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

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.

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.

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

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.

RE: LETrER OF DECEMBER 20, 1~)4
Dear Alan:
You recently requested a response tn several pieces of correspondence sent from the City
· to the County. I am pleased to oblige.
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: '.

· 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.

Summar?
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

RE: TRUNK SEWER CONNECTION IN CSA 71
(CITY SERVICE AREA)
City and County staff met recently to discuss implemen~fion issues associated with: the. 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.
We also agree with you-tim 'sewering of the CSA 71 - City Service Are~:is
orderly development of the area * and remain commitled to,he success~ impO. of the
'regional sewer plan env/sioned and required by the, CSA 71' Agreement

15th on the status of universal garbage collection. I wrote Mr. Austin, at Council request,
on August 15th on the status of Calloway Drive in the County, and Mr. Rojas wrote you
on October 31st about the funding of trunk sewers in CSA
Since we. have not received responses to any of these, I am supplying you with new

Dear Mr. Austin:
You may be aware of the progress of the City's Calloway Drive extension project between
Stockdale. Highway and Brimhall Road. Staff is currently completing plans and
specifications for the roadway and twO bridges and right of way is being acquired. We
expect and hope to advertise the project in early Fall, 1994..Our roadway should be open
to traffic in late 1995.
Completion of the City project will obviously provide another direct route from the
Rosedale-Northwest area to the Southwest area of Bakersfield. When it's built, the traffic
will come. This is sure to create capacity and other problems for Kern County north of
Brimhall Road. I urge you to take steps necessary to initiate an improvement project on
the County portion of Calloway Drive.

RE: TRUNK sEWER CONSTRUCTION IN C$A-71 CITY'SERVICE ARF~
Dear Mr. Hienrichs:
The recent adOption of the Western Rosedale Specific Plan now makes planning of trunk SeWers in
the CSA-7! City Service area feasible. It is my understanding that the Technical Advisory Committee has
recently begun that planning process.
Section 31b 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 ciose coordination and cooperation between our two iurisdictions.
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?

Bal[ersfield Regional Sports Complex Survey
Executive Summar
In January 1995, a survey was conducted among residents within the Bakersfield
20'10 Plan area.* The survey was conducted to determine:
residents' interest in sports and views regarding the Bakersfield
Dodgers
residents' receptivity to a property tax / fee increase to pay for the con-
struction of a regional sports complex to include a minor league baseball
stadium
· the levels of tax increase residents would support
and
· to identify likely supporters of the project, through a technique called
crosstabulation, which allows community leaders to evaluate attitude
differences based upon factors such as age, gender, income and
homeowner status.
* see Appendix A for further description of survey population
I. Respondents' Opinions About Sports
Respondents were asked to reveal their level of interest in a number of sports.
Professional football showed the highest level of interest.

Respondents were fairly evenly split on whether or not they considered themselves
baseball fans:
Fans 34% (Avid 16.3% / not that strong 17.7%)
Only occasional fan 34%
Not a baseball fan 31%
Ninety-five percent of respondents were aware of the Bakersfield Dodgers and over half
--53% -- stated that they (or a family member) had attended a Bakersfield Dodgers
game during the past three years.

II. Survey Topline Shows Initial Support For A Regional Sports Complex Meets
Threshold
The topline, which measures overall support, shows that at the time of the survey
slightly greater than 2/3rds of residents within the Bakersfield area expressed support
for a new regional sports and recreation complex with a minor league baseball
stadium.-
Considering a margin or error +_5%, overall initial support by Bakersfield residents
indicates a range from 64 - 74%. Likewise, the range of opposition is 15-25%.

V. 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.

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.

VII. 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.

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.

Agreement to Conduct Study and Release of Claims with the City of Bakersfield. These
documents provide for the City and the County to jointly manage a study of the fire services jointly

Mayor Price welc°med everyone to the meeting and asked Ray Watson to give an update
on the Vision Conference. 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. Please call the
Mayor's office at 326-3770 to confirm your attendance. I

expenditures were less than revenue for the f0ucth sUalF~l~t year, which repaLd
previous loans and provided a cushion so there would beno implementation of the

MEMORANDUM
Janua~ 12,1995
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~
FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Mercy Charities - Housing Project in Southeast Bakersfield
As you will recall, on October 12, 1994, the City Council approved Resolution 168-94
supporting Mercy Charities (MC) Affordable Housing Project within the southeast
Bakersfield Metropolitan Area. 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.

MEMORANDUM
January9, 1995
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Appointments to various boards.
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.

Dear Jake:
Thank you for attending my Economic Development'Advisory Group
meeting on October 20th. 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
