MEMORANDUM
June 10, 1994
~
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNC~ I
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. This date represents something of a small historic footnote. As of today,
the $1 million is in the Trust Account and we have closed on the Hotel
property; so, it is in the ownership of Hammons. They will occupy the site
and begin work next week.
2. We met with the County on the Fire Fund. We have one set of definitions,
which is substantive and still needs to be worked through. If that is
resolved, however, we will be done with the written agreements, and will
have them ready for legislative action. We will know by early next week if
that is the case.
3. As identified to you in a variety of early communications, once you put in
place the decision to consolidate all the parks and street scape
maintenance districts, you cannot reverse that. You can assess less, but
not more. If the resolution is turned down on the 29th, the City loses
$1.8 million, which would have to come from the General Fund. Even if you
assess everyone at the lower level of what they received in this year1s
notice, or 1 ast year I s assessment, we woul d lose $ ~ mill ion. I have
enclosed for you a series of documents identifying what some of the early
warnings were on this.
I understand the strong feelings and division over the appropriateness of
the maintenance districts. I do not believe, however, we would want that
division to result in costing the General Fund, and therefore public safety
programs, a large amount of money. We will be researching ways of further
addressing some of the higher increases and will be bringing it forward for
your consideration.
4. We also met with the County on tax splits. There was less progress here.
They did agree to at least consider Rosedale #5 and Union #10 based upon
some evidence of what our costs consist of, but there was no substantive
progress.
5. A memo from the Ci ty Attorney IS Offi ce on the Pankey vs. City suit is
enclosed, for your information.
6. Castle & Cooke ~s proceeding with a phased assessment district for several
of their development areas to install arterial streets and other public
improvement-so It is estimated that it will be in the area of $25 million,
phas9d in a couple of different issues.

7. When the Call Box signs go up, we hope you are happy with them. Some of
the donors were shown a model sign which was more identifiable for the
business than the ones you were shown in the Council Chamber. We have
attempted to compromise it to keep both the donors happy and still have
them look respectable.
8. The burn dump meeting went well. Nine residents appeared. For the most
part, it was positive. We will be proceeding with the next step in the
study, which will probably take nine months to a year.
9. In accordance with a Council request, information on the Healthy Cities
Program is enclosed for your information.
10. There is a memo enclosed to the Fire Battalion Chiefs. We are still not in
agreement with respect to their efforts to unionize.
11. Responses to Council Referrals are enclosed regarding a traffic complaint
on South "H" Street, and a traffic study at 19th and "L".
12. There are some Development Services Department notes and updates enclosed,
for your information.

TO: HONORABLE ~mR ANO CITI COUNC¡~
FROM: A~N ~N~. CITY ~N~ER ¡I
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. It is always a pleasure to be able to put good news in this documeßt. 'On
Thursday and Friday, our Marks-Roos Bond Pool sold. We did not hit the
absolute low end of the scale on interest rat~s, as.there was some bubbling
in rates that occurred in the last couple of days, but everything works.
The rates are reasonable. All financing for the Hotel is ~ow in place..
The Laborde property owners will see a subst~ntial rate reduction an~ the
"savingsll on the deal will pay for the ballroom and meeting rooms.
2. This is a reminder that I will be on vacati~n March 9th through 16th. I
will miss a Council Meeting. During my abs~nce, Gail Waiters will be in
charge the first week (March 9-11); John Stinson will be in charge the
second week (March 14-16). It gives them both experience that way!
3. In response"to an item that appears in the Council Goals relative toa
desire to streamline our regulations, X am contemplating using a
streamlining process I have used in two other communities. Bas; cally, it
consists of taking people from a cross sectio~ of the development community
and utilizing them to review our internal processes and procedures to
identify regulations which may not be necessary, and to articulate ways to
be more efficient in processing. At this point, it'is just a concept we
are working on at staff level, and have ch~tted about with the BIA. I
think it might be a valuable tool. I also note in making this proposal
that, from my viewpoint, the City has hist@rically done a good job, in
terms of trying to streamline and make efficient its development processes
in comparison to the vast majority of other ~ommunities. It does not mean
we can't get better, but I do want to clar~fy that this is in no way a '
criticism of our development processes.
4. Enc 1 osed you wi 11 fi nd a copy of an agreement submitted by the Trade
Council to the Hammons firm, relative to the settlement of that issue. In
it, the Trade Council tried not to indemnify us, leaving us exposed to !
1 awsu it. It was also tied to a project agreement which, from the outset, I,
has been unacceptable to Hammons. Hammons will revise the document and
resubmit it to them. They have developed a corporate policy that
recognizes they are going to live with us in this community, and they will
not sign an agreement which does not indemnify and protect us, as well as
themselves. Dialogue will continue.

