CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
May 19, 2006
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager H T(tt, n�E,
SUBJECT: General Information
1. Congratulations to the Police Department for receipt of a Traffic Safety Grant Award of
$502,000 to fund DUI enforcement, DUI community education awareness, and the
purchase of technology equipment for traffic officers. A press release from Senator
Ashburn's office announcing the award is attached.
2. Over the next several years we will face circumstances where early right-of-way
acquisition questions come up regarding the TRIP program. Generally, the monies
can not be used for right-of-way until all environmental documents are done, which will
be 18 months to three years from now, depending on project specifics. There are a
few exceptions, such as hardship and other considerations, each of which must be
reviewed and approved by the state and federal agencies. Reviews are slow and the
granting of exceptions is rare. The final alternative is to use transportation development
fee money if the particular project is on the list and where the only credit we get in the
end is the value of the useable property as part of our local match requirements years
from now.
When these questions come from council referrals or other sources we will review
them and may occasionally bring forward a proposal to purchase property. If you have
questions, please call.
3. Prior to the State financial captures and the downsizing we went through a few years
ago, we had been studying alternatives for building space needs. Essentially, we have
dealt with space needs over time by adding facilities and further decentralizing - the
Development Services Building and the leasing of space at 900 Truxtun for EDCD and
Recreation and Parks are examples.
We do not like to continue to decentralize as it makes it harder for citizens to get
effective service without travel and it makes internal communications more difficult.
With the addition of 146 positions (assuming budget approval for this discussion) we
are back to full occupancy and are, in effect, bulging at the seams in most of our
facilities. It is, therefore, time to take out the old studies that were put away and update
them. Space constraints are not our first priority, but our main facility is a 1954 vintage
building!

4. The first "Music and Movies" event at the Bright House Networks Amphitheatre take
place this evening featuring the Three Majestics (the music) and Field of Dreams (the
movie). Admission will be $5.00 for adults and $2.00 for students.
5. We have received strong interest from businesses interested in purchasing naming
rights for the pavilions at The Park at River Walk. There are a total of seven
sponsorships to be named at $15,000 each for five years.
6. We have received a proposal from a company that wants to provide wireless internet
service throughout Bakersfield via the use of mounted radio transmission equipment
on City power poles that they would lease from us. Although the concept is new to us,
"WiFi", as it is referred to, is operating in a number of cities throughout California and
the nation. There would be no cost to the City; lease revenue, from initial estimates,
would be $180,000 to $200,000 annually. There would also be other advantages,
such as free use of the wireless network for the City organization, saving us the costs
we currently pay for T-1 phone lines to various remote sites and the network could also
be used for wireless surveillance for graffiti and code enforcement. A report is
attached with preliminary information on the proposal, along with an article from
Governing Magazine on the use of municipal wireless internet service. We will provide
more information for you as we do more research on the feasibility of the concept.
7. The Special Enforcement Gang Violence for the month of April is enclosed.
8. The 3rd quarter update from EDCD is enclosed for your review.
9. The Streets Division work schedule and status report on 05/06 CDBG funded street
improvements is enclosed.
10. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows:
Vice-Mayor Maggard
• Status on addressing draining issue at Riverlakes Ranch area;
• Confirmation of attendance by Rockin' Rodeo representative at Safe
Neighborhoods and Community Relations Committee meeting;
Councilmember Couch
• Update on the Verdugo/Shellebarger project

Ashburn Assists Traffic Safety Grant
Over $500,000 awarded to Bakersfield PD for DUI enforcement
SACRAMENTO— Senator Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) today announced a grant award
of over half a million dollars to the Bakersfield Police Department from the state Office
of Traffic Safety for their DUI Enforcement and Awareness program. Ashburn, Kern
County's senior legislative representative, intervened on behalf of the department in
March of this year and was notified of the award May 121n
In its application, the Bakersfield Police Department noted that the city has been one of
the fastest growing communities in the nation, increasing in population by 42% over the
past ten years. Along with the growth have come increases in traffic related problems.
The Traffic Section has thus targeted the ever-growing and deadly problem of DUI
drivers. Over the past five years the Department has seen the DUI fatality rate approach
25%. A concerted DUI crackdown effort in 2005 resulted in 250 arrests.
"The growth of our community has been a mixed blessing." said Senator Ashburn.
"Along with the prosperity and opportunities that we see from Bakersfield's phenomenal
growth, have come the inevitable law enforcement and public safety issues. It only
makes sense then to take whatever steps we can to beef up the ability of our police
department to keep our streets safe from dangerous drivers. I am glad I was able to play a
role in this effort,"Ashburn concluded.
j 562,45
The Traffic Safety Grant will be received in the amount of$502,000 from Federal traffic
safety funds administered by the California Office of Traffic Safety(OTS). The bulk of
the funding will be spent on police officer man hours, in addition to the purchase of new
electronic equipment and operational costs of the program.
"DUI enforcement is a critical component for public safety. With the addition of these
funds the department will continue our efforts related to DUI enforcement, education, and
acquiring new technology," said Bakersfield Chief of Police Bill Rector. "We appreciate
Senator Ashburn's assistance on this grant and we are appreciative of the efforts of the
Office of Traffic Safety."

To reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol related crashes, the
Department's proposal calls for the implementation of"best practice strategies" such as
DUI checkpoints and DUI roving patrols. Officers will also conduct stakeout operations
to concentrate on known repeat offenders, and serve warrants on violators who fail to
appear or violate probation. The program is slated to begin October 1, 2006 and operate
through December 31 s`, 2008
Senator Ashburn represents the 18`x' Senate District including Tulare, Kern, Inyo, and
San Bernardino Counties.

MEMORANDUM
May 19, 2006
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Alan Christensen, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Company Inquiry to Provide Wireless Internet Access
City staff is analyzing a proposal from a company named MetroFi that is requesting to lease City
power poles in order to provide wireless internet service throughout Bakersfield. What they are
requesting is very similar to the franchise agreements that the City has with phone,gas,electric,and
cable companies in town. MetroFi estimates that about 200 light poles are needed to mount radio
transmission equipment to provide the service city wide.
MetroFi proposes wireless internet service or"WiFi"at no cost to local customers. The cost of the
service is paid for with local advertising on content web pages. They also offer an option for service
without advertising for about $20 per month. Speeds are similar but not quite as fast as cable
modem or DSL. Of course,this is an excellent alternative for residents who cannot afford the cost
of internet service.
MetroFi already operates in several California cities: Santa Clara, Cupertino, Foster City,
Sunnyvale,Mountain View and San Francisco. They have agreements signed with Portland,Oregon,
and Aurora, Illinois.
There is no cost to the City; rather, the company offers to pay the City lease payments of $36 per
light pole. The lease revenue is estimated to be between$180,000 and$200,000 annually. MetroFi
has also offered to provide their wireless network for free to the City where now we currently pay for
T-1 phone lines to remote sites such as Fire Stations. In addition, their network could be used for
wireless surveillance in graffiti and code enforcement, again at no cost.
Attached are two pictures of MetroFi radio antennas mounted on light poles in other communities.
Also attached is an article from Governing magazine on how local governments are allowing private
companies to offer WiFi service in their communities at little or no cost to customers.
More study needs to take place before a recommendation from staff comes to you.

Proposal for City to assume operation of County Station #65
• County would give existing Station #65 including property to City to
operate effective July 2007.
• City would construct and staff a new station at the location recently
purchased by City.
• Simultaneous with the opening of the new location, first in zones and fire
funds involved would be altered appropriately.
• City would receive revenues from the Station #65 first in zone as amended
for a long enough time frame to pay off station construction. The current
estimate is five years irrespective of whether Station #68 is constructed or
a minimum time period sufficient to service the debt required to fund the
capital cost for the station.

NON-PROFIT/PUBLIC FACILITY PUBLIC SERVICE PROJECTS
The following various non-profit organizations are being financially assisted to improve the level
of service for operating their public facilities.

An Agreement with the Bakersfield Senior Center(BSC) located at 530 4th Street was approved
by City Council on October 26th for $50,000 (FY05-06 CDBG funds). BSC used the funds to
continue its current level of services to seniors in southeast and central Bakersfield. The

2. Bakersfield Homeless Center
Agreement #05-340 between the City and the Bakersfield Homeless Center was approved for

HOUSING, ECONOMIC AND NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PROJECTS
The following private and non-profit organizations are being assisted by staff to acquire, develop
or improve their housing and neighborhood/commercial facilities.
1. Habitat for Humanity
An agreement was executed that allows Habitat to utilize a total of $100,000 in CHDO HOME
funds to build five affordable single family homes. These homes will be sold to families whose
income is between 30% and 50% of the area's median income. The selected Habitat family and
volunteers provide the needed sweat equity labor to construct the homes. In addition to
assisting with acquisition costs, the loan to Habitat assists in paying for such construction costs
as school fees, building permits, appraisal fees and construction supervision. Habitat initially has
access to $50,000 to expend within 18 months of the date of the execution of the agreement,
which was June of 2004. To date, Habitat has expended $25,000 for the purchase of one infill
lot. The lack of availability of infill lots and the increasing value of these lots has hampered
Habitat's ability to purchase additional lots. Under the agreement, if the original $50,000 was
expended within the 18 month time period they would have access to an additional $50,000.
Habitat completed the purchase of the property located at 337 Haley in December of 2005 and is
currently under construction of a single-family home. The project agreement with Habitat for
Humanity expires the end of June 2006.

