We are struggling with land acquisition problems on the Coffee Road Bridge Project, because of soil contamination in the vicinity of the refinery. We are currently both planning a meeting with the State agency which would have regulatory control over any clean up and associated costs, as well as pursuing alternative designs in order to get the project moving. 4.

S2RiJliJlll May~r seeks equitable 'I solution to tax issue . \ "- By An Armendariz . I Mayor, City of Delano : As the Mayor of the City of Delano, I am faced with severe , , time restrictions by state law to have a property tax agreement negotiated with the COUnty prior to being able to have an an- nexation approved by the Local Agency Formation Commis- sIon. This annexation would enable us to have highly needed affordable housing developed In our community. Due to the fact that we have annexation pending, other cities In the county . have requested that I take the lead In requesting to have a lolnt mèetlng with all the mayors, city managers, county ad- ministrator and Board of Supervisors. .,., ,~ pu~ of thb¡ .m~lng ~I be to express the deep. \ :....'_,1',', Set' MÄYOR, Påge A16 ' MAYOR Continued from Page A1 , concsms of the cities with county's proposed new policies i which alter the tax spilt arrangements which have been In et- . feet since 1978, as well as the cities' unhappIness with lAFCO. ~ The cities wish to wOO< cooperatively with Kem County on ef- ficiency, eliminating service duplication and reasonably provid- Ing for growth opportunities. The cities preter cooperation In searching tor mutual areas of agreement, rather than the coun- I ty govemment taking revenue from other county taxpayers who happen to reside within the 11 cities. My personal analysis reveals that the recent passage cA proposition 172 has a permanent fixed and minimal amount of the new sales tax revenues tor the cities, yet has the major por- tion of revenues .earmar1<ed for the county. This Includes all In- creases that wli reNt through Inflation which wRI make a malor Impact In revenue redistributed to the benefit of the county. The disproportionate distribution of Prop. 172 funds Is I compounded by the fact that It Is a voter mandate to put more ¡ police and other crime fighting personnel on the streets and to \ . Increase the avaßablllty of other public safety service. such as f fire fighters. The fact 18 that the vast amount of crime 18 con- ¡ centrated In the cities and the vast amount of funds are given I ' to the county.

MEMORANDUM f JUN 301994 ~ \ CITY MANAGER'S Of~~~ June 28, 1994 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager nC FROM: Gene Bogart, Water and Sanitation Mrn~ SUBJECT: SUNDAY OPERATION OF CITY GREENWASTE FACILITY This memo is in response to your inquiry regarding the potential to provide seven day service (including Sundays) at the City's greenwaste facility located on Mt. Vernon Avenue. The current operation of the facility is Monday through Saturday with operating hours 7:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. Presently the site is processing approximately 3,000 tons of yard trimmings and woodwaste monthly. The current site is running near capacity with no additional space available to stockpile or store the greenwaste without a full operational crew working to process the material. This requires one supervisor, two regular and two temporary employees, plus work release personnel (6 to 10 workers daily). Total labor cost for City employees is $480 per day. City equipment cost is currently $505 per day to load and process the material, for a total site cost of $985 per day of operation. This does not include any overtime or special handling costs. Following completion of asphalt, scales, signage and other improvements scheduled for this summer, we should be able to expand onto the new 30 acre greenwaste and inert site located across the street. This will then allow us to continue processing five days a week and accept and stockpile material on Sundays with a minimum crew. After the move to the new site is completed, the cost associated with keeping the facility open on Sundays would be kept to a minimum since no processing would be taking place. Staff would only be accepting materials and directing traffic at the site on Sundays, which would only require one permanent and one temporary staffÍnember to be present. Depending upon the classification of the employees working on that day, the total cost would range between $190 and $220 each Sunday, or approximately $11,000 annually. Sanitation staff believes that keeping the greenwaste recycling facility open on Sundays would be well received by the public. This would allow City residents to recycle greenwaste products while doing weekend chores (mowing grass and trimming trees and ~ ~\. ,~,...;~ .. SUNDAY OPERATION OF CITY June 28, 1994 GREENWASTE FACILITY I shrubs). It would also provide weekend gardeners with a place to recycle greenwaste that would otherwise end up in the Bena landfill. County staff has also requested that we look at a Sunday operation for the metro area. Their financial participation would be negotiated prior to making a final recommendation on going to a seven day operation this fall. If you have any questions or require any further information at this time, please call me.

I called the realtor involved. It was actually a fast food restaurant, rather than a quality establishment. The site they are talking about is the low lying site at the northeast intersection of Coffee Road and Truxtun Avenue. It is within the area for the Kern River Plan. It also has nearly impossible traffic problems. It would upset the Parkway Committee and require a General Plan Amendment. I indicated to the realtor that I did not think that was likely to happen, for a fast food restaurant, and offered him other locations for his prospect.

