MEMORANDUM
May 5, 1995
TO' HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL~~
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. There is a memo enclosed which is a follow-up to a committee meetin9
held several months ago. The inquiry was whether the companies doing
tow truck business for us would be willing to annex. Responses are
enclosed in a memo from Jack Hardisty. Action on the two willing to
annex will be initiated.
2. We are cautiously optimistic that some progress is being made in terms
of the County Tax Split Issue. At least at the staff level they are
expressing some additional understanding of our perceptions on the
subject matter. The appointment of a new CAO--which could be as early
as next week--may have an impact.
3. As many of you know, we continue to have complaints about feeding
programs by churches in Central Park and the negative impacts that has
had on usage of the park and on the adjacent museum. The same has
been true at International Square to some degree. Further legal
research has shown that they are not in violation of our ordinances to
be doing the feeding program. We will ask for voluntary cooperation
in trying to reduce the impact on the museum.
4. On a fairly significant note, the Plan Check is underway for the
theater expansion within the East Hills Mall. Construction has, of
course, begun on the theater expansion outside the Mall. I know there
was concern when we approved the outside item that the inside
expansion wouldn't occur. So, we are pleased to report that it's
underway.
5. A copy of a grant application is enclosed. We are applying for ISTEA
money for the Amtrak Station. I don't know what the likelihood is,
but we're giving it a shot.
6. I found the trip to England to be very worthwhile and educational. I
had a chance to see a regional consolidation functioning, for example,
which is somewhat parallel with our regional island annexation goals,
and to learn how they had dealt with that before and after. Also

interesting to see, Bakersfield's influence is worldwide in that I met
the individual who is now sponsoring the Yorkshire Business Conference
modeled directly after ours. Also interesting was Bradford's effort
to deal with some of the same image-related problems within their own
region that we experience in California.
You may also be interested to now that you work way harder than your
counterparts in Bradford, England. There are 90 of them to represent
a regional population of about 400,000. Your ratio of population for
elected officials is about ten times as high as what theirs is!
Overall, I did find it to be a very beneficial experience.
7. The John Q. Hammons' people are in the process of trying to set a date
for the opening party. Mr. Hammons' schedule is extremely
constrained. I hope to be able to advise you very soon when the
opening celebration will be.
8. Our new population estimate is in from the state. We are now 212,634.
9. Enclosed you will find a response to the Council inquiry on the Panama
and Fortune issue.
10. The Hockey League informs me that they are making progress in Reno as
far as getting that city added to the league. There are technical
issues and so on, but they have an adopted 90-day Exclusive Right to
Negotiate and are pushing .hard on getting it going. Meanwhile, they
have located a full-time person in the Bakersfield community to begin
to prepare for ticket sales and the like.
11. And we are in the final stages of putting the budget together which
will be formally presented to you at the meeting of May 17. After
that, the detailed departmental presentations will follow. Let me
remind you again, that the new computer system and software programs
will change some format. It has also made the process more complex
this year, but nonetheless, we will have a reasonably positive budget
for you to consider.
12. Enclosed is correspondence from the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra
expressing their commitment to a new Performing Arts Center.
13. Also enclosed is a letter from Time Warner Cable indicating their
attempt to permanently remove the City's telephone number from the
customers' monthly bills.
14. A response from Raul Rojas to Councilmember Rowles' request regarding
the Richard Maxwell Interchange Memorial is enclosed.

15. Development Services Department Status Report is enclosed for your
information, as well as a memorandum from Frank Fabbri outlining the
status of the maintenance district expenditures and a response to a
Council referral on an assessment protest.
16. HOK is still under contract to do the work on the baseball stadium.
After meeting with team owners to develop a "program", their written
report is enclosed. They have also started work on the Sam Lynn
estimate.

