CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
July 11,2003
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Alan Tandy, City Manager /~-/_~/, r"£s.
FROM:
SUBJECT: General Information
1. This week has been a very trying one for the staff at the Police Department with
the difficult and highly publicized homicide crime they are dealing with. There are
now over 30 officers assigned to the case, both locally and nationally, and they are
all working earnestly to bring it to a successful conclusion.
2. Bakersfield Citizens for Local Control, the group that is opposing the Super Wal-
Marts, asked the court to issue an order to prohibit construction at the Gosford
Village site. Earlier this week, the judge denied their request. That means
grading, etc. will continue to go forward. There is another hearing set for August
22nd, which will give the judge additional arguments and evidence to determine
whether construction should continue between then and the actual court date to
determine the merits of the case. We will keep you updated.
3. Recreation and Parks will close Wayside Pool, at El Toro and Ming, on July 14th to
perform repairs caused by paint from the bottom of the pool chipping and coming
off, exposing the rough concrete bottom. General Services and Parks staff will do
the repair work, and the expected reopening date is July 21st. Signs have been
posted to notify swimmers. The week of July 14th was chosen for the closure,
because there are no swim lessons scheduled. Wayside Pool has been averaging
approximately 44 swimmers per day, and it is expected that they will go to the
Planz or Beale pools during the closure.
4. Staff received the attached notification from the League that the State will be
delaying the payment of the VLF backfill to cities for the period after the trigger was
pulled (June 20-30). Although the State Controller indicates the backfill payment
for this period will be made in July, this raises concerns about efforts by the State
to raid the backfill monies during the "Gap" between the time the trigger was pulled
.and the fees are paid at a higher amount.
5. The Sacramento Bee reports that the State budget deal to trade local government
sales tax for property tax is gaining momentum. Per the enclosed article dated
July 10th, them are still not many details, so it is unclear to what extent local
government revenues would be damaged.

A legislative update from the California Redevelopment Agency that provides a
fairly clear summary on the proposal is also enclosed.
6. The Grand Jury has issued their 2003 report on the City of Bakersfield, which you
may have reviewed when the newspaper published it. Enclosed is a copy for your
information. It was an optimistic report and the Grand Jury had no issues of
concern requiring additional response from us.
7. A report from Public Works is enclosed with a suggested alternate plan to
accomplish the Chester Avenue streetscape and stay within the funds that are
available for the project.
8. Public Works has received the enclosed response from CalTrans regarding our
request for consideration to close the "tree" streets along the south side of 24th
Street. CalTrans does not recommend the closure, without mitigation work at the
Oak Street / 24th Street intersection and further study to determine the extent of
work needed. Staff will continue discussions with CalTrans on this issue, and we
will keep you updated.
9. The second of three public meetings to develop the Baker Street economic
strategy was held on June 26th. An update on the issues identified is enclosed
from EDCD. The next meeting will be held on July 23rd.
10. The Police Special Enforcement Gang Violence Report for the month of June is
attached.
11. The Government Finance Officers AsSociation has announced that Bakersfield will
receive a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for our
FY 2002 annual report. It is a very prestigious award in government accounting,
and congratulations go to Finance Director Grego~ Klimko and his staff for doing
an outstanding job in preparation of the report.
12. The listing of High Five .Award recipients for the second quarter of 2003 is
enclosed. It is a positive statement about the City's work force that, during
challenging and uncertain economic circumstances, our employees continue to
demonstrate a firm commitment to performing excellent work.
13. The monthly activity report from the Recreation and Parks Department is attached.

Subject: Vehicle License Fee Backfill Payments
The State Controller's office alerted us today on a critical issue related to the July payment of
the Vehicle License Fees (VLF). The VLF payments for June, distributed July10, will not include
100% of the June VLF backfill owed. Instead, they exclude the VLF backfill payment for the
period after the "trigger" was pulled (June 20- 30). It will contain 100°/~ of the direct VLF
payments, and the backfill due for June 1 - 19. The Controller cited the recent lawsuit filed
against the pulling of the VLF "trigger", as well as ongoing budget discussions, as reasons for
his decision to postpone a portion of the backfill payments distributed in July until the end of the
month.
By law, the VLF payments are required to be made monthly - without specific reference to a
date. The State Controller has reiterated his commitment to make the payment on the
June :20 - 30 portion of the backfill before the end of July, and to ensure it is a July
receivable (unless there is legislative action that would require him to do otherwise).
We remain opposed to any efforts by the Legislature and the Administration to raid the backfill
monies during the "gap" between the time the "trigger" was pulled, and the time the fees are paid
at the higher amount. Estimates of the gap losses to local government are in the range of $852
million. This would be a devastating blow to local governments and our ability to provide critical
services.
We appreciate the effort the State Controller's office has made to work with us throughout the
debate on the "gap", and his commitment to pay the full backfill amount in absence of legislative
action directing him otherwise.
A report of the early July allocation amount is available on the State Controller's website at:

