B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM June 15, 2007 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council { FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information 1. The City of Shafter is suing us again. This time over the Adavco Development on 7th Standard Road. The action only serves to potentially delay the widening of the south side of 7th Standard — most illogical! 2. A progress report on the TRIP projects prepared for Congressman McCarthy is enclosed. We are doing well! The Fairfax/SR 178 interchange, SR 99/7th Standard Road interchange, Mohawk extension, and Phase I of the Westside Parkway are all on the near-term list for construction. 3. Enclosed is a copy of a letter from Senator Ashburn to the California Transportation Commission urging it reconsider the widening of Route 58 (Rosedale Highway) from four to six lanes between Allen Road and Route 99. We appreciate Senator's Ashburn support of our transportation projects. 4. Two hearings took place this week with neighbors surrounding Aera Park. While comments were far reaching including some who completely oppose it, we will take into account design issues voiced. We will also be "signing" all of our future park project sites as we have found out that new people in town are completely unfamiliar with long- term City projects. 5. Taft City Council unanimously rejected a recommendation to begin the process of establishing impact fees imposed on developers to pay for the infrastructure ranging from streets to parks to wastewater treatment needed to support new developments. 6. Kern County landfill fees will increase about 6% on July 1St. For residences, the fee is a line item on the County's property tax bill. For businesses, the fee is a line item on the City's commercial refuse service bill. This County fee increase is separate from the 3.2% increase for City refuse rates in FY 2007-08. 7. The date for National Incident Management System (NIMS) training is set for Wednesday, July 11th from 5:15 to 9:15 pm at the Convention Center. Councilmembers, Department heads and their designees are invited to attend. 8. Jastro Pool has had major leaks. We have conducted exhaustive testing, the results of which are in the enclosed report. We are attempting short-term repairs to get it open for the season. We will keep you advised on how it goes. Honorable Mayor and City Council June 15, 2007 Page 2 9. Recreation and Parks' activity report for the month of May is enclosed. 10. The Streets Division work schedule for the week of June 18th is enclosed. 11. The Special Enforcement Unit's monthly report for May 2007 is enclosed. 12. Responses to questions from the June 4th budget presentations are enclosed. City Council will be adopting the budget on Wednesday, June 20tH 13. Council requests are enclosed, as follows: Councilmember Benham • Code Enforcement's investigation at 1400, 1500 and 1600 blocks of Kentucky St.; • California Water Services practices of marking streets and clean-up; and, Councilmember Couch • Establishing Development Standards for Taft Highway.

The project is moving ahead at a very favorable pace. Within the next few months, we will be inviting you to groundbreaking ceremonies for both the Fairfax / State Route 178 Interchange and the State Route 99 / 7 th Standard Road Interchange projects. Design is underway on the Westside Parkway, with the first groundbreaking scheduled to occur in 2008. $29 million in environmental and design contracts for five other major TRIP projects will be awarded this summer. Our interagency team of Caltrans, Kern County, the City of Bakersfield, and management consultant, Parsons, are working to deliver all of the TRIP projects in record time through project team reviews and creative programs, such as AB 1858, which you sponsored on our behalf when you were in the State Assembly. We encourage you to contact Caltrans District 6 Director Malcolm Dougherty at 559-488-4082 for confirmation and update of the status of our progress to date. Please feel free to have your staff contact me with any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you at the groundbreakings. Rej ,, tfully, Tandy City Manager CC.'

Through the efforts of former Congressman William M. Thomas, SAFETEA-LU included $630 million in earmarks for highway improvements in four primary corridors in metropolitan Bakersfield. To administer these funds and manage project development, the City of Bakersfield has executed a Memorandum of Understanding and a Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans and has established a collaborative team of affected partners in a centralized office in Bakersfield. This team consists of representatives from the City of Bakersfield, the County of Kern, Caltrans and a management consultant, Parsons Corporation. Known as the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) in honor of Congressman Thomas, the program consists of several individual projects in four primary corridors in Bakersfield: 1) Beltways, 2) the Centennial Corridor Loop, 3) State Route 178 and 4) Rosedale Highway (currently State Route 58). Although it is not part of the SAFETEA-LU earmark, the 8.2-mile Westside Parkway is also being administered under TRIP, because it connects to and is part of the larger transportation system and is part of the backbone of the TRIP program. Summary of Progress to Date Westside Parkway • $168 million in funds are on hand, including $45.2 million augmentation from the CTC • Right-of-way acquisition is 90% complete • Design contracts are underway • First contract moving to construction beginning in late 2008 • Second contract moving to construction in late 2008 or early 2009 Related Construction Project Schedule • STATE ROUTE 178/Farifax Avenue interchange ($45 million) is out to bid — in construction this summer • STATE ROUTE 99/7" Standard Road interchange ($25 million) will be out to bid this fall. The above referenced bids total $238 million in construction that will be issued in the near term. Progress/Status Report Page 2 Environmental and Design Contracts • With federal approval, ready to award contracts for environmental planning and design for Rosedale Highway, State Route 178/ Morning Drive interchange, State Route 178/Oak Street interchange, Centennial Corridor South and Westside Parkway • $29 million in environmental and design contracts The TRIP team established a centralized office that includes engineering staff from the City's Public Works Department, the County's Road Department, Caltrans District 6 and Parsons, the management consultant. Now located at 900 Truxtun Avenue, the office has a combined staff of 25 engineers and planners working together in a collaborative effort to expedite project delivery. The use of "over — the-shoulder" reviews and the anticipated delegation this summer of environmental authority from FHWA to Caltrans will allow projects to move quickly into construction. Overview of Activities The Westside Parkway Although it is not funded under the SAFETEA-LU earmark, the Westside Parkway is being administered and managed under TRIP. The Parkway, when completed, will be an 8.2 mile, east- west freeway from Allen Road to Truxtun Avenue. The City of Bakersfield is the lead agency for the Westside Parkway and for its environmental document under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). A major milestone occurred in January of this year when the No Significant FA issued a Finding of reimbursement) to proceed. With the ficant Impact (FONSI) for the Westside Parkway. Issuance of the F HW is critical because it allows final design and right-of-way acquisition (with federal FONSI in hand, the City immediately initiated design of the Westside Parkway, awarding design contracts to Dokken Engineering and DMJM-Harris for Mohawk Street and the Westside Parkway. The Westside Parkway is being funded primarily under the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which is administered by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The TRIP staff, with the assistance of local legislators, has been aggressively pursuing STIP "Augmentation" funds, and as a result, CTC has approved additional $45.2 million in SUP funds for the Westside Parkway. It is estimated that this will allow construction of the Parkway from Truxtun Avenue to Coffee Road. The TRIP team is continuing to develop staging and funding plans to allow continued construction of the Westside Parkway from east to west, first from Truxtun Avenue to Calloway Drive and then on to Allen Road. • Mohawk Street — Rosedale Highway to Truxtun Avenue. This project will extend Mohawk Street over the Kern River between Truxtun Avenue and Rosedale Highway and will include an interchange with the future Westside Parkway. Construction will begin in the fall of 2008. • Westside Parkway — The first portion of the new Westside Parkway will include the portion from Truxtun Avenue to Coffee Road or perhaps Calloway Drive, with the above-mentioned interchange with Mohawk Street. Construction will begin in early 2009. Unc�omin4 Construction Projects Construction will begin this summer on the first of the TRIP projects, the STATE ROUTE 178/Fairfax Road interchange. This project will construct a grade-separated interchange between Fairfax Road and STATE ROUTE 178 and will include a 1-mile easterly extension of the STATE ROUTE 178 freeway in northeast Bakersfield. Final design of this project has been approved by Caltrans, right-of-way Progress/Status Report Page 3 acquisition has been completed, and utilities have been relocated. The City is the lead agency during construction and has advertised the project for construction, with bid opening set for late June 2007. Groundbreaking ceremonies are expected to occur in late summer. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2 years. Following this, construction bids are expected to be opened later this summer for the State Route 99/7th Standard Road interchange and grade separation project, where the County of Kern is the lead agency. This project includes widening and improving the existing 7th Standard Road/State Route 99 interchange and the construction of a grade separation over the adjacent BNSF railroad tracks. Groundbreaking ceremonies are expected in the fall of this year and construction is expected to be completed in 2 years. The remaining TRIP projects will go into construction as soon as possible after approval of the environmental document and completion of final plans. Environmental Documents and Desi n Projects in TRIP are in one of three stages of project development: preliminary engineering/ environmental approval, final design, or construction. The City and the County, with approval of the FHWA, will be entering into remaining federally-reimbursable contracts with planning and engineering consultants for each project. In anticipation of FHWA approval this summer, the TRIP team is currently negotiating engineering contracts that will total approximately$29 million for: Rosedale Highway Environmental Document(ED)/Final Design — HNTB Associates State Route 178 Morning Drive Interchange ED/Final Design — Psomas Associates State Route 178/Oak Street— ED/Final Design - RBF Consulting Centennial Corridor South — Environmental Document— HNTB Associates West Beltway— ED/Final Design — Parsons Brinkerhoff Program Management Following mobilization and the selection of initial engineering consultants, the TRIP team undertook a comprehensive review of the proposed projects and their probable costs. Recently experienced highway construction cost increases, coupled with the need to consider inflation in futur e construction year contracts, indicated that full construction of the proposed projects will require funds from supplemental sources. The City Council of Bakersfield, on May 23, 2007, adopted a nine-point program to generate those supplemental revenue sources. They include an increased transportation development fee locally which can be bonded if necessary, supplemental developer mitigation, future State Transportation Improvement funds and advocacy of a local transportation tax measure, among other sources. The Financial Plan has been submitted to FHWA for review and approval. The FHWA had five initial questions, which we are now responding to. As part of the ongoing Program Management effort, the TRIP team has undertaken numerous studies and developed the overall management program. Among the project management activites completed: • Prepared concept cost estimates for each of the TRIP projects, for use in conjunction with the Financial Plan. These concept level estimates will be refined during planning and design as plans are developed. Progress/Status Report Page 4 • Reviewed and updated the Kern COG 2030 traffic model for use in the design of TRIP projects • Prepared a Procedural Manual for Environmental Document Preparation, which will be a guideline for environmental consultants preparing documents for TRIP. • Prepared Technical Procedures for the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates. These policies will serve as guidelines for design consultants. • Prepared preliminary geometric layouts for the Centennial South Project. Several alternative alignments are under consideration. • Developed the Right of Entry environmental work for projects where itowi will be necessary cto enter privateepropert for biological and wetland-related studies. property • Prepared a drainage study for the South Beltway for use in preparing specific plan lines for the new highway. This will facilitate the establishment of a General Plan line for the South Beltway. • Pursued additional funding sources for several projects in Metropolitan Bakersfield, including State Route178, Rosedale Highway and the Westside Parkway. • Prepared the Monthly Status Report that provides a detailed report on project progress and project cost. With the passage of Assembly Bill 1858, portions of State Route 58 (Rosedale Highway), State Route 178 and State Route 204 can be relinquished by Caltrans to the City of Bakersfield or the County of Kern. In removing a State Route designation, it is expected that the roadway can be constructed to City or County standards, which would require less right-of-way and would involve an expedited review and approval process during both the environmental and design phases. Negotiations are ongoing between Caltrans District 6 and the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern regarding relinquishment of the three routes. Next Steps The TRIP team is committed to expediting project delivery in every way Possible. environmental phases of projects, the team will work closely with agency and consultant staff to minimize review cycles and review time. In the design phase, over-the-shoulder reviews will eliminate the need to pass comments back and forth and will expedite the approval process. The next steps include: • Moving forward with consultant contracts for preliminary engineering, environmental documents, final plans and construction management. Total contacts to be awarded: $50 million. • Implementing the City's positive action plan to address funding and planning issues. Specifically, this will include working closely with the CTC staff and commissions to secure all Possible STIP funding, as well as pursuing additional state and federal funding sources. Such programs include the State-Local Partnership Program, the Trade Corridor Improvement Program and the Public Lands Highway Discretionary Program. FAMENTC) CA �18 34 ��` !'ti,6 5!

