MO:pah cc: Stanley Grady, Planning director Marc Gauthier, Principal Planner BAKERSFIELD Economic and Community Development Department MEMORANDUM January 31, 2000 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~ FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Direct~r~91 ~ SUBJECT: Extension of Enterprise Zone designationX,_..,/ Our enterprise zone's 15 year designation will expire on October 14, 2001. However, our zone is eligible for a five year extension. A very detailed extension process has been established by the California Trade and Commerce Agency. This process includes submitting, 1. a detailed explanation describing the need for an extension of the zone; 2. environmental documentation, such as negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report; 3. an updated Economic Development Plan including, a. a detailed marketing plan; b. an overview of financing programs available in the zone; c. employment, job creation and vouchering services; d. planning and incentives; and e. program management, including staffing. In our department's 2000-2001 budget proposal, we plan to request funds for hiring a consultant to assist with the extension application process. To begin the extension process, the Trade and Commerce Agency needs a Letter of Intent from the City of Bakersfield agreeing to participate in the extension process and meet all of the application requirements and deadlines as outlined in the application handbook. As we discussed, we will prepare an item for City Council consideration to authorize staff to send a Letter of Intent to the Trade and Commerce Agency stating the City of Bakersfield's interest in applying for an extension of the enterprise zone. This is a non-binding letter that will not commit us to applying should our interests change. Because our zone is jointly-administered with the County of Kern, the county will also be considering such a Letter of Intent; however, our ability to proceed with the extension process is not tied to any decision by the county regarding applying for an extension. The deadline for submitting our complete application for extension is March 14, 2001. dl:S2David L~EZ extension memo to AT.wpd Economic ' ment January 27, 2000 TO: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director FROM: George Gonzale~,, ~munity Development Coordinator SUBJECT: Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment PAC Business Sub-Committee meeting, At 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 25, 2000, I received a message from Dave Cross inviting me to a PAC meeting at 1:00 p.m. that same day. I was informed that two representatives from HUD-Los Angeles would be attending. Those in attendance included: Marvin Dean, PAC Member; Dave Cross, Architect - southeast property owner; Graham Kaye-Eddie, Consultant; Bobbie Dean, southeast business owner; Adrienne Heard, southeast business owner; Ralph Anthony, southeast business owner; Gil Anthony, Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency member; Arnold Sison and Raymond Richardson, HUD representatives, Dave Strong, Supervisor Pete Parra's field representative; and Councilmember Irma Carson. Marvin Dean chaired the meeting and indicated the purpose of the meeting was to provide information for both the PAC Business Sub-Committee and a newly formed Southeast Bakersfield Business and Property Owners Association. In addition, Mr. Dean expressed that if the southeast was to thrive, similar to the Downtown Redevelopment Area, a master plan must be prepared for Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Area. According to Mr. Dean the master plan will be important in setting priorities on how the $90 million of southeast Bakersfield tax increment will be used. Mr. Dean was corrected that the estimated $90 million of tax increment would be generated over a 45 year period. Mr. KayeoEddie had volunteered to work with this group to undertake the master plan development. Mr Dean introduced the HUD representatives who identified HUD programs including Section 108, CDBG, and HOME Investment Partnership programs, that could be used, working with the City, to promote economic development in the Southeast area. dlk:P:,OEORO]~,southcas, sul:) meeting mcmo.wpd [ Mr. Cross presented his plan to develop a grocery store and other projects on his property (1400 Q Street) and surrounding parcels. Mr. Cross expressed his concern that the City had not supported this project even though Ralphs Stores/Food for Less has submitted a letter of interest for his project (attached). Mr. Strong agreed with Mr. Cross and suggested that the City should work with property owners in development their property and that courtesy be extended to Vernon Strong (store owner in southeast Bakersfield) in the City's efforts to develop a grocery store in southeast Bakersfield. Mr. Cross further stated that he had talked to Mark Briggs of Mark Briggs & Associates, Inc., a financial business consultant who specializes in preparing Section 108 loan applications for City's and County's for HUD funding for economic development projects. Mr. Briggs' most recent project for Section 108 loan was for Monterey Park for a 500,000 square foot shopping center for $6.5 million. It was noted to Mr. Cross and the group that a CDBG application for business assistance had yet to be submitted to the City for Mr. Cross' proposed grocery project, nor had the RDA received a formal application for assistance. It was further stated that until a business plan and financial information was submitted to the City showing gaps in funding, a project did not really exist for consideration. Councilmember Carson voiced her concern that all PAC members be involved in planning and development of a master plan. She also pointed out that PAC voted down a proposal to spend $25,000 on a Union Avenue business study. Further, Ms. Carson noted that the City had