ADJOURNMENT 8/10/11 12:30am Respectfully submitted, qxo',� Alan Tandy b City Manager 6 City Council Meeting of 08/17/2011 AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS August 17, 2011 COUNCIL MEETING item 8d. Adoption of an Ordinance amending the Municipal Code relating to alarm regulations. In 2009, the Police Department began a comprehensive review of the alarm system regulations in the City, largely due to the high volume of false alarm responses on an annual basis. Following multiple meetings with industry representatives and the Legislative and Litigation Committee, recommended changes to the City's Alarm Regulations are being forwarded to the Council. The revised code section provides clear and comprehensive regulations related to alarm systems, including identifying the duties and responsibilities of alarm users and installers as well as revising false alarm allowances and penalties. The first reading of this item was on the July 13, 2011 Council agenda. Item 8f. First Reading of an Ordinance to permit the continued existence and operation of the Bakersfield Redevelopment Aaencv. On July 13, 2011, the City Council approved a resolution stating the City intention's to comply with the newly enacted State legislation that will eliminate redevelopment agencies, unless they make required payments to special school funds. As the next step, a continuation ordinance must be adopted by November 1, 2011. The estimated amount the Agency will have to pay is $3,777,822 in FY 2011/12 and $888,889 for FY 2012/13. By FY 2013/14, after making the required annual payments, the Agency should receive approximately $2 million to continue to fund redevelopment. In response to the State actions, the City has filed an appeal to reduce the FY 2011/12 payment; in addition, the League of California Cities and the California Redevelopment Agency filed a lawsuit challenging the State legislation. With regard to the later, the State Supreme Court issued a partial Stay on August 11, 2011, which means that redevelopment agencies will not have to dissolve by October 1, 2011 or make the State mandated payments, pending the legal outcome. However, the Court kept in place the legislation that freezes any new redevelopment programs. A final ruling is to be issued by mid - January, 2012. While the Court's recent action is reason for some optimism, staff recommends that the City proceed with the proposed ordinance, given the uncertainty of the final legal decision. Item 8u. Agreement for Engineering Design Services for the SR -178 /Morning Drive Interchange TRIP Prgiect. The next major TRIP project on the east side of Bakersfield is the construction of an interchange at SR -178 and Morning Drive, and widening the freeway to 4 lanes for about 1.5 miles from west of Morning Drive to the future Vineland Road. It will include the addition of auxiliary lanes between the Fairfax Road and Morning Drive on and off ramps. Of the 7 firms that responded to the RFP, a selection committee reviewed their proposals and invited 3 firms for subsequent interviews. Based on the rankings of the proposals and interviews, T.Y. Lin International was selected, and the contract cost of $3,550,000.00 was negotiated by the Public Works TRIP staff, in accordance with federal procurement procedures. When CalTrans issues approval of the Final Environmental Document, which is expected soon, TY Lin will be given authorization to start their work. 0 Items 89g. through 8mm. There are 7 items on the Council agenda to replace various pieces of equipment needed for Recreation and Parks and Public Works operations. These requests reflect the approvals granted in the FY 2011/12 budget and will begin restoring some degree of normalcy to our equipment replacement process. Item 8pp. Constriction Contract for the Mill Creek Sister City Gardens - Phase A. This project will consist of new landscaping and related improvements along the Mill Creek Linear Park walking path, at the southeast corner where the path intersects with 18th Street. The landscaping will reflect the Asian Sister City regions that will be represented at the Phase A site. The project will be funded from State Proposition 1 C grant funds, with $1.1 million available from that source. As the Engineer's Estimate was $900,000, and the low bid was for $1.1 million, $200,000 in previously reserved redevelopment funds from the Old Town Kern - Pioneer Project Area will also be allocated towards the project, for a total of $1.3 million in available funding. This will allow for potential change orders, inspection services, and other costs that may exceed $1.1 million. Of the 3 bids that were received, a local firm, Rock Bottom, Inc., was the low bidder in the amount of $1.1 million. Staff recommends award of the construction contract to Rock Bottom, Inc. and a $200,000 appropriation of redevelopment funds to the Public Works Capital Project Budget. Item 8qq. Construction Contract for the City Landfill Final Closure. The landfill was closed in 1983, but it has taken many years to obtain full approval from the State to proceed with the final closure plan. This project will include clearing the vegetation, grading, soil placement and re- seeding for erosion control on the site. The Engineer's Estimate for this project was $5,300,000. 