Cities wary of tax swap
Plan to trade part of sales tax for property levy gains momentum.
By John Hill -- Bee Capitol Bureau - (Published Suly 10, 2003)
A state budget deal that would swap local government sales tax for property tax is gaining momentum at the
Capitol, but cities are deeply skeptical they will come through unscathed.
"The proposal is outrageous," said Cody Tubbs, intergovernmental relations officer for Elk Grove.
He said it threatens $6 million of Elk Grove's annual revenue -- 15 percent of its budget.
"Ultimately, it's a threat to public safety," he said.
"I'd be disappointed if we lost a genuine opportunity for reform," said Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento.
The details of the plan have not been made public. It's not even certain who came up with.it. But the outline of
the proposal is common knowledge in the Capitol, where it's increasingly seen as a key component of a deal to
close a record-setting $38 billion state budget gap.
Top-ranking lawmakers from both parties emerged from a closed-door meeting with Gev. Gray Davis on
Wednesday declaring they are closer to agreement on some issues, including the tax swap.
"To the extent that you could figure out how it would be a no-lose situation for everyone, well, maybe that's
something that will work if it's necessary to have that stream for the repayment of the debt," said Assembly
Republican leader Dave Cox of Fair Oaks.
The plan stems from the need to carve out a separate source of revenue to pay off bonds that would be sold to
cover $10.7 billion of the deficit. Davis and fellow Democrats in the Legislature have proposed a temporary half-
cent sales tax to pay off the bonds over five years.
Republicans, while endorsing the idea of deficit bonds, say they will not vote for a budget that relies on a tax
increase. Instead, they argue for paying off the bonds with existing revenue.
But that poses complications of its own -- first among them that the bond market might look askance at a bond
issue that wasn't backed by a separate, unfettered source of revenue.
That's where the revenue swap idea comes in. Under this scenario, the state would repeal a half-cent, or
perhaps a quarter-cent, of the sales tax dedicated to local governments.
Simultaneously, the state portion of the sales tax would be raised by the same amount. This new revenue source
could then be used to pay off the bonds.
Local governments, in the meantime, would be reimbursed for their lost revenue with property tax that the state
now spends on schools. The state would have to make cuts of as much as $2 billion in its other operations to
keep schools spending at the level required by law.

