few words, it would be ii' possible for Rancor to manufacture their pipe from inferior material Slnce they would not be specifying exactly what their pipe was made from. This 11 reference went on to state that Rancor's pipe could not pass ASTM I environmental stress crack resistance tests which could be passed by I Spirolite RDPE pipe. Spirolite pipe according to this reference is made from I the best resins and was developed by the gasoline industry when it was discovered that RDPE p1pes were cracking under load. This problem was I virtually eliminated when the best pressure rated reS1ns were used in the 'I manufacture of RDPE. The reference commented that the industry knows how I high to go to make a good RDPE pipe but they don't know how low you can go before the pipe is no longer an acceptable product. Ris final comment was , that he cannot speak for how good the Rancor pipe may be, but that he would II not recommend burying the pipe more than 5 feet. i Attached 1S a copy of a test on a smooth lined, exterior corrugated RDPE plpe. The pipe in this test is not Rancor pipe, but is a pipe which 1S similar in construction to Rancor pipe. The test indicated a "waving effect" of the interior lining of the pipe under load. This effect caused a friction flow constant, called the Manning's "n" value to vary from .0089 to .015. This would have a significant negative effect on capacity for a sanitary sewer. This possibility is extremely undesirable. Based on information available (or not available) it seems most imprudent to install an untested, unknown material into facilities such as sanitary sewers which are extremely costly to replace in the event of failure. Staff has concluded from the research on this issue that ASTM is a viable resource by which minimum standards should be set and that rejection of a product for lack of ASTM designation is appropriate. It is recommended that the policy of the City of Bakersfield should be to require the ASTM designation on sanitary sewer plpe. In addition, new products which obtain an ASTM designation but are unfamiliar to the City should only be used on smaller "test" projects for an unspecified amount of time prior to general use being approved.

Klein, Senior Deputy CAO ! County of Kern !I 1115 Truxtun Avenue I \ Bakersfield, CA 93301 I: Dear Joe and Adel: I! This letter is to formalize the City staff's effort to come to an amicable conclusion with II ii you on several aspects of the tax split subject matter. Obviously, anything that we might agree with would be subject to consideration by our respective legislative bodies. I think we have generally agreed that raw land improvements result in growth for both the City and County. We, therefore, propose that raw land improvements be continued under the historic tax split assumptions that have been in place since 1978. We have many developers who have opted to be in the City for the purpose of obtaining sewage treatment, water and other factors, and it is critical that they begin their planning process knowing, with certainty, that the thousands of dollars they spend preparing will not be wasted because the City and County come to some kind of disagreement over a tax split issue. Obviously, Castle & Cooke is an example where they are currently investing huge amounts in planning activities. In any event, we believe that both parties will benefit and, where the developer has opted to be in the City under its regulatory requirements, the historic split should be in effect. - é With respect to Rosedale No.5, we have forwarded a proposal which would provide you ]i what you are requesting on the base amount of taxation, or the existing taxation levels. ,I For tax growth in the future, it would revert to the formula which has, historically, been II the split between City and County. This has the practical impact of, essentially, holding ;: the County harmless from loss of revenue during the short term, while, at the same time, II providing the City with a share of the future growth in revenues so that the City can :1 orovide the necessary services to that industrial area. !I I, \1 Ne are awaiting your reply on our proposal in this regard.

Klein April 20, 1994 Page -2- With respect to the broader question of developed areas, we are, currently, studying concerns Adel Klein expressed relative to feasibility of some kind of formula under which the City would assume responsibility for County parks and/or library services. We have requested some information from your office, and we intend to continue to work with you on concepts along that line in the future. Once again, it is our hope to bring at least these issues to an amicable conclusion.

Near 4000 Teal Street ADDRESS I NATURE OF CALL: There is a drainaqe problem at 4000 Teal Street. The problem is compounded by a ;eep pick-up that has not been driven in some time. I PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING AND RETURN TO DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS INVESTIGATED BY: Mark Leal/Tom Owens DATE 4-8-94 TIME CONDITION FOUND: There is debris stacked UP aqainst the jeep tires in the gutter which is obstructinq proper drainage. ACTION TAKEN/REMARKS: 4000 Teal Street is the site of a former City drain- aqe sump. However, drainaqe in this area is qood and the sump served no useful purpose. Consequently, in the summer of 1993, the sump was filled with dirt and eliminated. As a result, the resident to the west (down- stream), who complained about the condition of the sump (weeds. debri and erosion) was not happy with nuisance drainaqe now flowinq past their property. The Bakersfield Police Department has taqqed the ;eep for re- moval or consequent towinq. On 4-11-94 the vehicle was moved approximately 6 feet to the west therefore avoidinq towinq.