7 firms submitted bids; all were acceptable. Staff recommends approval of the contract with the low bidder, Raminha Construction, Inc. in the amount of $3,368,908. The project will be funded from the Refuse Enterprise Landfill Closure Reserve Fund; there will be no impact on refuse rates. Item Sm Contract for Reconstruction of Ming Avenue from Wible Road to Hughes Lane. This project will reconstruct the middle and outside lanes, as well as access ramps, curb and gutter modifications, striping, pavement markings and traffic signal detector loops on Ming Avenue, between Wible Road and Hughes Lane. There were 3 bids received, all acceptable, with the low bidder being Granite Construction, in the amount of $1,063,104.00. The project will be 100% funded through Gas Tax revenue. There will be a conference with legal counsel regarding one matter of potential litigation and a conference with the labor negotiator. Item 12b. Ward Reapportionment. Since the last reapportionment in 2006, Bakersfield has grown by over 42,000 people, predominately in the northwest and southwest. As required by the City Charter, the words are to be divided equally by population, so a new reapportionment must be done to achieve the accurate balance. To begin the process, staff will present three different maps that equalize the population for each ward. These alternatives are not being recommended for adoption at this time, but are intended to be for initial review as the Council considers various options over the next few months. Agenda Highlights - August 17, 2011 Council Meeting Page 2 Item 14a. Prol,osal to Create a Housing Incentive Task Force The Planning and Development Committee has addressed in a series of meetings the concept of reducing fees to stimulate new housing construction in Bakersfield. After reviewing various ideas, the Committee forwarded a Majority and Minority Report to the full Council for consideration of a General Fund subsidy to new home buyers. On June 29, 2011, the Council approved the Majority Report recommendation, which was not to provide the subsidy. Councilmember Weir then requested the establishment of a task force to focus on methods for stimulating new home construction. The Council will determine if the task force should be created, and if so, consideration may be given to other related issues, including a time limit for the task force to report back to the Council.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance. BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting of June 29, 2011, Vice -Mayor Couch requested staff consider extending the time period for property owners to pay the cost for sewer connection fees and /or the sewer construction fees from five years to seven years. At first reading of the ordinance on July 13, 2011, staff was asked that the time be extended from the proposed seven years to eight years or longer. Currently, the City may enter into an agreement to allow property owners of single family residences to pay the fees through the property owner's property tax bill for a period not to exceed five years. This ordinance will extend the not -to- exceed period to eight years. There is no interest charged to the property owner during this period, and the costs are reflected as a lien on the owner's property. JHR:Isc S: \COUNCIL \Admins\ 11- 12 \SewerFees2d.docx TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: JOSHUA H. RUDNICK, DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM B.C, CONSENT CALENDAR This item refers to adoption of an ordinance amending Section 14.12.390 Subsection B and Subsection C of the Municipal Code relating to Sewers. First reading was on July 13, 2011. Councilmember Couch requested that staff clarify the use of the word "lien" identified in the last sentence of the Administrative Report. Currently, the City may enter into an agreement to allow property owners of single family residences to pay the fees through the property owner's property tax bill for a period not to exceed five years. This ordinance will extend the not - to- exceed period to eight years. There is no interest charged to the property owner during this period, and the costs are reflected on the owner's property tax bill. To clarify, the above only applies when a property owner of a single family residence asks to be connected to the City's sewer system. If a property owner decides to take advantage of the interest -free payment plan, the payments are added to the property owner's property tax bill. The plan does not require that the entire amount be pre -paid before sale of the house at a later date (unlike a judgment lien which may have to be resolved prior to escrow closing).

