CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
January 12, 2007
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager !� //.,- rts
SUBJECT: General Information
1. We received good news this week via the enclosed notification from the Federal
Highway Administration that the Westside Parkway has received a FONSI
("Finding of No Significant Impact") designation. The FONSI is the official federal
approval of the Environmental Document prepared for the project that allows us to
proceed with design and construction of the project! We will advance our STIP
Augmentation Funding request to the CTC for the balance of the project funding in
the spring.
The less than good news is that of the $1 billion approved in the State bond
measure for Highway 99 projects, CalTrans did not recommend any funding for the
projects that were proposed from Kern County. These projects included widening
Highway 99 to eight lanes in the northern metro area, in the southern metro area,
and a new interchange at Hosking Avenue. Per the enclosed report from
KernCOG, they are considering adopting a resolution of opposition in protest, since
two of the projects that were selected may not have been in the priority category,
but a KernCOG widening projects were. We are reviewing the recommended
program of projects and may propose that the Council consider adoption of a
similar resolution.
We hope that the STIP Augmentation Funding request referred to above turns out
better for our community than the State bond decision did.
2. Enclosed you will find copies of materials submitted by the public in regard to the
roller hockey rink proposal at Saunders Park. The first BZA meeting on the matter
generated some controversy. Some subsequent neighborhood meetings and
adjustments to plans seem to have resolved that. Very little coverage was given in
the media to the support petition and letters which are enclosed. We are
continuing to work with Councilmember Carson on the issue of any remaining
neighborhood concerns.
3. The chief of the Army Corps of Engineers, John P. Woodley, visited Bakersfield
this week for a briefing on the Isabella Dam situation given by Sacramento Corps
staff. Local representatives of the Kern River interests, City, County, State and
Federal legislators were in attendance. Woodley stressed the Corps is moving as
quickly as possible with investigation, studies, design and fix of the Isabella project.

Funding is an on-going issue, but he felt confident that Congress will grant the
budget needed to keep on project on-track. The remediation process was
targeted to take 7 years, as opposed to the 12 years originally projected. The
briefing was followed with a tour of the Isabella facilities and media stop.
On a related note, earlier this week Congressmen Costa and McCarthy sent the
enclosed letter to Mr. Woodley to thank him for his personal visit to inspect the
Isabella site and to express their concern that adequate funding be granted for the
project, so the remediation process can be done as quickly as possible.
4. We will begin our first phase of relocating City staff to the Borton Petrini Conron
Building next week. As of Tuesday, January 15th, the Economic and Community
Development Department will be located on the third floor of the BPC Buildin g and
Fire Prevention on the fourth floor. TRIP/Parsons staff will move to EDCD's former
offices at 900 Truxtun on the second floor. All telephone and contact information
for EDCD, Fire Prevention, and the TRIP/Parsons staff will remain the same.
5. Please remember that the City offices will be closed on Monday, January 15th for
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
6. 1 will be attending the Large Cities Executive Forum (the branch of the International
City Management Association that serves large cities) on Thursday and th Frida y of
next week (January 18 and 19 th). In my absence, John Stinson will be in charge.
The office can also contact me if necessary.
7. The Police Department's year-end reports for the Graffiti unit GHOST
enforcement and the Special Enforcement Gang Violence unit are attached for
your review.
8. Recreation and Parks' December activity report is enclosed.
9. The Streets Division work schedule for the week of January 16th — 19th is enclosed.

for
Westside Parkway
between Heath Road and SR 99
in the City of Bakersfield in Kern County, California
The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) has determined that this project will not have an

