SUBJECT: AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS - May 16, 2001, COUNCIL MEETING
PRE-MEETING
There is one workshop, which is an overview of the Proposed FY 2001-02 Budget given by the City
Manager's Office.
There are two closed session items: 1) Conference with Legal Counsel regarding an existing litigation
regarding Palm/Olive Concerned Citizens; and 2) Conference with Legal Counsel regarding existing
litigation regarding Norma Espinoza v. City of Bakersfield
CONSENT CALENDAR
Consent Calendar items are explained by Administrative Reports. Those that should be highlighted
include:
Item 8c. Resolution of Intention oreliminarilv adootin(~, confirmin(3 and aoorovin(] Public Works Director's
report for the Consolidated Maintence District and the 2001-2002 budoet: settin(~ time and place for
hearinq protests on the amount of street and median landscaoin(] assessments. This year all new
territories were added directly to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the time of their formation. This
resolution primarily approves the Public Works Director's Report which includes the 2001-2002 budget for
Consolidated Maintenance District. Last year the City Council approved a 66% subsidy for the cost of park
maintenance for City assessments. Again this year, assessments will not be increased, and will remain
at the 2000-2001 level.
Item I~d. Resolution of Intention Preliminarily adoDtin(3, confirmino and aoorovin(] Public Works Director's
report for the Consolidated Maintenance District and the 2001-2002 bud(~et: settin(~ time and olace for
he~rin(] protests on the amount of street and median landscaoin(~ assessments. This year all new
territories were added directly to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the time of their formation. This
resolution preliminarily approves the Public Works Director's Report which includes the 2001 - 2002 budget
for the Consolidated Maintenance District. Last year the City Council approved a 7.3% subsidy for the cost
of street and median maintenance for City assessments. This percentage represents the level of general
benefit for street and median maintenance for parcels outside the Consolidated Maintenance District.
Again this year, assessments will not be increased, and will remain at the 2000-2001 level.
Item 8e. Resolution of Intention oreliminarilv adootinq, confirmin(~ and aoorovino Public Works Director's
report for the Traffic Si(3nal Maintenance Districts and the 2001-2002 bud(lets: settin(] time and olace for
hearino protests on the amount of assessments. Since approval of the Resolution which provides for the
collection of maintenance and operating costs for "convenience" traffic signals, the Council has approved
four traffic signal maintenance districts. The Municipal Code requires an annual hearing to set the
assessments for each parcel. Due to the small number of property owners, the hearings for all four
districts will be combined, but the budgets for each will remain separate. Assessments are not being
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
May 11, 2001

increased for any of the four districts, so therefore the districts are exempt from the procedures and
approval process.
Item 8f. Resolution addino territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District and confirmino the
assessments, aoorovine the Public Works Director's Reoort and authorizino collection of assessments by
the Kern County TaxCollector ¢Commerce. Truxtun~. A written request has been received from the owner
to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance District as required. Inclusion in the Consolidated
Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of median and street landscaping. The City has
received a letter from the owner of the property which waives the public hearing concerning inclusion in
the Consolidated Maintenance District, which allows the City to expedite themaintenance district process,
to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The owner submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating his consent
to the assessments. A covenant hasbeen drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider/developer to be
recorded with any future subdivision map.
Item 80. Resolution aoorovino aoplication for $68,277 in State Funds for recvclinq beverage containers.
Pursuant to the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, the Department of
Conservation's Division of Recycling is required to distribute a total of $10.5 million to eligible cities and
counties for beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities. In an effort to reach our goal of
diverting 50% of the wastestream away from landfills, Bakersfield operates eight dropoff recycling centers.
All revenues from the sale of the recyclables become property of the site hosts. If approved, this would
authorize staff to apply for $68,277 in additional funding for FY 2001-2002 that would be used to
supplement the dropoff recycling program, which costs $190,000 this year to operate.
Item 8h. Resolution auth0rizino deferral of assessments for Roy DeGeer on parcel within Assessment
District No. 91-t (Hosking Trunk Sewer~. In September 1992, the City Council confirmed and approved
Assessment District No. 91-1. Mr. Gordon Slater's parcel was assessed based on its land use designation
per the 2010 General Plan, just as all other parcels within the district were assessed. The land use for this
parcel allowed for R-4 zoning, but the actual zoning on this parcel was R-2. The property owner registered
a complaint regarding the assessment spread method used. Staff revised the assessment and determined
that an R-3 zone would be more reasonable for that parcel. The Council further directed staff to prepare
a deferral of that portion of the assessment which represented the difference. This deferred portion of the
assessment was due and payable with interest if any development entitlement occurred on the property
or if the property ownership was transferred. The deferral must be requested annually by the property
owner so that staff may determine if sufficient funds remain in the reserve fund to pay the deferred amount,
which is due annually to the bond holders. The City Clerk has received a letter from Mr. Daegeer
requesting deferment of his assessments for this year.
Item 8i. Resolution determining that a fully integrated police information system cannot be obtained
through the usual bidding orocedures and authorizing the Finance Director to disoense with biddino, not
tO {)xceed $1.077,212. and aoorooriate $181.995 CLEEP Funds and $150.000 Council ContinGency for
purchase of Records ManaGement SYstem. In 1994 the Bakersfield Police Department purchased its
current Records Management System (RMS) from Tiburon, Inc. The system has been upgraded and
customized. Unresponsive and expensive service have accompanied the Tiburon System from its
inception. In January 2000, the Police Department formed a committee to research alternatives to the
RMS. Committee members found a software named Versaterm to be widely popular, and is compatible
with the Oracle database currently supported by MIS. Council has approved and appropriated $500,000
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funds from the State and $245,217 Bureau of Justice Assistance
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Funds, and approved $181,995 CLEEP Funds to purchase the RMS.
In order to provide additional funds for the purchase, an appropriation of the CLEEP funds is requested,
and approval and appropriation of $150,000 from the Council Contingency Fund.