DATE: April 11, 1994 TO: FRED KLOEPPER, ACTING PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FROM: STEPHEN L. WALKER, TRAFFIC. ENGINEER;./#{) SUBJECT: White Ln at Mtn. Vista Traffic Control Study, City Council Referral No. <none> As requested, a traffic study was performed to determine if additional controls are warranted at the intersection. The existing intersection has stop signs for Mtn vista, a collector street, and crosswalks painted. White Lane, a major arterial street, does not stop. Traffic volume counts were obtained on a Tuesday, March 15, 1994. The volume data was reduced and warrants determined from the data I' during the week of March 21, 1994 by the traffic counts technician and subsequently reviewed by the supervising engineer. I received the completed study and warrants during the week of April 4, 1994. TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTS: The intersection meets minor warrants for a traffic signal based on I peak hour volume warrants. Warrant 9, 4 Hour Volume Warrant, was ,! met and Warrant 11, Single Peak Hour Warrant, was met. The " accident warrant was not met and the intersection has good III a accident history with only 2 accidents reported in a twelve month I period. Since this location met at least one warrant, it will be ! added to our list of locations for future signal installation funding. MULTI-WAY STOP WARRANTS: The warrants for multi-way stop signs was not met with this study. The minor street volume (Mtn Vista) requirement of 200 vehicles per hour, or 140 per hour when the speed is above 40 mph, was not met and averaged only 129 cars per hour for the 8 highest hours. The main street volume (White Ln) minimum was met with an average of 875 cars per hour for 8 hours. The minimum average delay of 30 seconds per vehicle to vehicles on the minor street was not calculated since the minimum volume was not met. Since pedestrians can also be counted in the minor street volume, and the location is about 1/2 mile from a high school, school pedestrians were observed for possible inclusion. Based on my observations during the past week, about 70 to 80 students could be expected to cross at this location during the 8 highest volume I :1 ---------- 7' ~-"-'~- . -", I I hours. This raises the average to close to the minimum 140 average ! I minor street volume. This area is increasing in population due to new home construction, and more traffic is expected on Mtn. Vista, both cars and pedestrians, in the near future due to development. With this in mind, it is certain that the intersection will meet all volume warrants for a multi-way stop installation in the near future. Multi-way stops will also delay the need for a traffic signal by several years. RECOMMENDATION: Based on these growth proj ections,' the warrant information and the above volume data, I recommend that the intersection be converted to multi-way stops.

City Manager It;{ RECEIVED FROM: Gene Bogart, Water and Sanitation nager P"iR ! 4 1994 SUBJECT: WATER AND SANITATION UPDATE CITY MANAGER'S OFFiCE ._~. - ----_.--= It's been a while since our last status report. The following is a quick rundown on current issues and projects: 1) Expansion onto the new 30 acre green waste/inert site on Mt. Vernon Avenue is on schedule. The water main extensions and final site grading is complete, with fencing and completion of the access road underway. Mike Sides is reviewing plans for signage and advertising of the new site with Greg Sanders and Mary Beth Garrison. We will forward these to Gail for review when completed. Environmental review of proposed "Metro MRF" that will be sited between Mt. Vernon Avenue and Oswell extension is continuing. 2) The timetable for implementing automated collection and the conversion plan for the Muni (residential and commercial) and contract haulers is almost complete. The plan will outline several policy issues (i.e., four ten-hour work days for residential collection, one-man commercial routes, container distribution, etc.). The effect on future rates will also be addressed. 3) Refuse ordinance update to reflect recycling, automation and AB 939 requirements will be circulated in May for final review. The remaining policy question will be whether or not the City should establish an enforcement arm for illegal dumping within City limits. This will become a significant issue in the future if the County does not implement mandatory collection in the Metro area. 4) As you know, the County is proposing to restructure the Solid Waste Management ',I Advisory Committee (SWMAC) into a smaller committee without direct staff (City , or County) representation. If successful, it would reduce Metro Bakersfield's influence regarding committee recommendations on recycling projects, automation, universal collection, legislative issues, etc. It appears our next move will be determined by the action (if any) taken by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, April 19, 1994. 5) Met with Carolyn Belli and discussed with Rich O'Neil the "hitching rail" proposed for Truxtun Lake area. No problem, the 10' long rail will be located away from grass areas and off the beaten path used by mountain bikes. City Parks personnel were also at the meeting. 