(All wards) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance. BACKGROUND: In 2009, the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) began a comprehensive review of the alarm system regulations in the City of Bakersfield (City). Following several meetings with the Legislative and Litigation Committee, as well as three public meetings with alarm industry representatives, the BPD concluded that City practices were ineffective and out of date with industry standards. On June 20, 2011 the Legislative and Litigation Committee recommended revisions to the existing alarm ordinance which reflected BPD'S desired changes. The proposed ordinance deletes the present Chapter 5.08 in its entirety and is replaced by this ordinance. The provisions of the new alarm ordinance are more user friendly and clearly address the duties of alarm users and installation /monitoring companies, false alarm allowances per alarm user, and civil /criminal remedies available to the City. Prior to first reading at the Council meeting on July 13, 2011, staff submitted a memorandum which provided minor modifications to Sections 5.08.190(A) and 5.08.190(B), which were needed to better address the civil penalties for each false alarm. First reading with the proposed amendments occurred on July 13, 2011.

(Wards 4 & 7) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance. BACKGROUND: First reading of the ordinance was given on July 13, 2011.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends first reading of the Ordinance. BACKGROUND: On July 13, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution No. 070 -11 stating the City's intention to make remittances required by California Legislature Bill AB 1X 27 (Voluntary Program Act) In order to avoid dissolution of the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency (Redevelopment Agency). This bill provides for an agency to continue to operate and function if the City (City Council) has enacted a binding continuation Ordinance by November 1, 2011. If the Ordinance Is adopted, then AB 1 X 26 (Dissolution Act) is inapplicable to the Redevelopment Agency and the agency may continue to operate normally as long as the City makes the continuation payments. The Ordinance requires that the City make annual payments from redevelopment resources to a Special District Allocation Fund (SDAF) and Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) established for each county and administered by the County Auditor- Controller. The California Redevelopment Association (CRA) has calculated an estimate of the payments for the Redevelopment Agency for FY 2011/12 In the amount of $3,777,822 and $888,889 for FY 2012/13. It Is expected that the annual payment amount will Increase each year depending on the amount of tax increment collected by the redevelopment agencies. It is anticipated that by FY 2013/14, the Redevelopment Agency will receive approximately $2 million annually after making Its annual payments to the State to continue with planned and future redevelopment efforts. Appeal of Amount of Remittance Staff has filed an appeal of the amount due for FY 2011/12, as our Redevelopment Agency Incurred additional bonded Indebtedness shortly after the filing of our 2009 State Controller's Report. This is the document that will be used by the California Department of Finance as the basis for the payment calculation formula for FY 2011/12. As a result of the correction of the debt amount, the Redevelopment Agency payment could be reduced If the appeal is approved by the State. S: \ COUNCIL\ Admins\ 11 -12\ RDA.AItRedevPrgm- 8- 11- 201 1.docx A ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Legal Action On July 18, 2011, the League of California Cities and CRA filed a lawsuit with the California Supreme Court to challenge the constitutionality of the legislation. On August 11, 2011, the Court agreed to take the case and also granted part of the Stay requested by the CRA and League of California Cities. The partial Stay, in effect, prevents redevelopment agencies from being forced to dissolve by October 1, 2011, or to make the payments until the Court rules on the merits of the case. However, the Court did allow to remain in effect the AB 1 X 26 provisions that preclude existing redevelopment agencies from Incurring new Indebtedness, transferring assets, acquiring real property, entering Into new contracts or modifying existing contracts, entering Into new partnerships, adopting or amending redevelopment plans, etc. The Court also established an expedited briefing schedule, which should enable the Court to make a final ruling before January 15, 2012. Proposed Ordinance The proposed Ordinance provides among other provisions as follows; 1) Remittances may be paid from Redevelopment Agency funds /assets transferred to the City. 2) The City by this ordinance does not Intend to pledge any general fund revenues or other assets. 3) The City reserves the right to appeal the California Director of Finance's determination of the FY 2011/12 community remittance, and the City Intends to pay these community remittances under protest and without prejudice to the City's right to recover such amounts and Interest thereon, to the extent that there is a final determination that AB 1 X 26 and AB 1 X 27 are unconstitutional. 4) The City also reserves the right, regardless of any community remittance made pursuant to the Ordinance, to challenge the legality of AB 1 X 26 and AB 1 X 27. 5) If the court enjoins, restrains or grants a stay as to the City's payment obligation under the bills, the City shall not be obligated to make any community remittance for the duration of such Injunction, restraint or stay. Remittance Agreement If the Ordinance is enacted, staff will return to the Council and Redevelopment Agency with actions authorizing the City and Redevelopment Agency to enter Into a Remittance Agreement whereby the Redevelopment Agency agrees to transfer a portion of Its Net Available Tax Increment to the City equal to that year's Remittance for the City to make Remittance to the County. Net Available Tax Increment is all tax Increment less existing debt service and third party obligations and excluding Low /Mod Housing Funds other than L/M Funds allocated for the FY 2011/12 Remittance. The Program exempts agencies from making the allocation to the L/M Fund, in FY 2011/12 only, if there are Insufficient funds for debt and other obligations, program needs, or Remittance Agreement obligations. Dissolution Option If the City falls to adopt or later on rescinds the Ordinance or falls to make the continuation payments, then the Redevelopment Agency becomes subject to the Dissolution Act and will be eliminated, which will drastically reduce the amount of local tax dollars to continue significant redevelopment projects In Bakersfield. The City as a local agency recipient and as part of the S: \COUNCIL\ Admins\ 11- 12\ RDA.AItRedevPrgm- 8- 11- 2011.docx 9 A ° ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT post - dissolution process could receive approximately 17% of the local tax dollars that revert back to County control, which is estimated to be between $400,000 to $750,000 annually. Dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency would eliminate the Redevelopment Agency's ability to enter new revitalization programs /activities and would wind up the Agency's currently - approved and enforceable obligations and projects, thus Increasing the need for City resources to address former project area Infrastructure needs and hindering efforts to address the shortage of affordable housing. Conclusion Staff recommends and encourages the City Council to adopt the Ordinance required by the State to continue redevelopment efforts in Bakersfield.