Item 8i. Amendment No. 11 to Resolution No. 66-99 aPProving Memorandum of Understanding for
employees of the Blue and White Collar Units and adoDtina salary schedule and related benefits for Police
Disoatcher 1/11. The Police Department has requested a title change from Telecommunicator 1/11 to Police
Dispatcher I/Il. The title change is being proposed because it is more descriptive of the position and will
enhance recruitment efforts. In this process, minor changes were made to the job specifications. The title
changes and revised job specifications were approved by the Police Civil Service Board on April 4, 2001.
There is no budgetary impact because the salaries for the two positions will remain the same.
Agreements:
Item 81. Purchase Aoreement with Arch Prooerties. Inc. to acouire real orooerb/located at 701 Union
Avenue for bliaht removal and future redevelooment oroiects in the amount of $8.000. The property being
acquired is a dilapidated restaurant that has been cited by the City's Code Enforcement Division. The
restaurant is surrounded on three sides by the old Turner Inn that is slated for removal. The acquisition
of this smaller property, which is under separate ownership, would expedite removal of the remaining
structures. On May 17, 2001, the Planning Commission will be asked to find the acquisition consistent with
the 2010 General Plan,
Item 8m. Aareement with Valley Achievement Center for $15.000 of Community Develooment Block Grant
Funds to ourchase orooertv located at 7300 Mina Avenue. In August 2000, the City Council approved a
CDBG Amendment allocating $15,000 of CDBG Funds to provide down payment assistance to Valley
Achievement Center (VAC) towards the purchase of the facility it now leases. VAC has leased the 7300
Ming Avenue facility since 1996, and has the opportunity to purchase the facility for approximately
$700,000. VAC is requesting $15,000 to be used as a down payment for the purchase; Kern County
Community Development Program is funding an additional $60,000 towards the acquisition. The remaining
funds will be raised through bank loans and a three-year grant from the Department of Education totaling
$150,000. The owner is prepared to offer some gap financing, should the need arise, Acquisition will be
completed after all funding is in place, which should be no later than October of 2001.
Item 8n. Cooperative Aareement with the State of California for the transfer of ownershio of a drainage
basin Io(;ated at the northwest corner of Rosedale Hiahwav (State Route 58) and Henry Lane. The City
is in the processof annexing property located adjacent to Henry Lane north of Rosedale Highway. There
is an existing drainage problem within this area. The transfer of ownership of the drainage basin to the
City will provide a means of alleviating the problem by averting the drainage water into the basin.
Item 8o, Amendment No. 1 to Consultant's Aclreement No, 00-287 with RBF Consultine for environmental
qQnsultina on the White Lane/Hi(3hway 99 Interchanae Reconstruction Proiect in the amount of $14.864.
During recent consultations with Caltrans, additional evaluations of the surrounding architecture and
hydology were requested that were not anticipated in the original scope of work in the Agreement. This
amendment is necessary to pay the Consultant for the additional services required by Caltrans that will be
performed under this revised scope of work. The Amendment adds $14,864, bringing the total contract
amount to $81,744. Sufficient funds are available within this project's budget.
Item 8o. Amendment No. 1 to Consultant's Agreement No. 01-051 with RBF Consultina for environmental
consultina on the Fairfax Road/Hiahwav 178 Reconstruction oroiect in the amount of $39.200, During
recent consultations with Caltrans, additional evaluations of the visual impact of the proposed
improvements and the potential for flooding at the project site were requested that were not anticipated
in the original scope of work. This amendment is necessary to pay the Consultant for the additional
services required by Caltrans that will be performed under this revised scope of work. The Amendment
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
May 11, 2001
Page -4-
adds $39,200, bringing the total contract amount to $158,290. Sufficient funds are available within this
project's budget.
Item 8o. Agreement with DBL Entertainment. in an amount not to exceed $39.550, to book and produce
acts for the Rockin' Bv The River summer concert series. Last year the City Council approved additional
funding to enhance the Rockin' By The River concert series. As a result, more than 11,000 guests
attended the three week series in 2000. Due to changes in the market, the cost of bands and production
will be increasing slightly, although the level of entertainment will remain the same. The contract does
include "not to exceed" language which will allow the overall amount to be reduced if the promoter is able
to negotiate a lower rate. The department expects to receive additional sponsorships following last year's
success to help offset the anticipated increase.
Bids:
Item 8r. Award Annual Contract to Doyle Ellis LLC for Asohalt Reiuvenator/Sealant. in an amount not to
exceed $200.000. This product is used on city streets to rejuvenate and seal them for longer wear. One
acceptable bid was received. Staff recommends award to Doyle Ellis LLC.
Item 8s. Demolition of Imorovements {~t 1426 P Street. The building at 1426 P Street is being demolished
to allow for additional parking for the Convention Center and Centennial Garden. Staff requests the
transfer and appropriation of $125,000 Capital Outlay Fund Balance to the Offstreet Parking Fund Capital
Improvement Budget for demolition of improvements. As part of the demolition, building materials
containing asbestos and other hazardous materials will be disposed of. The lot will then be graded and
resurfaced for additional parking, which is proposed in next year's CIP budget. Six acceptable bids for
demolition were received. Staff recommends award to Kroeker, Inc. in the amount of $123,944.
Item 8to Award bids to Myriad Solutions, Inc. and PC Mall Government Solutions for comouters and related
eouioment, in the amounts of $62.616.40 and $13,936 resoectivelv, for a total of $76.552.40. Eighteen
acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends the award be split between Myriad Solutions, Inc. in
the amount of $62,616.40 and PC Mall Government Solutions in the amount of $76,552.40.
Miscellaneous:
Item 8u. Aoorove oavment to Quinn Comoanv for unanticioated repairs on Crawler Tractor in the amount
of $26.560.20. A crawler tractor was placed in'service in April 1996 and is used by all divisions of Public
Works, Water Resoumes, and Recreation and Parks. Due to its size, Fleet Services did not have the
capability to lift the tractor for inspection, Quinn Company performed an evaluation and determined that
the complete undercarriage required replacement. The cost of this work is $26,560,20 and is necessary
to assure the completion of existing projects and the safety of equipment operators.
Item 8v. GIS Address Maooino for Fire and Police CAD Systems. The recommended action would
centralize the input of address data into the CAD system by MIS division of the City, shifting that function
away from County Fire and Bakersfield Police departments. The Police and Fire departments would
continue to use different CAD systems, but data entry into the road file would be performed by a GIS
Technician working for the City. Cost to the City for taking over the GIS mapping function provides two
area of savings. First, the agreement calls for the County to pay us to take over the mapping function for
the metropolitan area, not just the incorporated area. In return, the County would reimburse the City up
to $20,000 for updating the road file data for the metro area. Second, there would be a cost savings to
the City of $12,574, which is a reduction in the amount the City currently pays the County to enter and
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
May 11, 2001
Page -5-
maintain "road file" data within the boundaries of the City. In summary, rather than the City paying the
County for these services, the City would maintain the road file data for the metro area and the County
would pay the City for that service. The reimbursement and budget savings realized by the City would
cover most of the cost of a GIS position for the City. There are excess funds available in the MIS operating
budget on an ongoing basis to fund the remaining amount of the position.
Discussions with the County regarding reimbursement issues took longer than expected so we were not
able to include this position in the proposed FY 01-02 Budget that will be considered by the City Council
this month. The position will require a reduction in the Fire budget by the amount being reimbursed by
County Fire, and adjusting estimated revenues by the amount of the reimbursement. Staff proposes that
these changes be made along with changes made by the City Council to the overall budget as a result of
the upcoming budget hearings.
HEARINGS
Item 9a. Public Hearin(~ for Underoround Utility District (California & RI. The City Council approved a
Resolution in April 2001 which set the public hearing for~May 16, 2001. This resolution is necessary in
order to comply with the City Municipal Code and PG&E Rule 20A regulations regarding underground utility
districts. All overhead line in the area of the proposed City Center project shall be removed and relocated
underground. The district will be constructed with PG&E Rule 20A funds at no cost to the City. Rule 20A
funds will also be used. If necessary, to pay for private panel conversions. Staff recommends overriding
protests and adopting Resolution establishing Underground Utility District No. 2, Division 28.
Item 9b. Protest Hearina for Consolidated Maintenance District (Vinevards~. In July 1993, the City and
the Vineyards Community Associations, Inc., entered into Agreement No. 93-132, delegating maintenance
responsibilities for certain landscape areas, adjacent to the Vineyards, to the Association in exchange for
reduced maintenance distdct assessments. In August 2000,-the Association requested that this agreement
be terminated and the previously delegated maintenance responsibilities be returned to the City. In order
for the City to terminate the agreement and assume maintenance responsibilities, assessments must be
increased. Assessments in this area will increase from the current $1t.54 to $57.14 per single family
residence. A notice and Proposition 218 ballot has been sent to each property owner within this area.
Staff recommends overriding protests and adopting the resolution.
Item 9d. Hearina to consider a resolution estabiishina sewer user charaes. At the April 25, 2001, Council
meeting, a hearing was held to establish Sewer and Storm Sewer Service User Charges for the 2001/02
Fiscal Year. In addition, the proposed Revenue Program for the Wastewater and Storm Facilities was
submitted for Council approval. During the hearing, a constituent spoke in opposition to the proposed
increase for nursing homes. Questions arose regarding the fairness of the proposed fee increase for the
nursing homes category. After Council discussion, this item was referred to the May 3, 2001 meeting of
the Budget and Finance Committee for further review. Staff was also directed by Council to contact the
State and determine if the State would approve a Revenue Program in which proposed rate increases were
phased in over a longer period of time than the staff recommended 3 year phase-in period for various user
groups. Subsequent to the Budget and Finance Committee meeting, it became apparent that the rates for
hospitals would increase dramatically if a flow basis were to be used as proposed for the nursing homes.
As a result, staff recommends that hospitals remain on the flat rate schedule as identified at the April 25,
2001, Council meeting with the exception that the phase-in period for the proposed rate increase be over.
7 years, which is the maximum allowable by the State, rather than staff's initial recommendation of 3 years.
This would give staff the time needed to meet with each hospital individually and discuss the impact of
going to a flow charge basis and options available to them, such as installing a separate meter for
landscaping. All other fee increases recommended at the April 25,2001 City Council meeting are again
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
May 11, 2001

