MEMORANDUM
September 5, 2003
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Co/~ /
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
1. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District held meetings with Planning
Directors this week to discuss their program to develop an indirect source revenue fee.
Enclosed is a memo from Development Services which details the proposed plan. They
predict they will have such a fee in two years.
2. It appears that the search firm working on the City Attorney recruitment will be ready to
meet with the Council at the regular meeting of September 24th in closed session. That,
theoretically, would result in the need for a special meeting for interviews, within a couple
of weeks thereafter. Council members should be thinking about what would be the most
acceptable time for such a session, which could run three to five hours, depending on
the number selected for interview. Please call if you have questions.
/
3. For the last three years, the League of California Cities has been evaluating the
feasibility of sponsoring a statewide ballot measure to help insulate city revenues from
state raids. During the Annual Conference in Sacramento next week, representatives
will be asked to approve a resolution to sponsor such a measure. A recent poll indicates
76% are in support. When approved, it will be filed with the Attorney General's office in
September, with signature gathering tentatively to begin in November.
4. The latest update from the League is attached. The reprieve from the legislature going
after our money appears to have been short-lived. A new effort to capture
redevelopment money appears to be underway.
5. SMG and Holiday Inn staff announced their intention to bid on the 2004 USA Boxing
Western Trials. These athletes are the top amateur boxers of USA boxing in route to the
summer Olympics in 2004. We wish them the best of luck in their quest to bring this
exciting sporting event to Bakersfield.
6. Attached is a chart showing which cities in the United States received grants from the
COPS in Schools program. As you can see, we get $1.0 million of the $1.5 million
allocated to California.

TO: Jack Hardisty, Development Services Director SEP 2 2003
FROM'..~,'"'"~Stanley C. Grady, Planning Director ..:
SUBJECT: Proposed SJVAPCD Indirect Source Review Fee
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District held meetings with Planning
Directors this week to discuss their program to develop an indirect source review fee. I met with
them on Wednesday, August 27th, along with Ted James and the acting Director from Wasco.
The District is on a two year time frame to develop and adopt an indirect source fee
program. They plan to conduct public scoping meetings in October 2003, workshops in
December 2003 and February and May 2004, and begin program development and
environmental process in mid 2004.
As planned, industrial, commercial, and residential development will be required to pay a
fee based on new trips generated by the project. Because this was a pre-scoping meeting no
real details were available regarding fee amount or structure of the program. However, there
was a handout that outlined three options for implementing the program which had either the
District or cities and counties conducting reviews and assessing fees. It isn't clear if the District
will develop the program as a CEQA mitigation fee to reduce project emissions or a mitigation
fee using Section 66000 of the Government Code to develop a funding mechanism to support
emissions reduction efforts already ongoing within the air basin.
Although presented as necessary to achieve emissions reductions stipulated in their
State Implementation Plan, District staff couldn't conclusively state that with this new program
the District will reach attainment or that it will have a significant impact on emissions reduction.
One aspect I found troubling was the idea of allowing credits for what I termed soft
mitigation, items such as bigger trees, bus stops, and street trees. These items and others
represent good urban design but do not reduce emissions. They may encourage walking or use
of buses but not for the category of trips that need to be eliminated to have quantifiable
emissions reductions. I suggested that the structure of the program focus on hard mitigation,
the kind that result in measurable emission reduction such as removing gross polluters,
retrofitting diesel engines, fleet conversion to Iow emission vehicles or other similar efforts. If
they are going to go through the process to develop a fee program the end result should be
improved air quality not just improved street appearance and access to transit. These urban
design, land use and development elements can be implemented by cities and counties without
a new fee using existing authority contained in the California Government Code.
We are on the Districts email and mailing list to be notified of upcoming meetings and to
receive drafts of documents as they are prepared. I will keep you informed as information
becomes available.

