MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING-
OF THE
WATER BOARD-CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Held Monday, March 13, 2000, Water Resources Conference Room, I000 Buena Vista Road,
Bakersfield, CA 93311.
,.:
1. The meeting was called to order by Board Chair Salvaggio at 4:34 p.m.
2. Present: Mark Salvaggio, Chair
David Couch, Vice-Chair
Irma Carson (seated at 4:40 p.m.)
3. Board Member Couch made a motion to approve the minutes of the Regular Water Board
meeting held October 13, 1999. Motion carried. ..
4. No public statements.
5. An update on Kern River operations was given by Water Resources Manager Gene Bogart.
The State Snow Surveys issued a forecast of 84% of normal and the day after, a significant
storm event occurred and that should increase the forecast to 90% of normal. If the
remaining seasonal conditions are average it could be 100% of normal. The month of
February recorded 300% above normal.
6. Old Business:
6A. An update on the merger of the Kern River Levee District with the City was presented before
the Board by Mr. Core. The Kem River Levee District has become a victim of the "old"
Proposition 13 in which diminished revenues cannot cover the responsibilities for operating
and maintaining the Levee. During the last few years the City has been providing assistance
in both field and engineering to benefit the operations of the Levee. Our department received
an inquiry from the Levee District asking for a merger into the City of Bakersfield. With the
merger, the City would, in effect, become the Levee District, and take over the full operation.
~ A hearing is scheduled for March 28th before LAFCO on this merger. The resolution for the
application to LAFCO for the merger has already passed by the City Council and once the
hearing process at LAFCO is completed, a hearing before the County Board of Supervisors
will be held. The City will then modify the Municipal Code Ordinance incorporating the
Levee District into the City of Bakersfield. For Board information, no action required.
1
6B. An update on the Kem River Parkway Proposition 204 was brought before the Board by Mr.
Bogart. A few years ago the City met with several other organizations and agreed to apply
for Proposition 204 funds with the idea of acquiring privately owned property in the Kern
~ River Parkway area. Business Manager Maurice Randall stated that the City was successful
and was awarded a $500,000 grant. To date, four privately-owned properties have been
purchased with a fifth now in escrow, this will complete the entire $500,000 grant received
from the state prior to the June 30, 2000 deadline. For Board information, no action
required.
7. New Business
7A. The consulting contract with Stetson Engineers was presented to the Board by Mr. Bogart.
The Finance Department has asked that all old agreements be brought up to date in
conformance with current contract requirements, Stetson Engineers is one of them. The
contract calls for work on an as needed basis and will not exceed $50,000 annually. A motion
to approve was made by Board Member Carson. Motion carried.
7B. Mr. Bogart presented the Dodd Investigations, Inc. agreement to the Board. Several
companies were contacted, but none met the unique conditions required by the City for guard
and patrolling duty, with the exception of Dodd Investigations. The contract is not to
exceed $50,000 per year. A motion to approve was made by Board Member Carson. Motion
carried.
..... 7C. The Agricultural Water Division 2000 Water Price schedule was addressed by Mr. Bogart.
The 2000 water year rates will remain unchanged for miscellaneous water sales and
groundwater that would otherwise be banked by the City. If there was a flood control
operation, the prices may be reduced by 50% to encourage use and stay in competition with
other local surface waters available. A motion for approval was made by Board Member
Salvaggio. Motion carried.
7D Mr. Core gave a brief summary of Mainline Extension Contracts the City has with developers.
Mainline Extension Contracts are payment for installation of water facilities in tracts and
parcels authorized under the City's Municipal Code and similar to what Public Utility districts
are required to do in the State of California. Developers are repaid the entire amount without
interest over a 40-year period for the installation of those facilities. For Board information,
no action required.
7E. Two Mainline Extension Contracts were reassigned. This will not change the obligation the
City has to pay these contracts nor increase the City's cost, it simply changes the name of
~ who receives the refund. For Board information, no action required.
7F. The Resolution authorizing submittal of applications to CALFED for pilot project grants and
designation of representative to sign app!ications was brought before the Board by Mr. Core.
2
CALFED is a group of California and Federal agencies negotiating for operation of the San
Joaquin Sacramento River Delta. Recently a grant program was enacted by CALFED in the
.... amount of $2.5 million dollars, with each project not to exceed $500,000. Our department
~, is applying for three grants, for three separate projects in the Bakersfield area. The three
projects would be 1) acquisition of land for extending storm drain/storm water disposal sites;
2) fund a planned storage tank in the north end of our Riverlakes Ranch system; and
~ 3) connecting one of our Ag wells on the 2800 Acres to our Interface Pipeline.' Staff is asking
the Board to approve the Resolution authorizing submittal of applications to CALFED for
pilot project grants and designation of representative to sign applications. A motion was
made by Board Member Couch to this affect. Motion carried.

