CITY MANAGER'S OFFtC'.- ,
DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION AND PARKS
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Stan Ford, Director of Recreation and Parks
SUBJECT: Monthly Report for June
Attached are the monthly activity reports from each division. A detailed
report on park maintenance is available. Also included are attendance
figures for the swimming pools and a copy of a new internal newsletter from
aquatics, The Wet Page.
This month we have experienced a substantial increase in vandalism of the
parks. Specifically, with time clocks and sprinkler heads. We are finding that
clocks are being tampered with (i.e. reset or turned off) and hundreds of
broken or missing sprinkler heads. This is not only very time consuming and
expensive to repair, but having a negative impact on the condition of the
parks and our ability to keep up with a normal maintenance schedule.
Rockin' by the-Rivet'Concert Series: Our groups are set. Although we
were unable to accommodate Councilmember Maggard's request of Carlos
Santana, Led Zeppelin, and Journey, we have signed Poco (August 15), Eric
Burdon (August 22), and Savoy Brown (August 29).
There's Nothing to Do in-Bakersfield!!: I've heard this statement made
several times since I moved here. This summer, we offer over 600 different
registration-based activities for the citizens. In addition, we have many free
activities like concerts, drop in opPortunities like swimming, and many public
parks that can be used on either a casual basis or reserved. It appears to
me that the city is providing a variety of recreational opportunities to our
residents. There is something to do in Bakersfield!!! This, as well as the
next item, indicates to me that the training our staff has participated in like
the Disney Institute professional development programs is resulting in a large
return on the city's investment..
NRPA Kudos Award: Actually a July occurrence. We just received
notification that for the second consecutive year, our program brochure has
won the National Recreation and Park Association's national marketing
award - Kudos, as the Best Recreation Catalogue. I believe that this is a
further indication that our mission and goals are being fulfilled.
The Disney Keys to Excellence Program: In April, we hosted the Disney
Institute program known as the Disney Keys to Excellence. This was to be
the only Keys program in California in 2000. I'm pleased to report that the
Disney Institute has requested that we host a new program in November.
The tentative date is November 14. The Keys programs are a one-day
training held in various communities unlike the three and a half day intensive
professional development programs held at the Disney Institute in Florida.

class was also held for any summer staff who needed it.
The Camp King program got off to a great start on June 19 with 100 campers and twenty-seven

this was the best camp ever because the counselors were so nice and the different activities
including swim lessons, dance lessons and craft activities were really fun. The summer lunch
program also started on June 19. We have fed an average of 380 children daily.
Staff from the Martin Luther King center also had a booth at the 3ra Annual Juneteenth

