January 26,1995 RAUL M, ROJAS, DIRECTOR • CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: STOCKDALE HIGHWAY, COFFEE/GOSFORD ROAD LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT Dear Property Owner: As a result of a survey taken last March and a public information meeting, held in June, the City is proceeding with its plans to form a Maintenance District for the maintenance of landscaping to be placed in your neighborhood. The landscaping to be maintained will include the medians in Stockdale Hi hwa from g Y the fire station just east of El Rio Drive to the west boundary of the CSUB campus and in Coffee Road between Truxtun Avenue and Stockdale Highway. As stated in an earlier .letter the cost of installing the landscaping will be borne by the City. The .maintenance district is being formed to ,pay. for the annual maintenance of the landscaping. The enclosed. notice, as required by -law, is to inform you of .two hearings on the formation of the district. The first hearing is for public testimony on the proposed district and will be held February 8, 'I995, at 7:00 PM, in the Council Chambers. The second hearing is the protest .hearing where you nlay protest the formation of the district. This hearing will be held on March 22, -1995, at~ 7:Q0 PM, in the Coun~:il Chambers. In the original letter sent out last March proposing this district, we stated that the annual assessment for a single family dwelling would be $12 per year.. Since then, however, the City Council a roved the PP. Consolidated Maintenance District on June 29, 1994.. This combines all :previous districts: into one large district where all parcels receiving a ,similar benefit will pay the same amount. The Citv's rocedure is' that . P all new districts formed d~-~ng the fiscal year will be merged into the Consolidated Maintenance District at the end of each fiscal year. If this district is formed, there would be no assessment for the current ear (I994- Y 95}. The asse,rnent for fiscal year 1995-96 would be $12 per single family dwelling ($7 per dwelling unit -for multifamily}. ~n f cal y€~ar 1996-97, and thereafter, each parcel would be assessed the same as other arcels P receiving the same benefit. In 1994-95 each parcel with landscaping similar to what is bein ro sed for this g P Po district paid an assessment of $32. ..Should the district u~t be formed the spaces. in tie medians will be paved over with as halt. P If you have any question or need additional information on this project, lease call Lauren Dimber P g or John Stinson at 326-3724. We look forward too ydur continued sup~~rt of this project. fiery truly yours, .% ~, i,i, ,: ~~ Raul M. as Public Works Director RMR:Id cuW ~~~ ~. ~ .a. ~~ ~ CG~e~i' ~?~ ~_~ ~ It Nva .. - + J C. f V ~ t kw ~ ~f k,A r ~~° ~ ~ ~ -~ p~T ~ S = ~o~t~M ~~~ ~~ ~~ -- a ~ ~ ~~ ~, -- ~~ - ___._ -~--~- - --t-.__--___ ----._.------------ ~R~~ --- F f/ ~ I _ i 4ee` ~""' N VI Y A T ~ ~ ',~~ _.__~ ~/ 1 _ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~® ~ ~ ° ~' ~ ' ' __ ~J, "_, ~n }pq~, j~,~p~ RAJ g ~ .. ~ 5c~°j ~ c. ~~~ ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~3~~ X50 -2~-yo ~ ~] 23 3~ -~ . a ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ :~ ~~ ~ 9 l ~~ 0.3 2 c9rw~wes,- 3 --~ ~ ~ ~~ ~6g.-,del • 6~. - ~o-/ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ _ ~.~~ i AR9V.