invited developers (Castle and Cooke, The Allen Group, and others) to submit proposals for RDA projects. It was the consensus of the group that a master plan would be a good first step in developing the southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Plan area, however, the plan should be flexible enough to allow for changes in market forces. The meeting ended at 2:40 p.m. The next planned meeting of the group is set for February 22, 2000 at 10:30 a.m. dlk:P:\GEORGE\southeast sub meeting memo.wpd BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: ALAN TANDY, City Manager FROM: RAUL ROJAS, Public Works Director DATE: January 27, 2000 SUBJECT: New Street Median Island Standard for Existing Asphalt Medians Test Section Project Locations At the Community Services Committee meeting of January 18th, it was decided to construct a couple of short test sections to provide an actual example of the proposed new standard for upgrading existing asphalt covered median islands. Staff performed a search for some existing candidate median island sections that were short, but also had some trees and irrigation systems already installed within them. The two sections that have been selected are: South H Street from Pacheco Road to Calcutta Drive (3 median island segments) California Avenue from King Street to Owens Street (2 median segments adjacent to Martin Luther King Park) For the South H Street medians, there is $15,026 in the Subdivider's Trust that was collected last year from the developer of the adjacent residential subdivision tract that will be used to help defray the cost of the South H Street medians. Parks Department personnel will upgrade the existing irrigation system as necessary for the new additional trees as soon as Streets Division personnel remove the asphalt surface, which will begin next week. cc: Jacques R.

Recently, however, daytime temperatures have been warm enough to meet specifications for paving, and the contractor for the project (Granite Construction) has requested to start the project back up. Therefore, Granite's subcontractor has begun some tree trimming along the streets where necessary to permit the grinding and paving equipment to operate. Grinding along the gutters should began the second week of February, with actual paving operations beginning the third week of February. cc: Jacques R.

Parks Division Monthly Report January, 2000 Beach Park Following decades of public use, Parks staff members have begun remodeling of playground and surrounding family picnic areas located at Beach Park. Six new picnic areas will feature concrete reinforced picnic tables with matching colored concrete floor slabs. In addition, each picnic area will include a free standing bar-b-que. New playground lighting and electrical distribution is nearly complete. Greater opportunity for mobility impaired persons to utilize this area is provided by a new walkway w. ith pedestrian curb cut from the drive loop to the playground. An A.D.^. approved drinking fountain is centrally located within the walkway. Park staff are continuing to work on installation of a playground shelter as well as installation of three new toys. Beach Park Beach Park Skate Park was dedicated by council member Jackie Sullivan on Saturday, January 29, 2000. Also participating in the opening ceremonies were Recreation and Parks Director Stan Ford as well as Community Services Citizen's Advisory Council members Alfonso Sierra and Leonard Schroeder. Matt Guerero, local skateboarding phenom, provided an incredible demonstration of skill while negotiating the pyramids, grinding rails, double half pipes, ramps and other features of the skate park. Council member Randy Rowles was also on site as hundreds of spectators and participants enjoyed Bakersfield's newest recreational facility. The 14,300 square foot concrete skate park was designed by a committee comprised of members of the community. Their desires for a street scape type of skating facility were then incorpOrated into construction documents prepared by a design build team comprised of Malibu Pacific Tennis Courts, Inc. (contractor) and Community Works Design Group (architect). City's utilization of design build process enabled this project to be completed several months sooner and at a lower cost than typical design/bid construction. Jefferson Park With assistance from General Services painting crew Jefferson Park swimming pool was put back into operation for use by various Kern County High school Swim teams. The nearly 300,000 gallon heated pool will be home to competitive swim practice and meets through early May. Jastro Park 'Due to popularity of competitive swim programs within the Kern County High School system, we were asked to explore an opportunity for providing additional aquatic facilities. With funding provided by Kern County High School District, Parks staff are preparing for installation of a new pool heater for Jastro Park pool. Once the contractor has installed the new pool heater, competitive swim programming will begin and continue through early May. Centennial Park Installed A.D.A. accessible drinking fountain within Centennial Park. Pool Assessment Study Due to age of the majority of Recreation and Parks Department's"nine public swimming pools, an assessment study was authorized to provide third party analysis of condition and ability to meet building and health and safety code requirements. By example, Beale and Jefferson pools are approximately 65 years old, with balance of pools excepting Silver Creek having been in service for 35 - 40 years. Data has been compiled based upon site visitations to all pools. Draft assessment report is currently being reviewed by Parks staff. Final analytical document pertaining to safety, accessibility and operational issues with findings, recommended mitigation measures and cost estimates is expected to be completed in early February.

ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ~Z~/ SUBJECT: STREET LIGHTING - OLDER AREAS OF THE CITY City Council Referral No. WF0018368 / 001, "Councilmember Irma Carson requested staff look into funding options and the feasibility of adding street lighting throughout the older areas of the City. Public Works to check into light outages in various locations of Ward 1." The General Services Division has upgraded or added street lighting to three areas using CDBG funds within the past three years. Staff typically reviews areas for additional lighting when specific requests are made and when new areas are annexed. In addition, a program for night inspections throughout the City, has been implemented to inspect areas for outages twice monthly. Proiect Summaries Area bounded by Owens Street, California Avenue, Lakeview Avenue, and Virginia Avenue - street light fixtures were upgraded on existing poles. This work was completed in 1997. Area bounded by White Lane, Madison Avenue, Casa Loma Street and Cottonwood/Hale - approximately 50 new street lights have been added within the past year. Of these lights seven are yet to be installed by PG&E on PG&E poles. Staff will be delivering the equipment for installation to PG&E within the next two weeks. In addition, seven on Filson Street, Carver Street, Lewis Street and Hale Street (an area of concern by Mr. Rick Peterson) have been installed but not energized by PG&E. PG&E was notified in writing November 30, 1999 to energize these lights. Staff has contacted PG&E about the situation, a definite date for service has not yet been established. This project should reach completion within the next 60 days. Area bounded by California Avenue, the railroad tracks, and Lakeview Avenue - sixteen (16) new street lights are in the process of being added. A letter to energize these will be sent to PG&E next week. This project should reach completion within the next 60 days. G:\GROUPDAT~GenSvcs\WF0018368REF.wpd --Page 1 of 2 Pages-- Due to an inquiry for additional lighting, the General Services Division has requested CDBG funds for FY 00/01 to add 57 street lights in the area bounded by California Avenue, Owens Street, Truxtun Avenue, and Kern Street. Estimated cost for this project is $80,000. Funding will be requested in FY 01/02 for a second phase of approximately 50 street lights which will extend the improvements to Brown Street. Estimated cost for the second phase is $75,000. With the budget process not yet complete we are not sure whether this project will be implemented in the next fiscal year. When installing new street lights in existing areas, General Services staff uses the guidelines set forth in the City's engineering standards for new construction. Staff also communicates with other City Departments to address any concerns they may have. c: Joe Lozano, Public Works Operations Manager Brad Underwood, General Services Superintendent G:\GROUPDAT~GenSvcs~WF0018368REF.wpd --Page 2 of 2 Pages-- BAKERSFIELD Economic and Community Development Department MEMORANDUM February 3, 2000 TO: Raul Rojas, Public Works Director FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Directo~'~,,~ SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL ITEM - STREET LIGHTING- SOUTHEAST BAKERSFIELD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA With the formation of the Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project Area, the Project Area Committee(PAC) for the Southeast has recently taken an interest in street lighting needs for the area. At the PAC meeting on November 18th, staff arranged for Frank Young of the City's General Services Division to provide information on past, current and potential future lighting projects for the Southeast Project Area. He also discussed street lighting standards used throughout the city. A subcommittee of the PAC, led by Mr. Ricky Peterson, reviewed a majority of the Project Area for adequacy of existing street lighting. At the PAC meeting on December 16th, the subcommittee made a report that, in their opinion, most of the area needed additional street lights and the existing lights needed higher wattage bulbs. The PAC made a motion t©'adopt the subcommittee's proposal with staff to review and return with recommendations to the PAC. Since that time staff has been working with General Services on street lighting issues in the Southeast by: A) evaluating the need for additional lights or higher wattage bulbs based on current City street light standards; B) coordinating a drive through of the Project Area to determine which lights are not operating and scheduling their repair or replacement; and C) determining what additional funds (tax increment, CDBG or others) are available for more streets lights in the Project Area Staff has reviewed the comments made by Mr. Peterson at the City Council meeting of January 26t~. In these comments, Mr. Peterson said, "the Agency is in support of this street lighting project." As a point of clarification, we believe Mr. Peterson may have been referring to the PAC, because a street lighting plan for the Southeast has not come before the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency for any consideration. Again the action taken by the PAC was for staff to work with General Services and bring recommendations back to the PAC. Also Mr. Peterson mentioned that daytime drive-by shootings are retaliation for night-time drive-by shootings that occur because of insufficient street lighting. Staffwill consult with the Police Department in an effort to secure their expert advice on the contribution increased lighting may make in reducing drive-by shootings and in assisting in the prioritization of possible street lighting projects.