Notes:
50 year averages are based on years 1946 to 1995.
Unimpaired runoff represents the natural water production of a river basin,
unaltered by upsteam diversions, storage, or by export or import of water
to or from other watersheds.
Forecasted runoff assumes median conditions subsequent to the date of forecast.
Runoff probability ranges are statistically derived from historical data.
The 80% probability range is comprised of the 90% exceedence level value
and the 10% exceedence level value.
The actual runoff should fall within the stated limits eight times out of ten.

Kern River Levee District is a Special District of Kern County, and a political subdivision of the State of

district, and upon completion of this work, circulation of petitions in the area was started.
This group presented the Board of Supervisors a petition containing 2000 or more voters and properS' owners
of the area, who..R, eSired formation of the levee district as a protection of the overflow of Kern River.
Completion of the dist.ri~t marked seven years of effort on the part of the Civic Commercial Association board
of directors and members.
YEAR OF 1928:
The District was formed May 28, 1928 as set forth in a resolution of the Board of Supervisors under Act 4?34
of the general laws of the State of California and Protection Act of 1880, in accordance with the Water Code
Appendix.
The district was formed to protect the land within its boundaries from overflow and flooding from the Kern
River. In order to perform this protection, levees, and dikes had to be erected, within its boundaries. Once this
was accomplished the levees would have to be maintained.
Candidates for the three board of trustees position had to be a qualified electors owning property in the levee
district. Only those electors owning property in the district would be eligible to cast votes for trustees.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BY THE KERN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
TO CONSIDER ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KERN RIVER
LEVEE DISTRICT AS A SUBSIDIARY DISTRICT
OF 'file CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on the 16th day of May, , 2000, at 2~00
P.M., at the Chambers of the Kern County Board of Supervisors, County Administration
Building, 1115 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California, the Board of Supervisors will
conduct a public hearing in cormection with a proposal to establish the Kern River Levee
District as a subsidiary district of the City of Bakersfield. At the hearing, or any
continuation thereof, the testimony of all interested persons with respect to the proposal
Will be heard.
1. Proceedings for this proposal were initiated by joint application by the City
of Bakersfield and the Kern River Levee District and submitted to the Kern County Local
Agency Formation Commission and given the following short form designation: City of
Bakersfield & Kern River Levee District: Establishment of a Subsidiary District (Proceeding
No. 1278),
2. The general description ofthe territory concerned in the proposal as set forth
in the application is as follows:
The Kern River. Levee District includes central Bakersfield west of Union
Avenue south to Ming Avenue and then to Planz Road. It goes west as far
as the southerly extension of Jewetta Avenue. On,the north it generally
follows the Kern River but also includes small portions of southern Oildale
which have historically been subject to river flooding.
A complete description of the subject property and a map depicting the areas to be
detached are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, County Administrative
Center, Fifth Floor, 1115 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California.
3. The proposal was initiated for the following reasons:
The Kern River Levee District is unable to provide the appropriate level of
maintenance and control over the District's..territory because of limited
financial resources. The City of Bakersfield already had the responsibility
for the operation and distribution of Kern River water and has cooperated
with the District in the past by providing labor and equipment during flood
years, including remedial work on the levee. The transfer of this
responsibility to the City would be logical and cost effective for the public.
4. At any time before the time set for the hearing, any owner of land or any
registered voter within inhabited territory proposed to be detached, may file a written
protest against the proposed detachment; or any owner of land within uninhabited territory
proposed to be detached may file at any time prior to conclusion of said hearing. Any
written protest shall state whether it is made by a landowner or a registered voter and the
name and address of the landowner affected and the street address or other description
sufficient to identify the location of the land or the name and address of the registered
voter as it appears on the affidavit of registration. Each written protest shall show the date
that each signature was affixed to the protest. All written protests must be filed with the
Clerk of the Board, County Administrative Center, Fifth Floor, 1115 Truxtun Avenue,
Bakersfield, California, 93301, no later than the time fixed for hearing.
5. The Local Agency Formation Commission has imposed terms and conditions
upon the detachment, which are more fully set forth in the Commission'S Resolution No.
00-07, related to transferring the District's financing, revenue base and reserves to the
City; and requiring City to sign an indemnity agreement, prior to the issuance of the
Executive Officer's Certificate of Completion for said merger/establishment.of subsidiary
district, to hold Local Agency Formation Commission harmless from'any/liability or loss
connected with approval of City of Bakersfield Kem River. '.' Levee District:
Merger/Establishment of subsidiary district.
6. The City of Bakersfield, as the lead agency for this proposal, has determined
that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed action may have
a significant effect on the environment, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3)of the State CEQA
Guidelines for which reason, no environmental evaluations or documents were required
other than the Notice of Exemption which is on file with the Clerk of the Board.
If you challenge the action taken on this proposal in court, you may be limited to raising
only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing, or in written
corresp°ndence delivered to the Board of Supervisors at, o~' prior to, the public hearing.