JUNE PICNIC FACILITY RESERVATIONS
The month of June saw an increase of picnic reservations and an influx of school parties.
Here again, the Guest Relation Specialists in the Recreation and Parks office and the Park
Operations staff in the field, did a great job in making the customer's experience a positive
one. The amount of reservations and people in attendance this month was: 212
reservations, which accommodated 21,230 guests. Over and above this count would
include all the swim lesson participants and public swimming in all pools. The Guest
Relations Specialists and all the Park Operations staff are to be commended for their hard
work.
NEW SURFACE AT MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. PARK
A new acrylic surface has been installed over the existing concrete tennis courts at Martin
Luther King, Jr. Park. The new acrylic surface is a multi-layer product which provides an
extremely hard wear surface at a Iow cost. This project was completed in time for Camp
King tennis clinic. Depending on use, we expect 7-8 years or more useful life from the
surfacing. Instrumental in coordinating and completing this project are: Greg CronE,
Director of Operations; Ed Lazaroti, Park Supervisor II; and Ken Trone, Administrative
Assistant. Their efforts ensured a quality outcome.
ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
Additional landscape acreage is an every month occurrence for our department. The new
landscape pictured below, is located on White Lane and Old River Road. The amount of
new acreage is .77. This area is in the northeastern boundary of the Seven Oaks
development. The area is ranked at the Tier 4 level of improvements, which represents the
highest rating. The rating is based on the difficulty of maintenance as determined by the
density and complexity of landscaping. Here again, as with all new improvements,
personnel and scheduling adjustments must be made to accommodate the continual
growth. Lee Ochoa, Supervisor II, who oversees the southwest and northwest areas of
Bakersfield is to be congratulated for the effort he puts forth to see that the landscaping in
his area is maintained at the highest quality.
INSPECTION AND PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AT AMTRAK
Our department has been working in conjunction with Public Works, in the development
of the new Amtrak station. We have been instrumental in the review and inspection of the
landscape installation. Recently we installed a multi-purpose piece of playground
equipment for the enjoyment of the children either waiting for the train to travel or waiting
to greet friends and relatives coming to our city. Greg Cronk, Director of Operations; Joe
E. Gonzales, Park Technician; Ed Lazaroti, Park Supervisor II; and Ken Trone,
Administrative Assistant, did a great job in their assistance in making the Amtrak project
a successful one.
VANDALISM IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER
Park Operations has 800 to 900 irrigation clocks, as many syphon control devices, and
several thousand remote control valves, not to mention the hundred of thousands irrigation
heads. These components are essential to the operation of all irrigations systems for our
parks, building facilities, streetscapes and median islands. When any one of these
components fail, the entire irrigation system of a particular area is dramatically affected.
Unfortunately, this summer has witnessed a tremendous amount of vandalism to all these
irrigation components. In many cases, clocks have been either tampered with or turned off.
Syphon devices have been turned off, which, in effect, shuts down the entire system.
Irrigation heads in the streetscapes are continually broken by kids walking through the
area.
Our staff is continually on the alert to these occurrences. Every effort is being made to
resolve the vandalism issue to ensure a quality product for our customers. I would like to
commend each area employee in this endeavor to keep the landscaping throughout our
city as lush and green as possible.

MEMORANDUM
June 28, 2000
TO: Alan Christensen, Assistant City Manager
Attached is a letter I received from Go Film regarding their recent experience shooting a
commercial here in Bakersfield. As you can see - they were very pleased with the experience,
especially so with the Police Department. Even though this kind of work is only incidental to the
main mission of the department, their cooperation is very much appreciated.
You may recall that Go Films produced a Mobil "Flash Pass" commercial during the week of
June 12 (filming on 13-14). They used the parking lot on the comer of Q Street and Tmxtun
(currently used by the Holiday Inn for staff parking), both re-paving and re-stripping it when they
were finished. As the letter indicated, the closing of Tmxtun Avenue combined with the
additional elements of extreme heat and union picketers made for more than the average
challenges. They also indicated that they were exploring a return to Bakersfield for future
commercials. I will keep you updated as things develop.

Dear Ms. Fulton,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts on behalf of
GO Film and for helping to make our Mobil television commercial shoot such a
success.
From the permitting process to dealing with local vendors, our experience
in Bakersfield was by far one the easiest location shoots GO Film has ever
undertaken. A special mention is due to the Bakersfield Police Force. With
nearly all of downtown Bakersfield closed off for us, a 110 degree heat wave, and
a SAG union picket line on the outskirts of our set, they handled everything with
the utmost professionalism and courtesy and kept all involved safe and
productive.
Once again, thank you and the city of Bakersfield for making our shoot so
pleasant. We will certainly return to Bakersfield if we have the chance!
Wannest Regards,
Production Supervisor

SUBJECT: Lead Base Paint Regulations Impact on Housing Programs

meeting, since July appears to be a very full agenda.