The three different speed limits are as follows: 1. 15 m.p.h. a. At "blind" railroad crossings. (CVC Section 22352.a.1) b. At "blind" intersections. (CVC Section 22352.a.2) C. On any alley.

Upon a two -lane, undivided highway. (CVC Sections 22349 b., and 40802) 4. 65 m.p.h. Any street which does not fall into the categories listed in numbers 1, 2 and 3 above. (CVC Sections 22349.a. and 40802) The California State Legislature revised the California Vehicle Code (CVC) effective January 1, 1997 to set the maximum speed limit at 65 mph. The CVC allows the 25 m.p.h, speed limit to be raised (Section 22357) or the 65 m.p.h. speed limit to be lowered (Section 22358) to facilitate the smooth orderly flow of traffic. This increase or reduction is done by an "Engineering and Traffic Survey ". The survey must be done in accordance with State mandated procedures and must be renewed every five (5) years. The speed limit which is proposed in the subject resolution has been established as a result of an "Engineering and Traffic Survey ".

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of resolution. BACKGROUND: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated that as of December 31, 2012, all radio licensees in those bands below 512 MHz operate their radio channels in the new narrowband configuration of 12.5 KHz bandwidth. Police, Fire, Public Works, and Water radio channels fall within that spectrum. The existing Motorola radio infrastructure equipment permits Police, Fire, and Public Works personnel to communicate over radio channels, It was purchased and installed between 1988 and 1996 and is not capable of the narrowband operation mandated by the FCC. All City mobile, portable, and base station radios must be compatible with Motorola infrastructure equipment. The upgrade process began in FY06 /07 and is being completed in incremental phases. Sufficient funds are budgeted to purchase this equipment.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director DATE: July 6, 2011 DEPARTMENT HEAD CITY ATTORNEY_ CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: Resolution determining that Bioxide, a proprietary chemical for sewer odor control and reduction of sulfide gas levels, cannot be reasonably obtained through the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding thereof for a period of one (1) year, not to exceed the budgeted amount of $800,000. (City Wide) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution. BACKGROUND: Some areas of Southwest, Northwest and Northeast Bakersfield experience continuing odor problems from the sewer trunk lines thus creating a nuisance to residents and businesses. Nuisance odors are a violation of the San Joaquin Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) policies and can be punishable by a fine. The City has previously received a warning from the District to alleviate the nuisance odors and reduce the high levels of sulfide gas found in the sewer system, or face a fine by the District. Bioxide has proven itself to be compatible with the City Wastewater secondary treatment process and is environmentally sound. Due to the proprietary nature of Bioxide, and the need to continually inject Bioxide to control odors in the sewer trunk lines, staff is recommending adoption of the Resolution to dispense with bidding for Bioxide and authorizing the purchase of Bioxide on a continuing basis in amounts to meet the City's requirements, not to exceed the budgeted amount of $800,000. If at any time it is determined that other products or more effective products are available, staff will re- evaluate the sole source designation of Bioxide and will seek competitive pricing to insure the best interests of the City are met. Funds for the purchase are in the 2011 -2012 adopted budget within the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.

