CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
January 11,2002
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
1. The law passed last year which imposes prevailing wages on redevelopment
incentives is going to hurt our redevelopment efforts. It increases costs more than the
incentive levels we have historically provided.
The practical meaning of that is, for both Housing and Community Development
monies, as well as tax increment, public facilities are now the more logical
place to spend money. Give backs to developers, land assembly, etc. are no
longer incentives, as they trigger prevailing wage. Bringing the public facilities
and infrastructure up to quality therefore becomes the best way to spur
redevelopment.
2. We are doing staff level work on the potential uses of Proposition 12 monies - an
aquatic facility, ice rink, and other park improvements are possibilities. The Prop. 12
issue has been referred to the Community Services Committee. Although we have
not regularly emphasized it, you may recall that we need more modern aquatic
facilities and some of our older pools need to be rehabilitated.
3. We are starting work at staff level on the budget. In accordance with past practice,
block grant recommendations will go to the Budget and Finance Committee. Federal
advertising requirements cause that piece to go first.
Regarding the general budget, the local economy remains strong, but State level
concerns must be watched carefully.
4. The date for the next City / County joint meeting has been set for Monday, March 18th
at 5:30 p.m.. As it is the City's turn to host, the meeting will be held in the Council
Chambers.
5. Per the enclosed memo from Development Services, there is substantial progress in
support of the recently approved General Plan adoption of a policy that promotes
open space in the northeast. It is very positive to have a number of diverse interest
groups come together in support of that effort!
Honorable Mayor and City Council

6. The enclosed annexation status report, prepared by Development Services, indicates
that uninhabited annexations are going well.
7. The Special Enforcement Gang Violence Report for year end 2001 is enclosed. The
very positive numbers reflect a 46% decrease in gang related shootings over 2000,
and 67.4% over the past two years. Congratulations to Chief Matlock and his staff
for their efforts!
8. The annual department head retreat will take place January 31st and February 1st in
Oxnard.
9. An update on the Food 4 Less project: the developer is submitting corrected plans
on January 22nd. His bid date is February 15th, and the award is to be in 7-10 days
after the bid opening. The ground breaking will be the third week in February, and
physical construction will begin the end of February or early March.
10. The monthly activity report for December from Recreation and Parks is attached.
11. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows:
Councilmember Carson
· Update on status of Lakeview area sub-station;
· Update on the California Avenue Senior Housing project.
Councilmember Couch
· Tentative Schedule of the General Plan Update.

FROM: JACK HARDISTY, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRE
SUBJECT: FUNDING FOR N.E. OPEN SPACE
As you know, there has been some pressure to preserve the open space around the
bluffs in the northeast. There have been several meetings of interest group
representatives to discuss how that might be done while addressing their goals. We
believe that is possible and with all their support general plan policies were adopted to
support that effort.
This morning at a Habitat Conservation trustee meeting support for funding to preserve
endangered plants and animals was received from the Kern River Parkway, Building
Industry Association, property owners and staff. Somewhat guarded support was also
offered by the Sierra Club and Audubon Society. Representatives of the State and
Federal wildlife agencies were also supportive of the idea.
We voted to earmark $4,000,000 for habitat preservation in the bluff area of northeast
Bakersfield.

Honorable Mayor Hall and Council Members
From: Eric W. Matlock, Chief of Po!ic
Subject: . Special Enforcement Gang Violence Report
I am pleased to present the Year End special Enforcement Unit Report on gang
violence which I think you will find quite impressive. The unit handled 29 gang related
shootings in the City during 2001 compared to 54 for calendar year 2000 which reflects
a 46% decrease. More impressive is that over the past two years, gang related
shootings have decreased by 67.4%.
The community deserves a great deal of credit for helping redUce gang violence by
actively participating in the department's prevention and intervention efforts. Police
staff will continue to make gang violence a priority and work with thepublic in an effort
to keep our community safe.

PARKS DIVISION
DECEMBER 2001, MONTHLY REPORT
MORE MEDIAN WORK
Irrigation system installation work commenced on the portion of Union Avenue from Niles Street
north to Bernard/34th Street. The project is approximately one half mile in length. While
undertaking demolition tasks, Street's Division found old road material under the median and first
had to remove the "they don't make it like this anymore" material, then rebuild the entire median
curb system, o
Hardscaping will be installed over the next several weeks. Once all the tree wells are created,
landscaping portion of the project will begin.. The project should be completed by end of January,
or first of February, 2002.
URBAN FORESTRY
CPI Development's (Ralph's at California and Stockdale) latest expansion project required removal
of 30 trees. Rather than simply destroying the trees, a collaborative effort between CPI and Parks
Tree Section resulted in saving all 30 trees for future planting opportunities.
Continuing with our program of offering to plant trees at various school sites, staff assisted in
planting a total of 15 trees between Quailwood and Hart elementary schools. This brings to a total
of over 140 trees planted at 13 school locations since initiating this portion of the Keep Bakersfield
Beautiful program in October of 2001.
Work continues with the Metropolitan Tree Advisory Ad Hoc Committee regarding refinements of
Street Tree Ordinance, Chapter 12.40. Internal development of a database system for service
requests in conjunction with assistance from M.I.S. division remains on track. Anticipate a test
program completion time line of March 2002.
Last but not least, Recreation and Parks was just notified our application for Tree City USA and
recognition for Growth Award will be forthcoming through recommendation of California
Department of Forestry. Official notice is expected in March, 2002.
~ENTENNIAL LANDSCAPING
Over thc last few year's, several trees were either lost or damaged at Centennial Garden and
Convention Center's main parking lot. Area supervisor, Ed Lazaroti, supervised re-planting of 29
trees within the same locations. In certain instances, tree species was changed out in order to offer
a larger shade canopy as trees mature.
A THIRD FIRST NIGHT
Terry McCormick, Park Supervisor and designer extra ordinaire, lead several Park's Division
personnel in creating elements for First Night 2001. Efforts included designing and construction or
installation of 19th Street main entrance lighting, Resolution Wall and Aids Foundation Luminaria.
Resolution Wall was a particularly well received as event attendees were provided an opportunity
to scribe their new years's resolutions upon 6 double sided canvas framed panels.
We also assisted by transporting tables and chairs, the loan of giant sized puppets, transporting and
set-up of our portable stage and of course helping clean up following the event. Special kudos to
those individuals who gave up their own holiday to work the event until 3:30 am New Year's
morning.
CHRISTMAS PARADE
Saturday evening December 8, found several thousand children and adults huddled together to watch
the annual Christmas Parade. Recreation and Parks staff are very proud to have participated by
entering a float for this year's Angel's of Christmas theme. Twenty-one persons comprised of staff
members, family and volunteers rode upon the float. We are also very proud for receiving the first
place trophy in the "Special Volunteers" entries for the fifth consecutive year.
