Below is a brief update on the allocations that we have been awarded to date as well as potential funding we are applying for. The Energy Efficiency Block Grant listed below is a formula based allocation that requires an application process. We have been moving through that process and are confident that we will receive those funds. The $35 million listed for Surface Transportation is a highly competitive application process, with the funds intended for Phase 6 of the Westside Parkway (Allan to Heath). I would like to thank all of the various staff members who have and continue to work diligently to prepare applications and other required materials. These efforts have led to our success in going after ARRA funding. Awarded Allocations: Source Allocation Community Development Block Grant $ 897,462 Homelessness Prevention 1,372,351 Highway Infrastructure 12,100,000 COPS Program 5,062,124 Byrne JAG (Formula) 830,773 Total Allocations $ 20,262,710 Pending Applications: Source Allocation Energy Efficiency Block Grant $ 3,040,700 Surface Transportation 35,000,000 Byrne JAG (Competitive) 315,000 Assistance to Firefighters 60,000 Total Pending Applications $ 38,415,700 -� In the enclosed articles, the CalPERS chief actuary says CalPERS is, "facing decades without significant turnarounds in assets, decades of - what I, my personal words, nobody else's - unsustainable pension costs of between 25 percent of pay for a miscellaneous plan and 40 to 50 percent of pay for a safety plan...unsustainable pension costs." In 1999, legislation (513400) enacted a major benefit increase which CalPERS said would cost taxpayers little or no money because the heavy returns CalPERS was experiencing were likely to remain the norm. Since Honorable Mayor and City Council August 14, 2009 Page 2 then, local governments have felt pressured to adopt higher retirement formulas because their neighbors adopted them and that was a major way to remain competitive in the labor market. The League of California Cities believes eliminating all options and returning to pre-SB400 retirement formulas for new hires would eliminate the competition between local governments. Another idea is to create a two-tier system in which all new hires get a 401 (k)-style pension plan, in which they are encouraged or required to set aside a portion of each paycheck for their retirement, with a partial government contribution match. Now, with 25 percent of CaIPERS' portfolio wiped out from the stock market crash last year, the CalPERS board wants to convene employers, labor, legislators and other stakeholders in the system to start a constructive dialogue on the sustainability of pension benefits. MISCELLANEOUS CITY NEWS -� As of noon today, eastbound traffic has been shifted to the mainline of SR-178 and northbound traffic on Fairfax is able to cross the bridge. Southbound traffic on Fairfax should be able to cross this afternoon. The on- and off-ramps are still closed. Security Paving Company (SPC) plans to begin construction on a temporary detour of the Kern River Bike Path near Mohawk Street the week of August 17th. The temporary connection will allow the bike path to remain open during construction of the Mohawk Street Extension Project. The existing bike path will remain open while this detour work is performed. SPC also plans to begin pile driving operations for the new bridge across the Kern River in late August. This construction will require a temporary closure of the equestrian trail, located on the north side of the Kern River, through the construction zone. The Hoey Jogging Trail will also be closed within the construction area while work is underway. Jogging trail users may bypass the construction zone by using the bike path. These closures will remain in place while the bridge is under construction and while work could compromise trail user's safety. The trails will all be restored as part of the Mohawk Street Expansion project. Upon the project's completion, the equestrian trail will continue along the north side of the Kern River and reconnect with the existing trail on either side of the bridge. The restored trail will be 20-feet wide and have a vertical clearance of 13 to 14 feet beneath the bridge. The Hoey Jogging Trail will also be restored and will run alongside the bike path beneath the bridge. -� In May 2009, Bakersfield Police Department was selected to receive a Pedestrian Safety Assessment funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. This week, safety experts from UC Berkeley met with Lt. Scott McDonald, representatives of Traffic Engineering and CalTrans to share information regarding specific intersections in Bakersfield. A comprehensive written report will be available for the City within the next six to eight weeks. The attached memo has more detailed information. -� The following reports are enclosed: • The Police Department's Special Enforcement Unit's Gang Violence Report for July 2009. • The Construction Division's weekly update of the roadway paving projects. • The Streets Division work schedule for the week of August 10th AT:rk cc: Department Heads; Pamela McCarthy, City Clerk; Roberta Gafford, Assistant City Clerk Capitol Weekly: From CalPensions: CalPERS actuary says pension costs are not sustaina...

