BUDGET MESSAGE FROM CITY MANAGER
v
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 2 The decline in development and economic activity over this past year has resulted in
a significant reduction in revenues for the City. This has been reflected in sales taxes being well below current year projections, property taxes showing almost no growth, and declines
in development related fees (building permits, transportation development fees, park development fees, sewer connection fees, refuse service requests, etc.). These indicators of the
slow down in development activity result in a reduction in associated revenue and a lessening of workload demands for development related services. Most General Fund and development
related revenues reflect the reduced economic activity described above. As a result, the proposed budget includes no new positions and the deletion of five (5) vacant development related
positions, compared to forty-one (41) positions added in the FY 2007-08 budget. Two vacant positions in the Public Works department and three (3) vacant positions in the Development
Services department related to development activity are being deleted from the proposed budget, given the decline in development activity and related workload. On the positive side,
the passage of the recent State bond measures will provide some additional road funding and other grant opportunities for City transportation, housing, parks, water resources-related
infrastructure improvements and capital projects. Staff is actively pursuing these funding opportunities. Grants and other special funding sources, such as these, will allow us to continue
our progress with several major capital projects and efforts important to the community. These include the completion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 upgrade; the Thomas Roads
Improvements Projects; the Mill Creek Development; The Sports Village and other projects. This budget includes the continuation of a strong Capital Improvement Program to address the
infrastructure needs of the community. The upgrade of Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 represents the largest single capital project ever undertaken by the City. This project will continue
this fiscal year. The continuation of the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP), road maintenance efforts, new fire station construction, and new park construction also reflect the
City’s efforts and commitment to provide needed infrastructure. These projects are consistent with high priority Council goals and the product of years of planning. Summary of Environment
The overall financial environment results in a more limited ability to address the needs and desires of City departments than during the past few years. Departments are essentially proposing
“hold the line” budget requests which are the result of the reduced amount of revenue growth compared to past years’ budgets. vi
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 3 Even with the slow down in home construction, the City of Bakersfield continues to
work to maintain the services and facilities our citizens expect. The proposed budget provides funds towards several key projects, including transportation, fire stations, parks and
recreational facilities, continuation of the wastewater treatment plant expansion, as well as various repair and renovation projects. Items of Note Contingency – The proposed budget
includes $250,000 in contingency funds for unforeseen events and expenditures. Retiree Medical -Funds have been reserved for future retiree medical liability ($8.1 million for all funds)
under the new rules as part of the proposed budget. Included in this amount is approximately $2.7 million to pay the City share of retiree premiums for FY 2008-09. The $5.4 million remaining
will be set aside to reduce the unfunded liability. The remaining unfunded liability will be addressed over several future years based on actuarial information. Potential COLA Increases
– Negotiations with various employee bargaining units are currently in process and have yet to be finalized. Funds have been set aside for the cost of living adjustments (COLA’s) which
may result from these negotiations. Major Positive Efforts Several important community projects and Council priorities are planned to be accomplished in this budget. Many of these projects
and programs are to address the needs and growth of our community. The proposed budget is consistent with prudent financial planning and continues to dedicate one-time revenues to one-time
uses, including various capital projects. These highlights include: ?? Road repair and reconstruction efforts, with over $16.1 million designated for street resurfacing and reconstruction.
?? Major transportation projects, such as the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) and the Westside Parkway will continue using Transportation Impact Fees, and State and Federal road
funds. The budget includes funding for the completion of Mohawk Street between Rosedale Highway and Truxtun Avenue -$69,400,000, and to construct portions of the Westside Parkway from
Mohawk to Calloway (Mohawk Street to Coffee Road – $64,000,000; Coffee Road to Calloway Drive – $26,000,000; and, Mohawk Street to Truxtun Avenue right-of-way acquisition – $3,000,000).
?? Other transportation related projects, including traffic signals and medians, are planned using targeted funds. vii
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 4 ?? The initial phases of construction will be completed on the Mill Creek project at
Central Park. Additional phases of infrastructure improvements including street improvements, and a new restroom in Central Park will be completed. ?? The development of 65,000 square
feet of commercial, 140 units of affordable housing, and 35 condominiums on property located near Q Street, California Avenue and the Kern Island Canal with a combination of Cal HFA
funding of $4.7 million, a special Brownfield HUD Economic Development grant of $750,000 and a Federal low interest loan of $3,750,000. ?? The design of the Sports Village project will
continue and grading of the soccer fields is planned to begin. This project will provide a significant unique recreational facility to our community and will provide numerous playing
fields and other amenities. ?? The beginning of construction of Fire Station No. 14 in Southwest Bakersfield at Mountain Vista and Harris Road that was budgeted in the 2007-08 fiscal
year. An additional $800,000 has been budgeted for future fire stations. This amount, with the $800,000 previously set aside, totals $1,600,000 towards constructing future fire stations.
?? The $193 million upgrade of Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 which continues construction this year. While we are currently experiencing challenging economic circumstances, our community
is still poised to take advantage of the potential for longer-term future community growth. State Department of Finance figures for January 2007 show our City population has grown to
323,213. Bakersfield remains a community with much to offer and the capacity to make the most of the resources and opportunities available. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The total proposed appropriations
for FY 2008-09 for both operating and capital expenditures is $595,885,848, including $41,400,947 in interfund transfers. Total proposed appropriations in FY 2008-09 for all City funds
reflect reflect a decrease of about $164 million, or -21.6% less than FY 2007-08. Most of the decrease is within the Capital Improvement budget. The Operating Budget is proposed at $391,145,717
which reflects a $7,996,538 increase when compared to FY 2007-08. The proposed Capital Improvement Budget is $204,740,131, which is a decrease of $171.8 million compared to FY 2007-08.
