CONSENT CALENDAR
Resolutions
Item 8h. Resolution of Intention and First Readina of Ordinance to implement Chanaes to the
PERS Contract. This Is a procedural action, required by CalPERS, so that the City can implement
changes to CalPERS Contract 97.39, based on prior Council action and the results of the
November 2, 2010 General Election. On September 22, 2010, the City Council approved the
Pre-Retirement Option 2W Death Benefit for members of the Firefighters and Engineers Unit and
the Fire Supervisory Unit. This benefit allows the spouse or registered domestic partner of a
deceased member who was eligible to retire from service at the time of death to elect to
receive the Pre-Retirement Option 2W Death Benefit, in lieu of the lump sum Basic Death
Benefit. This change was agreed upon in negotiations. In addition, on November 2, 2010,
Measure D was passed which requires all City of Bakersfield sworn public safety employees,
hired after January 1, 2011, to receive a retirement formula of 2% @ 50, based on the average
monthly pay rate during the 36 highest paid consecutive months. CaiPERS requires that the City
adopt a Resolution of Intention to amend the contract and have the first reading of the
Ordinance authorizing the amendment at least 20 days prior to the final adoption of the
Ordinance. The second reading and adoption of the Ordinance is scheduled for the March 9,
2011 City Council meeting.
Agreements
There are two agreements (8m. and 8n.) and one bid item (8o.) related to the Westside
Parkway (TRIP) Project:
Item 8m. Settlement Aareement with multiple parties for acouisition of needed properties. At
the December 15, 2010 meeting, the City Council approved the acquisition of 55 acres located
on the east side of Mohawk and south of Rosedale Highway for the Westside Parkway project.
On this agenda is a similar agreement for the purchase of an additional 57 acres located on
both sides of Truxtun Avenue between Mohawk and the railroad underpass, It will comprise the
eastern terminus of the Westside Parkway. This agreement is with the some multiple parties
Included In the prior purchase, each having a fractional interest, ranging from approximately
35% to less than 1%. The total negotiated purchase price is $4,150,000, representing the fair
market value of the property, and funding Is from State and local transportation funds.
Item 8n. Agreement for purchase of conservation credits due to the loss of habitat for the
Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle. Phase 4 of the Westside Parkway Project adversely impacts
a species of beetle that Is federally listed. In order to construct the project, the City is required
to purchase conservation credits to compensate for the loss of the beetle habitat. This
purchase agreement, for $348,000, is with the Sacramento River Ranch, LLC. They are the
developers of the River Ranch Conservation Bank in Yolo County, which has been approved by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to offer the conservation credits for sale. State and local
transportation funds have been budgeted for these costs. This was the least expensive of the
alternates available to us.
Bids
Item 8o. Accept Bid and Award Contract to MGE Underground, Inc. for the Westside Parkway
Phase 6A Project (Utility Relocation). This project Is the necessary pre-cursor to the construction
of the Allen Road Interchange, which will be Phase 6B. The scope of work for these various
utility relocations includes a series of projects: relocation of waterline and sewer main line,
abandonment of the existing pipelines, constructing a concrete box culvert, realigning a canal
that supplies the adjacent Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District recharge operations, and
realigning an area of Allen Road. The advantages of constructing the Allen Road Interchange
at this stage of the Westside Parkway Project eliminates what would have been some future
"throw away" costs and will allow for less traffic disruption on both the Westside Parkway and
Allen Road when future construction to extend the freeway further west takes place. Six
acceptable bids were received; staff recommends award of the low bid to MGE Underground,
Inc., in the amount of $4,644,222.40. Local transportation funds have been budgeted for this
project.
Item 8p. Accept Bid and Award Contract to Granite Construction Company for a Traffic Signal
and Lighting System at Hosking Avenue and Wible Road. This project includes a complete
traffic signal and lighting system, modification of pavement markings and striping,
reconstruction of access ramps to meet current ADA requirements, and minor roadway
widening. Five bids were received, with two being acceptable. Staff recommends award of
the low bid to Granite Construction in the amount of $240,976.50. This Item also Includes a
request to appropriate $50,000 in Transportation Development Fund balance to the Public
Works Capital Improvement budget to fund other associated costs, Including potential change
orders, In-house inspection services, and soil testing services.
Item Sr. Accept Bid from Jim Burke Ford for 30 Replacement Four Door Police Special Sedans.
This Item Is for the replacement of 30 black and white sedans that have excessive mileage. Due
to the long lead time related to production and delivery of these vehicles, staff is requesting
City Council approval to purchase these replacements before the next budget year. In
addition, ordering the current year model will result In a savings of $150,000, based on the cost
estimate for next year's model. Five bids were received (all acceptable) from a solicitation of
over 200 suppliers. Staff recommends award of the low bid to Jim Burke Ford in the amount of
$675,628.51. This Item also Includes a request for appropriation of $881,630 from the Equipment

