ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX MEASURE The Kern County Transportation Foundation has completed the first of two polls to determine support levels for a proposed transportation sales tax measure. The overall results indicate a sales tax measure to fund new major transportation projects will likely be defeated. However, it was noted that wide range support was evident for maintenance of existing facilities. In addition, support for senior transit facilities was also evident. The subsequent poll will be conducted in the near future. This poll will focus on specific items gleaned from the first poll results. Based on the first poll results, the Kern Transportation Foundation has proposed a three pronged approach to a sales tax measure as follows: 1. Structure the ballot measure to focus on maintenance issues by providing for a "return to source" approach whereby revenues generated by the tax would come directly back to each city/region on a population basis. 2. Outline provisions for improved senior transit facilities. 3. Identify two or three major project such as widening Hwy 46 to the coast or Route 14 in the eastern part of the County that received much support in the first poll. In addition, consider a very short sunset period (3-5 years) as well as a quarter cent sales tax rather than a half cent tax. The Foundation is seeking input from the various parties. Please let me know your thoughts on the matter or whether to refer the matter to the Urban Development Committee for their imput. t RECEIVED ' BAKERSFIELD Economic and Community Development Department MEMORANDUM June 30, 1999 TO: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director FROM: George Gonzales,~mmunity Development Coordinator SUBJECT: Habitat for Humahtity - Request for Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Funds. Habitat for Humanity - Golden Empire (Habitat) has requested HOME funds ($43,500) to assist in the construction of three single-family homes on lots acquired from the City, Agreement No. 97-197, July 1, 1997. Since its inception in 1991, Habitat constructed an average of one single-family dwelling a year. In 1998, Habitat increased that number to three and now has set a goal of completing twelve homes per year by the year 2002. Habitat homes are sold to families whose income is between 30% to 50% of the area's median income. In addition, the selected Habitat family and volunteers provide the needed "sweat equity" labor to construct these homes. The average mortgage on a Habitat home is between $35,000 and $45,000, with monthly mortgage payments of $250 to $300. As a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), Habitat will have access to the 15% CHDO set-aside from the HOME program funding. In addition, as a CHDO, Habitat is eligible for technical assistance and other assistance to cover customary and reasonable construction project costs for HOME eligible projects. The City ultimately determines the form of assistance to be provided to the CHDO. Habitat is requesting a total of $43,500 to pay for school fees, bmld~ng permits, escro~ fees, housing counseling and training costs, and the cost of a construction supervisor to complete the three City assistance properties located at 1424 and 1500 Ralston Street and 1421 Gorrill Currently, a second deed of trust is in place for $3,000 per address for the City's acquisition cost dlk:P:\GEORGEhhabitat request HOME $.mem purchase the parcels. We would recommend that the proposed HOME assistance be equally divided ($14,500 per lot) and added to the existing second deed of trust. In the event that the new homebuyer sells their home the City's assistance will be due and payable. Below is a summary of project costs for the Habitat proposals.

These break-ins have occurred in Cities as small as Ridgecrest and as large as New York City. In order to test our security, we recently made arrangements for a team of IBM "hackers" to test the security of our system at no cost to the City. These hackers work for the IBM Emergency Response Service in Sterling Forest, New York. On June 30, the team of three IBM "hackers" spent the day attempting to compromise the City's network. While the different methods they used are too complicated to explain, these professional hackers were unable to break in to our system or find out anything from our network other than was displayed on our publicly accessible web pages.. Additionally, our security system alerted us of the repeated attempts to break in to the system and defeated those attempts. IBM's security testing methodology scores the security of a network on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). The City of Bakersfield received a score of 100. According to the testing team, the average site tested scores in the range of 60-80. While there is obviously no guarantee that any computer system cannot be hacked, it should be comforting to know that our network is as secure as possible. P:~DOCUMENT~COLrNCIL\Sccurity of City Network.wpd B A K E R S F I E L D Economic and Community Development Department ~----~~' I/~'~ MEMORANDUM - June 30, 1999 TO: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director FROM: George Gonzales~unity Development Coordinator II SUBJECT: Proposed Amendntknt At the June 16, 1999 City Council meeting, a CDBG loan repayment of $202,440, was appropriate&. to the CDBG operating budget. An additional $30,000 appropriation is scheduled for the June 30, 1999 City Council meeting. This brings a total of $232,440 of program income funds available for eligible CDBG activities. Also to be considered in the amendments is the cancellation of three activities that no longer need CDBG fund to complete. The Casa Royale demolition project ($146,841) is scheduled to be demolished by the new owner. The Bakersfield Sign rehabilitation project ($10,000) was completed using private funds. The last activity to be canceled is the 1999/2000 Unreinforced Masonry Program ($50,000) funds. The balance of funds available for the URM Program from prior years is $170,000. This amendment will reallocate $17,625 of project savings from the Union Avenue # 10 Area Water Hydrant Improvement Project completed in May 1999. Thus the total funds available as part of the proposed amendment include $232,440 of additional program income and $224,466 of project savings and canceled projects for a total of $456,906. During the Budget and Finance Committee meeting of March 29, 1999, staff was directed to identify CDBG funds to assist Living Connections, Inc. to rehabilitate their 9-bed licensed residential care home (Cedar House) for seriously mentally disabled women. The estimated rehabilitation cost for this project is $29,628. Living Connections, Inc. has requested $25,000 of financial assistance to complete this activity. Staffis recommending that $212,906 of the available funds be reallocated for the continued funding of the Acquisition and Demolition Program. This program will allow the purchase and removal of deteriorated industrial, commercial, and residential properties in Census Tract 15, 16, and 20. In addition, staff was directed to identify CDBG funds that could be used for an economic development project that would provide financial assistance for a grocery store to service southeast Bakersfield. To achieve this goal, $100,000 of the fund available from this amendment will be dlk:P:\GEORGE\cdbg amend memo.wpd allocated in the Acquisition and Demolition program specially as an incentive for the development ora southeast grocery store. In addition, $116,000 will be set aside in Commercial/Business Loan Program to assist in attracting a grocery store to Southeast Bakersfield.

