CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
August 10, 2007
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Coun
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
1. We cleared a major hurdle with the TRIP program this week. We received FHWA approval for
release of the monies. Copies of the documents are enclosed. This lets us get reimbursement
for past expenses and allows all the environmental and related projects to move forward!
2. Enclosed you will find information we prepared on the TRIP program. It is for the Transportation
Task Force with the County that meets on August 20th and is for general education of interested
parties. It gives background on the money — how it can be used — how it cannot be transferred
to other projects and other governing information. Page 4 clarifies what can be built of each
road segment both with TRIP funds and additionally what is required by the Federal Highway
Administration to have "logical termini". The final column on the right shows the segments which
do not currently have guaranteed funding. Please feel free to call if this generates questions or
needs clarification. The administration of projects under CalTrans and FHWA rules gets really
complex. Unfortunately even summary and public education materials, to be accurate, have to
be a bit long and complex.
3. In an effort to have more time to meet with the HBA (formerly BIA) on interim Transportation
Development fees, we rolled most of the General Plan Amendments from August 15th t the
meeting of August 29th. The only two we left on were West Ming — who earlier took care of this
issue by building a part of the West Beltway and agreeing to dedicate right-of-way, and the city
project "The Sports Village" where we have no objection to the mitigation condition. About
seven others will be up on the 29tH
4. As we believe you know the Mill Creek project planned for Central Park will require the removal
of a number of trees. City Council has approved a grant application which would replace the
trees on a 2-to-1 basis. Some of them need to be removed because of disease or structural
problems anyway. These may be removed fairly soon. Others will be removed closer to the
winter project date.
5. We are pleased to note that Rhonda Smiley has been promoted to the position of Assistant to
the City Manager. In addition to retaining public information duties, she will permanently staff
Council committees, the Transportation Task Force, and other key office assignments in that
role. The Assistant City Manager position most recently held by Christine Butterfield will not be
filled.
6. The Department of Conservation has approved our funding request for the drop off recycling
program. We will be receiving $82,873.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
August 10, 2007

7. An information packet on the Kern River Upland Project is attached, including the project's
budget, site map, and rendering of the path and overlooks. We received a $1.4 million grant for
this project to be installed within the next three years. Visitors will be able to learn about the
river habitat, importance of the canal system to the valley, and native plant life.
8. Attached is a memo from General Services on our pressure wash test on mailboxes. You may
recall this item was put on the Safe Neighborhoods and Community Relations Committee
agenda earlier this year. The test results show our equipment would get the mail completely wet
if used on the mailboxes.
9. 1 will be on vacation the week of August 13th to the 17th. John Stinson will be in charge during
my absence and will staff the Council meeting on the 15th. As usual the office will be able to
contact me if necessary.
10. Attached is a letter and map from Kern Mosquito and Vector Control District regarding aerial
mosquito control operations over Bakersfield. The map shows the affected area will include
areas of Bakersfield south of the Kern River. Proper notification will be provided to the public.
These operations have been recently used over residential areas in Sacramento and Stockton.
Please call if you have any questions or concerns.
11. The Recreation and Parks Department developed the enclosed brochure explaining the who,
what, and how of private tree maintenance. The City Municipal Code 12.40.090 is printed on the
back of the brochure, and many commonly asked questions are answered in the text.
Brochures are available upon request.
12. Recreation and Parks' activity report for the month of July is enclosed. The report highlights
increased attendance at the City pools this summer of 44%, or 23,337 more visitors.
13. The Streets Division work schedule for the week of August 13th is enclosed.
14. Council requests are enclosed, as follows.

THE THOMAS ROADS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TRIP)
Bakersfield, California
Overview
When signed into law in August 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act, a Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) provided $253 billion for
highways, highway safety, and public transportation projects. 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.
Federal Earmarks (H.R. 3)
The TRIP earmarks are contained in two separate sections of the SAFETEA-LU legislation
(H.R. 3):
Section 1301 — Projects of National and Regional Significance (PNRS)
Section 1302 — National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement Program (NCIIP)
The four project corridors identified for Bakersfield are contained within these sections
as shown in Table 1. Funding for each corridor is restricted to the projects and the
amounts identified in the legislation —there is no opportunity to change projects or
move funding out of any of the four corridors without a vote of Congress revising the
legislation. Any funds that are not used cannot be applied elsewhere and are essentially
lost. However, unlike many other federal-aid highway programs that lapse after 4
years, the PNRS and NCIIP funding is available until expended.
Other requirements regarding these earmarks include:
• Section 1301 projects require a 20% non-federal match
• Section 1302 projects require an 11.47% non-federal match
• Projects must have Federally-approved descriptions and a Financial Plan
Page 1 of 5
• Projects must be listed in the financially-constrained Regional Transportation
Plan approved by the COG'
• Projects must be included in the Air Quality model for the 8 County Region
• Projects must be included as part of the State Air Quality Plan
• Projects must be listed in Kern COG Federal Transportation Improvement
Program (FTIP)