MISCELLANEOUS
Item 8t. Appropriation of CalHome Grant Funds for a City-Wide Downpayment Assistance
Proargm. In 2007, the RDA received o $600,000 grant from the State Housing and Community
Development Department (HCD) to provide downpayment assistance to first-time, low income
homebuyers purchasing a home in the Baker Street Village project. However, Baker Street
Village has since been converted to a rental project to be owned by the Housing Authority of
Kern County. HCD has approved an amendment to the grant that would allow the funding to
be used for low Income downpayment assistance in all areas of the incorporated City of
Bakersfield. This action is for the appropriation of the $600,000 grant funding to the Economic
and Community Development Department Operating Budget within the CalHome Program
Fund.
CLOSED SESSION
There will be a conference with legal counsel regarding two matters of existing litigation.

SUBJECT: Approval of department payments from December 30, 2010 to January 20, 2011
in the amount of $20,363,915.40 and Self Insurance payments from December 30,
2010 to January 20, 2011 in the amount of $800,367.74.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of payments totaling $21,164,283.14.
BACKGROUND:
Please note there is a new section of payments toward the end of the attached report
called "e-payables". The Council was first made aware of this new program several
months ago by way of the weekly general information distribution.
E-payables is an electronic payment option now available to our vendors who accept
credit cards. City staff initially identified this payment option as an opportunity to
generate additional revenue for the City's General Fund during last years' budget
process.
Over the past few years vendors have requested on several occasions that the City
allow for payments to be transmitted electronically. Due to budgetary constraints the
Finance Department has been hesitant to pursue this payment option as it would
normally cause increased costs to the City. However, several months ago a new
electronic payment option became available through Bank of America to pay vendors
electronically by way of a credit card type transaction. The program is at no cost to the
City and provides periodic rebate payments to the City based on the volume of
transactions run through the e-payables system.
City staff has been working for several months on the implementation details of this
program and the payments you see on the attached listing are as a result of the initial
January 25, 2011, 8:29AM
SAKim GADMUCOUNCIL-ADMIN-AP-2011 WDMIN-AP 020211.doc
roll-out phase activity. Since there is no check number associated with the payments
these transactions will appear in a separate section of the payment listing report.
The program is completely optional to vendors and there is no requirement for them to
participate in the electronic payment option. Those vendors that elect to participate
benefit by receiving their City payments a couple of days earlier than they would if a
check were mailed to their place of business. The may also benefit from time saved
associated with their internal check processing and bank deposit efforts. The City in turn
benefits from the periodic rebate payment received from our share of the fees charged
by the credit card company.
The initial signup efforts resulted with about 60 of our vendors participating in the program.
A broader solicitation effort will take place over the next couple of months to expand
upon the offer of this new optional payment program to our vendors.