The Honorable William M. Thomas
20th District Representative
2209 Raybum House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515.
Dear Congressman Thomas:
The City of Bakersfield and the Kern Council of Governments, the regional transportation
planning agency, wish to take this opportunity to submit a request for federal ISTEA funding
for a specific transportation project ~ an h'ttem~todal Amtrak station. Responses to the
House Public Works Committee's project criteria are attached.
At present, the local, regional and intercity carriers, including Amtrak, serving Bakersfield use
four different terminals in and near downtown. By integrating these facilities in an expanded
Amtrak station, the proposed intermodal Amtrak station would improve transportation system
efficiency and encourage people to switch from personal automobiles to public transportation.
The project has not developed past the blueprint stage because of funding limitations. We
would appreciate your assistance in obtaining authorization and funding for the project.
Sincerely,
City of Bakersfield Kern Council of Governments
~f/~-- Ronald E. Brummet
Executive Director
City Manager

Bakersfield · California · 93301
(gCIr;~ ~,')(-.,-R7r;1 · Fn.z (RDr;I R')zl.-1gql3
The following are responses to the eighteen project criteria for the House Public Works
Committee Authorization Bill, regarding the intermodal Amtrak station.
Project Criteria
1. Identify the state or other qualified recipient responsible for carrying out the
project.
The project will be constructed cooperatively by Caltrans and the city of
Bakersfield.
2. Describe the design, scope and objectives of the project, including the phase or
phases proposed for funding.
The obiective of the project is to accommodate growth in passenger rail transit
traffic, and to facilitate intermodal transportation. It will mitigate the worsening
traffic congestion and air quality. An expanded Amtrak station in a new location
would also provide a multimodal focal point in the long term transportation
planning which also includes a High Speed Ground Transportation terminal.
Bakersfield is a hub for intercity buses and a key railhead for Amtrak. At present,
the local, regional and intercity carriers serving Bakersfield use four different
terminals in and near downtown. The proposed Amtrak station would serve as an
intermodal terminal and improve transportation system efficiency and passenger
convenience.
3. Is the project eligible for the use of Federal-aid-funds?
Yes.
4. What is the total project cost and source of funds?
The total project cost is estimated to be $17 million. The funding request is for
$11 million. The project has strong local support, and approximately $6 million
has been made available through local and state funding.
5. Will there be private sector funding for a portion of the project and, if so, how
much private sector financing is being made available for the project?
No.
Page 2 of 4
6. Will the completion costs for the project exceed the amounts requested for the
project?
No. The project will be completed if the requested $11 million is granted.
7. Has early work, such as preliminary engineering and environmental analysis been
done on the project?
Yes. The Kern Council of Governments, the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) for the region, and the city of Bakersfield conducted a study in 1988,
Bakersfield Intermodal Transit Facility Plan, which identified a site for the Amtrak
station. Potential environmental impacts were also analyzed and the city of
Bakersfield declared that there were no significant environmental impacts. Caltrans
will complete the final phase of the engineering and environmental analysis, if
funding is approved.
8. What is the proposed schedule for the project?
Final engineering and environmental analysis will be completed by November
1997. Construction of the intermodal terminal will be completed by July 1999.
9. Is the project included in the metropolitan and/or State transportation improvement
plan(s), and if so, scheduled for funding?
Yes. However, the project is only partially funded with state and local funding.
10. Is the project considered by State and/or regional transportation officials as critical
to their needs?
Yes. Regional and state transportation agencies have recognized the critical need
for an intermodal passenger terminal in Bakersfield. Downtown traffic circulation,
capacity to meet the growing passenger traffic, and improving transit connectivity
are contingent upon the proposed intermodal terminal.
Page 3 of 4
11. Why have State and/or regional transportation officials not given this project
sufficient priority to obtain funding through the normal ISTEA funding process?
Even if STP funds were dedicated to this project alone, the regional does not
receive adequate money to fully fund the project. Additional federal funds are,
therefore, crucial to complete the project.
12. Has the proposed project encountered, or is it likely to encounter, any significant
opposition or other obstacles based on environmental or other types of concerns?
No.
13. How will the project objectives be attained?
The intermodal Amtrak station will relieve traffic congestion at the present site.
Better access and connectivity between the modes will also encourage non-users of
transit to leave their automobiles and use public transportation.
14. Describe the economic, energy efficiency, environmental, congestion mitigation and
safety effects associated with the completion of the project.
As has been stated before, the proposed intermodal terminal will relieve traffic
congestion at the present Amtrak station. The transportation system efficiency will
be improved because of the connectivity between the modes--rail, bus and car.
The project will also provide for a safer traffic movement through the grade
separation component.
15. Will the project require an additional investment in other infrastructure projects? If
so, how will these projects be funded?
Yes. The additional infrastructure investment will be in the form of a grade-
separation project. Funding for the grade-separation project will come from the
state Public Utilities Commission's grade separation program.
Page 4 of 4
16. In lieu of the proposed project, what other transportation strategies have been
considered by State and local transportation officials?
State and local transportation agencies agree that a new Amtrak station needs to be
constructed, and that there is no other equally effective strategy. Even this
proposed location for the terminal was chosen only after extensive studies of 16
alternative sites.
17. Is the authorization requested an increase to a previously authorized amount for
this project, or would this be the first authorization for this project? Has this
project previously received federal fundings, commitments regarding furore federal
funding (such as an LOI or Full Funding Agreement), or appropriations?
No federal funds have been requested for this project in the past. This is the first
request for federal funding for the intermodal terminal.
18. If the Highway Trust Fund revenue are not made available for the project, would
you support general fund revenues for it?
Yes. However, we are not aware of the requirements and conditions associated
with financing a project with general fund revenues.