TO: Transportation Planning Policy Committee
FROM: RONALD E. BRUMMETT,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: TTAC AGENDA ITEM: 2006 State Bond— Recommended Route 99
Program of Projects
DESCRIPTION:
The recent voter approval of Proposition 1 B, "The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air
Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of" 2006" and authorizes $1 billion for allocation to
Route 99 improvements. The California Transportation Commission will program the
p p 9
funds at their March 2007 meeting.
DISCUSSION:
For the past several months, Kern COG, Caltrans and the other San Joaquin Valley
council of governments have been involved in the development of criteria that would be
used to evaluate the nominated project for the Highway 99 Bond fun'ds. The California
Transportation Commission adopted the final criteria on December 13, 2006.
The Highway 99 Bond Program covers the entire state route between Kern County and
ehama County north of Sacramento. It was agreed that the Bond funds would be split
15 percent for the Sacramento Valley and 85 percent($833 million)for the San Joaquin
Valley: Projects must be under construction by 2012.
"The Commission expects that project nominations The adopted criteria states,
submitted by the Department(Caltrans)from the San Joaquin Valley will be consistent
ith the Caltrans State Route 99 Business Plan Element of the Master Plan..."The
usiness Plan established a priority improvements rovements to the corridor.
p
• Priority Category 1 — Freeway Conversion (from expressway with at grade
intersections to Freeway).
• Priorit Category 2 —Capacity-Increasin Projects (from 4 to 6 lanes and from 6
Y 9 rY g J
to 8 lanes).
1
• Priority Category 3 -- Major Operational Improvements (improve outdated
interchanges and construct auxiliary rY lanes .)
• Priority Category 4 - New Interchanges (interchanges at new locations)
i
The guidelines also note that, "After consultation with San Joaquin... RTPA's, the
Department will submit the SR 99 Bond Program to the CTC no later than January 16,
2007. The CTC will meet in February to approve the initial.SR 99 Bond Program."
A preliminary draft list of projects was developed (see attachment#1). The San Joaquin
Valle Regional Transportation Planning Agencies, such as Kern COG were permitted
Valley g p g g � � p .
to submitted projects for consideration. Caltrans and the San Joaquin Valley Regional
Transportation Planning Agencies held several conference calls to discuss the Highway
9 g 9 Y
99 Bond program and criteria.
Kern COG initially submitted five (5) projects for consideration in the Highway 99 Bond
program. However after review two projects interchange ects were dropped because of the
p pp
lack of preliminary information. The remaining projects consisted of two widening
gp J 9
projects, both in Bakersfield. The widening projects were form 6 lanes to 8 lanes. The
third project was for the construction of a new interchange. There were a total of 15
projects for the San Joaquin Valley, totaling $1.6 billion.
q Y 9
The Final Draft project list(attachment#2) identifies 8 projects for the San Joaquin
Valley totaling $1 billion. The Final Draft list does not meet the test of the Priority
Categories established b the Caltrans State Route 99 Business Plan Element of e
Y t th
Master Plan.
1. There is an interchange operational improvement(Priority Category 3)for
$48,4 million listed while there are Priority Category 2 projects on the list.
2. There is a Safety Roadside Rest Area reconstruction project listed for$10
million. While this project is included in the Business Plan, it falls outside the
established Priority Categories.
Kern COG submitted a viable Priority Category 2 project—widening from 6 to 8 lanes
rom Wilson Road to Bear Mountain Blvd.
Kern COG staff is also concerned with the lack of consultation. Until the final draft list
was published, other than the conference calls, Kern COG only had limited contact and
. . projects.
no negotiations with Caltrans on the Kern
Therefore�9 'Bond staff is recommending that Kern COG adopt a position in opposition to the
Caltrans Project list.
Action: approve Resolution No. opposing the Caltrans 99 Bond Project list