Re: SP~NG 2000 U~AN STREAMS RESTO~TION PROG~M - Kern River
Dear Ms. Denzler,
Thank you for the oppo~uni~ to apply for a 2000 grant under Urban
~pring
the
Strems Restoration Program. The attached application is submitted on behalf of the Ci~ of
Bakersfield, in sponsorship of the Kern River Parkway Foundation and other active citizen
groups interested in pa~icipating in streamside restoration projects within the urban
Bakersfield area.
~, ·
As you ~'~your staff are aware, we've had ve~ successful restoration programs that
were completed ifi':,th~' fall of 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991/92. With the help of several Urban
Stream Restoration. grants and numerous volunteer groups, more than 45,000 lineal feet of
i~igation water mains and laterals were installed as pa~ of the restoration projects and over
4,200 native trees were planted along the highly visible Kern River floodplain.
The project continues to generate a tremendous amount of local support since it
provides a balance between flood-control, water conse~ation, wildlife enhancement and
open-space recreation for the entire community. The application this year is requesting
$190,000 for the Spring 2000 grant cycle and would be used to extend water lines and to
restore an additional 9,500 lineal t~et of Kern River shoreline and floodplain located at 24th
Street to Golden State Highway (site A); and 99 Highway to the Santa Fe Railroad crossing
(site B). These sites are centrally located in Bakersfield and have a high degree of daily
visibili~ from 99 Hwy, 24th Street and Golden State Highway. For your intbrmation we have
attached an aerial photograph showing the proposed spring 2000 restoration sites and some
of the previously completed Urban Streams prqiects. We have also included several "before"
and "after" stream channel photographs and other information including local news a~icles
covering our first twelve on the Kern River Parkway.

Board of Supervisors and the Bakersfield City Council in November 1988, and with the

of the Kern River floodplain through the urban Bakersfield area.
I We appreciate the opportunity to participate in the Urban Streams Restoration Program
and hope that you will view our application favorably. If you have any questions or require

