A response to the Council Referral relative to access to the new park along the Kern River is enclosed. This is a product of an expression of concern by the Kern Ri ver Parkway group. Please 1 et me know if you want thi s subject referred back to Council, or to Committee. 2. There is a response to an inquiry about Work Release Program participants enclosed. Basically, the number of Work Release Program people we have been assigned has been reduced and shows no sign of increasing in the near future. I 3. A copy of an Administrative Report is enclosed describing the sequence of I actions which would have to take place in the event there is no opposition to an incumbent Councilmember in any given ward. This would be to avoid the election costs by appointing, due to the 1 ack of compet it ion. Of course, the status of whether or not there is competition in all wards is subject to daily change up to August 12th at ~:OO p.m. A copy of the status report on the filing of Councilmembers, as of August 12th, at noon, is enclosed for your information. 4. We are finally making progress on replacement of the computer. We have now fi e 1 d checked hardware and software systems and have received positive references. We are in the process of putting together purchase, acquisition and conversion plans. 5. There is a memo enclosed on a IILight the Nightll program being done on Pacific Street. It seems like a very creative concept. 6. A meeting between the Vice Mayor and a couple of County Supervisors, this week, seems to have led to some progress in some of our relationships. It appears that, in several areas, we have been facing a situation where the County staff was much more difficult to deal with than their overseers. We wi 11 try to move forward and wi 11 know more, with respect to how significant the progress might be, within the next couple of weeks. 7. In correcting an item in last weekls memo to you, I will be here on Monday, August 15th - I am not taking that day off after all. ----- - - ---- 7'"',,-~-~ HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL August 12, 1994 Page -2- 8.

Enclosed is a letter indicating that the County did transfer over to us, in a cooperative manner, some funds accrued for park development, in an amount of over $8,800. 10. I did get Councilmember protest over the issue of the development related speed bumps promi sed by the Ca 1 Oak deve 1 oper. I wi 11 place it on a Council agenda for resolution, in the future, by the full Council. 11. An article appeared in Fridayls Bakersfield Californian regarding the Kern River Bike Path.