SUBJECT: Update Regarding New Lead Base Paint (LBP) Regulations
This memo is a follow-up to my January 28 and March 21 memos that discussed new
regulations from the federal government for addressing lead based paint in local housing
programs receiving HUD funding. The new LBP requirements will take effect on September
15, 2000 and they provide guidance for hazard reduction and abatement for housing built
before 1978. Cities will need to implement these regulations to continue to receive HUD
funding for housing.
As a means to comply with these new regulations a community must have a housing
construction work force certified by the State as LBP professionals. We are currently
preparing Request for Proposals (RFP's) for certified LBP abatement professionals. We
expect these RFP's to be completed by July and contractor selection by September, 2000.
As part of our overall strategy to meet these LBP regulations and continue with our housing
programs the following changes are being considered for September.
· As you are aware, we currently offer Home Access (HA) grants up to $2500 in
order to allow Iow income disabled persons access to their homes. The new
LBP regulations will increase our HA costs and in order not to diminish our
ability to carry out the HA program we wish to offer grants up to $3500 instead
of $2500 only when LBP regulations are triggered. The additional $1000 will be
targeted to costs associated with LBP hazard reduction. We anticipate that
LBP related costs for homes that contain this hazard will average between
$500 to $1000 per HA unit.
· As part of the single family rehabilitation (SFR) program we offer deferred
and/or amortized loans up to $35,000. However we are now interested in
offering additional assistance to off-set the costs associated with LBP hazard
reduction and/or abatement. This assistance would be in the form of a 50%
grant for single family rehab costs connected to LBP hazard reduction and/or
abatement. The remaining 50% of the LBP costs would be part of the initial
deferred/amortized loan. We anticipate that LBP related costs for homes that
contain this hazard will average between $3000 to $10,000 per SFR home.
· We do not expect to increase our assistance for the First Time Home Buyers
Program (FTHB) if LBP regulations are triggered. LBP related costs for this
program are anticipated to be borne by the seller and/or the buyer. LBP
regulations are less intrusive for programs dealing with property acquisition
only. We intend to inform the lenders regarding these new LBP regulations on
June 30 at our annual lenders meeting.
We expect to have our changes in place by September 15 of this year and do expect a
possible slow down in housing rehabilitation production for the next fiscal year due to the
new LBP requirements. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these
pending changes to our housing programs.

PROPOSED BYLAW REVISION FOR CITIZENS
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON ANNEXATIONS
On June 20, 2000, your Board approved continuing the Citizens Advisory Committee on Annexations subject to a revised
purpose and function. The proposed revised Bylaws for this Committee, which reflect a new purpose, are attached for your
Board's approval.
The previous Bylaws of the Committee (attached) contained a listing of the responsibilities of the Committee. As noted in
the Committee' s final report, these responsibilities have been fulfilled. Proposed ongoing functions of the Committee are
to continue to monitor annexation legislation and the activities of the City of Bakersfield with regard to the Committee' s
recommended Voluntary Actions to be taken by the City to improve the annexation process. Another proposed function of
the Committee is to provide a forum for citizens to discuss annexation issues and to advise the Board of Supervisors on
proposed remedies to address these newly identified issues. Per your Board's direction, the proposed revised Bylaws establish
quarterly meetings for the Committee.
During the Board's consideration of this matter at its June 20, 2000 meeting, several comments were made that the members
of the current Committee wished to continue serving on the Committee with a new purpose. It is noted that one member has
resigned, and that another has verbally indicated that time constraints preclude continuing on the Committee. As such, your
Board's approval to solicit the desires of the remaining Committee members for continuing their services on the Committee
is requested..
Therefore, 1T IS RECOMMENDED that your Board approve the revised bylaws for the Citizens Advisory Committee on
Annexations, direct the County Administrative Office to determine the interest of current Committee members in continuing
to serve on the Committee, and direct the Clerk of the Board to post notices of vacancies as appropriate.