Remember, the cleanliness of your restroom is a direct reflection of how the rest of your assignment looks. It can set the stage for either a positive or negative impression of your entire assignment. Litter Removal In many cases, no matter how hard you've worked to keep the grass green, trim the i shrubs, or clean the tables, the appearance of litter can leave a bad image on all that . hard work. The removal of litter should not be limited to once a day, but throughout the day. I The removal of litter should not merely focus on the large or apparent. Instead, we should be looking to remove small items also (e.g., cigarette butts, tape on tables and I shelters, bottle tops, etc.). Remember, the cleaner your assignment looks the better you look and the better the experience of your guest. If you're walking through another employee's assignment and notice some litter, should you pick it up? YOU BET! We need to recognize that our job is a team effort. The i appearance of our parks and streetscapes is the responsibility of all employees. '1 Clean Sand Lots Of Debris The cleanliness of your playground area cannot be overstated. Here is where parents bring their young children to play in not only in the safest environment, but one that is il as clean and neat as possible. The removal of all debris, such as weeds, litter, bottle tops, cigarette butts, glass or any other sharp object, should be done a minimum of once a day. It is your responsibility to thoroughly check and clean the entire sand lot area. This responsibility is an opportunity to provide the best experience for your guests at your park. It is a responsibility that you should assume with pdde. Ensure Correct Sand Levels Underneath All Playground Equipment The correct levels of sand under each and every piece of playground equipment is not just a personal choice. Certain sand levels should be maintained in the "Fall Zone" of each piece of equipment as recommended by federal guidelines by such agencies as the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM). Furthermore, our playgrounds are constructed in line within the "Fall Zone" guidelines. That means that the level of the top of sidewalk, the positioning of the playground equipment, and the amount of I sand placed in the playground area, are all part of the federal guidelines. Review with your supervisor the correct levels of sand that are needed below each piece of equipment. The correct levels of sand beneath your equipment could make the difference as to whether or not the guest in your park enjoys a positive experience. Inspect ALL Playground Equipment ,, The regular and thorough inspection of every piece of playground equipment in your assignment is of extreme importance. Thoroughly inspect all playground equipment for such things as cleanliness, damage, wear and tear, rust, and faded paint, etc. Your Weekly Playground Inspection List needs to be thoroughly reviewed and filled out every week. As you go through the list on your inspection sheet, take the time to check every section of the apparatus or item. Make sure you supply this completed form to your supervisor every week. When you turn in this form to your supervisor you are verifying that all equipment has been thoroughly checked by yourself and you will stand by that report. In checking your playground equipment, if you find a potentially hazardous or a hazardous condition, do not hesitate to contact your supervisor, park maintainer III, or contact the Recreation and Parks office (326-3117) and inform them of the situation immediately. This does not relieve you of the responsibility of filling out a Service Request Form for the condition, and to also note it in your Weekly Playground Inspection List. Attempt in every way to make the condition as safe as possible and either barricade, rope or tape off the area. Make sure that the barricades, rope or tape remain intact until the condition is made safe by a craftworker or other qualified employee. Take pride in your playground area. It's a place where people come to enjoy a good time. Ensure for our guests, the safest and cleanest play environment we can provide. Blow Off Sidewalks To Remove All Debris Blow off sidewalks throughout your park, especially around the playground area. Sand often builds up on the sidewalk around the playground area as a result of a lot of activity. Keep these sidewalks clean and presentable. If you've done some trimming, or the mowing crew has just completed your park, be sure to blow off the sidewalk of all trimmings and cuttings. Inspect All Facilities For Repairs Take the time to look around to notice any repairs needed to any facility, structure, tables, trash can racks, walls, light poles, fences, irrigation, etc. Constantly look for conditions that are not representative of the pride you take in your assignment. If you see a condition in another employees assignment, let them know, so they can take the appropriate steps to correct the problem. Remember, teamwork is the key in making us all look good. The perception from the public is determined to a large extent on our department as a whole, and not by individuals only. Inspect And Ensure The Operational Level Of All Lighting Systems The monitoring and maintenance of the lighting systems in our parks are of extreme importance. The feeling of safety and secudty for our guests in the parks is one that we should be constantly alerted to. Remember, dudng the warm season, on many occasions we have as many people in our parks during the evening hours as we do during the day. All lighting systems need to be checked everyday. Some parks have clock controllers and some parks have photo cells for secudty lighting throughout the park and in the restrooms. Activate these lighting systems every day and check to see if all lights are operating. This can be done by either clicking the lever in the controller clocks or by switching