CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
August 20, 1999
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CiTY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The field crews tell me they have gotten several thank yous for the Palm-Olive sound
wall from residents. A neighbor from further north (beyond annexation boundaries)
even stopped to ask when we would be there!
2. The Garden is now selling concourse signage for very reasonable prices. If you know
a business that would like 500,000 - 600,000 people to see their signs, have them call
Jim Foss or Scott Norton.
3. The Recreation program and Fall brochure shows continued progress in both
programs and presentation. Congratulations to Stan Ford and his staff.
4. The assessed valuation in the tax increment area grew beyond budget projections,
and the loan we anticipated to cover a small portion of their debt for this year won't
be needed.
5. Ron Brummett of KernCOG said I could quote him - full funding for Highway 46 is in
place; it simply will go slow due to the bureaucracy. Those who have been
advocating taking 58 funding for 46 must be aware of that.
6. The Convention Center concession prices will soon very closely match the Garden's,
at least for those items they each carry. We had always been intending to make them
uniform and have just been a little slow implementing the plan.
7. The August URM Activity Report is enclosed.
8. A progress report from EDCD on the roof rehabilitation for the Bakersfield Senior
Center is enclosed.
9. Progress Report No. 17 for the Wastewater treatment Plant #2 Expansion Project is
enclosed.

Park Updates
There's a New Park
in Town
On June 6, 1999 the city of Bakersfield
dedicated our newest park. Windsor Park
is located in the southwest area of our city
on Howell and Windsor Park Drive.
Construction of the park began in the spring
of 1998, and the city accepted
maintenance responsibilities on May 7,
1999. This 6-acre park has amenities that
include restrooms, lighted serving shelter,
lighted basketball court, lighted sports field,
playground areas, and picnic nooks. It's a
beautiful park just right for family recreation -
activities. Come on out and enjoy Windsor Pork dedicotion
Bakersfield's newest addition!
New Playground
Equipment at Kroll Park
Removal of an old playground structure
began in May. The majority of the structure
was wooden, which does not meet the
city's current standards. The replacement
occurred in June. Bring the kids out and
have some fun at Kroll Park, or any of your
city parks. We're glad to have you.
Welcome to Kroll Pork ~'
Park Updates
New Soccer Field at
Beach Park
As a result of continuous soccer and rugby
play throughout the year, the majority of the
field was either mud or dirt, depending on the
weather. Required irrigation during the
summer and rainfall in the winter months
compounded the problem as it resulted in
standing water, creating a situation which
was not conducive to play. Improvements
have been made by:
· Re-grading the field Getting reody
· Hauling in over 400 tons of topsoil
· Amending the topsoil with 80 yards of
mulch
· Placing new sod over the entire field
Supervisors Terry McCormick and Neil
Tierney are to be commended for their
visionary and coordinative efforts on this
project. Be sure to come out and enjoy a
game of soccer on our new field.
We love it!
New Park Signs
We are in the process of replacing the old
signs in our parks. New signs have been
installed which enhance the value of our
parks. As shown in the picture at Jastro
Park, these attractive signs provide a clear
reading of the park name. Other signs were
placed at Jefferson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
Planz, Lowell, and Beale Parks.

SUBJECT: August, 1999 URM Activity Report
Since the last report, the pace has quickened; 6 additional properties have completed their URM
retrofit. As was reported earlier, during the week of May 20, 1999 each of 51 applicants was sent
a letter tailored to their specific URM application status (another 12 applicants were currently in
progress and did not require a letter). Each letter indicated that the URM program was expiring
and gave them specific instructions of how each may still qualify for reimbursement of eligible
costs with a required response by June 30, 1999. Staff received 35 responses to the letters. Work
for these remaining active applicants is moving rapidly towards completion of their respective
projects.
Currently 58 properties have been granted reimbursement checks representing a total of
$267,719.31 in fifty-five retrOfit projects and three demolition projects. They include:

TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: JAKE WAGER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: Progress on Bakersfield Senior Center Roof Rehabilitation
City staff has been waiting for the County to complete the HVAC work on the Senior

