AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
May 18, 2011 COUNCIL MEETING
REGULAR MEETING - 5:15 o.m.
WORKSHOPS
There are two workshop items:
• PG&E representatives will provide an update on the SmartMeter Program.
• Department Budget Presentations: The department budget presentations will begin at
the May 18, 2011 Council meeting. The Fire Department and Development Services
Department will provide a detailed overview of their FY 2011/12 proposed budgets. The
Police Department and Public Works Departments will follow later on the agenda, under
Reports.
APPOINTMENTS
There will be one appointment to the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee and one
appointment to the Planning Commission.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Resolutions
Item 8d. Temporary Extension of Vesting Rights for Subdivision Maps. In 2005, the City Council
adopted Resolution 118-05 which clarified that the City would not grant discretionary extensions
of vesting rights for subdivision maps beyond what State law grants. On May 6, 2011, the
Planning and Development Committee, in an effort to spur local economic development and
recovery, approved an action to recommend to the full Council that Resolution 118-05 be
placed in temporary abeyance to allow requests for the extension of subdivision map vesting
rights which expire between the effective date of the resolution, May 18, 2011, and April 30, 12.
Agreements
Item 8j. Time Extension to Agreement with Parsons Transportation Group for TRIP Program
Management Services. Parsons Transportation Group was awarded an initial 5 year, 4 month
contract to manage the TRIP Program on February 22, 2006. Staff was recently informed that in
order to continue to receive federal funding to pay for consultant program management
services, we are required to go through a qualifications selection process again. Because the
RFQ process can not be completed by the expiration date of Parson's current contract (June
30, 2011), staff is requesting a time extension of the current Parson's contract to December 31,
2011. Parsons has been under budget, to date, so adequate funding remains to cover their
work during this requested time extension.
Item 8k. Contract Change Order with Parsam Construction for completion of Proto II Walls at
City in the Hills. On March 9, 2011, the City Council approved a contract with Parsam
Construction to repair defects and complete various sections of a block wall within the City in
the Hills development, because the original installing contractor and developer are no longer in
business. It is a "Proto II" type of wall, which is post tensioned to provide structural strength, as
opposed to a traditional rebar and grout filled wall. When the contract was awarded to
Parsam, the actual cost was unknown, because they had to actually undertake the project to
be able to fully identify the extent of work necessary to complete it. At this point, it has been
determined that the work needed to complete the project is more extensive and labor
intensive than originally anticipated and will exceed the contract amount of $130,000, which
was an estimated amount. $119,586 has been expended so far; however, it is estimated that
an additional $85,000 will be needed, bringing the cost to $215,000. This action is to request the
Council's approval of the additional funding, the source of. which is assessment district
proceeds, not the General Fund.
Bids
Item 8q. Accept bid and approve contract for earthmoving and hauling. This bid solicitation
was sent to over 1,100 contractors; five complete bids were received in response. Staff
recommends award to the low bidder, Gilliam and Sons, Incorporated, in the amount of
$1,440,003. The contract award is for a one year period, and can be renewed for four
consecutive one year periods, at the City's option. The funding source is from a variety 'of
sources, including Water, Sewer, Gas Tax and Transportation Development fees.
CLOSED SESSION
There will be a conference with legal counsel regarding two matters of existing litigation.
HEARINGS
Item 12a. General Plan Amendment. This GPA has been requested by McIntosh Associates,
representing Bidart Bros. for a project site in northwest Bakersfield on the west side of Golden
State Highway (Ward 4), to change the circulation element by deleting the eastern portion of
Etchart Road (future) and the northern portion of Fruitvale Avenue at Golden State Highway
and adding a new collector that connects the two roadways west of the Union Pacific
Railroad. The new collector road connection will improve internal circulation west of the
railroad to Bette accommodate planned development. The Planning. Commission heard this
item on April 7, 2011 has recommended approval to the City Council; no opposition was
received.
REPORTS
As previously referenced, the Police and Public Works Departments will provide a detailed
overview of their FY 2011 /12 proposed budgets.
DEFERRED BUSINESS
Item 14a. This item will include a review of the additional changes to the City Council Goals
that have been proposed by the City Councilmembers.