A major portion of this decrease is due to the expansion of Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 budgeted last year for $193 million. The CIP includes funding for future fire stations, significant
Transportation Development Fee viii
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 5 and Federally funded road projects, and use of Community Development Block Grants and
other special funding sources. The City's budget is organized by groups of funds. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity with its own assets, liabilities, equity, revenue
and expenses. The major fund groups and some divisions within the funds are described below, highlighting any significant changes over the prior year. General Fund Major revenue sources
for the General Fund are real and personal property tax, sales and use tax, business licenses tax, utility franchise tax, licenses and permits, State motor vehicle in-lieu tax, miscellaneous
charges for services and interdepartmental charges. General Fund Revenues are projected at $181,174,655 (including $18,307,000 in beginning fund balance and transfers). This is a decrease
of about $8,603,145, or about -4.5% less than the adopted budget revenues for 2007-08 and reflects the economic slowdown. Items contributing to General Fund revenues include: $62.2 million
in sales and use taxes (down from $66.0 million from the 2007-08 amended budget), $66.0 million in property tax, and $34.0 million in other taxes and fees. Also, the above figures reflect
the $16,190,300 of local sales tax revenue captured and repaid with property tax by the State (Sales Tax Triple Flip). Other General Fund revenues, such as charges for services, reflect
decreases due to the slowdown in building and construction activity and reduced services provided by the City with those user fees. Sales tax receipts are down, reflecting the general
economic downturn. Revised revenue projections for 2007-08 are about 6.7% lower than original budget estimates. The proposed budget reflects a modest 1.0% increase in sales taxes over
revised estimates for the current year. As sales taxes reflect general economic activity, staff will be continuing to monitor this revenue source for significant changes. Property Property
taxes also reflect the slowdown in development activity, and actual revenues are expected to flatten, as many newer homeowners are requesting reassessment of their home values to reflect
the reduction in housing market values. Estimates for 2008-09 are based on information from the County Assessor, who projects 0% growth in the upcoming fiscal year for property taxes,
compared to revised 2007-08 estimates. Slowdown in sales tax and building permit fees have resulted in a significant slowdown in receipts for traffic impact fees, building permit fees,
and park development fees, as well as revenues associated with planning processes. We have experienced significant drops in development related revenues during this past year. Projections
for 2008-09 reflect this reduced level of development activity and drop in revenues. ix
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 6 General Fund Expenditures are projected at $181,174,655. This is 4.5% less than the
FY 2007-08 adopted budget. In addition to ongoing operating expenses and personnel costs, $250,000 has been set aside for Council Contingency. The budget reductions in the General Fund
are primarily the result of the elimination of development related positions in departments noted above, the elimination of contract engineering and inspection services related to development,
reductions in transfers out of one-time funds to the Capital Outlay Fund, and various reductions made by departments. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) The CIP provides capital planning
for the City of Bakersfield’s infrastructure over a fiveyear planning period. Revenue sources identified within the CIP may be from grants, taxes, user fees, bond issues, transfers from
other funds, or assessments. Many of these projects are possible, because staff has been successful in obtaining grants and other specialized funds that would not ordinarily be available
or used for ongoing operations. The proposed CIP budget for FY 2008-09 totals $204,740,131. An itemized listing of projects recommended for approval and projects included in the Five-Year
Plan are presented in the CIP section of this document. A few major or significant projects, however, are discussed below. Project Highlights: Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 2007 Expansion
– The Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 Expansion project will double the treatment capacity of this Plant. Based on current growth projections, this extra capacity will serve the residents
of Bakersfield until the year 2025. The core treatment processes are being updated with state of the art technology to produce a quality treated effluent that is odor free. This expansion
project was originally budgeted for in FY 2007-08. The proposed FY 2008-09 budget includes $2 million for a potential amendment to the consulting agreement. A smaller associated project
is proposed for $100,000 to bring a natural gas line for on-site use by boilers, heaters and building uses. This will eliminate the need for on-site propane tanks and reduce annual energy
costs. Federal Road Projects – Several of the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) projects have had funding budgeted in prior years that will cover the work currently underway. The
City and KernCOG have been working with the California Transportation Commission (CTC) regarding the phasing of the Westside Parkway and how that phasing is identified in the State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP). The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes funding for the following phases: • Phase 1: Mohawk Street: Rosedale to Truxtun Avenue – $69,400,000 • Phase 2:
Westside Parkway: Mohawk Street to Coffee Road – $64,000,000 • Phase 3: Westside Parkway: Coffee Road to Calloway Drive – $26,000,000 x
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 7 • Phase 4: Westside Parkway: Mohawk Street to Truxtun Avenue right-of-way acquisition
– $3,000,000 The construction of Phase 4 (Mohawk Street to Truxtun Avenue -$21,000,000) is planned to be funded in the CIP for FY 2009-10. Additional Traffic Signal Projects – A traffic
signal is proposed for Campus Park at Old River Road and is on the Traffic Impact Fee Facilities List, as approved by the City Council. The total project cost is estimated at $247,000,
and the funding sources are as follows: $190,340 in CMAQ funds and $56,660 of traffic impact fees as accounted for within the Transportation Development Fund. Street Resurfacing and
Reconstruction Projects – The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget continues Council’s commitment to the street maintenance program, with $6 million to address citywide street maintenance/reconstruction
issues. The amount budgeted is composed of federal transportation funds of $2,739,118 and a local match of $354,882 coming from the City’s share of state gasoline taxes. There are also
$2.25 million of onetime Capital Outlay Funds and $750,000 of Prop 42 funds which combine for $3 million in funding for road resurfacing. In addition, the operating side of the budget
includes approximately $10 million for street maintenance. Therefore, the CIP and Operating budgets for FY 2008-09 for street maintenance/reconstruction totals close to $16.1 million.
Bridge Construction, Hosking Avenue at SR-99 – The City is currently in the Project Approval and Environmental Document phase for construction of a new interchange on State Route 99
at Hosking Avenue. The FY 2008-09 CIP budget proposed to set aside $4 million for this project. This multi-year project will be funded by developer fees collected through the Transportation
Impact Fee program. Traffic Signal Coordination – A Traffic Monitoring Camera Project to add video capability at two specific intersections is budgeted for $160,000. A Traffic Signal
Interconnect Project to expand the number of signals linked to the Traffic Operations Center is budgeted for $621,000. These projects will be funded with federal Congestion Management
Air Quality (CMAQ) and Gas Tax Funds with the goals of improving signal timing and reducing traffic congestion and vehicle emissions. Sewer Improvements on McCutchen Road to Gosford
Road – $580,000 is budgeted for this project to replace a portion of the sewer lines and manholes from McCutchen Road to Gosford Road. The force main coming out of the new lift station
will be connected to the new 60” sewer line on McCutchen Road that is being built as part of the Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 expansion project. Storm Drain Improvements on Chester
at 17th Street – This $118,100 project will alleviate a drainage problem on this downtown street. xi
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 8 3 Million Gallon Water Storage Tank – This project will fund the land acquisition,
design engineering and site preparation for a new 3 million gallon water storage tank to serve the southwest portion of the City. The tank will be located in the vicinity of Panama Lane
and Progress Road. Water Wells – The construction of three (3) additional water wells estimated at $3,145,000 total will increase
production capacity required by steady growth within the City’s Domestic Water System. Pump Station Upgrades – In order to prepare for emergencies or power outages, $250,000 is budgeted
for the first phase of a new program to add water storage tanks to various water wells. Airport Apron Construction – This project to reconstruct the northwest runway apron will include
design services, drainage and pavement improvements, and aircraft tie-downs at the Airport. The proposed amount of $158,000 will be funded predominately by Federal Aviation Administration
funds. The FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes numerous projects within the Capital Outlay Fund for design, construction, maintenance, and repair of various City facilities. Some of the more
significant projects for FY 2008-09 include the following: Fire Stations /Various Fire Department Projects – For several years, the City has set aside funding for future fire stations.