These revenue sources are the Land Use Fee, Gate Fee and Bin Fee. The Land Use Fee is charged on the tax roll for residential properties in the County. As a result of this fee, there is no additional charge at a landfill or transfer station for disposal or recycling of normal household trash. The Gate Fee is charged on a per ton of waste basis at landfills or transfer stations for all non-residential waste and other chargeable items, such as tires, dead animals, camper shells or construction and demolition material from any source. The Bin Fee is charged for non-residential waste on a per container volume basis. As mentioned in the September letter, the public hearing before the Kern County Board of Supervisors on the increases was scheduled for December 12, 2006. On that date, the Board of Supervisors approved an increase in the Land Use Fee from $66.00 to $70.00 per unit per year for one to four unit parcels and from $53.00 to $56.00 per unit per year for a five or more unit parcel. The Board also approved increasing the Gate Fee from $36.00 per ton to $38.25, and increasing the Bin Fee from $1.90/yard to $2.00/yard. All of the approved fee changes are effective July 1, 2007. Please remind your accounting staff of these changes. If you have questions concerning these changes, please feel free to contact me at (661) 862-8998. Sincerely, DAPHNE B.

B A K E R S F I E L D Department of Recreation and Parks Date: May 30, 2007 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: Dian66400ver, Director of Recreation & Parks Subject: Jastro Pool Report The Jastro Pool report is attached. It includes a summary of everything staff has done to address the leak problems at the pool. The report also provides options to what staff can do to remedy the situation, at least temporarily. More costly, but permanent solutions are also provided. Also included are: Pictures of the leaks found to date The full report from Aquatic Design Attendance figures from the past two years "We create a quality community through people, parks and programs" JASTRO POOL MAY 29, 2007 Jastro Pool, located on Truxtun Avenue in Jastro Park, is currently being assessed for the source of major leaks. Toward the end of 2006 pool season, Jastro Pool was losing about 32,000 gallons of water a day. In 2005, the pool closed for two weeks to repair leakage due to water loss of 20,000 gallons per day. That repair was more temporary than we had originally hoped for, and the search for the main cause of the leak began in January of 2007. The following is a summary of the various actions staff has taken to get to the source of leakage: 1. Standard Leak Test. A standard leak test was the first test conducted and consists of shutting off all pumps and placing a cylinder into the pool. The water in the cylinder accounts for evaporation loss. In a 24-hour period, the water level dropped over 20 inches below the water level in the cylinder indicating a water loss greater than 32,800 gallons per day. The pumps were not operating during this leak test. The test was done on two separate occasions, and after each test, the Pool would have only 2inches remaining in the bottom after 72 hours. 2. Video Camera Test: The second test was using a video camera from the sewer department to visually assess the lines into the pool. The return lines were not able to be videoed due their size and significant corrosion. The video did show cracking and deterioration in the gutter system, corrosion in the main drain lines, and severe deterioration in the sumps for each main drain. 3. Dye Tests• Dye tests were then conducted with a scuba diver to confirm the main water loss points. This test consists of a scuba diver spraying dye near the identified leak points to determine the flow of water. Once the dye was released, it was pulled into 4 return lines and both drain sumps. This showed that the majority of water loss was through the return lines. 4. Drillin- Next, staff excavated next to the pool deck in selected locations to find the main source of the leak. The drilling tool used would drop 2-3 feet into caverns in some locations indicating that there were large empty spaces in different areas around the pool. 5. Aquatic Design Assessment• Staff then contracted with Aquatic Design, recognized experts in pool structures, to provide an assessment of the pool leakage problem. The report summarizes the leak problem in the following paragraph from page 4 of the Aquatic Design Report: "The water leaks noted above appear to be coming from various sources in the pool system. It may be prudent to have additional destructive testing conducted to take core samples of the pool shell at the pool cracks to determine the exact extent of the pool shell failure if the existing pool shell is to be reused in a pool renovation. At a minimum all of the pool piping should be replaced. The pool inlets should be replaced at the same time. This will require that pool deck be removed and replaced to provide access to these pipes." He estimates the pool renovation costs, in its existing shell and condition, to be about$650,000, but that estimate does not include extra soft costs such as contractual agreements. To fully repair Jastro pool, according to Aquatic Design would be about one million dollars. (Full report from Aquatic Design is attached). 6. Air Pressure Test: Staff then tested the return lines by forcing air pressure into them. The lines would not hold pressure, indicating damage somewhere in the lines. 7. Excavation: Even after all these tests, we still did not have a clear picture of where all that water was going, and what was the major source of the leaks. Public Works staff then began major excavation work around the perimeter of the pool, first exposing the entire west wall (the deep end). Not finding major water damage or extremely wet soil, water was then put into the pool to see if there were air bubbles. Water seemed to be traveling out of the expansion joints, and a few other pool cracks, so the excavation targeted the center of the pool deck areas, digging the full depth of the pool. Finally, water was gushing out of the pipes in these locations at high rates. (Pictures attached). NEXT STEPS: If the pool is to be operational in 2007, the following steps would need to be taken: a. Excavate the entire deck. b. Replace all the piping around the pool and the main line into the pool from the pump house. c. Determine if the pool shell will be able to hold the water for the summer by boring into the sides. d. Replace all decking and fencing prior to opening. e. Estimated costs with staff doing the majority of the work,plus using existing concrete contractor: $50,000. f. Estimated time frame,pending no other major structural findings: 30 days. This would put us in the middle of the swim season, with only four or five weeks remaining for pool use in 2007. g. These repairs listed are only temporary fixes; more permanent ones are outlined in the report from Aquatic Design. JASTRO POOL ATTENDANCE: Jastro pool has experienced major attendance decreases since McMurtrey Aquatic Center opened in 2004. Jastro Pool was closed during the 2004 pool season, and reopened for about eight weeks in 2005 to a total attendance of 1,002. In 2006, it opened as an instructional pool only, increasing attendance to 2,152. Its close proximity to McMurtrey hinders attendance as a general swimming pool, but does provide space for an instructional pool, especially for private and semi-private lessons. (Attendance charts attached). ALTERNATE USE: City staff from both Recreation and Parks and Public Works Departments are doing everything they can to make Jastro Pool a functional, workable pool. It was built in the early 1960's with metal pipes which do not mix with chemically treated water over time. It no longer meets the current Health codes for public pool operation; however, the Kern County Health Department is willing to work with us to grandfather in existing conditions if we choose to open again. Jastro Park pool is an excellent location for a Wet Playground, otherwise known as a Spray parks. The basic water supply is there, with restrooms available. The five existing wet playgrounds at Beale, Planz, MLK, Wayside and Jefferson are very well attended each day. At any given time at these various sites, there are usually 25-40 kids, depending on the time of day. The Spray parks operate from early April to late October, providing seven months of free, daily water play for area children and families. Hours of daily operation are from l O:OOAM to 8:OOPM. Lifeguards are not needed due to no standing water in the wet play areas. Vandalism at these Spray parks has been minimal due to their high use and popularity. Staff has been able to install these wet playgrounds for about $225,000, including costs of the structures. If a contractor is hired to install them, the cost would be about $350,000. CONCLUSION: Jastro Pool could be made into a working pool with staff doing most of the remedial repairs. These repairs would be temporary fixes by replacing the pipes going into and around the pool. In doing these remedial repairs, further pool damage may be discovered, thus making the repairs more costly and time consuming. Staff will also seal the existing cracks in the floor and walls of the pool, but again, this is only a temporary fix. The repairs do not address making the pool and bathhouse accessible or meeting current standards for water turnover rates, as referred to in the Aquatic Design report. Attendance at Jastro pool has declined in the two years it's been open since McMurtrey Aquatic center opened to the public. A long term solution that is cost effective is converting it into a spray park which operates seven months each year, not fenced in, and is ADA accessible. Staff is ready to proceed with either option: temporarily repair Jastro Pool as it is, or convert into a Spray park. Attachments: Pictures of water leaks, Aquatic Design Report and Attendance reports JASTRO PARK EXISTING SWIMMING POOL ASSESSMENT I.I AQUATIC DESIGN GROUP ASSESSMENT 1.2 Introduction This report summarizes the architectural assessment of the Jastro Park swimming pool and its related equipment. This assessment is based upon the conditions that we were able to observe, and staff information provided. As-built plans of the pool were not available for this review. No destructive testing has been conducted to determine the as-built conditions of the pool complex. Destructive testing and evaluation are outside of the scope of this report. Without destructive testing the structural viability of these components cannot be ascertained. 