The owners of the above-mentioned properties failed to commence the required work as
ordered by the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of
the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed above were abated under the
direction of the Chief Code Enforcement Officer. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed
against the property as provided for in Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Property
owners had been given notice of their right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the
City Manager or his designee and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to
remove the public nuisance. The City Manager designee has approved the assessments
associated with the above mentioned properties.
The Council will need to confirm the approval of the City Manager designee of the costs incurred
by the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be
made a lien against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.

Resolution establishing City Council policy regarding the temporary extension of
vesting rights for subdivision maps and placing Resolution No. 118-05 in abeyance.
APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HEAD V4;:-
CITY ATTORNEY V
CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Development Committee recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Under state law, the City has discretion in granting requests for the extension of vesting
rights beyond what is granted by statute in the Subdivision Map Act for subdivision
maps. In 2005, the Planning and Development Committee reviewed the issue of
extension of vesting rights for subdivision maps. At that time, the Planning and
Development Committee agreed with staff that discretionary extensions of vesting
rights should no longer be granted due to the need for consistency and preservation of
development impact fees designed to provide for certain public infrastructure. On
June 8, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 118-05, which clarified that the
City would not grant discretionary extensions of vesting rights for subdivision maps
beyond that granted by state law.
On May 6, 2011, the Planning and Development Committee revisited the subject of
requests for extension of vesting rights due to current negative economic conditions. In
an effort to spur economic development and recovery in the City, the Planning and
Development Committee recommends that the City place Resolution No. 118-05 in
abeyance to temporarily allow for requests for the extension of subdivision map vesting
rights which expire between the effective date of this Resolution, May 18, 2011, and
April 30, 2012.
If this resolution is adopted, it is the intent of the City Council that on May 1, 2012,
Resolution 118-05 returns to full effect if no other action is taken.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention (ROI) No. 1691 to add territory, Area 4-101 (117 N Street) to
the Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily approving, confirming, and
adopting the Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution of Intention
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner(s) of
the parcel 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. This area 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 territory 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 property 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
subdivider(s)/developer(s) to be recorded with the subdivision map. A copy of this covenant is
attached for reference.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 10-177 with Stay Green Incorporated
adding $35,000 (for a total not to exceed amount of $135,000) to the Annual
Contract for tree trimming. (City Wide)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: On December 15, 2010, Council awarded the Annual Contract for tree
trimming to Stay Green Incorporated in the amount of $100,000; renewable annually
thereafter for four (4) consecutive one-year periods.
The past several years of budget cuts has resulted in a reduction of tree trimming
maintenance. At the some time, the trees continued to mature, thus increasing the amount of
trimming needed on each tree, driving up the trimming cost per tree. As a result, the
contractor has used up most of the original award amount and there are still many deferred
maintenance issues to address. In addition, the winter storms damaged several trees, which
required additional tree maintenance and cleanup services that were not anticipated at the
time the contract was originally awarded.
Tree trimming work has been stopped pending approval of this amendment so not to exceed
the amount of the work originally authorized. If approved, Amendment No. 1 will add $35,000
for a revised not to exceed amount of $135,000. Funds of about $35,000 remain available for
tree timming in the Recreation and Parks operating budget within the General Fund. Approval
of the amendment will allow the Recreation and Parks Department to continue the City's tree
trimming maintenance program.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 4 to Agreement 06-053 with Parsons Transportation Group
Corporation, (6-month time extension) for Program Management Services for the
Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) (Various Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment.
BACKGROUND: On February 22, 2006, the City Council awarded a contract to Parsons
Transportation Group to provide program management services for the Thomas Roads
Improvement Program (TRIP). Parsons was selected to manage the TRIP program based on
their experience and qualifications, and staff has been pleased with their performance. The
original Agreement included an initial five-year, four-month time-frame and had a termination
date of June 30, 2011. But it was always anticipated that TRIP would continue past this
termination date, and that the Agreement would need to be amended in the future to
extend beyond June 30, 2011.
Staff recently learned from Caltrans and the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) that in
order to have federal funds continue to pay for consultant program management services,
the City could not simply amend the current Agreement to add funding but would need to re-
advertise for these services. Consequently, staff is preparing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
for the continuation of these services. But this qualifications based selection process cannot
be completed by June 30, 2011, the expiration date of the current contract, and this is why
staff is now requesting that the current contract be extended to December 31, 2011. Work to
date has been performed under budget, and as a result, adequate federal and local funds
remain in the current contract to cover this time extension; therefore no additional funding is
needed for this Amendment.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 1 to Agreement No. 11-020 with Parsam
Construction ($85,000; revised not to exceed $215,000) for completion of
Proto II wall construction within the City in the Hills development (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This project provides for the completion of the Proto II walls installed in various
areas within the City in the Hills development.
A block wall was included in the construction of various streets within the City in the Hills
development. The block wall constructed in this area is a Proto II wall which is post tensioned
to provide the structural strength as opposed to the traditional rebar and grout filled wall.
Design Masonry was hired by Mountain View Bravo, the developer of City in the Hills, to
construct this area of block wall. Before the City could do final inspection and accept this
portion of block wall, both Mountain View Bravo and Design Masonry filed bankruptcy and
went out of business. Subsequently, a section of this block wall failed and fell over.
Investigation by City staff revealed construction on portions of the wall installed along the east
side of Panorama Drive was incomplete per the Proto II wall system design. Further
investigation by City staff revealed that the special inspections, as required for this type of
block wall system, were not performed by the original contractor.
Since both the installing contractor and the developer are no longer in business, on March 9,
2011 a contract to complete the construction of this wall was awarded to Parsam
Construction, a contractor who is certified in the installation of the Proto II wall system. At the
time of award, an actual project cost was unknown since the extent of the necessary work
could not be fully determined until the contractor performed the actual construction work. As
such, the recommended $130,000 not to exceed amount awarded to Parsam Construction
was a rough estimate of total costs based on the investigative work previously done by City
Staff. Construction work commenced on April 6, 2011. Unfortunately, the work needed to
complete the Proto II walls is more extensive and labor intensive than originally anticipated.
Currently we have expended $119,586 of the original contact amount; however, it is
estimated that an additional $85,000 will be needed to complete the construction of the Proto
II walls. This will bring the total construction cost for this project to $215,000 as illustrated below:
• Original Contract Amount = $130,000.00
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $ 85,000.00
Net Increase to date = $215,000.00

