Home My WebLink About10/11/02 B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM October 11, 2002 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~'{_2~ /~$. SUBJECT: General Information 1. The Laker game at the Garden was a huge success, and they are rebooking for next year. (The food service issues that appeared at the Kings game were substantially improved.) 2. If present trends continue, we will eventually have to put up safety netting above the glass on the two goals ends for the Condors games. Last year in the NHL, after 85 years of operation, a death occurred due to a puck hitting a fan. The NHL has ordered netting, and the ECHL also has (Bakersfield will be in the ECHL next year). The WCHL, our current league, encourages it. We are evaluating systems and costs. If the rules do not change, it will have to be in place a year from now. The fans, of course, will not like it. 3. It did not get much news coverage, but the Allen Road annexation election went the right way, and they will now be a part of the City! Thanks to Pam McCarthy and her staff for their hard work! 4. After their initial review of the Airpark closure, the Urban Development Committee asked staff to try again on the issue of getting tower control from Meadows Field extended over the facility as a safety measure. Other options have not been ruled out permanently, but closure is difficult, so this is to be explored. 5. Per the enclosed memo from Public Works, there have been several inquiries from parties interested in operating the restaurant and leasing hangar space at the Airpark. 6. We have communicated to LAFCO that we are very interested in financially participating in the work to amend the existing City Sphere of Influence. Staff sent the enclosed letter requesting information on how we can be involved in the program. 7. I took a tour of the Padre Hotel this week. Much investment and effort is being made. Though it is in a "torn up" stage at this point, the future looks promising! Work also continues on the Wall Street alley project. Honorable Mayor and City Council October 11, 2002 Page 2 8. Recreation and Parks has indicated that the dedication of Joshua Park will take place on Sunday, November 2nd, at 2:00 p.m. The Rotary Club of Bakersfield-East is making the final arrangements for the dedication and officially turning the park over to the City of Bakersfield. 9. The state has notified us that, unfortunately, our grant application requesting funding for the amphitheater at the 32-acre park was not approved. Their correspondence is attached. 10. A status report from Public Works on the street rehabilitation projects is enclosed. 11. The September activity report for the Recreation and Parks Department is attached for your review. 12. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows: Mayor Hall and Councilmember Benham · Status report on staff's efforts to meet the High Speed Rail Authority deadlines; Councilmember Couch · Plan for working with contractors to encourage them to submit bids for City projects; · Status report on the request from the Bakersfield Rescue Mission kitchen for a CDBG Grant; · Update on the timeline for installation of a traffic signal at Hageman and Patton; · Copies provided for Alternative No. 15 Funding and Phasing Plan chart and key discussion points on the project; Councilmember Salvaggio · Status report on installation of curb and gutters on Monitor Street; · Status report on code enforcement actions regarding blighted homes south of Panama Lane, west of Stine Road, north of Ridgeview High School.

Rojas, Public Works Director 'DATE: October 10, 2002 SUBJECT: AIRPORT ACTIVITY UPDATE We have met with two individuals interested in operating the restaurant at the Airport and are meeting with a third today. No details have been received from any of the parties. These individuals are also working with staff at EDCD. You will be informed as this issue progresses. General Services' staff has been cleaning out the restaurant building from the fire damage. The structural damage appears to be limited and may be repaired with minimal effort. There are two and possibly three individuals interested in ground leases for building hangars at the airport. We are preparing agreements and will be bringing them before the City Council for their approval in the near future. .......... o0o ........... copy: Brad B.

Turpin, Executive Officer Local Agency Formation Commission 2700 M Street, Suite 290 Bakersfield, CA. 93301 File: Sphere of Influence Amendment Dear Mr. Turpin: This letter is in response to your telecom of October 4, 2002 to Marc Gauthier. You informed Marc that LAFCO is in the process of formulating work programs for Sphere of Influence amendments for various cities. Specifically, the inquiry regarded the City of Bakersfield's willingness to participate in the funding for the analysis necessary to amend the existing Sphere of Influence. We are very interested in financially participating in the work necessary to amend the existing City of Bakersfield Sphere of Influence. LAFCO is anticipated to have completed work programs for a few cities in November. At that time LAFCO will be able to estimate the cost of the work necessary to complete the basic public facilities analysis for the City of Bakersfield. There are actively growing areas in the southwest part of the city where public infrastructure is available and housing tracts are under construction at the limits of the current SOl. This situation clearly does not provide for the logical, outward growth of the city but does encourage the formation of multiple service providers in an inefficient manner. Please let us know at your earliest convenience how we participate in the program to amend our existing SOl.