Department of Recreation and Parks
Date: i January 2, 2007
To: Alan Tandy, City Manager
From: Dian Aeoover, Director of Recreation and Parks
Subject: Roller Hockey at Saunders Park
The proposed Olympic-size Roller Hockey Rink at Saunders Park will
benefit the citizens of Bakersfield in several ways by offering a recreation
opportunity that is not currently available within the city. There are many
kids and adults looking for alternative activities that provide team
camaraderie, coaching, mentoring, fitness and fun.
1. Will the Roller Hockey Rink cost us from the General Fund?
The Roller Hockey Rink is a full Olympic size rink and was
donated to the City of Bakersfield, free of charge. Council
approved the Capitol Improvement Projects (CIP)for the '06-
'07. The Roller Hockey rink was allocated ;530,000 for the
concrete base, aluminum roof, and basic amenities such as
lights, fences and fans. Further improvements such as
lockers and additional restrooms can be budgeted from future
revenues.
2. What are other cities' economic experience?
The cities that have a Roller Hockey rink usually contract out
� the management of the rink. The management organization
usually pays the city an upfront rental fee or lease for the
opportunity to operate the facility. There could be other
revenue factors built into the contract such as concessions
and tournament incentives. The City of Irvine built their facility
on vacant land next to a park, actually as a request from
Wayne Gretsky, National Hockey League star. Irvine receives
I
� I
f
i
i
i
rent from the management company in addition to revenues
g p Y
from out of town guests during tournaments who stay at the
!, local hotels, eat at local restaurants and shop locally. The City
of Irvine has entered into a contract with a new management
company which just started on January 2nd, 2007. Irvine sees
the Roller Hockey facility as a way to promote the city and its
many assets.
Roller Hockey enthusiasts from Bakersfield travel to Irvine to
participate in their chosen sport due to the lack of a full size
rink locally. Currently, there are about 200 adult players in
Bakersfield and they believe if we had a regulation court,
participation would also increase. They currently rent time at
Rollerama, they buy equipment and they purchase
concession items.
Roller Hockey is often a lead-in to Ice Hockey sports. Our Ice
Hockey center is very popular, and growing with skaters each
day. The Bakersfield Condors attract people from all over the
community and other communities to attend events and
g ames. By building a bi gg er base of potential players through
roller hockey, the economy grows with the number of amateur
f players, fans and out of town guests.
The Condors playem have given back to the community as
well by going to schools and various groups to encourage
kids to get involved in positive activities. B providing another
Y p 9
level of coaching, encouragement, and active recreation, the
community reaps benefits on many levels, including
economic, social and civic pride.
i 3
3. How will we operate it?
It is our intention to bid out the operation of the Roller Hockey
Y
Rink. All interested parties, including the existing operator of
Rollerama will have the opportunity to submit proposals to
operate a full size roller hockey rink for the public. The
awarded contract can specify incentives such as introducing
as many people as possible to the sport of Roller Hockey,
offering low-cost sessions for those who want to just it and
b"Y
family nights where all ages are invited to attend as an
introduction to roller hockey, It will benefit both the operator
Y p
and the city to make this a very successful venture.
The city will also receive revenues from concessions
tournaments and sponsorships in creating events that will
E
attract new players.
i
i
I
III
4. Why do we need it?
Currency, some roller hockey enthusiasts are using our public
tennis courts or streets as their playing surface. Tennis
players call us to put up signs to discourage roller hockey
I players because they want to play tennis and not wait for an
empty court due to roller hockey. There appears to be a big
demand in the city for roller hockey, and providing a safe,
appropriate place to participate in the sport is positive for the
city. With current limited facilities to play, current players are
finding alternative locations not suitable for roller hockey,
traveling out of town, or leaving the sport temporarily until
another facility opens nearby.
The city provides other popular sports for all ages: soccer,
softball, baseball, swimming and bicycle paths. Roller Hockey
is another recreation opportunity that the city can provide to
I encourage kids to get involved in productive activities.
The city operates a successful ice rink, and hosts a
professional team—the Bakersfield Condors. Many ice
hockey players started as roller hockey players in their local
communities. Currently, the Ice Sports Center has about 200
adults that play on a regular basis, in addition to over 150 kids
who play in-house or on travel fieams. There are more potential
skaters out there, and roller hockey is less expensive to play
than ice hockey, which will open more doors for more kids.
While roller hockey can be a lead in to ice hockey, many
players choose to stay with roller hockey throughout their life.
On a typical weekend night at the Ice Sports Center, 300 to 400
people of all ages, abilities and interests come out to enjoy the
activity. During the recent holidays, they had over 500 families
participate on-various nights when it was open to the public.
S. Who will use it?
All ages, demographics and abilities will be able to use the
Roller Hockey rink. There are even wheelchair roller hockey
teams that could be started. While the hours of operation may
vary, it will be used heavily after school and weekends. When
it is in use, players and participants will be supervised by the
operating company. We plan to honor the park hours,which
currently is from 5:00AM to 10:0013M.
I
i
The potential to introduce more people to the sport of roller
hockey is great, and providing a safe, supervised means to do
so benefit all current and future players. While there is an
estimated population of 200-250 current roller hockey
enthusiasts, that number could grow significantly with a full
size rink available at affordable, Prior to closing in 2002,
the Indoor Hockey and Soccer Center had 189 adults and 288
youth ranging in ages from 8-18 as players. They are still out
there, and the potential for growth with the appropriate facility
will be great
S. Why Saunders Park?
Saunders Park is centrally located and easily accessible from
major streets, Interstate 99 and Highway 58. It is well-buffered
9 Y
from adjacent properties, with I-99 being on the west side of
the park.
, Saunders Park has necessary support amenities such as
restrooms, parking and open space. The Fire Station next to
the park is also a desirable amenity to have.
The proposed location of the roller hockey rink will fill an
under-utilized part of the park that is not currently
programmed.
Since the facility will be supervised when in use, it will provide
added staffing to the park. The security lighting planned for
the facility will add lighting to an area of the park that is
currently dark. We will also have his park on our night patrol
list which means it will be patrolled by a security firm
randomly each night