In 1999, the Bakersfield Fire Department introduced a Basic Life
Support (BLS) Bike-Medic Program. By using bicycles,
firefighters are able to access emergency medical patients at public
events without delays. The BLS Bike-Medics are expected to
provide services at local events including First Night, Downtown
Street Fairs, The Bakersfield Business Conference, and holiday
parades. They will also use them to access patients in hard to reach
locations.
The Bakersfield Fire Department BLS Bike-Medic Team consists
of 25 firefighters with two units staffed by EMT-1 Firefighters. All
Bike-Medic Team firefighters possess
certifications in combitube (airway
management) and defibrillation
Both bicycles are maintained, supplied, and
equipped in accordance with BLS Bike-Medic
policies developed by the Kern County
Emergency Medical Services Department.
Compilation and data collection from BLS Bike-Medic reports insure
quality patient care and serve as a guideline for increasing service
Focus on Auto Extrication
One of the most frequent types of rescues is automobile extrication. As automobile engineers develop new safety features, they also
things more difficult and dangerous for the rescue provider. Bakersfield Firefighters receive continuous training to keep up with changes
in design.
The Bakersfield Fire Department has six rescue tools, i.e. Jaws of Life, strategically located throughout the City. In 1999, the del:
was awarded funds from the California Office of Traffic Safety to purchase three additional sets of rescue tools. This equipment
placed into service in June 2000 and will increase rescue coverage by 50%. This grant also includes funding for public educationi
programs focusing on child safety seats and bicycle helmet compliance.
Technical rescue incidents are complex and require specially trained personnel and equipment to complete the assignment. All
engine companies are trained in technical rescue and several individuals are certified as Technical Rescue Specialists.
Technical rescues are classified into several broad categories:
Rope rescue
· Structural Collapse
· Confined Space
· Vehicle and Mechanical Extrication
· Water Rescue
· Trench and Excavation Rescue
· Urban Search and Rescue
Members of the Technical Rescue Training Team are completing a comprehensive threat analysis for the City of Bakersfield.
The goal of this hazard and risk assessment is to increase awareness on potential technical rescue responses. By focusing on
specific threats to the City of Bakersfield and the capabilities of the Bakersfield Fire Department, additional equipment and
training can be identified.
1999 Rescue responses: 33 ......
Personnel assigned to the Hazardous Materials Team are certified by the State of Califomia as Hazardous
Materials Technicians or Specialists. The team responds to hazardous material emergencies in a 1989
International Hazardous Materials Van.
Significant hazardous materials responses for 1999 include:
· Chlorine Leak 1501 F Street . ~.~
· Propane Release 417 Kentucky
· Propane Release 5700 S Union Ave
Tim Capehart, a member of the Hazardous Materials Team, received an
Innovation and Technology Award at the statewide "Continuing Challenge"
seminar for development of the HazCam. The HazCam will allow hazardous
material responders to project live pictures back to the Incident Commander or
other decision- makers that are excluded from the area.
Chlorine Leak
On November 27, 1999, at 5:15 a.m., the Hazardous ! ":~' ~:'~
Materials Team responded to a rail car leaking an
unknown quantity of chlorine at 1501 F Street.
Chlorine gas is extremely hazardous. Small quantities
can cause burning to the skin and eyes, and a large
spill could quickly become toxic. The Hazardous
Material Team, joined by eight other units from the
Bakersfield Fire Department and other agencies,
worked quickly to isolate and mitigate the situation.
If this leak had grown in intensity, it could have
threatened local neighborhoods, schools, and Mercy
Hospital.
The Training Division operates from a state of the art facility that is/
owned and operated with the Kern County Fire Department. The
has offices, classrooms, an audio/visual studio, a high-rise drill tower,
live fire training building, hazardous materials and rescue training
and an apparatus housing facility. The Department staffs the facilit3

In 1998, the FBI reported an average arson rate of 39 per 100,000 population. In this same year, the City of Bakersfield reported an
arson rate well above the national average.
Strategies used to reduce the arson problem in 1999 included:
· Dispatching teams of arson investigators
· Applying for the United States Fire Administration Arson Technical Assistance Project
· Receiving funds for an accelerant detector from Factory Mutual
The Mini Rae 2000 Portable VOC Monitor, purchased with a grant from Factory Mutual, will assist to increase the department's
rate. This portable monitor will be used to identify flammable liquids used to start arson fires. This monitor will be used to assure
the largest samples are sent to the crime lab. The department also has an arson dog capable of sniffing out small quantities of accelerant.:
The Bakersfield Fire Department was effective in reducing the arson rate by 27% in 1999; however, there is still a great difference between
the national and local statistics. Over 60% of all fires requiring investigation were determined to be incendiary.

