A letter is enclosed ��vhi�h went to two County S;�pervis�rs on the problems we are having with LAFCO. LAF�O's administrator simply will not let us change our Sphere of Influence without excessive cost. 2. Unfortunately, I must report to you that our property tax receipts were $500,000 below the estimate in the budget. This was more than offset by sales tax. Unfortunately, we also have the County's proposal to capture over $300,000 in additional revenues through the booking fees. So, much of the good news on the sales tax is moderated. 3. The Asset Forfeiture Program has been restored. You will recall that it was interrupted for some months due to bungling of the legislature. 4. When you approved the conversion of the Fair Housing Prdgram to being in- house, it converted from a contract to a personnel servi�e. We are in the process of listing a Development Associate position with a specialty in fair housing to permanently fill that role. 5. The Mayor, some department heads and I met with the new management at Texaco this week. They are brand new and annexation is not around the corner. As they move forward with wastewater treatment plans during the next couple of years, it might be resurrected; or as they increase their familiarity with aur community, ;t might be resurrected, but 5t wi�l not be immediately. 6. What is the meaning of the County's �roposa� on tFe tax splits to take 50 of our gross sales tax receipts? 4Je11, the answer is that �t would take 40,000 homes' property tax �eneration to equal the �% of our gross sales tax. You could als� look at it, tlepending upon pay c�assifica�ian, as something over 2D police officers. 7. The press conference on the hockey team went very well. ihey seem enthusias�i� about coming to town and working wiih the community. Based upon my conversaticns with Coun�ilmembers, cemmunity members, etc., I think this will go extremely well. In fact, Lee Andersen reports that over 50G reservations for season ti�kets rvere called i� the first day - a�azing! Too bad that the day after a pramoter :vho wanted to do roller blade hockey called a press conference. He had postponed twice - we didn't know whether he was real or not, and the Convent�on Cente� dates are a�ways firmed-up. � �, HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL October 21, 1994 Page -2- 8. We are having our annual (although we have not done it for two years) Department Head Retreat next Thursday and Friday. While Andrea will be able to contact me in the event of an emergency, most of our shops will be run by the assistant department heads. Trudy Slater will be in our office. We will be going to Tehachapi for a two day, one night away from town planning and brainstorming session. 9. I need some guidance from Council about how hard we fight the booking fee proposal from the County. I do not know whether it should go to committee or take some other form. On November 8th, there will be a public hearing before the County Board of Supe�v�s��s. The problem, of cours2, is that we cannot aff�rd the $300,000+ that they want tc charge us retroactively. A meeti ng ��ri �h the Court;� Admi ni strati ve Off ; �er sha,�ed that, wh i� e 28% af i t is due to increased bookin�s, the majority of this proposed 72% increase is �ue to a change in their methodology of doing calculations ivhich, surprise, surprise, disadvantages us. 1C. I am having Raul Rojas and Lee Andersen work through many of the open issues and questions on the baseball stadium proposal. One significant piece of information I need to make you aware of is, after more contact with �he Fair Board, that idea may not be as lucrative a proposition as we initially thought. The Fair Director spoke with our �taff about the $3 m�llion only as a loan and some unspecified amount of cash. The loan cr�teria has not yet bee� established by the state. There may be additional complications with that prcposal which is, as yet, not fully undeirstood and articuiated. 11.

Enclosed you will find Mr. Turpin's letter to me indicating how we can go about changing our Sphere of Influence. While it sounds cooperative on the surface, it requires General Plan Amendments and associated environmental work. You will also find an analysis from Jack Hardisty indicating that the General Plan Amendments and environmental work is expected to take one and one-half to two years, at a cost of $200,000 to $300, 000. Sphere modifications involving agricultural land that took place without General Plan Amendments, zoning and EIRs have recently been completed in Porterville in 1991, Chino Hills in 1991, Chino in 1994 and Ontario in 1994. Changes in process elsewhere in the State, under these same conditions, include Oakdale, Hanford, Lemoore and Reedley. Prior to Mr. Turpin, Sphere changes could be done without excessive bureaucracy, time consumption and cost in Kern County. Mr. Turpin's policies, if not modified, will also interfere with, if not stop, the land exchange and related benefits between Castle & Cooke and the Kern County Water Agency in the western part of the Bakersfield metropolitan area. While there is separate consideration being given to that specific issue, it represents only a small part of the Sphere change that we desire to initiate. I wish to formally appeal Mr. Turpin's decision and would appreciate your advice about how we go about making such an appeal to the LAFCO Board.

