FROM: ALAN TAND , CI Y MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The Bakersfield Oilers' first home game at the Convention Center was a
tremendous success. Over 3,400 people were in attendance last Tuesday.
The crew at the Convention Center went over and above the call of duty to
get the building ready for hockey. T�ey are to be commended for their
extra effort! The game was profitable for both the team and the City.
2. The Kern County City Managers met on the tax split issue this week. We are
going to finalize draft legislation that would remove the County's veto
authority on tax splits. The legislation will go in through the League and
many of the cities will seek sponsors in parallel. A group will also work
with the County Administrative Officer on financial models. If that fails,
reappeal of the Mayors/Councils directly to the Supervisors will be in
order.
3. We have OK'ed the Downtown Business Association to market "free parking" at
the 18th and Eye Parking structure during the week of December 17-24. This
will help attract holiday shoppers to the downtown area.
4. Responses to Council inquiries are enclosed regarding the intersection of
Fairfax and College, and the status of a future traffic signal at Morning
Drive and Niles.
5. The Claims Activity Report for the month of October, from Risk Management,
is enclosed.
6. Construction on the Hotel continues on, or ahead of, schedule. They are up
to about the fourth floor as far as putting on internal sheetrock. Within
a couple of weeks, you will see the final colors begin to appear on
portions of the exterior. They continue to report that they are doing well
in terms of booking future business.
7. We are relisting the Deputy Fire Chief position as there was no final offer
made and accepted from the first pool of candidates. The Solid Waste
Manager position will likely be offered by next week. I should know, more
definitively, the status of that by the 16th.
8. You will find enclosed a letter from the sponsors of the zone change
relative to the Theater complex near East Hills Mall. They are interested
in getting an expedited processing of their delayed zoning approval.

will consult with her as to how best to move the consideration of the
request forward.
9. Raul Rojas and Joe Lozano are in the midst of trying to process the backlog
of materials at the woodwaste/greenwaste site. Good progress is being
made, but the backlog was tremendous so it will take time.
10. Financial underwriters relative to the baseball stadium/sports complex
proposal were in this week to do preliminary work and to gather concepts to
put together a proposal for future Council and County consideration.

DATE: November 16, 1994
TO: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
FROM: STEPHEN L. WALKER, TRAFFIC ENGINEER������ `"
SUBJECT: UPD�'E ON STATUS OF THE INTERSECTION OF FAIRFAX AND
COLLEGE. WARD 3
The intersection of Fairf� and College is currently a 4-way stop sign controlled intersection.
The south leg of the intersection is outside the City limits and maintained by the County.
The other three legs of the intersection are within the City limits and maintained by the
City. The intersection cunently operates satisfactorily as a 4-way stop.
The intersection is warranted for traffic signals. Paving of an additional southbound lane
will be required with the change from a 4-way stop to a traffic actuated signal. The
intersection is one of 30 intersections that meet warrants for new traffic signal controls or
improvements to existing signal controls. Nine of the 30 intersections were funded in the.
current 1994-95 CIP. Those nine intersections had a higher need for new, or upgraded,
signal controls due to high traffic volumes, accidents; speed and other factors.
We will be evaluating the remaining intersections, as well as new intersections, meeting
signal warrants for the upcoming 1995-96 CIP. It is anticipated that this intersection will
rise in priority as new development in the area brings additional traffic.

TO: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
FROM: STEPHEN L. WALKER, TRAFFIC ENGINEER �����%�
SUBJECT: Morning Drive and Niles Street, County and State (SR 184) Intersection,
Status of Future Traffic Signal. Ward 3 Referral.
As requested, I have contacted the County of Kern regarding the status of a County/State
traffic signal for the intersection of State Route 184/Morning/Niles. County Traffic
Engineer Barry Hayslett informs me that CalTrans has a contractor for the signal project
and they expect construction to begin next month, December, pending utility clearances and
arrival of the traffic signal components.
The intersection of Morning Drive and Niles Street is outside the City limits. The closest
City street is about 1/3 mile north of the intersection, adjacent to Stiern Middle School.
The intersection is under the jurisdiction of the State of California (CalTrans) since Morning
Drive and the east extension of Niles (called Kern Canyon Road) are part of State Route
184. The County is participating with the State in the installation of the traffic signal.

