CONSENT' CALENDAR
Agreements
Item 81. Amendment to Agreement with Psomas for SR 178/Mornina Drive Interchange
Project Design Services in the amount of $308,470.90, not to exceed $1,609,478.90. This
TRIP project will extend SR 178 east from Morning Drive about a mile to the Mesa Mann
Sports Complex. In 2007, Psomas was awarded the contract for preliminary engineering
and preparation of the Environmental Document. The initial studies and design that
had previously been done by CalTrans called for the relocation of a major gas pipeline
just north of the segment. However, as TRIP staff, CalTrans, and Psomas have
advanced in the preliminary design work, it has been determined that the roadway
could be modifled, not requiring the pipeline location, for a project savings of $6 to $7
million dollars. The original schedule and scope of work did not provide for Psomas to
do the unanticipated re-engineering of the road. This proposed amendment covers
the additional expenses and time needed to perform that work.
Item 8o. Accel2t Bid and Award Contract to Granite Construction in the amount of
$1,478,336 for Pavement Rehabilitation of Coffee Road from Friant Kern Canal to
Riverlakes Drive/Meant' Avenue and Coffee Road from Olive Drive to Norris Road (this
later segment will be northbound only,). This project Is 100% federally funded through
the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and will consist of
pavement reconstruction, access ramps, modifying curb and gutter, striping, pavement
marking and traffic signal loops. Four bids were received; all were acceptable, with
Granite Construction being the lowest.
Miscellaneous
Item 8o. Appropriation of Funding for the Rosedale Highway Widening Project Design
Phase. This Is a TRIP project that will widen Rosedale Highway from four to six lanes
between Highway 99 and Allen Road. The City previously received CalTrans
authorization to proceed on the environmental phase and now has authorization to
move forward with the design phase. This action is to request City Council approval to
appropriate Federal Grant revenues, as follows: $1,327,950 SAFETEA-LU and $2,612,348
IS-TEA to the Public Works capital Improvement budget within the TRIP Special Revenue
Fund. An additional $825,050 appropriation of Traffic Development Fund balance is
also requested for the required local match to the SAFETEA-LU and IS-TEA Federal
funding.
CLOSED SESSION
There will be a conference with Legal Counsel regarding three (3) cases of existing
litigation and a conference with the Labor Negotiator.
HEARINGS
Item 12b. Impasse Hearina for Police Labor Neaotiations Pursuant to Bakersfield
Municipal Code 2.76.130. Negotiations with the Bakersfield Police Officers Association
for a new Memorandum of Understanding began in August, 2007 and continued
through the first quarter of 2009. The City presented a "Last, Best and Final Offer" to the
BPOA in November, 2008; the BPOA then presented its "Last, Best and Final Offer" to the
City in January, 2009, which was rejected by the City in February, 2009. Mediation was
then attempted, but unsuccessful. Because of the City's deteriorating financial
conditions, the City is unable to renew its "Last, Best, and Final Offer". Pursuant to the
Municipal Code regarding the Resolution of Impasses, and per the direction of the Kern
County Superior Court in a ruling ordered in February, 2010, this Public Hearing will be
held for the City Council to Issue a determination on the merits of the Impasse in
negotiations.

SUBJECT: Adoption of ordinances amending the text of:
1. Title 16 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code (Subdivision Ordinance) Chapter 16.28
Design Standards, to incorporate specific design criteria for new development in
Northeast Bakersfield.
2. Title 17 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) Chapters 17.08 General
Regulations, 17.25 Central Business Zone, 17.26 Commercial Center Zone, 17.61

specific design criteria for new development in Northeast Bakersfield.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinances.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the Ordinances was given on March 24, 2010.
Since June 24, 2009, the City Council's Planning and Development Committee has been working to
implement a Northeast Bakersfield Community Concept in order to achieve the following vision for
Northeast Bakersfield:
Preserve and enhance the unique aspects of the northeast experience through the
development of a healthy, sustainable community complementary of the area's resources
and identifiable through theme architecture and landscaping.
The outcome of research and public outreach resulted in proposed ordinance changes regarding three
main concepts for new development in Northeast Bakersfield, which were identified as: architectural
design for commercial projects, landscaping, and outdoor lighting (dark sky principles).