Waste in Place I'nformation on this program has gone out to the schools and presentations are currently being set up. 86-CLEAN A meeting with supervisors and Solid Waste was held to discuss the proposal for this project. The committee is working hard to get this number operating, with a target date of January 1 2003. The goal of this program is to get the public more involved in litter prevention by, identifying areas in need of clean-up and having one phone number where they can call for assistance. Through effective communication, we hope to achieve measurable results in litter reduction by promoting community pride and accountability. We are actively seeking volunteers for this project, we have phone called and or sent fliers to several organizations over the last month. We have been contacting clubs and organizations at both Bakersfield College and Cai State. Litter Index Survey The annual Litter Index Surveys was completed in the month of August. Clean-up projects will focus on some of those areas indicating a litter problem. The survey results are attached. Shade Festival KBB, the city of Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Department, and the Tree Foundation of kern teamed up to present the "Cool in the Shade" event on Sunday, September 22, 2002 at Jastro Park from 6:00 to 6:00 p.m. This celebration featured music by Kris Tiner, children's activities, tree pruning and planting demonstrations, and food.

The scorer has to look hard to see any litter, perhaps a very occasional litter item or two in a city block, or equivalent. Any I litter seen could be quickly collected by one individual. The entire sub-area has a generally "No Litter" neat and rid ap~nce; nothing grabs the e_ye as being littered or messy. Upon careful inspection, a small amount of litter is obvious to scorer. The litter in the 2 sub-area could be collected by one or two individuals in a shod period of time. While the ~L~ttered sub-area has a small amount of litter, the.eye is not continuallygrabbed by litter items. 3 Visible litter can readily be seen throughout the sub-area, likely requiring an organized effort for "Littered" removal. This area is "littered" and clearly needs to be addressed. A continuous amount of litter level is one of the first things noticed about the sub-area. Major 4 illegal dumpsites might be see in the sub-area, requiring equipment and/or extra manpower for "Extremely.__Littered" removal. There is a strong i____mpression of a lack of concern about litter in the sub-area. CITY OF BAKERSFIELD Recreation &Parlcs PARKS DIVISION SEPTEMBER 2002, MONTHLY REPORT GOSFROD MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS With the Gosford Road major paving project complete from Ming Avenue to Stockdale Highway, Park's crews were able to prepare the barren median for landscaping. Staff coordinated planting of 26 trees and installation of approximately 38,000 square feet of Zoysia turf. Other work included a week long task of pruning existing trees to thin and re-shape the tree canopy. Several small medians on the easterly side streets accessing Gosford Road were also renovated by removal of certain plant material and installation of turf. BEACH PARK SOFTBALL FIELD RENNOVATION Resurrection of popularity for adult softball leagues provided impetus for upgrading Beach Park softball field. We began by removing 2 - 3 inches of existing infield soil and replacing with a specialized infield mix called Stabilizer Pro Gold. This product is currently used by many collegiate softball and baseball teams as well as several professional baseball teams. Greater dust control and better recovery time when prepping the infield and a more uniform playing surface are reasons which lead us to use a hybrid product. Other work included aeration of outfield turf and replacement of all irrigation heads. The "brow" area where the infield meets the outfield turf was renovated and re-seeded. An ulterior motive for trying a new infield soil blend was we are aware Mesa Marin softball complex will need significant improvements made to infield playing surfaces. Beach Park will provide us with valuable data prior to making a determination for the type of infield mix to specify for Mesa Matin. SHADE FESTIVAL ..... The week of September 22-28 was acknowledged as Bakersfield's first Shade Festival. Kick off activities began in Jastro Park where approximately 75 people were treated to everything from musical entertainment to information regarding planting, pruning, and general care of trees. Paul Graham of our Urban Forestry section and Colleen Cashmore who coordinates Keep Bakersfield Beautiful activities organized the event. In addition to informational sessions, 5 trees were planted at Roosevelt and Nichols and 16 trees were planted at Sing Lum elementary schools. Finally, a group of volunteers assisted with planting an additional 350 saplings at our tree farm. Similar activities will likely occur this spring during Arbor Day events. NEW MAINTENANCE ACREAGE August data on new acreage was not available by the time our August report was compiled. As such, August data is included within this September report. In August, Parks Division assumed maintenance responsibilities for two parcels totaling 1.2 acres. Approximately 567 shrubs and 88 trees plus groundcover were planted within these two parcels. In September, another 3 parcels totaling 1.5 acres were completed final acceptance standards. Approximately 508 shrubs and 92 trees plus ground cover are contained within these locations. SKATE PARK REPAIRS Beach Park Skate Park was closed for several days in early September for repairs due to vandalism. Removal of painted graffiti on the skating surface was most, but not all of the required work. Both Skate Park Rules signs were scratched or painted to the point text required by state law was illegible. Lastly, the sponsor acknowledgement bench was once again targeted for graffiti painting which has left a white residue. General Service Graffiti Crew was of great assistance in trying to high pressure wash the skating. surface. They experimented with a new type of high pressure washer to try and remove as much of the paint residue as possible. Unfortunately, continued use of high pressure washing to remove graffiti will likely damage the smooth concrete surface and shorten the useful life of the skate park.

ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ~ SUBJECT: ENCOURAGE CONTRACTORS TO SUBMIT BIDS Council Referral #000232 I C°uncilmember C°uch requested staff meet with c°ntract°rs and enc°urage themIto submit bids. As background information, the City's Purchasing Officer maintains a database of contractors that have indicated a desire to construct projects for the City. When a specific construction project is advertised for bids, the Purchasing Officer sends a notice to all of the contractors in their database that have the necessary contractor's license for that project. This notice informs them of the nature of the project, the date on which bids are due and what the contractor needs to do if they are interested in bidding on the project either as a general contractor or as a subcontractor. To be listed in this database, contractors only need to complete a form, which is available both at the office of the City's Purchasing Officer and on the City's web site. In addition to sending out the notice, the Purchasing Officer advertises specific construction project bids in the local newspaper, at the local plan rooms maintained by different contractor groups and on the City's web site. Staff is currently investigating an information internet service that has the potential to greatly enhance distribution of information regarding the City's projects that are out to bid. Staff is also working towards scheduling meetings with contractors to discuss with them why they have not submitted bids on our larger pavement rehabilitation projects. From those discussions, staff hopes to determine if there are elements of our purchasing policies that are keeping those contractors from bidding on our projects. Staff will then also determine if those policies can be modified to encourage more of those contractors to submit bids while still conforming to the local, state and federal laws that govern the City's purchasing procedures. G:\GROUPDAT~Referrals~002\CC Mtg 10-2~232-Amold.doc BAKERSFIELD Economic and Community Development Department MEMORANDUM October 10, 2002 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: George Gonzales,~,oV~mmunity Development Coordinator SUBJECT: BAKERSFIELD RESCUE MISSION KITCHEN Council Referral No. Ref000237 Councilmember Couch requested staff provide a status and opinion and/or recommendations of a CDBG Grant for rehabilitation of the Bakersfield Rescue Mission kitchen. During the 2002-2003 CDBG funding period, the Bakersfield Rescue Mission (BRM) submitted a request for CDBG funds to construct a 2,400 square foot commercial kitchen addition at their facility located at 830 Beale Avenue. The total construction cost of the proposed addition was $706,000. BRM was asking the City to contribute $272,000 of that cost and the County of Kern Community Development CDBG program to help with $409,000, with the Mission providing $25,000. An issue that impacted BRM's application was that their by-laws identified them as a religious entity. HUD regulations prohibit the use of block grants funds to assist a primarily religious organization. During that time, Community Development staff did make recommendations that the Rescue Mission could make in order to comply with the HUD rules. BRM was very receptive to the recommendations made by staff and indicated that they would pursue those adjustments to their by-laws. Nevertheless, the County did not allocate BRM CDBG funds for FY 02/03 nor did the City. The deadline for the submission for FY 03104 CDBG program is October 31, 2002. We understand that the Rescue Mission will be submitting another joint City/County CDBG application for their project. The proposed kitchen expansion to provide meals to the homeless population is an eligible public facilities activity and as long as the BRM amends their by-laws to be consistent with the HUD rules their proposal would be a very competitive project for CDBG assistance.

ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ~ SUBJECT: CURB AND GUTTER ON FAIRVIEW ROAD Council Referral #000233 Councilmember Salvaggio referred a call from Elaine Gentry and Paula School and requested staff look into and report back regarding curb and gutters on 2-3 homes on Monitor Street (1100 or 1200 Block). Donna Kunz to look into block grant eligibility. Public Works staff have been working with the subject property owners along Fairview Road for several months regarding the installation of street improvements alon~j their frontages. There are three properties fronting Fairview that do not have curb, gutter or sidewalk and which require additional street dedication for the improvements to be constructed. As these are the last remaining properties in the area without ultimate street improvements, as all three properties have existing residences, and as there is a high volume of pedestrian traffic due to the nearby school, the offer was made that curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement tie-in would be completed by the City upon dedication of the ultimate street right-of-way (The properties need to dedicate an additional 15 feet to provide the proper right-of-way width.). All three property owners were offered this same proposal. Mr. Noe B. Avalos at 1109 Fairview Road (southeast corner Osborne Street and Fairview Road, or the eastern property) and Mr. James M. Gaines at 1217 Fairview Road (the western property) agreed with this proposal and have signed a letter of intent. Public Works staff has designed and prepared plans for these street improvements, and is preparing the legal descriptions and necessary documentation to proceed with the right-of-way dedication and the construction of the improvements. Construction will be by the Streets Division and should begin late this year. The property owner at 1201 Fairview Road (the middle property owned by the Halford Family Trust) responded that they did not wish to dedicate the necessary right-of-way and participate in the street improvement project. This property has several large trees within the necessary right-of-way area that would need to be removed for the improvements, and also has an office building just outside the necessary right-of-way area which would be very close to the edge of the new road. Regarding Block Grant Eligibility, Community Development reports that according to the current 1990 Census Data, the area of Fairview Road between South H Street and Monitor Road is not eligible for CDBG funds. This information shows that the area has 24.57% of the population within the Iow income range. The Census Bureau has indicated that the 2000 income data census information will released in March-April 2003 c: Jacques R.

On October 9, 2002, a notice of violation was mailed to the property owner for overgrown weeds, trash, debris and to reboard the houses as needed. There are not sufficient structural defects to order them demolished as violations of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings. The property will be monitored for compliance.
