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.

I I' � The objeatives of the Baker�field Spstems Study are to identify, analyze and propose solutions to the many transportation issues and concerns affecting tha me�rapoiita� Bakersfield area.

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. u1�a� l�ias l�ia p pQHed S� Far?

W�at I�t1iG�� l�,fappeH Nex�? 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. Timeline The Bakersfield Systems Study Tearn urges you to pariicipate anfl play a role in the improvement of the transportation systems in the metropolitan Bakersfield area. Your attendance at workshops, input on alternatives and support for the Study will aid the Project Study Tearn in creating feasible and cost effective alternatives that vvili have khe potential to improve our streets aud highways, allevi�te traffic and cangesfion and help prepare the mettopoli�an Bal��r�fie�d area for Che future.

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. ` �Lo Que USTED Puede Ha�er Para Ayudar! de Kern, y Caltrans se juntaron para iniciar el Estudio del Sistema de Transporte de Bakersfield. Este estudio fue disenado para identificar necesidades y preocupaciones de transporte al igual que examinar soluciones y mejoramientos posibles en el area metropolitana. Con la participacion combinada de residentes, negociantes, oficiales del gobierno, y lideres de la comunidad, el Estudio del Sistema de Transporte de Bakersfield aumentara lo aprendido en estudios previos y desarrollara alternativas de transporte que apoyaran los aumentos en el area y ayudaran a prevenir los problemas de transporte asociados con otras ciudades crecientes. nrvicesv d eG� �s�tid ic� El Estudio del Sistema de Transporte de Bakersfield empezo en julio del ano 2000 y se espera terminar a fines del ano 2001. Es un estudio comprensivo que combina estudios anteriores, informacion nueva y un analisis extendido. Una parte integral del proceso del Estudio de Bakersfield es manteniendo informado al publico. Con la ayuda de negocios, lideres de la comunidad, residentes, y oficiales del gobierno, el equipo del Estudio puede identificar temas y preocupaciones de transporte, desarrollar alternativas, hacer un analisis de las alternativas y regresar a la comunidad para obtener mas participacion. La comunidad tiene la oportunidad de examinar y comentar sobre las alternativas durante todo el proceso por medio de entrevistas, juntas de grupos, talleres publicos y hojas informativas. z6ttie �A nasad � l�ias�a �l��ra? El equipo del Estudio del Sistema de Bakersfield tuvo un taller publico el 26 de septiembre en la Biblioteca Memorial Beale. El evento fue una oportunidad para que personas viviendo o trabajando en la comunidad expresaran sus preocupaciones y sugerencias sobre los problemas, sistemas, y solu- ciones probables de transporte. E1 equipo estaba pre- sente para contestar preguntas y para hablar de los temas con la comunidad. Casi 100 miembros de la comunidad atendieron y llenaron hojas de comentarios o respondieron por medio de computadora.

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. KB G:\GROU PDATSOL IDW ASTE�BSLupdate.wpd ;. ,.

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. s:\Ops 2000-01Uanuary Monthly Report Monthly Repo� / January 2001 Final Acceptance: Tract 5362 Phase I Drainage Sump Landscaping on Sierra Meadows Dr. Acceptance Date: 1-29-01 ac. .0189 Maintenance Period: Tract 5921 Phase I11 Calloway Dr. westside wall north of San Ysidro Ln. and cul- de-sac on Valerio Ct.

FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER WILLIAM C. DESCARY, CITY TREASURER t�� �I FEBRUARY 08, 2001 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.

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.

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. 1501 Tru�un Avenue • Bakersfield, California 93301 •(661) 326-3770 • Fax (661) 326-3779 E-mail address: mayor�ci.bakersfield.ca.us � The Honorable Gray Davis Governor, State of California February 9, 2001 Page Two We look forward to seeing a plan which addresses this important and critical issue. We would request a response with specific details of your plan so we may provide this important informatior� to our constituents. Your efforts to resolve this unprecedented energy crisis are greatly appreciated. Ily yours, Harvey L. Hall Mayor cc: Senator Charles Poochigian Senator Jim Costa Representative Dean Florez Representative Roy Ashburn City Councilmembers � � 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. ----------000- -------- Page 2 of 3 � � I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was passed and adopted by the Council of the City of Bakersfield at a regular meeting thereof held on )AN 31 2001 , by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: APPROVED � COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER, COUNCIL MEMBER, COUNCIL MEMBER JAN 31 2001 CARSON, COUCH, HANSON, MAGGARD, SALVAGGIO, SULLIVAN iviayu� APPROVED AS TO FORM: BART J.

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 utility companies, law enforcement, schools, state government and local government. Each provided information regarding rolling blackouts and their impact on the community. Staff from the City Police, Fire, Public Works, and City Manager's Office attended the Forum as resources and responded to questions by the public. The utility companies described how rolling blackouts occur and most question were centered on providing the public with adequate notice. Public safety personnel explained that they would treat the rolling blackouts similar to any other emergency situation, such as an energy outage due to weather or other unplanned cause. The were reassured that all emergency response agencies have response plans in the event of rolling blackouts. They were also informed that the city recently updated its emergency plan. The public in attendance was encouraged to prepare as they would for any other emergency event (such as an earthquake) by having flashlights, a battery operated radio, water, blankets, etc. available. They were also cautioned regarding the use of candles and certain heating devices since they pose a fire hazard. Assemblyman Florez was present at the beginning of the meeting, but had to leave to go to Sacramento to vote on legislation regarding the purchasing of electricity by the state.