AT.alb Enclosures cc: Department Heads City Clerk - - 0----.--- .T ~ . - B A K E R 5 F I E L 0 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORAND~ TO: Alan Tandy, City Manage< i ( FROM: Raul M. Rojas, Public Wo,k, Dkectm ~ r----- DATE: August 5, 1994 SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL RECORD NO. 13519 Kern River Parkway At the request of Councilman Rowles, staff has prepared this report on the status of the Kern River Parkway, especially regarding the comments made by Rich O'Neil at the City Council meeting of June 15, 1994. According to the transcript of Mr. O'Neil's comments, his main concerns are as follows (a copy of this transcript is attached to this report): 1. The Group Picnic Area should be a reservation only park with lockable gates 2. Pave and utilize 10 parking spaces outside the levee I 3. Do not relocate the bike path to the river side of the Group Picnic Area I 4. Dedicate the existing jogging trail on the river side of the Group Picnic Area The staff of the Parks Division of the Community Services Department, the Public Works Department and the Water and Sanitation have reviewed and researched Mr. O'Neil's comments and have some preliminary recommendations. Reservation Only Park Chapter 3 (Project Description) of the Kern River Parkway Draft Environmental Impact Report states that "Providing public access and parking areas is a major goal of the Parkway Plan. Public access to the Parkway for allowed uses would be unrestricted between Manor Street and Coffee Road." This statement indicates that a locked, reservations only park is not allowed in this reach of the Kern River Parkway Area. Staff has been unable to find any reference in the Final EIR which would indicate that a locked park was intended for this area. There is a reference to a Police Pistol Range in this area in the Draft EIR. A Pistol Range would, for obvious reasons, be a locked facility. However, the Final EIR eliminated the Police Pistol Range from the parkway Plan. Staff recommends that the Group Picnic Area remain an open facility. Parking Lot Outside of Levee As a condition of the sale of surplus property (the old mixing yard) authorized by the City Council at the September 28, 1988 meeting, the buyer deeded back to the City "sufficient property to accommodate no less than twenty-three (23) standard parking spaces and drive aisles accessible from the [ access easement for City ----- ------- ------------ --- --- , ,. I owned recreational areas). This parking is for City owned recreational areas." This was Item 18K of the Purchase Contract and Receipt for Deposit for this transaction. According to the Planning Department, this condition of sale was imposed because at that time, the final configuration of the recreational area had not been determined. The Group Picnic Area has been constructed with a 86 space parking lot with provision to expand it to 144 spaces. Since the Group Picnic Area contains sufficient on-site parking, an exterior parking lot is not necessary for the full utilization of the park at this time, but may be needed for overflow parking in the future. The site deeded for the parking lot is undeveloped now. Should the Council desire, Public Works can budget funds for the development of this parking lot after the on site lot is fully developed. Staff recommends that no action be taken on the exterior parking lot. Bike Path Location The Council has expressed concern to staff regarding potential conflicts between cyclists using the bike path in its current configuration and cars using the driveway entrance to the parking lot for the Group Picnic Area. At a meeting held on July 8, 1994, several alternatives were proposed by staff: 1. Construct a bike bridge over the vehicular access 2. Relocate the bike path to the northerly boundary of the park adjacent to the running trail 3. Construct a box culvert for the cyclists to cross under the driveway access. Public Works staff reviewed alternatives 2 and 3 as well as the No Project alternative (no change to the existing condition). The Traffic Division assessed these three options for traffic safety (see the attached memo dated August 3, 1994) and found the box culvert alternative as the safest from a traffic standpoint, since it eliminates all conflicts. From a cost standpoint, however, this is the most expensive alternative at approximately $350,000.00 (please see the attached memo dated July 21, 1994). There are not sufficient funds available for this alternative. This alternative will also require additional approvals from the Greater Bakersfield Levee District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Another concern with this alternative is security for the cyclists in the box culvert. The "No Project" alternative - leaving the bike path and driveway as-is - was the second most desirable from a traffic standpoint since it allows fewer conflicts with cyclists. This is the least expensive alternative. The relocation of the bike path is the least desirable option from a traffic standpoint since it will allow the greatest number of conflicts between cyclists and casual users of the park. This alternative would cost approximately $60,000.00. Staff recommends that the City investigate the possibility of obtaining grant funds for the construction of a box culvert at the Group Picnic Area and that the existing bike path configuration remain until such time as sufficient funds are available to construct the culvert project. Dedication of Jogging Trail The jogging trail is shown as an element of the Group Picnic Area and will be preserved. Staff recommends no additional action. Other Concerns The Group Picnic Area was conceived as a multi-stage construction project. The contracts for sewer installation, entrance road and parking lot were completed July 8, 1993; the restroom/storage building and , ' I security lighting were completed July 8, 1994. The landscape irrigation system will be completed later this year. The remaining portions of the project - installation of concrete flatwork, landscaping, play equipment and benches will be completed in the summer of 1995. The Group Picnic Area is not open to the public at this time. However, there are undesirable elements using the area now because of the easy accessibility and relative seclusion of the park. This type of use will disappear when the park is open to the public, but is a possibly dangerous nuisance in the meantime. Staff therefor recommends that a temporary construction fence be erected to limit access to the Group Picnic Area. This fence would remain in place until the park is ready to be opened to the public, sometime in the late summer of 1995. This fence would reduce the use of the area by undesirable elements and would help to limit the City's liability with regard to an open construction site. , ¡ .