proposed. Thee fee adjustments are mandated by the State. With the actions of the Budget and Finance
Committee, we are softening them as much as the State will allow.
Item 9e. Aooeal bv Mary Bertolucci to the Board of Zonino Adiustment's approval of a Conditiqnal Use
Permit to allow a residential alcohol and druo rehabilitation/recovery facility, and a modification tO allow {~
reduction in reduired off street oarking at 1605 Pacheco Road. In April 2001, the Board of Zoning
Adjustment unanimously approved a residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation/recovery facility at an
existing triplex. This triplex is within a group of six triplexes that front Pacheco Road all under separate
ownership. The facility is proposed to incorporate all three units of this triplex under the applicant's
ownership. Parking exists to the rear off an alley for all of the triplexes. The applicant has, however,
requested a modification to the parking standard to use what spaces exist for this triplex (7 spaces), as
the clients are prohibited from having vehicles and parking is only needed for staff and occasional guests.
Two of the three triplexes units are presently occupied by 5-6 people each under the program. The two
occupied units have been refurbished and the third is underway. The Board heard testimony in both
support and opposition to the proposal. Two petitions were submitted signed by a total of 130 people
opposed to the proposal. The main issues from the opponents concerned the amount of supervision,
number of people that would be living in the units ,and the negative influence the program's presence
would have-on children living in the area as many children walk by the triplex to school and a school bus
stop is nearby. Twenty Two people spoke in support of the proposal. They stated that since the building
has been occupied by the applicants's clients during renovation of the units, the neighborhood has seen
a decrease in gang and drug activity. The proponents stated that the organl~.ation's presence has been
a positive influence and welcome addition to the neighborhood. The Board's decision to approve the
request was based on the facts and testimony brought fourth during the hearing that the facility~would be
a positive influence in the neighborhood. The applicant will be required to meet all building and fire safety
requirements such as proper exiting and fire suppression/alarm systems. A permit from the state Alcohol
and Drug Programs will be necessary. Staff recommends that the appeal be denied.

with Castle and Cooke Development to "exchange" the project site for another 10-acre school site located
less than one-half mile east, at the southwest corner of Campus Park and Old River Road. At the Planning

Resolution of Intention No. 1241 preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public Works
Director's report for the Consolidated Maintenance Distdct and the 2001-2002 budget; setting
time and place for hearing protests on the amount of park landscaping assessments to be
levied throughout the Consolidated Maintenance District. (All wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: This year all new territories were added directly to the Consolidated Maintenance District
at the time of their formation.
This Resolution preliminarily approves the Public Works Director's Report which includes the 2001-2002
budget for the Consolidated Maintenance District.
Last year the City Council approved a 66% subsidy for the cost of park maintenance for City assessments.
This percentage represents the level of general benefit for park maintenance for parcels outside the
Consolidated Maintenance District.
Again this year, assessments will not be increased. Assessment rates will remain at the 2000-2001 level. The
proposed 2001-2002 budget for the Consolidated Maintenance District is attached to the Resolution of
Intention as Exhibit "D". The Assessor's Roll, Exhibit "E", is on file in the City Clerk's Office.