Members of General Resolutions Committee
FROM: Jo~ Russo, Presidem and City Attorney, Oakland ~ '
C~is McKe~ie, Executive Director
DATE: August 26, 2003
SUB,CT: Supplemental Info~ation on New Petitioned Resolution for 2003 A~ual
Conference on Initiative Ballot Meas~e
PLEASE DUPLICATE AND DISTRIBUTE TO ALL OFFICIALS ATTENDING
THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
Purpose: On July 30, 2003 the League sent to you the meeting notice and resolution
packet for the 2003 Annual Conference. That packet contained two resolutions that will
be considered by the General Resolutions Committee (meets September 9) and the
General Assembly of the League (meets September 10). The purpose of this
supplemental packet of information is to alert you to a petitioned r6solution that the
Board of Directors plans to submit for consideration in the League's resolution policy
process.
Background: For the last three years the League has been evaluating the feasibility of
sponsoring a statewide ballot measure to help insulate city revenues from state raids.
Until recently League policy makers had questions about the viability of such a campaign
with the voters..-Recent political developments, however, hav. e_underscored_ the level of
public dissatisfaction of state government and their preference for local government and
services. Current polling suggests cities have a historic opportunity to propose a measure
that will curtail the power of the state to take local revenues to balance the state budget.
Aware of this opportunity, at its July 2003 meeting the League Board of Directors voted
unanimously to sponsor such an initiative. Given the upcoming Annual Conference, the
Board also voted to submit the proposal to the General Assembly of the League so the
will of the membership can be expressed by cities directly..
Proposed Petitioned Resolution: The proposed petitioned resolution is attached. It
recites the history of state raids on local revenues of the last 12 years and ratifies the
Board's action in July to sponsor a statewide ballot initiative that empowers the voters to
limit the ability of state government to confiscate local tax funds to fund state
government.
Status of the Initiative Campaign: Using its nonpublic resources, the League has
retained attorneys and political consultants to draft the initiative and to plan the
campaign. Efforts are underway to build a coalition of participating organizations, and
the first, the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), joined us recently.
Over the next month, additional polling will be done to test various alternative
approaches, but each is expected to incorporate some kind of voter approval before the
state can take local funds to finance state projects or programs. This approach yielded the
highest level of public support during our poll earlier this year -- 76%. The actual
language of the initiative is being drafted and refined at this time.
Once it is approved, it will be filed with the Attorney General for title and summary in
~September;witl~-signature-gathering-tentativelyscheduled to begin in Ni~vembe~r 6f thi'~
year if things proceed as planned.
Campaign Funding: Ballot measure campaigns must be funded from non-public
sources. The League has saved enough non-public funds to help pay for part of the cost
of the campaign, but the rest will have to be raised with the help of our coalition partners
and city officials on their personal time. City officials or other donors may contribute to
the cause through the League's new ballot measure PAC, called CITIPAC (see
http://www.citipac.org/). Some city officials and employees are making similar
contributions by payroll deduction to the Save Our Services (SOS) fund
(http://www.bettercities.org/sos fund program.htm). Money raised for both funds will
be devoted to the ballot measure. Additional information on these options will be
provided at the conference.
Process:
The Board of Directors will review the proposed resolution on Sunday, September 7.
Members of the Board who are registered voting delegates may sign the petition, but
Board members will then fan out to secure additional signatures from city delegates until
the required number of forty-eight (ten percent of the designated voting delegates
registered with the Credentials Co_mmi___~e_e)_ are attained.
On Tuesday, September 9, at 10:15 a.m. the General Resolutions Committee will review
the petitioned resolution and other resolutions. The final stop for the resolution will
occur when the registered voting delegates of the League General Assembly consider it
for final action during the Annual Business Meeting on Wednesday morning, September
10. If approved, the action will reflect the depth of member commitment.
Questions? City officials with questions are invited to contact Chris McKenzie,
Executive Director, at (916)658-8275 or mckenzie~cacities.org