Resolution Approving Transportation Plan for the Evacuation of People with Access

APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HIK15-2k-
CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 2.40 authorizes the Bakersfield Disaster Council to develop
emergency plans. The City Council formally adopted an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) in
November, 1996, a revised Plan in December, 1999, and another updated Plan in September,
2010.
In August, 2008, the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) Office for Access
and Functional Needs published Guidance on Planning and Responding to the Needs of People
with Disabilities and Older Adults. These needs were not addressed by the EOP. To ensure
effective coordination of mass evacuation response for persons with access and functional
needs, it is necessary for this additional specific emergency response to be adopted by Council.
All authorities and assumptions listed in the EOP and the Lake Isabella Dam Failure Operations
Plan are equally applicable and compatible with this Resolution.

County Tax Collector. (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution of Intention.
BACKGROUND: On December 15, 2010, the Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1683
adding the above territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by Section

to the assessment.
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
subdivider(s)/developer(s) to be recorded with the subdivision map.

Amendment No. 7 to Contract 97-39 with the California Publi Em loyees'
Retirement System (CaIPERS).
Resolution of Intention to approve an Amendment to the Contract with the
Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System.
2. First Reading of Ordinance authorizing an Amendment to the Contract
between the City of Bakersfield and the Board of Administration of the California
Public Employees' Retirement System to provide Section 21548 (Pre-Retirement
Option 2W Death Benefit) for local fire members and Section 20475 (Different
Level of Benefits). Section 21362 (2% @ 50 Full Formula) and Section 20037
(Three-Year Final Compensation) for local safety members entering membership
for the first time in the safety classification after the effective date of this
amendment to contract.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution of Intention and First Reading
of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The Resolution of Intention and the accompanying Ordinance authorizing an Amendment to the
Contract between the City and CalPERS represents the procedural steps required by CalPERS in
order for the City to implement changes to the contract that have been brought about by prior
Council action and as a result of the November 2, 2010 General Election.
Council Action: On September 22, 2010, the City Council held an Impasse Hearing on fire labor
negotiations which resulted in the Council approving "Terms and Conditions of Employment" for
members of the Firefighters and Engineers Unit and the Fire Supervisory Unit. Included in the
"Terms and Conditions of Employment" was the implementation of the Pre-Retirement Option 2W
Death Benefit. This benefit allows the spouse or registered domestic partner of a deceased
member, who was eligible to retire from service at the time of death, to elect to receive the Pre-
Retirement Option 2W Death Benefit in lieu of the lump sum Basic Death Benefit. This benefit is a
monthly allowance equal to the amount the member would have received if he/she had retired
January 27, 2011, 9:44AM
S:\Hdmin Rpts\2011TERS contract amnd first red.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
from service on the date of death and elected Option 2W. This change was an agreed upon
item in negotiations and thus was included in the Council's Resolution setting "Terms and
Conditions of Employment. " The impact of this change to the total employer rate is 0.313%.
November. 2, 2010 Election: On November 2, 2010, the voters of the City of Bakersfield approved
Measure D which requires all City of Bakersfield sworn public safety employees, hired after
January 1, 2011, to receive a retirement formula of 2% @ 50 based on the average monthly pay
rate during the 36 highest paid consecutive months. In order for the City to implement these
voter approved changes, the City must go through the CalPERS process to amend the contract.
CaIPERS requires that the City adopt a Resolution of Intention and have first reading of the
Ordinance at least twenty (20) days prior to the final adoption of the Ordinance. To comply with
this requirement the second reading and adoption of the attached Ordinance will be scheduled
for the March 9, 2011 City Council Meeting.
The City's contribution rate will be 24.469% (which represents a reduction from the current FY 11-
12 Employer Contribution Rate of 25.210%) of reportable earnings for local fire members entering
membership for the first time in the fire classification after the effective date of this amendment
to contract. The City's contribution rate will be 30.300% (which represents a reduction from the
current FY 11-12 Employer Contribution Rate is 33.511 of reportable earnings for local police
members entering membership for the first time in the police classification after the effective
date of this amendment to contract.

