PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-89
Fiscal Year 2008-2009
Addition of territory, as shown in Exhibit E to the Consolidated Maintenance District is
generally described as PMW 08-1411 as specifically shown on Map and Assessment
Diagram marked Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as
though fully set forth, as an area within the City of Bakersfield.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City
of Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the Public Works
Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels
of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street
medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but
are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play
structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues,
trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains,
sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including
trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways now existing or
hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature.
The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity,
care, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and
operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be
made.
For many years, public parks, public streets median and other public street landscaping
improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After
Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, street
median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At
present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and
street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for
maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the
City does not permit new public parks, street median and other street landscaping
improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit E is being added to the Consolidated
Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public street median and other
street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the
Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same
amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established
in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit
"C") per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the
P, K499

cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County/All Urban
Consumers Consumer Price Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park
and/or street landscaping have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be
assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in
Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area
will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping are aesthetic
enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median and street
landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent
Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as
Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set
forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, RAUL M. ROJAS, Director of Public Works of the
City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of
said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Budget and Assessment Roll as set
forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated
herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory
subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation in said area.
