ANDERSEN, COMMUNITY SERVICES M~AGER~ SUBJECT: TREE FOUNDATION - KERN RIVER PLANTING PROJECT (Council Referral No. 13753) At the August 24, 1994, Council meeting Rick Hewett, representing the Tree Foundation, spoke and submitted a request asking the City Council to direct staff to supervise the tree planting project. In addition Councilmember Rowles requested that this item be reviewed by the Urban Development Committee who will then report back to Council. On September 20, 1994, City staff met with representatives from the Tree Foundation and the Kern River Foundation to discuss this issue. During the course of the meeting discussion centered around the development of plans and specifications for the installation of irrigation'as well as the'planting of materials. A time frame was established that would help facilitate this plan. Plans are to be prepared and submitted to Parks Division for review during the week of September 26. Upon approval of plans, the Tree Foundation will solicit bids. It is anticipated that the bid process and installation of irrigation will be completed by the end of November, with planting to be completed by the first week of December. The Tree Foundation requested the removal of some non-native trees. A walk-through with City staff will be coordinated by the Foundation to determine which ones may be removed. All funding for construction and installation of irrigation and planting of trees will be funded by Texaco~ The Tree Foundation will be coordinating volunteers to oversee the actual installation and planting of trees in early December. In order to meet the schedule it will be necessary to place this on a fast track. The Urban Development Committee will review this issue on October 5th and submit a recommendation to full Council at the earliest possible date. On going, long term, maintenance was also discussed. Typically, maintenance will be absorbed within the Parks and Water Divisions. Because of increased responsibilities, additional funding will be necessary beginning in FY 1995-96. Mr. Alan~Tandy September 20, 1994 Page Two In summarY, this project appears to be well coordinated and is the type of development outlined in the Kern River Parkway Master Plan for this area.

REC'D & PLACED ON FILE AT COUNCIL MEETING OF KERN !~I VI,:R -- ADMINIST T1VE REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVED FROM: Raul M. Rojas, OEP~TM~~~ Public Works Director C~TY A~rORN~ N/A DATE: September 16, 1994 '~' CITY MANAGER ~ SUBJECT: Posted Street Sweeping Program report from the Public Works Department, dated July 1994. (Response to Council Referral Record #13515) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends to refer the matter to the Urban Development Committee for review and recommendation. BACKGROUND: The attached report presents four options to be considered regarding a posted street sweeping program. These include: 1) Limited Expansion of the Current Pilot Program; 2) Full City Wide Posted Program; 3) Ten-Year City Wide Posted Program; 4) Non-Posted Voluntary Compliance Program. 1. Limited Expansion of the Current Pilot Program This option explores two possible schedules in expanding our current pilot program. A Two-Week Schedule would be the most desirable, but also the most expensive. Additional sweeper operators would have to be employed after posting 50 miles of streets and after every 110 mile increment thereafter. For enforcement, police service technicians would have to be hired after posting every 55 mile increment of streets. A Once Per Month Schedule, while not as effective as the previous schedule, it would double the posted street miles prior to employing additional personnel. Equipment costs for employees and signing expenses would remain the same with either schedule. Our current 1994-95 budget has approximately $6,000 for a limited expansion of our current pilot program. This would provide funding to sign up to one mile of street. Page I of 3 16, 1994, 2:04pm ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Honorable Mayor and City Council Meeting Date: September 28, 1994 Consent Calendar 2. Full City Wide Posted Program Again, this program also looks at two possible schedules. A Two-Week Schedule would require the employment of 4 additional operators and 5 additional police service technicians along with their related equipment. Over 47,000 signs would be required City wide. Initial implementation cost would be approximately $4,650,000.00 with subsequent annual maintenance costs of approximately $846,000.00. A Once Per Month Schedule would reduce costs somewhat. Implementation would cost approximately $4,100,000.00 and subsequent annual maintenance would be approximately $508,000.00. A major portion of these costs would be signing which would be the same with either schedule. 3. Ten-Year City Wide 'Posted Program For this program we looked at both a two-week schedule and once per month schedule over a 10-year period of adding approximately 53 miles of posted streets each year. On a Two-Week Schedule we would need to add an additional sweeper operator on our 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th years. Additional police service technicians would be required on years 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Once fully implemented, the additional annual maintenance of this program would be approximately $846,000.00. The Once Per Month Schedule would require an additional sweeper operator on the 3rd and 7th years of the program. Additional police service technicians would be needed on the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th years. Upon full implementation, the additional annual cost of this program would be approximately $508,000.00. 