WATER BOARD - CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1977
4:00 P, M.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Rogers in the City Hall Caucus
Room.
The Secretary called the roll as follows:
Present: Rogers, Barton, Bergen, Hoagland, Ratty
The minutes from the meeting of August 31, 1977, were approved as presented
Mr. Blakemore presented to the Board the letter of September 30, 1977, from
Chevron U.S.A., Inc. regarding oil field water discharging into the Beard-
sley Canal. The letter outlines the conditions Chevron feels would en-
able all parties concerned to reach a reasonable agreement involving the
long-term transfer of Chevron's Kern River oil field water to the Beard-
sley Canal. Chevron believes an offer of $10.00 per acre foot for taking
of water from their operations should be acceptable. After discussion
Mr. Bergen made a motion that the letter be accepted and placed on file
and Mr. Blakemore and the City's Consulting Engineer, Tom Stetson get
together with the parties involved and make a recommendation'to the Board.
The motion was carried. ~hairman Rogers suggested that Chevron be con-
tacted by telephone and informed of our intentions.
On motion by Mr. Bergen the Board approved Borrow Agreement No. 77-05 W. B.
with Valley Tree & Construction regarding the removal of sand from the
Kern River. Mr. Hoagland made a motion that because of the time factor
the Water Department be given the authority to enter into this type of
borrow agreement without presenting the agreement to the Water Board. The
--~ motion was passed.
Letters from the Kern County Water Agency and Attorney, Rex Mull, regarding
excavation in the Kern River bed were presented to the Board. The letters
requested that the-City's attention be called to various excavations in
the Kern River channel in areas within the City's jurisdiction. Mr.
Blakemore told the board that the standard we are using is that excavations
not be more than four feet deep and have eight to one side slopes. After
discussion, Mr. Bergen suggested that the staff research the matter with
the Kern County Water Agency and submit a report to the Board of their
recommendation.
A request from Berrenda Mesa Water District to buy Kern River water as a
drought relief measure was brought before the Board and upon motion by
Mr. Barton it was received and placed on file to be referred to the staff
for study. The motion was carried.
The Agreement between the City and Olcese Water Distric~ was outlined
briefly by Mr. Hoagland. The City had a Memorandum of Understanding da%ed
May 2, 1977 with Olcese on the 2800 acres. George ~ickel is apparently
interested in extending the Memorandum of Understanding to include more
land and more water. Mr. Hoagland indicated that this may have some
serious implications for the City. The item was held for discussion at a
.later date.
Mr. Blakemore.read a letter to the Board from the Kern County Water AgencY
requesting Kern River diversion records from the City. After discussion
it was suggested by Mr. Bergen that we contact the Kern County Water
Agency and see exactly what their request involves and cooperate w~h them
when possible and to the extent that it is not a burden on the City s
staff.
The letter of September 28, 1977, to Harold Bergen from County Supervisor
Young regarding cloud seeding was presented to the Board. Mr. Bergen
stated that he felt he and Mr. Blakemore should attend their meeting on
October 19, 1977, to discuss the program. Mr. Bergen believes that the
County of Kern represents all citizens of Bakersfield and they are prob-
ably the better agency to evaluate and determine if this would be bene-
ficial to the the community. Mr. Bergen made a motion that the Board
reaffirm its policy of letting a County-wide entity make this decision.
The motion was carried.
Mr. Blakemore informed the Board that he had received a telephone call
from Gil Castle, Manager of Kern Delta Water District requesting the
services of Assistant Water Manager John Chafin to review their field
operations. Mr. Bergen stated that he was not O~posed to Mr. Chafin
discussing mutual problems with.the Kern Delta staff, however, he was
opposed to entering into any formal arrangement or agreement for Mr.
Chafin's services to the Kern Delta District. Chairman Rogers suggested
that we telephone Kern Delta and inform them of our decision.
Upon motion by Mr. Barton, which was passed, John Chafin was appointed
as alternate to Mr. Blakemore on the Board of Directors of the Kern
County Water Association.
On motion by Mr. Hoagland the letter of August~15, 1977, to the City from
North Kern Water Storage District regarding Agreement No. 76-89, (Property
Sale) was received and placed under study by the staff. The motion was
carried.
The memorandum of September 23, 1977, from Chuck Williams regarding re-
construction of First Point of Measurement on a motion by Mr. Hoagland,
which was carried,-was placed on file.
The Agreement between the City and Pacific Gas and Electric Company for
service to well No. 9 was presented to the Board. Mr. Bergen made a
motion that the Agreement be approved and that the Chairman be authorized
to sign the Agreement. The motion'w~s carried.
The letter of September 28,~ 1977, to William T. Belch of Tenneco from
John Chafin regarding access to Firs% Point was presented to the Board
as an information item only. Mr. Chafin told the Board that he had ..
a meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 6, 1977, with Mel Jane, of
Tenneco to discuss the matter.
