CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
August 10, 2001
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
1. Since the newly adopted plan runs a freeway through the middle of the City
corporation yard, we are beginning to think about alternative locations. Hopefully,
it can be centrally located to take advantage of what will be the new roads. This is
several years off, but the magnitude of the task means we need to be thinking about
it now.
2. Between the second September meeting and the first one in October, we have
three weeks. We would like to move the October 10th meeting to October 3"d.
Please let me know right away if that causes any of you problems.
3. I have been getting out to meet with various employees at their work sites. That will
be an activity we hope to continue in the future.
4. Updates on various energy issues:
· Per the enclosed report, members of the City's energy team toured the Coast
Intelligen assembly facility in Vista, California. They also saw an actual
installation at a YMCA facility in San Diego. This unit provides base load power
and hot water for the facility and swimming pools. The ideal use of this
generator assembly unit is as a cogeneration unit, providing electricity and using
the waste heat to generate hot water and heat for the building heating system.
The energy team is reviewing the information supplied by Coast Intelligen and
reviewing specific City facilities to determine if installation would be
advantageous.
· With the impending reopening of the Rosedale Power Plant, we want to have as
much involvement as possible in the clean up of the contamination on the site,
particularly as it relates to water quality issues. The attached report indicates
that the Regional Water Quality Control Board is overseeing the overall clean up
of the broad area contamination caused by the adjacent refinery, but we will
investigate the possibility of being the lead agency for clean up of the area
directly under the PG&E site.

· Attached is a 'Toolkit for Local Government" from the Governor's Office of
Emergency Services. It has been distributed to all City departments as a
resource, should we experience electrical disruptions in the future.
· A copy of the chart from the California Independent Systems operator (ISO) is
enclosed that shows the available electrical resources, demand forecasts, and
actual demand. These charts are available on the internet on a daily basis.
This particular one for August 6th reflects an adequate supply of energy above
both the forecasted and actual demand.
· A similar report taken from the California Energy Commission's website is
attached that provides market update information on the prices and inventory
levels of natural gas in the state.
5. The next phase of the northeast water supply project has begun. The enclosed
memo from Water Resources has details and photos on this phase of construction.
6. Attached is an update on the Kern Government Services Internet portal project. It
is ready to be previewed by all the sponsoring government agencies. You may
recall that, instead of contracting with a private firm, which was quite expensive, a
team of City and County MIS staff is collaborating on the project. The County will
see a preview next week, and we will be scheduling a similar preview at the next
available Council workshop.
If you have not already received your invitations to the One Year Anniversary
Celebration of the Amtrak Station, it will be on Wednesday, August 22nd at 10:00
a.m.
8. I believe we have all received letters and petitions from a large veteran's group
asking us to work with them on developing a park as a Veterans' Memorial. I have
asked Stan Ford to identify those parks that we hope to develop in the new few
years to generate some ideas that could be discussed with the group. With their
financial assistance, perhaps we could accelerate something that would, otherwise,
take longer to achieve.
9. The Special Enforcement Gang Violence Report for July is enclosed for your
information. It is good to note that, compared to the same time last year, shootings
have decreased.
10. The July activity report from Recreation and Parks is enclosed.
11. Have you noticed how much better the City Manager's office area has been
looking? We still have a few more items to go. Thanks are due Rhonda Smiley
who has handled the project.

MEMORANDUM !ttl. 82001
DATE: August 7, 2001
TO: JOHN W. STINSON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRAD B. UNDERWOOD, PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS MANAGER
SUBJECT: TOUR OF COAST INTELLIGEN GENERATOR ASSEMBLY FACILITY
On July 19, 2001 Florn Core, Steve Hollingsworth and I visited the Coast Intelligen generator
assembly facility in Vista, California. We met with Peter Bonacic, Ray Raffesberger and other
members of their staff. The facility was impressive and it was obvious that they know the small,
self-contained electric generation business. We saw several generator assemblies being prepared
for installation at various locations around the state. The systems are turnkey with everything
basically ready to go when the unit is delivered to the site. They require space to place the unit, a
connection to the natural gas and electrical system, and other minor work prior to system startup,
Operating data access to the units is accomplished via a computer and modem where an instant
assessment of the units activity may be made. This would require the City to install a phone line.
We had the opportunity to see an actual installation at a YMCA facility in San Diego. The unit
was designed as part of the original construction to provide base load power, and hot water for
the facility and swimming pools. It is one of the smaller units and operates 24 hours per day. It is
installed in an open-top equipment room (approximately 10' x 20') next to the pool. When in the
pool area, the noise generated by the unit is equivalent to that of a residential pool pump/filter
system.
The ideal use of this generator assembly unit is as a cogeneration unit, providing electricity and
using the waste heat to generate hot water and heat for the building heating system. However, the
latter feature is not necessary as they have methods to cool the unit with external fans. We
witnessed the testing of a unit at their facility where they were doing external cooling. This is
accomplished through a condenser unit located outside to cool the water and the engine.
The units use a German-built, MAN, 12-cylinder natural gas internal combustion, water cooled
engine connected to a US-manufactured generator. The engines are serviced every 1,000 running
hours. That service includes changing the air cleaner, oil filter, spark plugs, and testing the oil.
The oil is changed every 4,000 running hours or sooner if needed. Every 8,000 to 10,000 running
hours, they tear down the engine completely or change out to a new engine. At this point,
alternative connection to utility power would be required.
The unit requires a two inch natural gas service at two pounds pressure. If used at our existing
buildings, where we have an existing gas service, a second service connection would be required.
IfPG&E grants the second service, the applicant would pay the entire cost. Presumably, the
applicant is Coast Intelligen and they will pay whatever costs occur.
Noise is an issue that must be dealt with especially with the larger engines. Coast Intelligen
indicates that they can moderate of noise issues and often have the turnkey units installed in a Sea
Train container that is insulated to diminish the noise to acceptable levels. Installation within a
constructed facility is also done. They have developed the Sea Train container installation as a
way to reduce costs. They indicate that they can meet any noise and air pollution requirements.
Most examples of installations we discussed were simply running on both the co-gen power and
utility company power. The unit is used for the base electrical load of the facility being powered,
with the remainder of the power being supplied by the utility. The generation is connected on the
load side of the main switch in parallel with the power company, thus reducing demand from the
power company.
The ideal installation is one that utilizes the hot water that is a by product. One location for this
use would be the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center where the pool could be heated in the winter
along with the building heating system. Another location would be City Hall where the initial
HVAC study has recommended replacement of the boiler. The heat generated by this type of unit
could replace the boiler and save the capital cost of boiler replacement. Mr. Core has indicated
that there may be some limited use at some of their water wells that pump water nearly 24 hours
per day.
I have been reviewing the information we received from Mr. Banacic on June 19, 2001 and
requested that they update the data to reflect the current PG&E rates. We do have other issues
that we are looking into and reviewing specific locations to determine if installation would be
advantageous.

