MEMORANDUM
March 10, 1995
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR.AND CITY COUNCIL//~'~'~
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT' GENERAL INFORMATION /
1. A reminder of an old issue coming up: You may recall that we have been
leasing storage space from the Bakersfield Senior Center, which was
actually space acquired through our Block Grant and put under long-term
lease to them. Last year, a Council Committee asked us to look into
alternatives for that. There has been some delay, due to the turn over of
the Director position at the Senior Center, among other reasons.
Nonetheless, we have initiated contact with them, and that item is coming
for active consideration before you.
2. You will find documents enclosed discussing another County-created "city"
to our west. This one is called "Rosedale Ranch." It is like the others,
Pacificana, Western Rosedale, etc.. This one is north of the already
platted Western Rosedale.
3. You will find some documents enclosed which are from an individual who
applied to be a lobbyist for us in Sacramento. I recognize that the last
time this subject was discussed, at the Federal level, it was
controversial. This topic may, however, merit some consideration. We are
a large city now, and we may not be exerting the maximum level of influence
we can in Sacramento regarding matters important to our future.
4. The Sports Complex/Baseball related update of the week: The Task Force
working on this authorized the refinement of the cost estimate for the
Stadium through the firm of H.O. & K. Architects. They are the premiere
stadium designers in the country. As you saw from the newspaper article,
the League president was in to discuss what works and what does not work in
terms of timing and baseball business relative to such a proposal. I have
been holding discussions .with Joe Drew of Kern County about a shared
financing plan for the project which would not involve assessments or
outside debt.
5. At the time of authoring this memo, we had two certified, with the
possibility of two more, candidate for the permanent seat in Ward Six. The
two certified candidates are Galen Chow and Hiawatha Calhoun; papers have
been picked up by Mark Dickerson and Jacquie Sullivan, but have not been
filed (as of 3:30 p.m.).
6. You will find copies enclosed of hockey documents. In light of the
multiple parties interested in securing our lease, we are sending this out
so that they have to accept our terms, submit their qualifications and
demonstrate their ability to perform. We will evaluate those submissions
before bringing a proposal to the City Council.

7. We met with the Labor Unions, this week, about their willingness to work
for the proposed new stadium. It appears that donations of hundreds of
thousands of dollars in labor are very possible.
8. Our business license ordinance must not contain any regulatory requirements
because it is a tax, not an ordinance regulating businesses. There are
some amendments needed to a couple of sections of our code. You will find
a document enclosed on that subject. It will be coming before you in the
not too distant future.
9. A reminder that I will be out of the office from April 12th through April
28th. I will be on the ICMA Management Exchange program with the City of
Bradford, England, and attending the Great Britain version of the City
Manager's Annual Conference. I will, of course, leave numbers where I can
be contacted, and John and Gall will share the duty of being in charge
during my absence.
10. A memo is enclosed from Public Works regarding stamped asphalt. This is a
possibility for the Stockdale Highway median. We will have other
alternatives also.
11. A response to a Council Referral is enclosed regarding street problems in
the Paladino/Masterson area.
12. The most recent Kern River Basin Precipitation Report is enclosed for your
information.
13. Enclosed is a new graffiti update.
14. A memo is enclosed from Community Services regarding a cooperative effort
between the Parks and Water Divisions of the City and the Kern River
Parkway Foundation.
15. The year end Performance Report on the Homeless Center is enclosed for your
information.

Kern County Exhibit 2
Proposal to Provide Legislative Representation Services
to
The City of Bakersfield
Submitted by
Michael J. Arnold & Associates, Inc.
Introduction
Arnold and Associates would very much like to represent the interests of the City of Bakersfield
in Sacramento. This proposal will set forth the basic elements of a comprehensive representation
program. Further refinements will be developed as necessary to tailor the program to the needs
of the City.
Arnold and Associates is recognized as one of the top advocacy firms in the industry. The
firm's reputation for integrity and effective persuasion is widely respected amongst legislators
and staff. Such recognition can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Also, ,because
the firm represents a multitude of clients of high quality, access to legislative members is more
readily available. It is, however, the carefully developed and well managed professional
approach to the legislative process which sets Arnold and Associates apart from other lobbying
groups. In today's sensitive political climate, complete knowledge of the process, skillful
articulation of-the arguments and the ability to apply successful leverage when needed are
integral in accomplishing the desired goals and objectives of clients. Arnold and Associates has
been able to meet the goals and objectives of clients time and time, again.