Description of project
These are the 3 things they are looking to answer in this section:
1. Description
2. discussion of situation that has created a need
3. purpose of project
The first part of the project would build a 2 million gallon tank in Northwest Bakersfield to
provide water service to growing area of the Bakersfield City Ashe water system. The tank site
would include one well and would be backfilled at night from the 2800 acre facility to provide
water with better water quality to the customers of the northwest.
The wells drilled in the northwest have water quality problems. Hydrogen sulfide is found at
almost all the wells in the area. One well has been shut down due to nitrate levels above the
MCL and the inability to treat this problem. The area involved is growing at a rapid adding
pace
the tank site will allow us to keep up with demands of the customers in the most cost efficient
manner and to provide the best quality of water.
The purpose of the project is to provide one area to treat the water instead of installing a water
quality treatment vessel at each of the wells in the area.
The second part of the project would connect an existing well, Olcese #1 in 2800 acres currently
designed to be able to integrate with the domestic water system, to a 36 inch water line that feeds
the 10 million gallon tank and would help feed the new 2 million gallon tank. Olcese #1 would
pump groundwater from the 2800 acre City recharge site and help deliver it to residential homes
in the domestic Ashe water system.
Growth in west Bakersfield has been very steady and many more homes and businesses are being
planned for the west. This has brought the need for the additional supply of groundwater to
provide a reliable source of quality water to residents of the Ashe water system.
The additional supply provided by Olcese #1 will help keep up with the growing demand for
water in the Ashe water system.
The third part of the project would be to purchase land near the Stine and Farmers canals. This
land would be used to spread any excess storm water and replenish the water basin near domestic
wells.
Currently extra storm water is put in the Stine and Farmers Canals and it has no where to go
usually when there is extra storm water there is no demand for the water from the southern water
districts. This land purchase would allow us to alleviate any problems the water districts have
with getting rid of excess storm water runoff and would provide a nice area to recharge the
groundwater basin in the southern part of the Ashe water system.
B-2
Workplan
Provide workplan
type of tests and analyzes to be performed
reports and maps to be produced
quarterly progress reports
1. Consistency with CalFed
Environmental benefits. How will the project meet Cal Fed goals to increase
environmental benefits in the Bay-Delta
All three projects will reduce demand of water from the Bay-Delta. Either from
reduced surface water demand from State supplies or by using local
surface/ground water
supplies.
Local Benefits. In what way does the proposed project increase benefits for the local
area?
Better water quality; less demand from Bay-Delta supplies.
Added Delta Supply. Will the project increase water supply to the Delta? How?
By utilization of local water supplies in-lieu of Bay-Delta water.
Reducing Delta Demand. Will the project reduce the demand for water from the Delta?
How?
Yes, see above.
Water quality improvement. How will the project improve water quality in the Delta or
in the local area?
By treating H-2S supplies in northwest; spreading local surface water to south; and
utilizing banked water from west.
2. Local Support: Identify agencies in area and their level of support or opposition for the
project
Plan for education and outreach- explain how the public, adjoining property owners and
local gov't will be notified include and timing for each.

Re: NE Bakersfield Water Treatment Plant Project: Design Services for Intake and
Pumping Facilities
Dear Gene:
As follow up to our discussion on April 12, 2000 regarding plans for designing and
constructing facilities for conveying water to the new treatment plant and the County's
parklands for irrigation, I am summarizing our proposed approach for your concurrence
and authorization to proceed.
Cal Water has the responsibility to design and construct:
1) A connection or junction box with one of the existing 54" intake lines
2) An intake line that conveys flow from the junction box to the intake structure
3) An intake structure for a high pressure pump station
4) A high pressure pump station to pump water to the treatment plant.
5) Access roads and security fencing around the pump station.
Possibly an generator at the station.
6)
emergency
power
pump
The City of Bakersfield has the responsibility to design and construct:
1) The raw water storage reservoir
2) An intake structure for a low pressure pump station
3) A pump station to pump water to County's
Kern
recreation
and
parkland
areas
for irrigation.
4) Access roads and security fencing around the pump station.
It is our understanding that the City has completed the design documents for the raw
water storage reservoir and is preparing a description of the design requirements for items
2), 3) and 4) to be included in a request for proposals (RFP) to be used to solicit
proposals for .design and construction engineering services.
Cai Water is intending to outsource the design and possibly construction engineering
services for items 1) through 6) in the near future.
Our mutual revised approach now is to have Cai Water solicit two fa'ms: Kennedy/Jenks
and Boyle Engineers to submit competitive proposals on one RFP tbr all the services