Subject: Re: reopening of power plant
Alan;
The clean up of the contamination under this site, which is related to the Sunland Refinery, is currently
being overseen by the Regional Water Quality Control Board ( RWQCB ). This clean up was initiated in
1996 and to date 467,000 gallons of product has been removed from the water table and the soil above it.
The contractor estimates that the clean up phase is 50 percent completed. Due to the size and nature of
this project there is very little chance that the RWQCB will relinquish their lead agency status on this site.
We do however get quarterly reports from the Environmental Engineering company contracted to
complete the clean up as well as all correspondence relating to this project from the RWQCB.
The PG&E site itself, also has some indication of contamination associated with it. Last year preliminary
soil and water tests were completed as part of property transaction due diligence. Contamination was
found in several areas of the site, including one test result that indicated hexavalent chromium and arsenic
in the water. The RWQCB requested additional testing be done to determine the full extent of the
contamination as well as additional water testing to evaluate the extent, if any, of the ground water
contamination. The water table testing has been completed and does appear to be OK. The soil testing
has not been resolved to date. We initially referred this to the water board because of the hexavalent
chrome found in the water sample. Hexavalent chrome is the material found in the groundwater ( at much
higher levels ) as part of the" Erin Brockovich" investigation and subsequent movie. We also receive
quarterly reports and correspondence related to this site, on a regular basis This project could possibly be
returned to our oversight if we request it.
The permitting of the new power generation facility is being handled the Public Energy Commission (
PUC ). This is part of a new streamlined permitting process for power generating facilities and as such we
could not be the lead agency.
>>> Alan Tandy 08/02/01 08:16AM >>>
particularly as it relates to the water quality and contamination issue-what agency is the lead? Is there
anyway the City could be the lead? If not how do we keep an active role? Obvious issue is a concern with
the spread of contamination of the groundwater- thanks

Foreword, Purpose and Scope
Foreword On June 1,2001, Governor Davis issued Executive Order D-38-01,
requiring the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OF.S) to develop
an implementation plan for notifying the public, public safety agencies,
and the media with timely information on imminent and potential
electrical blackouts.
Purpose OES .has developed this "Tool Kit" as a supplement to the Emergency
Planning Guidance for Local Governments. This "Tool Kit" was
developed to identify possible actions that city and/or county governments
can take to protect public health and during electric disruptions, regardless
of their cause. It also provides preparedness, response, recovery and
mitigation actions relevant .to electric disruptions.
Scope This "Tool Kit" identifies the types of electrical disruptions, the types of
customers potentially affected, and the types of facilities and populations
with critical electrical needs.
The "Tool Kit" provides general planning assumptions for consideration
by local government in anticipation and reaction to power disruptions, as
well as typical criteria that may be used to identify those facilities and
populations. This document is not prescriptive but is only intended as
guidance.