M E M 0 RAN DUM,
March 25, 1994
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCI
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. There was a story in The Californian on water rates, which contained a
great many errors and was very misleading. A copy of that, along with a
correction of the real situation from the Water Division is enclosed~
2. There is a letter enclosed on the Fire Department's meet.ingsand
discussions with the BIA over roofing materials standards for northeast
Bakersfield.
3. Thi s is to 1 et you know that we are in somethi ng of a "cross fi re" between-
competing downtown interests. We are trying to get the "KII Street parking
lot and surrounding improvements finished. However, some groups want'to
look at a parking garage. Some groups want us to hurry up with the surface
lot; other groups say, II ho 1 d up, incase the property owners are interested
. II We felt that those looking for a garage would probably lose
1n a garage.
their i nterest 1 eve 1 when they saw some cost estimates, which we have
recently provided. If we conti nue to get conflicting i nput on that
subject, we will probably bring this before Council in the not-too-distant
future for a decision.
4. Good news! Sales tax receipts are up in excess of 3!% over last year on an
annualized basis. This is the second consecutive quarter wit~ a positive
trend, and it is very favorable.
5. We had felt that we were in the clear lead positio~ with respect to an 125-
employee dough company. We were notified by the KEDC, very late- in the
process, that Delano had moved in front of us. This is one of two "hot"
prospects. If we do not land the second, we will throw up an old question
for your reconsideration, IIIs the KEDC representing too wide a geographic
area, and are they unable to devote adequate attention to its core, which
is Bakersfield?1I
6. The California Conservation Corp. is interested in doing some landscaping
work for us, which could save us some money. A letter is enclosed as
background information for you.
7. With respect to the Hotel, the developers have given Local No. 12, the
Operating Engineers, every chance to come into 1ine. The Hammons people
have recompromised their position several times. They have been willing to
accept, simply, a 1 ega 1 indemnification from the Operati ng Engi neers,
knowing that there would still be pickets, as long as the other unions
- ---- ---
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
March 25, 1994
Page -2-
agree not to honor the Operating Engineers picket lines. They also offered
union labor on the crane and lift. These were substantial concessions; it
is IIgoing the extra mile.1I They do not plan to go any further and, ,if the
entire deal falls through because of the Operating Engineers, they are
still proceeding with the Hotel, but with not prevailing wage settlements.
This may break in the weekend paper.
They are going through design modifications on the Hotel. The two", most
significant are that the atrium will not be as high as the original design,
but will be wider and deeper. They also are dropping off th~ top~floor,
instead of shelling it out. That would still be in compliance with'the
DDA, as they would still have 259 rooms. We expect to have the drawings
95% done by April 15, 1994, and we are awaiting confirmation from'Mr.
Hammons on a possible celebration date in early May. I will let you' know
as soon as we have it confirmed. '
8. At your next regul ar Council Meeti ng, we wi 11 have a bri efi ng:.,on':- the
landscaping and park maintenance assessment districts, and th~proposed
amounts to be assessed for next year. We always have a IIchicken or'eggll
problem on those districts. Because the statutes require that we-bring
them in before the budget is adopted, we either have to notice the property
owners that we are going to assess more than what we will if we~subsidize
the districts, or we have to ask for some sort of early Council col'mr1tment
on the amount of the subsidy. The documents which will be brought before
you at the next meeting will show the same 33% subsidy level as was in
place last year for the parks. You would be able to increase the amount of
that subsi dy, but not decrease i t if the noti ces are sent out on that
basis. I wanted to give you early warning of this so you will be in a
position to let me know, or raise an issue at the Council Meeting, if you
want that 33% subsidy discontinued, or decreased.
9. We are in the midst of departmental meetings on the budget. It is going
well. We expect something of a stagnant year in terms of operations, but
without terrible hardship. We are also expect; ng a pretty good year' ; n
terms of capital improvements due to a series of things that happened.,last.
year giving us some lIone timell revenue sources.
10. A permit for construction of a 115 foot tower has been issued to Cellular
One, adjacent to the Bakersfield Municipal Airport, just off South Union
Avenue. There may be some concern expressed by airport users and neighbors
who have opposed higher towers at this location in the past. There are'
currently no restrictions preventing the permitting of a tower this size
adjacent to the Airport. There may be a need to restrict these types of
improvements in the future. The Planning Director is working on a method
to protect the air spaces around the airport.
11. The Kern Small Business Loan Fund Program is the recipient of the 1993
Avant-Garde Economi c Development Act i viti es Award. The award wi 11 be
presented on March 30, 1994, at the California Association of Loca 1
Economic Development Annual Meeting. The City of Bakersfield facilitated
in the creation of thi s new pri vate non-profit organization, provided