on the system via the override switch (usually these override switches are used when your park has a photo cell system). In either case check all secudty lights as you walk through your park and clean your restrooms. Secudty lighting controller clocks need to be checked as well. Often the pins that tum on and off the lighting system become loose and malfunction. At times the power in your park may go off, or the clock itself goes bad and the controller clock may loose time. It is essential that you thoroughly check your controller clock every day. There may be an occasion when you manually turn on the lighting system and it will not come on. The first step in attempting to correct the problem is in locating the electrical panel for the lights and test to see if the breaker switch has been tripped. In some cases a power surge will tdp the breaker switch, or at times the breaker switch simply goes bad. When you locate the appropriate breaker switch and it is tripped, switch it I back to the correct position and test your lights again. It is important that you leave the · lighting system on for 5 to10 minutes to see if the breaker switch will tdp again. If it does, report it to your supervisor or maintainer III as soon as possible. If it I continues to malfunction, let your supervisor know and monitor it for the next several · days to see if the problem occurs again. If it does, you have a light system problem that needs to be resolved. 1~ You must know where your electrical panels, and meters are in your parks. Work with your supervisor or maintainer III in locating and correctly labeling these panels. It is I, important to label these so others easily locate them. may .,~-- Secudty lighting systems are designed to activate just pdor to sunset, and stay on until ' sunrise, you a photo lighting system occur If have cell this activation time should automatically. However, if your secudty system is activated by a timer controller, it is I your responsibility to set your lights in accordance with sunset and sunrise. Ask your supervisor for a sunrise/sunset chart and post it in your room to know in advance when to set your clocks. Remember, it's your responsibility. The other type of lighting systems in your parks are those that illuminate game areas such as tennis courts, baseball fields, volleyball, horse shoe and multi-purpose courts, along with picnic areas. Just as in the case with the security lighting, these systems · need to be checked everyday. Beyond activating the system and checking your controller clock, check the timer mechanism on the respective light poles. Often, these timers can either malfunction or be vandalizedl so an everyday check is needed. The lighting systems for your game or picnic areas also need to be set just prior to I sunset. In the lights to come on 15 minutes before sunset is many cases, setting appropriate as lights on your tennis courts and ball diamonds take that much time to warm up and illuminate. Finally, in some cases there are lights located at entrance signs leading into main i neighborhood entrances in your streetscape assignments. These lights are designed to illuminate the beautiful wall and landscape features in your assignment. In most cases these lights are controlled by a photo cell, in others by a controller clock. Again, the i monitoring of these lighting systems is your responsibility. Take the time when you're in ~ . the area to check them regularly. Work with your supervisor in locating the photo cell and meter for these lights. ! I Inspect Trees Throughout Your Assignment For Any Dead Or Hanging Limbs In Trees I Take the time every day, especially during the winter months, to look up and check to · see if there are any dead or hanging limbs in your trees. If you see any dead limbs, please report it to your supervisor as soon as you can. If you see any hanging limbs, t and you cannot correct it yourself, call the office (326-3119) as soon as you can, so the situation can be taken care of as soon as possible. ~.t- This also applies to trees that are in the "dght of way" in your area. If you see the same situation in the "dght of way" report it as soon as possible. Furthermore, we are i responsible for clearing tree limbs that are blocking street signs and signal lights. If in your travels any where in the city you notice a limb blocking these, report it to your supervisor as soon as possible. :~ Inspect And Clean Your City Vehicle ! EYeryday, make a thorough check for any damages. Even though you are normally assigned to a vehicle, that does not mean that someone else did not use your vehicle. You are responsible for your vehicle, and a daily inspection of the vehicle is your responsibility. Take the time each and every day to look over your vehicle. If you find I any damage, no matter how minor, be sure to inform your supervisor. It is our policy · that if at the end of the shift any damage is noticed on your vehicle, it will be assumed that you were responsible for it. Also, make a safety inspection of your vehicle. This includes checking brakes, lights, i. blinkers, mirrors, seatbelts, etc. Each day at the end of the shift, be sure to clean out your vehicle. How clean your vehicle is represents the pdde you take in yourself and the work you do. All vehicles should have an emergency phone number sticker in place. i ! Drive Assignment For Graffiti And Safety Hazards Make an inspection of your assignment each day. During this inspection, check for any giref'fiti or safety hazards. Thoroughly Clean Tool Rooms, Secure All Equipment, Eliminate Fire Hazards Theme is no excuse for a tool room that is not in order and safe. Each day make sure all tools am secured, all power equipment locked, and any potential fire hazard eliminated. In terms of building codes and potential fire hazards look for the following: · no tools, boxes, cleaning materials, gasoline, etc, There shall be