The pre-app� � �at ;�� u:.�ume;; �s are ;.w ��o; �h� ��r� Art ;-�r � me �2g � s' ati an a � the federal levzl. 1�'e have reason to bei�eve that we can obtain seven �7) additiona� Folice Officers From th�s source. P�zase �ee t�e enclosed documents for details. This one �ontains {ewer strirgs than the grants from last year. It still wouid require that we begin picking up substant�a� af the co�ts i� the t��rd year �� the grant pro�r�am. How2ver, I do not 5elieve ther� is anythi�g that would force us not to downsize at that time if financial conditions dictated that. I have authorized the Cnief of Po��e to �o tt�e first stage application. As we get more �nf�rmat;on, Lve will, of course, go back to Counci� for authorization. 2. Th� Department Head retreat was valuable. We worked on firming up goals f�r inclusion in �he budget and a� amplification of the �ouncil established �oals. '�le decided to iritiate a personnel streamlin�ng project to s�mp�ify some of our very complex, time-consuming and cumbersome processes. We are looking at pay-for-performance and a reward program from employees. There was a good deal af in depth review and d�scussion about organizational needs and how to deal with them. Overall, it was very beneficial. 3. We will be look�ng tor an aaditor �o work on a percentage basis to help us ctieck the valid�ty af property and sales tax as fi12d in Kern County. This might be a way of raising revenues without substantial cost. It has worked succe�sfu�l;� fo� the C�ty in the past. 4. Yoa have probably r2ad in the newspaper, De;an� �aved �n an the tax sp'it. ihey accepted one annexation at the 70�o-3G9'o ievel. We will be pressured on that also. �tie meet�ng o� the CA� iri�h �he City Managers group is scheduled far rext rveelc. 5. An idea of the week. in about two weeks we should have the site r�ecommendati on and cost i ssues fr�m the consul tant on the basebal 1 stad � um. As you know, we cculd add or a fee per ticket but that will not pay for �he full faciiity. Individual members of Council have commented on wanting to s�e an election. Ott�ers m�ght cans��2r ��ng a protest hearing process for ar ass�ssment. Perhaps a hybr�d of tl�at that :.auld be corsidered by doing a comprehensive survey of the voters' receptiveness. A combination of a professional survey and the protest hear�ng would save six months and a ccuple of hundr�d thousand dollars necessary to conduct an election. We are working on a draft JPA for the stadium sports complex. This is to set up the ��ty/County partnership tha� would be used for ttie baseball } !n '� i r HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL November 4, 1994 Fage -2- assessment district. We've been asked to put this on your November 16 agenda. It doesn't obligate you to support the project, but it is a step n�cessary to give a project serious consideration. 6. The hotel is progressing well. The internal sheet rock is in on the second floor. They are going through a three-step process on the skin of the exterior to put the stucco finish on. They are doing fireproofing of the steel on the interior. It is generally going well. 7. There is a memo enclosed on efforts to bring the Mesa Marin subject to a a�nicable reso�ution before the t�earing on their CUP scheduled for the Cecember meeting. yopefully ;t car be brought to resolution to avoid a dispute on that subject. 8. �here is a memo enc�osed on Trudy Unger who may �omplain to you about projects out of the Ecorom�c and Community Development Department. 9. It isn't final, but we have two hot prospects of about one hundred fifty employees each that Jake �lager �s working with. They represent different kinds of industry and would be a mix of hiring locally plus importing employees. They would be very nice additions if we can land them. 10. Thei°e �s a�nemo enclosed regarding Ra�l Rojas doing some reorganizing and some reassigni��g of duties in the Public Works Department. The memo describes those changes. 11. There is a memo enclose� that we sent to the County asking how it is they i�tend to �uild trunk sewers in the CSA-71 Service Area. �e� GENINFO_4 -. w� , , .....� � �„�� .Htif��..�. hE ELG ., r, �"� •� �. !rj•. , �3� •'r;, %��.��. ,. :�!� � ; , TO FROM SUBJECT MEMORANDUM Alan Tandy, City Manager S. F. Brummer, Chief of COPS AHSAD Grant Program ice October 28, 1994 On October 27th we received a FAX from the Department of Justice describing a new program under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. The program is entitled COPS AHEAD (,A.ccelera�ed N�ring, Bducation and Deploym�.ent). This program is apparently intended to expedite the approval and implementation process involving the hiring of new police officers for Community Oriented Policing Services. COPS AHEAD provides $225 million for cities over 50,000 population. The following is a list of highlights for this program: 1. Grants are for three years to cover salary and benefits, however can not exceed 75� in one year and may only total $75,000 per officer hired. 2. 3. 4. New officers are to increase the actual sworn force up to a maximum of 3 percent over October, 1994 levels. We must send a letter of intent to the COPS office by November 10, 1994. They intend to confirm applications by November 21, 1994. 5: We will be required to include community policing principles and methods in our training and to complete a fonnal grant application. We will be eligible for a$525,000 grant that would partially fund seven police officer positions. Bakersfields matching funds over the three year period would be $834,533 including $177,613 in the first year (see attached graph). It appears that we will be certain to receive this grant, if the decision is made to provide the matching funds. Hiring could be completed by January 2, 1995 and after the 18 week academy, we would anticipate staffing downtown, Baker Street, Lakeview Avenue and the Valley Plaza with Community Officers assigned to footbeats. This program has some very obvious time constraints which require an immediate decision and action. SEB/JML/vrf �� OCT ?