Resolution of Intention No. 1243 preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public Works
Director's report for the Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts and the 2001-2002 budgets; setting
time and place for hearing protests on the amount of assessments to be levied throughout each
of the Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Since the approval of Resolution 161-94 on September 28, 1994, which provides for the
collection of maintenance and operating costs for "convenience" traffic signals, the Council has approved Four
Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts, TS-1 (Marketplace), TS-2 (NW Promenade), TS-3 (Rosedale, Jet Way)
and TS-4 (Gleneagles). The Bakersfield Municipal Code requires an annual hearing to set the assessments
for each parcel. To simplify the hearing process, due to the small number of property owners, the hearings
for all Four districts will be combined. Budgets for each district will remain separate. Assessments are not
being increased for any of the four districts. All districts are therefore exempt from the procedures and
approval process of Proposition 218.
This resolution preliminarily approves the Public Works Director's Report, the 2001-2002 budgets and sets
the protest hearing for the Council meeting on Wednesday, June 13, 2001.

Resolution adding territory, Area 1-22 (Commerce, Truxtun) to the Consolidated Maintenance
District and confirming the assessments, approving the Public Works Director's Report and
authorizing collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector. (Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of Parcel D of
Parcel Map Waiver P99-0600, to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by Section
13.04.021 of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the
maintenance of median and street landscaping. Area 1-22 is generally bounded by Truxtun Avenue on the
north, the northerly prolongation of Commerce Drive on the east, a line 648 feet north of the south line of
Section 26 on the south and the west line of Section 26 on the west. This area will be under the streetscape
zone of benefit and assessed an amount for street "tier 1".
The addition of this territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property described above which waives the
public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite
the maintenance district process, to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The owner also has submitted a
Proposition 218 ballot indicating his consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated
Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has
been drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider/developer to be recorded with any future subdivision maps.
A copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

Resolution Approving Application for $68,277 in State Funds for Recycling Beverage
Containers
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Adoption of Resolution
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Section 14581(a)(4)(A) of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act,
the Department of Conservation's Division of Recycling is required to distribute a total of $10.5 million to
eligible cities and counties for beverage container recycling and lifter cleanup activities.
As part of the effort to comply with the AB 939 goal of diverting 50% of the wastestream away from landfills,
Bakersfield operates eight dropoff recycling centers, which accept glass and plastic beverage containers:
Bakersfield College, California State University, Fred L. Thompson Junior High, Tevis Junior High, Valley
Plaza, Lowell Park, Endeavor Elementary School, and Westchester Shopping Center. All revenues from the
sale of recyclables become property of the site hosts.
If approved, the attached Resolution would authorize staff to apply for $68,277 in additional funding for FY
2001-02, that would be used to supplement the dropoff recycling program, which costs $190,000 this year
to operate.

Resolution authorizing deferral of assessment for Roy Degeer on parcel within City of
Bakersfield Assessment District No. 91-1 (Hosking Trunk Sewer). (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption .of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On September 19, 1992 the City Council confirmed and approved Assessment
Distdct No. 91-1. Parcel number 515-110-13-00-3 (Assessment No. 100) belonging to Mr. Gordon
Slater was assessed based on its land use designation per the City of Bakersfield 2010 General
Plan, just as all other parcels within the district were assessed. The land use for this parcel allowed
a maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per 600 square feet for R-4 zoning, but the actual zoning on
this parcel was R-2.
During the assessment hearing process, the property Owner registered a complaint regarding the
assessment spread method used. Staff revised the assessment and determined that a maximum
density based on an R-3 zone (1 dwelling unit per 1250 square feet) would be more reasonable for
that parcel. In the final Engineer's Report, the assessment against this parcel was reduced from
$38,782.51 to $18,325.97 reflecting the R-3 zoning. The Council further directed staff to prepare a
deferral of that portion of the assessment which represented the difference between R-3 zoning and
R-2 zoning. This deferred portion of the assessment was due and payable with interest if any
development entitlement occurred on the property or if the property ownership was transferred.
Additionally, the deferral must be requested annually by the property owner so that staff may
determine if sufficient funds remain in the reserve fundto pay the deferred amount, which is due
annually to the bond holders.
Mr. Slater subsequently sold this parcel to Mr. Roy Degeer. The parcel received in 1994 its actual
assessment based on R-3 zoning, plus the past deferred amounts. Mr. Degeer made a request of
May 1, 2001, 4:51PM
G:\GROUPDAT~.DMINRPT~.001\May 16\01 degeer91-1 .wpd
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
the Council for continuance of the deferral at R-1 status, not R-2. This request was referred to the
Urban Development Committee on June 16, 1995. The Committee instructed staff to prepare a
resolution deferring the assessment representing the increase from R-1 to R-3 land use. This
deferral will have to be requested annually by the property owner, and will be due and payable with
interest if any development entitlement occurs on the property or if property ownership is transferred.
Additionally, the attached resolution also provides that the pamel owner may construct one single
family residence on the parcel without causing the total deferred assessment to become due and
payable.
The portion of the billed assessments, which have been deferred to date on said parcel, is
$10,609.57. The current amount to be deferred for installments due December 10, 2001 and April
10, 2002 is $1,527.12, for a total deferred assessment amount of $12,136.70. The deferred
assessment payments will and can be made from the available funds of the District, including but
not limited to interest earnings and unexpended proceeds.
The City Clerk has received a letter from Mr. Degeer requesting deferment of his assessments for
this year. Therefore a resolution has been drafted to allow City Council to defer his assessments
(see attached).
The Finance Department has confirmed that the special assessment has been paid for the fiscal year
2000-2001.

