A. Recreation and Parks Master Plan -Dianne Hoover
Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover gave an overview of progress
for the Recreation and Parks Master Plan. Consulting firm MIG was
awarded the bid for the project. MIG performed a community wide survey,
met with stakeholders, held two public meetings, and presented the plan to
department heads for comments and input. Changes to the North of the
River (NOR) boundaries caused changes to the maps within the Master
Plan, resulting in delays to the final document. As an interim measure, MIG
presented to the Committee a draft executive summary for review. The
summary included methodology, objectives, guidelines, implementations,
strategies, and recommended action items to address the community's
need for recreational, aquatic and sports facilities and programs. Jim Pickel
of MIG thanked staff for their assistance in obtaining information to serve as
the basis for the Master Plan.
The completed Master Plan document will be presented to the Committee
for review at the next scheduled Committee meeting.
B. Report on Jastro Pool -Dianne Hoover
There is a Council goal to maintain the operating pools within the City.
Jastro Pool began to experience significant deterioration and leakage due to
its age. Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover presented to the
Committee a report which provided an overview of temporary pool repairs,
attendance, water usage, estimated cost for continued operation, and staff
recommendations.
With the assistance of the Public Works Department, staff completed
temporary repairs on two major leaks. Although a temporary fix, the repairs
enabled Jastro Pool to open to the public for recreational swim and swim
lessons from July 9, 2007 to August 3, 2007. Jastro Pool experienced
approximately 32,000 gallons of water loss per day. Staff took various
actions to find the source of leakage, including: a standard leak test; video
camera test; dye test; drilling; air pressure test; aquatic design assessment;
and excavation.
Due the opening of the McMurtrey Aquatic Center in 2004, Jastro Pool
experience significant decline in attendance. The pool was closed during
the 2004 season and reopened for eight weeks in 2005, with attendance at
1,002. In 2006, Jastro Pool opened as an instructional pool only, increasing
the attendance to 2, 152. As an attempt to increase attendance in 2007,
Jastro Pool continued as an instructional pool, offering a new cost-free Jr.
Lifeguard program, and family recreational swimming during the evening.
Planning and Development Committee
August 2, 2007
Page 3
During the four weeks of operation in the summer of 2007, attendance
totaled 660.
Prior to opening, staff contracted with Aquatic Design Group to provide an
assessment and cost estimates for continued operation. The total cost of
approximately $2 million would include pool renovation, restrooms and
equipment storage renovation to meet ADA compliance.
Staff recommends to either temporarily repair Jastro Pool as it is or
converting it into a Spray park. The advantages for the new use as a Spray
park include: increased attendance; seven months of free daily water play
for area residents; longer operational hours; and minimal vandalism due to
high usage. Because there is no standing water in the wet play area,
lifeguards will not be needed. Cost to install the wet playground is
approximately $350,000.
Committee member Sue Benham would like staff to provide an average
operating cost per person at the other pools, and provide a report of
potential problems facing Siemon Pool. Committee Chair Jacquie Sullivan
requested that staff provide a map showing the proximity of each public pool
within the City. City Manager Alan Tandy added that the Committee is
facing three choices; 1) Finding the money needed to rebuild Jastro Pool; 2)
Continue with temporary repairs; 3)Relocating the existing pool to another
park and creating a Spray park in its place. All Committee members agreed
that the daily loss of water is a paramount issue. Committee member
Benham also requested that staff provide a preliminary report on other
locations in the City for Jastro Pool.

Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
With a consultant team in place, the Ciry of Bakersfield began
working on updating its Recreation and Parks Master Plan in the
spring of 2006. The purpose of doing a Recreation and Parks
Master Plan is two fold. First, it provides the City with an
opportunity to assess its past and future growth and where it is in
terms of providing the needed facilities and programs to serve
that growth. Secondly, it provides the Ciry with an updated
Master Plan suggesting policies, park standards, current and
future needs assessments, analysis of facility conditions and
funding/financial recommendations which results in a current
strategic planning document allowing the City to address the
needs, issues, and demands for recreation programs, facilities, and
parks to better serve the Bakersfield community now and in the
future.
