City Manager August 17, 1994 Mr. Joe Drew County Administrative Officer County of Kern 1115 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Mr. Drew: I have received your letter dated August 8, 1994, concerning the acquisition of a site for a future fire station by the City of Bakersfield. Your office has called and a meeting has been set for Wednesday, August 31st, regarding this subject. While I am perfectly willing to meet with you~ the following facts surrounding this may be the partial or full response to your concerns. 1. The site in question was acquired by the City on April 28, 1993. It is actually at Buena Vista Road, adjacent to our current Water Department Administration Building, near Stockdale Highway. We have no monies allocated to build a fire station and we have no monies to operate and maintain another fire station. Our goal in the acquisition was to preserve a site so that, as the area developed, we would not encounter a situation where there was no longer any land available. With the annexation of the Buena Vista #5 area, this is well within existing City boundaries. We are aware, under the JPA document currently in effect, as well as the one proposed, that prior to construction or relocation of a station to that site, it requires the approval of the City and County. While I had been under the belief that then Fire Chief Johnson had made County officials aware of this, he is no longer with us and I cannot be positive that was done. Nonetheless, we do recognize that prior to construction of a station, approval would have to be obtained from Kern County. 2. Should the site prove not to be the proper location, we could add it to our water facilities site and/or decide to sell it at some point in the future. City of Bakersfield. City Manager's Office. 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield. California. 93301 t'i': -. ~ '; Mr. Joe Drew County of Kern August 17, 1994 Page -2- 3. As you may know, for many years, the City has owned another site in the northeast part of the City which is planned as a long-term fire station location. This has been in the ownership of the City for many years and I, quite frankly, do not know whether either has been cleared through the County relative to the JPA requirements. Similarly, I do not know if the County owns any such sites. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. &;7: Alan Tandy City Manager I AT.alb ~, 'i) _c-,~ -""'1 I I '- JOSEPH E.

Needless to say, this information, if factual, is somewhat of a surprise inasmuch as the Fire Services Joint Powers Agreement currently in effect provides as follows: "(5) After this Agreement has been signed by the parties hereto all plans for the location and I or construction of any new fire stations or for the relocation of any existing fire station within the metropolitan area of Bakersfield shall be approved by both City and County."

Staff is currently completing plans and specifications for the roadway and two bridges and right of way is being acquired. We expect and hope to advertise the project in early Fall, 1994. Our roadway should be open to traffic in late 1995. Completion of the City project will obviously provide another direct route from the Rosedale-Northwest area to the Southwest area of Bakersfield. When it's built, the traffic will come. This is sure to create capacity and other problems for Kern County north of Brimhall Road. I urge you to take steps necessary to initiate an improvement project on the County portion of Calloway Drive. City of Bakersfield. City Manager's Office. 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield.

INTRODUCTION WZllnc. (WZI) has conducted a Phase I/Phase II environmental site assessment for Bear Mountain Umited on an approximate 10.67 acre parcel within the approximate eighty (80) acre parcel which constitutes the Oxy USA Zimmer-McGregor Fee property located in the northern half of the southwest corner of Section 12, Township 29 South, Range 28 East, M.D. B. & M., Kern County, California (Exhibits 1 and 2). The eighty acre parcel is identified by Kern County Assessor's Block and Lot Number 436-0620-11. The purpose of this study was to identify obvious potential environmental related liabilities that may be evident on or immediat!3ly adjacent to the Project Construction Boundary and the Construction Laydown Area (Exhibit 3). The Phase I Site Assessment addressed surface features observed during field investigation, an aerial photograph review, and an analysis of the environmental records search. The Phase II investigation focused on the Project Construction Boundary with only a' cursory investigation of the Construction Laydown Area. An electromagnetic survey and exploratory trenches were used to investigate potential subsurface environmental related liabilities in the Project Construction Boundary within the limits of the tools, techniques, and time constraints involved. An analysis of geologic hazards and ground water sampling were beyond the scope of this investigation. A full regulatory audit of all permits and practices regarding the property and conditions regarding the adjacent properties was not conducted and was beyond the scope of the project. This report is prepared for the sole use and benefit of Bear Mountain Umited and is based, in part, upon documents, writings, and information owned and possessed by Bear Mountain Umited. Neither this report, nor any of the information contained herein shall be used or relied upon for any purpose by any person or entity other than Bear Mountain Limited. In this examination, WZI has assumed the legal capacity of all legal persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to WZI as originals, the conforming to original documents of all documents submitted to WZI as 16010070.071 Page 1 '1'. WZI iNC certified, photostatic copies, or telecopies, and the authenticity of all the originals. In examination of documents, WZI has assumed that all parties had the power, governmental or otherwise, to enter into and perform all obligations under such documents, has further assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, governmental or otherwise, of the execution and delivery by all parties of such documents, and have further assumed the validity and binding effect of such documents against all parties in accordance with the terms thereof. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified by WZI, oral or written statements and representations of Bear Mountain Limited and its officers, agents or representatives were relied upon. Unless otherwise stated, WZI has not made independent investigation or inquiry into the accuracy or completeness of the documents and information supplied to them by any governmental agency or information supplied to them at the request of Bear Mountain Limited.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Based on the Phase I/Phase II investigation of the Project Construction Boundary and the Construction Laydown Area identified by Bear Mountain Umited, the following conclusions are set forth. . Low level hydrocarbon contamination is present in the eastern portion of the area identified as the Project Construction Boundary. . Trenching of geophysical anomalies identified some buried metal objects and buried pipelines. . Potential sources of ground water contamination include naturally occurring crude oil, China Grade Landfill, and surrounding oil field activity such as sumps and tanks containing crude oil and produced water. Ground water sampling was outside the scope of this project. . Depth to ground water is approximately 500 feet below ground surface. . Naturally occurring crude oil is present in the Kern River Formation, the ground water aquifer in this area. . Surficial trash is abundant. . According to California Division of Oil and Gas records, the Oxy USA Zimmer-McGregor Fee Well No.6, located in the Construction Laydown Area, was abandoned properly in October, 1992. . Typical oil field activity is present on the surrounding properties. 16010070.071 Page 3 1, .' WZIINC III. PHASE I SITE ASSESSMENT Site Ownership and Location The approximate 10.67 acre site, consisting of the Project Construction Boundary and the Construction Laydown Area, is located within parcel 436-0620-11, an approximate eighty (80) acre parcel (Exhibit 2). The mineral rights are owned by Oxy USA and Bear Mountain Umited owns the surface rights as of December 17, 1993. Regionally, the site is located in the northeast area of the City of Bakersfield within the Kern Bluff Oil Field and is directly south of the inactive Kern County sanitary landfill referred to as China Grade Landfill. Peter Zimmer obtained the surface and mineral ownership of the parcel in a patent from the United States of America recorded July 6, 1914. The property was deeded to Robert MacGregor from Peter and Margaret Zimmer on July 19, 1926. Shell Oil Company of California obtained the property March 29, 1930. A deed was recorded November 5, 1975 transferring the property from Shell Oil Company to Crestmont Oil and Gas which was later acquired by Oxy USA. A name change from Cities Service to Oxy USA was recorded April 24, 1988. §lliL!jjstorv / Aer@LPhotoqraptLBeview A search of title records, California Division of Oil and Gas (CDOG) records, and review of historical aerial photographs were utilized to establish the historical use of the property. Aerial photographs from August 1937, July 1957, May 1975, May 1981, and June 1989 were utilized to determine historical site usage of the eighty (80) acre parcel. Aerial photographs for the time period between 1957 and 1975 are not available. The aerial photographs which were inspected spanned a time period before, during, and after oil field operations were initiated and abandoned on the property. 1937 The property is undeveloped except for: 16010070.071 Page 4 - ---- ~ WZII N C 8 One north-south unpaved road which goes through the middle of the property. 8 Power lines and associated roads at the east edge of the property. 1957 Oil field development is present: 8 Four oil wells are present to the south and east of the Construction Laydown Area and one oil well is located in the northern half of the Construction Laydown Area. 8 Typical surface improvements associated with an operating oil field are present south and east of the Project Construction Boundary and the Construction Laydown Area. 8 The north-south road through the middle of the property is no longer visible. 8 Roads servicing power lines in the 1937 photo are no longer visible. One road, located east of the previous roads, services the power lines. 8 A new road (northwest-southeast trending) from the middle north edge of the property is visible 1975 Oil field development: 8 The five oil wells present in the 1957 photograph are still visible. 8 Typical oil field improvements remain visible. 8 Roads are in similar locations. 8 The northwest corner of the Project Construction Boundary shows disturbances due to a suspected gravel quarry. 8 Various surface disturbances to the south of the Project Construction Boundary appear to be 16010070.071 Page 5 ------------ ------------------_--____m----- -- ¡ motorcycle trails and areas where soil was disturbed.

