MEMORANDUM
April 7, 2006
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager /9T(.,1 t4Z
SUBJECT: General Information
1. It is possible that the late spring rains will mean that the grass will not be in ideal
shape for the opening of the Park at River Walk during the week of April 24th
through the 28th. It takes several weeks of sunny weather to germinate the
Bermuda grass - we have not been getting it! However, even if the grass isn't
perfect on opening day, the park will be beautiful!
2. As you're likely aware from the media reports of the public meeting held on
Thursday evening, many citizens who reside in the southwest neighborhoods close
to the proposed courthouse site at Buena Vista and Stockdale are extremely
concerned about the potential change in the environment of the area, particularly
with regard to safety issues.
While we have received no official information about the result of the GSA protest
hearing, we are assuming the date for the hearing official to render a decision has
been extended, in light of the Inspector General's request for a review of the bid
process.
Two articles regarding dangerous courthouse incidents that took place last year
are enclosed.
3. Two status reports for the month of March are enclosed from the Police
Department:
• The Special Enforcement Gang Violence Report;
• The Graffiti Unit statistics;
4. John Stinson recently accompanied a group from the Bakersfield Symphony on a
tour of the Mondavi Center, a new performing arts center constructed on the
campus of UC Davis. The Symphony is beginning to research other facilities and
the associated costs to determine the feasibility of constructing a concert hall in
Bakersfield.
5. The March activity report from Recreation and Parks is enclosed.

Officials evaluate security in courts
BY MICHAEL FRAZIER
Posted on Saturday, March 12, 2005

The delicate balance between providing security and protecting public access to
courtrooms was re-examined Friday by law enforcement and court officials across
Arkansas after a judge was shot and killed in his Atlanta courtroom. "People need to
have access to the courts and the clerk's office —you don't want to infringe on the free
flow of traffic," Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley said. "But at the same
time, you have to balance that. Oftentimes, we deal with very dangerous people."
Some law and judicial officials across the state were prompted to review courtroom
security after Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes was shot and killed in his
courtroom in the Fulton County, Ga., courthouse, authorities said. A court reporter and
a deputy also were killed.
The recent shootings are among other unrelated attacks inside and outside courtrooms
across the country this year. In Tyler, Texas, a man being sued for child support shot
and killed his ex-wife on the Smith County Courthouse steps in late February. David
Hernandez Arroyo Sr., 43, was later killed in a shootout with police.
Less than a week later in Chicago, U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow discovered the
bodies of her husband and mother slain at the judge's home. A man who shot himself to
death during a routine traffic stop in Wisconsin left a note behind claiming
responsibility in the killings.
Emotionally charged trials make courtrooms ripe for violence and judges and
prosecutors targets of retribution, court officials said.
Pulaski County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Barbara Mariani knows firsthand what
happens when security fails. In July 2004, Mariani was attacked in the courtroom
seconds after a man was convicted in a double murder case she tried. Mariani suffered
three broken bones near her left eye. "Prior to the attack, I probably wasn't as cognizant
of security issues," Mariani said. "Now I do pay attention."
Since the attack in Circuit Judge John Langston's court, personnel, prosecutors and
defense attorneys have been more cautious, especially in cases with defendants facing
s
life in prison. "They have nothing to lose," Mariani said. I think the moment the verdict
is read, they should be handcuffed."
Ron Copeland, director of the county's Department of Administrative Services, said,
"We review security on a regular basis. We don't have a specific plan to upgrade security

