CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
January 7, 2000
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ALAN mANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The Recreation and Parks Department has again done a great job on the program and
brochure for spring. Congratulations to Stan Ford and his staff.
2. Our financial trends since budget adoption have been fairly positive. We got some
ERAF money and the booking fee reimbursement, for example. We are working on
a plan to substitute some of those for the gas tax loan incorporated into the budget.
The net effect of that action would be to restore the next five years' allocations for
-- -- street repairs, since this year's accelerated program would already be paid for. We'll
bring a plan before Council for your consideration. A more detailed memo from John
Stinson on the subject is enclosed.
3. Attached is a memorandum from Public Works which lists the projects being
recommended by a KernCOG committee for funding under the Transportation
Enhancement (mE) program. Based on these results and those from 1998, the City
is receiving only 6% of the funds available to KernCOG under this program, while we
have 35% of the population - not a very equitable distribution.
4. Best wishes to Mayor Price for a speedy recovery from his surgery earlier this week!
We visited him, and he seemed to be doing very well. He will, however, miss the next
Council meeting.
5. We are continuing to work on the concept of adding some suites to the arena. We
hope to have a report out to you within a few weeks.
6. We have received a request from Hall Ambulance for an increase in ambulance rates.
A copy of the request with the proposed fees is attached. Staffwill schedule the public
hearing.
7. In response to a management audit report done for the Kern County Waste
Management Department, staff sent them the enclosed correspondence, noting the
City's concerns and recommendations.

8. We have requested a meeting with the County to negotiate landfill fees, per the
enclosed letter. This is the issue where, if our commercial customers were on a per
ton basis, we would have significant savings to help defer rate increases and to
provide a means to finance the Panorama landfill cap.
9. A bulky item drop off day has been announced for Saturday, January 22n~. The
enclosed memo lists the locations.
10. There will be some changes in litter handling in the downtown area, beginning this
month, per the attached memo.
11. The December URM Activity Report is enclosed.

first year of the next millennium will be known as
2001 - A Recreation Odyssey.
buring the 1990's, actually in just the post two
years, the city council created the Department
of Recreation and Parks, we developed the city's
firs,-¢ver master plan for the recreation and
parks facilities and programs, completed a very
ambitious door-to-door survey of the residents,
and surveyed some of our fovori,e consumers,
students in grades 3-8.
Armed with your input, we have been able ,o
offer programs that you most wonted such os
more concerts and special events like our
incredibly popular Halloween Haunted Trail.
In October 1999, we were honored by the
No, lanai Recrea, ion and Park Associo, ion wi,h
,heir highest national marketing award. Actually,
we won two! One for best Website/Homepage and
the other for best program catalogue. We are
proud of this recognition and hope you find our stan on Graduation Day at the Disney Institute
quarterly brochure publication es informative
as the judges did.
The entire team is eager ,o continue ,o provide you.
with the quality programs and service that we have
become famous for. We enjoy hearing from you, so
please let us know if there are any ways we con
better serve you, or just tell us how we're doing.

Things are happening at
¥okuts Park
Projects completed in the fall of 1999 have
enhanced the appearance, availability, and
usage of the already popular Yokuts Park.
Five new picnic tables with a natural
look now grace the northern side of the
park along the scenic Kern River. Each
table has a seating capacity of 6 - 8 people.
Bring your favorite meal or just come and sit
at the new tables. Enjoy serenity along the
Kern River in one of our finest parks.
Since we had great success
rejuvenating the soccer field at Beach
Park, doing the same at Yokuts Park
seemed the right thing to do. The task was
not as extensive as the one at Beach Park.
Rather than having to remove and regrade
the entire soccer field, repairs were made to
areas in front of each goal and along the
north side of the field. These areas were
regraded and replaced with top-of-the line
sports sod. We are proud of our soccer
fields, and we aim to provide the best
possible fields for your enjoyment. So let the
games continue!
rYokuts Park has become so popular
with events like the Haunted Trail,
Rockin' by the River and River Front Jazz
series, and soccer games, as well as the
park's natural appeal, that additional parking
stalls were needed to accommodate the
patrons of this scenic park. The parking lot
expansion was completed last fall, so don't
be shy about packing up the kids and friends
and taking a drive to Yokuts Park. There's
plenty of parking.
New Landscaping along
osford Road
The original planting along Gosford;iRoad
consisted of Bradford Pear trees and
Oleander bushes from the mid-1980's. In
time, they outgrew the area 'provided and
began to damage the sidewalks and
irrigation system.
After some consideration and a lot of hard
work, Park Supervisors, Lee Ochoa and Nell
Tierney, came up with a solution. First, all
the existing shrubs and irrigation were
removed. Then, after repairing the irrigation
system, a careful selection of 22 small trees
and 318 shrubs were planted along the wall
north of Harris Road. The species of trees
and shrubs were spe~¥ally selected, so that
they will not outgrow their space. This
project took considerable time and expense,
so it had to be approached in phases. The
first phase consisted of re-landscaping the
wall north of Harris Road, with much
success. Phase two is in the works and will
grace the wall south of Harris Road
sometime in the spring. .~