SUBJECT: Kern River Parkway:
1. Agreement with Norcal Holding and Management to purchase real property
located at 4301 Chester Avenue for $177,600 for the Kern River Parkway.
2. Appropriate $180,000.00 Agricultural Water Fund Balance to the Water Resources
Department Capital Improvement Budget. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
In 1988 the City adopted the Kern River Parkway Plan Element and Environmental Impact Report
(EIR). This property was originally identified in the 1988 Kern River Parkway EIR as a recommended
addition to the overall Parkway plan. Over the years, the City has been acquiring privately
owned properties on a voluntary basis as they become available. Most recently the City
acquired four such properties using Proposition 204 monies. Also, as part of the Westside
Parkway, Phase 4 the City will be acquiring privately owned land that is located within the Kern
River Parkway.
Now using only Agricultural Water Fund monies with no General Fund monies, the City is
proposing to purchase approximately five acres adjacent to the Kern River. The property is
located south of the Kern River, West of Chester Avenue, north of the Armed Forces Recruitment
Center (north of Sam Lynn Park). The property is currently improved with a vacant single family
residence with several outbuildings. The acquisition of this property will allow the City to continue
its efforts to protect the Kern River Basin and integrate into the existing Kern River Parkway.
The purchase price of $177,600 plus estimated closing costs of $2,400 is a product of negotiations
and is less than the appraised value of $205,000. The appraised value was determined by an
appraisal prepared by Jeremy C. Jans of Jeremy C. Jans, Inc., an independent real estate
appraisal firm.
The Planning Department, in accordance with Government Code Section 65402 and City of
Bakersfield Ordinance 4248, found the purchase to be consistent with Metropolitan Bakersfield
General Plan. Also, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment was prepared by the City.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Wilson & Associates (not to exceed $109,200.00) to provide Continuing
Disclosure services for various Special Assessment Districts. (Wards 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The City currently has 20 active Assessment Districts, with a total bonded
indebtedness of $65,185,000, which all require Continuing Disclosure Certificates. The City
has covenanted in its respective Continuing Disclosure Certificate for the benefit of the
Bondholders to provide an annual report containing certain financial information and operating
data relating to each Assessment District and the property within the Assessment District. This
covenant has been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 15c212(b)(5).
City staff does not have expertise in this area of reporting requirements. Wilson & Associates
is the City's current service provider and has agreed to continue to prepare these disclosure
reports for another year with no cost increase to their rate structure.
This agreement will allow us to continue to use an experienced professional consultant to
process these Continuing Disclosure Reports and meet the deadlines imposed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The cost of these services will be charged to the
related Special Assessment Districts.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Kenneth Mebane Ranches to lease real property located north of
Highway 178 and south of Rancheria Road for $1,000 a month for a radio
communications facility.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City is entering into a lease for a police and fire communications facility in northeast
Bakersfield. The lease agreement includes a ten year term with two five year options to extend,
for a total of 20 years. The rent for the first ten years is $1,000 per month, and $1,100 per month for
the first five year extension, and $1,210 per month for the second five year extension. Also, the
City is paying Mebane's legal costs of $5,650 to prepare the lease.
The communication facility has been in place since 1983 and has allowed the City to provide
essential radio communications to a part of northeast Bakersfield not previously served. Approval
of this agreement will allow the City to continue critical public safety radio communications in
the northeast sector of Bakersfield.
The original agreement between the parties was a license agreement and it was by mutual
agreement of the parties that a new lease agreement was needed to reflect the ever increasing
complexities of the communication site leasing environment.

