A Coast Intelligen cogeneration system uses less fuel to produce the same amount of energy - saving money and helping to protect the environment A Mistake You Can't Afford to Make Relying solely on your electric utility for your vital power needs can have costly and disruptive consequences. Insufficient capacity, polluting power plants and an aging power infrastructure are generating nationwide power problems and rising prices, conditions which are expected to worsen in the months and years ahead. The easy availability of an abundant supply of uninterrupted, low-priced energy is becoming a fond memory throughout America. It is increasingly important to manage your energy needs the way you assure the supply of any product or service that is essential to your daily operations: research and evaluate the alternatives and make an intelligent, cost-effective choice. In the past, there was basically just one source of electricity: the local electric utility - a regulated, elaborate, expensive and inefficient way to get power. However, today's digital economy requires high quality power and more of it than ever before. But the utility grid is often woefully inadequate in its ability to supply the growing power needs of the 21 st century. Onsite power generation, or distributed generation, is not just the future of power generation - it is here today. While constructing new large-scale power plants requires vast capital expenditures and takes years, distributed generation creates power now, where you want it - and when you need it. Cogeneration, or combined heat and power, is arguably the most efficient, practical and successful distributed generation application commercially available today. Coast Intelligen is the leading manufacturer of cogeneration systems for small and medium size facilities. Our power generation systems are cost effective, reliable and environmentally friendly.

MEMORANDUM TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: J~Y kCQUES R. LAROCHELLE, INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE:~' June 18,2001 SUBJECT: AMTRAK JANITORIAL Concern was expressed that the contract with Ingram's Janitorial Inc. for custodial and hardscape platform maintenance at the Amtrak Station allows their staff to be paid $80 per hour. The City entered into an Agreement with Ingram's on January 17, 2001 to provide interior custodial services, exterior hardscape maintenance cleanup which includes cleaning parking lots, flower beds and specific track side areas for trash. Per the agreement the contractor is paid $7,400 per month to provide supervision, labor and materials to complete the required services to maintain the facility. The scope of work includes daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual and annual service requirements. The contractor is required to provide these services 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Amtrak Station operates from 4 A.M. to 1 A.M. with 12 trains and 55-65 buses per day, seven days a week. The contractor and City staff have worked with the station manager to determine the best times for maintenance. Itwas determined that two services per daywould be required. The contractor services the building beginning approximately 9 A.M. and then again beginning approximately 8 P.M. While the contractor is paid $7,400 per month, approximately $1,600 is used for materials and supplies, leaving the remaining $5,800 for salaries and overhead. To provide the daily, weekly and monthly services the contractor spends approximately 475 man hours per month. These hours do not include the required quarterly, semi-annual and annual services. Using the above-mentioned figures, this averages to $12.21 per hour for the contract employees. The two visits per daY seven day per week schedule required to provide janitorial maintenance within the building, makes it impractical for the City to hire employees to perform this work. Using the current contractors 475 man hours per month equates to approximately 16 man hours per day. To provide these services with City staff we would need an additional 2.5 facility workers, which would equate to 20 man hours per day at the facility. The half time person would work 4 hours per day on a regular basis and also be able to provide full time relief for sick leave and vacation. Total salary and benefit cost for 2.5 facility workers is $77,500 per year or $6,460 per month. This total added to the estimated monthly cost of G:~GROUPDA'F~I2001_ClTYMANAGER~amtrak6-01.wpd Page 1 of 2 Pages ' ., June 18, 2001 Alan Tandy, City Manager AMTRAK JANITORIAL $1,600 for materials and supplies, makes the total monthly cost equal to $8,060. Hiring additional City employees would result in an increased cost of $660 as compared to existing contract services. Therefor, staff recommends that it is in the City's best interest to continue to contract this work. Staff meets with the Amtrak staff (our customer) twice a week to review the level of service being provided by the contractor. The Amtrak staff has been very pleased with the service.

