MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
OF THE
· -i WATER BOARD - CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Held Wednesday, May 15, 1996, Water Resources Conference Room, 1000 Buena Vista Road,
Bakersfield, CA 93311.
1. The meeting was called to order by Boardmember Salvaggio at 4:30pm.
2. Present: Mark Salvaggio, Chair
Patricia M. Smith
Randy Rowles, Vice-Chair, seated at 4:50pm
3. Boardmember Smith made a motion to approve the minutes of the Regular Water Board
Meeting held March 13, 1996. Motion carried.
4. There were no Public Statements.
5. Correspondence
5A. A letter was received from the Water Association of Kern County (WAKC) requesting
financial support for a local public water awareness program for 1996. This years' media
Ii.:! campaign will focus on major legislative and regulatory events, with special attention on
'~ developments in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta story. For other events on water
awareness, Mr. Core introduced Paula Allamprese, representing the Kern County Water
Agency & WAKC to address the Board regarding the 3ra annual "Fun Run/Walk for Water"
event. Ms. Allamprese extended an invitation to the Board and the public to participate in
this event: It will take place Saturday, May 18, 1996, from 9:00am to 12:00pm. A motion
was made by Boardmember Smith recommending a donation of $750 to support the 1996
campaign. Motion carried.
6. Deferred Business
6A. For information, Mr. Bogart presented the Kern River operations update to the Board.
There have been fluctuations in the water supply forecasts this year, that have ranged from
80% to 130% of normal and is currently predicted at 121%. This number should hold for
the season. This month of May has become an exceptionally high month for runoff due to
warmer than normal temperatures. This has forced Isabella Reservoir to the highest
recorded levels for this time of year. Due to these extraordinary events, there will be water
in the Kern River channel in Bakersfield throughout the summer and early fall. Staff expects
heavy use of the City's "2800 Acres" by others this year. No action required or taken by the
Board.
6B. California Water Service Company (CWS) has requested an increase in the rate of
compensation under City Agreement #92-250 (92-10 W.B.). The requested increase is to
offset CWS costs for implementing full disinfection of the City's Ashe Water system. These
costs were not envisioned in the current agreement and since the contract was signed,
regulatory concerns have required the City to chlorinate its water supply. CWS has provided
City staff with documentation on the increased costs. The increased CWS costs revolve
around the labor and materials used to chlorinate the total water supply. Staffhas analyzed
the documented costs and recommends that additional compensation is justified and allowed
under the existing agreement. The staff recommendation is to allow an additional
compensation of 1.3%, or 9¢ per month per service connection. This increase will equate
to approximately $30,000 over the existing contract amount. Boardmember Salvaggio made
a motion to grant this additional compensation. Motion carried.
7. New Business
7A. The City has a letter agreement with North of the River Sanitary District (NORSD)
regarding agricultural water service to NORSD properties within the Kern River Canal &
Irrigation Company (KRC&I), a subsidiary of the City of Bakersfield. NORSD is landowner
and responsible for payment for agricultural water service within this subsidiary. Irrigation
water was delivered to a previous tenant farmer, De La Rosa Farms, who had paid a deposit,
in accordance with established City policy for water service. De La Rosa Farms had kept
its account, in prior years, paid in full and remained without outstanding debt to the City.
During the middle of the irrigation season, De La Rosa Farms filed bankruptcy. NORSD
has not been paid land rent and the City is owed for water deliveries. In order to continue
to receive water service for the 1996 season, NORSD has chosen to pay in full the amounts
owed to the City for the 1995 balance of $17,824.73. Per terms of a letter agreement
between NORSD and City, the City Attorney's office will endeavor to recover funds from
De La Rosa Farms, Inc. for water service and if successful, refund this amount to NORSD.
NORSD has a new tenant farmer who has agreed to pay a $4,000 deposit towards the 1996
irrigation deliveries and maintain a positive cash balance with the City throughout the year.
[~ ~ Staff requests Board authorization to re-pay NORSD if and when the delinquent monies are
,...-: received from De La Rosa Farms. Motion by Boardmember Smith to authorize City refund
~ - to North of the River Sanitary District upon receipt of delinquent funds from De La Rosa
Farms, Inc. Motion carried.
7B. Mr. Bogart presented to the Board the proposed Pioneer Project agreement with Kern
County Water Agency (KCWA) on recharge and banking operations adjoining City's 2800
Acres. A brief background of the project was given. The State of California originally
planned to develop a nearby area of 20,000 acres, called the Kern Water Bank (KWB) into
a groundwater banking project, but due to environmental problems, the project stalled.