Four (4), street lights on the westbound traffic lane. C. Area covers a distance of 1 mile. I found the lighting in this area to be inadequate, which reflects poor lighting in a business area. Also, the lighting between Madison & Cottonwood Road on Watts Drive, is in my opinion sub-standard and needs improvement. Brighter lights can cut down on crime in the area. On 11/18/99 during a regular scheduled meeting the Community Relations Sub-Committee was directed to' prepare a report on the Southeast Bakersfield Project Area Street Lighting and Infrastructure Proposal. A Sub-Committee meeting was scheduled for 12/9/99, 6:30pm to 7:30pm at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center. The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm.

Box 12616 Fresno, CA 93778-2616 Attn: Bart Bohn, Director RE: STATE ROUTE 58 CONNECTION TO STATE ROUTE 99 Dear Mrl Bohn: On January 26, 2000, a report was presented by staff to the City Council regarding status of the Route 58 project. One of the elements c~)ntained in the report was how the Route 58 facility will connect to Route 99. In addition, it was indicated that a Project Study Report will be necessary to determine the best option · for this connection. Several alternative connection scenarios were presented to the Council including a direct connection through the Westpark area of Bakerfield. It is our understanding that CalTrans is once again considering this alternative. You may recall this option was considered a number of years ago by CalTrans but was quickly rejected due to extensive public opposition. I have been asked by the entire City Council to write to you and once again reiterate our strong opposition to the Westpark alternative. Although it appears to solve a problem for CalTrans due to interchange spacing, it is extremely disruptive to a very large and vital residential and commercial area within the City. Furthermore, the City will not support this option in any way which I know is a key element when deciding freeway alignments for CalTrans. Thank you for your consideration.

A traffic speed survey shows that 85 percent of the traffic on Alta Vista Street is traveling at 42 miles per hour or less. The official speed limit on the street is 35 miles per hour. Traffic averages a speed of 39 miles per hour. The high average speed and the high 85th percentile speed data indicates that there is substantial speeding on this street. More than ten percent of the traffic volume is exceeding 45 miles per hour on this 35 mile per hour street. The greatest number of speeding violations are occurring between the hours of 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., the normal commuting period and the time when school children may be walking to nearby schools. This information is been given to the Police Department to aid in enforcing the current speed limit.