[but] may consider that in the future."
Mark Spellman, supervising deputy marshal at Fort Smith, said the U.S. Marshals
Service has taken no new precautions in federal courthouses in the Western District of
Arkansas. "Our security is already tight," Spellman said. "Everybody has been made
aware of the situation, and we're maintaining business as usual."
At the federal courts building in Little Rock, U.S. Marshal Ray Carnahan said Friday
that the recent events outside the state haven't prompted any security changes locally.
We are continuing on like we always do," said Carnahan, the chief marshal for the
Eastern District of Arkansas. "We always try to be at a high level of readiness."
Carnahan said that in the U.S. Marshals Service, both nationally and in the local offices,
you always evaluate your procedures — constantly." "Whether it's bankruptcy court or
here," he said, standing in the main courthouse, "we're constantly in contact with our
members of the court family— probation officers, court clerks, the U.S. attorney's office
or whoever it may be. It's not just the judges we're concerned about."
Chief U.S. District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren, who holds court in Fayetteville for the
Western District of Arkansas, said he isn't especially worried about his safety on the job,
but, "we need more security throughout"the federal system. "We don't have enough
marshals to take care of everything."
Carnahan agreed that it would be helpful to have more deputy marshals, but he said,
"We could not afford to have a deputy with every judge. The system just could not afford
that monetarily."
Jim McCormack, U.S. district clerk for the Eastern District of Arkansas, noted that
security "has been enhanced in federal court since 9/11."
Benton County Senior Circuit Judge Tom Keith said the shooting in Atlanta illustrates a
need for tighter security. "It's an unfortunate fact of life for all judges that people out
there might seek retribution against us or our staff," Keith said. "These events should
send a message across the country that we must beef up courthouse security and make it
a priority."
The Atlanta courthouse shooting is a reminder of how some felony cases can quickly
take a dangerous turn, Van Buren County sheriffs office investigator Bobby Lockar said.
He said at least one sheriffs deputy will be added to the courtroom, which usually has
only one bailiff.
Logan County Sheriff Mark Limbird said he has had several recent discussions with
Circuit Judge Paul Danielson about improving security in the county's Paris and
Booneville courthouses.
Authorities plan to install a video arraignment system in each courthouse in May to
eliminate the need for prisoners to be in the courtroom in the first place. Several other
counties around the state are using the remote arraignment system.
In Franklin County, Sheriff Reed Haynes said he never wears a gun in the courtroom,

although he doesn't put that restriction on other deputies. "If[the Atlanta courtroom
deputy] hadn't had a gun, [the suspect] wouldn't have shot anyone," he said, referring to
reports that the suspect grabbed a deputy's weapon.
Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Marion Humphrey said security in his courtroom is
good, but could be better. "I don't have any reason not to feel safe,"the judge said. "I
just hope this doesn't lead to a lot of copying around the country." Information for this

Ex-wife, friend, describe Manley
Perry Manley split with his family living on the Kitsap
peninsula 15 years ago. He was no longer required to
Cc
make support payments to his now-grown children, but
his family said he was never able to put the bitterness
behind him.
His ex-wife Susan Calhoun said "he just still had issues,
he was still really bitter."
She said the problems started soon after their 1990
divorce, when a court ordered support payments for their"
three children.
Calhoun said Manley angrily quit his high-paying job to
spite his family and the court.
"It was a power struggle, I think, he didn't want anybody
to tell him what to do with his money," she said.
Calhoun thinks the tragic event was a final swipe at the
courts and his children.

was on Friday and his daughter's wedding is coming u
Calhoun said Manley always claimed he was denied
visitation and access to his children but his family said
that wasn't true and that the daughter visited him just sil
months ago.
Manley's friend Tom Swanson said Manley was willing t
die for what he believed in but said: "Perry never wante
to hurt anybody, he wanted to get attention."
"I had the feeling the last time we were down at the
federal courthouse with the flag-burning ceremony there
was a certain amount of premeditation, that he was
willing to die for what he believed in."
Manley was under investigation by the FBI for threats
against U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly who had
repeatedly denied his requests to bring a state case,
possibly related to 'deadbeat dad' child support payment
up to the federal level.
He e-mailed KING TV a few weeks ago saying he
planned to burn a flag on the steps of the courthouse. In
his note he also wrote:
25 Million U.S. Citizens called "NONCUSTODIAL
PARENTS,"are impoverished and imprisoned by the
government without the authority or the power. The
government denies these second class parents the
democratic rights we fight for in other countries. C
Child support is illegal, unlawful, and unconstitutional. It
violates five basic elements of our Bill of Rights; that
being life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, due process, and
equal protection under the law. Peonage, seizure of
property, coercion, threats of fear and intimidation are
illegal, unlawful, and unconstitutional. How many
children, grandparents, and parents must suffer before
you reveal the truth to America?
Many are suffering, commit suicide, live underground, o
are imprisoned. The time for oppression is coming to ar,
end.This must STOP now!"
Roads blocked, buildings evacuated
Police blocked off 8th and 9th Streets from Virginia to
Stewart while the drama unfolded. The streets were
reopened at around 2 p.m.

The Federal Courthouse in Seattle was locked down after
a man entered the building with at least one weapon.
"We were notified that there was an incident in the
building and the marshals would like for us to evacuate
the courthouse," said a woman who is an administrative
assistant in the building.
"We were pretty calm. The marshals do an excellent job
and were able to get everybody out of the building," said
another woman.
Robertson said the entire 23-story federal building was
evacuated, but some employees were allowed to return
while the bomb squad worked.
The new federal courthouse opened last August. Many of
the major security features of the $171 million high-rise at
Seventh Avenue and Stewart Street are disguised. Even
glass walls that permit ample sunlight are blast-resistant.
The new courthouse houses the U.S. Marshals Service,
judges, support staff and court clerks, as well as the U.S.
Attorney's Office, bankruptcy courts, and probation and
pretrial services.

