CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
March 10, 2006
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager A ja,,L
SUBJECT: General Information
1. We were advised today that the General Services Administration will not allow
Castle and Cooke to "step aside" from the courthouse lease at Buena Vista and
Stockdale. Thus, the relief that the neighbors must have felt as a result of the
Wednesday night announcement of Castle and Cooke is, unfortunately, short
lived. A letter from the GSA is enclosed.
Since GSA did not care about Presidential orders, City Council opinion or
neighborhood protest, it is perhaps not surprising that they also do not care what
Castle and Cooke prefers to do.
Senator Boxer, to her credit, responded immediately with a letter of objection to the
GSA decision. We thank her for her continuing support.
What happens next? SDA, a downtown proposer, has filed a formal objection to
the GSA decision which will result in a hearing and a GSA-Washington D.C.
decision. It is a parallel and separate process from the administrative decision that
is outlined in the GSA letter, and theoretically takes around 30 days.
2. The staff continues to work on the evaluation of submittals made with regard to
sale of the City farm. It has turned out to be a more complex and time consuming
task than we had initially anticipated. We are continuing the effort and will report to
you as soon as we have a recommendation pinned down on who should receive
the exclusive right to negotiate!
3. Attached is a preliminary concept plan and possible naming rights proposal for the
"Sports Village" complex we are considering for the City owned property on Taft
Highway. While this proposal is still in the early stages of study and design, we are
beginning to introduce the idea to local community and business representatives to
get feedback and to gauge initial interest in financial support for the project.

4. For a number of reasons, we've been without many key staff in most departments
for some time now. Since the first of the year, and for varying periods, we've been
without the Human Resources Director, Risk Manager, Assistant Building Director,
two Associate Planners, Deputy City Attorney, Wastewater Superintendent,
Development Associate, and Recreation Supervisor due to retirement, resignation
or illness. Please understand that this shortage of key people is straining our
ability to respond to your requests, specifically Council referrals and committee
work. We can't provide the same level of support you are accustomed to until we
can fill the vacancies and the medical issues are resolved. We continue to
experience the challenge of competing with the private sector for job recruitment,
given the impact of the local growth boom and a relatively healthy economy. We
ask for your patience until we are back to adequate staffing.
5. Congratulations to Steve Womack on his selection by SMG to succeed Jim Foss
as General Manager of the arena and convention center.
6. Police Sergeant Joe Grubbs is to be congratulated for receiving the Individual
Service Award for the Center Chapter from the California State Juvenile Officers'
Association. The Association is composed of police, probation, and school
officers and officials from throughout the state.
7. A year-end financial report for Ice Sports Center is enclosed. Net profit increased
from $24,487 to $113,331. The facility continues to grow in popularity, as
evidenced by the increased revenue from classes and the hockey programs. The
new general manager is also looking at adding other programming interests to the
already busy ice schedule, including curling.
8. A memo from Flom Core is enclosed regarding a proposed increase in water fees
for City system users. The change is being requested due to the increased cost of
electricity (6%), a fee increase from our operations and maintenance contractor
(3.8%), and the cost to introduce new water supplies to the system. The later is
the largest component of the rate increase. We have contracted to the Kern
County Water Agency and, soon, with California Water Service for new treated
surface water that will replace poor quality groundwater in the system. It will be
less costly to replace the groundwater than attempt to treat it, and the new surface
water will provide more flexibility, reliability and much needed reserves for peak
demands. The new water will represent 20% of our total water supply. Currently,
100% of our deliveries to customers are from groundwater wells. The rate
increases are being delayed to Fall 2006 and Spring 2007. The fall increase will
help to absorb the operations contractor fee increase, and the higher electrical
costs. The spring increase is timed to the beginning of payments for the new
treated surface water.

The Honorable Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
Washington, DC 20510-0505
Dear Senator Boxer:
Thank you for your letter of March 3,2006 to Acting Administrator David L.Bibb on
behalf of Mr. Alan Tandy, City Manager of Bakersfield, California concerning the award
of a lease for a courthouse in Bakersfield. Acting Administrator Bibb has asked me to
respond to your inquiry.
