HomeMy WebLinkAbout03/28/03 B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM March 28, 2003 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council mandy, City Manager FROM: Alan SUBJECT: General Information 1. I regret to inform you that, for the fourth consecutive quarter, the sales tax receipts came in at disappointing levels. We are at 1.02% growth for the first three quarters of the fiscal year, which is well below the rate of inflation. 1% of the sales tax is worth about $450,000. We now have to lower both the current year's projection, as well as next fiscal year's projection. It is a very big ticket item, since our normal growth rates are in the 5 - 6% per year range. This is, of course, on top of the self-insurance fund $3.4 million deficit, and the $5- 6 million increase in pension costs, the latter due in large part to the declining stock market. All of this does not take into consideration what the State might do to us. It is going to be a very challenging and unpleasant budget that we will adopt for next fiscal year. We will need to be creative and consider revenue enhancements that might, in .normal times, not be considered. We will, despite all efforts, also have to lower expectations about new programs and new projects, response times, and lots of things that are good, but less than essential. I know our employees will cooperate and help! We will also have to ask the City Council for your understanding of the circumstances that are not desired but which, nonetheless, do exist. 2. A report from John Stinson is enclosed following up on Council requested research on the ambulance rate issue. It is our understanding that this is to appear on your next agenda. 3. There has been no recent significant activity at the State level on the budget crisis. The latest weekly update from the League reports that the Senate and Assembly have begun sub-committee hearings for nextthYear's budget. The Governor is required to submit his revisements by May 14 , and the legal opinion is that the results of his submittal could trigger the VLF, if the State's cash position reflects "insufficient monies". [ 4. The fundraising committee for the McMurtrey Aquatic Center has requested that staff do research related to variable depth bottoms for pools. A preliminary report on that topic is enclosed for your review. Honorable Mayor and City Council March 28, 2003 Page 2 5. Castle & Cooke has very generously offered to donate the exterior brick for the new Fire Station #15 / Westside Police Substation. Their trademark brick will add a very attractive dimension to the building. The contribution is greatly appreciated. 6. The revitalization plan for Baker Street is well underway, with a charrette scheduled for May 16th and 17th. The enclosed memo from EDCD outlines the economic development strategy for the area. 7. The Water Resources Department received word this week from the Kern County Water Agency that, due to high storage levels in San Luis Reservoir on the State Water Project, surplus water flowing into the Bay-Delta area will be made available to Kern County until the 1st of April. This means we will begin seeing water in the Kern River channel today, and it should last until the middle of next week. It should make for a great weekend in the Parkway! 8. Recreation and Parks staff received an update this week from the State Parks and Recreation Office of Grants and Local Services on the status of Proposition 40 monies. A report is enclosed with information on what monies may be available to US. 9. The press release announcing the ice center groundbreaking event next Wednesday, April 2nd, is enclosed. ' 10. The Recreation and Parks summer brochure is attached. Despite the economic circumstances that have caused some of their programs and events to be reduced or cancelled, there will still be many activities available. 11. The latest CIP report from Public Works is enclosed. 12. Responses to Counci!member requests are enclosed: Councilmember Benham · Processes related to initiating the EIR for the 24th Street corridor project; Councilmember Maggard · Update on information provided to citizen regarding the Wal-Mart project; Councilmember Salvaggio · Exploration of funding sources for the sound wall at the Highway 99 and White Lane interchange.

