Regarding the recent budget cuts announced by the Governor, a memo is enclosed with information about the impact it may have on some of our operations, both in the current and future budgets. Absolute clarity on the road related projects is not there yet, and we will continue to research and monitor the situation. 4. Per the attached memo, Donna Kunz has researched a grant opportunity that could provide funding for expanding Central Park and doing canal improvements with a meandering urban stream and landscaping amenities. I've asked staff to make a serious effort to obtain the grant. We will keep you updated. 5. We sent the enclosed correspondence to Congressman Thomas to ask for his assistance with our appeal to the FAA to upgrade the Bakersfield Airpark airspace designation for safety reasons.

AT:rs cc: Department Heads Pam McCarthy, City Clerk Trudy Slater, Administrative Analyst B A K 'E R S F I E L D OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM I i December 12, 2002 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: John W. Stinso~stant City Manager SUBJECT: Potential impacts of Governor's proposed budget cuts On December 6th the Governor released his Mid-Year Spending Reduction Proposal report. His proposal includes approximately $10.2 billion in budget cuts statewide in an attempt to address the over $23 billion state budget gap. This memo identifies areas in the Governor's proposal which may impact the City of Bakersfield in both the current and future budget years. It is important to note that at this point these are proposed actions. However, they represent likely areas that the Governor and the Legislature would be considering for budget reductions and should be taken seriously. Given the magnitude of the state's budget deficit it is also likely there will be additional reductions proposed by both the Governor and the Legislature as they receive pressure from various interest groups (including cities) affected by these proposed actions. Staff will be continuously monitoring actions by the state as they proceed through their budgetary process. The cuts proposed by the Governor which could impact the City of Bakersfield include the following: Transportation Funding: Local Street and Road Funding The Governor's proposals contain $1.8 billion in suggested transportation cuts, including eliminating the $90 million balance of the payments due cities ($45 million) and counties ($45 million) in this budget year (2002-03) under AB 2928 (Chapter 91, Statutes 2000) for rehabilitation and maintenance of city streets and county roads. The proposed transportation cuts also include the deferral of paying back the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund (TCRF) and the State Highway account for a total of $550 Million in loans made last year to the General Fund and eliminating the transfer of Proposition 42 funding from the General Fund to transportation purposes. It appears the currently proposed Governor's program to balance the budget would include the loss of AB2928 program funds to the city. The AB2928 funds are part of the Governor's Traffic Congestion Relief Program, and are required by the program to be used for road maintenance and rehabilitation purposes. They have been used as part of both the city's Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and the Streets Division for resurfacing streets. The City received $1.7 million in FY 00-01 and $650,000 in FY 01-02 under the program. S:~JOHN\Budget~003 Governor's State Budget Impacts.doc Staff included as part of the FY 02-03 budget $700,000 in estimated revenue under this program. Due to the accelerated road resudacing program undertaken this past summer as part of the Capital Improvements Program and the Streets Division, this funding has already been expended. However, only one payment of AB2928 funds has been received so far this fiscal year and totals $88,186. If upcoming payments to cities under the program are suspended for the second, third and fourth quarterly payments as the Governor proposes, this will result in a funding shortfall of approximately $611,814 that would have to be made up by deferring other gas tax funded projects. Staff is exploring other options for compensating for this shortfall. Proposition 42 Fundinq The Governor also proposes to eliminate the transfer of the entire Proposition 42 funding from the State's General Fund to transportation. This is estimated to retain $1.046 billion in fiscal year 2003-04 for State General Fund purposes. For transportation this means a further delay in the shift of sales tax on gasoline for transportation purposes which was slated to be allocated as follows: $678 million towards the Governor's 42 capital projects, $147 million for the STIP, $147 million for cities and counties for local streets and roads and $74 million for transit. On December 9, 2002 the Governor took the first step towards implementing this proposal by issuing a proclamation to suspend the transfer to transportation as required by the California Constitution under Proposition 42 declaring that the 2003-04 transfer of revenues would result in a significant negative fiscal impact on the General Fund. Proposition 42 did authorize such a suspension during a state fiscal crisis. However, Proposition 42 also requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to institute the suspension. Deferral of the $550 Million Loan Payment The Governor proposes the deferral of $550 million in loan payments the State General Fund owes transportation funds in 2003-04 as a result of last year's loan from the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund and the State Highway (SHA). This will likely result in a reexamination of capital projects and potential delays or re-prioritization of State Transportation Improvement Projects (STIP) and the 42 capital projects proposed by the Governor in the Traffic Congestion Relief Plan. Public Works staff indicates that the Governor's proposal of loan forgiveness to the state General Fund would impact the STIP and could possibly impact such projects as the Fairfax/178 interchange, White Lane sound wall, Westside Parkway, and the recent Caltrans auxiliary lane project on State Route 99 at White Lane. While these projects are primarily funded with Federal Funds, the State Highway Account does provide the State funds for the "match" part of the funding for the projects. These are the immediate effects. The other thing mentioned is a long term issue regarding delaying Prop 42 monies that we anticipated would be available starting in 2007 or 2008 for road repairs. Staff estimates the funds provided under this funding source to be $2-3 million annually. Public Safety - Local Assistance Proqrams: The Governor is proposing reductions to certain local assistance programs however, none of these programs directly involve the City of Bakersfield. S:~JOHN\Budget~O03 Governor's State Budget Impacts.doc Other Local Government Fundinq: User Funding of Workers' Compensation Proqrams Existing law provides for an assessment on insured and self-insured employers to support costs associated with the workers' compensation programs in the department of industrial relations. This assessment supports approximately 20% of program costs with the remaining amount coming from the State's General Fund. The Governor's proposal would replace the General Fund support with 100% user funding. The city currently pays about $11,000 annually for this assessment which would increase by $44,000 under this proposal. Non-Proposition 98 Mandate Fundinq The Governor is proposing to continue the action taken this fiscal year of suspending payments for reimbursable state mandates for FY 2003-04. This revenue varies annually based on state regulations and programs, but the city typically would have received around $50,000 in these reimbursements. Transfer of Unencumbered Low and Moderate Income Housinq Funds to the State The Governor is proposing that any unencumbered portions of the 20% Low and Moderate Income Housing funds set aside by Redevelopment Agencies as of December 1, 2002 be immediately transferred to the State General Fund. His proposal further states that the Governor intends to address the overall policy of Redevelopment Agency Funding as part of the Governor's 2003-04 budget. Staff is currently researching the potential financial impact of this action to the city. The financial impacts could vary depending on differing legal interpretations as to how "unencumbered" is defined as well as any potential capture of Redevelopment funds we have yet to receive from the County Tax Collector. The City has been prudently utilizing its housing set aside funds for various housing projects so we currently believe there could be limited impact to the city at this time. However, this could change depending on how the Governor's proposal is finally implemented by the state. Redevelopment funds in general could be at risk based on the Governors proposal to address overall Redevelopment Agency funding. Changes proposed through budget deliberations could impact the city's ability to utilize Redevelopment Agency funds for its redevelopment efforts and projects. Staff will be tracking these discussions as the 2003-04 budget process progresses. Vehicle License Fees · The Governor did not recommend any changes to the Vehicle License Fees at this time as was feared by the City. However, as stated earlier this revenue source could be a subject of subsequent discussions by the Governor and the Legislature as various interest groups oppose the proposed reductions. The Legislature is not expected to take final action on these proposals until January 2003 however; due to the potential risk to these funds it is important that we communicate these significant impacts to our state legislators. Staff will be preparing information to give our local legislators to inform them of the impacts of the Governor's proposals on our city.