4. Non-Posted Voluntary Compliance Program The key to this program would be a public information notice published each week in the local newspaper. A program of this nature would be very popular with most City residents and would not lock us into a rigid schedule. This would be a major advantage in flexibility when dealing with varying budgets. Page 2 of 3 , 16, 1994, 2:04pm ADMINISTRATWE REPORT Honorable Mayor and City Council Meeting Date: September 25, 1994 Consent Calendar Conc/us/on Based on some of my past experiences in the previous cities, posted street sweeping throughout the city is very costly and difficult to maintain because of equipment failures, manpower requirements and very little flexibility in scheduling. The posting requirements are such that it requires signs to be put up throughout the city; consequently, the citizens disapprove the posting of signs in front of their residences. In addition, the requirement to have the parking enforcement follow the sweepers around throughout the City is the only way to enforce it. Once parking restrictions are enforced, there is quite a bit of resistance from the residents because they get a ticket for being parked out there for just a few minutes, or maybe their vehicle is temporarily disabled i.e, battery dead; but whatever the reason, they get cited. in conclusion, it is our recommendation that consideration be given to option 4, which is a Non-Voluntary Compliance Program and option 1, Limited Expansion of the Current Proeram. which is budgeted at $6,000. We could also take a look at the high non-compliance areas, such as areas where we have apartment buildings, where there are quite a bit of vehicles that are parked out into the street. SE28PW3.CC .~, Page 3 of 3 September 16, 1994, 2:09pm CITY OF BAKERSFIELD EXPANSION, OPTIONS AND COST ANALysIs POSTED STREET SWEEPING PROGRAM COUNCIL REFERRAL RECORD % 13515 PREPARED BY: MARK LEAL STREET SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT JULY, 1994 HISTORY Currently, in the City of Bakersfield, there are 671 miles of streets. Based on our 1993-94 Street Cleaning Analysis (Attachment 'A'), there are 529 residential street miles swept by our 6 daytime operators. With the exception of the 2 miles in our posted areas, the average sweeping frequency is once every 15 working days. There are two additional operators on our night shift who sweep many of our arterial and commercial routes. The sweeping frequency on these routes will vary from approximately once every 15 working day on the arterials to twice a week on some of the commercial routes. Our pilOt program for posted sweeping.in designated areas has been in implementation since November of 1991. Two areas comprising 2.2 street miles have continued permanently with .this program: 1. The apartment complex bordered by Marsha Street, Belle Terrace, New Stine and Montclair Street. (1.4 miles Ward 5). 2. The apartment and commercial complex consisting of Noel Place, Dana Street north of University Avenue and Bishop Drive (.8 miles Ward 3). The program seems to be working well with an established schedule of sweeping every 2 weeks, on the first and third Tuesday of each month. 'As the program now exists, there are virtually no complaints from residents in either of these neighborhoods. We may consider several different options in the expansion of our Posted Street Sweeping Program. These include: 1. Limited phased expansion of the current p~lot program. 2. Full city wide posted program. 3. Ten year phased city wide program. 4. Non-posted voluntary compliance program. For simplicity, all discourse in this reDort will assume a no growth scenario of maintaining a constant 529 residential street miles. The following is a concise look into each of these plans. 1. %IMITED EXPANSION OF T~ CUR~WNT_ PILOT PROGRAM As in our current regular sweeping program, a three week schedule would be ideal. However, such a program would be virtually impossible to sign without confusion. Consequently, for future expansion, we should consider either continuing the two week program or changing to a once per month schedule. 2 ~ sc~Dur.