Appropriations Limit
Article XIII B of the California Constitution specifies that appropriations made by State and local
governments may increase annually by a factor comprised of the change in population combined with
either the change in California per capita personal incbme or thc change in the local assessment roll duc
to local nonresidential construction.
The Department of Finance is mandated to provide t, he population and California per capita personal
income change data for local jurisdictions' to calculate their appropriation limits. The change in the
local assessment roll due to local nonresidential construction may be obtained from your county
Assessor. The enclosures contain price and population factors for setting your 1995-96 appropriation
Enclosure I provides the change in California's per capita personal income price factor. An example of
how to utilize this price factor and the population percentage change factor in calculating your 1995-96
limit is included. ,
Enclosure Il provides the population percentage change factors for cities and counties.
Enclosure IIA provides the population percentage change factor for counties and for the total
incorporated population of each county.
These population percentage changes were prepared pursuant to Sections 2227 and 2228 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code and are calculated as of January 1, 1995. Section 2227 specifies that state
mental institutions, federal military bases and state and federal prisons be excluded from the percentage
change calculations.
Population Factors for Cities and Counties
Cities and counties should consult Section 7901 of the Government Code for the various population
factors that may be used for purposes of change in population.
Population Factors for Special Districts
Special districts should consult Section 7901 of the Government Code and Section 2228 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code for the various population factors that may be used for purposes of change
in population.
May 1, 1995
Page 2
Article XIII B, Section 9(c) states that special districts in existence on January 1, 1978, which levied a
tax of' 12-1/2 cents or less per $100 assessed value on property within their boundaries as of the'
1977-78 fiscal year are permanently exempt from establishing appropriation limits. In addition, any
special districts in existence or created thereafter whose sole funding source is from nonproceeds of
taxes are also exempt. Therefore, special districts which meet either of these two tests do not need to
establish appropriation limits.
This letter may be received by special districts, which were exempt from establishing appropriation
limits by Article XIII B, Section 9(c). Receipt of this letter should not be construed as a requirement by
the Department of Finance to establish an appropriation limit.
Certification -
The certification program applies to cities and counties only and does not apply to special districts.
Sections 11005.6 and 30462.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 21022 Streets and Highways
Code, and Section 38421 Vehicle Code specify that ifa Department of Finance population estimate is
greater than the current certified population the Department. shall automatichlly file a certified copy
with the Controller not less than 25 days nor more than 30 days after completion of the estimate. The
Department will certify the higher estimate unless a written request not to certify is received by the
Department from the city or county within 25 days of the completion of the estimate. A city or county
requesting that their higher estimate not be certified will remain at the current certified population.
The Department of Finance will not certify a population estimate that is lower than the current certified
population unless requested to do so by a city or a county. The request for certification must be
received by the Department on or before June 1, ! 995.

A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their
cost-of-living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their
governing body. Local jurisdictions may select either the percentage change in
California per capita personal income or the percentage change in the local
assessment roll due to the addition of local nonresidential new construction. If the
percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage changes
to be used in setting 1995-96 appropriation limit are:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Percentage change -
Year (FY) over prior year
1995-96 4.72
B. Following is an example using sample population changes and the changes in
California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 1995-96
appropriations limit.*
1995-96:
Per Capita Change = 4.72 percent
Population Change = 1.31 percent
Per Capita converted to a ratio: 4.72 + I00 = 1.0472
100
Population converted to a ratio: 1 ;31 + 100 = 1.0131
100
Calculation of factor forFY 95-96: 1.0472 x 1.0131 = 1.0609