MEMORANDUM
April 15, 1994
TO: HONORABLE M~OR AND CITY CO~ ~
I FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER /
I
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
'I 1. There is a report enclosed from Development Services on current events and
upcomi ng acti vi ti es in that operati on. It i nc 1 udes the status of the
Habitat Conservation Plans and upcoming General Plan Amendments.
2. A group, I believe led by some County interests, is going after a Bill to
redistribute the sales tax. A strong letter of opposition from my office
is enclosed for your information.
3. Last week, you received a copy of a letter to E. Del Smith, the Washington
lobbyist. We are forwarding to him the information on the delayed Habitat
Conservation Plan for the northeast sewer project to see if he can be of
help in getting it out of the federal bureaucrat1s office.
4. The Fire Fund discussions are continuing. Along that line, we are going to
propose to the other cities in the County that we all undertake an audit of
the County.s method of distributing property taxes. A letter on what can
be done along that line, from one service provider, is enclosed. They work
on a percentage basis of what they find. My understanding is that two
cities in the County have already hired someone to audit on their behalf.
5. There is a memo enclosed regarding what the staff has found out on a
possibility of an EDA Grant for the Sewer Plant. It is a fairly cumbersome
process, but we are investigating further to see if it can be accessed.
6. I received a favorable response from the BIA regarding the possibility of
doing a regul atory streaml i ni ng process. A copy of thei r letter is
enclosed. We are waiting for some of the major projects, such as the
budget and labor negotiations, to settle out before having time to allocate
staff resources to thi s task. It uses the private sector interests
involved in the development area to provide input to make our regulations
less cumbersome and more effective.
:1' The Urban Development Committee met on Wednesday, April 13th. You wi 11
want to pay particular attention to a proposal, in your agenda packet, that
arose out of that Committee regarding consol idation of the maintenance
districts for this year. We need a decision on which direction you are
going, both on the 33% subsidy and the assessment consolidation, or not, at
your next Council Meeting.

Item 10c. Legislative and Litigation Committee Report regarding Loitering
Ordinances. The Legislative and Litigation Committee met to review suggested
changes to the loitering ordinances. The City Attorney is requesting an Attorney
Generalis opinion regarding the City.s ability to legislate in the area of
prostitution, as it may have been pre-empted by State law. There is no similar
concern for drug-related offenses. The Committee is suggesting implementing
changes proposed in Chapter 9.19, while deferring action on the, prostitution
loitering ordinance until the Attorney General I s opinion has been recejved.
Changes to the drug 1 oi teri ng ordi nance i s consi stent wi th those presented at the