11 T, '""9 . . April 13, 1994 WATER AND SANITATION UPDATE 6) Florn Core and I will be meeting this Friday (April 15, 1994) with managers and staff of North Kern Water Storage District and Kern Delta Water District to see if parties are serious about a permanent settlement to the First Point dispute. No attorneys will be present at this first meeting. We will be reviewing meeting results and background of this issue with Judy Skousen and Alan Daniel next Wednesday. Urbanization of the Kern Delta farmlands is of major importance to the City in the settlement of this issue. 7) Upper Kern Island Water Association (UKIWA). Had a long conversation today ! I with Joe Garone (he is prime mover in UKIW A issue). They will be meeting with representatives and the opposing attorney (Tom Fallgatter) on Friday, April 29th to I reach a possible compromise. I told Joe we would support an early settlement of this issue so that it does not expand or become a bigger issue involving other parties on the river. He will call with an update after their initial meeting. 8) Kern River Levee District - Tom Stetson and Scott Slater (Hatch and Parent consulting attorney) will be in town April 29th to discuss our strategy on the dissolution/takeover of the Kern River Levee District. Present Levee District personnel would like to pass on the responsibility and authority to the City since the Kern River is operated by the City, and the levee is located almost entirely on City- owned property. If we don't actively pursue this acquisition, it could end up under the County's control by default. Two major problems: a) It appears LAFCO would ultimately make determination, and; b) The Levee District is represented by County Council on all of its legal issues. 9) Following last years above-normal water supply, major maintenance and clean-up of the Kern River channel has been or is currently being completed between Golden State Highway (Route 204) and Stockdale Highway bridge. Sand, debris, weeds and snags have been removed and the river bottom cleared pursuant to the City Channel Maintenance program. Work is also presently 50% complete on the 2800 Acre basin levees number 8, 9 and 11. The final step will be to complete the road compaction and apply the aggregate base. Surprisingly, no calls have been received on any of the river and/or 2800 Acre levee work performed so far. 10) Staff has completed a preliminary alternative financing plan to fund the proposed "Interface Water Storage Tank" Initial savings with the operation of the storage tank look very good - not only in power (electricity) savings, but in reduced pump taxes paid to the Kern County Water Agency. Florn will have proposal in draft form. by next week. In the meantime, we are reviewing the final plans for construction of the booster pump station located at the water complex. This will allow us to begin pumping water from the City's 2800 Acre well field for direct use into the Ashe water system. We are currently scheduled to be out to bid on this project by early June. 11) Since the Old River/Calloway Road river bridge is now on the fast tract, we are looking at including a major water line crossing with the bridge construction. This was done at Stockdale Highway bridge and saved a tremendous amount of time in 2 ,I I I J\ '.. I " . April 13, 1994 WATER AND SANITATION UPDATE permitting, licensing and actual construction. We are coordinating this with the Public Works Department. 12) The initial bids received today for the Coffee Road Water Main Extension between Brimhall Road and Rosedale Highway look good. It appears we may be able to include bid alternates "2" and "3", which would include boring under Rosedale Highway to the north, and crossing the Friant-Kern Canal to the east along Rosedale Highway. The second bidder (Griffith Co.) has filed a protest as to how the envelopes were labeled during the submittal process (a minute detail). When completed, this project will provide a major link to the City's domestic water system, allowing us to move water from the City's 2800 acres through the Ashe water system and ultimately into the Riverlakes and northwest area of the City. 13) We will be taking the proposed 1994-95 "Water Price Schedules" for the Agricultural and Domestic divisions to the Water Board for review and recommendation at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 11, 1994. The Agricultural water rates will reflect the current 44% of normal water supply forecast (see attached April 1st Statewide Forecast). In Domestic Water we are still looking at an 8% increase (4% October 1st, 4% March 1st) for 1994-95. The initial 4% increase is due entirely to the 50% increase in pump taxes (from $20 to $30 per acre foot) that will be imposed by ID #4 in 1994-95. If the full 8% rate increase is authorized, the rate will still be below the rate currently charged by California Water Service Co. 14) North East Water Supply (N.E.W.S.) study - With the City Water Board approving Phase 2 of the N.E.W.S. study on March 16th, all the metropolitan water purveyors are now financial participants in the siting and sizing of a new water treatment facility to be located on the river in Northeast Bakersfield. This is encouraging, since the primary obstacle in the past has been non-participation amongst the purveyors without a commitment to a final project. As it is now calendared, the environmental work should begin, financial commitments made and final design completed in 1995. I hope the "Habitat Conservation" plan is in place by then. If you have any questions or need further information on any of the above items, please call me. GB:sr cc: Flom Core Mike Sides Attachment , W&SUPDATE I , I ! I 3 ,II ~ 0' _.-..¡. 'J' .