identified above. The two firms would be expected to present their approach to laying out
and integrating facilities so as to minimize construction and operation and maintenance
costs while maintaining the highest possible water quality (suitable as a source for
drinking water) in the storage reservoir. They would be required to present a proposed
budget and schedule for accomplishing the project along with information on the project
manager, design team and experience on similar projects.
Cal Water with input from the City would select one of the fa:ms and enter into a contract
for services. Upon startup, the fu'm would further develop its approach in a preliminary
design report and present it in a meeting with representatives fi'om Cal Water, City of
Bakersfield, CALM and DHS. Upon approval of the preliminary design, the firm would
be authorized to prepare design documents, which would be reviewed by the Cai
Water/City of Bakersfield team and DHS at the 25%, 50% and 90% completion phases.
The firm would be required to set up its project accounting so labor costs and expenses
could be appropriately assigned to the facilities on which the work was done. Monthly
invoices would be broken out into two separate statements: one for Cai Water facilities
and the other for City facilities. Cai Water could then forward the invoice for services
completed for City facilities to the City for approval and reimbursement to Cai Water.
This approach should save time and money while leading to an overall better integrated
design. If you concur, please let us know as soon as possible in writing so that we may
proceed to develop a mutually acceptable services agreement for this project.
An initial proposed schedule for accomplishing the above activities follows:
April 17 - 21: Prepare and review draft agreement for services to be provided
April 24 - 28: Finalize and sign agreement. Prepare and review draft RFP
May 1 - 5: Finalize and issue RFP to two firms
May 8 - 22: Firms prepare and submit proposals
May 23 - 26: Proposals reviewed and evaluated
May 30 - 31' Cai Water selects and notifies firm
June 1 - 16: Cal Water negotiates and signs contract and authorizes services
June 19 - July 14: Firm prepares and submits preliminary design report
July 17 - 24: Report reviewed by Cai Water, City and DHS
July 25: Meeting with firm, Cai Water, City, CALM and DHS to provide
comments and direction
July 26 - Aug 31: Firm prepares and submits 30% design documents for review
Sep 1 - Sep 8: Review and comments on 30% design
Sep 11 - Oct 13: Firm prepares and submits 60% design documents
Oct 16 - Oct 23: Review and comments on 60% design
Oct 24 - Nov 22: Firm prepares and submits 90% design documents
Nov 27 - Dec 4: Review and comments on 90% design
Dec 5 - Dec 29: Firm prepares and submits 100% design documents
Jan 2 - Jan 9: Review and acceptance of 100% design
CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY
This schedule will need to be reviewed by other Cai Water staff as well as you and the
selected firm and undoubtedly will be revised a few times as the project proceeds.
If you have any comments, concerns or suggestions on the above approaqh, please feel
fi'ee to share them with me or Jeff Yarne, our project manager (650/574-1030).
We look forward to working with you on this very important and challenging project as
well as your continuing interest and support.

SUBJECT: UPDATE ON PROP 13 (WATER BOND) AND PROP 12 (PARK BOND)
I
I Last Friday I spoke with Olivia Guebra, analyst with the State Department of Water Resources
regarding Proposition 13 funding. Ms. Guebra informed me that the $2.5 million designated for the Kern
River Parkway under the Water Bond has been included in the Governor's May budget revisions. She
I further stated that the is approved the City of Bakersfield would receive the total $2.5 million

budget
after the required documents between the City and State are completed. According to Ms. Guebra should
the governor' s budget be approved on a timely basis water bond funds for the Parkway could be available
I to the City by July 1, 2000.
i Earlier today I spoke with Dick Baker with the State Resources Agency regarding Proposition 12
funding.. Mr. Baker informed me that the $2.5 million designated for the Kern River Parkway under the
Park Bond has also been included in the Governor' s May budget revisions. The $2.5 million in Park Bond
I revenue would also come directly to the City after the budget is approved; however, the funds would only
be disbursed to the City on a reimbursement basis for eligible Parkway improvements. I shared with Mr.
Baker the information received from the State Department of Water Resources and asked why the
Idisbursement of the two bond proceeds were so different. Mr. Baker told me he would check with his
agency and get back to me as soon as he had an answer. I will continue to update you on this matter, as
additional information is available.