By RALPH BAILEY JR. Calilomian correspondent Locks on the sales tag bins in Kern County cities remain firmly Clt � ices hocke � deal ► Bakersfield secured., much to the chagrin of the county and to the o eat relief of area city officials. The Delano City Conncil on Mon- day rejected a county proposalthat would have redistributed its take of property tas revenue and would have, for the first time in Kern County history, forced the city to give up a percentage of their month- ly sales tau revenue. City officials in Bakersfield and Delano say they believe the prece- dent would certainly have spread throughout the county. "Had the city of Delano relented, this would have meant a loss of millions of dollars throughout Kern County," said Bakersfield Assistant City Manager John Stinson, who specWated Bakersfield could have lost more than a1.3 million annually. As part of an annexation agree- ment with the city of Delano, the county was seeking to renegotiate a property tag split that historically provided Delano 49 percent of the tages generated by city property. When Delano officials sought to annex the 160-acre Almond Tree Village property more than a year ago, they were informeci the county wanted an 80i20 split favoring the county or a 60i40 arrangement tied to the county receiving 5 percent of the 1 percent sales tag cities receive monthly. "It is completely unprecedented in Kern County and will not stop here," said Delano City Manager Arturo de la Cerda. "This is a cheap money grab that should not and cannot be tolerated." Yet, County Administrative Offi• cer Joe Drew, scheduled to meel with Delano Mayor Arthur Armen• dariz today, said the county ha: negotiated in good faith and has tendered reasonable offers to Kern cities. "We have demonstrated conclu- sively that there is an inequity in the current situation," Drew said, adding he believed a change in the tag split is inevitable. ►Please turn to SALES TAX 1 B2 Schools Cille� 1S u for p new 'ob � ► Local trustee e it �t can maKe some cnanges rronc auor. -- — -- -- -- �xploratory' SALES .TAX: Kern's chief officer defends plan on dis tribution tt'S my r�derstanding he 7�jares) is their o. 1 cundidate, ►�d they want an zportunit� to r►teet ith local people.

They are currenUy bringing in mil- lions of dollars of sales tax from residents. Almost half don't reside in the city," Drew said. "Some of the unincorporated areas are nearly as large as Bakersfield itself. Those areas, along with Lamont and Arvin, make up more than half their annual sales tag revenue." Of the 7.5 percent sales taa levied on commercial goods by the state, each city receives 1 percent collected within the city: Drew said he believes the basis by which ciUes receive these funds should be altered by the statc. •,Sales taa should be establlshed based on population," he said. Stinson addressed the Delano City Council Monday. Armed with a detailed financial report, which cit- ed the potential financial loss, Stin- son strongly urged the council to balk at the new proposal, which it did. "Over the neat 20 years this could cost the city of Delano more than =3 million," Stinson said. "This kind of thing could completely dev- astate city budgets throughout the county. If we allow the county to set this precedent, you can count on the state following not too far behind." Annually, Stinson estimated the new county proposal would have cost Delano more than 5190,000 in sales taa revenue and #1.4 million in property taa. Only a handfui of communities, such as California City, allow the state to share its sales tax revenue, which is normally a financial boon due to its ability to keep pace with inflation. "Clearly, we are a unique situa- tion," said California City Finance D'uector Terry tiicks. "Our reve- nues are priTnarIly generated by pmperty taaes, so the idea of shar- Ing sales taa is not that big an issue here." California GYty generates about �840,000 a year in property taa and =120;000 in sales tas. Yet the county, which has al- lowed California City to enjoy a 55i45 majority of property taa in- come, is now seeking to renegotiate to the tune of 80i20 in the county's favor. "Again, we are in a unique situation," Hicks insisted. "We might be able to live with an 80i20 split, because any type of land we annea would be raw desert area ... we'd be talking about a split of about �5,000, so it's really not that great an issue." Other cities whlch depend on sales tag and a large chunk of their property taa to provide public safe- ty service and parh and recreation funding say they will forgo annea- ation to preserve their current tax allotment. "We have no intention of sharing our sales taa," said Taft City Man- ager Eric Zeigler. "This is essen- tially state theft of city revenues, and the cities of Kern County raust come together on this issue. "We have to make people under- stand that if state government dis- appeared, their lives would not drastically change. They still would know where to send their kids to school, or where to call for help in case of crime or who to call to get their roads paved. "ICs just ridicWous that the level of government that taaes the most and seeks the most amount of mon- ey from lower level government entities provldes the least amount of services," Zeigler said. Fresno and Ventura are two counties that have relented. "I don't know if I would hold up Fresno County as an eaample of what this type of sharing would create," Stinson said. "If you've seen Fresno lately you know that they are esperiencing a terrlble time coming up with public safety money and funds for their infra- structure." Drew said the County Board of Supervisors will continue to negoti- ate with Delano and other cities contemplating annexation.