Oil field surface activities show little change since 1975. ,,",' 1989 No significant changes in appearance. Current Site Description The approximate 1 0.67 acre parcel was inspected November 13 and 15, 1993. The area identified as the Project Construction Boundary on Exhibit 3 was inspected in detail for indications of surface contamination. The northwest portion of the parcel had been excavated at one time. It is speculated the area was a gravel quarry. Portions of this . area are covered with a layer of gravel. Surficial trash is abundant on the Project Construction Boundary including scrap metal, cans, plastic, mattresses, sofas, carpet, refrigerators, household trash, scattered paper debris, broken concrete, and tree trimmings. Non-native grassland covers most of the site, except the area in the northwest corner which has been excavated. The property slopes to the northeast from the southwest corner to in the northeast corner as shown on Exhibit 3. A surface map of the Project Construction Boundary delineating the areas which have been previously disturbed by sand and gravel mining and oilfield activity is shown in Exhibit 4. Areas within these activity boundaries have been previously excavated for roads, pipelines, water disposal holding areas, sand and gravel removal, etc. I Reaulatorv Compliance 16010070.071 Page 6 " WZI \ N C Environmental Data Resources, Inc. conducted a computerized search to identify sites with potential or existing environmental liabilities within one mile of the site. The report is included in Appendix I. Federal and state data bases are researched. Within a one mile radius of the site, no sites of concern were identified in the search. China Grade Landfill operated by Kern County is located approximately 500 feet north of the Project Construction Boundary. The landfill is inactive and Kern County Waste Management is in the process of developing a closure plan. According to Kern County Waste Management Department, closure may begin by 1996. An abandoned oil well, Zimmer-McGregor Fee No.6, is located east of the Project Construction Boundary in the Construction Laydown Area. The California Division of Oil and Gas (CDOG) records were reviewed to determine if the abandonment is in accordance with regulatory requirements. The oil well Zimmer-McGregor Fee No.6 was abandoned on September 29, 1992. The abandonment was apparently done in accordance with CDOG regulations because the CDOG approved the abandonment on November 4, 1992 with the comment "...we have determined that all of the requirements of this Division have been fulfilled.1I One of the CDOG requirements is that all casings must be removed from at least 5 feet below ground level and a plate welded on top. The abandonment history dated October 19, 1992 does not make mention of cutting and removing the casing or welding a plate, but in view of the CDOG approval referred to above, it is reasonable to assume that this was performed but not documented. The only way to be certain is to excavate the area to view the casing below ground surface. No evidence of the well is apparent on the surface at this time. All other requirements for abandonment were documented and reported in the abandonment history. 16010070.071 Page 7 '" . WZIINC Geo!oqv /tlvdro!oqv Undifferentiated Kern River and Chanac geologic units outcrop at the surface of the proposed site. Plio-Pleistocene in age, the Kern River and Chanac consist primarily of continental deposits of unconsolidated gravels,. sands and clays (Corwin, 1950). The property is located within the Kern Bluff Oil Field. The structure of the Kern Bluff field is a faulted homo cline dipping about six degrees southwesterly. Oil is trapped updip by a network of normal faults and is produced from the Transition Zone and Santa Margarita Formation at an average depth of 1000 feet below ground surface. The produced oil is considered IIheavy oilll at 14 API gravity. Ground water occurs in unconfined, semiconfined, and confined aquifers beneath the property in the Kern River Formation. Extrapolation of Kern County Water Agency (1992) data of the unconfined ground water elevations indicate the ground water elevation at the site is approximately 350 feet above sea level (Exhibit 5). This is consistent with measurements in monitoring wells at China Grade Landfill approximately 500 feet northwest of the site (Kaman, 1989). The ground water gradient at the landfill is to the southwest (Exhibit 6). Surface elevations at the site average 850 feet above sea level, therefore the depth to ground water is about 500 feet below the surface. Depth to ground water in this region may fluctuate over time with varying precipitation and ground water withdrawal. Ground water quality is approximately 500 parts per million total dissolved solids according to Kern County Water Agency data (1992) as shown on the map of water quality (Exhibit 7). The Solid Waste Assessment Test (SWAT) reported crude oil was recovered from a monitoring well (CG2-01) located in the southwest corner of China Grade Landfill (Kaman, 1989). The monitoring well is completed in the Kern River Formation at depths of 505 to 521 feet. The recovered crude oil may be naturally occurring. Oil is produced from the same zone in the adjacent Kern River Oil Field and oil stained sands were reported in well histories of the wells drilled in the Kern Bluff Oil Field. Oil stained sand was reported in the CDOG oil well drilling history of the Vedder- 16010070.071 Page 8 " ., WZII N C Parkford US Lease #22 at a depth of 470 feet, equivalent to the Kern River Formation. This well