Implementing the SAFTEA-LU Earmarks
Federal funding is administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is
distributed through individual state transportation agencies, in this case through the
Local Assistance Office of Caltrans District 6. In June 2005, in anticipation of the
approval of H.R. 3, the City of Bakersfield and Caltrans executed a Memorandum of
Understanding that outlined the anticipated delivery process and the roles of the City
and the State in that process. In January 2006, following approval of H.R. 3, the State of
California and the City of Bakersfield entered into a Master Cooperative Agreement
(Caltrans District Agreement No. 06-1318 MC/ City of Bakersfield Agreement No. 06-
009) that defined the roles and responsibilities regarding project prosecution, delivery
and maintenance. This agreement was required before federal aid could be made
available.
' Kern Council of Governments is the Regional Transportation Planning Agency(RTPA)for Kern County and
the Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO)for metropolitan Bakersfield
Page 2 of 5
As part of the agreement, the City assumed program management responsibilities,
including project delivery, and committed to provide office space for a program
management team and key State personnel working on the earmark projects. The State
committed to provide project oversight services, including those for the National
Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) process, to designate key State personnel to be
based in the project office, and to provide prompt reviews to expedite the project
delivery process. The agreement also includes an issue resolution process.
In March 2006, the City established a separate TRIP office where program management
activities are centralized. At the same time, through a selection process that included
the City Public Works Department, Caltrans District 6 and the Kern County Roads
Department, Parsons Transportation Group was selected to provide program
management services. Parsons joined staff from the City DPW, Caltrans and the County
Roads Department to form a consolidated, collaborative TRIP team.
Project Delivery
Working within the four TRIP earmark categories, 11 projects are advancing through
the project delivery process. A brief description of these projects and their funding
status as determined in the financial plan' appears on the following page. With the
exception of the SR 178/Fairfax Ave project, which is now in construction, the projects
are in the early phases of project development. Most are in the preliminary engineering
and environmental document phase (PA/ED) of development.
In a selection process that included the City, County and Caltrans, individual planning
and engineering consultants were selected to prepare preliminary engineering and the
environmental documents for each project. These consultants are under contract with
the City of Bakersfield and Kern County and are working under the direction and
oversight of the program management team. As of August 1, 2007 there are 7
consultant contracts in place with a total value of$63 million and two additional
contracts are expected to be in place by the end of August.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for the first project to receive TRIP funding, the SR
178/Fairfax interchange, will he held on September 14, 2007. This $28.9 million
construction project will build a new grade-separated interchange and a mile of new
freeway in northeast Bakersfield.
Acceleration Strategies
There is a strong program commitment to deliver the TRIP projects as quickly as
possible. To this end, the program is utilizing several methods to accelerate the project
approval and delivery process.
• Co-located project staff—City, County, Caltrans, Consultants
• Team commitment to accelerate process—over the shoulder reviews

