these requests and ideas should be brought before and Mr. Bergen II

BUDGET REVIEW AND FINANCE COMMITTEE I
REPORT NO. 18-81
August 26, 1981
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: KERN RIVER COMPONENT OF THE OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
The City Council recently directed staff to present Council with
a draft of a Kern River Component of the Open Space Element, covering a11
lands within the River corridor from the mouth of the Kern Canyon to
Interstate 5.
This committee has thoroughly reviewed the points brought forth
from the meetings between City, Kern County Planning, and Kern County Council
of Governments staffs. The points discussed included:
1) The Kern River corridor consists of both City and County lands,
. .
which lends itself to the concept of a combined effort in formulating the
Open Space policy along the River.
2) Kern Cog is vitally interested and would. be a funding source
in light of the multi-jurisdictional facet for this project. ..
3) Existing staffs are not able to completely facilitate a study.
As such, a qualified consultant firm is needed to assist in the data collection,
field work, and basic preliminary formulation of the text in conjunction with
close supervision by staff personnel of both City and County Planning Departments.
The land use policy recommendations of the study of the Kern River
corridor would include mainly those lands within the flood plain primary and
secondary. Presently, a study is underway as commissioned by the Water Board
:
1;0 study their recently adopted development plan for ground water recharging.
The Water Board's report covers the area from Chester Avenue to Interstàte 5.

(/~' by this committee would include only those lands not considered in the study
presently underway for 'the Water Board. In fact, the Water Board's study
would be attached to the Council's study to form a document which will com-
pletely cover the Kern River corridor as directed by the City Council. This
plan will assure that there will be no duplicated effort in this study.
The cost of the study is estimated to be $25,000. The Cityl s
portion would be $5,000 with the County and Kern Cog funding the balance.
In conclusion, the Budget Review and Finance Committee recommends
the City Council authorize the appropriation of $5,000 from the Council
Contingency Account for the study and direct staff to proceed with a draft
Request for Proposal to be returned to the City Council for approval prior to
proceeding further.

e-4 MEMORANDUM
"t.. CI.
August 9,1982
TO Dennis Pisila. Planning Department
FROM John Chafin, Water Manager ~.£..C . ~
b~9th&d 8-9-B'2.
SUBJECT Kern River Open Space P1an - Chapter 3
In response to your memorandum calling for comments on Chapter 3 of the
Kern River Open Space Plan please take the following into consideration:
Page 3-1: Under PROJECTS; City of Bakersfield Groundwater Recharge Pro-
gram -.The City has constructed and operated a turnout to convey recharge water
through the River Canal to an existing spreading basin.
Page 3-10: Under INTERESTS; Community Groups and Governmental Agencies -
ThE first line of paragraph refers to the IIRiver Haster". This title is the
IIKern River Watennaster" and his function is as the appointed representative
of all Kern River water right interests.
The last paragraph under this section refers to the "water basin",.this
should be "groundwater basinll.
Page )-13: Unde r CON FL I CTS; lack of Coordination vs. Comprehensive
Management - The City has allowed sand and gravel removal as a function of
channel management in areas that are beneficial to the use of the Kern River
channel - flood control and water transport. We feel this is a part of com-
prehensive management of the channel.
Page 3-14: Under CONn t CTS; Aesthetics vs. Utility and Costs. second
paragraph refers to rip-rap and asphalt waste materials - The City does not ..
allow dumping of concrete and asphalt waste-materials except under the following.
cond i t ions: 1) if we (Water Department) have immediate need for clean, useable
materials at specific sites 'for maintenance work on City structures or 2) if
we have plans for use of materials in the near future then temporary storage sites
are determined and clean, useable materials are accepted. As a pract ice, if
illegal dumping is observed cornective measures are taken to remedy those situ-
ations.