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order Nos. 1 through 4 to Agreement No. 10-149 with
Elite Landscaping Inc. ($45,885.41; revised not to exceed $1,710,828.41) for
the Kern River Upland and River restoration Project (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This project provides for restoring approximately 14.5 acres within the Kern
River Parkway to its natural condition and to include public trails and informational kiosks to
provide opportunities to observe and learn about native plants and animals within their
natural habitat.
Contract Change Order No. 1 provides for the following:
1) Additional labor cost incurred due to the need to accelerate the work schedule in
order to meet grant funding deadlines.
2) Additional survey needed to replace survey stakes inadvertently removed during
operation on an adjacent construction operation.
3) Substitution of support brackets necessary to provide proper support for the
informational kiosks being installed on this project. The original brackets were found to
be inadequate for the type of structure being installed.
4) Substitution of soil stabilizer for the decomposed granite trails. This substitution was
found to be necessary when it was discovered that much more than the anticipated
amount of the originally specified soil stabilizer would need to be applied in order to
provide for a properly stabilized surface. This substitution will provide a properly
stabilized surface in a more cost effective manner.
The Contractor has agreed to accept a total of $9,687.42 for performing this additional work.
Contract Change Order No. 2 provides for compensation due to loss of productivity and
repair of equipment damage incurred during trenching operations. During irrigation pipe
trenching operations, the contractor encountered an area where large pieces of concrete
were buried. This unforeseen and unexpected concrete debris damaged the trenching
equipment and required the contractor to remove and dispose of the concrete debris within
the trench area. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum price of $8,416.36 as full
compensation for these items.