The property underlying the museum is owned in fee by the City without restriction. It is conceivable, therefore, to deed such property, including the building thereon, to the Bakersfield Art Foundation upon its agreeing that the land and any building(s) thereon would be used solely as a municipal art gallsry/museum. If the Foundation were to breach this restriction, the land, buildings, and any improvements would revert to the City's ownership for use as it so wished. Upon acceptance of title by the Bakersfield Art Foundation, the City would no longer be responsible for care or maintenance of either the land or building(s). Obviously, the legal ramifications/intricacies of this possible action would need to be fully explored before being given serious consideration. It is unlikely that the property could be given outright to the Foundation, as that would be considered a gift of public funds. The City would have to be assured that the land and buildings would be used for the greater good of the community, such as use as a municipal art gallery/museum, before any such possibility could be advanced. Many of the answers to questions you have raised are tied directly to the current lease the Bakersfield Art Foundation has with the City. Specifically, reorienting the building to 19th Street would require the approval by the City of all plans for improvement and costs of such reorientation would have to be born by the Foundation and maintained at no cost to the City. Expansion of the museum grounds would also call for changes in the present lease agreement. The restriction on the charging of fees for admission and events in your current lease (Paragraph 3.B) is based on Municipal Code Chapter 2.56.030. Section C specifically mentions that policies governing the management, operation, maintenance or regulation of the gallery or museum shall be consistent with the lease agreement approved by the council. Changes in the Municipal Code can be promulgated by Council approval. Per our City Attorney's Office, Section 12.56.240 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code addresses sales in public parks. It prohibits any sales by other than a charitable or nonprofit entity. If the Foundation is to receive the proceeds of the sales, then it may be permitted to sell items in the Museum. It must, however, obtain an exclusive use permit and a city business license. If it is to be a fundraising event, the Foundation must also obtain the approval of the City Manager.

In order to change an ordinance, specific steps are taken, including the holding of public hearings on matters of citywide concern. Before recommending changes in ordinances, an assessment of the impacts of those changes upon the entire community must be made in order to avoid unintended consequences. It is my understanding that Trudy Slater has been working with you to find acceptable solutions to the problem of transients negatively affecting Museum activities. At your request, on March 23t 1994 the City Council extended the lease with the Foundation until July 17, 1995 to allow the board to determine future growth directions. To open negotiations for lease renewal at this time, you will need to provide the City with your specific requests, for consideration during the negotiation process. � The City has been pleased with the Bakersfield Art Foundation's stewardship of the Bakersfield Museum of Art both in attaining national accreditation and in holding several outstanding exhibits. It is clear that the Foundation has demonstrated a continuing ability to utilize the building and grounds at 1930 "R" Street as a viable municipal art gallery. Please feel free to contact Trudy or me should you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM Alan Tandy, City Manager Steve Brummer, Chie£ of Police October 12, 1994 Police Staffing for Union Avenue #10 Annexation In review of police staffing needs for the anticipated annexation of Union Avenue #10, a matter of concern has arisen relative to the impact service demands in this area will have on other areas of the City. I cannot, with any certainty, ensure that no adverse effects will occur, particularly in light of continued increases in calls for service throughout the City. As you are probably aware, the request for four sworn officer positions for Union Avenue #10 was based, in part, on research conducted in October, 1992, proposing 4.1 sworn positions for that area. The area studied did not, however, include any properties south of Brundage Lane. In addition, the rate of reported serious crime in the annexation area continues to increase, and will have a certain short term impact on staffing designated for the area. In order to provide more acceptable service levels, while mitigating the adverse impacts on other areas of the City, I am recommending the addition of two (2) sworn positions to accommodate the area south of Brundage Lane. The additional positions will reduce the likelihood that police services elsewhere in the City will be adversely affected by the annexation, particularly during the period of transition of the area from county to city jurisdiction.

As you know over the past year this department has obtained grants, reimbursements, and other revenue sources for the City of Bakersfield. However, based on our current budget practices with respect to revenues within the general fund that effort is not noted. Some examples of grants or other revenue sources obtained by staff is as follows: 1) $ 3, 500 grant 2) $2,500 grant 3) 4) $90,000 grant $13,125 yrant (General Fund) from Walmart to fund a marketing plan at the Bakersfield Municipal Airpark. (General Fund) from Pacific, Gas and Electric to fund the Mayor's Employer/Retention Survey. (CDBG Fund) for improvements at the Homeless Center. (CDBG Fund) for transportation and supervision of the VISTA program. 5) 52500 (General Fund) from Cal State Bakersfield for staff time in partial reimbursement support of roll in the 1993 Basic Economic Development Course. 6) 5845 reimbursement (General Fund) from Klein Wegis for payment of filing fees for the Tree Foundation. , .. `� .� , .. _.�-, �-; .

(The City also received a laser jet printer valued at S1400). 8) 53,500 (General Fund) from Wal-Mart to implement marketing plan for Bakersfield Business Port. 9) 5525 reimbursement (General Fund) from CAEZ for an intern and materials for production of newsletter. Total: S 1 19,005 Since many of these items are funded out of the General Fund and the revenue or reimbursement is put back in the General Fund there is no way for the City to recognize this department's efforts with regard to its ability to obtain revenue to fund a portion of our operations.

