HomeMy WebLinkAbout01/20/95 BAKERSFIELD MEMORANDUM January 20, 1995 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. You will find a memo enclosed indicating we are shifting some functions between the Water and Sanitation Department and the Public Works Department. It is a mutually agreed to trade which I think should realize some specific benefits for the City. Details are enclosed in the communication. 2. Enclosed is a letter from Kern County responding to a couple of the issues we raised with them. On universal garbage collection, "they might think about it later" - on Calloway Drive, "it's a lot of money, they are giving it some thought." 3. Would you like to save $90 million for your constituents? In doing further analysis of the wastewater treatment plant improvements, it would seem tha~ possibilities exist to increase the size of Plant Nos. 2 and 3 to deal with the next 15 to 20 years of sewage treatment needs as long as we do not provide service to the platted subdivisions by Kern County west of town. We have asked the consultant to do some additional analysis on this concept and will bring forward details to you in a couple of formats. 4. We are continuing to work with several industrial prospects for job creation. There is no conclusion to any of them, at this point, but we continue to be active behind the scenes. 5. The vacant Police Department positions are now being filled. The list appears to include a pretty reasonable mixture of females and minorities. 6. The Mayor checked with our Sister City in Wakayama to see if the earthquake had caused them damage. Apparently, they are in good shape. 7. We have initiated the lateral hire process to bring in firefighters for the purpose of staffing Rio Bravo. The County did request, in the end, that we open that process. 8. Kevin McDermott and I met with the two new County Supervisors this week. Hopefully, we will have some opportunities for improved communication there. 9. Enclosed you will find a more detailed and complete survey on the subject of the community's interest in the baseball stadium/sports complex. It is a very, very positive response overall. We are trying to work up a HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL January 20, 1995 Page -2- financial plan for your consideration and should have something as early as neXt week for discussion. 10. You may recall that, some months ago, I indicated to you I had been selected for a Management Exchange Program with the City Manager of Bradford, England. My trip to England for that Exchange begins the middle of April and extends, roughly, through the end of April. One week will be vacation, one week is learning in Bradford about how they function and what they do, and one week is attending the National City Management (in England it is called 'SOLACE) Conference. The people in Britain pay my costs for the SOLACE Conference. They City Manager of Bradford reverses that schedule in October to come here and to the ICMA Conference in Denver. I will provide you with more details later, but I did want to let you know that I would be out of the office for a significant period of time in April. 11. A letter from the County is enclosed which includes the names of the County appointees for the Fire Study Citizens Advisory Committee. 12. The Claims Activity Report for the month of December from Risk Management is enclosed. 13. Responses to Council Referrals are enclosed regarding drainage problems at the intersection of Elcia and South Real Road, the tract map and improvement agreement with Hardt Construction for Tract 5594-B, and a list 'of contracts'completed by local and non-local contractors. AT.'alb Enclosures cc: Department Heads Trudy Slater Carol Williams BAKERSFIELD MEMORANDUM January 20, 1995 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER ~-T-'/~ SUBJECT: DEPARTMENTAL ASSIGNMENT CHANGES Enclosed you will find a memo co-authored by Raul Rojas and Gene Bogart, which I have approved. The memo proposes that like functions will be aligned more closely within their two departments. Gene Bogart's operation, which takes care of irrigation canals and water issues will take over sumps, farms, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), and the marketing of water from the wastewater plants. Raul Rojas, whose other operations include Equipment Maintenance and Streets, among others, will take over the Sanitation operation, which is similar in nature to Street Sweeping and some of the other operations under that department. I am excited about the potential benefits we can receive. One example is that Gene Bogart's knowledge of water marketing will result in the exploration of a plan to market our sewage effluent on an exchange basis, perhaps even putting water back in the Kern, since exchange would not take place at the same location. Another benefit is that it achieves consistency in division oversight, since the Sanitation operation functions out of the Corporation Yard. It will now be supervised under the same chain of command as the other Corporation Yard functions. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. AT.alb EnClosure cc' Department Heads CONr]D£NTIAL B A K £ R $ F I £ L D PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORAND.~, TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~ { DATE: _ SUBJECT: REORGANIZATION OF PUBLIC WORKS and WATER AND SANITATION DE~RTMENTS / Over the past couple of mOnths, Gene Bogart and myself, have been reviewing various divisional functions within our departments and trying to determine if certain responsibilities could be better performed by Public Works or Water & Sanitation. As a result of the review of our respective departments, we have determined that the Sanitation Division would probably best be served if it were under the direction of the Public Works Department. In exchange for transferring of the Sanitation Division to the Public Works Department, Public Works would transfer some water-related activities to the ~Nater Department, which would be better served by their expertise. The Public Works Department would be transferring the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, the management of farmland for the sewer farms, the management of the discharge water effluent from the Sewer Treatment Plants, and the maintenance, operation and management of the storm drain sumps. All these functions require heavy water-related expertise. The NPDES objective is to gather data on the extent of surface water quality monitoring activities being undertaken by municipalities as part of an NPDES Storm Water permit compliance program. The monitoring of pollution from water into the storm drain systems and into our sumps and the recharge of the basins is part of the NPDES program. The Water Department would be able to use the sumps as recharge basins in addition to their other duties and would be closely related to the NPDES. The Water Department would be able to use the discharge January 13, 1995 Page 2 Alan Tandy, City Manager Re: Reorganization of Public Works and Water and Sanitation Departments of the effluent from the treatment plants for balancing and trading With other' agencies, and it would be responsible for the review of the contracts with the farming industry. The Sanitation Division would be transferred to the Public Works Department. Sanitation is a heavy equipment intensive division, and has similar operational issues as in the Public Works Department. It has been the tradition of Public Works Departments of most cities to have Sanitation as part of their oversite. Currently, the Wood Waste/Green Waste site is under the direction of the Public Works Department. Furthermore, Sanitation Division is located at the Corporation Yard in closed pro~mity to the other Public Works Divisions. This transfer will allow close supervision of the operation and the employees on a daily basis. With the hiring of the new Solid Waste Director, we recommend this would be a good time to implement the transfer. The Solid Waste Director would report to the Public Works Director and begin the budget process for fiscal year 1995-96 at that time. We also recommend the transition take place within the next two (2) weeks, if possibie, to officially become effective and under the operation of the Public Works Department on February 1, 1995. Meetings will be held with the employees to inform them of the transfer, let them know what is expected of them and clarify the reporting relationships. I anticipate there will be little change in the Solid Waste Division other than the new Solid Waste Director will report directly to the Public Works Director.