Contract Change Order No. 3 provides for installing additional concrete foundation piers for
the public observation decks being installed at each kiosk location. These additional piers
were found to be necessary during an examination of potential loads that may be
encountered from the public's use of these decks. The contractor has agreed to accept a
lump sum price of $7,012.73 for constructing these additional foundation piers.
Contract Change Order No. 4 provides for revising the paths and landscaping being installed
adjacent to Sam Lynn Ballpark. These revisions provide for realignment and extension of the
paths so that they tie in directly to the parking lot. As a result of these changes additional
trees, irrigation, and other landscaping features will need to be added. These changes were
made as a result of meetings and consultation with County Parks to ensure that the new path
alignment will not only enhance access from Sam Lynn Ballpark facility to the new park site but
will also fit into the current and future operational scheme of the Ballpark. The contractor has
agreed to make these revisions for the lump sum price of $20,768.90. Staff has performed a
cost analysis on this change order which is on file.
The net cost increase of Contract Change Orders 1 through 4 is $45,885.41 (which is an
increase of 2.8% of the original contract amount) as illustrated below:
• Original Contract Amount = $1,664,943.00
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $1,710,828.41

project known as LNG/LCNG Fueling Facility S. Mt. Vernon Ave. & E. Planz
Rd. (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This project provides for the construction of a fueling station that dispenses
liquid natural gas (LNG) and liquid compressed natural gas (LCNG). This fueling station is being
constructed on South Mt. Vernon Avenue at East Planz Road.
In order for Fleet Services to properly monitor this fueling station, a communication line will
need to be installed. This communication line will allow for transmission of use data as well as
information needed for proper maintenance and operation of this station. This
communication line will also send out alarms to proper personnel should a malfunction occur.
The contractor has agreed to install this communication line for the lump sum price of
$15,233.56.
The PG&E power point tie-in for the LNG/LCNG station changed from its anticipated location
after project construction had commenced. This new location will require the contractor to
bore under South Mt. Vernon Avenue. The contractor has agreed to perform this additional
work for the lump sum price of $7,800.
This is the first change order to be submitted for this project. This change order will increase the
project total by $23,033.56 (which results in an 1.1 % increase of the original contract amount)
as illustrated below:
• Original Contract Amount = $2,193,628.40

Appropriate $25,000.00 seized asset revenues to the Police Department
Operating Budget within the General Fund, toward the cost of radio equipment for
the BPD Communications Center.
APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HEAD I /
CITY ATTORNEY I,.l
CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the appropriation.
BACKGROUND: The Bakersfield Police Department has made significant progress on the project
to expand and remodel the Communications Center, begun in July 2010. The remodel project
consists of upgrading the existing 9-1-1 call taker computer system, expanding the system from 10
positions to 12, and upgrading the ergonomic furniture workstations. Also, the project includes
minor construction, an upgrade to the radio system and other 9-1-1 system related equipment.
The equipment necessary to process the delivery of 911 calls is funded by the California State
9-1-1 Office. As a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) within the State of California's 9-1-1
network, the Bakersfield Police Department has accrued funds available to replace the customer
premise equipment (CPE), i.e. 9-1-1 system. This opportunity is afforded to the BPD once every 5
years. The available funding comes from the 9-1-1 surcharge placed on every phone bill issued
in the state. The equipment and materials necessary to upgrade the existing radio system and
complete the construction portion of the project will be funded by seized asset forfeiture
revenues.
The existing Motorola Radio Command Console has been in use since 2003. The Motorola
console integrates commands, images and audio for use with our existing two way radio system.
The two way radio system allows our dispatchers to communicate with police officers in the field.
The cost estimate of replacing the entire console with new equipment is $400,000. However,
there is a less costly alternative that will allow the Bakersfield Police Department to preserve the
function of the existing console for approximately three more years. The cost of the components
to enhance and preserve the system is approximately $25,000.00. Therefore, the Bakersfield
Police Departments requests $25,000.00 seized asset revenues to be appropriated to the General
Fund Police Budget to purchase the radio system components.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
The replacement parts listed below will allow the Bakersfield Police Department to utilize the
existing console for approximately three more years:
Radio Controllers: Specialized controller running Motorola software that sends and receives
commands, images and audio from the operator to the two-way radio system through other
associated electronic cards. This machine allows us to continue to run software and operating
systems that came with the original console system. Any changes to these controllers could
require very expensive measures to upgrade many of the electronic components within the radio
system.
Communications Interface Boards: These two items together provide audio to each of the
operator's positions which includes radio traffic to headsets and speakers. We have found that
each board can have problems of their own, but we can repair most. With these cards as
"ready to go" spares, we can provide uninterrupted service to the Communications Center.
Touch screen Computer Monitors: Operator viewing and touch screens. This is the video display
screen at each operator position for the operation of the radio systems.
Burglar Alarm Receiver: Replaces the 20 year old device that receives the burglar alarms from
City locations and facilities like City Hall. This box interprets and displays the incoming coded
signals, so that an operator can understand them.
Computer Operator Interface Module (COIM Card): Specialized Motorola radio system
electronic card. This card serves only one operator position, but interprets and manipulates the
data to and from that operator as necessary to control the radios.

