The attached L.A. Times article reports that the State is ordering a 10% spending cut for all state budgets. We will be following this issue closely as it may have an impact on next year's budget. 2. Attached is a memo representing the first phase of research by staff into the referral by Councilmember Hanson regarding major public facilities such as Performing Arts Centers, Convention Centers, Sports Facilities, etc. The memo describes a new Performing Arts Center project in Carmel, Indiana. More research by staff will follow. 3. There have been two incidents involving PG&E facilities that have delayed the completion date of the southbound on-ramp from White Lane to SR-99. The first incident involved a 12,000 volt underground cable that was hit by the contractor while digging. Though the contractor knew about this cable, it was not properly located by PG&E. Fortunately no one was injured; however, relocating this cable will result in a five week delay of the project. The second incident involved a power pole that was originally determined by PG&E to remain in place. PG&E has now stated that this pole is too old and must be replaced. So far there has been a two week delay as a result, but Public Works has directed the contractor to resume work on both sides of the pole. The total delay anticipated for this incident is four weeks. Public Works is working with the contractor and PG&E to minimize delays and resume work as soon as possible. 4.

By Evan Halper Los Angeles Times Staff Writer November 6, 2007 SACRAMENTO --—Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday ordered all state departments to draft plans for deep spending cuts after receiving word that California's budget is plunging further into the red -- largely because of the troubled housing market. State officials have warned the governor that the likely deficit for next year has jumped from a few billion dollars to as much as $10 billion, threatening to wipe out the progress Schwarzenegger has claimed in getting the state's accounts in order. In response, Schwarzenegger's finance department has ordered agency directors to formulate plans to cut budgets by 10% for the spending blueprint the governor will unveil in January, on condition of anonymity. That would mean substantial cuts in� state programs, including educations who spoke transportation and healthcare, the officials said. The news is a major setback for the governor's other policy initiatives. His proposals to pass legislation this year that would bring healthcare to all Californians and address the state's water problems were already faltering in the Legislature. News of a massive looming deficit will make the proposals, both of which would require billions of dollars of new spending, politically less palatable to lawmakers. The state's mounting financial problems will also make California less attractive to Wall Street, which could downgrade its credit rating. Economists say the state's declining fortunes are due in large part to the shakeout in the housing market and a volatile revenue system overly reliant on income taxes. As state officials discovered last time the economy went into decline, any downward shift leaves California's general fund reeling. Administration spokesman Adam Mendelsohn declined to answer questions about the directive issued Monday. He would say only that internal budget discussions were continuing. "Whatever we are doing now is all part of the deliberative process internally to make sure we are best prepared for whatever situation presents itself," he said. "We are continuing to look at revenues as they come in." Economists warn that the administration should prepare for more bad news. "We are among a handful of states that has a lot of exposure to the housing crash," said Ted Gibson, a former state economist. Property taxes, income taxes and sales taxes are all off as a result. Democrats were already girding for a fight over the administration's budget reduction proposals -- and hints from 'ttp://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-budget6novO6,0,262741 l,print.story?coll=la-home-center 11/6/200' osAngeles Times: Schwarzenegger orders plan for 10% budget cuts Page 2 of administration officials that they might ask schools to sacrifice some of the money they are guaranteed under voter- approved spending formulas. Sen. Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), who sits on the Senate Budget Committee, called on the governor to consider reining in not just spending, but also tax breaks for businesses. "If we are going to talk about the spending side, which we must, we should look at tax credits and that side of the ledger as well," Steinberg said. It was less than a year ago that the governor was presenting a budget plan that he boasted would leave the state with an operating deficit of"zero." But the budget that lawmakers ultimately passed in August included a shortfall of $6.1 billion for lawmakers to contend with in the coming year. Since then, the situation has worsened. Recently, administration officials acknowledged that receipts through September--just three months into the fiscal year-- were about $1.5 billion below projections. The administration's plan to bring $1 billion into state coffers through the privatization of EdFund, a government agency that backs student loans, may not take place this year-- and may not bring anything close to the funds state officials had hoped. The administration had been relying on increased property tax payments for an additional $1.3 billion in revenue. Experts warn that, at a time when home prices are dropping and homeowners are demanding reassessments of their property taxes, most of that money is unlikely to materialize. The state is also being forced to confront the consequences of not saving money when times were better. When the economy improved nationwide several years ago, most states erased chronic deficits and began building rainy day funds. California did not. It continued to spend more money than it brought in. "We never fixed the problem," said Chris Thornberg, a principal with Beacon Economics. "It's been Scotch tape and glue and staples and just praying we will never have to face the reality that state government is on a path that is not sustainable." Thornberg said the trouble in the housing sector is reverberating through the entire state economy, causing income and consumer spending to decline. He noted that unemployment is up a full percent since the beginning of the year, a jump that typically foreshadows recession. "What's happening right now is big in terms of the revenue hit," he said. "The numbers are coming in way below where they should be." The growing deficit, Thornberg said, will also probably create trouble for California on Wall Street, where bond rating agencies typically punish the state if the budget falls too far out of balance. "I think we're going to see a downgrade," he said. A lowering of the state's credit rating, already one of the lowest in the country, will make it more difficult -- and more costly -- for the state to borrow money. Mendelsohn, however, denied that the state's financial woes threaten to throw the governor's agenda off track. He said that though California may be short on cash, the state can't afford not to address the issues on the governor's agenda. "The question people have to ask themselves is what will happen to the economy without a water plan," he said. "The failure of our healthcare system is costing taxpayers money." But many in the Capitol suggest the governor will need to scale back his policy goals if the budget shortfall ittP://www.latimes-com/news/local/la-me-budget6novO6,0,262741 l,print.story?coll=la-home-center 11/6/200'. os Angeles Times: Schwarzenegger orders plan for 10% budget cuts continues to grow.