Ms. Dianne Hoover,Director
Recreation&Parks Department
900 Truxtun Avenue, Suite 100
Bakersfield, CA 93301
Dear Ms. Hoover:
I am writing this letter to express m support for the construction of the ro sed roller hockey
facility at Saunders Park.
Y pPo p po o
I started playing roller hockey n 1999 at the age of 34. I played at the facility on Niles Y g p y ty Ni Street
until it closed at the end of 2002. I then began playing at Rollerama on 34d'Street where I have
played since. I also play ice hockey at the Ice Sports Center.
Hockey is a great s p ort for all ages. It combines a tremendous car d i ovascular workout with
th
intense competition. It promotes balance,hand-eye coordination and the concept of teamwork.
Y p .
It also creates an atmosphere of camaraderie not found in other sports.
Roller hockey is more accessible to the beginnin g player than ice hockey. It is easier to learn
. y
skate on roller blades,easier to control the puck and the ame is played at a slower speed. It is
g p Y pe
also more accessible to people of all economic backgrounds. Theequipment is less expensive
p
and the league fees are about half of what ice hockey costs.
At its peak,there were about 2 •
p 00 adults playing roller hockey in Bakersfield,and a similar
number'of youths. That number has dwindled in the past four ears simply because there has
p Y pY
been no place dedicated to playing the game. It will take time to rebuild interest,but there is-n
doubt in my mind that with a financially stable,professional) run facility in lace the sport of
Y tY place, p
roller hockey in Bakersfield can reach and exceed those previous levels.
The people at kollerama have •p p been gracious hosts to our games for the last four years,but their
primary focus continues to be,understandably,public skating. There are '
• Y�p g e simply too few time
slots available for the sport to grow at that facility. Also, because their facility designed
ty was not fined
for hockey, it does not allow the game to be played at a competitive level. The rink is far
p smaller
than regulation,the boards were not designed for hockey nd the floor surface inhibits the
of the puck.
Y travel
However,the same things that make Roll r competitive •
g e ama unsuitable for competitive hockey make it ideal
for beginners and children. Far from being a situation whey '
� g e the City is building a facility to