Maintenance Districts. The questi on of whether or not to consoli' átë~:'òl.1r=40'>"
separate di stri cts down to a lower number was referred by Counci 1 member Pat Smith
to the Urban Development Committee. The Committee looked at a version with seven
districts, and a version with one district and two zones of benefit (parks and
streetscape). The Committee is recommending the latter version' for the
assessments.
Staff notes some special issues which the City Council must be aware of:
1)
I
L .
2) Consolidation of districts will save staff time and effort - reducing
man hours and material recording, as well as accounting. I t wi 11 a 1 so
make for more stable rates for all i n the future. The year of
implementation, however, will create change - in that year expect a
much higher than normal level of complaints.
3) There are three or four districts with special conditions which will
be detailed for you by the Parks staff. Comments are in the documents
contained in your packet.
4) It is anticipated that additional areas requiring maintenance
districts during the year would be formed as separate districts,
initially, so notices would be limited to the new area. This would
provide for the creation of districts required as a condition of
development. At the time of formation, the notice would include the
Cityls intent to consolidate this district into the single assessment
di stri ct at the time assessments were determined (as part of the
budget process) and, at that time, all property owners i n these
districts would be informed of the affect on the assessments due to
the annual consolidation of any new districts. This process would
provide for reasonable and cost effective compliance with development
conditions to form new districts, and could provide property owners in

Alan Tandy's Comments
April 20, 1994 City Council Meeting
Urban Development Committee Report
Regarding Consolidation of Maintenance Districts
II "Two points I wanted to make. One is, you will recall that six or eight weeks ago, I forget
exactly, the Council had been involved in a long review of the possibility of both going
to a consolidation of districts and extending it City wide. There was a Council vote
which resulted in that concept not moving forward, at which point Councilmember Smith
referred to Committee the issue of consolidating the districts absent the parallel action
of spreading it City wide. I say that as background because I am afraid you are up
against some deadline dates this evening; both on the 33% subsidy issue and on the
form of the assessment. Because of the new notice procedures required by the State,
I need to inform you that we need decisions from you tonight on these two issues... that
you can, later on, lower assessments. If, for example you adopt a 33% subsidy tonight
and you adopt, later on, to adopt a 40% subsidy, you still have that flexibility. But, after
this evening, you can't notice the people, assuming a 33% subsidy, and then later
decide to drop the subsidy, because the assessment notices wouldn't have been high
enough. I apologize for the lateness and for seeming to put your backs against the wall.
It was a product of the longer study of what evolved out of that. And, I would also like
to clarify that the issue of the 33% subsidy was recommended by staff and is contained
in the as-drafted proposed budget. We do not have to cut personnel, programs or
employees in order to do that. We included it because there had been two years of
Council precedent for it at that level, and, absent a solution to the City wide issue, the
equity issue overall, we assumed that would be best to carry forward into the future.
Thank you. I'

FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER ~
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
,,_.
'We have been working on the landscape and parks maintenance district
. assessments. In rolling up some of the information on the original version
of the consolidated districts, we saw what we thought were a number of
problems in terms of the impact on multiple lot owners. We have been
reworking the concept using four different multipliers, based upon
intensity of landscaping in the streetscape areas. It seems to be working
better.. You will find the information on this contained in the Agenda
packet.
2. We may have a Union grievance over my not having called a holiday for
Wednesday, when former President Nixon was buried. Some of the Unions
interpreted our contracts to require it, since it was Presidentially
declared. We did not have enough notice to do that, and did not feel that
the requirement in our MOUls was specific enough to this instance that it
triggered it. That could be litigated, however.
3. David M. Griffith & Associates, your consultant on the City Attorney
selection, has in mind that you were going to meet on May 14th to interview
the finalists that you, presumably, will select during the Workshop at your
May 4th meeting. My discussions with several members of the Council
indicate that was not adequately cleared and that it is, in fact, a .!
conflict. You will have to deal with the consultant when heis here on an I
alternative time and date.
4. It must be an election year... the Clerkls Office has been getting lots of
requests for campaign statements, statements of economic interest, and the
like.
5. You will find enclosed a memo showing the options we have relative to
. supporting an effort to get the Fox going. The substantive question is,
IIIs there still enough private sector support and push?1I We want to help-
not be the lead.
6. Your pre-meeting workshop on the 4th is primarily related to working with
David M. Griffith & Associates on setting finalists for the City Attorney
recruitment process. You may also have a brief labor negotiation update.