The Sacramento Bee -- sacbee.com -- Cities wary of tax swap Page 2 of 3
"We call it the triple flip," said Assemblywoman Jenny Oropeza, D-Long Beach, who believes the move would do
nothing to solve the state's long-term imbalance between spending and revenues.
The proposal as described so far borrows heavily from a bill meant to encourage better land-use decisions. But
while relying on the mechanics of that bill, it would apparently discard its public policy goals.
Some of the major elements of the proposal mirror a bill by Steinberg and Assemblyman John Campbell, R-
Irvine. Their AB 1221 has a much different intent, however -- to make local governments less reliant on sales
tax so that they have less incentive to develop retail businesses instead of housing or manufacturing.
The Steinberg-Campbell bill would institute a similar tax swap, replacing each dollar of sales tax with a dollar of
property tax in the first year. But after that, a city or county would generate revenue depending on the type of
development. If a lot of housing were built, for instance, the local government would reap much of the property
tax windfall. Retail development, on the other hand, would be less lucrative to local governments because they
wouldn't get as big a share of the sales tax.
By most accounts, the swap being discussed as part of the budget deal would differ in one crucial aspect: Cities
and counties would continue in later years to get the same amount they would have under the current system. If
a big auto mall opened up that would have generated sales tax, for instance, the state would give the local
government that same increase in the form of property tax.
That could undercut the AB 1221's intent of changing development incentives in favor of housing and
manufacturing.
"If you blend the land-use agenda with the deficit-reduction agenda, you're asking for trouble," said Chris
McKenzie, executive director of the League of California Cities.
Steinberg said he is not happy about the undermining of the public policy reform.
"There's no time like the midst of a crisis to actually accomplish something that's very difficult to accomplish in
more normal times," he said.
In addition, cities are skeptical that the state would stick to any such deal. They point to their experience in
1992, when the state shifted property tax from local governments to schools to lessen its fiscal burden.
Because this new plan requires the state to reduce its own spending, "what happens if the state doesn't come to
~erms with the neea to make those cuts? ~ubbs asked. "who gets lett BOlCling the Dag.~ Histor~-I~-s-~h-b-~'n~t~,
~sd'6cal governmentB'.'" -
' Local governments have called for a constitutional amendment protecting all their revenue from raids by the
state. But such a measure coul0n't be put betore voters until next year -- long after most people expect a
budqet agreement to be reache~l. '
The Steinberg-Campbell bill, in contrast, would not go into effect unless the constitutional amendment was
approved by voters.
City officials also point out the complexities of the proposed swap. How would it treat agreements between cities
and counties to share sales tax revenues? What would happen to redevelopment agencies, which depend on
property tax increases tied to new development?
"Doing this at the end of the (legislative) session, doing it quickly, is probably not the wisest thing in the world,"
McKenzie said.
Simi Valley also finds fault with the proposal, City Manager Mike Sedell said. The city started off as a bedroom
community but in recent years has tried to achieve a balance by attracting jobs and stores.
"For the state to change the rules guts that process," he said.

Leg Update Page 1 of 1
FRot4:-3OHN F. SHIREY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Legislative Update, 3uly 3, 2003
Both the Senate and House adjourned today (.luly 3) without taking any action on the budget. Senators have been
told that the chair (Senator Burton) could call a session tomorrow (July 4) to consider a budget plan (we think that
is unlikely), and the Assembly is scheduled to meet Sunday late afternoon (July 6) to consider a plan being
developed by Republicans (we do not think enough votes have come together to support passage of that plan).
The major sticking point that stands in the way of resolving the current impasse continues to be Republican
opposition to any tax increase and Democratic resistance to further cuts, particularly in health and social service
programs. A new proposal that surfaced this week to break the impasse is to take some portion, either a quarter
cent or half cent, of the local government sales tax and give that to the State to finance about $11 billion of the
deficit. In this way, no new sales tax would have to be levied, thus meeting a demand of Republicans. The loss of
revenues to local government would be backfilled, dollar for dollar, from property tax dollars in local ERAF
accounts, i.e. a reverse ERAF shift. Unanswered is how that loss of ERAF money would be made up, but that
decision could possibly wait a year given the timing of when various funds are needed under this scenario.
There is support for this latest proposal among some Senators and perhaps Assembly Republicans. Assembly
Democrats are reportedly largely opposed to it. The League of California Cities and the LOCAL coalition are
opposing this swap of dollars primarily because there is no guarantee the State will backfill the lost sales tax dollars
in future years (recall all the problems this year with VLF backfill).
Where does this leave redevelopment? Since many of the budget plans and proposals do not exist in writing and
since many budget issues that affect local government are covered in budget trailer bills and not in the main
budget bill, it is not easy to know for sure. Senate plans still seem to contemplate a one-time $250 million cut in
redevelopment. The Senate Democratic position on redevelopment is embodied in AB 1755, which we have sought
additional amendments to and which may be formally amended as early as Monday. The latest Assembly
Democratic plan contains three years of cuts to redevelopment of $100 :million, $105 million, and $110 million. The
Assembly Republican plan, still being developed, reportedly contains fewer cuts to local government funding,
including no cut in redevelopment.
The good news is that nothing bad has happened to us ..... yet. CRA is not supporting any particular budget plan at
this time, but we do join other local government organizations in expressing concerns on the broader issues
affecting local government. We recommend that you also review the material being distributed by the League and
others. Continue to express to your legislators our opposition to multi-year cuts in redevelopment and to large cuts
in redevelopment funding. We should continue to point out the value of redevelopment investments in getting the
stalled California economy moving again. When we feel that a specific budget plan warrants our support or
opposition, we will notify you.