Disruption Classification, Notification
Procedures and Outreach
Classification The electric power industry does not have a universal agreement
of for classifying disruptions. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize
Disruptions different types of outages are possible so that plans may be made to handle
them effectively
Electric power disruptions can be generally grouped into two categories:
Intentional and Unintentional. There are four types of intentional
disruptions.
Intentional Some disruptions are intentional and can be scheduled. For example, a
(Planned) disruption may be necessary when components of the power system are
Sc.heduled taken out of service for maintenance or upgrading. Scheduled intentional
disruptions can last from several minutes to several hours, and customers
are usually notified in advance.
Unscheduled Some intentional disruptions must be done "on the spot." As a
result, advance notice cannot be provided. For example, a fire department
or a police depaament may request a disruption in service during a fire or
an accident.
Demand-Side Some customers (i.e., on the demand side) have entered-into an
Management agreement with their utility provider .to curtail their demand for electricity
during periods of peak system loads. In return for agreeing to these
disruptions, these customers receive a lower electric rate and/or a rebate.
Load Shedding When.xhe power system is under extreme stress due to heavy'
demand and/or failure of critical components, it is sometimes necessary to
intentionally interrupt the service to selected customers to prevent the
entire system from collapsing. In such cases, customer service (or load) is
cut, sometimes with little or no warning. One form of'load shedding.-
called a "rotating blackout" - involves cutting service to selected
customers for a predetermined period (usually not more than two hours).
As power is restored to one block of custOmers, power to another block of
customers is interrupted to reduce the overall load on the system.
Unintentional Unplanned disruptions are outages that come with essentially no advance
(Unplanned) notice. This type of disruption is the most problematic. The following are
categories to classify unplanned disruptions:
· accident by the utility or utility contractor, or others
· malfunction, or equipment failure, due, for example, to age, improper
operation, excessive operation, or manufacturing defect; special
subcategories cover broken fuse links and underground cable, joint, or
termination failures
· overload on either the utility's equipment or a customer's equipment
· reduced capability, that is, equipment that cannot operate within its
design criteria
· tree contact other than from storms
· vandalism, or intentional damage
· weather, including ice/snow, lightning, wind, earthquake, flood and
broken tree limbs taking down power lines
· wildfire that damages-transmission lines
Notification What follows is a general-description of notification responsibilities for
Responsibilities electric power disruptions.
California The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) is tasked
Independent with managing the power distribution grid that supplies most of
System Operator California, except in areas serviced by municipal utilities.
Alerts CAtSO uses a series of stage alerts to the media based on system
conditions. The alerts are:
· Stage 1 - When the reserve margin falls below 7%
· Stage 2 - When the reserve margin falls below 5%
· Stage 3 - When the reserve margin falls below 1.5%
Rotating blackouts become a possibility when Stage 3 is
reached.
Utilities Utilities generally rely on media releases to inform .the public of electric
power disruptions. Ongoing emergency coordination between city and
county emergency managers and utility providers could enhance advance
notification of electric disruptions and restoration coordination.
5
Outreach
Utility Customers The term "customer" in this document means the bill payer. A
Defined customer may be an individual homeowner, for example. In other words,
the number of customers affected is not the same as the number of people
affected. Disruption of electrical service to a single customer such as a
company officebuilding may, in fact, affect hundreds of individuals.
Utilities Utilities may provide the following information to. public safety agencies,
upon -request:
· Utilities service area;
· Grid; and,
· Infrastructure information.
OES ' OES provides materials to the media, local governments and others on
power conservation tips, notifications, preparedness and response
activities.
All Everyone involved in the process of electric power disruptions needs to
· keep in mind the concept of risk communication. Natural disasters
provide no focus for public anger because there is no one to blame. If an
event is perceived as "human-caused'-', the public .tends to attribute it to
human error, which becomes a focal point for public anger and skepticism.
Skepticism can lead to distrust, which can cause over or under reaction.
6
Preparedness Planning
The concepts used to prepare for floods, earthquakes, and wildfires
and other emergencies should be used to plan for electric power
disruptions. Electric power disruption plans should address actions to be
taken during the four phases of emergency management: preparedness,
response, recovery, and mitigation. The main difference is that rotating
blackouts are brief, and possibly numerous over the entire summer and
beyond, depending on weather and electrical supply. Such events may not
merit activating an Emergency Operations Center or declaring an
emergency, given the anticipated brief duration of electric disruptions.
· Local Governing Initiation of the planning process may require action by the governing
Boards board in the form of a resolution or ordinance that provides local
guidance, identifying goals, objectives, providing the authority, intent and
the composition of the planning team.
Planning Team The planning team should be agencies and departments that make up the
general emergency management structure since the same problems
experienced in other disasters could happen during power disruptions. A ,
planning team may include the -following, as determined by the
city/county governments:
· management or executive
· city or county counsel
· emergency management
· law enforcement
· fire services
· emergency medical services
· human services (county welfare or city community services, etc)
· schools
· public health agencies
· hospitals and care homes
· community based organizations
· operational area
· public works departments
· utility providers
General Planning In drafting a plan the following assumptions ought to be considered by
Assumptions local governments:
· Government agencies need to reduce electricity consumption,
providing an example to the public to conserve.
· Emergency service providers must use electricity to conduct their
public .safety duties. Many of them are exempt from rotating
blackouts, having been identified by the California Public Utilities
Commission (PUC) as "essential", and they may also have limited
back-up generation capacity.
· Some emergency service providers may not be exempt from rotating
blackouts because .they have not been designated as "essential."
· The State itself cannot-mandate energy efficiency for local government
.~ agencies, but can inform local agencies of its importance and
encourage reduction strategies where possible.
· Entities may apply political pressure in an attempt to increase the
number of "essential" facilities not subject to rotating blackouts, which
in turn, could make it more difficult to reduce the use and thus avoid
rotating blackouts.
· Rotating blackouts will increase the need for emergency services, thus
causing emergency service providers to use more electricity, not less.
· A power disruption response should be flexible enough to enable
' responders to scale-up for longer duration disruptions.
· Power disruptions may be caused by lighting strikes, wildfires,
accidents and maintenance.
· The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) will be
used in responding to impacts of electric power disruptions.
Essential and Critical Facilities
Essential The loss of electrical service .to some facilities can significantly affect
Facilities public health and safety. Essential facilities as described in this document
includes police and fire stations, hospitals, nursing homes, water pumping
stations, railroad crossings, and industrial facilities that handle hazardous
materials. Many of these facilities may have received exemptions from
utilities from rotating blackouts.
Critical Sue~ested ways of ident-ifying Critical Facilities
Facilities Critical facilities are buildings, areas, or systems that could experience
significant impacts if electrical service was lost. While every home,
office, commercial establishment, or industrial factory would be affected
by the loss of electricity, some are more vital to the community well being
than others. Suggested guidelines for identifying .a facility as "critical"
could include the following:
Impact on Orderly At some facilities, the loss of electrical service can cause significant
Functioning disruption to the orderly functioning of government, business, and private
citizen activities. Although direct health and safety issues may not be a
consideration, the loss of electric service can have significant
consequences. Examples of these types of facilities include traffic
intersections, where heavy congestion can develop; elevator-served, high-
rise buildings, where people can be forced .to climb many steps to get into
or out of the building; auditoriums, where loss of power can create
difficulties for a large number of people exiting the facility; and facilities
equipped with security alarms triggered by loss of power and that require
numerous investigations by local government response personnel.
Impact on the Some facilities may experience significant economic loss as a result of
Economy electrical service disruptions. Examples include industrial factories, food-
handling establishments (restaurants, supermarkets), and computer-based
businesses. Facility owners may experience economic impacts in the short
term (e.g., food. spoilage), or the municipality may experience impacts in
the long term, such as relocation of'businesses that cannot cope with
frequent power disruptions.
Impact on Other Loss of electrical service at some facilities can affect other infrastructures
Infrastructures For example, loss of power at a telephone switching office can interrupt
communications, and loss of power at a natural gas compressor station can
affect gas delivery. In worst-case conditions, these effects, known as
"infrastructure interdependencies," can cascade with drastic consequences.
9
In applying these general guidelines, more specific criteria must also be
considered to ensure that available resources are properly allocated. It is
important to identify critical facilities as those that will require significant
local government response (e.g., fire, police, emergency medical services,
public works) during an electrical power disruption.
Currently,' no universally accepted criteria exist for identifying "critical
facilities" in all situations. Nevertheless, the table below is offered as a
guide.