is located approximately 500 feet east of the Zimmer-McGregor Fee in Section 12, T.29S, R.28E. Ground water monitoring wells located within China Grade Landfill were sampled and tested for aromatic volatile organic compounds, halogenated volatile organics, industrial solvents, orgonochlorine pesticides, polychlorinate biphenyls, total organic carbon, and metals. With the exception of total organic carbon and metals, the constituents tested were not detected. Total organic carbon was detected in low concentrations. The following metals were detected in the monitoring wells and in the background monitoring well above the Maximum Contaminant Level specified for drinking water: cadmium, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, selenium, and silver. Soil samples from depths of 50 to 130 feet in different landfill locations had concentrations of toluene of 19 to 51 pg/kg (parts per billion). Halogenated volatile organics were not detected. Potential sources of ground water contamination, other than the landfill and naturally occurring crude oil, include upgradient oil field operations. ( IV. PHASE II SITE ASSESSMENT A Phase II site assessment of the area designated as the Project Construction Boundary (Exhibit 3) was conducted November 10 through November 17, 1993. At the request of Bear Mountain Umited, the subsurface investigation was concentrated within the Project Construction Boundary shown on Exhibit 3. An electromagnetic (EM) survey was conducted to identify possible buried metal-containing material such as drums and pipelines. The potential for buried material was a concern due to the proximity to China Grade Landfill, evidence of previous excavation activity, proximity to oil field activity and the abundance of surficial trash. An exploratory trenching program was developed based on EM anomalies, historical aerial photograph review, and a surface site inspection. 16010070.071 Page 9 . ¡ WZII N C Electromaqnetic Survey WZI conducted a ground electromagnetic (EM) survey of the Project Construction Boundary area during November 10-13, 1993. The purpose of the survey was to determine the presence and location of any buried metallic or conductive objects that may be present in the shallow subsurface. A 10 x 10 foot grid of stations were laid out using field survey tapes and a theodolite and electronic distance measurement instrument. Values for this coordinate system increase northward and eastward. Select points on the ground were identified with fluorescent spray paint and/or survey monuments. Ground conductivity was measured on the 10 foot grid with a Geonics Ltd. EM-31 DL ground conductivity instrument. This instrument induces an electromagnetic current into the ground which interacts with objects buried approximately 10 to 12 feet, such as underground fuel storage tanks. The data were recorded in the field using an Omnidata Polycorder which is an electronic notebook. ,¡¡ The conductivity phase is used to identify underground metallic objects as it is more sensitive than the inphase component. These data were gridded and contoured using Golden Software's Surfer program and plotted at a scale of 1 inch equals 50 feet. Contour values represent ground conductivity (mho) units contoured at 0.5 mho units. Exhibit 8 depicts the identified electromagnetic anomalies of significance. These anomalies may represent buried objects of interest. Fourteen electromagnetic anomalies were identified during the survey. Seven anomalies could be directly correlated with surficial trash or metallic objects and therefore these anomalies were not investigated. Anomalies not clearly associated with surface trash or metallic objects were investigated by exploratory trenching. Numerous other anomalies were mapped but not considered significant. These anomalies are generally of low-amplitude and do not appear to represent significant buried objects or were associated with known surface metallic or ferrous objects. 16010070.071 Page 10 . .' WZI iNC Although the objects sought are buried metallic objects and usually detectable with the type and configuration of the survey provided, the results of the survey are interpretative and should be regarded as such. The data collected and instruments used were operated within the normal conditions commonly accepted by the geophysical industry. Exploratorv Trenches Bear Mountain Umited requested investigation of the EM anomalies shown on Exhibit 8 that were not related to surface trash or metal objects. Prior to direct investigation Underground Service Alert was contacted. Excavation was conducted November 13 and 17, 1993. Eighteen exploratory trenches investigated the shallow subsurface within the Project Construction Boundary from depths ranging from 3 to 20 feet deep. The locations and numbers of the trenches are depicted on Exhibit 9. Individual trench logs are depicted in Appendix II. A summary of results from each of the trenches is tabulated in Table 1. An FMC excavator with a four yard bucket was utilized to dig exploratory trenches to a depth of 20 feet. In addition, a John Deer backhoe was utilized to help backfill the excavated trenches. The trenches were logged by WZI geologists using standard exploratory trenching mapping procedures using 1 0 square grid field paper. No personnel entered the trenches to map them. All observations were made from the edge of the excavations. The exploratory trenches were placed to investigate electromagnetic anomalies from the geophysical survey, topographic lows that could be related to possible former sumps, and areas of recent excavation that may