stored within 3 feet of any electrical panel in the room. · All gasolines and cleaning chemicals shall not be stored next to each other. · All cleaning rags or clothes shall not be stored next to cleaning chemicals or gasoline. · Keep electrical panels clean and clear of dust Wear A Neat And Clean Uniform lhe way you look reflects not on lust yourself, but on every other city employee. You are expected to wear a complete uniform (shirt and pants) everyday. Your uniform is to be clean and ordedy. Shirts should always be tucked in, and buttoned correctly. Appropriate work shoes are required. Image influences attitude. Attitude influences motivation. Weekly Services Wash Off Picnic Areas And Clean Out Barbecues Over and above all other facilities in a park, the picnic areas and barbecues are utilized more than any other facilities in our parks. This is where the majority of our guests come to enjoy the park and eat with their family and friends. Every Monday and Fdday, or as needed, each and every picnic area and barbecue pit should be cleaned thoroughly. Remove all litter and debds from the area, then wash off all tables, benches, and barbecue pits. Scrub the tables with a stiff bristled brush as needed. Remove graffiti from table tops with the recommended graffiti remover. Rinse off the tables and concrete with a hose, then dry the tables and squeegee any water off the concrete areas. You also need to check your tables for remaining tape from a party. Check for spider webs and remove them if you see any. You should have a can of insecticide in your tool in find two. The touch is out the shrub beds room case you a spider or finishing raking or turf area around your picnic area. Now you're ready to have your guests come over for lunch, dinner, a snack, or just a nice place to sit and enjoy your park. Keep your parking lots and gutters as clean as possible. Usually, that's how your guests arrive. Inspect And Set All Irrigation Controllers , Each time you're in the area of your controller clock, thoroughly check the time of the clock and the irrigation timing of all your stations. Often a power surge will trip the breaker switch in the meter servicing your controller and the clock will loose it's power. A constant monitoring of your clock will save you from having your assignment looking dry and unattractive. If the power is off on your controller, first check the breaker switch at the meter. If it is "tripped" tum it back on, then make a daily check to see if it stays on. If it continues to trip, fill out a Service Request Form or let your supervisor know as soon as possible. Also, if the breaker is not tripped and there is still no power, let your supervisor know. All irrigation clocks must contain information regarding location of siphon device, direction of irrigation stations, and watering schedule. Inspect All Irrigation Systems In Your Assignment For Any Repairs Or Adjustments ^11 components and irrigation stations throughout your assignment must be checked once a week. Operate each station in your park, streetscapes, or medians to check and see if the stations are coming on correctly, there are no broken irrigation heads or lines, no irrigation heads out of adjustment, irrigation heads that are not rotating, or irrigation heads that are plugged. As you are checking each station on your control clock and if it does not activate, one of the following situations have happened: may · The remote control valve to the station has been turned off manually at the valve stem. · The wires at the valve solenoid may be broken. · The wires from the clock to the remote control valve have either separated at the clock, or have been broken at some location between the controller clock and the valve. · On some occasions the entire line has been plugged with debds. · Irrigation control clock is malfunctioning. · Water may be tumed off at the syphon device or meter. If your irrigation is tumed off at the valve, syphon device, or meter, that is something that you can correct immediately. You might check with your supervisor to see if they know why any of these components were turned off. In some cases, one of these components have been turned off as a result of a broken line or stuck valve, so check your system out after you've turned on any of these components to see if there are any malfunctions. Usually, plugged heads (with the exception of the large Thompson heads in your park) can be taken care of by you in the field. Take the time to do it. Adjustment of irrigation heads in your park or streetscapes is your responsibility. You should have the necessarytools to take care of it. Keep a supply of irrigation repair materials in your tool room or trailer, especially for minor irrigation repairs. Usually, it's only one or two heads or lines that need minor If that's the take the few minutes needed and take of the situation. If it repair. case, care is a large irrigation head, or an extended amount of heads, complete your Service Request Form completely and with specific information and locations so the repairs can be taken care of by one of the craftworkers. This does not mean that your responsibility has ended here. It is your responsibility to check and re-check to see if the needed repair to your system has been completed. If a large irrigation head is not turning, don't wait for the repairs to occur to get water to the affected area. There are quick coupler valves throughout your park that you can attach a hose to so you can apply water to the area. Or, if a valve is not activated by the clock, you have the ability to manually operate the valve until it is fixed. The list goes on, but the point is that you must find the means to get irrigation to the affected area until the appropriate repairs are completed. If irrigation has been off in a given area, it will take extra water to green it up. Don't expect the normal irrigation pattems to