1.3 Scope I visited the Jastro Park swimming pool in Bakersfield, California to perform an assessment of the existing swimming pool. The swimming pool was drained and not open for use during my visit. The Jastro Park pool is a rectilinear outdoor pool. The Pool is classified as a public swimming pool as defined by California State Administrative Code Title 24, Chapter 31 B. The California Health and Safety Code Title 22, Uniform Fire Code Article 80, California Building Code Chapter 31 B also apply to this pool. The code required bathrooms are provided in an adjacent building and are excluded from the scope of this report. This building also houses the swimming pool mechanical and chemical equipment. This report is commissioned by the City of Bakersfield. During my site visit I met with City staff. The following report is a summary of the existing conditions, code violations, deficiencies and proposed improvements for rehabilitation of the Jastro swimming pool. The scope of this report includes the swimming pool, pool deck area, and pool mechanical equipment, but excludes the structural integrity of the pool shell and mechanical spaces. It also excludes handicap accessibility in path of travel to the pool and within the bathhouse. The architecture of the pool area buildings and locker rooms are not included in the scope of this report. This report identifies any conditions that do not comply with current codes that were found. Some of these conditions may currently be operating on a grandfathered exemption. It is important to note that though some grandfatherable exemptions by the County Environmental Health Services department may allow the pool to legally operate in non-compliance of current Title 24 and other standards, but that the liability of any health and safety risks to the public may still remain. We therefore recommend that these issues should be reviewed on an individual basis for determination of disposition and possible remedy for each violation. Certain violations of the State Administrative Code may be due to deterioration and material failures in which the code requires that these violations be rectified immediately or the facility is to be shut down. Other violations may be due to modifications to the code over the years. Providing that the violation is not deemed an immediate health or safety risk the Environmental Health Department may allow the violation to exist as a "grandfatherable condition". These grandfathered conditions are normally allowed to exist until such time as when the facility is having work done in which the scope of the work will allow for the violation to be remedied. If such work were going to take place then the Environmental Health Department would demand that the violation be brought into compliance. AQUATIC DESIGN GROUP MAY 2007 JASTRO PARK BAKERSFIELD,CALIFORNIA Page 1 of 9 JASTRO PARK EXISTING SWIMMING POOL ASSESSMENT In addition to the code violations being of concern to the Environmental Health Department they can also be of concern to the City's Risk Manager as well. If a facility is in violation of the current State Code the liability exposure alone may warrant the remedy of the violation. Given the subjective nature of the interpretation of the code, violations that may be deemed a grandfatherable violation at one point may not be allowed at another time or by a different inspector. 1.4 Facility Data The Jastro pool is reported by staff to have been constructed in the early 1960's. The swimming pool is 75-feet long and 35-feet wide. The pool has water depths ranging from 3-feet to 5-feet. The pool is a poured in place concrete construction. The pool has a painted finish. It has a perimeter scum gutter and two floor drains for water recirculation. The pool floor has expansion joints that run the entire perimeter of the Pool floor separating the floor from the pool wall. An additional expansion joint divides the pool floor in half. Wall inlets near the bottom of the pool walls are utilized to introduce the filtered pool water back into the pool. The pool lacks ADA accessibility. The pool has two sets of walk-out stairs and both sides of the shallow end and two sets of recessed steps and grabrails at the deep end as means of egress from the pool. The pool does not have any underwater lights for night use of the pool. The pool is in relative close proximity to the City's newest aquatic facility, the McMurtrey Swim Center. 1.5 Programming The staff reports that the Jastro swimming pool was operating as a seasonal pool. The pool is reported to be used primarily for swim lessons and introduction to water classes. Staff also reports that there have been some discussions of some joint use of the swimming pool with the school district. Unfortunately the Jastro swimming pool lacks adequate depth to support typical high school swimming programs and uses. With a shallow end depth of 3-feet the pool is not deep enough for competitive swim flip turns. The deep end depth of 5-feet is not deep enough for racing platform dives into the pool. The National Federation of State High Schools requires a minimum of six lanes for a high school swim meet. These lanes must be a minimum width of seven feet. The Jastro pool at 35-feet wide is not wide enough to support a high school swim meet. The pool is also too small and too shallow to support high school water polo. The only high school programs the Jastro pool can support is physical education classes for shallow water and some lap swimming. From a high school stand point the problem with having swimmers train in a pool such as the Jastro pool is that the swimmers will not be conditioned to then compete in a regulation size pool and therefore will not be able to compete. For the City's swim lesson plan the existing Jastro pool can be used. The pool doesn't have as much walk-in stair area as is generally preferred for this type of programming. The pool also does not have any amenities to support much in recreation swimming, though this may be able to be supported by the McMurtrey pools. 1.6 Operational Issues The staff reports that they have conducted a cylinder test of the pool and determined that the pool is leaking twenty inches of water in a 24-hour period. With a surface area of 2,625 square feet every inch of water in this pool represents 1,636 gallons of water. AQUATIC DESIGN GROUP MAY 2007 JASTRO PARK BAKERSFIELD,CALIFORNIA Page 2 of 9 JASTRO PARK EXISTING SWIMMING POOL ASSESSMENT A 20-inch daily water loss then equates to 32,725 gallons of water. With a total volume of 75,750 gallons the pool is loosing about half of its water daily due to water leaks. The City has conducted several other tests to try to determine the source or sources of the water leaks. These tests have included video camera inspections of the pool piping, dye tests of visible pool structure cracks and expansion joints, and excavation around the outside of the pool at certain locations. Based upon these tests the conclusion is that the pool has numerous sources of pool water leaks. The problem areas leading to some of the identified leaks include the following: • Expansion joint leaks in the pool shell • Pool shell crack leaks • Gutter systems crack leaks • Gutter piping leaks • Pool return piping leaks The pool gutter is also reported to be out of level, which would indicate some settling of the pool structure or surrounding soils. Some of the excavations around the pool have also found areas void of soils under the pool deck and around the pool shell. 1.7 Pool Deck and Appurtenances The pool is surrounded by a natural concrete decking. Portions of the pool deck have been removed to provide access for the water leaks tests. After viewing the exposed concrete sections the pool decking does not appear to have substantial reinforcement to prevent differential movement or failures. If the pool piping is to be replaced to solve some of the pool leaks the entire pool deck will have to be removed and replaced. 1.8 Pool Mechanical The pool mechanical equipment is located in a small bathhouse adjacent to the swimming pool. The original pool mechanical equipment has been replaced. A gas fired heater was also added to the pool mechanical system. The pool water is filtered by a Pentair brand two tank Triton TR-140 high rate sand filter system with a total media surface area of 14.12 square feet. There pool water is pumped via a centrifugal pump. The pool heater appears to be worn and in need of replacement. The city staff reports that the pool recirculation flow rate is between 150 to 180 gallons per minute. To meet the current code requirement of a six hour turnover rate the pool water flow rate needs to be 211 gallons per minute. The pool water chemicals are stored in the same area as the pool mechanical equipment. 1.9 Non- Code Compliant Conditions The following are conditions found that do not comply with current code standards. If the pool were to be renovated or repaired there is a chance that the local environmental health authority will require that all non-compliant conditions be brought into compliance. I. Pool water leaks. 2. Pool gutter out of level. 3. The perimeter fence is a 2" chain link fabric. 4. Pool turnover rate. 5. Swimming Pool walk-out stairs lack contrasting color per code. 6. Pool perimeter fence. AQUATIC DESIGN GROUP MAY 2007 JASTRO PARK BAKERSFIELD,CALIFORNIA Page 3 of 9 JASTRO PARK EXISTING SWIMMING POOL ASSESSMENT The water leaks noted above appear to be coming from various sources in the pool system. It may be prudent to have additional destructive testing conducted to take core samples of the pool shell at the pool cracks to determine the exact extent of the pool shell failure if the existing pool shell is to be reused in a pool renovation. At a minimum all of the pool piping should be replaced. The pool inlets should be replaced at the same time. This will require that the pool deck be removed and replaced to provide access to these pipes. In addition the pool gutters should be removed and replaced. The pool expansion joints should be removed and replaced to eliminate them as a potential water leak. Underwater lights could be added at this time if desired to support night use of the pool. The pool will also have to be refinished as part of this type of project. The Pool pump will need to be replaced if the pool is to provide the code required 6-hour turnover rate. 1.10 Maintenance I. The pool heater needs to be replaced. 2. The pool chemicals should be stored in an isolated area. 1.11 Existing Pool Renovation Opinion of Probable Costs LINE ITEMS ITEM DES- IPTION SZTY ESTIMATE 1.9.0 CODE COMPLIANCE 1.9.1 Replace pool expansion joints Lump Sum $ 70,000.00 1.9.2 Repair pool shell cracks Lump Sum $ 45,000.00 1.9.3 Replace pool gutter Lump Sum $ 1 10,000.00 1.9.4 Replace underground pool piping Lump Sum $ 65,000.00 1.9.5 New mechanical room piping Lump Sum $ 8,400.00 1.8.6 New pool circulation pump Lump Sum $ 2,500.00 1.9.7 New pool finish Lump Sum $ 75,000.00 1.9.8 New perimeter fence mesh Lump Sum $ 15,000.00 1.9.9 New pool inlets Lump Sum $ 18,000.00 1.9.10 New pool deck Lump Sum $ 156,420.00 1.9.1 1 New pool grabrails and handrails Lump Sum $ 12,000.00 1.9.12 TOTAL CODE COMPLIANCE $ 655,900.00 1.10.0 MAINTENANCE&OPERATIONS 1.10.1 New pool heater Lump Sum $ 26,000.00 1.10.2 New chemical storage area Lump Sum $ 50,000.00 1.10.3 TOTAL MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS $ 76,000.00 AQUATIC DESIGN GROUP MAY 2007 JASTRO PARK BAKERSFIELD,CALIFORNIA Page 4 of 9 JASTRO PARK EXISTING SWIMMING POOL ASSESSMENT PROFORMA EXISTING POOL RENOVATION PROJECT OPINION OF PROBABLE COST ITEM DESCRIPTION TY ESTIMATE 1.9.0 CODE COMPLIANCE 1.9.1 Replace/repair pool expansion joints Lump um 1.9.2 Repair pool shell cracks p $ 70,000.00 Lump Sum $ 45,000.00 1.9.3 Replace pool gutter Lump um 1.9.4 Replace underground piping p $ 1 10,000.00 Lump Sum $ 65,000.00 1.9.5 New mechanical room piping Lum Sum P $ 8,400.00 1.9.6 New pool recirculation pump Lump Sum $ 2,500.00 1.9.7 New pool finish Lump Sum $ 75,000.00 1.9.8 New perimeter fence fabric Lump Sum $ 15,000.00 19.9 New pool return inlets Lump Sum $ 18,000.00 1.9.10 New pool deck Lump Sum $ 156,420.00 1.9-11 New deck grabrails and handrails Lump Sum $ 12,000.00 1.9.12 TOTAL CODE COMPLIANCE $ 577,320.00 1.10.0 MAINTENANCE&OPERATIONS 1.10.1 New pool heater Lump Sum $ 26,000.00 1.10.2 New chemical storage area Lump Sum $ 50,000.00 1.10.3 TOTAL MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS $ 76,000.00 1.1 1.0 SOFT COSTS 1.1 1.1 General Contractor Mark-up 15% $ 97,998.00 1.11.2 Contingency 15% $ 97,998.00 1.1 1.3 Architectural&Engineering 12% $ 78,398.40 1.1 1.4 Tests& Inspections 1.1 1.5 Acceleration (Annual Rate) 1 8% $ 6,533.20 1.1 1.6 TOTAL SOFT COSTS $ 52, 0 $ 333,193 1 93..20 2.1 1.0 TOTAL PROJECT COST $ 986,513.20 AQUATIC DESIGN GROUP MAY 2007 JASTRO PARK BAKERSFIELD,CALIFORNIA Page 5 of 9 JASTRO PARK EXISTING SWIMMING POOL ASSESSMENT 1.12 Replacement Pool Opinion of Probable Costs The following is an estimate to replace the existing pool with a new pool of the exact same size and configuration as the present one.