Approve the agreement to supply and install replacement Mark VII car wash equipment from Banks & Company for a total amount not to exceed $100,000. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution and approval of agreement. BACKGROUND: A Mark VII Touchless Car Wash has been in use at the City of Bakersfield Corporation Yard since 1998. The car wash system has an increasing amount of breakdowns and currently is in need of repair. Staff has determined that replacement of the operating components of the car wash unit will be more cost effective than purchasing a new system. The supply and installation of Mark VII car wash equipment must be purchased from the factory trained distributor for Bakersfield, Banks & Company. Funds for the purchase are in the FY 2011 -2012 adopted budget within the Equipment Management Fund. The upgrade to the existing car wash system will extend the life of this heavily used equipment and will continue to provide service to City vehicles.

The equipment has an excellent track record and has become the standard for the Fire Department. Holmatro rescue equipment must be purchased from the exclusive dealer for Kern County, Fire Service Specification and Supply (FS3).

Resolution determining that the timely repair and replacement of the water pump station cannot be reasonably obtained through the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding therefor and request water pump station repair and replacement services from Kern Sprinkler Landscaping, Inc., not to exceed $102,000. 2. Approve the agreement to repair and replace the water pump station at the Mesa Marin Sports Complex from Kern Sprinkler Landscaping, Inc. for a total amount not to exceed $102,000. 3. Appropriate $102,000 Self- Insurance Fund balance to the Self- Insurance operating budget for the replacement of the water pump station. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution and approval of agreement and appropriation. BACKGROUND: The water pump station at the Mesa Marin Sports Complex, consisting of a water pump, fire suppression system, and an irrigation controller, was struck by a vehicle and sustained major damages. An ongoing water supply is critical to this facility as new turf, trees, and foliage have recently been planted and a fire suppression system feeds into the pre- fabricated facility. Staff determined that the timely repair and replacement of the water pump station was critical for this facility and contacted the original installer of this system, Kern Sprinkler Landscaping, Inc., to provide these emergency repair services. These services will restore the water pumps to their original working condition. Funds for the purchase are in the FY 2011 -12 adopted budget within the Self- Insurance Fund. Kern Sprinkler Landscaping, Inc.'s water pump repair services are not part of the annual contract held with the City.

Smith, Finance Director DATE: July 11, 2011 SUBJECT: Disposal of Real Property DEPARTMENT HEAD CITY ATTORNEY CITY MANAGER APPROVED 1. Resolution declaring real property located west of Union Avenue and north of Hopper Court (24th Street) surplus to needs of the City. 2. Quitclaim Deed to Hopper Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company conveying surplus property located west of Union Avenue and north of Hopper Court (24th Street). (Ward 2) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of quitclaim. BACKGROUND: In November of 2010, the City Council vacated Hopper Court (24th Street) between Union Avenue West Loop Road to the northern right of way line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. This was requested by the adjoining property owners, Hopper Properties, LLC, who are currently in the process of restoring the existing building on the site. Adjacent to the vacated street is a 2610 square foot parcel (map attached) that was dedicated to the City by the California Ice and Cold Storage Company (CICS) in 1961. According to the December 11, 1961 City Council minutes CICS granted the City the "property to be used for 24th Street - Kentucky Street transition adjacent to Union Avenue ". Then in 1986 the Union Avenue Overpass Project was constructed and this access to point to Union Avenue was eliminated. Further, now that Hopper Court has been vacated this area is no longer needed for road way purposes. The parcel's small size, triangular configuration, and location severely limit its development potential. As such, the City has no use for it. So if approved, we would transfer the property back to Hopper Properties, LLC, the successor in interest to the California Ice and Cold Storage Company.

(Ward 2) 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.

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. a G: \GROUPDAT\ADMINRPT\2011 \08- 17 \ROI est CMD 3- 82.docx a , ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 1 MEETING DATE: August 17, 2011 AGENDA SECTION: Consent Calendar ITEM: 9 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Council Raul M.