PUBUC STATEMENTS O'NEIL: Good evening, Mr. Mayor, and City Council and the staff. My name is Rich O'Neil, reside at 6600 Desmond Court, and tonight I speak on behalf of the Kern River Parkway Committee. The Kern River Parkway Committee requests that the City Council take the following action. We would like the Council to direct the staff: No.1 - To designate the Kern River Parkway Group picnic Area, now under construction at Empire Drive/99, designate it as a Group Reservation Picnic Area and control automobile access across the Bikepath into the secondary floodplain. By lockable gates, lateral to the levee, and of the bikepath. This was the original plan of this park as part of the Parkway EIR and as part of the original granting application for construction of this park. A reservation picnic area, much like Stramler Park, okay? No. 2 - We request that the City pave and utïlize the ten parking spaces that are dedicated landward of the levee at this park site along Empire Drive. These parking spaces are outside of the gate control area. No. 3 - We ask that the City Council have Public Works stop their plans to move the bikepath at this point. This issue was resolved twice before by previous City Managers and Public Works Directors. The City is creating a public safety problem. Please do not move the Bikepath. It is cheaper to have gates to control automobile access as originally planned. No.4 - To include in the dedication of this group preservation, excuse me, Reservation Picnic Area, the dedication of the jogging trail, Beach Park to Truxtun Lakes, this trail serves to outline and to highlight the Parkway. It reduces traffic on the Bikepath and has historically served as a BHS cross country running course. The safety issue can be mitigated quickly and cheaply by installing gates at the park entrance and by providing days parking spaces that should have already been completed. Rerouting the Bikepath is unneeded and very expensive. Won't this require a change in the park design further adding cost and delay? We ask that the Council look into-- - . ,- i: , < ( ( .

I Æ . - B A K E R 5 F I E L 0 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: August 3, 1994 TO: MARIAN SHAW, CML ENGINEER III FROM: BRAD B. UNDERWOOD, CML ENGINEER III ß\3~ SUBJECT: BIKE PATH AT THE KERN RIVER PARKWAY PICNIC AREA The following is an assessment, from a traffic safety view, of the alternatives for the existing bike path/entrance road intersection: Option 1 - Providing a tunnel beneath the entrance road for the bike path. Obviously the most desireable because all possible traffic conflicts are alleviated. However, other safety issues may need to be taken into consideration. Option 2 - Leaving the condition as it currently exists, with the bike path intersecting the entrance road, controlled by stop signs on the entrance road. While this option gives opportunity for conflicts, they are controllable with the use of stop signs. We have not had any reported incidents of accidents at this location, it seems to be operating as designed. Option 3 - Relocating the bike path to the north side of the park adjacent to the river. This option creates conflicts between bicyclists and pedestrians utilizing the park. This may create incidents greater in number than conflicts at the entrance road, due the path creating a barrier between the park and the river and also be relocated close to the playground area where children are present. Conflicts in this condition would not be controllable, creating potentially higher risk. c: \ data \ wp \ trafmemo \krprkbkp.mem ---- ~~ " .. -" ;¡ .." " Æ I . , - B A K E R 5 F I E L D PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Fabbri, Park Superintendent FROM: Jacques LaRochelle, Civil Engineer IV DATE: July 21, 1994 SUBJECT: Kern River Parkway Group Picnic Area Bike Path Grade Separation and Parking Lot Over the past several weeks, several meetings have been held about a possible conflict between bicylists on the bike path and cars entering the parking lot within the Kern River Parkway. As a result of these meetings, our department has been requested to prepare a rough cost estimate for some modifications to the Kern River Parkway Group Picnic Area. The modifications requested include a box culvert (approx. 12' high by 12' wid~) for cyclists to pass under the parking lot approach drive, a parking lot outside the levee (which marks the outside of the Kern River Parkway Group Picnic Area) and handicapped access between the proposed parking lot and the park over the levee. The improvements required to put in a bikeway box culvert include parallel retaining walls on both sides of the bike path for a distance of approximately 170 feet on each side of the roadway, excavation and backfill for the depressed bike path and box culvert, relocation of electrical and telephone conduits, safety lighting, and the installation of a pump system. The approximate cost to construct this type of improvement would be between $330,000.00 and $375,000.00. The improvements required to put in an additional 23 space parking lot and an ADA-acceptable access from the parking lot to the park includes earthwork, paving, striping and signing, lighting, landscaping, and drainage improvements. The approximate cost to construct this improvement is between $60,000.00 and $70,000.00. The total cost of these improvements is between $390,000.00 and $445,000.00. Please see the attachments for rough sketches of the proposed improvements. A further complication for this project is that .!illY modification to the levee must be approved by the Greater Bakersfield Levee District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