Our group ~s growing by the hour as we have just learned via a letter mailed to all property owners from our Public Works Department received January 28, 1995 aboufi City.. Staff's infent to proceed with the establishment of the proposed Landscape Maintenance District involving our neighborhoods see attachment). It is imperative thaf you be informed and/or reminded that the "Adminisfirative Report" -dated .~anuary 20, 1995 from our Public Works Direcfior to yourselves is absolutely. inaccurate as is stated, "Property owners in this area have indicated their support to establish a Page 3 property owners up-front with truthfulness and full disclosure from the initial efforts of this proposed district formation. I am confident that none of us here tonight as well as the people of our All-American City wish to appear deceitful or misleading in our public efforts to represent! As a result, our still organizing & uniting neighborhood efforts of Stockdale Estates and 6Zuailwood respectfully request that the City IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE any further effort at establishing this proposed maintenance district! We believe all of the People of Bakersfield have suffered enough with the °eyesore" of this unnecessarily prolonged and delayed project to complete the unpaved median on Stockdale Highway. We recall- in our initial. letter from the Department of Public Works dated March 7, 1994, " In its continuing effort to beautify and upgrade the image of the city,. the City of Bakersfield is proposing to landscape the medians of Stockdale Highway and Coffee Road within the areas shown on .the enclosed maps. Improvements will include trees, shrubs, ground cover and an automatic irrigation. system in addition to the decorative stamped. colored concrete `being .constructed with. the current median project. The .initial cost of construction of these improvements will be borne by the City.." If the City. is still prepared to bear the costs of the initial construction, maybe there are alternative improvements that do not require the establishment of a maintenance district?? For example, is it logical to consider that the City use the funds apparently allocated for the " .initial cost of the construction of these improvements" be used to complete. the. median with the already constructed decorative stamped color concrete? Which, by the way, has never been proposed as an alternative . to the property owners. Or does that alleged fund even currently exist?? Page 5 ~~_ , 1.. ~. NO-CAP assessment tax. This circumstance already occurs when Homeowner's Association Fees are seemingly high! You see, our concern of course centers around our .neighborhoods. today, but this issue effects all other property owners in the City of Bakersfield who will also be subject to assessments of a similar nature. In fact, we already have had calls from other property owners outside of our neighborhoods both in Maintenance Districts already (and UNAWARE of their soon to be discovered membership in the Consolidated District} as well as property owners not yet "inducted"! Finally, before others with me here tonite have there own additional concerns and experiences to share, , tet me repeat what has clearly been echoed by our people at the local ,state and federal levels - No new taxes! or "assessment fees° as they .are now. termed for purposes of "creative financing" UNLESS Cleary desired by the: majority 2/3,'s of the people! Smaller government not larger! And let's learn to live within the limits of existing funding! In our case in 6Zuailwood & Stockdale Estates, THE PEOPLE HAVE Al.RfADY SPOKEN! 1~~ respectfully request you give us your decision on this issue in writing as soon as possible but no later than TEN (10> days prior to the scheduled March 22nd Protest Hearing. Gary Keith Wilkinson 209 E1 Tovar Court Bakersfield, CA 93309 February 3, 1995 Kevin McDermott Councilman, 4th Ward 1615 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Councilman McDermott: 95 FEB -6 AM 9~ 31 BAKERSFIELO C11~Y CLERK In response to a recent letter from the Public Works Department of the City of Bakersfield concerning the formation of Maintenance District No. 2-15, I would like to express my strong opposition to this proposal. The letter mentions a survey conducted in March, 1994. This was, as indicated, a survey -- not a vote of the affected property owners. As a result of the survey, which indicated only 53 percent of the respondents were in favor of forming such a District, there was a Public Information Meeting (specially requested by Conni Brunni } held June 16, 1994, at Cal-State. Nearly all of the attendees at this meeting voiced .strong opposition to the formation of such a .District.. Some of the opposition came from those who did not want the District under any circumstances, and some from those who were concerned about lack of safeguards to control escalation of costs. The question of costs and the passibility of rising costs .was brought up many times to the persons representing the Public Works .Department, but-.was met with evasive answers. When I asked Frank ~`abbri, .Parks Superintendent, if there was any historical data to at least give an idea as to the rates of increases suffered by other Maintenance Districts, he stated that increases were enerall g Y "small" --.a statement that was later refuted. at a regular meetin 9 of the City Council. At the June 29, 1994, meeting of the Counci 1, you posed the question of why costs of maintaining landscaping within Maintenance Districts had risen so much faster than the cost outside of Maintenance Districts. At that meeting, there was much discussion about consolidatian of the many districts into one Large district. At that time you questioned .the propriety of such a move, stating