Calloway Drive, Brimhall Road to State Highway ~8 (Letter to SuperviSOr Austin Dated Au_~ust 15, 1994). Your letter advised the County of the City's Calloway Drive extension project and closed as follows: "I urge you to take Stel:S necessary to initiate an improvement project on the County portion of Calloway Drive." The letter was referred to the Resource Management Agency -- TransPOrtation Management Department. County staff agrees that the County should widen its portion of Calloway Drive if at all possible. Funding, as always, is the issue. We are evaluating our options in light of'severe budget constraints.-I ex, ct to be_ able to . advise you of our proposed course- Universal Collection of Garbage Within Metropolitan Bakersfield (Letter to Joel Heinrichs Dated September 15. 1994). As you are aware, and as we have discuss, ed on several occasions, the Waste Management Department prepared a rePOrt for the Board of Supervisors regarding universal collection which was presented to the Board of Supervisors on March 15, 1994. It was received and file& . Following that rePOrt, the Board of Supervisors engaged in an extensive review of our diversion strates0t, wMch culminated in the Board acting on July 26, 1994, to direct staff to undertak~ a s~ries of actions as summadze, d below: '. PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Alan Tand~ January 13,1995 Psge 2 · Negotiate with affected County departments to procure a suitable site for a northwest Metropolitan Bakersfield area greenwaste facility. · Develop a report to include a detailed description of a practical curbside greenwaste collection program, . Concurrent with the implementation of atrbside greenwaste collection, initiate a fee on all greenwaste arriving at County waste facilities. · Cooperate with the City of Bakersfield in implementing a program for a limited MRF and tran,~fer station in the Metropolitan area if needed to meet AB 939 goals. We have met with City staff and Metropolitan haulers to discuss options associated with greenwaste collection with-orwithout universal collection. Our discussions with the haulers 'have been C°mplicated:l~ ~c~'ai~ty associated with City plan,~ to automate all or some routes and recent uncertainty relative to City operation of its green/wood waste site. At this point, the County is proceeding as follows: 1. As your staff has been advised, we are sitin~ a northwest green/wood waste site to increase public convenience and options. We expect to have a facility · operational this calendar year. 2. We are negotiating with haulers for implementation of separate greenwaste collection using semi-automated techniques. This will proceed at a .fairly deliberate'pace to allow for the extensive coordination and planning required to successfully implement this program.