Westside Parkway
As previously noted, although it is not part of the SAFETEA-LU earmark, the 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. The
environmental approval process for this project is complete and most of the right-of-way
has been acquired. Consultants are under contract with the City to prepare final plans,
specifications and estimates for the extension of Mohawk Street from Rosedale Highway to
Truxtun Avenue and for the construction of the Westside Parkway from Truxtun Avenue to
Heath Road, with construction beginning in late 2008 and early 2009.
Funding for the Westside Parkway is coming from the State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) following approval of the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The
STIP is a five-year statewide capital improvement program for transportation that is
updated every two years. The funding process under the STIP program is a rigorous one
with specific project requirements. These include:
• Projects must be listed in the financially constrained RTP
• Projects must be included in the Air Quality model for the 8 County Region
• Projects must be included as part of the Air Quality Plan
• Projects must be listed in the COG approved FTIP
• The FTIP becomes incorporated into the Federal Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (FSTIP).
• The FSTIP requires approval by the FHWA
• The CTC, in public session, must approve funding for the projects
Once programmed in the STIP, funds cannot be moved without CTC approval and they
cannot be moved after the start of the fiscal year in which they become available.
Programmed STIP funds that are not used are lost for 5+/- years.
Currently $168.8 million has been programmed in the STIP and approved by the CTC for the
Westside Parkway. This includes a $45.2 million increase granted by the CTC as part of a
one-time STIP Augmentation program earlier this year. These STIP funds will be used to
construct the Mohawk Street extension from Rosedale Highway across the Kern River to
Truxtun Avenue and the Westside Parkway from Truxtun Avenue to Coffee Road in 2009.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
MEMORANDUM
TO: Raul M. Rojas, Public Works Director
FROM: Steve Hollingsworth, Geberal Service Superintendent
ATE: August 9, 2007
SUBJECT: Pressure Wash Test of Community Mailboxes
General Services Division,with the help of the local Postmaster,completed a test to
determine if it is possible to pressure wash community mailboxes to remove graffiti. Four
people from the Postal Service joined the City's Sean Cacal, Guy Bowers and Tony Martinez
to perform the test.
There are two types of mailbox structures located in local subdivisions. The older versions
are metal and the newer versions are plastic. General Services applied our standard operating
procedures(SOP)to attempt to remove graffiti from both types of mailboxes during the test.
That SOP is: first applying a"paint dissolving chemical"and then using hot water applied
under pressure from our standard truck mounted pressure wash truck.
The test determined that it is not possible to pressure wash either type of community
mailboxes without damaging;the:mail and that the chemicals damaged the plastic coating on
the newer structures.
Results.
The metal mailbox was not damaged by the chemical application but the mail in the
individual boxes was soaked by the water applied by the pressure washer to the front and
back panels.
The newer plastic mailbox was damaged by the paint dissolving chemical and the mail was
soaked by the water applied by the pressure washer to the front and back panels.
The Postmaster does not want the mailboxes painted to cover the graffiti and does not want
chemicals applied to the plastic mailboxes. Obviously,the Postmaster and the City do not
want to damage the mail.

Mr.Alan Tandy

1501 Truxtun Avenue
Bakersfield, California 93301
FAX: 324-1850
Mr. Tandy:
As you know, Governor Schwarzenegger recently visited Bakersfield where he declared that a state of
emergency exists in 3 California counties(Kem,Colusa,and San Joaquin)due to the prevalence of West
Nile virus within their respective boundaries.
The District is requesting authorization from you allowing aerial mosquito control operations over an area
of Bakersfield(see map). FAA regulations require the District to obtain this authorization before control
measures can be taken.
The aerial mosquito control operations are necessary to help prevent further West Nile virus amplification
in this area. The area in question has consistently shown West Nile virus activity in adult mosquitoes,birds
and humans.Normal control operations performed by the District have not been successful in lowering
virus activity. Historically,the months of August and September have been the peak months for human
infections,so it is important that action be taken.
The active ingredient in the insecticide that would be used is pyret}uin which is an extract from the
Chrysanthemum flower. The District has used pyrethrin products to contr ol adult mosquitoes for many
years.Pyrothrin-based insecticides have been used recently in aerial mosquito control operations over
residential areas in Sacramento and Stockton.
I have been in contact with Dr.Claudia Jonah(the County's interim Public Health Director)regarding this
matter. She supports this proposed aerial mosquito control operation.
Proper notification will be provided to the public and to public agencies that would be impacted by this
type of mosquito control operation.
Sincerely,
Rob Quiring
District Manager

AQUATICS
• July 2007 was a banner year for pool attendance with a total of 32,995.
Last July, attendance was 20,143 for all pools: an increase of 12,852.
• This 44% increase is due to revised swim lessons, more special events
and pool rentals. The positive publicity has helped as well.
• On Monday, July 16, a free swim day was offered at each pool. Over
1,500 guests came out that day. Compared to the same day last year (as
a regular swim day) which was only 430 total for an increase of 250%
for one day.

nights on alternating Fridays. The popularity of the Friday night
activities continued to grow with 185 teens on July 20th and 257 coming
to Family night on July 13th

planned for August 16 with Gabe Woodward, Olympic Swimmer and
former Bakersfield lifeguard as the guest speaker.
• Pool attendance sheets for the summer are attached.
ATHLETICS
• Summer Adult softball continues with 110 teams. Division Standings
are posted each week on the website and also emailed to the managers.
Players like this addition, and we will continue this practice with all

appears as big as a drive-in movie screen. Each park had about 300-350
in attendance.
• Camp King had 70 campers this summer. Over 125 family members
attended the talent show held toward the end of camp. The final field
trip was to Ventura Beach where some kids had never been before.
They had a great time participating in planned activities in the sand all
day.
• About 15-20 women are attending open gym this summer, which is an
exciting change for the facility.

members, including the Southeast Neighborhood Partnership. The
Festival is scheduled for October 20th at MLK Park.

July where 15 youth learned basic acting which built some self-
confidence as well. This program may be expanded as an after-school
program in the fall.
