The agenda covered the following items: Workshop: Ms. Campbell made a brief presentation on an economic workshop she attended on behalf of the PAC. Correspondence: Staff discussed schedule for City Center Ad Hoc meetings if any PAC member or public wishes to keep informed or comment on the Development Agreement for the project. Councilmember Carson has appointed Isaiah Crompton to the Citizens Advisory group of the committee. Staff also reminded the PAC of the Community Development 2001-02 Action Plan has a public meeting scheduled for September 12th at MLK for public input. A CDBG Application handbook was enclosed in the agenda packet for their information or use. Old Business: Amendment to the Southeast Redevelopment Plan Mr. Haynes discussed request for SE PAC input on the proposed Plan amendment, looking for any additional "public facilities" that could be added to the current amendment. Ms. Campbell felt they couldn't determine what to request until the Economic Study is done for Union/Lakeview/Cottonwood. Also, she's requested information on the Staples Center in LA and how they were able to get a portion of ticket sales to go back into the community. Mr. Dean felt the PAC should be equal partners with the Ad Hoc committee because they are elected to represent the interest of the community. A Southeast Master Plan should be requested and tied to commitments for capital improvements. The Economic Study only looks at three streets when the entire area needs to have a Master Plan. S:\REDVAREA\PAC meeting August 2000 memo.wpd Alan Tandy August 28, 2000 Page 2 Mr. Peterson requested staff to find comments made by Councilmember Carson, who said the Southeast should have a master plan just like the downtown did. Mr. Powell indicated he will not support the Plan amendment without a Southeast Master Plan tied to capital improvements. There was a failed motion to rescind last month's request for funds to hire independent attorney for the SE PAC to provide legal guidance in making their requests to the Plan amendment. Ms. Campbell felt that staff could request an expert from the California Redevelopment Association (CRA) for free to assist them or make a presentation on their rights and responsibilities as to the Plan Amendment. Staff indicated that a day long workshop was put on last year at the Convention Center by the CRA for all PAC members and public that covered all areas of redevelopment. Mr. Peterson indicated he was fully in support of the request for an independent attorney for the SE PAC, under Section 33387 of redevelopment law. New Business: Redevelopment Street Light Funding Mr. Haynes discussed since the original request for additional lighting, a number of lights have been installed and repaired. Public Works has indicated that there are only a few areas (around Union Cemetery) that are not up to current City standards for lighting streets. He also indicated that Councilmember Carson had requested CDBG funds be used instead of redevelopment funds for street lighting in the southeast. The Council's Budget & Finance Committee discussed the issue and are not opposed to the idea, but must be equitable with the other project area and CDBG projects that would be affected by the change in funding. They requested their concerns be brought to the PAC's attention for further input and resolution. Mr. Haynes said he would arrange to drive the area with PAC members to show which lights have been installed recently. Mr. Peterson indicated the SE Project Area should be given $275,000 in funds for street lighting just like the OTK Project Area was. Instead the SE Project Area was given vacant land and a debt of $1 million, but the OTK project Area got street lights. Staff explained the OTK street light project. The PAC requested a report on the status of the OTK street light project, i.e. how many lights have been installed, how much funding is going into the project this year? Public Statements: Ray Malahowski - Suggested that if nothing can happen for six months due to environmental and Plan amendment process, then that would be enough time for a Master Plan to be completed. The PAC could allow the stadium, only if the City commits to a Master Plan for the area, and is done in S:\REDVAREA\PAC meeting August 2000 memo.wpd Alan Tandy August 28, 2000 Page 3 conjunction with the Plan amendment. However, the Master Plan may or may not recommend a baseball stadium being constructed. Renee Nelson - Indicated staff is misleading if they are saying without the baseball stadium there will be no project. There were four other proposals that were put before the Agency and Council that could be built if the City Center project does not go through. She showed an aerial map and pointed out some of the work that's been done in the area. Agrees with Mr. Dean on the need for capital improvements. Believes the community gets nothing from this project, it needs to have input. Some of the tax increment should go to the community, and should be negotiated for in the DDA. Discussed intermodal and transportation issues. Gladys Buckner - Wanted to know how the decisions of the PAC are brought back to the community. The community needs to give the PAC input for their decisions. Archie Barefield - Would like to see the PAC use its leverage to get the Master Plan. Believes the PAC should oppose the stadium until the community gets something from the City Council. PAC Member Statements: Mr. Dean - Agrees with Mr. Malahowski and the public, in that he will not support the Plan amendment until trade offs are made with the PAC. He indicated each PAC member is elected by the community, so the public should seek out their PAC representative to get input. Downtown and the OTK area have strong business organizations because it's their money going towards projects, the southeast should have the same type organization. Rev. Richardson - Indicated they need to implement some of the public statements, and that the community should get something out of the deal. Mr. Powell - Believes as a team the PAC needs to work together. There are some things that are looking good, like the work on Madison Street. Its time to play hardball and stand up for something. Mr. Crompton - Requested Mr. Malahowski to write up his suggestion so the PAC could possibly use it in making their requests. Concerned with friction in the PAC, should be working together to better the community. PAC members shouldn't have their own agendas and try to get rich in the process. Need to push something forward for the community. Ms. Campbell - Indicated she was resigning from the PAC. It was always her intention to better the community. Felt the personal attacks that happened tonight and have been happening all along should have been stopped. Believes the Chair should speak publicly on behalf of the PAC. Hopes the Plan moves forward, but she is also in private business and hopes to benefit in the future. cc: Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency S:\REDVAREA\PAC meeting August 2000 memo.wpd B A K E R S F I 'E L D CITY MANAGER'SOF?~;"'.: Economic and Community Development Department MEMORANDUM September 1, 2000 TO: Alan Christensen Acting Economic Development Director FROM: Vince A. Zaragoza V~- Principal Planner SUBJECT: Update Regarding Revised Lead Base Paint (LBP) Regulations This memo is a follow-up to recent memos that discussed updated regulations from the federal government for addressing lead based paint in local housing programs receiving HUD funding. The revised 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 rehabilitation, demolition, and acquisition. Additionally, the State has issued updated LBP regs that are being implemented by the Department of Health Services and OSHA. 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 reviewing proposals in response to Request for Proposals (RFP's) for certified LBP evaluation (risk assessment and clearance testing) professionals. We are completing our review of proposals and expect to enter into an agreement with a LBP consultant by mid to late September. 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 in certain instances. The additional $1000 would only be offered when LBP regulations are triggered and become necessary for LBP hazard reduction. We anticipate that LBP related costs for homes with disabled residents that contain this hazard will average between $400 to $900 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 LBP hazard reduction costs and/or abatement. This assistance would be in the form of a grant to pay 50% of -~-~' ~ single family rehab costs associated with LBP hazard reduction and/or abatement. The remaining 50% of the LBP costs would be part of the initial deferred/amortized rehab loan. We anticipate that LBP related costs for homes that contain this hazard will average between $3000 to $10,000 per house that is rehabilitated. · We do not anticipate a need to increase our assistance for the First Time Home Buyers Program (FTHB) if LBP regulations are triggered. LBP related costs for this program are expected to be borne by the seller. Federal LBP regulations are less intrusive for HUD assisted programs dealing with property acquisition only. Staff informed our FTHB lenders regarding the updated LBP regulations at our June 30 annual lenders meeting. We hope to have our changes in place by mid to late September and do expect a possible slow down in housing production for this fiscal year due to the new LBP requirements. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding our proposed changes to the City housing programs. file : p/rehab/revisedll bp5memo MEMORANDUM ECE V=D August 30, 2000 TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: ~ STANLEY C.

Park reservations peaked, at 149 requests with an estimated contingent of 20,565 park guests associated with reservations. As always, this does not include the throngs of casual users of our parks and facilities. YOKUTS SPORTS FIELD RE-OPENS: After several months closure to make repairs to turf, Yokuts sports field reopened in mid August. Closure was necessitated due to 1) condition of turf. and 2) desire to minimize further damage to turf area. Both Beach and Yokuts parks multi- purpose sports fields were closed in late APril to re-seed a substantial amount of both fields. A similar task was undertaken with use of sod late summer of 1999. However, demand on facilities was so great during fall and winter of 1999-2000, turf experienced significant damage to root stock and was not able to rejuvenate itself last spring. In order to minimize damage and hopefully eliminate or at least reduce future field closure time, limits have been placed upon field reservations. To continue to offer comparable and even greater number of reservation slots, softball outfields have been made available for soccer practice and other uses. Beach and Yokuts fields will be over-seeded this fall to help protect root stock during winter use. Staff will continue to investigate opportunities of additional fields and methods for reducing damage to turf. KERN RIVER CLEAN-UP: Responding to requests, staff began "raising" trees along east bank of Kern River between Golden State Freeway and railroad over crossing of Yruxtun ^venue just west of City's Corporation Yard. Low hanging branches are being raised to a height of 4 - 5 feet above ground in order to provide site lines through what may otherwise be a very dense maze of cover. The lengthy project is approximately 60% complete. The project compliments work performed by Water Department on the west river bank earlier this year. Both projects eliminated shanty towns and reduced other problems otherwise hidden within tree foliage. Thanks to Kern River P~rkway group for und~rSt'anding and supporting or goal of providing a safe environment along the Kern River.

The curb and gutter was surveyed and was discovered to be extremely fiat, which does not allow for proper drainage. Field observations also revealed that the majority of water was coming from landscape irrigation north of Summer Tree Lane. Two potential solutions are being explored. One would be to install a catch basin on the northwest comer of Summer Tree and Hasti Acres and mn a storm drain line into the Stine Canal. I have discussed this with the Water Department and we will need to get approval from Kern Delta Water District, since it is their canal. We are currently working toward getting approval. The second, more difficult, option would be to install a catch basin in the same corner as above and run a storm drain line approximately 700' to the west into the sump. It is not known whether this is possible yet due to underground utilities such as water services, Pacific Bell lines, electrical and gas lines. This option will be explored further if option one fails. cc: Joe Lozano, Public Works Operations Manager MF~h M-Summer Tree Lane BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: RAUL ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ///~ j DATE: SEPTEMBER 6, 2000 SUBJECT: PAVING ON LOTUS LANE Council Referral WF0018585 1001 Councilmember Carson referred to Public Works the issue of completing the paving on Lotus Lane Public Works staff will research the possibility of using Gas Tax funding to complete the street improvements on Lotus Lane.