The Department of Water is in the process of formalizing rental agreements
with North Kern Water Storage District and Kern Delta Water District to
insure full utilization of certain heavy equipment now owned and main-
tained solely by the City. By entering into this rental agreement the
Water Department can both reduce its equipment budget and maximize use
of this equiPment. Upon a motion,~by Mr. Hoagland, which was carried,
the Water Department will assist the City Purchasing Department in pre-
paring agreements for presentation to the Water Board.
Mr. Blakemore read to the Board a memorandum from Water Superintendent,
Gene Bogart regarding canal maintenance and repair. Mr. Bogart stated
that due to the increase in agricultural development an~ resulting rise
in rodent activity adjacent to the River Canal in recent years, we have
had to step-up our maintenance and cement lining repair accordingly.
Because of the water loss and time involved when using the ~normal bidding
process (3 to 4 weeks for advertisement and return of sealed bids), it is
requested that the Department of Water be added to the annual contract
list for cement work. Mr. Blakemore, presented another memorandum from
Mr~._D~.gart~re~uesting that.the Finance Department negotiate an an~ua!
~ntract wi~h~_Ab_~t~-LA-Weed~ompan~'~f~r' ma~e~ials ..... and services .fo~we~d
~-%~~n'~-~anals. on a one-year~al bas~'j T~is f~m ~S
~=~oca~~0~'th~% ~ ~ly~e~ue-s{~a~ materials and licensed
operators to make the herbicide applications in the manner specified
by the Department of Water. Mr. Hoagland made a motion that~the contracts
be prepared by the Water Department and City Purchasing and presented ~o
the Water Board. The motion was carried.
-2-
Chairman Rogers informed the Board of a letter he had received from
Dr. Ted Murphy, of Cal State Bakersfield regarding his request to use
a portion of our 2800 acres as a preserve for~animals and plants. Mr.
Bergen suggested that the letter be presented to the City Water and
Growth Committee for review and then referred back to the'Water Board.
There being no further business to come before the Board' Chairman
Rogers adjourned the meeting at 5:25 P.M. ~

III. On July 20, 1977, the Kern County Water Agency was invited to
discuss the agency concerns relating to the Rio Bravo annexa-
tion and the subsequent exchange of water rights between the
city of Bakersfield and the Olcese Water District.
This "exchange of rights" was described in the "Memo of Under-
standing" between the Olcese Water District and the city of
Bakersfield and was dated May 2, 1977. On August 9, 1977, the
Agency submitted a letter to the city of Bakersfield enumerating
their concerns over the exchange of these rights. On August
19, 1977, the Agency's comments were sent to the city's consultant
for water related matters for review and comment. (i.e. Thomas
M. Stetson and civil and consulting engineers)
On October 11, 1977, the city's consultant responded to the
question.raised by the Kern County Water Agency.
It is on the basis of the Kern County Water Agency comments
that this supplementary environmental document is originated
so as to fully disclose the intent of each party to said
agreement.
As can be seen on ~the attac~ed map, the city of Bakersfield
acquired approximately 2,800 acres of the Kern River from
Tenneco, Inc. in November 1976. The property extends from the
existing westerly city limits at Stockdale Highway thence
southwesterly to California State Route 1-5 (See attached
legal description).
As can be seen by review of the enclosed agreement, all aspects
of improvements, measurements, costs incurred by each party
that relate to the water rights on the Kern River will be a
matter of public record. In addition, the city of Bakersfield
will keep the Kern County Water Agency (and any other i~terested
agency) fully informed as to the implementation progress of
~the "Agreement". Specific comments to the Agency's concerns
will be forwarded to the Agency under separate covers.

· . ~fEMORANDUM OF UI~D~STANDING NO. 77-7~
The City of Bakersfield owns in fee 2800 acres of land
along the Kern River west of Bakersfield.. The City plans to utilize'
this area as a water spreading ground to increase water management
and to enhance water supplies for use within the City.
The Olcese Water District is se~zing water to urban and
farming uses northeast of Bakersfield. The Olc~se Water District
contemplates acquiring the Hacienda Water rights, which is a lower-
river water right. It is contemplated that lands in the Olcese area
will be annexed to the City of Bakersfield. The annexation is known
as the Rio Bravo Annexation. It is necessary that the lands within
the Rio Bravo Annexation be assured of a continuous source of water
for 'their present and future development.
This Memorandum of Understanding sets forth principles of
agreement relative to the above, which will be encompassed in a for-
mal written contract at a later date.
1. City will identify the 2800 acres with particularity.
2. 'Olcese Water District will endeavor to expand its
boundaries to abut Kern County Water Agency
ImProvement District IV boundaries.
3. City will contract with Olcese Water District to
allow Olcese to place 10 or ~nore water wells on
City's 2800 acres at locations approved by City.
a. Olcese is to furnish a schedule of well
development and plans for each well and
at its sole expense to construct such'
wells.
b. Olcese is to deed the wells to the
City upon cOmpletion of each well.
° c. The wells are to be operated by City.
d. Olcese is to be compensated for the
cost of such wells as set forth here-
inafter.
4. Olcese at its expense will construct any diversion,
measuring and other spreading facilities necessary
to its operations.- The'annual operation and main-
