Home My WebLink About02/05/99 B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM February 5, 1999 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER /~/-~ SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. This week we toured a group of City officials from Manchester, New Hampshire through the Garden. They are building a similar arena and wanted to learn from our experience. 2. Looks like the Union Avenue sign issue may be headed in a positive direction. CalTrans needs the rusting structure to be removed as a safety issue, but Buck Owens is pursuing plans to relocate the sign, itself, on a new support structure to Sillect Avenue. 3. While it looks like we will work out the remaining issues with the BIA on the Hillside ordinance, we pulled it from the next agenda to avoid time pressures, per the enclosed memo from the Development Services Director. We intend to have it back on for the second February meeting. The February 10th meeting, by the way, looks light. 4. Please remember to give Jack Hardisty your thoughts on reapportionment, so we can run as many ideas through, as possible, for the next workshop on February 24th. 5. The Thursday, February 4th, Planning Commission meeting went on past the newspaper's cut off time. The Grand Canal project got all the signage they wanted. 6. After the post-election / holiday break, Council committees gear up with four next week. 7. Progress Report No. 10 on the WasteWater Treatment Plant #2 Expansion Project is enclosed for your information. Honorable Mayor and City Council February 4, 1999 Page 2 8. Per the attached press release, Burlington Northern has completed their maintenance project on the main line between Fresno and Bakersfield. 9. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows: · Repair deep rut on California Avenue west of Bakersfield High School; · Status of funding for the interchange at Fairfax Road and Freeway 178. · Check for graffiti around the area of the vacant commercial building near the southeast corner of White Lane and Wible Road; · Provide update on use of surveillance cameras as a crime prevention method for graffiti; · Increase public awareness of acceptable products at the greenwaste facility. AT:rs cc: Department Heads Pamela McCarthy, City Clerk Trudy Slater, Administrative Analyst MEMORANDUM February 4, 1999 TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: JACK HARDISTY, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIR SUBJECT: HILLSIDE ORDINANCE At the last City Council meeting some members of the public suggested that the ordinance should have some terms clarified, consistency in existing authority maintained and applicability of the ordinance more closely related to the slopes. Staff met with representatives of the Building Industry Association, Board of Realtors. er~gineers and private business on Wednesday affernoon. General agreement was reached on all the issues with agreement that the appropriate distance from the slope areas would be determined by the Fire Chief who was out of town. This morning he called and said he needed at least 600 feet from the mapped slope areas to provide adequate fire protection. Most other regular design considerations should also be accommodated by that distance. New proposed zoning maps will need to be drafted for adoption and that cannot be accomplished by this afternoon for printing of the agenda. I have talked to John who must get the agenda out and we will reschedule this for the Council's consideration at the next meeting (or as soon as we can if the City Attorney ~etermines a public hearing is required) so all the changes can be put in good order for the City Council and other interested parties to review.

The 120-mile long track was re-opened Saturday night at approximately 10:00 p.rn, The first freight train to use the upgraded track originated in Bakersfield and traveled up the San Joaquin Valley to Fresno. BNSF Closed the route to ali freight traffic January 18, 1999. TO minimize the impaCt.on CUstomers and communities, work that could have been spread across many months was completed in a two-week period. This was one of the larger BNSF maintenance projects accomplished in a compressed time fratne. During the blitz project, maintenance crews laid six track miles of new steel rail. Approximately 76,000 wood cross ties were installed. One hundred track miles were resurfaced and the ballast was cleaned or rep 'laced. Approximately 40 highway-rail grade crossings along the route were improved. BNSF's line between Bakersfield and Fresno is a key rail route. BNSF employs about 150 people in Bakersfield, 250 in Fresno and more than 3,200 employees statewide.

Two years ago, the City funded a Project Study Report (approximately $160,000 for PSP,). Once the PSR was completed, we placed it in KernCOG's Regional list of projects to be funded with State and Federal dollars. Although we (the City) was the only agency that was ready with a project, KernCOG did not fund its construction. In fact, when the region (KernCOG) received an additional $38 million from the Federal TEA-21 projram, I specifically asked for funding. The COG technical committee only authorized a small amount for environmental work. As it stands now, the initial environmental work is funded through COG but additional funds for construction will be hard to come by.

Thousands of trees lost branches under the weight and numerous shrubs and other plants died. On that Monday that it snowed, the Mt. Vernon Recycling Center was open but only 85 cars and trucks visited the facility. The next day, a record-breaking 1,200 vehicles passed through the gates. And, the record was broken the very day after when 1,500 cars and trucks arrived to drop off their tree limbs and shrubs. During the week of January 25th, the Mt. Vernon Recycling Center serviced over 7,000 vehicles in 6 days and took in an estimated 4,600 tons of materials. This represents an average of 760 tons per day, compared to a normal 260 tons per day. Roughly 31% of the volume was from unincorporated county areas and the rest came in from city residents and businesses. It is anticipated that the lines will continue to be long for another week and that people should expect a wait of 20-30 minutes before they can unload. The media has issued warnings to that effect but has not always reminded residents that the Center does not accept trash or certain types of greenwaste. For example, the Center does not accept tumbleweed because it cannot be composted, nor does it accept fibrous plants such as palm or banana trees because they are too expensive to grind with conventional. equipment. Trash, tumbleweed and palm must be taken to the landfill.