This question is in relation to the PROPOSITION 10 monies that might become available to put fluoride in the drinking water in some areas of Bakersfield. MEMORANDUM September 7, 2000 TO: Gene Bogart, Water Resources Manager FROM: Florn Core,~aater~esources Director SUBJECT: Fluoridation of Water Supply The passage of the 1995 California Fluoridation Act (Assembly Bill 733 sponsored by State Senator Jackie Speier D-Hillsborough) added to the California Health and Safety Code the requirement to fluoridate all public water systems of over 10,000 service connections. The requirement has since been codified into the California Public Resources Code (PRC) and is law. The California Department of Health Services, Drinking Water Field Branch (DOHS) has been given the responsibility for overseeing this law. The code provides that an eligible public water system is not required to comply until funds sufficient to pay capital and associated costs for the entire system are available from sources other than ratepayers, shareholders or taxpayers of that system. Staff recently contacted DOHS on fluoridating only small areas of a public water system. The DOHS now interprets that the PRC requirement is the entire public water system shall be fluoridated when implemented, not a portion of it. The physical detaching or segmenting a portion of a public water system by closing valves, adjusting water well delivery or regulating pressure for fluoridation will not be allowed by the DOHS under the PRC. Essentially the"all-or-nothing" approach. This applies to the full service territory of an affected public water system, such as the City of Bakersfield's Domestic Water System or the California Water Service Co. area. Since the fluoridation requirement is law and if a public water system has secured outside funding sources to fluoridate its entire system, the system operator is not required to hold public hearings on the issue. According to the DOHS, the operatOr is required to notify and advise its customer of impending fluoridation. The notification is to give the date of implementing the fluoridation so the customer that may be using fluoride supplements can adjust their habits. The notices would most likely be by mail with inserts in billings, but could include published notifications. BAKERSFIELD CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM September 8, 2000 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: John W. Stinso(~,~)A~ssistant City Manager SUBJECT: Update on status of tree referral to Urban Development Committee The Urban Development Committee met on August 9, 2000 with representatives from the Tree Foundation. The Tree Foundation of Kern has requested that the City adopt their Strategic Plan. Staff met with representatives from the Foundation to review their Plan and there was concern that some of the recommendations in the Plan involve planning issues that are subject to public review and comment and from a legal standpoint perhaps environmental review. Staff suggested that because the Plan takes in the metropolitan area including unincorporated areas of the County, North Bakersfield Recreation and Parks District, and School Districts that some of the plan concepts and proposals could be incorporated in the 2010 Plan update now is progress. The 2010 Plan update is a combined review by the City and County and would address the issue of public review and environmental issues. Also the City is planning to hire an Urban Forester, approved is this year's budget, who could add expertise on how the Foundation's plan could be implemented. The Tree Foundation also requested that the City form a tree advisory board. Because their plan encompasses so many jurisdictions, the Committee suggested an advisory committee be formed with each Councilmember appointing a member and also invite all entities covered by the Plan to have a representative on the committee. Dana Adams, Tree Foundation, spoke regarding updating their Strategic Plan and agreed with the idea of including representatives from other entities on a tree advisory Committee. Rick Hewett, Tree Foundation, said he would like to see the City move ahead as soon as possible to develop a new, improved tree ordinance. He also wants the City to establish a stand-alone advisory committee. He stated one of the conditions for the City to be able to continue qualifying for the Tree City USA designation is to have an active tree advisory committee. S 5JOHNXUrbanDev\Trees Update memo.wpd Pam Pecarich spoke in support of the efforts of the Tree Foundation and the need for a new tree ordinance and a stand-alone advisory committee. Pauline Larwood, Smart Growth Coalition, spoke regarding a survey they did and results showing the number one issue the citizens were concerned about was trees and water. She presented an idea that the City give two free trees to citizens and spoke in support of forming an advisory group. Cassie Daniel, Bakersfield Associations of Realtors, spoke regarding private property rights and citizens retaining their rights to plant trees of their choice or to take out trees on their own · residential property. Committee member Couch spoke about his referral which was made because Ralph's shopping center took out all the large trees and replaced them with little trees. He directed staff when they come back to the Committee with a draft ordinance, to address the issue of regulating commercial development so that if large trees are taken out, there is a requirement to replace them with same-size trees. The Committee directed staffto come back to the Committee with: 1) a specific ordinance that pertains to commercial development and requirements for trees, and 2) come back at the next committee meeting with a format for establishing a tree advisory commission. The Committee clarified that at this time we are only considering an ordinance for commercial development, not residential. The next Urban Development Committee meeting is scheduled for September 21, 2000. Staff is continuing to work with the representatives from the Tree Foundation regarding the Strategic Plan for trees and how it's concepts can be incorporated into 2010 General Plan policies.

Asbestos removal requires the coordination of multi-agencies and clearance. This coordination includes the State Department of Health Services, HUD, the Air-Pollution Control Board, the City's Environmental Service, Building Inspection Department and Economic and Community Development personnel. The removal process requires the testing of the structures and the development of a removal plan consistent in the proposed plan of action for the proposed plan of action for the building. The asbestos must then be removed by a state certified licensed contractor and workers consistent in the approved removal plan. Finally, the material removed from the site must be disposed of at a state certified disposal site. Asbestos removal can be eligible under three specific HUD activity designations: Clearance and Demolition; Economic Development Direct Financial Assistance to for-profit; and Rehabilitation of Multi-Family Residential depending on the type of structure and the activity proposed (rahab/demo). An asbestos removal program can be designed to rebate property owners the cost. of testing and/or designing of the removal plan, however, if CDBG funds are used for actual .rahab cost, prevailing wages would be triggered for the entire project. The testing and design cost would vary on the size of the building and the type of rehabilitation. Since this program would require the coordination with other agencies, I would suggest that this item be included as part of the CDBG Action Plan for FY 2001/2002 (as a demonstration project) so all the details can be identified before a large program is initiated. Please advise. dlk:P:\GEORGE~asb~stos removal program.

Matlock, Chief of Police ~ Subject: Response to Council Referral WF00~8584 - Concealed Weapon Permits "Council Member Mag~ord referred the issue of ~un permits for residents beinO annexed from th~ counW into th~ ciW..." Accordino to California Penal Code Section ~2050(a)(~), a sheriff or head of a municipal police depa~ment may issue a GGW license to persons who are of oood moral character, who have completed a cours~ of trainino, and wh~m 9ood cause exists for the issuance of the GGW License. In Kern County, there is a "9entlemen's aoreement" be~een the sheriff and chief of police that one will not issue a GGW license to a resident of the other's jurisdiction. The only exception to this agreement is when the applicant obtains a letter from the agency of jurisdiction in which that agency expresses they have no objection if the named' applicant for a CGW license is bein9 considered by the other jurisdiction. In the case of annexations into the City, the former county residents may continue to have their GGW licenses renewed through the Kern County Sheriff's Depa~ment, provided they do not allow their license to expire. Under current legislation, GGW licenses must be renewed eve~ ~o years. However, if they allow their county issued license to expire or it oets revoked, they would then have to apply to the Bakersfield Police DepaNment. Former county r~sidents who are first time applicants would, also need to apply through th~ police depaNment. Essentially, former county residents who possess a sheriff's depaNment issued GGW license would be unaffected by annexation as Ion9 as the license is kept current. If, however, a former county resident finds it necessa~ to apply to the police depaNment for a GCW license, they must then meet Bakersfield Police Depa~ment criteria for the issuance of the GGW license.

My staff has looked into them and have answered as many as possible today. Answers to the remaining questions will follow as soon as possible. 1. In the upgraded median design for the northeast, can the variety of tree be "broken up"-.that' is, can we use several different varieties of trees in groupings? Yes. 2. The trees along Panorama that appear to be dying - Mr. Maggards constituents have noticed that the irrigation water runs out onto the street. Are they being watered properly? What is wrong with the trees? Recently, there have been problems with stuck irrigation valves in this area. These have been repaired. Recreation and Parks is currently investigating the condition of the median trees - they have taken soft and leaf samples for testing to try to determine the problem, but as yet they do not have an answer. For more information, please contact Ed Lazarotti at Recreation and Parks - 326-3171. 3. How long does it take to put a maintenance district in place? Assuming that there is 100% approval from the affected property owners, it takes about three weeks to prepare the maps, descriptions, legal documents, and Agenda item. Also, an official ballot is sent to each of the affected property owners - time should be allotted to receive these responses. Then the Council approves a "Resolution of Intention" which sets the date of the G:t GR O OPDAT~Referral$~laggara'~medians et al. wpd September6, 2000, 3:29 pm RMR:mps --Page 1 of 4 Pages - September 6, 2000 Alan Tandy, City Manager Subject: Questions from Mike Maggard re: Maintenance District and Median Issues in Ward 3 public hearing about 45 days later. At this hearing, the City Council reviews any written protests that have been received and that are presented that night. If all is well and a majority of the property owners are in favor of the Maintenance District, then the Council can form the district. Nine weeks, minimum, but twelve weeks would be more likely. Stockdale Highway Maintenance District took one yearfrom the date staff sent out a letter to the residents asking for their input on the Formation of a Maintenance District to its conclusion. 4. When does the maintenance district "start"? As soon as the Council approves the district formation. If a district can be formed before June, then the assessment would appear on that November's tax bill. If the district is formed after June, then the assessment would appear on the following year's tax bill. 5. When does the maintenance district "end"? Maintenance Districts stay in place, and the assessments are put on the tax bill, for as long as there is something to maintain. So, effectively, the district do not "end". 6. Would the maintenance district assessment be raised if all of the trees die and have to be replaced? Under current policy, the trees would be replaced without an increase in the assessment. The City has not raised the Consolidated Maintenance District assessments for four years (since the advent of Proposition 218). 7. What are the "terms" of the maintenance district? How often and how much are the assessments raised? See above. The City Council theoretically could increase the fees each year after hearings at budget time. A strong effort is being made to avoid any increases on a long term basis in part because of complexities of State law.

Who would be included in the district? Staff is preparing a couple of different scenarios for this district. Ideally, a maintenance district will cover an area approximately one-half mile on each side of the median and, in part, to become gradually less dependent on the revenue source. 9. Can the money in Ward 3's park development fund be used to establish a trust fund whose interest would fund the maintenance of the street medians. Legally, these funds are not able to be used in this manner. They are collected as development fees and must be used for parks only. 10. Can he have a copy of the median ordinance? Please find attached excerpts from the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan, and the Subdivision and Engineering Design Manual regarding medians. 11. The property owners along Panorama near the old burn dump feel that the whole burn dump thing with the City buying and selling homes have devalued their property values. They feel it would be appropriate that they got their median for free. The Burn Dump has been remediated and a clean bill of health issued by the State. The argument could be presented to the City Council - it would be outside historic policies however. 12. What happened to the money for the sale of the homes - there was an article in The Bakersfield Californian that said the City got money for the sale of the homes and they also got some insurance money so there should be some excess. Where is it and can't it be used to close the dump? The money from the sale of the homes went back to the fund it was borrowed from to purchase the homes. Far less than ~00% of the cost was recovered. Some of the funds went back to the Capital Improvement Fund, and are as yet unallocated. Since they were borrowed in the first place should they belong to the City for general purposes or to the area?