KCWA has investigated operating both the KWB and a local water banking program on
nearby properties known as the Pioneer Project. Due to litigation against the State, the
KWB transaction has been put on hold. KCWA has proceeded to develop the Pioneer
Project and has started the CEQA process using a Negative Declaration, but this has not
addressed the concerns the City has pertaining to this banking project. City is concerned
with the ultimate use of this water stored, who are the beneficiaries of this project and what
impacts on the City's "2800 Acres" will result from the proposed Pioneer Project. City staff
has been meeting with KCWA and the Pioneer Project participants to negotiate an
agreement. At this time, the Pioneer Project participants have indicated the willingness to
protect the "2800 Acres" and City will allow City facilities to be used to convey their water
to the Pioneer Project. The agreement should be finalized for recommendation by the July
1996 Water Board meeting. No action required or taken by the Board.
i. ~ 7C. Mr. Bogart introduced Maurice Randall, the Water Resources Department Business
i.: Manager, to present a plan to establish cash reserve accounts for the Agricultural Water
2
Fund and the Domestic Water Funds. ~ne reserves would be set aside for each of the
water funds to be available in order to deal with any contingencies/emergencies' that may
arise. Staff recommends the "Agricultural Water Revenue Stabilization & Contingency
Reserve' be established and set at $500,000. The Agricultural Water reserve would be
funded from revenues derived from irrigation water sales and banking fees collected from
the '2800 Acxes'. The reserve would be funded over two fiscal years. The Domestic Water
Fund "Facilities Replacement Reserves" is recommended to be set at $1,200,000, with
revenues from domestic water sales used. Projected funding of the Domestic Water reserves
will occur over a five year period. Boardmember Salvaggio made a motion to approve the
establishment of reserve accounts for the Agricultural and Domestic Water Funds and
recommend incorporating into the fiscal year 1996-1997 budgets. Motion carried.
7D. Mr. Bogart presented the Agricultural Water Enterprise 1996 Water Price and Sand Sale
Schedule for Board review and action. Staff proposes no rate increases this year due to the
quantity of available water and a favorable demand for irrigation and banking water.
Boardmember Salvaggio made a motion to recommend City Manager sign the Executive
Order setting the Agricultural Water rates for 1996. Motion carried.
Mr. Pat Hauptman, Water Resources Superintendent presented the Domestic Water service
area (Ashe Water) schedule of rates and service charges for 1996-1997 fiscal year to the
Board for review and recommendation. Staff is recommending a modest rate increase of
4.5%, or about 86e to 90¢ per month on the average residential water service connection.
This increase is necessary in order to cover the raise allowed by contract to the operations
and maintenance contractor, California Water Service Company and also to finance the
"Facilities Replacement Reserve.~ The proposed rate increase would become effective
October 1, 1996. After some discussion a motion was made by Boardmember Salvaggio to
recommend City Manager sign the Executive Order setting the Domestic Water schedule of
rates and service charges for 1996-1997. Motion carried.
7F. Mr. Core updated the Board on the Invitation for Proposals sent to three qualified retail
domestic water purveyors to provide water service to a proposed development in the
northeast Bakersfield area. Two proposals were received, one from California Water Service
Company and the other from Olcese Water District. Staff has been evaluating these two
proposals to make a financial comparison and determine which one could provide the most
reliable system and service for the best price to the developer and future homeowners. The
water purveyor must also have the ability to integrate this water supply system into the
overall Northeast Bakersfield Water Supply Project plan. This item was discussed at some
length with comments from Mr. George Nickel, a director of Olcese Water District. Staff
indicated a recommendation would be made to the Board by the next meeting. No action
required or taken by the Board.
7G. A letter was received from Porter-Robertson Engineering & Surveying requesting a water
supply to property near Seventh Standard Road and Snow Road for a proposed future
development project. The property is owned by Etcheverry Farms in an unincorporated
area, and receives agricultural water for the present farming operations via the Kern River
Canal & Irrigating Company, which is owned and operated by the City of Bakersfield. The
landowners will be applying for a general plan amendment to the County under the "2010
i Plan" and need a balanced water supply for the project. If the landowners wish to proceed
l':.'~i with the plan amendment, and request the City provide a water supply, they must file a
3
covenant against the property that requires annexation to the City of Bakersfield. The
covenant requires annexation of the land as soon as it becomes contiguous to the City limits
in order to receive the City water supply. The landowners have said they are not opposed
to annexation and will initiate the annexation proceedings. At this time, staff is asking the
Board's permission to allow the covenant to be filed. After some discussion a motion was
made by Boardmember Smith to proceed with the recommendation to file a covenant for
annexation. Motion carried.
8. Closed Session
Boardmember Salvaggio adjourned the meeting to Closed Session at 5:25pm. Boardmember
Rowles attended the closed session for discussion of the first case and was absent, due to a
conflict of interest, during the closed session for the second case.
Closed session reconvened at 5:45pm. Boardmember Rowles returned to the meeting.
Closed session action. Update from staff on two items, no action taken.