that you did not believe the projected savings of approximately $20,000 warranted the move. You also suggested to the Council that if such a move was approved that increases in assessments should be no more than 10 percent of what the assessment would have been without such consolidation. This concept was passed as an amended motion at-the June 29, 1994, Council meeting. Kevin McDermott February 3, 1995 ~~~ Page 2 During the Public Information Meeting mentioned earlier, the proposed assessment for each single family residence was $12 per year, with apartments being assessed $7 per unit.and nonresidential properties to be $50 per acre. The most recent letter concerning these assessments places these costs at $32 per residence, afar cry fram the aforementioned 10 percent, The latest letter also suggests that if a Maintenance District is not formed, the spaces in the median will be paved. SO BE IT!!!. The City Engineer admitted that the project was undertaken, along with another project, with insufficient funds available to complete either of them, These people came to us asking that we bai 1 them out of a probl em they had created, and we said no. This latest letter also states that. "the cost of installing the landscaping would be borne by the City", with the cost of maintenance to come from the funds derived from the proposed Maintenance District. Where in the world do these people think the money to install the landscaping came fram in the -first place? They do not seem to recognize that it is not their money, but belongs to the taxpayers, who must, ultimately decide how it is to be spent. I feel that this latest attempt by the City to glean more money from property owners to provide something that was never requested, with no means of limiting the rates assessed, is an affront to ali property owners within the proposed district- and should be squelched as: soon as possible. Please continue to question the propriety of forming such a district, and urge your fellow Councilmembers to vote "NO" on the formation of Maintenance District No. 2-15. Thank you for your attention to this matter. __ Very truly yours, nary K. Wilkinson cc: Irma Carson Pat Smith Pat Demond Randy RoWies Mark Salvaggio 0 Robert S. & Jolene D. Powell 600 Vista Verde Way Bakersfield, CA 93309-2358 City Clerk City of Bakersfield 1501 Truxtun Ave. Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Person, 95 f E8 13 PM 12~ 4 BAKERS~IELD CITY CLERK February 9, 1995 We are against the groposed Stockdale Highway, Gosford Road Landscape Maintenance District proposed by your Public Works Department. It appears to us that your plans included this landscaping even before any of those chosen to pay for it were informed. We are not against trees but there are several reasons we oppose the formation of this District. 1) A few property owners will be forced to pay for a project that will benefit the thousands of motorists that travel Stockdale Highway. 2) In our opinion, the formation of this district is taxation without representation unless a two-thirds majority approve in our opinion. 3) The cost estimates are suspect. First it was $12.00 a year, then it jumped to $32.00 a year with na cap. We were misled with the first correspondence and survey with a $12.00 number. 4) The most recent letter states "The cost of installing the .landscaping will be borne by the City". What does this mean? Are we to assume this cost is free? The nonrecurring cost should be included in the correspondence so that taxpayers can see the actual cost of this proposed project. 5) According to the representative from Cal-State, the University would provide their share of funds as necessary to complete this project and that the University was for the project. There is nothing stated on the letter we receive about any assessment other than home dwellers. What will Cal-State's assessment be? How about the Shopping Center, will it be assessed and how much? 6) A speaker at the Council meeting on February 8, 1995, noted that about 1100 homes would spend about $32,000.00 a year to maintain this median and pay for the water. ~~t-5 add~ss .5 au~i~~ .

However, ? wish to voice support for the .proposed district and will watc h with interest as the project moves forward. Even though I will not be attending the meeting I wish to contribute the fallowing thoughts to the committee: In planning the landscaping I sincerely hope serious consideration will be given to the site. Please choose low water requirement trees and shrubs, and do not plant high maintenance cost turf, weed growth on the bare ground that will evQntually be covered by the shrubs can be controlled with simple and safe pre-emergence herbicides, and/or the use of mulch made from the city's mulch. trimmings or Christmas tree mulch. To control the water run off, which is wasteful and in time destroys the adjoining road beds, the so it level must be 4-6" below the curb. This will allow the water, as applied by bubbler emitters, to collect in the basin formed by the curbing, and finally percolate into the soil profile. Exam- p 1 es of what not to do are the Gassf o rd-Gof f ee strips which are "crowned" and allow the sprinkler water to flow onto the. street wasting water and damaging the street surf ace. It is also impor- taut. that the median planting areas be ripped to a depth of 18- 24" to open the soil and allow water and root penetration through the compacted media strips.' Bakersfield-must have trees and shrubs, not asphalt, at this. important entrance to our "A11 American City". .The dirt piles now standing have been very depressing sights, and hopefully the view will change soon. Please continue to keep all of us in- formed about the progress of this work. Sincerely, C . Harvey mpbe l 1, j r . , Ag ronom ~i st P.a.