' ,'09 1.��;0 AM ���;.T The CalPERS chief actuary says pension costs are "unsustainable" and the giant public employee pension system plans to meet with stakeholders to discuss the issue. So, are the critics right? Do overly generous pensions threaten to eat up too much of state and local government budgets? A historic stock market crash wiped out a quarter of the CalPERS investment fund last fiscal year. Some experts are forecasting limited investment earnings in the years ahead, making it difficult to replace the losses. Now "sustainability," a term used in environmental discussions, has become a common label for a big question about public employee pensions: Will the current level of benefits be affordable in the future? The question of pension sustainability emerged as a hot topic during a seminar in Sacramento last week sponsored by the Public Retirement Journal. Ron Seeling, the CalPERS chief actuary, described the process used to "smooth" the rate increases that will be imposed on the 1,500 local government agencies in CalPERS in 2011 in the wake of the stock market crash. Instead of a rate increase of 4 to 20 percent of pay, the smoothing will reduce the rate hike to a more manageable 0.5 to 2 percent of pay. "I don't want to sugarcoat anything," Seeling said as he neared the end of his comments. "We are facing decades without significant turnarounds in assets, decades of — what I, my personal words, nobody else's — unsustainable pension costs of between 25 percent of pay for a miscellaneous plan and 40 to 50 percent of pay for a safety plan (police and firefighters) ... unsustainable pension costs. We've got to find some other solutions." Anne Stausboll, the CalPERS chief executive officer, told the seminar that the CalPERS board talked about the "cost and sustainability of pension benefits" the previous week and decided that the system should take a "proactive role" on the issue. "They asked us to formulate a way to convene our stakeholders — employers, labor, legislators and other stakeholders in our system — to convene everybody and start having a constructive dialogue on sustainability of pension benefits," Stausboll said. Dwight Stenbakken of the League of California Cities told the seminar that pension benefits are 'just unsustainable" in their current form and difficult to defend politically. "I think it's incumbent upon labor and management to get together and solve this problem before it gets on the ballot," he said. Public pension advocates worry about a drive to replace the 'defined benefit" plan, a guaranteed monthly check for life, with the 'defined contribution" 401(k)-style individual investment plan increasingly common in the private sector. Four years ago Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger briefly backed an initiative proposed by former Assemblyman http:l,/v TN"v.capitolvveckly.net/article.php?xid—y6xkevj 1 jbdeww 8/13/2009 Capitol Weekly: From CalPensions: Ca1PERS actuary says pension costs are not sustaina... Page 2 of 3 Keith Richman, R-Northridge, that would have switched all new state and local government hires to a 401 (k)-style plan. But Richman has since called a switch to a 401(k)-style plan "politically" unfeasible. He and the California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility have talked about extending retirement ages and capping pension payments at two-thirds of final pay. (See Calpensions 26 Jan 09: "Pension intiative via internet") Last June Schwarzenegger, calling current benefits"unsustainable," proposed that pensions for new state hires be rolled back to the formulas used before CalPERS-sponsored legislation, SB 400, enacted a major benefit increase in 1999. (See Calpensions 30 Jun 09: "Arnold: cut retirement benefits for new hires") The governor dropped an attempt to make his"two-tier" pension reform proposal part of state budget negotiations. But he added pension reform to the list of issues he plans to pursue with legislative leaders later this year. Schwarzenegger's plan is similar to a proposal made four years ago by a League of Cities task force, which also referred to "dramatic benefit enhancements" made in the late 1990s. The legislation, SB 400, only increased benefits for state workers. But the same higher benefits are now widespread among local government pension systems. "The excuse that I've always heard is, "We don't want to adopt these retirement formulas, but I have to because our neighbors adopted it and we have to be competitive in the labor market," said the League of Cities' Stenbakken. He said eliminating all options and returning to pre-SB 400 retirement formulas for new hires would eliminate the competition between local governments that have increased pension benefits. "I think this is one of the major mistakes we made with the PERS system,"said Stenbakken. "STRS, the State Teachers Retirement System, doesn't have this problem. If you're a teacher in Eureka or you're a teacher in Los Angeles Unified, you get the same pension." In California, attempts to cut pension benefits are usually two-tier plans, cutting benefits only for new hires. Pensions bargained under labor contracts are said to be protected by court decisions, which allow cuts only if something of equal value is provided. "In terms of dealing with pension cost currently, I only know of two ways to do it,"said Stenbakken. "That's lay people off or reduce salaries." A retirement actuary, John Bartel, told the seminar that two-tier plans do not save much money, even after several decades. He said costs from the untouchable high-benefit first tier, a vested right protected by contract law, continue to grow. "Unless that vested right issue changes, and I'm not expecting it will, that second tier is not going to save money," he said. Bartel said his clients tell him that the main motivation for switching to a two-tier plan tends to be "political in nature," rather than an expectation of significant savings. "It's because a board member or a council member can stand up and say, "We think there's a lot of bleeding here and we need to stop that bleeding, and we are going to do it on that basis,"' he said. "That's what I'm hearing from my clients." Labor union officials told the seminar they worry that statewide pension reform legislation might bypass local collective bargaining. They said the Richman group's list of 5,000 pensioners that receive $100,000 or more a year is less than 1 percent of total public employee pensions. http://www.capitolweekly.net/article.php?xid=y6xkevj 1 jbdeww 8/13/2009 Capitol Weekly: From CalPensions: Ca1PERS actuary says pension costs are not sustaina... Page 3 of 3 "I actually think it is sustainable," said Terry Brennand of the Service Employees International Union. He said the basic problem is investment losses, not high benefit levels. "What is sustainable?" said Lou Paulson of the California Professional Firefighters. He said proposals to extend the retirement age for firefighters from 50 to 55 would result in more injuries with advancing age, driving up workers' compensation costs.