Box 14440 Washington, D.C. 20044 Date 11/2/94 Date 11 / 2 / 94 MEMORANDUM October 20, 1994 TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: JACK HARDISTY, DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT: MESA MARIN Councilwoman Smith has been meeting with Dean Gay, Jim Nickels and Marion Collins to resolve the issues of Mesa Marin's failure to meet the conditions of its permit. Marion Collins has deferred compliance with the permit conditions that he thought were less important to the track's success. He has agreed to repair the six-foot fence along the western boundary, finish the landscaping, install the traffic directional signs and adopt track rules reducing vehicle noise from 95 dBA to 90 dBA. He does not want to increase the fence height to eight feet nor place slats in the fences. Gay and Nickels are very concerned that the lights and noise will preclude the development and sale of their property which they see is necessary to pay off the sewer assessment bonds. They are especially afraid that the concerts will be even more of a problem than the races. They would like to see the noise standards adhered to. They will accept a si�-foot chainlink fence without slats but want some trees and perhaps shrubs along their property line. If an earthen berm should be needed to reinforce the effectiveness of the fence, they would allow that on their property. They would like the number of events specified and if there is any intensification of the use there should be improvements to better manage the traffic. A periodic review for compliance and adjustment to maintain compatibility with neighbors has also been proposed. If the only outstanding items of non-compliance are the height of the fence, slats and compliance with noise standards, I would suggest that Mesa Marin apply for an amendment to the conditional use permit to change the fence height and remove the slats and that noise readings be conducted next racing season to determine if the noise conditions are met under the new rule. I understand that Mesa Marin is still interested in expansion of the shop building and resumption of concerts. If these proposals are favorably received by the City Council at the December hearing, the hearing could be continued pending consideration of an amendment to Mesa Marin's conditional use permit.