RE: Proposed Roller Hockey Court @ Saunders Park
Dianne,
I would like to express my full support for the proposed roller hockey court that is to
pp p � y
be located at Saunders Park. Growing up in a lower-middle class military family in
Anchorage,Alaska,city run rinks were one of the best avenues for a safe,structured,
and enjoyable sport. I have an uncountable amount of positive memories that are due
to hockey and am very excited about the possibility for others to be able to have
similar experiences. Because of the sport, I have been able to obtain a college degree,
travel throughout the United States,and gain the skills necessary in life to be-in m
current profession of an Environmental Planner here in Bakersfield. A city built
facility will help provide the opportunity for all income levels to obtain the benefits
associated with its use. My wife and two children have fallen in love with hockey
Y
and
are currently enrolled in programs at the Bakersfield Ice Sports Center. Our
family will all use the new roller hockey court if cons '
., • . y constructed and egret that it will be
a desirable addition to the city.
I
Sincerely,
Glen Mears
Sr.Associate Envirorumental Planner

President,Bakersfield Condors
Re: Proposed Roller Hockey Rink at Saunders Park
Dunne,
We at the Condors are extremely excited about the possibility of a roller hockey rink bein g installed at
Saunders Park. Obviously anything to help participation or expose the sport of hockey is a positive for us,but
more importantly,this rink will be a real asset to the community.
Participation of any organized sport provides a great benefit to the participants,families and the community y as
a whole. Roller hockey is a fun and exhilarating sport and'hobby that's proven very popular in many
communities and cities around the country,particularly in California. The current facilities here in Bakersfield
of which to play are below par in relation to our population when comparing to other areas.
p g
We believe there is a solid demand for a true roller hockey league in Bakersfield. I think people would be
surprised how many kids(AND adults)would PAY to sign up and play in an organized league. There are
facilities in many cities where roller hockey rinks are utilized via leagues seven days a week. There is little
doubt that when properly operated,roller hockey leagues are a money-maker. In addition to youth and adult
teams, schools could also potentially get involved with forming leagues.
Many children growing up in California roller blade. You can rollerblade anywhere,very much unlike ice
YW � rY
skating,which is why participation has the potential to explode. I personally speak with many fans at our
games whose kids roller blade(or who also roller blade themselves)that want more options in the area for
roller hockey.
From our organization,you would have a commitment to assist in any way possible with construction la Yp ,p er Y
involvement via autograph sessions and clinics,etc. We would also be more than happy to assist with
exposure of the grand opening,leagues,etc.
The most important aspect of
a new roller hockey rink however,is youth involvement(as it is in any organized
sport)in that as a whole it teaches kids teamwork,accountability,responsibility,commitment structure
friendship,etc. And while they're having fun learning and exercising,they're staying out of trouble. Along
with baseball,basketball, football,ice hockey,etc,this is et another option for kids to et excited bout.
Y p g a
i
j
A roller hockey'rink could also bring new meaning to a"day in the Y ark." Imagine a family arrivin on a
p g g
Saturday morning for a youth roller hockey game,picnicking on the grass for lunch and staying g n in the
afternoon as the parents watch their kids play on the gr ass and playground.
Combine all those elements with the big picture look. A thriv' '
g p riving roller hockey rink in a flourishing park
setting could be the catalyst for new development in the area.
We are here to assist however necessary and look forward to seeing the progress. Thank you for being a
catalyst behind this positive project.
i
Successfully,

Bakersfield, CA 93301
To Whom It Ma y Concern:
i
It is my understanding-that your department is considering the installation of a
roller hockey rink at Saunders Park.
This idea has several positive aspects:
1. Good park utilization by a group of atheletes that would otherwise have
no way to use the facility.
2. Provide a positive sports-based environment that is not otherwise
;offered throughout the city.
3. This positive usage could discourage loitering and other unsavory
i p 9 9 9
;activities.
4. Provide a safe roller hockey venue that is not offered in the private
sector. Existing roller rinks have concrete barrier walls that are very
,unforgiving in a hockey game.
We support the building of this facility as a p ositive addition to the services
provided by your organization.
Sincere[ yours,
q ,

