MEMORANDUM
,January 27, 1995
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUN~ ~/
FROM' ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. We have found that the transformer capacity at the Convention Center, which
was to serve the new meeting rooms, is inadequate. A change out of that
will be necessary. It is our cost under the agreement with Hammons and it
will run about $40,000. Fortunately, excess interest earnings are
available in the bond pool and we have more than enough money to cover it.
.2. We have a fairly large number of industrial prospects to whom we have made
offers. They are almost exclusively in the Incentive Zone. It is a
positive sign about the economy that this many are looking.
3. We had a meeting on budget guidelines this week for the departments. We
have indicated that the revenue trends are slightly positive and that it
can be a low to moderate growth time period. By low to moderate growth, we
do not mean catching up with past constraints, but perhaps dealing with
replacing personnel lost previously where particular hardships have existed
in our operations. There will be a presentation to you at the next Council
Meeting on this subject.
4. The Workshop and Public Hearing documents you have been accustomed to
receiving at the back of the agenda packets have been replaced by a more
comprehensive document. We are using the more comprehensive document as a
tool for planning future agendas. Both Hearings and Workshops appear on
it, along with other items. Take those other items "with a grain of salt"
as they will be subject to amendment and change at our staff agenda
meetings.
5. A notice is enclosed from KernCOG regarding a meeting on the relocation of,
the Amtrak Station. CalTrans wants us to pay the full $20+ million!
6. Enclosed is the most recent graffiti report from Economic Development, a
Police Activities League (PAL) Newsletter and a report on Asset Forfeiture
Funds from the Police Department, memos from Community Services on after
school playground programming and the status of a grant for juvenile crime
prevention programs, some background information on the Interface Terminal
Facility at the Water Resources Building, and a status report on the HVAC
upgrade at the Convention Center from Public Works.
7. A memo from Development Services is enclosed with General Plan Amendment
projects to be considered by the Planning Commission on March 16th.

SUBJECT: Graffiti repo~
The following is a summary of anti-graffiti activities for the last two months. Since my last
report on November 17, 1994, we have concentrated our efforts in coordinating community
volunteers, and-promoting the Adopt-a-block program.
HotLine Report
In the month of November we had 174 calls in the HotLine with 14 of them being in the
County area. Four callers permanently "adopted" their area, and $ individuals agreed to paint over
the graffiti themselves, all being thankful for the paint and brushes we gave them. Our painters
worked on a total of 166 vandalized addresses which included those reported by individuals using
other means besides the HotLine.
In December we received 249 calls in the HotLine. This increase in activity was expected
because of the holidays. As counter attack, I personally challenged the HotLine callers to get
actively involved in the eradication of graffiti. The response was great, 11 individuals agreed to paint
their own property with the paint we provided for them, and 8 "adopted" their area and promised to
keep it clean. This was double the response from last month! It was also very rewarding to receive
a couple of phone calls thanking us for the great program we have. One thankful client came to our
office last week and gave Louis and me a bag of freshly picked oranges which we shared with
everyone. It made our day!
Also in December, 22 HotLine callers were given'the County's Graffiti number, plus we sent
4 work orders to the County. Two high school seniors volunteered to work in our office. This helps
us a lot because we are still trying to finish inputing in the computer all the work orders done before
we acquired our computer system. Union Oil contacted us through our HotLine and offered to
1
donate $100 to our program. This is supposed to happen in the near future. The painters were on
vacation for several days in December, but they still managed to paint 131 addresses.
Louis was hospitalized almost a couple of weeks before Christmas. He was greatly missed.
Without his help, the HotLine calls kept me very busy. Healthwise, he is doing very well. 'He started
working his way back to regular hours when he was called by Jury Duty! So, I am short-handed
again. I truly appreciate his help. Our anti-graffiti program is getting to be well known in our
community and his help as a VISTA Volunteer is very needed.
School and Community Presentations
On November 9th, Council member Pat Smith and I attended Walter Stiern Jr. High's PTA
meeting. It was a very productive meeting. The PTA Board and the Principal, Mrs. Mapes, were
all very supportive of our program and expressed their desire to work with us in the fight against
graffiti. Mrs. Mapes requested to wait until after the first of the year to start making plans with us.
I was very appreciative of Council member Pat Smith's participation. It is great to have a City
Council that is very aware and supportive of the work we do.
The "34th. St. Neighborhood Partnership Street Fair" took place on November 19, 1994.
VISTA Volunteer Louis Armitage had a booth to promote our 32-ERASE program. He was busy
giving out flyers and balloons.
' On Nov. 20th, Louis had a booth at the Downtown Street Fair and Festival of Cars.
On Sunday, December 4th, Louis and I were invited by the owner of Fiesta Foods on Beale
Ave. to participate in the "6th Annual Tamale Extravaganza." We had a booth and promoted the
anti-graffiti program. With about 90% of the public attending being Spanish, it was nice that I could
communicate with them in their native language.
Donation of Airless Sprayers
With the help of VISTA Volunteer Bob Chandler, we organized and attended the December
10th's donation ceremony of 12 airless sprayers. Builders Supply & Equipment Co. donated sprayers
to the City's 32-ERASE program, the Kern Co. Probation Dept., the Kern High School District,
Habitat for Humanity and the Lamont Lions Club, all of whom are involved in the eradication of
graffiti. After the ceremony, graffiti was removed from the Hopper building on Espee St. by a couple
of City painters and some Explorer Scouts. Council member Pat DeMond did a fantastic job as
Master of Ceremonies.
Hands-On Activities
On November 18, the entire student body of the Bakersfield Adventist Academy participated
in a Graffiti paint-out/trash clean-up activity centering around the neighborhood of the Homeless
Center. This activity was the direct result of a call made to the HotLine. Enclosed is a copy of the
summary of this activity submitted by VISTA Volunteer Louis Armitage.