This letter is to confirm our telephone discussion and document the understanding we reached. You advised me that you were recently misinformed in regard to the need for permits for holding concerts at Mesa Marin. You indicated that although you had been told by Jim Eggert that you were required to have a new permit prior to holding any concerts at your Mesa Marin facility, when you attempted to pick izp the application for such new permit, someone at the desk mistakenly advised you that you did not need the permit. For that reason you failed to obtain the proper permit prior to holding a concert at the Mesa Marin facility. You informed me that you now understood that you were, in fact, required to apply for and obtain a Conditional Use Permit prior to conducting any concerts at your Mesa Marin facility and further that you were presently in the process of applying for and working to obtain the necessary concert permits as well as workirig with Jack Hardesty, Planning Director, to come into compliance with your current Conditional Use Permit for raeing operations. Please understand that you will need to continue to work with Mr. Hardesty and that the hearing on your current Conditional Use Permit remains scheduled for December 14, 1994. I hope you will be able to resolve those issues priar to that date. If there is anything I can do to assist you in bringing your facility into compliance before that date, please do not hesitate to telephone.

Mr. Collins called me appro�rimately three weeks before his last concert and wanted to know if he could hold a concert in conjunction with a racing event. He had indicated that he was going to have a band play at the conclusion of the race for about 45 minutes sunilar to when they do barbecues or fireworks shows as part of a racing event. He stated that there would not be separate sales of tickets for the concert or additionaI seating provided in the infield. I was not informed of who was going to perform. I stated that the conditional use permit reiating to concerts had eacpired; however, it was noted that the permit did not address instances where an event would be incidental to the race where it was held either after or in-between races. The CUP only looked at separate events not part of a race. I directed hun to the Business License department regarding an outdoor festival permit since it seemed that was an option available for anyone wanting to hold an outdoor concert and did not hear from him again on this issue. I found out about a week prior to the concert that the Business License departrnent determined a permit was not required since the concert was less than four hours in duration and there was fixed seating. TO: �i� SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM October 17, 1994 Alan Tandy, City Manager Jack Hardisty, Planning Ordinance regarding change�•fo the senior citizen zoning in Kern City The Kern City Homeowners Association submitted a letter to the City Council at their meeting held June 15, 1994, regarding their desire to amend the senior citizen (SC) zoning that applies to most of the Kern City area. The item was referred to the Planning Commission who formed a Zoning Ordinance Committee to examine the proposed changes and to forward a recommendation back to the Council. After three meetings with the Zoning Ordinance Committee which included one meeting at Kern City to hear resident's concerns, the Committee found that many of the residents were not familiar with the changes being proposed by their homeowners association and therefore, suggested that the association board first gain a general consensus from the residents and then bring back a unified proposal to the Planning Commission. At that time, ihe Planning Commission would reconvene the Zoning Committee and have them, including the City Attorney, meet with the homeowners association board before formally bringing a proposal before the full Commission and City Council to ensure any changes comply with state and federal laws concerning senior citizens. A copy of the minutes of the Zoning Ordinance Committee are attached for your information. �j v��� r�;�� � i� 41 �'� OCi I 9 IRq4 �; �� +, ��-�_- : -. _ - - , I, ������ ��F��.��f��� =� ��._ -,..-- - = MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING ZONING ORDINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD Held Thursday, August 18, 1994, 12:00 p.m., Development Services Building, 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, California. 1.

NEW BUSINESS - REFERRAL BY COUNCIL OF SENIOR CITTZEN ZONING ISSUE - Pag,e 2 Mr. Hardisty briefed the committee on the issue brought before the City Council regarding age restrictions and residency at Kern City. The committee discussed the differences of the City's Senior Citizen (SC) zone and the conditions, covenants and restrictions (C.C:&R.'s) recorded for tracts in Kern City. It was noted that C.C.&R.'s are different for each tract or non- existent in some cases. It was thought that many of the C.C.&R.'s will or have also expired. Ms. Marino explained that the city's ordinance is not enforced due to the difficulty in confirming actual residents verses visitors which would result in much paperwork due to having proper docamentation. Concern was also noted �regarding privacy laws. The homeowner's association was encouraged to pursue changes to the C.C.&R.'s so that they were consistent throughout Kern City and residents would then enforce through the association. Commissioner Brady requested a selection of typical C.C.&R.'s from Kern City. Mr. Hardisty stated that a workshop should be held in Kem City to. help define the issues and get input from residents. Notice of this meering would be noted in the Kern City newsletter through Mr. Bybee in addition to normal procedure. Commissioner Marino moved with second by Commissioner Brady to adopt Mr. Hardisty's workshop idea to be held at the August 31, 1994 meeting. This - meeting would also be held at the Kern City Community Center at 4:00 p.m., with. staff to coordinate making arrangements for use of the center. The motion passed by a unanimous vote. 5.

NEW BUSINESS - RESCHEDULING OF MEETING AT KERN CITY Mr. Eggert informed the committee members that the special meeting was called in order to change the August 31, 1994 workshop to be held at Kern City. Mr. Joe Bybee, who had been assisting staff with coordinating this workshop, informed staff ihat the town hall building wouid not be avaiiable for the scheduled date and asked if it could be changed. Mr. Eggert provided the committee members alternative dates of when the town hall would be available from Mr. Bybee. Mr. Brady moved�and it was seconded by Mr. Marino to reschedule the workshop from August 31, 1994 to August 29,. 1994, at 4:00 p.m. at the Kern City Town Hall located at 1003 Pebble Beach Drive.