offer. Good Job!
The maintenance responsibilities just keep Linear Pork Along
rolling in. One of the newest parkway
additions can be found along the west side Coffee Rood
of Coffee Road, just south of Hageman
Road. This 5-acre addition has plenty of
grass areas with lighted walkways and a
variety of shrub beds to grace the area. It's
a perfect addition to the northwest. The
linear park is a great place to walk, talk, and
look at the scenic landscape. It is tailored
toward the pedestrian just looking to leave
the cares of the day behind. See you there.
Lee Ochoa is the supervisor of this area.
If you have any questions or suggestions,
or would just like to compliment him and
his crew for the fine maintenance job they're
doing, please call Lee at the Department of
Recreation and Parks office, 326-FUNN.

CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
January
7,
2O00
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~J/
FROM: John W. StinsonQ~s~stant City Manager
SUBJECT: Mid-year budget/revenue adjustments and road funding alternatives.
Subsequent to the adoption of the FY 1999-2000 final city budget there have been several
significant revenue changes and state budget decisions made which have resulted in increased
city revenue.
The adoption of the state budget has resulted in the following revenue changes:
· An allocation of funds through AB 1661 the Local Government Relief Package which
allocated funds to local government for ERAF shifts on a per capita basis and based upon
the share of ERAF funds previously shifted to the state. The City Received $512,510
from the per capita ERAF share and $88,190 from the ERAF share based shift. These
funds were received in October and $199,377 of these funds have been used by Council
to replace funds used from Council Contingency. A balance of $401,323 remains
uncommitted of these funds. AB 1661 provided this ERAF relief only for the current
fiscal year so these funds should be considered a non-recurring (one time) revenue.
· The city received funds pursuant to AB 1662 for reimbursement of Booking Fees of
$714,431. This reimbursement is intended to replace funds previously shifted by the state
from local government to fund state programs. This legislation provides for a continuing
appropriation for these subventions to the city, however, since this subvention is not
currently budgeted in this fiscal year this amount should be regarded as a one time
revenue for this fiscal year. Additionally, there remains a possibility that the state could
discontinue the subvention. Therefore, it may be prudent to consider this revenue source
as one time money on an on-going basis.
S:~IO HN~I udget~Budget Options.wpd
In addition to the state budget actions, the city is receiving an unanticipated increase in motor
vehicle license fee revenue. This is due to increased vehicle sales activity over the past six
months and revenues are greater than originally estimated. This will result in approximately $1
million in additional revenue to the city. Several things should be considered regarding this
revenue source. Auto sales tend to be cyclical in nature and thereby are not a dependable
recurring revenue source. This jump in auto sales is not consistent with the normal trend for this
revenue source and may be an aberration resulting from an extremely strong economy both
locally and nationwide. Additionally, vehicle license fees have been reduced more than once by
the state and they have made up the revenue loss to cities by backfilling it with other state
revenues which are subject to economic fluxuations and the winds of political change. This
subvention by the state makes this revenue source less secure as the state could reduce it at their
discretion. Therefore, it may be prudent to consider this a one time increase in this revenue
source.
Upon reviewing the current budget and recognizing the City Council's goal of increasing the
priority and amount of funds for road repairs and improvements, it is recommend that the
additional funds noted above be used to eliminate the $2.1 million loan from the Equipment
Fund to the Gas Tax Fund. This would have several benefits. First, it would eliminate future
annual debt payments from the Gas Tax Fund of approximately $500,000 per year for the next
five years. That would free up Gas Tax monies in those future years for additional street and
road repairs, road and traffic signal construction projects. Eliminating the loan would also save
interest costs of approximately $400,000 over the life of the loan. Additionally, it is important to
have gas tax funds available to use as matching funds should state or federal transportation
monies become available.
Upon direction from you, I will prepare an administrative report for City Council approval to
appropriate these funds and amend the budget for this purpose.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2000
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
FROM:
SUBJECT: FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS
One of the elements of the newest Federal Transportation funding program (TEA-21) is called
Transportation Enhancements (TE). This program allows the local Council of Governments to
prioritize highway beautification projects and fund them accOrdingly. TEA-21 has allocated
approximately $8.6 million to the KemCOG region over its six (6) year life span.
In 1998, KernCOG decided to appropriate TE funds over a two year period with approximately
$4.3 million available for each year. In 1998, a "Call for Projects" was issued to each member of
KernCOG yielding 21 applications totaling over $9.5 million. Eleven projects were funded as
shown on the attached spread sheet entitled "1998 T. E. Project Funding". You may recall
Bakersfield submitted one project for the AMTRAK Station which did not receive funding. It
should also be noted that a committee to select these project for funding was made up of
individual KemCOG agency staff members and each of those agencies received funding.
Bakersfield was not represented on that selection committee.
Again in 1999, another "Call for Projects" was issued for TE projects. This time 32 projects
were submitted totaling nearly $17 million. To insure Bakersfield representation, Jack
LaRochelle volunteered to be on the selection committee. Based on the scoring by the selection
committee, nine (9) projects will be recommended to be funded by KemCOG as shown on the
attached spread sheet entitled "1999 T. E. Proposed Project Funding". Bakersfield submitted six
(6) projects of which only one (Downtown Streetscape Expansion $567,000) is recommended for
funding.
The attached spread sheet entitled "1998-1998 Kern County T.E. Funding Summary" indicates
how each agency has fared with TE funding over both years of the program. Please note that
Bakersfield, based on population, has not fared w.~l at all. Once again, it appears that
Bakersfield is not receiving its fair share of Feder~llNlollars coming to the region.