If you need any help I that process, please call. attachment RECEIVED DEC § 2OO2 BAKERSFIELD Economic and Community Development Department C~' MANAGER'S MEMORANDUM J ............. F December 6, 2002 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager [ ~LiJ~ FROM: Donna Kunz, Economic Devel'op~m_e_nt__.~Diret~tor SUBJECT: Response to Councilmember Benham - Request to research grant resources to construct/improve a canal and create a linear park from Central Park to California Avenue I researched e-Civis, our grant identification program and located a promising source of grant funds that will be announced in January 03 under the Urban Park Grant Act. There will be approximately $127,400,000 available on a competitive basis. I believe that a strong application could be made by us for expanding Central Park and changing the canal into a meandering urban stream with a linear park that would include walk and bikeways, some interesting outdoor art sculptures depicting youth and families, interesting landscape and a rock- scape shallow brook that would begin just north of Central Park and end on California Avenue. We could also create redevelopment opportunities for several restaurants and possibly some retail pads along the route that would be a real economic stimulus for the area. The grant is a combination of redevelopment activities and parks. They are looking for projects in blighted areas that enhance employment opportunities - (Redevelopment sites created), provide outdoor learning opportunities for users - (art and botanical landscape aspects), useable by pupils from one or more public schools, - (Downtown Elementary and Sandstone) replace areas of blight- (Redevelopment project area locations throughout plan), planned with much public input - ( Vision 2020 and Charrette already completed) and lastly, they want it to be a joint-use project between two or more agencies - (Water, City Parks, Redevelopment Agency, Art Museum, HOA of the new cottages, other new private developers). The partners in the project must share ownership and maintenance of the project. This is a great opportunity for our city to accomplish a major redevelopment goal and provide the citizens with an outstanding recreation amenity. We will form a team with the other departments to put this application together beginning in mid-January. EDCD would be willing to coordinate the application process as we have much of the redevelopment and economic development language and statistics that will be so critical in the development of the proposal. cc: Gene Bogart Stan Ford Raul Rojas C:\Documents and Settings\cgutierr~Local Settings\Temp\Urban Parks.doc eCFqis Grant Detail Printout Page 1 of 3 eCivis Grant Detail Printout 12/4/2002 Grant Title: Urban Park Act Grant - FY 2003 Grant #: CA0453 summary -- Type of Grant: California Due Date: Unknown Multipart Grant: Solicitation Date: 01/18/2003 (Anticipated) Agency Name: CA Resources Agency Office: Office of Parks and Recreation Summary: The purpose of this program is to establish a local assistance program under which the the'program office will offer grants, on a competitive basis, to various local entities and nonprofit organizaUons, as defined, for the acquisition or development, or both, of urban parks and recreational areas and facilities.