STREET - CITY COUNCIL REFERRAL #14867
Staff has reviewed the case files referred to in the.correspondence from James T. Rowland,
dated March 28, 1995, attached to City Council referral #14867, regarding the zoning of
property located at the northeast corner of Panama Lane and Fortune Street. The files indicated
the following: '
Zone Change 4683: Request for rezoning from C-1 and R-2 to P.C.D.; Ord. 3157 (5-28-88).
· As noted in the above-mentioned zone change file, the subject property (NEC
Panama/Fortune) was zoned R-2 (not C-I). The C-1 zoning only existed on the NEC
Panama/WiNe, the existing shopping center located west of the subject property.
· The P.C.D. zone was not implemented since final development plans for a restaurant (at
NEC Panama/Fortune) were not submitted for P.C. approval and therefore, the proposal°
was not developed. ·
CUP 5033: Request for approval on the existing R-2 zone to be used 'for off-site pa/king for the
existing shopping center to the west; BZA decision to approve, subject to conditions (6-12-90).
· As noted in the above-mentioned CUP file, the subject property was zoned R-2 (not
C-i). Again, the C-1 zoning applies only to the existing shopping center to the west.
CONCLUSION:
Both of the previously mentioned actions (ZC 4683 and CUP 5033) would not have resulted in
the subject property being rezoned to C-1. Therefore, the existing R-2 zone still applies.
Rezoning the property to commercial would require submittal and processing of a zone change
application. It should also be noted, that GPA 3-87, Segment II, contained a condition of
approval requiring approved P.C.D. zoning for the commercial shopping center (including the
subject property).

DEAR MR, SALVAGGIO:
THE PURPOSE OF THIS LE1-FER IS TO INITIATE A FORMAL REQUEST TO HAVE

PROPERTY ON THE CORNER OF PANAMA LANE & FORTUNE STREET. (DIRECTLY
ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY SHOPPING CENTER). IDENTIFIED AS ASSESSOR
PARCEL NUMBER 372-253-16,17,18. (SEE ATTACHMENTS).
IN APPROXIMATELY 1987 I APPLIED FOR A PERMIT TO CHANGE THE ZONING TO
"PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT" BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I HAD PLANS~TO
BUILD A RESTAURANT ON THE CONSTRUCTION PAD WHICH IS INCLUDED WITH THE
PARKING LOT WHICH I WAS COMPLETING. THE RESTAURANT NEVER MATERIALIZED
AND THE PROPERTY REVERTED BACK TO R-2 WITH THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING' PAD
IN PLACE.
IN 1990 I AGAIN APPLIED FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (#5033) TO ALLOW
EXTENDED AUTOMOBILE PARKING FOR THE EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER LOCATED
TO THE WEST (ACROSS FORTUNE, SEE ATTACHMENTS). SUBJECT 'SHOPPING CENTER
IS NOW ZONED C-1,
THE SHOPPING CENTER' WAS DEVELOPED WITH PARKING AT THE RATE OF ONE SPACE-
PER 300 SQUARE FEET, WHICH WAS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT AT THE TIME THE
SHOPPING CENTER WAS DEVELOPED.(SEE STAFF REPORT DATED JUNE 12,1990
ENCLOSED).
THE P.C.D. ZONING THAT WOULD INCORPORATE BOTH PROPERTIES ON BOTH SIDES
OF FORTUNE AS A SINGLE DEVELOPMENT HAS SINCE EXPIRED & REVERTED BACK TO
R-2, BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANY PLANS TO COMPLETE THE BUILDING PAD AT
THAT TIME.
(13
-CONT.-
THE PARKING LOT~HAS BEEN COMPLETED PER PLANNING DEPARTMENT SPECIFICATIONS
WITH APPROXIMATELY 25 PARKING SPACES ALLOCATED FOR THE SHOPPING CENTER
WHICH AS STATED PREVIOUSLY IS ZONED C-1, HOWEVER, SINCE I COMPLETED THE
PARKING LOT TO SPECIFICATIONS BUT DID NOT BUILD ON THE CONSTRUCTION PAD,
THE ZONING ON THAT PROPERTY ERRONEOUSLY REVERTED TO R-2 AGA)N.
I HAVE PAID NECESSARY FEES ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS & THE ZONING HAS
REVERTED BACK TO R-2 ON BOTH OCCASIONS, WHICH MEANS THAT I STILL. DO NOT
HAVE C-1 ZONING ON THIS PROPERTY NECESSARY TO BUILD OR'SELL A COII4ERCIAL
FACILITY ON THIS PAD.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER TO REFLECT-THE_
PROPER ZONING OF=C-1 FOR BOTH PROPERTIES, AS ITWAS ORIGINALLY INTENDEI),