Last month the General Services Administration(GSA) signed a lease for 31,234 rentable
square feet of space in a build-to-suit facility to be designed, constructed and operated by
the lessor, at a site at the southeast comer of Buena Vista Road and Stockdale Highway
in Bakersfield, for a term of 10 years. The leased space is to be occupied by the US
Magistrate, US Probation,US Pretrial Services and US Marshals Service. The lease was
procured under a competitive Solicitation.for Offers (SFO)process. GSA solicited offers
for leased space, and evaluated the offers based on the criteria set out in the SFO.
GSA followed Executive Order 12072,which provides that first consideration shall be
given to Central Business Areas of cities (CBAs)when the United States is acquiring
space. We are also legally required to consider whether restricting the delineated area to
the CBA will provide for adequate competition when acquiring leased space. We
consulted extensively with Mr. Tandy about the proposed delineated area which included
the CBA and areas outside the CBA. We also told Mr. Tandy that sites located inside
and outside the CBA would be treated equally. Mr. Tandy did not object. Some key
events in this consultation process are listed in the attachment to this letter.
On June 24, 2004, GSA issued Solicitations for Offers(Sl~Os)to prospective lease
offerors with a delineated area which included the CBA and other areas in the City of
Bakersfield. The SFO specified the factors under which offers would be evaluated.
These included technical factors such as quality of site, quality of the design team and
quality of facility design. The SFO provided that technical factors would be considered
significantly more important than price in evaluating offers for lease award. Per the SFO,
the award would be made to the proposal that offered the greatest value to the
Government in terms of price and technical factors. This type of evaluation, the"greatest
value"process, is designed to select the proposal that offers the most for the money. It
contrasts with a more common method of contracting, i.e., selecting an offer that meets
RECEIVED- 3/10/06 11 :54AM- ->CITY OF BAKERSFIELD; #384; PAGE 2
03/09/2006 22:36 4155223111 ARA PAGE 02/06
only the minimum requirements and is the lowest-price offer,which is a process which
may result in award to a lower quality offer. Such a process is not appropriate for the
construction of a ,federal courthouse.
GSA evaluated all offers pursuant to the technical factors stated in the SFO. We selected
the proposal that offered the greatest value to the Government. That is, the offer
submitted by Castle and Cooke received the highest score of all offers based upon the
evaluation of technical factors. Also, and contrary to certain published reports, Castle
and Cooke's proposal was not the highest priced offer. Therefore,based upon the
combination of superior technical merit and a reasonable rental rate,we awarded the
lease to Castle and Cooke. The lease was fully executed on February 16, 2006.
Mr. Tandy's letter mentions possible concerns with the site plans. All GSA Lessors are
required to obtain all necessary approvals from local governing bodies,and this process
typically takes place after lease award.
GSA had a discussion today with Castle and Cooke and they have reassured us that they
are committed to their contract, that they will honor their obligations, and that they are
ready, willing and able to proceed with the project. Please understand, a new
procurement could result in increased costs and could delay the courthouse project by
years without a guarantee that the new site would be located in the downtown area.
GSA has fully complied with all applicable laws,regulations and executive orders in the
conduct of this lease procurement. While I can appreciate the City's disappointment that
the outcome was not a downtown location, I hope the City can appreciate GSA efforts to
be inclusive and consider downtown locations, while also balancing those considerations
with the need for a lease building which fully meets the Courts' requirements and
produces a courthouse facility which Bakersfield and the Courts urgently require.
If we can provide you with any further information,please feel free to contact me or the
Assistant Regional Administrator for Public Buildings, Jeffrey Neely at (415) 522-3100.
Sincerely,
jam,F-uER:G.

EO 12072 Consultation Process
• GSA wrote to the Mayor of Bakersfield on May 23, 2003 proposing a geographic
search.area("delineated area")that included the downtown central business area
(CBA) and other areas outside the downtown CBA. We suggested additional
areas beyond the downtown,because our knowledge of the market indicated a
lack of available properties likely to meet the Court's requirements in the
downtown area. For example, security requirements called for sites large enough
to accommodate 50-foot setbacks for a court facility.
• The City Manager responded by letter of June 6, 2003 that the City supported a
downtown location.
• Later in June 2003, GSA conducted a tour of prospective properties in
Bakersfield. The tour indicated the Central Business Area would not produce
enough offers to generate competition. GSA met with the City Manager in
Bakersfield. We explained that we are legally required to obtain adequate
competition, and that we proposed to solicit offers not only in the CBA but in the
larger area outlined in our earlier May 23, 2003 letter to the Mayor. The City
Manager did not object.