~ Increas£ng out posted program on a 2 week schedule would be the most desirable to the public but obviously, almost twice as expensive as a once per month schedule. There are, however, factors that reduce costs on a 2 .week schedule. Often, fewer passes may be required to clean a given area. Also, if there is less debris to clean, there will be less wear and tear on the equipment. Probably, the most important factor is that our streets will be cleaner for a longer period of time. Using this 2 week schedule, we have estimated that we would need to employ our first additional Motor Sweeper Operator after posting.50 miles of streets. Thereafter, an. additicnal operator would be required after approximately every 110 miles of posted streets. The first Police Service Technician would also be required after the first 50 miles of posted streets. An additional technician would be' require~ after each additional 55 miles of posted streets. In addition to these costs, a motor sweeping machine would have to be purchased for each operator. Also, our current policy is to provide a 50% back up of sweeping machines. Therefore, a back up machine would be required for every 2 operators. This is a Very important requirement in meeting a rigid schedule since sweeping machines are typically a high maintenance item. Each Police Service Technician would also require the purchase of a parking control vehicle. Finally, every mile of posted streets will require 90 signs. Attachment 'B' .illustrates cost'of salaries, overhead, equipment and signs. ONCE PER MONTH SCHEDULE The most cost effective program would be to lengthen the sweeping frequency to once per month. Even though the actual street cleaning efficiency may not be as good as a 2 week schedule, many areas that are currently not swept at all, due to parked vehicles, would now get service. It is our experience in discussion with the public, that many people would prefer a schedule. Under this proposal, the first MotOr Sweeper Operator would be employed after posting approximately 120 miles of streets and subsequent operators would be needed after every additional 240 miles of posted streets. The first Police Service Technician would be needed after posting 120 miles of streets and subsequent technicians would be required after each additional 120 miles. With either schedule, the most efficient operation would be to expand into adjacent or nearby neighborhoods. This would reduce travel time, maintain continuity, and minimize scheduling problems. The most effective method of expansion would be to target neighborhoods identified by Resolution No. 206-91 (Attachment 'C'). However, if any of the parameters are changed, such as sweeping days, hours or streets, a new resolution would be required. Our current 1994-95 budget has approximately $6,000.00 for a l~m~ted expansion of our pilot program. This would provide funding to sign up to one mile of street. E~ther one of the following two identified areas or portions of each could be selected. AREA % 1 (WARD 1, .91 MILES) Forrest Street From Oleander to 'H' Street Cherry Street From Oleander to 'H' Street Dracena Street From Oleander to 'H' Street 'F' Street From Palm to Dracena 'G' Street From Palm to Dracena AREA ~ 2 (WARD-3, .95 MILES) Christmas Tree From Dana to Wenatchee Crest Drive From Dana to Wenatchee Church Avenue From Dana to Eton' As in our initial pilot program, public awareness would be one of our foremost concerns. We would start with a small article in the Bakersfield Californian newspaper. This is then followed with explanatory letters mailed directly to the residents. Several issues will be made clear in this mailer: 1) There will be strict enforcement of the policy by the Police Department~ 2) A tentative sweeping schedule will be enclosed and; 3) A high percentage of the residents must support the program. To determine Item ~3, the mailer will include a self-addressed card on which 'residents can vote to support or oppose the program. Implementation of this expanded program could be completed within 120 days after approval. 2. FULL CITY W~DE POSTED PROGRAM 2 WEEK SCHED~.~ A full city wide program would be a major commitment in funds and resources. We estimate that in order to meet the sweeping requirements of a fixed 2 week schedule, 4 additional operators would be needed bringing our total number of daytime residential routes and operators to 10. This would require as per our present policy, 6 more motor sweeping machines, including 2 back up units. Police enforcement will be required for a successful program. Lieutenant Cleo Blackburn of the Bakersfield Police Department has estimated that they would require a minimum of 5 full time Police Service Technicians and their related equipment to keep up with 10 sweeping routes. There would., of course, be revenue income from the citations issued but this number is unknown. Proper signing is one of the major items to be considered. At 90 signs per mile, 47,600 signs would be required to post our 529 miles of streets. General Services has estimated that a 2 man crew installing 20 signs per day would require 9 years for ins=alia=ion. In addition, there is the cos= of the signs and equipment involved. Consequently, it seems the mos= reasonable solution would be to con=tact this operation. The General Services estimate is a contracted, installed price, including all labor and material of $70 per sign. Attachmen~ 'D' reflects the additional costs of approximately $4,651,000.00 required in the Street Cleaning Section to implement a full city wide posted sweeping program based on a 2 week cycle time. Attac~n~ 'E' represents the annual additional, cost ef approximately $846,000.00 required to maintain the program. ONCE PER MONTH SCBEDUT. R Reverting to a once per month schedule would reduce costs. while still costly in both funds and resources, there would, a~ least, be .an absolute schedule that the public could rely on. In order to meet this schedule we have estimated that we could reduce