Resolution determining that a fully integrated police information system cannot be
obtained through the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director
to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $1,077,212.
Appropriate $181,995 California Law Enforcement Program (CLEEP) Funds from
the State of California and $150,000 Council Contingency to the Supplemental Law
Enforcement Services Fund for purchase of the Records Management System.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution, approval of the AGREEMENT and authorization of
appropriations thereof.
BACKGROUND:
In 1994 the Bakersfield Police Department pumhased its current Records Management System (RMS)
from Tiburon, Inc. The system has been upgraded and customized, both coming with hefty price tags.
Unresponsive and expensive service have accompanied the Tiburon system from its inception. The
system is text based rather than windows based and because of its non-intuitive nature goes unutilized by
many officers. The current Tiburon RMS is a "closed amhitecture" product that does not easily interface
with off the shelf products that are available for enhanced functionality.
In January 2000, the police department formed a committee to research alternatives to our RMS. The
committee members include the department's Records Manager, Property Manager, and the
Communications Manager. The City's Management Information System Director, Bob Trammell (also a
committee member), assisted us in arranging for demonstrations from six leading law enforcement RMS
vendors, including Tiburon. One of the goals of this technology committee has been to simplify the effort
and processes used for data entry and retrieval.
Committee members and MIS staff wrote and electronically distributed an Information Systems survey.

ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORT
Committee members contacted numerous other law enforcement agencies regarding their experience
with information systems, specifically RMS and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD). The committee
discovered many commonalities with other agencies: product performance issues, and more frequently,
most companies were plagued with service problems. The committee began to repetitively hear the
terms 'ffully integrated," "seamless delivery of records information," and '~vireless upgrades to records
management."
The committee became aware of a Canadian software company named Versaterm. In an on-line survey
regarding RMS, CAD, and Mobile Data conducted by Las Vegas Metro Police in 2000, Versaterm was the
"most praised" software. The biggest issue with these agencies was service after the sale. The "least
praised company" was Tiburon.
In May 2000, committee members traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, a site where Versaterm has installed a
combination of their systems with both city and county law enforcement agencies. This visit confirmed
much of what the committee had heard of Versaterm - they are a solid company, devoted to customer
service and satisfaction, and have user-friendly products that when fully integrated together, provide
phenomenal and unequaled data exchange capabilities. While other vendors can show a form of a fully
integrated Records Management System, Versaterm is the only vendor that could demonstrate a fully
functional RMS update function initiated by a command in the field that was operational at an agency our
size or larger. The committee recognized the advantages of this feature and through research, verified
that while other vendors claim to have this capability, their systems either lack this specific function to the
extent of the Versaterm product, or they are unable to demonstrate it operational with the features that
Versaterm offers.
In September 2000, Versaterm representatives demonstrated their RMS product to the technology
committee. In late September, members of the committee, including Bob Trammell, met with
representatives from other agencies using Versaterm software. In Canada, Versaterm has eighteen law
enforcement customers, including the Ottawa Police Department (population one million, 1100 officers)
and the London Police Department (population 350,000, 500 officers). Their United States customer
base consists of eight agencies, including Tampa, Florida, Salt Lake City and County, Utah, Sacramento,
Ca, and Austin, Texas. Without exception, these representatives echoed the findings of our research.
With the Versaterm RMS product, we have opted to utilize an Oracle Database which is supported by the
City's MIS staff. The Versaterm product is open architecture and interfaces easily with several common
products. This will enhance the department's crime analysis capabilities, administrative reporting
functions, and utilization of geographic information systems information. The Versaterm system
promotes and enhances the area command concept of policing.
Council has approved and appropriated $500,000 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funds from
the State of California and $245,217 Bureau of Justice Assistance Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
Funds and approved $181,995 CLEEP Funds to purchase the Records Management System. In order to
provide additional funds needed for the purchase, the police department is requesting appropriation of
the CLEEP funds, and approval and appropriation of $150,000 from the Council Contingency Fund.

2) Revised Job Specifications: Telecommunicator 1/11 to Police Dispatcher 1/11.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the title changes and revised job specifications.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department has requested a title change from Telecommunicator 1/11 to Police Dispatcher 1/11. The
title change is being proposed because it is more descriptive of the position and will enhance recruitment
efforts, in this process, minor changes were made to the job specifications.
Summary:
The title changes and r~vised job specifications were approved by the Police Civil Service Board at their
regular meeting on April 4, 2001. There is no budgetary impact because the salaries for the two positions
will remain the same. CCAPE concurs with the proposed recommendation.

Agreement with Valley Achievement Center for $15,000 of Community Development Block
Grant funds to purchase property located at 7300 Ming Avenue. (WARD 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
On August 30, 2000, City Council approved CDBG Amendment #15, allocating $15,000 of Community
Development Block Grant funds to provide down payment assistance to Valley Achievement Center (VAC)
towards the purchase of the facility it now leases. Valley Achievement Center has leased the 7300 Ming
Avenue facility since 1996. VAC has the opportunity to purchase the facility for approximately $700,000. The
property is zoned R-l, however, an existing conditional use permit allows the current usage of the site as an
educational center. VAC is requesting $15,000 to be used as a down payment for the purchase; the County
of Kern Community Development Program is funding an additional $60,000 toward's the acquisition. The
remaining funds will be raised through bank loans and a three year grant from the Department of Education
totaling $150,000. The owner is prepared to offer some gap financing, should the need arise. Acquisition
will be completed after all funding is in place, which should be no later than October of 2001.
Valley Achievement Center is a nonprofit organization providing unique services to young adults and children
who are diagnosed with autism. VAC is certified as a non-public school by the California Department of
Education to provide special educational services in its facilities to 50 children and young adults, ages 3 to
30 years. VAC has worked to increase the primary living skills and overall quality of life for individuals living
with autism, since 1996. Instruction includes role play, speech development, and practice drills for learning
daily tasks, such as making a bed, setting a table and doing laundry. Valley Achievement Center is the only
educational facility in Kern County that exclusively serves children and young adults with autism.