adoption of a resolution by the City Council setting the rates.
The proposal increases several of the rates by 4.5%, however, the rate for Advanced Life Support
(ALS) service, which makes up the majority of ambulance trips will remain the same. A copy of
the request with the proposed fees are attached. Staff will schedule the public hearing.

Dear Mr. Tandy:
This is notice of application to change the current rate schedule for ambulance services as
required by' the Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 5.10.120. We request an increase of 4.5%
for selected rates. (See attachment A.)
Our recent acquisition brought Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. certain economies of scale. The
majority of our ambulance trips in Bakersfield are Advance Life Support (ALS) transports and
Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. will be able .to maintain the ALS rate without change. The
remai'n[ng rates, for which we have requested a change, will represent only a net 1.9% increase to
Hall Ambulance. The majority of our patients are covered by Medicare, MediCal and other
managed health care groups where rates are contractually determined. As a contrast and for
information purposes, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and 'Clerical Workers
for the six (6) months ending November, 1999, shows an increase of over 10% to the CPI for
public transportation and a 4.5% increase in the CPI for medical care/hospital and related
services.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Should you have any further questions
concerning this application, please contact Jacqualine Att, Controller, at 322-1625.

SUBJECT: MANAGEMENT AUDIT OF THE KERN COUNTY WASTE MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT (KCWMD)
Attached is a letter sent to KCWMD listing our concerns and suggestions relative to their
recent management audit. The key points in our letter are:
1. Use universal collection to help defer closure costs for the Arvin Landfill by
redirecting more refuse to Bena Landfill.
2. Use universal collection as a means to reduce the number of small vehicles at metro
area landfills. This will enable the County to reduce landfill hours and save money
as mentioned in the management audit.
3. Make landfill fees more equitable by lowering bin fees and parcel fees for cities which
reduce their waste stream, as Bakersfield has done.