2. Tax Defaulted Properties
The County of Kern compiled a list of real properties for which property taxes have not been paid
for a minimum of five years. Pursuant to the County selling these properties at auction, the City

been successful in gaining the right to purchase six properties over the past few years. The
current tax sale took place in August of this year and EDCD staff objected to the sale of 13
properties. Of the 13 properties, 11 were available to purchase and two were redeemed by the
property owners. Four of the properties located on Union Avenue and zoned commercial are
part of the 11 with the remaining properties all residential empty lots in the Southeast
Redevelopment Area. The Agency has purchased the 11 parcels from the County and should
have title on the parcels in late June.
3. The Parkview Cottages Housin_g Project
The City was awarded a $1.2 million HELP loan which was used to acquire a portion of the old
foundry site located at 21St and "R" streets. The project consists of 74 single-family housing
units, ranging from 1,280 to 1,820 square feet. Each unit will be two stories and have a
two/three car garage. The estimated total project cost is $10.4 million of which $1.4 in HOME
and $970,000 in RDA funds have been set aside for the City's Down Payment Assistance
program. Seventeen homes are currently under construction. Twelve units have been
completed, two as models. The anticipated completion date for the entire project is November

4. Southeast Bakersfield Infill Housin_q Project
The City was awarded a $500,000 CaIHFA loan to build affordable housing on scattered lots in
southeast Bakersfield. The RDA assumed all rights and obligations of the loan on February 26,
2003. Round four of the infill housing project is expected to begin in the summer of 2006. Key
round four changes include: increasing the loan amount from $100K to $200K; providing down
payment assistance up to $40,000; increasing the project area boundary to include the entire
Southeast Redevelopment Project area. These changes are necessary due to rising
construction and lot costs. The agreement time frame will be in place for two years and the
contractors will be obligated to complete at least four homes within the two-year period. To date
a total of sixteen new homes have been constructed. When the program was first initiated lots
were available in the price range of $7,000 to $10,000. Currently this range has increased to
$65,000 to $90,000. The Agency will be using 7 of the recently purchased tax defaulted
properties to sell to a contractor for construction of the affordable homes.
5. Bakersfield College Foundation Construction Alliance for Student Achievement
(CASA) Pro_-gram
The Redevelopment Agency approved the donation of three residential lots to Bakersfield
College Foundation (BCF) to build infill affordable homes in the Southeast. Bakersfield College
(BC) was awarded approximately $500,000 in HUD 2004 funding under the Hispanic Serving
Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) program. This grant will be used to fund the
Construction Alliance for Student Achievement (CASA) project.
BCF has collaborated with Bakersfield College, Coleman Homes (Lennox currently) and other
agencies to train students in the construction trades. The CASA program will enhance job
opportunities among low income residents while assuring developers and construction firms
have an adequate skilled labor pool to meet market demands for affordable housing. This
SMEBBIE'SIEDCD Activity Reportsl3rd quarterly update 2005-06.doc 4
activity would address the demand for skilled craftsmen/women in the construction field, and
provide job training skills among minority populations within older impoverished neighborhoods
of Bakersfield. Bakersfield College has 10 students enrolled in its CASA program and attending
classes currently.
The CASA program will be participating in the Southeast Bakersfield Infill Housing Project.
Bakersfield College Foundation (BCF) took title to the three lots located at 339 Brown, 124
Hayes and 301 Owens Streets in November, 2005. BCF is eligible to receive an infill housing
construction loan from the RDA, CaIHFA funds for up to $100,000.
BC Foundation has commenced construction. The foundation and slab have been poured on the
site at 339 South Brown Street. BC will be taking a summer break and resume construction of
the framework for the home in their fall semester school year.