This creates a potential conflict for inattentive or unfamiliar pilots departing L-45 and flying into the ILS flight path of BFL. There-have been several incidents requiring evasive action from pilots of commercial airlines over the past several years. It may be only a matter of time before a tragic accident occurs due to the proximity of these airports. We initially requested the change from Class "D" airspace to Class "C" airspace from Mr. William C. Withycombe, Administrator, Western Pacific Region, FAA in March 2000. This would require pilots using L-45 to notify the tower at BFL of their movements. His response was that BFL does not meet the criteria for Class "C" airspace and therefore could not be changed. We requested he reconsider the decision and the response again was that the airspace designation could not be changed. A copy of the most recent request for airspace modification is attached l~reto. We believe that the safety of the flying Public should be considered a priority when considering this change, rather than entirely adhering to limiting criteria. The traffic control staff at BFL control tower has been supportive of the change in airspace classification, as they too are concerned about the safety of the commercial airlines on their approach to BFL. Due to the safety concerns, the City of Bakersfield has even considered closure of the airport. However, this option appears highly unlikely. Therefore, we are requesting your assistance to change the airspace at BFL to Class "C" which would resolve the safety concerns. Since it appears this cannot be done through normal channels, would you present special legislation to accomplish the airspace change, or is there another approach through the FAA that we may take? We look forward to a positive response regarding our request. Si rely,~ HARVEY L.

Box 92007, WWPC Los Angeles, CA 90009-2007 SUBJECT: Reconsideration of Air safety Bakersfield Municipal Airport (L-45) Dear Mr. Withycombe: As you are aware the City of Bakersfield is concerned with air safety between traffic of Bakersfield Municipal Airport (L-45) and .Meadows Field (BFL). In the past we had requested that the airspace designation.at BFL be upgraded to Class C, which would incorporate L-45 and allow air traffic controllers to monitor traffic at both airports.. You have previously denied the designation change because it has not met minimum FAA guidelines. We are requesting that you review the conditions again for changing the BFL airspace to Class C or Class C from 1500' - 3000'. We believe this change in airspace would alleviate our safety concerns and protect the ILS to Meadows Field. We would accept any other ideas that you may have to control traffic that would further pro~ect the ILS into Meadows Field. The City of Bakersfield remains concerned about aircrati safety and would like a remedy to the conflict of airspace between BFL and L-45. Thank you for your assistance. very t uiy Brad B.