Dear Mr. Tandy: We have a copy of a letter sent to you by Mr. John Boydstun of Boydstun Realty Co., Inc. We want to go on record as being in opposition to the conversion of publically owned open-space along the Kern River Parkway to private commercial use. As you know this area has been designated a? a rest stop area for the Kern River ,Bicycle Path. Such open~space green areas are at a premium and should not be made available for commercial development. There are many vacant commercial sites throughout Bakersfield as well as many undeveloped sites that could easily accommodate such a project. It is obvious that the highest and best use for the site along the Kern River Parkway is as public open-space. We will make every effort to maintain this site as a bicycle rest stop area. We ask that-you make any communication withxhe_proponents of. this project "'- available to us in a timely fashion.

ANDERSEN, COMMUNITY SERVICES MANAGER SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL No. 13521 (Rowles) ROLLERBLADE ACTIVITY On Thursday, June 23, Recreation Superintendent Jim Ledoux and Assistant Parks Superintendent Allen Abe, along with Brad Underwood from public works, met with Mrs. Reihaldt Schwartz, owner of property at 1641 Elm Street, to discuss problems related to rollerblade activity at Jastro Park. Several issues were discussed but primary concerns were the overabundance of noise and the strain on resident parking caused by participants and spectators of this activity. Mrs. Schwartz was informed that the Central Valley In-Line Hockey season was ending on Saturday, June 25, and that the league administrator had promised to remove the portable arena from Jastro, thereby eliminating organized league activity which should help alleviate much of the problem. It should be noted that in recent weeks the City has been approached by other groups seeking to utilize the skating area to form another league which would put them in direct competition with the established league. Since Jastro is the only available City facility for this type of activity, a second league could create scheduling problems. Attempts have been made to get these parties together to work out some sort of compromise, or better yet, to combine their efforts. So far these efforts have not been successful. Considering the growth and popularity of the rollerblade activity, in particular after the Central Valley In-Line Hockey Association was organized, I have discussed with staff the feasibility of moving to alternate sites. There may be space at either Central or Beach Park. These areas could provide adequate parking and are not located adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Also, staff will be researching costs for developing a site as well as costs to provide for league play. Finally, at the Council meeting of June 29 this item was referred to the Citizen's Park and Recreation committee.

On June 15, 1994 Joanne Wilhite forwarded a letter to the City Council asking the City to establish a program, similar to that in place with the County of Kern, for resolving conflicts between mobilehome residents and park management. Subsequent to the referral by the City Council to this department, I contacted the author of the letter Joanne 'Wilhite, President of the Mobilehome Owners Association of Kern County. In my brief conservation with her, she indicated that in the nearly two years this mechanism for conflict resolution has been in place, the County of Kern has never been asked to become involved in mediation. I asked her if she could put me in contact with her counterpart at the Western Mobilehome Association. She gave me a phone number and indicated I should speak: with Mr. David Evans. She indicated that Mr. Evans and she had resolved a limited number of conflicts on their own. She indicated that she was comfortable with her ability to work with Mr. Evans in a cooperative way. In speaking with Mr. Evans he echoed the sentiment expressed by Mrs. Wilhite. He questioned the need to duplicate the County's program. He confirmed that Mrs. Wilhite and he have been able to resolve any matters between them without relying on any County mediation efforts. I indicated to both the Mobilehome Owners Association of Kern County and the Western Mobilehome Association that I may be proposing that the City duplicate the exact format that the County of Kern has adopted. I emphasized to both parties, should the City Council approve such a program, that the City would then playa narrow role by offering its "good office's" in an attempt to resolve conflicts that have reached an impasse. The City would not engage in issues relating to private property rights or tenant issues. Both parties expressed their understanding of the limited role the City could play. At present I am trying to establish who the County contact is for additional background information. dlt:jw4 mobilresp.mem ---'..--- -. -. ; -- I Æ . - B A K E R 5 F I E L D PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT c MEMORANDUM TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: RAUL ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR #¡-- DATE: JULY 6, 1994 SUBJECT: Council Referral Record #13515 STREET SWEEPING PROGRAM (Smith) At the Council meeting of June 15, 1994, Councilmember Smith requested staff look into the feasibility of expanding the street sweeping program and notification to the residents.