This letter is being submitted in response to the concerns raised by the Urban
Development Committee at their October 31, 1994 meeting, and follows the five points
of your letter dated November 3, 1994.
Points 1, 2, 3 and 5 were addressed by Hal Cleveland of the United Artists Theatre
Circuit and are included below.
1. We are not aware of any such "cruising" problems e�sting at the 7-plex in the
mall. United Artists prides itself on a frst class operation and is very concerned
about the safety and comfort of its patrons. We provide security if and when it
becomes necessary as will our landlord in the common.areas. We will always
listen to the community's concerns and pledge to work with the City of
Bakersfield should this become a problem.
��
2. United Artists does not believe that the new theatre will have any negative impacr
whatsoever on the mall or the existing theatre. A film zone is typically defined as
anywhere from eighteen to twenry-five screens, depending on the densiry of the
population. Our seven-plex in the mall has been very successful since it opened in

1989 and continues to improve every year. It is a very clean, well-run theatre, and
is clearly the cinema of choice in Bakersfield. We will continue to book our
existing theatre with first-run product when the new complex opens for business.
We simply cannot presently exhibit all product available from every�film
distributor because we do not have enough screens. Some films play late on the
east side of Bakersfield or, in some instances, not at all. This market also will
support art or foreign films, which cannot be said for many areas of the United
States. The success of an art film underscores the problem with an underscreened
zone. United Artists wishes to protect its investment in this market by building
another complex in addit�on to better serving the residents of Bakers5eld.
3. The results of theatre operations in Bakersfield clearly indicate that this is a very
good theatrical market. Our attendance increased by 15.4% between 1992 and
1993. A review of the demographics within a five-mile radius shows an increase
in population of 20% between 1980 and 1990. The population estimate for 1998
is ± 170,000, or a projected increase of 15.6% over and above 1990. This further
clarifies to us that the area is underscreened and more screens are needed to
properly serve the public. The proposed six-plex on the periphery of the mall will
serve to complement our mall location, not replace it. United Artists has an
obligation on that property until June 30, 2004, and has no intention of walking
away from that responsibility. We do not anticipate any fall-off in attendance in
the seven-plex as a result of the building of the new complex.
4. The schedule of development for the free standing six-plex theater is immediate.
Construction documents have already been filed with the Bakersfield Building
Department, and sitework could begin for the projects as soon as the zoting and
final development plan approvals are granted and a grading permit issued. The
new theater could open for business as early as Summer, 1995.
'I�e schedule of development for the four-plex theater remodei in the East Hills
mall has not been finalized at this time. Construction documents have been
completed for this remodel, and we are still optimistic that construcrion will begin
within the 2 1/2 years stipulated in the condition of approval No. 5 of our Zone
Change No. 4527, as approved by the City of Bakersfield Planning Commission on
August 19, 1993.
5. United Artists and Hahn continue to discuss the feasibility of the four-screen
expansion in the mall. That expansion could eventually become a reality. We
have not discarded our plans to add screens to the mall location and will continue
to discuss this possibility with The Hahn Company. However, the focus has
shifted to the free-standing theatre because it can be developed more quickly than
the remodel and provides larger .auditoriums with bigger screens and generally

enhance the movie-going experience for our patrons. 1�e proposed six-plex will
provide one auditorium of approximately �00 seats, one of 325, and two in excess
of Z00 seats. T'he mall theater expansion will be quite time consuming considering
the number of seats actually being added. The renovation of the present theatre
requires the building of additional restrooms, demolition and remodel of existing
space, moving of utilities, raising the roof, etc. In short, the new free-standing
theatre complex could open �n the su�aner c: 1995 to provide six new screens and
the amenities the public demands wiil allow us better opportunity to move
fotward with the original four-plex expansion without the shutdown of theatre
operations in the existing East Hills c�nter during the remodel process.
We request that you fon�vard this response to members of the Urban Development
Committee and that of required, a second meeting be set with the Committee as soon as
possible. We look forvvard to meeting with you and the Committee to put these matters
to rest so we can move ahead with this project.