MISSION STATEMENT
CITIES AND SERVICES COMMITTEE
The Cities and Services Committee of the 2002-2003 Kern County Grand Jury helped
pave the way for our cities to shape the future with people using innovative ways to
deliver growth and prosperity and to provide a quality life for our future generations.
The Cities and Services Committee had the responsibility to oversee the incorporated
cities within Kern County as required by California Penal Code Section 925a. The
Committee may investigate and report on the operations, accounts, and records of the
officers, departments, and'functions of the cities.
Each City visited had its own challenges for the committee ranging from alleged
violations of local and state laws to conflict of interest policy violations. Violations of
the laws were particularly challenging as it involved many various statutes requiring
research and assistance from the District Attorney's Office.
Most cities worked diligently to reach their yearly goals to provide quality service, a safe
environment, and financial stability. Unfortunately, financial stability was challenged
due to the state budget requiring cuts in staffing, equipment, purchases, and service. This
in turn created a less safe environment for their citizens.
The Committee was challenged in making recommendations that would not only be
beneficial, but worth the efforts put forth by the city. Incorporated cities are an important
cog within the wheel of local government.
The Cities and Services Committee was proud to serve the residents of our eleven
incorporated cities and the governments that represent them.
The eleven incorporated Cities visited this year were:
Arvin Ridgecrest
Bakersfield Shafter
California City Taft
Delano Tehachapi
Maricopa Wasco
McFarland
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
PURPOSE:
The Cities and Services Committee of the 2002-2003 Kern County Grand Jury visited the
City of Bakersfield, "City of Golden Opportunity ", on March 24, 2003, to investigate and
report on the operations, accounts, and records of officers, departments, and functions of
the City.
BACKGROUND:
Bakersfield is Kern's County Government seat. The City was last incorporated in 1898.
The current population is 424,000 in the metropolitan area, making it the second largest
city in the San Joaquin Valley.
The Committee met with the City Manager, Assistant Finance Director, Office
Administrator Public Relations, and the Administrative Assistant. The City's budget was
discussed and reviewed.
Budgetary cuts amounting to sixteen and one-half million dollars are being proposed for
the fiscal year 2002-2003 final budget. The cuts are still preliminary with no definite
omission of programs yet decided.
Possible layoffs of city workers may include 162 part-time and temporary positions.
There are no plans of laying off full-time employees.
The new police/fire station on the west side will be built in two stages. The first part is
the police section. This is a transfer station and should be completed next year. The fire
section will be going out to bid soon, however, funding may be a little slower. There are
no plans of increasing the size of the satellite station in east Bakersfield. This station can
be used for public meetings.
The City owns/operates the Bakersfield Airpark. The City obtained an FAA Grant
locking into maintaining the Airpark for 20 years. The City has had difficulty in
attracting commercial· development. Aircraft departures interfere with Meadows Field
approach pattern creating safety issues. The City has no full-time employees at the
Airpark.
The City has hired an independent auditor to deal with the rate increase proposal by the
local ambulance provider. The cost will be paid by Hall Ambulance. The auditors have
already studied cities (all in the San Joaquin Valley) of a comparable size to get an idea
of current rates and increases.
The Aquatic Center in the Centennial Garden area will be a nice addition and attraction.
It will consist of two pools, one is of a competition size and the other is a wading pool 'for
kids. An ice rink will be adjacent to this complex. Two local neighborhood pools
(Jefferson and Martin Luther King) will be revamped and brought up to code. The city
will close Saunders Park pool due to low attendance and costly repair.
One program that may be cut, and of particular interest to the public, is the popular and
successful rocking-by-river concert. It has attracted crowds of up to 8,000 people and is
free to the public.
Businesses and the City have been investing in the downtown area.. Chester Avenue was
once the premier shopping area. It was once lined with major department stores but now
it is mostly specialty shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. There has-been a focus toward.
residential dwellings such as townhouses and apartment living. One local hotel landmark
has been gutted and will consist of apartments for those interested in downtown living.
Residential housing has been under construction on the site of the old foundry: Two new
senior housing projects are in the works. A 180 unit in central Bakersfield will start with
groundbreaking ceremonies in April of 2003. An 80 unit project in the Lowell Park area
will begin in June, 2003.
Bakersfield has had tremendous growth on the west side in the past 30 years. Ninety
percent of new construction is within the city limits. One ongoing problem has been the
roads in and out of the area are plagued with heavy traffic, congestion and a lack of
repair. The City is moving forward in addressing the traffic problem. The West Side
Park Way is now in the planning stage pending an environmental impact report to be
completed in August 2004. Construction will begin at that time with a secured 22 million
dollars from the federal and state government. This highway will begin on Highway 99
and will extend west to Heath Road. Projected completion is due in 2009. A plan to
construct a highwaY in northwest Bakersfield, in the Hageman area, will provide a
corridor into the Rosedale area, without having to travel on Rosedale Highway. Another
connection, alternative 15, will be the State Route 58 east through Washington Street
along the railroad tracks ending near Airport Drive. This will help relieve the 99/58-
traffic flow.
East Bakersfield is finally showing signs of growth and revitalization. The northeast, with
its rolling hills is beautiful and is growing steadily. There has been an ongoing debate
whether the Mesa Marin area should be developed. Baker Street in Old Town Kern will
receive a $750,000 federal grant. The projected area will be on Baker Street from Truxtun
Avenue north to Niles Street. The City is now working with a developer on a plan that
will focus on commercial business. There continues to be a lack of major grocery stores
on the east side. Some' grocery chains, by policy, will not locate in economically deprived
areas. There are many areas on the east side that have supported these chain stores.
CS - 4
COMMENTS:
The City is making every effort to resolve the ambulance service rate increase proposal.
'The hiring of an independent auditor will come up with a solution that will be fair and
comparable to both the city and the ambulance service. -
The new Aquatic Center will be a nice addition to the entertainment center in the
downtown area. The City is commended on their decision to keep the two east side pools
open.
The downtown area continues to grow. Although the overall landscape of business has
changed, the new direction has brought it back to life. The new construction has made
downtown a nice place to live.
The plan to alleviate the problem of traffic has finally gotten off the drawing boards. The
ongoing construction is very positive and shows the intention of the City to help tackle
this problem.
The east side will go through changes with development. This area has many problems.
There is hope that it will someday come alive, with good and responsible planning, as
was done in downtown Bakersfield.
Bakersfield has become a great metropolis. The future will be shaped with visionaries
and planners who really want to see Bakersfield as a model to other cities.