have been landfill activity. Trenches 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 18 were placed to investigate topographic low features on the property. These topographic lows were believed to be potential former sump areas where disposal of produced water may have occurred. Analytical results in trenches 1, 2 and 6 indicate the presence of oil and grease, total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel, and toluene in levels that are above background levels. None of these values exceed California Leaking 16010070.071 Page 11 n~----~__- - -- ~~ ----- ---- .;, . WZIINC Underground Fuel Tank (LUFT) Manual guidelines for action levels. However, it is most likely that there is wide spread occurrence of low grade hydrocarbon contamination present on the eastern portion of the Project Construction Boundary. Trenches 3, 12, 13, 14,15, and 16 all investigated EM anomalies mapped by the geophysical survey. None of these excavated anomalies were identified as having significant environmental concern. All causative bodies were related to surface, subsurface metallic trash and/or lithology. Trenches 9, 10, 11 and 17 investigated areas of surficial ground disturbance. There was a concern that previous sand and gravel quarrying activities left areas where trash may have been dumped and backfilled. None of these trenches encountered trash that posed an environmental concern. Soil Sample Analysis Soil samples were analyzed from three trenches, numbered 1, 2 and 6. Grab samples were obtained from the upper brown silty sand layer described in the trench logs (Appendix II). The soil samples selected for analysis were collected from trenches located in an area of suspected produced water sumps, although the soil samples did not appear to be stained or have an odor. Samples were analyzed for the following: Constituents Methodoloqy Benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, EPA Method 8020 total xylene Total petroleum hydrocarbons-diesel Modified EPA Method 8015 Oil and grease EPA Method 413.1 16010070.071 Page 12 cZ '0' WZI ¡ N C The analyses were selected to determine if fractions of crude oil were present in the soil as a result of surface activities. Aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylene were not expected in high concentration due to the low gravity crude oil produced from this oil field. The total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel method detects hydrocarbons with carbon numbers C11 to C28. The oil and grease method detects organic components heavier than the diesel range of organics. The sample analytical results are summarized in Table 2 and laboratory analyses are included in Appendix III. Low levels of toluene (0.028 - 0.15 parts per million) were detected as well as oil and grease (290 - 460 ppm). One sample contained 62 ppm diesel range organics. These concentrations are not considered a threat to ground water left in place following guidance in the LUFT Manual with a depth to ground water of 500 feet or greater. 16010070.071 Page 13 ---_u- - ~ ',' " REFERENCES WZIINC V.

Box 12616 Fresno, CA 93778-2616 Dear Ms. Fredericks, It has corne to my attention that CalTrans is considering a plan that would route Highway 58 through a portion of the Bakersfield community called WestPark. I wish to take exception to the proposed routing as outlined on the Kern River alignment map dated April 1, 1994. Significant financial loss will occur to many of us that live in westpark due to relocation. others will inherit depressed property values for those left to live near the proposed freeway. This proposal will eliminate approximately 150 homes from the City of Bakersfield tax roles with current values ranging from $80,000 to $185,000. This could result in lost property tax revenue to the City of Bakersfield of $200,000 per year forever. There will be an increase in the noise pollution and daily disruption in getting our children to either Harris or Stockdale Christian Elementary schools. Consequently, I strongly disagree with this proposed freeway alternate route.

As you already know, calls for service are dispatched by priority. Our dispatch records indicate the call on June 9th at your residence was received as "assist other agency", which is rated as a high priority call. S.P.C.A. Officers are empowered to issue citations under Penal Code 830.9 which states "Animal control officers are not peace officers but may exercise the powers of arrest of a peace officer as specified in Penal Code Section 836 and the power to serve warrants as specified in Sections 1523 and 1530 during the course and within the scope of their employment ..." Penal Code Section 853.5 and 853.6(i)(8) states in simple terms that you may be arrested if you refuse to sign a misdemeanor citation, and your refusal is recognized as a request to be taken before a magistrate. You advised in your letter that your neighbor called the police department five consecutive nights to report a loud party without police response, however you did not specify where your neighbor resided or what dates he or she called. I reviewed our call history records in your immediate area from May 24th through June 15th and there were no reported loud parties. I assure you we will be happy to assist any citizen with the issue of peace disturbances (loud party calls). If this situation continues please call the police department at 327- 7111 and be sure to identify yourself for police contact. The call will be dispatched by priority as it is normally handled, however, you will be contacted by an officer. 1601 Truxtun Avenue P. O.