Mr. Maggard would like to start considering a City wide Maintenance District with upgraded medians city-wide. Staff is preparing a report on this. State law would require an election. 14. Are there going to be demonstration upgraded medians in each ward? VVhere are ~ the other demonstration medians? No. Two were done to help the new Committee select a new standard. None are planned. 15. Mr. Maggard understands that there is some additional funding available now for medians - can this be used for additional medians in the northeast? A proposal was presented at the City Council workshop of August 30. 16. If the City built medians City-wide, how long would it take to build them all? Approximately 36 months assuming funds were on hand. 17. The residents of Panorama have been told by a landscaping contractor that "he" could put medians in cheaper that the City does now. The City is required by law to pay prevailing wage on all City projects. This adds anywhere from 10% to 25% to the cost of the project. If medians are being constructed by a developer in a newly developing area, then that developer does not have to use prevailing wage since the median construction is not a City project. In this case, the medians would be constructed by the City and the prevailing wage would have to be paid. xc: Reading File Project File Jacques R. La Rochelle Madan P.

The area on Dana Street at Cardinal Avenue is an apartment complex neighborhood and is posted for street sweeping. One side of the street is swept every third Tuesday of each month and the opposite side is swept every third Wednesday of each month. This sweeping schedule was adopted by Council, so that apartment residence could still use one side of the street for parking during sweeping days and not be worried' about receiving a parking citation if they forget to move their vehicles. During recent sweeping days for this area, the Police Department had not been sending Traffic Control Officers to enforce the posted parking schedule. This was due to lack of personnel. Recently, we found out that Code Enforcement personnel could issue parking violations. We have contacted them and they will be enforcing the NO PARKING ordinance .during sweeping days for the Cardinal Avenue and Dana Street area. · Hopefully, this will help in clearing the area for sweeping.

I"COUCH REFERRED TO STAFF.4 CITIZEN'S LETTER REGARDING LIGHT -- SYNCHR ONIZ,4 TION FOR A RESPONSE. The letter frOm Mr. R. A. Campbell was received by the Traffic Engineer and a letter responding to Mr. Campbell was prepared. Since Mr. Campbell does not reside in the City of Bakersfield and his comments on traffic signals were not specific to location, a copy of his letter is being sent to the Kern County Roads Department for their information and response to Mr. Campbell. The County maintained traffic signals in the Niles Street area of Kern County, near Mr. Campbell's residence, are not coordinated or synchronized. Most of the major streets in the City limits are synchronized using the same traffic model software and tools that are used in Australia.

ROJAS, DIRECTOR · CITY ENGIlqEER August 29, 2000 R. A. Campbell 3005 Horace Mann Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93306 Dear R. A. Campbell: A copy of your recent letter to the City Council was given to me. Thank you for taking the 'time to write us. It has been a few years since we last heard from you. From your letter, it sounds like your are enjoying the visit to Australia and the Gold Coast of Queensland again. I am glad to' hear from you again that the roadways are so well maintained and efficient in Australia. Especially that the traffic signal systems are so well programmed that few cars have to wait. One of the systems they may be using is the Split Cycle Offset Optimization Technique (SCOOT) system. As I recall, this is based on a system developed in England. The system uses traffic adaptive control. Under traffic adaptive control, the system continuously monitors traffic flow and optimizes traffic signal timing based on an on-line traffic flow model and data from monitors in the roadway. There are a few very large metropolitan' areas of Australia that are using this system and it works well. Several very large cities in the eastern United States are also using this multi-million dollar adaptive control program where they have long lengths of a road corridor, such as the 12 mile corridor you mentioned in your letter, to funnel traffic and the time period of the peak traffic is more than just a few hours. The system is very expensive and requires a large number of staffto maintain. Fortunately, our road corridors in Bakersfield are only a few miles long and the .peak traffic periods are short. Driver characteristics also affect traffic flow. Since I have never been to Australia, I don't have a comparison I can consider for the traffic loading and variations that the Australians encounter on their roadways. Even in the United States, the driver attitudes and actions can vary greatly from state to state, and city to city, in how drivers react to traffic controls, speed limits and signals. Driver attitude and courtesy to the other driver also affects the . use of the "Yield" signs in Bakersfield, if not all of California. To be effective, they have to be obeyed. There are many locations where I would think a "Yield" sign should work but the driving public does not cooperate. I'm sure you are correct in estimating that some reductions in pollution would be possible, if "Yield" signs were effective. For our signal timing in Bakersfield, we are trained in, and use, several traffic modeling programs to assist in coordinating our signals. These are the same programs that are used throughout the world and many are used in your favorite parts of Australia. Some of the computer programs we use include: TRANSIT 7F, a traffic flow simulation program that optimizes signal timing to minimize stops, delays, fuel consumption and costs; PASSER 11-90, a traffic progression analysis package and signal system evaluation computer routine that was developed by the Texas Transportation Institute for the Texas Department of Transportation and is used all over the world; HCS, a highway capacity programs for roadways and traffic signals to calculate the efficiency of intersections and developed by the Federal Highway Administration; and, Synchro Trafficware, a computer program that quickly generates signal timing plans for coordinating signals by optimizing splits, cycle lengths, offsets and lead-lag phasing of signals. These are just a few of the tools we use in the City of Bakersfield for timing signals. The County also uses many of these same programs in your area of the unincorporated County of Kern to time the signals on County roads such as nearby Niles Street or Mt. Vernon Avenue. Since you live in the County, you may wish to contact the Kern County Roads Department regarding the signals in the area where you live, as those are maintained with County signal timing parameters. I thank you again for your letter and interest in our community, both in the City and in the County, to improve the quality of life with efficient transportation. Please drop by our offices sometime and we can discuss the traffic you have encountered in your travels and the use of traffic control your area of the County and in the City.

IRECE VED CITY MANAGER'S OFF~CE BAKERSFIELD CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEM~ORAN D'U M SEPTEMBER 7, 2000 TO: ALAN T/~NDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: TRUDY SLATER, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST III ~ ~ SUBJECT: GLOBAL WARMING RESOLUTION REQUEST Responding to a request from Councilmember Couch, I have placed a call to the League of California Cities library for information on California cities which have passed global warming resolutions. League library staff.are currently attending the Annual Conference and are expected to .return September 12 when I can expect a response. The e-mail request from Joe Mirabile, Director of an organization called EcoBridge, San Francisco, seeks the City Council support of the .Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenwaste and to encourage California U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer "to do everything within their power to vigorously pursue the ratification of the Kyoto agreement." The more than 20~page Kyoto Protocol came out of a December 1997 United Nations' Framework Convention on Climate Control. According to Mr. Mirabile, in order for the Kyoto agreement to become effective in the U.S., it must be ratified by the U.S. Senate. P:~AT~M0009072 CitY Council - Global warming resOlution From: Joseph Mirabile <jam 12 @ ix.netcom.com> To: <city_council @ ci.bakersfield.ca.us> Date: Tue, Aug 22, 2000 1:06 AM Subject: Global warming resolution To: All Councilmembers Dear Councilmember, This planet is heating uP at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. Seven years of the 1990's have been the warmest on record since the 1800's. Based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and results from a United Kingdom Hadley Centre climate model, temperatures in California, over the next hundred years, could increase by 5 degrees F in the winter and summer and slightly less in the spring and fall. A Canadian climate model also projects an increase of 5 degrees F over the course of this century. EcoBridge, an environmental organization located in San Francisco has been working on a legislative campaign, contacting members of citY councils nationwide. With each council we are asking council members, such as yourself, to sponsor or cosponsor a resolution (see below) endorsing the Kyoto Protocol. The resolution would include a statement urging both state's senators to assist in the U.S. Senate ratification of the agreement. So far the cities that have passed this resolution are Miami, New Orleans, West Palm Beach, Atlanta, Oakland, San Francisco, Ormond Beach and others. What is described below are those changes in California that global warming has brought and promises.to bring. As the EPA says, these changes may have occurred' in the past, but over centuries or millenia, not over decades. Greenhouse gases, entering the atmosphere each year, are playing havoc with our atmosphere, threatening our resources, our property, our lives. And it's an accelerating process. We must begin to address global warming now. The quality of our lives and our children's lives is at stake. According to a publication by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and the Ecological Society of America (ESA), there will be more rain in future California winters and less snow. This will lead to greater winter runoff and decreased summer stream flow. California's summers are likely to remain hot and dry, and perhaps become hotter and drier. There is evidence that global warming is already changing the Sierra runoff pattern. The UCS/ESA report states that the period 1965-1990 produced an Distril:xJ~e~l lo: increased winter and spring runoff, compared to the period 1939-1964. Meyor Increases in winter rains might intensify flood and landslide potential. It was winter rains in late December, 1996 and early January, 1997, in Counc~ the Sierra, together with unusually warm temperatures that produced a tremendous snowmelt, resulting in one of California's most devastating '.'.~[ty Mgr floods with damages of about $2 billion. C...ity Arty · ?~th~; ................ Water availability for cities and farms would be compounded with a population that is expected to double by 2040. A shift away from : water-intensive crops such as alfalfa, cotton and grapes might be ¢~2~-j~'~-]~-.,~'"'-."' .... i" C~ty Councd - Global Warming reSOlUtion .... ' ............ !':' ...... F~'~ I expected, according to the UCS/ESA report. Together these crops use about one-third of California's irrigation water. The National Assessment of Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, a report issued through the United States Global Change Research Program, states that higher temperatures may bring to California crops increased heat stress, weeds, pests and pathogens, together with curtailed crop production as a result of more floods and less irrigation water availability due to decreased snowpack. The EPA warns that the trend of higher temperatures could increase ozone concentrations. Urban ozone levels tend to increase with strong sunlight and stable air masses, along with the higher temperatures. Ground level ozone has been shown to aggravate respiratory illnesses such as asthma, reduce lung function and induce respiratory inflammation. In the Bay Area and the Central Valley a 7 degree Fahrenheit increase would increase ozone levels by 20% and almost double the size of the area not meeting national standards for air quality. The EPA mentions one study that estimates a doubling of summer heat-related deaths in Los Angeles from about 70 today to 125, if temperatures increase by 3 degrees Fahrenheit. Climbing temperatures, bringing hotter and drier weather into forest regions, could increase the frequency and intensity of wildfires, threatening property, trees and species. The habitats of cold water fish, such as mountain whitefish, brook trout, cold water guild, chinook salmon, and kokanee salmon, could be negatively impacted by climate change, according to the EPA. Along the Sierra, drier conditions could reduce the range and productivity of conifer and oak forests. It is reported that due to warming temperatures, the spruce bark beetle has destroyed about 3 million acres of Spruce on the Kenai Peninsula, south of Anchorage, Alaska. Now that the spruce bark beetle has done its work, the Alaska timber industry will attempt to harvest the timber while it retains its marketability, an unanticipated avenue to clear-cutting. Now we have the pine bark beetle of California. If continued higher temperatures stress trees, the pine bark beetle could do a lot of damage in California, says the UCS/ESP report Sea level rise may lead to flooding and erosion of coastal property, loss of wetlands, erosion of beaches and much more. Also, sea level rise could increase the storm potential for coastal areas. For example, the Oakland-based research group, the Pacific Institute, says that, a 6 inch rise in sea level in the Pacific Ocean could increase the intensity of a storm at the golden gate entrance to San Francisco Bay from a l-in-100 year storm to a l-in-10 year storm. The National Assessment report states that although higher temperatures may bring backpackers and campers to higher elevations, skiing will probably decrease due. to reduced snowpack. From 1951 to 1996 the length of the snow season has decreased by 16 days. Just a loss of 16 days may not sound like much, until one sees that this planet is in an accelerating process of warming, especially evidenced by the meltdown of glaciers and sea ice at higher altitudes and latitudes. It's possible it wont take another 45 years to reduce the snow season another 16 days. As the damage from global warming mounts in scope and pace, we are not doing enough to mitigate greenhouse gases. The Kyoto Protocol, in which the U.S., the European Union and Japan have agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, will answer the need to make a significant impact towards reversing global warming. Basically, the Kyoto Protocol (see below a web site from which you can read or print a copy of the Kyoto agreement) requires the U.S, the European Union and Japan to reduce their greenhouse gases 7%, 8% and 6%, respectively, below 1990 levels by 2012. However, in order for the Kyoto agreement to become effective in the U.S., it must be ratified by the U.S. Senate. On October 1, 1997 1500 of the world's top scientists, including a substantial majority of the living Nobel laureates in science, called for strong action to reverse global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, comprising 2500 scientists, risk assessment experts and economists from all over the world, backs the Kyoto Protocol. This message is going to all members of your city council. We hope you will consider sponsoring or cosponsoring this resolution. If you do offer this resolution to your city council, please let us know by e-mail.