SUBJECT: RAILROAD CROSSING MAINTENANCE
Council Referral WF0018193 ! 002
Councilmember Salvaggio requested staff to prepare a memo to Council outlining the
railroad's response to prior requests by the City for assistance in maintaining railroad
crossings. Also, City Attorney to keep Council informed as to status of current complaint
against the railroad.
On several occasions, we have informed the San Joaquin Railroad Company, by City Staff,
that their crossings are in need of attention. The railroad company's position has been
that they do not have any funds to perform permanent repairs on the crossings.
The Street Division reports all complaints that they receive from the public, regarding the
railroad crossings, to the San Joaquin Railroad office. However, the office is in Exeter and
it normally takes several days for them to dispatch a crew to Bakersfield.
Most of the time, the Street Division has had to fix the crossings, temporarily, because
the San Joaquin Railroad Company has failed to respond to public complaints.
Staff will continue their effort in finding a solution to this railroad crossing issue an d
Council will be kept informed.

SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL NUMBERWF0018193/001
ACTIONS AGAINST VARIOUS RAILROAD COMP.aNIES FOR CROSSING
COMPLAINTS
On or about February 27, 1998, the City of Bakersfield initiated actions against
various railroad corporations concerning substandard crossings. The City took action
against Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific Railroads. The
actions were filed with the Public Utilities Commission in San Francisco, California.
Each action set forth a series of crossings which were substandard; for example,
against Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation (BNSF) there were seven crossings
complained of: to wit, Sumner Street, East 21st Street and Gage Street, N Street, L Street,
F Street, Tulare Street, and Baker Street. It should be noted the City of Bakersfield had
been trying for quite some time, years in some cases, to have the railroad fix these
crossings. However, the railroad's failure to repair these crossings resulted in the City
Council authorizing the City Attorney's Office initiate action for repairs.
The City Attorney's Office caused AIMS (our insurance investigators) to investigate,
photograph and otherwise document the deteriorated state of each of the crossings. In
addition, Mr. Steven Walker, the City's Traffic Engineer, rePorted the problems at each
crossing.
After a series of hearings in front of an administrative law judge assigned by the
Public Utilities Commission, the City was successful in obtaining the agreement of the
various railroad corporations to repair, or in some cases close, the various crossings at
issue. As the City was pressing its case with the PUC, Public Works was also negotiating
with the railroads for an overcrossing benefitting the new arena project; therefore, the
dovetailing of the action before the PUC and the negotiations concerning the arena resulted
in the ultimate settlement.
August 17, 1999 CONFIDENTIAL
Page 2
As of this time, AIMS has completed its investigation of the crossings concerning
San Joaquin Valley Railroad. Our office will soon be requesting the City Council's
authorization to initiate action concerning San Joaquin Valley Railroad.

Subject: S. H Street Rehab Center - fence complaint
I visited the area to look at the fence issue around the rehabilitation center at S. H Street and Hendricks
(2913 S. H Street). The comPlaint was from a neighbor. I had a first name but no phone number so was
unable to contact that person to understand the exact complaint. However, based on my driving around
and looking in the Polk directory, I guessed that we were talking about the neighbor to the southwest on
Oscar Street (Martha Choyce - unlisted phone #). The existing fence is an old wood grape-stake style,
probably 30 years old. There may have been a picket or two that was loose but nothing else seemed out
of order, its just that this fence is very old. Part of the fence backs up to a lawn area and it may be that
kids playing in this area have had balls hit the fence and possibly knock out a picket, though I did not see
evidence of this . I checked the conditions of the rehab facility but there are no conditions that address
any special fencing requirements. I also called the Director of the facility, Tonya Vadnais and asked
whether she knew of any complaints or issues regarding fencing with the neighbors. She indicated that
she was not aware of any problems but would take reSponsibility to fix whatever damage may be caused
by her tenants. If we can find out what the exact problem is, I can re-contact the director to see what can
be done. I do not see that the center should bear the total cost of replacing the fence since it is quite old,
however, maybe the center will be willing to share in half the cost if the neighbor is wanting to replace the
fence with a new one.