MEMO2.wpd Date: 6/20/01 2:13PM Subject: Vision & Transportation System. Alternatives To Facilitation Team: I think that it is important for Vision 2020 to make a statement about the need to implement one of the alternatives proposed-by the recently completed Bakersfield Systems Study to solve some of the major transportation issues in metro Bakersfield. In my opinion, that statement needs to. include the following elements: 1. As evidenced by the input of the community through the Vision 2020 process, there is a huge desire on the part of the community at large for the transportation issue to be resolved: regionnai and interregional connectivity (across town and around/thrOugh town); congestion and gridlock, system continuity (no deadends.). 2. It is important for our fL~ture economic development and quality of life that these issues begin to be resolved NOW. (we're 20 years late already). · 3. Take a leadershiP role and MAKE A DECISION~ and begin steps to · implement, ASAP. " 4. Since all. 5 alternatives alleviate traffic to the same level, the decision should be based on: timelines (when can we get this thing built); cost; and impacts. 5. Reiterate: The most important thing is that you make a decision and ' begin implementation. Situation: The final community workshop was held last night. The attendees were prinoipally NIMBYs who were against one or the other of the 5 alternatives proposed. As a result, there is a rising concern that our elected representatives are beginning to think that this is not an extremely important issue for.the rest of the community. This is a false impression as indicated by the Vision 2020 input. The GBCC (Chamber) Board ef Directors has elected to send a similar letter, strongly encouraging action. Action: If you concur, we can send a letter now. If you prefer, we can discuss this further at our July 11th meeting and then take action. Third alternative is send the letter now and consider additional action at July 11th meeting. Please email your thoughts.

Bring back on next meeting agenda. Vice-Mayor Salvaggio requests to look at the possibility of lowering the senior rebate age from 65 to 60 and provide a rate comparison of other similar size cities.