#5 Question: Correspondence from Aera Energy regarding process for renaming
"Forum Way" to "Aera Oaks Way."
Response: Their request for information was referred to Development Services.
Per your discussion with Stan Grady, he will discuss the process
required to make a street name change with Aera representatives.
#6 Question: Request that staff prepare a letter for your signature in response to
the e-mail from Fred Dorer in support of planting trees.
Response: Staff has prepared correspondence for your signature.
#7 Question: Staff to respond to message from Carlos Angelini regarding traffic
problems around the Marketplace.
Response: The Traffic Engineering Division has contacted Mr. Angelini and he
expressed concerns regarding vehicles "drag racing" and cruising the
parking lot at the Marketplace creating traffic problems. Traffic
Engineering contacted the Police Department Traffic Division
regarding the concerns. Since the majority of the problem is on
private property it is up to the owner to address with their security
personnel; however, the police will increase enforcement in the area
during the weekends since there are concerns with vehicles running
stop signs at Scarlet Oak & Ming. A more detailed response by
Traffic Engineering is attached. Mr. Angelini was satisfied with staff's
response.
#8 Question: Concern regarding no parking signs in Channel 23 editorial.
Response: In discussing this issue with Traffic Engineering, the Police
Department and the City Attorney, there are several reasons for the
standard placement and distance between "no parking" signs
throughout the city. First, the signs are located on arterial and
collector streets in order to reduce accidents due to high speed travel
on these multi lane roads which is incompatible with parked cars and
people leaving their vehicles. These areas are therefore designated
as "no parking zones" for public safety purposes. One of the primary
reasons for the need to have signs placed at certain reasonable
distances is to ensure that the public is given adequate notice of the
no parking area so citations can be made by the police department
and legally upheld when violations do occur. An alternative to the
signs could be done by painting the curbs red. However, this would
be expensive to do and would also create a significant ongoing
maintenance cost for the city, not to mention the visual impact of
Councilmember Couch

having long sections of red curbing along the roadway. The existing
signs require little ongoing maintenance when compared to the
painting and re-painting of curbs. The Police Department indicates
they issue approximately 100 citations per month for parking in "no
parking zones" throughout the City. The Traffic Engineer has also
prepared a memo with more detailed information regarding this
subject, which is attached.
#9 Question: Correspondence from Tree Foundation regarding web site and
California Division of Forestry information regarding Urban Forestry
Response: Per your request this information will be included in the materials to
be discussed at the next Urban Development Committee.
#10 Question: Question regarding public use of police shooting range.
Response: Per our conversation, the police department does not allow use of the
shooting range by the general public, due to the current level of use
by officers and liability concerns.
#11 Question: Concern regarding drainage and standing water problem at Feather
River and Carriage Ranch.
Response: Public Works staff has cleaned out the siphon at this location and will
monitor it in the future. They are looking at the possibility of
connecting this site to a storm drain near this location if feasible.

"COUCH REQUESTS THAT STAFF CONTACT CARLOS ANGELINI REGARDING HIS
CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AROUND THE MARKETPLACE. CONTACT
AND RESPOND IN WRITING - REPORT BACK TO COUCH."
The Traffic Engineer contacted Mr. Carlos Angelini, Jr., a resident near the Marketplace
Center, regarding his concern of traffic problems at the shopping center. Mr. Angelini's
concern was not with traffic engineering and operation, but with the need for more police
traffic enforcement.
Younger drivers are causing a hazard to others in the parking lot of the Marketplace on
Fridays and Saturdays. There have been "drag racing" incidents and general disregard for
safety by "cruisers" of the parking lot. Mr. Angelini has talked to the Marketplace security
officers and they have not been able to eliminate the problem. Mr. Angelini asked that the
City Police come on to the private property to help the private security people control the
cruising and racing problem in the private parking lot. He also said that the problem
sometimes spills over into the public streets with the drag racing and frequent running of
the stop signs at Scarlet Oak and Ming. The Traffic Engineer told Mr. Angelini that the
Police Department Traffic office would be advised of the problem and asked to provide
additional enforcement. This was satisfactory to Mr. Angelini.
The Traffic Section of the Police Department, Lt. Alan Zachary, was contacted on this
matter. Lt. Zachary was already aware of the problem and had ordered extra enforcement
on Fridays and Saturdays. He indicated that the Police are limited to what they can do on
private property, but that they will be a presence at the shopping center and step up
enforcement on the surrounding streets. A copy of the Council Referral will be forwarded
to Lt. Zachary.