Category: PUBLIC WORKS TasK: RESPONSE TO REFERRAL Assigned Department: PUBLIC WORKS START DATE / / COMPLETION DATE FEB' '3 2000 MEMORANDUM February 3, 2000 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Florn Core--sources Director SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL REFERRAL (MAGGARD - WARD N° 3) WF0018364 CONCERNING DISCOLORED WATER AND CAUSE This memorandum is in response to Councilmember Mike Maggard's referral of January 26, 2000 concerning the issue of discolored water and the cause in portions of the northeastern area of the City. The discoloration of water in certain areas of the northeast Bakersfield is a reoccurring problem that California Water Service Company (Cal Water) has identified and is working on a permanent solution. The heavily effected area is approximately bounded by Union Avenue, Bernard Street, Monterey Street and Mt. Vemon Avenue. Roughly ½ of the area is unincorporated. This neighborhood has had a history of some discolored water developing during the hot summer demands and in severe drought periods, when local groundwater wells were used to supplement treated surface water. The source of this discoloration was from the groundwater wells that have been used in the past. The discoloration is elemental manganese and iron dissolved in the water and is naturally present in the groundwater aquifer in this locale. Under California State Health Department regulations, the presence of manganese and iron is not a health hazard under the "Mandatory Health-Related Standards", but are considered and regulated under "Aesthetic Standards" for appearance, taste and odors. There is no doubt as to the objectionable color of the water and it can cause staining of clothing during the washing process. City staff met with Mel Byrd, Bakersfield District Manager for Cai Water on this matter. Mr Byrd conveyed that Cai Water has implemented several interim fixes and is working on a long term solution. The first action instituted four years ago, was to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of the groundwater wells in the area that were determined to be producing the manganese and/or iron. This required that other Cai Water well production and additional treated surface water sources be brought in to the area. The local water wells were not abandoned, but were set to operate under emergency conditions, such as fires or disasters. The results were the water cleared and customer complaints dropped dramatically. The next step in the program was to systematically flush the distribution water mains by opening fire hydrants in the area to attempt to clean out any accumulations of manganese or iron in the pipes. The water distribution system in this older area of the City has for the most part, MEMORANDUM CITY COUNCIL REFERRAL WF0018364 February 3, 2000 Page - 2 - 4" diameter cast iron or steel water pipes, both of which can tend to retain build-up of minerals over time. The mains were flushed and subsequently, very few complaints were logged on the problem. Customers were advised to flush their water lines in their homes. Recently, a few customer complaints as to discoloration of water in the same area were brought to the attention of Cai Water. It was determined that there were pockets of the problem, most likely residual from the build-up that was not completely flushed before. Also, unauthorized use of fire hydrants in the area had caused sudden pressure surges and flow shifts, jarring the manganese/iron loose. Cal Water has again started a main flushing program that is being performed at night when system demands are lowest. This has reduced the instances of discoloration. In the course of the main flushing, the discolored water in the streets or gutters is not a public health hazard. The water lost during this process is minimal in comparison to the overall system water use, has been determined to be the least disruptive to continuous water service to customers and the most efficient method to clear the problem. Mr. Byrd indicated that Cai Water will be sending a notification letter, separate from a billing "stuffer", to customers in and around the effected area during the week of February 7, 2000. The letter is to inform customers of the problem, assure that the water does not pose a health threat and the multiple steps being taken to resolve the matter. A longer range solution will be the inclusion of the Northeast Bakersfield Water Supply Project in distributing high quality treated Kern River water to the northeastern sections of the City. This will allow complete closure of the water wells that are the cause of the problem. If additional information is needed or you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

On Jan. 26, 2000, the City Council conducted a public hearing regarding a proposed increase in ambulance rates. The new rates are scheduled to take effect on Apdl 9, 2000, upon adoption by the City Council of a resolution setting rates. The following proposed rates are recommended to change: basic life support $357, an increase of $15; mileage $16, an increase of one dollar; night charge $70, an increase of three dollars; and emergency response $52, an increase of two dollars. Item 8d. Resolution of Application proposing proceedings for annexation of property located along the north side of Rosedale Highway, west of Freeway 99.. The proposed annexation consists of approximately 20 acres of land located along the north of Rosedale Highway west of Freeway 99. The property owner has consented to annexation and wishes to receive City services. HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL February 4, 2000 Page -2- Agreements: Item 8f. Multi-Agency Aerial Imagery Co-Operative Aqreement with Kem COG, appropriations and transfer of funds related thereto. The City relies upon up-to-date aerial photography to perform their day to day work activities. With the City growing as quickly as it has, Bakersfield must have its aerial photographs updated on a regular basis. Approximately 18 agencies