KShea/S.IDanaI4DM/NS120101ApriA4-7-Title 16 17 2.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
On February 18, 2010, the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on this request to
amend the text of the Subdivision Ordinance (Title 16) and the Zoning Ordinance (Title 17) to incorporate
specific design criteria for new development in Northeast Bakersfield as summarized below. Northeast
Bakersfield is considered the geographic area that includes all lands in the city limits east of Fairfax Road
(and any northern extension thereof) and north of the Union Pacific Railroad that parallels Edison Hwy.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT SUMMARY:
Subdivision Walls (Section 16.28.170)
• Adds text in order to provide Planning Commission authority to approve alternative wall and
landscape designs due to topographic and other physical conditions.
• Added text is consistent with the existing ordinance language for walls and landscaping along
double-frontage residential lots.
Architectural Design (Section 17.08.140)
• Applies to all new commercial and industrial developments.
• River rock, boulders, rough-sawn timbers and logs would be predominant theme used throughout
a project.
• Allows flexibility in design so that projects will not be identical.
Landscaping (Sections 17.61.032.17.25.050.17.26.0501
• Predominant use of native California trees (i.e. Oaks, sycamores).
• Use of boulder clusters and other native rocks.
• Landscape setting to resemble a more natural environment.
• Use of low water and/or xeriscape plants.
• Materials are consistent with hillside ordinance zoning requirements.
• Standards would also apply to public streetscapes for compatibility with private development.
Outdoor Lighting - Dark Sky Principles (new Chapter 17.71)
• Applies to commercial, industrial, and apartment projects (single-family residential is exempt).
• Affects installations of new lighting only.
• Lighting must be shielded in order to eliminate light projections up into the nighttime sky.
• Design of outdoor recreation lighting (sports fields) must lessen sky glow.
• Encourages energy conservation.
• Includes diagrams depicting acceptable versus unacceptable fixtures.
• Prohibits lighting into the Kern River and other natural areas.
March 23, 2010, 9:15AM
KShea/S.IDanaI4DMINS1201014priII4-7-Title 16_17 2.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
These changes, if approved by City Council, will trigger amendments to the Planning Commission's
adopted Wall and Landscaping Design Policy for residential subdivisions in order to achieve consistency
with the new ordinance requirements. Those amendments will be presented to the Planning Commission
if the City Council approves the ordinances changes described above.
These recommendations will implement design features that will compliment the unique aspects of
Northeast Bakersfield's topography and terrain. Incorporating the natural environmental features into the
aesthetic themes of new development will enhance Northeast Bakersfield, and achieve the stated vision.
No one spoke in opposition to the project at the Planning Commission hearing, although minor changes
to the proposed text were presented by the Planning Director and approved by the Commission as
follows: (1) moved the boundary of Northeast Bakersfield from State Highway 58 to the Union Pacific
Railroad; (2) removed the maximum parapet heights (17.08.140 C.5.) to allow better screening of rooftop
equipment; and (3) clarified Section 17.71.040 B.1.(Outdoor Lighting) to ensure outdoor sports lighting is
not excessively bright for the intended activities.
This project has been found to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City of Bakersfield's CEQA Implementation Procedures. Under the general rule of
CEQA in accordance with Section 15061 (b) (3), it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that adoption of the proposed ordinance will have a significant affect on the environment.
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinances.

SUBJECT: Purchase of Motorola Radio Equipment.
1. Resolution determining that Motorola radio equipment cannot be obtained
through the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director to

