T0: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
�ptember 30, 1994
1. We had an inquiry about getting a professional hockey team into Bakersfield
to play at the Convention Center. It appears to be real. They are
desiring to run eight test dates this winter and, if the community responds
well, they indicate they would sign a five year contract with us. We are
having some difficulties in finding a schedule that allows for those eight
test dates, but we are trying very hard to free them up. That may involve
contacting some pre-scheduied events to see if they are willing to move,
but we will do so in a positive vein, rather than a forceful one. This
team is currently in Burbank. They play other franchises that operate out
of Anchorage, Fairbanks, Las Vegas, Vail and Fresno, among others.
Like all sports teams, we take the level of inquiry we have had so far with
a"grain of salt," but this one does appear to have some substance and we
are dealing with it as if it does.
2. In the "annoyances" department, the Battalion Chiefs in the Fire
Department, through the Fire Union, filed a lawsuit against the City and
myself, this week. It is over ihe issue of allowing them to form a
Battaiion Chief Union. You may recall that was denied because it is too
narrow of a unit. We, simply, cannot have eight-member unions, or we will
have to then have a much larger administrative and Human Resources staff to
deal with them.
3. The Pilots Association did file a lawsuit over the Casa Loma rezoning.
Separately, we are in the very final stages of agreeing to letters with the
Sisters of Mercy which would result in the withdraw of the zone change so,
hopefully, the lawsuit will go away in the short term.
4. I did have a positive meeting this week with Ken Peterson and Ben Austin in
their role as LAFCO Commissioners. We were successful in getting Union #10
through LAFCO. They indicated that they would work with us on changing our
Sphere of Influence. Mr.� Turpin is to write to us indicating how it is
that we can go about doing that. You may recall that he vetoed, �hrough a
State agency, our iast effort to change the Sphere of Influence. I am
cautiously optimistic that this direct communication with the LAFCO
Commissioners may help some of the LAFCO problems we have experienced.
5. In the good news department, the sales tax for the first quarter was
budgeted with a projection of a 3% increase in revenue, and it came in at
a 5z% increase. Since the adoption of the budget, we have had several
�

positive financial trends. Be cautious, however, with a 309� increase in
bookings, the Sheriff's Department wants an 80% increase in booking fees
from us. We will take the position that, not only should we not have such
an increase, but we should get a"walk away" rebate for all of those 250
prisoners who walk out, or escape from Lerdo.
6. McDevitt, Street and Bovis, the firm that is building the Convention Center
Hotel, has a Stadium Divisio�n. McDevitt is a very large national firm. We
are using them to cross check cost estimates on building ballpark
facilities. They have built a number of both major and minor league
facilities around the country of very fine quality. It should help "pin
down" the accuracy of cost estimates we are getting from other sources on
the baseball stadium topic.
7. I checked with Joel Heinrichs' Office at the County. As you will recall,
they are supposed to move forward, now that the judicial decision is out on
the Jamieson suit, with a policy on traffic mitigation that would parallel
ours. Mr. Heinrichs indicates to me that on the 17th of October, they will
come out with a paper to the Supervisors, which would result in them
initiating the legislation.
8. Enclosed are "raw" survey results from the Castro and Curran telephone
poll. These will require some further analysis and breakdown to understand
completely. Please remember these are initial opinions before any public
information campaign. To me, they show that annexation of those areas will
be a tough sell, but is in the realm of possibility. There are a lot of
elderly residents who have been there a long time and are reluctant to
change. On the other hand, there was over 309'o who were already desirous of
change. With a good information campaign, there is hope. She specifics
they identify will also help us structure public education efforts so that
we address the residents' concerns.
9. At the last meeting, the Council requested information on costs for a
downtown stadium. Some of the information put together by our
Economic/Community Development staff and Property Manager is enclosed. It
may be somewhat lower than the costs indicated by the consultant, but our
work did not include utility relocation or relocation of businesses and
people.
10. As a part of our preparatory work for looking at an annexation program, we
continue to look at our old sewer contracts. I will get back to you with
more detailed information, however, we signed some very bad contracts in
the late 1970's. CSA 71, itself, serving northwest Bakersfield, is not
very good either. We are reviewing alternatives, but those documents were
structured to the advantage of the County, not the City.
On the subject of tax splits - We have a pretty good consensus among some
of the major cities on a proposal to take to the County. We are
attempting, through the President of the Kern County City Managers group
who is the Delano City Manager, to schedule meetings with Joe Drew in the
near future. I do not expect this to be easy, but we will keep after it.