Subject: Response to CRR WF00181941002
Community Violence/Strategic Plan Framework
Council Member Maggard
Under the direction of Captain Nell Mahan, the Support Services Division is preparing a "gang
violence" presentation for the City Council on August 25th. The presentation will include an
overview of criminal street gangs in Bakersfield; an explanation of current police strategies;
and alternative or supplemental strategies.
Our immediate response to the recent gang violence has been to focus the Special
Enforcement Unit 100% on gang violence deterrence and apprehension. Additionally we have
supplemented both six officer teams with four overtime positions per shift.
Short term priorities for the police department should include:
· Committing supplemental police resources for gang violence deterrence and
enforcement
· Establishing two citizen advisory committees providing input on gang violence
strategies and tactics
· Exploring the successes of other communities in combating gang violence
· Re-assessing our community's dynamic gang problem, focusing on gang violence and
developing a comprehensive strategic plan
Council Referral WF0018194/002
Community Violence/Strategic Plan Framework
August 20, 1999
Continued
A framework for the plan should consider the following stakeholders:
The Community...citizens, schools, churches, neighborhood
associations, businesses, service organizations, and non-
profit associations
The Political Governing Bodies...federal and state legislators,
county Board of Supervisors, City Council, and school boards
The Criminal Justice Components...law enforcement, prosecutors,
courts, corrections, probation, and parole
The following is a preliminary list of concerns that will be assessed and included in our
comprehensive plan relating to gang violence.
BUILDING CITY GOVERNMENT AND POLICE/COMMUNITY TRUST
· Citizen Advisory Committees
· Community meetings...in neighborhood locations such as the
PAL Center, Friendship House, Senior Center, or schools
· Community Oriented Policing...improving neighborhood quality of life
· Winning back neighborhoods with intensive efforts
PREVENTION
· Police Activities League
· Juvenile Impact Program
· D.A.R.E.
· Neighborhood Watch
PUBLIC EDUCATION/AWARENESS
· Media campaigns
· Police presentations
COMMUNICATION/INFORMATION SHARING
· Police/citizen
· Police/Media
· Police/other criminal justice components

Council Referral WF0018194/002
Community Violence/Strategic Plan Framework
August 20, 1999
Continued
LEGISLATION
· Support/oppose federal and state initiatives
· Explore local ordinance development related to gang suppression
COMMITMENT LEVELS
· Staffing and resources
· Short or long term
· Maintenance
COORDINATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMPONENTS
· Gang units
· State and federal task forces
· Police and other law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, judges, probation, and
parole
LAW ENFORCEMENT TACTICS
· Sweeps, saturation patrol, directed patrol, zero tolerance
· Informants, target neighborhoods-groups-or individuals
· Curfew, neighborhood recovery, etc.
EVALUATION
· Statistical and non-statistical measurements to evaluate the effectiveness of the
developed strategies
The above listed concerns are not intended to be all inclusive of concerns that will likely be
raised by citizens, governing officials, and our criminal justice community. The development of
the strategic plan is intended to bring the community's combined talent, energy and resources
to bare upon gang violence. The goal is zero incidents of gang violence in our
community.

'COUCH REQUESTED STAFF CONTACT LARRY MOXLEY REGARDING THE USE OF A
TRAM TO TRANSPORT SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION FROM PARKING
LOTS ON OLIVE SPRINGS AND FR UITVALE AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO
COUNCIL."
Mr. Moxley has been contacted by Traffic Engineering staff. The church is exploring the
possibility of purchasing a shuttle tram, similar to trams used at amusement parks, capable
of transporting 10 - 15 people. They are seeking permission to cross a public street, Olive
Springs Drive, to transport members of the congregation from their parking lot, north of the
street, to the church, south of the street. They are willing to provide traffic control during
the crossing operations and provide insurance with the City named as insured.
The Traffic Engineer investigated the crossing operation by an off- road vehicle tram. Per
the California Vehicle Code, Section 38025, the off-road vehicle could cross any two-lane
street if done at an approximate 90 degree angle to the traffic lanes. No signs, markings
or special permits are required from the local authority (the City in this case) or the
California Department of Transportation. Based on the information given by Mr. Moxley,
this is the desired operation for the church tram in crossing the street at driveways located
on Olive Springs, a local two-lane street. The Department of Motor Vehicles should be
consulted by Mr. Moxley for State requirements of off-road vehicles, registration etc.
Mr. Moxley will be contacted by the Traffic Engineer with this information.