green up a stressed area in a short amount of time. A little extra irrigation, for several days after the repair, is recommended. Remember to adjust your irrigation schedule back to normal after the stressed area has recovered. Apply Pesticides As Needed To Abate Weeds And Pests " BEFORE YOU APPLY ANY PESTICIDE YOU MU_S~ BE TRAINED BY AUTHORIZED CITY STAFF The application of herbicides in your assignment is a process that takes consistent and appropriate timing. Consistent in the sense that your weeds should be sprayed well before they become too large. Usually, this means that weeds should not exceed a height of 3 inches prior to spraying. Appropriate in the sense that spraying weeds that are too large is at once a waste of chemicals, and unsightly. You will have to remove the tall "dead" weed any way, why waste a chemical on it to do so. Also, after the weed is dead it becomes an unsightly addition to your assignment. If you schedule your spray program so it addresses the weeds throughout your assignment on a regular basis, you'll have better success. A "hit and miss" program allows weeds to to that too noticeable, and could grow heights are cause you some frustration. Therefore, plan on a spray program that allows you to cover your area on at least a once-a-month basis. But you say that this process is in the "Once-^-Week" category. Yes, it is. Our assignments are very large, with a tremendous amount of work to be done. Trying to 18 cover your entire area in one application in one day is not practical. Therefore, a recommendation is to section out your assignment in such a manner that a given area can be sprayed on a given week. Schedule this so that the rotation allows for each section in your entire area to be sprayed on at least a once-a-month basis. For example, you can spray a given section in your area on "week one", then another section on "week two", and so on, so that at the end of the month your entire area is covered. Chemical Audit Sheets must be completed properly and submitted immediately to your supervisor. must maintain this schedule week after week and month after Remember, you spraying month. Consistency is the key to quality maintenance. Clean Shrub Beds And Tree Wells To Remove All Debris And Weeds Before you set up your spray program, all weeds and debris should be removed from your shrub beds and tree wells. Beyond that, a consistent and thorough weekly maintenance program should be developed. Again, a consistent schedule is the key! As you know, your streetscapes and medians are scheduled on a once a week basis. This schedule is design so that each and week the problems of weeds and debris every can be addressed in each and every shrub bed. Inspect and clean every area every week. You must follow the schedule to be successful. Here again, a "hit and miss" program will only cause frustration on your part. Unless you follow the schedule there is no way that you can maintain your shrub beds at the expected standard. This applies to weed and debris removal in your park tree wells as well. The image of your park is in many ways determined by the condition of your tree wells. As you drive by or enter a park with nice neat and clean tree wells, a message of a high standard maintenance program is expressed. Your tree wells and all stationary objects (e.g., street signs, fire hydrants, park signs, etc., that cannot be taken care of by the mowing crews) need to be addressed each and every week in order to maintain them to a high quality standard level. Tall grass and weeds around any of these sends a message that you're not doing your work on a consistent basis, and therefore not meeting our standard. What is the standard? A completely weed and debris free shrub bed and tree well. in your park and your picnic areas is your signature Clean shrub beds around of commitment to high quality maintenance. Especially around your picnic area, attention to detail is important. As your guest come to eat and relax in your park, give them your best welcome in providing them with the cleanest possible area. Mow And Edge All Turf Areas Every Week During The Growing Season During the peak growing seasons, your turf areas need to be mowed and edged per schedule. Mowing crews are assigned to this responsibility and are set up to follow a weekly schedule. The mowing schedule in your area is indicated on your assignment sheet. Familiarize with this schedule. The of the removal yourself timing your irrigation, of litter pdor to mowing, and the subsequent cleaning off sidewalks is all based on your knowing the mowing schedule. During the "off season" where your turf is not growing as fast as in the spring and summer, the mowing patterns will occur on an "as needed" basis. If areas of turf in your assignment have grown to a height that requires mowing, let your supervisor know. They should schedule a mowing as soon as they can. Don't leave it up to someone else. Keep your supervisor informed of the condition of your turf areas. Weedeat Around All Poles, Or Other Stationary Objects Signage, That Cannot Be Taken Care Of By Mowing Crews " There are a lot of sign poles, utility boxes, syphon devices, irrigation controllers, etc, that are in the park, streetscape, and median island turf areas. Most of them are in a location where the mowing crews cannot adequately maintain the turf around them. Take the time to weedeat around all of these stationary objects. In many cases, you can make a small application of a herbicide to lessen the amount of times you need to go back and repeat the procedure. Inspect Trees For Trimming Inspect And Correct Or Remove Tree Ties And Stakes Throughout Your Assignment ^ well groomed tree canopy throughout your assignment has several values. It looks attractive, it allows for pedestrian and mowing clearance, and it is a reflection that you're keeping a close eye on one of the most valued natural resources