Dry and wann weather conditions caused early melting and a significant reduction in snowpack during the month. As a result the water supply outlook has worsened and the cutTent water year is expected to be critically dry. Can-yover reservoir storage from last year will help meet some of the needs for water. Forecasts of April through July runoff are now projected to be only about 50 percent of average, down 15 percent from one month ago, Water year forecasts have been lowered about 10 percent, comparable with runoff in 1991 and 1992. Snowpack water content is half average for this date, compared to 150 percent one year ago. Normally, peak snowpack accumulation is around April 1, but this year amounts have diminished during March. Snowpack percentages are fairly similar in most regions of the state, except that the North Lahontan area is lower. Precipitation during March was 40 percent of average statewide. Only the extreme south and some eastern California locations had above normal monthly precipitation. Seasonal precipitation is 60 percent, compared to 150 percent last year and 65 percent one month ago. Runoff in March was 45 percent of normal. Runoff so far this water year since October 1 has been about 40 percent of average compared to 110 percent last year. Reservoir storage continued to gain slowly, about 0.8 million acre-feet during March. Statewide storage remained near 95 percent of average, not much different from one year ago. , SUMMARY OF WATER CONDITIONS IN PERCENT OF AVERAGE PRECIPITATION APRIL 1 APRIL 1 RUNOFF APR-JULY WATER YEAR HYDROGRAPIDC AREA OCTOBER 1 SNOW WATER RESERVOIR OCTOBER 1 RUNOFF RUNOFF TO DATE CONTENT STORAGE TO DATE FORECAST FORECAST N9.~lli..ÇQAß.:r............................. ...................@...............................?~........................J.QQ............................}?................................?..9..........................49. ~AN..f.~.ANq~ç.9.~f..r............. 65 --' 100 25 c- -- ...........,...........................................................................................................................m.....................................................

I CRY MANAGER'S OFFICE I TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: JUDY K. SKOUSEN, ACTING CITY ATTORNEY ~~ SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT I Pursuant to your request, here is a summary on some of the significant work now in progress: Cases: 1. Prado v. COB is going to trial on May 16, 1994. This case involves allegations of excessive force and civil rights violations against the Bakersfield Police Department. 2. COB v. K~rn County and Jameson, real party in interest, is set for a CEQA writ hearing on May 6, 1994. This case originated when the City sued the County over traffic impact fees, and was complicated when Jameson cross-complained against the City, attempting to have our traffic mitigation fee ordinance declared invalid. 3. Saunders v. COB: As further retaliation, Jameson's employee sued the City, claiming the Hotel project did not comply with CEQA. The City Clerk's Office is currently compiling the.Administrative Record. 4. Meade v. COB is going to arbitration on May 29, 1994. This case involves premises liability for a trip and fall on a City street. -- - - - - - - - 1994,- the attorneys' 5. COB v. Deja Vu: On May 2, fees issue in the Deja Vu action will be argued. Attorneys' fees will be awarded against the City in an amount to be determined by the court. 6. Pratt v. COB: Granite's insurance company has agreed to indemnify and defend the City and has taken over the defense of this action. This action is for inverse condemnation concerning the construction of the H Street underpass. 7. Dockery v. COB: City won a dismissal of this case by the federal district court as a result of our motion for summary judgment. This action involved allegations of trespass and illegal condemnation against the City. THIS MEMORANDUM IS EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE AND IS PROTECTED BY THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT AND ATTORNEY WORK-PRODUCT PRIVILEGE ! ----~-~ u : ~, 1, ~ '" I I Memorandum to Alan Tandy, City Manager Re: Status Report April 18, 1994 Page 2 8. Scheerer v. COB was settled for $1,000 from the City and $2,000 from Granite Construction Co. The original demand was in excess of $20,000. This is a case of premises liability for an accident which occurred on the Bike Path. 9. Grady v. COB is a workers' compensation case which was won by the petitioner (Grady) at the local level and was appealed by the City to the San Francisco Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. The WCAB ruled in favor of the City and reversed the finding of AOE/COE. By finding the petitioner was not AOE/COE, the City has a complete victory. The petitioner has requested reconsideration from the WCAB and may take a writ to the Fifth District Court of Appeals. Ordinance/Contracts/Miscellaneous Matters: 1. The new Brown Act took effect April 1, 1994. 