A Ms. Anaya from the S.P.C.A. stopped at our house while canvassing our neighborhood for unlicensed dogs. It just so happened that we had a 5 1/2 month old that had just received her rabies shot. It was overdue as she was unable to get the shots because she was sick. As soon as she was well we got the shot. It has only been one week and we were waiting for my checks to come so I could send in the forms for her license. Since the dog had no license we were in violation of the licensing law. I received a citation. I have no real problem with the citation as it is just for the amount of the tags. I do have a problem, however, about this was handled. It was handled as though I had committed a capital - _.crime-. -.1 was_terriÞJ.y offended and refused to sign the violation. - - -. ---- ---.-~ -- -- - - -- -- -_. ---- Ms. Anaya informed me that a police officer would be here to help me sign this.

Find below responses to each of the questions posed by the Californian in their letter dated June 22, 1994 (I have also attached a copy of that letter). Following the responses to the Californian letter, I have included a compilation of data on employees who have retired from the City of Bakersfield during the 8 year period. The compilation includes the following retiree information: 1) Sex 2) Date of Birth 3) Retirement Date 4) Unit where employed P - Police Unit F - Fire Unit M - Miscellaneous Unit 5) Years of Service 6) Type of Retirement I - INDUSTRIAL DISABILITY RETIREMENT, available to safety officers (sworn police and fire personnel) only. It is a retirement due to a work-related injury. D - DISABILITY RETIREMENT, a retirement due to an injury. For non-safety personnel, it is irrelevant whether the injury is work related or not. For safety employees, this type of retirement is for off the job injuries only. S - SERVICE Retirement, based on the number of years of service only. No injury is involved. 7) Type of Disability (if applicable). 8) Department of the Retiree. " ,-, Please note that the data is based on information currently available in Personnel and Risk Management. It may not necessarily reflect changes made subsequent to the retirement date. RESPONSES TO THE CALIFORNIAN LETTER 1) The number of City employees who have left employment on non- disability retirements: 1986-87 13 1987-88 7 1988-89 6 1989-90 8 1990-91 7 1991-92 4 1992-93 11 1993-93 21 2) Names and ages of all persons who have submitted applications for disability retirements and whether those applications were approved, denied or withdrawn: The disclosure of the retiree's name would be an "unwarranted evasion of personal privacy" as proscribed by Government Code Section 6254(c). On the information provided, however, the birthdate of each retiree is listed. As to whether the applications were approved, denied or withdrawn are decisions made by PERS. It would probably be in order to refer the Californian to PERS for this information. 3) For each person granted disability retirements, we would like the following: a) name and age: The disclosure of the retiree's name would be an "unwarranted evasion of personal privacy" as proscribed by Government Code Section 6254(c). On the information provided, however, the birthdate of each retiree is listed. b) Type of disability; injury (including type of injury), stress, or other disability (specified by type): On the information provided, the type of disability is listed for each retiree who has been granted either a disability or industrial disability retirement ., -; c) Amounts paid by the city, both monthly and annually, for the duration of the pension: Because the City does not make the disability payments, we would be unable to provide this information. It would probably be in order to refer the Californian to PERS for this information. d) Years of service, rank, position and department for which they worked at the time of retirement: On the information provided, the years of service (at the time of re~irement) is provided as well as the department in., which the retiree worked. The disclosure of the retiree's rank and/or position at the time of retirement may be an "unwarranted evasion of personal privacy" as proscribed by Government Code Section 6254(c}. e) Whether the person was safety or non-safety personnel: On the information provided, this information is provided. f) Basis for the decision to grant the petition: Non-safety employees may apply for disability retirement directly to PERS or may apply to PERS through the City. The determination to grant the petition for these employees is made by PERS. For safety employees, there is a different process which has changed over the past few years. On January 28, 1974, the City Council passed Resolution 5-74, granting the City Manager the authority to make applications on behalf of any employee for disability retirement. On May 20, 1992, the City Council passed Resolution 7~-92, establishing the Disability Retirement and Review Committee. In addition, Resolution 79-92 established the procedures and regulations of the Committee and the Retirement Appeals Board, as well as the duties and responsibilities of the City Manager concerning