Dear Alan:
The Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra is fundamentally committed to the concept of
a new Performing Arts Center and is currently considering a number of alternatives.
Our needs are for a suitable performing hall with superior acoustic qualities and seating
for approximately 1,500 people. While we may have specific preferences to location,
we are interested in working within the context of what develops from the current
Bakersfield Action Team. We recognize that our specific requirements for acoustic
quality and other amenities associated with a Symphony performance means that we
must be responsible for a significant fund raising activity associated with any city-
sponsored project.
I look forward to continuing to work with the City of Bakersfield, the Bakersfield
Action Team, and ~ith you personally as these concepts are further developed.

SUBJECT: RICHARD MAXWELL INTERCHANGE MEMORIAL ~'
COUNCIL REFERRAL #14789 WARD 5
At the request of Councilmember Rowles, staff has been assisting Mr. Louis Vegas in the
establishment of a memorial for slain CHP officer Richard Maxwell. The original request
from Councilmember Rowles was to grant an easement on City property for the memorial.
While staff will do whatever necessary to assist Mr. Vegas, some technical problems have
surfaced that must be addressed. The following will outline those problems:
1. The City does not currently own the land where the memorial is proposed to be
erected. Ownership rests with CalTrans. Relinquishment of this ownership will be
accomplished by CalTrans after they obtain ownership of a small adjacent piece.
This small acquisition may take some time and involve eminent domain by CalTrans.
2. The area where the memorial is proposed is not currently located within the
incorporated limits of the City.
3. The relinquishment in the unincorporated area was offered to the County which they
refused to accept. The City accepted that portion which is within the City limits
through Resolution 163-93 attached hereto.
4. CalTrans would like to relinquish that portion of land which is in. the unincorporated
area of Bakersfield to the City. The City would have to accept this relinquishment
by resolution. Since this area is outside the corporate limits, the land would be
subject to property tax.
5. Mr. Vegas has assembled an extensive group of tradesmen to actually construct the
memorial. Apparently, he is ready to go with actual construction. Since the property
currently, belongs to CalTrans, an encroachment permit will be necessary.
Page 1 of 2
RECOMMENDATION
In order to have the memorial constructed in a timely manner, the City would have to get
involved. This would require applying for and obtaining an encroachment permit from the
State and assuring them the City would accept the relinquishment. In order to avoid paying
property tax, the area must be annexed. Since this project appears to have widespread
public support, it may be beneficial to offer our assistance to the fullest extent possible.