■ GSA again toured prospective properties in Bakersfield on January 9, 2004. The
finding was the same as before, indicating the unlikelihood of adequate
competition in the CBA. GSA investigated the following alternatives to increase
likelihood of competition: pre-select a single site, and have multiple lease offerors
compete on design/construction on the pre-selected site;or solicit lease offers for
multiple sites after re-advertisement. On January 9, 2004 GSA met with City
Councilwoman Susan Benham at her request. The Councilwoman voiced support
for a downtown Location.
■ On February 4,2004, GSA met with the City Manager to explore whether the
City could help assemble a single site downtown site. The City Manager
indicated the City was eager to help.
GSA asked the City whether it had an available downtown site to offer GSA, but
the City did not.
GS.A,and the City discussed the practicalities of the City helping to assemble a
site. Based on site availability, this discussion focused on a process that would
likely require the city redevelopment agency to initiate condemnation proceedings
to acquire parcels.
• GSA studied this single-site alternative and determined that although the City was
willing to help, the condemnation,process involved substantial risks and
complications (including assemblage and condemnation delays,demolition of
multiple buildings and relocation of businesses and residents), and that therefore

03/39/2006 22:36 4155223111 ARA PAGE 05/06
the process of identifying a single site was not the most prudent course. GSA,
decided to re-advertise for multiple offers in a revised delineated area, with the
intent of attracting offers for enough sites to generate adequate competition. On
April 7, 2004 GSA wrote to the City Manager advising that GSA intended to
solicit offers in a revised delineated area which we outlined in our letter. The City
Manager replied indicating support of a downtown location.
• On April 29, 2004, GSA conducted a tour of prospective properties ,111 the revised
delineated area. The tour revealed the same kind of limited site availability in the
CBA as on.earlier tours. On April 30, 2004, GSA met again.with the City
Manager. GSA proposed considering sites in the entire revised delineated area,
rather than restricting consideration to downtown sites, and evaluating all offers
equally under evaluation,,factors in the Solicitation, for Offers. The City Manager
did not object to our proposal.
• On May 4, 2004,the Contracting Officer, Scott Brunson, concluded the
consultation via an e-mail sent to the City Manager,Mr. Tandy. In his e-mail,
Mr. Brunson,confirmed the parties' mutual understanding that the delineated area
would not be solely limited to the CBA. At the City's request, GSA agreed that it
would not establish a minimum acreage requirement for the sites but instead allow
developers to demonstrate design solutions to meet the government's
requirements. Mr. Tandy agreed. A copy of these a-mails is attached.

Dear Alan,
Thanks to you and all the folks you brought In to meet with me on Friday to discuss the location of the
proposed lease for US Magistrate and related federal agencies in Bakersfield.
To confirm our understanding, GSA will consider sites in the entire area outlined In the attachment to my
April 7, 2004 email to you,rather than restricting consideration to downtown sites. At your request,GSA
will not set a minimum acreage requirement as we had suggested, but will allow developers proposing
smaller sites the chance to demonstrate In their proposals that they have a design solution which fits on
the site and meets our requirements.
In our meeting, I explained that quality factors such as proposed facility design will be more Important than
price in selecting the successful offeror,and that this tends to give an advantage to larger sites over
smaller sites,because of greater flexibility in site and building design. You indicated the City could assist
developers of downtown redevelopment sites to try to Identity additional land to make their proposals
more attractive—I mentioned that land for public parking could be provided across the street from the
building site.
I appreciate all the assistance your office has provided. If you have any questions or concerns, please
continue to feel free to call me.

Dear Administrator Stamison:
I am writing you in answer to your letter of March 9,where you state that GSA will
proceed with the development of a new federal courthouse outside of downtown Bakersfield.
I want to be very clear that I believe that this position is not only contrary to the wishes of
the City of Bakersfield, but also contrary to national policy.
In addition, since our correspondence began, the developer you have selected has
indicated that they would back away from their outside-of-downtown project due to community
opposition.
Instead of embracing this turn of events, you have dug your heels in and that is just the
opposite of what you should do as a government agency.
I ask you to immediately convene a community meeting in Bakersfield so that you may
hear directly from the people who will be impacted by your decision.