THIS RESOLUTION FURTHER URGES SENATORS DIANE FEINSTEIN AND BARBARA BOXER TO ASSIST IN THE U.S SENATE RATIFICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. WHEREAS, The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that the global climate is warming. The IPCC projects by the end of the 21st century an increase in global mean surface temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to an increase in sea level between 6 and 37 inches. In fact, the pace of the current warming trend is consistent with an increase of 5.4 to 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the 21 st centurY· In comparison temperatures have increased by only 5 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit, since the depths of the last ice age, 18,000 to 20,000 years ago; and WHEREAS, the 7 warmest years on record have all occurred in the 1990's, 1998 being the warmest yet. In July of 1995, the fourth warmest year on record, a heat wave hit the Midwest killing over 700 people in Chicago alone. In 1999 a July heat wave hit the eastern U.S. and caused over 250 heat-related deaths. Comparatively, during the average summer in the U.S, there are about 175 heat-related deaths; and WHEREAS, according to Dr. Thomas Karl, senior scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center: "High temperatures are likely to become more extreme, and because night temperatures will increase by at least as much as daytime temperatures, heat waves should become more serious;" and WHEREAS, according to Karl, precipitation has increased 10% in the United States during this century. Most of the increase has been in the extreme events (floods, storms), very little in the moderate, beneficial rains, and WHEREAS, the expected loss of wetland areas due to sea level rise, the loss of forests due to the stress of increasing temperatures, and the loss of wildlife populating these forests and wetland areas will have an effect on our quality of life and the lives of future generations. Those coastal cities faced with possible sea level rise may have to redesign and adapt water, sewer and transportation systems; and WHEREAS, the IPCC has determined that climate change during the next 50 to 100 years will have a greater impact on world fisheries than over-fishing itself; and WHEREAS, climate change is already threatening the planet with a spread of infectious diseases, which will move farther northward and to higher elevations. The World Heath Organization projects tens of millions more cases of malaria and other infectious diseases. "The spread of infectious disease will be the most important public health problem related to climate change," states Jonathon Patz, John Hopkins microbiologist who is working on the issue at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and WHEREAS, on December 11, 1997 a modest agreement was brought forth in Kyoto, Japan, to begin the process of addressing climate change. Subject to ratification of the U.S. Senate, the United States agreed to reduce carbon em issions by 7% below 1990 levels by the year 2012, while the European Union and Japan agreed to an 8% and 6% cut in emissions, respectively. As the Montreal Protocol of 1987 led to the world-wide reduction of the ozone-destroying chemical, chlorofluorocarbon, the Kyoto agreement has spurred hope that we can begin to mitigate greenhouse gases; and WHEREAS, a city council is sometimes called upon to register its support for an environmental issue. The monumental potential for human and environmental damage posed by global warming requires the United States to begin the process of addressing climate change. As Dr. George M. Woodwell, noted scientist.and founder of Woods Hole Research Center said, "The risks of global warming are real, palpable, the effects are accumulating daily, and the costs of correcting the trend rise with each day's delay." If the voices of future generation, the unborn children of tomorrow, could be heard, they would plead for action; so therefore be it RESOLVED; that this city council supports the Kyoto plan as a small but significant step to reducing greenhouse gases and stabilizing the global atmosphere. We strongly urge senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer to do everything within their power to vigorously ~ursue the ratification of the Kyoto agreement.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1785, Villaraigosa. Hate violence. (1) Existing law requires the State Board of Education to revise as specified, the state curriculum frameworks and guidelines and the moral and civic education curricula to include human relations education, with the aim of fostering an appreciation of people of different ethnicities. This bill instead would require the State Board of Education to revise the state curriculum frameworks and guidelines and the moral and civic education curricula to include human relations education, with the aim of fostering an appreciation of the diversity of California's population and discouraging the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices. (2) Existing law states the Legislature's intent relating to school safety and violence prevention and that schoolsites receiving funds accomplish specified goals. This bill would state the Legislature's additional intent that public schools have access to supplemental resources to combat bias based on membership in specified groups or classifications, and to prevent and respond to acts of hate violence and bias related incidents. The bill would also state additional goals for schoolsites receiving funds to include programs and curricula relating to bias, stereotyping, and discrimination as specified. (3) Existing law empowers the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to issue a certificate that authorizes the holder of the certificate to provide various services to limited-English-proficient pupils. Minimum requirements are specified for issuance of that certificate. This bill would add a course in human relations as a prerequisite to obtaining the above credential and would define culture and cultural diversity to mean an understanding of human relations as specified. (4) Existing law requires that school districts report on crimes committed on school grounds, as specified. Existing law requires the State Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Justice and a representative selection of school districts, to develop a standard school crime reporting form. Existing law requires the department to identify guidelines for reporting, and documentation for validating, the incidents of each crime description included on the standard school crime reporting forms, as specified. 1 of 8 9/7/00 10:05 AM AB 1785 Assembly Bill - ENROLLED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...b_1785 bill 20000830~_enrolled.html This bill would require the department to specifically include reporting of hate motivated incidents and hate crimes, as defined, on the standard school crime reporting form. This bill would also require the department to establish reporting guidelines and documentation for validation criteria for hate crimes, as defined. By increasing the reporting duty of school districts, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed $1,000,000. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (a) Hate motivated incidents and hate crimes jeopardize the safety and well-being of all students and staff and are injurious to those victimized by such behavior. Unfortunately, there has been an increasing level of hate motivated incidents and hate crimes in our schools and communities. (b) Current law requires school districts to report crime statistics to the State Department of Education for compilation in the annual California Safe Schools Assessment. However, the ongoing collection of information on the number of hate crimes and hate motivated incidents on school grounds is not part of the compilation. (c) In 1999, the Legislature enacted the Carl Washington School Safety and Violence Prevention Act, and appropriated one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) for its purposes. Preventing and responding to acts of hate violence should be an explicit priority for expenditure. (d) It should be the goal of the state to insure that students, teachers, administrators, and support staff appreciate and respect diversity, understand the roles and contributions of people of diverse groups, and are prepared to interact harmoniously, work productively, and thrive personally in a pluralistic society. (e) Better data collection of hate motivated incidents and hate crimes will provide useful information, locally and at the state level, to assist in targeting limited resources with greater effectiveness. SEC. 2. Section 233 of the Education Code is amended to read: 233. (a) At the request of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the State Board. of Education shall do all of the following as long as the board's actions do not result in a state mandate or an increase in costs to a state or local program: (1) Adopt policies directed toward creating a school environment in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, that is free from discriminatory attitudes and practices and acts of hate violence. (2) Revise, as needed, and in accordance with the State Board of Education's adopted Schedule for Curriculum Framework Development and Adoption of Instructional Materials developed pursuant to Section 60200, the state curriculum frameworks and guidelines and the moral and civic education curricula to include human relations education, with the aim of fostering an appreciation of the diversity of California's population and discouraging the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices. 2 of 8 9/7/00 10:05 AM AB 1785 Assembly Bill - ENROLLED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...b_1785 bill 20000830_enrolled.html (3) Establish guidelines for use in teacher and administrator in-service training programs to promote an appreciation of diversity and to discourage the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices that prevent pupils from achieving their full potential. (4) Establish guidelines for use in teacher and administrator in-service training programs designed to enable teachers and administrators to prevent and respond to acts of hate violence occurring on their school campuses. (5) Establish guidelines designed to raise the awareness and sensitivity of teachers, administrators, and school employees to potentially prejudicial and discriminatory behavior and to encourage the participation of these groups in these programs. (6) Develop guidelines relating to the development of nondiscriminatory instructional and counseling methods. (7) Revise any appropriate guidelines previously adopted by the board to include procedures for preventing and responding to acts of hate violence. (b) The State Department of Education, in accordance with policies established by the State Board of Education for purposes of this subdivision, shall do all of the following: (1) Prepare guidelines for the design and implementation of local programs and instructional curricula that promote understanding, awareness, and appreciation of the contributions of people with diverse backgrounds and of harmonious relations in a diverse society. The guidelines shall include methods of evaluating the programs and curricula and suggested procedures to ensure coordination of the programs and curricula with appropriate local public and private agencies. (2) Provide grants, from funds appropriated for that purpose, to school districts and county offices of education to develop programs and curricula consistent with the guidelines developed in paragraph (1). (3) To the extent possible, provide advice and direct services, consistent with the guidelines developed in paragraph (i), to school districts and county offices of education that implement the programs and curricula developed in paragraph (2). (c) The State Board of Education shall carry out this section only if private funds, in an amount sufficient to pay for related State Department of Education staff activities on behalf of the board, are made available. (d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the 9overnin9 board of a school district to offer any ethnic studies or human relations courses in the district. (e) As used in this section, "hate violence" means any act punishable under Section 422.6, 422.7, or 422.75 of the Penal Code. SEC. 3. Section 32228 of the Education Code is amended to read: 32228. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that public schools serving pupils in kindergarten or any of grades i to 12, inclusive, have access to supplemental resources to establish programs and strategies that promote school safety and emphasize violence prevention among children and youth in the public schools. (b) It is also the intent of the Legislature that public schools have access to supplemental resources to combat bias on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation, as defined in subdivision (q) of Section 12926 of the Government Code, and to prevent and respond to acts of hate violence and bias related incidents. Sexual orientation shall not include pedophilia. (c) It is further the intent of the Legislature that schoolsites receiving funds pursuant to this article accomplish all of the following goals: (1) Teach pupils techniques for resolving conflicts without violence. (2) Train school staff and administrators to support and promote 3 of 8 9/7/00 10:05 AM AB 1785 Assembly Bill - ENROLLED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...b_1785 bill 20000830_enrolled.html conflict resolution and mediation techniques for resolving conflicts between and among pupils. (3) Reduce incidents of violence at the schoolsite with an emphasis on prevention and early detection. SEC. 4.. Section 32228.1 of the Education Code is amended to read: 32228.1. (a) The School Safety and Violence Prevention Act is hereby established. This statewide program shall be administered by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who shall provide funds to school districts serving pupils in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, for the purpose of promoting school safety and reducing schoolsite violence. As a condition of receiving funds pursuant to this article, an eligible school district shall certify, on forms and in a manner required by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, that the funds will be used as described (b) From funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act or any other measure, funds shall be allocated to school districts on the basis of prior year enrollment, as reported by the California Basic Educational Data System, of pupils in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, for any one or more of the following purposes: (1) Providing schools with personnel, including, but not limited to, licensed or certificated school counselors, school social workers, school nurses, and school psychologists, who are trained in conflict resolution.