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE TO
REQUIRE VOTER APPROVAL BEFORE STATE GOVERNMENT MAY
CONFISCATE LOCAL TAX FUNDS~
Source: Board of Directors
Recommendation of General Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, the state currently seizes $824 million of city property tax funds
(ERAF), seriously reducing resources available for local public safety and other services
and increasing pressure on cities to raise fees on new housing developments, increasing
the cost of housing; and
WHEREAS, in adopting the FY 2003-04 state budget the Legislature and
Governor confiscated local vehicle license fee backfill and redevelopment property tax
' ufffff'd~-th-fif ~d~-d-to-fi-~a~n~ce-critical-city-servi-ces-such-as~public-safetyr-hOUsing~and-
economic development; and
WHEREAS, the FY 2003-04 budget also relies on a deficit bond financing
program opposed by the League that is predicated on a local property and sales tax swap
that leaves cities vulnerable to future losses if the state's economic condition fails to
improve; and
WHEREAS, the adopted budget assumes the state will continue to face an
ongoing structural budget deficit of at least $8 billion, putting local government financial
resources at risk in future years; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly clear that state leaders will continue to use local tax
funds to balance the state budget unless the voters limit the power of the legislature and
governor to do so; and
WHEREAS, research conducted by the League in recent years indicates that an
initiative that requires voter approval before the state government can confiscate local tax
funds would likely be supported by an overwhelming number of voters; and
WHEREAS, the voters of California are ~he best judges-of whether funds
traditionally used to finance valuable community services should be diverted,
confiscated, shifted or otherwise taken by the legislature to finance an ever expanding
state government; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the League of California Cities by
unanimous roll call vote at its July 2003 meeting voted to sponsor a statewide ballot
initiative to empower the voters to limit the ability of state government to confiscate local
tax funds to fund state government; and
~ This draft is being submitted to the Board of Directors of the League for consideration and action on
Sunday, September 7. It may be amended by the Board before being circulated for signatures.
WHEREAS, the League Board of Directors has established a political action
committee, known as CITIPAC, to raise private funds to finance part of the cost of such
statewide initiative campaign; and
WHEREAS, the Board has requested that city officials across the state participate
in this private fundraising to finance such a ballot measure campaign; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in Sacramento, September 10, 2003, that the action of
the Board of Directors to sponsor such an initiative be ratified; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Board invite the city councils of the member cities of the
League to adopt similar resolutions, supporting such an initiative and encouraging city
officials and others to dedicate their personal time to the campaign to secure voter
approval of the initiative; and be it further
RESOLYED, that all city officials are called upon to unite and lend their
valuable personal time and financial support to this campaign to provide the voters of
California the power to reestablish limitations on the power of the legislature and
governor to seize local tax funds that finance vital local services.

RE: Call your Assembly Members and Senators TODAY! Additional RDA
Cut Rumored
It is rumored that a bill might be "gutted and amended" to expand the amount of the ERAF
shift from Redevelopment Agencies to fund some additional public safety progran~..s that
the Assembly included in their version of the budget, but which were not included in the
budget passed by the Senate. This action could take place at any moment so calls are
urgently recommended. Let your legislators know:
WE OPPOSE ANY ADDITIONAL CUTS TO RDAs!
As you may be aware, in coming to a final agreement on the 2003-2004 budget, the
Assembly committed to restore a series of public safety programs that would cost the state
a.total of $40.1 million in additional expenditures (beyond the Senate version of the
budget). These programs include training reimbursements for the Standards for Training
and Corrections (STC) program, funding for the Rural and Small County Local Assistance
program for Sheriffs, and restoration of the Multi-Jurisdictional Methamphetarnine
Enforcement Team (CAL-MET). The Senate has refused to support these programs
without identifying funding for them. AS a result, the Senate is looking to "gut and amend"
a measure that would expand the RDA cuts to cover the cost of some or all of these
programs.
While the League of California Cities is supportive of restoring these programs, we feel the,
state should use its own money, not local money, to fund them.
Call and tell your Senators and Assembly members that any additional cuts to,
redevelopment revenues are unacceptable. The reduced cut of $135 million to

redevelopment (v. the $250 cut in the SenaZe-passed version offlae budget) was part of the
Assembly budget deal. The Assembly needs ~o stand by the deal that they made.
For questions, con~act your local Regional Representative, or Jean Korinke,

SUGGRSTRD KRy MRSSAGRS
The state should finance these important county public safety programs and not use
local mx funds from one local government to finance s~ate grants to other local
govemmen~s.
· Deeper cuts to RDA funding will put public safety programs in some cities at potential
risk if their city general fund has to "baclcfil1" their RDA shift, as some will have to do
even at the $135 million cut level.
· The budget deal should be honored.