Other Fire Department capital improvement projects for FY 2008-09 include: $200,000 to equip three (3) Fire Stations with diesel exhaust removal systems; $45,000 to rehabilitate existing
space for a Department Operations Center; and, $38,000 to install dual-paned energy efficient windows at various Fire Stations. $800,000 is also being set aside for future fire stations.
Public Safety Communication Improvements – Two (2) police radio channels will be converted to a digital format as required by the Federal Communications Commission for $300,000. This
is part of a multi-year project to convert all channels to the digital format. Rabobank Theater and Arena Improvements – Two projects that include conversion of an existing concession
stand into an Arena suite and relocation of the Concession stand so it is expanded and can serve both the Arena and Theater are included in the proposed CIP budget to enhance operations
at the Theater and Arena facilities. These projects will also improve our future revenues from both suite rentals and concession sales. The FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes a significant
number of projects to be funded with Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), including the following: Central Park Restroom – Central Park is an integral part of the larger Mill Creek
Project. The existing restroom in Central Park is being demolished as it no longer meets ADA requirements. The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes $450,000 for a new xii
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 9 restroom building that will be more accessible and ADA compliant. The building will
also house a pump station and storage area for the safety and security of park maintenance equipment and the irrigation system. Mill Creek Linear Park – The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget
includes $400,000 for this project. Additional Mill Creek park improvements at 525 18th Street consist of the acquisition of land for future park development, including the location
of the Mill House structure. The replacement of the roof at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center and the design of streetscape improvements on Q Street are also included in the
budget funded by Community Development funds. There are several projects funded in the proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget with redevelopment funds, including installation of a wireless lighted
pedestrian crosswalk for the Village at Baker Street; improvements to the concession area adjacent to the entrance of Rabobank Arena; and various utility infrastructure improvements
at the airport. Lastly, the proposed CIP budget for FY 2008-09 includes several projects that will add or enhance the amenities within several of our City parks. Funding sources for
these projects include both Capital Outlay funds and developer fees collected through the park development fee program to construct parks. Additionally, the amount for reimbursement
to developers who build required parks and are paid back over a number of years as development occurs has been budgeted. Sports Village – The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes
$3.2 million for preliminary design services and to begin grading for the 170-acre Sports Village complex, to be located north of Taft Highway, west of Ashe Road, and east of Gosford
Road. Playground Equipment – Two projects are proposed to replace outdated playground structures with current ADA compliant structures that meet all playground safety standards at Lowell
Park ($125,000) and Corvallis Park ($125,000). Mesa Marin Sports Complex – Mesa Marin will be renovated to provide more field space for the increased number of softball teams and leagues.
The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes $100,000 for construction of four softball fields, a restroom/concession building, and the westerly parking lot. Facilities Reserve -The Facilities
Reserve is set aside for major renovations and repairs to City facilities and is, to some degree, a rainy day account. The balance for the Facilities Reserve at the end of FY 2007-08
will be $5,000,000. The proposed budget maintains that amount as a formal reservation of fund balance within the Capital Outlay fund. xiii
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 10 The FY 2008-09 proposed CIP budget provides a broad based benefit to our community
and its citizens. The budget also allows the City to address infrastructure needs which have been impacted significantly by the growth in our community. DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS In total,
the FY 2008-09 proposed budget shows the elimination of five (5) vacant development related positions for various City departments for all funding sources. These five positions are funded
with development fees within the General Fund. Highlights of major department budget proposals and changes are listed below. Police. The total operating budget for Police is $70,188,123,
which is a 0.6% increase over FY 07-08. This slight increase reflects increases for some operating costs. There is no change proposed in the number of positions for the department. Fire.
The proposed Fire Department operating budget is $31,724,892, which is a 0.6% increase compared to FY 07-08. This slight increase reflects increases for some operating costs. There is
no change proposed in the number of positions for the department. Public Works. The FY 2008-09 proposed operating budget for the Public Works Department includes the deletion of two
(2) development related positions in the Engineering Division within the General Fund. Public Works continues to focus on Council priority items, such as street maintenance and graffiti
removal throughout the community. The proposed FY 2008-09 operating budget includes $9,998,977 for street maintenance. The proposed CIP budget includes $6,094,000 for street resurfacing/improvements.
Therefore, the combined operating and CIP budget for street maintenance totals $16,092,977. The Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) Division of the Public Works Department has been
working on the federally funded transportation projects the City is pursuing, including the Westside Parkway and other TRIP projects. This Division is housed at 900 Truxtun Avenue and
Division staff continue to work alongside Parsons Transportation Group personnel, County of Kern Roads Department staff, and Caltrans staff in the management and delivery of these projects.
The total operating budget for Public Works is $100,959,001, which is a -4.6% decrease compared to FY 2007-08. The decrease is primarily due to deferral of some purchases of replacement
equipment and no additional equipment related to new positions being purchased for FY 2008-09. The Public Works Department includes the following divisions: Administration, TRIP, Engineering,
General Services, Streets, Equipment, Wastewater, and Solid Waste. Funding for the department comes from various sources including the General Fund, Development Services Fund, Gas Tax
Fund, Transportation Development Fund, several Enterprise Funds, Equipment Management Fund, and other special revenue funds. xiv
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 11 Recreation and Parks. The Recreation and Parks Department continues to manage the
growth in the amount of park and landscape acreage it maintains. The proposed budget for FY 2008-09 focuses on maintaining the level of service and meeting the growing recreational needs
for our City consistent with budget constraints. The total operating budget for Recreation and Parks is $18,010,568, which is a -0.9% decrease compared to FY 07-08. There is no change
proposed in the number of positions for the department. Rabobank Arena, Theater and Convention Center. Under the management of SMG, Rabobank Arena, Theater and Convention Center, and
the Ice Sports Center continue to be a success. The Bakersfield Condors, CSUB Men’s and Women’s Basketball, and the Bakersfield Jam all hosted season games in the Arena. Touring Broadway
performances, a broad variety of musical concerts, family oriented shows and special events are presented at the facilities. SMG also manages the booking of the Amphitheater at the Park
at River Walk. Ice Sports Center continues to provide a growing variety of programs and activities for the community. Beginning on July 1, 2008, any ticket for Rabobank Arena, Rabobank
Theater or Rabobank Convention Center will include a $1.50 per ticket facility fee. Exceptions to this are any events produced or promoted by the Bakersfield Condors, the Bakersfield
Jam or Cal State Bakersfield. This fee is common at Convention Center and Arena facilities similar to ours in California and will help offset some of the increased costs for maintenance,
repairs and replacement of infrastructure. These funds will also help defray increases in utilities and other operating costs for these facilities. Development Services. The Development
Services Department has experienced a significant slow down in the levels of development activity over the past fiscal year. In response to the slow down in building activity the FY
2008-09 proposed budget includes the elimination of three (3) vacant Building Inspector positions (a Building Inspector I, a Building Inspector II, and a Building Inspector III) in the
Building Division. The total operating budget for Development Services is $10,284,576, which is a -3.0% decrease compared to FY 2007-08. This very slight decrease reflects the slow down
in construction and the associated decline in activity within the building industry. Economic and Community Development. The General Fund portion of the budget continues to support operating
and administrative costs for Economic Development and Redevelopment programs and activities. The budget also reflects the addition of the Convention and Visitors Bureau as a City operation.
