Subject: Bakersfield Systems Study, February 7 Workshop
The workshop last night was considered a success by the Systems Study team. Seventy-seven citizens participated in the
workshop. Display boards described the study process and the various Candidate Alternatives. Each participant was asked
to provide written comments on each and every alternative. Thirty comment sheets have been turned in so far and we
anticipate that several more comment sheets will be received in the next few days as people have time to complete them.
During the workshop, many of the participants also vocalized their comments as they interacted with project staff members.
The vast majority of those comments were positive and supportive of the process but not necessarily in agreement with
some of the proposed alternatives.
The project team will include these comments in their analysis of the various alternatives.
We are employing several methods to disseminate information to the community about the study. The URS team has
prepared a newsletter about the study. They will deliver copies of the newsletter to the various stakeholders and ask them
to distribute the newsletters to their constituents. Several copies of the first issue of that newsletter are attached for you
to distribute to City Councilmembers and Department / Division heads. This newsletter and future issues of it will be posted
on the City's web site.
We are working with MIS staff to develop a web page on the City's web site dedicated to the Systems Study. It will contain
this newsletter, drawings of the various Candidate Alternatives, a project schedule and comment sheets identical to those
passed out at the workshop. This will allow the public to provide comments on the alternatives over the internet. We hope
to have this completed within the next few days.
We will provide a link to this page from the City's web site. We are working with the County and KernCOG to get a link
established on their respective web sites.
We are also preparing a display of the drawings of the alternates and other information about the study. One display will
be located in the City Hall Annex Lobby and another will be located at the Cal State Bakersfield Library.

As the metropolitan Bakersfield area continues to
grow and more people work and live in the surrounding
areas, the need to improve the transportation systems
becomes crucial. In April of 2000, in response to this
growing need, the Kern Council of Governments (Kern

W�y N�w?
Current population in Kern County has reached
630,000 residents, and the region's Department of
Finance has projected the population to hit 1,000,000
by the year 2010. Yet, despite the growing population
and increased congestion on roads and highways, the
metropolitan area has received a disproportionate share
of the region's transportation improvements in the last
twenty years.
In addition to the lack of improvements, recent
changes in California State law have made funding
transportation projects, such as those under study in
the Bakersfield Systems Study, more feasible. The
passage of Senate Bi1145 allows regional governments
to control their own transportation spending and
therefore allows new options for transportation
improvements.
What YOU Can Do
To Help
Caltrans joined together to initiate the Bakersfield
Systems Study. This study was designed to identify
transportation needs and concerns as well as examine
possible improvements and solutions in the metropolitan
area. With the combined input and participation of
residents, business owners, elected officials and
community leaders, the Bakersfield Systems Study will
build on previous transportation studies and develop
transportation alternatives that will support the growing
area and aid in the prevention of transportation
problems associated with other expanding cities.
T�¢ S�r�d y Prc�cess
The Bakersfield 5ystems Study began in July 2000
and should be completed by the end of 2001. It is a
comprehensive study combining previous studies, new
information and an expanded engineering analysis.
Community outreach is an integral part of the
Bakersfield Systems Study process. With the help of
businesses, community leaders, residents and elected
officials, the Project Study Team is able to identify
transportation issues and concerns, perform an
engineering analysis for each concern and return to the
community for fizrther involvement. The community has
the opportunity to examine and comment on project
alternatives throughout the process through stakeholder
interviews, grou� roundtables, community workshops
and periodic newsletters.

Once the Candidate Alternatives have been
developed, the Project Study Team will once again go
to the community for review and comment. Meetings
will be held with community and business groups,
elected officials and a community workshop will be
scheduled for additional review and comment.
Candidate Alternatives will then be evaluated and
"screened" based on community input as well as their
benefits, costs and impacts on the metropolitan
Bakersfield area. Following the "screening" process,
the Project Study Team will develop a shortlist of viable
improvements, and conduct more detailed engineering
analyses. The Project Alternatives will then be
evaluated based on more detailed benefit, costs and
impacts analyses. The results of the detailed
engineering analyses and evaluation of these viable
improvements will be available for public review
through additional community workshops and group
meetings. Finally, the Project Study Team will
develop packages of prioritized improvements to
assist local agencies with decision making with regard
to transportation infrastructure improvements.