SUBJECT: Annexation Status Report
Attached is a copy of the Annexation Status Report as of September 2003. Nineteen (19) annexations are
currently in progress, meaning that the Council has formally approved them and they will be considered by
LAFCo in the coming months.
Requests for annexations, especially on the west side of town, continue to be brisk. Of those in progress, the
total area is approximately 1836 acres.
In addition to uninhabited annexations, we have received a request for information about annexation from an
inhabited residential area west of Allen Road near Palm Avenue in Ward 4. The neighborhood is called
Froelich Palms. Some of them were very vocal regarding the multi-family project directly to the north that was
approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council about a year ago that is now under construction.
Based upon requests from some individuals in the neighborhood, we sent a letter explaining some of the
advantages of annexation along with an interest card that they could return to us. We sent 86 letters to residents
this summer. We received 51 cards back. Twenty-six were interested in having an informational meeting.
Nine others wanted more information either by phone or in writing. Six stated they were not interested.
Based upon the response, we are planning to have an informational meeting sometime in October. We will be
working with the neighbors to fred a suitable location. All this is in conformance with the annexation policy
that was adopted by the Council a year or two ago. More information will be provided to the Council as we
progress.

September 3, 2003
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ~
SUBJECT: UPDATE: STOP SIGNS AND CROSSWALK AT HOMELESS CENTER
Council Referral #533
COUNCILMEMBER BENHAM MADE AN EMPHATIC REQUEST THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT FIND A WAY TO FACILITATE GOLDEN EMPIRE TRANSIT DISTRICT'S
REQUEST FOR A CROSSWALK AND TWO STOP SIGNS AT THE BAKERSFIELD HOMELESS
CENTER.
The Public Works Director and the Traffic Engineer met with Mr. Chester Moland of
Golden Empire Transit to discuss bus routing and proposed improvements on East
Truxtun Avenue, near the Bakersfield Homeless Shelter. Mr. Moland agreed in principal
to the implementing of left turn lane improvements on East Truxtun to facilitate the bus
turn off of Washington Street and the installation of a crosswalk, signs, markings and
future lighted crosswalk experimental devices. He will take the proposal to his Board of
Directors for formal approval in the next few weeks and advise the City staff of the
outcome.
Background: The City of Bakersfield had requested Golden Empire Transit (GET) to
consider modifying their bus route to include a stop at the Bakersfield Homeless Shelter
on East Truxtun Avenue at Williams Street. GET responded by requesting additional
stop sign controls and a crosswalk in order to operate their buses on the new route. As
noted in the July 18, 2003 memo, the Traffic Engineer determined that the GET buses
could safely and efficiently use the intersections without unwarranted traffic controls.
The Traffic Engineer proposed turn lane improvements, in lieu of additional stop signs
on East Truxtun, which would benefit the bus operation. A crosswalk with warning signs
at Williams Street was also proposed along with future installation of experimental
lighted crosswalk lighting devices.

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for your letter concerning greenwaste collection and street drainage. It is good
to know that you are a community-minded Boy Scout. Your observation about spilled
mosquito prevention is noteworthy. In general, greenwaste collection crews do not leave
material on the street. However, due to wind, overloading by the resident, or sticky wet
grass that doesn't clear out of the container, there is occasional spillage. Of course, there
is also a great deal of yard.debris regularly blown into the street by gardeners with leaf
blowers. And, depending on the season, fallen leafs blow into the street as well. The
result of all this is, as you observed, is potential blockage of water drainage along the curbs
and storm drains.
The City of Bakersfield therefore operates two cleaning programs. These are regular street
cleaning (good for neighborhood cleanliness as well as good drainage) and fall leaf pickup.
In case it is helpful for your merit badge project, the cost of these programs is about $2
million per year. The City operates a fleet of 12 street sweepers on a regular basis. The
fall leaf collection program includes about four trucks and a large skip loader, running from
October through December each year. If a problem occurs in a particular location and
does not seem to be resolved by these services, please let me know. I can be reached at
(661) 236-3114. It is always good to have input to help improve our services.
Sincerely, / /
Solid Waste Manager