!
I the Council Meeting of June 29, 1994. No protests are anticipated by staff at
thi s ti me. This district will be included in the consolidated maintenance
district which follows.
Item 12d. Resolution of Intention to establish a ~ canso 1 idatedMai ntenance
District: At the meeti ng of Apri 1 20, 1994, the Council reèommended the
consolidation of the five City maintenance districts (40 divisions) i nto one
distri ct with two zones of benefit (one for parks and one for street and
landscape medians). This Resolution consolidates all of the City's existing
maintenance districts into a single district with two zones of benefit. The cost
to maintain all existing and future maintenance district parks will be spread
equally to all of the existing maintenance districts which contain parks, and the
cost to maintain the existing and future street and median landscaping will be
spread to all of the existing districts containing street and median landscaping.
The consolidation of maintenance districts is a reasonab 1 e way to achieve
administrative and accounting efficiencies and to reduce sharp fluctuations in
assessments.
In reviewing the proposed assessment documents, staff became concerned about the
effect of the consoli dati on method upon 1 arger parcels. Staff revi ewed the
benefit formula and it is staffls opinion that a IItieredll benefit system better
reflects the actual benefit of the landscaping to the specific property both for
R-1 and larger parcels. Simply stated, those areas with minimal landscape would
be at IITier 111 and those areas with extensive landscaping and other features,
such as monument lighting, would be considered IITier 4.11 Staff has provided some
comparisons of the assessments utilizing the tiered system. The Counci 1 has
several options to consider. One would be to adopt the IItierll concept; another
would be to continue with the method approved at the April 20th Council Meeting;
and a third would be to retain the existing maintenance district structure.
Staff is recommending approval of the IItieredll approach.
Any future development which requires the formation of park or street and median
landscaping maintenance districts would be required to form a separate district
with the same two zones of benefit, with the intent that the new district would
be incorporated into the consolidated maintenance district at the time
assessments were determined as part of the budget process; at which time, all
property owners in the consolidated district would be informed of the effect of
assessments due to the annual consolidation of new districts.
One other alternative that could be considered is this: We will, conservatively,
save $20,000 in administrative costs from this consolidation. It would be
reasonable, this year, to pass on those savings to those park districts which
were increased by over $10 per year for an R-1 assessment. That would reduce
those park assessments about $3 from what is shown in your materials.
Item 12e. Assessment District 93-3, California/Oak. This item includes all of

items provide for the approving of the boundary map, the Resolution of Intention

MEMORANDUM
June 6, 1994
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
./cS
FROM: JUDY SKOUSEN, ACTING CITY ATTORNEY "")
SUBJECT: PANKEY v. CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
This memo is to bring you up to date on the claim for
damages the City received on April 26, 1994 from Dr. Dana Pankey
which was highly publicized in the Newspaper for a few weeks.
The claim alleged the City committed various torts and breached
an oral contract regarding the Rancho Bakersfield Motel project.
That project was a joint City/Housing Authority application
for a federal grant under, what-was-then, a new program called
Shelter Plus Care. The grant would subsidize housing that was
dedicated to homeless, AIDS sufferers and mentally-ill persons,
as long as medical care and other services were also provided.
The City and Housing Authority of County of Kern (HACK) had
agreed to apply for the grant on behalf of Rancho Bakersfield.
At that time, federal regulations required cities to participate
with housing authorities on the application. Now, public housing
authorities can apply by themselves.
In June, 1992 the City received notification that the grant
had been awarded. Dr. Pankey and his representatives met with
the City and HACK representatives and all procedures were
discussed. One of the grant requirements demanded that Rancho
Bakersfield spend at least three thousand dollárs ($3,000) on
rehabilitation of the rooms which would house the Shelter Plus
Care recipients.
Since the Shelter Plus Care Program was so new, the City and
HACK asked representatives from Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) to work with them to make sure all regulations were
complied with.
Dr. Pankey's crew began rehabilitating the motel in
anticipation of the grant.