RE: SUGGESTED ACTIONS IN RESPONSE TO KERN COUNTY WASTE
MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AUDIT BY HILTON FARNKOPF, LLC DATED
OCTOBER 1, 1999
Dear Ms. Washington:
Following the presentation of the subject report to the Board of Supervisors (BOS) on
November 16, 1999, the City of Bakersfield (City). has considered how various issues
discussed in the report relate to the City. As a result, we would like to make suggestions
on some of these issUes, as described below. While your department has quite probably
considered the same, we feel it is important to identify the City's perspective and urge you
to include our recommendations in the report which the BOS has requested from your
department in response to the study.
1. Closure of the Arvin Landfill is approaching, and we agree with your
department's strategy of deferring this closure and its associated costs by directing
waste to the larger, regional Bena Landfill. The City helped the County achieve this
goal in 1996 by redirecting all of its contractor and municipal packer trucks from
Arvin to Bena, at considerable extra cost. Consistent with this effort, the next
logical step would be for the County to redirect thousands of small private vehicle
loads away from the Arvin Landfill, as suggested by the consultant. Because this
would have other associated costs for handling increased traffic at Bena (as
identified by your department), we offer the following suggestion to avoid these
costs. Why not eliminate most of these small vehicle loads at Arvin and other
metropolitan area landfills by implementing universal refuse collection in the
metropolitan area? This would defer the closure and associated costs at the Arvin
Landfill per the County's plan, in addition to saving operating costs at other County

landfills. This strategy would also be consistent with the opinion expressed by the
Kern County Association of Cities, at the last meeting of the Solid Waste Advisory
Committee and Local Task Force, that universal collection is needed.
2. Reduction of hours at County_ landfills would create significant savings. As
identified by the report, Kern County residents enjoy some of the longest landfill
hours and the most open days in the state. However, illegal dumping and
unauthorized use of others' refuse containers continues to be a serious health and
safety problem for the metropolitan community. It has been argued that reducing
landfill hours (to gain savings) would increase illegal dumping. However, universal
refuse collection would alleviate much of this problem.
3. Eauity of landfill fees needs to be addressed, because waste reduction and
recycling efforts have changed the amount of disposal by residents and businesses
in some jurisdictions relative to those in others. The current fees are based on
conditiOns which existed in the pre-recycling era. Kern County,s Source Reduction
and Recycling Element (SRRE) aptly noted, in 1993, that the unit price for disposal
would increase as disposal volumes decreased with greater recycling efforts. A
stable revenue stream would be necessary to cover long-term, fixed costs
associated with landfills. However, experience has shown a different outcome.
While some jurisdictions have reduced the actual amount of disposal, countywide
disposal fees have remained constant as based on old assumptions. As a result,
most jurisdictions still pay the same fiat rate while disposing of different amounts
of waste per unit of measure (i.e., per parcel of land or cubic yard of bin volume).
Thus, the "increase in unit price"anticipated in the SRRE has, in effect, been
applied without uniformity. Worse than this is the fact that the old fiat fee approach
does not reward jurisdictions for their waste reduction efforts, but rather has the
effect of penalizing them through the cost of their own recycling programs.
Inequities in both of the fiat fee structures (parcel fees and bin fees) are described
further in the following examples.
A. In 1993, County Ordinance #G-5940(5)(b) established bin fees of $2 per
cubic yard, based on countywide volume/weight averages at the time.
Section 5(c) of the ordinance requires annual confirmation of the
volume/weight studies, followed by appropriate modifications to the bin fees.
The City is not aware of any such annual confirmations, although it has
studied the volume/weight ratios of its own operation. As a result, the City
of Bakersfield and, similarly, the City of Taft, have found that refuse in
commercial bins now weighs only about 65% of what the countywide $2 per