However, I would like to voice my opinion (once again) regarding the subject maintenance district. I am opposed to the creation.of a maintenance district for the highway. medians as described in .your June 9th letter. .,~~~s~h-e, med~~~a~nwere 'completed ~~~~,..~~.h -the e~~:, ~ t l -e a l r e a d, y ;par i as 1 y: i ns~t ti l l e d, n o; m a y n.t~ev~~~c,e ~d~~ skt;r -i eat wou:l}d be -~nec~:es~s:a~r..y.~` This ti.~~:e is colorful and unob~~rusive. Thee install- ation of grass, shrubbery and trees obviously requires installation of a water line, continuous watering and associated maintenance costs, as opposed to none for~the red tile. Furthermore, the fast traffic on Stockdale Highway from dense housing in the southwest and from CSUB,~ .; , during times of the day, is such that anything rising above ground level in the median will create an unsafe visual hazard for such traffic. Also, as far as my wife and I are concerned, the creation of another main- tenance district is just a means of violating the precepts involved with Proposition 13. We are retired Senior Citizens living on a pension and we cannot afford to be inundated with property taxes emanating from a procession of taxing districts designed deliberately to circumvent the provisions of Proposition 13. We would Like to see the money that would be spent for median landscaping be utilized to install traffic signals at the intersection of Stockdale Highway and Via Riata. There has been several bad accidents at this intersection and there are times when it is virtuously impossible to enter o.r cross Stockdale Highway safely due to the speeding traffic.~from both directions along the highway. .

Please be advised that our position on this proposed district has not changed and we feel even more adamantly that the entire issue is completely out of line. According to the 1-2b-95 letter we recently received from the Public Works Department, the survey last summer resulted in the City going forward with plans for this proposed district. We attended the hearing last June at which public input was requested. The city staff, after the meeting, told our then City Councilperson, Connie Brunni, that the results of the "vote" were that those present wanted the project to go forward. We were speaking with Ms. Brunni at that time. We informed her as we are informing you now, NO vote was taken at that meeting and the city staff obviously collected only the responses from those present who were in favor of the project. One of the "gentlemen" even articulated that I, Terry Livengood, could not voice an opinion at the meeting! After informing me that only my husband was allowed a voice, I did enlighten him to the fact that women were given the right to vote- years ago! At the meeting, any of us who had voiced objections to the project were told that the cards to state an opinion were only if we wanted to change our original position. Those who were in favor of -the project were told to bo ahead and document that opinion on the cards handed out that evening. In no way did that constitute a "vote" for the hearing. after the Council voted on the issue in June 1994, we again contacted Connie Brunni and were informed that the measure had failed and that we need not be concerned, the maintenance district would NOT go forward. Now, seven (7) months later we are notified that City Staff has :not accepted the response of the ,public and the vote of the Council but are progressing forward with. yet another attempt to put the maintenance district in place.. Our original concerns are being proven to be accurate, the assessment is not to continue at the estimated $12.00 per year fee-that Staff had informed the residents. Now we are looking at something more in the neighborhood of $32.00 per year.. The Staff informed us in the last public he<~rin g that additional employees would need to be hired, private contracts could very easily reduce the expenditures for the maintenance districts, but no options other than City control and • B A K E R S F I E L D PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 150t TRUXTUN AVENUE BAKERSFIELD, CALiF4RNIA 93301 (80S) 326-372a January 26,1995 RAUL ~1. ROJAS, DIRECTOR ~ C1TY ENGINEER SUBJECT: STOCKDALE HIGHWAY, COFFEE!GOSFORD ROAD LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE D ISTRICT ~~~~~. `.~. ~~: ~_ ~. Dear Property Owner: As a result of a survey taken last March and a public information meeting held in June, the City is proceeding with its plans to form a Maintenance District for the maintenance of landscaping to be placed in your aeighborhood. The landscaping to be maintained will include the medians in Stockdale Highway from the fire station just east of El Rio Drive to the west boundary of the CSUB campus and in Coffee Road between Truxtun Aveaue and Stockdale Highway... As stated in an earlier letter the cost of installing the landscaping wiU be borne by the City. The maintenance district is being ,formed to pay for the annual maintenance of the landscaping. The enclosed notice, as required by law, is to inform you of two hearings oa the formatioa of the district. The first hearing is for public testimony on the proposed district and will be held February 8,1995, at 7:00 PM, in the Council Chambers. The second hearing is the protest hearing where you may protest the formation of the district. This hearing will be held on March '2, 1995, at ?:00 PM, in the Council Chambers. In the original letter sent out last March proposing this district, we stated that the annual assessment for a single family dwelling would be $12 per. year. Since then, however, the City Council approved the Consolidated Mainteaance District on June 29, 1994. This combines aU previous districts into one large district ~ where all parcels receiving a similar benefit will pay the same amount.. The City's procedure is .that all new districts formed during the fiscal year will be merged into the Consolidated Maintenance District at the end of each final year. If this district is formed, there would be no assessment for the current year (1994- 95). The assessment for fiscal year 1995.9fi would be $12 per single family dwelling ($7 per dwelling unit for multi-fanvly). In fiscal year 1996-97, and thereafter, each parcel would be assessed the same as other parcels receiving the same benefit. In 1994-95 each parcel with landscaping similar to what is being proposed for,. this district paid an assessment of $32. Should the district not be formed the. spaces in the medians will be pavCd over with aspualt. If you have any question or need additional information on this project, please call Laurea Dimberg or John Stinson at 326-3724. We look forward to your continued support of this project.