Please contact me as soon as possible through my State Director, Tom Bohigian, at
(559) 497-5109, so that I may assist in the logistics of this important meeting.
Please remember that this is a government of,by and for the people, and the people
deserve to be heard. I thank you for your attention to this important matter.

RE: Bakersfield Ice Sports Center
2005 Rink Report
Dear Mr. Tandy,
2005 was another successful year for the Bakersfield Ice Sports Center &the City
of Bakersfield. Attached is a report for January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. I
hope you will be as excited as I was upon viewing the information.
As the new General Manager at the facility, I can honestly say that I am extremely
pleased with my experiences at the rink thus far. During my first two months, I have been
greeted with open arms and praises from the overwhelming majority of our guests. I will
do the best I possibly can to keep this facility going in a positive direction. Continuing to
provide top notch service to the residents of Bakersfield and Kern County when it comes
to participating in ice sports is going to be my main goal in 2006.
In terms of programming, I plan on expanding the options available to our patrons
as well improving upon the programs that are currently being offered. I feel as if the
Bakersfield Ice Sports Center has only begun to create its niche in the community, and
over the next few years will only continue to develop and expand.
If you have any questions or comments,please do not hesitate to get in touch with
me.
Sincerely,
Adam Miller

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tand City Manager
FROM: Florn Core, Water Resources Manager
DATE: March 3, 2006
SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 218 DOMESTIC WATER FEE HEARING NOTICE
Customers and/or property owners receiving domestic water service from the City of
Bakersfield Water system will be mailed a notice of a public hearing to be held on June 7,
2006 to consider a proposed increase in the readiness-to-serve and quantity unit charges.
The readiness-to-serve charge for a typical single family residential connection is to be
increased by $0.65 per month to a total of $9.55 per month on October 1, 2006. The
readiness-to-serve charge for larger services will be assessed by a service-size ratio
relative to a typical residential customer. The quantity rate is currently $0.66 per hundred
cubic feet unit. The proposed rate will increase by $0.03 to $0.69 per unit on October 1,
2006 and by $0.05 to a total of $0.74 on April 1, 2007. The service fee and quantity rate
change will increase the typical single family residential monthly water bill by 5.4% on
October 1, 2006 and by 4.8% on April 1, 2007. The notices will be mailed as inserts in each
customers' monthly bill, meeting the requirements of the law, beginning March 20, 2006
and completed by April 20, 2006.
As of January 30, 2006 there were 34,637 metered service connections on the system. In
addition there were 377 non-metered "fire service" connections. This totals 35,014 notices
that will be sent on the hearing. Of course, the system is adding new connections every
day, with between 200-250 new customers per month, therefore the actual number of sent
notices will be higher. Only the customers and/or property owners of record, as identified by
the billing registers for customers of the City of Bakersfield Water System, will receive a
notice, since they are the only ones the City is required to provide a notice. In addition, the
hearing will be posted in the local general circulation newspaper, which is also required by
law.
The City of Bakersfield Water Board will be apprised of this proposed rate increase at the
March 15, 2006 meeting.Attached is a copy of the notice that will be inserted in customers'
bill beginning the latter part of March 2006.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BEFORE THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a protest hearing accepting testimony will be held before the
Council of the City of Bakersfield on Wednesday, June 7, 2006, 5:15 p.m., or as soon thereafter as
the matter may be heard, in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 1501 Truxtun Ave., Bakersfield, CA
93301. The purpose of the hearing is to receive and consider input regarding an increase in
the monthly readiness-to-serve charge and the quantity rate for domestic water service from
the City of Bakersfield.
Pursuant to Chapters 14.04, 14.06 and 14.08 of Title 14 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the City of
Bakersfield Domestic Water System provides residents and customers a pure, clean and wholesome
water supply in quantities and under sufficient pressure for all ordinary and proper uses. Charges for
water service are paid directly by property owners and/or occupants through bills rendered monthly.
In compliance with Proposition 218, property owners and/or customers of the City of Bakersfield
Domestic Water System are hereby informed of a proposed increase in the monthly readiness-to-
serve charge and quantity rate on the monthly bill. Your water service is included in this action, and is
identified in the accompanying bill enclosed in this mailing.