Councilmember Sullivan requests in the future that staff make a presentation prior te the opening of the hearing to address all issues; and contact schools re more recyclinc. centers in school parking lots; and explore costs to increase the number of bulky item ! drop-off days to six times per year. To follow up on questions and comments by City Council members and residents at the June 13th, 2001 public hearing for residential refuse rates, staff has prepared the following presentation outline for the June 27th hearing. C:~cuments and SettingsVnperalez~Local Seltings\Temp~Resident.wpd PRESENTATION OUTLINE 1. When conducting a rate review in the future, first explain the service and the costs. (Sullivan) -Residential refuse and recycling services include: Weekly refuse and greenwaste collection Monthly street sweeping Citywide recycling drop off centers Curbside motor oil recycling on call Quarterly bulky item drop off events Christmas tree recycling Annual phone book recycling Senior citizen rebates of 50 percent -Refuse collection is required per the Health Code. Recycling programs are provided per state mandate. -Services are provided through a stand-alone budget, not General Fund taxes. -Costs are covered by service fees and grants. -Service fees collected as separate items on existing tax bill, to save extra postage and printing costs. This is similar to the current business trend seen in many types of bill collecting. This trend also adds consumer convenience and prevents delinquent accounts. -Collection service is provided by a combination of City and contractors to keep a balance between public and private sectors. -Collection contractors are paid by City on a long-term contract for stable rates based on Consumer Price Index, rather than irregular adjustments. -Service fees are reviewed annually to allow the City to cover costs of the program. -Since the new automated refuse and greenwaste recycling program began, the City was able to absorb inflation in two out of six years, resulting in no rate increase. Last year, the increase was less than inflation. -To comply with the recycling mandate in 1995, the City had to begin new recycling operations. Recycling workers were provided by shifting crews from the old 2 person collection trucks to the new recycling center. -Savings from collection automation also provided for new recycling equipment to meet the mandate. G:\GRO UPDA'l'~Referrals~Benham2~ResidentialRefuse_WF0018889 001.wpd -For rate adjustments, state law requires a public hearing with notice published, posted, and sent by first class mail to property owners. The following steps were taken: -Notice was prepared and signed by City Clerk on 4/27/01. -Notice was faxed to the Bakersfield Californian on 4/27/01 and scheduled for publication on 6/1/01. Due to error by the Californian it did not appear in the paper until 6/8/01. -Notice was posted on Official Bulletin Board 4/30/01. -Notice was deposited at the US Mail mailed facility by Hall Letter Shop on May 4, 2001. Their affidavit indicates 63,273 notices mailed. -As you know, they are mailed to the address of record on the latest Assessor's Tax Roll. We often find that it does not always reflect recent changes. -Additionally, we have approximately 3, 500 notices which have been returned for "Forwarding Expired", "Moved, Left No Address", "Attempted, Not Known" or "1 nsufficient Add ress." 2. Compare rates to other cities. (Salvaggio) -Bakersfield's residential refuse rates compare favorably statewide. -Because of the difference between Kern County and other areas, landfill fees are factored in for total cost comparison. -Service levels vary - 10 cities with similar service were found out of 60 in an independently published survey. -Bakersfield is 19th lowest out of all 60, and 2nd lowest out of the 10 with similar service levels. -Of these 10, only 2 include street sweeping, which makes Bakersfield's program and rates compare even better. 3. Evaluate the impact of lowering senior rebate age to 60. (Salvaggio) -The number of potential new applicants must first be estimated -Finding population and home ownership status by age is an unusual study. -The current program cost is $360,000. 4. Provide more drop off centers and publicize the program. (Sullivan) -The current system handles about 12,500 homes out of 65,000. -City and County work together to provide 18 sites. -The City now receives a small annual grant for beverage container.recycling. -Ways to make more drop off locations at minimal cost are being explored. -Ways to make recycling easier are also being explored. -A future workshop will be scheduled on this subject. G:\GRO U PDAT~Referrals~Benham2~ResidentJaJRefuse_W F0018889 001 .wpd 5. Estimate the cost for increasing the bulky item events to bimonthly. (Sullivan) -Quarterly events cost the City $8,000 per year. -The County and local haulers also participate. -Increase to bimonthly would take more involvement by all parties. -If County and local haulers go along, City would add $4,000. -If City expanded by itself, cost would be more. 6. Estimate the savings from landfill fee restructuring, related to curbside. (Benham) -Landfill fees vs. recycling program cost is a complex issue for next workshop. -Landfills have long term costs to cover regardless of waste quantity. -The County may have to increase unit price as less waste is disposed. -It may be easier for the County to raise the unit price if charged by weight instead of by property. -Initial savings of may be reduced as a result of unit price increase. -Initial savings may be $1 to $1.50 per month per home, depending on fees. -Future recycling fees vary according to choice of program type, each with its own degree of landfill savings. -A typical blue cart program may cost at least $5 per month, depending on: 1. The amount of refuse collection cost savings which occur. 2. The rate which would be paid to contractors. 3. The cost of processing and shipping the recyclable materials to market. 7. Compare property tax bill line items, such as sweeping. (Couch) -The County has street sweeping service only in certain areas, for a fee. -Fees vary from $6 to $10 per year, as listed on sample property tax records. -Street sweeping programs are different in the City and County: Multiple passes to clean gutter, Emergency cleanups, Leaf collection, Illegal dumping, Night sweeping of arterial streets, Median islands, Storm drains, and Bike path are items not covered in the County program. --END OF PRESENTATION OUTLINE-- G:\GRO U PDAT~Referrals~]en ham2~ResidentialRefuse_W F0018889 001 .wpd RECEIVED B A K E R S F I E L D PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: ~ }/~ACQUES LA ROCHELLE, ! INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: June 15, 2001 SUBJECT: MEDIAN ON BERNARD STREET Council Referral No. WF0018878 / 001 (Ward 2) ICouncilmember Benham referred to Public Works staff a request for a landscape median on Bernard Street. Councilmember Benham requested that staff research the possibility of constructing an enhanced median in Bernard Street between Union Avenue and Alta Vista Drive. Redevelopment funds are not available for this type of project. However, medians can be constructed with CDBG funds. Currently, all available CDBG funds have been earmarked for projects but this project could be a candidate for the funds in 2002. Regarding construction, Bernard Street is a collector street and as such typically would not have a median island. The median iSland that exists now is to prevent left-turns into the commercial area adjacent to the Bernard Street intersection with Union Avenue, a movement which can disrupt the flow of traffic through the intersection. Turning movements into properties (particularly into the commercial properties along the north side of the road) would be greatly reduced which could be an issue. In addition, Firestation No. 4 is located along the north side of Bernard Street in this area, and no medians could be could constructed in front of the Station due to access/egress reasons. The latest average daily traffic counts along this portion of Bernard Street indicate 10,275 vehicles per day use this street, which is lower than most arterial streets which are currently the type of streets proposed for median island enhancement. The corporate limits begin approximately 500' west of Alta Vista Drive, so a permit from the County would be required in order to build a median in this portion of Bernard Street. In conclusion, a median island could be physically constructed along this segment of Bernard Street but funding would need to be determined. ,i RECEIVED  ' J~2 I 21)1)1 ' , ':TV ", ~ ' :,:ANAGEfl S O~C~ BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: ~/JACQUES R.