StinsoPsistant City Manager Subject: Carmel, Indiana - Performing Arts Center You requested that I research the current status of the Carmel Performing Arts Center in Carmel, Indiana. The City of Carmel, Indiana (Population 68,000) is in the process of constructing a new Performing Arts Center. Carmel is a fast growing, very affluent suburb located just north of Indianapolis that is engaged in significant improvements to their community. They are working on development of a proposed City Center project including luxury condominiums, and apartments, corporate office space and a Performing Arts Center. The proposed center includes a concert hall, theater, and amphitheater. The Concert Hall will have 1,600 seats, of which 300 are in boxes which have private rooms for entertaining. The Center is part of a larger economic development effort in the downtown area. The local volunteer Carmel Symphony Orchestra would be the primary tenant. The building would also attract performances by the Indianapolis Symphony four to six times per year and other musical performing arts groups that would be traveling through the region to other major cities in the mid- west. The estimated cost of the Center is $80 Million. Funding is to come from commercial property tax increment funds (TIF) from designated economic development areas. The City Council voted 4-3 to build the project, and through its Redevelopment Commission has issued $80 Million in bonds for the project in December of 2005. The Bonds were issued by Chase bank. The Mayor in his presentation of the project to the community indicated no residential property taxes were to be used to fund the project. According to the City Treasurer, as back up funding should the TIF not be adequate to service the debt the City has pledged its portion of the County option income tax it receives. Should these sources of revenues be inadequate to service the debt, property taxes would be used. They did not include any buffer in the bond issue for potential operating deficits which could occur during the initial or subsequent years of operating the facility, which could negatively impact the cost of operating the facility and providing for debt service by the City. S:\JOHN\ATPROJ\Carmel Performing Arts.doc The City is pursuing additional funding from private donors to potentially add $50 Million for the project to enhance building finishes (such as marble floors, limestone exterior, glass acoustical canopy, etc.) and provide for additional amenities. I was unable to find out what success they have had (if any) at raising these additional funds. The facility is planned to be constructed in phases. A ground breaking ceremony was held for the 500 seat theater on March 13th 2007; however, they have not started construction on the theater or concert hall yet and are uncertain when it will begin. Construction has begun on an adjacent parking garage being built by a private developer as part of a related commercial redevelopment project. The Performing Arts Center was scheduled to open with the completion of the Concert Hall in December 2010, however that date appears to be contingent on when they can actually start construction. In speaking with the City Treasurer, their local economy is experiencing an economic downturn due to depressed real estate values, which may affect the progress of the project. S:\JOHN\ATPROJ\Carmel Performing Arts.doc B A K E R S F I E L D Department of Recreation and Parks Date: November 8, 2007 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: Dia oover, Director of Recreation & Parks Subject: Mill Creek Update As you requested, the following is provided as an update on the current tree removal and as justification for the future building removals in the Central Park portion of the Mill Creek project. Currently, Central Park is fenced during the construction phase for safety reasons. Twenty-Nine trees have been removed that were within the construction area. Several of the trees removed had very little root structure and were hollow. Due to the amount of rot and decay found throughout these trees, along with extremely poor root structures, four additional trees outside the water feature construction area were removed for safety reasons. Three additional trees on the north side of 19th street at the canal crossing are scheduled for removal, however, because of the need to remove large branches prior to dropping the trees and having to control traffic on 19th street during the removal, these trees are yet to be taken down. A total of thirty-two trees will be removed to accommodate construction activities. All but a few were badly diseased. Two large trees along 19th Street are slated to remain. Removal of the aging restroom building on the west side of the park is necessary because the sixty-three year old structure is dilapidated with original inefficient fixtures, plumbing, and electrical systems. In addition, the restroom is not ADA compliant. Removal of the masonry brick storage building is necessary because the usefulness of the building will be greatly diminished as a result of limited access "We create a quality community through people, parks and programs" created by new construction features. Also, a minor asbestos issue exists with the roof and a proposed Sister City monument pad is less than 9 feet away from the building. Lastly, the large building would block views of the new improvements and the boxy warehouse appearance is inconsistent with the architectural style of the more modern features of the Mill Creek project. The current storage area and restroom building will be used during construction for contractor's storage and use. Removal is tentatively scheduled for early March. The proposed project includes a modern structure that will have restrooms, a small storage area, and house the electrical and water panels for lighting and irrigation throughout the park. Once completed, trees will be replaced at a rate of at least two-to-one. "We create a quality community through people, parks and programs" 3701 North Sillect Avenue Joseph R. Schoenstein Bakersfield, CA 93308 Division President Tel (661) 634-2260 Bakersfield Division Fax (661) 395-3378 bright house