(Ward 3) MW) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement. BACKGROUND: This agreement is for the Engineering Design Services for the SR -178 and Morning Drive Interchange Project. The project consists of an interchange at SR -178 and Morning Drive and widening the freeway to four lanes for approximately 1.5 miles from just west or Morning Drive to the future Vineland Road. In addition, auxiliary lanes will be added between the Fairfax Road and Morning Drive on and off ramps. Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Design Services for the SR -178 and Morning Drive Interchange Project. The following seven firms responded to this RFP: T.Y.LIN International (San Diego, California) Mark Thomas and Company (Fresno, California) AECOM (Sacramento, California) KOA Corporation (Monterey Park, California) Jacobs (Ontario, California) Kimley -Horn and Associates (Rancho Cordova, California) Quincy Engineering, Inc. (Sacramento, California) Based on a review of their proposals, the selection committee invited the first three firms listed above to interview with the committee. Based on the rankings of the proposals and the interviews, T.Y.LIN International was selected as the most qualified to provide engineering design services for the SR -178 and Morning Drive Interchange Project. In accordance with federal procurement procedures for these types of services, after T.Y.LIN International was selected, their cost for providing these services was then negotiated by the Public Works TRIP staff. Staff is awaiting approval of the Final Environmental Document (FED) by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which we anticipate will occur shortly. The City will not provide T.Y.Lin International a Notice to Proceed until the FED has been signed.

(TRIP) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Amendment. BACKGROUND: The State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) identified Kern County as the lead agency for the 7th Standard Road Widening Project. As the lead agency, the County is the only agency able to seek reimbursement through Caltrans from federal Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) funds identified for the 7th Standard Road Widening Project. Due to the timing for the project, the County requested that the City allow Parsons and it's sub - consultants to perform professional services for right -of -way work for the project, utilizing the existing agreement the City has with Parsons. On June 9, 2010 the City and County entered into Reimbursement Agreement 10 -072 to perform the above mentioned services. This reimbursement agreement allows the City to bill the County and the County to pay for reimbursement of Parsons' right -of -way work, The County can then submit these charges to Caltrans for reimbursement from federal TRIP funds identified for the 7th Standard Road Widening Project. The County is now requesting this agreement be amended as additional right -of -way work is required in the vicinity of Mustang Way and 7th Standard Road.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment. BACKGROUND: Agreement No. 04 -214 awarded the contract to provide design engineering services for the expansion of Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 to Parsons Water and Infrastructure. Amendment No. 6 to this Agreement added design services for the Solar Energy Project at Plant 3. Parsons continues to support the wastewater operation process and assists in resolving operational problems related to the Plant 3 Expansion Project. Compensation limits for this phase of work is nearly exhausted. The solar energy project is near completion and Parsons has minimal work left on the project. Over $70,000 of compensation remains for this phase of work. Staff recommends the transfer of $60,000 from the "Solar Energy Project" phase of work to the "Plant 3 Expansion" phase of work. The transfer of funds will allow Parsons to continue providing support for wastewater staff and help resolve operational problems related to the Plant 3 Expansion Project. This amendment does not increase the compensation limits for this Agreement. This proposed amendment transfers $60,000 from the "Solar Energy Project" phase of work to the "Plant 3 Expansion" phase of work. There is no General Fund impact associated with this amendment.

BACKGROUND: During the last few years the City of Bakersfield and the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency has committed various funding sources for the 191h Street Senior Project including $3.65 million in Redevelopment low -mod housing and $1.3 million in HOME funds to construct 67 units of senior rental housing in a three -story structure. Another part of the project includes a two level 145 space parking structure funded with $1.9 million in Prop 1 C and $500,000 in tax increment funds. Due to the economics of the project and conditions associated with the bank financing, it is necessary to add $250,000 to the $1.3 million in HOME funds for a total of $1,550,000 and enables the Agency to administer the City's $1.55 million federal HOME Investment Partnership funds as part of the financing for constructing the 67 affordable multi - family unit project. The attached sub - recipient agreement will serve as an assignment function whereby the City will allow the Redevelopment Agency to administer the project, ensuring that the project will be built and that affordable housing will be provided as previously described, HUD regulations require the commitment of these funds through a contractual agreement to either a developer or a sub - recipient entity over the course of two funding years. The funds must be expended within five years. Subsequently, the Redevelopment Agency will be asked to execute this agreement with the City at its August, 2011 meeting.