The current readiness-to-serve charge for a typical residential customer is $8.90 per month. The
monthly service charge is proposed to be $9.55 beginning October 1, 2006, which reflects an
increase of$0.65 per month. The readiness-to-serve charge for larger services will be assessed by a
service-size ratio relative to a typical residential customer. The quantity rate is currently $0.66 per
hundred cubic feet unit. The proposed rate will increase by $0.03 to $0.69 per unit on October 1,
2006. The quantity charge is proposed to be increased by $0.05 to $0.74 per unit on April 1, 2007. No
additional adjustment to the readiness-to-serve charge is proposed. A typical residential customer will
see a total increase of $1.49 per month on October 1, 2006 and $1.40 on April 1, 2007. Due to new
water supply programs, the cost of meeting water quality standards and the general inflation rate,
expenditures have increased 6.5%. This increase is proposed to be effective October 1, 2006 and
April 1, 2007.
If you need additional information on the water services provided by the City or on the proposed
service fee and quantity charge increase, please contact the Water Resources Department at
(661)326-3715.
WRITTEN PROTESTS may be filed with the City Clerk at any time prior to the conclusion of the
hearing. If you challenge the action taken on this proposal in court, you may be limited to addressing
only those issues raised at the public hearing, or in written correspondence delivered to the City Clerk
of the City of Bakersfield prior to the close of the hearing. If protests against the fee increase are
made by a majority of customers and/or property owners on the City of Bakersfield system, the City
shall not charge the additional readiness-to-serve fee or quantity rate.

DATE: March 8, 2006
SUBJECT: GRAFFITI ENFORCEMENT, FINES AND 24 HR REMOVAL
Referral No. 1416 (City Council Meeting: 2/22/06)
***TRIPLE REFERRAL TO CITY ATTORNEY, PUBLIC WORKS AND POLICE DEPARTMENT***
COUNCILMEMBER SCRIVNER REQUESTED STAFF INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF
PROVIDING 24 HOUR GRAFFITI REMOVAL AND REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL ON ALL AREAS
INCLUDING THE COSTS, MANPOWER NEEDED, ETC.; COUNCILMEMBER BENHAM REQUESTED
STAFF ADDRESS ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF EXISTING
AND NEW POSITIONS TO GET THE JOB DONE; AND VICE-MAYOR MAGGARD REQUESTED
STAFF REPORT BACK REGARDING ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR GRAFFITI AND THE
FEASIBILITY OF PATROLLING BY SECTOR. VICE-MAYOR MAGGARD ALSO REQUESTED STAFF
ADDRESS A COMPLAINT FROM TOM RODRIQUEZ REGARDING GRAFFITI PROBLEMS.
The call volume for the graffiti hotline has doubled in January and February 2006 from
previous months. This has created a backlog of work in the office and the field. We are
currently interviewing candidates to hire one temporary clerk typist to assist with the
office work. However, we are concerned that the current call volume and subsequent
work load may be an anomaly, and making a decision to add additional equipment and
field employees at this time may be premature. Therefore, we recommend working
overtime with current field staff, extending hours during the week and working
Saturdays and Sundays. We have begun the process to work overtime on a voluntary
basis. Working overtime will allow us time to see if the work load will continue at the
current volume and also see how the additional work hours impact our service level.
Should this not completely eliminate the backlog we recommend hiring two to four
temporary field employees to remove graffiti on the weekends.
Should this effort not meet service level needs we would propose adding four
employees to operate two paint trucks and two pressure wash trucks on a 10 hour day
split schedule. Employees would be divided between a Monday through Thursday shift
(8 employees), and a Thursday through Sunday shift (5 employees). Thursday would
be an overlapping day where the additional employees would be utilized to team
together to remove graffiti at difficult locations, assist with preparation and distribution of
materials to volunteers, or assist with building maintenance. This would require
G:\GROUPDAT\Referrals\2006\02-22\Ref#1416(Steve H.).doc
3/8/2006 10:25:29 AM - Page I of 3 pages -
purchase of a spare paint truck and pressure wash truck, one time cost of$175,000, as
the use of the existing vehicles will increase by 75%. The ongoing annual costs would
be $400,000, which includes personnel, equipment rental and maintenance, paint
materials and computer rental. This plan would require meet and confer with the
Employees Union as it would be a change in current employees work schedule.
Subsequent phases would be determined and implemented as needed.
