: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMB~RS ~-
FROM: JACK HARDISTY, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: "TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FEE" REPORT
OF GOVERNMENTS
Kern Council of Government has completed a comprehensive systems
planning approach for the development of transportation impact fees
for the Metropolitan Bakersfield area.
This study focuses on those capital improvements needed to support
the traffic generated by new growth and development in the
Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan area. The study was
prepared by the engineering firm Omni-Means, Ltd. to provide the
legal "nexus" for ~he implementation of a traffic impact fee
ordinance and includes several alternatives and recommendations.
The purpose of %his study was to provide a fair and equitable
distribution of the cost associated with providing the street
improvements necessa'~y to provide a level of service "c". It should
be noted that level of service "c" is the traffic goal adopted in
the Circulation Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010
General Plan.
City and County staff are of the opinion that the report has basic
value in its analysis but that it should be expanded to take into
consideration other ~actors.
City and County staff will be working with a Technical Advisory
Committee will utilize this report as a starting point in the
development of'an areawide transportation impact fee ordinance.
The Technical Advisory Committee should include representatives of
~he Building Industry Association, Board of Realtors, American
institute of Architects, Chamber of Commerce, Kern COG, Builders
Exchange and the California Council of Civil Engineers and Land
Surveyors.
The purpose of the TAC is to review this report during the course
of several meetings and bring a recommendation be!ore the City
?!arming Commission, Kern Co%unty Board of Supervisors and your
Council in June of this year.
The result of this program will .be the determination of an
equitable fee for the Metropolitan Bakersfield area which mitigates
the traffic impacts resulting from development. Such a fee is
consistent with the "Plan for Growth" strategy and would act to
implement policies contained in the Metropolitan Bakers~ield'2010
General Plan.

Dear Mr. Schultz: "
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD SANITARY LANDFILL
The time frame is getting short for taking care of regulatory and closure requirements
for the subject landfill. The Solid Waste Assessment Test (SWAT) is the. first of these
requirements and is due July 1, 1991. However, in a letter to the City Community
Services Manager, Paul Dow, dated December 19, 1990, the Regional Water Quality
Control Board agreed not to initiate enforcement action unless the report is not
received until August 21, 1992. Since the SWAT report must include a full year of
sampling, results, work must commence soon.
In an effort to expedite progress and in the spirit of cooperation, the County Public
Works Department proposes that costs for the SWAT report be split on a 50/50 basis
between the County and City. This arrangement would also apply to subsequent
assessment and closure activities..However, the City would remain solely responsible
for control of gas migration and any assessment or remediation necessary due
specifically to the burning dump on the landfill site.
It is my understanding from discussion between yourself and my staff that you Will
approach the Bakersfield City Council for preliminary approval for this proposal.
Should the City Council approve this approach, we would have to take the same
approach with the Board of Supervisors to attain preliminary approval and receive
direction to prepare an agreement. Details, such as which agency would take lead of
the administration and compensation adjustment for that work and responsibility,
could be addressed during preparation of the agreement.
Mr. Ed Schultz, Director