LaROCHELLE, 7 ~,~' INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: [) June 18, 2001 SUBJECT: CURBSlDE RECYCLING Referral Record # WF0018898 00l I Councilmember Couch requested staff respond to e-mail from Bruce Jones re Icurbside recycling and if response has already been given, provide a copy to Councilmember Couch. Copy of correspondence available at the City Clerk's Office · front counter. Staff responded to email from Bruce Jones on June 13th with the following text: On behalf of Mayor Harvey L. Hall, I would like to offer the following information in response to your May 24th letter on the subject of curbside recycling. I believe this is the same letter as the email I also received from you. Your letter considers many aspects of solid waste management, and we appreciate your effort to understand and offer support on this complex issue. We also appreciate your approval of our past efforts. With regard to the proposed service fee increase, it is calculated to cover the cost of inflation for the current program. The solid waste program operates as an enterprise fund, meaning that it covers its own costs through service fees and a few available grants. The program does not receive general tax revenues, and is therefore not likely to be expanded without thorough consideration of additional service fees. Since a service upgrade would involve additional costs not covered in the proposed rate, the service is planned to stay at its current level. If, in the future, a program upgrade is made, there would need to be a funding source to cover the new costs. Please note that, in summer 2000, a random community-wide survey indicated more than half of the respondents did not wish to pay service fees for a curbside recycling program. G:~GROUPDA'~Referrals\Couch4~2001 ~CurbsideRecycling_WFO018898 001 .wpd With attainment of a 42 percent recycling rate, Bakersfield has equaled the state average with its efforts to date. The City is continuing to plan for the future and is currently preparing to expand other types of cost-effective recyclincj efforts. As for the issue of a time extension for compliance with the 50 percent goal, neither Bakersfield nor any other city (to our knowledge) has applied to the state for an extension. The issue of cities dedicating more and more resources to achieve the last few percent is a pressing one, leading many to consider the reasonableness of the mandate. We agree that drop-off recycling centers are not always usable by all, due to the limitations you pointed out. However, considering the benefit they provide for a relatively Iow cost compared to curbside programs, this has been a very prudent use of existing resources. The system recycles about 2,500 tons annually, which is the equivalent of 12,500 homes in a typical curbside recycling program. In comparing Bakersfield's solid waste system to Tehachapi's use of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), please note that the MRF receives more funding than just the refuse collection rate you mentioned. For additional information on this, you may contact Mr. Doug Landon of the Kern County Waste Management Department. Although we do not have the details of the Tehachapi MRF funding arrangement, a look at the industry indicates that MRFs for sorting raw garbage are very expensive compared to other alternatives. Fortunately, Bakersfield has avoided such a costly long term commitment of resources while achieving reasonable recycling success. As for restructuring the County landfill fees for residential waste to help provide an economic incentive for recycling, we appreciatE; your understanding and support. Bakersfield has already "stepped up to the plate" to request this in the most recent joint meeting of the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors. In addition, we keep this as a main agenda item when meeting with County staff. The County has told us they are trying to budget for a study of the rate structure next year. You may be pleased to know that, in July 2000, the City obtained from the County a better method of paying commercial refuse fees. This has resulted in significant savings which enable the City to fund the costly closure of its former landfill without an impact on refuse rates. You are also correct in saying that the business waste sector must also recycle more. Fortunately, the business waste sector has an economic incentive to reduce waste. That has been part of Bakersfield's progress. We are currently working to develop a broader program. Due to cost constraints and the need to avoid creating extra traffic and pollution, we are seeking to develop commercial recycling with a minimum of extra collection trucks. Again, we appreciate your support for needed improvements in the disposal system. Times change, and so do circumstances. As we continue to evaluate future options and make progress, I would like to keep you informed. I will add your email address to our list of interested persons. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me.

LaROCHELLE, I ~[INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: June 21, 2001 SUBJECT: MEDIAN ISLAND @ SCARLET OAK Referral Record # WF01)]88~)$ t)0l Councilmember Couch requests staff look into feasibility of additional median island I at Scarlet Oak and Ming Avenue and contact Shirlyn Davenport. I The Traffic Engineer reviewed Scarlet Oak, both north and south of Ming Avenue, for the addition of a median island. North of Ming Avenue, the roadway is too narrow to eliminate needed lanes and build a median. This area is commercial and access to drives is needed for circulation. South of Ming, a median exists for the first 500 feet until the first intersecting street, Wandering Oak Drive. This existing median island could be extended to the south end of Scarlet Oak, approximately 2300 feet further. The road is a collector with no houses facing the street and few streets intersecting the road. The addition of a median in this segment would not interfere with driveway access to residences, it would not affect the speed of traffic on the street and would not reduce traffic flow. The traffic volume is only about 3500 vehicles per day and the area is built out. Traffic increases are expected to be very minor if any does occur and the road with a median would still have ample capacity for higher traffic volumes of up to 12,000 vehicles per day. The area is within the consolidated maintenance district, so maintenance costs for the additional landscaping could be collected by the district. However, funding for construction, approximately $150,000, would need to be identified. Ms. Davenport was contacted and provided this information.

It will be constructed by an adjacent developer - Coleman Homes. The plans have been approved by the City and are currently out to bid. The developer expects that construction will begin within 30 - 45 days, provided there are no delays associated with delivery of signal poles. The installation by the developer of this signal enables the developer to obtain impact fee credit for their subdivisions.