McIntosh & Associates, representing Bidart Bros., a California Corporation, has
requested a general plan amendment to change the Circulation Element
Map, generally located between Etchart Road (future) and Fruitvale Avenue,
west of Golden State Highway.
1. Resolution approving the Negative Declaration and adopting the general
plan amendment of the Circulation Element to delete the eastern portion
of Etchart Road (future) and the northern portion of Fruitvale Avenue at
Golden State Highway, and adding a new collector that connects these
two roadways west of the Union Pacific Railroad.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution approving the Negative Declaration and
approving the proposed general plan amendment to the Circulation Element.
BACKGROUND:
McIntosh and Associates is requesting a general plan amendment to the Circulation Element
to delete two collector segments at the eastern portion of Etchart Road (future) and the
northern portion of Fruitvale Avenue at Golden State Highway, and adding a new collector
that connects these two roadways west of the Union Pacific Railroad.
The project site is located in the northwest Bakersfield area on the west side of Golden State
Highway. Based on a traffic study for the Saco Ranch commercial center and as
recommended by the Traffic Engineer, future rail crossings at Etchart Road and Fruitvale
Avenue are not necessary. Sufficient access to Golden State Highway over the railroad
tracks currently exists less than ~/2 mile south of Etchart Road at Snow Road (an at grade
crossing) and about '/z mile north at Seventh Standard Road (a separated grade crossing).
The new collector road connection will improve internal circulation west of the railroad to
better accommodate planned development. If approved, the roadway changes will also
serve as a public safety benefit by eliminating additional rail grade crossings.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this general plan amendment on
April 7, 2011, and recommended approval to the City Council. No individuals or agencies
present at the hearing opposed the request and the applicant agreed to the final
conditions and mitigation approved for the project.
The CEQA requirements have been followed by staff and the Planning Commission for the
project. Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not
have a significant impact on the environment. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA, a
Negative Declaration was prepared. Mitigation measures recommended as part of project
approval address air quality, biological resources and cultural resources.

City Council Goals Update - Phase 3 (continued)
Review of City Councilmembers' Proposed Revisions
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council determination regarding the proposed updates
and adoption of the City Council goals.
BACKGROUND:
At the April 13, 2011 City Council meeting, staff presented a summary of the Goals updates
proposed by the Councilmembers. The only change requested at that time was a minor
verbage addition under Goal #2, 2.1, Item #2 (adding "and older streets").
Following the April 13, 2011 City Council meeting, Councilmember Johnson requested that staff
make proposed revisions to Goal #5: Strengthen and Diversify our Economic Base", with the
intention of broadening the economic development goals and targeted actions to be more
proactive. In consultation with Councilmember Johnson, staff has incorporated the requested
revisions into the updated version of the City Council Goals included with this report.
Therefore, two versions of the Goals document are attached for the Council's reference:
• The Goals document, including all the proposed changes, to date, in a format showing
additions, deletions, and background notations (notations are in the shaded right margin)
• The Goals document, including all the proposed updates, to date, in a format without the
mark ups or notations;
Also attached is a report, requested by Councilmember Johnson, pertaining to Goal #1
("Provide Quality Public Safety Services"), as to the feasibility of attaining the goal of 1.3 police

The City Council Goals provide policy guidance to staff for budgetary and program
implementation. The Council may choose to further update the goals or make additional
modifications, as desired, prior to adoption.