INFORMAL REFERRAL FROM COUNCILMEMBER CARSON
Staff has completed the surveying necessary to complete plans for sewer improvements
on P Street north of Brundage Lane. It appears the homes that do not currently have
sewer service can receive this service through a relatively short gravity line. Staff will
complete the necessary work for this design in the next two weeks at which time we can
determine the best course of action to construct the facilities.

SUBJECT: MING & ASHE CURB REPAIRS
Council Referral #571
Councilmember Hanson requested staff check on the completion of repairs to the
curb and sidewalk at the southwest corner of Ming and Ashe.
The CIP includes a project for widening the intersection of Ming Avenue and Ashe
Road. To facilitate that project and as part of their franchise obligations, Pacific Gas &
Electric (PG&E) relocated their facilities at the southwest corner of the intersection.
PG&E replaced the sidewalk, curb and gutter at that corner with temporary asphalt
concrete with the plan that it would be replaced with new Portland cement concrete by
the City's construction of the intersection widening. After the construction documents
are complete and an estimate for the City's work is prepared, staff will request that City
Council appropriate Transportation Development Funds for the construction of this
project.
City Street Division staff will clean up this temporary sidewalk and place a leveling
course on it to provide a smoother surface.

Council Referral #559
Councilmember Maggard requested staff prepare a memo before September 10th
addressing the allocations of the TIF Program and outline how we can receive input
from Community Developers.
Staff has held several meetings with the representatives of the Building Industry
Association (BIA) and has done considerable evaluation of their proposals. At the
Council Meeting of July 30, 2003, a presentation of project allocations was made. The
BIA was represented at that Council Meeting as well as the County Board of
Supervisors Meeting of August 26, 2003. On Monday, September 8, 2003, at the Urban
Development Committee public input will be taken on this matter and another hearing
will be held on Wednesday, September 10, 2003, at the City Council Meeting. At each
of these hearings, more Developer input and evaluation will be possible. Finally, at the
Joint City/County Session on Monday, September 15, 2003, there will be further
opportunity for input.

Councilmember Salvaggio requested staff provide an update to Paul Graham's previous
memo regarding the alley clearance project.
In a May memo Mr. Graham described the alley clearance project in cooperation with
Solid Waste Division for clearance pruning of alleys. The purpose of the pruning is to
address citizen needs but also make these alleys clearly accessible for our city Solid
Waste and Fire Department trucks. Due to budget restraints, the project is being
conducted only on Wednesdays rather than the original plan of three (3) days a week.
The priority areas was based on the number of alleys in that area and the volume of
service requests for that area so we could service large sections at once.
The central part of the city was the beginning point which covered Oak and Chester
Avenues from 17th street to 24th street. We are now working northward in the area of
Westchester and then Alta Vista/Panarama. The crews will then head to the southern
portion of the city.

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT BERKSHIRE AND MONITOR
Council Referral ~560
ICouncilmember Salvaggio referred a letter from Gary Rice, Greenfield Union
School District, requesting staff look at the traffic signal budget, as they feel there is
a greater need for a signal at Berkshire and Monitor as opposed to one at Monitor
and Panama Lane.
In August 2001 the intersection of Berkshire and Monitor, adjacent to Ollivier Middle
School, was made a 4-way stop intersection. Two years have passed since the
installation of the stop sign control; and two new schools have now opened. With the
associated increase in development and traffic volumes, a new traffic study of the
intersection is justified.
Traffic Engineering staff will perform an updated signal warrant study at Berkshire and
Monitor for comparative ranking with the intersection of Panama Lane and Monitor. In
May of 1999, the intersection of Panama Lane and Monitor met warrants for a traffic
signal. The analysis, and the Traffic Engineer's recommendation, should be available in
three weeks.