To whom it may concern:
I am writing this letter in-su rt of the installation and running of 1
p1� g a oval roller
hockey rink in Bakersfield, CA. It has been brought to m attention that there has been
� Y n
some opposition or concerns towards the building of a roller hockey facility here'in our
• Y tY
community and this letter is to help explain why there shouldn't be an concerns or
. . � Y y
opposition to what should be considered a great opportunity for our communi tY as a
whole.
First and foremost,the main question or concern is "How will this affect the
neighborhood?" The answer to that is simple. Creating a hockey rink in the
neighborhood will to two things: It will create more positive be to help detour
negative traffic in the area. Second it will help
generate rate more revenue to the local
business in the area(i.e. Restaurants, as stations etc. B creating this • '
. . , g � ) y g rink,there will
be families and friends getting together and participating in a sport that man have
p Y
proven over the years to love and enjoy. With this in progress,it would be almost
impossible for an y negative ative actions to take place as far as gang and drug activity are
concerned It could only help.
p
Second question I have heard is, "What are the potential numbers that will come
with a full,sized rink? I love this question. With a full functional rink it is possible to
Y po
have leagues for kids and adults of all ages(starting at 5 and creatin a lace for 1a) g place players
to improve their skills and try to take their hobby to the next level of competition. Also
it creates a,place where we can host tournaments and invite teams from other cities to
compete here in our town. We have a lot of teams that travel outside of Bakersfield to
play on a monthly basis; I,for one,am on one of those teams. With a tournament be'ing
held that has 8 divisions with 8 teams in each which are 84 tams
• e that could possibly
come into our town in any given weekend. Let's'go further: 84 teams with about 9-12
players per team,that's at least 756 players(not includin g family).. This
local revenue.
goes back to
Third question has • •
q been, What are the positive aspects of a sport like this?91 Just
take a look at the Condors for a second. Take a look at their ticket sales for last playoffs.
I don't have the official numbers but I do know that I was there
i for all the games and saw
the attendance records on the screen and we were 2nd in the league in average
,� , . agu rage attendance.
This doesn,t happen by accident. We have families here that love this s '
port and will play
and continue to play for years to come. Our only problem is that we have Y p always had
rink owners who bail out when they aren't seeing a h ug e profit. A lot
of the profit
problems is�the cost of maintaining an indoor rink. The creation of a well protected
outdoor rink will help reduce the cost of maintaining and operating •
In my • g pe g a hockey rink.
opinion,,we have man families •
p y lies who will sign their kids up and play
hockey season after season. Man players will have to •
Y p Y knock the dust ofd of their
equipment since it has been so long ince w • • •
g e had a functional facility but they will
certainly do'so.
Thank you for your time and concern.

To: Whom it may concern
My name is John Wren and I am a HR Team Member
at Target on Wible just down the street from the proposed
locatiol
n of the new Roller Rink.: I feel that building this rink
will greatly improve many areas of the city from reducing
crime ,in the central area location to providing kids in the
community an affordable option for after school activities.
The city is growing and Roller Hockey has already shown its
popularity in the past. Anyone opposing this rink should
take a..second look at what they are doing, saying no to less
crime only because it could bring more traffic, saying no to a
rink that could provide a great opportunity for the youth in
our community. I hope the city looks at all the good this
Roller,Rink could do for this growing community before
letting!it slip through the cracks.