SUBJECT: "Your23 Editorial" regarding "NO PARKING" signs

City.

MEMORANDUM
TO: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
FROM: STEPHEN L. WALKER, TRAFFIC ENGINEER
DATE: July 6, 2000 ~"-
SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO "YOUR 23 EDITORIAL" FROM KERO-TV REGARDING
THE USE OF "NO PARKING" SIGNS ON MAJOR STREETS.
Recently, Channel 23 KERO produced an editorial critical of the City for placing "no
parking" signs on major streets. In particular, the editorial complained that the spacing of
such signs was too close and too many. Assistant City Manager John Stinson requested
information and a response to the editorial.
"No parking" signs are placed on major streets where there is not enough room to allow
parking. Such streets as Coffee Road, Gosford Road, Ming Avenue, Stockdale Highway
and .California Avenue are examples of where there are multiple lanes of traffic, and
sometimes bike lanes, with no parking. Large "no parking" signs are used and spaced
about every 200 feet.
The sign spacing is not specified in any Caltrans manual or set of standards. That is left
up to the local agencies to determine what works for their communities and cities. In the
early 1980's, a defacto standard was established of using about 200 foot spacing for large
"no parking" signs and about 100 foot spacing for the smaller ones. This was based on the
experience of the Police Department Traffic Section with compliance to signs, legibility of
the signs and experience with the courts when and citation was challenged. On that basis,
we have not changed our recommended spacing when new signs are installed and still use
a 200 foot spacing on large signs and about a 100 foot spacing on the smaller signs.
I checked with the Police Department Traffic Section for their thoughts on the sign spacing.
Per Lt. Zachary, parking violations were de-criminalized about eight years ago and
challenges to citations for parking are not heard by a judge. Lt. Zachary. makes a
determination when a ticket is challenged and is requested to be dismissed. In Lt.
Zachary's professional opinion, the current sign spacing is at the limit of legibility and
enforcement.
I checked with two other cities in the valley to find out how they handle "no parking" sign
placement. Both Fresno and Modesto use signs to prohibit parking where needed and use
red painted curb where a sign would be difficult to install orthe length of parking prohibition
is very short. Their traffic engineers use a similar spacing for signs with Fresno using an
average of 200 feet and Modesto using between 100 and 150 feet. They cited sign visibility
Page 1 of 2
and legibility to a driver as the key reason for the spacing used. Signs that indicate "no
parking beyond this point", or similar signs, were said to be hard to enforce and are seldom
used except in special situations.
The editorial commented on the number of signs on Stockdale Highway and on California
Avenue. These signs have been in place for a number of years and new signs are only
installed to replace older deteriorated signs on a maintenance basis. Most, if not all, the
signs in new developing areas are placed by the developer as part of the street
improvements, not at a cost to the City. The editorial also suggested that existing signs
should be removed and installed on other streets when a "no parking" sign is needed. This
would be more expensive than installing a new sign since the labor cost to remove the old
sign, repair the sidewalk and relocate the sign would add about another $100 to the cost
of the sign. Currently, a new sign costs about $100 to $150 to install. The editorial's
suggestion would result in an increased cost to the City.
The editorial states that the City is probably spending $200,000 on "no parking" signs. This
is grand hyperbole and without a basis in fact. They apparently are assuming that all the
signs that are in place now, and have been for many years, are re-installed each year!
Although not mentioned in the editorial, another alternative that is often mentioned is
painting the curb red in place of installing a sign. There are advantages and disadvantages
to this alternative. The advantages that may be considered would be less clutter on the
streetside and an easily recognized prohibition to parking since most drivers understand
that red curb means no parking or stopping. The disadvantages may include the visual
barrage of all that red curb along the road which may be just as disturbing as signs.
Another disadvantage that should be considered is the cost. Red curb must be repainted
every year, or more often, to combat the rapid fading of color due to sunlight exposure.
This can be very labor intensive and costly. It is estimated that the initial cost of a sign is
paid for after 3 to 5 years of repainting a curb red, while the curb must continue to be
repainted each year.
In summary, signs are less expensive than red curbs in the long term, our spacing of signs
is consistent with other major cities in the San Joaquin Valley, the spacing is correct for
police enforcement and the alternative of painting curbs red could also be a visual eyesore
to the public.