As you can see, we are attempting to move' forward with "win-win" solutions for Metropolitan residents in the areas of tramportation fafilifies and liquid and solid waste collection and disposal systems. Quite frankly, from a technical perspective, it should be relatively easy to jointly plan for and provide transportation and sewer services. The key is a willingness on the part of both City and County representatives to keep parochial interests out of the discussion. The issue-or'universal-collection-is- more~ complex,~ as-we- appear ~-have somewhat different priorities and-perspectives on the. best use of limited solid waste staff and resources: We shouldcontinue-to discuss_this.issue'---as a part of the broadc~ solid waste piotur, e ,- in_ the existing M~e .tropo.litan .Bakersfield Solid Waste Subcommittee~~, I hope these updates are helpful.

CSA 71' Sewer Agreement. As a follow,up to that meeting, the Technical Advisory Committee (which consists-of City and County. staff) has developed a revised sewer trunk line hyout reflecting existing conditions.in the area and the recently adopted Western Ro~ Specific Plan. Our staffs have also. determined the capacity of the treatment plant needed to serve the area and the cost to install,the. necessary sewer conveyance facilities to serve the area. It is now possible to respond to your October 31, 1994 letter, wherein you. ~ 'How~ will the County provide funding for necessary sewer trunk connection?' As you know., there is a range' of options: zones of benefit within CSA 71, dmm. lop~r contributions, a Mello-Roos Assessment District, etc. Based on tile conceptual ma.sim:plan, and the variety of existing facilities' (i.e,, some neighborhoods are' fully sewered, somz;havo 'dry lines" but no trunk lines, .and some older neighborhoods ,have no facilities at ali), it appears grot a CSA 71 tiered fee system would be most appropriate. County staff have begun development of a conceptual financing plan consistent with this concept. We will be coordinating with you as soon as a meaningful product is complete.

Levels of Support Initially, and after hearing more information, a majority of the respondents were willing to name a level of tax/fee per year which they were willing to support. Half of the respondents were presented with dollar amounts in ascending order. This is called a "last yes" question. The interviewer continues until the' respondent does NOT agree to a dollar amount. The other half of respondents were given dollar amounts in descending order. This is a '~irst yes" question, meaning the interviewer stops when th~ respondent agrees to a dollar amount. The chart below shows the "Summary" or average of the ascending and descending order responses. 50% IIlnitial t~lnf°rmed I 40% 30% ~20% $5 to $8 $8 to $12 $12 to $15 DK/NA/Ref per year per year per year Tax Increase / Yr 10 Levels of Support - Selected Subgroups 50% 40% - J~ 30% 20% 10% 0% Eight Dollars J J J c:,,^ Eight to Twelve Dollars Twelve to Fifteen Dollars DK/NNRef II Parents School Kids ~No School Kids J~JEventual School Kids j 50% 4O% I - 3O% I 20% I 0% ~ight Dollars I J I c;..~ Eight to Twelve Dollars Twelve to Fifteen Dollars DKJNA/Ref 11 VI. Message A. Question 6 represented an open-ended question which asked respon- dents why they would support/oppose the project. Three answers were given significantly more often than any others: Provides family entertainment 32.8% Good for community I town (people) need it 32.0% Positive influences I activities for youth 24.1% Need a new stadium 10.4% Keeps team / games in town 9.1% Good for the economy 5.0% Multipurpose Facility (other sports/events) 4.6% Generates revenue 1.7% Provides employment 1.2% General positive 7.5% Need more information 0.8% Don't Know/No Answer/Refused 2.1% Three answers stood out in opposition: Oppose more taxes '47.1% Dislike baseball/would not benefit personally 25.7% Don't need it / upgrade Sam Lynn Field 15.7% Economy cannot support new facilities 8.6% Support pdvate enterprise constructing facility 1.4% Lack of team commitment 1.4% Need more information 2.9% Don't Know/No Answer/Refused 4.3% 12 B. Respondents were asked to evaluate 13 arguments in support of a tax measure. Q8. Now, I would like to read you some statements that may be made by people who might favor the measure to construct a new regional sports and recreation complex and a minor league baseball stadium in Bakemfield. Dudng the course of a community debate, if you heard each statement and believed it to be true, please tell me whether it would make you much more likely to favor the project, somewhat more likely to favor the project, or whether the statement makes no difference to you one way orthe other. This chart shows us significant differences in the "Much More Likely" responses given by 60 residents participating in the survey. 50 ..... 40 ~ 30 20 10 0 QSa QSb Q8¢ QS~ QBe QSf Q8§ QSh QSi QI QSk QSI QSm This chart shows combined "Much More Likely" and "Somewhat More Likely." 80 75.1% 74.0% This "Total More Likely" 71.7% 70.8% 68.0% for the top five statements 60 0 Q8k Q8h (; a [] Much More Likely [] Somewhat More Likely 13 ;.~h;~ fivestatement~.

