provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the costs and expenses of
maintaining and operating any public improvements which are local in nature,
from annual benefit assessments apportioned among the lots or parcels of
property within the established Consolidated Maintenance District ("CMD"). The
assessments to be placed on parcels within this district area reflect that portion

the property within this new district reflects that portion of the cost of
maintenance of a public street landscaping and/or public park, based on the
location of said improvements in or near said area, above and beyond the
general benefit of parcels within the City that are not part of the CMD. Each
parcel within this area will be assessed its proportionate share of special benefit
based on the zoning and size of the parcel.
WHEREAS, the property owner has requested the City Council to
include the property within the CMD pursuant to Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the
Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield and the Public Works Director
recommends addition of territory to the CMD; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of
Bakersfield to add this territory to the CMD, said area is generally described in
Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to maintain local improvements including street
landscaping and/or a public park; and

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 2-42
Fiscal Year 2009-2010
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "E" is
generally described as 5801 District Boulevard and as specifically shown on Map and
Assessment Diagram marked Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as though fully set forth, as an area within the City of Bakersfield.
though fully
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of
Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the Public Works Director
makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property
within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other
public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to,
recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage
buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains
and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical
wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and
sidewalks and walkways now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for
said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs,
replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and any and all other items necessary for
the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements
thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public streets median and other public street landscaping
improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition
13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, street median and
other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's
budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping
improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and
operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new
public parks, street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed
within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "E" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance
District for the maintenance of a park and public street median and other street
landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated
Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels
receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in
Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit "C") per
parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living
reflected in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price
p., ;N
EXHIBf'" 1" q",,
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping have been
installed. When park and/or street landscape improvements have been completed, the
appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments
exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above
described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will
be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping are aesthetic enhancement
and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median and street landscaping
will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis
throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached
hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, RAUL M. ROJAS, Director of Public Works of the City of
Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City,
hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D"
and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set
forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory subject to be assessed to pay the
cost of maintenance and operation in said area.