MEMORANDUM August 8, 1994 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~ FROM: Gene Bogart, Water and Sanitation Manager SUBJECT: WORK RELEASE PROGRAM , This memo is in response to your inquiry regarding the current status of the City's Work Release Program with the Kern County Sheriffs Department. Prior to the Work Release Program, the prisoner "trustee" program was used by the City for several years prior to 1988. This program was not very successful in that the trustees had to be closely supervised and a large amount of staff time was necessary to administer the program (runaways, equipment misuse, etc.). In December of 1987, the City Council approved an Agreement with the County of Kern for participation in the "Work Release" program, which has been a successful program until recently. With the exceptions of the Wastewater Division, all other City departments that use work release "minor offenders" (workers) have experienced a major decrease in the availability of workers over the last 6 to 8 months. I discussed the recent reduction in work release personnel with Officer Carter of the Kern Sheriffs Office. He explained the reduction over the last year was due in part to the additional demand for workers by county departments, but was primarily due to the "Federal Cap Kick" that requires early release due to overcrowding of bed space at the Lerdo facility. What this means is that some of the non-violent offenders are being reduced down to serve as little as one-third of the original sentence. Most of the work release personnel fall into this category, and many of them are choosing to serve a shorter sentence in custody rather than stay in the work release program full term. Based on the latest information available to the Sheriffs Department, it does not appear that the conditions causing the reduction in work force will be changing in the foreseeable future. For your reference, please find a copy of the City-wide work release survey that was performed in July. The survey outlines those departments and divisions who have participated in the program and the types~of tasks that were performed. Included also is a copy of the most recent Work Release Agreement with Kern County, which is a three year agreement that runs from January 1, 1994 to December 31, 1996.

The purpose of this meeting was to introduce a new program, "Light the Night" This program has been designed to provide outdoor security lighting, at little or no cost, to low and moderate income persons in the Looking Good Neighborhood revitalization area. "Light the Night" is an extension of the Looking Good Neighborhood Revitalization Program funded through CDBG. This program allows for the purchase of two lighting fixtures; one for the front and one for the back of each residence. Before residents can purchase lights, they must complete and return an application to EDCD. Residents will then be given written notification when their rebate application has been approved. A rebate of up to $50 per light, not to exceed two lights, will be given to each resident who purchases and installs outdoor lighting fixtures on their home. Residents must be able to install their own security lights or arrange for the installation by a qualified technician. To receive the rebate, by December 31, 1994, a proof of purchase must be provided to EDCD, and inspection must be conducted to verify proper installation.

City Manager August 9,1994 Ms. Sherry Dillard, Director Bakersfield Museum of Art 1930 "R" Street Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Sherry: As a result of our meeting on July 19, I have asked City staff to follow up on a number of issues relating to the Museum. Although I believe you have been in contact with Trudy Slater of my office, I thought you might like to be updated as to steps taken to date. The watering of the Gardens can be electronically set to run beginning at 4:00 p.m. on scheduled days. It will water in sections as the system is unable to maintain enough pressure to water the entire area at once. Frank Fabbri, our Parks Superintendent, will be contacting you regarding the watering schedule for the Gardens and other concerns. There will be an added cost to the City when the watering of the Park and the Gardens are separated. ¡ Trudy Slater has discussed with you the problems which may occur if the restroom in the park is closed. It is my understanding that you no longer feel that closing the restroom would benefit the Museum. Larry Jamison, our General Services Superintendent, has reviewed existing lighting at the parking lot and has indicated that an additional arm can be added to an existing pole light, thereby creating additional lighting in the general area of the handicapped parking zone in front of and slightly to the east of the Museum's front gate. I have forwarded to our City Attorney a request for legal clarification on dedication issues regarding the Museum's building and. grounds, including issues on the land and the building as well as donations made to "the Cunningham" gallery and the Camellia Gardens. Also being researched is the issue of feeding of the homeless in the park. As Trudy mentioned to you, it would be helpful--when you or your staff see this occurring--if you would find out which organizations are sponsoring the distribution of the food. The sponsoring organizations may not be aware of the negative impact you feel it is having on your organization. Please feel free to contact Tru or me should you have any questions.