The FY 2008-09 proposed budget includes $1,427,331 for CDBG funded Capital Improvement projects. $65,000 in CDBG funds have been designated as a contribution to the Senior Center, in
addition to $200,000 for Graffiti removal efforts. xv
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 12 Redevelopment: Redevelopment activity is continuing in each of the three Redevelopment
Project Areas, in addition to significant tax increment growth, in both the Old Town Kern and Southeast Redevelopment Project Areas for FY 2008-09. The Redevelopment Budget for FY 2008-09

Mayor. The total operating budget for the Mayor’s Office is $163,406, which represents a 1.7% increase compared to FY 2007-08. The budget reflects funding for Sister City activities
and the Mayor’s participation in special community events. xvi
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 13 City Council. The City Council budget shows an increase of 6.0% which reflects inflationary
increases. Executive. The Executive Department proposed budget for FY 2008-09 shows a decrease of -6.8%. The total Executive Department operating budget for all funds (including Self
Insurance and Equipment Funds) is $18,625,738, which represents a 5.4% increase over the current fiscal year. The increases in the total Executive Department budget are attributed to
operating cost increases within the Information Technology division. City Attorney. The City Attorney’s budget totals $3,328,803, which is a 1.6% increase compared to the current year.
This increase is the result of additional operating costs. Financial Services. The total operating budget for Financial Services is $3,553,698, which represents a 4.1% increase compared
to FY 2007-08. The majority of the increase is associated with additional accounting services services provided to, and funded by, the TRIP program. Enterprise Funds Enterprise Funds
account for business-like activities supported primarily by user charges, such as water and wastewater utilities, refuse, and airport. Water Resources. The total operating budget for
Water Resources is $20,623,034. Agricultural Water Fund. The operating budget for the Ag Water Division is $4,698,380, which is a 5.1% increase compared to the current fiscal year. Domestic
Water Fund. The operating budget for Domestic Water is $15,924,654, which is a 13.6% increase over the current year and is primarily due to increases in new customers. The FY 2008-09
Domestic Water budget includes an increase for the quantity rate for City domestic water service customers. The current quantity rate is $0.79 per hundred cubic feet unit. The proposed
rate will increase by $0.06 to $0.85 per unit on October 1, 2008. A typical residential customer will see a total increase of $1.68 per month. These increases are due to the cost of
new water supply programs, and the operations and maintenance contract. Refuse Fund. Staff is proposing a 3.9% increase in the 2008-09 refuse rates. The annual residential rate would
increase from $174.48 to $181.32, which is a 57 cent per month increase. The increase is intended to cover the refuse haulers’ annual CPI adjustment, which will be 3.9% for FY 2008-09.
The rate increase is also needed to cover operations and maintenance costs associated with refuse service and street sweeping. xvii
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 14 Wastewater Treatment Fund. Staff is recommending a 14.8% increase in residential sewer
user rates, with the exception of a few special users that are having their rates phased in over several years to bring them into compliance with State requirements. Sewer user fees
will increase from $155 per single family home to $178. The increase is due to increased operating and debt service costs, and capital improvements for storm water and wastewater treatment
improvements. Sewer connection fees will increase $300 per single-family household effective on July 1, 2008. The fee for each single-family household will go from $3,100 to $3,400.
This increase will be year three of a five year phase-in period of a multi-year fee program. These additional funds will be applied toward the debt service payments for the Wastewater
Treatment Plant No. 3 Expansion project. Internal Service Funds These funds account for services provided to City departments to support operations such as vehicles and communications
equipment, computers, and liability, property and Workers' Compensation insurance. Equipment Management Fund. The Equipment Management Fund provides for funding of vehicles, telecommunications
equipment, computers, and copier equipment. Rates charged for equipment within the Equipment Management Fund are based on actual costs for depreciation, improvements and replacement,
and are billed to departments on a monthly basis. This year, the budget provides for $147,000 in new equipment and $4,320,100 in replacement equipment where the useful life has been
expended. During FY 2008-09 we are planning to replace 286 computers, 257 monitors, 191 laptops, and 30 printers. Risk Management Fund. The Risk Management Fund provides a self funded
program for general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Additionally, excess insurance is purchased as a member of the Authority for California Cities for Excess Liability
(ACCEL). Special Revenue Funds Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted to expenditures for a specific purpose. Examples are Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), Gas Tax, Federal Transportation Funds and the Transient Lodging Tax Fund. HUD Entitlements: Community Development Block Grant & HOME Investment Partnership
funds come from the Federal Government Department of Housing and Urban Development for the elimination of slum and blight, development of affordable housing and the creation of jobs.
Our allocation of CDBG funds for FY 2008-09 is $3,304,357 and HOME Investment Partnership funds are $1,530,027. These entitlement amounts reflect about a -3.0% decrease in CDBG and less
than -4.0% decrease in HOME for next year. xviii
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 15 These funds will primarily be spent on affordable housing projects, contributions
to agencies for eligible activities and graffiti removal efforts. In addition, CDBG Funds, in the amount of $1,427,331 are proposed for various Capital Improvement Projects in HUD eligible
areas of the city. $400,000 has been budgeted for acquisition of land for the Mill Creek Linear Park Improvement; $450,000 has been budgeted for the reconstruction of the Central Park
Restroom building; $300,000 is budgeted for the roof replacement at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center; and $277,331 has been budgeted towards design of “Q” Street streetscape improvements
between 24th Street and Truxtun Avenue. Transient Lodging Tax Fund was established in July 1998 to account for the general revenues provided by a 12% room tax (M.C. 3.40) and the operation
and debt related to the Rabobank Arena. This includes the contract with SMG for privatization of the operations of the facilities. Revenues from operation of the complex go into this
fund. This fund also includes debt service payments on the arena facility. The operational costs and revenues for the Bakersfield Ice Sports Center are included in this fund. The proposed
budget includes the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) staffed by city employees within the Economic and Community Development Department. Any available Transient Lodging Tax funds,
after taking into account the City’s long term commitments for Rabobank Arena, Ice Sports Center, CVB, etc. are transferred to the City’s Capital Improvement Program. Contributions -In
accordance with Council policy for contributions to non-profit groups, staff is recommending funding for the Bakersfield Museum of Art in the amount of $27,500; Bakersfield Symphony
in the amount of $55,000; and the Bakersfield Senior Center from Block Grant Funds in the amount of $65,000. These are the same amounts as last year’s contributions. SUMMARY The proposed
budget is essentially a “hold-the-line” budget that allows departments to maintain existing staffing and programs. Departments have done their best to prepare a budget within our current
financial constraints that can provide needed services to the public. Staff will continue to be challenged to maintain service levels to meet community growth, public demands and expectations.