The 80 acres necessary to construct the regional sports and recreation complex and a minor league baseball stadium, which is valued at $3 million dollars, will be donated to the City and County. 8h. The stadium will be used for outdoor concerts and performances. 8e. Having a minor league baseball team in Bakersfield contributes a lot to the community spirit in Bakersfield, people's pride and provides affordable family entertainment. 8k. A professional baseball team would be required to pay the operations and main- tenance cost for their use of the stadium. 8a. The baseball stadium will also be used by the local high school football, base- ball, and soccer teams which do not have a stadium for home games.

COnclusion Clearly, a strong majority of the residents surveyed are predisposed to support a revenue enhancement measure for the a new regional sports complex. Potential supporters view it as a major improvement for themselves and their community. Opponents have reservations on financial grounds. To them, the personal spending increase is a drawback which outweighs the community benefit. Efforts to elicit support for the new complex, therefore, must make sure that commuo nity residents join together in a groundswell effort to publicize community benefits · and generate community cohesion in support of the project. 15 Appendix A This survey was conducted among residents 18 years and older in the Bakersfield 2010 Plan Area using a sampling method called random digit dialing. While the re- suits depict with a 95% accuracy the sentiments of the general population, the find- ings should not necessarily be considered representative of all registered voters within the sampling area. 16 JOSEPH E.

Ray said the consultants considered it a tremendous success and now people really want to get some things done. Judy Salamacha will be devoting at least thirty hours a week to the BAT/Future Bakersfield Project and Cai Rossi of the Chamber will be assisting her. The Chamber has agreed to provide office space and ad m i nistrative s e rvi ces. Mayor's Economic Development Page 2 January 10, 1995 Discussion Group The BAT/Future Bakersfield Project phone number at the Chamber is 325-5235 and the FAX number is 327-8751. Ray said plans are being made to gather conferees together again in February to think about refinements of plans and ideas. It is important to keep the momentum going. There has been some discussion regarding changing the name of the Bakersfield Action Team to the Future Bakersfield Foundation. He also asked if anyone knew of someone who was very knowledgeable regarding inputting data systems into a computer. Tony Ortega said he knows of two students who do that. -~Udy Salar~'~ha~-Id-'-~e~ g~o~-~e~V~ -~u~c--h~p-pr~a~es {he~:~n~i~l~nce ~-f the task force in inviting her to be in charge of the administrative functions.. She said a tentative date of February 25th is being considered to reconvene the conferees. Alan' Tandy spoke on behalf of the image group. Several people think the image Bakersfield carries around the state is false. Our community has changed or perhaps never deserved that image in the first place. Many of our own citizens hold negative attitudes about Bakersfield. A meeting is being held at 3:30 p.m. today at Commonwealth Land Title to enhance and update external material regarding our community and to institute a community pride campaign. Anyone who has any ideas, film clips or other material is invited to attend. Mayor Price said Bakersfield has to sell itself to itself before it can start selling itself to other people. He was pleased to announce that State Farm has set a definite opening date for their office. Cathy Butler said the council chambers are reserved for a subcommittee meeting on Monday, January 30th, at 7:00 p.m. A press release will be sent out to invite the community. She also said the cultural and streetscaping committees will be meeting together on Tuesday, J~nuary 17th, at 4:00 p.m. in Dave Milazzo's office:- - Mayor Price emphasized the. importance of getting behind some major projects and getting them done. Money is going to have to be raised to keep the 'organization going. The sum of $10,000 has been committed with $85,000 needed to continue. Grant and foundation money will also be sought. Lou Gomez said the Hispanic Chamber will contribute what they can. Gil Anthony suggested that some. profit might be made from the multicultural festival being considered. Mayor's Economic Development Page 3 January 10, 1995 Discussion Group Ann Gutcher asked if later there will be a budget available so people can see where money is needed and the answer was affirmative. She also voiced a concern that some of the Smaller subcommittees didn't have commitments on who was going to move the group forward. She was informed that Judy would assist in thiS area. This group will not meet in FebrUary. The next meeting will be held Thursday, March 16, 1995, at 12:00 noon in the Bank Room of the Convention Center.