Code Enforcement went out to Kentucky St. and found in the 1500 and 1600 blocks there was tumbleweeds and multiple shopping carts all over the neighborhood.

We have contacted Luis Peralez in Public Works Dept. and we will have a crew go out on Saturday to abate the tumbleweeds. 1 f B A K E R S F I E L D Z��J MEMORANDUM June 11, 2007 TO: Alan Tandy, City anager �4i__�- FROM: Maurice Randall, Business Manager THROUGH. Florn Core, Water Resources Manager SUBJECT: CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE Council Referral No. 001753 (Ward No. 2) During the City Council meeting of May 9, 2007, Council Member Benham requested assistance by staff regarding an e-mail from Stephen Montgomery concerning California Water Service's poor practice of leaving excessive locator marks for their meter boxes and not cleaning up after repairs and maintenance on city streets. Staff contacted California Water's district manager Timothy Treloar regarding Stephen Montgomery's e-mail concerning their poor practices related to marking streets and clean- up while making service related repairs. Cal Water contacted Mr. Montgomery and provided the following information: They explained to the customer that they typically use a chalk type paint that only last a few months. The reason that they use that type of paint to mark their facilities is because it's required by law. They further explained that what may seem as excessive marking is an effort to prevent damage to water pipes and to minimize disruption in service to customers. They apologized to Mr. Montgomery for leaving a bit of a mess at the site and thanked him for bringing the meter box lid to their attention. Cal Water met with their crews and reminded them that it isn't company practice to leave a mess at street repair sites or old lids lying around. Finally, they explained to the customer that streets in Bakersfield may seem to get marked on a lot but that is strictly because there is a lot of construction work occurring here in town. B A K E R S F i E L D CITY OF BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Raul Rojas, Public Works Director DATE: June 11, 2007 SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ON TAFT HIGHWAY Referral No. 1766 COUNCILMEMBER COUCH REQUESTED THAT STAFF EXPLORE THE CONCEPT OF ESTABLISHING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ON TAFT HIGHWAY WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS APPROVED FOR SEVENTH STANDARD ROAD. Staff could develop a similar standard for Taft Highway as was developed for Seventh Standard Road. It should be noted that there are many new developments already approved along the Taft Highway alignment between Gosford Road and Wible Road. Those already approved developments did not require additional landscape improvements to be provided. Therefore, retrofitting additional landscape would be problematic. Given the above, an enhanced standard can still be developed for the remainder of those areas not yet developed. Staff will prepare a map of the area that indicates which developments have already been approved to determine the possibility of applying this new standard. z z z z z z v 0 0 CD CA UI W _ O O O n Q = O (D 0 p (�D (D 0 CAD O 0 o Q (�D 0 CL n 77 O X '� CD ( Q n (D Q O � W o � �, 0 � 0 00 0 " 0 0 G) , 3 00 (° go o O CD CD0- cD (D 0 ((D ° cJ � CD om � � (D N 0 0 �' CD O CD < :3 5• T � O (D Cc 71, CD 0 � � Q (n (D(D CD 3 -n n O (D _0 O (D 3 _.