the required additional street cleaning personnel and equipment by approximately one half. With this program, 2 more Mo=or Sweeper Operators would be needed along with 3 more motor sweeping machines including i back up machine. This would bring our total number of daytime routes and operators to 8. The Police Department's estimate of 1 Police Service Technician for every 2 sweeping routes would translate into 4 more Police Service Technicians since we would now have a total of 8 routes. In addition, 4 police service vehicles would also be required. Again, revenue from citations is unknown. However, it is assumed that the large number issued initially would drop off as the public became accustomed to the schedule. The required signing would obviously, remain the same as in the 2 week program. Attachment 'F' reflects the additional cost., above our regular street cleaning budget of $4,100,000.00 to implement this program. The annual maintenance cost of $508,000.00 is shown in Attachment 'G'. In addition ~o the costs shown in these and previous charts, there would be additional expense that would be difficul~ to compute a= ~his time. This would include, but no= limited to, mechanics and service personnel to maintain the equipment and also General Service personnel to maintain over 47,000 signs. 3. PHASED CITY WIDE POSTED PROGRAM A planned city wide program may also be considered. Obviously, funding could be used as available or distributed over any time increment such as 10 or 15 years. However, the cost of signing in any proposal would remain fixed at approximately $6,000.00 per mile. Some estimates of anticipated costs for either 2 weeks or once per month schedules follow. For the purpose of illustration, these are based on a 10 year plan and do not reflect any additional growth or inflation. This plan would be very similar to the 2 week schedule of Proposal ti, the limited expansion of the current program, since we would be adding approximately 53 miles of posted streets each year. The first additional Motor Sweeper Operator would be employed during the first year. Subsequent operators would be hired on years 3, 5 and 7. The first Police Service Technician would also be required during the first year and additional technicians would need-to be employed on years 3, 5, 7 and 9. upon complete ~mplementation of this proposal, the annual maintenance cost would be approximately $846,000.00 as _shown in Attachm~ut 'E'. ONCE PER MONTH SCHEDULE The once per month schedule of Proposal %1 would be very similar to this plan. It is anticipated, under this proposal, that the first Motor Sweeper OPerator would be needed during the third year and a second operator would be required on about the seventh year. The first Police Service Technician would need to be employed during the second year and additional technicians hired during years 4, 6, and 8. As in the 2 weeks schedule, this plan would also add approximately 53 miles of posted streets per year and once fully implemented,, would cost approximately $508,000.00 per year to maintain as shown in Attachment 'G'. 4. NON POSTED VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE PROGRAM The key to this program would be a public information notice' published each week in the local newspaper. Our discussions with Mr. Mike Triney, Metro Editor of the Bakersfield Californian, have been very favorable. If requested, he has agreed to publish a weekly public service announcement of street sweeping routes for the following week. This announcement would list bordering streets of neighborhoods scheduled for that week and would also ask the residents to remove parked cars. Their Circulation Manager states that their weekend coverage reaches almost 70% of all households within the City of Bakersfield. Mr~ Wayne Wedgeworth, their Advertising Manager, claims 100% coverage with the use of their Cal Direct supplement delivered to all non subscribers once a week. The latter would have a small fee of approximately $50 per week. A major advantage of this program is that, for now, we would be able to keep our current 3 week sweeping schedule. It is our experience, that this is an excellent compromise between the 2 week schedule and the once per month schedule. Obviously, there will be a number of vehicles that are not moved, however, we feel that residents who are indeed concerned with the cleanliness of their streets will make every effort to comply just as they have for their refuse collection schedule. Another factor contributing to the neighborhood cleanliness of this program would be. the lack of offensive signs that would otherwise be required. This proposal is, by far, the most requested by the public. While many people say they would welcome the schedule, they would prefer the flexibility of the voluntary program in instances such as; visitors, unusual working hours, unavailable off-street parking, or other temporary inconvenient situations. CONCLUSION It is the recommendation of Staff that primary consideration be given to option ~4 "Non Posted Voluntary Compliance Program." This could be implemented on a trial basis and results studied as to the success. Secondary consideration should be given to Option #1 "Limited Expansion of the current Program" on the once per month schedule.

