and that one is recommended for denial. Later, a formal adoption of the fee numbers will be in

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Raul Rojas, Public Works Manager
DATE: August 16, 2007

Cigarette butts are litter, too!
'N Anything discarded in a public place that is not placed in a trash can is
litter, period.
, Cigarette butts are not biodegradable. They're also smelly, toxic and
unsightly.
4 Wildlife frequently mistake cigarette butts for food. The 165 chemicals found
in cigarettes may cause animals; including pets, to choke, have digestive
problems and even die.
Cigarette butts that aren't fully extinguished can - and do -spark wildfires.
Be a part of the solution and not the problem.
✓ Make sure you fully extinguish your cigarettes and place the butts in a
proper receptacle.
✓ Use a personal ashtray made of metal or fire-resistant plastic for those times
when there are no public receptacles for cigarettes.

Dear Mr andy, Ala4,t
Thank you for your letter outlining your concerns on the funding scheme for Proposition
42. It is always helpful to hear directly from the city of Bakersfield regarding the states
budget priorities.
As you know, 2007 is a"gap" year in the financial outlays for California cities using
Proposition 42 transit bond funds. To insure the continued funding of city and county
transit projects accelerated allocation of Proposition 1 B monies was proposed in the
Governor's May Budget Revise. As of this writing the final form of the budget has yet to
be determined. Rest assured that I support the accelerated funding for Proposition 1 B
monies and that I will keep your concerns in mind in the ongoing budget negotiations.
Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact
me again on any issue of--oncern.
Best regards,
Roy Ashburn

Subject: River Run Boulevard Aesthetics Concerns
Referral # 001802—Ward 4
Councilmember Couch requested staff address concerns on River Run Blvd.
Walls on River Run Blvd. need attention, discoloration is occurring (possibly from
water). Brick work has a white color which needs removal (possibly from water).
At Ming and River Run, the "Celebrations" sign needs to be replaced. At least
one green cable box needs to be re-secured. Some plants are distressed or
dying and at least one tree needs replacing (call Councilman Couch if you need it
to be identified.
Parks and Public Works staff reviewed the wall discoloration concern, and found the
majority of the staining and stucco deterioration is occurring due to watering practices
from the residential side of the wall leaching through to the public side. The damage
appears to be aesthetic only at this time.
The brick pilasters that are stained with alkali is also mostly due to water leaching from
the residential side of the wall but in at least one location is coming from the public
irrigation system being out of adjustment. The public irrigation will be adjusted and the
brick will be power washed to remove staining.
The vacant property northeast of the missing "Celebrations" sign recently changed
ownership. Staff is researching with developers to see if they are removing/changing the
sign or if it was an act of vandalism. In either event, the sign will be replaced.
Public Works is contacting the cable company to re-secure the cable box.
Most of the plants that are distressed or dying are the day lilies that suffered from last
winters had freeze and some have been damaged from chemical eradication of nut
grass infestation. All damaged plants are in the process of being replaced. The dead
tree will be removed and replaced by the tree section this fall when the temperatures are
cooler.

Subject: Trash at Rosedale Hwy & Coffee Road
Referral # 001803 —Ward 4
Councilmember Couch requested staff pick up trash located at Rosedale Hwy &
Coffee Road, adjacent to the Old Kern Power Plant.
1) It appears trash is being dumped at this site regularly. Trash also blows in from
the nearby businesses, thereby collecting along the fence line.
2) Staff collected and cleared trash on the south side of Rosedale Highway from
Coffee Road to the westerly property line of the Kern Power Plant. Trash was
then cleaned from the west side of Coffee Road from Rosedale Highway south to
the Coffee Road overpass.
3) Staff will continue to monitor the area as part of their daily assignment.