2. Accept Federal grant for $162,500 FY 2009 Assistance to Firefighters for the
purchase of radio equipment.
3. Approve the purchase of 52 replacement portable radios and related
equipment from Motorola Communications, Inc. not to exceed $162,500.
4. Appropriate $130,000 Federal Grant Revenue to the MMRS Fund and $32,500
Equipment Management Fund Balance to the Public Works Department's
Operating Budget to fund local match of purchase of radios.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND: The Bakersfield Fire Department received an FY 2009 Assistance to Firefighters Grant
from FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $162,500. The approved
project totals $162,500. The Federal share is 80%, or $130,000, and the local match is 20%, or $32.500.
Portable radios are frequently subjected to water intrusion at a fire scene. The proposed yellow
cased portable radios are waterproof to 6 feet for a limited time and are highly visible for easy
retrieval if dropped at a fire scene. Further, these also meet, or can easily be upgraded to meet all
of the latest Federal mandates of narrow banding and are P25 compliant, an interoperability item as
suggested by Homeland Security. The City's radio systems are exclusively Motorola, which utilizes
certain proprietary tones and codes for access through various parts of the radio systems already in
place.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution, acceptance of the grant and appropriations
necessary to complete the purchase of portable radios for the Fire Department.

SUBJECT: Resolution approving application for grant funds for the Sustainable Communities Planning
Grant and Incentives Program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution Approving the Application for Grant Funds
BACKGROUND:
The Development Services Department - Planning Division is applying for a Sustainable Communities
Planning Grant offered by the Strategic Growth Council of the State of California, in order to prepare a
Climate Change Action Plan as part of the General Plan update. The grant application request requires
support by the elected body.
The objective of the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) is to serve as a guiding document and provide
support for local plans and polices that will implement AB 32 and SB 375 related to green house gas
(GHG) emission reduction targets. The CCAP will help guide the development of new land use and
community development policies for the 2010 update of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan that
help to reduce GHG emissions from urban development. The CCAP will include an energy efficiency and
conservation strategy for long-term land use planning; a GHG emissions inventory and baseline for current
GHG emissions generated in the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan area that describe GHG
emissions sources from stationary and mobile sources; and identify how the City will measure the impacts
of GHG emissions as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City is asking for
$100,000 in order to prepare the Climate Change Action Plan. No funding match is required by the City
since technical expertise and resources will be provided by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control
District and the County of Kern.
This grant program implements the vision of the State to foster the development of sustainable
communities throughout California. It is designed to help local governments meet the challenges of
adopting land use plans and integrating strategies in order to transform communities and create long term
prosperity. The Sustainable Communities Planning Grant is funded by Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking
Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006. The Act
gave authorization to the Legislature to appropriate $90 million for planning grants and planning incentives
that reduce energy consumption, conserve water, improve air and water quality, and provide other
community benefits.

SUBJECT: Resolution in Support of the General Aviation Industry and OpposinTegCislation and
Policies that Impede General Legislation
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The California State Legislature is considering Assembly Joint Resolution 33 (AJR33) in support of
general aviation. The resolution requests that the Congress and President of the United States
recognize that general aviation plays in the economy, health, safety, and protection of the
nation, and to abstain from legislation and policies that impact the industry's ability to continue
to function effectively.
The City Council is requested to approve a similar resolution, which includes the following key
points in support of general aviation and in opposition of legislation and policies that negatively
affect the industry:
• General aviation in this country supports more than 1.2 million jobs, many of which are in
small and medium sized businesses, and generates $150 billion in economic activity;
• There are 5,200 general aviation airports in the United States located near businesses and
communities that are driving the nation's economic recovery;
• General aircraft are used around-the-clock by law enforcement, medical, and disaster

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention #1658 calling a public hearing to amend Resolution No. 133-07
modifying the completion date of Underground Utility District No. 2, Division 31 (Sports
Village) - (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted Resolution No. 133-07(1) on August 20, 2008, modifying the
boundaries of Underground Utility District No. 2, Division 31. The City now desires to change the
completion date as established by Resolution 133-07(1).
This resolution calling for a public hearing to amend the previously adopted resolution is necessary in
order to comply with the City Municipal Code and PG&E Rule 20A regulations regarding underground
utility districts. Should the amendment to District 2, Division 31, modifying the completion date be
adopted, it will require that all affected utility companies remove the overhead lines within the development
area of the Sports Village and place them underground by June 31, 2011. The district generally consists
of two parcels, one on Gosford Road and the other on Ashe Road. Both are located north of Taft Highway
and are approximately 1710' and 3090' in length, respectively.
This Resolution sets the date of April 21,2010 for the protest hearing.