in your assignment. Take the time to inspect the level at which the limbs of your trees have grown in a downward or hanging position. Along your sidewalks and throughout your parks, the appropriate clearance for pedestrians and mowing crews is essential. If at any time you notice that the level of limbs hanging from your trees could block their pathway, fill out a "Service Request Form" to have the situation taken care of. Of course, if there are one or two limbs that are blocking a pedestrians right-of-way, mowing crews cutting close to or under trees, and street or park signs, take the time to take care of it. As new trees are planted, to help them survive and grow correctly, two tree stakes with ties are placed in a correct manner to help support the tree from falling over. These tree stakes are necessary until the tree develops a sufficient root system. However, too often these necessary stakes are forgotten as time goes on. Many times we forget to loosen the ties or remove the stakes when they are no longer needed. This is harmful to the tree. If you see a tree tie that is too tight around the trunk of a tree, remove it or loosen it. At times, especially in a wind storm, the Stakes are broken. It is your responsibility to change out the broken stake with a new one. Place the replacement stake in the correct manner as you have been instructed by your supervisor. If you feel that the stakes are no longer necessary, talk to your maintainer III or supervisor and see if it is time to remove them. Usually after a full season the need for the tree stake is lessened. Monthly Services Monthly Service of Park Restrooms !

Allow to remain in contact with area being cleaned for a few minutes, rinse and flush thoroughly. The bowl cleaner should be to all toilets and urinals to be cleaned in applied one room before dnsing. This will allow sufficient time for matedal to act. Trim Shrubs In The Areas Designated For Formal Trimming In many cases the shrubs along the streetscapes are pruned only once a year. The idea behind this is to allow the natural shape of the shrub to form an aesthetic and graceful cover and traffic sound block to the walls adjacent to the neighborhood. However, there are shrubs that are in streetscape entrance planters, planters in the parks, and around the picnic areas that need continuous attention. Entry planters are the showcase of our streetscapes. As the public enters and leaves their neighborhoods, these planters are clearly seen. Also, many of the entry walls have the neighborhood signs on them. With this in mind, we need to take extra care to formally tdm these shrubs and keep them neat and clean. This extra effort shows the public the pride we take in our work in providing them with beautiful and pleasing landscapes in their area of town. Planters in the parks set the stage for displaying our knowledge and appreciation of landscape techniques. Taking the time to formally tdm the shrubs in your park gives an indication of the pdde you take in your work and your attention to detail. Rototill Playground Areas Once a month, rototill playground and course areas. This procedure provides a your par soft and comfortable area for kids to play in. It makes it easier to move the sand around so correct levels of sand exist under all playground equipment, and assists in keeping the playground area weed free. Apply Insecticides To City Buildings lhe application of insecticides to the building structures in your parks is a responsibility you should be very aware of. Structural insecticides are applied by assigned personnel trained in that category of pesticide applications. Although the application of insecticides may be the duty of the pesticide spray operators, the responsibility of checking and requesting for an insecticide application is yours. Talk to your supervisor and see what kind of schedule is appropriate. Apply Herbicides To Mark Off Playing Fields If you have a volleyball court, a ball diamond, or a soccer field in one of your parks, chances are that the boundary lines are marked via a herbicide application. Don't allow these lines to fade or be overgrown with turf. The enjoyment of the games your guest play in your parks can be greatly enhanced by the quality of the playing fields. Take the time to inspect foul or boundary lines and wdte a "Service Request Form" to have your them sprayed and looking good. Wash Out All Trash Cans Clean Concrete Area Under Trash Can Racks There occurs a lot of trash build-up in and underneath our trash cans. It is very important to keep these areas washed off and clean. Take your trash can, empty it out, and apply a cleaning solution throughout the can and dnse out. Keep the concrete area underneath the cans clean and free of any debris. I I I l I I I I I Annual & I As Needed Services I I I I I I I iI Pre-emergent Herbicide Applications A key ingredient in controlling the weeds in your assignment is in the correct application of a pre-emergent herbicides. This application should occur at a minimum at least twice a year. Generally the best time of the year to apply pre-emergents is a couple of months before the active growing season (i.e., early spring, fall, and winter). Scheduling of such applications may vary according to work loads, but we should attempt to stay at the recommended application times as much as possible. The application of pre-emergents should occur in all shrub beds and tree wells throughout the assignment. At times, designated turf areas (e.g., City Hall, Centennial Plaza, streetscapes and medians, etc.) should be included. Keep your area supervisor advised of the need to have these chemicals applied in the needed areas. Work with your supervisor in laying out the scheduling of such applications, your input is needed to keep the teamwork effort going. Complete the required forms, reporting the material used, the area treated, and submit them to your