NETWORKS November 2, 2007 Rhonda Smiley Public Relations Coordinator City of Bakersfield 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Ms. Smiley: As you are aware, on July 2, 2007, Bright House Networks closed on the acquisition of the cable system previously owned by Suddenlink Communications. Given the importance of this acquisition, the time is right for an update on our progress toward consolidating the two cable systems. On July 2nd, Suddenlink customers awoke to slightly revised channel line-up. It was our intent to synchronize carriage levels of the various channels and mirror the line-ups as much as possible. This was done for both logistical and contractual reasons. In mid-August, several major milestones were achieved. First, we obtained full control of the billing system, which had heretofore continued to be managed by Suddenlink on a contractual basis. Secondly, we moved the high-speed data customers to our backbone,which generally resulted in faster speeds.Finally, and most significantly,we began taking the customer calls from Suddenlink customers right here in our local Bakersfield call center. Although this presented some operational challenges and overloaded our call center a bit more than we anticipated, we felt strongly that our local employees were more knowledgeable and better able to serve the customers than an out-of- town call center could. In mid-October, we consolidated the computer systems that controlled the digital converter boxes and also combined the two billing systems into one. This move allowed us more flexibility for providing a seamless transition for customers as it relates to their monthly billing statement, maintain customer history and provide easier-to-read bills. Further, they can now avail themselves of web access to their account information, as well as paying their bill on-line. During this time frame we also converted all high-speed data customers to Road Runner, which included migration of email addresses. Since the initial channel line-up change, we have added a number of new channels to the Suddenlink line-up including ESPNU, Fox Reality, Fox Business News, PBS Sprout, and KERO News Now. Their HD line-up has been bolstered with the addition of ESPN2 HD,A&E HD,History HD,and IBS HD...just in time for the baseball playoffs! We have taken steps to improve the picture quality of the Los Angeles broadcast stations as well. And, starting this week, customers in the former Suddenlink area will be able to enjoy our EXCLUSIVE local programming including live Condors, Jam, and CSUB Men's Basketball. November 2nd will be the final day that the existing customer lobby on 22nd Street will be open. The Bright House Networks lobby is only about two miles away, and we will continue our relationship with one conveniently located payment station downtown, so we feel our customers are best served by consolidating our locations. With this acquisition came organizational growth, so the 22nd Street facility will remain operational as an administrative office. Even with all of these major milestones behind us, we still have some significant challenges to face. Beginning this week, we will be systematically converting customers currently on the Suddenlink cable system over to Bright House's. As we do this, customers will begin receiving our complete channel line-up and will move to our rates and packages. This will give digital customers access to all our video-on-demand content as well as providing the opportunity to subscribe to our digital phone service. Although we believe many customers will be delighted with the new services, including over 30 channels of Free On Demand content, change can sometimes be difficult and, to many customers, their current line-up and channel positions are very familiar things. In order to address this concern of customers we have a comprehensive communication plan in place. That said, we are aware that some folks will still be surprised. Some customers may experience a short interruption in service as the changeover occurs. Our plan includes having extra resources in place to work with customers as needed during this transition. The good news is that the equipment in customer homes (converters and modems) is compatible with our systems and should not, as a rule,need to be replaced. Generally speaking, our rates are lower than what the customers were paying Suddenlink. Based on some bundling discounts received on the Suddenlink side, this may not be the case for all; however, we will work with customers individually to tailor their services to best meet their needs. Once these customers are transitioned to our line-up and rates, they will be able to avail themselves to some of our long-standing bundled discounts for services like Digital Phone and High-Speed Internet. As noted above, the transition of customers to our plant will be systematic with groups of several hundred moving at any given time. We anticipate that the process will take us well into next year, perhaps April or May. That time frame will be adjusted based on the results of the transition. Our number one priority is to manage the process so that it is as turnkey as possible to our customers. If things go smoothly, we will accelerate our plans accordingly; however, we are determined to go only as fast as we can do it right. Attached you will find a sample of our customer communications to give you a feel for our approach. This is just one of the many touch points we've initiated to ensure customers are in the know about the changes that are in store for them. We are confident that the acquisition of the Suddenlink system by Bright House Networks was in the best interests of all parties concerned. You will be pleased to know we brought on board a large majority of the local Suddenlink employees, and with the overall expansion of our business, Bright House Networks is approaching 400 employees right here in Bakersfield. We are proud to be an integral part of this community and will continue with our commitment to exceeding customer expectations. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you or any of your constituents have questions or concerns. Respectfully, 'i IClL ,- Joseph R.