The updated Master Plan is a tool for City Council and staff to
employ when seeking guidelines and strategies to apply to solving
problems or resolving issues associated with the difficult job of
allocating the City's limited resources in the area of Recreation
and Parks.
METHODOLOGY
A comprehensive effort was made to obtain information to serve
as the basis for this document. With the assistance of City staff
and other local service providers, an inventory of parks and
recreation facilities located within the City was developed.
Meetings with Ciry staff and interviews with local organizations,
service providers, volunteers, and stakeholders gave the
consultant team insights into the community's attitudes and
feelings regarding park and tree maintenance, landscape
maintenance, park facilities and recreation programs. A
statistically valid citywide phone survey was completed to identify
the community's satisfaction with recreation and park
Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-i
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
maintenance, facilities, programs and their use patterns of City
facilities. This provided data concerning recreation program and
facility needs from residents all over the City. Field and facility
use information was obtained from the various community sport
groups and City staff. Finally, public input was also obtained
through two Community Input Workshops.
OBJECTIVES OF THE
RECREATION & PARKS
MASTER PLAN
/ To identify existing and future needs for recreation facilities.
To identify existing and future needs for services and
programs.
/ To address financial and location issues related to the
dedication or acquisition of park property.
/ To suggest what improvements or additional amenities are
needed in the park system.
/ To gain community input regarding its perceived needs for
recreation and parks.
/ To explore the community's satisfaction with current park,
tree and landscape maintenance.
/ To identify facility use patterns and propose what facilities
the City will need in the future.
/ To suggest policies and guidelines to use when addressing the
issues of allocating limited recreation and park resources.
/ To propose funding/financing alternatives that could provide
an implementation strategy.
To develop a long term needs analysis so that the City can set
priorities for future improvements and facility development.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXISTING CONDITIONS
INVENTORY OF RECREATION AND PARK FACILITIES
The park system within the jurisdiction of the City of Bakersfield
includes over 50 parks, recreation facilities and trails such as the
Kern River Parkway. Table 2-1.1 lists the various park amenities,
such as, picnic shelters, sports fields, meeting rooms, swimming
pools, basketball courts, etc. at each facility. This information is
also available on the Internet and can be accessed through the
City of Bakersfield Recreation and Parks home page.
MASTER PLANNING PROCESS
The Master Plan process was a coordinated effort between City
staff and the consultant project team. The process consisted of
four major tasks: research, community input, analysis and
recommendations. Numerous meetings, interviews, surveys and
site visits were included. Hundreds of hours were spent
researching and analyzing the data collected. Policies, action plans
and recommendations were developed with thought to both
physical and fiscal limitations. The desires and requests of
stakeholders and the political sensitivities of special interests were
considered. Draft sections of the document were reviewed by the
project team and discussed with staff. The resulting document is
the project team's best effort at identifying the community needs
and demands for Recreation and Parks facilities and programs,
and matching those needs and demands to recommended
improvements, new development and future programming.
MASTER PLAN SUMMARY
COMMUNITY INPUT
Community input into the Recreation and Park Master Plan was
obtained a number of ways. Interviews were held with City staff,
School District staff, non-profit agency representatives, Kern
County officials, youth sports organizations representatives, and
other various stakeholders. Two community workshops were
held where residents could speak on the issues of facilities,
Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-v
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
programs, and services. Surveys were distributed. to stakeholders
who were unable to participate in the direct interview process.
Finally, a citywide phone survey was conducted to complete the
citizen input process.