($245,018; revised not to exceed $4,933,018) for the Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 Septage /Grease Receiving Station and Odor Control Project (Ward 1). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order. BACKGROUND: This project provides for the installation of a grease and septage receiving station and odor control measures at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. Contract Change Order No. 1 provides for costs incurred due to a project delay. After the contractor had mobilized on the project and during the initial survey, it was discovered that several existing pipelines and structures were not in the area located on the plans. As a result, work on the project had to stop until additional survey and design work could be completed. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum of $25,974 as full compensation for the costs caused by this delay in the project. An cost analysis is on file. Contract Change Order No. 2 provides for the Contractor to purchase, install, and program the equipment necessary interface with the existing SCADA system. This equipment was originally to be provided by the City; however, there was no cost savings benefit if purchased by the City and there would have been a time delay for installation. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum of $154,611 for these items. Contract Change Order No. 3 provides for a change in the manufacturer of the septage processing equipment. After the award of the contract, it was discovered that the septage processing equipment produced by Lakeside, a specified manufacturer, would not interface with the specified " Port-A- Logic" software. As such, the contractor will have to procure this equipment from Huber Technology. This change in manufacturers will result in a cost increase of $64,433. The net cost increase of Contract Change Orders 1 through 3 is $245,018 (which is an increase of 5.0% of the original contract amount) as illustrated below: • Original Contract Amount = $4,688,000.00 • Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $4,933,018.00 Net Increase to date = $ 245,018.00 RM (Construction) August 3, 2011, 8:06AM G: \GROUPDATIADMINRPT 12011 \08- 17 \CCO 1 -3 WWTP 2 Septage Receiving and Odor Control.doc ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Sufficient funds are budgeted to fund this Change Order.

($3,368,908.00) for construction of Bakersfield City Sanitary Landfill Final Closure. (Ward 3) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and approval of contract. BACKGROUND: The City's landfill was covered with soil when it ceased operations in 1983. At the time, the cover soil met state regulations for one agency but not another. Over the years, the regulations have been clarified and it became apparent that additional soil cover was needed. A final closure plan was developed and fully approved by the state. Construction will include clearing the existing vegetation, adjusting grades in some areas, placement of a final 3' thick layer of engineered soil on 85 acres, followed by reseeding for erosion control. Soil will be obtained from the site and from a nearby site where excess soil prevents development of Paladino Drive east of Fairfax Road. Construction will begin in September, and the project will last about 60 weeks. The City solicited contractors for the construction of the landfill cap through our Responsibility Statement and Questionnaire process. Ten firms were pre - qualified to bid on the project, seven of which submitted bids as listed below. The Engineer's Estimate was $5,300,000.00. It has been funded by the Refuse Enterprise Landfill Closure Reserve Fund, with no impact on refuse rates. There are sufficient funds to award the project.

BACKGROUND: Each year, as a component of the City's membership in the League of California Cities, the City Council appoints a Voting Delegate to represent the City's position on resolutions at the annual business meeting of the League's Annual Conference.