Agreement with DBL Entertainment, in an amount not to exceed $39,550, to book and
produce acts for the Rockin' By The River summer concert series. (Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
As indicated in the door to door survey, citizens strongly support concerts in the parks (88%). Partially
based on this, last year the City Council approved additional funding to enhance the Rockin' By The River
concert series. As a result, more than 11,000 guests attended the three week series in 2000. Additionally,
numerous positive comments were made on event evaluations expressing the public's appreciation and
excitement about the event. Due to the event's overwhelming success, the department also applied for and
received two California Park and Recreation Society awards, including the Award of Excellence for poster
design and the District XV Program Award.
This year, the series will take place on August 9, 16, and 23 and will be held again at Yokuts Park.
Due to changes in the market, the cost of bands and production will be increasing slightly, although the level
of entertainment will remain the same. The contract does include Unot to exceed" language which will allow
the overall amount to be reduced if the promoter is able to negotiate a lower rate. In addition, the department
expects to receive additional sponsorships, following last year's success, to help offset the anticipated
increase.

Approve payment ($26,560.20) to Quinn Company for Unanticipated Repairs on Crawler
Tractor.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of payment.
BACKGROUND: A crawler tractor was placed in service in April, 1996, and is used by all divisions of Public
Works, Water Resources, and Recreation and Parks. This tractor is used in the river bottom, with the sand
and grit forming a harsh environment for the undercarriage of the equipment.
Due to the size of the equipment, in excess of 50 tons, the City of Bakersfield has no means to lift the
equipment for a complete inspection, or to complete many repairs. Fleet Services Division employees could
determine the tracks, links, bolts, etc., showed extensive wear and contacted the local service company,
Quinn Company. Quinn Company provided an estimate based on a field evaluation. After receiving the
equipment in their shop, and being able to lift the equipment for a more complete evaluation, the vendor
realized the damage was more severe than originally thought, requiring the replacement of the complete
undercarriage.
The cost of this work is $26,560.20 and is necessary to assure the completion of existing projects and the
safety of the equipment operators.

Authorize the addition of a GIS Technician to perform GIS address mapping for the
Metropolitan Fire CAD and City Police CAD systems.
Approve a reimbursement agreement with the County of Kern not to exceed
$20,000 for salary and benefits costs associated with a GIS Technician performing
GIS address mapping functions
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Staff recommends approval
2. Staff recommends approval
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Fire and Police departments both rely on separate Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems
to create electronic maps to show where streets and address are located when calls for service or
emergencies occur. Both CAD systems important tools in providing public safety services. The CAD
systems are used on a daily basis by Police and Fire personnel in vehicles to view computerized maps that
help them locate particular properties, streets and landmarks related to calls for service. A computerized
"road file" must be updated regularly and maintained so that maps shown on the CAD systems are
accurate. Calls for service could be delayed if the maps displayed on the CAD are inaccurate or missing,
The Police road file data is entered in to the their own CAD system by a Dispatch Supervisor. The
Bakersfield Fire department, on the other hand, contracts with County Fire to enter data into the County's
CAD system. The City currently pays the County for this service.
The recommended action would, in essence, centralize the input of address data into the CAD system by
MIS division of the City, shifting that function away from County Fire and Bakersfield Police departments.
The Police and Fire departments would continue to use different CAD systems, but data entry into the road
file would be performed by a GIS Technician working for the City. There are several reasons for the
recommended change:
May 8, 2001, 1:52pm
C:\Documents and Settings~alaw~enc~..ocal Settings\Temp~VllS Employee & Fire Fund dept admin.wpd
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
1) City MIS staff has technical expertise to properly perform GIS mapping functions,
2) City MIS staff has greater ability to enter data consistently and in a timely manner, and
3) County Fire has agreed to reimburse the City for a proportionate share of GIS mapping
costs.
Cost to the City for taking over the GIS mapping function provides two area of savings. First, the
agreement calls for the County to pay us to take over the mapping function for the Bakersfield metropolitan
area, not just the incorporated City of Bakersfield. In return, the County would reimburse the City up to
$20,000 for updating the road file data for the metro area.
Second, there would be a cost savings to the City of $12,574, which is a reduction in the amount the City
currently pays the County to enter and maintain "road file" data within the boundaries of the City of
Bakersfield. In summary, rather than the City paying the County for these services, the City would
maintain the road file data for the metro area and the County would pay the City for that service. The
reimbursement and budget saving realized by the City would cover most of the cost of a GIS position for
the City. There are excess funds available in the MIS operating budget on an ongoing basis to fund the
remaining amount of the position.
Sources
Reduce contribution to County Fire $12,574
New contribution from County Fire $20,000
Remaining funded by MIS Budget $ 4.682
Uses Cost of GIS Technician $37,256
Authorizing this action would allow the City to begin recruitment for the new GIS Technician position, which
would take about 3 months to complete. The position would be supervised by the MIS division. There
would be no impact on the current year budget for the new position.
Discussions with the County regarding reimbursement issues took longer than expected so we were not
able to include this position in the proposed FY 01-02 Budget that will be considered by the City Council
this month.
The position will require a reduction in the Fire budget by the amount being reimbursed by County Fire,
and adjusting estimated revenues by the amount of the reimbursement. Staff proposes that these changes
be made along with changes made by the City Council to the overall budget as a result of the upcoming
budget hearings. In other words, all the necessary budget changes would be incorporated into the final
budget.

the Association requested that this agreement be terminated and the previously delegated maintenance
responsibilities be returned to the City. In order for the City to terminate the agreement and assume
maintenance responsibilities, assessments must be increased.
The Vineyards is an area generally bounded by Kroll Way on the north, Gosford Road on the east, Camino
Media on the south and a line 1040 feet west of Gosford Road on the west. Assessments in this area will
increase from the current $11.54 (tier 0.5) to $57.14 (tier 2.5) per single family residence. Increased
assessments will be assessed beginning with the 2001-2002 fiscal year.
A notice and Proposition 218 ballot has been sent to each property owner within this area. As of May 2, 102
yes votes and 17 no votes had been received. Ballots may be returned up to the close of the hearing.