NEW PARK CRITERIA STANDARDS
The City will be receiving numerous new parkland dedications
through future residential development. It is important for the
City to establish park criteria standards so that the parks that
serve these future residents are 1) adequately developed with the
appropriate amenities, 2) properly located so that they are easily
accessible, and 3) built so that the City can easily maintain them
in the future. Chapter 4.0 of the Park and Recreation Master Plan
provides policies and guidelines derived from past master plans,
the City's General Plan and the City's Park Element and
Ordinances for park standards for community parks and
neighborhood/local parks.
The following is a summary of the general criteria for each type
of park:
COMMUNITY PARKS
Community Parks are intended to provide community-wide
recreational facilities and a larger variety of recreation
opportunities than a Neighborhood Park would provide.
Community parks can provide a greater variety of uses such as
swimming pools, athletic fields, community/recreation centers,
cultural centers, picnic areas and gardens. Community parks also
serve the needs of the neighborhoods within close proximity of
the park.
Usable size for Community Parks is usually between 20 to 40
acres. However, when land is scarce, community-serving facilities
can be located on as little as 10 acres. A Community Park usually
services several neighborhoods within a radius of three to five
miles. Each Community Park should have a minimum base level
of development as identified in Chapter 6.11.
Page -ES-vi Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
NEIGHBORHOOD/LOCAL PARKS
Neighborhood/Local parks are intended to provide for the daily
recreation needs of residents in the immediate vicinity of the
park. Primary uses can include passive open space, active play
areas, picnic areas and practice play fields with limited lighted
facilities. Usable size is usually between five to 15 acres. Although
a neighborhood park should not be less than five net acres in
size, the Ciry may be forced to include neighborhood park
facilities on 3- to 5-acre parcels (Local Parks) because of either
high land costs or lack of available land. The service area for
Neighborhood/Local Parks is radius of/4 of a mile. Each
neighborhood park should have a minimum base level of
development as identified in Chapter 6.11
MEETING FUTURE SPORTS
FIELD DEMAND
Making better use of existing fields and ensuring that there will be
adequate sports field space in the future was a recurring issue
during the public input process. There are several ways the Ciry
can approach this issue. Chapter 4 contains a number of policies
and action items to implement that will provide the community
with more field use to satisfy their needs. Some of the
suggestions in the Master Plan include:
/ Developing the Bakersfield Sports Village in the southwest
area.
/ Helping youth sports organizations with grant funds to
develop fields and facilities.
/ Making sure new fields are included in future large park
development.
/ Working with the County and State agencies to develop fields
in regional parks.
/ Exploring opportunities for more sports parks in other areas
of the Ciry.
/ Working with School Districts to develop and share field use
when new elementary and middle schools are built.
Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-vii
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the community grows with new residential development, the
need for adequate sports fields will increase, and the City must
position itself to meet this demand. While there is a trend toward
individual sports, such as skateboarding, BMX, rock climbing,
etc., there will always be a demand for team sports, especially in
communities with a high number of young families like
Bakersfield..
PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES
The City, as well as other organizations, including nonprofit
agencies and volunteer group, offers a variety of recreation
activities and services to the Bakersfield community. Human and
Social Services are also offered by the City and Kern County.
An analysis of current recreation programs and activities was
undertaken as part of the Master Plan process. The preliminary
findings were developed using information from program
materials, interviews, the citywide phone survey and Internet
sources along with meetings with staff and community members
at the public workshops held during the process. The surveys
indicated that most residents pursue recreation for fitness and
health. The most popular activities that residents currently
participate in include: picnicking, walking/jogging, youth sports,
instructional classes, swimming programs, and special citywide
family events.
The suggested policies and guidelines contained in Chapter 4 and
the implementation recommendations contained in Chapter 6 of
the Master Plan are offered to enhance the provision and
coordination of existing services and programs and also assist
staff in developing new programs to meet community needs. City
staff already has implemented some of the suggested practices at
least in some part, and does an excellent job responding to the
community's recreation needs. The community satisfaction with
the Recreation and Parks Department's programs and activities
was very high: more than 80%.