Staff has evaluated the current workload for graffiti removal and what would be required
for 24 hour graffiti removal. During this process we found some areas where
improvement will be made. We found with the updated phone system our hotline call
volume has doubled in the past two months. On a typical day we can receive as many
as 80 calls. The previous system allowed only 20-25 calls stored and the new system
allows an unlimited amount. This has delayed processing work orders and getting them
to the field employees. Two additional office employees are needed to assist with the
initiation and closing of work orders for all graffiti removal.
CALL VOLUME
06 February 904
06 January 1,076
05 December 441
05 November 333
05 October 354
2005 5,637 (monthly average 470)
2004 5,487 (monthly average 457)
A key component to providing 24 hour service will be improved technology to allow field
employees to receive work orders immediately through a laptop or handheld device.
To provide 24 hour service under the current work load we estimate the need for nine
graffiti removal teams and four employees working in the parks. Each graffiti removal
team would consist of a paint truck and pressure wash truck. Two of these teams would
respond to Council referrals and remove graffiti from main thoroughfares, with the other
seven working throughout the City. An additional four wheel drive truck is needed for
special work along the bike path, river and in sump areas. The costs for these
additional equipment and employees are:
Item Capital Annual
Paint Trucks 5 each @ $125,000 $ 625,000 $ 100,000
Pressure Wash Trucks 8 each @ $ 50,000 $ 400,000 $ 120,000
4WD Truck 1 each @ $ 60,000 $ 60,000 $ 15,000

The current organization of handling graffiti removal within the General Services
Division is working well. Currently, there is a Supervisor II in charge of Plant
Maintenance (construction, maintenance and graffiti). We have temporarily placed a
Maintenance Craftworker I into a "lead" position (Maintenance Craftworker II) to oversee
the graffiti removal efforts and work with all volunteers. We recommend this change be
permanent by converting the existing General Services Coordinator position to a
Maintenance Craftworker H. The Police Department has two officers assigned to graffiti
enforcement that have office space within the graffiti offices of the General Services
Building. A positive working relationship already exists between the Police Department
and the staff of General Services. The traffic sign crews, also within the General
Services Division, work closely with the graffiti removal staff to remove graffiti from
signs. Being within the same division allows for positive communication and
cooperation, and simplifies coordination efforts.
In addition, staff contacted citizen Tom Rodriguez at the request of Vice-Mayor Maggard
to address his concern regarding graffiti problems. The graffiti problem was taken care
of and Mr. Rodriguez was satisfied with staffs response.

V. EVALUATION CRITERIA
The applicant's responses to the following will be used to evaluate the proposed project.
1. Provide a detailed description of the project scope and the locations targeted for improvement.
Expand upon the descriptions provided on the 1"page of the application. Reference your exhibits or
attachments in this section.
This project will install a flashing yellow beacon, one for both
traffic directions, on Meacham Road located on the east leg of
the intersection of Meacham Road and Campfire Dr. See Exhibit A
for map showing the general elementary school location. See
Exhibit B for a specific site plan for the proposed improvements
to this school crossing. This project will also include all
appropriate signage to warn vehicle drivers that they are
entering a school zone and to modify their speed accordingly.
Lastly, see Exhibit E for Caltrans volume and speed studies for
this existing crossing performed within the guidelines of Section
10-05.2 of the Caltrans Traffic Manual.
2. Describe the reasons you are applying for SR2S funds. Describe the risks facing students who
walk or bike to school. Cite any other concerns using accident data, demographics, community and
school surveys or audits, traffic volumes, and other environmental factors, as appropriate. Include a
description of the affected student population (i.e. socio-economic status, ethnicity, transportation
options, urban/rural/suburban) and a brief history of the neighborhood traffic issues that might provide
some context and background for the project.
The City of Bakersfield is dedicated to reducing the
pedestrian/vehicle conflict potential, and encouraging its
citizens to ride bicycles and walk whenever possible. An
instrumental part of this plan is encouraging students to walk or
ride bicycles to school. The City of Bakersfield recognizes
that, according to the statistics provided by the Federal Highway
Administration, pedestrian and bicyclists, fatalities represent
approximately 15% of all roadway related fatalities each year.