Personalized Service
The goal of Arnold and Associates is to provide professional, high quality advocacy for clients
in need of excellent representation. The firm has been doing this since its formation in 1982.
In achieving this goal, the firm provides a full service advocacy program. This program is
designed to ensure that the firm will effectively influence the outcome of legislative and
administrative deliberations in the interests of clients.
Michael J. Arnold, President and Founder, of Arnold and Associates has been lobbying in
Sacramento since 1970. Prior to the creation of Arnold & Associates he spent nine years with
the League of California Cities and three years with the California Medical Association. The
rich personal background of Mr. Arnold combined with his highly developed understanding of
legislative strategy and keen political insight form the basis from which effective advocacy is
achieved.
In 1994 the firm was pleased to announce the addition of a new lobbyist to the team, Ms.
Kristian Foy. Ms. Foy is an active member of the California State Bar. She graduated with
honors from the University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law where she received her
J.D. She earned her B.S. in Biology from U.C.L.A. While in law school, Ms. Foy
concentrated her studies in the areas of environmental law and the legislative process. Prior to
joining Arnold and Associates Ms. Foy was employed in the legal department of Western Farm
Credit Bank in Sacramento. She also worked as a legal 'intern for the Senate Judiciary
Committee under Senator Bill Lockyer, now President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Ms. Foy's
legal background compliments the firm's objectives and our commitment to ensure that clients
have the best resources available whether they need legislative research, analysis, bill drafting
or sponsorship of a measure.
Knowledge of the Issues
During Mr. Arnold's tenure with the League of California Cities he handled legislation involving
virtually all aspects of municipal government. For the past few years Mr. Arnold has
represented independent cities before the State Legislature and has been exceedingly successful
on behalf of these clients. The City of Bakersfield fits extremely well within the structure of
Mr. Arnold's current client list and would be advantaged by his experience. In short, Mr.
Arnold has an extremely good grasp of municipal affairs and could immediately begin to work
on municipal issues of interest to the City.
Scope of Representation Program
Arnold and Associates has the capacity to provide a full service advocacy program for the City
of Bakersfield. Having served in top management capacities for two of the most powerful and
influential associations in the state, Mr. Arnold is intimately familiar with what is necessary to
meet the needs of the client and to make the client and effective participant in the legislative
process.
The legislative representation program which Arnold and Associates would provide for the City
of Bakersfield would include the following elements:
1. Provide a full range of advocacy services to influence the outcome of legislative
and administrative actions affecting the interests of the City.
2. Review all bills introduced in the California legislature; inform the City of all
legislation of special interests; and forward copies of all such bills to the City for
review.
3. Track legislation on which the City has taken a position. Provide periodic reports
to the City.
4. Serve as the Legislative Representative of the City in the State Capitol.
5. Prepare periodic reportS to the City which summarize the activities taken on
behalf of the client and which offer useful information on Sacramento legislative
activity.
6. Arrange meetings with legislative representatives when necessary and be prepared
to participate as required.
Compensation
The legislative representation program described in this proposal would be offered at a fee
commensurate with the budget of the City of Bakersfield, and the difficulty level anticipated
during 1995. If the City is interested in our proposal, we can develop a compensation program
which is fair for all parties.

DATE: March 2, 1995
SUBJECT: Budget Update
The Assembly Budget committee held its first hearing on Wednesday March 1.
Assemblyman Vasconcellos is the Chairman of the committee. The other members are as
follows: Poochigian, Alby, Bates, Bowen, Caldera, Cunneen, Ducheny, Escutia, Hannigan,
Harvey, Hawkins, Knowles, Machado, Morrow, W. Murray, Napolitano, Pringle,
Thompson, and a vacancy. (20 members; 10 from each party!)
The Governor's Position
The hearing consisted of a general overview of the Governor's Proposed 1995-96 State
Budget. Steve Olsen, Deputy Director, Department of Finance, made the first presentation.
Mr. Olsen began by comparing state expenditures and revenues. The two largest general
fund expenditures are Education (K through 12) at 38.8% and Health and Welfare at 27.3%.
The two largest general fund revenues are Personal Income Tax at 45.8 % and Sales Tax at
35.1%.