11. The zoning issues on the theaters near East Hills Mall are going to
Committee. The Hahn Company is the owner of both the Mall and the proposed
area for theaters. They are a large, well respected firm who, by the way,
owned the largest mall in Billings. I think their judgement about what is
best for the Mall, on or off site theaters, can be trusted. They are very
knowledgeable.
12. There is a letter enclosed from North Kern Water Storage District regarding
their position on the Western Rosedale Specific Plan water issues.
13. A news release from Frito-Lay is enclosed regarding their $50 million
expansion project.
14. Responses to Council Referrals are enclosed regarding the impacts on the
maintenance districts due to development at Gosford and White, and various
street repairs.
15. We had the first meeting of the Permit Streamlining Task Force this week.
Enclosed are the notes from the first meeting. All agencies invited to
participate responded, except the Sierra Club who declined the invitation.

Gentiemen:
At our recent meeting on the subject of LAFCO, I indicated I would forward to you a
copy of the set of documents under which our Sphere of Influence change was vetoed
by the State, at the request of Mr. Turpin. A copy of that set of documents is enclosed
for your information. I have tabbed a couple of the most pertinent sections; more
particularly, Mr. Turpin's letter intervening with the State in our Sphere change, our
appeal, and the disposition of the matter to Mr. Turpin's position by the State.
I wish to express the great appreciation of the City for your willingness to listen to our
concerns. Addressing our problems with LAFCO will go far in improving City/County
relations.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

MEMORANDU�I
F
TO: _ Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director �
S? T'37ECT: information Reguested bv �a=: Young -
This is the information you requested yesterday based upon Mr Young's memo of
September 13 on the downtown site: �
1. A boundary map.
The site is bounded by the Santa Fe railroad tracks on the north, California Avenue on the
south, "L" Street on the west, and "Q" Street on the east. A map is enclosed which deiines
the site and the blocks which are within the redevelopment area.
2. An aerial phota
A 1990 aerial is enclosed. Please note that some recent construction is not shown, namely
the County of Kern Administrative Center and its adjacent parking structure.
3. A title report.
All owners of record are highlighted in the enclosed information from the Kern County
Assessor's Office. At your d'uection, tide reports were not prepared. There are
approximately 120 individual parcels within the deiined area.
4. A description of the buildings on the site.
The enclosed parcel maps show the use of each parcei. This information has been provided
to Don Anderson to assist him with #5 below.
5. Estimate of value for land.
Mr. Anderson is preparing this and will provide it directly to your office.
6. Zoning information and EIR requirements.
Planning staff is preparing this and will provide it d'uectly to your office.
7. Whether the Agency has unencumbered cash flow to use on a downtown stadium.
A cash flow statement for the Central District Development Agency showing unencumbered
balances is enclosed. Please note that the FY1993-94 figures are unaudited.
Alan Tandy
September 15, 1994