E I~ D~ OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM March 28, 2003 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: John W. Stinso~,~s~sistant City Manager SUBJECT: Ambulance Rate Review - Rate Modification Study and CPI Analysis Pursuant to Council direction, staff has distributed the RFP for the Ambulance Rate Modification Study to various professional consulting firms who specialize in this type of study. Additionally, a press release was sent out and the RFP was put on the city's web site. Several local consultants also requested copies of the RFP. We have received .indications from about four consultants that they intend to submit proposals and staff has responded to questions regarding the proposed study. Proposals are due by April 4th at 4:00 p.m. Staff has also been researching information regarding use of the CPI for ambulance rate adjustments. A number of cities and county EMS agencies have been contacted regarding rate regulation and the use of the CPI in setting rates. There are a variety of approaches to using the CPI for rate regulation. Some counties use the west regional CPI, some use the nearest local CPI (for example Contra Costa and Monterey use the San Francisco Bay Area CPI). Some counties use a combination of annual CPI adjustment with periodic rate surveys ranging from every other year to every five or so years to provide a basis for evaluating rates. In discussions with these agencies it was common that a combination of categories was used for CPI adjustments. Typically, some combination of the Transportation CPI component and the Medical or Medical Care Service CPI component were used. Some areas (such as Los Angels and Ventura Counties) used the average of these two components, an in a discussion with an EMS consultant, he indicated this is a common approach to doing ambulance rate CPI adjustments. A fewer number of areas applied a percentage of each component to produce a CPI factor (for example 25% of the Transportation CPI change, 50% of the Medical Care Services CPI change, and 25% of the All Items CPI change). Staff has also received an updated statewide ambulance rate survey prepared by the Ventura County EMS director. In addition staff compiled a rate analysis for the survey cities typically used by our city. In some cases there were rates set for a particular city, in many cases since those cities do not regulate rates the county S:~OHN\Projects~MB~Ambulance Rate Review - Rate Modification Study and CPI Analysis.doc rates were used. Staff has prepared a rate analysis which shows the City's current rates~ the rates requested by Hall Ambulance (original and revised), the updated state survey average, the survey cities, average, and finally the current city rates adjusted by the average of the increase in Transportation and Medical Care Services CPI's for the West Urban area over the past three calendar years of 10.7% for the Council's information.

