SUBJECT: Sally Ihmels, Recreation Supervisor
During the council workshop June 14, 2000, I mentioned that Sally Ihmels,
Recreation Supervisor, had recently been notified of her selection to the
University of Nevada - Las Vegas Athletic Hall of Fame. Attached is a copy
of the notification letter that Sally received.
I am told that Sally, along with a former member of the UNLV men's
swimming team, are the first swimmers to earn this recognition. Other
inductees in this class of 2000, include the UNLV 1989-90 men's basketball
team which I believe won the NCAA championship and featured several
soon-to-be NBA stars. To be honored with accomplished athletes such as
these is obviously very special. During her career, Sally earned All America
honors seven times and qualified twice for the United States Olympic Trials.
During her short time with the city, Sally has contributed greatly to not only
the aquatics program, for which she was hired to supervise, but also has
volunteered to assist with the development of the first comprehensive
orientation and training program for new employees and with the city's
employee incentive committee. The improvement of the aquatics program
under Sally's direction and supervision was noted to the council by Ron
Rhinehart, Vice President of Jeff Ellis & Associates, Inc., when he presented
the city with the Ellis & Associates national aquatic safety award for 1999.
Working with Sally is a pleasure for many of us. She is energetic, dedicated,
and driven to provide quality programs and service to all citizens of
Bakersfield.as well as her co-workers. On several occasions, I have
received compliments about Sally from the staff of other city departments.
She is truly a professional and her leadership and commitment to her work
serves as a role model for all of us. Based on her performance in her current
position, it is easy to understand why she also excelled during her swimming
career.
The city is fortunate to have Sally as an employee and we are very proud of
the upcoming honor she will be receiving.

FROM: Stan Ford, Director of Recreation and Parks
SUBJECT: Aquatics Safety Audit
On June 19, 2000, we had our first aquatics operational safety audit of the
season. These "surprise" audits are conducted by the aquatics risk
management firm of Jeff Ellis and Associates, Inc.
It is my pleasure to report that the staff earned an overall evaluation of
"above standards" and the performance of the lifeguards was judged to
"exceed standards." In fact, each of the four lifeguards audited earned a
perfect score of 100. 'A copy of the overall audit evaluation is attached.
This performance by the staff is another indicator of the continuing trend of
improvement in our aquatics program. Sally Ihmels, supervisor, and Holly
Larson, specialist, have continued to enhance the operational efficiency of
the aquatics program, while at the same time addressing the new challenges
that face the industry (see related article from USA Today, attached). This
year, while also making the transition to a temporary employment service, we
have had to deal with many new staff, several of whom are in the workforce
for the first time. I believe that this makes the staff's audit performance even
more impressive.
A major factor in achieving this type of performance, is the intensive training
program that Sally and Holly have designed and implemented. The result of
this training is a staff that is better prepared to deal with emergencies and
more confident that they can provide a safe environment. At the same time,
they are able to meet our goal of a ensuring a friendly and fun place for the
citizens of Bakersfield to spend there leisure time.
Obviously, Sally and Holly did not accomplish this alone. This year we have
six new trainers who contributed greatly to the program. They are Jeff
Bogart, Molly McCauley, Amber Ochoa, David Stricker, Mac Robertson, and
Josh Romine. We are fortunate to have these individuals as well as the
support of the Ellis program and staff.
They city and Bakersfield residents should be very proud of our entire
aquatics staff and we are fortunate to have leaders like Sally and Holly.

Subject: trees for Bakersfield
To City Council members:
The Bakersfield Californian has suggested in an editorial today that a
formal tree-planting strategy should be developed and implemented. This is
an excellent idea and you should also consider a moratorium on tree cutting
as is presently done throughout the city. As a resident of Pinewood Lake, I
personally am surrounded by beautiful trees (as is my neighbor Jacquie
Sullivan). But I find it rather disheartening to leave the gates of our
community. Therefore, please cast my vote for a formal tree-planting and
tree-cutting policy for Bakersfield.