Future School Participation
Although the school officials have not been actively involved with us in eradicating graffiti,
I was able to make several contacts and schedule future presentations. I will also be contacting our
Council members and inviting them to accompany me, if it so fits their schedule, when I make
presentations at the different schools.
Mount Vernon Elementary School Principal, Mr. Bob Thistle, wants to involve about 30 to
40 six-grade students in what he calls an "All American Project" before May of'95. I will be working
closely with Ms. Becky McCalla, a six-grade teacher, to coordinate a graffiti paint-out/trash clean-up
activity.
Nichols Elementary School Principal, Ms. Durrett, is very supportive of our program. Their
825+ students will be taking home 32-ERASE flyers next week. I will also be making a presentation
to the school's PTA Board on February 14th.
I talked to Ms. Bertha Barrera, School Facilitator at Williams School. Ms. Barrera is very
excited about our anti-graffiti program and wants me to make a presentation at their next meeting
with the parents of their students. The date is to be announced.
Presently, I am working with Ms. Andrea Carlon, an enthusiastic parent at Thorner School.
We are trying to organize a paint-out day.
At the present time, I am in the process of ~j~ a Paint-out Day with Ms. Terry Blair,
Counselor at Emerson Jr. High and Compton Jr. ~ She is the leader of Emerson's Club Live, a
club promoting life without alcohol and drugs.
1995 Anti-Graffiti Campaign
Planning ahead, as we start this new year, I am submitting the following as a sketch of future
activities that I feel will benefit the anti-graffiti program.
1. 1995 Slogan
In my efforts to have a creative, eye-catching, attention-getter slogan for the 1995 year, I
invited all the CD/ED staff, and other City departments, to participate in a contest. It was great to
have your support in this project and your approval for the $25.00 reward. Charles Webb, from ED,
won with "Put Taggers Down, Support your Town", which was later modified to "Support Your
Town, Put Taggers Down" because, as you suggested, it sounds more positive. A couple of signs
are being done for us, which will be displayed whenever we do presentations in 1995. I am enclosing
a sample of it with this report.
2. Community involvement
I am working with Rachel Meek from the Police Department and I will be participating in 3
Neighborhood Watch presentations in January and another 3 in February. These presentations will
put me in direct contact with residents living at various areas of the city. I feel this is a good tool to
promote our program and I will continue to work with the Police Department throughout the year.
3. City School District involvement
I am submitting for your review a proposal for our 1995 activities involving the City School
District. Your suggestions and/or additional ideas would be appreciated.
4. HotLine
We will continue using the HotLine to promote the program. We will also promote
community involvement by encouraging the callers to adopt an area or paint over the graffiti
themselves.
5. Press releases
We will educate the community, encourage active participation, and promote our program
by making wise use of the media.