Gathering of Local governments can gather information on critical facilities
Critical Facility from various sources. Many local governments already have assembled a
Information list of important facilities as a result of other emergency planning
activities. '~'~
A key piece of data on critical facilities' for electric power disruption '~_
planning is the current electrical service at each facility. Besides general
information about a facility, it is important to gather the following details: -~.
· utility providers feeder line(s) that serve the facili, ty, ,'
· availability of electric power backup systems,
· type of'backup system (e.g., diesel generator, battery system),
· maximum operation time of backup system,
· availability of rapid connection capability for hook-up of portable
generators, and
· suitability of the facility as a temporary shelter during widespread,
extended outages.
A sample critical facilities survey form (Attachment 1) has been included
with this document .to assist in assessing critical facilities vulnerability.
In addition to using a survey form.to gather information, local
governments can conduct on,site inspections of Selected facilities to
determine the specifics of their electric .power supply system and to
identify any necessary enhancements.
Prioritization of Once the information on critical facilities has been gathered priorities
Critical Facilities should be established for response. Some critical facilities may
for Response require an immediate response in-the event of any disruption of service
because of the'potential for immediate or significant public health and '
safety, impacts. Other critical facilities may require a-response only in the:
event of a lengthy disruption. If a widespread disruption affected
numerous critical facilities, it may be necessary to allocate available
response resources (e.g., police, fire, emergency medical) to those critical
facilities most in need. This type of "facility triage" may already exist in
other local emergency response plans.
Response priorities for critical facilities will vary according to local
requirements and needs. Some factors to be considered are:
· Length of time before the occurrence of serious impacts. Critical
facilities that may warrant a more rapid response.
· Nature of potential impacts. Critical facilities that involve potential
public safety impacts may warrant a more rapid response than those
with just potential inconvenience impacts
12
· Availability of backup power supplies. Critical facilities with backup
generation capability may not need immediate response.
· Number and groups of people potentially, affected. Critical facilities
where a large number of people would be affected may warrant a more
rapid response than those where only a few would be affected. Also,
critical facilities that serve primarily seniors or children may require
more rapid response than those that serve primarily able-bodied adults.
Other Considerations
Special As noted previously, in some critical facilities, the loss of electrical
Considerations for service could affect other infrastructures (e.g., telephone switching
Infrastructure offices, natural gas compressor stations). These installations, many
Interdependencies owned and operated by private companies, are not usually included on a
local government's critical facilitytist. Nevertheless, it is in the best
interest of the local government to identify these facilities and discuss with
the owners how their facilities should be treated during a power
disruption. There could be situations in which the local government could
assist the company owner in protecting the facility from, and/or-mitigating
against, any damage from power disruptions. Such' actions should be
developed and prioritized by the local government as needed to prevent a
cascading infrastructure failure.
13
The following table may be used as a general guide when deciding how to
prioritize critical facility response:
Suggested "Critical" Facility Prioritization
..........
Immediate Response Emergency services facilities,
· Highest priority for response including police, fire, and emergency
under any disruption conditions medical services
· Potential for immediate, serious Medical facilities, for example,
impacts hospitals, care facilities, etc. -
· Most of these high-priority Road intersections
facilities will have or should Railroad crossings
have power backup capability. Populations on life support equipment
\
Response in First 2 Hours Medical facilities, including nursing
· High priority for response for all homes, care homes and medical
disruptions up to 2 hours offices
· Contact is initiated with all Schools, especially nursery schools
facilities in this category to and elementary schools
determine needed response. High-rise buildings
Respond in First 6 Hours Water.facilities, including water
· Priority for response when supply and wastewater treatment
disruptions last longer than 2
hours
e Response needed within 6 hours
· Contact is initiated with all
facilities in this category to
determine the-necessary
response.
Response on Call Public assembly
· Lower priority, but still critical Commercial or industrial property
· Response is made upon a request
for assistance from a facility.

Vulnerable Customer Groups
Power-Disruption Vulnerable customer groups are different from "essential" or "critical"
-Sensitive facilities in that these are individual customers not in a group setting.
Individuals
Identification of Power-disruption-sensitive individuals are-people who would be
Power- Disruption seriously affected by a disruption in electrical service, including
-Sensitive individuals who use electrically powered medical support equipment,
Individuals elderly people who live alone, mentally diminished and physically
disabled individuals. For those people who use medical support
equipment (e.g., respirators, automatic medication dispensers), short-term
disruptions can be serious or even life threatening.
Some utilities have already identified these individuals and have
procedures for notifying them of power disruptions. Attachment 2
Power Disruption Safety Tips provides some preventative actions for the
general population, elderly and people with. disabilities.
Gathering of Collecting information on' power-disruption-sensitive individuals
Information can require a great deal of effort and resources. To be genuinely
on Power- useful, the information must be kept up to date. Ways to gather this
Disruption information are: 1)use existing government agency contacts, 2) coordinate
-Sensitive with local area agencies on aging 3) coordinate with community-based
Individuals organizations, 4) rely on self-reporting, and 5) have utilities request the
information from their customers. Attachment 3 Vulnerable
Populations Identification is designed to be sent to customers by utilities ~
to develop a database of.vulnerable customers.
How social service and emergency response lists are compiled and
updated varies widely among communities. In any case, a local
government that decides to compile a list of power-disruption-sensitive
individuals should first consult with local social service and emergency
response organizations to determine whether this information is al. ready
available. In addition to local organizations, county and state
organizations are also potential sources of this information.
Utilities can also gather.this type of information from their customers via a
questionnaire enclosed in their bills.
Whatever technique is used to gather information on power-disruption-
sensitive individuals, it is extremely important to maintain the privacy of
the individuals.

periods of time (less than approximately 2-4 hours). The primary focus
here is to respond to the needs of power-disruption-senSitive individuals
and/or critical facilities that may be affected. In general, local
government personnel on duty can handle a limited disruption. The
following chart presents these actions.