2. General plan amendments are due to be considered on June 10, 1994. 3. The Fire Fund negotiations continue. 4. The prevailing wage task force continues. We are spending a considerable amount of time answering their questions and providing legal information for them. 5. A threatened lawsuit by North Kern Water Storage District against the other members of First Point Group threatens the Shaw decree. Negotiations and legal research are continuing on this matter. 6. The federal government, through the Solicitor General, apparently intends to file an administrative action against "Valley Communities" for flooding land with effluent received from the City of Bakersfield's wastewater treatment plant. The City will be asking to intervene and file an amicus brief in support of the farmers and the EIR, which allows flooding this land. The Solicitor General will be accusing the farmers of taking an endangered species by the , flooding. I 7. The loitering ordinance concerning drug activity is ready for City Council consideration. The second loitering ordinance concerning prostitution is in abeyance until the -- __Hn ___m_- ~ ~ 1~", ~........, Memorandum to Alan Tandy, City Manager ! I Re: Status Report I April 18, 1994 Page 3 California Attorney General issues an opinion on the language intended for the ordinance. 8. The Coffee Road separation of grade and widening has run into problems due to the possibility of pollution on the property. Ralph Huey and BSK & Associates have reviewed the old reports and advise there are major problems. Contact will be made with the Regional Water Quality Control Board before proceeding further. 9. Our office continues to research the issue of the hotel taxes and will brief you before meeting with the County Counsel to negotiate-the back taxes. 10. An ordinance is being drafted to combine the Citizens' Park and Recreation Committee and the Citizens' Convention Center Committee. No objections have been received from the individual committees. ii 11. Analysis is under way concerning disposal of old documents. ! Presently a City Council resolution is required.

'! i Ii III THE PROBLEM: Ii 'I Gangs and gang-related activity have become serious crime problems in California. Currently, II I" Ii! there are approximately 200,000 criminal street gang members in California between the ages of II 'I' 12 and 40. This figure represents a 280 percent increase over the past 11 years. The increase in gang membership is due, in part, to the recruitment of gang members at a younger age. ': Gang related problems cost California's taxpayers about $1 Billion each year, according to the Department of Justice. There are over 5,000 gang members incarcerated in the California Youth Authority, the cost of which is estimated at $160 million per year. Medical treatment related to gang violence in Los Angles County alone during 1991 cost nearly $800 million. Experts agree that the lack of positive alternatives is one of the key reasons why young people join gangs. Many at-risk youth see few options other than the streets and gang involvement. Recreation programs aimed at at-risk youth make economic sense, especially when we consider that it costs $31,370 to incarcerate one juvenile in the California Youth Authority for a year. Proposition 180 is specifically designed to help our communities provide at-risk youth with positive alternatives to juvenile delinquency, gang involvement and drugs. JOBS FOR AT-RISK YOUTH: Proposition 180 puts thousands of at-risk youth to work making our neighborhood parks safer, building recreational trails, planting trees, and restoring river and stream habitat. 0 $15 million in competitive grants to community conservation corps to hire and train at-risk youth on projects that improve our parks and natural areas; and 0 Express language provides that agencies utilize the services of the California Conservation Corps and local conservation corps when implementing other park and wildlife projects funded by Proposition 180. i (916)444-8726 EXT 83 926 J Street.