RE: Pankey v. City of Bakersfield
June 6, 1994
Page 2
Somewhere along the line, everyone found out that one
particular form had not been filled out prior to the
rehabilitation work being done. HUD claims this form is
critical. Therefore, the grant money was withheld.
The City and HACK worked with Dr. Pankey to request a waiver
from HUD, but the request was denied.
Dr. Pankey claims the City was negligent and committed fraud
in that he spent a great deal of money and the grant never
materialized.
The City received the claim from Dr. Pankey in April, 1994
but returned it as insufficient. He submitted an amended claim
in May.
I have researched the causes of action put forth in the
amended claim and can find no liability on the City's part.
Nevertheless, we have requested HACK to indemnify us for any of
their actions and will be working closely with them to resolve
these issues.
If you have questions please call.

MEMORANDUM

To:
: From:
Subject: California Healthy Cities Program
Healthy Cities is an integrated approach to enhancing the health of a city by focusing on a
process for community involvement. The Project began in 1988 with a core of 8 charter cities
who brought together municipal government representatives, local business leaders and residents
to address local priorities and issues of livability.
These eight cities, affluent and disadvantaged, large and small, addressed a diverse range of local
health issues:
the protection of the physical environment through the development of an integrated waste
management program;
the improvement of public safety through a targeted effort to curb youth-oriented drug
and gang activities;
the development of an educational campaign about AIDS targeted to business and
industry;
the provision of adult literacy and English-as-a-second language programs to give
Jesidents the skills that allow them to improve their physical, mental, and social health;
the implementation of injury prevention programs, including seat-belt usage and water
safety; and
the promotion of independent living for those with long-term care needs, through
increased coordination of existing social services and construction of an Adult Day Health
Care facility.
The California Project, the first of its kind in the United States, acts as a catalyst and a resource
for city-based innovations which improve health. The Project encourages a public policy
approach to a broadened definition of community health to encompass the physical environment,
economic conditions and social climate of a city. '-,

A Healthy City designation means different things to different cities:
A vehicle to bring different segments of the city together in mutually beneficial activities;
Increased and effective utilization of existing community resources;
A way to focus the community's energies on identified priorities;
Opportunities to leverage the designation as a Healthy City to secure outside resources
(funding, in-kind services) for local effons;
Recognition of the City. The National Civic League, who designated Bakersfield as an
All-America City, is participating in a similar recognition for Healthy Cities.
The Healthy Cities model was developed under the auspices of the World Health Organization
(WHO) and began in Europe in 1986. There are now 34 participating European cities, three
international networks, and 17 national networks.
The statewide public health effort is funded by the California Department of Health Services and
managed by the Western Consortium for Public Health, a non-profit corporation. The Project
offers staff support, technical assistance, small amounts of funds to assist with printing, travel
and acquisition of promotional materials, marketing materials and linkages with other funding
sources.
The first step in becoming a Healthy City is the attendance at an orientation session. The next
step involves the formation of a community-wide Steering Committee consisting of
representatives for the public and private sectors as well as the residents of the City who then
decide the focus of the Healthy Cities project. This approach presumes that those individuals
most affected by targeted issues have input into the identification of those concerns as well as
the design of solutions. Since the County Health Depanment has hired someone to coordinate
the development of city-based projects, we would not have to start "from scratch".
City Council must then pass a resolution endorsing the Healthy Cities concept, making a
commitment to participate in the Project. Submission of a workplan and proposal to the State
Project for approval is the final step before implementation of a project.
I have attached a copy of "Highlights", a quarterly update describing some of the projects
currently in development. As you can see, the array of programs is a diverse as the types of
cities undertaking them. If you required additional material or information, I have copies of the
quarterly newsletters, the orientation manual and other handouts.

Richard J. Pabst
1430 Truxtun Avenue, Suite 701
Bakersfield, CA 93301
Dear Mr. Pabst:
Thank you for your letter of April 29, 1994.
There is no change in the City's position on this matter. While we appreciate that Fire
personnel have the right to representation under the Labor Code, the Meyers-Milias
Brown Act, adopted after the labor Code provisions, gives the City the right to establish
reasonable unit determination rules. Clearly, both apply to the Fire personnel and thus,
we believe, need to be read together. As indicated in my letter dated December 20,
1993, (attached), I have found the requested unit to be inappropriate under the City's
rules.
The Battalion Chiefs are welcome to petition for a unit which would be appropriate under
the City's rules. I would also note that they remain free to join the Bakersfield
Firefighters labor Organization, which is an issue separate from the choosing of an
exclusive representative for an appropriate bargaining unit.