SUBJECT: Resolutions of Intention (ROI) to add territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District and
preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving the Public Works Director's Reports:
1. ROI No. 1661 to add territory, Area 3-81 (2800 Panama Lane). (Ward 7)
2. ROI No. 1662 to add territory, Area 2-43 (3220 Ming Avenue). (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolutions of Intention.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner(s) of the
parcels to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by section 13.04.021 of the
Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of a
public park and street landscaping. These areas will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit
and will be assigned appropriate tier levels when a park has been constructed and street landscaping has
been installed.
Staff is recommending the new territories be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next
City Council meeting.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner(s) of the properties described above which
waives the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the
City to expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The owner(s) also
have submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating their consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the
Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a
covenant has been drafted and will be supplied to the subdividers)/developer(s) to be recorded with the
subdivision map. A copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Brown Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck Thornburgh & Keeter
($59,910) for a full scope annual audit of the 2009-10 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In February 2007, inquires were sent to approximately 28 local CPA firms and 9 outside firms, with four
firms expressing an interest in the City Audit. Requests for Proposals were sent to the interested audit
firms. Three firms submitted proposals which were reviewed by the Finance department. One firm did not
submit their sealed dollar cost bid based on the requirement in the RFP and were excluded from
consideration. The two qualified proposals were sent to the Budget and Finance Committee. The Budget
and Finance Committee reviewed the proposals on April 30, 2007. The Budget and Finance committee
recommended the selection of Brown Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck Thornburgh & Keeter to
perform the annual audit work for the 2006-07 fiscal year ($60,400), with the option of up to four (4) one
year extensions.
The Request for Proposal issued in February 2007 contemplated a five year commitment with the selected
firm, with the 2006-07 fiscal year being year 1 of 5. A cost of living factor is built into the contract so that
future year costs do not exceed Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation measures, assuming no change in
the scope of the audit and assuming no significant change in the audit workload as a result of
Governmental Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) actions that might take place in the future. Brown
Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck Thornburgh & Keeter was agreeable to this additional contract
language. The agreement referenced above is related to the audit for year 4 of 5. The net difference in
cost from year 3 to year 4 represents a 1.8% increase (based on the January 2009 CPI index) and a
decrease in cost due to no activity in the Public Financing Authority for the audit year 2009-10.

SUBJECT: Auburn Street Realignment Project (Ward 3):
1. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 09-004 with Canyon Hills Assembly of God
Church (reimbursement amount not to exceed $40,789.00) for the property
associated with the realignment of Auburn Street.
2. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 09-005 with Canyon Hills Assembly of God
Church (time extension only) for the Installation of landscape and Irrigation
system in the medians of the realigned Auburn Street.
3. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 09-006 with Canyon Hills Assembly of God
Church (increase landscape area only) to include an additional area of
landscape and irrigation north of the realigned Auburn Street to be
maintained by Canyon Hills.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendments,
BACKGROUND: In preparation of the City's upcoming Morning Drive Interchange Project, the
Intersection of Auburn Street and Morning Drive was relocated to the north to meet freeway off-
ramp spacing requirements. To accommodate this intersection relocation, Auburn Street was
realigned by the City through the Canyon Hills property (to the west of Morning Drive). To
facilitate this realignment, Canyon Hills and the City entered Into several agreements.
The first agreement dealt with the exchange of property. The property area needed for the new
alignment exceeded the area of the original alignment. This additional area was appraised; but
in-lieu of paying for this additional area, the City provided Canyon Hills a credit that Canyon Hills
wanted to use towards enhancements they desired for the realigned roadway. These
enhancements included median curbing (not standard In a City collector street), a lighted cross
walk (similar to that installed at the Bakersfield Homeless Center) and enhanced crosswalk
pavement,
The City Included these Items in the realignment project, But during construction, it was
determined that a separate, dedicated power source was necessary for the lighted cross walk.
PG&E estimated the cost to be as much as $25,000 to provide this power source, This exceeded
the amount available to Canyon Hills for the road enhancements; so Canyon Hills requested the
lighted cross walk be removed from the construction work. The City now needs to pay Canyon