in Kern County are collaborating to share the cost of digital aerial imagery of the Kern County area. Collaborating produces a reduced price for each agency. The City's share is estimated at $67,200, and Kern County is contributing the equivalent of $72,000. If the City were to obtain the imagery for the metropolitan area by itself, the cost would exceed $200,000. Staff made efforts to work with private firms who were interested in joining our effort; however, those efforts did not produce cost-effective results. This item also appropriates funds from the Transportation Development Fund (37,200), Sewer Enterprise Fund ($20,000), and the Agricultural Water Fund ($10,000) to pay for the aerial photographs. Item 8g. Agreement with Fruitvale Properties LLC to purchase real property at the southwest corner of Coffee and Norris Roads for $73,000 for a domestic water storage tank site. The domestic water storage tank and booster pump facility is necessary in the northern portion of the Riverlakes area to provide adequate storage and water supply due to the growth in the Northwest. The facility comprises 3.06 gross acres. The purchase price of $73,000 is based on an MAI appraisal and is consistent with sales of comparable properties in the area. On December 2, 1999, the Planning Commission found the acquisition of this property consistent with the 2010 General Plan. Item 8h. Kern River Parkway Property Acquisition Purchase Agreement for $118,000 with Delvin Dwight McDonald and Betty L. McDonald and to acquire real property located west of Coffee Road between the Cross Valley Canal and the Kern River Channel. The property consists of six acres and provides another link to the equestrian trail running along the north side of Kern River. The purchase is being funded with proposition 204 funds obtained through the efforts of the City, Kern River Parkway Committee, and others. The State Department of Fish and Game is responsible for administering the funds. The purchase price of $118,000 was established by an independent appraisal. On February 3, 2000, the Planning Commission found this acquisition consistent with the 2010 General Plan. Item 8i. Agreement with BHA Properties LLC to purchase real property_ located at 10418 Crandon Park Drive for $25,000 to expand an existing water well site. In November 1997, the City purchased a single-family lot at the southeast corner of Verdugo and Brimhall to construct a domestic water well. After the water well was completed, Water Resources determined it would be necessary to install a water quality treatment facility, which would not fit on the existing property. Consequently, the City is purchasing the adjacent lot which contains approximately 7500 square feet for this purpose. The owner, B.H.A. Properties, LLC, will be responsible for all off-site improvements as set forth in the purchase agreement. The purchase price of $25,000 is based . on a certified appraisal and is consistent with sales of comparable properties in the area. On January 20, 2000, the Planning Commission found the acquisition of this property consistent with the 2010 General Plan. HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL February 4, 2000 Page -3- Item 8j. Contract with Select Temporary Services for temporary employees. On October 20, 1999, the City Council approved an RFP for the provision of all temporary City employees through a professional temporary employee agency. This action followed a three-month pilot program using a professional temporary agency to supply employees to three divisions of Public Works. There are some significant problems associated with our current practice of hiring temporary employees. First, the City Charter limits temporary employees hired through the City to 960 hours per year, after which we are required to terminate the employee. This continued recruitment cycle means increased medical examination costs, constant orientation and training, and significant disruption for departments that employ these workers. Second, there are significant insurance expenditures associated with temporary employees hired by the City. Workers' compensation costs for temporary employees are rising; in fact, our largest workers' compensation claims involve City-hired temporary employees. We also find that City-hired temporary employees neadng the end of their 960-hour limit are more likely to file claims against the City. Staff developed an RFP and sent it to 20 agencies in Kern County who appeared qualified to supply our job classifications. The top three agencies, Select Personnel Service, Manpower, and Adecco were interviewed. Staff unanimously recommends Select Personnel Services to provide all temporary employee needs. Select Personnel Services has the flexibility to modify pay rates to meet any of our hard to fill positions. The City will receive a discount on the markup for employees the City refers to them who are subsequently hired. S.E.I.U. has been informed throughout this process and pilot program, and does not object to the use of a temporary agency for temporary hires. Item 8k. Amendment No. I to Agreement No. 98-300 - City Attorney's Contract. This contract amendment implements changes to the City Attorney's contract in accordance with the annual evaluation of Bart Thiltgen, City Attorney, on January 26, 2000. This amendment includes a salary increase to $10,000 per month retroactive to January 18, 2000. Item 81. Amendment No. 1 to Aqreement No. 99-325 for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for concurrent General Plan Amendment/Zone Change P99-0647. On December 15 1999, the City entered into agreement with Porter-Robinson Engineering and Surveying, Inc., for the preparation of an environmental impact report for a project located between Paladino Drive, Highway 178, and Morning Drive. The property owners have requested that Porter-Robinson be replaced with Mountain View Bravo LLC. The amendment to the agreement also clarifies that the cost of services may be made in three installments. Bids: Item 8m.