David R. Lugo, President
Bakersfield Chief Officer Group .C. Association
City of Bakersfield
201 Roxsbury Court
Bakersfield, CA 93309
Dear Mr. Lugo: I
I
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me regarding your petition for formal recognition. It '
was helpful to discuss this matter with you directly. After considerable thought, I have reached
the conclusion that the bargaining unit which you have proposed is not appropriate under the
City's rules.
Although there is no problem with the technical aspects of your application (petition, by-laws,
timing, etc.), I have concluded that the proposed unit is in violation of Chapter 2.76 of the
Bakersfield City Code. Specifically, the unit is not "...the largest feasible group with community
interest amongst such employees." (Section 2.76.100).
Battalion Chiefs meet the definition of management employee as outlined in Section 2.76.030.
As such, individuals in this classification are currently included in the non-represented group of
other management employees. The proposed Battalion Chief's Unit consists of only one (1) of
the numerous management employee classifications in this category, and would result in
bargaining unit of only eight (8) employees; making it the smallest bargaining unit in the City.
The unit would have an adverse effect on the operation of the City by adding such a small unit;
requiring additional time, effort, and cost to the City in the bargaining process. It would create
a precedent for requests for creation of other small, single classification management units; with
the inevitable result of other small units and further additional cost to the City in time, effort, and
money.
If you wish to submit a petition for a broader unit of management employees which would
eliminate the problems outlined above you are, of course, welcome to do so. In the interim, you
will continue to be a part of the non-represented management group. Please be assured that
I am more than willing to discuss any individual problems or concerns which the Battalion Chiefs
might have any time within the current informal relationship.
Don't hesitate to call if you have questions or if any further information is required.
Sincere~y I - /----

Attached is a copy of our Traffic Engineer's status report
relating to the above subject matter as requested by
Councilmember Salvaggio at the meeting of May 4, 1994.
Mr. Walker proposes no changes at this time.
Also, in reference to parking complaints on Hendricks Lane,

SUBJECT: MONTHLY UPDATE TO COUNCIL REFERRALS
REFERRAL NUMBER 13318
TRAFFIC COMPLAINT ON SOUTH H STREET
Council Referral:
"Salvaggio requested staff report back regarding a complaint
from citizens of why U-turns on South H Street, in the Houchin
Road area, are prohibited."
Traffic Engineer Response:
The Traffic Engineer has reviewed the location of the
prohibited U-turns on SouthH Street. The "No U-turn" signs
were installed several years ago to reduce an accident problem
involving U-turning vehicles at the intersections of South H
street at Hendricks Lane and South H Street at Lacey Street.
Left turns out of Lacey and Hendricks onto South H Street are
still allowed.
In recent years, since the U-turn prohibition, the accident
history has been good. With removal of the U-turn
prohibition, an increase in the potential conflicts at the
intersections would be expected.
No changes proposed at this time.

I
I have placed the traffic study request for 19th and L in our work
schedule as directed. Based on the current traffic study work
load, we should have results of a study to you in about 3 weeks.
This should gives us time to take the vehicle counts, the speed
study, pedestrian counts and delay counts needed for the analysis.
I will advise you of any changes in this schedule.

f Staff is reluctant to operate a billing system that has been
successfully outsourced to the private sector. In 1984 the Budget &
Finance Committee issued Rpt #17-84 that recommended the current
¡'i provider (Judicial Data serViCe.s) be hired due to a lower price than
. West Kern Municipal Court. Since the City and Judicial Data Services
. entered into a service contract on 9/1/84 there has been no increase
in price for their service. In addition, the committee report also
discussed the possibility of processing citations "in-house" but due
to the additional staff necessary to process the citations, the
Committee did not support "in-house" processing. Staff reductions in
1993-94 prevent us from absorbing the large task of "in-house"
processlng.