Hills for the cost of the additional road right of way that was not used towards the roadway
enhancements.
The second agreement dealt with landscape installation within the median island. Upon
completion of the road project, Canyon Hills requested that they be allowed to install
landscaping and irrigation systems within the median islands. The City gave Canyon Hills four
months to complete the landscape and irrigation work in the medians once the road project
was completed; however, there were some delays with Canyon Hills getting their plans approved
by Parks and Public Works Departments (but which are now approved), and so they have
requested to have until September 2010 to complete this work.
The final agreement dealt with the maintenance of the landscaping within the street right of
way. In-lieu of fencing or other types of screening, City staff and Canyon Hills have agreed to
expand the landscape areas that are to be maintained by Canyon Hills to include an area along
the north side of Auburn Street near Morning Drive. This area will be landscaped to enhance
screening to residences to the north of the realigned Auburn Street.
Staff recommends approval of these amendments, Adequate funds have been previously
budgeted to cover this work.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 07-223 with Psomas, ($308,470.90; for a not to
exceed total of $1,609,478.90) for Engineering Design Services for the SR-178 and
Morning Drive Interchange Project. (TRIP) (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment.
BACKGROUND: The SR-178 and Morning Drive Interchange Project is part of the Thomas Roads
Improvement Program (TRIP). On July 18, 2007, a contract was executed with Psomas to
provide preliminary engineering and prepare the Environmental Document for the SR-178 and
Morning Drive Interchange Project.
As part of the interchange project, the freeway for SR 178 will be extended east from Morning
Drive about a mile to the Mesa Morin sports complex the City Is currently reconstructing. The
initial preliminary studies and design work for this interchange was completed by Caltrans a
few years ago. Their original project design would have required a major gas pipeline that is
located just to the north of this segment of SR 178 to be relocated. As TRIP staff, Caltrans and
Psomas continued to advance and refine the preliminary project design, it was determined
that the grade of the SR 178 roadway in this area could be modified so that the relocation of
this pipeline would not be needed. Not relocating this pipeline will save the project $6 to $7
million. However, the original schedule and scope of work anticipated by Psomas did not
include their design effort necessary to re-engineer this road, nor the coordination necessary
with Caltrans to obtain their approval of this change. This proposed amendment covers both
the cost for this change, and the time necessary to accomplish Its approval.
The Draft Environmental document for this project is currently anticipated to be circulated to
the public and other State/Federal agencies in summer 2010. The subsequent time-frame to
then obtain final environmental clearance for the project Is dependent upon the approval of
this document by these various State and Federal agencies. Based on past history, the on-
going coordination with these agencies and input from Caltrans, staff is anticipating that final
approval should occur by late 2010.

Rehabilitation 2009 Phase 5 - Coffee Road from Friant Kern Canal to Riverlakes
Drive/Meany Avenue; Coffee Road from Olive Drive to Norris Road (Northbound Only)
(Wards 2, 3 and 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and award of contract.
BACKGROUND: This project consists of reconstructing the existing pavement structural section,
construction of access ramps, modifying curb and gutter, striping, pavement markings and traffic signal
detector loops. This project is 100% federally funded through the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The Engineer's Estimate for the construction contract for this project
is $1,610,000. There are sufficient funds to award this project.
On March 10, 2010, a total of four bids were received; all of those bids are acceptable. Those
acceptable bids are as follows:
Granite Construction Company
585 W. Beach Street
Watsonville, CA 95076 in the amount of $1,478,336.00
Griffith Company
1128 Carrier Parkway Avenue

John Madonna Construction
12165 Los Osos Valley Road
San Luis Obispo, Ca 93401 in the amount of $2,019,999.99
In July 2009, Caltrans adopted new "Race Conscious" requirements for federally funded projects, which
also apply to this ARRA funded project. A formula provided by the State of California was used to
calculate the required percentage of 11% for Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
(UDBE) to be used as subcontractors on this contract. The City held a mandatory pre-bid meeting for
all of the preapproved contractors allowed to bid on this project. During that meeting, the importance of
putting forth a good faith effort to meet the predetermined goal by soliciting UDBE's was emphasized to

each contractor in attendance. It was also stressed to the contractors that they need to provide to the
City appropriate documentation indicating such good faith efforts were performed allowing each UDBE
sufficient time to respond to the solicitations. Each contractor on the preapproved bidders list was
required to attend said meeting in order to bid on this project; if they did not attend the mandatory pre-
bid meeting, they forfeited their chance to bid this project.
The low bidder, Granite Construction, submitted documentation supporting that they met the UDBE
goal. Their bid was, therefore, deemed acceptable.