To whom it may concern:
Roller hockey has been a very popular sport in this city,but the com etitive
p
opportunity to play was taken away from us many years ago when a local privately
owned rink was forced to close. Since then man players have traveled y p y regularly out of
town to Lancaster or Santa Clarity to play games in organized leagues. We have also
formed traveling tournament teams which practice at local parks or by g rentin time at
Rollerama. Others have begun playing ice hockey, but some are discouraged because of
the high prices to enter these leagues. We used to have some of the best roller hockey
, y
players across the west coast right here in Bakersfield,with numerous tournament titles
and national championships at all levels and age groups. We have needed a regulation
gr' p
rink for practice and league play to help grow this sport back to where it was years ago.
There are no facilities in Bakersfield that offer safe conditions for la . The only p Y Y
that is somewhat structured for hockey is Rollerama which has brick and concrete walls
which are very dangerous. We have tried to get the ownership of the facility to host in-
house leagues but to no avail. We have only been offered the ability to rent the rink on a
. tY
weekly basis and hold our own leagues. Playin 'hockey s something I have done since I
y �
was a little boy and now that I have a son it is something I am excited to see him la .
Starting a!c p Y
g hill in roller hockey is a great way to teach them the fundamentals of the
sport without the high cost of ice hockey. Roller hockey is even a r ecognized sport i
n the
NCAA, offering scholarships to play at the collegiate level. USA Hockey Inline
. , , g y has also
given their support,giving us the tools to create an organized league,market and find
sponsors, insure every player,coach and official,'and to help bring tournaments.to our
city. I have spoken with the coordinators of all of the ma'or national tournaments uri:iaments and
have been assured that they will all bring some level of tournament to this fac ity within
the first 18 months. This could be a great economic stimulant to the local '
community
with a few hundred out of town families '
families coming each weekend for these tournaments
requiring food and hotels. USA Hockey will also help us organize a GO
'ides p g GOALS program
which provides equipment to less fortunate Youth so that everyone can '
. Y ry take part in this
sport. There is really no down side to this for our local youth, adults and bus'
With y � messes. .
this rink we all win and we can bring this eats sport back to this '
great po great city.

Dear Secretary Woodley:
We are taking this opportunity to share our verv'dee concern about safety a
. p y t Isabella
Dam, given the significant seismic and seepage problems there. As U.S. Re resentatives
whose districts encompass the Kern River� p Watershed,we are acutely aware of the current
situation, which puts hundreds of thousands of our constituents at risk.
We are aware of your planned visit to Isabella Darn this week, and we appreciate your
pP y
personal attention to this issue. In your. preparation for the visit, we resume you will
� p y
review the Corps December 29, 2006, fake Isabella Dam Situation Re ort. Thus re ort
p p
outlines the significant steps the Corps has yet to take in order to e begin repairs: we urge
g p g
you to review all options to streamline the study'process. The Corps has identified the
Lake Isabella situation as its number one dam safety concern, but reports indicate that
actual remedial construction could r '
� equ�re up to a mrrumum of five years once the
planning process has been concluded. It is imperative that we discuss a more timely
process'to resolving this matter.
In addition to concerns about safety, we would like to highlight the economic hardship
� .. . g p
faced
by entities that contract for water from Isabella Reservoir. The Corps lowered the
volume of water in storage to reduce stress on the darn in April 2006. While this may
ublic a Y
have been done to address
p safety concerns, this action caused millions of dollars
worth of lost water., and will cause our constituents significant water management
challenges for the foreseeable future.
We realize that your agency has been working under substantial •
bs antral budget constraints in
recent months, but we.urge you to locate the necessary discretionary funds needed to
complete the planning process and identify the scope of work necessary.. Ve "ill work
with youl, and the a pp r opriate House committees,to maximize available
funding for this
important dam safety project.
!!fi�rr t ��(� RECYCLED PFi lZ 4Y;'L:`J fit.RE YCLED I APER

Again,!we appreciate vour personal r• • .
pp pe na.l attention to the situation by visiting Lake Isabella,
and ire Wish the voting schedule in the House of Representatives would ' .

you. After you visit Isabella Darn, we look forward to meeting with you to d'

Corps� plans to address the problems at Isabella.