supervisor. Prune Shrubs To Clear Deadwood And To Shape Pruning and clearing of deadwood usually takes place prior to spring growth. This procedure should take place in shrubs that are allowed to grow without formal pruning throughout the growing season. The removal of deadwood and the process of shaping should be done in planning how you would like the shrubs to look dudng the growing season. If done correctly, the beauty of the shrubs in your area will be a reflection of the pdde you take in your assignment. Trim And Shape Trees Throughout Assignment Although you've been monitoring your trees throughout the year, in many cases request should be made to have an annual trimming and removal of deadwood from trees your throughout your assignment. Again, your input is necessary to ensure that the process takes place. Take the time to know which trees need this service and inform your area supervisor need. This process ensures that your trees will look their best, and of the provide for traffic, pedestrian, and mowing clearance throughout the growing season. They're your trees, so take care of them. 2.7 Fertilize All Turf Areas All parks, streetscapes, and median islands need to be fertilized during the spring to ensure healthy turf dudng the summer months. A good fertilizing process will enhance the appearance of your turf and give it a healthy start for the summer months to come. Some turf areas will need a more frequent fertilizing program. These areas are high profile areas that need to be looking their best at all times. If there are areas of turf that are lacking in essential nutrients and are not as green as they need to be, you need to let your supervisor know that you would like to schedule a fertilizer application for that area as soon as possible. Make appropriate irrigation adjustments based on the type of fertilizer used. Aerify All Turf Areas Compaction in turf areas is always a problem. Service vehicles, tractors, and unfortunately private and city vehicles, compact the soil that your turf roots grow in. Among the need for water and nutrients, your turf area also needs air. That's dght air! That is why we set a standard of aerifying your turf areas at least once a year. Remember, that is the minimum standard, and again, there's nothing stopping you from exceeding that. Flail Mow And Renovate Turf Areas At least once a year your parks should be flail mowed to reduce turf thatch buildup. Usually, this will be scheduled starting in the late winter and continued through spring. This schedule will depend on availability of equipment operators and workload. Another procedure that is important is renovation of the turf areas around very your sidewalks, sandlots, picnic areas, and other areas that the flail mower cannot reach. Turf buildup in these areas causes many problems. It creates conditions for an unhealthy turf. Secondly, the turf and sand build up around the sandlots and picnic areas does not allow for sufficient irrigation runoff from the sidewalks and obstructs your irrigation heads. Work with your supervisor in scheduling equipment and time to complete this responsibility every year. Irrigation Repair There's no reason to wait! A well functioning irrigation system is vital to your work. If there is a problem take care of it by any means possible as soon as possible! Facilities Repair Any time a facility (restroom, serving shelter, drinking fountain, park sign, etc.) is in need of repair, take action quickly. Secure the area and make the situation as safe as you can until repairs can be made. Inform you supervisor as soon as possible. Follow up with a "Service Request Form". Fill service request forms for needed painting on goal posts, playground equipment, basketball'court lines, exercise par courses, restrooms, shelters, etc. The needed repair of facilities will occur all the time, be it vandalism, wear, weather, or other conditions. Be always on the look out for such needed repairs. Replace Dead Or Missing Trees and Shrubs Whenever a shrub or tree dies or is missing, take the appropriate action to have them replaced. Inform your supervisor of this condition so plans can be made to replace the dead or missing item. Arrange to have your trees and shrubs replaced as soon as possible. It compliments the hard work you're doing when alllandscaping is in your place. Abate Rodents In Turf If your area is being plagued with squirrels or gophers, let your supervisor know as soon as possible. They make a mess of your turf areas, eat the roots of your trees and shrubs, and create situations where the public could get hurt. Don't wait! Take care of the situation. Post Reservation Signs " If your park has a picnic area that can be reserved, chances are your going to have to post a reservation sign. This usually occurs more often in the summer months, but it could happen at any time. Ask your supervisor if there are any picnic reservations for your park. If there are, be sure to post prior to the noted reservation time. Post them in the respective picnic area first thing in the morning, unless it's scheduled for the evening. If it is scheduled for the evening be sure the area is clean and post the reservation before the end of the shift. Be sure the reservation sign is removed soon after the party has left, or if it extends beyond your shift, remove the sign first thing next moming. Remove All Non-approved Signage On City Property Please be aware of non-approved signage placed in your parks, streetscapes, and medians. Usually, these non-approved signs are of a political or religious nature, or are advertising a product. As public employees we neither endorse or advertise in such a manner. Therefore, remove any of these signs as they appear in your assignment. Do not discard the signs. Rather, inform your supervisor that you have the signs and they are stored in a safe place. The supervisor will then call the people who