Re: CSA-71 Sewer Service Agreement
Dear Mr. Lackey:
It is our understanding that the County is in negotiations with the City of Bakersfield relative to
sewer service for the referenced area. The District is also negotiating with the City regarding the
same subject. As you are aware, the District and County has spent considerable funds installing
facilities to provide sewer service for the CSA-71 area. The District needs to recoup the costs
associated with the improvements that were installed.
The District is desirous of' establishing areas of service that can utilize the installed facilities for
which they were plmmed. Also, there needs to be an agreement with the City regarding service
for those areas that are annexed to the City but are served by NORSD or CSA-71.
To date, the City is reluctant to establish sewer service b0undarics that can only bc changed by
mutual agreement or thc most cost effective solution. If boundaries are set, then all entities can
plan the most cost effective service. Also, the City wants facilities in areas served by NORSD
but is annexed to the City, to be stand alone and charged at the same rate the City charges. This
is in violation of state law.
The District would like to request to be included in the negotiations with the City in order to
come to a mutually beneficial solution for all parties. If you have any questions, please give me
a call.

DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION AND PARKS
DATE: August 9, 1999
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Stan Ford, Director of Recreation and Parks
SUBJECT: Letter from Marianne Keathley
The competitive swimming program is intended to provide a recreational approach to
swimming competition. The Summer 1999 recreation and parks program brochure
describes the program as "a chance to learn new skills, make friends, and compete against
other swimmers." This casual approach is consistent with the goals of the program which
are (1) safety, (2) learn skills in a quality environment, and (3) fun.
Last year, department administration met with the aquatics staff to discuss concerns that
had been expressed about the competitive program throughout the summer. The major
issues were: (1) too many swimmers in the pool at one time which the staff believed was
unsafe and did not facilitate instruction, (2) large number of participants at one pool but not
the others. This, combined with an emphasis on competition by parents at that pool,
created an environment for the children at the other pools where they weren't competitive
and did not enjoy the program (i.e. always lost to the large team), (3) because of the
imbalance with the size of the teams, a child may have to compete as an "exhibition"
swimmer and thus not be able to earn a ribbon or place based on how they finished a race.
For example, we had a child finish second place in the city championship meet, but he did
not score for his team or get that ribbon because he was an exhibition swimmer due to the
fact that the team had filled the permitted number of spaces. The actual finish of the race
had no bearing on the awards, and (4) the limitation of eight swimmers/gender/age group
(total possible of 96 on a team) created waiting lists on most teams. For example, with a
limit of eight 9-10 girls per team, any other girl in that age group would be place on a
waiting list even if the total number of swimmers on a team was small. Consequently, our
program had a capacity to handle many more swimmers than were registered but we had
approximately 100 children that wanted to padicipate but they could not due to the limit of
age and gender.
To address these issues, staff considered the recommendations from the coaches and
also held the first-ever "Swim Team Forums" with the parents. Based on this input, the
department implemented several minor adjustments to the program. The improvements
to the program appear to be what Ms. Keathley is concerned about. To address her
concerns specifically:
1. The number of swimmers that could practice at one time was reduced to a limit of
50. This number was determined to be the maximum number of swimmers that
could be safely accommodated in the pools. We could have further improved the
situation by trying to have a more homogeneous group, much like year-round swim
teams have, instead of having children of all ages and abilities in the pool at one
time. This concession was made because several of the parents believed that it
was more important that they be able to select the time of a practice than the quality
of the practice. In order to avoid "displacing" swimmers at Seimon Pool (i.e. the
large team), a morning practice time was added so that families did not have to
travel to another pool. This time proved to be very popular.
Staff will determine the feasibility and cost of purchasing, installing, and storing lane
makers at each pool.
2. Scoring at the weekly meets was not done this year because of the enormous
amount of time it takes to score a meet and as previously mentioned, it added little
to score meets where a team of 96 was competing against a team of less than 20.
Staff was led to believe that the majority of the swimmers did not always want to feel
like losers.
3. Staff attempted to standardize practice times to allow some flexibility for families
and to accommodate demand foe more recreational swimming, especially around
noon for individuals that wanted to swim during their lunch hour and working parents
that could not otherwise be at the pool with their children (note: recreational swim
ends at 5:00 PM). We did keep a 12:30 practice to accommodate the few families
that preferred that practice time.
4. The city meet was held in August so that we could use the Pool at CSUB. Staff
believes that this pool, with its parking, is a better facility for a meet that must
accommodate all participants and spectators. The CSUB pool was not available at
the end of July due the U.S.S. Junior Nationals being held there.
5. The registration process was exactly the same as in previous years. As previously
mentioned, by eliminating age and gender limits for practices, we were able to
accommodate all but a few children this year, versus the large numbers in past
years.. We would only have been able to switch Ms. Keathley's child to her first
choice, if someone at that pool dropped out of the program, due to the safety
capacity at the pool.
6. As was discussed in the past, and at the forums, uniforms are not required for
participation. Some parents desire to create a "sense of team" by purchasing suits
for the swimmers. This 'is done independently, by those parents that are interested.
The department has nothing to do with this.
7. Ms. Kapka resigned last month for personal reasons. She did not elaborate on
these reasons in her resignation.
8. With the exception of Ms. Keathley's letter, all indications are that Ms. Ihmels was
very responsive and devoted all the time that was necessary to fully address any
issues or questions that were forwarded to her.
Staff did not indicate that the swim meets would be moved after the incident that
occurred across the street from Jefferson Park, only that if another pool was
available that option would probably be taken. Unfortunately, in order to move the
swim meets, programs had other pools would have had to have been canceled. I
should note that not all of the pools are suitable for the swim meets. During the
forums, staff suggested having the meets at Silver Creek due to the vandalism that
had occurred at Jefferson Park last year and that Silver Creek pool was ideal for this
type of activity and parking would not be the issue that it is at Jefferson Park. The
parents that lived in the northeast objected to having to drive to the southwest each
week. ~
A flyer regarding the city meet was distributed by the coaches on July 26 (copy
attached).