2. Appropriate $32,212 Federal Grant Revenue to the Fire Department Operating
Budget within the MMRS Fund
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2009 Federal MMRS Grant for the City of Bakersfield is administered by the Governor's
Office of Homeland Security (OHS) with the funding passing through the County of Kern's
Operational Area. The performance period is from September 30, 2009 through April 30, 2012.
These grant awards provide major funding to further enhance and maintain preparedness for
local response to high-casualty events.
There are three parts to this grant award. The planning section contains $160,000 for the
Bakersfield Fire Department's Administrative Battalion Chief. That appropriation is not needed
because it is already in the Fire Department's operating budget. There is $129,009 in the
equipment section which includes $74,000 for portable radios/mobile repeaters and $55,000 in
search/rescue equipment. This will not be appropriated because Kern County will do the
purchasing of this equipment. The City will receive this equipment and place it into service. The
training section contains $32,212 for paramedic training and continuing education.

SUBJECT: Budget Appropriation for Rosedale Hwy Widening Design Phase (TRIP) (Ward 2 & 4)
1. Appropriate $1,327,950 Federal Grant revenue (Safetea-Lu NCIIP) to the Public
Works capital improvement budget within the TRIP special revenue fund.
2. Appropriate $2,612,348 Federal Grant revenue (IS-TEA) to the Public Works
capital improvement budget within the TRIP special revenue fund.
3. Appropriate $825,050 Traffic Development Fund balance for local match to the
TRIP project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriations.
BACKGROUND: The TRIP Rosedale Hwy Widening project will widen Rosedale Hwy from four to six
lanes between Hwy 99 and Allen Road. On February 27, 2006, the City received authorization to
proceed (E-76) from Caltrans on the environmental phase of the project. The City has received
two additional E-76's to proceed with the design phase of the project.
On April 2nd 2009, the House of Representatives sent a memo identifying $2.6 million of Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (IS-TEA) funds available for SR 58 Operation Improvements.
These funds can be used on the TRIP Rosedale Hwy Widening project. At the time the City
requested KernCOG to modify the 2009 FTIP to add these funds for the City to use, and to submit
a request to Caltrans to authorize the use of these funds for preliminary engineering. The City
obtained that authorization on February 27, 2010. At this time, City staff would like to appropriate
these funds to the Public Works capital improvement budget within TRIP. Additionally, IS-TEA
money has a cost split of 80% Federal and 20% Local. Therefore, an additional $653,000 would
need to be appropriated from the TDF TRIP local match fund to the Rosedale Hwy Widening
project.
Concurrently, City staff requested an additional $1.5 million of Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) funds be authorized to
provide enough funds to complete the preliminary engineering work for the Rosedale Hwy
Widening project. City staff would like to appropriate these funds to the Public Works capital
improvement budget within TRIP. Additionally, SAFETEA-LU money has a cost split of 88.53%
Federal and 11.47% Local. Therefore, an additional $172,050 would need to be appropriated
from the TDF TRIP local match fund to the Rosedale Hwy Widening Project.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield has received a request to vacate that portion of a 10'
wide Public Utilities Easement recorded in Book 3375, Pages 657-659, that lies within Parcel A of
Parcel Merger 07-0797, containing 930 square feet, located at 2935 Oswell Street, Utilities
within this easement have been relocated to different locations and therefore this easement is

Departments have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of the
date of this report, Public Works notes that there are no.., City sewer and storm drain facilities in
the vacating area.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. There has been no objection
as of the date of this report.
Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 foot radius of
the proposed vacating area. Public Works has received no objections from these owners as of
the date of this report.
The proposed vacation was approved by the Planning Department on February 24, 2010 per
local ordinance and was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General
Plan pursuant to Government Code 65402,
It was determined that this action is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of CEQA guidelines (general rule),