Honorable Councilman Michael Maggard

Dear Councilman Maggard,
i am the president of the Rmwlakes Ranch Master Association, a homeowners'
association representing approximately 1244 homes in the Riveriakes area. We are
roughly bounded by Coffee on the east. Riverlakes on the west, Olive on the north, and
Granite Falls on the south. My understanding is that this area was transferred to your
ward from that of Councilman Couch. In case I am in error on this point, I am sending a
copy of this letter to Councilman Couch as well. I am writing this letter in my cgmcity
as president_
The lake at Rwerlakes is awned by the Association and is maintained exclusively
at the expense of the homeowner members, with no contribution of any sort from the
City of Bakersfield. However, when the City of Bakersfield approved the plans for the
area, it approved a drainage system which accepts drainage from streets and homes
which are not members of the Association. I believe this has been pointed out before.
As an example, the fourplex units project south of Southshore and west of Coffee has
foundations which appear to stand approximately four feet above the grade of
Southshore. We were not asked about the City approved grading design and were
unaware of this. The project owners have refused to join the Association or pay any
dues to A. This project drains to our iske. The and result is that the Association bears
the cost to handle and treat this drainage. I believe the same result Is occurring with
the construction of the buildings on Coffee adjaoent to the McDonalds at Coffee and
Hageman.
The drainage from both these areas comes to a series of sumps owned and
maintained by the Association which are designed to hold such waste before the
drainage enters the lake. To date the cost of periodically cleaning these sumps and
trucking the waste has been borne entirely by the Association. At this point, however,
because of new building in the area, the amount of drainage and waste directed into
these sumps has significantly increased.
On behalf of the Board and the homeowners, I am writing to ask that the City
consider a oonbftnm to the cost of maintenance of these sumps as drainage from city
are adding to the probierns.
1 would be happy to discuss the matter with you at your convenience and to
show you the nature of the problem.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Very U*yours.

DATE: May 19, 2006
SUBJECT: STREET PAVING AND STREET LIGHT ISSUES
Referral No. 1492 (council Meeting Date: 5/10/06)
COUNCILMEMBER SULLIVAN REQUESTED STAFF REPAVE EDMONTON STREET AND
REQUESTED A TIME FRAME FOR THIS REQUEST; REQUESTED THE SCHEDULE FOR
REPAVING OF SURREY LANE, CARLTON AND EMERSON; AND
REQUESTED STAFF REPAIR STREET LIGHTS IN THE AREA OF PLANZ AND AKERS.
LOCATIONS ARE NOTED ON ATTACHMENT.
Street Paving
Due to delays in getting street material, the Streets Division is running behind on paving
the streets that have been prepared for an overlay.
The paving crew is currently reconstructing streets in the area east of Emerson Street.
If there are no delays, the resurfacing of Emerson Street and Surrey lane will be
completed during the week of May 29, 20006.
Carlton Street was inspected by the Street Superintendent and found to be in good
condition. It is not in need of resurfacing at this time.
Street Lights
General Services Electricians repaired three street lights, # 61434, #10760, and #9204.
The repairs were completed on 5/17/2006.

DATE: May 15, 2006
SUBJECT: CLOSURE OF CHADBOURN ST. CUL-DE-SAC
Referral No. 1497
***REFERRAL TO PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT (LEAD) AND POLICE DEPARTMENT***
COUNCILMEMBER SCRIVNER REQUESTED STAFF RESEARCH THE FEASIBILITY OF
CLOSING OFF ACCESS AT THE CUL-DE-SAC ON CHADBOURN STREET REQUESTED
BY DEBRA WILSON.
Traffic Engineering reviewed the request for closure of access at the end of the cul-de-sac of
Chadbourn Street. The requested closure would not affect the street or access for vehicles
using the street. A wall opening at the end of the street would need to be closed by either
construction of additional wall or installation of a gate or other device that could be locked in a
closed position. Similar closings of an opening connection to the greenbelt area were
apparently done in the past to eliminate pedestrian access. The requested closing of access to
the greenbelt area is feasible.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: W. R. RECTOR, CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: May 19, 2006
SUBJECT: Closure of Chadbourn Street Cul-de-sac
Council Referral No. 1497 (Ward 7)
Council Member Scrivner requested staff research the feasibility of closing off access at the
cul-de-sac on Chadbourn Street requested by Debra Wilson.
The police department has no objections to closing the entrance from Chadbourn Street to the Pacific
Gas and Electric greenbelt which adjoins that street and several others. It's recommended that if the
Chadbourn access is closed that the remaining access openings also be closed at Axminster and
Brunswick Streets to prevent the same problems experienced on Chadbourn Street from occurring on
those streets. The closure would not impact the police department's ability to access the greenbelt and
in fact, would make for a safer neighborhood.
Please call if you have any questions.