Dear Ms. Conger:
I received a copy of the e-mail that you sent to the city council and I want to thank you
for your interest in our urban forest management plan.
Although I am not familiar with the editorial you referenced, hopefully, it included
information about our efforts to ensure a safe and healthy urban forest.
In the event that the information in the Bakersfield Californian was incomplete or
inaccurate, I would like to make you aware of the some of the work the Department of
Recreation and Parks has done related to the city's urban forest.
During the Citizens Community Services Advisory Committee meeting of February 8,
2000, staff presented to the committee a pruning strategy for trees and shrubs. If you
are not familiar with this group, this committee is comprised of citizens who advise the
city council on matters relating to the department and also serves as the city's Tree
Board. For your information, I have attached a copy of the pruning strategy that was
presented to the committee. After discussion, the committee voted unanimously to
approve the strategy.
On April 12, '2000, staff made a presentation to the city council on urban forest
management. As part of our presentation, staff provided the council with letters of
support for our urban forest management plan which included the removal of trees in
the downtown area. Letters were received from the Tree Foundation of Kern, the
University of California Cooperative Extension, Turf "n" Trees, and ACRT
Environmental Specialists. Without exception, each of these groups supported our plan
for responsible forest management in the urban setting.
As part of our plan, we will be instituting a public education program that includes
helping citizens understand the importance of tree maintenance and removal. To assist
in successfully implementing this component of the plan, the department will, with
approval in the budget, hire the city's first professional urban forester. We currently
have two certified arborists on staff and the addition of an urban forester will enhance

our management of Bakersfield's urban forest.
I would also like to note that for each of the past three years, the city has earned
designation from the National Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA. This
recognition is something that the staff takes great pride in and we believe, based on
comments we have received, the citizens do also. In 1999, our program earned the
foundation's Growth Award.
Again, I would like to thank you for your interest and I am happy to be able to report that
our pro-active approach in maintaining a healthy urban forest resulted in a
recommended strategy several months prior to the suggestion in the newspaper.
If you need additional information or if I can be of further assistance, please call me at
326-3014.
Sincerely,
Start Ford, Director

cuts. Heading cuts should be rarely used on mature trees, yet may be
appropriate for specific purposes such as; training young trees, ·
pollarding, shaping terminal flowering of trees, and storm damage
repair. A heading cut should consist of cutting a currently growing
or one year old shoot back to a bud, or cutting an older branch or
stem back to a stub or lateral branch not sufficiently large enough to
assume the terminal role.
b. Thinning or thinning out
The thinning opens the foliage of a tree, reduces weight on heavy
limbs, can reduce tree's height, distributes ensuing invigoration
throughout a tree and helps retain the tree's natural shape. Thinning
cuts are usually the preferred method of tree pruning.
A thinning cut shall consist of the removal of a lateral branch at its
point of origin or the shortening of a branch or stem by cutting to a
lateral large enough to assume the terminal role. When removing a
lateral branch at its point of origin on the trunk or parent limb, the
final cut shall be made in the branch tissue close to the trunk or
parent limb, without cuffing in to the branch bark ridge or collar, or
leaving a stub.
When removing a leader or length of a branch, the angle of the cut
should bisect the angle between the branch bark ridge and an
imaginary line perpendicular to the leader being removed. When
removing a dead branch, the final cut shall be made just outside the
collar of live tissue. It the collar has grown out along the branch
stub, only the dead stub should be removed. The live collar shall
remain intact and uninjured.
Making the pruning cut
a. Positioning the cutting blade on small limbs
Location of the cut must be above the branch collar and the reason
why.
b. Saw cuts on large limbs
The three cut step method
c. No flush cuts and the reason why.
Structural Strength
a. Wide angled branch attachments are stronger
Problems associated with narrow angle attachment
b. Tapered trunks will withstand greater stress
c. Temporary lower branches will strengthen the trunk and protect a
young tree.
Training young tree
a. Understand the growth habits of the tree variety you are pruning.
b. Minimal pruning the first few years.
c. Branches selected for permanent scaffolds.
d. Height of the lower limbs is determined by the use of the tree.
e. Proper selection of vertical branch spacing.
f. Radial branch distribution.
gh' Pinching growing points.
· Bud selection when making cuts.
i. Temporary branch selection.
j. Tree with a central leader should be pruned to remove any double
leaders.
Pruning mature trees
Reasons for pruning mature trees
a. Tree health and appearance
b. It can remove new or holdover disease sources of some diseases.
c. Remove broken, Iow, and crossing limbs for safety and appearance.
d. Open the top of the tree to light so interior leaves, and branches can
stay healthy
e. Improve air circulation and minimize wind resistances.
f. Moderate thinning to open up the tree to view.
g. Size control by cutting branches to lower laterals (drop crotching)
without heading back (topping). Pruning back to a lateral that is one-
third the size of the leader that is being removed does this. The
process shall not reduce the leaf area by 30%.
Time of pruning
a. Light pruning can be done any time.
b. Heavy pruning should be done in the fall or winter.
c. To retard tree development prune when growth is about complete
which would be late spring to middle summer.
d. Rapid plant development can best be maintained if the required
pruning is done before the period of rapid growth usually occurring in
the spring.
e. Corrective pruning is done during the growing season.
f. Bleeding of pruning wounds can be heavy in certain mature trees;
cuts should be smaller than 3" and done in the fall or early winter.
g. Heavy pruning of evergreens during winter month should be avoided;
stimulation of new growth could result in freeze damage.
Shrub pruning or trimming
a.-Shrub pruning is to cut out dead wood and sometimes to free the
plant of pest or disease ridden material.
b. Pruning is to correct or shape plants when desired height has been
achieved.
c. Some shrubs pruning will maintain or improve flower displays.
d. No heading cuts to drastically lower or change the shape of the plant.
e. Allow the shrub to grow to a desired height.
f. Trim the shrub to a preferred shape.
g. To retain the shape of the desired shrubs remove new shoot growth.