This budget was prepared based upon what we know, as of now, and what we believe we can reasonably expect. Pending state budget actions could impact our ability to maintain these funding
levels. Plans are in place to address the potential capture of revenues by the state, should that occur. Our employees have historically shown they are committed to doing the best they
can with the limited resources available. We continue to explore new ideas, technologies, and efforts to cut costs. Staff is continually pursuing alternate sources of funding, grants,
joint projects, and other strategies which offer better and more efficient ways to provide services to the public. xix
Honorable Mayor and City Council 2008-09 Proposed Budget -Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 16 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As is the case every year, this document represents the compilation
of many hours of work by many people throughout the organization. My thanks to the department heads and their business managers, division managers and staff for submitting thorough and
well-prepared budget proposals. Thanks also goes to the budget team headed up by Assistant City Manager John W. Stinson, and also included Finance Director Nelson Smith, Public Works
Operations Manager Brad Underwood, Management Assistant Rick Kirkwood, Administrative Analyst Steve Teglia, Engineer IV Arnold Ramming, Assistant to the Public Works Director Georgina

REVENUES
Revenues The following revenues are the primary sources which make up General Fund and Transient Lodging Tax Fund Revenues. The first nine years of all charts beginning with Property
Tax Revenues through Motor Vehicle-In-Lieu Revenues reflect actual data, the tenth year is projected data based on the latest information available at budget preparation time, and the
final year is proposed. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Funds chart reflects the actual entitlement approved by the Housing and Urban Development Department, but
may not reflect the amount received by the City of Bakersfield within that fiscal year. Projected revenue assumptions are based on a combination of historic trend data and current economic
circumstances, including proposed State budget information and other external factors. The key assumptions in the General Fund revenue forecast for fiscal year 2008-09 were: 1) Property
tax revenues will be flat with 0% growth based on Kern County assessed valuation projections; 2) 2) Sales tax revenue will show a modest 1% increase over current year revised estimates
as a result of the continued decline in economic activity over the past year; 3) Transient Lodging Tax revenues will remain flat with 0% increase compared to current year revised estimates
as a result of flat but stable tourism and convention activity; 4) License and Permit revenue will decrease by 4.0% as a result of the slow down in local construction activity; 5) Motor
Vehicle In-Lieu fees reflect a 0% growth as this revenue is now linked to growth in general property taxes; and 6) CDBG Entitlement will decrease by 3.0% and HOME Entitlement will decrease
by 4.6% compared to the prior year. • Property Tax Revenues -Property taxes are imposed on real property and tangible personal property located within the state. Property is assessed
annually on January 1 by the County Assessor. The State Constitution limits the real property tax rate to one percent (1.0%) of the property's value, plus rates imposed to fund indebtedness
approved by the voters. Cities, counties, school districts and special districts share the revenues from the one percent (1.0%) property tax. The County generally allocates revenues
to these agencies based on their average property tax revenue in the three years preceding 1978-79 and in each year thereafter according to the proportion of property tax revenues allocated
to each agency in the previous year. When territory is incorporated into a new city, the City receives a share of the property tax revenues based on the costs of services assumed from
other governments and the proportion of these costs which had been funded by the property tax. The use of property tax revenues is unrestricted. • Sales Tax Revenues -The sales tax rate
is generally 7.25 percent statewide. The City’s sales tax revenue is realized from the one percent (1.0%) local government portion of the total rate and the .5 percent rate (½ cent)
increase approved by the voters in November 1993 for public safety. 19
Revenues continued The local one percent (1.0%) is distributed based on “point of sale” while the ½ cent for public safety is distributed ninety-five percent (95.0%) to counties and
five percent (5.0%) to cities. The one percent (1.0%) local sales tax revenue is distributed by the Board of Equalization. Cities receive payments on a quarterly basis, with monthly
estimated "advance" payments and a subsequent "settlement" payment to cover the difference based on actual collections. The ½ cent sales tax is distributed monthly. The largest single
classification contributing to sales tax revenues is the sale of automobiles. Sales tax must be received into the City’s General Fund and its uses are unrestricted. • Charges for Service
-A service charge is a fee imposed upon the user of a service provided by the City. Generally a service charge can be levied when the service can be measured and sold in marketable units
and the user can be identified. The rationale is that certain services are primarily for the benefit benefit of an individual rather than the general public. Individuals benefiting from
a service should pay for all or a part of the cost of that service. Fees charged are limited to the cost required to provide the service as prescribed by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution.
These fees are often determined by cities through a cost accounting analysis of the specific service. Service charges differ from license and permit fees in that the latter are designed
to reimburse the City for costs related to its regulatory activities. Some of the charges for service included in this revenue source are: o Maintenance district services -Reimbursements
for costs of operating and maintaining all public improvements which benefit a specific area; o Interdepartmental charges -(Self-insurance and equipment maintenance) to account for the
financing of goods and services provided by one department to another City department on a cost-reimbursement basis; and, o Arena charges -Revenues received from the use of the Rabobank
Arena. • CDBG and HOME Funds -The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds and HOME Funds are federal funds from the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and are provided
to meet national objectives such as benefiting low-and moderate-income families, eliminating blight and/or addressing an immediate or urgent need in the community. While CDBG and HOME
have the same national objectives, they differ in focus. CDBG funds are more flexible and can be used for a variety of purposes including capital projects, economic development, assistance
to non-profit groups and housing. HOME is designed primarily for housing related assistance for the elderly and low-income groups. The City began receiving HOME entitlement funds in
1992-93, which accounts for the dramatic increase in revenue beginning in that fiscal year. • Transient Occupancy Tax -The Transient Lodging Tax is imposed for the privilege of occupying
a room or rooms in a hotel, motel, or other lodging facility, unless such occupancy is for a a period of thirty (30) days or more. The City of Bakersfield has a transient lodging tax
rate of twelve percent (12.0%), which was increased from ten percent (10.0%) in the 1993-94 fiscal year. 20
Revenues continued The use of revenues is unrestricted. Some cities earmark these revenues for certain business activities, business development, a Convention Bureau, etc. • License
and Permit Revenue -The California Constitution gives cities the authority to charge license and permit fees as a means of recovering the cost of regulation. The fees which make up "License
and Permits" include: o Building permits; o Plumbing permits; o Electrical permits; o Mechanical permits; o Street and curb permits; and, o Other use permits and licenses. The City requires
that building permits be obtained to ensure that structures meet specific standards. The City requires various additional construction permits for activities such as the installation
of electrical, plumbing, and sewage facilities. The City charges a fee for issuing these permits in order to recover the costs incurred. • Motor Vehicle-In-Lieu Revenues -The Vehicle
License Fee (VLF) is a special license fee equivalent to two percent (2.0%) of the market value of motor vehicles and is imposed annually by the state in-lieu of local property taxes.
