3. PUBLIC STATEMENTS
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion and Committee recommendation to prioritize agenda items for
future Joint City Council/Board of Supervisors meeting
a. City assumption of County parks within City incorporated area (City Item)
City Manager Tandy provided an overview of the information included in the
Committee packet. Currently, the County spends about $65,000 annually in
maintenance costs for Casa Loma Park. As the City's mowing and tree
trimming schedule is more often, the City's costs would be about $80,000
annually.
Casa Loma Park is in need of major repairs with an estimated cost of
$356,000. In addition, the County has budgeted $150,000 in CDBG funds to
demolish the basketball court due to its poor condition and rebuild it closer to
Casa Loma Road.
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 2
· Recreation and Parks Director Hoover explained that some of the repairs,
besides the basketball court, need to be done right away. There is also a
need for sidewalks.
City Manager Tandy explained maintenance for the older parks is paid from
the General Fund. If the City were to contemplate taking over a park, staff
would prefer to negotiate with the County so the revenue for maintenance
the County is spending annually be continued and also that the County cover
half of the one-time costs of the needed repairs. Maintenance costs
increase with inflation each year and the City would be assuming .the
increases in future years.
Committee Chair Carson expressed she would like to place this on the Joint
City/County agenda to explore if the County would be interested in the City
taking over Casa Loma Park. Although the park is bounded on two sides by
the County, many City residents use the park and there is a pressing need to
get the park facilities in good repair. She felt this would be an opportunity for
the City to take over a park in a growing area that is deficient in parks.
b. Roadway jurisdictional transfer attendant to City annexations (County
Item)
This is a County item. When the City annexes an area with no potential for
commercial to bring in funding for road repair, the City no longer includes the
entire road if it is not in good condition, for example, some roadways have
old metal culverts or poor surfaces and need costly repairs.
c. Report on Metropolitan Bakersfield solid waste transfer station siting
(Joint Item)
Staff suggested if the agenda is too long, this item could be deferred to the
next Joint meeting.
d. South Beltway Alignment (Joint Item)
e. Transportation Equity Act - Federal Highway Funding Update (City)
f. Fire Service Joint Powers Agreement modifications (Joint Item)
g. Fireworks regulations review (City Item)
h. Western Rosedale Specific Plan update (County Item)
i. Proposed 2006 schedule for joint meetings - Monday, February 27th at
5:30 p.m. and Monday, September 18th, at 5:30 {Joint Item)
J. Other Committee recommended items