Standing up for you! '
Here' s a sure sign that we're blowing our budget. ,,~/ ~
Your23 Editorial
The next time you're going down Stockdate or California, check out all the no parking signs.
This is going on all over the city!
These signs are spaced about 30 yards apart and there's tons of them. Do we ne~d speed limit
signs every 20 feet? Are we going to forget? Or how about a sign that says, "don't nm this red
light?"-
Wouldn't it be less costly for the city to have a sign that says no parking beyond this point,
instead of installing all of these signs?
City u:affic enbneers say that most signs cost between 100 and 150 dollars per sign including
installation. There are about 50 signs on Stockdale alone! The city is probably spending about
200-hundred thousand dollars on no parking signs. This makes no sense at all!
We don't need to buy any more no parking signs for the next ten years!
Your23 calls on the city to take these signs out and spread them out on other streets that need
them and to make a sign that says no parking beyond this point.
That's our solution...what do you think?

DATE: July 7, 2000
SUBJECT: MEDIAN ISLAND DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
Council Referral WF0018532 / 001, Maggard
ICouncilmember Mike Uaggard requested staff review the possibility of a median island
alternative, pilot location and related costs.
Staff has reviewed existing median islands for a possible location for a median island
demonstration project using 18" colored concrete edging along each side of the median island,
and then using wood chips as a groundcover between the concrete as mentioned previously by
Councilmember Maggard. Staff recommends a 1,300' long segment of existing asphalt
surfaced median island in Panorama Drive between Wenatchee Avenue and Boise Street as a
location for the demonstration project. This length of median is consistent with the previous
demonstration projects constructed on California Avenue and South H Street.
Street Division personnel will remove the existing asphalt surfacing, the annual concrete
contractor will install the colored concrete (with exposed aggregate finish), and then the Streets
Division will install the wood chips. No additional landscaping is proposed for this demonstration
project. Work will begin on the project later this month.
For this demonstration project, the annual contractor costs will be about $16,000 for the colored
concrete surfacing. The wood chips will cost under $1,000.00. All other labor costs will come

Re: Vonderharr Family Trust Property
Dear Mr. Abril;
Thank you for your letter of June 26, 2000 to the Mayor and City Council regarding the
Vonderharr Family Trust property at 1215 "S" Street.
Let me attempt to clarify the situation regarding both the Bakersfield Redevelopment
Agency and the City of Bakersfield surrounding property acquisition procedures.
First, as of this date there is no certainty of a project that would involve property
acquisition. An exclusive right to negotiate a disposition and development agreement has
been granted to the OImscheid grOup. Until and unless that agreement is finalized and
approved by the Redevelopment Agency and City Council, it is only a proposal, not a
project. Much publicity wilt surround the issue over the next several months as
deliberations and negotiations proceed.
Second, here is an overview of how the City and Agency would acquire property if a project
does occur:
A. A local MAI appraiser Would be retained to objectively establish fair market
value of the property.
B. A second local MAI appraiser would be retained to review the appraisal of
the first to assure accuracy.

C. The offer for the property is in an amount of no less than the appraised fair
market value. If relocation assistance is requested, our property
management division provides it.
D. If there is a disagreement over value, we listen, attempt to resolve
differences, and deal in a reasonable way with the issues raised.
In acquiring between 30-40 properties -for arena parking, the "Q" Street Grade Separation
and Amtrak Station, these processes resolved all but one case, which was adjudicated
through eminent domain. It is always our goal to negotiate fair, open and amicable
property purchases. Only in extreme cases, when all other efforts have failed, has eminent
domain been used.
When and if there is a project, we believe that your client will find us to be reasonable and
fair. Please do not hesitate to call at any time if you have other concerns.
Sincerely,
City Manager ~