La poblacion corriente del Condado de Kern ha
llegado a 630,000 residentes, y el Departamento de
Finanzas de la regi6n ha pronosticado que la populaci6n
llegara a 1,000,000 para el ano 2010. Aun, a pesar del
aumento en populacion y el congestionamiento en las
carreteras y autopistas, el area metropolitana ha recibido
pocos mejoramientos de transporte en los ultimos veinte
anos a comparacion con el resto de la region. Ademas de
la falta de mejoramientos, cambios recientes en las leyes
del estado de California han hecho que fondos para
proyectos de transporte, como los que se estudian en el
Estudio del Sistema de Transporte Bakersfield, sean mas
accesibles. El pasaje del proyecto de ley 45 del Senado de
California permite que gobiernos regionales controlen sus
propios gastos en transportaci6n y permita nuevas
opciones para mejoramientos de transporte.

MEMORANDUM
TO: AI n Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Jacques R. La Rochelle, Interim Public Works Director
DATE: February 8, 2001
SUBJECT: LANDFILL CLOSURE PROJECT Update
The City submitted a draft work plan for the landfill test cap to the Regional Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) in November. Due to staff changes at the RWQCB, there has
been no review yet. In the mean time, a change has occurred which may help reduce
the cost of our project.
The County's nearby China Grade Landfill closure project, which is very similar to ours,
has just received RWQCB approval for construction of its test cap. Because both
projects have very similar soil characteristics, it is possible that test results from China
Grade could be used for our project in lieu of building our own test cap. Staff is
contacting the RWQCB to consider this possibility.

2001.
The Ellis & Associates Inc. and National Safety Council Learn to Swim Program ,
Coordinator Training will be held at Silver Creek Pool on March 17 and 18, 2001.
Aquatic staff from around the country will be attending to become a trained instructor for
the Learn to Slniim Program staff at their facilities.
The Aquatic Safety Awareness Program will be conducted this spring. The Department
of Recreation and Parks along with the Water Department are co-sponsoring this
educational program that will be implemented in elementary schools. The program
instructs water safety to youths ages five through nine. The program will review safe
areas to swim (city pools), unsafe areas near water (canals and the river) and wate�
safety at home. Initially, the program began in Portland, Oregon and was very
successful in reducing the number of drowning incidents in the city. The time line and
school list was revised. Schools will be contacted in February and the program will be
taught during the months of March and April 2001.
Pool Rentals picked-up toward the end of the month. There are seven high schools and
three aquatic clubs using Jastro, Jefferson and Silver Creek Pools through April 30,
2001.
Lap Swimming continues at Silver Creek Pool. Enclosed is a lap swimming attendance
report with the current month's attendance at 149 people.