Originally motor vehicles were counted in the local property tax assessment, but for ease of administration and conformity, the State now collects these fees through the in-lieu tax.
In 1998, the State began a series of reductions to the VLF which have ultimately resulted in a 67.5% reduction in the fee. These tax reductions would have resulted in significant local
government losses. Instead, the legislature has replaced the reduced VLF revenues with property tax allocations on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Thus, this VLF in-lieu property tax revenue
has provided cities and counties the same amount of revenue as under prior law. Revenues derived from the motor vehicle license fee are apportioned monthly and distributed near the 10th
of each month. Section 11005(a) specifies that 81.25% of the Base VLF revenues are to be divided equally between cities and counties and apportioned on the basis of population. The use
of revenues received from the motor vehicle in-lieu tax is unrestricted. It is included in the General Fund to help support fire and police services, as well as quality of life services.

Police Services DEPARTMENT GOAL To provide for the safety and welfare of the citizens of Bakersfield through maintenance of effective law enforcement systems, including: Crime Prevention,
Patrol, Traffic Enforcement, Criminal Investigations, Vice and Narcotics Enforcement and Community Relations. FY 2007-2008 ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1. In January 2008, the Department was notified
by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) that it had completed its investigation of the Bakersfield Police Department and was officially closing its inquiry. The DOJ concluded,
after a comprehensive and exhaustive four and a half year investigation into the practices and policies of the Department, that there were no constitutional violations in the patterns
and practices of the Department. The DOJ commended the Department for its cooperation in this matter and deemed the matter closed. This concluded a very significant and trying time for
the Department, but one that has benefited the Department, the City of Bakersfield and the community. The Department critically examined its policies, procedures and methodology of policing
and made numerous changes based on best practices and suggestions from the DOJ. 2. The Department has continued to participate in the Safe Neighborhoods Committee, which, through collaboration
with Council members, City Staff and members of the community works to find solutions to gang related problems in the community. This will continue to be a Department priority in the
ongoing effort to eliminate the impact of gangs and their violence on the citizens of Bakersfield. 3. The Department has continued its involvement in joint City-County anti-gang efforts
and will continue to participate and lead in developing strategies to combat gangs in cooperation with other agencies and organizations within the community. These cooperative efforts
focus on prevention and intervention components as well as suppression of gang activity. 4. The Department has continued in its commitment to a safer community through Crime Prevention
programs and community involvement. The Department has provided a diverse range of community education programs including Personal Safety, Safe Escape for children, Graffiti Awareness,
Senior Safety and a continued commitment to the Neighborhood Watch Program throughout the community. Additionally, the Department is expanding its use of technological information sharing
with the community to educate and increase awareness as well as to link the Department with the community it serves in a common goal of making the city a safer place to live. 78
Police Services continued 5. The Department has implemented a Domestic Abuse Response Team which works collaboratively with the Alliance Against Family Violence to provide additional
service and support to Domestic Abuse Victims, and to reduce the impact of this type of crime on the victims, children and families in the community. 6. The Department has continued
its efforts to plan and implement a system of technological interoperability and data sharing with other Criminal Justice System agencies and partners throughout Kern County. This technology
will provide an enhanced means of sharing data and information with other agencies related to detecting and preventing crime as well as improved communications with other agencies in
the event of critical incidents such as emergencies and natural disasters. The Department has implemented an enhanced communications system which enables direct communications with the
Kern High School District Police Department, Cal State University Police and the Kern Community College District safety office to provide for effective communication and response to
incidents such as on campus violence. 7. The Department continues to seek grant funding to assist in obtaining the necessary resources to carry out its mission. The safety of the citizens
is enhanced by these innovative methods to supplement funding and the Department is continually looking for
new ways to improve the service it provides to the community. 79

BUDGET CHANGES 1. The proposed FY 2008-09 budget reflects Council’s continuing commitment to graffiti eradication. The amount budgeted for graffiti eradication provides sufficient funding
to operate the program seven days a week, year round. No additional positions or equipment are requested for the graffiti eradication program because of Council’s past commitment to
fully fund this program. 2. The FY 2008-09 proposed operating budget continues the City Council’s commitment to the street maintenance program. Approximately $10.0 million is proposed
for street maintenance activities within the operating budget. The proposed CIP budget totals $6.1 million. Therefore, the combined operating and CIP budget proposed for FY 2008-09 totals
close to $16.1 million. 3. Staff is proposing a 14.8% increase in all sewer user fees for FY 2008-09. The residential sewer rate will increase from $155 to $178. Since all other sewer
user fees are based upon this single-family rate, those rates will also increase by the same percentage. This increase is required to fund: • Annual operating costs, • Capital improvement
budget for storm water/sewer collection systems and wastewater treatment plants, and • Debt service on bonds to be issued for Plant 3 upgrade and expansion project. 4. Refuse rates are
projected to increase 3.9% to cover cost increases. The rate increase also covers inflation of 3.9% in the hauling contract. The residential refuse rate will increase from $174.48 to
$181.32, or a monthly increase of 57 cents. 113

NON-DEPARTMENTAL
Non-Departmental This section includes expenditures which cannot be attributed to a single department or division. These expenditures are for services which may impact a number of City
departments and functions. • Retiree Medical Benefits -This item provides for contributions to medical insurance premiums for retired City employees with at least 10, 15, or 20 years
of service credit depending on date of hire, as provided for in various labor agreements. Currently, the City provides benefits to over 300 retired employees. Additionally, due to recent
changes in Governmental Accounting Standards Board pronouncements (GASB 43/45), this account also reflects the cost of benefits earned by current employees during the fiscal year. The
GASB now requires all governmental agencies to recognize the cost of Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) as they are earned by employees rather than when the premium subsidies are
paid • Elections -This item includes funds for the planning and execution of all City elections. • Property Tax Administration -Section 97 of the Revenue and Taxation Code allows the
County to charge all districts in the county for their share of the County’s “Property Tax Administration Cost”. This cost commenced with the 1990-91 fiscal year as a result of state
budgetary action. The cost to each district is based upon its share of the current AB8 tax dollars, plus a share of the countywide Unitary Tax Allocation. • Park Development (NOR) –
This item provides for the allocation of Park Development Fees collected by the City within the NOR Recreation and Parks District towards park acquisition and development by that agency.