Page -ES-viii Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The challenge will be how to continue to respond to a very
diverse community and provide the necessary facilities and
services efficiently and effectively under current budget
constraints. Revenue development must be a major goal for the
future to ensure funding for delivery of park and recreation
programs and services.
The City needs to pursue and utilize all available per capita grant
programs from state and federal sources; continually adjust its
residential park dedication and in lieu fee program to reflect.
current market conditions; consider assessment opportunities to
pay for the impact they have on citywide Recreation and Parks
systems; consider a park fee for commercial and industrial
development; and implement user fees to supplement costs of
City assets, services, and programs. By pursuing these funding
sources the City will position itself to have the money necessary
to meet the future recreation and park facility development
demands of the community.
PARK AND LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE
The public's satisfaction of park and landscape maintenance of
existing parks, medians and parkways is very high. Over 80% of
residents responded that they are either very satisfied or
extremely satisfied with the maintenance level provided by the
Recreation and Parks Department. There are a number of
reasons for this, but mainly the consultants found it was due to
the high degree of dedication to doing a good job and the desire
to meet community expectations that has enabled the department
to achieve such a high satisfaction rate from the community. The
things that the community says it appreciates most from park and
landscape maintenance are such things as, repairs of broken
items, removal of graffiti, pick up of trash, repair of irrigation
systems, cleanliness of restrooms and facilities, park aesthetics,
security lighting, and maintaining proper signage.
The consequences of not providing adequate levels of park and
landscape maintenance include the following:
Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-ix
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
/ Accelerated depreciation of park amenities
/ Increased crime and vandalism
/ Increased gang activity
/ Negative public perception of City operations
/ Decreased property values surrounding parks
Increased renovation costs in the future
The City will be taking on the maintenance and operation of
several new parks in the future as development occurs and parks
are dedicated to the City. It is important for the City to make sure
these parks are designed so that they can be easily maintained and
with the intent that they will produce revenue to offset their
maintenance and operations costs.
CONCLUSIONS
The City of Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Department has
attained a very high degree of satisfaction in the community. The
department's attention to community needs, program desires, and
maintenance requirements has enabled it to receive very high
ratings from the community in the areas of park and landscape
maintenance, recreation programming, and provision of needed
facilities. The guidelines contained in Chapter 4.0 will enable the
department to continue this high degree of service to the
community and guide it when it is faced with making program
and facility decisions in the future.
Chapter 5.0 provides the department with suggestions and
information on a variety of funding and financing options that it
could pursue in the future to accomplish major facility
development.
Chapter 6.0 provides recommended actions to implement the
defined needs for facilities and recreation programs. While all of
the action items contained in Chapter 6 are important and should
be pursued by the City, it is unrealistic to believe the City can
implement everything right away. The following presents afive-
year implementation plan of the priority actions the City of
Page -ES-x Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan -

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Obviously the City's ability to implement the above five-year
work plan will be dependent upon development of new revenue
streams and securing funding for facility development. Chapter 5
outlines possible methods of funding and developing new
revenue to pay for the five-year work plan. The City will need to
conduct a review and analysis of these funding options to
determine what best suits the City both politically and financially.

Proposed Skate Park Development
Report for 10/03/2007 Community Services Committee
CURRENT SERVICE LEVEL
The City of Bakersfield currently provides one skate park, centrally located, and adjacent
to the Kern River Bike Path at Beach Park. The facility was constructed in the year 2000
at a cost of $170,000. It is approximately 14,200 square feet and is considered a
beginner/intermediate facility. We are currently working on designs for the expansion of
this site. The budgeted amount is $150,000, which includes design and construction.
Completion of the expansion is expected in Spring 2008.
POTENTIAL FUTURE SKATE PARKS
• The proposed master park plan for the Old River Ranch Project includes a
19,000 square foot skate park in one park. This will service as the location for a
skate park in the southwest. The skate park will be developer provided in 3-5
years, with an approximate budget of $675,000.