Mr. Olsen then began discussing the 1995-96 budget outlook. Many factors, such as slower
than anticipated growth in health and welfare entitlement programs and improved economic
conditions, have improved California's underlying fiscal situation by $1.3 billion. This was
offset by shortfalls in federal immigration funding of $3.3 billion. As a result, California
faces a $2 billion shortfall in 1994-95.
1127 Eleventh Street, Suite 820, Sacramento, California 95814 · (916) 446-2646 · .' FAX (916) 446-6095
The Governor's Budget addresses this shortfall as follows: - Health & welfare reduction of $1.4 billion
- Federal funds increases of $610 million.
- State-County realignment savings of $240 million.
- Offset by $225 million from tax proposal.
Mr. Olsen concluded his presentation with a short discussion of each of the above proposals.
He then answered questions from the committee.
Chief Legislative Analyst - Budget Analysis
The second presentation was given by Elizabeth Hill, Legislative Analyst. Ms. Hill began
her presentation with a discussion of the pending litigation facing the state. This pending
litigation poses budget threats totaling over $3.5 billion. She also discussed some of the
other major budget risks involved in the Governor's 1995-96 budget. These other risks
involve reliance on specific federal and local actions.
Ms. Hill then went on to discuss the budget gap mentioned earlier. The General Fund will
end 1994-95 with a deficit of $740 million (which is less than the $1.0 billion year-end
deficit projected in July). After you factor in the $1.2 billion operating shortfall, that results
in a 1995-96 year-end budget deficit of $2 billion if no corrective action is taken.
This gap represents the minimum amount of savings and/or revenue from changes to e:~isting
laws and policies that is needed in order to achieve a balanced budget in 1995-96.
Next, Ms. Hill briefly discussed the Governor's proposed resolution of the budget gap, and
again discussed the major risks involved. She reviewed initiative measures which limit the
government's fiscal flexibility (e.g. Prop 98). She also compared strategies used to address
budget gaps in the past.
Finally, Ms. Hill presented a summary of the Budget Analysis prepared by her office: The
Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO). The overall assessment of the Governor's Budget which
is contained in the LAO's report suggests that this budget is seriously flawed, exacerbates
county budget pressures, and gives coUnties few tools with which to control costs. She
specifically referenced the Governor's proposal for "realignment" of government services as
follows:
1. She believes the Childrens Services component has merit and supports this
proposal to increase positive local incentives for counties. Under this proposal
the Governor suggests that counties take over more control for child welfare,
foster care and adoptions. In return, the Governor proposes to shift $710
million of sales tax revenue to counties. Ms. Hill believes this portion of the
realignment proposal would work well.
2. She is very critical of the Governor's proposal to shift responsibility for the
AFDC programs to the counties. In fact, she refers to this proposal as being
"seriously flawed." In our conversations with representatives from the
California State Association of Counties (CSAC) they advised us that they
believe this portion of the realignment proposal would cause counties to
experience a funding deficit of approximately $250 million per year. Even
though the Governor is proposing to take over more of the costs related to trial
courts, it would still not be a good trade for counties.
Political Commentary
Unfortunately, much .partisan bickering occurred throughout this important committee
hearing. This is probably a sign of things to come. As we move into more comprehensive
debate considering specific aspects of the Governor's budget proposal we anticiPate the
partisan debate to become even more shrill.
The good news, however, is that cities are still not a part of this budget debate. We shall do
our best to keep our revenues out of the mix!

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVED
FROM: Gregory J. Klimko, Finance Director DEPARTMENT IIEAD
DATE: March 2, 1995 CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: An Ordinance amending Subsection B of Section 5.02.060, Section 5.02.070, Subsection
A of Section 5.02.200 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and adding Subsection D to
Section 5.02.200 to the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to the Business License Tax.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends first reading of Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: Inconsistencies in Municipal Code Chapter 5.02 require correction. Section
5.02.020 states that the business license tax "is enacted solely to raise revenue for municipal purposes,
and is not intended for regulation." Yet other provisions in the chapter (5.02.070) contradict this
stated purpose by providing for revocation or suspension of the business license, and by requiring
review of the business' compliance with federal, state and local law prior to issuance of the certificate.