These statistics have prompted the City of Bakersfield to
undertake safety studies of local schools and neighborhoods. The
greater Bakersfield Metropolitan area is the home to more than
400, 000 people which represents about 60% of the total Kern
EXHIBIT 24-A Local Assistance Interim Program Guidelines
Application Form
County population. This total is expected to increase and
surpass 500, 000 people by the year 2012 .
Rosedale Union School District was founded in 1890 and today has
grown to include six elementary schools and two middle schools.
Rosedale North Elementary School is one of the six elementary
schools. Rosedale North Elementary was built in 1976 and the
second school constucted within the Rosedale Union School
District. Rosedale North Elementary has 490 students ranging
from kindergarden to the sixth grade. The majority of students
that attend Rosedale North Elementary either walk to school or
are dropped off and picked up by an adult. Currently, there has
been many new developments adjacent to this school site which has
created several traffic related problems. Before, this
elementary school was in a more rural area with just a few
adjacent houses in the nearby vacinity. However, that has
drastically changed over the past few years. Now, there are no
less than three new housing developments in various stages of
construction adjacent to Rosedale North Elementary School. The
current transportation situation has resulted in traffic jams
along Meacham Road as children are dropped off for school and
adults are trying to get to work at the same time. As a result
of this influx of people and vehicles, parents do not feel safe
allowing their children to walk or bike to school. Additionally,
vehicle traffic is not always reducing their speed to the
required 25 mph when children are present.
It is because of this increase in vehicle traffic that this
street would benefit from additional pedestrian safety devices.
The intermingling of pedestrians and vehicles creates a dangerous
environment with a high potential for accidents. Therefore, the
City of Bakersfield is proposing the addition of the a flashing
beacon to be installed on Meacham Road. The new flashing beacon
would provide an additional measure of safety for students and in
turn allow parents to feel safer allowing young children to walk
or bike to school .
3. Describe how your proposed solution was developed, e.g., were alternatives explored or other
remedies (such as educational or enforcement measures) tested? Describe the process and the entities
that were involved in selecting the proposed solution. Describe why the proposed solution is the best
alternative to correct the problem. Describe how the project will reduce child pedestrian and bike-
related injuries and fatalities.
For the last several years, the City of Bakersfield and the Kern
County Roads Department formed a local Safe Route to School
committee to address these problem areas near neighborhood
schools. The committee also includes representatives from the
Kern County Sheriff 's Department, the Kern County Superintendent
of Schools, Bakersfield Police Department, and the Bakersfield
City School District. This committee reviews projects throughout
the County and City to determine the best and most cost effective
method of reducing potential for student pedestrian traffic
accidents. In addition, the City of Bakersfield meets
Periodically with local school officals to review their traffic
needs.
EXHIBIT 24-A Local Assistance Interim Program Guidelines
Application Form
Recent surveys by the California Department of Health Services
cited the fear of traffic as one of the top worries among parents
in allowing their children to walk or ride bicycles to school .
At this time in Meacham Road near Rosedale North Elmentary,
parents, students, and other pedestrians cross the roadway
through vehicle traffic that is traveling in speeds in excess of
45 mph. Currently, parents do not feel safe allowing their
children to walk or bike to school . Due to this uncertainty,
parents cause an additional safety hazard by driving to drop off
and pick up their child. Routinely, during traffic school hours,
parents are causing severe traffic jams along Meacham Road by
double parking and parking in "No Parking" zones. Installing
flashing beacons will provide a warning to drivers that they are
entering a 25 mph school zone and that children are present.
Further more, this project will make the existing crosswalk
handicap accessible by adding handicap ramps on either side of
the street.
Currently, this school offers crossing safety lessons to its
students. However, more needs to be done to insure the safety of
the student walking or biking to Rosedale North elementary. If
the beacons were to be installed, the school would incorporate
the additional traffic safety lessions based on the traffic
beacons to address and encourage students to safely walk to
school. Also, if more can be done to protect students and create
a safer environment, then parents will gain more confidence in
allowing their children to walk or bike to school. A positive
side effect of this renewed confidence will be less traffic
problems associated with parents driving students to and from
school .
4. Describe any ongoing and/or planned Safe Routes to School program efforts specifically targeted
towards education, encouragement, and enforcement activities. Provide information about the roles
assumed by the teachers, parents, students, health officials, law enforcement officers, and other local
agencies or community groups. If known, elaborate on the elements that have been successful.