Mrs. Unger's rehab was financed with HOME funds through this office. We also handled the work write-up and contractor selection process for her at her request. The first attempt at bidding this job came on October 28, 1993. 'The contractors were all unable to satisfactorily complete their inspections due to her lack of cooperarion, so the bid was cancelled. Tt�e second time around, the work was bid to five different contractors; The bids ranged from A high of $32,300 to a low of $21,260. Mrs. Unger chose the lowest bid to keep the cost as low as possible. A contract was signed with the low bidder, West Coast Construction, and the rehab commenced. The job progressed well and the iirst two of the four draws were paid on schedule. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Unger began to complain that the work was too expensive and she could not afford the contractor. Attempts to explain that the contract was already signed and the loan was in place, were futile. In May of 1994 we were informed that Mrs. Unger had dismissed West Coast Constructors from the job; Mrs. Unger confirmed the report. When West Coast requested payment for work completed, but not yet paid for, she ignored the request. CD tried to intervene, but she would not respond to our calls either. When she did respond it was to say that the work was too expensive, she was under stress so she could not attend to these matters, or she was being treated unfairly by the City and would take her cause to the City Council, which she did on June 27, 1994. Since that time two certified letters have been mailed to Mrs. Unger offering to settle the matter. West Coast Constructors has even lowered its demand for payment from $4,321 to $3,079. None of these letters has received a response, although the receipt indicates she received them. Left with no other choice, West Coast Constructors took the only option left to it, Small Claims Court. : � 1 To our knowledge, West Coast Constructors fully intends to sue for his money, and a court date is pending. We feel that we have exhausted our resources to help Mrs. Unger and any fwrther intervention on the part of the department would be fruitless. Copies of our correspondence to Mrs. Unger are attached. )R � .......e.�. . r.: � ' i_...._...'_'__�....�_.,._.._�._-.'_. ...__.'__'_—,`__ :Yi. � August 3, 1994 �.

In June, staff was notified that you wished to cancel the contract with West Coast Contractors because he was too expensive and you were unable to afford the payment. West Coast agreed to cance� the contract with you as long as he was compensated (including overhead and profit) for the work comp�eted to that point. City staff has met with Mr. Blackhurst to review the billing dated May 19� 1994, #613 1994 for $4321.

Rojas, Public Works Director DATE: November 1, 1994 SUBJECT: CHANGE IN ASSIGNMENTS Effective Monday, November 7th, the Assistant Public Works Director will be reassigned from his current duties of overseeing the Design, Traffic, and Construction Engineering, to Special Projects and the Wastewater Operations. This change is due to the largest capital undertaking the City will have which is the expansion of the Wastewater Treahnent facilities. It is my feeling that a professional engineer is required to oversee this project because it will significantly affect the City's future Wastewater needs for the nelct 25 to 40 years. Effective Monday, November 7th, Jacques R. LaRochelle, Civil Engineer IV, Stephen L. Walker, Traffic Engineer, and Gerry Claassen, Construction Superintendent, will report directly to the Public Works Director.

It is my understanding that the Technical Advisory Committee has recently begun.that planning process. Section 3.b of the City-County agreement (KC #109-92) provides that the "City shall construct, or cause to be constructed, those trunk sewers found to be necessary ..:'. Obviously, such construction within the unincorporated area will require close coordination and cooperation between our two jurisdictions. Funding is probably the most significant issue involved. Without funding, construction cannot occur. The funding provided in the City County agreement will cover only a small portion of the costs involved. The question needing an answer then is, "How will the County provide funding for necessary sewer trunk construction?" We feel sewering of the CSA 71-City Service Area is critical to the orderly development of the area. May we have your response on this issue at your earliest convenience'?

The complaint maintains that many of the 16,000 highway call boxes in California do not comply with ADA requirements. The final ADA regulations were published in September 1994 and become effective December 1994. NAFlA arcd Your Tmnsportation Fuitds It is estimated that $1 billion is needed for transportation related improvements in California to implement the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It is expected that commercial truck traffic across the U. S./Mexico border will double to an estimated 2 million crossings each year. In order to ensure that Mexican commercial vehicles and drivers meet state standards, border states will be required to inspect these vehicles as they enter the United States. The California Transportation Commission, at the Governor's request, has developed a program that would authorize Caltrans tn enter into agreements with private entities to develop, design, construct, finance, and maintain public transportation projects in the California/Mexico international border region. The� implementation of the California/Mexico transportation program may delay fundv of other transportation projects 3 to 4 years. --; _ _ — _- . � :,_ _ _- - - - - --- ,. _ . -� �_ Route 14 Pmject Dedicated A ten-mile section of Route 14 south of Red Rock Canyon was developed as a result of a public/private partnership between the County of Kern, Caltrans, and a private design firm.

Those in attendance included Richazd Moser and William Dempsey of California City, Lew Wood from Caltrans, and various project personnel. The County of Kern provided design services, Caltrans provided project management services and the construction was completed by a private firm.
