The Govemor's revised budget, if adopted, would take $714,000 in booking fee reimbursements and $138,000 in redevelopment monies from us. Of the $714,000, $500,000 is designated for the County Airport; but we have a contractual obligation even if the revenue source is lost. We will prepare a contingency plan as a part of budget consideration. With the legislature still to act, it could stay the same, get better, or worse. 2. I will be off Wednesday, May 22nd, Alan Christensen will handle all aspects of the Council meeting that date, including pre-meeting calls and filling in for me at the meeting. 3. Many of you got calls expressing concem, but the "Foam Party" at the Convention Center was not a problem at all. 4. The Mayor's Selection Committee did a draw from a hat, and we are slated to get a- LAFCO seat in 2016. Other cities that have no significant business with LAFCO will fill the 30 years between our terms. We also can get an altemate seat in 2042. The cities did, however, support the legislative change to give us a permanent seat. Many editorial comments are appropriate, but suffice it to say that things could be much better. 5. Our Service Awards are out of date and a bit weak - the same award for five and ten years, for example. As part of our Employee Appreciation effort, we will spruce that up. 6. Thanks are due to the Employee Incentive Committee for the excellent work on Friday morning's Employee Appreciation Breakfast. 7. A memo regarding the status of the Bakersfield Senior Center Acquisition and Relocation Project is attached. 8. Bakersfield's median home prices during the first quarter of 2002 increased 8.8% from same quarter last year, based upon a report from the California Association of HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MaY 17, 2002 PAGE 2 Realtors released Monday. Bakersfield's median home pdce was $105,500 for the first quarter of 2002, compared to $97,000 in the first quarter of 2001. Kern County's median home pdce in the first quarter of 2002 was $95,500, compared to $87,000 for the same quarter last year, a 9.8% increase. 9. At the Budget and Finance Committee meeting, the Art Museum was recommended for $25,000, the Symphony to go up from $46,000 to $50,000 rent offset, and the Gleaners to come back in the next block grant cycle. The settlement of the business tax was delayed by language issues and the Board of Realtors apparently wanting their entire profession to be exempt. A subcommittee will work on it. 10. The Mongolian delegation is returning next week. Although their work schedule is heavy, we are gong to get them to a Blitz game on Saturday. '11. A memo from Public Works is provided which lists work the Street Division has done during the past few weeks. 12. An update on AB 939, which relates to solid waste recycling, is enclosed. 13. A report from Keep Bakersfield Beautiful regarding the 2002 Great Amedcan Clean- up is attached. 14.

'- --~ ~ r! Economic an0 Community Development Department .............. MEMORANDUM May 10, 2002 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ,~~ FROM: Donna L. Kunz, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Status of the Bakersfield Senior Center (BSC) Acquisition and Relocation Project The purpose of the project was to acquire property, relocate residents and clear the property above 5th Street, so that the BSC could shift the proposed senior housing project to the north. The City on May 9th made purch'ase offers to the three property owners. The next step would be to conclude acquisition agreements with all the property owners. As explained below, the effective date that the City could begin their work on the project was March 12, 2002. If we can come to agreement with all of the property owners, we anticipate being able to relocate the tenants and to clear the land by November 15, 2002. The City could not become involved with the BSC project until two agreements were in place. The first agreement was between the City and the BSC. This agreement was drafted by the City and provided to BSC for review. It described the responsibilities of each party and authorized the City to spend $495,000 of HOME funds for acquisition and relocation. The agreement stipulated that within 30 days of the agreement approval that BSC had to obtain a MOU before the City could proceed. The second agreement was a MOU between the BSC and Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF). The MOU agreement was needed between BSC and RHF for the purpose of agreeing to develop a new Section 202 entity for owning and operating the senior housing project. Without this entity the 202 funds cannot be disbursed and the project will not go forward. As a means to safe guard the City's HOME funds and minimize risk of default, the CHDO agreement stipulated the project would not enter into escrow or negotiations with owners until this was accomplished per Section 2.5 of the agreement. There was about a 2.5 month delay in getting the MOU executed by both parties and this affected the overall CHDO project timeline. Attached is a timeline to help understand when various tasks were performed. dlk:S:\HOMEProjects\Bak.