The City of Bakersfield leaves it up to the individual school
districts to teach their students about traffic safety. Several
local school districts, including this school 's district, offer
educational classes for students to inform then how to safely
walk or bike to and from school. The Bakersfield Police
Department also has outreach programs to local schools to promote
bicycle safety. If approved, the proposed flashing beacons will
be incorporated into the individual school's safety lessions to
help encourage more students to walk or ride to school, thereby
alleviating some of the traffic congestion present at this school
during the busiest portions of the day.
Several flashing beacons have been installed around local City of
Bakersfield schools in the past few years. Some recent examples
Of using this technique to slow traffic have been Norris
Elementary School, Cenntenial High School, Endeavor Elementary
School, and Greenfield Jr. High. The feedback from these schools
has been very positive from school administrators, parents, and
EXHIBIT 24-A Local Assistance Interim Program Guidelines

drivers. In these cases, school officals believe that their
students are safer, vehicles travel at lower speeds thru the
school zone, and more students are choosing to walk or bike to
school .
5. Describe how the proposed project would encourage more students to walk or bicycle to and
from school more frequently. Provide an estimate for the increased number of children that would walk
and bicycle on a daily basis due to the project. Describe if the project alone will enable increased
walking and bicycling, or if other Safe Routes to School program efforts will be required.
In order to encourage more children to walk or bike to school,
their parents must first be convinced that the routes their
children travel are as safe as possible. By installing flashing
beacons, parents are less likely to feel the need to drive their
children to school thus reducing traffic volumes around Rosedale
North Elementary. Studies show that when parents are free from
driving their children to school, children spend more time
walking, riding bicycles, and exercising for recreation and
health.
Also, Rosedale North Elementary has offered to include the new
flashing beacon in their existing student traffic safety courses
and encourage their student body to utilize the new traffic
safety equipment for walking and biking to school.
6. If the proposed project has funding sources from other agencies or grant providers, identify the
funding sources, their amounts, and how the funds will complement the SR2S funds, either in additional
infrastructure improvements or in the development of education, enforcement and encouragement
activities. Describe the coordination of other projects, if applicable. Is the project the first of other
future, planned projects`? Is it the continuation of a previous project?
In addition to the requested 90% project funds from the Safe
Route to School program, the additional 10% of the projects funds
will come from local revenue sources such as Gas Tax and Capital
Improvement Project monies.
7. Describe any environmental issues or concerns that may impact the delivery of the project.
There are no existing environmental concerns with this project.
All of the project 's proposed improvements will take place with
existing street right-of-way. There will be no additional right-
of-way necessary to install the falshing beacons or handicap
ramps.
8. The following attachments are required:
A. A general map showing the location of all proposed improvements and their proximity to
the school and school routes.
B. A site plan for each improvement location showing existing and proposed conditions.
C. Detailed Engineer's Estimate(Use form provided on SR2S web site)
D. Letters of support from project partners and advocacy groups.

TO: Ryan Starbuck, C.E. III - Traffic Ope i s
FROM: Manuel D. Fuderanan, Engineer I
SUBJECT: Flashing Beacon Study(Rosedale North Elementary)
(Crosswalk on Meacham Rd. Co) Campfire Dr.)
A traffic study for a flashing beacon has been completed recently at the subject location
The study was done in accordance with the Caltrans Traffic Manual and the findings are
as follows:
1. The uncontrolled school crossing is on the "Suggested Route to School"
program.
2. Thirty one (3 1) school pedestrians used the crossing in the morning peak hour
and thirty (30) in the afternoon peak hour --- both less than the minimum
requirement of forty(40) for each of any two peak hours.
3. The crossing is about 800 feet from the nearest alternate controlled crossing
(the all-way stop controlled intersection at Meacham Road and Jewetta
Avenue) --- more than the minimum requirement of 600 feet.
4. The peak hour vehicular volumes through the crossing during the morning and
afternoon periods were 252 and 203 respectively --- more than the minimum
requirement of 200 vehicles per hour for urban crossings.
5. The 85`h percentile speed was 45.60 miles per hour— more than the minimum
requirement of 35 miles per hour.
The Caltrans Traffic Manual provides that all of the aforementioned five conditions must
be satisfied for a flashing beacon to be warranted. The school pedestrian requirements
were not met.
A flashing beacon at this location is not warranted at this point in time.