This vastly expands the role of the Treasurer to enforcing all federal, state and local laws, even those
having nothing to do with the traditional purview of the Treasurer.
Continued regulation through the Business License Tax Ordinance could jeopardize this revenue
stream. Case law provides that fees levied for the purpose of regulation under the police power must
bear some reasonable relation to the expense of such regulation, while revenue raising taxes do not.
Currently, business license revenue is about $1.5 million annually and administrative costs are about
$150,000. Under a regulatory ordinance, only costs of regulation can be charged as a fee which means
business license revenue would decrease about $1.35 million.
This amendment removes any regulatory aspects of the tax, including review of the business for
compliance with the law. A business tax certificate issued for revenue-raising purposes only is merely
a receipt. It should be issued upon the payment of the appropriate tax. Staff will, however, refer the
name and location of any new business to the Planning and Building Departments for investigation
into its Compliance with the law.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1995
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER '
FROM: RAUL ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/~~~
SUBJECT: STAMPED ASPHALT FOR MEDIAN ISLANDS
On February 21, Arnold Ramming, an Engineer III in the Design Section, went to a
demonstration of the process for stamping asphalt concrete pavement. Granite Construction
hosted this demonstration which consisted of replacing a portion of their front driveway with
stamped asphalt concrete pavement. Integrated Paving Concepts, (IPC), Inc. assisted
Granite wity the demonstration. IPC holds the United States patent for decorative stamping
of asphalt concrete pavement and issues a limited number of licenses to qualified
contractors. Granite Construction, a local contractor, is Currently considering becoming an
authorized applicator of IPC's process. IPC has stated that, based on population, they
anticipate limiting the number of authorized applicators in Kern County to two contractors.
The process utilizes a modified asphalt concrete which is harder than normal to minimize
rutting of the asphalt and loss of the stamped pattern due to vehicular traffic. After the
asphalt concrete is placed on the road, a brick pattern template is positioned on the surface.
Vibratory equipment then presses the template into the asphalt concrete -resulting in the
stamped pattern. Allowing time for water an gasses in the pavement to evaporate, two coats
of protective sealants are then applied ten days later. These sealants provide color to the
"brick" pavement protect the pavement from moisture.
IPS shared some national cost data comparing their stamped asphalt to other pavement
systems. Based on their studies, decorative concrete, similar to our stamped concrete, has
an installed cost of between $4.50and $10.00per square foot. IPC'sstamped asphalt costs
between $2.75 and $4.00 per square foot.
IPC offers a choice of several brick patterns and several colors. Applications of their
process have included street reconstruction, driveways and pedestrian walkways. It has also
been utilized as effective accents in driveways and walkways. Since the templates come in
various sizes, no project is too narrow nor too wide.
When applied to raised n~edians, modification of the asphalt would not be necessary since
it will not be subjected to vehicular traffic.
~ARNOLD\$TMPD AC\TANDY.222 ~'~
FEB 2 Igg5
Granite Construction stated that they will consider doing a demonstration on a selected
median island, should they decide to start offering this process. They see their main market
for this process as being residential and commercial driveways and sidewalks.
The closest currently authorized applicator is in Atascadero. IPC stated that they are
talking with a contractor in Fresno who is interested in becoming a licensed applicator.
Being a patented process, we will need to develop a generic specification. IPC has offered
to provide us with a list of municipalities that have specified their process on public works
projects. We will contact those municipalities to find out how they handled the patent issue
to obtain competitive bids.

Economic and Community Development Department
MEMORANDUM
March 8, 1995
TO: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director
FROM: Myra McArthur, Planning Techrfician~')d'
SUBJECT: Graffiti Update
1995 promises to be a very productive year. Several projects are already underway. The
following is a brief summary of the last two months of anti-graffiti activity.
HotLine
In January, we received 209 calls in the HotLine. Four of those calls were from community
groups who volunteered to have paint-out days. In addition, 18 people were given the County
Graffiti number, 3 individuals volunteered to paint their own residences, 6 of our "old" volunteers
needed to have more paint, and another 20 "old" volunteers called to report about 30 vandalized
addresses. These volunteers help us "patrol" the city.
In February, there were 228 HotLine calls. Four of those calls were from people who praised
the program and were happy with the work done by the City painters. We encouraged them to
write to the painters' supervisor and/or their Council member. Twenty-four callers agreed with
the effectiveness of immediate removal and volunteered to paint their places.