Actually, our "formula" is simple. First, we use a model that has worked for many notable companies like Walt Disney World and Southwest Airlines - hire good people and train them. Second, we have adopted the core values of safety, quality, service, and fun. Although selecting these values was easy, the daily implementation takes a lot of commitment and work by our staff. Finally, it takes the support of managers who understand that servant leadership works better than self-serving leadership. As we continue to practice the things that have made us successful, we hope that our work is benefitting you. As Ken Blanchard says, "feedback is the breakfast of champi- ons.'' With that in mind, please let us know if there's a way we can improve our service. Your ideas only make us better! On behalf of Team Fun, I invite you to join us in making a difference in people's lives.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Unfortunately, much of our resources are wasted on repairs of vandalized equipment or landscaping. During one recently documented 3-month pedod, Parks Division expended an average of $1,500 per week, or $78,000 annually, to make repairs to vandalized fencing, playground equipment, irrigation system components or replacing landscape materials. Vandalism of playground equipment is particularly problematic, as it may take 6-8 weeks before replacement pads are available. All the while, your playground equipment will likely be closed and unavailable for use. Here's how you can be a part of the "Good" and make a difference.

Please keep in mind, these are general suggestions. Specific olant species, soil condition, irrigation system, amount of sunlight, time of year (growing season) and other factors may need to be considered for your specific situation. Lawn Care Most of us dread the thought of having to mow the lawn on a regular basis for the entire growing season. Yet proper mowing is one of the simplest and least expensive preventative maintenance practices that can give you the healthiest lawn on the block. Each variety of grass has a recommended cutting height that will make it vigorous and healthy. At its optimal height, grass will have greater root growth, less rapid regrowth, greater photosynthetic capacity, more density, and less If the growth rate is the same, then the grass stress. Tight, healthy turf helps prevent weeds mowed to one inch would have to be mowed in from getting started, and actually crowds them two days to remove one-third of the plant; out of the space they need to grow.

Do it old blade. on a Thursday, so you've got the whole weekend to enjoy the great outdoors. Determine mowing frequency by the grass growth rate and not any set schedule. Mowing heights and frequencies follow the basic principle that no more than 1/3 of leaf surface should be removed during each mowing. Removing more than one-third shocks the plants, which may result in temporary thinning of the turf. Grass mowed at one inch will require more frequent mowings than that mowed at 2 inches.

We will miss their leadership but will see them continue to volunteer with KBB projects. The next scheduled KBB meeting is for December 13~ 200? CITY OF BAKERSFIELD Recreation &Parlcs PARKS DIVISION NOVEMBER 2002, MONTHLY REPORT WALL STREET ALLEY Not long ago, Wall Street Alley Property owners expressed a desire to improve the look of Wall Street Alley without loosing the intimate feel the area is known. The one block project area is located west of Chester Avenue to Eye Street between 18th and 19th Streets. Parks Division staff assisted Public Works design team and project manager with selection of fifteen 24" box trees placed within concrete planters interspersed with new overhead and bollard lighting. The Wall Street Alley project compliments the existing Chester Avenue streetscape enhancements. A unique twist to this particular project is property owners have obligated themselves to perform all maintenance tasks. PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT Our latest addition to our equipment fleet arrived in late November. A small 4-wheel drive tractor with bucket will be used to till playground sand in order to provide suitable fall protection for youths using playground equipment. The tractor will use a spring tooth harrow with 7 tines tipped with plow shovels to lift and mm over the sand. An alternate method to roto-tilling with a larger tractor was necessary due to dust control concerns and an inability to negotiate throughout a maze of playground equipment. After testing many combinations of tractors and implements, the spring tooth harrow proved capable of meeting our needs at thousands of dollars less than some options we tested. While the tractor will attend to sand maintenance requirements, a high pressure washer will be used to clean rubberized surfacing located in certain areas of many playgrounds. JOSHUA PARK Saturday, November 2, 2002, marked the dedication for Joshua Park. Mayor Hall, councilmember Benham, Jim Clark and other representatives of Rotary Cub of Bakersfield East welcomed area residents and especially Joshua McMorris' mother, Vallerie Medford, to the unveiling of Bakersfield's newest park. Mrs. Medford and husband David made the trip from Texas to honor her young son tragically murdered and found on what would become the park site in 1995. Since then, partnerships between the Rotary Club and city of Bakersfield have moved through several obstacles to make this park a reality. A generous donation of property for the park site by A.C. Electric Company and donations of materials from manufacturer's of Toro irrigation equipment helped to minimize project cost. Joshua Park is located on Homaker Place, east of San Dimas and south of 30th Street. NEW ACREAGE No new acreage was accepted for Parks Division to undertake maintenance responsibilities during November 2002. GUEST RESERVATIONS Onset of fall not only finds leaves dropping but number of site reservations as well. November numbers were 17 reservations for approximately, 1,210 persons. As always, park site reservation numbers do not include those who utilize facilities without a formal reservation.