Recovery
Al~ough power disruptions may be brief and frequent, the response and
recovery actions may tend to overlap. Documenting effective lessons-
learned will improve future responses.
Before a disruption is over and while response actions are still being
undertaken, the local electric utility may need support from the local
government (e.g., police, fire, public works) to gain entry to equipment
sites, to secure repair sites from unauthorized access, or to provide other
support services. It is important for local governments to have an
established procedure for providing this support to the utility. The
communication protocol for the local electric utility to request this support
and manner in which local government personnel can provide it should be
established before any emergency situation.
Local government staff must know their support limits to avoid dangerous
exposure to unfamiliar equipment and should be discouraged from
attempting repairs on electrical utility equipment because of potential
safety and liability risks.
Immediately after any electrical power disruption event, it is important for'
the local jurisdiction to evaluate its capabilities and take appropriate action
in preparation of future similar events.
When the power returns, all backup and emergency equipment should be
returned to standby and be ready for subsequent disruptions. It is
important to recognize and be prepared for any emergency at any time,
even if one emergency has just concluded. The need to be prepared for any
additional emergency conditions that may occur within a short time must
be recognized.
Further, after a power disruption conduct an after action review to identify
any weaknesses in the overall process and to make corrections. This type
of debriefing can help prepare for the next disruption.
Be aware that frequent disruption warnings that do not materialize into an
actual loss of service can lead to.ambivalence and a temptation to take
successive warnings less seriously, to be complacent with preparedness.

Mitigation
Local governments can take steps that will improve theirability to cope
with electric power disruptions in the longer term. These steps include the
use of building codes, zoning ordinances, and growth and development
projections.
· Building Codes Building codes are used to ensure that construction in a community meets
minimum standards required for public health and safety and for quality
workmanship. Building codes can also be used to increase a community's
ability .to deal with disruptions to the electric power infrastructure by
requiring facilities to be adequately prepared for power disruptions.
Modification of a building's use can significantly affect electrical
service requirements, which may or may not be readily identified on
building permits. Some examples of this type of project include the
following:
Conversion of conventional commercial or industrial facilities to
computer-based company operations with extensive computer
equipment and air-conditioning requirements;
Conversion of a commercial building to residential condominiums;
and
Rehabilitation of residential buildings to increase their electrical
service.
Local governments can use zoning change requests, permit applications,
economic development plans, or other informal means to identify
modification to rehab projects
Communities that adopt building codes as part of their municipal code -
thus making compliance mandatory- frequently use several codes
developed by national organizations. While model codes provide basic
guidance, municipalities often amend and modify them to meet specific
local requirements. The following table serves as a broad outline of the
information that could be contained in local codes that are most relevant to
increasing a facility's ability to deal with power disruptions.

on-site fuel supply for 2 hours of operation, unless the system is natural-
gas-fueled and the probability of simultaneous failure of the electric and
natural gas supplies is considered to be low..
[~ Prescribe-requirements for "legally required standby" systems, which are
designed tO provide 'backup power for equipment whose disruption, could
create hazards or hamper fire-fighting efforts. Battery and generator
requirements are similar to those for emergency systems.
[2] Prescribe requirements-for "optional standby" systems, which are designed
to provide backup power for non-safety-related equipment. '?
[2] Establish requirements for health care facilities, including hospitals, nursing

the time needed to have the EP$S pick up the load, and which ranges from
essentially instantaneous (uninterruptible power supplies) through 10-120
seconds, to manual with no time limit.
specify how long the EP$$ can operate without fueling, and which ranges
from $ minutes to 48 hours.
Permit EP$S fuel sources to be liquid petroleum products (e.g.,
diesel fuel), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or natural gas.

utility supply and the EP$$.
Set safety and environmental requirements for EP$S.
Provide performance and safety requirements for stored electrical energy,
batteries, mechanical energy storage, and motor generators systems used .for
emergency purposes.
Provide requirements for .backup power installed in industrial and
commercial-facilities.
Identify emergency power needs in commercial and industrial facilities,

systems, heating, refrigeration, production, space conditioning, fire
protection, data processing, life support and 'life safety systems,
communication systems, and signal circuits.
Provide standards for generators and utility emergency power systems.
Provide requirements for design, construction, operation, inspection,
maintenance, and repair of elevators, including handling power failures.
Provide requirements for health care facilities.

Zoning A case 'in point, portions of the City of Chicago's Municipal Code
Ordinances may be used as an example of how codes are adapted to meet local
conditions. The following tables summarize some of the features of the
City of Chicago's code:
This chapter covers all new buildings more than 80 feet above grade.
[~ It requires a System II emergency system. In addition to supplying
emergency lights, the system must supply a fire department emergency
access elevator to all floors, a communication system, and fire command
and alarm systems.
[~ All buildings more than 400 feet above grade must have a diesel-driven
emergency generator for fire pumps.
All existing and new residential buildings more than 80 feet above grade must
have either an on-site generator or an approved battery system for emergency
lights. The fuel source for the generator in buildings more than 80 but under
400 .feet above grade can be natural gas or diesel. In buildings more than 400
feet above grade, the fuel source must be diesel.
This chapter covers requirements for emergency and exit lighting systems.
[~ System I emergency systems are defined as consisting of three sources of
electric power: the normal supply, an auxiliary source, and a final reserve
source. The auxiliary source can be an alternative supply from the
electric utility (e.g., connection from a second service line, ·connection to
and alternate feeder) or an on-site generator. The final reserve source can
be from an on-site generator or a'battery system. System I is required in
the following structures:
homes for the aged (with two or more floors or more than
20 persons)
hospitals
school halls (with fixed seats)
theaters
[~ System II emergency systems are defined as consisting of two sources of
electric power: the normal source and 'an 'auxiliary source. In residential
buildings more than 80 feet above grade, the auxiliary source must be an
on-site generator or a battery system. System II is required for the
following:
hotels iii'
infirmaries ~-
schools (with more than 100 students)
school halls (without fixed seats) '!~'
26
System III emergency systems are defined as consisting of two sources of
electric power: the normal source and an auxiliary source. The auxiliary
source must'be from an approved source that supplies only the exit and
emergency lights. System III is required in the following structures:
jails
libraries
motels
police stations (with two or more floors or more than 20
persons)
residential buildings (more than 80-feet above grade)
rooming houses (with two or more floors or more than 20
persons)
schools (with fewer than 100 students)
[221 Battery units must operate ~for a minimum of 2 hours.
Q Generators must be able to pick upthe load within 10 seconds.
-[2] An on-site fuel supply must be available for 4 hours operation. The
generator is allowed to pick up selected emergency loads other than
lighting.
[2] Sets safety and environmental requirements for the SEPSS.
Zoning ordinances stipulate the type of land use that is acceptable in
various locations in a community. Zoning can significantly affect the
· electric power requirements of an area. For example, an area zoned
"residential" will have a very different electricity load profile than an area
zoned "commercial or "industrial."
There.are two ways in which zoning can affect the electric power
infrastructure. First, zoning plays a role in determining the location of a
site for electric power facilities, including power plants, transmission
lines, and substations. The current trend of constructing many small and
medium scale "peaker" power plants has ignited zoning controversies.
Many communities are now developing policies and zoning ordinances
that will affect the location of these facilities.
It is important for a community to understand that the location (or
restrictions on the location through zoning) of electric power facilities
within its boundaries may (or may not) directly affect the reliability of the
power supply to that community. A community that is home to a peaker
plant, for example, does not necessarily enjoy more reliable service.
Likewise, not having a power plant does not imply decreased reliability.
Electric power plants are built to provide power to the entire electric grid,
not just to .the area in which they are located. However, a distribution
substation, which connects customers to the grid, will directly affect the
reliability of electrical service in the area in which it is located.
Growth and All electric power companies develop projections of long-term
Development demand as a starting point for planning the expansion of electric power
larojections generation, transmission, and distribution facilities. Projections are made
for a range of planning horizons (from 1 to 20 years) and'for a range of
geographical resolutions (for the entire system to individual distribution
substations and feeder lines). In general, the shorter the planning horizon
and the larger the geographic resolution used, the more likely the demand
forecast will be reasonably representative of the actual situation.
Zoning affects the electric power infrastructure because it influences and
is influenced by the type and .rate of development. During the last 2.5
years, local government has established a major trend toward using
zoning- and the closely related ability to control the local subdivision of
land - to regulate growth.
Final Note
Legal and Some .solutions considered.in planning for a local electric poWer
Regulatory disruption cannot be implemented without obtaining special legal and
Requirements reguIatory authority. Local governments should fully engage legal
counsel to ensure that all necessary authorizations are in place.
Further, some actions could subject the local government to liabilities.
Again, proper legal measures should be in place to address these
liabilities.
Coordination A local electric power disruption preparedness plan should be
'With the local COordinated with the local electric utility service providers. Many
~Electric utility aspects of a plan require close cooperation between the-local government
and the utility. These issues should be worked out and agreed upon in
advance, before the disruption occurs, to ensure an efficient and effective
response.