• The Master Plan for the Mesa Marin facility location includes a proposed 15,000
square foot site, at a cost of $765,000. The facility will be a phased in project to
be completed in 3-5 years.
• Another proposed site is East Panama Lane at South Mt. Vernon. This site is
proposed to be approximately 20,000 square feet, and the anticipated cost is
$675,000. This facility is estimated to be built in 5-8 years.
• North Bakersfield Recreation and Parks District is considering a skate park in the
northwest. They currently own several future park sites that could support a
skate park. One area at Fruitvale -Norris Park is being considered. Currently,
there is not a proposed budget or completion date available.

DATE: September 13, 2007
TO: Alan Tay, City Manager
FROM: Dia~e Hoover, Recreation & Parks Director
RE: 2007 Summer Season Aquatics Report
The highly successful 2007 summer pool season is now complete, and the final numbers
of users and revenue are summarized.
Attendance
The summer of 2007 was a banner season for city pool attendance with a total of 90,986
guests. Last summer season, attendance was 58,616 for all pools; an increase of 32,370.
This 55% increase is due to revised swim lessons, more special events and pool rentals.
The positive publicity and favorable weather helped boost attendance at all pools.
Every city pool in regular operation has increased in attendance:
Pool % Increase
Jefferson Pool 32%
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Pool 170%
McMurtrey Pool 61
Planz Pool 45%
Siemon Pool 50%
Silver Creek Pool 41 °~
* Jastro Pool was only open for four weeks and did not have an attendance increase.
Revenue
Along with the dramatic increase in total attendance, total revenue increased by 26%. Last
summer, revenue totaled $213,102; this summer revenue totaled $268,565, for an
increase of $55,463.
While the revenue did not show as big an increase, there were many other factors
involved.
• Swim lesson fees were lowered at all city pools as part or our revised swim lesson
program.
• Admission fees were reduced at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Pool
• Free swim lessons were offered to children ages 0 to 5 at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Pool as part of a grant from First 5 Kern.
• The Discount Swim Pass program, which reduces the recreational swimming fee at
all city pools for families meeting HUD income guidelines, was expanded this year.
Over 1,200 Discount Swim Passes were distributed.
Overall Successes
Aquatics staff has done an excellent job this summer in teaching classes and encouraging
more open swim times. Some summer events included Free Swim Day, Float-In-Movie,
Extreme Teen Nights and Family Fun Nights. Each of these events brought in new visitors
to the pool which may have not previously attended. The popularity of the 100 Mile Club at
McMurtrey Aquatic Center has kept lap swimmers coming back each day to record their
miles.
The publicity for the McMurtrey Aquatic Center this past year has been very positive and
continues to generate more interest in rentals, swim team usage and further special
events. It is our goal to continue to offer the facility as a year-round destination for healthy
activities.
Attached Charts
The attached charts provide visuals on attendance and revenues by pool for the 2005..
through 2007 summer seasons. The last chart is a two page comparison of overall
attendance by week at each pool. This is the usual attendance sheet provided in the
Department's monthly report.

Siemon Pool is in need of deck replacement, gutter line replacement, and resealing of the
surge pit. Eventually, all pool plumbing will need replacement; this action will trigger an
expiration of the "grandfather" clauses granted to several items that would need to be brought
into compliance with current codes. The following is a prioritized list of current pool
conditions that we are working to address:

Planz Pool underwent deck and return line reconstruction two years ago. The repairs made
at that time were intended as temporary repairs, rather than along-term total renovation of
the pool. The repairs were successful in fixing select problems and we were able to reopen
the pool to the public within a relatively short period of time.
The following is a prioritized list of current pool conditions that we are working to address:
1 Interior ool surface re uires sandblastin to remove la ers of old aint 1 Year
1 Pool um and motor needs rebuilt 1 Year
1 The stainless steel screen and latter in the sure it need re lacement 1 Year
2 Perimeter gutters stem is out of level and re uires re lacement 2-3 Years