Attached for Council distribution is the Street Division's preliminar~ report regarding the Po~d Staff will continue to further study the Street Sweeping Program. Additional information will follow. Attachment B A K E R $ F I E L D: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM Ba~d on our 1992-93 Street Cleaning Analysis, there are 525 residential street miles. (See Attactunem Although we currently have 2 miles of residential streets posted in two parts of the City, we plan to review other neighborhoods that would lend themselves to a scheduled sweeping program. However, before we propose expansion of the Posted Street Sweeping Program, there are two important items we must determine: I. Personnel and Equipment. It is absolutely necessary to have adequate sweepers and sweeper operators to mamtmn a sweeping schedule if parking is controlled by signs. The General Services Division will aJso have to review their availability to install the signs. 2. Enforcement Policy. We will consult with the Police Department as to their availability to enforce the posted policy. A program requiring posting of streets would be ineffective without strict enforcement. Once we determi-e the feasibility of expanding the Street Sweeping Program, we will submit a list of areas for Council or Committee review. The list will include the cost and needs to implement the program within a designated area. As in our imtial program, public awareness is our foremost concern. We would start by mailing letters directly to residents. There will be a self- addressed card on which residents can vote in favor or oppose posted s~eet sweeping in their neighborhood.

TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES A written status report was submitted to the Committee. The County is awaiting the judgement on the Jamison case before they proceed with implementing a policy that is Urban Development Committee Agenda Summary Report September 14, 1994 Page 2 consistent with the City's. That information should be back to the Committee sometime in December. The Committee asked for a list of all regional facilities and the total costs projected, which will become the basis for the transportation impact fee per unit. The list will be brought back to committee after discussion and review with the County and the technical committee. B. STATUS REPORT ON FREL~,~AYS The Committee thanked staff for work thus far on the Kern River Freeway. The Chair reminded staff to provide the Committee with a wdtten time line on the status of the South Beltway project. Staff indicated that there were no significant updates to report on freeway projects. C. WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT Staff has directed Brown and Caldwell, the consultants, to provide more specific detail for cost comparison of the two sites that are in the final consideration for the treatment plant. The City came in second on the local OEDP list (list for economic development projects), for a development grant for Plant #2. This designation is a direct result of E. Del Smith's lobbying efforts in Washington. It will then go to the national level for pdority selection of the grant. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. ORDINANCE REGARDING TEMPORARY PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES Staff presented information on this item as a result of a carnival coming to town and applying for a temporary promotional activity permit. The magnitude of the event was not known until a caravan of trucks ardved in the proposed neighborhood. Carnivals are regulated under a different section of the ordinance. Staff has suggested developing a new application 'or enhancing the current one to cover the range of information necessary to determine the magnitude of the temporary activity being requested. Currently, the part of the ordinance that relates to carnivals is very weak, and gives quite a bit of discretion to the City Manager as to what is allowed. Staff suggests strengthening and bringing more clarification to the ordinance. Chapter 5.36 of the Municipal Code will be amended and an application to address carnivals, open air and tent shows will be developed.