STATUS REPORT
· April 29, 1995
Welcome back! We scheduled Spring for the beginning of May just so you
wouldn't miss it..
1. Crystal Palace at Pierce Road and Select Avenue has received its building permit.
2. The East Hills stand-alone U.A. theater has started construction.
3. The East Hills in-mall U.A. has been working. with us on plans to expand and
reorient its entrance. Formal submission should be coming within a month.
4. The Auburn Street apartments are still in plan check. Permits for the entire
complex will likely be obtained towards the end of May or beginning of June.
5. We are still working with the designers on the new shopping center at Coffee and
Hageman Roads. No indication yet on when the plans might be submitted.
6. Holiday R.V. is still working on its move to the Auto Plaza. We have been
working with ED/CD to supply info for their NEPA documents.
7. GMC dealership on Union Avenue will probably be moving.to the Auto Mall in
the not too distant future. They have completed the purchase of land in the Auto
plaza and I hear they are growing weary of the destructive vandalism where they
are.
8. The Casa Royale is having problems with some of their rooms: The Fire
Department called us to a fire caused bY faulty wiring, which was required to be
repaired. In review of the building with the firemen to see if it was safe to
occupy, several serious safety problems were found which must be corrected.·
Doors needed for fire escape were nailed shut, windows needed for fire escape
were boarded up, smoke detectors were missing and there was a problem with
structural integrity of a second floor landing. The fire damage was not repaired.'
9. .Death threats are running higher than normal. Last week the Assistant Building
Director received three on his voice mail. The police have been advised.
10. We are getting a lot of complaints about animals in R-1 zones so we will be
taking that issue back to the Planning Commission.
Planning:
11.A notice of intent to sue and request for files has been served on the city for
approving Mesa Marin's expansion.
· 12. A request for modification t° reduce parking for Dr. Fritch south of San Joaquin
Hospital has been continued to May 23, 1995. Staff recommended against it and
there was considerable neighborhood opposition-at the BZA hearing.
13. Councilman McDermott is trying to work out a compromise between the TeVis
Ranch neighbors and the applicant for R-2 zoning at White Lane and Saddle
Drive. He will be absent at the May 3 public hearing and would ·like the matter
continued to May 17, 1995.
14. I received a call from Jim Carstensen about his efforts to develop the southeast
corner of Brimhall and Coffee Roads and conflicts with the Kern River tc,-~,'.
alignment. He followed it· up with a letter which is attached. · It looks like hn
opportunity to acquire .the right-of-way advance of development.
15. Staff met with proponents of a Water Park to be located southwest of Brimhall
and Coffee. They have tried to design it to minimize impacts on neighbors to the
west. Because of the general plan and zoning, a Planned Commercial
Development zone is required. The applicants will have to do a lot of homework
with .the neighbors.
16. I have met with representatives of Kern COG, County Engineer and County
Assessor to discuss a collaborative effort on the GIS. If we can divide the work,
agree on quality standards and share in the benefits we'd all be better off at less
costs. Kern COG will work as a coordinator. Once we define what. we want and
reach agreement on how ·it might be dOne, I would like to have a Workshop with
the City Council.
17. I met with Steve McCalley, Director of Environmental Health Services. We
reassured our mutual goal was improved public service. We will meet again with
our staffs to improve coordination of services.
18. We have sent a letter to Camelot requiring a noise study within 30 days.
19. We are trying to figure out what the budget cuts are so we can respond.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Frank Fabbri, Parks SuperintendentS',
DATE: April 11, 1995
SUBJECT: SPECIAL REPORTS ON PARKS AND LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
DISTRICTS
You had requested reports outlining the status of the maintenance
district expenditures and a tracking of how the districts are doing
in terms of keeping in harmony with their authorized budget. This
is the fourth report prepared.
Expenditures were summarized from 7/1/94 to 2/19/95 (end of a pay
period). This represents 64.11%'of the fiscal year. Approximately
54.64% ($840,036) of the maintenance district budget, after backing
out the applicable subsidies but excluding any adjustment for the
net deficit, has been expended to date. Special mention should be
made of accounting timing differences. These timing differences
will exist at the close of each month. For instance, a February
invoice may not be processed until March.
It is also important to note that the majority of the variance
between the amount of time elapsed (64.11% of the fiscal year)
versus the percentage of the budget expended (54.64%) as of
February 19th will not be savings realized in the 94-95 Maintenance
District budget. During the winter months (November to through mid
March) the Parks Division's temporary workforce is reduced
substantially due to the seasonal nature of this type of work. In
March of 1995, we began to hire back a significant number of
temporary employees.
The proposed 95-96 Maintenance District single family assessments
have recently been submitted to your office for' review.
Anticipated savings from the Consolidated method are reflected in
those assessments.
Please call if you have any questions or need further information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager i e~
FROM: Raul M. Rojas - Public Works D'r
DATE: May 3, 1995
SUBJECT: City Council Referral #14853
Public Testimony Hearing A.D. 94-1
There were two speakers at the public testimony hearing; one in favor and one in
opposition.
Comments
Ms. Elise LaCivita spoke in opposition to the district. Ms. LaCivita said she was not against
the sewer system but was opposed to the way it is being assessed, the amount that is being
assessed and having to pay the annual user fee after the sewer has been installed. She also
wanted the term of the bonds to be extended from 15 to 30 years, the administration costs
reduced from $50 to $20 and elimination of the annual user fee. In addition, Ms. LaCivita
sent a protest letter to the Clerk's Office which also expressed her concern about the total
cost of the district being $50,000.00 more than the $675,000.00 figure given to residents of
the area in our January 14, 1994 letter.
Mr. A. J. Morales spoke in favor of the district. However, most of his comments could be
construed as protests against the amount being assessed. Mr. Morales said he was not
opposed to sewers but said the City should have constructed them 10 years ago when the
area was annexed. He stated that this was the City's mistake and that the residents should
be charged at 1982 or 1984 prices. He also said that money spent for excessive signals and
street lights could be used to pay for the sewers. He complained of having "to go through
an act of congress" to get signature.s and submit petitions to have sewers constructed.
Responses
This area was annexed in December 1985. At that time area residents were told that
annexing to the City would not automatically mean that sewers would be installed.
Construction of a sewer system could only be done if the area residents petitioned the City
to form an assessment district. The City also offered to contribute to the project by paying
the trench paving costs. Over the years approximately 16 petitions have been sent to area
residents. No petitions were returned until mid 1994 when the first petition was returned.
This petition had sufficient signatures to form a district. ~ f .:z i~-,
~TY MANAGER'S OFF~
A preliminary estimate of the costs was sent to property owners at various times in 1993 and
1994. The last letter was sent in January, 1994 (see attached). The $675,000.00 figure in
these letters was based on an estimate of the construction costs and the associated bond
costs. These final costs could not be determined until the sewer project bids were opened.
The Hughes portion of this district contains 157 single family residences. Each parcel is
considered to receive an equal benefit from the sewer system and therefore all parcels will
be assessed equally. The amount of the assessment shown on the notices was based on an
estimate. Prior to the public hearing, bids were opened for the sewer project to be
constructed in the Hughes area, and the low bid received is less than the estimated project
cost as set forth in the Engineer's Report prepared prior to the bid opening. The final
amount assessed to bonds is $616,171.38, $60,000.00 less than the figure quoted in the
January 1994 letter. Therefor, the Final Engineer's Report has lowered the proposed parcel
assessments in the Hughes area correspondingly.
The term of the bonds will be 20 years. Extending the term any longer does not
significantly reduce the annual payment and only increases the amount paid to interest.
The annual $50 administration fee has to be levied separately on an annual basis. This fee
will not apply to this project if the bond sale contract is signed prior to July 3, 1995.
The annual user fee pays for the maintenance of the entire sewage collection, treatment and
disposal system. This fee is charged to all parcels connected to the City sewer and cannot
be eliminated for this area.