MINUTES � ZONING ORDINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD Held Thursday, August 29, 1994, Kern City Town Hall (1003 Pebble Beach Drive), Bakersfield, California. l. ROLL CALL COMMISSIONERS: STAFF: Present: Present: KEN HERSH, Chairperson JIM MARINO MATHEW BRADY (Arrived at 4:43 p.m.) LAURA MARINO, Assistant City Attorney JIM EGGERT, Principal Planner Chairman Hersh called the meeting to order at 4:05 p.m. He briefly explained that the purpose of the meeting was to collect. information/opinion from residents in the Kern City area regarding changes to the SC (Senior Citizen) zone district proposed by the Kern City Homeowner's Association. The homeowner's association had sent a letter to the City Council requesting changes be made to the ordinance regarding the length of stay of house guests. Chairman Hersh opened discussion to the residents. There was some initiaI confusion that the meeting was to discuss the status of the Kem County Superintendent of Schools building. Staff clarified that this was not part of the discussion. Questions/comments continued, with the following issues identified: Is change necessary or should existing rules be better enforced? GC.&R.'s of some areas of Kern City are more restrictive than the city. Should C.C.&R.'s be amended to be consistent throughout all tracts in Kem City and let association and residents enforce instead of rely on the City? City has had no complaints of violations to existing ordinance since the SC zone became effective; therefore, what pxompted the homeowner's association to request a change to the ordinance? Minutes, Zoning Ordinance Committee, 8/29/94 a e2 The existing house guest provisions were originally proposed by Kern City representatives so that a non-senior citizen could house- sit in the event the resident took an extended leave. The proposed amendment could eluninate this option, plus it may adversely affect visits by resident's children, situations where care is needed (i.e., - disability, etc.) to a non-senior citizen, or other such circumstances where a non-senior citizen must stay at the residence for an extended period of tune. Chauman Hersh noted that based on the comments heard, residents may need to become better informed of what was being proposed. Therefore, it was suggested that the Kern City Homeowner's Association propose their changes to the residents and gain a general consensus from them, then bring back the fi.nal to the committee. At that ti.me the committee and City Attorney's Office may wish to meet with the association board before formally bringing a proposal before the full commission to ensure any changes comply with State and Federal laws. 2.

I. INTRODUCTION '��LI INC WZI Inc. (WZI) has conducted a Phase I/Phase II environmental site assessment for Bear Mountain Limited 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 immediatety 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 Limited and is based, in part, upon documents, writings, and information owned and possessed by Bear Mountain Limited. 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.

SUMMARY AND CO.NCLUSIONS Based on the Phase I/Phase II investigation of the Project Construction Boundary and the Construction Laydown Area identified by Bear Mountain Limited, the foilowing 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 icientified some buried metal objects and buried pipelines. • Potentia! 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 Oii 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 � � WZ� �rvc � ill. 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 apprvximate eighty (80) acre parcel (Exhibit 2). The mineral rights are owned by Oxy USA and Bear Mountain Limited 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 properry 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. Site History/Aerial Photograph Review 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 � � rrLl INC • One north-south unpaved road which goes through the middle of the property. • Power lines and associated roads at the east edge of the properiy. 1957 Oil field development is present: • 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. • Typical surface improvements associated with an operating oil field are present south and east of the Project Construction Boundary and the Construction Laydown Area. � � The north-south road through the middle of the property is no longer visible. • Roads servicing power lines in the 1937 photo are no longer visible. One road, located east of the previous roads, services the power lines. • A new road (northwest-southeast trending) from the middle north edge of the property is visible 1975 Oil field development: 16010070.071 • The five oil wells present in the 1957 photograph are still visible. • Typical oil field improvements remain visible. • Roads are in similar locations. • The northwest corner of the Project Construction Boundary shows disturbances due to a suspected gravel quarry. • Various surface disturbances to the south of the Project Construction Boundary appear to be Page 5 motorcycle trails and areas where soil was disturbed. • China Grade Landfill north of the parcel shows extensive disturbance. WZI INC 1981 A radio transmission tower is located south of the Project Construction Boundary. • Oil field surface activities show little change since 1975. 1989 No significant changes in appearance. Current Site Description The approximate 10.67 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. Requlatory Compliance 16010070.071 Page 6 � WZ� irvc Environmentai 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." 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 pfate, 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 � �Z� �Nc Geolo_gv/Hydroloqy 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 properry is located within the Kern Bluff Oil Field. The structure of the Kern Bluff field is a faulted homocline 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 "heavy oil" 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 (SWA� 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 � lNZI INC Parkford US Lease #22 at a depth of 470 feet, equivalent to the Kern River Formation. This weli 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 focations had concentrations of toluene of 19 to 51 Ng/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 11 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 Limited, 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 matecial 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 � a rrLl INC 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 �eld 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 identi�ed efectromagnetic 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 signifieant. 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 WZ� irvc 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 Limited 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 10 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, totaf petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel, and toluene in levels that are above background levels. None of these Values exceed California Leaking 16010070.071 Page 11 lJVZI � N C Underground Fuel Tank (LUF� 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. � n 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 Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, total xylene Total petroleum hydrocarbons-diesel Oil and grease Methodoloav EPA Method 8020 Modif+ed EPA Method 8015 EPA Method 413.1 16010070.071 Page 12 � > rrLl INC 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 , � � .

