Home My WebLink About02/04/05 B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM February 4, 2005 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~7-L~ ~ SUBJECT: General Information 1. A 30' section of a levee failed within the City's "2800 Acres" facility in the early hours of Monday morning. The levee controlled water within basins and also supported a portion of the bike path. The escaping water was diverted back into the Kern River channel and posed no threat to property. The breach was the result of burrowing rodent activity. The bike path was closed for the safety of the public and to allow for repairs. The breach was closed by Monday afternoon, the levee was restored to grade on Tuesday, and additional earthwork to strengthen the levee was performed on Wednesday. Permanent paving of the bike path was completed and the path re-opened on Friday. Hats off to the crews in Water Resources for the rapid response, for safely diverting and maintaining the water flows and restoring the levee and to Public Works for re-paving the bike path. 2. An article in the local paper today, Friday, February 4th, indicated that AYSO soccer was losing its lease at Cai State Bakersfield. We are not a party to those discussions, but it has been well known that eventually the lease cancellation would occur. In anticipation, we acquired the 40-acre soccer site just over the Stockdale Highway bridge. We own it, but it is not yet funded for development. We also own 250 acres at Taft Highway between Ashe Road and Gosford. For many years, it was encumbered under a very old contract for yeast disposal. That recently was freed up, and staff has been working on a concept plan to make it a large soccer/baseball complex, perhaps even a three par golf course, to meet the long term needs of southwest Bakersfield. We will contact AYSO to chat with them about that concept. We do not presently have funding to develop either of these sites. Monies would have to come from donations, leases, grants or related. The 40 acre site is, of course, much closer to being ready than the larger one. 3. Two memos are enclosed from Donna Kunz regarding requests for CDBG funding for FY 2005/06. The first includes the proposed City projects, as submitted by Fire, EDCD, Public Works, and Police. There were eleven projects submitted, for a total request of approximately $6.2 million. The second is a summary report on the twelve applications that were received from non-profit and public entities, totaling over $3.6 million. We expect to have $1.7 million in available funds, not dedicated t° on-going costs. All the requests will be referred to the Budget and Finance Committee for consideration. Honorable Mayor and City Council February 4, 2005 Page 2 Several weeks ago, we mentioned that HUD might lose a substantial portion of its community branch funding in the 2006 budget. A memo is enclosed with further information on that issue. The CDBG program could be transferred to the Commerce Department and may be cut as much as 50%. Our proposed entitlement for FY 2005/06 is $3.7 million, which could be substantially reduced if the President's proposal to consolidate prog~rams is approved. As mentioned previously, we will keep close watch on this issue as it progresses and will take appropriate action to appeal to our legislators, if necessary. 4. A status report from EDCD on the use of the remaining Section 108 funds for southeast Bakersfield is enclosed. 5. A report on crime statistics for 2004 is enclosed from Chief Rector. He has also included information on the steps being taken by the Police Department to combat specific crimes. 6. Public Works is to receive a $25,000 grant to fund a specially modified refuse truck that will collect both refuse and greenwaste. Per the enclosed memo, staff will present a plan for a six month pilot program for the test vehicle next month. 7. Congratulations to Lt. Brad Wahl who has received an award from the Anti- Defamation League for his work related the reduction of hate crimes. 8. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows: Councilmember Benham · List of current CIP projects, with designations for those that will be delayed; Councilmember Hanson · Report on the workshop conducted for the Planning Commission regarding alignment of Council and Commission goals.