Sewer User Charges:

APPROVED
Continued hearing to consider a resolution establishing sewer service user charges for
Fiscal Year 2001-02 (proposed revisions in sewer user charges).
Acceptance and approval of the City of Bakersfield's Revenue Program for Wastewater
and Stormwater Facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and approval of the Revenue
Program.
BACKGROUND: At the April 25, 2001, Council meeting, a hearing was held to establish Sewer and Storm
Sewer Service User Charges for the 2001/02 Fiscal Year. In addition, the proposed Revenue Program for
the City of Bakersfield Wastewater and Storm Facilities was submitted for Council approval. As reported in
a previous Council meeting, the proposed Revenue Program was necessary to implement for the following
reasons:
The current rate structure did not adequately reflect a "fair share" approach to the actual costs of
treating effluent for some user groups (some user groups pay too much, while some too little).
The City received three Federal Clean Water Grants and one State Revolving Fund loan for treatment
plant expansions, all of which required an approved Revenue Program.
The State threatened sanctions and penalties if the Revenue Program was not updated in accordance
with current State guidelines.
During the hearing, a constituent spoke in opposition to the proposed increase for nursing homes. Questions
arose regarding the fairness of the proposed fee increase for the nursing homes category. After Council
discussion, this item was referred to the May 3, 2001, Budget and Finance Committee for further review. Staff
was also directed by Council to contact the State and determine if the State would approve a Revenue
Program in which proposed rate increases were phased in over a longer period of time than the staff
recommended 3 year phase in period for various user groups.
At the May 3, 2001, Budget and Finance Committee meeting, 2 constituents (the one who protested at the
Council meeting, plus one additional) spoke in opposition to the increased rates for nursing homes. They both
stated the fee proposal was too high since their particular nursing home establishments contribute relatively
Page 2
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
small volume of sewage. Staff pointed out that the proposed rate was based on average usage for the
category and could be modified to an actual usage basis like other existing commercial accounts.
Staff distributed a packet regarding the sewer user rates at the Budget and Finance Committee meeting. This
entire packet has been included for reference. The information provided included various options for extending
the term of implementation, with the rate impact of each option, summarized for hospitals, nursing homes, and
schools. In addition, the report shows the subsidy, which will be borne by other users, for each of the phase
in options. It is important to note that the subsidies on Attachment C of the Budget and Finance Committee
packet have changed. The reason for this is because each of the user groups (hospitals, nursing homes, and
schools) realized the least impact of the proposed rate increases under different options.
After some discussion, the Budget and Finance Committee directed staff to:
· identify alternatives for hospitals, nursing homes, and schools which offered the least impact to these
users while still complying with the State guidelines; and
· modify the rate structures for nursing homes and hospitals from the average "fiat rate" charge to a
usage rate; and
· implement the increase over the longest period of time the State would allow.
Subsequent to the Budget and Finance Committee meeting, it became apparent that the rates for hospitals
would increase dramatically ifa flow basis were to be used as proposed for the nursing homes. As a result,
staff recommends that hospitals remain on the fiat rate schedule as identified at the April 25, 2001, Council
meeting with the exception that the phase in period for the proposed rate increase be over 7 years, which is
the maximum allowable by the State, rather than staff's initial recommendation of 3 years. This would give
staff the time needed to meet with each hospital individually and discuss the impact of going to a flow charge
basis and options available to them, such as installing a separate meter for landscaping.
For hospitals, the method most advantageous would be to phase in the proposed fiat rate increases over a
period of years so that the increase is limited to approximately 15% per year, exclusive of future cost of living
adjustments (This option is described in the attached packet which was supplied to the Budget and Finance
Committee.). As noted earlier, staffwill meet with the hospitals regarding the flow charge basis. This equates
to a 7 year phase in period for hospitals, as noted above. For schools, phasing in the fiat rate increase equally
over a 5 year period would offer the least impact. The rate schedule for nursing homes is recommended to
change from a per bed flat rate to a per facility fiat rate plus flow charges. The majority of the nursing homes
will realize a decrease with this conversion, although there are a few facilities that would realize an increase.
Based on the direction from the Budget and Finance Committee and subsequent information identified by
staff, sewer user rates for the upcoming fiscal year for the 3 categories in question are proposed to be as
follows:
FY01-02 Original Proposal FY01-02 Modified Proposal
· Nursing homes (3 year phase in) $42.94/bed $175.50/facility+flow charges
· Hospitals (7 year phase in) $46.80/bed $39.68/bed
· Schools (5 year phase in) $3.98/student $3.79/student
The majority of the following information was given to the City Council at the April 25'h meeting. This text is
repeated for informational purposes and it represents an overview of the revenue program, as modified by the
Budget and Finance Committee:
Single family dwellings are proposed to increase 1.74%, from $115 to $117. No rate change is proposed for
multiple dwellings or mobile homes. These residential user groups comprise 94% of all customers.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page3
Commercial and industrial user groups comprise 6% of all customers. Of this 6%, annual flat rate fees for 58%
of these customers will increase 9%. However, 38% of these customers will actually realize a fiat rate fee
decrease. 2.6% of these customers will realize an increase greater than 9%. The remainder will realize a
o:L74% increase.
Schools, nursing homes, and hospitals have been modified as described above.
The proposed fiat rate fees will be:
User Group
Single Family Dwelling
Mult. Dwelling/Mobile Home
Small Stores & Nurseries
Combination Store & Office
Hospitals
Church
Schools
Hotels - Motels
All other Commercial &
Industrial Users*

$3.57/Student $3.79/Student
$34.50/Room $35.10/Room

*Nursing homes will now be included in this category.
The following are examples of the impact of the proposed fiat rate fees:

Users-Examples Current Fee Proposed Fee (as modified)
High School $2,592 $2,755
Hospital $6,222 $7,142
Hotel $4,140 $4,212
In addition to the fiat rate charqesl surchame fees are charged to commercial (which now includes nursing
homes) and industrial users (6% of all customers) whose demand of the Treatment Facilities exceed baseline
amounts for fiat rate volumes. Approximately half of the commercial and industrial users may be subject to the
~urcharge rates. Previous surcharge fees included Schedule "A", Schedule "B", and "Monitored Users". In
accordance with current State guidelines, the updated revenue program assigns the same surcharge fee to
all users, with the fee dependent upon each users flow and strength of that flow. Of the three components
(flow, BOD, and TSS) of the proposed surcharge fee, staff recommends that the surcharge rate for the flow
component be phased in over a 3 year period because of its impact on some commercial and industrial users.
Informational letters, describing the impact of the proposed surcharge fees, were mailed to all "Monitored
Users".
The proposed surcharge fees will be:
FY00-01
Comoonents Current Fee
Flow, MG $469.30-$703.40/MG/yr.