Hiding Electrical Lines and Poles Many customers find the look of utility poles that carry power lines unappealing. Poles cannot totally be hidden,but here are some tips: • Use vegetation to draw your eyes away from poles. • Plant trees that have a spreading crown to diffuse the vertical view. • Strategically plant trees in your yard to block the view of poles. Keep in mind that you have to look up to see the lines. For example, trees that have a spreading crown can be 20 feet from lines, blocking a view of poles and lines.And they'll never need to be trimmed because they are not a hazard to the lines. • Plant lower-growing trees or shrubs near the base of poles,but no closer than five feet. There is an exception: If you reside in an area where the state is responsible for fire protection,you cannot plant anything closer than 10 feet from poles.See pole.clearing. • Plant trees at least six feet to the side of underground facilities,such as electric,gas and telephone lines,and television cables. To find out where these facilities are located, call Underground._Service Alert at 1 (800)227-2600 at least three days before you plant. Also remember: • Do not plant trees that grow tall near poles.Tall trees grow into lines and may present other safety risks.When trimmed or removed, poles will be exposed again. • Do not plant vines that will grow up poles.Vines on poles may pose a threat to utility workers,when climbing poles. In addition, care should be taken that trees are planted at least six feet to the side of underground facilities, such as electric,gas and telephone lines,and television cables. To find out where these facilities are,call Underground Service Alert at 1(800)227-2600 at least three days before you plant. http:"www.pge.com/fi eld_work_proj ects/vegetation_mgmt/education/index.html 6/7/2007 Response No. 3 Attachment Salary & Benefits Cost Comparison Worksheet Response No. 4 Attachment "Movies in the Park" Flyer MOVES IN.

Since 1974, Sport Court has developed over 50,000 projects world wide. They manufacture various types of sports floors, and the City of Bakersfield inherited the surface known as Defense. Defense is the best floor for sports such as Roller Hockey because it is so durable. In talking with the Sport Court representative, it is also an ideal court for indoor soccer, basketball, volleyball and a new, fast growing sport called "futsal." Futsal is a combination of soccer and football and is primarily played on roller hockey courts. The City of Bakersfield is in need of more gym floors that can handle basketball and indoor soccer. There is a huge need for more basketball courts, especially ones that are supervised and programmable. The soccer community is looking for more spaces to play, and adding indoor soccer to the city's facilities would be a big asset. Roller hockey is also a sport that has outgrown current local facilities, and participants are anxious to have another court to use. The court, when fully built, would have enough room for one full-sized roller hockey court. On the same floor, indoor soccer could be played. The floor could also be painted with basketball lines; with enough room under the roof for three basketball courts since the length of a basketball court is "We create a quality community through people, parks and programs" the same as the width of the roller hockey court. With these dimensions in mind, three volleyball games could also be played on the court if needed. The management of this facility is proposed to be contracted or leased out. The management company would pay the City for the opportunity to manage the courts, and the contract could include some revenue sharing. When in use, no matter what activity is being played, it will be supervised. Much like the ice arena, revenue would be derived from team fees, admission fees, and sponsorships. Advertising on the dasher boards can be sold for even more revenue generating possibilities. Other uses for this large facility may be corporate outings or similar type functions by laying down a tarp or simple floor covering. The floor is also suitable for dance lessons, recitals and competitions. Since it will be a multi-use court, the manufacturer recommends adding a rubber layer between the concrete base and the polypropylene tile surface that came with the rink. The estimated purchase cost of this layer is $15,000.00. Purchasing portable basketball hoops, soccer nets and volleyball nets would add an estimated $75,000 to the initial installation costs. Appropriate fowl lines and other boundary lines would need to be painted on the surface with Sport Court's recommended paint; costs will be determined by how many lines are actually needed. These proposed additional costs could easily be absorbed by the specific user groups and by user fees. By having a multiple-sport facility that has a roof, is supervised and controlled, this facility will be in constant use. Focusing on the three sports with highest current demand for space in Bakersfield: soccer, basketball and roller hockey; this facility would be heavily programmed with games, tournaments, practice times and league play. The potential revenue would support the facility, and the City has a win-win situation with local sports enthusiasts. Attachment: Sport Court folder "We create a quality community through people,parks and programs" B A K E R S F I E L D Department of Recreation and Parks Date: January 2, 2007 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: Dianne Hoover, 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. I. 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 up front 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 rent from the management company in addition to revenues 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 2"d, 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 games. By building a bigger base of potential players through roller hockey, the economy grows with the number of amateur players, fans and out of town guests. The Condors players have given back to the community as well by going to schools and various groups to encourage kids to get involved in positive activities. By providing another level of coaching, encouragement, and active recreation, the community reaps benefits on many levels, including economic, social and civic pride. 3. How will we operate it? It is our intention to bid out the operation of the Roller Hockey 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 try it and family nights where all ages are invited to attend as an introduction to roller hockey. It will benefit both the operator 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 attract new players. 4. Why do we need it? Currently, 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 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 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 teams. 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. 5. 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:OOAM to 10:OOPM. 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 rates. 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. 6. Why Saunders Park? Saunders Park is centrally located and easily accessible from major streets, Interstate 99 and Highway 58. It is well-buffered from adjacent properties, with 1-99 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 this park on our night patrol list which means it will be patrolled by a security firm randomly each night. 7. Additional information Attached is a letter from Kevin Kerwin, owner of Rollerama and a response from me, the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department. Also attached are letters of support from potential users of the Roller Hockey facility.

Please call if you have questions. Attachment cc: Dianne Hoover, Recreation and Parks Director P to ............:..._:........,:._:.: 6 if MAR 16 Z807 Department of Recreation and Parks Date: March 14, 2007 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: Diann "over, Recreation and Parks Director Subject: Casa Loma Park Assessment Radius — Park Assessment Potential As requested, the following information is provided in response to the question regarding potential revenue from active city projects within the park assessment radius of Casa Loma Park. The request also inquired whether the County has made any improvement to the park this past year. The attached chart identifies the originally proposed costs of improvements to Casa Loma compared to what has already been accomplished by County staff. According to our estimates, they have completed approximately $100,000 of items that City staff had originally identified as needed work. Of the remaining items that need to be done, restroom replacement is the most expensive. The current restrooms are usable, and most likely will be functional for quite some time. It is difficult to put a time on necessary replacement due to the extent of unknown vandalism that may happen, which would require replacement beyond repair. The annual maintenance costs to Casa Loma Park remains at $60,000. Potential revenue from nearby new construction for park maintenance is limited. The attached maps include all active Tentative Tract Maps and Site Plan Review projects as of this date in the area of Casa Loma Park and show a 3/ mile assessment radius boundary. The assessment radius is generally used as the boundary but is modified slightly at major streets or other physical constraints such as canals. The radius touches two Tentative Tracts, the first being 6521 located south of Casa Loma Drive and east of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, the second being 6917 located south of Wilson Road and west of South Union Avenue. Additionally, the Casa Loma Apartments project located at the southeast corner of Casa Loma Drive and Louts Lane is within the park assessment radius. "We create a quality community through people,parks and programs" Since the assessment radius of the park only partially covers a few lots in the far northwest portion of Tentative Tract 6521 current policy would not allow for assessment of any lots in the tract and would utilize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard as the easterly assessment boundary for the park. Additionally, the assessment radius of the park covers over half of the lots in Tentative Tract 6917 with no physical constraints to the remaining lots; therefore, all 23 lots of the subdivision could be assessed for park maintenance when they are improved with mobile homes. Casa Loma Apartments, at build out, will provide 113 units. Section D. Public Works — Engineering of the Site Plan Compliance List for the project includes the following condition of approval: The developer shall form a maintenance district for maintaining the future landscaped median island within Casa Loma Drive along the entire frontage of the development. The developer must contact the Public Works Department for requirements to form the maintenance district prior to issuance of a Building Permit. Although park maintenance is not specifically addressed in the condition, it could be inferred that this project be assessed if and when a park were provided; therefore, the project could add an additional 113 units. The attached Consolidated Maintenance District Cost per Tier document indicates a Park Tier Level 1 assessment of$18.52 per EDU (equivalent dwelling unit). The potential revenue from future development of active Tentative Tracts within the assessment radius of Casa Loma Park is: 23 EDU's x $18.52 for annual revenue of$425.96. (Tract 6917) The potential revenue from future development of active Site Plan Review projects within the assessment radius of Casa Loma Park is; 113 EDU's x $18.52 for annual revenue of$2,092.76 (Casa Loma Apartments) The Casa Loma Apartments are also located within the park assessment radius of a future city park in Tentative Tract 6521. Therefore, if it is decided that an actual park assessment fee can be charged, the annual maintenance dollars could be designated for the new city park or Casa Loma Park if the city maintains it. The apartment complex happens to be located between the two parks. Please see attached.