It recommended that the I A WMLP WffU=LAS . Legislature and Gov. Gray Davis sharply increase the pension benefits for more than 800,000 state employees �. and retirees. _ Ca1PERS officials said the massive benefits spike would cost taxpayers little or no money because the heavy returns the pension giant enjoyed on its portfolio were likely to remain the norm. Incredibly,the Legislature and Davis ` believed this absurdly rosy scenario.Nearly all local agencies followed the state's lead in sharply increasing pensions. Now,with Ca1PERS'portfolio in tatters and with practically every last government pension provider - struggling desperately to cover the cost of benefits, Ca1PERS' actuary is finally conceding what its board members and top executives can't bring themselves to say: The pension status quo has to die. Ron Seeling said at a Sacramento forum that Ca1PERS and its member agencies were facing decades of"unsustainable pension costs of between 25 percent of pay for a miscellaneous plan(covering general employees) and 40 to 50 percent of pay for(police and firefighters) ... . We've got to find some other solutions." If Calpensions blogger Ed Mendel hadn't attended the forum and reported Seeling's remarks, Ca1PERS might have continued with its formula of bland assurances that all is well and accounting gimmicks. Remember, earlier this summer, Ca1PERS shielded its 1,500 local government agency members from the effects of the stock market crash by limiting the increase in the contributions they must pay starting in 2011 and spreading out required rate hikes over the next 30 years. As Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger noted,this amounted to forcing the next generation of Californians to pay for this generation's mistakes. But Seeling's grim prognosis will make it much tougher for Ca1PERS'board and public-relations team to get away with happy talk and trickery. And it should build momentum for Schwarzenegger's call for big changes. http://signonsandiego.pn'ntthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Finally%2C+honesty&expire=&... 8/14/2009 Finally,honesty Page 2 of 2 We continue to think that the best fix would be to create a two-tier system in which all new hires of a 401(k)-s le g (k)-style pension plan, in which they were encouraged or required to set aside a portion of each P a Y check for their retirement, with a partial government contribution match. The old argument that public employees deserved a defined-benefit pension because they made less than private-sector workers is no longer remotely true; average annual public-sector pay is one-third higher than private-sector pay. We suspect that voters would eagerly vote for such a change if it were on the ballot. P g Y g Such a plan, of course,would be DOA in the public employee-friendly Legislature. Democratic leaders appear open only o mild reforms such as basin pensions on an employee's final five ears of a instead of the last ear.

McDonald, Operations Division — Traffic SectioW2r^ p ;� Subject: Bakersfield Pedestrian Safety Assessment In April 2009, the Bakersfield Police Department Traffic Section applied to the Institute of Transportation Studies Tech Transfer Program at the University of California, Berkeley for a Pedestrian Safety Assessment for the City of Bakersfield. This request was made as part of an effort to reduce the number of auto/pedestrian traffic collisions in the City. Since 2003, there have been 45 pedestrian fatalities in the City. In May 2009, the City of Bakersfield was selected as one of approximately twenty cities in California to receive the assessment. The Pedestrian Safety Assessment is designed to assist traffic engineers and law enforcement with improving design and safety on our streets. Two pedestrian safety experts from UC Berkeley joined a City Traffic Engineer, three engineers from Cal Trans, and the Police Department Traffic Section Commander in working on this assessment. The assessment consisted of providing numerous documents to the pedestrian safety experts, as well as a two hour phone conference and a two day site visit by all of the participants. The site visit focused on Union Avenue, Chester Avenue, and H Street, all between Brundage Lane and 24th Street. These areas were selected due to their high volumes of pedestrian traffic. Input for this assessment was solicited from the Golden Empire Transit District and Downtown Business Association. The UC Berkeley team will provide a comprehensive written report to the City within the next six to eight weeks. This report will suggest design improvements and strategies which could be implemented to increase pedestrian safety throughout the City. The Pedestrian Safety Assessment was funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), at no cost to the City. It may also increase our eligibility for future OTS Grant funding.