The issue is how to measure the amount of waste from City and County sources collected in the same refuse truck. The City estimate is based on actual City truck tonnage compared to the amount of contract hauling (extrapolation). The County estimate divides the total tonnage between City and County, based on the assumption that waste generation patterns are the same in both jurisdictions (interpolation). The difference can affect the City's recycling percentage by about five percent. CIWMB staff agrees with the City's method of estimation, but feels that the conflict should be resolved locally before the report is placed on the CIWMB approval agenda. Staff has been meeting with the County frequently for several months to do so. Correction of the City's data has reduced the difference, but a significant difference still remains. Additional time is needed to correct newly-discovered errors in County data. Although correction of the County's data will further reduce the difference, we anticipate that some difference will remain. This is because the County's waste was heavier than the City's in 1999 and 2000, due to the lack of greenwaste separation, mandatory collection, and other program features. The City method accounts for this, and the County method does not. However, since the City had some errors in its data, it may be necessary to "split the difference" even though the City's method is more accurate. In addition to the AB 939 issue, the City's extrapolation method is used in two City/County agreements. One provides the City about $700,000 in annual disposal fee savings, and the other more than $600,000 in cost recovery for the County's share of greenwaste facility costs. The next staff working meeting is scheduled for May 17th. Th~ Ad Hoc Committee of the County's Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee, which Council member Maggard is part of, will meet on May 31st. KB G:\GROUPDAT~SOLIDWASTE~2002~939 update 5-16-02.wpd May 17, 2002 · 4101 Truxtun Ave. · Bakersfield CA 93309 Keep Bakersfield Beautiful 2002 Great American ,Clean-up Report The Grem American Clean-up 2002 Event Summary On April 27, 2002 nearly 500 volunteers from the city of Bakersfield joined together for the city's first annual Great American Clean-up. The volunteers made a difference by cleaning up nearly 10,000 pounds of trash in local neighborhoods, streets, parks, and other public lands. Volunteer turn out at the event was tremendous, leading to a huge impact in the beautification of our city. The Great American Clean-up was planned and implemented by a committee of volunteers appointed by city council. These volunteers worked in collaboration with the city of Bakersfield Recreation and Parks to make the event a fun and inviting family activity so all citizens, young and old, could get involved. The event was also made possible by the generous sponsor contributions. The sponsors and their contributions to the event are detailed in sponsors section of this report. Twenty "hot spots" in almost every area of the city were cleaned. The locations of the hot spots were chosen based on suggestions from city council and the committee members. Certain sections of the local freeways were also cleaned for the enjoyment of all of Bakersfield's citizens. SPONSORS The Great American Clean-up had a total of nine sponsors who donated monetary contributions and/or goods and services. These sponsors included Moxley International, Black and Sterling Management, Target, Jim Burke Ford, Too Fat Sandwiches, Little Caesars, Frito Lay, Bakersfield Blaze and Pepsi. Only through their support was this beautification event possible. The willingness of these businesses to get involved in activities like our event demonstrates their dedication to our community. We hope that the community will continue to support businesses like these. This event also would not have been possible without the help from the city's Solid Waste Division. EVENT ACTIVITIES A~ter the clean-up, volunteers were invited back to Yokuts park for a fi'ee lunch provided by Too Fat Sandwiches, Little Caesars Pizza, Frito Lay and Pepsi. While they ate their lunch they enjoyed the music of a band who also donated their time and talent, Greasy Kid Stuff. Kern County 4-H provided a bubble booth, the city's Anti-Graffiti program demonstrated equipment and provided information and several other children's game booths were staffed by volunteers. These event activities were designed to show the City's appreciation to the volunteers for their hard work. VOLUNTEERS The volunteers for this event were comprised of seventeen main groups. Each of these groups demonstrated community pride through their involvement. GAC Volunteers by Group COMMITTEE MEMBERS The Great American Clean-up is only one of the various community improvement projects the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee has embarked on. The committee was certified as an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful in October of this year and has since made a huge impact in the city of Bakersfield. Some additional projects they have worked on, in addition to the Great American Clean-up, include a Litter Index Survey, School Tree Plantings, Adopting a Highway (Tmxtun Extension), and several others. This committee is a hardworking group of individuals dedicated to the further beautification of Bakersfield. Committee Members: Cathi Guererro Dana Karcher John Enriquez Keith Stoller Kevin Burton Kimberly Ceaser Mike Ming HOT SPOTS The clean-up portion of our event targeted several "hot spot" areas around Bakersfield that were suggested by City Council, KBB Committee Members, and code enforcement. The following areas were targeted and cleaned to the best of the volunteers' abilities. 1. 178 & Oak 2. Bike Path from Oak to Coffee 3. N. Yokuts off Gibson 4. Montgomery Ward Center 30th & F 5.