Code, and to amend Sections 628, 628.1, 628.2, and 628.5 of the Penal Code, relating to hate violence. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1785, as amended, Villaraigosa. Hate violence. (1) Existing law requires the State Board of Education to revise as specified, the state curriculum frameworks and guidelines and the moral and civic education curricula to include human relations education, with the aim of fostering and appreciation of people of different ethnicities. This bill instead would require the State Board of Education to revise the state curriculum frameworks and guidelines and the moral and civic education curricula to include human relations education, with the aim of fostering and an appreciation of the diversity of California's population and discouraging the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices. (2) Existing law states the Legislature's intent relating to school safety and violence prevention and that schoolsites receiving funds accomplish specified goals. This bill would state the Legislature's additional intent that public schools have access to supplemental resources to combat bias based on membership in specified groups or classifications, and to prevent and respond to acts of hate violence and bias related incidents. The bill would also state additional goals for schoolsites receiving funds to include programs and curricula relating to bias, stereotyping, and discrimination as specified. (3) Existing law empowers the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to issue a certificate that authorizes the holder of the certificate to provide various services to limited-English-proficient pupils. Minimum requirements are specified for issuance of that certificate. This bill would add a course in human relations as a prerequisite to obtaining the above credential and would define culture and cultural diversity to mean an understanding of human relations as specified. (4) Existing law requires that school districts report on crimes committed on school grounds, as specified. Existing law requires the State Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Justice and a representative selection of school districts, to develop a standard school crime reporting form. Existing law requires the department to identify guidelines for reporting, and documentation for validating, the incidents of each crime description included on the standard school crime reporting forms, as specified. This bill would require the department to specifically include reporting of hate motivated incidents and hate crimes, as defined, on the standard school crime reporting form. This bill would also 1 of 8 9/7/00 10:57 AM AB 1785 Assembly Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...785 bill 20000526_amended_asm.html require the department to establish reporting guidelines and documentation for. validation criteria for hate crimes, as defined. By increasing the reporting duty of school districts, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reiraburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reirabursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed $1,000,000. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (a) Hate motivated incidents and hate crimes jeopardize the safety and well-being of all students and staff and are injurious to those victimized by such behavior. Unfortunately, there has been an increasing level of hate motivated incidents and hate crimes in our schools and communities. (b) Current law requires school districts to report crime statistics to the State Department of Education for compilation in the annual California Safe Schools Assessment. However, the ongoing collection of information on the number of hate crimes and hate motivated incidents on school grounds is not part of the compilation. (c) In 1999, the Legislature enacted the Carl Washington School Safety and Violence Prevention Act, and appropriated one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) for its purposes. Preventing and responding to acts of hate violence should be an explicit priority for expenditure. (d) It should be the goal of the state to insure that students, teachers, administrators, and support staff appreciate and respect diversity, understand the roles and contributions of people of diverse groups, and are prepared to interact harmoniously, work productively, and thrive personally in a pluralistic society. (e) Better data collection of hate motivated incidents and hate crimes will provide useful information, locally and at the state level, to assist in targeting limited resources with greater effectiveness. SEC. 2. Section 233 of the Education Code is amended to read: 233. (a) At the request of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the State Board of Education shall do all of the following as long as the board's actions do not result in a state mandate or an increase in costs to a state or local program: (1) Adopt policies directed toward creating a school environment in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, that is free from discriminatory attitudes and practices and acts of hate violence. (2) Revise, as needed, and in accordance with the State Board of Education's adopted Schedule for Curriculum Framework Development and Adoption of Instructional Materials developed pursuant to Section 60200, the state curriculum frameworks and guidelines and the moral and civic education curricula to include human relations education, with the aim of fostering an appreciation of the diversity of California's population and discouraging the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices. (3) Establish guidelines for use in teacher and administrator 2 of 8 9/7/00 10:57 AM AB 1785 Assembly Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...785 bill 20000526_amended_asm.html in-service training programs to promote an appreciation of diversity and to discourage the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices that prevent pupils from achieving their full potential. (4) Establish guidelines for use in teacher and administrator in-service training programs designed to enable teachers and administrators to prevent and respond to acts of hate violence occurring on their school campuses. (5) Establish guidelines designed to raise the awareness and sensitivity of teachers, administrators, and school employees to potentially prejudicial and discriminatory behavior and to encourage the participation of these groups in these programs. (6) Develop guidelines relating to the development of nondiscriminatory instructional and counseling methods. (7) Revise any appropriate guidelines previously adopted by the board to include procedures for preventing and responding to acts of hate violence. (b) The State Department of Education, in accordance with policies established by the State Board of Education for purposes of this subdivision, shall do all of the following: (1) Prepare guidelines for the design and implementation of local programs and instructional curricula that promote understanding, awareness, and appreciation of the contributions of people with diverse backgrounds and of harmonious relations in a diverse society. The guidelines shall include methods of evaluating the programs and curricula and suggested procedures to ensure coordination of the programs and curricula with appropriate local public and private agencies. (2) Provide grants, from funds appropriated for that purpose, to school districts and county offices of education to develop programs and curricula consistent with the guidelines developed in paragraph (1). (3) To the extent possible, provide advice and direct services, consistent with the guidelines developed in paragraph (1), to school districts and county offices of education that implement the programs and curricula developed in paragraph (2). (c) The State Board of Education shall carry out this section only if private funds, in an amount sufficient to pay for related State Department of Education staff activities on behalf of the board, are made available. (d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the governing board of a school district to offer any ethnic studies or human relations courses in the district. (e) As used in this section, "hate violence" means any act punishable under Section 422.6, 422.7, or 422.75 of the Penal Code. SEC. 3. Section 32228 of the Education Code is amended to read: 32228. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that public schools serving pupils in grades 8 to 12, inclusive, have access to supplemental resources to establish programs and strategies that promote school safety and emphasize violence prevention among children and youth in the public schools. (b) It is also the intent of the Legislature that public schools have access to supplemental resources to combat bias on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation, and to prevent and respond to acts of hate violence and bias related incidents. (c) It is further the intent of the Legislature that schoolsites receiving funds pursuant to this article accomplish all of the following goals: (1) Teach pupils techniques for resolving conflicts without violence. (2) Train school staff and administrators to support and promote conflict resolution and mediation techniques for resolving conflicts between and among pupils. (3) Reduce incidents of violence at the schoolsite with an 3 of 8 9/7/00 10:57 AM AB 1785 Assembly Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...785 bill 20000526_amended_asm.html emphasis on prevention and early intervention. SEC. 4. Section 32228.1 of the Education Code is amended to read: 32228.1. (a) The School Safety and Violence Prevention Act is hereby established. This statewide program shall be administered by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who shall provide funds to school districts serving pupils in any of grades 8 to 12, inclusive, for the purpose of promoting school safety and reducing schoolsite violence. As a condition of receiving funds pursuant to this article, an eligible school district shall certify, on forms and in a manner required by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, that the funds will be used as described in this section. (b) From funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act or any other measure, funds shall be allocated to school districts on the basis of prior year enrollment, as reported by the California Basic Educational Data System, of pupils in grades 8 to 12, inclusive, for any one or more of the following purposes: (1) Providing schools with personnel, including, but not limited to, licensed or certificated school counselors, school social workers, school nurses, and school psychologists, who are trained in conflict resolution. Any law enforcement personnel hired pursuant to this article shall be trained and sworn peace officers. (2) Providing effective and accessible on-campus communication devices and other school safety infrastructure needs.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1326, as amended, Hayden. Human relations: school curriculum: hate crimes. Existing law requires the adopted course of study for grades 1 to 6, inclusive, to include instruction in the social sciences, among other areas of study, and the adopted course of study for grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to offer courses in the social sciences, among other courses. Existing law requires that the Social sciences courses offered in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, include instruction in human rights. This bill would require the State Department of Education to review and report to the State Board of Education on the extent of curricular units in grades 1 t~ 12, inclusive, focused on human relations, racism and anti-Semitism, and those intended to promote greater knowledge of the nature of diversity in California. The bill would require the review and report to take into account the conclusions and recommendations of the annual California Safe Schools Assessment, the extent of existing material in the social science curriculum, and make recommendations concerning the adequacy of the curricular units. The bill would require the state board, upon receipt of the report and recommendations, to make a determination as to whether the current levels of human relations materials measured in curricular units as well as extra-curricular programs offered by experts in conflict resolution are sufficient to produce a public school population literate in the cultural and racial patterns of history and society shaping California in the 21st century. The bill would further require that the review and recommendations be based on public hearings. The bill would require that any revision to the state's social science and history curricula occur during the curriculum review cycle pursuant to existing law. Existing law requires the governing board of each community college district, the Trustees of the California State University, the Board of Directors of the Hastings College of the Law, the Regents of the University of California, and the governing board of any postsecondary institution receiving public funds for student financial assistance to require the appropriate officials at each campus within their respective jurisdictions to compile records of all occurrences and arrests reported to various campus authorities for crimes that are committed on campus and that involve violence, hate violence, theft or destruction of property, illegal drugs, or alcohol intoxication, and occurrences of noncriminal acts of hate 1 of 6 9/7/00 10:16 AM SB 1326 Senate Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/se...326 bill 20000822_amended_asm.html violence reported to, and for which a written report is prepared by, designated campus authorities. This bill would require the Director of the California Postsecondary Education Commission to make implementation of the above-described provisions a priority and would delete application of those provisions to community colleges. The bill would require that failure to meaningfully implement the section be reported annually by the California Postsecondary Education Commission to the regents and trustees of the higher education segments, the civil rights division of the Office of the Attorney General, and the appropriate policy and budget committees of the Legislature. The bill would require that failure by the California Postsecondary Education Commission to issue the ~eports in a timely manner would be evaluated by the Legislative Analyst. Existing law requires the State Department of Education, in consultation with school districts and county offices of education, to identify guidelines for reporting and documentation for validating the incidents of each crime description contained on the standard school crime reporting forms. Existing l~w requires reporting guidelines and documentation to be established for each crime description, including, but not limited to, all of the following: battery, assault with a deadly weapon, graffiti, homicide, sex offenses, robbery, extortion, drug and alcohol offenses, possession of weapons, destructive devices, arson, burglary, theft, and vandalism. This bill would add hate crimes, as defined, to the list of crimes for which reporting guidelines are to be established and would thereby increase the reporting requirement for each principal of a school in a school district and each principal or director of a school, program, or camp under the jurisdiction of the county superintendent of schools, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed $1,000,000. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) The Legislature finds an urgent need for all public school pupils to study and engage in programs which explore the historical, cultural, psychological, and economic roots of prejudice and hatred, so as to improve the public safety and engender a climate of greater tolerance in schools and society. (b) California's school population is racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse. The changing pattern of our state's social fabric presents an opportunity to become a global society of meaningful~and stable multiculturalism. lc) The quality of public education and pupil achievement is affected profoundly where there is racial, ethnic, cultural, or other forms of misunderstanding, antagonism, bigotry, or hate among pupils. 2 of 6 9/7/00 10:16 AM SB 1326 Senate Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/se...326 bill 20000822_amended_asm.html (d) School districts are effective vehicles for teaching pupils about human relations, the history of racism and anti-Semitism, prejudice reduction, and violence prevention. (e) Through the use of a required educational curriculum, human relations materials that foster cooperation and group work can increase academic achievement and self-esteem and promote positive interaction among pupils from different racial, religious, cultural, and ethnic groups. SEC. 2. Section 51204.6 is added to the Education Code, to read: 51204.6. (a) The State Department of Education shall review, and report to the State Board of Education regarding the extent of curricular units in grades 1 to 12, inclusive, focused on human relations, racism and anti-Semitism, and which are intended to promote greater knowledge of the nature of diversity in California. The report shall contain recommendations concerning the adequacy of the curricular units. (b) The review and report shall take into account the conclusions and recommendations of the annual California Safe Schools Assessments and the extent of existing material in the social science curriculum, including, but not limited to, the training and instructional guidelines set forth in Section 233, the human relations pilot programs set forth in Sections 280 to 283, inclusive, the California history guidelines as set forth in Section 51204.5, the mandatory course requirements as set forth in Sections 51210 and 51225.3, and the Model Curriculum on Human Rights and Genocide adopted by the state board on October 2, 1987. (c) Upon receipt of the review and recommendations of the department, the state board shall make a finding to determine whether the current levels of human relations materials measured in curricular units as well as extra-curricular programs offered by experts in conflict resolution are sufficient to produce a public school population literate in the cultural and racial patterns of history and society shaping California in the 21st century. In consultation with the department, the state board shall report its findings to the Legislature and undertake any revisions in the state' s social science and history curricula, or any other school-based programs, which increase the scale and effectiveness of human relations knowledge. Any revision to the state's social science and history curricula shall occur during the normal curriculum review cycle pursuant to Section 60200. The review and recommendations reported to the Legislature shall include reports on all of the following: (1) The extent to which existing guidelines and mandates have resulted in human relations materials have been included in classroom content in the social science, government, and history curricula. (2) The extent to which the human relations curriculum materials' that are encouraged or mandated by the state are included in the present curriculum, and the extent to which they are included in pilot projects, voluntary electives, and other nonmandatory offerings. (3) The extent to which human relations or conflict resolution programs are offered on and off school grounds to pupils or staff. The review and recommendations shall be based on public hearings which shall include, but are not limited to: expert witnesses, pupils, faculty, staff, academic researchers, representatives of community-based organizations, and youth, having experience with the California Youth Authority or state prison system. (d) For the purposes of this section, a human relations curricular unit is a unit that addresses and creates greater educational understanding of the issues of racism, sexism, religious intolerance, ~ .... ~ ~ hatred and violence against persons based on their sexual orientation , bias against persons with disabilities, and other forms of bigotry, especially those likely to create acts of hate violence on school grounds or in the future. For the purposes of this section, a human relations or 3 of 6 9/7/00 10:16 AM SB 1326 Senate Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/se...326 bill 20000822_amended_asm.html conflict resolution program is one which promotes greater knowledge and appreciation of diversity, culture, and prejudice among pupils or staff in order to promote a safer and more tolerant campus community. SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that the California ?ostsecondary Education Commission and higher education segments have failed to comply for budgetary reasons with the purposes of Section 67380 of the Education Code requiring data collection and annual reports on incidents of hate crimes or acts of hate violence on college and university campuses. SEC. 4. Section 67380 of the Education Code is amended to read: 67380. (a) The governing board of each community college district, the Trustees of the California State University, the Board of Directors of the Hastings College of the Law, the Regents of the University of California, and the governing board of any postsecondary institution receiving public funds for student financial assistance shall do all of the following: (1) Require the appropriate officials at each campus within their respective jurisdictions to compile records of both of the following: (A) All occurrences reported to campus police, campus security personnel, or campus safety authorities of, and arrests for, crimes that are committed on campus and that involve violence, hate violence, theft or destruction of property, illegal drugs, or alcohol intoxication.