• Potential COLA Increases – Negotiations with various employee bargaining units are currently in process and have yet to be finalized. Funds have been set aside for the cost of living
adjustments (COLA’s) which may result from these negotiations. • Contingency -The Contingency fund is intended to cover unanticipated expenditures which the City Council decides to fund
throughout the fiscal year. 177

establishing a fee for the purpose of developing, improving and/or enhancing public parks and recreation facilities serving the residential development. The fee is calculated in relationship
to the number of people residing in the development and the current estimated cost of constructing a park. The fee is set by resolution on a per unit basis. • Transportation Development
Fund -The adopted Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan mandated that a Transportation Impact Fee be developed to mitigate impacts of new development on the regional circulation system.
The City Council adopted the fee program on January 28, 1992 and the Kern County Board of Supervisors adopted a similar fee program on April 6, 1992. The fee is collected at the building
permit stage and the amount of the fee is directly related to the individual project's traffic generation potential. A portion of these funds is allocated to serve as the Local Match
for the Thomas Roads Improvement Program. • Public Financing Authority Operating Fund -To account for the proceeds of $61,025,000 Revenue Bonds issued to purchase City Debt Instruments
(Local Obligations) and the subsequent repayment thereof. 195

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
229
Honorable Mayor and City Council FY 2008-13 Proposed CIP – Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 2 expansion project was originally budgeted for in FY 2007-08. The proposed FY 2008-09
budget includes $2 million for a potential amendment to the consulting agreement. A smaller associated project is proposed for $100,000 to bring a natural gas line for onsite use by
boilers, heaters and building uses. This will eliminate the need for on-site propane tanks and reduce annual energy costs. Federal Road Projects – Several of the Thomas Roads Improvement
Program (TRIP) projects have had funding budgeted in prior years that will cover the work currently underway. The City and KernCOG have been working with the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) regarding the phasing of the Westside Parkway and how that phasing is identified in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP
budget includes funding for the following phases: • Phase 1: Mohawk Street: Rosedale to Truxtun Avenue Avenue – $69,400,000 • Phase 2: Westside Parkway: Mohawk Street to Coffee Road
– $64,000,000 • Phase 3: Westside Parkway: Coffee Road to Calloway Drive – $26,000,000 • Phase 4: Westside Parkway: Mohawk Street to Truxtun Avenue Right-of-way Acquisition – $3,000,000
The construction of Phase 4 (Mohawk Street to Truxtun Avenue – $21,000,000) is planned to be funded in the CIP for FY 2009-10. Additional Traffic Signal Projects – A traffic signal is
proposed for Campus Park at Old River Road and is on the Traffic Impact Fee Facilities List as approved by the City Council. The total project cost is estimated at $247,000 and the funding
sources are as follows: $190,340 in CMAQ funds and $56,660 of traffic impact fees as accounted for within the Transportation Development Fund. Street Resurfacing and Reconstruction Projects
– The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget continues Council’s commitment to the street maintenance program with $6 million to address citywide street maintenance/reconstruction issues. The
amount budgeted is composed of federal transportation funds of $2,739,118 and a local match of $354,882 coming from the City’s share of state gasoline taxes as accounted for within the
Gas Tax Fund. The proposed CIP budget also includes $2.25 million of one-time Capital Outlay Funds and $750,000 of Prop 42 funds which combine for a total of $3 million in funding for
road resurfacing. In addition, the operating side of the budget includes approximately $10 million for street maintenance. Therefore, the CIP and Operating budgets for FY 2008-09 for
street maintenance/reconstruction totals close to $16.1 million. Bridge Construction, Hosking Avenue at SR-99 – The City is currently in the Project Approval and Environmental Document
phase for construction of a new interchange on State Route 99 at Hosking Avenue. The FY 2008-09 CIP budget proposes to set aside $4 million for this project. This multi-year project
will be funded by developer fees collected through the Transportation Impact Fee program. 230
Honorable Mayor and City Council FY 2008-13 Proposed CIP – Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 3 Traffic Signal Coordination – A Traffic Monitoring Camera Project to add video capability
at two specific intersections is budgeted for $160,000. A Traffic Signal Interconnect Project to expand the number of signals linked to the Traffic Operations Center is budgeted for
$621,000. These projects will be funded with federal Congestion Management Air Quality (CMAQ) Funds and Gas Tax Funds with the goals of improving signal timing and reducing traffic congestion
and vehicle emissions. Sewer Improvements on McCutchen Road to Gosford Road – $580,000 is budgeted for this project to replace a portion of the sewer lines and manholes from McCutchen
Road to Gosford Road. The force main coming out of the new lift station will be connected to the new 60” sewer line on McCutchen Road that is being built as part of the Wastewater Treatment
Plant No. 3 expansion project. Storm Drain Improvements on Chester at 17th Street – This $118,100 project will alleviate a drainage problem on this downtown street. 3 Million Gallon
Water Storage Tank – This project will fund the land acquisition, design engineering, and site preparation for a new 3 million gallon water storage tank to serve the southwest portion
of the city. The tank will be located in the vicinity of Panama Lane and Progress Road. Water Wells – The construction of three (3) additional water wells estimated at $3,145,000 total
will increase production capacity required by steady growth within the City’s Domestic Water System. Pump Station Upgrades – In order to prepare for emergencies or power outages, $250,000
is budgeted for the first phase of a new program to add water storage tanks to various water wells. Airport Apron Construction – This project to reconstruct the northwest runway apron
will include design services, drainage and pavement improvements, and aircraft tiedowns at the Airport. The proposed amount of $158,000 will be funded predominately by Federal Aviation
Aviation Administration funds. The FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes numerous projects within the Capital Outlay Fund for design, construction, maintenance, and repair of various City facilities.