Stockdale and Coffee BAK- BAKERSFIELD OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM May 10, 2002 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: John W. Stinso~A~ssistant City Manager Subject: ~/~ Cent Sales Tax Information There was a Y2 cent sales tax election 'for roads in Kern County in 1989. The measure failed by only 277 votes countywide. I have attached the information from County elections. According to information from Kerncog the measure passed in metro Bakersfield but lost in eastern Kern County. Regarding your question as to how much would be generated by a 1~ cent sales tax, county-wide based on current countywide sales tax revenues it would generate about $40 million annually. The following additional information is from the Kerncog report Road to Ruin: "a countywide sales tax increase appears to generate the most revenue with the least turmoil for taxpayers. A sales tax requires two-thirds voter approval. Kern COG estimates that a countywide half-cent sales tax would generate $931.6 million over a 20-year period. In contrast, a quarter-cent tax would generate $465.8 million and a one-cent tax $1.8 billion over the same time period. One potential option for a less-than-countywide sales tax would be to target the metro Bakersfield °area only. Such a tax, at the rate of a half-cent over 20 years, is projected to net $619.5 million. Assuming the same time period, a quarter-cent tax would provide $309.7 million and, a full cent, $1.2 billion. Special legislation could theoretically provide for multiple transportation districts within the same county. Using specific boundaries, voters in areas as geographically disparate as the San Joaquin Air Basin and the Mojave Air Basin may be able to approve a sales tax increase as separate transportation districts with separate boards. Were a 20-year sales tax to pass in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, the revenue stream would produce $810.5 million on a half-cent tax; $405.3 million on a quarter-cent tax; and $1.6 billion on a full cent. The same criteria in the Mojave Air Basin would generate $121.1 million from a half-cent tax, $60.6 million on a quarter cent and $242.2 million on a full cent sales tax."

On April 15, 2002 Mr. Michael Kern, who resides at 6800 Redwing Court, contacted the Street Division, by e-mail, and requested information in regards to street resurfacing within his area (Quailwood). Luis Peralez, Street Superintendent, e-mailed a response to Mr. Kern on April 23, 2002. After getting a Council Referral, Mr. Peralez realized that Mr. Kern had not received the first reply and re-sent the attached response to Mr. Kern again on May 10, 2002.contacted him by e-mail again on May 10, 2002. In addition, a message was left on Mr. Kern's voice-mail (324-7500) to contact Mr. Peralez at 326-3108, if he had any further questions. G:\GROUPDATxReferrals\2002\CC Mt§ 5-S\000083-Streets.wpd / Streets Quailwood / S~eet Resurfacing From: Streets To: "quantum@lightspeed.net".inet. ClTYDOM Date: 5/10/02 2:08PM Subject: Re: Fwd: Road Conditions Dear Kern; Some streets east of El Rio, off Quailwood Drive, were resurfaced in 1993/94. Redwing Court was . resurfaced in 1995. I could not find any records of when Redwing Avenue from Quailwood to Saddleback Drive and SaddleBack Drive from Redwing Avenue to Peasant were last resurfaced. I have seen the condition of these two streets and my guess is that it has been over 15 years since they were last resurfaced. Redwing Avenue and Saddleback Drive are beyond resurfacing, tt,ey have to be reconstructed. These two streets are on our 02/03 Street Reconstruction List. The target date that we had set for reconstructing these two streets and resurfacing other'St~eets in your area was approximately November 2002.