"The security plant that we have in place worked. The

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM
April 6, 2006
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: John W. StinsoV,ssistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Staff Tour of Mondavi Center
Last Saturday Donna Kunz, Dianne Hoover, and I accompanied a group from the
Bakersfield Symphony including John Farrer, Milt Younger, Jon Stuebbe; County
Administrative Officer Ron Errea, Gregory Bynum, Carl Cole, Scott Garrison and
others to visit the Mondavi Center, a new performing arts center constructed on the
campus of UC Davis.
The Facility is a concert hall suitable for symphony, dance and theatrical productions
with about 1800 seats. (This capacity is desired by symphonies but below the
seating limits desired by many touring theatrical productions, however.) There is also
a smaller studio theatre (which is multi purpose), practice rooms and limited catering
facilities. The cost of the Center was approximately $75 Million when it was
constructed about four years ago and does not include the cost of land which was
contributed by the university, or the cost of a parking structure which was built by the
university and also serves other campus uses. There is an annual operating subsidy
of approximately $1 million currently provided by the university. The facility received
several large financial contributions including $25 million from the Mondavi Family
and several other significant contributions from private individuals and the State of
California.
The Symphony is beginning preliminary research into their proposed facility and is
looking at several site locations for a potential facility in Bakersfield including the
area north of the AMTRAK station and the Cal State University Bakersfield campus.
They still have considerable planning and fund raising to do before a facility is
feasible.
I have attached some photos and information about the Mondavi Center from their
web site.

SUBJECT: CITIZEN BURGLARY CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Council Referral No. 1458 (Ward 2)
COUNCIL MEMBER BENHAM REQUESTED STAFF RESPOND TO CORRESPONDENCE
FROM VICTOR HOLGUIN REGARDING A BURLARY ON MARCH 2, 2006 AT 555
BRUNDAGE LANE.
Council Member Benham's referral was assigned to the Investigations Division for follow-up.
Officers initially responded to the business due to a burglary alarm on March 2, 2006 at 11 :59
p.m. Upon arrival they discovered the north door to the business had been smashed with a
brick; no suspects were located inside the business.
Officers contacted Ana Bacerra, the manager of the Family Foods business, and she informed
them that it did not appear anything had been stolen from the store. Additionally, she informed
officers that video surveillance of the business would be available in several days.
On March 3rd, officers responded to the business again, at which time Ana Becerra advised
that property had, in fact, been removed from the business the night before; she also provided
officers with a copy of the video surveillance tape. Upon viewing the tape, officers were able to
obtain a license number for the possible suspect vehicle.
On April 3, 2006, Detective Dennis Murphy reviewed the videotape. Upon checking the
license number obtained from the video he responded to the registered owners address in
Lamont. This subject was determined to have a felony probation violation warrant out of
Ventura and was arrested. He denied having any knowledge of the burglary and was
transported to the police department where he was fingerprinted and photographed. No
suspected stolen property was located in his residence. Staff will conduct additional follow up
on this case and will try to identify the subject in the video.
Detective Murphy contacted Ana Becerra and informed her of the progress in this
investigation; she said she would share the information with the owner, Mr. Holquin.

SUBJECT: Group Home at 5809 Dorset Street
Council Referral #001442
Councilmember Couch requested staff explore options to assist the residents with
problems stemming from the group home on Dorset Street.
For almost 18 months, City staff has been working to advocate on behalf of the
residents living on Dorset Street that have been struggling to resolve public safety and
noise problems with a group home on their street.
I've made contact with representatives of the group home and the State agency that
oversees group homes. Agency representatives stated that they have made some
contact with the residents by phone, but the residents have complained that no
solutions have been offered. The matter still appears to be unresolved.
At the City Council meeting on April 5, 2006, a resolution was adopted requesting that
the State address the needs of the residents and modify State law to provide more legal
protections to all neighborhoods where group homes are located. The administrative
report, resolution, and letter to the state are attached.
On April 6, 2006, 1 will be meeting with a group of representatives from the State and
the group home in an attempt to encourage resolution of the conflict. The State has
verbally committed to meet with residents and hear their concerns in the near future.

CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Group Home at 5809 Dorset Drive
1. Resolution requesting the State Legislature amend state law pertaining to group
homes.
2. Letter to the Community Care Licensing Division of the State of California to be
signed by the City Council requesting action regarding the group home.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and Councilmembers sign the letter.
BACKGROUND:
Approximately eighteen months ago, a group home housing three autistic juveniles was established at
5809 Dorset Drive. Almost immediately, the neighbors of the group home began to have very unpleasant
experiences, ranging from having one of the residents of the group home try to force their way into a
neighboring home to a resident standing in the of the street in the middle of the night screaming at the top
of their lungs. On approximately forty occasions, the police department was called out to that location.
The neighbors have attempted to seek resolution of the issues at the local level with the representative of
California Mentor, the entity which runs the group home.
At the March 8, 2006, City Council meeting, several neighbors spoke and requested the Council's
assistance with the problems. Since that time, City staff has made attempts to contact group home
management and the state agency that oversees group homes and encourage them to communicate with
the residents. One contact was made with the group home, but no contact was made with the residents.
A few weeks later, representatives from the Group home and the state of California contacted the City.
Staff communicated to both that we are advocating on behalf of the residents, who feel like they have
nowhere to turn for help. The State representative has indicated a willingness to have a meeting with the
City and other parties involved with the group home. City staff is very appreciative of the offer to meet, but
insists that a representative from the community be invited or little will be accomplished by the meeting.

C:\DOCUME-1\achriste\LOCALS-1\Temp\grouphome.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Research into the law regarding group homes indicates that there are many protections for the residents
of the group home and no protections for the surrounding neighborhood — there is no formal mechanism
for the neighbors of a group home to voice any concerns about the conditions of the home or how the
home is impacting the neighborhood.
The resolution will request the legislature to look into amending state law to ensure that the neighborhood
in which a group home is located is afforded similar protections when the residents of the group home
create a situation which is unbearable for the neighborhood.
Similarly, the letter to Community Care Licensing Division is designed to bring the situation on Dorset
Drive to the attention of the entity that controls the licensing of the home. it is staff's intention to bring all
of the affected parties together to resolve the issues once and for all.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval for the Mayor and City Council to sign the letter.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF BAKERSFIELD REQUESTING THE STATE
LEGISLATURE TO AMEND STATE LAWS PERTAINING
TO GROUP HOMES.
WHEREAS, the California Legislature has adopted legislation in the Welfare and
Institutions Code regarding group homes; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to that legislation, group homes must be permitted in
residential areas; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield supports the proposition that residents of
group homes have the same rights and responsibilities of all individuals of the State of
California; and
WHEREAS, the City does not, however, agree that the rights afforded residents
of group homes is superior to the rights of the residents of the surrounding
neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, current legislation has a myriad of safeguards pertaining to the
residents of the group homes; and
WHEREAS, there is no mention in the legislation of safeguards for the neighbors
and neighborhoods surrounding the group homes; and
WHEREAS, for the past eighteen months, a group home has been operating in
the northeast section of Bakersfield; and
WHEREAS, for those eighteen months, the residents living in the area of the
group home have dealt with numerous situations involving residents of the group home
attempting to break into their homes, confronting them in their yards, screaming in the
street in the middle of the night and other acts which demonstrate a lack of control of
the residents by the counselors who are tasked with supervision; and
WHEREAS, when neighbors approached supervisors requesting a complaint
form or other mechanism to address their concerns, no document or process was
forthcoming for more than one year; and
WHEREAS, the California Code of Regulations adopted to facilitate the group
home legislation makes mention of a complaint procedure, however, it is strictly
designed for the residents of the group homes or their families to protest treatment,
conditions or behavior inside the group home; and
SACOUNCUResos\05-06 Resos\grouphomeamend.DOC
--Page 1 of 3 Pages --
WHEREAS, there is no mechanism in place for neighbors to lodge complaints
with the agency(ies) overseeing the group home; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield desires to see the legislation amended to
permit the neighbors surrounding group homes to have a voice to ensure that they, too,
are able to have their concerns about the group homes addressed by entities with the
power to correct the problems or concerns.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Bakersfield as follows:
1. That the above recitals are true and correct;
2. That the Council requests the California Legislature to amend the Welfare
and Institutions Code and adopt appropriate regulations which will enable the
neighbors surrounding group homes to have a mechanism to report complaints
and concerns regarding their safety and privacy and that such mechanism will
set forth a procedure with a rapid response time, so residents surrounding the
group home may live in peace and safety.