8: Estimated time frame to acquire the property through negotiated sale or
condemnation.
Only two blocks of this site are within the redevelopment area. To acquire the remaining (#)
of blocks through condemnation would require amending the existing project area to include
these blocks. Based David Lyman's September 9 memo to you, amending the project area
appears to take approximately nine to twelve months and would generally involve the
following steps: -
• Agency Holds a Public Heari�ag on the Proposed Amendment.
If the proposal signifcandy alters the City general plan then the Planning Commission
must report changes to the legislative body.
• Preparation of Section 33352 Report .
• Citv Council Public Hearing and Adopts Ordinance
, • Clerk of the commuraity sends ordinance to various public parties, including taxing
entities.
Consideration must be made of the requuements of AB1290. Adopted January 1, 1994
AB 1290 has changed the definition of blight and the relationships between redevelopment
agencies and affected taxing entities. AB 1290 was adopted to encourage agencies to preform
a careful pre-screening of areas, ensuring they meet the tightened blight criteria. A more
thorough documentation of blighting conditions and the reasons for undertaking a
redevelopment program are now required. Failure to take these steps could leave an agency
vulnerable to successful challenges from affected taxing entities.
The revised definition of blight applies to all new and amended project areas adopted after
January l, 1994. A blighted area is one that contains both of the following:
a) "predominantly urbanized" means the area has been or is developed for urban uses,
not less than eighty percent of the land; and
b) the combination of blighting conditions is so prevalent that it constitutes a nhvsical
and economic burden on the community that cannot reasonably be expected to be
reversed by private enterprise and/or governmental assistance, without redevelopment
AB 1290 instituted a revised payment schedule to taxing entities applies to new projects and
amendments. Agencies pay affected t�ing entities specified amounts at specif'ic times during
the life of the plan. Each taxing entity must be provided with a copy of the preliminary
report and draft EIR for the plan, and to consult individually with each affected taxing entity.
Financing redevelopment activities is an important redevelopment tool. An agency may
accepr any kind of assistance from any public or private source and may borrow money from
any such source. Such sources include the city, tax increment financing, lease revenue bonds,
certificates of participation; mortgage revenue bonds, federal funds, assessment districts,
Alan Tandy
September 15, 1994
Paee 3
developer funding, and others. An agency may issue its own bonds secured by its anticipated
tax increment revenues from the project area. Usually, the flow of tax increment revenues to
the Agency will probably be insufficient in itself to finance the full scope of the
redevelopment activities so alternative financing mechanisms are necessary.
Another tool available to redevelopment agencies is the assemblage of property. Private
de�elop?rs-seldom can assemble parcels of land into a site large er�ough for their nee��. The
agency, with city council approval, can, if necessary, use the power of eminent domain to
acquire property for a development if property owners are unwilling to sell.
Relocation is another important aspect of redevelopment when buying developed land.
Relocation is the displacement of a business or family for the purpose of clearing land and
preparing it for its designated use. The agency pays for assistance in finding a new location,
payments to help cover moving costs, and payments for certain other costs as provided by
law.
Redevelopment agencies are not only required to provide relocation assistance for those
people displaced by redevelopment plans but, in addition, actually increase the supply of low-
and-moderate income housing.
I caution that amending the existing project area may create additional financial burdens on
the agency regarding the receipt of tax increment from the existing redevelopment area. The
creaaon of a separate redevelopment area adjacent to the existing one may offer more
flexibility. Enclosed are the appropriate sections from the California Community
Redevelopment Law.

In addition to the above information, Mr. Young requested two additional items from David
Lyman September 14:
a. The acreage of this site.
The site is 36 acres including the streets which bisect it.
b. The number of parking spaces within waiking distance which would be available for
game time.
This was based upon the following assumptions:
1. walking distance is no greater than three blocks.
?. available for game time as defined by Mr. Young is after 5:30PM Monday through
Alan Tandy
September 15, 1994
Page 4 .
Saturday and after 3:30PM on Sunday.
3. the area south of California Avenue was not considered for available parking
because of its residential nature.
4. Mr. .Young mentioned that ±2,000 parking spaces within walking distance are
needed for baseball use and double this amount for concerts.
5. the 180-space County of Kern juror pazking lot at the northeast corner of 14th and
"L" streets is not inciuded because it is within the downtown site boundaries.
2,773 parking spaces are identified in the enclosed chart. These spaces are also shown on the
enclosed aerial photo.
Please call me if you have any questions or require additional information.

?3ti.s memorandum has been prepared to facilitate the analysi.s being prepared by

T3ie subject area comprises 13.5 city blocks or .32.5 +/- acres, including streets.
7�zere are approximately SO dwelling units and .35 businesses in the subject area.
It is my opinion titat the properties withln the area delineated on the attached map
iiave an aggregate "AS IS" value of approximately $7,500,000. This does not
inciccde tlae cost of acqccisition and relocation assistance, whiclz could run another