Your proposal meets the minimum required codes, policies and standards for development as adopted by the Bakersfield City Council. Specific items have been noted (see attached Site Plan Compliance List) that you need to resolve before you can obtain a building permit or be allowed occupancy. These items may include changes or additions that need to be shown on the final building plans, alert you to specific fees, and/or are comments that will help you in complying with the city's development standards. Each item will note when it is to be completed and they have been grouped by department so that you know who to contact if you have questions. Your next step is to either apply for necessary building permits to construct your project, or begin your business activities depending on the request submitted. You must submit final building plans to the Building Division. The Site Plan Review Committee will review these finaLplans while building plan check occurs to ensure that you satisfy the items in the Site Plan Compliance List. Please react them carefully. Failure to satisfy an item may delay your obtaining a building permit or commencing your project. After construction of your project but before the City can allow occupancy,the Building Division must inspect the development to find if it complies with the approved plans, and any other relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the requirements, the Building Director will issue a certificate of occupancy; if not, the area inspector will give you a correction notice. Once you have made all of the corrections, the Building Director can issue a certificate of occupancy. You may not occupy a development until the Building Director has issued a certificate of occupancy. REVISIONS TO THE APPROVED PLAN Any time after site plan approval but before the approval expires, you may submit revisions to the plan. We will treat these revisions as a new site plan application subject to a new review and required fees. The Planning Director can only approve minor changes to the original plan without a new application if they are necessary to meet a condition, mitigation, or result from physical obstacles or other comparable constraints. City of Bakersfield • 1715 Chester Avenue • Bakersfield, California • 93301 sPR #02-0551 Page 2 EXPIRATION OF PLAN APPROVAL Approval of this site plan expires on July 2, 2004, (2 years from the decision date) unless building permits have been issued, or on projects not requiring a building permit, the use has commenced. The project must be completed within 5 years from the decision date. If the property is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective date of the rezoning unless the use is permitted in the new zone. . The Planning Director may extend the expiration date up to one(I) year if you resubmit new plans for check against the code requirements in effect at that time and include a written request for the extension. We must receive this request before expiration of the project approval. We will not require a fee for this extension request; however, changes to the plans originally approved for purposes other than code requirements shall be subject to a new site plan review, including payment of all required fees. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION In accordance with the provisions of CEQA, an initial study was conducted for this project and it was found that it would not have a significant effect on the environment. A public hearing was held on July 2, 2002, accepting public testimony on the project and its environmental effects, and a Negative Declaration was approved by the Development Services Director at the conclusion of the hearing. Public hearing notices were posted, mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the project area, and published in a local newspaper of general circulation at least 20 days before the hearing. APPEAL Any person may appeal this decision. An appeal is limited to whether or not an adopted development standard, zoning regulation, mitigation, or policy applied or not applied to the project, was done consistent with the authority granted by city ordinances or the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The appeal must be in writing stating the precise basis or issue as noted, include a $334 filing fee, and must be filed within 10 days of the decision date to the City of Bakersfield Planning Commission (c/o Bakersfield Planning Director, 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93301). The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the appeal and their decision will be final unless their decision is appealed to the City Council. Site plan approval is based on the statements made in the application and the plans you submitted. Any errors or omissions on these plans could alter the compliance list and/or void this decision. If you have questions about any of the items noted in the Site Plan Compliance List, you must speak to the contact person representing the department requiring that item.

This repair will be temporary versus a more permanent repair allowing us to avoid the pool being closed to the public this summer. The repairs began this week on the leak sources at Jastro Pool. This project will consist of repairs of the leaks, replacing concrete deck areas, pool painting, fence repair, and mechanical equipment maintenance. The pool is tentatively scheduled to reopen to the public in early July. 1 JASTRO POOL MAY 29, 2007 Jastro Pool, located on Truxtun Avenue in Jastro Park, is currently being assessed for the source of major leaks. Toward the end of 2006 pool season, Jastro Pool was losing about 32,000 gallons of water a day. In 2005,the pool closed for two weeks to repair leakage due to water loss of 20,000 gallons per day. That repair was more temporary than we had originally hoped for, and the search for the main cause of the leak began in January of 2007. The following is a summary of the various actions staff has taken to get to the source of leakage: 1. Standard Leak Test: A standard leak test was the first test conducted and consists of shutting off all pumps and placing a cylinder into the pool. The water in the cylinder accounts for evaporation loss. In a 24-hour period,the water level dropped over 20 inches below the water level in the cylinder indicating a water loss greater than 32,800 gallons per day. The pumps were not operating during this leak test. The test was done on two separate occasions, and after each test,the pool would have only 2inches remaining in the bottom after 72 hours. 2. Video Camera Test: The second test was using a video camera from the sewer department to visually assess the lines into the pool. The return lines were not able to be videoed due their size and significant corrosion. The video did show cracking and deterioration in the gutter system, corrosion in the main drain lines, and severe deterioration in the sumps for each main drain. 3. Dye Tests: Dye tests were then conducted with a scuba diver to confirm the main water loss points. This test consists of a scuba diver spraying dye near the identified leak points to determine the flow of water. Once the dye was released, it was pulled into 4 return lines and both drain sumps. This showed that the majority of water loss was through the return lines. 4. Drilling: Next, staff excavated next to the pool deck in selected locations to find the main source of the leak. The drilling tool used would drop 2-3 feet into caverns in some locations indicating that there were large empty spaces in different areas around the pool. 5. Aquatic Design Assessment: Staff then contracted with Aquatic Design, recognized experts in pool structures, to provide an assessment of the pool leakage problem. The report summarizes the leak problem in the following paragraph from page 4 of the Aquatic Design Report: "The water leaks noted above appear to be coming from various sources in the pool system. It may be prudent to have additional destructive testing conducted to take core samples of the pool shell at the pool cracks to determine the exact extent of the pool shell failure if the existing pool shell is to be reused in a pool renovation. At a minimum all of the pool piping should be replaced. The pool inlets should be replaced at the same time. This will require that pool deck be removed and replaced to provide access to these pipes." He estimates the pool renovation costs, in its existing shell and condition,to be about $650,000, but that estimate does not include extra soft costs such as contractual agreements. To fully repair Jastro pool, according to Aquatic Design would be about one million dollars. (Full report from Aquatic Design is attached). 6. Air Pressure Test: Staff then tested the return lines by forcing air pressure into them. The lines would not hold pressure, indicating damage somewhere in the lines. 7. Excavation: Even after all these tests, we still did not have a clear picture of where all that water was going, and what was the major source of the leaks. Public Works staff then began major excavation work around the perimeter of the pool, first exposing the entire west wall (the deep end). Not finding major water damage or extremely wet soil, water was then put into the pool to see if there were air bubbles. Water seemed to be traveling out of the expansion joints, and a few other pool cracks, so the excavation targeted the center of the pool deck areas, digging the full depth of the pool. Finally, water was gushing out of the pipes in these locations at high rates. (Pictures attached). NEXT STEPS: If the pool is to be operational in 2007,the following steps would need to be taken: a. Excavate the entire deck. b. Replace all the piping around the pool and the main line into the pool from the pump house. c. Determine if the pool shell will be able to hold the water for the summer by boring into the sides. d. Replace all decking and fencing prior to opening. e. Estimated costs with staff doing the majority of the work, plus using existing concrete contractor: $50,000. f. Estimated time frame, pending no other major structural findings: 30 days. This would put us in the middle of the swim season, with only four or five weeks remaining for pool use in 2007. g. These repairs listed are only temporary fixes; more permanent ones are outlined in the report from Aquatic Design. JASTRO POOL ATTENDANCE: Jastro pool has experienced major attendance decreases since McMurtrey Aquatic Center opened in 2004. Jastro Pool was closed during the 2004 pool season, and reopened for about eight weeks in 2005 to a total attendance of 1,002. In 2006, it opened as an instructional pool only, increasing attendance to 2,152. Its close proximity to McMurtrey hinders attendance as a general swimming pool, but does provide space for an instructional pool, especially for private and semi-private lessons. (Attendance charts attached). ALTERNATE USE: City staff from both Recreation and Parks and Public Works Departments are doing everything they can to make Jastro Pool a functional, workable pool. It was built in the early 1960's with metal pipes which do not mix with chemically treated water over time. It no longer meets the current Health codes for public pool operation; however, the Kern County Health Department is willing to work with us to grandfather in existing conditions if we choose to open again. Jastro Park pool is an excellent location for a Wet Playground, otherwise known as a Spray parks. The basic water supply is there, with restrooms available. The five existing wet playgrounds at Beale, Planz, MLK, Wayside and Jefferson are very well attended each day. At any given time at these various sites,there are usually 25-40 kids, depending on the time of day. The Spray parks operate from early April to late October,providing seven months of free, daily water play for area children and families. Hours of daily operation are from 10:00AM to 8:OOPM. Lifeguards are not needed due to no standing water in the wet play areas. Vandalism at these Spray parks has been minimal due to their high use and popularity. Staff has been able to install these wet playgrounds for about$225,000, including costs of the structures. If a contractor is hired to install them,the cost would be about $350,000. CONCLUSION: Jastro Pool could be made into a working pool with staff doing most of the remedial repairs. These repairs would be temporary fixes by replacing the pipes going into and around the pool. In doing these remedial repairs, further pool damage may be discovered,thus making the repairs more costly and time consuming. Staff will also seal the existing cracks in the floor and walls of the pool, but again,this is only a temporary fix. The repairs do not address making the pool and bathhouse accessible or meeting current standards for water turnover rates, as referred to in the Aquatic Design report. Attendance at Jastro pool has declined in the two years it's been open since McMurtrey Aquatic center opened to the public. A long term solution that is cost effective is converting it into a spray park which operates seven months each year, not fenced in, and is ADA accessible. Staff is ready to proceed with either option: temporarily repair Jastro Pool as it is, or convert into a Spray park.