Some of the more significant projects for FY 2008-09 include the following: Fire Stations /Various Fire Department Projects – Other Fire Department capital improvement projects for FY
2008-09 include: $200,000 to equip three (3) Fire Stations with diesel exhaust removal systems; $45,000 to rehabilitate existing space for a Department Operations Center; and, $38,000
to install dual-paned energy efficient windows at various Fire Stations. Funding for future fire stations has been set aside in the amount of $800,000. 231
Honorable Mayor and City Council FY 2008-13 Proposed CIP – Letter of Transmittal May 7, 2008 Page 4 Public Safety Communication Improvements – Two (2) police radio channels will be converted
to a digital format as required by the Federal Communications Commission for $300,000. This is part of a multi-year project to convert all channels to the digital format. Rabobank Theater
and Arena Improvements – Two (2) projects which include conversion of an existing concession stand into an Arena suite and relocation of the concession stand so it is expanded and can
serve both the Arena and Theater are included in the proposed CIP budget to enhance operations at the Theater and Arena facilities. These projects will also improve our future revenues
from both suite rentals and concession sales. The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes a significant number of projects to be funded with Community Development Block Grants (CDBG),
including the following: Central Park Restroom – Central Park is an integral part of the larger Mill Creek Project. The existing restroom in Central Park is being demolished as it no
longer meets ADA requirements. The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget includes $450,000 for a new restroom building that will be more accessible and ADA compliant. The building will also
house a pump station and storage area for the safety and security of park maintenance equipment and the irrigation system. Mill Creek Linear Park – The proposed FY 2008-09 CIP budget
includes $400,000 for this project. Additional Mill Creek park improvements at 525 18th Street consist of the acquisition of land for future park development including the location of

City Budget Process The City Budget Process as adopted by Policy Resolution No. 81-97 is intended to provide guidelines for the preparation of the annual City budget whereby the City
Manager provides to the full City Council an overview of the City’s fiscal position and the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Subsequently, each department head presents
an oral presentation of their departments proposed activities, programs and financial requirements. The City Council considers and reviews the budget information as presented by the
City Manager and Departments and adopts the budget no later than June 30th of each year. The Council may at any time refer specific budget issues to the Budget and Finance Committee
as necessary. 278

Operating Budget The City of Bakersfield's Operating Budget is a planning document that mirrors the City Council's established goals and policies. By providing service delivery based
on City Council Goals and Guiding Principles, City departments ensure that the activities they undertake are those that are articulated by the City Council, and are important to the
community. Since the Operating Budget implements Council Goals and Policies, it is only natural that the budget document highlights specific program service objectives and action statements
that demonstrate how those goals and policies will be realized. Annually, City departments develop action plans that target progress toward or successful completion of Council goals.
While funding for departmental budgets is prepared using a line-item budget – a budget that focuses on what is to be purchased – overall decisions and long-range planning efforts are
concentrated at the program level. This essentially means that the City Council is looking at service service delivery from the perspective of providing viable, quality programs to the
citizens of Bakersfield. STRUCTURE OF THE OPERATING BUDGET Within each department category is a hierarchy of what constitutes the Operating Budget. This hierarchy, which is detailed
below, provides a basis for how programs are structured and service is delivered to the community. Goal – A goal represents a long-term condition or end result. It describes a vision
or philosophy about major social and environmental concerns of the community. Significant Budget Changes – A significant budget change represents a major departure from historical practice
or treatment of a program or line item within a department’s budget. Action Plan – An action plan qualitatively or quantitatively identifies the service to be provided. Action plans
are specific in nature and directly correlate to achieving the results of the department or division goal. Service Level Indicators – The service level indicators describe in specific
and measurable terms the results a program (within a particular division) is expected to achieve within a given time frame. Service level indicators are derived from the action plan.
Expenditure Line Items – The smallest expenditure detail in department budgets. 280
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting All governmental fund types, Agency Funds and the Discretely Presented Component Unit are accounted for using the modified-accrual basis of accounting.
Under the modified-accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. Taxpayer-assessed gross receipts and sales taxes are considered
“measurable” when in the hands of intermediary collecting governments and are, therefore, recognized as revenue at that time. Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the fiscal year
during which they are levied, adjusted for amounts considered to be collectible more than 60 days beyond the fiscal year-end or ultimately uncollectible. Those revenues susceptible to
accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes, special assessments, licenses, interest revenue and charges for services. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year end on behalf
of the government also are recognized as revenue. Fines and permits are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash. Expenditures are
generally recognized under the modified-accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. An exception is interest on general long-term debt which is not accrued
but is recorded when due. Proceeds from issuance of longterm debt are recognized as other financing sources when received, and repayments are recognized as expenditures when due. All
proprietary fund types and Pension Trust Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. The revenues of these funds are recognized when they are earned, and their expenses
are recognized when they are incurred. Unbilled service revenues, which are not significant, are not recognized as revenues. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING The procedures established
by the City Council in adopting the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements are as follows: 1. Prior to June 1, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating
budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain
taxpayer comments. 3. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. 4. Budgets are adopted for all governmental fund types and are prepared on a basis
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. 5. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund and approve reductions of
budgeted amounts. Since expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of any fund are to be approved by the
City Council. Projects budgeted within the fiscal year but not yet completed can be reappropriated the following fiscal year with City Manager approval. All other unencumbered appropriations
lapse at year-end. Encumbered amounts are reappropriated in the ensuing fiscal year budget. 281
Investment Policy The Investment Policy of the City of Bakersfield as adopted by Policy Resolution No. 213-03, is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City
of Bakersfield’s temporary idle cash, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City’s cash management system. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds
in a manner which will provide safety of principal and at least a market rate of return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City. Investments will conform to all statutes
governing the investment of public funds. The primary goals of the investment policy are: • To assure compliance with all Federal, State and Local laws governing the investment of public
funds under the control of the City Treasurer. • To maintain the principal value of financial assets and ensure ample liquidity to meet operating expenditures. • Within the constraints
of safety and liquidity, and within the parameters of this Investment Policy generate a market rate rate of return. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City of
Bakersfield while protecting the safety of its financial assets. 282
Budget Amendment Process I. STATEMENT A. Generally, a budget is a financial plan including appropriations, which constitute expenditure authorizations with specific limitations as to

in order to: 1. Increase the total appropriations of a fund. 2. Transfer appropriations from one fund to another fund. 3. Transfer appropriations from Council Contingency Object Account
to another object account. 4. Transfer appropriations from capital improvement subprograms to operating subprograms. B. City Manager (or designee) authorization is required in order
to: 1. Decrease the total appropriations of a fund. 2. Transfer appropriations from operating subprograms subprograms to capital improvement subprograms for funded projects within a
fund. 3. Transfer appropriations from one funded capital improvement project to another funded capital improvement project within a fund. 4. Transfer appropriations from one department
operating subprogram to another department operating subprogram within a fund. 5. Transfer appropriations from one operating object group to another operating object group within a fund.
C. Department Head (or designee) authorization is required in order to: 1. Transfer appropriations from one operating subprogram to another operating subprogram (within a department),
within the same object group and fund. 2. Transfer of appropriations from one object account to another object account within the same object group and subprogram and fund is permitted,
but is discouraged. D. Appropriations carried forward from the prior year are to be used only for the purpose originally intended. Therefore, the transfer of carried forward appropriations
to current budget appropriation is not permitted. 283