Since that time, MC has identified a site for their project to construct between 50-60 multi-family units. The proposed site is immediately east of the original site, however, it is outside the city limits. Staff has met with the City Planning Department to initiate the annexation process and with Kern County Community Development and Planning to expedite completion of the proposed project. Attached is a tentative time table for that this project that we believe can be reasonably processed. MC has indicated that they will be submitting an application to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee for tax credits in March/April '1995. Although the final annexation of MC's property will not be completed prior to the CDLAC application deadline, it will not jeopardize the tax credit application. City support and financial assistance enhances the application's ability to be funded with tax credit assistance. Once MC's project has been approved by CDLAC for tax credits and the project agreement has been approved by the City Council, staff can initiate the appraisal, the Phase I environmental, soilworks, retaining engineering and architectural services and finally the acquisition of the site. MC projected construction start date is tentatively scheduled for December 1995. Attachment ~,: , Im:GG12/VVAGER1 .MEM ,l~l I ~ lao~ MERCY CHARITIES.

This memorandum is t° advise you of certain appointments I have recently accepted. I believe in each instance there are some distinct advantages for the city of Bakersfield and for myself (personally and professionally). As I had previously indicated to you I have been elected to the board of the California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) for a three year term. I have been asked to attend to two issues for CALED. The first being to help establish a basic and advanced training curriculum for California economic development professionals. This will require occasional travel to Sacramento as the curriculum is developed. This may give me a chance to become more familiar with the workings of Sacramento and increase Bakersfield's presence in the State Capitol. The second issue will be to generate some CALED activities at the Chapter level as the Chapter Chair. The second position I recently accepted is to serve as a board member for the Kern County Children's Network. I do not expect this to require a major commitment of time. The purpose of the organization is to raise public awareness regarding the conditions of children and families as well as the need to establish greater collaborative efforts to address their needs. Finally, I have accepted an invitation issued by Representative Cal Dooley to join a steering committee whose task will be to come up with a plan of action where Mr. Dooley could be of assistance in economic development matters. I hope that these commitments will pay dividends to the City of Bakersfield and to the tasks assigned to me. Periodically I will provide you with written updates on my activities. dlt:jw6 -~ .

I enjoyed hearing your ideas on how I can become a more active partner in your economic development efforts. The ideas my staff and I took from the meeting were varied and some are more feasible than others. But at meetings such as these, I consider no idea a bad one. To summarize, the suggestions you made seemed to fall in four areas where my efforts on your behalf should be directed: Help to bring about legislative or regulatory changes. For instance, expanding industrial development bonds to include distribution facilities and allowing Private Industry Council monies to be used for job-generating activities. Help to create an interagency approach ("one-stop shopping") to economic development. There are many federal agencies whose mission it is to assist localities with economic development. Unifying these agencies was mentioned as a change that could be made. Assist-with gaining access to trade delegations. Write letters of support; speak with prospective companies interested in expanding or relocating to the District. I recognize that these ideas need to be fleshed out and. specific areas of action further detailed. Because you are involved in economic development, I would like to further rely on you. In that line, I have asked Firebaugh City Manager Keyth Durham to head a small steering committee whose task it will be to come up with a plan of action for specific areas where I can be of assistance. If you are interested in serving as part of this working group, please contact Keyth at (209) 659-2043 or Chris Sundstrom in my district office. Printed on Recycled Paper Whether or.not you decide to take part in this "steering committee," I want to reiterate that my office stands ready to assist you in any way. The real purpose of forming the Economic Development Advisory Group, and for the October meeting, was to ensure that you know of my willingness and desire to be helpful in your economic development efforts. Thank you again for your time and efforts in this regard. I look forward to talking with you soon. With kind regards, Member of Congress CD:cs KERN COUNTY NETWORK for CHILDREN ~ !