That research falls into three primary areas, as follows: 1) Desiqn team - Cost estimates, and advantages and disadvantages of each of the two alternate systems from their point of view. This research is attached. It shows full cost of the hydraulic system at $463,500. It shows added annual electrical consumption (because there is more water to circulate) at between $15,000 - $20,000. It shows the cost of a stackable platform or portable system at $282,500. That system is not recommended because it has 200 separate pieces and takes 70 man hours to change over. 2) County Health Department -Stan Ford contacted the Director of the Kern County Health Department, and has given them references of other Health Departments and how they have ruled on these variable depth pools. They are doing that research and we do not have their feedback at this time. The key issue here is, in addition to the technical review for water safety, whether or not they would rule it to be a "special purpose" pool. If they did, it could not be used for many of the activities, events, lessons, aerobics, etc., that have been anticipated. More will come in on this topic later. 3) Reference checks on cost, maintenance, reliability, etc. Three of these are enclosed. Our Engineering Department is actively seeking out others, and more information will follow. The fundamental question before the fundraising committee is whether $463,500 is an attainable goal. We will continue research on the Health Department interpretation and the reference checks as the committee deliberates the issue of the $463,500. Attachments cc: Stan Ford, Recreation and Parks Raul Rojas, Public Works Greg Bynum, Greg Bynum & Associates Ignatius Chau, Rossetti Associates Architects City of Bakersfield " Ice and Aquatic Center Adjustable Floor System Comparison Rossetti / Aquatic Design Group March 20, 2003 There are mainly two types of Adjustable Floor System for Pools, the Hydraulic Movable Floor System and the Portable Floor System. The following are their comparison: HYDRAULIC MOVABLE FLOOR SYSTEM Description: The movable floor system comes in a package with controls, hydraulic lines, rams, etc. The recommended configuration is to set up the floor with what is called a trailing floor or ramp. We assumed that we would need an area of at least 20' of uniform 3'6" water depth for teaching and training. We then need to transition back to 7'0" water depth, which is why we need the trailing floor. Because code requires a slope no greater than 1:10 to transition from 3'6" water depth to deeper water, this means the trailing floor will take up an additional 35' of pool length, making the whole movable floor approximately 55' (flat floor plus trailing floor) x 75' (the width of the 50 meter pool). The pool has to be a minimum of 10' deep where the movable floor rests to allow for the floor structure plus the hydraulic rams or scissor jacks to move the floor up and down. Cost for the floor installed is approximately $350,000, plus the cost to deepen the pool from 3'6" to 10'0", which we would estimate at approximately $75,000, for a total cost of approximately $425,000 for this solution. Pros: 1. The ultimate in flexibility. Within a few minutes, the movable floor could be extended or retracted as needed. Both shallow ends instruction / recreation and deep water competitive swimming could be accommodated within the same pool. Cons: 1. Construction Cost. At $425,000, this is a very pricey solution, given the limited market served. 2. Design Cost: This would involve a complete redesign of the 50 meter pool- new structural, mechanical, electrical, and a whole bunch of new details to accommodate the movable floor. Given the number of sheets to be revised and added, we are proposing a fee of $38,500.00 which will include Rossetti and ADG's scope of services. 3. Operational Cost: The additional volume added to the pool would require an additional 5-10 hp of circulation pump. Given current electrical costs of $0.15 per kilowatt hour, this translates into approximately $15,000 - $20,000 in increased energy costs per annum. 4. Project Delay: The final issue to consider is the delay associated with getting this system approved by the County Health Dept. ADG happened to be speaking with the swimming pool section head at L.A. County about another project and brought up the subject of the movable floor. He has only seen one movable floor in the past 20 years, and he indicated that if he were reviewing the system he would need a full set of drawings, including how we would handle water flow in the recessed floor area, clearances between the floor and the pool walls, how the hydraulic systems work, etc. This process could drag on for several months, and even then we would have no assurances that the system would be approved. PORTABLE FLOOR SYSTEM Description: The portable floor system would be comprised of a series of adjustable platforms that could be lowered into the "shallow" end of the 50 meter pool, which would need to be reconfigured to be at least 6'6" or 7'0" to accommodate starting platforms. Assuming the platforms were available with the adjustment range needed, 200 plus individual platforms would be required to give the City the equivalent shallow end space currently shown on the drawings. The cost for this option would be approximately $250,000, FOB the job site. Pros: 1. Some flexibility in programming. The portable floor system could be removed for competitive events as needed. Both shallow ends instruction / recreation and deep water competitive swimming could be accommodated within the same pool. Cons: 1. Capital Cost. $250,000, less expensive than the movable floor. 2. Design Cost: This would involve a complete redesign of the 50 meter pool- new structural, mechanical, and electrical as required to revise the pool depth. Given the number of sheets to be revised, we are proposing a fee of $32,500.00 which will Rossetti and ADG's scope of services. 3. Operational Cost: The additional volume added to the pool would require an additional 3-5 hp of circulation pump. Given current electrical costs of $0.15 per kilowatt hour, this translates into approximately $10,000 - $15,000 in increased energy costs per annum. 4. Labor Cost: The cost to remove and reinstall the portable floor could tax the resources of any Parks and Recreation Department. If we assume it takes two laborers 10 minutes per platform, this totals over 70 man hours per move of the portable floor system. 5. Project Delay: Similar to the movable floor, there will be a delay associated with getting this system approved by the County Health Dept. Based upon ADG's experience with local health officials, ADG fears that this solution may be rejected out of hand. There is nothing in the current health code that addresses this type of application, and it would be extremely difficult to configure the portable floor system in a way that conforms to the floor slope requirements codified in 1998 CBC. Like the movable floor, this process could drag on for several months, and even then we would have no assurances that the system would be approved. Additional information regarding Portable Floor Systems ADG was able to find three (3) vendors of the "Tot Dock" product (Lincoln Equipment, Recreonics and Spectrum Aquatics), and none of the vendors manufacture a portable platform that will meet the City's needs. We are assuming that the "shallow" end of the 50 meter pool will need to be at least 6'6" or 7'0" to accommodate starting platforms. The problem with the tot docks is that they only adjust up to 24", and we would need at least another 12- 18" of adjustment to allow for a 3'6" water depth when the tot docks are placed in the water. Standard size on the tot docks currently offered are 42" x 60" with an 18" to 24" adjustment in 1/2" increments. The best price ADG was able to find is $977 plus tax and shipping per unit. Assuming that the tot docks worked for this application, 214 individual tot docks would be required to give the City the equivalent shallow end space currently shown on the drawings. The cost for this option would be approximately $240,000, FOB the job site. The tot dock option is further complicated by the fact that each tot dock weighs approximately 110 pounds, so some sort of crane or lifting device would need to be developed to install and remove the tot docks. Other difficulties include lining up and adjusting the tot docks underwater, and conforming with the provisions of 1998 California Building Code, which mandates a 1:10 maximum slope when transitioning from 3'6" to 4'6" water depth, and 1:3 slope for water deeper than 4'6".