SUBJECT: Homeless Center Clean-Up
On Friday November 18, 1994 the entire student body (51) of
Bakersfield Adventist Academy, along with their Principal Mr. Mic
Hutchinson, his staff, and approximately fifteen clients from the
Homeless Center, Participated in a trash clean-up and graffiti
paint-out in the East Truxtun Avenue Area around the Homeless
Center. ~ ~. .....·
Working side-bY'Side wit'h the homeless was'a new experience for
the students.'~ After the task was completed, lunch was served by
the Homeless Center to the student~i~. along W~th the homele~'~ that
helped. 'As they were waiting for their bus, I had an opportunity
to talk with some of the students and they felt that the
experience was a very positive one.
This was a joint effort of three VISTAs. Bob Chandler handled
the publicity,' and the coverage was excellent. All three local
television stations and The Bakersfield Californian gave us
extensive coverage. His expertise really shined. Tracie King
did her usual excellent job in contacting Roland Burket at Waste
Management and arranging for a roll-off dumpster and fee waiver
at the dump-site. She also arranged for gloves, trash bags, and
all of the ~other small details for a successful event. Louis
Armitage contacted property owners, obtained consent forms from
them, and coordinated with Paul Chavez of the city graffiti
removal crew in providing color-matched paint, brushes, rollers,
trays and the necessary supplies for removal. Although only
eight graffiti sites were covered sixteen gallons of paint were
required.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH BAKERSFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT ER
SCHOOL PROGRAMMING
Since early December, Jim LeDoux from the Recreation Division has
been meeting with Mrs. Ida Randall, Director of Curriculum and
Specially Funded Projects for the Bakersfield City School District,
and Principals from 13 district schools to evaluate the possibility
of providing after school playground programming. We are trying to
work with the school districts to combine resources to develop what
we feel would be a highly desirable program.
At this point the school districts are very interested and have
approved an agreement that would allow the City to cooperate in
this venture. Since we have acceptance by the Board we are hoping
to include some kind of programming in our upcoming budget
presentation.
It has been some time since we have had a real workable agreement
with the school districts and I feel that this is the first step
that will hopefully lead to a positive relationship. Some of the
schools that have expressed a desire to be included are Eissler,
Franklin, Harding, Harris, Jefferson, Longfellow, McKinley, Mt.
Vernon, Noble, Wayside and William Penn. As you are probably aware
we currently have one successful program at Stella Hills
Elementary.'
Again, I feel this is a great opportunity to expand our programming
for the youth and will keep you advised as to further developments.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at
your convenience.

SUBJECT: JUVENILE CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAM GRANT PROPOSAL
As I had indicated during previous conversation the Recreation
Department was looking into the possibility of acquiring monies
available through a State Department of Social Services Grant. The
City was joining with other Cities, specifically North Bakersfield
Recreation and Park District, Bear Mt., Shafter, West Side Parks
and Recreation Department. There was supposedly $800,000 that
might have been available to this area. We were hopeful that some
monies would be available for after school programs and programming
at the Martin Luther King Community Center.
At this time, however, we have been apprised that there wOuld be no
funds available for this area. It is my understanding that the
major cities will receive most, if not all, of available funding.
It is unfortunate that we were not eligible to receive funding. We
will continue to search for grants from other sources. If anything
significant develops I will keep you informed.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at your
convenience.

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager~
FROM: Gene Bogart, Water & Sanl~ti~n Manager
SUBJECT: Background and update on the Interface Terminal Facility located at the Water
Resources Building, 1000 Buena Vista Road
The purpose of the Agricultural/Domestic Water Interface project is to retrieve, convey and
deliver as domestic water, City Kern River water that has been stored as groundwater in the
City's "2800 Acres". The Interface project is a four phase project that currently has two phases
completed, the third phase currently under construction, and the fourth and final phase still in
the planning period. Phase No. 1 was the drilling and construction of water wells in the "2800
Acres" (please note the wells have been operated to provide irrigation sales in the interim) and
Phase No. 2 was the construction of 3V2 miles of 36" diameter water transmission main from the
"2800 Acres" to the future booster station and storage tank. Phase No. 3 is the construction of a
booster station, needed to get the water moving under pressure into the domestic water system.
Phase No. 4 will be the installation of a regulating storage tank of up to 10 million gallons
capacity.
Phase No. 3 bids were opened on August 10, 1994 and was awarded by City Council to H.P.S.
Plumbing Services on August 24, 1994 totaling $1,059,452.00. As of this date, the Interface
Terminal Facility project (Phase No. 3) is approximately 40% complete. The contractor, H.P.S.
Plumbing Services, Inc., is approximately one week behind his schedule due to electrical conduit
installation delays. The contractor was given one hundred fifty (150) working days to complete
the project. By contract, the project should be completed around the middle of April, 1995.
Completed work on Phase No. 3 includes:
~ Installation of the 24" pipeline from the facility to the distribution system on Buena Vista
Road
~ Electrical conduits and P. G. & E. and emergency power conduits from the ~,,
control building to the administration building
Concrete foundations and slab completed in the control building
All 36" piping to the spill structure are in place, together with the 24" pump
discharge manifold and pump discharge risers.
All equipment and electrical shop drawing submittals have been approved and the materials have
been ordered. Currently, the concrete block walls for the control building are being constructed.
We are expecting to receive information on the storage reservoir (phase no. 4) loan application
from the State Department of Water Resources in the next several weeks. We will keep you
appraised of the loan status as soon as we receive further information.