Power Disruption Safety Tips
General Public
What ShoUld I Do?
o Meet with your family and/or neighbors to discuss the disruptions and how to
prepare and respond.
o Have a plan for medically fragile friends and .relatives. ff they use life support
equipment, know if the equipment has a battery backup and test it.
o Know and watch for signs of heat stress, particularly in small children and the
elderly and medically fragile.
During Summer
o Be aware of days of extreme heat predictions by listening to the radio, TV and/or
reading the paper.
o Stay indoors and avoid extreme temperature changes.
o Wear light colored, lightweight and loose fitting clothing.
o Make appointments for the doctor, shopping etc. in the morning.
o Prevent dehydration by drinking at least 6-8 glasses of fluids every day.
o Avoid coffee, caffeine containing soda, tea and alcohol.
o Avoid any direct exposure ~to the sun. If you must go outside, wear sunscreen, a
hat and conduct outdoor activities during the coolest part of the day.
During Winter'
o If you go outside for any reason, dress for the season and expected conditions:
For cold weather, wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing
rather than one layer of heavy clothing. Outer garments should be tightly woven
and water-repellent.
o Mittens are warmer than gloves.
o Wear a hat.
o Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs from extremely, cold air.
o Wear sturdy, waterproof boots in snow or flooding conditions.
o Conserve fuel, if necessary, by keeping your house cooler than normal.
o Temporarily shut off heat to less-used rooms.
o ff using kerosene or propane heaters, maintain ventilation to avoid build-up of
toxic fumes.
o Keep heaters at least three feet from flammable objects
o Refuel kerosene or propane heaters outside.
o Avoid travel, if possible. If you must travel, do so daring daylight.
o Don't travel alone.
o Stay on main roads, and keep others informed of your schedule.
iv
Special Concerns
o Health concerns associated with a rise in temperature include heat cramps, heat
fatigue, heat syncope, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke.
General signs and symptoms of heat related heath problems include weakness, dizziness,
nausea, and/or muscle cramps.
For heat cramps, heat fatigue, or heat syncope
- You should stop the activity which caused the symptoms and move to a
cooler environment if feasible. If you have other medical concerns, you
should contact your physician.
For heat exhaustion
- Seek immediate medical attention. Do everything possible in' the interim
of medical advisement inclusive of moving to a cooler environment as
feasible, minimize activity, drink water or juice, and use cool wet cloths
on the body.
Signs and symptoms of heat stroke include sudden high temperature,
headache, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, profuse
sweating, muscle rigidity, confusion/altered mental status and/or: possible
seizures.
For heatstroke
- Call 911 immediately, as this is a medical emergency. Be sure to move
to a cooler environment as feasible, apply cold water compresses.to the
body or immerse your body in cool water while waiting for medical
transport.
Frostbite Frostbite is a severe reaction to cold.exposure that can permanently
damage its victims. A loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in
fingers, toes, or nose and ear lobes are symptoms of frostbite
Hypothermia Hypothermia is a condition brought on when the body temperature drops
to less than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Symptoms of hypothermia include
uncontrollable shivering, 'slow speech, memory lapses, frequent stumbling,
drowsiness, and exhaustion.
For Frostbite If frostbite or hypothermia is suspected, begin warming the person
or slowly and seekimmediate medical assistance. Warm the person's trunk
Hypothermia first. Use your own body heat .to help. Arms and legs should be warmed
last because stimulation of the limbs can drive cold blood toward the heart
and lead to heart failure. Put .person in dry clothing and wrap their entire
body in a blanket.
Never give a frostbite or hypothermia victim something with caffeine in it
(like coffee or tea) or alcohol. Caffeine, a stimulant, can cause the heart to
beat faster and hasten the effects the cold has on the body. Alcohol, a
depressant, can stow the heart and also hasten the ill' effects of cold body
temperatures.
What Will I Need?
o An extra three-day supply of any needed medication or medical supplies.
o A first aid kit for your home.
o A battery-powered radio with fresh batteries (this may be your only source of
information during the disruptions).
o Additional supplies for special needs (i.e. infants, seniors, pets).
o Have reserve supply of bottled water.
Seniors and/or
Persons with Disabilities
o .Contact the local electrical utility company in advance about any specific needs
regarding machines or other life-sustaining devices that depend- on electricity. If
lack of electricity would create an immediate threat to life or safety, local public
safety agencies should also be given advance notification.
o To expedite emergency response, house numbers shoUld be readily visible from
the street.
· o For people using battery-powered mobility or breathing equipment, assure that
.. batteries are fully charged each day. Contact your medical equipment provider to
be aware of their ability to assist during a power disruption..
o Establish a support network of friends and neighbors who can check in
periodical-ly if the power is out, to assure that assistance is available if needed.
o Keep a flashlight or lantern equipped with fresh batteries within easy reach, so
that some ·light is immediately available if the power does go out. For people with
limited reach or grasping ability, inexpensi-ve battery-operated touch lamps are a
good option. Such lights can be installed in areas of greatest use, and are small
enough to be carried in an emergency. Do not use candles or oil lamps for light in
an emergency, as they can be fire hazards. '
o Store supplies of medicine and drinking water so they will be readily accessible in
the event of a power disruption. Some household water supplies may be disrupted
during power disruptions.
o Assemble a lO-day supply of prescription medications and durable medical goods
and store them in a convenient location, in the event that a prolonged electrical
disruption or other emergency should require evacuation.
o A copy of emergency contact numbers and current prescriptions should be stored
in the same location.
o Cordless telephones may not work during a power disruption, so consider keeping
a standard phone plugged'into a second phone jack in case it is ever needed. A
cellular phone is also a good backup option, but be aware that in a widespread
emergency any communication network may quickly become overloaded with
calls.
vi
o When an electrical disruption occurs, turn off all appliances, computers and lights
except for one that will indicate When power has been restored.
o Food Safety - Perishable food should not be held above 40 degrees for more than
2 hours. During a power disruption, do not open the refrigerator or freezer, as an
unopened refrigerator' will keep food cold enough for a couple of hours. If the
refrigerator was out for more than 2-4 hours, you are best to discard perishables.