The County has improved its graffiti removal program. They have a person who daily checks
the HotLine. During the months of January and February, 23 city addresses were reported to us.
During the same period, we referred 22 individuals to the County.
Community Involvement
Since the beginning of this year, I have been working closely with Rachel Meek, Police
Department's Neighborhood Watch. During the months of January and February I have
participated in 6 Neighborhood Watch meetings, mainly in the CDBG area. So far, as a result
of those meetings, we have 3 sections of the Lake St. canal adopted by three different individuals,
plus several neighbors volunteering to paint their own places. It is great to feel their strength as
they realize we are behind them in their fight againSt crime.
1995
I have also established connections with the Carnation Track Association, the Kern County
Apartments Association, and the Hispanic Advisory Council. I will be making presentations to
these organizations in the month of March.
On February 10th, I explained the City's anti-graffiti program to Williams School's Community
Involvement Committee. Gary Boleschka, Kern County Probation Department, was also present
and explained the County's program. The response was very positive, most of the committee
members were City residents who had been served by our program. Their positive attitude was
great. Our program was praised because of promptness and matching paint policy.
The community's growing awareness of our graffiti program was manifested on February 21 st,
when Jennifer White, a Bakersfield College student, called me and said that her Girl Scout's Gold
Award project (equal to a Boy Scout Eagle Award) will be a written and oral report, plus a video
featuring Bakersfield's Anti-graffiti program. This will be presented to the National Girl Scout
Council. I gave Jennifer information about the program, the city ordinances, and the latest
graffiti legislation. I also took advantage of this opportunity and promoted the program.
Bakersfield City School District
Our graffiti project involving the City Schools is going as scheduled. On February 2nd, I met
with Mrs. Sakamaki, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction. After discussing in detail the
upcoming activities, she asked me to attend the Superintendent's Advisory Board Meeting on
February 27th and ask for their approval. Council member Pat DeMond and I attended that
meeting. There were no objections, except to the date we had set for the Poster & Essay Awards
Ceremony. The proposed date was Friday, May 19, at 6:30 p.m., because that was the only time
we could use the School District's Auditorium. It was suggested we do it outdoors, possibly at
a Park, at about 5:30 p.m., and on a Wednesday or Thursday. The final date, time, and place of
the Awards Ceremony will be decided within a couple of days from this writing.
A Poster and Essay Contest flyer will be printed as soon as the date and place of the Awards
Ceremony is decided. A copy of our rough draft is attached for your final approval.
On February 24th, I talked to Fred Prado, Jack-In-The-Box General Manager for the Bakersfield
Area, and obtained a donation of about 200 Kids Meal Certificates, enough for all the winners
of the essay and poster contest.
On February 28th, I contacted Jim Munoz, Time Warner Cable Head Human Resources. He
agreed to be one of the four sponsors we need to fund the anti-graffiti coloring book, which will
be given to the City School District's third-grade students and to the contest participants. (The
minimum order of coloring books is 5,000. At $0.27 each, we need to collect $1,350)
In our effort to involve Jr. High age youth in graffiti removal activities, I have contacted the
Principals and PTA Boards of Chipman, Compton, Emerson, and Stiern. I will be going to
Curran, Washington and Sierra Jr. High Schools in March. As expected, some groups are more
receptive than others, but the excitement and support of the ones who participate overshadows
the rest.
2
Emerson Jr. High has been a fine example of what can happen when students are given the trust
and opportunity to accomplish great things. On Friday, February 17th, 24 students were bused
at 9:00 a.m. to the Oak St. overpass at 16 St. & Oak. to erase graffiti. It was a great experience.
All three local T.V. stations were present and the students loved it. More details are included
in the attached media advisory copy.
We have already identified the students who will participate in the anti-graffiti skit to be
presented at the Awards Ceremony in May. This is another exciting project for the students. We
will begin rehersals shortly.
T.A.G. Day
The Mayor's 1995 Youth Council is busy making all the preparations necessary to have another
successful T.A.G. day. As you may recall, last year, the Mayor's 1994 Youth Council organized
the first Teens Against Graffiti Day in Bakersfield. After recruiting the help of hundreds of
students from 'the whole Kern High School District, identifying numerous graffiti vandalized
addresses, securing consent forms, organizing the delivery of matching paint, and obtaining a total
of $4,295 in donations, on T.A.G., the students painted over 500 addresses, and received the
praises of the whole community. VISTAs Bob Chandler, Louis Armitage, Tracie King, and
myself are acting as advisors and giving these students all the help they need. It is exciting to
see them so involved and dedicated. The actual day of this year's event will be decided soon.