PARKS DTVISION
JANUARY 2001, MONTHLY REPORT
WE'VE GOT NEW FUNN !
Jastro and Grissom Park playground areas were re-opened on Friday, January 26. Both
(ocations feature "Sky Tower", 3 level ta(i play structures with twisting and turning tube
slides, plenty of ladders to climb, poles to slide down, observation bubbles to gaze upon
the world and other challenging elements.
Both playgrounds have separate composite playground equipment specifically designed ,
for 2-5 and 5-12 year old children. Each structure is designed to provide fun and
challenges with�n, the appropriate age level.
At Jastro Park, we ventured away from the typical bright colors usually found in playground
environments and selected predominantly neutral colors. We have received many positive
comments as to the look of the new equipment.
In addition to new playground equipment, all of the sand was replaced and approximately
1,100 square feet of rubberized surfacing was installed at each playground. The
rubberized surfacing project is a separate undertaking funded by Community Development
Block Grant to assist with access for the disabled and a grant from California lntegrated
Waste Management Board in an effort to reduce the number of tires going to California
landfills. The grant program offer a win - win - win situation as we are ab(e to assist those
persons with mobility impairments, reduce typical landfill waste stream, and have the
project significantly funded by grants.
NO FUNN
Vandalism and theft are taking their toll upon the community and our department's
resources. Unfortunately, deliberate actions of a few continue to reduce recreational and
aesthetic value of others. Recent case in point is the new playground equipment installed
at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. Not only were construction fences frequently torn down
�
during installation of new equipment, graffiti markings came within the first few weeks of
completion. Recently, vandals attempted to burn a plastic tube slide. Installing
replacement sections labor and material costs are then borne by the department. The
community is impacted further as replacement materials frequently require 6- 8 weeks for
delivery.
On another occasion, someone stole 2 of 24 replacement trees planted on Allen Road
soon after they were installed. Then 3 more and finally another 3, for total of eight trees,
were stolen from this one location within a few months.
Silver Creek routinely experiences vandalized restrooms, skateboarders refusing to leave
the area when asked and using refuse containers, portable tables and anything else that
is not bolted down as something to jump or skate upon.
More than anything else, we chose to bring these examples to your attention so that you
might better understand why there may be delays in remedying other situations. We also
would like to point out the above are but a few examples throughout the City and not
limited to a particular area of Bakersfield.
Park Securitv Proaram �
Since our Park Security program was taken in-house in late October, two person patrols
have canvassed the city each Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. What we have learned �
matched our primary expectation, which was, persons seeing a vehicle marked "Park
Security" would be more inclined to follow park rules.
Report logs make frequent comments such as, "group of young persons left the park as
we approached" with time noted as after park closing.
They are also another set of eyes for our maintenance staff as they may notice problems
with systems that typically are in operation only at night such as irrigation or general park
lighting.
As summer approaches, we anticipate increasing the number of patrol days through the
week in order to increase our park security presence within our park system. Without their
assistance, our vandalism experiences would have most assuredly been greater.

SNO-SHACK OF BAKERSFIELD
On February 5, 2001 the Budget and Finance Committee considered a request from
Bruce Dolgin, owner of Sno-Shack of Bakersfield, for a Conditional Use Permit
exception to operate Sno-Shack shaved ice kiosks in C-1 zones.
Sno-Shack kiosks are regulated under the Transient Outdoor Business Ordinance,
Bakersfield Municipal Code chapter 5.56. Such businesses are allowed to operate
in G2 or less restrictive zones. A typographical error, since corrected, during
amendment of the ordinance caused confusion to Mr. Dolgin regarding zoning
requirements and he obtained two kiosk leases in C-1 zones at Rite-Aid stores
(6001 Coffee Road and 3225 Panama Lane). To resolve the situation last season
Mr. Dolgin was granted, at no cost to him, two 180 day Conditional Use Permits
(CUP's) that expired at the end of October with the understanding that he would
reapply if he desired the locations in 2001.
The committee did not want to impair the integrity of the zoning ordinance by
granting the exceptions requested nor did it want to go through the process of
amending the ordinance. The committee recommended that Mr. Dolgin reapply for
the CUP's and that the City would absorb half of the cost.
Mr. Dolgin has accepted the recommendation. I have met with Mr. Dolgin and
provided him with Conditional Use Permit applications and a list of filing
deadlines. I have introduced him to staff in the Planning Department who can help
him with the applications, if necessary, and answer any zoning questions that may
arise. Mr. Dolgin feels that with his experience from obtaining the CUP's last year
the process should go smoothly. I will stay in contact with him to assist when
needed.

I would like to submit the following request for a change in the Seasonal
Business Ordinance to the Budget and Finance Committee
Please change the zoning requirements back to the way they used to be so that I
may operate my Sno-Shack shaved ice kiosks in a C-1 zone_
I appreciate that .you were able to issue a temporary conditional use permit so
that I was operating this year at the following 2 Rite Aids.
6001 Coffee Road
3225 Panama Lane
As you might have seen these two new locations were well received by the area
business and residents. In addition they went along with the spirit of the law, as
you desired, which was not at small neighborhood mini-marts stores.
I hope we may accomplish this ordinance change while retaining its int�grity.
These two new businesses created an additional 10 jobs for our community's
college and high school students and it would be a shame to lose them.
Again thank you very much for afl the help you, your staff and the City Council
have been in giving as much attention to the small projects as to the big projects.