Staff received nine acceptable bids, and recommends award to Halopoff and Sons. Item 8p. Award Annual Contract to Bakersfield Laundry for laundry service for the Fire Department, not to exceed $19,392 per year. Staff received one acceptable bid, and recommends award to Bakersfield Laundry. This contract is for one year, with two one-year extensions at the City's option. Item 8q. Bid award to Elite Landscaping, Inc. for construction of irrigation, landscaping improvements and water features for Bakersfield Amtrak Station, and irrigation and landscaping improvements for Q Street Underpass in the amount of $809,688, and appropriations related thereto. Staff received two acceptable bids, and is recommending the award to Elite Landscaping, Inc. In addition to awarding bid, staff is appropriating $500,000 of TEA funds to the Capital Improvement Budget within the Amtrak Fund, and $600,000 for the Q Street Grade Separation project in the Capital Improvement Budget within the Gas Tax Fund to pay for irrigation, landscaping, and water features. The appropriation amount in excess of the bid award is to pay for reimbursable expenses for the project paid by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. This is the last major construction contract for these two projects. Miscellaneous: Item 8r. Revised Job Specification: Assistant Finance Director. The resignation of the Assistant Finance Director has prompted the need to recruit a replacement. Because the job specification has not been updated since 1984, the Finance Director has recommended changes prior to announcing a recruitment. The major change in the job description adds a master's degree in business or public administration experience. The job specification will be presented before the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their regular meeting on February 15, 2000. There is no budgetary impact because the salary will remain the same. HEARINGS Item 9a. General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for property located at the northwest corner of Nodega Road and Jewetta Avenue. The 56-acre site located northwest of Jewetta Avenue and Noriega Road is in agricultural use, consisting of an almond orchard, and a farm dwelling and related structures at the southeast corner. The recently developed Polo Grounds residential community borders the site on the east and south sides. An elementary school site is being developed by the Rosedale Union School District south of the site, at the southwest corner of Jewetta Avenue and Noriega Road. The North Bakersfield Recreation and Parks District is planning the development of a 40-acre community park and recreation facility. Al~ public services and facilities impacted by the project can be mitigated in accordance with the requirements of HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL February 4, 2000 Page -5- affected governmental agencies. There was no public testimony regarding this proposal during the Planning Commission hearings. The Planning Commission recommended approval of General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on December 16, 1999. Item 9b. General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for property located on the west side of Renfro Road, south of Johnson Road, on the north side of the future Kern River Freeway alignment. The site consists of an undeveloped remnant area on the west-side of Renfro Road south of Johnson Road alongside the boundary of the future Kern River Freeway right-of-way. This remnant was thought to be needed for an interchange. The property was part of an annexation completed in 1991, which included a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. Since that time, the interchange at Renfro Road has been dropped, and the applicant wishes to extend the existing zoning and utilize this five acres in an adjacent residential subdivision. No opposition or public controversy related to the request was expressed during the public hearings. Staff has determined the project to be exempt from the provisions of CEQA because the proposed land-use amendment and zone change constitutes a minor extension of existing designations. No other environmental concerns were raised during the hearing process, and the applicant is in agreement with the conditions of approval. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment and planned commercial development on December 16, 1999. REPORTS Item 10a. Legislative and Litigation Committee Report No. 1-2000 relating to Use of Electric Bikes on the Bike Path. At the Legislative and Litigation Committee meetings on January 20 and January 31, 2000, the committee discussed the use of electrical bikes on the bike path. They reviewed information provided by residents who encourage electric bike use on the bike path as well as those who were opposed. The committee recommended making no changes in the City's ordinance at this time. Staff was directed to explore the possibilities for using electric bikes on City streets, and to contact Kern COG to determine if having motorized vehicles on the bike path would jeopardize future funding. Item 10b. Legislative and Litigation Committee Report No. 2-00 relating to Procedures for Placing an Item on the Council Agenda. This item was reviewed by the committee on January 20th and January 31st. The procedures currently in place include the following; 1) any Council member can place an item on the agenda by notifying the City Manager's Office prior to the deadline for agenda reports, 2) information should be submitted eight working days prior to