After that meeting, our feelings, if possible, are even stron er. Please be g informed for the record that we are NOT in favor of this proposal nor anY ~~Jjf~~~J~//~~~/ of similar ~A_t I t i proposal. We were informed at the meeting that the policy of the City is to require a "majori "~ of at tY least 64 % for passage of this type concept. It was our understanding that increased taxes .,::required. a majority of .sixty-six and two-thirds percent (6b 2/3 %) in order to be im lemented. P At the meeting, we were informed that the response to the March curve was a roximatel Y PP Y 50 % of the property owners ie the area. According to City staff, the result was 53 % in favor to 47 % opposed. This would represent only 27 % of the property owners responded affirmatively. one issue which was not clarified last night was how these percentages were estimated. We were informed that the businesses in the area had been approached before beginning this project and businesses such as Town and Country Shopping Center had agr~d to fund the maintenance district prior to approaching the home owners. Were the businesses included in the totals of respondents and did these business votes represent more than one vote per parcel? Additionally, we were informed last night that the only two (2) such maintenance districts in the City already in operation are funded exclusively by business areas. This is the first venture into residential areas. The attitude of the residents at the meeting last night certainly seemed to us not to be in .favor of the proposal. The concept of landsca in the Ci Pg ty was not disputed, the major objection was with the establishment of yet another government bureaucracy. The City staff acknowledged that additional personnel will be necessary to implement the plan, that starr~n salary is NOT minimum wage with the Ci ,and that a ~ ty DAVE ~L TERRY LIVENGOOD 8009 LUCES CORTA BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORTTIA 93309 (805)834-0415 ,,~ .: ~~- March 10,1994 City of Bakersfield Public Works Department 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Attn: Marian P. Shaw Dear Ms. Shaw: This letter is in response to the March 7,1994 mailing directed to property owners in the area of Stockdale Hwy. and Gosford Road. We are adamantly opposed to the formation of these two ~2) Landscape Maintenance Districts. First, the property owners were not asked about the expansion of the road which will increase the traffic in the area. Secondly, the funds expended on the documentation provided in the mailing must have cost a substantial amount. That expenditure could have been used to maintain the landscaping if the City decided to go forward with the plans. Thirdly, there is no definite cost being provided to the property owners. An "estimate" does not make us comfortable with what the city may eventually decide to tax us. Fourth, according to the maps provided, we would be providing maintenance for the landscaping for numerous areas not included in these districts. The areas delineated in the maps include Quailwood and a portion of Stockdale Estates but exclude Old Stockdale, Cal State University, Bakersfield, Mercy Southwest, The Shores, and The Edgewater Apartments. Additionally, as far as we know, these roads are not for the exclusive use of the property owners in the specified maintenance districts. Stockdale Hwy. is a major thoroughfare with one of the primary functions being access to Cal State- University, Bakersfield. For a selective few to be maintaining the City property for this area is unequivocally unfair. We do NOT authorize the City to increase our taxes to maintain this project and assume that the City will re-thiink this entire issue. ~Ve anticipate hearing the results of this survey in the near future. Should you wish to discuss this issue in more detail, feel free to contact us at the above phone number. ~-- Q~-°~ Theresa R.