March 24, 2003 There are two types of AFW movable swimming pool floors - a mechanical system and a hydraulic system. The mechanical system uses scissor jacks to raise and lower the floor. The hydraulic system uses pistons (or rams) to raise and lower the floor. Per Aquatic Development Group, Inc., there is no difference in the life of or cost of either system. The hydraulic system has very parts than the mechanical system. The hydraulic system also runs smoother than the mechanical system, which is important for therapeutic spas where they use the movable floor to lower their patients into the pool. The mechanical system requires a pit next to the pool for installation of the motors, etc. The following is a list of information from current users of AFW Movable Floors. Staff asked a series of questions to each user. Aquatic Development Group, Inc. provided a list of references on March 20, 2003.

We have heard back from three existing facilities with AFW floor and one facility with a different manufacture's product. All of the AFW floors are at least 10 years old. The other floor is about 8 years old. Of the AFW floors, the only major objection is at Rutgers University. They selected the option of tiles on the top surface of the movable floor. Those tiles keep popping off. We should go with the membrane floor surface to avoid this problem. The maintenance of hydraulic systems is a minor objection by several of the owners. However, Bob Olrick (sp?) of Aquatic Development Group, Inc. (ADG) has told me that their design has been enhanced since those floors were installed. This enhancement reduces the need for replacement of cylinders in the system. All the owners said that the benefits of the floor (being able to offer many more activities) more than offsets the relatively minor hassles of maintenance. According to ADG's web site, the AFW floor is "manufactured and serviced from ADG corporation headquarters" which is in Cohoes, New York. But Joan Studts with Area Education Agency in Iowa says their replacement parts come from Germany. Before we go with ADG, we need to get a confirmation from them as to where their floor is made. There are at least three other manufacture's who have movable floors in the USA. M Malmsten AB in Sweden offers Aqua Level Movable Floor. Myrtha Pools in Italy also offers a movable floor. Paddock Pool Equipment in South Carolina, USA has a movable floor.

Tom O'Connor, Stationery Enqineer, Asphalt Green, NYC, NY, 212-369-8890 I have two indoor hydraulic movable floors here at Asphalt Green that were installed 10 years ago with the original pool construction. One floor is the entire bottom of my Therapy Pool that measures 18' x 26'. Its is a single ram hydraulic floor. The floor itself moves from 6' 7" to 0 depth. This pool is used for programs, recreation and therapy. The annual maintenance cost is minimal (under $2000.00) in comparison to revenue generated. I could not pinpoint operating costs at this time but that also is minimal. The other floor here is 30' x 60' that is in my 50 meter pool. That is a 4 ram floor system that operates off ultra-sound sensors. The travel on this floor is the same as the smaller floor. This pool is used for programs recreation and competition. The annual maintenance costs for that floor are approximately double the smaller floor. Both floors were installed by AFW. I have been very satisfied with both the operation of these floors and the service provided by Aquatic Development Group.

