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. 8. The proposed Water Board meeting schedule for the year 2000 was brought before the Board for there review.

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.

YEAR OF 1920~ The Civic Commercial Association, '~I'he City's Chamber of Commerce", sponsored a drive to form a levee district in this year. YEAR OF 1926: In 1926 Fred L. Gribble was named as chairman of a subcommittee to designate proposed boundaries of the 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. 1 By Wanda Anagnostopoulos 1 Kern River Levee District April 2, 1991 Trustees of the newly formed Kern River Levee District was elected on or about July 17, 1928.

Cason was hired as a mosquito employee and to perform duties on the levee on a part time basis. Duties performed for the Levee District would be considered as sub-contract work. YEAR OF 1978::i~,'~:, I J.W. Cason retired August 11, 1978. Kern Mosquito District employee Johnnie Varnell replaced Mr. Cason. Johnnie Varuell works for the Levee District full time approximately November through March of each year. Starting in April he patrols the levee one day per week.

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.

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. years I 1000 BUENA VISTA ROAD · BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 93311 · (661) 326-3715 i· Following the formal adoption of the Kern River Parkway Plan by both Kern County Board of Supervisors and the Bakersfield City Council in November 1988, and with the I success of local Urban Streams projects in prior years, we feel the Spring 2000 Urban Streams Restoration Program funds will continue to promote the rapid restoration and enhancement of the Kern River floodplain through the urban Bakersfield area.

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. process Compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations.-submit copies of NEPA, CEQA and other environmental compliance and permitting documents upon their completion, prior to the release of funds under this program Support of constituency.- written permission from property owner if we do not own. 3. Plan to effectively manage, protect, and monitor the basin - Plan must include spatial data (x,y,z) and temporal monitoring of surface water flow in streams, groundwater levels within the aquifer, water quality for surface water and groundwater, subsidence of the land surface, amount of groundwater extracted, plant communities, and 3rd party impacts. 4. Source of recharge water. Availability - is the water proposed for recharge available for use by the project City banked water; Reliability - is the supply of water for recharge assured for the operation of the project? Can the supply be relied upon? Quality - quality recharge water and the water received from the aquifer is the of the adequate 'for the intended use? 5. Funding sources Local funding Outside funding 6. Technical feasibility. 7. Expandability- I RESOLUTION No. 00-03 W.B.

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 I DISTRICT OFFICES: BAKERSFIELD · BEAR GULCH · CHICO · DIXON · EAST LOS ANGELES · HERMOSA.REDONDO · KING CiTY · LIVERMORE · LOS ALTOS SUBURBAN · MARYSVILLE · OROVILLE · PALOS VERDES · SALINAS · MID-PENINSULA · SELMA · SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO · STOCKTON · VISALIA · WESTLAKE * WILLOWS CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY 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.

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 once 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.