During the month of October, I concentrated my efforts on making the community aware of
a11 the facets of our anti-graffiti program. The tools used were: having booths at community
events, doing school presentarions, the Hot-Line, and other sources.
Booths at Community Events
Flyers, balloons, magnets, and erasers were distributed by the hundreds in October. We
participated in the Kern Arts Fest. on October 1 st, the Good Neighbors Fesdval on October 8th,
and the Downtown's Street Fair on the 14th. People of all ages came to our booths. They were
informed of the many ways we all can work together to eliminate the graffiti in our city.
School Presentations.
As mentioned in my last report, I attended a Kern High School District's Activities
Directors Meeting on Oct. 6th. This opened the doors to many partnership opportunities with
the High School-age population. Since that meeting, I have been working with Bakersfield High
School's UMAS club (LTnited Mexican American Students). I coordinated a Paint-Out Day with
their leader and as a result, 17 students cleaned up an apart�mment complex on 1304 E. California
Ave. on November 5th. The students enjoyed the activity so much that the club will adopt an
area on California Ave. close to their campus.
1
;;�s��`�
On October .13, Jan Fulton and I met with Janice Van Dreal, Acrivities Director at West
High and also in charge of KernServe, a Community Service Learning project. KernServe offers
great opportunities for High School students to be involved. I am enclosing some information
about the program. I will continue to work with Janice as this program gets to be better known
throughout the local High Schools.
On October 20th., Louis did a presentation at Noble School during their PTA meering.
The main presentation's topic was "Gangs & the Safety of our Neighborhoods". With that hot
topic, about 500 people were in attendance. This shows the high level of concern our citizens
have about gangs. Louis' message was well received; no specific contacts were made, but at
least the message was given.
I met with Mrs. Henrietta Sakamaki, 5 P.T.A. Presidents, and about 5 P.T.A. Boards
members from different Jr. High Schools on October 26. The meeting revealed a lot of fears
from the School leaders about gang retaliation (Washington Jr. High's Principal is not in favor
of our idea of student involvement in the graffiti removal). It also showed some very strong
desire from some of the Presidents to join in our efforts to clean up our city. I was able to
overcome the negative feelings of fear and insecurity of some of the people present, and at the
end we finished in a positive note. From that meeting I made four good contacts, and I was
invited to attend Walter Stiern Jr. High's P.T.A. Board meeting on November 8. Also,
Washington Jr. High's P.T.A. President is strongly in favor of our program and she volunteered
her family to adopt the College Center area.
I felt that if we plan on expanding our program, we need to tactfully work with those
school administrators that do not fully support this part of our program yet. Also, it might be
better if our acrivities involving those schools be only of a passive nature at first (ie: essay
contests, etc.).
City of Anaheim's Award Winning Program
On October 25th., I contacted Carolyn Griebe from the City of Anaheim and requested
a copy of that city's anri-graffiti program. Anaheim received the Education Project Award from
the California Chapter of the American Planning Association on October 23, 1994 because of
their anri-graffiti program.
'�� After reviewing their program outline, I noticed many similarities with ours. I also
noticed many good points we could easily adopt. First of all, I would like to suggest we start
1995 with an anti-graffiti theme for our educational/community program, this would be like the
back-bone to a11 our activities (ie: Anaheim's "Make Your Mark on the World Not on a Wall").
I feel that a master plan with a definite goal and deadlines for the accomplishment of spec�c
objectives is needed. I am in the process of mapping out a tentative plan for us. I will submit
my proposal shortly. Any ideas from you that I should take into consideration would be
appreciated. I am enclosing a copy of Anaheim's program outline.