Box 151, 1670 AD Medemblik; The Netherlands; PH + 31 2274 3044; FAX + 31 2274 3860 What size is the floor. -- 12 meters by25 meters What size is the swimming pool floor. -- Our pool is 25 meters by 50 meters. What depth range does the floor provide. -- The floor can go from 0 depth to 7' 8" - the shell of the pool below goes to 10' but thickness of the floor along with the pulley/cable system make up the difference Is the movable floor in an indoor or outdoor pool. -- It originally was in an outdoor pool with a roof (built for the '96 Olympics), but is currently being enclosed for year round use What are the annual operating costs of the floor. -- Minimal electricity, but negligible What are the annual maintenance costs of the floor. -- Minimal - other than labor costs to vacuum under the floor (which can be raised to clean) and inspection of hydraulics, etc. at this time negligible C:\Documents and Settings~atandy. BAKERSFIELD\Local Settings\Temp\Research on Movabte Floors.doc Page 2 of 3 When was the floor installed. -- installed in 1995 Was the floor installed with initial pool construction or was the floor added to an existing pool. -- The floor was installed with the original construction, completed in the summer of 1995 What mechanism is used to raise floor - mechanical lift floor or hydraulic lift floor. -- The floor is a floating floor controlled by hydraulics through a pulley and cable systems - hydraulics are outside the pool wall in the mechanical room and the pulleys and cable are underneath the floor in the pool What is your overall satisfaction with the movable floor. -- Very pleased with the floor - definitely allows flexibility in programming for shallow water activities, area of non-swimmers, etc. We always lower the floor during a swim meet creating a deep pool, therefore not effecting the speed of'the pool. Are there any negative aspects to the movable floor. -- The only negative thing is if you have a bulkhead in your pool that submerges 4-4 1/2 feet down into the water, then the floor can only be raised to just below the bulkhead limiting shallow water. We run in to this problem when the pool is set for 50 meters and both bulkheads are at the ends of the 50 meter pool. If we want to create shallow water then we also have to move one of the bulkheads. Its not that significant of a problem, but I suggest looking at your programming and factor this in if you also have bulkheads in your pool. One question you did not ask was cost; but I thought I would throw that in. At the time of our purchase, the cost was $550,000. C:\Documents and Settings',atandy.

I spoke with Bob at Aquatic Development Group regarding cleaning under the moveable floor. His response was "you don't." He acknowledged that stuff will get under the floor. He said he would meet with his R&D guy and see if they can come up with some type of a "jet" cleaning system. In our outdoor setting, I think not being able to clean the pool would be a major problem. I will be discussing with the health department. CC: Arnold Ramming; Raul Rojas MEMORANDUM ClTY A TTORNEY'S OFFICE March 27, 2002 .~ TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER ~'/ ( .~ FROM: BART J. THILTGEN, CITY A~ORNEY~ SUBdECT: PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL CONSTRUCTION Last night, you inquired about the standards for construction of a public swimming (specifically the 3'6" shallow end depth) and whether these standards applied to a "special-purpose" pool. Initially, California Health and Safety Code section 116050 requires that the construction of "public swimming pools," as defined, must comply with the State Building Standards Code (This is currently the 2001 edition of the Uniform Building Code as adopted by the State and the City). Under the Uniform Building Code, the following provisions are applicable to your inquiry: · Special-Purpose Pool is defined in section 3103B.2 as "... a pool intended to be used exclusively for a single purpose, such as wading, instruction, diving, competition, or for medical treatment where a licensed professional in the healing arts is on attendance." Thus, the proposed aquatic center pool would not fit into this definition as it is intended to be used for instruction, diving, and competition - not exclusively for a single purpose. Therefore, the exemptions from the construction standards associated with special-purpose pools are inapplicable. · Section 3108B.1, Dimension and Slopes, requires that "the dimensions and slopes of a pool shall conform to the appropriate Figure 31B-1 through Figure 31B-3." These three Figures deal with depths of the pools with specific relationship to the height of a diving board above the water level (1 and 3 meter boards, 30" or less above the water level, and without a diving board). While the Figures primarily relate to the depth of water in the deep end, each Figure shows the depth of water at the shallow end to be a maximum depth of 3'6". The only exception to this maximum depth requirement referenced on the Figures is limited to special-purpose pools. Based upon the above, and assuming the aquatic center pool will also be used for instruction, I could locate no exception which would allow the City to deviate from the 3'6" maximum depth requirement. Attached is a copy of the relevant portion of the Uniform Building Code with the applicable section highlighted.

We are very pleased that conStruction has begun on our long-awaited facility for that area of Bakersfield and greatly appreciate your generous contribution to the project. The Castle & Cooke "trademark" brick will add a very attractive dimension to the building.