Councilman David Couch August 3, 1999
1501 Truxtun Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93301
Dear Mr. Couch:
I am writing to express my family's disappointment in this ye~s management of the competitive swim program provided by the City
of Bakersfield'Department of Recreation & Parks. We have participated in previous years and found the program a wonderful way to
pass the summer. Unfortunately, this summer's program was lacking in several areas:
1) Team size was reduced from possible 96 to 50 swimmers. This had several negative effects. Weekly meets ivere too
small and offered little competition. My nine-year-old son rarely swam with a boy his own age. 75 swimmers would be
a more reasonable size. Maybe each team could have 48 spaces to provide for four participants per age group per
gender. The remaining spaces would be for open registration. Lane ropes would help make the pools more efficient for
coaching.
Relays were almost eliminated since there were not four swimmers of the correct age and gender to comprise a relay
team.
2) Team scoring at weekly meets was eliminated. This again reduced what little competitiveness there was in the program.
3) Practice times were universally moved to 11:15 am fi'om the prior year's 12:15pm. This prevented children who attended
summer school and camps from participating. The 12:30 "alternate practice" held at Saunders Park was not well mn and
provided little if any coaching. This is to be expected since the number of children varied day to day and there was no
way the staff could remember all the different children.
4) Participation in the city meet will be low because the meet was held August 7 vs. last yeads date of July 25. Too many
families vacation in August.
5) Registration appeared unorganized. I delivered my registration to the post office on April 26 and was informed there
was no space for my son. I asked to be put on the waiting list. The team size and make-up was changed and we were
never switched to the pool of our choice.
. 6) Each year, a team swimsuit is selected. I feel the expensive performance suits selected are excessive for a program of
this duration. I think each team should be assigned a color-and less expensive solid color suits could be purchased. This
would eliminate the problem of the expensive suits being discontinued..
7) Jastro coach, Kristina Kapka, Was dismissed mid-season with no explanation provided. Even though her replacement
Lauren was competent, Kristina was an outstanding coach and the children and parents miss her.
8) I felt Sally Ihmels was very unresponsive to the concerns generated by all the changes made to the program. She
indicated the weekly meets would be moved from Jefferson Park after the July 15 shooting incident. They were not.
She said she would organize.a parent meeting or send out a flyer providing facts about the city meet. Neither was done.
The pool staffs appeared uninformed and frustrated by the problems generated by the changes.
Can something please be done to salvage what is left of the competitive swim program? Any help would be apgreciated.