il NOTES TO ALAN TANDY
FROM JACK HARDISTY
June 7, 1994
I' 1. Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat ConselVation Plan has been approved by MalV
il Plenert, Regional Director of Fish and Wildlife SelVice. The notice of intent to
I issue a lOa permit is supposed to be published in the Federal Register this week
to open the 30-day review period. When that concludes we will bring the poor
old travel weary battered document back to City Council for another approval.
2. The Habitat ConselVation Plan and permit applications for the Northeast Sewer
Trunk line have passed State review and are now under Federal consideration.
Hopefully, the Metro HCP will be approved first since that would save us well
over $100,000.
3. A draft letter to the Assistant Secretary of the Interior is enclosed for your review
and approval concerning our frustrating HCP experiences.
4. General plan amendments will be heard by the Planning Commission on June 16
and are scheduled for hearing by the City Council on August 24, 1994. Of the
ten cases scheduled for this cycle, four have been rescheduled for a hearing to the
next cycle (September). These are numbers I, II, III and VIII. Of the cases
remaining reports are being prepared with the following recommendations:
Seg. IV Castle & Cooke, 12 ac. from HMR to LMR, at the NWC of
Panama Lane and Reliance Drive - DENIAL.
Seg. V Castle & Cooke, 16.4 ac. from LI to HMR, Madison south of Casa
Loma - DENIAL.
Seg. VI DeWalt, 4.78 ac. from GC to HMR at the NWC Hageman &
Jewetta - APPROVAL with 5 ac. retained for Commercial.
Seg. VII Cleo Foran, 20 ac. from LR to LMR, west side of Wible north of
Arvin-Edison Canal - APPROVAL.
Seg. IX Milazzo, 15.43 ac. HMR to GC at the NWC of Stine & Panama -
DENIAL.
Seg. X City of Bakersfield, 27.5 ac. P to SI at the SEC Highway 58 and Mt.
Vernon, APPROVAL of P to LI instead to satisfy the High School
District.
:~, ~{j,;

I -2-
5. I have asked De Walt if McAlister Ranch is ready to recommence annexation. He
said Jim Manly was still working on the details of the development agreement
(which we would have to honor if annexed) with the County and the anticipated
development would be delayed a bit due to the economy. They would give my
inquiry due consideration and get back to me.
6. Castle & Cooke asked Ted James and me to meet last Friday about a joint review
of their general plan amendment which straddles city and county. They are
concerned that all their planning would be wasted if the city and county don't
agree on the plan or don't agree on annexation or even if we did agree LAFCO
,I wouldn't permit the annexation. Ted and I agreed that it could be done but I
I
Ii would have to check with you for direction on this matter. I will further explain
! this by separate memo. Castle & Cooke would also apply for annexation since we
can't serve outside the city without LAFCO's approval and our policy is to not
serve outside of our jurisdiction.
7. The Cogeneration Plant CUP is scheduled for BZA hearing on June 28, 1994.
Mike Kelly, Raul Rojas and I have met to go over the access issues and better
articulate some of the conditions of approval. Destec has been instructed to
direct any correspondence about their desires to contribute to the community to
you and/or the Mayor since that is not a part of the CUP. An ironic note: One
of the peopJe who complained about lack of citizen notice and participation
recently complained about being drug into another public hearing about the cogen
plant.
8. On June 15 Jim Eggert and I win be making a presentation to the DBA board on
the new sign ordinance and the proposed downtown zoning ordinance.
9. On June 16 Councilwoman Smith and architect Darrel Ward win be meeting with
me about a possible 192-unit complex on Auburn Street. No plans have been
submitted for approval yet but the property is zoned for apartments and unless
Ward proposes something very unusual site plan review and building permits are
all he would require to start construction.
10. The BIA has been auditing our fees and budget for the past month but I haven't
heard any comments as a result of their review. There mayor may not be more
testimony at the hearing on fees this year. I expect there will be objections to the
more significant increases proposed.
11. Here's another perverse twist of State legislation and Reclamation Board rules
that frustrates any effort toward developing an image of rational government.
Even though the city received approval from the Reclamation Board years ago for
our channel maintenance program the State is now demanding that we do a
reclamation plan for the same thing then follow-up with annual reports.
I 12. The Western Rosedale Specific Plan hearing has been rescheduled again to July
25, 1994.