Economic and Community Development Department MEMORANDUM March 27, 2003 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager~. ~¢d.,v~"'-- FROM: Donna L. Kunz, Economic and Community Development Director SUBJECT: Economic Development Strategy for the Baker Street Corridor On March 26 City Council approved staff's recommendation to retain Moore Icafanco and Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) and Applied Development Economics as the consulting firms to develop the Economic Development Strategy for the Baker Street Corridor. The study was been made possible when the City was awarded a $143,600 grant from the California Air Pollution Control Financing Authority under the Sustainable Communities Grant and Loan Program to identify opportunities for revitalization and economic development in the Old Town Kern Baker Street Corridor. The grant stipulates the retention of a planning consultant(s) that have experience in planning, urban design and infill development MIG will perform the economic development strategy in four phases including: Phasel-Assessment and Analysis of Economic and Community Problems and Opportunities; Phase 2 - Community Visioning (charrette); Phase 3 - Economic Development Strategy Action Plan for the Baker Street Corridor; and, Phase 4 - Evaluation. The strategy will focus on the desire to create a sense of place that is inviting, engaging and safe, where people work in close proximity to where they live. Under this contract, a detailed strategy will be developed, and the community will be engaged in a productive visioning process. This process, combined with an analysis of the corridor building inventory and market opportunities, will result in an action plan designed to facilitate the successful development of Baker Street as the key commercial corridor in the Old Town Kern area. The charrette is scheduled for the evening of May 16th and the day of May 17th tentatively at the Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, 1124 Baker Street. Two follow-up community meetings will review the Marketing Analysis and the Strategies/Concepts for the corridor and the Corridor Economic Development Strategy.

The following are highlights from my attendance: The act will provide 2.6 billion for the purpose of resource improvement, protection, development, acquisition, restoration and enhancement. · 832.5 million is available for local park purposes. · There are two formula based non-competitive programs. 1). *Per Capita Program. Preliminary allocation to the city of Bakersfield is **$995,000. 2). *Roberti-Z'Berq-Harris Block Grant Pro.qram. Preliminary allocation to the city of Bakersfield is **$614,200. · Programs are included in the governor's proposed budget. · *Actual allocations should be determined in April 2003. · There are two competitive programs funded in the 02/03 State Budget. 1). AB 1481 Frommer, Urban Park Act of 2001 Grant Pro.qram has 140 million available for acquisition or development of new facilities. We qualify to apply in a very specific population based definition of eligible applicants. Administrative guidelines do not yet exist but should begin development soon. 2). Murray-Hayden Urban Youth Services Grant Program has 50 million available for parks, park facilities, and youth centers that target at-risk youth in poor neighborhoods. We qualify to apply as a heavily urbanized city. Administrative guidelines do not yet exist but should begin development soon. Several other competitive programs are part of the bond act but funding will not occur until a future State Budget. c senior staff p:prop40-03 B A K E R S F I E L D Alan Tandy- City Manager PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Rhonda Smiley Thursday, March 27, 2003 City Manager's Office Public Relations (661) 326-3753 GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY TO BE HELD FOR NEW BAKERSFIELD ICE CENTER A groundbreaking ceremony will be held on Wednesday, April 2, 2003 at 11:00 a.m. for the new ice center that will be constructed in downtown Bakersfield, south of the Centennial Garden and Convention Center.

Councilmember Benham requested staff explore and report back to Council as to whether the EIR process can reasonably begin before CalTrans gives approval in order to expedite long term traffic concerns or provide temporary measures to relieve immediate concerns. Answer to Second Part: Before the environmental document can be initiated, the Project Study Report (PSR) must be completed and approved by Caltrans. The PSR's for the widening of 24th Street and the interchange at Oak and 24m Streets have been submitted to Caltrans, and approval is expected latter this Spring. Caltrans has said due to the complexity of the interchange and the historical nature of the neighborhood, the environmental document phase for the widening and the interchange will probably take several years to complete. Staff has proposed initial funding to start this process in next fiscal year's Capital' Improvement Program budget. If Federal funding is proposed to acquire properties for the interchange or widening, the environmental document must be completed and approved prior to requesting this funding. ,S:VI'E D\2003 mcmos\O32003a12.m~:m.doc B A K E R S F I E L D M E M ORA N D UM r~ ....