Parks Safety Satisfaction More than eight of every 10 households polled (83%) stated that they are somewhat or very satisfied with the safety of recreation and parks facilities in the City.An additional 17% of respondents replied that they are somewhat or very dissatisfied with such safety. Recreation Benefits Approximately equal shares of respondents stated that they seek physical fitness,health and well-being benefits or opportunities to gather and socialize with others from their recreation choices (each garnering a 36%response).Together, these two benefits were identified by 72% of those polled. The benefit of learning opportunities for hobby, self-improvement or career development was a priority for 20% of the responding residents while 9% cited benefiting from recreational opportunities to give back to the community through volunteer work. The Park at River Walk Nearly two of every three respondents (64%) stated that they recognize the name "the Park at River Walk" and they know what it refers to.An additional 28% of those polled agreed with the statement"I have heard that name but I know nothing else about it." Nearly one in 10 (9 0/6) residents agreed with the statement"I have never heard that name." One in seven households polled (14%) expected they would be a "Frequent User" of the Park at River Walk during the next year. Nearly half of residents polled by telephone (47%) forecast they would be "Moderate Users"while the remainder (39%) was labeled "Light/Non Users." Nearly one in four respondents Page 3-6 Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis (23%) stated they had no plans to use the Park at River Walk in the next year. Recreation Facility Usage Nearly one of every three (32%) of the sample of telephone respondents described themselves as a "Frequent User" of parks and recreation facilities. Four or every 10 residents polled by telephone (45%) were "Moderate Users"while the remainder (23%) was labeled "Light/Non Users." Greater than one in 10 respondents (12 9/6) reported no recreation facility usage during the past year. Frequent recreation facility users were most often found among those polled reporting a head of household less than 40 years (45% frequent users vs. 25% frequent users among those 40 years or over), among respondents who are residents of Bakersfield for five years or less (41% frequent users vs. 30% among remaining residents), among residents of Northwest and Southeast Bakersfield (39% and 37%,respectively vs. 25%in the Southwest and 28%in the South Central subarea), and among respondents who stated they are seeking health/fitness or social interaction benefits from their recreation choices (36%) vs. 24%among those looking to learn/improve themselves. Selected Facility Usage More than four in 10 respondents (42%) reported having at least one member who used the Kern River Parkway in the past year. This compares with a 34% usage incidence charted during an April 2000 survey conducted on behalf of the City.Thus, usage of this important local recreation resource has increased.The Ice Sports Center was reportedly used by members of 20% of households in the last year while the McMurtrey Aquatic Center was used by 17% of households. Indoor Facility Usage One in seven respondents (14%) described themselves as a "Frequent User" of indoor recreation facilities,while one of every five residents polled by telephone (22%) were "Moderate Users" of indoor recreation facilities during the past year. The remainder (64%) was labeled "Light/Non Users." More than half of the respondents (57 9/6) reported no indoor recreation facility usage during the past year. i Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page 3-7 CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis Selected Indoor Facility Use One in seven residents questioned (15 1/6) reported having at least one member who used the Silver Creek Community Center in the past year.

(Raul Rojas) Couch At the present time, the intersection of Ming Avenue at River Run is not warranted for a traffic signal. It is expected to be warranted when the adjacent Castle and Cooke development of commercial property is built. Castle and Cooke is the developer of the area and have designed the plans for the traffic signal to go in with the development in anticipation of the location meeting warrants in the future. Timing of the commercial development is not known.

Couch (Raul Rojas) When the project was in design phase, staff asked the owner of the property to dedicate the right of way necessary for the west-bound-to-north-bound right turn lane at this intersection. The offer was if the owner would dedicate it, the City would construct the improvements. (The norm is that the property owner will be responsible for both the dedication and construction costs when he develops the property.) The property owner declined this offer, so staff was not able to include construction of this right turn lane in the current project. After the budget presentation on June 4, 2007, staff again contacted the property owner and asked him if he would dedicate the necessary right of way. He is now considering it. In the event that he does dedicate that right of way, staff will bring forth a project to construct this right turn lane.

Stockdale west of Allen Road: Currently we have no budget to construct this missing portion of the median. We will continue to keep this section of median on our "radar screen" and construct it when money becomes available. 2. Hageman west of Coffee Road: This portion of median simply needs to have a minor amount of landscaping installed. We will work with the Parks Department to complete this work. 3. Olive Drive at Calloway Drive: We recently completed all of the necessary construction for this road widening project. The remaining landscaping portion will be designed and completed within the next six months to one year. This project was part of a larger intersection project that involved moving the Friant Kern Canal and as such is funded through the Transportation Development Fund.

Answer: No. The City will not face liability issues similar to the issued that could arise from the creation of a Quiet zone. The City is not creating a Quiet Zone. Rather, it is merely doing road improvements and paying UPRR to construct improvements on the crossing. UPRR is responsible for all signal construction and any work within two feet of the tracks.

Budget Presentations Response No. 18 Would like more information about the differences in Councilmember rates collected by the various water service Carson companies. (Florn Core) The rates California Water Service Co. charges are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission. Unlike the City of Bakersfield, Cal Water is allowed to recover a reasonable rate of return on its operations and they are required to pay income taxes on the profits. Cal Water has operated and maintained its water system in central, northeast and southeast Bakersfield since 1927. Due to the age of many of their facilities the system continues to require large capital replacement costs as well as higher ongoing maintenance and operational costs on an annual basis. In an effort to meet increased water quality standards and reduce annual capital and operational costs Cal Water recently took advantage of the newest technology in water treatment by investing in a new $50 million water filtration plant in Bakersfield which should help stabilize rates in the future.