Questions and Answers California Park and Wildlife Bond Act CALPAW '94 1. What is the Parks and Wildlife Initiative? The Parks and Wildlife Initiative (known as CALF A W '94) is a general obligation bond act which will provide nearly $2 billion to acquire, protect, and develop parkland, wildlife 'I habitat, prime agricultural land, coastal areas, river habitat and other resources. It has been II placed on the June, 1994 ballot by the signatures of more than 725,000 California voters. II I' 2. Why do we need new parks and protected wildlife areas? What about restOring our existing areas? ill ,I' California continues to grow at a rate of more than 500,000 people a year. These new Ii ¡i residents need housing, roads, schools and other amenities, but this growth is putting great " pressure on our remaining open space, parkland, and wildlife habitat. We must preserve the II II best of these undeveloped lands for future generations, in order to preserve the quality of life Ii in California. I' II But we also need funds to restore our existing parks and wildlife areas, which have been " severely degraded due to budget cuts. CALF A W '94 provides funds for this purpose as well, because it makes good sense to restore and preserve what we have already paid for. 3. What types of places would be protected? CALF A W '94 would protect wildlife areas, land that harbors rare and endangered species, urban parks, open space that surrounds major cities, prime agricultural land, old growth forests including redwoods, rivers and streams, wetlands, and virtually all other important types of lands treasured by Californians. CALF A W '94 also provides badly needed funds to develop recreational and park facilities in neighborhoods throughout California. These include playgrounds, ball fields, swimming pools and other facilities. Urban tree planting funds are also included. Special funding is provided to improve public safety at our neighborhood parks, including II programs to reduce gang activity, drug problems, and other types of criminal behavior which II make our parks unsafe for public use. " II II Finally, funds are included to protect cultural heritage sites important to ethnic communities 1\ such as Latinos, African Americans, Asians, and Native Americans, as well some of the I most important historical sites throughout California. (916).w..8726 EXT 83 9261 Street. Suite 612 Sacnmmm. Caüfornia ~14 FAX 191Ôl448-1i89 -..",~---"-- t-c-. iD -flII.JoU '\ ." .' 9. Who is spomoring this initiative? CALP A W '94 is sponsored by a very broad coalition of conservation groups, business organizations, labor unions, groups representing ethnic diversity, law enforcement, and many other segments of California society, including the League of Women Voters of California. !: I Some of the leading conservation groups working for CALPA W '94 include the Sierra Club, Planning and Conservation League, Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, the Nature I Conservancy, and Friends of the River. 10. How can state and local governments afford to operaJe the new parks and wildlife areas? The vast majority of State Park acquisitions will be to acquire lands threatened with development at the boundaries of existing state parks. These acquisitions will actually make the existing parks easier and more economical to manage and maintain. Local agenciés will only be given funds to acquire new lands if they certify in advance that they have the ability and funds to manage these lands for the foreseeable future. 11. Can the state afford to pass this bond act? Although California continues to suffer from the recession, the Treasurer has announced that more than two billion dollars in general obligation bonds can be accommodated. The bond act contains language stating that the bonds will only be sold if there is no threat to the credit rating of the state. 12. Can the state afford NOT to pass this bond act? In 1928, the voters approved the bond act that launched the state park system. Those bonds, sold throughout the Great Depression, were an investment in an integral part of one industry in California, tourism, that is thriving, even in the current recession. Tourism, California's number 1 industry, depends heavily on the diversity of California's landscape and parks. With land prices and interest rates as low as they have been in a lifetime, we now have the opportunity to make the same wise investment in the future of our families and the land that supports them.

Californians for Parks & Wildlife 1994 i Can Cilifornia Afford CalP A W '94'/ ii ii I A5 fellow taxpayers, we are all concerned about the economy of California. In fiscally constrained times it is important to make sure our.investments are not only sound but contribute to the funher economic health of the state. California's infrastructUre is financed in large part by General Obligation bonds. This form of indebtedness is not unlike the mortgage on your home. Every year, as some bonds are retired, some new ones are sold. The State Treasurer has stated that California should reinvest up to $2.7 billion in this tWo-year election cycle. CalP A W '94 creates very specific law that makes sure the money will be spent as the voters intended and not secretly hijacked to finance some politician's pet bureaucracy. One noteworthy featUre of park bonds, unlike prison bonds or school bonds, is that parks and wildlife areas are investments that appreciate rather than depreciate. With land prices and II interest rateS the lowest in years, now is a perfect time to make this investment in our agriculturiù lands, parks, open spaces, wildlife habitats and all they nurture. It is no less important to remember that our parks and wild areas are the very foundation II of the one major industry in California that has not lagged during this recession. Tourism rose slightly last year. Historically, park visitation and related spending generates $60-70 million in sales tax revenues for the State. State parks also generate around $1 billion in annual economic activity. In some rural communities, a state park is the economic center. The contribution to the economy by sportsmen runs in the millions. Furthermore, jobs in sportS and recreation ,increased dramatically last year. One job is created with every 5,300 park visitors. Last year 70 million people visited State parks, thereby creating more than 13,000 jobs that are helping California recover from the loss of so many of its other industries. Most exciting, while the public may not know these facts and figures, time after time in the public opinion polls and the voting polls, people continue to show they agree that parks and open spaces and wild places are crucial to our quality of life. Finally, in order to remain good neighbors and protect the economy of rural areas, Ca1P A W requires management plans on lands acquired under this act as well as an up-front in- lieu payment of property taxes at the request of the county. II The bottom line is that CalP A W ' 94 makes good economic sense and we are committed to seeing it pass in June of 1994. We'd like you to join us. If you have any funher questions, please do not hesitate to call. I (916)~726 EXT 83 926 J Screet. Suite 612 Saa:unemø.