ADJOURNMENT Adjourned 1:15 p.m. cc: Honorable Mayor and City Council GEW:jp BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director ~Xvr~/~.~.d~- DATE: September 14, 1994 SUBJECT: STATUS OF FREEWAY AND STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD AREA For your information and Council distribution, attached is the September report prepared by this department regarding the status of the various freeway and State highway projects in the metropolitan area. The previous reports also provide additional background on the various projects. September 14, 1994 STATUS OF FREEWAY AND STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD AREA Public Works Department Marian P. Shaw, CE III This report is intended to update the members of the City Council on the progress of various freeway and State Highway projects in the metropolitan area since the August. status report. Kern River Corridor (Kern River Freeway) On August 31, 1994, a public meeting was held at the Harvey Auditorium to help inform the residents of West Park of the status of the State Route 58 Adoption Study. This meeting was sponsored by the County of Kern and the City of Bakersfield; CalTrans made the presentation and answered questions presented by the public. The main concern of the residents was to get the Southern Option dropped from further consideration in the Route Adoption study. Although CalTrans was unable to drop the alignment that night, their representative promised to take their concerns into consideration and to see what could be done in regards to the Southern Option. CalTrans has informed the City that the Background Socioeconomic study will be accelerated and will be available by the end of September. A Project Development Team meeting will be.held sometime between October 15 and November 1. The team members will review the data and make a recommendation regarding the Southern Option at that time. Prior to acquiring right-of-way, CalTrans will need to enter into a freeway agreement with both the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern agreeing to local access locations. With the City Council's opposition to the Southern Option, CalTrans anticipates a very difficult time getting approval of any freeway agreement involving the Southern Option. The public hearing on the project will be held sometime in 1995, and a preferred alignment will be selected after the hearing. The Environmental Impact Report will be completed in 1995. CalTrans hopes to have the specific plan line process completed by the time the right-of-way money becomes available in July of 1996. State Route 178 (Crosstown Freeway) There has been no change in the status of the Crosstown Freeway from that last reported. The House has authorized $4.5 million for this project. The project was not included in the recent appropriations bill and may be considered for funding next year. State Route 99 There are currently three major projects programmed for State Route 99: the Rosedale interchange landscaping, the Golden State/Airport Drive interchange modification, and the widening of S.R. 99 to eight lanes between Wilson Road and Golden State/Airport Drive. Freeway Status Report September 14, 1994 The City will be receiving an Encroachment Permit for the landscaping of the Rosedale interchange from CalTrans this week and construction should be starting Monday, September 19, 1994. Changes to the landscaping plans requested by the Kern River Parkway Committee and the California Native Plant Society will be accommodated as much as possible, depending on plant availability. Construction on the Golden State/Airport Drive interchange modification is ahead of schedule. CalTrans expects to have the route open for traffic at the end of October. The resurfacing of Airport Drive is complete. Southbound S.R. 99 traffic to eastbound S.R. 204 will be switched to use the new bridge soon. Northbound S.R. 99 traffic to eastbound S.R. 204 will continue on the existing detour until the project is complete. The funding for the widening of S.R. 99 between Wilson Road and Airport Drive has been restOred. The project-will advertise on September 19, 1994. Construction should start by mid- to late-November. The widening project will take approximately 2 years to construct. Work on this project will be closely coordinated with the City's California Avenue Widening project, which will include redesign of both the eastbound California/northbound 99 ramp and the westbound California/northbound 99 ramp. South Beltway Public Works and Planning staff are pursuing the SPecific Plan Line adoption for the South Beltway. The Environmental Impact Report approved by Kern COG added three alternatives to the ones already proposed. The City is completing an engineering evaluation of the additional routes and will be establishing a schedule for the remaining work. West Beitway There is no change in the status of the West Bcltway from that last reported. It is still the County's intention to pursue adoption of a specific plan linc for this bcltway through the General Plan amendment and zone change process for the West Rosedale, Pacificana and McAllister Ranch specific plans. The County has held some informational meetings for thc public, but they have not been well attended. Coffee Road Grade Separation The Separation of Grade District has solicited proposals for environmental evaluation of the project site relative to risks and mitigation of contamination and has narrowed the selection to three proposals. These proposals are currently being evaluated.