Agreement with The Omega Group to install, customize and provide support for the
Crimeview Crime Analysis Software in the amount of $89,890.00.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the purchase
BACKGROUND: On September 22, 2010, the Council approved the appropriation of $203,793.00
Federal Grant Revenues (Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant from the U.S. Department of
Justice) to the General Fund Police Operating Budget, for crime analysis software.
The current software, Crime Map is not meeting the growing needs of the Police Department. It is
outdated, does not integrate with the City's Geographical Information Systems and other Police systems.
The upgrade to the CrimeView Suite will allow the two Crime analysts to perform higher level analysis
while giving the rest of the Department access to some of the common tasks currently performed by the
analysts. The integration with current City systems allows for more efficient and timely analysis.
The $89,890.00 is the cost of the software, installation, configuration, training, maintenance and sales tax.
Additional server hardware to run the system will be purchased separately at an estimated cost of
$25,000.

The City of Bakersfield has been acquiring properties for the Westside Parkway for over 15 years.
The property currently being acquired consists of several parcels that comprise approximately 57
acres in total. It is located on both sides of Truxtun Avenue between Mohawk Street and the

DMA/s
The purchase price of $4,150,000.00 is a product of negotiations based on appraisals prepared
by Randy K. Merriman, MAI and Michael C. Burger, MAI and represents the fair market value of
the property being acquired.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared for the Westside Parkway alignment by
the URS Corporation and on October 2, 2003, the Bakersfield Planning Commission found the
acquisition of properties necessary for the Westside Parkway consistent with the 2010
Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan.
Funding for the purchase will be a combination of State and local road funds. No General Fund
dollars will be used for this purchase.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Sacramento River Ranch, LLC for the purchase of conservation
credits in the amount of $348,000.00 which is required for the construction of the
Westside Parkway Phase 4 (Truxtun Tie-in) Project. (TRIP) (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Westside Parkway Phase 4 Project adversely impacts the federally listed
Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle's habitat. In order to construct this project, the City is required
to purchase Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle conservation credits for the loss of this habitat. The
United States Fish and Wildlife Service has approved these conservation credits and the
conservation bank they would be acquired from for this project.
The Westside Parkway will ultimately be an eight mile long, east-west freeway extending from
Truxtun Avenue west to Stockdale Highway/Heath Road with interchanges at Mohawk Street,
Coffee Road, Calloway Drive, and Allen Road and bridge crossings at Jewetta Avenue and
Renfro Road.
Staff recommends approval of this agreement in the amount of $348,000.00. Adequate State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and local funds have been previously budgeted to
cover the cost of this agreement.

SUBJECT: Accept low bid and award contract to MGE Underground, Inc., ($4,644,222.40) to
construct the Westside Parkway Phase 6A Project (Utility Relocation) in preparation
for the Phase 6B Project (the Allen Road Interchange). (TRIP) (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and award of contract.
BACKGROUND: The Westside Parkway Phase 6A Utility Relocation Project consists of relocating
approximately 3000 feet of 16-inch waterline and about 2800 feet of 36-inch sewer main line, and
abandonment of the existing pipelines. Also included in this project is the construction of a
concrete box culvert and realignment of a canal that supplies the Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water
Storage District recharge operations. Finally, the project includes the realignment of Allen Road
in the area of the Westside Parkway. All this work is in preparation for the next phase of the
Westside Parkway, Phase 6B which is the Allen Road Interchange.
Originally, the Westside Parkway was planned to end at Allen Road with an at-grade signalized
intersection until funding was available to extend the freeway west in the future. However, when
it was extended, both Allen Road and the Westside Parkway itself would have had to have been
closed temporarily during much of this construction due to conflicts. Building the Allen Road
interchange today not only eliminates some throw-away facilities (traffic signal, temporary box
culvert) and subsequent costs from the currently on-going Westside Parkway Phase 2 project, but
also allows the freeway to now be extended west in the future without affecting traffic on either
Allen Road or the Westside Parkway.
The Westside Parkway will ultimately be an eight mile long, east-west freeway extending from
Truxtun Avenue west to Stockdale Highway/Heath Road with interchanges at Mohawk Street,
Coffee Road, Calloway Drive, and Allen Road and bridge crossings at Jewetta Avenue and
Renfro Road.