placed the signs and they will retrieve them. Advise Your Supervisor Of Any Work/Construction Underway By "Outside" Agencies On many occasions, utility and cable installation companies, along with other agencies will have to do some construction work in your parks, streetscapes, and medians. Often this work occurs without notice to your supervisor. If you see any agency doing any kind of work in your landscape assignments, be sure to let your supervisor know. The work that they are performing could be doing a lot a damage to your plants and irrigation system. Acid Wash Concrete Basketball Courts Over given periods of time, there occurs a slick built-up on our concrete basketball courts. This build-up develops a surface that can create an unsafe condition. Keep your eye out for such build-up and inform your supervisor that the courts might need to be acid washed. Your supervisor will make arrangements to supply you with the appropriate chemicals and proper instructions to wash off the courts. The necessary safety equipment will be used in performing this duty. Safety glasses and rubber gloves are required. Adjust All Lighting In Accordance To Sunrise And Sunset All of the security lighting in the parks must go on just prior to sunset and go off shortly after sunrise. Work together with your supervisor to determine the on and off times for your secudty lighting. This is a very important responsibility. It is your duty to provide an lighted and safe environment for our evening guests. Also, if the lights are coming on too early, or are staying on well beyond the necessary time, an unnecessary amount of money will be wasted on lighting that is not needed. Security lighting would include the lighting throughout your park and restroom lighting. All other recreational lighting (e.g., tennis courts, soccer fields, picnic areas, etc.), would be limited to just prior to sunset and off at 10:00 go p.m. So there are our park maintenance standards. It sounds like a lot of work, but the pride we take in providing our guest with the highest quality facilities, programs, services and parks, takes a lot of work. Remember, you are part of a team. What each and every staff member does can be seen as a reflection of all other staff members. We need to recognize our responsibility not only to the public but to each of our fellow employees as well. Working together is the key. Accepting responsibility and accountability are the cornerstones to integrity, high quality standards, and in the long and short of it, just a good day's work done. And remember: To enhance the quality of life of all current and future residents of the commu.nity through the provision of the highest quality services, facilities, programs, and parks.

Panama Lane west of Monitor Street 2.) Soundwall at SR 99/White Lane Interchange Smoketree Mobile Home Park Soundwall Councilmember Salvaggio has requested an update regarding the above-referenced projects. Pacific Gas and Electric has installed new power poles along the south side of Panama Lane west. of Monitor Street, they have relocated their facilities from the old poles to the new poles, and they have "topped" the old poles. Pacific Bell, Time-Warner Cable, and Cox Cable all still have facilities attached to the old poles. All three utilities have been contacted, all are aware of the pole relocation, and all indicated that they should have their facilities relocated within the next two to three weeks. As soon as their relocations are complete, PG&E will remove the poles. Regardless, City crews/contractors will begin grading and construction of curb and gutter next week, items which can be completed even before the old poles are removed. Regarding the soundwall at the Smoketree Mobile Home Park, the Noise Barrier Scope Study Report (NBSSR) has been on-going since last year. All field surveys and field data collection have been completed, and an initial draft of the report has been submitted to Caltrans. Concurrently, the Project Study Report (PSR) for the expansion of the SR99/White Lane interchange has been progressing. The NBSSR Consultant delayed the completion of his report until initial results of the PSR were available to confirm that expansion of the interchange would not affect the sound wall. This initial PSR data became recently available (a draft of the PSR is anticipated to be submitted next week), and the NBSSR Consultant is now finalizing his report for resubmission to Caltrans in early July. Upon Caltrans approval of the NBSSR, Caltrans will begin environmental work on the project. This has been programmed by Caltrans to be completed this summer. cc: Jacques R.

We agree with Councilmember Sullivan that parked vehicles hinder the ability of street sweepers to adequately clean our streets. In order to assist in our ability to properly clean streets, notifying the public to temporarily move their vehicles would be beneficial. A suggestion to advertise street sweeper schedules in the local newspaper may be helpful in notifying the public, however, it may not achieve the goal due to the following concerns: 1. Not all residents subscribe to the local newspaper. 2. Schedule can not be guaranteed due to the limited number of street sweepers and street sweeper operators currently available. 3. The time lag between when schedules are published could create inaccuracies in the time the street is actually swept. In other words, the public may be notified that a street is to be swept on a Monday and they move their vehicles accordingly. However, due to an unforseen equipment breakdown, the street may not be swept until Tuesday causing additional public relations problems. Currently, residential streets are swept, approximately, every 22 to 23 working days or once a month. While, some form of notification would be beneficial, staff feels publishing schedules in the local newspaper would not achieve the goal we desire.