a scheduled Council meeting, 3) the City Clerk's Office prepares a draft agenda, which is then reviewed by the City Manager and Department Heads on the Tuesday after the Friday deadline, and 4) the packet is sent to the pdnter on Thursday for distribution to Council on Fdday. The current schedule allows staff adequate time for preparation and flexibility to add late items while still meeting the requirements of the Brown Act. The committee recommends the report be received and filed. Item 10c. Urban Development Committee Report No. 1-00 regarding Borba Dairy DevelOpment. At the Urban Development Committee meeting of January 31, 2000, numerous comments were received from speakers, both in favor and opposed to the proposed dairy project. Committee members expressed concerns that there were a number of unanswered questions that needed HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL February 4, 2000 Page -6- to be addressed before a recommendation could be made to the full Council. It was requested that staff provide additional background information on the impacts on air quality, water quality, and odor control; possible relocation to another site; the approval process; the implications to the 2010 General Plan; and the maximum number of cows allowed at the site. It was suggested a workshop format before the entire Council would be the best way to present the information to the Committee as well as the entire Council in order to promote a well informed decision. The Committee recommends a Council workshop be scheduled for February 23, 2000, on the Borba Dairy development with 20 minutes each for the proponents and opponents to make presentations regarding the project. The Urban Development Committee will meet on February 28, 2000, to further discuss the project and bring back a recommendation to the Council on the issue at the March 15, 2000 Council meeting. The Committee recommends acceptance of the report. DEFERRED BUSINESS Item 11a. Discussion and policy direction regarding Councilmember attendance at committee meetings when not a member of the committee and associated Brown Act noticinq requirements. During the Council meeting of December 12 1999, the question was posed as to whether a City Council member who was not an appointed member of a standing committee could legally attend a meeting of that committee. A response was provided that a Council member could legally attend, but only as an observer and could not participate in meeting. Subsequently, at the Council meeting of January 12, 2000, Council member Maggard requested this issue come before the Council for full discussion. Due to potential confusion that could exist, a revised City Attorney opinion on the subject has been prepared reflecting the 1997 change to the Brown Act. This matter was deferred from the January 26th City Council meeting. NEW BUSINESS Item 12a. Ordinance adding Section 12.56.055 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to Expulsion. Recently there have been several incidents at City recreation facilities where incidents of verbal abuse, and inebriated individuals have caused problems. Also, incidents such as fighting or throwing objects required the police to be called to remedy the situation. However, there is nothing to prevent these individuals from returning immediately thereafter. Therefore staff proposes the attached ordinance which permits the expulsion of individuals who were being disruptive or jeopardizing safety systems in City own recreational facilities. The ordinance authorizes the Director, Assistant Director, Pool Managers, and head lifeguards to expel individuals that disrupt the reasonable peace and enjoyment of others. There is no limit on the number of times an individual may be expelled on the ordinance, but the expulsion is limited to 24 hours after the incident. Item 12b. Ordinance amending Section 2.28.090 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to the Board of Zoning Adjustment. The proposed amendment to the Municipal Code eliminates the City Attorney's Office from membership, whether as a member or as an alternate, on the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Since the City Attorney is required to provide legal advice to the City Council in the event of an appeal from a decision of the Board of Zoning Adjustment, it would create an apparent conflict of interest (even if no actual conflict exists) if a member of the Board of Zoning Adjustment, or an alternate member, were to be from the City Attorney's office. Staff is recommending the appointment of a member and an altemate from the Economic and Community Development Department as a replacement for the City Attorney's Office member and alternate. The Legislative and Litigation Committee recommends first reading of the ordinance. HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL February 4, 2000 Page -7- Item 12c. 2000 Legislative Platform. The Legislative and Litigation Committee met on January 31, 2000 to review the 1999 platform and suggest changes for the year. The changes include adding urban development as an item under support for legislation which promotes safe, efficient, cost-effective, and responsible management of various environmental components; supporting legislation which provides increased funding of cultural, recreation, and open space programs; supporting legislation or a constitutional amendment which provides permanent fiscal relief for cities in light of the state budget surplus; and opposing legislation which intrudes into the City's collective bargaining and rights.