(Councilmember Benham The attachments are in response to the question raised by Councilmember Benham during department budget presentations. Planning staff has been reviewing ways that the City could promote infill development and new urbanism concepts without a major overhaul of existing processes. The attached memorandum contains their initial report. Agricultural policies of the general plan and their relationship to CEQA, are contained in the attached outline. At this time, we do not have a uniform strategy to mitigate the loss of agricultural land. The issue is being addressed on a project by project basis. A different approach may emerge through the general plan update process. SG\dlc attachments B A K E R S F I E L D Development Services Department - Planning Division M EMORANDUM June 7, 2007 TO: STANLEY C. GRADY, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FROM: HAYWARD J. COX, ASSOCIATE PLANNER,-C , ` SUBJECT: SHORT-TERM SMART GROWTH IMPLEMENTATION Jim M., Jim E., Paul, and I have followed up on our discussion regarding potential Smart Growth implementation opportunities. The following outline describes the short-term implementation measures, including anticipated processing timeframes, we propose to undertake subject to your approval: 1. Establish a new overlay zone which can be applied to older residential and commercial infill development areas to invigorate growth through modified development standards, including but not limited to: a. Reduced parking requirements; b. Mixed-use development, including live/work lofts; and C. Waiving owner-occupancy requirements for second dwelling units. This measure will allow for greater density in older areas of the City. It will also eliminate the need for special hearings to attain needed flexibility in zoning standards for these areas. The Baker Street area is a candidate for implementation of this overlay zone following its adoption. Planning Commission Hearing: Approx. 3- 4 months 2. Require parkway landscape strips along public streets to improve walkability. Coordinate with Public Works based upon the design work formerly presented at the Council Committee level. No Planning Commission action necessary. This measure will improve the aesthetics of public streets, improve walkability, and enhance pedestrian safety by providing a buffer between pedestrians and vehicular traffic. -1- City Council Hearing: Approx. 2-3 months 3. Modify the design standards of the multi-family zones to improve the architectural design quality of such development, particularly smaller infill developments in the R-3 and R-4 zones. This measure will improve and preserve the architectural quality of residential neighborhoods. Planning Commission Hearing: Approx. 2-3 months 4. Comprehensively review the Parking Ordinance and modify where appropriate, possibly including: a. Allow tandem parking spaces in certain residential infill developments, provided they are not located within the required front yard setback. b. Reduce the guest parking requirements for residential developments of 2 to 4 units on lots of 10,000 square feet or more. C. To avoid excessive mandatory parking development, require parking studies in larger developments to determine minimum acceptable parking levels, or use staff-run model for parking. d. Relax parking requirements in certain residential and commercial mixed- use zones where adequate on-street parking exists. e. Allow on-street parking to be applied towards parking requirements in existing infill circumstances/developments. f. Determine minimum/maximum parking requirements for mixed-use zones. This measure will eliminate over-development of parking lots, reduce the heat- island effects of new development, and improve the aesthetics of the community. Planning Commission Hearing: Approx. 4-6 months 5. Incorporate policies into the General Plan and adopt zoning standards to promote greater connectivity between residential and neighboring commercial uses including: a. Require commercial developments in newly developing areas to be bounded by public streets. b. Greater use of the grid street pattern and shortened block lengths. C. Require direct pedestrian connections, with enhanced design standards to ensure public safety, from residential subdivisions to adjacent commercial development areas. d. Apply the pedestrian walkway and public space provisions of the Large Retail Centers Ordinance to certain smaller commercial and mixed-use developments, where such developments are adjacent to residential areas. -2- This measure will relieve traffic congestion on arterials by providing alternate routes, reducing the distance of pedestrian and vehicular trips to neighborhood destinations, encouraging walkability and generally improving circulation and accessibility between neighborhoods and commercial developments. Planning Commission Hearing: September, 2007 Long-Term Implementation Measures Other potential implementation measures discussed, but deemed to be long-term measures to be addressed through the General Plan Update process and beyond include: 1. Further develop the General Plan concept of mixed-use centers, surrounded by medium density residential uses. Enhance the current C-B and C-C Zones, or develop a new zone for this undertaking. 2. Consider the requirement to incorporate a mixture of uses within the C-B and C- C zones, or create a new zone, possibly including a required minimum intensity of development (e.g. minimum floor area ratio and/or lot coverage). 3. Revise the minimum and maximum density levels in all "R" zones and General Plan land use designations to maximize the efficient use of remaining developable land (revisit minimum setbacks and lot sizes). 4. Consider requiring the preparation of Master Plans when the first development proposal is submitted within an area designated for a mixed-use center under the General Plan, regardless of the size of the proposal; 5. Consider form based zoning in the downtown area to achieve flexibility and a pedestrian friendly environment or a hybrid that addresses setback issues. 6. Expand downtown provisions and coordinate various downtown plans and areas (e.g. Downtown RDA, Central Parking District, Central City Master Street Tree Plan, etc). cc: Jim Movius Jim Eggert Paul Hellman SAHayward\Smart Growth Short-Term.doc -3- RELATIONSHIP TO COUNCIL GOALS Goal No. 4 Plan for growth and development No. 15 Develop strategies to reduce consumption of prime agricultural land for urban development RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN GOALS 1. Provide for the planned management, conservation, and wise utilization of agricultural land in the planning area. 2. Promote soil conservation and minimize development of prime agriculture land as defined by the following criteria: • Capability Class I and/or II irrigated soils • 80 — 100 Storie Index rating • Gross crop return of$200 or more per acre per year • Annual carrying capacity of 1 animal unit per acre per year 3. Establish urban development patterns and practices that promote soil conservation and that protect areas of agricultural production of food and fiber crops, and nursery products. POLICIES 2. Review projects that propose subdividing or urbanizing prime agricultural land to ascertain how continued commercial agricultural production in the project vicinity will be affected (1-2). 3. Protect areas designated for agricultural use, which include Class and II agricultural soils having surface delivery water systems, from the encroachment of residential and commercial subdivision development activities (1-2). 4. Monitor the amount of prime agricultural land taken out of production for urban uses or added within the plan area (1-3). 5. Encourage coordination between the Soil Conservation Service and local planning agencies (1-7). 9. Protect prime agricultural lands against unplanned urban development by adopting agriculture zoning, agricultural land use designations, and by encouraging use of the Williamson Act and the Farmland Security Zone Program and policies that provide tax and economic incentives to ensure the long-term retention of agricultural lands (1-5). 10. Encourage landowners to retain their lands in agricultural production (I- 6). 11. Encourage property owners to improve or preserve soil conditions (I- 7). 14. When considering proposals to convert designated agricultural lands to non-agricultural use, the decision making body of the City and County shall evaluate the following factors to determine the appropriateness of the proposal: • Soil quality • Availability of irrigation water • Proximity to non-agricultural uses • Proximity to intensive parcelization • Effect on properties subject to "Williamson Act' land use contract. • Ability to be provided with urban services (sewer, water, roads, etc.) • Ability to affect the application of agricultural chemicals on nearby agricultural properties. • Ability to create a precedent-setting situation that leads to the premature conversion of prime agricultural lands • Demonstrated project need • Necessity of buffers such as lower densities, setbacks, etc. (1-8) IMPLEMENTATION 2. Evaluate discretionary projects for their impact on agricultural resources. 3. Document urban expansion and changes in the amount of agricultural land for purposes of determining cumulative impacts to prime agriculture land. 5. Encourage the use of Land Conservation Act contracts in areas designated for agricultural land use. 6. Provide public information on economic incentives available to aid in the preservation of prime agricultural land. 7. Coordinate with the Soil Conservation Service to provide technical assistance on improving or preserving soil conditions. 8. Review General Plan Amendment proposals to urban uses in accordance with factors specified in Agricultural conservation Policy No. 14. RELATIONSHIP TO CEQA Would the Project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agriculture use, or a Williamson Act contract? C) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non- agricultural use? • Project Specific Impacts • Cumulative Impacts B A K E/: r 0 R S F 1 E L D Development Services Department Stanley C.

GRADY, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR DATE: June 8, 2007 SUBJECT: BUDGET WORKSHOP ON JUNE 4, 2007: RESPONSE TO COUNCIL QUESTIONS No. 22 Would like more information on the categories of group homes and the City's options to restrict the locations and/or proximity of group homes. (Councilmember Carson The attached material is in response to the question raised by Councilmember Carson during department budget presentations. SG\dlc attachment RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES State law preempts local zoning controls over licensed residential care facilities. If a licensed facility serves six or fewer persons (this does not count the caregivers), the law states this is a residential use and therefore, cannot be treated any differently than a typical family living situation. This means that the city cannot require any special permits, business license, home occupation permit, fire code restrictions, building codes, etc. unless such is required of any other family dwelling. Occupancy (number of people) is limited by the Uniform Housing Code, which applies to all residences, and is based on the size of each bedroom. The areas under state law cover a number of different types of residential care homes. These preemptions are found as follows: Health facilities (care for developmentally disabled and skilled nursing care) California Health and Safety Code Sections 1267.8, 1267.9 Community care facilities (covers all other types of care not already noted for adults and children) California Health and Safety Code Sections 1566.3, 1567.1 Residential care facilities for the elderly California Health and Safety Code Sections 1568.083, 1568.0831, 1569.85 Alcoholism recovery and drug abuse facilities California Health and Safety Code Sections 11834.02- 11834.30 Family day care homes (day care for children) California Health and Safety Code Sections 1596.70- 1596.795; 1597.40- 1597.47,1597.65 Homes or facilities for mentally disordered, handicapped, or dependent and neglected children California Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 5115- 5120 State law requires that a residential facility have a valid license to operate (Section 1568.5 of the Health and Safety Code). Therefore, if a facility is licensed by the state, the city must recognize the zoning preemption. Without a state license, the zoning preemption is not effective. Two agencies license these facilities. The State Department of Social Services licenses all day care, mental care, group, and elderly care homes. The State Department of Alcohol and Drugs licenses only alcohol and drug rehabilitation homes. Both agencies conduct annual inspections of these homes and will respond to complaints regarding their operation. There is no distinction made for secular verses non-secular providers. Over concentration of certain care homes in a neighborhood is also regulated by the state for licensed facilities. Licenses issued by the Department of Social Services (except for foster homes and elderly care) must be a minimum of 300 feet away from any other licensed home (as measured from the outside walls of the house - Section 1520.5 of the CA Health and Safety Code). If a home is less than the 300 feet, an exemption must be granted by the city, otherwise the license is denied. (To date, the City of Bakersfield has not granted any exemptions, nor would they be supported). This 300-foot separation restriction does not apply to licenses issued by the State Department of Alcohol and Drugs for rehabilitation homes. Listings of licensed facilities may be obtained from both agencies either through the internet at www.calcarenet.ca.gov or by phone.