cubic yard bin fee was originally based on. While Taft has adjusted for this
discrepancy and has saved money by changing to a weight-based method
of paying commercial landfill fees, a loss of collection efficiency is incurred
by doing so. This is because business and apartment bins must be routed
separately, as the parcel fee system precludes apartments from being
charged bin fees (per cubic yard). If bins were separately routed in
Bakersfield, this inefficiency could be compounded by haulers having to
separate some City and County routes. It would be ironic to charge both
City and County customers more for hauling in order to avoid overcharging
City businesses for disposal fees. It would therefore be more appropriate
to charge commercial bin fees based on local conditions, rather than .'
countywide averages, supported by the studies called for by Ordinance #G-
5940.
B. Bakersfield Single Family Dwellings (SFDs), which formerly disposed of
almost two tons per year each, now dispose of only one ton per year as a
result of the City's recycling programs for greenwaste and other materials.
In contrast, SFDs in other jurisdictions dispose of much greater amounts,
since there are few programs that actually recycle large amounts of material
outside of Bakersfield and the east county area. Yet, the countywide
disposal fee is the same in each case. Thus, inequity exists in uniform land
use fees for disposal. While residential land use fees are a superior
mechanism for funding County services, the fees are in need of adjustment
to account for local variations in disposal. This would be consistent with the
manner in which Multi-Unit Dwellings (MUDs) are charged lower land use
fees because they dispose of less waste than SFDs. In other words, since
MUDs pay lower land use fees than standard SFDs due to a difference in
disposal amounts, then SFDs which dispose of less waste should likewise be
charged less.
Realizing the County system must maintain a stable revenue stream as
discusSed in the SRRE, we make the following suggestion to resolve this
issue. The land use fees should include a disposal fee based on local
conditions (i.e. - average annual tonnage per residence times the cost per
ton for disposal) added to a base fee for countywide services and long-term
costs.
The changes suggested above would provide needed equity in County fees. In addition,
a true economic incentive for increased recycling would be established, as called for by
Supervisor McQuiston. Such an incentive to preserve valuable landfill disposal capacity

would be in the general interest of the public.
We agree with the consultant's opinion that the Waste Management Department performs
an important and complex public service with extended hours for public use. The report
seemed to accurately identify areas of success as well as opportunities for improvement
in the County's disposal system. However, the report lacked comprehensiveness because
it did not consider how waste collection systems (and universal collection in particular) are
a major factor in disposal system design. For example, in deciding the fate of the Arvin.
Landfill, it would be prudent to consider points addressed above. Supervisor
apparently realized this importance, because he asked whether universal collection would
'have any effect on planning for the future of the Arvin Landfill. Even though
consultant's scope of work did not include the issue of universal collection, it is nonetheless
a key question which must be addressed. It is our hope that your department's report to ·
the Board of Supervisors will be more comprehensive by including the points discussed
above. This will enable the Board to make more informed decisions on the issues of
universal refuse collection and disposal fees.
We hope this cleady presents the City of Bakersfield's input toward your future action plan.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 326-3114. Thank you
for your attention.

RE: REQUEST FOR MEETING TO NEGOTIATE LANDFILL FEES
Dear Ms. Washington:
To follow up on my letter of December 23, 1999, I would like to request a meeting with you
and your staff to discuss and negotiate a change in Bakersfield's landfill fees. In particular,
this woald involve paying a sum for commercial bin refuse which is more appropriate for
the number of tons being disposed.
As we have not been able to meet as City/County staff recently, there are other agenda
items to cover. We shoUld discuss processing greenwaste from the .County's new cart
system and look at the tonnage at Arvin Landfill reported to be from Bakersfield.
We look forward to meeting at your earliest convenience.

DATE: December 23, 1999
SUBJECT: BULKY ITEM DROP OFF DAY - SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 2000
On January 22, 2000, all city and county residents are invited to drop off unwanted
bulky items, from 8 am to noon, at these four sites:
North High School
South High School
East High School
St. John's Lutheran Church @ New Stine and Belle Terrace
Residents can get rid of old couches, chairs, refrigerators, stoves, swing sets, etc.
People can also unload car and motorcycle tires-up to a maximum of four passenger
tires per vehicle. Only passenger tires will be accepted. Truck and tractor tires must be
taken to the landfill.
The intent of bulky item days is to provide residents the convenience of discarding items
too large to put out with the regular trash, without having to drive all the way to the
landfill. This is free for city and county residents, not businesses. Therefore, regular
trash, household hazardous waste and business waste will not be accepted.
The one-day event is sponsored by the City, County and local trash haulers.
Advertising for the event will be covered by the County and the local haulers. City
workers will provide on-site coordination at two of the locations.

SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN LITTER RECEPTACLES
Please note the following changes in litter handling in the downtown area, which will occur
January 1, 2000.
Several pedestrian litter cans on the side streets off Chester Avenue will now be the
responsibility of individual businesses to empty into their regular trash bins. The Downtown
Business Association (DBA) had formerly paid for these to be emptied by the City.
However, budget constraints have caused the DBA to cease this service. Only the concrete
litter holders on side streets will be affected. This change does not apply to the wrought-
iron litter holders on the Chester Avenue Streetscape, which will continue with service paid
for by the Chester Avenue project.