(See Attachment "A") Although'we currently have 2 miles of residential streets posted in two parts of the City, we plan to review other neighborhoods that would lend themselves to a scheduled sweeping program. However, before we propose expansion of the Posted Street Sweeping Program, there are two important items we must determine: 1. Personnel and EauiDment. It is absolutely necessary to have adequate sweepers and sweeper operators to maintain a sweeping schedule if parking is controlled by signs. The General Services Division will also have to review their availability to install the signs. 2. Enforcement Policv. We will consult with the Police Department as to their availability to enforce the posted policy. A program requiring posting of streets would be ineffective without strict enforcement. Once we determine the feasibility of expanding the Street Sweeping Program, we will submit a list of areas for Council or Committee review. The list will include the cost and needs to implement the program within a designated area. As in our initial program, public awareness is our foremost concern. We would start by mailing letters directly to residents. There will be a seIf- addressed card on which residents can vote in favor or oppose posted street sweeping in their neighborhood. n --- (i " ~ . July 1, 1994 Raul Rojas, Public Works Director City Council Referral Record #13515 STREET SWEEPING PROGRAM (Smith) Page 2 Two important issues will be made clear to residents: 1) There will be strict enforcement of the posted street sweeping policy by the Police Department, and; 2) at least 90% of the residents must support the program. Also, the residents will be informed about the sweeping schedule. This phase of the program will be the last step implemented. Review of items 1. and 2. will be completed within two weeks. We already have a list of areas that would benefit from a posted street sweeping program. However, we will keep you informed as to our progress.

The first debriefing was held with Economic Development staff -- Donna Barnes, Andre Devereaux, J. Edwin Hafstrom, Debbie Thomas, Charles Webb, and myself -- shortly after the event. The second debriefing was held the week following the event with the Permit Workshop's steering committee -- Steve McCalley, County Environmental Health Services Director; David Price III, County Airports Director; Mike Buss, San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District; Jim Eggert, City Planning; and myself. Greg Whitney, Kern Economic Development Corporation, was unavailable. From both of these debriefings came the following observations: There was a drop off in attendance from the seminar portion to the trade show Presentations were great Some attendees were professional attendees Too many booths for the number of people attending Provide earlier notice of the event to supporters Go to Sonoma County to see what they do Should presenters discuss the nuts & bolts or what their departments do?

In addition to these comments from those closest to the event, comments from those attending have been compiled from the evaluation forms returned. Regarding comments about the presenters, 30% of the respondents thought the presenters knew their topics well and that the information was informative. The presenters were judged "good" by 18%, while 8% thought the program could have been presented better. The audience indicated by 8% that they thought the presenters should impart their support of good customer service and positive attitude to their respective staffs. There were five groupings of 6% which said. . . . the presenters blamed other agencies . it was good to see in-person representatives . presenters were willing to help . should have used more time .wanted questions answered between each presenter's session. Two groupings of 3% each wanted more specific examples and more depth. Regarding comments about possible future sessions, 20% of the audience wanted more, or different handouts. 16% suggested bringing state and federal agencies into the program. Another 12% wanted to know what permits cost. The next four categories received responses of 8%: . a need for individual agency sessions . a need for more detailed information + speakers need more time, or the program should be longer +want coffee ¡ . ;.c,,-.'" ~ 11 , I I, Jake Wager July 7, 1994 Page 4 An other responses in this section received 4% response for each category. These included. . . . would like to now what needs a permit . target the intended audience . wanted a summary from each speaker . a need for presenters' phone numbers on their introduction slide . a need for a "Directory of Permits." The third section of the evaluation asked how the audience heard about the Permit Workshop. Their responses: + received a mailing (43%) . read about it in the newspaper (18%) . saw brochure in local permitting agencies (15 %) . heard about it through local permitting agencies (12%) .word of mouth (3%) +magazine (3%) +phone (3%) Presenters were also evaluated.

I MEMORANDUM I July 7, 1994 TO: George Gonzales, Community Development Coordinator FROM: Tracie King, VISTA Volunteer ~ I I SUBJECT: Status Report for the 1994 Good Neighbor Festival Because of groundwork laid in 1992-1993 the Festival is coming together in a much stronger fashion. We have analyzed our weaknesses and have made great strides in correcting them for example: Stronger programs for children; tying the various venues together with a sound system; and broadening the ethnic representation in both booth representation and entertainment. Last year we estimate that we had over 5,000 people in attendance. This year we are anticipating 8,000 visitors! This year's group of volunteers are working hard on the Lakeview Community Good Neighbor Festival (see attached). The Lakeview Community Good Neighbor Festival is October 8, 1994, from 10:00 to 4 pm. The estimated budget this year is $9,000. Last year's ending balance was 1,714.58. To date $6,059.63 is the balance so far. Listed below are the Festival's sponsors: Kaiser Permanente, Texaco, San Joaquin Bank, Shell Western E & P, Inc., Atlanta Richfield Company, Nestle Dairies, Bank of Stockdale and the City of Bakersfield. v- Im:FEST94/ST A TUS -..., ~' .ô> ~ '-",.."" ... -~ .. f;' -~ LAKEVIEW COMMUNITY GOOD NEIGHBOR FESTIVAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS Linda S.