Memorandum
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director
DATE: July 3, 2003
SUBJECT: Chester Avenue Streetscape
Bids on this project were received on June 6, 2003 from three local companies as
shown on the Bid Tabulation attached hereto. All bids were in excess of the $334,000
available for this project from Economic and Community Development.
Staff was requested to review the project to develop an approach that would be within
the funds available. After discussion of several options and reviewing the related cost,
staff recommends the following approach:
1. Delete the median street lights from the project. Future street lights could be
installed in the parkways.
2. Remove the Traffic Signal Modification at West Columbus and Chester Avenue
from the contract and have city crews complete this portion of work.
3. Remove the Landscaping from the contract and have city crews perform the
landscaping work. The irrigation installation would remain as part of the bid item
work for contractor. City crews would then install the landscaping after
acceptance of the Contractor project work.
This approach would allow the construction of the median islands with hardscape
complete including cobble stone and exposed aggregate finish as well as having the full
typical landscaping. This approach also requires that the City absorb costs of PS&E
preparation and construction oversight/administration, as well as the costs to perform
some construction items. For detail, see Option No. 3 of the revised Engineer's
Estimate dated June 26, 2003.
We suggest the following revised schedule for completion of this streetscape project:
Aug - Sep 15, 2003 Traffic signal modifications by City crews.
WGM 7/3/03 S:\PROJECTS\BilI\N. Chester Streetscape\Option No. 2 Recommendation.doc
Sep 2003 Advertise Revised Construction Contract
Oct - Dec 2003 Construction Contract for revised Bid Items
January 2004 Landscape work by City crews
To determine this schedule, Design Engineering staff coordinated with Mr. Frank Young
of General Services and further discussed the revised approach to landscaping with Mr.
Greg Cronk of the Parks Department.
To conclude, after the Bids that were received on June 6, 2003 are formally rejected by
the City Council, we recommend that Design Engineering pursue the plan outlined
above to complete the Chester Avenue Streetscape Project.