The current funding deficiencies discussed in the February 1, 1994 report does not include TC¥funding. For example; the capital, operation and maintenance costs of the above mentione4 -200-Bus system would exceed $500 .million through 2010. The 200-Bus plus 22 mile Light Rail would exceed $1 ,billion through 2010 èxcluding right of way, design, engineering ~d contract administration. (Recall that the February 1, 1994 report indicated Joca1 twenty year road~ capital. fun~¡ needs of approximately $250 million and $160 million for LOS C and D, respectively.) . : . Shortage of Transportation Funding is and will: remain an - extremely critical issue for years to II come. -'-'---'----.- . - .._- I, Ii The primary options available to the Board of Supervisors as presented in the February 1, 1994 I H are restated with appropriate revisions: .' 1. Take no action; . 2. . Direct staff to initiate. the public hearing process necessary to revise the 2010 General PIan to LOS D stalldarq and determine approXimate $100,000 funding source for EIR process; 3. Direct staff to initiate the public hearing process necessary to revise the impact fee program to fund LOS C; or; . . . 4. Direct staff to further pursue reVision of the 2010 -Circulation Element and to provide a future status report. : Option Number 2 would require the preparation of an EIR with estimated costs of $100,000 to be borne exclusively by the County and 9-12 months.to complete. There is no known funding .-,- ~ source at this time; . Option - number-3 would involve. further- review -of -fee alternatives . to fund II LOS C, potential effects of TCM .credits. and coordination with the City of Bakersfield. The time-frames of both Options 2 and 3 would probably overlap and potentially be inconsistent with work to be done by Kern COG. Option Number 4 appears to be most desirable at this - time for the following reasons: Kern COG has just started an extensive project involving. an update of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Congestion Management Plan (CMF) [I including a consultant contract for preparation of an EIR. This process shall be completed by September/October 1994 and shall for the first time incorporate new 'I air quality confonnity requirements, the above-referenced new TCM program and II requires a financially constrained Transportation Improvement Plan (from II currently identified funding sources).

I . Ii Month Day, 1994 1i Dear Property Owner: The City of Bakersfield is proposing to install a speed bump on (street Name) to slow traffic and reduce unnecessary through traffic on this street. This action is in response to past complaints received by the Traffic Engineer, various petitions 'or inquiries from other sources. The installation of a speed bump on ~our street is part of a City-wide test of effectiveness of speed bumps. Traffic Engineers will monitor the speed and volume of traffic on your street before the installation and again several times after the installation. If our results indicate the speed bump pilot program is successful, city staff and the Council will considered developing a policy on installation of speed bumps, where needed, throughout the City. The policy will specify the required fee to be paid by residents to have speed bumps installed, petition requirements, description of street types that can be considered for speed bump installation and other details. If the test speed bump is a detriment to the neighborhood and does not reduce speeds or traffic volume, it will be removed. Assuming no delays due to inclement weather, construction could start as early as six weeks from now. For your information, a sketch drawing that shows what a speed bump will look like, is enclosed. A response card is also provided for your convenience. Please take a few minutes to fill out the card and drop in the mailbox. If no ,response is received within 10 days we will consider that you are in favor of this improvement. If 25 percent, or more, of the responses are negative, the project for your street may be eliminated. \ Thank you for your assistance in this test of speed bump effectiveness. If you need more information on this traffic project, please contact Brad Underwood, during normal office hours, at 326-3993. . Very truly yours, Fred L.