Suffice it to say that the residents of Dorset Drive are tired of hearing from
the City that our hands are tied and hearing from the local placement facility
that nothing is wrong at the home. Attached are copies of the many reports
of calls for service made to the Police Department in the previous one and
one-half years. The neighborhood is incensed and rightly so.
This situation at the group home needs to be dealt with immediately. We
look forward to hearing from you how the State intends to remedy this
problem.

Mike NIaggard
Hice-flavor Dear Ms. Melvin:
Ward 3
The group home located at 5809 Dorset Drive in the City of Bakersfield has
Irma Carson caused and continues to cause problems for the neighborhood. While the
{lard 1 City is very much aware that State law assures the clients of that home the
Susan NI.Benham same rights as all citizens of the State, we do not believe that the State ever
Ward 2 intended that the rights of those clients were to be superior to the rights of
the neighbors residing in the surrounding homes. Those residents, too, have
David Couch rights.
Ward 4
Harold NV.Hanson While Section 4502 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code allows
Hard 5 persons with developmental disabilities the same rights as other individuals
in the State, it also holds that they have the same responsibilities. One of
Jacquie Sullivan those responsibilities is to live in harmony with their neighbors. The City will
{Uard 6 never discriminate against the residents of a group home. Nor, however, will
Zack Scrivner we countenance the behavior which is occurring on a regular basis.
Ward 7 Regardless of a person's disability, they cannot be allowed to strike terror in
their neighbors to the point where parents will not let their children play in
their own front yards. People should not be afraid to open their door lest one
of the group home residents attempts to force their way inside. The
Constitution never intended to permit people to become prisoners in their
own homes.
Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 4501, "The State of
California accepts a responsibility for persons with developmental disabilities
and an obligation to them which it must discharge. Affecting hundreds of
thousands of children and adults directly, and having an important impact
on the lives of their families, neighbors, and whole communities,
developmental disabilities present social, medical, economic, and legal
programs of extreme importance." All the City and its citizens are asking is
for the State to do its job and monitor the behavior of the clients.

Date: April 5, 2006
To: Captain B. Bivens
From: Lt. G. Moore
Subject: Animal Control Referral
This memo is a response to referral # 001436, a referral from Councilman Scrivner.
Our animal control supervisor has contacted Kern County Animal Control and offered to
unite in clinics involving licensing, rabies vaccinations, and providing spay/neutering
information. In the past we have worked along side the county in local rabies clinics.
We employ 4 animal control officers and one new temporary animal control officer. An
animal control officer's work day consists of handling calls for service and completing
related reports. In the past year our office clerk presented 12 educational programs in
the Bakersfield City School district and presented a four hour animal education program
at the police department. We plan on continuing these efforts in the future.
Recently, I requested 3 of our officers to conduct a canvass of 20 residences each. Of
the 60 residents surveyed we found the following:
own no dogs own 1 dog own 2 dogs own 3 dogs own 5 dogs
16 32 8 3 1
57 % of the dogs were licensed
55 % were altered
The canvassing efforts can yield positive financial and compliance results.
Neighborhood canvassing efforts could be conducted using additional temporary
positions.
According to City Licensing, in 2005, 9,457 dog licenses were sold. A total $272,874.00
was generated from dog licenses.
Many communities have non-profit groups which assist in subsidizing and providing
spay/neutering services. At a recent workshop I attended in Pasadena, I learned that
few cities and counties provide these services. There are several private foundations
and grant opportunities available, however, none of them offer financial aid to
government agencies. In reviewing the information accompanying the referral I notice
that the funding sources for the spay/neuter programs are fees, grants, donations and
sponsorships, not governmental funding. Our participation in spay/neutering clinics
could include publicity, licensing, education and providing general information.
I anticipate that our revenues for licenses could increase should we decide to use a
canvassing component, provided we issue citations for license violations at the
residence. One obstacle to overcome will be the truthfulness of the residents when
surveyed. We found this to be an issue in our canvassing mentioned above, as many
residents would only give information when they were assured that this was an
informational survey only.
In reviewing the violations that both agencies cite for, it appears that though the code
sections are different, the actual descriptions of the violations are very similar. They
include: Unleashed dogs, unlicensed dogs, improper fencing, cruelty by not providing
proper shelter, cruelty by not providing food or water and cruelty by inflicting injury. With
regard to creating an ordinance prohibiting the sale or other type of transfer of animals,
it is certainly possible. However, with ever increasing calls for service, I suspect that if
we received a call of this nature it would have a priority rating which would cause it to
hold until the animal control officer handled all vicious animals, animal bites, and traffic
hazard calls.