32-ERASE
The Hot-Line is always an excellent tool, Out of 141 ca11s received during the month of
October, I was able to convince 8 callers of the effectiveness of immediate removal. After
describing our painters' work load, they accepted the paint and gladly decided to do the paindng
themselves. This equals to money saved by the City.
Also, 3 individuals agreed to adopt an area and keep it clean. A Girl Scout Leader
volunteered her troop to adopt a block on Pacheco Rd. The Bakersfield Advendst Academy, a
private High School, called and volunteered their 50+ students to help the city eradicate graffiti
as a service project. This group will be doing Grafiiti removal and street clean-up in the
Homeless Center azea this coming Friday, November � 8, 1994.
Fmm the Hot-Line we also recruited 5 High School students to come to the office and
do iiling and data entry of work done by our painters before the Graffiti software was installed.
During October, and of the 141 calls received, 16 callers were given the County's Graffiti
number, and 9 work orders were issued and sent to the County.
Our Hot-Line is definitely a great asset to our program. We aze very appreciative of the
service Warner Cable is doing us by advertising our 32-Erase program. I am enclosing a copy
of a letter sent to Jan Fulton from Warner Cable, which reflects the monetary value of that
service.
I feel our painters need to be congratulated. They worked on a total of 247 sites during
the month of October. The work they do is grea� I am enclosing a copy of a client's letter
commending the job well done by one of our painters. This is just a sample of the many great
comments we receive from our clients about our program.
Other Future Projects
Louis and I went to check Lakeview Ave. on October 26, I wrote down 17 addresses that
had been vandalized with graf�ti. Our painters will start cleaning them up next week. With the
opening of the new Clinica Sierra Vista's offces coming up soon, we want to get Lakeview Ave.
looking good.
One obstacle we encounter is the Rail Road with their many vandalized sites. Louis is
working on getting some kind of response from the R.R. Hopefully we can work together soon.
The future annexation of the S.E. Union area presents a challenge to us. Graffiti as well
as neighborhood cleaning projects are already in our minds.

Sesvice-Learning
Service-4earning 1S NOT the aCcumul�tfon of volunteer hours in comn�unity service.
SeNiC6-iEa�rling IS a strategy Which blends both academic and set-vice gaals to enrich the
learning process and foster the ethlcs of service.
With service-learning, young people learn and develop thcaug�r active participation in
thougt�tfully-organized service experiences...
...that meet actuat Community needs;
...that are coordinated in colfaboratian with ihe schooi and the community;
...that are integrated into each young person's academlC Curriculum;
...tnaz prov�de structured time tor o young p�rabrl to tntnk, t�lk, :+i��l w�i�e abaut
whal tie/sl�e did and s�w during the actusl eerviCA activity;
...Lhat Provide young �i�ople with o.pportunitie.s to use newly acquired academie

...th�t ent�ance what is taught in the school by extending
� k�ay�nd the cfassro4m;
...that help to foster the development of a sense af caring for oth�rs.
Because sarvice-learning is x sirategy, not a prog�am, it can invotve any number of
student �ind adult participants in a va�ioty oi ways. For example:
1. ltldiv'sdual buslness students volunteering in non-profit office� would work r'�gular hoUt'S

and plan lessons to be taught in efementary classrooms in need of hands-on science
experlences. Some of the "SclenCe Lessons to Go" include the chemistry of cooking taffy,
popcorn and ice cream. Partner teachers have input on iesson needs each semester.

well as fult internships (minumum of 75 hours per semester) far students who wish more
experience in a given field. .Since a primary goal of serviee-learning is the development of
infarmed and involved cittzens, student participation in community development programs
is desireable. These few sugge5tions represent the range of possibifitles for collaboration:

2. Senior economles or government students could work with staff to plan and implement a

other classes might be involved simply as volunteers an the actual workday {short term).
3. Susiness Students ca11 appiy and practice skills as volunteer office staff participaiing

by local governments. The city of
Santa Rosa Community Development
Department uses the Customer Infor-

Users can get help — in both
Spanish and English audio and text —
in completing the application for a
building permit, sign permit, second
dwelling unit permit, conditional use
permit and home occupation permit.
By touching a computer monitor
displaying graphic representations of
the application forms, the user can get
line-by-line help on the information
they need to supply. The system has

Policy makers, tegislators and

concerned that affordable housing
production costs in California are
excessive compared to similar market
rate projects. This study �amines the
actual cost to produce affordable and
market rate housing in an empirical,
case-study mannet Research involved
analysis of extensive development cost
data from both private and non-profit
developers and synthesis of the find-
ings into a framework of policy recom-
mendations.
A key finding of the report con-
cludes that affordable projects are not
more expensive to produce than
comparable market rate projects. Most
affordable projects in the study sample
were equivalent to their market rate
counterparts in terms of development
costs. In fact, many affordable projects
cost less than their market rate coun-
terpa^ts.

all people can enjoy the beauty and
excitement of the great outdoors.
Education Project Award
City of Anaheim — Make Your
Mark on the Worl� Not on
the Wall
Even with the best abatement and
enforcement efforts, the graffiti prob-
lem can only be solved permanendy
through education. The root of graffiti
vandalism is found in lack of pride,
low self esteem, boredom, refusal to
take responsibility, lack of direction
and powerlessness. Make Your Mark
on the World is a model anti-graffiti
education program that targets chil-
dren and youth before they are tempt-
ed to join a gang or tagging crew,
providing them with positive
alternatives.
The Code Enforcement Division
of the city's Planning Department
took the lead in the early stages and
the program blossomed. Major activi-
ties included a poster contest to
enable children to express ways they
can make a difference in their commu-
nities, a photographic contest of
students who were "caught in tlle act"
of doing something right, a Tshirt
contest with an anti-graffici theme, and
a one-week special "Keep Maheim
Beautifiil" event. The bottom line?
Graffiti incidents called into the
Hotline are down 30 percent since last
year.

Dear Manager:
Fax (805)�835•1702
I would like to e�press my sincere thanks for the job well done
by the graffiti removal team. I think it is a wonderful service
to have available in our community.
M.y office was built seven years age and I take pride in keeping
it looking nice. It was heartbreaking to pull up one day and see
painted letters on the walls of the fences and building. It was
a sickening feeling. It is sad that there are individuals that
do these things to other peoples property.
��Iy office manager told me about the grafftti hotline, and we
called. Mr. IIowdy was out to do the worlc within a few days. I
•would like to commend Robert Ilowdy for a great job. IIe was very
polite and considerate. IIe matche.d the paint perfectly and did a
wonderful job with the application.
Again, it is sad that we have people in our community that will
deface other people s property, but it's a great feeling to know
that we can pull together and overcome the bad with the good.
Keep up the wonderful service!
With sincere thanks, and appreciation,

I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you for
permitting me to spend another evening "on the road" with your community
oriented policing program officers.
I am very encouraged by the potential impacts I believe this new
program will have in its target neighborhood. As I know I mentioned to you
before, I am continually impressed with the caliber of officers within your
department. Officers Orbin Love and Tony Mosley are surely two of our
cities finest. You should be very pleased with the level of professionalism
exhibited by these two men.
Thanks again for the opportunity to stay abreast of the City's efforts to
address the very challenging issues presented in this neighborhood.