Notwithstanding paragraph (2) of subdivision (f) of Section 6254 of the Government Code, the name of a victim of any crime defined by Section 261, 262, 264, 264.1, 273a, 273d, 273.5, 286, 288, 288a, 289, 422.6, 422.7, or 422.75 of the Penal Code shall not be disclosed without the permission of the victim, or the victim's parent or guardian if the victim is a minor. For purposes of this paragraph and subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1), the campus police, campus security personnel, and campus safety authorities described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) shall be included within the meaning of "state or local police agency" and "state and local law enforcement agency," as those terms are used in subdivision (f) of Section 6254 of the Government Code. (4) Require the appropriate officials at each campus within their respective jurisdictions to prepare, prominently post, and copy for distribution on request a campus safety plan that sets forth all of the following: the availability and location of security personnel, methods for summoning assistance of security personnel, any special safeguards that have been established for particular facilities or activities, any actions taken in the preceding 18 months to increase safety, and any changes in safety precautions expected to be made during the next 24 months.

State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. {a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) As California enters the 21st century, the projected increase in the population of the state raises concerns about the quality of life that will be experienced by citizens of the state in the future. By the year 2020, the current population of the state of 33 million is projected to reach 45.3 million; in other words, the population of the state will increase by half the number of people it now has in the next twenty years. (2) The population growth the state is experiencing places a burden on the financial resources and physical infrastructure of our communities. (3) Research shows that young people are more likely to develop into healthy productive adults when they are provided with critical supports and opportunities throughout their development. (4) Social problems such as crime, drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, and academic failure are closely linked to the conditions in our communities. One in four adolescents are in significant trouble, ranging from drug abuse and teenage pregnancy to juvenile delinquency and more serious crimes. Of critical importance is that research shows that juvenile crime and risky behaviors spike in the afternoon hours of 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., when 55 percent of middle school children spend two or more hours each day at home without an adult. (5) It is crucial that the state address how local communities are organized to promote the healthy development of youth and respond to social problems. To this end, schools can serve as community centers, places where young people and adults receive lifelong instruction as well as having access to necessary social services. (6) The Beacon schools program in New York City is a premier example of the success that can be achieved when schools are used as community centers. The program began in 10 schools in 1991 to fight youth drug abuse. At these schools, staff workers use a youth development framework to help young people with homework and conduct after school after school recreation programs. The schools are also home to health clinics and social service centers to make these services more accessible to local residents. These schools have become community centers at which children and adults congregate every day of the year. The Beacon schools program has grown to include 75 schools that provide tens of thousands of youngsters with a safe structured environment after school and on weekends. (7) The Safe Haven after school after 2 of 11 9/7/00 10:39 AM AB 2556 Assembly Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pubPoill/as...556 bill 20000818_amended_sen.html school program operated by the city of Madison, Wisconsin, is another example of the opportunity schoolsites provide for improving the quality of life of our communities. The program is conducted at elementary schools in communities with high crime and poverty rates. Besides academic assistance and recreational activities, the schools alSo provide instruction in conflict resolution, such as peer mediation, to help pupils resolve disputes. The Safe Haven schools report improved school attendance and fewer conflicts among pupils during aftcr-schccl after school hours. (8). Healthy Start and other school and community partnerships are demonstrating their effectiveness in raising school achievement, strengthening families, and building strong communities. New school and community partnership collaboration programs should build on the experiences of these programs, particularly in the areas of training and technical assistance, and evaluation. (9) Launched in 1996, the San Francisco Beacon Initiative is a collaboration of the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Unified School District, private foundations, and local community organizations that oversee eight Beacon Centers housed in public schools. Run by a local community agency, Beacon Centers offer academic support, leadership and career deyelopment, arts and recreation programs, and health services. Ail programs are designed to offer support and opportunities for the healthy development of youth. Beacon Centers provide youth with a safe place where they can make positive connections with adults and peers, assume valued leadership roles, and engage in challenging learning activities. Ail Beacon Centers serve as platforms to attract and maintain numerous programs for their communities. (10) School and community partnership collaborations are necessary to achieve positive results for child, youth, families, and communities. (11) School reform will not succeed without addressing the holistic needs of children and students. (12) Parental involvement in youth activity and schooling is critical to the prevention of juvenile crime and the attainment of academic success. (13) A consensus is arising that school and community partnership collaborations offer a workable solution to an array of interrelated problems such as deteriorating schools, troubled children, overburdened families, at-risk communities, and fragmented service systems. (14) Research shows that school and community partnership collaborations have the capacity to improve educational outcomes and lower risky behaviors, particularly when these approaches involve cities and counties. (15) Schools should serve as community centers at which individuals receive education throughout their lives. Schools should be places where learning occurs "after school," in the evenings, in out-of-school time, during intersession, and on weekends. (16) Schools should support and provide a variety of social services in partnership with public, civic, and private organizations, as well as businesses. Any number of social services should be provided at schoolsites. (17) Most schools in the state, however, have been designed to serve only as instructional facilities. In most cases, school facilities are not available for use by the general public. Schools should, instead, be designed to sustain the relationship between a school and its community. (18) Schools should be built to serve as the centers of their communities. School gymnasiums and play fields should double as community recreation centers and parks, school auditoriums should also serve as community theaters, and the resources in school libraries should be made available to members of the local community. In addition, other community services should be provided at 3 of 11 9/7/00 10:39 AM AB 2556 Assembly Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...556 bill 20000818_amended_sen.html schoolsites to increase the availability of those services to the, residents of the community. (b) Therefore, the Legislature finds and declares that the concept of school and community partnership collaborations must be enhanced and expanded so that all youth, children, families and conununities are provided with resources for success. SEC. 2. Article 22.5 (commencing with Section 8484.7) is added to Chapter 2 of Part 6 of the Education Code, to read: Article 22.5. School Community Partnership Program 8484.7. The State Department of Education shall establish the School Community Partnership Program, the purposes of which include, but are not limited to, ensuring that all children and youths who are 5 to 18, inclusive, years of age have access to quality before school, after school, and out-of-school programs that do the following: (a) Enrich and enhance their lives and development. (b) Keep the children and youth out of trouble. (c) Encourage schools and communities to work together to provide services promoting healthy families. 8~8~.8.

