CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
June 8, 2007
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Cou,ncil
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager ,
i
SUBJECT: General Information
1. We have great news — the CTC has officially approved an additional $45.2 million in
STIP Augmentation funding for the Westside Parkway, as was recommended by their
staff! We thank them for allocating the funding, as well as all those who supported our
request. We will move forward quickly to put the needed dollars to work!
They also approved a 3 month extension to the Fairfax overpass which was required to
get the contract bids awarded.
2. Budget adoption is scheduled for June 20th. If you have any proposed revisions that
have not been discussed, please let us know before that evening as finding revenue
sources and balancing at the last minute can be problematic.
3. In their quest to raise funds for the refurbishment of the entry monument signs, Vision
2020 recently received a very generous offer that has caused them to reevaluate the
concept approved earlier this year by the City Council. The owner of StructureCast, the
concrete company that manufactured the original pre-cast concrete signs, has offered to
donate new signs to replace the existing north and south signs on Highway 99. In
addition, the offer includes relocating the north sign to the future location at the 7th
Standard Road interchange, as well as two additional signs for future placement at east
and west locations, yet to be designated. The new donation offer allows the ability to
change the concept to a less expensive and lower maintenance design than the current
plan which involves painting a mural on aluminum panels. Vision 2020 is considering
design options, but they envision a much simpler concept, with the Bakersfield "leaf"
logo etched into the concrete, which will be colored.
When the new design and costs are known, we will bring a revised proposal forward for
the Council's consideration. It is, of course, unusual to bring back a Council decision,
but this circumstance came about as a result of the unexpected concrete donation.
Please call if you have questions or concerns.
4. The San Joaquin Valley Air District encouraged staff to apply for a grant to help convert
the greenwaste facility to clean electric power. Unfortunately, the Air District has
declined our $3.0 million grant application, citing that there is no district funding available
now. Staff is now pursuing the possibility of funding from developers who need to obtain
air emission reduction credits in exchange for clean air projects such as this one.

5. We have updated our annual "Building Fee Comparison" survey from nine jurisdictions
in California. The study shows for specified assumptions and a building value, that
Bakersfield fees are at $18,155, and the average for the survey cities is $28,226.
6. CSUB has advised us that the bicycle path through California State University,
Bakersfield will be closed near Kroll Way for an indefinite period, effective June 11, due
to the construction of the new Student Recreation Center.
7. Due to popular demand, all five spray parks are now open for longer hours: 9:00 am to
8:00 pm, seven days a week. Locations are: Beale Park, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Park, Jefferson Park, Planz Park and Wayside Park.
8. Movies in the Park series continues this Friday at Seimon Park with "Charlotte's Web",
starting at dusk.
9. Beale Band concerts have started, with the first one last Sunday evening attracting
about 500 people to the park. This Sunday at 7:00 pm we will feature our Clogging
class prior to the start of the concert which starts at 8:00 pm.
10. Silver Creek hosted its first concert of the season on Tuesday night. On Tuesday, June
12, "The Fugitives" will perform at 7:30 pm.
11. One hundred and ten (110) softball teams have enrolled in our summer program which
is the most we have ever registered for summer.
12. Summer day camps at Silver Creek and Martin Luther King, Jr. Parks are both full.
13. The Graffiti Unit statistics for May, 2007 are attached.
14. The Streets Division work schedule for the week of June 11th is attached.
15. Council requests are enclosed, as follows:
Councilmember Benham

Councilmember Couch
• Letter to the County regarding the GAP Program for Seventh Standard Road.

RE: 7TH STANDARD ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Harold W.Hanson
Vice-Mayor Dear Mr. Errea:
Ward S
The City of Bakersfield was recently asked by the City of Shafter to
Irma Carson participate in the cost of widening the north side of 7th Standard Road east of
Ward I Calloway Drive. City of Shafter officials desire to improve the capacity of
7th Standard Road near the Mustang Way area by limiting direct access to the
Susan ard2 ham highway and providing alternate access elsewhere. Shafter officials
Gn W requested we share equally in the costa(approximately$300 000 per agency).
q Y � PP Y � P g Y)•
Ken Weir
Ward 3 As you know, that portion of 7ch Standard Road is now outside Bakersfield's
Sphere of Influence. In addition,the City of Bakersfield and the City of
David Couch Shafter entered into an agreement outlining our respective responsibilities for
Ward a the 7th Standard Road construction defined as the center line of the road.
Jacquie Sullivan In order to assist the City of Shafter in its desire to improve this portion of 7"'
{f irrd 6 Standard Road, I would make the following suggestion: The Metropolitan
Lack f�ard
Bakersfield Transportation Impact Fee program contains provisions to fund
G 7 and er the widening of miscellaneous gap locations. Since the roadway segment is
within Kern County jurisdiction, perhaps the County could fund the
$300,000 necessary for this work through the"miscellaneous gap projects"
section of the TIF program.
If the above approach could be accomplished, I would be happy to meet with
you and/or your staff to discuss how this could be brought to fruition. Thank
you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you in the
very near future.
Very truly yours,
David Couch,
Councilmember, Ward 4