This matrix is a summary of activities from January 1, through September 30, 2002. As noted, most of the immediate objectives have been accomplished and two projects have been completed. The remaining goals are of longer duration and may not exhibit major changes between reporting periods. As you maybe aware, our staff meets with the City Solid Waste Staff at least semiannually. It is my belief that this is the best method to assure open and interactive communication. Therefore, with concurrence from the City of Bakersfield, the Environmental Health Services Department recommends that the matrix describing the status of the LEA regulated projects be discontinued. If significant issues arise, we will, of course, notify you and seek a course of focused communication. We appreciate the ongoing and successful efforts of City' Solid Waste Division staff toward 'regulatory compliance'.' Should you-wish further information or clarification, don't hesitate to Call.

MATLOCK, CHIEF OF POLICE~ DATE: December 9, 2002 SUBJECT: Vehicle Parked on Culiacan Avenue Council Referral No. 303 (Ward 4) Council Member Couch requested staff address a constituent complaint regarding a vehicle which has been parked on Culiacan Avenue for an extended period of time. On 11/26/02 an officer responded to 14409 Culiacan Avenue regarding a truck parked for an extended period of time. Upon arrival it was determined the vehicle had been moved approximately one week earlier. I l/vrf EWM/vrf TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: ERIC W. MATLOCK, CHIEF OF POLICI~~ DATE: December 9, 2002 SUBJECT: Morning Traffic Control on Abbott Drive Council Referral No. 281 (Ward 4) Council Member Couch referred the issue of morning traffic control on Abbott Drive to the Police Department for enforcement. Traffic Sergeant Gary Moore has monitored Abbott Drive during the morning hours approximately six times during the last four weeks. No violations were observed during the time he was present, however, the SMART trailer will be utilized in the area to remind drivers of the speed limit. In addition, Traffic Engineering surveyed the area and found that 85% of the traffic was traveling 33mph which is not considered a significant speeding problem. Staff also suggested that Traffic Engineering place a stop sign at some point along the roadway to help slow traffic. EWM/GM/vrf Cl~ MANAGER'S OFF~CE DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION AND PARKS DATE: December 5, 2002 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~ FROM: Stan Ford, Director SUBJECT: TREE WATERING IN SANTA CLARITA Ref000291 (Ward 4) Councilmember Couch requested Stan Ford contact him regarding the method of'tree watering in Santa Clarita. Staff contacted Omar Davis, Urban Forester, City of Santa Clarita to obtain more information on their tree watering. After 1989 when the city incorporated it began planting trees and today there are about 2,200 trees with no automatic irrigation system. This was a very inexpensive and quick way in which to establish a urban forest. The trees are watered by one water truck which is in operation full time during the summer and half time during the winter. The operator of this truck is required to have a commercial driver's license with special endorsements because of the 2,000 gallon tank on the truck. Mr. Davis told staff that hindsight tells them that the City would have been better off if they had installed an automatic irrigation system initially. It is now too expensive to go back in and install an automatic system plus it is not a high priority. The City now requires all street trees be watered by an automatic irrigation system. A few years ago the City of Bakersfield was watering planter areas downtown by water truck similar to the City of Santa Clarita. We experienced the same type of problems and cost that they are encountering now. We now use water hoses to irrigate the planters which is more efficient than the water trucks. Staff does not recommend the use of water trucks to irrigate our landscape areas. The labor cost, equipment and lack of efficiency are just a few reasons why the city should' keep its standard requirement of all landscape areas must have an automatic irrigation system.

I have discussed the problem of a shipping container being used as a storage building by the Red Pepper in the Northwest Promenade~ T..he Red Pepper moved a shipping container to its parking lot to store banquet supplies without approval and in violation of zoning standards that regulate the siting of shipping containers for use as storage units. In response to a complaint, staff informed the manager of the Red Pepper and the property owner that they would have to move the container to a legal place and screen it from view. They were referred to permitting staff of the Planning Division for help in preparing an application for approval. The property owner's representative has met with staff to discuss the approval process and options. Staff will contact the Red Pepper and property owner again after the first of the year to see how they would like to proceed.