As of 2011, Bakersfield is now designated as one of the ten largest cities in California, which gives us a membership on the League Board of Directors. As the Mayor's appointed representative, Vice -Mayor Couch will also be attending the quarterly Board of Directors' meeting that will be held during the 2011 Annual Conference.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jim Eggert, Planning Director DATE: August 4, 2011 SUBJECT: Ward Reapportionment RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council discuss and give direction to staff. BACKGROUND: APPROVED DEPARTMENT HEAD CITY ATTORNEY )W CITY MANAGER S The Charter of the City of Bakersfield states that the city shall be divided into seven political subdivisions, which shall be known as Wards, and they shall reflect as nearly as possible, equal populations. The decennial census is used under state and federal law for apportionment of political districts. In March 2011, the federal census released the 2010 population results for California and Bakersfield's official population was listed at 347,483. In accordance with the Charter, the population in each Ward should have equal populations of 49,460. Since the last reapportionment in 2006, the city has grown by over 42,000 people, predominantly in the northwest and southwest areas. Therefore, most Ward populations now vary significantly either above or below the desired average (see table below): WARD 1 WARD 2 WARD 3 WARD 4 .-WARD -5- WARD_6 WARD_ 7 TOTAL TOTAL POPULATION OVER /UNDER AVERAGE -------- 51,283- - - - - -- ----------- - - - -- 3.31 %_ -------- 40,123 -----__ ___ _____9,517 _19.17% 44,814 - - - - -- - -- - - - - -- -4,826 -- - - - - -- - -L-------------- - 9.72% 57,864 8,224: 16.57% 46,177 --------------- - - - - -- -3,463 ; ------------------------------- - 6.98% 50,105 -- - - - - - - 465 ; - -- - - -------- 0.94% - - - - -- 57,117 - - - - -- - -- - - - - - -- 7,477 ; -- - - - - -- -- -------- 15.06% - - - - -- 347,483 Average Ward population = 49,640 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Reapportionment of the Ward boundaries is to accomplish equality of population, as closely as possible, to ensure adherence to the one - person, one -vote doctrine. Deviation from the average population for each Ward is acceptable if reasonably based upon certain criteria (ie. topography; geography; cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, and compactness of Ward territory; and community interests within the Ward). Case law has established that as a general rule, a deviation of 0 - 5% is construed as very reasonable, a deviation of up to 10% can occur without formal justification, a deviation of 10% - 16.4% can occur only if formal justification based on the criteria is established, and a deviation above 16.4% is intolerable. In the event any challenge to a reapportionment is filed, the City Council's adoption of legislative findings regarding criteria used to establish the reapportionment would be extremely beneficial to support a defense. Such findings, when combined with existing case law, would provide a position that a deviation of 0 - 5% would be very defensible. As the deviation increases, the potential for challenge increases. Staff has developed a computer - generated process using GIS to move areas as small as census blocks from one Ward to another and automatically recalculate Ward populations, including the number and percentage deviation from average. This allows multiple Ward balancing options to be easily produced with results that can be instantly viewed on a map. Staff has provided three different maps that balance Ward populations within the 5% deviation threshold. None of these alternatives are being recommended for adoption at this time. They are only being provided to give you a starting point to explore various options so that over the next few months, a final reapportionment can be adopted before the next Ward election, which occurs in late 2012. August 10, 2011, 8:12AM P: \City Council \Reapportionment \Reapportionment Admin.docx MEETING DATE: August 17, 2011 AGENDA SECTION: Deferred Business ITEM: 1q. a, TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Council Alan Tandy, City Manager August 2, 2011 DEPARTMENT HEAI Proposal to Create a Housing Incentive Task Force CITY ATTORNE' CITY MANAGE RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council determination. BACKGROUND: At the regular meeting of the City Council on June 29, 2011, the City Council voted 6 -1 to ratify the Majority Report of the Planning and Development Committee, which was to not provide a General Fund subsidy to new home buyers. Councilmember Weir then asked that the Vice Mayor consider establishing a task force that would specifically focus on what can happen to stimulate and prod the building of new homes in our community. For several months prior to June 29, 2011, the Planning and Development Committee met to consider several variations of how fee reductions might be used to spur housing construction. Those ideas were not carried forward for two main reasons: 1) The subsidy could not total enough to offset the difference in cost between foreclosure /short sales and the cost of new homes; and, 2) The City had already prevailed in a legal challenge to its fees, and was using the validated fees to defend against three other lawsuits. There may be other methods to look at ways to stimulate the housing market. Some of them follow below: At the June 29, 2011 meeting, Donna Carpenter raised the question of "transferring some of the permit fees to the property taxes." That subject had also arisen earlier in Committee deliberations. A memorandum from Finance Director Nelson Smith is attached on that subject. Please note that there are certain complexities related to this concept. • City staff conducted an internet search of alternatives to a fee -based housing stimulus program. A copy of that report is attached. The programs are nearly all similar to the proposal that did not receive approval by the City Council on June 29, 2011. AT:aI S: \Admin Rpts \2011 \Housing Incentive Task Force 08.17. l l .docx Page 1 8/3/2011 10:35 AM oy U C ri 0 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Staff notes that during the time adoption of the current traffic impact fees was being considered, City staff recommended a 10% economic recovery period discount. That proposal passed the nexus test because fees were to be raised adequately in future years to fully recover the lost revenues. Kern County believed, however, that the discount was illegal. In order to have a common fee, the City dropped the proposal. The joint City- County fee is what will survive the legal challenge. The County could be approached again to see if their view of the matter has changed. The City adopted a one -year extension of final maps as an economic incentive. The State legislature recently authorized another two -year extension of vested maps. A Housing Incentive Task Force may envision possible incentives beyond those considered by the Planning and Development Committee, or those items mentioned in this administrative report. Staff would respectfully request that such a task force not restudy the ideas recently considered and rejected by the Planning and Development Committee and City Council. mm The Vice Mayor may nominate the members of a Task Force for City Council confirmation. The City Council may consider a time limit for such a task force to report back to the City Council, if created. The City Council may have other ideas, recommendations or guidance to provide relative to the task force.
