Upon ~nnexation, the effect would be le~gl_i~ As deXelopment takes place, facilities and personnel will be expanded to accommodate the need.

(See attached analysis: Tax Rate Differences) (1) Police Protection The level and range of this service will initially be on a scale equal to those services provided elsewhere in the City. The "called for" service will initially be minimal due to the present uninhabited nature of the annexed area. The area will initially be served by Police District 12. As development occurs, the men and equipment will be ex- panded as the situation and "called for" services increase. The financ- ing of the required service will come from the incremental increase in general property tax revenues as devehopment and subsequent assessed value increases. There will be no decline in available public safety service as the result of this annexation. (2) Fire Prevention and Suppression The initial level and range of the fire protection service for the area to be annexed will be consistent with the services provided to the urbanized surrounding areas. The nearest City Fire Station is at Akers and Serrano (Station No. 7). The quality of service will not be less- ened under city jurisdiction. The Kern County Fire Station (No. 66) presently serves the County territory in the southwest Bakersfield area. It is located on Stockdale Highway near the Country Club. Presently, there is a reciprocal agree- ment between the County and the City which is called the "Stockdale Plan". The station nearest the call, whether in the City or County territory, will respond first. The City Fire Department has determined through a survey performed by Public Technology, Inc. that an additional fire station will soon be needed in the southwest portion of Bakersfield if the present growth rate continues. The proposed site will be located near the boundaries of the Stockdale No. 10 annexation and will thus supplement the existing City-wide fire fighting capabilities. It will be financed by general tax revenue and/or revenue sharing funds. (3) Street Sweeping and Construction The street maintenance service to be provided to the annexed area does not begin until the City accepts the public improvements installed and paid for by the developers. The level and range of such service will be commensurate with existing City service policy. The maintenance of the streets is paid for by the General Fund of the City of Bakersfield. Street Lighting The level and range of street lighting service to be provided to the annexed area will be the same as provided in any other part of the City of Bakersfield. All equipment and facilities are initially in- stalled at the developers expense and dedicated to the City when the public improvements are accepted by the City, The payment of the util- ity bill is made via the General Fund. (4) Drainage Facilities The level and range of this service to be provided within the pro- posed boundaries of the annexation will be consistent with and coordin- ated with the existing drainage facilities in the southwest portion of Bakersfield. Any developer will be required to install all necessary drainage facilities at his cost and will be commensurate with the ex- existing City drainage system. (5) Sewer Service The proposed annexation lies within the future service area of Plant No. 3. There is only one existing sewer main within the boundary of the proposed annexation. There is one interceptor that runs north- erly along the future alignment of Ashe Road. The facilities that would initially be required to serve this area will make use of this inter- ceptor line. The existing Plant No. 3 has enough remaining capacity to accommodate approximately two years of urban growth assuming that the growth in the southwest portion of Bakersfield continues at the existing rate. The necessary liquid waste facilities will be constructed as the need dictates and as required. Such service will be provided under City jurisdiction using the same development basis as now exists for sewer service provided for other properties within the existing boundaries of Bakersfield--i.e., the developers will supply the sewer mains as develop- ment takes place. (6) Service' of Various Departments of the City Including Resident's Participation in City Elections Upon annexation, residents and owners of property in the affected territory will receive the same services rendered by the various depart- ments of the City as is received by other City residents and owners of property within the City. Most of such services are delivered from the centralized location in the Civic Center. General Tax Revenues will finance this service. (7) Refuse Service The level and range of refuse service to be provided to the proposed annexation area will be the same as now being provided in other areas of the City. As development takes place, residents will receive twice-weekly refuse collection and disposal service through a private contractor. The service to be provided now and in the future will be the same service offered to other owners and residents of the City who are similarly situ- ated as to location and use of their property. General Tax Revenue will finance this service. (8) Water Service The level and range of water service to be provided to the annexed area will be the same as now being provided by the City in the Ashe Water Service Area under Chapter 1.6 of the Municipal Code and is operated and maintained by the California Water Service Company. The developers pay for all extensions of water mains, and upon completion of the required facilities, dedicate them to the City. The service is self-supporting by direct charges to users.