Mrs. Debbie Willingham
5021 Corrine Street
Bakersfield, CA. 93304
Dear Mrs. Willingham:
In reply to your recent inquiry concerning sewer service to your neighborhood, we are enclosing a petition
for the construction of a sanitary sewer system within the area shown on Exhibit "A".
The signatures of the owners of more than 60% of the property within the area are required before an
Assessment District can be formed. The petition must be signed by the property owner (not a tenant).
If the property is owned by more than one person, such as husband and wife, only one person needs to
sign the petition. The street address and date must also be included with the signature. Since several
petitions are being circulated in this area, signing more than one petition will not invalidate the petition.
The estimated cost of the district is $675,000.00. The City of Bakersfield will contribute by paving the
trench area upon completion of the project. The estimated cost of a sewer main in the street and a lateral
to the property, line will be aonroximately $4,500 for an average size lot. This cost can be paid in a lump
sum or be spread over a 10-15 year period and added to your property tax bill. All property owners within
the district will be assessed their share of the mainline cost. The connection from the lateral to the house
will be the responsibility of the property owner. Connection to the sewer will not be mandatory.
Please return the signed petition to the Public Works Department, 1501 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield,
California, 93301, attention Lauren Dimberg. If you have any questions, please call Lauren Dimberg at
326-3724.

BENEFICIARIES
First-time homeowners and large-related families will be drawn from the Central
Bakersfield Community, primarily from low-to-moderate income families now renting
multi-family units or sub-standard single dwellings.
The availability of new, quality-built, moderately priced single family homes will
contribute significantly to the upgrading of the affordable housing stock in this
currently-depressed neighborhood. The construction of these homes will incidently
provide a positive stimulus to the minority building trades in the area.

Chelsea Park is a development that will offer affordable housing to a targeted market
group currently residing in the Kern County area that is located centrally in the City
of Bakersfield. The area in City Census Tract 21 is expected to lose population at the
rate of 2.20% over the next 5 years, primarily due to substandard housing.
For comparative purposes, the nearest competing housing development is located
approximately two (2) miles east near the intersection of Brundage Lane and Oswell
Street. The development is known as Devonshire and is comprised of 981 square feet,
. 2 bedroom, 1 bath homes selling for 70,990. to 1,426 square feet, 4 bedroom, 2 bath
homes for 90,490.
The average price in Bakersfield is slightly under 100,000. for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath
home. The Developers of Chelsea Park offer a similar home for 54,770. cost to buyer
and a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home for 58,770. cost to buyer.