SUBJECT: Park Improvement Fund Balances and Types of Expenditures
Attached is a table which provides Park Improvement Fund balances for acquisition and
development by zone of benefit. A map indicating the city's six zones of benefit is
attached. In general, monies may be expended only for the benefit of zone residents for
real property purchase (in the case of the acquisition funds) and improvements to new park
sites such as irrigation, landscaping, and playground equipment (in the case of
development funds.) Council may also approve expenditures to improve existing parks.
In zones where no new parks are expected to be built, all available funding, whether
collected for acquisition or development, may be used for improvements to existing parks.
The FY 99/00 approved and FY 00/01 proposed Capital Improvement Budget features
projects which use Park Improvement Funds to improve existing parks. Other sources of
funding are also utilized to improve parks, such as CDBG and grant funds.

DATE: June 22, 2000
SUBJECT: LANDSCAPE MEDIAN ISLAND STANDARDS
Council Referral WFO018491 / O01, Maggard
Councilmember Mike Maggard requested staff to explore alternatives to the minimum
landscape standards for median islands that would be less expensive and to report back
to Council.
Staff has explored other alternatives that would be less expensive than the minimum standard'
design previously approved by Council, but most alternatives that are less expensive to install
have higher maintenance costs.
Councilmember Maggard mentioned using wood chips from the GreenWaste facility as a
groundcover while still maintaining the perimeter (18" along each side)colored concrete edging.
The cost for this type of median island treatment, if no trees were added to the median island,
would be about $125,000 per mile. If trees were added, the cost would, be about $170,000 per
mile.
If Council desired to further explore this alternative, staff would recommend that another
"demonstration project" be installed along a short section of existing median island so that
installation and maintenance issues using wood chips as a groundcover could be studied.

DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION AND PARKS
DATE: June 21, 2000
TO: John Stinson, Assistant City Manager
FROM: Stan Ford, Director of Recreation and Parks
SUBJECT: Council Referral Response
I was contacted the week of May 29, 2000 by Lesley Kirk, editorial director
at KERO-TV, regarding an upcoming editorial. I provided her with the
information she requested. She offered the department a chance to
respond. I requested a copy of the editorial so that I could view it and
determine our response. As of today, I still have not received that video
tape.
During our conversation, Ms. Kirk mentioned that the reason for the editorial
was that during the filming of a previous editorial, Don Lundy, the general
manager of the station, had fallen off a piece of the Par Course equipment.
That experience prompted the new editorial.
Approximately one week after our conversation, I received what appears to
be a transcript of the editorial. In it, Mr. Lundy describes this piece of
equipment as "really dangerous" and then makes the leap to 200,000 kids
that are injured and the fifteen that are killed annually in playground-related
accidents.
Mr. Lundy appropriately recognizes that this equipment is not designed for
children. He fails to mention the potential for misuse of this, or any
equipment in a park setting, or the responsibility of adults to ensure that
children do not use equipment not designed for them.
RECEIVED
' CITY MANAGER'S OFFIC!.-'.
The editorial also fails to mention that a sign, demonstrating the proper use
of the equipment, is adjacent to the equipment. If a person possesses the
basic coordination and motor skills necessary for jogging and follows the
posted directions, there should be no reason for that person to fall.
Mr. Lundy also challenges the department to "come up with some official
park course safety guidelines." Although I think I understand the intent, I
believe that in the absence of national guidelines or standards, that our
practice of using the Consumer Product Safety Commission, American
Society of Testing Materials, and American with Disabilities Act guidelines
and regulations is appropriate. The established guidelines adequately cover
basic safety considerations such as entrapment, protrusion, and
entanglement. For the department to attempt to develop guidelines that
differ from the manufacturer's recommendations or conflict with those of
agencies that specialize with equipment safety, may be inappropriate.
This item was discussed at the last Citizens Community Services Advisory
Committee meeting. During that discussion, it was pointed out that the
department should not remove equipment simply because of one person's
inability to properly use that equipment. Also, if we remove all equipment
that was designed for adults and that children without adequate supervision
might use, we would have to remove all of this equipment throughout the
city. This action would result in penalizing all adults because of a few
individuals that do not carry out their responsibility for their children's safety.
The committee recommended that the department continue with our current
goal of safety as the first priority for all programs and facilities. Also, that we
continue with our inspection and maintenance program for all of the Par
Course and playground equipment.

DATE: June 21, 2000
SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL WF0018513/001, WARD 4, 23 EDITORIAL - BIKE
PATH.
"'COUCH REFERRED THE 23 EDITORIAL ON THE SAFETY OF THE TRUXTUN
EXTENSION BIKE PATH."
The bike path along the west end of Truxtun was built to the standards of safety of the
State of California Manual of Bikeway Planning and Design. This manual has the criteria
for location of bike paths and their relation to public roads and highways, such as Truxtun.
The State requires that bike paths that are less than 5 feet from a road's travel lane have
a physical barrier, such as a chain link fence, to prevent the bicyclist from encroaching into
the roadway. The section of bike path near Truxtun was built to be about 15 to 20 feet from
the road, as noted in the editorial, so that no fence would be required to prevent cyclist
from crossing into the roadway.
The State of California Traffic Manual, used by the City, has requirements for the use of
guardrail. Guardrails are used to prevent vehicles from leaving the road where there is a
steep embankment or there are fixed objects near the road that could be hit. G0ardrails are
also placed on the outside of sharp curves in a road to prevent a vehicle from running off
the road. Along the bike path near Truxtun, there are no fixed objects that may be hit, the
area is near flat with no steep embankment. The path and Truxtun are in either a straight
segment or on a large radius, gentle curve of the roadway. This segment of Truxtun does
not have a history of vehicles running off the road.
Since the area of Truxtun and the bike path does not have sharp outside curves, does not
have fixed objects in the way, does not have steep embankments and the path is much
more than 5 feet from the road lane with no history of vehicles running offthe road into the
path area and both the bike path and Truxtun are built to State of California requirements,
guardrails are not installed. No changes are proposed at this time.