In reviewing this with Kern Delta Water District (the owner of the Eastside canal), they agreed to contact the owner of the billboard sign (3-M Company) and arrange to have it removed when the canal was shut down for winter maintenance. In our follow-up contact with Kern Delta this week, both sections of the "V" shaped billboard and support structure will be removed by 3-M Company during November (ne� month), prior to Thanksgiving Holiday. It turns out that this old billboard was constructed sometune prior to World War II. If you need any further information on this item, please call.

As proposed, the amended agreement would exempt only Mr. William Alexander, Jr., from the agreed-upon requirements. There appears to be little justification for this exemption as written. Consequently, the amended agreement would establish an unjustified precedent which would lead to similar requests for exemption from other property owners within the Kern River Designated Floodway. We believe that, at a minimum, the City should perform a hydraulic analysis to justify amendment of the original agreement. Also it should be recognized that the Baard, as a general policy, does not permit structures for human habitation within designated floodways. We therefore cannot support the request for amendment. If you still wish to take your request to the Board you should consider preparing a hydraulic study to show a reason why the original decision of the Board and City should be changed to allow additional development within this section of the Kern River Designated Floodway. Please inform us if and when you wish your request to be. considered by the Board so that we can arrange for the date of the public meeting. For further information, you may contact�Donald Jackson at the above address or telephone (916) 653-0402. Sincerely, ��� Raymond E.

ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FROM: STEPHEN L. WALKER, TRAFFIC ENGINEER ✓�� L� � SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL # 14033, REQUEST FOR CROSSWALK AT OCCIDENTAL AND UNIVERSTI'Y INTERSEC'I'ION. Received 10/18/94 Council Referral: "Smith referred to Public Works the issue of street resurfacing that was done near the Occidental/University area which eliminated the crosswalk; Pedestiian crossircg from the college needs a crosswall� there is no street light and it is darl� ****This i.ssue is urgent and needs to taken care of immediately****" The issue of the crosswalk has already been resolved. A resident of the area had already contacted the Traffic Engineering division, prior to our receipt of the Council referral, to request a crosswalk. The resident's request was investigated and a work order was processed. The crosswalk and related marldngs and signs will be installed by the General Services division. In compliance with the Council's request, General Services will be asked to schedule it as soon as possible. The request for street lighting will be forwarded to the General Services division for their response since requests for non-safety street lighting does not involve Traffic Engineering. No additional action/response to the crosswalk request referral is required. Background Information: University Avenue was repaved a few years ago. At that time, the crosswalk that had been at the Occidental intersection was not repainted since the Public Works Department practice was to not repaint crosswalks at uncontrolled intersections unless there was a need for the crosswalk. Most all of the pedestrian usage occurred at the signalized intersection of University and Mt. Vernon and there was not a need to repaint the crosswalk until now. cc: Fred Kloepper, Assistant Public Works Director Traffic Engineering F'ile - City Council Referral #14033, Occidental/University x-walk .� ae.�r.a►��.ma.� a.,'.a�,..�wiZ,r�io-"�ti-� �c;.`.-�'� �:��?..�?��� ..��.n�yi;' .r •"'.. • � �- - � ..,';.- � � . _ � . . � .. . � e.. .. . . . . . , . , . .. .. _ :�. � . . � . . . . - ` M - CITY COUNCIL REFERRAL � . • . - MEETTNG OF: 10/12/94 REFERRED TO: PUBLIC WORKS R ROJAS ITEM: RECORD# 14033 Crosswalk at Occidental and Universitv. !Smith?