Through reservations and non-reservations this field is used seven days a week. This type of heavy use wears out the field area and creates hazards such as: the turf grass worn away, soil compaction, and un-level playing surfaces. Currently, the soccer field is experiencing all of the above traits. Staff has evaluated the field to be in poor condition and recommend it be closed for public use. Our maintenance crews have already begun renovating the field. The field area has been posted with signs informing the public of its closure. Also, we are contacting those groups that have reservations for the soccer field and moving them to other sites. Some of the renovation tasks include: aeration, fertilization, top dress and drag fields, seed and/or sod troubled areas. This should take about a month to perform these tasks. The seeding and sodding should take hold and be playable around February 1, 2008. This field was totally renovated in 2005, with three years of heavy use. It is difficult to take a popular area out of use, but the best time to perform this renovation process is these winter months of November— February.

CADOCUME-1\RKIRKW-1\LOCALS-1\Temp\XPgrpwise\Week of November 12,2007.Work Schedule.doc i 1-40 L mftftft B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM November 7, 2007 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Rick Kirkwood, Management Assistant SUBJECT: Shade Canopies at Aera Energy Council Referral Councilmember Benham requested staff research the shade canopies that have been constructed in the parking lots at Aera Energy and look into ways of encouraging commercial areas to install similar structures. The parking lot at Aera Energy was constructed prior to the adoption of the City's current tree shading requirement, which is 40% of the parking lot, and large gaps existed between the trees. Planning staff (Jim Eggert and Paul Hellman) worked with the architect for Aera Energy to add shade structures to the existing parking lot. This was the first time the City has been asked to approve something this extensive for shading, but the structures have turned out much better than originally envisioned. The shade material is more like a heavy duty solar screen that blocks the sun but is not water proof. The architect claims the material has a 10 — 15 year guarantee. The durability and maintenance need of the material is yet to be determined. These particular structures were probably much more expensive than planting the equivalent number of shade trees, so staff is not sure what incentives may be provided other than relaxing the requirement of the number of trees to be planted. The City may only want to allow a certain percentage of a parking lot to be covered with such structures to retain a mix of landscaping for shade, aesthetics and air quality benefits. Currently, the City reviews this type of request on a case-by-case basis to determine how well it will work with existing landscaping standards in parking lots. The main concern is how to approve architecturally attractive structures like Aera's versus flat carports, which may not be as appealing as Aera's structures or landscaping. This Honorable Mayor and City Council November 7, 2007 Page 2 would take adoption of specific architectural standards to be applied through an ordinance and would require changes to the Bakersfield Municipal Code, Chapter 17.61 — Landscape Standards. The City should also require that if these structures are to be removed, that they must either be replaced with new structures or new shade trees will be planted throughout the parking lot consistent with Bakersfield Municipal Code §17.61.030. Another interesting option in-lieu of trees is if the structures were to contain solar panels (see attached images of what the company Google is proposing). Solar panels generate clean power, provide shade, and reduce the heat island effect. This may also assist the City/development community in meeting global warming goals. Obviously, parking lots with solar panels could not contain trees. In those instances, the City may only require trees around the perimeter of the parking lot. Without architectural control and/or perimeter landscaping, these types of structures are certainly not as attractive as tree landscaping. If asked to pursue ordinance changes to allow or encourage the structures discussed above, staff will prepare a slide presentation of the different types of covered parking design, inventory other City's requirements for comparison, and present the information. Staff recommends the issue be referred to a Council Committee if so desirable.