RE:
Dear Gene:
Western�Rosedale Specific Plan Water Issues
Given the most recent events occurring at the Western Rosedale
Specific Plan Hearing with criticism by the City towards the County
of Kern on the planning issue, I am concerned that somehow North
Kern Water Storage District is being misinterpreted as taking
inappropriate positions on urban development issues. North Kern
has a good history of working with the City of Bakersfield on water
supply and we would hope to continue on the same good relationship;
therefore, in order to maintain good communications, I think it is
important to express the direction North Kern is taking.
The most important point to emphasize is that North Kern is
focusing on the water supply issue only and is not involved in
discussion of other development issues. The North Kern Board of
Directors have taken the position that those are outside the scope
of our interest and are inappropriate for us to comment upon.
However, with respect to water supply, the North Kern Board has
taken a strong position of stewardship that a water supply and
facilities must be available whether the land develops in the
County or the City.
We have thus developed in concert with Rosedale-Rio Bravo
Water 5torage District the comments far the water portion of the
Western Rosedale Specific Plan. Although they are not perfect in
absolutely requiring a water supply we believe they are the best
that can be developed at this point in time without expensive
judicial or State legislative involvement. The current concepts
give the landowners in North Kern and Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water
Storage District first shot to develop their own water supply
plans. If they do not agree with the stewardship presented by
their respective districts then the water supply planning issues
cascade to the Kern County Water Agency and then to the County of
Kern. �

North Kern's Board would welcome the City's assistance in
�water supply planning. Certainly if all of the urbanization
occurs was in the City of BakersEield, North Kern would not have
any concern given the City's good water rights and history of
planning the necessary facilities to distribute water. Absent City
annexation and the continuing urbanization in the County, we need
to plan for the water supply issues. North Kern will be developing
a plan that not only addresses the water supply issues but the
facility issues. Certain areas in North Kern which are presently
upon dependant upon agricuTtural in-lieu recharge projects, will
need to consider the development of direct recharge in order to
maintain the groundwater basin. These recharge facilities could be
utilized for lands that either urbanize within the County or
urbaniae within the City.
It appears that California Water Storage District law would
allow the assessment of charges to be carried through giving the
City landowners the benefit of the City water supply and that the
County landowners would have to pay for the other water supply
brought in.
Given this, I again see there is a potential for planning that
provides for both County and City urbanization for at least in the
facilities area. I wish to repeat, the North Kern Board of
Directors has a position of stewardship in the water area. They
believe if they don't involve themselves in this issue that urban
development will occur without a water supply and we will be in a
much worse situation in the long run. ,
If the City Council members or staff would like further
explanation, staff and Board Members would be happy to meet.

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Frank Fabbri, Parks � Superintendent��
DATE: August 30, 1994
SUBJECT: Council Referral 13702
�
Councilmember Brunni requested staff summarize what the impacts
would be to the landscape maintenance districts due to the
development at Gosford Road and White Lane (tentative tract 5678).
At the time the Bakersfield Planning Commission approved tentative
tract 5678, the consolidated maintenance district had not yet
approved. The Planning Commission was concerned about the effect
the proposed tract would have on Maintenance District 2 Division 4
(District 2-04). The proposed tract would include not only
additional landscaping, but a reduction in the total number of
equivalent dwelling units (EDU's) to be assessed for District 2-04
due to a change in land use.
To mitigate the reduction in EDU's, staff recommended and the
Planning Commission approved tentative tract 5678 on April 21, 1994
with the stipulation that the maintenance district assessment for
dwelling units within this tract be 1.53 times the normal
assessment (under separate district method). This stipulation was
to be�reflected in the C.C. & R's. The increase in cost due to the
additional amount.of landscaping would be spread over the entire
district (2-04).
Subsequent to this, the City Council approved the Consolidated
Maintenance District. The additional street landscaping in tract
5678 would add approximately $.30 to each EDU within the
consolidated district. Each single family assessment would
increase approximately $.30 to $1.20 depending on the applicable
tier. Park assessments for tract 5678 would also be 1.53 times the
park assessments for other parcels with park assessments. However,
park assessments for other parcels would not change.
Using the 1994-95 FY maintenance district budget, the assessment
under the consolidated method for the Oaks would be as follows:

A single family residence in the Oaks, but not in tract 5678,
would pay approximately $88 and a single family residence in
the Oaks but within tract 5678 would pay approximately $135.