Standing up for you!
Here's another example of a disaster waiting to happen.
Your23 Editorial
The people that walk, bike or mn here on the path beside the Tmxtun Extension ought to be
scared out of their minds. Look at how fast these cars wlfiz by. The speed limit is 55 miles per
hour but these guys go a lot faster. ~
This is really dangerous, the way the road curves here at the end, and cars' high speeds. We're
surprised someone hasn't lost control and mn fight up here into someone on this path.
This path is only 15 feet from the road...it's crazy that a guard rail hasn't been put up here yet.'
We contacted the City's Public Works Department and we're told that the idea has been
discussed but that it's never gone anywhere...surprise, surprise.
This is something that should have been done a long time ago. Let's get a jump start and get ~
something done right now before something happens.
Your23 calls on Public Works Director Raul Rojas to install guard rails ·along the Truxtun
Extension immediately. It's a matter of public safety.
That's our solution...what do you think?

Subject: Response to your email to City Council dated June 8, 2000 regarding speed limits
Thank you for contacting the City regarding speed limits on Gosford Road. Your email was given to Traffic
Engineering for a response.
The speed limit on Gosford Road is posted at 55 miles per hour. The speed limit is set in accordance with
requirements of the California Vehicle Code and State law. The California Vehicle Code requires that the
speed limits be checked every five years for changes that may allow the speed limit to be lowered or
raised. Gosford Road was checked in April of last year. The average speed was found to be about 52
miles per hour and the 85th percentile speed was 57 miles per hour. Per the requirement 6f'the California
Vehicle Code, the speed limit is to be 55 miles per hour. This allows the police to use radar enforcement of
the speed limit. Since you have a concern about the speed limit, Traffic Engineering will recheck the
speed on Gosford to see if a different speed limit may be justified under the California Vehicle Code.
For your information, we are also preparing to implement a "red light enforcement camera" system that will
be used on some intersections in the City. This will help reduce traffic accidents at problem intersections.
For more information about traffic and speed limits, be sure and visit our website for Traffic Engineering at
the City's webpage. The web address is:

You can also send email to our attention in Traffic Engineering at this location.
Thanks for your interest in traffic. If we can be of further help or you have other questions, please email us

To whom it may concern:
I live in the southwest, with Gosford Road and White Lane as the cross
streets.
In the past year, I have been in one, of the several traffic accidents that
have occurred on Gosford Road.
I have had my share of speeding tickets in the past, and have been dubbed as
a "lead foot", but even I think the speed limit on Gosford should be reduced
to a more safer speed.

ROAD
Council Referral WF0018516/001 Couch
Councilmember Couch requests justification if staff recommends deleting Mohawk as an arterial,
north of Hageman Road to Olive Drive. Copy of correspondence available at the City Clerk's
office front counter
The original circulation element showed Mohawk Street continuing north across Hageman Road
and eventually connecting to Olive Drive via Victor Street (an existing local street). Traffic
models of this area indicated Olive Drive would be over capacity by the year 2020. In fact the
roadway was so over capacity that it required eight (8) lanes to properly covey traffic volumes at
level of service "C".
Due to the fact that Olive Drive would not operate properly, staff began to look at alternatives
that would relieve congestion. These efforts led to the consideration of the Hageman flyover
connection to Golden State Avenue. Traffic models utilizing the Hageman connection showed
an improvement to Olive Drive congestion however, it did not bring volumes to the desired level
of service.
Further analysis led to consideration of eliminating the Mohawk Street connection between
Hageman Road and Olive Drive. The reason for this consideration was twofold. First the
connection point utilized Victor Street which is a local street. Adjacent neighborhoods located
west of Victor Street were historically opposed to this connection. Its elimination would address
o
their concerns. In addition, eliminating the connection appeared to force more traffic to utilize
Hageman Road rather than Olive Drive. When this arrangement of roadways were tested in the
model, Olive Drive, Hageman Road and Mohawk Street all operated within acceptable levels of
service. In essence, this arrangement split east-west traffic volumes rather ' '- '
Drive and Hageman Road thereby allowing both roadways to operate prop

"COUCH REQUESTS A RESPONSE TO AUDREY BARNES FAXED LETTER."
Mrs. Audrey Barnes is requesting that the City install traffic signals at the intersection of
Ridge Oak and Old River Road. The Traffic Engineer contacted Mrs. Audrey Barnes and
confirmed that the intersection of Ridge Oak and Old River met a warrant for a traffic
signal. The location was studied and shown to meet one out of eleven possible warrants
for a traffic signal in late March, 2000. Since this warrant study was performed after the
Capital Improvement Projects list had been submitted and published for the FY2000-01
budget, it was not included in the list. The intersection is currently ranked number 11 out
of 39 warranted future signal locations. The intersection should be considered for future
funding in the next available budget.

SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL WF0018518/001, WARD 4, BRIMHALL ROAD.
?COUCH REQUESTS THAT STAFF PROVIDE LYFORMATION ON HOW WE WOULD RE-
DESIGNATE BRIMHALL, BETWEEN ~OFFEE AND CALLOWA Y,, AN ARTERIAL FROM
COLLECTOR, AS CURRENTLY DESIGNA TED..."
Changing the designation of Brimhall Road from a collector road to an arterial road will require
amending the 2010 General Plan Circulation Element. The current designation is collector.
The General Plan can be amended up to 4 times per year. Amendments can be initiated by
the City Staff, as directed by the City Council. Applications for General Plan amendments are
submitted to the Planning Department. The proposed amendment is then set for a public
hearing at the next available General Plan cycle. After the proposed change to the General
plan passes the Planning Commission public hearing, it is forwarded to the City Council for
final public hearing and approval. This process can take 4 to 6 months.
Once the Circulation Element of the 2010 General Plan is changed, new development along
the road will be required to conform to the new designation of Arterial. Changes to the
existing road segment would not be affected unless a new parcel map or tract map is
proposed by a developer/land owner of the existing developed land. If developers file new
maps to change the parcels, the map would have to comply with the new, wider, right of way
requirements of the amended General Plan. If the City desires to widen the road segments
already constructed to the collector width, additional right of way would have to be purchased
and a project developed and funded to widen the roadway. About one-fourth of the north half
of Brimhall is already constructed to a collector width. About two-thirds of the south side of
Brimhall is constructed to the collector width.
Brimhall was designated as a collector on the previous General Plan, developed in the early
'60s. When the 2010 General Plan was being considered in the late '80s and approved in
1990, the segment of Brimhall west of Calloway was changed to an Arterial width road. Plans
had been approved in 1987 for development of Brimhall under the Mclntosh Specific Plan as
a collector width in conformance with the General Plan in effect at that time.' In 1987 and
1990, the future freeway corridor known as the "Kern River Freeway" was anticipated to
handle the traffic in the area between Coffee Road and Callq_w=ay_Drive.

SUBJECT: FUNDING RAILROAD CROSSINGS
Council Referral WF0018519 / OOl, Couch
ICouncilmember David R. Couch requested staff contact Mr. Vahak Petrossian with I
Caltrans regarding Funding sources for Railroad Crossings.
I
Staff has tried to contact Mr. Petrossian, who is with the Public Utilities Commission, regarding
available funding programs for railroad crossing improvements. Mr. Petrossian is out of the
office until June 27, 2000. However, staff did leave a message for Mr. Petrossian to return a
call.
As part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) funds were
authorized for, railway-highway grade crossing improvements (U.S. Code, Title 23, Sections
130/133). The "Section 130" Program" provides Federal Funds for a 90% share of the project
cost, with local agencies providing the remaining 10% share for the "improvement of warning
devices at existing railway-highway crossings." The Public Utilities Commission prepares and
maintains the "Recommended List of Public Crossings in California for Improved Crossing
Protection with Federal Funding" (the 130 project list). The funding portion of the program is
administered by Caltrans. It should be noted that this is a safety related program, and
improvements to the crossing must be primarily related to safety issues such as crossing arms
and lights.
In recent years, the total number of projects for the program has surpassed 1,000 at a total cost
of nearly $200 million. Currently only $10 to $15 million is allocated annually for this program,
so there is a fairly large shortfall between submitted projects and available funding. Several
years ago, the City committed to providing the 10% share for the South Chester Avenue
crossing of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad (SJVRR). The Federal funds for this crossing are
currently anticipated to be available in 2001.
In addition, the California Avenue Crossing of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad located east of
Union Avenue has just been approved for funding through this program ($336,580). Staff has
recommended in the FY 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Program budget funds for half of the
local match as well as funds for improvements to the eastbound roadway approach to the
railway, improvements which the Section 130 program does not fund. County staff is also
proposing to the Board of Supervisors the funding of their half of the local match as well as
funds to improve the westbound approach to the railway, as the City/Count~ is the
railroad. RECEIVED-' "

