November 6, 1998
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Welcome and congratulations to the two Councilmembers-Elect! They will be included
in all materials distribution from this point forward.
2. We have in process the seventh house sale on Panorama. That puts us at,
essentially, the halfway point.
3. Disney on Ice is doing very well and has exceeded all expectations.
4. We continue to progress towards adoption of a South Beltway alignment. The comment
period and hearing on the adequacy of the draft EIR have been completed, but to
accommodate the differences between the City's and County's review process,
additional comments will be accepted up to the close of the alignment hearing by the
Planning Commission in December. The City Council should be hearing this in
February.
5. A memo is enclosed from the Public Works Director regarding the status of our street
maintenance program for FY 98/99. We have made substantial progress so far this
year, but due to our aggressive program and the damage caused by the heavy storm
season, we have also used a great deal of our street maintenance budget. Staff is in
the process of determining how much will be needed in additional monies and the
potential funding sources.
6. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows: · Status report on the Dennen area sewer project;
· Update on repairs of a cross-gutter located at 22n~ and Beech Streets.
7. The latest editions of the redevelopment newsletters for Old Town Kern and Southeast
Bakersfield are enclosed.

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~ .,//'
FROM: Jack Hardisty, Development Services
SUBJECT: Southern Beltway Plan Line
The Draft Environmental Impact Report adequacy hearing was conducted by the
Planning Commission. Testimony at that hearing focused primarily on the
appropriateness of the "preferred" alternative on residential areas west of Highway 99.
Responses have been prepared for the final EIR to be certified at the Planning
Commission's hearing for plan line consideration on December 17, 1998. Since the City
and County are co-lead agencies on this project, we need to take an extra step to insure
that both our procedural requirements are satisfied. The City conducts a public hearing
on the adequacy of draft EIR's during the comment period while the County does not
have a public hearing except to consider adoption. Therefore, in addition to the public
hearing during the comment period, the Planning Commission will have an additional
public hearing on the EIR while they are hearing the plan line proposal. This way county
residents who may have planned to speak on the adequacy of the EIR and on the
appropriateness of the plan. line will have an opportunity to do so.
Everyone within one half mile of the preferred and alternative alignments was notified of
their, ability to comment on the draft EIR and the adoption of a plan line. After the
Planning Commission hearing in December, additional notices and hearings will be
conducted by the City Council in February 1999, County Planning Commission in March
1999, and Board of Supervisors in May 1999.

MEMORANDUM
To: Alan Tandy, City Manager
From: Raul Rojas, Public Works Director ,~v/] ~.~
Date: November 2, 1998
Subject: Street Maintenance
First the good news. I am pleased to inform you that Streets Division staff has been making
substantial progress in the City's street maintenance program. Crews have been busy with crack
sealing, pothole patching, dig-outs and resurfacing a significant number of local streets. We
have adopted an aggressive street maintenance program in order to extend the life of our streets
and avoid the costly reconstruction process necessitated when street maintenance is delayed.
Street maintenance has been especially critical since the onset of this fiscal year, due to the heavy
storm season. In the 97/98 fiscal year, approximately 37,200tons of asphalt and oilsand were
used in the process of maintaining City streets and alleys. While we are only four months into the
current fiscal year, 37,500 tons of street material have already been used and much more work is .
still needed.
Now for the downside. All of this street maintenance work has caused an accelerated drain of our
98/99 street maintenance budget. The funding source for a significant portion of the street
maintenance budget is the Gas Tax Fund ($750,000 allocated in the 98/99 FY). As of today,
approximately $655,000 has been expended. This represents 87% of our 98/99 adopted street
maintenance budget within the Gas Tax Fund. In addition, we have not received invoices for all
materials ordered. An estimate of these outstanding invoices totals $100,000. In order to
maintain our aggressive street maintenance program, additional funds are needed. The amount
needed could range from between $300,000 to $500,000.
I have instructed staffto firm up the additional amount needed. Sometime later this calendar year,
I will provide you with a memo fine-tuning the additional amount needed. I will also provide a
recommendation listing both advantages and disadvantages of our proposal and potential funding
sources.
I wanted to give you a heads-up on this situation as quickly as possible. Please call if you have
any questions.