Council Referral Record # 13883
The potholes in the alley between Kaibab and University (2900 block) and the
west side of Columbus south of Panorama were repaired on September 9,
1994. The potholes at Auburn and Columbus (west side) were actually areas
that had rolled upwards. These were cold planed down on September 21,
1994.
The curb and gutter at 3207 Panorama was in good condition. The property
owner was contacted and did not have any complaints. This may need to be
checked for a possible wrong address. The curb and gutter at 3214 had a
high spot that was holding back water, creating a pond. The high curb and
gutter was ground down to allow proper drainage. There is also some minor
erosion in the street as a result of this that needs to be patched. We
anticipate completion by September 30, 1994. The property owner seemed
satisfied with this solution.
At this time, there is no bike path on Christmas Tree Lane, however, there
is some raveling in the construction joint area in the future bike path area in
the eastbound lane, east of Columbus. This area should also be patched by
September 30, 1994.

ISSUES:
NOTES FROM
PERMIT STREAMLINING TASK FORCE
MEETING OF 9/27/94
• Comparison of City/County permit .processes. They are doing some things to
streamline permits that we should look at doing.
• Duplication of review (landscape permits reviewed by Building, Parks and Public
Works).
• Downsizing - fewer personnel for public and private - there is a need to
cooperate.
•� Need to have access to staff with the responsibility and authority to solve
problems.
• Improve efficiency and save time.
• Look at shifting some work load to private sector (particularly during peak work
times). �
• Address staffing fluctuations - don't "make work" (increase level of regulation)
during off peak times.
• Public Works should evenly apply requirements for all engineers.
• Ideas for fee incentives for. plan check good concept (less time doing plan check
resulting in lower fee). '
• Should coordinate plan check process with City policies (i.e., street lights).
• We should publish our development policies.
• Streamline requirements on existing businesses.
• We should identify required permits, how long it will take to process them and
how much it will cost. �
• We need to address the Fish and Game filing fee (some cities don't pay - this is
a legal issue that needs clarification). Does the adoption of the Habitat
Conservation Plan impact this?
� We need to look at what other cities are doing.
• We need to improve communication between public and private sectors.
� Task Force requested the list of fees to identify all permits. (City Treasurer to
provide). �

Thank you or your letter dated August 31 regarding the Council's concern about our
handling of the August 17 press conference. ,
We dropped the ball, and the result was a last minute assignment of a reporter to cover
the announcement regarding the Joint Powers Agreement. I understand the faxed
announcement of the press confzrence was misplaced and never got to the assigning
editor.
Our coverage of local government is important to us and our new executive editor,
Richard Beene, and our various local editors are currently reviewing our coverage and
assignment prioriries to make certain we're covering all appropriate meetings, and
keeping abreast of the key issues.
Your criticism is taken in the vein it was given, and we'll respond appropriately. Thanks
for sharing your concern.

Thank you for contacting me regarding the 1994-95 state budget and the
importance o£ adequate funding for cities. I appreciate being informed of your
concerns as difficult decisions must be made during each budget season and
knowing the vi.ews of my constituents is absolutely essential.
As;you�may know, many local governmental entities were spared and the final
budge:t-�was.intended to•have a minima�l'impact�on city finarices�. Fortunately; the
early-proposal=to�shift $100 million from cities�to counties was not included in
the final budget. The most critical component of�the budget agreement was the
",trigger bill" (SB 1230). SB 1230 requires the State Controller to estimate the
cash condition of the General Fund £or the 1994-95 fiscal year on
November 15, 1994 and to identify the amount of any shortfall in excess of $430
million. If there is a shortfall, the Governor will be required to propose
legislation providing for General Fund expenditure reductions, revenue
increases, or both, to offset the shortfall. The Legislature would be required
to pass and the Gavernor to sign this legislation by February 15, 1995. If
legislation is not�enacted, the Director of Finance will reduce all General Fund
appropriations by a�percentage necessary to offset the shortfall in the General
Fund. Appropriations required for�the Proposition 98 guarantee, Homeowners'
Exemption reimbursement, local mandate reimbursement, general obligation debt
service or any other provision of the California Constitution would be excluded
from this reduction. If there is a shortfall, cities would be likely candidates
for reductions, but only by legislative action. If there is no legislative
acrion, the fall-back provisions of the trigger would not have an impact on
cities.
I:hope this information has been.of�assistance to you. Please be"assured I wi1T
continue. to work�to reach budget�§olutions which are in the best interests of
all.Califbrnians. '
Sincerely,
TRICE HARVEX