EMERSON JR. HIGH FIGHTS GRAFFITI
Club Live, a Junior High group formed to help prevent the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other
drugs by their peers, will paint out graffiti under the Oak St. overpass, at 16 St. & Oak, at
9:00 a. m. Friday, February 17th. This group develops and supports alternative activities,
community action, assembly presentations, and leadership training to engender a feeling of
accomplishment and self worth in the young people in Junior High School. Twenty two club
members and several school advisors will participate in the Friday activity.
Katherine Lomely with the Kern County Mental Health Substance Abuse Program is the Club
Live Coordinator for Kern County. She will be on hand for interviews. Also on board will be
Terry Blair, Emerson Jr. High Club Live advisor.
Emerson Jr. High Principal, Don Gill, says the school is squarely behind this program. The
school is providing transportation to and from the graffiti site. City of Bakersfield 32-ERASE
Program is providing the paint and equipment. This is another example of th~ ongoing effort to
combat drugs, delinquency, and graffiti in Bakersfield.
After the paint-out, the Taco Bell franchise at California & Oak will provide lunch for the
participants.

SUBJECT: CLEANUP PROJECT - KERN RIVER PARKWAY
(Letter Dated February 24, 1995, From Rich O'Neill)
In response to a letter from the Kern River Parkway Foundation
asking for assistance on a cleanup and improvement project for the
Kern River Parkway, the following is submitted (See Attached
Letter).
The Parks and Water Departments have begun to trim the trees along
the flood line in the group picnic area and all of the cut brush
will be picked up and removed at that time.
The Parks Department has made arrangements for the requested
dumpster and bins along the bike path area for Saturday's event.
We have also made available vehicles to haul any equipment or
materials related to the cleanup. Volunteers will be available on
March 11 to help with cleanup.
I should mention that the purpose of the project is to cleanup the
parkway in preparation for the Clean Air Day Rally to be held in
the near future. We have been in contact with the Kern River
Foundation and the project is proceeding nicely. Staff feels that
this is a great project and will do everything possible to assist
the Foundation.
If I can provide further information, please contact me at your
convenience.

To: Frank Fabbri, Director Bakersfield Parks and Recreation Dept
Ref: Clean up project proposal for the Kern River Parkway
Dear Mr. Fabbri;
The Kern River Parkway Foundation wo~d like to ask the Parks and ..
Recreation Depa~ment of the City of ~kersfield if your Department would
join us in a "clean-up, and improvement project within the Kern River
Parkway.
Specifically, would the City trim the trees (mostly Cottonwoods and
Willow) that lie along the primary flood line at the newly constru~.
Group Picnic Area? We ask that no California Native Trees be removed but ~ther
trinl~ed up (to a max of 8 ft.) in order to improve safety, security, and
aesthetics, Additionally there is much glass, sharp brick pieces, and
paper debris in this area (between Hwy 99 to Group Pi~ic Area drainage
outlet) to be clean~ up. ·
'The Kern River Parkway Foundation wo~d like the work completedbefore
or by March llth if possible.
On this day of March 11 (8:30 to 12 noon), we will be having volunteers
from several organizations clean other areas along the River between Beach Park
and Truxtun Lake. We will be planting trees, improving the dirt path
(jogging/mountain b~e trail), and picking up tumble weeds and other trash.
Could your Department also park dumpsters and l~ge trash cans at each
staging area? -- the PAR Course, Texa~ ~rking Lot, and the Bike ~ Rest-
stop area between the two Lakes.
We appreciate any assistance you can offer with these projects. The
Water Department has offered a tractor with a front blade to help smooth
the dirtmountain bike trail. This trail can double as a parkmainten~ce
Nd levee district inspection road.·
The Kern River Parkway Foundation is readying the Parkway and its'
trails for the Clean Air Day Rally to ~held soon. Volunteer to help with
the March 11 Clean up day will arrive at 8:30 AM.
Plaese call if you have any further questions.