The bill would require grants awarded under the bill to be matched by the school and community partnership collaboration and its participating agencies at a rate of $1 for every $2 received. .............. appropriate $~,nnn,0n0vvv v .......... ~ ~ Edueaticn for purposes cf thc grant program. Vote: 2,/3 majority Appropriation: yes no Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) As California enters the 21st century, the projected increase in the population of the state raises concerns about the quality of life that will be experienced by citizens of the state in the future. By the year 2020, the current population of the state of 33 million is projected to reach 45.3 million; in other words, the population of the state will increase by half the number of people it now has in the next twenty years. (2) The population growth the state is experiencing places a burden on the financial resources and physical infrastructure of our communities. (3) Social problems such as crime, drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, and academic failure are closely linked to the conditions in our communities. One in four adolescents are in significant trouble, ranging from drug abuse and teenage pregnancy to juvenile delinquency and more serious crimes. Of critical importance is that research shows that juvenile crime and risky behaviors spike in the afternoon hours of 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., when 55 percent of middle school children spend two or more hours each day at 1 of 7 9/7/00 11:04 AM AB 2556 Assembly Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...556 bill 2000053 l_amended_asm.html home without an adult. (4) It is crucial that the state address how local communities are organized to respond to social problems. To this end, schools can serve as community centers, places where young people and adults receive lifelong instruction as well as having access to necessary social services. (5) The Beacon schools program in New York City is a premier example of the success that can be achieved when schools are used as community centers. The program began in 10 schools in 1991 to fight youth drug abuse. At these schools, staff workers use a youth development framework to help pupils with homework and conduct after-school recreation programs. The schools are also home to health clinics and social service centers to make these services more accessible to local residents. These schools have become community centers at which children and adults congregate every day of the year. The Beacon schools program has grown to include 75 schools that provide tens of thousands of youngsters with a safe structured environment after school and on weekends. (6) The Safe Haven after-school program operated by the city of Madison, Wisconsin, is another example of the opportunity schoolsites provide for improving the quality of life of our communities. The program is conducted at elementary schools in communities with high crime and poverty rates. Besides academic assistance and recreational activities, the schools also provide instruction in conflict resolution, such as peer mediation, to help pupils resolve disputes. The Safe Haven schools report improved school attendance and fewer conflicts among pupils during after-school hours. (7) Healthy Star{, After School Learning and Safe Partnerships Programs and other school and community partnerships are demonstrating their effectiveness in raising school achievement, strengthening families, and building strong communities. New school and community partnership collaboration programs should build on the experiences of these programs, particularly in the areas of training and technical assistance, and evaluation. (8) Launched in 1996, the San Francisco Beacon Initiative is a collaboration of the San Francisco Unified School District, private foundations, and local community organizations that oversee eight Beacon Centers housed in public schools. Run by a local community agency, Beacon Centers offer academic support, leadership and career development, arts and recreation programs, and health services. All programs are designed to offer support and opportunities for the healthy development of youth. Beacon Centers provide youth with a safe place where they can make positive connections with adults and peers, assume valued leadership roles, and engage in challenging learning activities. All Beacon Centers serve as platforms to attract and maintain numerous programs for their communities. (9) School and community partnership collaborations are necessary to achieve positive results for child, youth, families, and communities. (10) School reform will not succeed without addressing the holistic needs of children and students. (11) Parental involvement in youth activity and schooling is critical to the Prevention of juvenile crime and the attainment of academic success. (12) A consensus is arising that school and community partnership collaborations offer a workable solution to an array of interrelated problems such as det'eriorating schools, troubled children, overburdened families, at-risk communities, and fragmented service systems. (13) Research shows that school and community partnership collaborations have the capacity to improve educational outcomes and lower risky behaviors, particularly when these approaches involve cities and counties. (14) Schools should serve as community centers at which individuals receive education throughout their lives. Schools should 2 of 7 9/7/00 11'04 AM AB 2556 Assembly Bill - AMENDED http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/as...556 bill 2000053 l_amended_asm.html be places where learning occurs "after school," in the evenings, in out-of-school time, during intersession, and on weekends. (15) Schools should support and provide a variety of social services in partnership with public, civic, and private organizations, as well as businesses. Any number of social services should be provided at schoolsites. (16) Most schools in the state, however, have been designed to serve only as instructional facilities. In most cases, school facilities are not available for use by the general public. Schools should, instead, be designed to sustain the relationship between a school and its community. (17) Schools should be built to serve as the centers of their communities. School gymnasiums and play fields should double as community recreation centers and parks, schoo~ auditoriums should also serve as community theaters, and the resources in school libraries should be made available to members of the local community. In addition, health clinics and other community services should be provided at schoolsites to increase the availability of those services to the residents of the community. (b) Therefore, the Legislature finds and declares that the concept of school and community partnership collaborations must be enhanced and expanded so that all youth, children, families and' communities are provided with resources for success. SEC. 2. Chapter 5.6 (commencing with Section 58740) is added to Part 31 of the Education Code, to read: CHAPTER 5.6. SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS GRANT PROGRAM 58740.

DEFERRED BUSINESS A. REVIEW AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A POLICY OF CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS (CHDO's) Community Development Coordinator George Gonzales provided the committee with a certification process policy, which included a housing project application, a statement of qualifications for CHDO's, and a CHDO certification review form. Committee reviewed the policy and feels no further action is needed at this time. Marvin Dean asked that consideration be given to in-fill housing projects with a preference for distressed areas. Mr. Thiltgen indicated the City was preempted from changing/modifying federal procedures to include a local preference procedure. B. REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION REGARDING DRAFTING AN ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION OUTLINING THE ANNEXATION PROCESS WITH CONSIDERATION OF SUGGESTIONS FROM THE ANNEXATION TASK FORCE; REVIEW OF DRAFT GUIDE TO ANNEXATION PROCESS City Clerk Pamela McCarthy presented the latest version of the proposed annexation guide. Further input was received from the public and Committee members. After lengthy discussion, Chairman David Couch reiterated the guide presented general information and was not a step-by-step annexation process. Discussion on ~he draft resolution ensued. A handout from a member of the public was provided to the Committee suggesting alternative language and in the form of an ordinance. Attendees were requested to provide information to Committee staff ahead of time (at least a week) in order for Committee members to be able to review the information prior to the-meeting. Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan indicated the appropriateness of using a resolution. Councilmember Couch asked Mr. Thiltgen to contact the County Counsel .Bernard Barman to see if the County-has ever passed an ordinance directing staff to do something. Councilmember Pat DeMond suggested removing the resolution from the workshop and presenting only the guide. It was agreed only the revised guide would be presented to Council in the information workshop on July 19 at 5:15 p.m. Agenda Summary Report Legislative and Litigation Committee July 13, 2000 Page 3 6. NEW BUSINESS A. REVIEWAND.RECOMMENDATION RELATING TO INCREASING PENALTIES FOR LITTERING IN THE CITY Mr. Thiltgen explained that the City of'Bakersfield was preempted by state law from modifying state litter laws. Councilmember Couch felt additional enforcement should be pursued. Assistant City-Manager John Stinson indicated this could conceivably · be a component of the overall .community policing .program. Councilmember Sullivan encouraged education to help alleviate issues relating to littering. B. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LEAGUE VOTING DELEGATE A'ND ALTERNATE DELEGATE TO LEAGUE ANNUAL CONFERENCE Voting Delegates and Alternates are normally appointed from among Councilmembers attending the League Annual Conference. Councilmember Couch indicated his willingness to serve again as Voting Delegate to the League meeting or as Voting Alternate if other Councilmembers wished to serve as Voting Delegate. Councilmember Couch had served as Voting Delegate the previous year. The Committee agreed that Councilmember Couch should serve as Voting Delegate if another could not do so. Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan agreed to serve as Voting Alternate. An administrative report with the Committee's recommendation will be placed on the Council agenda for its meeting in August. C. REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION OF TIME WARNER CABLE REQUEST FOR A 24-MONTH WAIVER OF FRANCHISE FEES RELATING TO ROAD RUNNER INTERNET SERVICE, INCLUDING CHARTER SECTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS. Administrative Analyst Trudy Slater provided background information on cable franchise fees and concerns relating to Time Warner's request for exempting, fees in connection with its RoadRunner services. These included: an exemption of the RoadRunner-related fees has a impact on all Bakersfield residents because of the · loss of revenues for use of the public's right of way (including franchise fees from customers as well as advertising revenues paid to Time Warner for use of' its RoadRunner services); the benefit of the exemption to a select number of cable customers; and the need to work with the cable company to provide no or Iow-cost benefits to offset the revenue loss. These were in addition to those included in the administrative report to Council at its meeting of June 28, 2000. Other issues discussed included the possible ramifications of court rulings relative to cable companies, "open access," telecommunications companies, and Federal Communications Commission determinations. Staff recommended denial of the exemption. Agenda Summary Report Legislative and Litigation Committee July 13, 2000 Page 4 Committee members felt a waiver of the fees would have a long term net gain for the community, that 'RoadRunner service was essentially a "start up business," and that Cox Communications should be given the same exemption when it began a similar product (i..e., Cox@Home) - 24 months from time of launching the product in the Bakersfield area. Mr. Thiltgen explained the process and related time frame under which a franchise fee exemption could be granted to Time Warner for RoadRunner services. Staffwas directed to prepare a committee report recommending a one-time franchise fee exemption be granted to Time Warner for RoadRunner services with a similar agreement to be made for Cox Communications at the appropriate time. Time Warner Division President Bill Grinstead agreed with Assistant City Manager Alan Christensen that Time Warner would work with the City to explore no-cost or Iow-cost benefits to the City during the exemption period. 7.