disability retirements of safety members. An employee may appeal the decision of the City Manager to PERS who would then make the ultimate decision. The City does not make t~e ultimate decision in all cases. We are unable to provide complete information as requested. We would probably be in order to refer the Californian to PERS for this information. " " g) Whether the decision was based in whole or part on medical advice of a private physician or a physician on contract with this governmental agency: Non-safety employees would be required to submit medical information to PERS to support their request for disability retirement. For safety employees, the Disability Retirement Review Committee makes a recommendation to the City Manager to grant or deny an application for retirement based on medical evidence from all physicians involved. Again, an employee may appeal the decision of the City- Manager to PERS who would then make the ultimate decision. Since the City does not make the ultimate decision in all cases, we are unable to provide complete information as requested. We would probably be in order to refer the Californian to PERS for this information. 4) Total sums, by City department, paid in disability retirements: Because the City does not make the disability payments, we would be unable to provide this information. It would probably be in order to refer the Californian to PERS for this information. August 15, 1994 ", '~ ~~~ 1Bah!m~ <!a1ifønñan June 22, 1994 Scott Manzer Risk Manager, City Manager's Office 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Mr. Manzer, Tms letter is to request access to records in the possession of your agency for the purpose of inspection and copying. pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.). The infonnation that we ask to inspect is as follows: We woulò Jike;retiennent records: from Fiscal Year 1978-79 through Fiscal Year 1993-94. These records should contain: 1) The nwnber of city employees who have left cmploynient on non~sability retirements. 2) Names and ages of all persons who have submitted applications for disability retirements and whether those applications were approved, denied or withdrawn. 3) For each person granted disability retirements, we would like the following: a) Name and age. b) Type of disability; i.e., injury (including type of injury), stress, or other disability (specified by type). c) Amounts paid by the city, both monthly and annually, for the duration of the pension. d) Years of service, rank, position and department for which they worked at the time of retirement. . e) Whether the person was safety or non-safety personnel. £) Basis for the decision to grant the pension. g) Whether the decision was based in whole or part on medical advice of a private physician or a physician on contract with this governmental agency. 4) Total sums, by city department, paid in disability retirements. In the event that your agency deems this information pertains to private individuals, the purpose of the request is the gathering oi newsworthy facts by a publisher as provided in Sections 1798.3 (j) and 1798.60 of the Civil Code. This request reasonably describes identifiable records or infonnation produced therefrom. and we believe that there exists no express provisions of law exempting the records from disclosure. Pursuant to Government Code Section 6257, we ask that you make the records "promptly available" for inspection and copying, based on our payment of "fees covering direct costs of duplication, or ~ statutory fee, if applicable." If a portion of the information we have requested is exempt from disclosure by express provisions of law, Government Code Section 6257 additionally requires segregation and deletion of that material in order that the remainder of the information may be released. If you determine that an express provision 'Jf law exists to exempt from disclosure all or a portion of the material we have requested. Government Code Section 6256 requires nati'lcation to me of the reasons for the detennination not later than 10 days frorr. your receipt of this request. Government Code Scctitm 6256.2 prohibits the use of the 1lkiay period, or any provisions of the Public Records Act, "to delay access for purposes of inspecting public records." Thank you for your timely attention to our r~quest. ~~ Tom Maurer ~Wri~ Lois Henry Staff Writer cc: Police Department Civil Service Board Fire Deoartment Civil Service Board ,¡ CITY OF BAKERSFIELD RETIREMENTS Sex Birth Retirement Unit ServlYrs Type Disability Dept.

There are three types of retirements, explained as follows: 1) A SERVICE retirement is based on the number of years of service only. No injury is involved. 2) A DISABILITY retirement is a retirement due to an injury. For non-safety employees, it is irrelevant whether the injury is work related or not. For safety employees, this type of retirement is for off the job injuries only. 3) An INDUSTRIAL DISABILITY retirement is available to safety officers only. It is a retirement due to a work-related injury. The number of each type of retirement for non-safety employees, police employees and fire employees is listed below.