The unemployment rate in Kern County was 15.4% through October 1993. Therefore
targeted buyers is expected to be comprised of nuclear and extended family members.
Chelsea Park is being developed to offer quality affordable housing to that segment of
the-population earning 20,500. to 29,300. per annum.

There are 28,037 rental units in Bakersfield. The median rent is 389. per month.
Fifty- seven (57) percent of the population are in the age range of 18 to 64 years.
The Black, Hispanic and Asian population, forty-two (42) percent and growing, is
concentrated in central Bakersfield and will be the primary beneficiaries of Chelsea
Park.

MEMORANDUM
May 5, 1995
TO: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director
FROM: George Gonzale mumty Development Coordinator
SUBJECT: Disposition of 720~L-/akeview
In December 1994, staff initiated the disposition of the property located at 720
Lakeview. At a meeting with Don Anderson, Real Property Agent, he suggested that
the property be posted for sale for 60 to 90 days. During that time 8 - 10 phone
inquiries were received. Each inquiry was asked to submit a written bid by April 15,
1995.
Three written proposals were received during the prescribed time period (a summary of
the offers is attached). The proposals were reviewed by Don Anderson, Melanie
Dunwoody and.myself. The proposal from Ceceile Alade (Balloon Palace) offered a
purchase opportunity on behalf of a for-profit entity that would also generate 4 full-time
jobs. In addition, Ms. Alade's proposal reflected a sizeable infusion ($35,000) of private
capital for her project. The proposed hamburger stand will be catering to clients and
employees of the Clinica Sierra Vista facility located at 815 Lakeview Avenue. Based
on the project as described above, I am recommending that we focus on this proposal.
The appraisal completed on December 4, 1993, estimated the value of the property and
improvements at $25,000. However, staff estimates the cost to bring the structure in
conformance with building codes and ADA requirements would range between $10,000
- to $15,000. This estimate would not include any tenant improvements or equipment
needed to operate this building as a hamburger stand (estimated at $35,000 as
mentioned earlier).
Based on the additional costs of developing this property for the proposed use, it is
recommended thata counter offer of $15,000 be made for this project.
Pending a determination from the City Attorney's Office as to whether CDBG acquired
property would be subject to City Council declaration of surplus property, a sales
agreement and other necessary documents can be prepared for City Council action in
July 1995.

Dear Mr. Tandy.:
On February 14., 1990, the Board of Directors of the National Cable Television
Association adopted industry-wide customer service standards reaffirming the
cable industry's commitment to provide a consistently high level of service to
cable consumers.
When the NCTA Board of Directors adopted the customer service standards, they
also approved awarding, on an annual basis, a "Seal of Good Customer Service" to
those systems that have:
1. Achieved the standards,

April 26, 1995
Senator Jim Costa
State Capitol, Room 2054
Sacramento, CA 95814
To the Honorable Senator Costa,
The purpose of this letter is to seek your support in opposing SB1266. This bill was originally
introduced by Senator Dills. It is my understanding that Senator Dills has decided to drop the bill
but in keeping with Senate tradition it was offered to any other interested Senator. Regrettably,
Senator Quinton Keep decided to carry the bill forward. A Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing is
scheduled for May 2, 1995. SB 1266, in its current form would preclude the acquisition of a privately
owned business by eminent domain if the eventual use will be by another privately owned business.
The use of eminent domain for redevelopment purposes has been upheld by Califomia courts many
times. It is a vital component of a successful redevelopment effort. In most instances it is a tool of
last resort when a community's effort to eliminate a blighting influence is impeded. Due to the
severity of its power every effort is first made to reach an amicable accommodation. The Central
District Development Agency of the City of Bakersfield has yet to request that the City Council
exercise its eminent domain authority since the Central District Development Agency's creation in
1986. Previous to 1986 the City Council has had a few occasions when eminent domain became
necessary.
The decision regarding whether or not it is appropriate and justifiable public policy to use eminent
domain is best made on a case by case basis by local elected officials. This is an issue of "home
rule." Please assist us in tuming back this unjudicious effort to weaken local decision making.
Yours truly,
RECEIVED