Subject: Fluoridation
I am responding on behalf of Mayor Bob Price on the fluoridation of City water.
The issue of fluoridation of public water supplies is not new, in fact recent California law requires the
fluoridation of large public water systems. However, the law provides that funds for the installation of
fluoride injection facilities come from sources other than ratepayers, shareholders, local taxpayers or
bondholders.
Whether mandates by stae law or not, fluoridation of public water supplies is a controversial subject.
Proponents have years of scientific studies to prove that fluoridation has reduced the incidence of dental
caries (cavities) in-children. Opponents to fluoridation have gathered evidence that fluoride is a possible
threat to health and, most importantly, it should be left to the individuars choice to provide or administer
fluoride treatment for their children. That would include parental guidance on dental hygiene that
incorporates fluoride toothpaste or at regular dentist check-ups, request fluoride treatments.
The City of Bakersfield has looked at the fluoridation issue. At this time none of the local water service
providers in the Bakersfield area are fluoridating their water. The Bakersfield area is served by several
water agencies and companies, that have some overlap in City and unincorporated service areas. This
creates a operational difficulty in injecting fluoride to specific areas, that is, if the City had fluoridation
requirements to its consumers and the County of Kern had non-fluoridation in effect, considerable
expenses would be incurred in isolating the injection zone. The estimated costs to install the pumping
equipment, storage facilities and additional personnel to operate the injection systems at City water wells
is estimated to be $7,850,000.00. Increases in monthly water rates would also be required.
The City will continue to monitor the legislative requirements in fluoridating its drinking water. Thank you
for interest and feel free to contact me if you have furhter questions.

SUBJECT: PHASING OF LANDSCAPING
Council Referral WF0018497 / 001 Couch
Councilmember Couch requests that staff contact Eric Triquerro regarding the phasing
of landscape by developers.
Staff has been in contact with Mr. Triquerro regarding timing of landscaping
improvements near his home. The remaining improvements including streets, wall and
landscaping must be installed in accordance with Tract 5905 by December 15, 2000. If
the improvements are not installed, the City may call the security bond and compel the
bonding company to have those improvements completed.
In addition, staff is looking into the possibility of extending the existing roadway and
landscape improvements on Renfro Road behind Mr. Triquerro's home. These
improvements were omitted in an agreement with the original developer due to an
interchange planned at that location. Since that interchange is no longer contemplated,
extension of improvements would appear to be appropriate.

SUBJECT: RESURFAClNG CHRISTMAS TREE LANE
Council Referral WF0018492 / 001
Councilmember Salvaggio requested the scheduling information for resurfacing of Christmas Tree
Lane.
Christmas Tree Lane between Columbus Street and Panorama Drive was resurfaced in
April, 2000.
The area on Christmas Tree Lane between Mt. Vernon Avenue and Columbus Street was
crack-sealed in February, 2000 and the pavement is in good condition. What it does need
is a rejuvenating seal coat, which will be applied in the month of August, 2000. This portion
of Christmas Tree Lane will be considered for'resurfacing within the 2001/2002 budget
year.
Columbus Avenue between Panorama Drive and Auburn Street was resurfaced in 1998.
The portion of street between Auburn Street and Mt. Vernon Avenue was resurfaced in
1996 and the portion between Mt. Vernon and River Boulevard was done in 1994.
Mt. Vernon Avenue between Panorama Drive and the 178 Highway bridge was resurfaced
in 1995. There are some areas on Mt. Vernon that keep developing pavement failure. The
Street Division has performed dig-outs and patching of these areas. However, Mt. Vernon
Avenue was resurfaced with the use of Federal Funds and cannot be considered for
resurfacing for another five years.
The Public Works Department and especially the Streets Division have an unwritten policy
that all approved budget funding for street improvements will be divided as equally as
possible among the seven wards.