SOUND WALL FUNDING SOURCES Council Referral #000396 Councilmember Salvaggio requested staff explore funding sources for the sound wall at Highway 99 and White Lane Interchange, should state funds be unavailable. Staff has prepared a letter (copy attached) to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) cosigned by the Kern Council of Governments that requests the CTC take action regarding the allocation of funds for the soundwall. This item is currently on the agenda for the April 2/3 CTC meeting. If no action is taken regarding this allocation, then staff will pursue a reimbursement agreement with the CTC or some other method whereby the City could temporarily front the funds for construction of the wall and then get compensated at a later date. As the wall is mitigation for the interchange expansion, Transportation Development Funds could be used to construct the wall.

C~OR California Transportation Commission (CTC) P.O. Box 942873 Sacramento, CA 94273 Attn: David W. Brewer, Deputy Director Re: White Lane Soundwall Allocation (April 2/3 CTC Meeting) Dear Mr. Brewer, Caltrans, the Kern Council of Governments (KernCOG), and the City of Bakersfield realized many years ago that the expansion of the White Lane interchange at State Route 99 (SR99) was necessary both for the safety of the traveling public as well as to maintain acceptable levels of service for traffic in the area. The parties agreed to confront this problem jointly with Caltrans rebuilding the southbound off ramp and constructing a southbound auxiliary lane, and with the City paying for the widening of the bridge over State Route 99 as well as improvements to the northbound off and on ramps to SR99 and a northbound auxiliary lane for SR99. As the environmental process for the project progressed, a soundwall in the southeast quadrant of the interchange was identified as a mitigation measure necessary for the interchange expansion project to go forward. The City applied to KernCOG for State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding for the wall ($750,000), and the soundwall funding was approved as part of the 2002 STiP programmed in the 02-03 Fiscal Year. The construction documents are nearly complete for the interchange expansion (95% PS&E submitted which includes the soundwall), and the City anticipates bidding the project the latter part of April. The City has requested an allocation for the soundwall from the CTC, and the item is on the agenda for the April 2/3 meeting. The City has to date expended over $1,000,000 in local funds for the project including the Project Study Report, the Noise Barrier Sound Study Report, the Project Report, the environmental documents, and the construction documents (PS&E). And The City has already budgeted and is ready to spend another $5,000,000 in local funds to construct its portion of the interchange improvements. The City has been closely following the situation regarding STiP project allocations, is aware of [he State budget circums~a,ces and is concerned regarding the status of the allocation for the soundwall. However, the City is also aware of the Commission's desire to help projects that are "ready to go" to construction. Therefore, the City requests that the Commission takes this into consideration and approves the allocation for the White Lane soundwall at their April 2/3 meeting, allowing the interchange expansion project to go for',vard. The City of Bakersfield and KernCOG greatly appreciate your past assistance with our STIP projects and look for,,vard to working with you on our upcoming STIP projects. Should you have any questions, please contact City of Bakersfield Assistant Public Works Director Jacques LaRochelle at 661-326-3596. Again, thank you for your efforts. Very truly yours, O~NAL~D E~. ~RJ/'UM TT "' RAUL M. ROJAS Public Works Director, City of Bakersfield Execu ernments cc: Honorable Mayor Harvey L. Hall and 'City Council Mernbers Michael Leonardo.

Assistant Public Works Director S.~TEO~2OO3 leiters',Wh~e Lane So,~d Wall '2TC ~etter doc A Message from the Director Good times, bad times. After several "favorable" years, we are experiencing the effect of the nation-wide economic recession. One unfortunate result is that some of our programs and services have been reduced or eliminated. Despite our never-ending effort to improve operational efficiency and seek alternate funding sources, these cuts were necessary. Be assured that we will not lower our standards or commitment to quality service. However, we cannot continue to provide services at the same level as in previous years. As more difficult decisions become necessary, we will continually reevaluate our priorities. A variety of sources are utilized to assist us in our planning. From a survey conducted by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin and Associates in 2000, we learn that: 81% of California voters are more concerned about "safe neighborhood parks, playfields, and places for children to play" than they are about taxes, pollution, and drug abuse. Data like this is very helpful to those who are involved in the decision process. If you have input, please let us hear from you. Together we can get through this and be stronger from the experience. ' On behalf of Team Not-As-Much Fun, ! invite you to join us for another great summer.