Vulnerable Population Identification
The following is a tool that public safetY agencies, may use to request
information directly from vulnerable (i.e., life support) customers. Its use is
as follows:
1. Public safety agencies -that desire additional information regarding
vulnerable persons within their jurisdiction may create a letter and/or
survey. This letter should be developed in consultation with the affected
utility. An example is provided.
2. Public safety agencies may then request the Utilities to send out the letter
to those customers that may be vulnerable to power-outages included
within the public safety agency's jurisdiction. The public safety agency
should consult with the utilities to determine the appropriate recipients of
the letter and/or survey.
3. Utility customers that want to self identify their vulnerability to power
outages may return the completed survey directly to the public safety
agency.
4. Public 'safety agencies are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of the personal information (name and address) of any customer that
replies to the survey.

Public Safety Agency Letter and Form For Identifying
Power-Outage-Sensitive Individuals
Dear resident:
You or someone at this address has been identified by your power utility as a resident on
the life support and/or medical baseline rate. Therefore, you may be more sensitive to
power interruptions. Your local public safety agencY is identifying individuals that may
be particularly vulnerable during electrical power outages. These are individuals that use
life-sustaining equipment at their homes due to serious medical conditions, significant
physical or mental impairments, or other limitations and would-be adversely affected by
an interruption in power. If you believe you qualify and would like to participate, please
complete and return the attached survey. Your participation is appreciated' but is
completely voluntary. ..
Please note that your participation to this survey does not imply any additional services or
obligations .toward you from your local public safety agency. This information may be
used to assist your local public safety agency to develop emergency plans or procedures

Natural Gas Market Update Page 1 of 3
Weekly Natural Gas Report July 30, 2001
Natural Gas Market Conditions from July 23-27, 2001
Warmer temperatures, reverting to normal conditions, and a slowing in storage injections
last week, July 23-27, placed upward pressure on prices. Most of the nation experienced
normal temperatures except for the Texas-Great Plains area where temperatures were above
normal. Storage injections of 84 billion cubic feet (Bcf) were reported in the lower portion
of the market's expectations, ranging from 80-100 Bcf.
From August 6-10, 2001, the National Weather Service forecasts temperatures to be above
normal from the Rockies to the East Coast and the Deep South and West Coast to
experience normal to below normal temperatures. At this time, no tropical storms exist in
the Atlantic Ocean that could interrupt natural gas supplies. However, weather watchers are
keeping an eye on two tropical waves, one around Cuba and the other close to the Bahamas.
The Henry Hub natural gas futures contracts are traded for 36 months. The September 2001
natural gas futures contract, today's near month contract, began trading in August 1998.
This contract will stop trading on August 29, 2001. The trading of this contract provides
daily closing (settlement) prices for the contract. These settlement prices indicate what the
natural gas market is willing to buy and sell in September 2001 with the information they
have today.

TO: Gene Bogart, Water Resources Manager
FROM: Florn~esources Director
SUBJECT: Northeast Water Supply Project - Next Phase
The next phase of construction on the Northeast Water Supply Project is underway. This project is to bring high
quality Kern River drinking water to the citizens of northeast and central Bakersfield. The project began with the
City constructing a Kern River turn-out structure, located near the California Living Museum. The entire project,
a public-private cooperation between California Water Service Co. and the City, will include a river pumping
station, ponds and reservoirs, the purification/treatment plant facility and pipelines to and from the plant.
Installation of the raw water intake pipeline from the river to the treatment plant site began on August 1,2001 with
the initial delivery of 200 feet of 54" diameter high pressure pipe. The length of this installed raw water pipe will
be over 8,000 feet. Also included with this phase is the concurrent installation of 6,000 feet of 18" diameter
finished water pipe. Installation began near California Water Service's treatment plant site, located 1½ mile north
of Mesa Main Raceway and 1/4 mile east of the new Morning Drive Bike Path alignment.
The next constructed portion of the project are the riverside reservoirs and the river pump station, with
construction planned to start in the next three months for both.
Approximately 120' of 54" diameter intake water pipe Two joints of 54" diameter pipe on
for Northeast Water Project. Pipe material is concrete trailer ready for unloading.