9. A motion to adjourn was made by Boardmember Rowles at 5:45pm. Motion carried.

Dear Member:
I am writing this letter to clear up a possible misunderstanding and to urge your support of our 1996
Water Awareness Campaign. It has been reported to us that some of our members were confused by the
first solicitation letter mailed on April 10th that announced our upcoming campaign. Another letter
announcing the Walk for Water was also mailed during the same week.
While the timing was unfortunate, we want everyone to know these are both very worthwhile but
separate projects intended to present the water story to the public. The Walk for Water was held in May at
Beach Park, and attended about 500 people.
The advertising campaign is just beginning. We have recently signed contracts with Time-Warner
Cable and Channel 29 to run our public service announcements through September. A total of 1000 - 30
second spots will run during this three month period. The spots are designed to focus attention on the
need to improve the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay/Delta through the Cai/Fed process with the final spot
indicating that a water bond measure may appear on the November general election ballot. With SB900
approved by the legislature this past week, it is very important that the public is aware of the importance
of this issue for all water users.
Therefore, we would like to again request your support for this important activity. Television is the
most reliable medium we can use, but it is also the most expensive. To do an effective job, we need good
saturation. Your contribution will help expand the announcements to the other channels to assure us of
the desired results. Our original request was for $750. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.
We appreciate your support of the Water Association in the past and hope you will see the importance
of the 1996 campaign effort.
Sincerely,
Dana Munn

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD WATER BOARD
SUBJECT: RESCISSION OF COVENANT OFFER FOR MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY TO
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT NEAR 7TM STANDARD ROAD & SNOW ROAD.
Background:
City Water Resources staff received on May 1, 1996 a letter request from Porter-Robertson
Engineering who were representing the landowners on property located in Section 1 of T29S/R26E
and in Section 6 of T29S/R27E, to provide a water supply for some future urban development on
the subject property. The land lies between 7t~ Standard Road on the north, Calloway Road on the
east, Snow Road on the south and an extension of Allen Road on the west. All of the properties
are in the unincorporated areas of the county. This property is zoned agricultural and is currently
being farmed under provisions of the Williamson Act. The land in Section 6 between Calloway
Road and an extension of Jewetta Avenue is within the agricultural water service area of the City
owned "Kern River Canal & Irrigating Co." and receive irrigation water through the City.
The landowner representatives discussed the future municipal water supply request with Water
Resources staff and staff indicated that water supplies could be made available to the properties
upon filing and recording of covenants binding the properties to annex to the City of Bakersfield
before receiving such water supplies. Also, if the properties are contiguous to the City limits, they
are required to annex immediately. The procedure to offer the covenant would require City Water
Board approval. The item was considered at the May 15t~, 1996 City Water Board meeting and the
approval for the covenant was granted by the Board.
A General Plan Amendment was being filed on the properties, through the County of Kern, when
portions of the properties were determined to be contiguous to current City limit boundaries.
According to the requirements of the covenant, the landowners are required to annex to receive a
municipal water supply from the City. The City Manager notified the landowner representative via
letter of June 20, 1996 of the annexation requirement and allowed a two week period in order for
compliance. Information from the City Planning Department indicates that the annexation
application was not received in accordance with the City Manager's letter.
Recommended Water Board Action:
Since application for annexation was not filed, staff recommends rescinding offer of municipal water
supply for thc properties in Section 1 of T29S/R26E and Section 6 of T29S/R27E and reject thc
acceptance of covenants relating to City municipal water supplies for these lands.

Re: Coberly/Etcheverry EIR
Water Supply for Section I 29/26
and Section 6 29/27
Dear Mr. Core:
We have been in consultation with North Kern Water Storage District (NKWSD) on the above
referenced project. The NKWSD has agreed to have California Water Service contract with their
District for a balanced water supply for all project lands north of Seventh Standard Road. NKWSD
does not have a water supply project in place, for that portion of the project south of Seventh
Standard Road, as required by the Kern County Planning Department and their Board of Directors
for a balanced water supply.
It was determined during a meeting with the property owners, project representatives and NKWSD
Committee, that we request the City of Bakersfield to provide such a water supply. The landowners
have tentatively agreed that they will support annexation of these lands into the City upon conversion
from the existing agricultural to urban uses and will sign a recordable covenant to this extent in order
to guarantee a water supply.
We hereby request this consideration for a water supply be presented at the next Water Board
Meeting. Enclosed please find a copy of the Conceptual Master Plan.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this important and timely matter. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Harold W. Robertson

Dear Mr. Bogart:
Our recent proposal submitted to the City of Bakersfield,
to provide domestic water service to Section 17 and 20 in
northeast Bakersfield, and within the city limits of
Bakersfield, will enhance the need for California Water
Service to secure a permanent water supply for this area.
Due to the City's commitment in providing surface water to
ensure a balanced water supply, we are hereby requesting
the City of Bakersfield and California Water enter into an
agreement that would supply California Water with that
reliable water source.
Thank you for your consideration.
If you should have any questions please contact me.