Sincerely Randy Michaud ! citY CounCil- Global Warming resolution From: Joseph Mirabile <jam 12@ ix.netcom.com> To: <citY_council @ ci.bakersfield.ca.us> Date: Tue, Aug 22, 2000 1:06 AM Subject: Global warming resolution To: All Councilmembers Dear Councilmember, This planet is heating up at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. Seven years of the 1990's have been the warmest on record since the 1800's. Based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and results from a United Kingdom Hadley Centre climate model, temperatures in California, over the next hundred years, could increase by 5 degrees F in the winter and summer and slightly less in the spring and fall. A Canadian climate model also projects an increase of 5 degrees F over the course of this century. EcoBridge, an environmental organization located in San Francisco has been working on a legislative campaign, contacting members of city councils nationwide. With each council we are asking council members, such as yourself, to sponsor or cosponsor a resolution (see below) endorsing the Kyoto Protocol. The resolution would include a statement urging both state's senators to assist in the U.S. Senate ratification of the agreement. So far the cities that have passed this resolution are Miami, New Orleans, West Palm Beach, Atlanta, Oakland, San Francisco, Ormond Beach and others. What is described below are those changes in California that global warming has brought and promises to bring. As the EPA says, these changes may have occurred in the past, but over centuries or millenia, not over decades. Greenhouse gases, entering the atmosphere each year, are playing havoc with our atmosphere, threatening our resources, our property, our lives. And it's an accelerating process. We must begin to address global warming now. The qualitY of our lives and our children's lives is at stake. According to a publication by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and the Ecological Society of America (ESA), there will be more rain in future California winters and less snow. This will lead to greater winter runoff and decreased summer stream flow. California's summers are likely to remain hot and dry, and perhaps become hotter and drier. There is evidence that global warming is already changing the Sierra runoff pattern. The UCS/ESA report states that the period 1965-1990 produced an Distril:x~e~l to: increased winter and spring runoff, compared to the period 1939-1964. Mayor Increases in winter rains might intensify flood and landslide potential. It was winter rains in late December, 1996 and early January, 1997, in Counc~ the Sierra, togethe.r with unusually warm temperatures that produced a · '.'.3ity Mgr tremendous snowmelt, resulting in one of California's most devastating · floods with damages of about $2 billion. C. ib' Arty '?~th~,~ .................. Water availability for cities and farms would be compounded with a population that is expected to double by 2040. A shift away from water-intensive crops such as alfalfa, cotton and grapes might be .... Global warming reSOlution expected, according to the UCS/ESA report. Together these crops use about one-third of California's irrigation water. The National Assessment of Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, a report issued through the United States Global Change Research Program, states that higher temperatures may bring to California crops increased heat stress, weeds, pests and pathogens, together with curtailed crop production as a result of more floods and less irrigation water availability due to decreased snowpack. The EPA warns that the trend of higher temperatures could increase ozone concentrations. Urban ozone levels tend to increase with strong sunlight and stable air masses, along with the higher temperatures. Ground level ozone has been shown to aggravate respiratory illnesses such as asthma, reduce lung function and induce respiratory inflammation. In the Bay Area and the Central Valley a 7 degree Fahrenheit increase would increase ozone levels by 20% and almost double the size of the area not meeting national standards for air quality. The EPA mentions one study that estimates a doubling of summer heat-related deaths in Los Angeles from about 70 today to 125, if temperatures increase by 3 degrees Fahrenheit. Climbing temperatures, bringing hotter and drier weather into forest regions, could increase the frequency and intensity of wildfires, threatening property, trees and species. The habitats of cold water fish, such as mountain whitefish, brook trout, cold water guild, chinook salmon, and kokanee salmon, could be negatively impacted by climate change, according to the EPA. Along the Sierra, drier conditions could reduce the range and productivity of conifer and oak forests. It is reported that due to warming temperatures, the spruce bark beetle has destroyed about 3 million acres of Spruce on the Kenai Peninsula, south of Anchorage, Alaska. Now that the spruce bark beetle has done its work, the Alaska timber industry will attempt to harvest the timber while it retains its marketability, an unanticipated avenue to clear-cutting. Now we have the pine bark beetle of California. If continued higher temperatures stress trees, the pine bark beetle could do a lot of damage in California, says the UCS/ESP report Sea level rise may lead to flooding and erosion of coastal property, loss of wetlands, erosion of beaches and much more. Also, sea level rise could increase the storm potential for coastal areas. For example, the Oakland-based research group, the Pacific Institute, says that, a 6 inch rise in sea level in the Pacific Ocean could increase the intensity of a storm at the golden gate entrance to San Francisco Bay from a l-in-100 year storm to a l-in-10 year storm. The National Assessment report states that although higher temperatures may bring backpackers and campers to higher elevations, skiing will probably decrease due to reduced snowpack. From 1951 to 1996 the length of the snow season has decreased by 16 days. Just a loss of 16 days may not sound like much, until one sees that this planet is in an accelerating process of warming, especially evidenced by the meltdown of glaciers and sea ice at higher altitudes and latitudes. It's possible it wont take another 45 years to reduce the snow season another 16 days. As the damage from global warming mounts in scope and pace, we are not doing enough to mitigate greenhouse gases. The Kyoto Protocol, in which City council - Global warminu resolution the U.S., the European Union and Japan have agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, will answer the need to make a significant impact towards reversing global warming. Basically, the Kyoto Protocol (see below a web site from which you can read or print a copy of the Kyoto agreement) requires the U.S, the European Union and Japan to reduce their greenhouse gases 7%, 8% and 6%, respectively, below 1990 levels by 2012. However, in order for the Kyoto agreement to become effective in the U.S., it must be ratified by the U.S. Senate. On October 1, 1997 1500 of the world's top scientists, including a substantial majority of the living Nobel laureates in science, called for strong action to reverse global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, comp.rising 2500 scientists, risk assessment experts and economists from all over the world, backs the K¥oto Protocol. This message is going to all members of your city council. We hope you will consider sponsoring or cosponsoring this resolution. If you do offer this resolution to your city council, please let us know by e-mail.

THIS RESOLUTION FURTHER URGES SENATORS DIANE FEINSTEIN AND BARBARA BOXER TO ASSIST IN THE U.S SENATE RATIFICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. WHEREAS, The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that the global climate is warming. The IPCC projects by the end of the 21st century an increase in global mean surface temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to an increase in sea level between 6 and 37 inches. In fact, the pace of the current warming trend is consistent with an increase of 5.4 to 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the 21st century. In comparison temperatures have increased by only 5 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit, since the depths of the last ice age, 18,000 to 20,000 years ago; and WHEREAS, the 7 warmest years on record have all occurred in the 1990's, 1998 being the warmest yet. In July of 1995, the fourth warmest year on record, a heat wave hit the Midwest killing over 700 people in Chicago alone. In 1999 a July heat wave hit the eastern U.S. and caused over 250 heat-related deaths. Comparatively, during the average summer in the U.S, there are about 175 heat-related deaths; and WHEREAS, according to Dr. Thomas Karl, senior scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center: "High temperatures are likely to become more extreme, and because night temperatures will increase by at least as much as daytime temperatures, heat waves should become more serious;" and WHEREAS, according to Karl, precipitation has increased 10% in the United States during this century. Most of the increase has been in the extreme events (floods? storms), very little in the moderate, beneficial rains, and WHEREAS, the expected loss of wetland areas due to sea level rise, the loss of forests due to the stress of increasing temperatures, and the loss of wildlife populating these forests and wetland areas will have an effect on our quality of life and the lives of future generations. Those coastal cities faced with possible sea level rise may have to redesign and adapt water, sewer and transportation systems; and WHEREAS, the IPCC has determined that climate change during the next 50 to 100 years will have a greater impact on world fisheries than over-fishing itself; and WHEREAS, climate change is already threatening the planet with a spread of infectious diseases, which will move farther northward and to higher elevations. The World Heath Organization projects tens of millions more cases of malaria and other infectious diseases. "The spread of infectious disease will be the most important public health problem related to climate change," states Jonathon Patz, John Hopkins microbiologist who is working on the issue at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and WHEREAS, on December 11, 1997 a modest agreement was brought forth in Kyoto, Japan, to begin the process of addressing climate change. Subject to ratification of the U.S. Senate, the United States agreed to reduce carbon emissions by 7% below 1990 levels by the year 2012, while the European Union and Japan agreed to an 8% and 6% cut in emissions, respectively. As the Montreal Protocol of 1987 led to the world-wide reduction of the ozone-destroying chemical, chlorofluorocarbon, the Kyoto agreement has spurred hope that we can begin to mitigate greenhouse gases; and WHEREAS, a city council is sometimes called upon to register its support for an environmental issue. The monumental potential for human and environmental damage posed by global warming requires the United States to begin the process of addressing climate change. As Dr. George M. Woodwell, noted scientist and founder of Woods Hole Research Center said, "The risks of global warming are real, palpable, the effects are ii C,ty Counc,I- Global warming resolution accumulating daily, and the costs of correcting the trend rise with each day's delay." If the voices of future generation, the unborn children of tomorrow, could be heard, they would plead for action; so therefore be' it RESOLVED; that this city council supports the Kyoto plan as a small but significant step to reducing greenhouse gases and stabilizing the global atmosphere. We strongly urge senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer to do everything within their power to vigorously pursue the ratification of the Kyoto agreement.

BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIA September 8, 2000 Ms. Jean Roberson 9135 Lacroix Court CITY COUNCIL Bakesfield, CA 93311 Dear Ms. Roberson: Bob Price Mayor The Legislative and Litigation Committee's recommendation to approve a 24-month Irma Carson fee exemption from franchise .fees-for Time Warner's RoadRunner services was Wu:e-Mayor accepted by the Oity Council. After reviewing staff comments and Ward I recommendations, as well as hearing from Time Warner representatives.during its meeting, the-Committee felt-the franchise fee exemption for RoadRunner services Patricia DeMond would have long-term advantages for the City of Bakersfield. This was due ,to a ward 2 number of reasons. Mike Maggard The offering of the new RoadRunner service competes in a market with others Ward3 which are not required to pay franchise fees, such as PCS providers. Exempting the franchise fees attempts to provide a level playing field to the technology in its David Couch " Ward4 infancy in the Bakersfield area. The anticipated numbers of customers to which Time Warner expected to provide with RoadRunner service during the exemption Randy Rowles period is a relatively small number, thus, the amount of franchise fees lost in the Wards exemption period would 'be minimized. At the same time, this provides the new service-essentially a "start up" business-with a chance to get its "foot in the door." Jacquie Sullivan Ultimately, as-more customers are able to purchase the. service after the Ward 6 exemption period is over, the franchise fees will again be paid to the City for citizen services. And, because competition will be allowed to flourish, the citizens of Mark Salvaggio Bakersfield will be able to choOse from a variety of products at competitively lower ward z prices. I hope this :explains the rationale behind the Committee's thoughts relating to the exemption,.