SUBJECT: Impasse Hearing for Police Labor Negotiations Pursuant to BMC 2.76.13 .
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council remove and reject all labor negotiating offers and demands between
the City and the Bakersfield Police Bargaining Unit.
BACKGROUND:
Negotiations with the Bakersfield Police Officers Association (BPOA) for a new Memorandum of
Understanding began in August of 2007. Negotiations continued through the first quarter of 2009.
In November of 2008, the City made a proposal characterized as a "Last Best & Final Offer" to
BPOA, and BPOA rejected it. In January of 2009, BPOA presented a proposal it designated as its
"Last Best & Final Offer" to the City. On February 25, 2009, the City rejected BPOA's "Last Best &
Final Offer." Mediation was tried and was unsuccessful. As a result of deteriorating financial
conditions (described below in detail), the City is no longer in a position to renew its "Last Best &
Final Offer."
Pursuant to Section 2.76.130 (Resolution of Impasses) of the Municipal Code, and pursuant to the
direction of the Kern County Superior Court, in a ruling issued January 29, 2010 and ordered
February 19, 2010 (a copy of which is attached) the City Council will conduct a hearing on the
merits of the apparent impasse in negotiations and thereafter issue a determination as set forth in
Section 2.76.130 of the Municipal Code.
Overview of Deteriorating Financial Conditions:
The City has been dealing with the results of a poor national, state, and local economy for the
past several years. Sales tax revenues have been in decline for the past three years, with
significant declines in 12 of the past 13 quarters, as compared to the same quarter of the prior
year. Property tax revenues have also declined 10% from the previous year due to reduced
property values. Beyond sales and property tax revenue declines, the City has been impacted
by severe reductions in permit and inspection revenues as well as declines in Transient
Occupancy Tax revenues (see attached graphs).

To make matters worse, as the City struggled to deal with this new reality, the State of California
captured just over $6.7 million in property tax revenues from the City and an additional $2.7
million in Redevelopment Agency funds to help deal with the State's budget shortfalls. On top of
this, the City was recently informed by the California Public Employees' Retirement System that
the City's costs will increase by $7.5 million over a three-year period beginning in FY 2011-12 (see
attached letter). This increase is due to the significant investment losses realized by CalPERS as a
result of the sluggish economy.
While all of the above mentioned issues have adversely impacted the City's financial wellbeing,
we continue to brace ourselves for pending future State action, as the State continues to avoid
dealing with a $20-plus billion structural budget deficit. The potential capture of Gas Tax
revenues and other "creative" maneuvers by the State have the potential to deal a further blow
to our already tenuous budget situation. Due to these circumstances the Council made multiple
mid-year budget adjustments on January 27, 2010 and also passed a Resolution Declaring a
State of Severe Fiscal hardship on February 17, 2010 (copies of both are attached).
Budaet Impacts to Date:
Below is a summary of the budget impacts that have occurred to date:
• 161 positions already eliminated;
• 36-50 additional positions slated for elimination in FY 2010-11 budget (this is approaching
15% of the General Fund)
-1 Department Head
-2 Assistant Department Heads
-Division Manager of Human Resources
-Deputy City Clerk;
• 35-70% of the Street Resurfacing Program;
• Very limited capital projects;
• Elimination of most travel, training, overtime and promotions, and
• Extension of the use of all equipment - vehicles, computers and phone system;
• Support for cultural activities
-Beale Band Concert
-Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra;
• Poorer quality of services
-Longer wait times for all City services
-Less depth in staffing levels;
• Pay increases; and
• Balances in nearly all accounts reduced.
For your reference, staff has attached to this Administrative Report several documents to provide
greater detail of the items discussed above:
1. February 19, 2010 Kern County Superior Court Ruling;
2. Several graphs illustrating various revenue declines;
3. January 27, 2010 mid-year budget adjustments;
4. February 17, 2010 Resolution of Severe Fiscal Hardship;
5. Memo and letter from CalPERS regarding rate increases.