BACKGROUND: This project consists of installing a complete traffic signal and lighting system,
modifying pavement markings and striping, and reconstructing access ramps to meet current
American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. This project also includes minor roadway
widening. The Engineer's Estimate for this construction contract was $224,000.

$329,806.34
The City received a total of five bids; however, only two bids were acceptable. The other three
bids were considered non-responsive because they did not meet the criteria for the minimal
amount of work the general contractor shall do with their own forces. Our specifications require
that the general contractor shall do at least 50% of the contract amount with their own forces;
three of the five general contractors failed to meet this requirement.
An additional appropriation of $50,000 is needed to fund this Contract in addition to other costs
associated with this project (potential change orders, in-house inspection services, soil testing
services),

1. Accept bid from Jim Burke Ford, Bakersfield, in the amount of $675,628.51 for thirty
(30) replacement four door police special-sedans;
2. Appropriate $881,630 Equipment Management Fund Balance to the Public Works
Operating Budget within the Equipment Management Fund to purchase and outfit
thirty (30) police special sedans.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of the bid and approval of the related

BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to over two hundred (200) suppliers for providing
police special sedans to be used by the Police Department. Five (5) bids were received in
response to solicitation.
Thirty (30) police special black and white sedans have excessive mileage and are in need of
replacement. Due to the long lead time associated with production and delivery of these
vehicles, we are requesting approval to appropriate funds and purchase replacements
before the next budget year. Additionally, placing an order for current model year vehicles is
expected to save the City over five thousand dollars per vehicle ($5,000 X 30 = $150,000
savings) based on Fleet Services estimate of next model years cost for new police sedans.
Appropriations for light bars and related equipment, $125,000j and police vehicle equipment
setup costs, $81,000, will be appropriated along with the amount necessary to purchase the
thirty (30) vehicles.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $600,000 CalHome Grant Funds to the Economic and Community
Development Department Operating Budget within the CalHome Program Fund for
a City-wide Dowpayment Assistance program for income eligible homebuyers.
(All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval,
BACKGROUND:
In June of 2007, the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency applied for and received a grant in the
amount of $600,000 from the State of California Housing and Community Development
Department (HCD) to provide Downpayment assistance to the Baker Street Village Project. The
grant originally provided first time low-income homebuyers purchasing a home in Baker Street
Village up to $40,000 in downpayment assistance and closing costs. Because of extreme
economic conditions, Baker Street Village was converted to a rental project to be owned and
operated by the Housing Authority of Kern County and no longer requires a home ownership
assistance component.
HCD has approved an amendment to the grant extending the boundaries to provide
downpayment assistance City-wide. The downpayment assistance program shall be offered to
low-income eligible persons and families seeking to purchase a new or resell home within the
incorporated area of the City of Bakersfield. The home ownership assistance will be a deferred
loan (silent second) to provide downpayment assistance and closing costs. The loan term will be
30 years at 0% interest with the balance due in year 30, The grant will terminate on June 28,
2011.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $27,438 Federal Grant Revenue and $7,431 Fund Balance to the Fire
Department operating budget within the Metropolitan Medical Response System
(MMRS) Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
A special fund was established in 2007/08 to account for the Metropolitan Medical Response System
(MMRS) Fund. These grant awards provide funding to further enhance and maintain preparedness for
local response to high-casualty events.
During a reconciliation process related to the MMRS grant funding, it was discovered that not all the
available grant proceeds had been appropriated to the budget when the special fund was originally
established. Approval of the $27,438 appropriation will correct the City records, thereby balancing the
level of appropriations to equal the remaining grant funds. The $7,431 fund balance being appropriated
is related to interest earnings associated with the MMRS grant funds and these interest earnings can
only be used for the same purposes authorized under the terms of the grant.