Salvaggio requested city staff to investigate a possible hazardous situation of a(hot tar) trailer being parked in front of 6205 Castlepoint, near daycare homes . Department action/response: The Traffic Section, after several unsuccessful attempts to locate the hot tar trailer on Castlepoint, made contact with the owner of the trailer on October 12, 1994. He is identified as James Irwin, 6205 Castlepoint, 836-1774. Mr. Irwin indicated that he had been parking his trailer on the street for several years , vvithout any complaints from his neighbors . He v►tas advised that his trailer would require a special construction license before he could transport i.t on t�e roadway. He was further advised that the trailer could not legally be parked on the roadway because it was not registered. Mr. Irwin was informed that the parking of the trailer on the roadway with hot tar in it would constitute a public hazard and criminal prosecution was possible . Mr . Irwin agreed to move the trailer out of the neighborhood as soon as possible. District traffic officers will continue to monitor the parking in front of the residence and will handle any violations accordingly. On September 28, 1994, City Council Member Randy Rowles requested city staff to provide additional traffic enforcement on Bermuda Street and Camino Del Qeste. Department action/ response: The Traffic Section utilized the S. M. A. R. T. trailer on October 10, 1994, at 0800 hours, until appro�ately 1900 hours, in response to a speeding inquiry.on Bermuda Street. 2he traffic volume on Bermuda increases in the morning and evening hours by commuters who do not reside in the neighborhood . Traffic officers were notified to monitor the area as much as possible and to strictly enforce the posted speed limits . The city traffic engineers office was contacted and a speed survey will be conducted on Bermuda, as soon as possible. In response to the speeding problem on Camino Del Oeste, the street is a 25 m.p.h. residential street. The street is bordered by Stockdale School on the east side. The S. M. A. R. T. trailer was utilized in the 700 block of Camino Del Oeste on October 13 , 1994. The traffic volume on Camino De1 Oeste is very light until parents drop off and pick up their children for school. District officers have been notified of the complaints, and radar enforcement will be conducted as calls for service permit. ..... ��. . . .................... A. L.

A speed limit study has been placed on our work schedule for this location and data should be collected within the next week to 10 days. Once data on the speeds of this street are collected, we will analyze them and make a recommendation. For your information and use, the last speed study covering this segment of roadway was made about 3 years ago in June, 1991. Per the California Vehicle Code, we are required to perform a new study every five years in order to enforce the speed limit with radar. In the previous 1991 study, the speed was determined to be 35 MPH based on the 85th percentile speed of 37.50 MPH. The law allows the calculated speed to be lowered 5 MPH if adequate engineering justification is documented. In this case, the speed was further lowered to 30 MPH on the justification that it is a residential area. The cunent posted speed for Flower, between Alta Vista Drive and Baker Street is 30 MPH. cc: Fred HIoepper, Assistant Public Works Director Bruce Deeter, CE III, Tr�c Engineering Brad Underwood, CE III, Tr�c Engineering PW Memo Files Tr�c Engineering File - Flower Street Speed Study slw+: p:\wp\1994\FlwrSped.Mem - �- � . � w � � PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMIT ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY City of Bakersfield Department of Public Works ROADWAY: FLOWER STREET LIMITS OF SPEED SURVEY: BEALE TO ALTA VISTA DATE: 6/12/91 TIME BEGIN: 1605 TIME END: 1646 EXISTING SPEED LIMIT: 30 OBSERVER: EM, ENGINEERING AIDE I PREVAILING SPEEDS MEAN SPEED 85TH PERCENTILE SPEED PACE WEATHER: SUNNY AND CLEAR 31.80 �3 � �� � 27-37 TWO YEAR HISTORY OF ACCIDENT RECORDS: NOT A FACTOR UNUSUAL CONDITIONS NOT READILY APPARENT: RESIDENTIAL AREA In accordance with methods determined by Section 8-03.3B, sub-sections 2.a through 2.c, of the California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual and as required by Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code, I recommend the following to be the safe enforceable speed limit for the above section of roadway: RECOMMENDED SPEED LIMIT,I 3 ��p�rESSlp�yq� ��Q��N l.

The intersection was studied for possible added traffic controls and operational improvements. The intersection does not meet any of the warrants for a multi-way stop. Only two accidents reported to the Bakersfield Police Department during the last 12 months were in the intersection and of a type that might not have occuned with stop signs. The intersection does meet one out of eleven traffic wanants for traffic signals. The wanant is based on traffic volumes during the four peak hours of a day. This was due, in part, to the recent opening of the new Superintendent of Schools office one block south at 18th and L Street. None of the other ten traffic signal warrants for volume, delay or accidents were met. Since at least one wanant for a traffic signal was met, the location was added to our priority list of future traffic signal projects for consideration in the next available Capital Improvements Projects budget (1995-96 fiscal year). cc: Fred Kloepper, Assistant Public Works Director Bruce Deeter, CE III, Traffic Engineering Brad Underwood, CE III, Traffic Engineering PW Memo Files Tr�c Engineering File - 19th and L Streets slw: d:\wp\1994U @19Updt.Mun _ — Time Warner Cable Bakersfield Division 4 o Ga � c� a Q a� Q ¢ a a a � October 17, 1994 Mr. Alan Tandy, City Manager City of Bakersfield - - - - 1-501 Tr-uxtu-n Ave�u�e� -=_-: ._. -:.,_ _.�„�_.� . � �..,-� �...,�,_ , _ .., Bakersfield, CA 93:301 Dear Mr. Tandy: � u��� \A�L�% —� _�..��.�-- - _-_ �,i , i;� � i � �99Q. � � ---� ;I �9� 6�41i��rl�.���°� ����(��'�I Section 9° of`the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Federal Communications Commission to collect fees from cable television systems on an annual basis.