MEMORANDUM
July 11, 2003
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: "TREE" STREET CLOSURES ALONG 24TM STREET (SR 178)
Staff just this morning received the attached response from Caltrans regarding the
closure of the Tree Streets along the south side of 24th Street (State Route 178).
Caltrans recommends against the closures without mitigation work at the Oak
Street/24t" Street intersection. They state that this intersection currently operates
over capacity, and that widening to allow 3 through lanes in the east and west
directions, and/or additional left-turn lanes for westbound to southbound and
northbound to westbound traffic may be required (both of these movements currently
have dual left-turn lanes). You may recall this intersection is proposed to be
converted to an interchange as one of the project elements of Alternative No. 15.
Caltrans recommends further study to determine the appropriate mitigation for the
intersection. Staff will further explore with Caltrans the extent of studies they would
require for this determination.

This is in response to your request to investigate the closing of Elm Street, Beech
Street, Myrtle Street, Spruce Street, Pine Street, Cedar Street, "A" Street, & and "B"
Street to the south side of State Route (SR) 178 (24th Street). We have conducted a
traffic study, based on the traffic counts provided by the City of Bakersfield and field
observation, to identify the impacts on SR 178 intersections at Oak Street and "F'
Street. Results of our investigation indicated that the intersection of SR 178 and
Oak Street is currently operating over capacity. Over 600 westbound left-turn
movements were recorded at the AM, PM, and noon peak times for a dual left-turn
lane facility. The resultant queue has been observed to back out into No. I lane.
Furthermore, the eastbound through movements in AM peak and westbound
through movements in PM peak are approximately 1700 vehicles. Under these
conditions diverted traffic would cause additional delay. The field observation also
indicated that the streets south have worked as a congestion relief valve during
extreme traffic conditions (i.e. special events or major incidents). Additionally,
emergency response vehicles may have access problems as a result of the street
closures. Due to these concerns we do not recommend the closing of all the Streets
between Elm and "B" on the south side of SR 178 without mitigation to SR 178 and
Oak Street intersection. Possible mitigation may include the construction of a third
through lane in each direction on SR 178, and/or additional left-turn lar, es for
northbound and westbound traffic. Right -of-way constraints may inhibit some of
these improvements. A study should be performed to determine the appropriate
mitigation.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 559-488-4111.
Sincerely,
ALBERT LEE, Chief

i FROM: Donna L. Kunz, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Baker Street Strategies and Concepts Meeting - June 26
I;
The second, in a series of three public meetings, to develop the Baker Street Economic
Strategy was held the evening of June 26. Approximately 70 people attended. Several
attendees who had participated in the May 16 & 17 charrette exercise came back, as well
as "new arrivals", a contingency of social service providers speaking on behalf of the huge
social problems found in the area.
After a brief summary of the community vision established by the charrette and economic
data, consultants explained the emerging development strategy which includes three
priority areas: Retail and Business Services (locally oriented and ethnic retail, destination
business services, retail and restaurants, and building improvement district); Housinq
(single-family infill and renovations, multi-family infill and mixed-use development, SRO
Hotels); and Community Services (government offices, homeless services and agencies,
faith-based services and agencies). Also identified were development opportunity sites
and potential building improvements to locations including Kern Turf, Rankin Hotel,
Metropole Building, International Square, Union Pacific Depot, Lake and Kentucky Mixed-
Use Redevelopment Project, and the Carwash site (located at Niles and Baker streets).
Eleven major strategic directions were also identified for Baker Street. These included
transportation, homeless housing and services, community design, parks, code
enforcement, arts and cultural activities, safety and security, housing and commercial
rehabilitations, historic preservation, and marketing and marketing and promotion.
Based on community feedback, the strategies and directions will be further refined and
synthesized into the Baker Street Economic Development Strategy. Community members
will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the final recommendations during a third
forum on July 23. The meeting will be held at the Center for the Blind and Visually
Impaired, 1124 Baker Street, from 7:00 - 9:00 PM.