SUBJECT: Kern Government Services Internet Portal Update
The Kern County Government Services Internet Portal will be going live on August 15, 2001 !
The Web Portal, designed and programmed by City and County staff, will run on an existing
City web server.
The purpose of the Portal is to provide a web site that offers the public a broad array of
resources and services without the need to know which jurisdiction or agency provides that
resource or service. The citizen-centric site will offer services organized for ease of use, not
based upon the agency site actually providing these services.
The site includes a search engine which searches both the City and County web sites. It also
has sections set up for elected officials, job openings, public safety, recreation, environment,
energy, and a directory of community calendars. In designing the site, we have met the
Priority 1 guidelines of the Web Accessibility Initiative in order to meet the guidelines of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Initially, the Portal is limited in scope and provides the front-end for future enhancements which
will include additional government agencies and geographic-based information and queries.
On August 14, Janette Pell will be demonstrating the new Kern Government Internet Portal to
the Board of Supervisors, prior to the official opening of the site on August 15. The address of
the site is vvww.kerngov.net.

KERN GOVERNMENT SERVICES INTERNET PORTAL UPDATE REPORT
On May 8, 2001, the Board approved the recommendation for the County and City of Bakersfield staffto
begin developing the first phase of the Kern Government Services Interact Portal. A newly designed Kern
Government Services Internet web site (www.kemgov.net) has been completed and will be made available to
the public on August 17, 2001.
The purpose of the Kern Government Services Internet Portal is to provide a web site that offers the public a
broad array of resources and services without the need to know which jurisdiction or agency provides that
resoume or servia. The citizen-centric site will offer services organized for ease of use, not based upon the
agency site actually providing these services.
Initially, the framework for the Portal site is limited in scope and provides only a basic front-end. The
Portal site will include:
· Top Links identifying popular services. Some links will go to interim pages that will list similar
services offered by the various agencies. For example, the "Jobs" link will initially go to a page
with links for City and County job opportunities.
· Search functionality allowing users to enter keywords. All agencies represented on the 'Portal
will be searched and results will be displayed in order by relevance.
· Contact information for key agency personnel and departments.
· Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements will be met by using the Priority 1
guidelines of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
Future phases of the Portal development will expand on the above features and include contact information
for agencies based on service name, the addition of other government agencies within the County, and
geographically-based information. Additionally, applications and links will be expanded and further
developed as needs are identified.
Therefore, IT IS RECOMMENDED that your Board receive and file this report.

MILES O' MEDIANS
Actually upon completion of all planned median projects we will have several miles of newly
landscaped medians. The current project phase under construction includes "H" Street from Wilson
Road to Ming Avenue. This nearly 3,000 foot stretch of median received an upgraded water service
and new irrigation system.
Additional trees will soon be planted between existing mature Canary Island Pines. Planting should
occur early August. Shrubbery will also be planted at each tree well.
WE KEEP GROWING AND GROWING .....
With Bakersfield's continued growth we found need for creating a fourth general maintenance
assignment area. Under the previous scenario, one supervisor's general area ran north to south with
Bakersfield divided into East, Central and West areas of responsibility.
Our latest division of responsibility now has four assignments and supervisors. With certain
allowances for variations, area assignments are as follows:
Area 1, Terry McCormick, north of Stockdale and west of Hwy 99,
Area 2; Ed Lazaroti, north of Brundage and east of Hwy 99,
Area 3, Joe E, Gonazales, south of Brundage and east of Gossford to White Lane and east
of Ashe south of White Lane, and
Area 4, Lee Ochoa, south of Stockdale, west of Gossford to White Lane and west of Ashe
South of White Lane.
The opportunity for creating a fourth general assignment area provides greater supervision of field
personnel as well as more time to respond to administrative requests or special assignments.
WAY TO GO JOE!!!
With creation of a fourth general assignment area came a need for a fourth supervisor. We were
fortunate to have three strong finalist from which to make our selection. Joe E. Gonzales accepted
our offer as Park Supervisor 11 for Area 3.
Joe was most recently our Park Technician, responsible for reviewing developmental landscape and
irrigation plans, attending Planning Commission meetings as a departmental representative, and field
inspection of development projects. Although he doesn't look old enough to have started so many
year's ago, Joe began working for the City in 1979 as a Building Maintainer. He progressed with
steps as a Trades Assistant and Crafiworker before becoming the Park Technician.
Joe's family includes wife Patricia, son Joseph, and daughter Ja-Natte. His spare time is limited as
he is a perennial basketball and baseball coach.

ADULT SPORTS
Softball
We are at the halfway point of our first summer session, we have talk to and surveyed the
teams for their comments on the first half', all have indicated the league is going very well.
There are a couple of' concerns,
1. soccer players disrupting play at Dr Martin Luther King park
2. Drinking of' alcohol before and during their game.
Corrective action
1. Park patrol came ~ut and discussed our problem and suggested a move to another park or a
different location in Martin Luther King park. The players choose to stay at the park, but agreed
with our concern and will do their best to keep the ball off the playing field.
2. Staffmet with each team's manager and explain our policy on drinking. We have monitored
each game for the past two weeks. All teams have complied with the policy and have for the most
part stopped all drinking of. alcohol before and during their game.
Tournament
We are planning a mens open division softball tournament, September
15, 16 2001, games will be played at beach and patriots parks.

Summer Game Centers
The summer game centers featured many exciting activities
during the month of July. The featured guest's speaker during the
month was Captain Charles Truivillion of Kern County Fire
Department. Mr. Truivillion visited all five game center sites and
was a big hit with the children. Freddie the Fire Plug and Friends'
materials were given to each child during his visit.
Tournament competitions were held in caroms, frisbee golf and
connect four checkers. Competition was offered for both girl's and
boy's age's eight &under, 9-11 and 12-14 categories. Caroms

around 400 which included both children and parents. The

activities that will be featured at Rockin' By The River Concert
Series.
July 2001 Monthly Report Continues:

hard getting the participants prepared for the talent show. All the
participants seem to really enjoy performing before the crowd.
The crowd really responded to all the hard work and the show
was a competed success.

set-up for group excursions and provides reserve areas similar to