SUBJECT: CONVENTION CENTER HVAC UPGRADE STATUS
As was discussed earlier this month, we will be putting together proposal to upgrade the
entire HVAC system at the Convention Center through a "Design-Build" concept. We have
placed on the January 25, 1995 agenda an item to refer this matter to the Budget and
Finance Committee since it involves a substantial investment on our part.
Since our meeting, we have been compiling information necessary to assemble a "Request
for Qualifications" (RFQ) for the design-build concept. The RFQ will be complete and sent
to prospective vendors this week. We hope to have a vendor procured (contract executed)
withifi the next two months. It is a high priority project for our department.
As to your questions regarding potential savings and the P.G.&E. rebate, the following will
address those items:
1. Maintenance and Utility savings
Based on the information provided by Honeywell, it is anticipated the energy savings
with the new system will be in the order of $50,000 per year. Maintenance savings
are difficult to identify since the amount of time spent on maintenance is currently
fairly minimal. This, however, may change dramatically if the older equipment
begins to break down which is anticipated. The real savings is in potential
maintenance efforts that will be necessary in the event of malfunctions..
2. P.G.&E. rebate
P.G.&E. requires additional information to process the rebate for the TES study
completed last summer. This information is currently being compiled. Once
P.G.&E. receives this information, it will take approximately four (4) weeks to
receive the rebate check.

MEMORANDUM
TO: RAUL ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR~
FROM: MARK LEAL, STREET SUPERINTENDENT II~l~
DATE: JANUARY 13, 1995
SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY CITIZEN COMPLAINT ON THE CLEANING OF
SOUTH CHESTER AVENUE.
A portion of South Chester Avenue begihning south of Wilson Road
on the north side of the railroad crossing down to where South Chester
intersects with Union Avenue has been brought to our attention as a
street that needs more than average sweeping. Of this roadway, the
southern portion of approximately 2000 lineal feet is in the
unincorporated area. The remaining northern 4000 lineal feet is in the
city.
Unfortunately, this roadway along with most of the other arterial
streets in the City of Bakersfield are swept on a once every 4 or 5 week
schedule. In cases such as this, where there are median islands, our
sweeping includes these also. We are aware that this interval is
excessive and we are constantly striving to improve our performance.
However, we must operate within our available resources. At this time
it does not seem reasonable for city residents to suffer an even greater
sweeping interval to accommodate unincorporated areas. We will continue
to monitor the city portion of this roadway and, when necessary, provide
emergency sweeping to eliminate hazardous conditions.

~ December 13, 1994
The Government Con'n'Mttee of the 1994/1995 Grand Jury has reviewed
your complaint regarding the cleaning .of Chester AvenUe and the island
in the x~ddle, as well' as tho presences of undesirable visitors at the
apafanents across $. Chester Avenue.
We have inspected the area along South Chester Avenue, beginning south
of Wilson on the south side of thc railroad crossing down to where South
Che~ter intersects with Ux~ion Avenue. 'Following our inspection-the
following action was taken:
/ a) The Com~cilman fi:om Ward 1 was informed of the situation.
The Councilman did inspect the area and reported that the
area did need more than the average sweeph~g and a~eed to
~-- iafform the departanent that' would be responsible.
b) Regarding the visitors at the aparnnents across S. Chester,
the Bakersfield Police Department was notified and made
aware of the situation that exists mid were requested to
la, crease theix patrols in that area.
There is some difficulties/aa attempting to solve this situation, as there axe
some of the sections in question that are in Kern County while others are
witl~in the city limits. Thus the problem arises regaxding who is to take the
responsibility for patrollhag and / or street maintenance.
It would be the r~commendati°n of this Grand 5ury that all parties
involved (ie, city mad county departments) get together and work out a
solufon that would make Bakersfield a better "All-American City". One
solution would be to sweep the streets in the city in sections even if they
contained a portion of the eouaaty. This would be much better than the
spot cleanfiag that is currently being done. The citizens would bee greater
results from the property tax dollars they are spending,