June 2003, Report
HAGGIN OAKS TENNIS COURT REPAIRS
Bids were opened for re-surfacing Haggin Oaks tennis courts on June 16. Staff
is working on reviewing reference information and preparing a construction
agreement. Cracks in the asphalt will be filled and other repairs made prior to
installation of acrylic surfacing. Once started, the project should take less than a
week to complete.
VANDALISM
A recent weekend streak of vandalism at Centennial and Yokuts Park rendered
three slides out of use until replacements arrive. Centennials slides are less than
two years old. Delivery of replacement parts will likely take 5 weeks.
Expectations are costs to remove and replace these three slides will be
approximately $3,000.
NEW ACREAGE
Three parcels were accepted into Maintenance District acreage for Parks
Division to maintain with a combined total of 5.01 acres. Landscaping
improvements within these areas is significant and includes 449 trees and 2,330
shrubs. All of these locations are in northwest Bakersfield.
In addition, two parcels of developer maintained streetscape totaling .21 acres
with 21 trees and 195 shrubs were entered into 365 day maintenance period.
These locations will become our responsibility to maintain following conclusion of
their maintenance period next year.
GUEST RESERVATIONS
Summer season is definitely upon us as popularity of our park system for hosting
everything from family picnics to special events is in full swing. We experienced
241 reservations with approximately 27,554 guests in attendance during the
month of June.
JEWETTA RE-PLANT
We were informed preliminary grade separation work for Jewetta Avenue, near
Liberty High School, would impact streetscape landscaping due to size of slope
for a future overpass. Since existing landscaping would be lost, Parks staff
removed and re-planted 20 trees and 109 shrubs throughout the
Brimhall/Calloway corridor. This project provided and opportunity to use rather
than lose approximately $3,000 in landscape materials.

MEMORANDUM
July 3, 2003
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ~
SUBJECT: REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT IN NORTHEAST
Council Referral #523
COUNCILMEMBER MAGGARD REQUESTED STAFF PREPARE A DRAFT
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE EXTENSION OF FOUR LANES
ALONG HWY 178 FOR COUNCIL TO REVIEW AT A FUTURE MEETING.
Attached is a draft reimbursement agreement between the City of Bakersfield and
Lucas Development, who is currently developing tentative tract map 6182 located north
of SR 178 between Miramounte and Alfred Harrell Highway. As part of the conditions
for this tract, the developer is responsible for providing street improvements on the north
side of SR 178, fronting their tract.
As indicated in the draft agreement, the City desires to have the north side of SR 178
from Tract 6182 to Alfred Harrell Highway widened 2 additional lanes to arterial
standards. This is not the responsibility of Lucas Development, and the City is unsure
as to when the property adjacent to this roadway will be developed. Therefore, the City
desires to enter into a reimbursement agreement with Lucas Development so that these
improvements can be done at the same time the roadway improvements required for
development of Tract 6182 are done. The developer's engineering firm estimates this
additional work to cost $508,000. The City would reimburse the Developer the cost of
improvements at the time that the adjacent parcel is developed with funds obtained from
the adjacent property owner. It is important to note that this estimate is preliminary only
since no plans have yet been developed and additional surveys are needed.
Staff will submit the draft agreement to the Developer for comments and signature.
Once the agreement is finalized, it would be included on a future council meeting for
approval.

Subject: Regional Transportation Impact Fee
· Dear Mr. Caudle:
The City of Bakersfield has achieved great results from our transportation impact fee program.
With it, the City has been able to reconstruct and widen roads, install signals, build bridges and
construct median islands. This improves our citizen's commutes, the streets look better and the
median islands increase the safety of our roadways.
The City of Bakersfield supports a regional transportation impact fee in the County. The impact
fee provides a good revenue source for the City's needed road improvements and will do the
same for Tehachapi.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: WATER TRUCK BID PROTEST
Council Referral #519
STAFF IS REQUESTED TO CONTACT MR. MUNCY AND ADDRESS HIS
CONCERNS REGARDING THE UPCOMING AWARD OF BID ON A WATER
TRUCK AND REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL.
The Water Truck initially went out to bid requiring a McLellan Water Tank. This would
have resulted in a sole source purchase for this item on the truck for which an equal
tank can be purchased from other sources. During the bid period a truck chassis
vendor inquired about the specifications regarding the truck clearance. A fleet
supervisor not familiar with the specifications reviewed them to answer a clearance
height question, and in doing so noticed the sole source for the water tank. Brad
Underwood, Public Works Operations Manager was then contacted about the sole
source issue and asked if a change should be made. After Mr. Underwood asked
whether 'other water tank suppliers which have equal products and there were, he
instructed the supervisor to issue an addendum allowing a more competitive bid
process.
Staff has determined that the bid from Carmenita Truck Center does meet the
requirements of the original specification and addendum. However, we are
recommending that all bids be rejected due to the limited time that some truck chassis
vendors may have had to respond to the addendum and find another water tank
supplier.