Appeal by Mary Bertolucci to the Board of Zoning Adjustment's approval of a conditional
use permit (No. P01-0106) to allow a residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation/recovery
facility serving up to 28 clients with 2 to 3 staff members within 3 adjacent apartment
units in an R-2 (Limited Multiple-Family Dwelling) zone district, and a modification to
allow a reduction in required off street parking from 21 to 7 spaces, located at 1605
Pacheco Road. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the appeal be denied.
BACKGROUND:
On April 10, 2001, the Board of Zoning Adjustment unanimously approved a residential alcohol
and drug rehabilitation/recovery facility at an existing triplex for Mr. Gil Anthony, Executive
Director of the Exodus House (applicant). This facility is proposed for a total of 28 clients plus 2-3
live-in staff counselors. Facility staff will provide 24-hour oversight in three, eight-hour shifts.
This triplex is within a group of six triplexes that front Pacheco Road all under separate ownership.
The facility is proposed to incorporate all three units of this triplex under the applicant's
ownership. Parking exists to the rear off an alley for all of the triplexes. The applicant has,
however, requested a modification to the parking standard to use what spaces exist for this triplex
(7 spaces), as the clients are prohibited from having vehicles and parking is only needed for staff
and occasional guests.
Two of the three triplex units are presently occupied by 5-6 people each under the program. The
applicant had acquired the triplex in 1997 but due to finishing another project and needing time to
remove the previous tenants, it wasn't until recently that they could devote resources to improving
these units. The two occupied units have been refurbished and the third is underway. It appears
that there was some confusion as to whether a conditional use permit was required before the
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 2
applicant began operating out of this triplex. However, once staff was provided with a program
operation description and it was determined a conditional use permit was necessary, an
application for a conditional use permit was filed.
The Board heard testimony in both support and opposition to the proposal. Two petitions were
submitted signed by a total of 130 people opposed to the proposal. Seven people spoke during
the meeting in opposition. The main issues from the opponents concerned the amount of
supervision, number of people that would be living in the units, and the negative influence the
program's presence would have on children living in the area as many children walk by the triplex
to school and a school bus stop is nearby.
Twenty-two (22) people spoke in support of the proposal. They stated that since the building has
been occupied by the applicant's clients during renovation of the units, the neighborhood has
seen a decrease in gang and drug activity. Statements were also made that the program has
benefitted participating individuals in becoming productive citizens. The proponents stated that
the organization's presence has been a positive influence and welcome addition to neighborhood.
The Board's decision to approve the request was based on the facts and testimony brought forth
during the hearing that the facility would be a positive influence in the neighborhood. Occupancy
was a major concern and the Building Division staff was directed to visit the site and measure
sleeping rooms to determine the maximum occupancy. It was found that the facility could
accommodate a total of 21 occupants (includes both clients and staff). Staff is recommending that
condition #3 be changed to reflect this total occupancy of 21 people.
The applicant will be required to meet all building and fire safety requirements such as proper
exiting and fire suppression/alarm systems, In addition, a permit from the state Alcohol and Drug
Programs will be necessary. The applicant is currently working with this state agency regarding
acquisition of necessary permits and will pursue completion once the status of this conditional use
permit has been determined.

Legislative and Litigation Committee Majority and Minority Reports regarding Policy on
Reportable Closed Session Action
1) Legislative and Litigation Committee Majority Report No. 3-01
2) Legislative and Utigation Committee Minority Report No. 4-01
RECOMMENDATION:
Legislative and Utigation Committee recommends acceptance of reports. Council action to be determined.
BACKGROUND:
At the Legislative and Litigation Committee meeting of April 23, 2001, the Committee discussed
the issue of reporting actions taken in closed sessions of the City Council. The current practice
is to report an action taken without identifying individual councimember affirming or dissenting
votes. The Committee discussed whether the policy should be changed so that the public would
be informed of both the vote count and the names of dissenting councilrnembers.
It was indicated by the City Attorney that reporting of actions taken in closed session is governed
by state law. Whether reportable actions are reported by vote count or by dissenting
councilmembers is a matter of Council policy. The City Attorney was directed to prepare a
memorandum identifying pros and cons of reporting out actions taken by vote count and by
dissenting councilmembers.
Majority Report 3-01 recommends Council implementation of a policy to make available to the public the
voting record of reportable actions taken by indicating whether or not a vote was unanimous, and if it was
not, to indicate the dissenting votes.
Minority Report 4-01 recommends Council seek further review of the pros and cons of the policy proposed
in the majority report prior to Council decision to implement.
In accordance with Council Resolution 58-96, a Council policy shall be adopted by resolution.

An Ordinance amending Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and Zoning Map
No. 123-18 by changing the zoning from an A (Agriculture) Zone to an R-1 (One Family
Dwelling) Zone on 10.07 acres located on the southeast comer of Campus Park Drive and
Mountain Vista Drive. (#P01-0007) (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council held first reading of this ordinance on April 25, 2001.
On March 15, 2001, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 22-01 recommending adoption of the
ordinance approving Zone Change No. P01-0007. Mclntosh & Associates, representing the Panama-Buena
Vista School District, property owner, has applied to change the zoning on 10.07 acres from an A (Agriculture)
zone to an R-1 (One Family Dwelling) zone on 10.07 acres. The project site is the southeast corner of
Campus Park Drive and Mountain Vista Drive. The applicant is requesting the change in zone to allow for
development of single family residential on the project site.
The applicant states that the site has been identified as an elementary school site for several years. However,
the Panama-Buena Vista School District has agreed with Castle and Cooke Development to "exchange" the
project site for another lO-acre school site located less than one-half mile east, at the southwest corner of
Campus Park Drive and Old River Road. Castle and Cooke Development proposes to subdivide the project
site as part of Revised Vesting Tentative Tract 5940 for single family residential development.
The project site is designated as LR, Low Density Residential, on the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan
Bakersfield 2010 General Plan. The proposed R-1 (One Family Dwelling) zone is consistent with the LR
designation. At the Planning Commission headng, no one spoke in opposition to the request. The applicant
spoke in favor.
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff has determined the proposed project will not
significantly affect the physical environment or existing residential development in the area, therefore a
Negative Declaration was prepared and noticed.