Kunz, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Impacts of Possible Future Loss of CDBG Funding Staff was informed recently of a proposal by the Bush administration to drastically shrink the Department of Housing and Urban Development's $8 billion community branch. According to an article published in the Washington Post, January 14, 2005, President Bush's proposal for the upcoming 2006 budget would "eliminate or consolidate what he sees as duplicative or ineffective programs". Under this plan, the CDBG program which provides multipurpose development and entitlement grants to state and local governments would be sent to the Commerce Department and could be cut as much as 50 percent. As you know, the City of Bakersfield has become dependent on HUD's entitlements, especially CDBG, to fund various projects and programs in eligible areas of the City. This proposal could have a tremendous impact on our ability to fund and debt service Capital Projects and to maintain existing departmental programs. Our proposed entitlement for FY 2005-06 is expected to be $3.7 million. If this proposal is approved it could potentially reduce our entitlement to $1.85m and limit our ability to serve those areas in our community who have benefited from Community Development block Grant funds over the past 30 years. Below is a list of projects and programs currently funded with CDBG. > Economic and Community Development staff and administration = $796k .~ Annual Section 108 - long term debt obligations - annua~ average $385k > Graffiti Removal- $100k > Police and Fire protection services - current commitment = $479k > Capital Improvement Projects- $1.9m > Ability to apply and receive Section 108 funds - proposed Fire Station #5 > Acquisition & Demolition for redevelopment projects underway - $100k Previously, in addressing the State budget situation, ED/CD has been able to shift a portion of other department General Fund operations to CDBG (Police & Fire). If the CDBG entitlement were reduced, it would also impact the General fund.

January 31, 2005 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: W.R. Rector, Chief of Police Subject: Year End - 2004 Crime Stats I have attached a Part One Crime Statistics Report that reflects year to date statistics for 2004. The Police Department and community are still experiencing increases in rape, robbery, aggravated assault and auto theft. The increases can be attributed to a variety of reasons: growth of City population, staffing shortages, methamphetamine abuse, and career criminals committing crime. It is interesting to note crime statistics from 1994 compare closely to those in 2004; even with a significant increase in the City's population over the last ten years. · Staffing - With the City budget becoming more stable, staffing has began to improve and we hope to be close to full compliment by June of 2005. · Career Criminal Crime- We are in the discussion stage of refocusing the Kern Narcotics Enforcement Team (KNET) to impact parolees committing crimes. · Auto Theft- Staff is looking at creative ways to impact auto theft including creating a closer relationship with the Sheriff's Department Auto theft Unit and agencies in the northern portion of Kern County; since most of the suspects arrested are from those areas. · Rape - The increase in rape offenses is directly related to unlawful sexual intercourse crimes, (i.e. consensual sex between a minor and adult.) Of the 54 rape investigations, 44 are attributed to unlawful sexual intercourse violations. Bakersfield Magazine recently published an article for us to help educate parents and youth about this issue. Additionally, we will continue to use the media and work with the Alliance Against Family Violence to educate teens/parents in an attempt to prevent these types of situations from occurring. · Aggravated Assault - The rise is related to an increase in domestic violence type assaults. Staff is working closely with the Alliance Against Family Violence and the Domestic Violence Advisory Council (DVAC), to raise awareness and seek to prevent these types of domestic violence from occurring. We continUe to take a strong enforcement stand when investigating domestic violence cases. In the near future staff will focus on a more collaborative response to domestic violence calls; working with the probation department's ¥ictimNVitness Unit and the Department of Human Services. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to call.

Dual collection can potentially cut nearly 40% of the residential route mileage, with corresponding reductions in fuel use and air pollution. The grant funds cover the cost of modifying one existing truck and mailing pilot program information to the 2,250 test homes. Staff will present a plan for the six month pilot program in early March.

Brad Wahl Since 1996 Helene and Joseph Sherwood, in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), began recognizing departments and/or individuals for relentless dedication to containing and minimizing the number and severity of hate crimes perpetrated in communities. On February 3, 2005, Bakersfield Police Lieutenant Brad Wahl was one of the select few to receive this prestigious award at the Skirball CultUral Center in Los Angeles, California. The award exemplifies an ongoing commitment, support and contribution toward eliminating hate and prejudice. Acting as the homeland security liaison for the Bakersfield Police Department for the past few years, Lieutenant Brad Wahl has worked diligently to help the police department in its mission to provide a safer community. Lieutenant Wahl has formed relationships and working groups with a variety of local and other agencies in order to provide a more comprehensive law enforcement response to those problems associated with hate motivated criminal behavior.