SUB,TECT: 1995 League Dues
�
By working together through the League, cities were able to prevent any further erosion
of local revenues by state action during 1994. There was only one real threat during the
year, a$100 million raid of city motor vehicle license fees, approved by the legislative
budget conference committee. But that was overturned as a result of swift and concerted
action taken by cities throughout the League.
Now we face 1995. The League's strategic plan for the future has identified priority
goals and the League board of directors is directing the League into a proactive
leadership role to achieve these goals. Areas of emphasis for our legislative, education,
and public information efforts will include:
•
•
0
•
e
•
Revenue and taxation reform
Mandate relief
Regulatory reform
Reconnecting cities with the public
Investing in our youth
Reducing divisiveness among local government agencies _
And then there is the state budget. We expect the coming year will bring the biggest
„ challenge yet to our local revenue sources. These challenges all come at a time when
.
•� the League has been curtailing expenditures, just like cities, and looking for more
r� efficient ways �to do its work, such as contracting out certain activities.
To ensure we have the resources to effectively resist further state takeaways and to
proactively lead the fight for issues that mean so much to us, the League board of
directors has approved a 2�% dues increase. For a city with a population from 30,000 to
40,000, this will mean an increase of just $125.
�� The regional League divisions have an opportunity to ratify the proposed 2�% dues
increase. .Itatification by a majority of the divisions representing a majority of inember
cities constitutes approval of the dues increase. Divisions not responding by January 31
shall be considered as having ratified the dues increase. Please don't hesitate to contact
me if you have any comments about this proposal, or you may reach Don Benninghoven
or Dan Harrison on the League staff with questions.
Thank you for your continued support of the League and efforts to maintain the ability
of cities to meet the basic needs of Califomians. Good luck in the coming year!

What You Will Learn
♦ Skills to improve communications among the members of your policy
team
♦ How to better fulfill your individual roles as council members
♦ How to negotiate for what you want without giving in
A How to better make decisions as a group :
♦ What you and your colleagues need to make decisions and how to get
it �H�` .... ,.
♦ Leadership and communication skills you can use in a11 aspects of
life - � , .
♦ How to create a climate to find common ground
This workshop will enable you to assess and improve your working
rela�ionships at the top level of the city's leadership; while still respecting
honest differences in opinions, principles and approaches to problems.
The workshop will not, however, provide a forum for team members to
discuss specific substantive issues before the city: In fact, workshop
participants are advised not to engage in such discussions. The sessions
emphasize team-building issues which are of general interest to city
officials.
Unlike other League conferences, the:format of the session is not condu-
cive to participation by spouses or guests of participants. Spouse or
guest attendance is therefore discouraged. �

Comments Of Previous Participants
"It was an �extremely valuabte experaence. Not only did I learn how to present my point of
view better so my colleagues listened to my concerns, but I gained a better understanding of
my own weaknesses and strengths."
"We thought the workshop good enough to have one of our own for the entire council."
"The workshop gave us a chance to better understand ourselves as a team. We also got to
know eaeh other better as individuals. As candidates for electaon we often campaign
against on another and the workshop gave us a chance to repair some of the damage."
"Highly recommend it. I'm not sure it would have been as meaningful if our whole team
hadn't participated."
"The workshop gave us the opportunity to be open in a nice way and at the same time
allowed us to deal with what came from it in a polite way."
"It would have been perfect if all our council members had attended. I feel it should be
strongly stressed, the importance of all council members and the city manager being in
attendance. "
"Be prepared for a wonderful experience, keep an open mind and be widling to share."
"The workshop gave us an intensive uninterrupted time to work through some problem
areas."
"Informative, thought provoking, utilizable ideas, methods."
"A beautiful, unique setting. Great informal atmosphere. Grand food."
"Council is now more honest in admitting interpersonal problems that exist."
"I had high expectations before going - and the workshop met my expectations."
"Understanding each other's leadership sryles has helped greatly in selecting more
productive ways of dealing with each other. Knowing the probable response under stress
has been particularly helpful in producing smoother council meetings and improving stafj`'
understanding of what was really happening."
"I only wish I could have cleared the calendar of my whole council so that all could attend
together. "
"Be prepared for an intensive involvement with others in your group. You will learn more
about yourself and the others which will help you in working together for the good of your
city. It is important for the entire council and city manager to attend."