Rojas, Director of Public Works ~~t:: DATE: August 17, 1994 SUBJECT: STATUS OF FREEWAY AND STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS METR 0 PO LIT AN BAKERSFIELD AREA For your information and Council distribution, attached is the August report prepared by this department regarding the status of the various freeway and State highway projects in the metropolitan area. The previous reports also provide additional background on the various projects. I I ."" -,"""'-..~ I August 16, 1994 STATUS OF FREEWAY AND STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD AREA Public Works Department MarianP. Shaw, CE III This report is intended to bring the members of the City Council up to date on the progress of various freeway and State Highway projects in the metropolitan area since the May status report. Kern River Corridor (Kern River Freewav) The City has received right-of-way maps for the three proposed alternative alignments. These plans are available for review at the Public Works counter on the first floor of the Annex Building. The City is currently reviewing the geometrics of the proposed alignments. The current geometric plans do not allow for .!illY access to. S.R. 99 from Real Road, Wible Road and Stockdale Highway - the existing connections would be eliminated. The City will be protesting the elimination of access to CalTrans. I . CalTrans is working t.o clarify the wetlands issue with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and expects favorable results. A public meeting was held on July 27, 1994; about 320 people were in attendance. CalTrans' public relations consultant will be preparing a report on this meeting. Staff will inform the Council as soon as this report is available. The public hearing on the project will be held sometime in 1995, and a preferred alignment will be selected after the hearing. The Environmental Impact Report will be completed in 1995. CalTrans hopes to have the specific plan line process completed by the time the right-of-way money becomes available in July of 1996. State Route 178 (Crosstown Freewav) There has been no change in the status of the Crosstown Freeway from that last reported. The House has authorized $4.5 million for this project. The project was not included in the recent appropriations bill and may be considered for funding next year. State Route 99 , . There are currently four major projects programmed for State Route 99: the Rosedale interchange landscaping, the Golden State/Airport Drive interchange modification, the widening of S.R. 99 to six lanes between South Union and Panama Lane, and the widening of S.R. 99 to eight lanes between Wilson Road and Golden State/Airport Drive. The start of the landscaping of the Rosedale median was delayed to the abundance of kit fox in the area. This problem will be addressed by constructing the improvements in the fall when kit fox activity is the least intense. The CalTrans Landscape Architect has given the City provisional approval of the landscape plans; however, several changes will be made to the plans at the request of the Kern River Parkway Committee and i' '\. ;; ',,- ~ Freeway Status Report August 16, 1994 the California Native Plant Society. This may delay the project further, but staff and CalTrans are working to minimize any impact on the schedule. If all goes as planned, the work will be done in the fall by the California Conservation Corps. . This will be one of the largest projects the CCC has done in this area. Construction on the Golden Sta~e/Airport Drive interchange modification is ahead of schedule. CalTrans expects to have the route open for traffic in mid-October. The resurfacing of Airport Drive will affect traffic on that road butno detours are planned. No date for the resurfacing is available yet. Construction on the widening of S.R. 99 to 6 lanes between South Union and Panama Lane was completed on June 30, 1994. ' The funding for the widening of S.R. 99 between Wilson Road and Airport Drive has been restored. The project will advertise on September 19, 1994. Construction should start by mid- tó late-November. The widening project will take approximately 2 years to construct. The work on this project will be closely coordinated with the City's California Avenue Widening project, which will include redesign of both the eastbound California/northbound 99 ramp and the westbound Californi:¡/northbound 99 ramp. Union Avenue / All work on the Union Avenue median project is now complete. South Beltway Public Works and Planning staff are pursuing the Specific Plan Line adoption for the South Beltway. The Environmental Impact Report approved by Kern COG added three alternatives to the ones already proposed. The City is currently preparing an engineering evaluation of the additional routes. As soon as the evaluation is complete, the EIR will be reopened and additional hearings will be scheduled. West Beltway There is no change in the status of the West Beltway from that last reported. It is still the County's intention to pursue adoption of a specific plan line for this beltway through the General Plan amendment and zone change process for the West Rosedale, Pacificana and McAllister Ra~ch specific plans. The County has held some informational meetings for the public, but they have not been well attended. Coffee Road Grade Separation The Separation of Grade District is soliciting proposals for environmental evaluation of the project site relative to risks and mitigation of contamination. This work should be underway in a month or, less if Sunland Refining is cooperative. Staff has met with officials of the State Water Quality Control Board regarding the City's potential liability. The Board is sympathetic to staffs concerns - discussions will continue. - ---- ------- -------- ----------------- ¿.." l.""" Freeway Status Report August 16, 1994 The various potential alternatives for alignment and scope of the project were recently restudied by the. District's .consultants. The conclusion was that the divergent alignment to the west is the least costly alternative. Each of the other possibilities cost more and are subject to essentially to the same soil contamination problems. Improvements at the intersection of Coffee and Brimhall were recently completed. The Level of Service has improved from F to C. FS:\FREEWY12.STS mps ~~.,~,.~ ~~- - "-- GOVERN 0 R PETE WILSON RECl;iVED ---=1 ~ .

This important matter of public policy must be at,idressed by the federal government. Due to the growing national concern regarding our federal immigration policy, both the President and key legislative leaders have acknowledged federal responsibility., But to date, little has been done.