RE: Energy Crisis
Dear Governor Davis:
�
AU.-AI�RICA CRY
' '
�
1990
The City of Bakersfield is very concerned about the current energy crisis and its impact on
our state and local economy as well as the citizens and businesses we represent. The
Bakersfield City Council has passed a resolution requesting a plan of action by the State
of California which addresses the disruption of service and increased costs of electrical
power affecting the citizens of California.
Our city has been active in energy conservation efforts for many years and continues to
work to meet the Governor's energy conservation goals. We have also participated in
several of the local forums regarding this issue, including those hosted by our local
legislators. These forums have been beneficial in communicating the impacts of this crisis
to local agencies and the -public. However, these forums have focused more on how to
deal with the loss of energy rather than on solutions to the root problem. The City Council
would like to see a specific plan from the State which addresses how to preserve and
protect our economy and citizens from the impacts of the energy crisis. The resolution
adopted by the Council lists several actions the state may wish to consider to address this
problem. We are also concerned that the burden of this crisis not be passed on to the rate
payers. A shifting of costs to rate payers will have negative impacts on both the State and
local economy as well as our ability to encourage economic growth within our community.

RESOLUTION NO. o 0 9- 01
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BAKERSFIELD REQUESTING A PLAN OF ACTION BY THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO ADDRESS THE DISRUPTION
OF SERVICE AND INCREASED COSTS OF ELECTRICAL
POWER AFFECTING THE CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, California is currently facing unprecedented energy challenges and
severe electricity supply shortages; and
WHEREAS, the importance of immediate energy cor�servation efforts cannot be
overstated, and
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield has taken steps to reduce electricity use by 5%
and is committed to reducing its ongoing electricity use by 7%, and
WHEREAS, Bakersfield residents and businesses are urged to also reduce ongoing
electricity use by 7%, and
WHEREAS, conservation is only one step in solving California's energy crisis, and
WHEREAS, resolutions need to be found to provide a long-term, stable and realistic
approach to solving California's unprecedented energy crisis and to avoid such crises in
the future, and
WHEREAS, the state-wide energy crisis is of concern to all Californians, and
WHEREAS, without intervention bythe Governor and State Legislature Californians
will face dramatic increases in power costs as well as adverse economic impacts from the
disruption of commerce caused by power outages and energy price spikes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Bakersfield
as follows:
The Council strongly supports actions by the Governor and Legislature which will
provide a plan of action by the State to address the disruption of service and increased
costs of electrical power affecting the citizens of California, including but not limited to:
1. Provide the Governor and State Legislature the authority to implement an inspection
program for electrical generation facilities, as called for in the Governor's State of
the State address, to assure a stable and functional energy market, including
Page 1 of 3
�
�
emergency powers to circumvent lengthy permitting procedures currently required
to build new and/or re-open existing energy plants quickly.
2. Provide for a review and reform of the Power Exchange bidding process so that the
last bid does not set the daily price. Current bid rules send the wrong price signals
and encourage price speculatior� and high energy costs. Such review could include
repfacing the Exchange or eliminating it altogether.
3. Combine power plant siting and operating decisions within a single state authority
instead of befinreen agencies (the California Energy Commission and the Public
Utilities Commission) for better coordination and planning of new power supplies for
California.
4. Allow power generators to enter into long term contracts for the purchase of power,
coming closer to a"market system," and avoiding the extreme price spikes currently
being experienced.
5. Streamline regulations to encourage self-generation at peak demand times and
coordinate down-times of differing energy producing plants to eliminate an excess
of energy plan#s going down at the same time.
6. Eliminate red tape in the siting of new electrica4 generation plants and other
electrical generation facilities as well as reduce unnecessary or redundant
environmental restrictions to the siting of new electrical generation facilities.
7. Encourage local support for power plants and transmission lines and their impacts
by allowing such facilities to serve local loads first.
8. Investiga#e the availability of energy resources from all power sources (fossil fuel,
hydroelectric, �uclear, geothermal, cogeneration, biomass, solar, and wind
generation) and encourage their use in the planning for new power supplies in
California.
9. Review strategies to limit the adverse impacts of power disruptions and increased
costs upon seniors and others with fixed or low incomes.
The Council directs that a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to the Governor
of California.

Assemblyman Dean Florez hosted an Energy Forum on being prepared for rolling
blackouts on January 31St. The Forum consisted of a panel of representatives from the