This is expected to lower eiectric rates. The CPUC hearing in your area will be: Tuesday - November 1- 7 p.m., Bakersfieid City Council Chambers - 1501 Truxtun Avenue The CPUC proposes to allow customers to buy electricity from any supplier including local utilities starting with large industrial ciastomers in 1996. AI! customers including residential would have this choice by 2002. Anyone who does not speak English and would like to speak at the hearing should call the CPUC Public Advisor at 415-703- 2074 by Qctober 25 to request an interpreter.

Y<<_= -. -- .. � ,�_�` :a `� CAL��O�I�1�� �'�J�LIC �ILI'�'IES COI�I�I��ION 1'ropo�al to Change Electric Utility IZegulation 'The electric indus�y is undergoing great change in response to new federal law a�d ne�v technology. Al�o, California's electric rates �re much higher than ihe national average. In response to this, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has issued a proposai to chan�e t�� way it re�ulates the elecfi.ric industry in CaliFornia. The goals are to lowes� electr�ic rates and provide consusners with a choice of electr�icity suppliers. The Comrnission believes that lower rates and competition among many electricity suppliers will create more jobs and improve California's economic strength, and ability to compete with other states and countries. ��� �s �.f��c��c�� If implemented, the proposal woulci affect all industrial, agricultural, commercial, and residential electricity consumers and Pacific Gas & Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, Sierra Pacific, and Pacific Power and Light. Under the proposal, consumers would be able to purchase electricity from any supplier including their local electric utility so they could choose the best price and services to meet their needs. This should callow businesses to lower theip costs by using less electricity or usang it at a tame of day whett it costs less, r�nd indaviduals to �°�duce tl�ear sraor�thIy el�ctt°ic bill. Target Dates The largest industrial customers would have this "direct access" to electricity suppliers beginning in 1996, and all commercial customers in 1999. By 2002, all consumers, including residential consumexs, would have direct access. Concerns have been expressed regarding direct access. Sorne people have argued that direct access would compromise the state's environmental goals by reducing government encouragement of electric generation that is environmentally sensitive and by reducing the incentives for customers to �- conserve energy. Others are concerned that the quality of service may not continue to be as high as it is now. Comments Welcome To address these concerns, the CPUC is asking for comments and proposals from consumer groups, environmental groups, utilities and other industry participants. The Commission intenc�s to continue to assure utility eleciric service is saf�, reliable, reasonably priced and responsive to environmental concerns under any regulatory program. 1lTew Rate��lcin� Syst�m In addition to proposing direct access, the Commassion has proposed a neza� za�ay of setting utility rates called "performance- ' based ratemaking." This would eliminate long, cornplex and costly rate cases to determine rates based on the reasonableness of utility operating expenses. Instead, utility rates would change using a formula that would reflect inflation, how efficient a utility is in producing and providing electric service, � � and other factors affecting u�.i��� ��st�. The Commission believes that under performance- based regulation, a utilify has more incentive to be efficient and make good business decisions and invest»aents because it is responsible for recovering the costs of its decisions and investrnents—it can't look to the CPUC to authorize recovery of those costs in rates. However, the Commission would oversee utility activity to assure ut�afi��� c�alfinue fa p��vide high quality service. The CPUC already uses this kind of regulation to set Pacific Bell and GTEC phone rates, and believes it has been successful in keeping rates low. Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern Califomia Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric have responded to the Commission's interest in performance-based ratemaking by submitting � i::,�,:��� proposals which the CC3IT'tlYiiS51�i11� CL1�3['�i1�Y reviewing. The CPUC is holding public participation hearings in November to hear what you think about direct access and performance-based ratemaking. Your pariicipation in these hearings will help the CPUC evaluate and refine its proposal. CPLJC Public Participaiion Hearing Scheclule BAKEItSFIEL.D I�Tove�ber 1 7 p.nn.

Existing law authorizes the governing body of a city or county to propose the designation of areas within its respective jurisdiction as enterprise zones based upon specified findings that those areas aze depressed areas and in need of private sector investment. The Trade and Commerce Agency is authorized to designate by DecembPr 1991 not more than 25 enterprise zones within the state based on its determination that the zones propose the most effective, innovative, and comprehensive regulatory tax program, and other incentives in attracting private sector investment in the zones proposed. The agency is also authorized 'to designate 2 enterprise zones from applications by cities with a population less than 25,000. The existing Personal Income Tax Law and the Bank and Corporation Tax Law authorize various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws, including wages paid or incuned by an employer to a qualified disadvantaged individual who meets specified criteria. The criteria include being hired by the employer after the designation of the azea in which services were performed as an enterprise zone. This bill would require the agency to designate 2 additional enterprise zones that meet prescribed criteria. 'This bill would extend the existing tax credits to the 2 additional enterprise zones designated by the agency pursuant to these provisions. The bill would also . require the agency to review the progress and effectiveness of each enterprise zone, as specified, and report its findings to the Legislature. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Section 7073 of the Government Code is amended to read: 7073. (a) The governing body of any city or county may, either by ordinance or resolution, propose an eligible area plus one commercial or industrial area or both wiChin its respective jurisdicrion as the geographic area for an enterprise zone.