The letter mentions a survey conducted in March, 1994. This was, as indicated, a survey -- not a vote of the affected property owners. As a result of the survey, which indicated only 53 percent of the respondents were in favor of forming such a District, there was a Public Information Meeting {specially requested by Conni 8runni} held June 16, 1994, at Cal-State. Nearly all of .the attendees at this meeting voiced strong opposition to the formation of such a District. Some of the opposition came from those who did not want the District under .any circumstances., and some from those who were. concerned about lack of safeguards to control escalation of costs. The question of costs and the possibility of rising costs was brought up many times to the persons .representing the Public Works Department, but was met with evasive answers.. When I asked Frank Fabbri, Parks Superintendent, if there was any historical data to at least give an idea as to the rates of increases suffered by other Maintenance Districts, he stated that increases were generally "small" -- a statement that was later refuted at a regular meeting of the .City Council. At the June 29, 1994, meeting of the Council , you posed the question of why costs of maintaining landscaping within Maintenance Districts had risen so much faster than the -cost outside of Maintenance Districts. At that meeting, there was much discussion about consolidation of the many districts into one large district. At that time you questioned the propriety o~f such a move, stating ,that you did not believe. the projected savings of approximately $20,000 warranted the. move. You also suggested to the Council that if such a move was approved that increases in assessments should be no more than l0:percent of what the assessment would have been without such consolidation. This concept was passed as an amended motion at the June 29, 1994, Council meeting. Kevin McDermott February 3, 1995 Page 2 ' ~ he Public Information Meeting mentioned earlier, the During t osed assessment for each single family residence was $12 per prop with a artments being assessed $7 per unit and nonresidential year, P ro erties to be $50 per acre. The most recent letter concerning P P e assessments places these costs at $32 per residence, afar cry thes om the of oretnentioned 10 percent . The latest letter also suggests fr ' a Maintenance District is not formed, the spaces in the that if ,,, 'Weer admitted that median will be paved. SO BE IT.... The City Engl 'ect was .undertaken, along with another project, with the grog ' 'cient funds available to complete either of them. .These insuf f i ame to us askin that we bai 1 them ,out of a probl em they had peop 1 e c 9 created, and, we said no. ' etter also states that "the cost of installing the This 1 atest 1 ~ ~~ cost of l,andsca in would be borne by the City , with the P g ' ance to come from the funds derived from the proposed mainten ' enance District. Where in the world do these people think the Maint e to instal l the landscaping came from in the first .place? ~ They mon y ~ it is not their money, but belongs to do not seem to recognize that the tax a ers, who must, ultimately decide how it is to be spent.. PY eel that this 1 atest attempt by the City to glean more money from If ert owners to rovide something that was never requested, with Prof Y P ears of limiting the rates assessed, is an affront to all no m ro ert owners within the proposed district and should be squelched P P Y soon as ossible. Please continue to question the propriety of as P formin such a district, and urge your fellow Councilmembers ~to vote 9 "N0," on the formation of Maintenance District No. 2-15. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Very truly yours, G C 4~~~~~^ a ~~ ~ . Gary K.

My husband and I have lived at 201 Montalvo Dr. since December 1971. We were one of the property owners who responded to the initial inquiry concerning the landscaping of Stockdale Highway. Our response was a negative one based mainly on the fact that we did not want an increase of our property taxes. During the 24 years we have lived in our home Stockdale Highway has grown from a two lane road to the main artery it is today. I do not feel in anyway that the lack of landscaping has decreased the value of our property nor do I feel it will greatly improve it. The esthetic view of driving down Gosford is one of beaufiyr when it is freshly mowed and the trees are green, but many of us would also be quick to comment on the waste of water running down the streets .from misgauged sprinklers that never seem to get adjusted, or of seeing three city works trucks with six personnel standing around while ONE indi~~idual replaces a sprinkler head. Many of us would rather see pot-holes and cracks, repaired or increased up-keep on existing parks. Aber reading the coverage in the Bakersfield Californian on page two in Tuesday's edition I decided to call my neighbors to see how they felt about the proposed tax levy. I spent two hours on the phone and finished with a very different view than the one you expressed in the Californian.
