Bob Smith with Bike Bakersfield stated he understood from a previous meeting
that if a “Road Diet” (which is the reduction of the number of lanes on the
collector) was possible on collectors, a 7’ wide bike lane would be painted.
Committee member David Couch asked staff if this was correct.
Public Works Director Raul Rojas confirmed bike lanes would be widened on
collectors, where possible.
Committee Chair Sullivan asked if it was possible to have a designated staff
member who could be in contact with Bike Bakersfield to inform them of any
progress with widening of bike lanes on collector streets.
Public Works Director stated the appropriate contact person would be Ryan
Starbuck in the Public Works Traffic Engineering Division.
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion and Recommendation regarding Sports Village Phase II –
Tandy / Hoover
City Manager Alan Tandy provided a brief overview of the concept plan of
the Sports Village. Phase I was completed and has been operating since
June, 2011. It includes eight lighted soccer fields operated by the American
Youth Soccer Association, Region 73 (AYSO). Phase II will cost approximately
$3.2 million, which will be funded through the Park Improvement Fund and a
naming rights agreement. It will include four football fields, four additional
soccer fields, a restroom/storage building, and the addition of 344 paved
parking stalls along with the extension of a road from Phase I into Phase II.
Sport lighting will be added in the future as funding becomes available.
Community Services Committee Meeting
Agenda Summary Report
Thursday, December 8, 2011

Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover stated the partnership with
AYSO to operate the soccer fields has been very positive. Negotiations are
taking place with Golden Empire Youth Football (GEYF), a local non-profit
youth organization currently using various football fields around the City and
County.
Kirk Swiggum, representing AYSO, stated that staff has been very helpful with
their transition from the California State University Bakersfield fields to the
Sports Village. AYSO saw a 90 percent increase in sign-ups for new soccer
players after the move and expects to see additional growth in the next
soccer season.
Ron White, representing Golden Empire Youth Football (GEYF), stated they
currently host their games on Kern High School District fields and the field at
Bakersfield College. They accommodate games for approximately 2,500
participants. The use of Phase II of the Sports Village will allow GEYF to grow
and double their participants over the next few years. GEYF would like to
expand football into a yearlong sport.
Public Works Director Raul Rojas commented that, as part of Phase II
construction, a road was moved to the north to allow for the construction of
four typical football fields. An alternative is also being drawn to
accommodate additional parking. The plan should be available for approval
in February, 2012. Advertising of the project should begin in March, 2012, and
a contract should be awarded in May, 2012, with construction beginning in
June, 2012. Phase II should be open for football and soccer in September,
2013.
City Manager Alan Tandy stated that negotiations with GEYF for an operating
contract similar to AYSO to pay for the maintenance of the fields they use are
ongoing. During the bidding period of Phase II, the current agreement with
AYSO would be amended to include the four additional soccer fields. An
agreement with GEYF for maintenance of the four football fields would also
be presented to Council for approval. The City would not bear the operating
costs in the General Fund.
Committee member David Couch asked if parking would be an issue if
football was a yearlong sport activity.
City Manager Alan Tandy indicated that additional parking would
temporarily be constructed on the north side of McKee Road. In the future,
when funding is available, it would become permanent.
Committee member Rudy Salas asked if the temporary/permanent parking
lot would interfere with the area designated for commercial development
Community Services Committee Meeting
Agenda Summary Report
Thursday, December 8, 2011
Page 4
and if it is determined in the future that additional parking was needed, how
it would be addressed.
City Manager Alan Tandy stated it will be sometime before any commercial
development begins, due to the slow housing market, but that the current
plan would allow the commercial development to share the parking area,
similar to what is in place at the Park at Riverwalk. Recreation and Parks
Director Hoover stated each field is being built with adjacent parking. If this
issue should arise in the future, the plan would then be adjusted as necessary.
Committee member Salas made a motion to forward the agreement to the
full City Council for review and approval. The motion was unanimously
approved.
B. Discussion and Recommendation regarding an Agreement with the
Community Action Partnership of Kern for Construction of a Ball Field of the
Friendship House – Tandy / Hoover
City Manager Alan Tandy stated that Councilmember Salas had requested
staff explore opportunities to fund the completion of a ball field on land
owned by the Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPA) located at the
Friendship House Community Center in the southeast. He proposed a
construction agreement between CAPA and the City. The City would provide
$151,000 of City Park Improvement funds and allow CAPA to construct the
ball fields with a supporting irrigation system. CAPA would be the operator of
the fields and would pay for maintenance of the fields.
Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover stated the field would be
utilized as a multi-use field.
Jeremy Tobias, representing CAPA, stated the field would be used for youth
soccer, youth football, and softball practices and games. He also stated the
partnership with the City would be a benefit for the area and a great
opportunity for the neighborhood.
Committee Chair Jacquie Sullivan asked for a proposed timeline.
Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover stated that when the
agreement is approved by the full Council, the funds would be transferred to
CAPA for construction, and the exact time would be determined by CAPA.
Mr. Tobias stated CAPA would move on the construction immediately.
Committee member Salas made a motion for the agreement to be
forwarded to the full City Council for review and approval. The motion was
unanimously approved.

Agenda Summary Report

C. 2011 Aquatics Report – Hoover
Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover stated there was an overall
decline in pool attendance for several reasons. There were four fully
operational pools this season, with an increase in overall attendance at each
pool site. However, funding from First Five Kern was lost at the beginning of
the summer season due to budget reductions. Subsequently, on July 1st, a
grant from First Five Kern become available which provided $5 swim lessons
for 0-5 year olds and their parents, creating a program called the Make a
Splash Program. The program was awarded with a national award for
Excellence in Water Safety.
Aquatics Supervisor David Stricker provided a brief description of the Make a
Splash Program. The program’s goal is to lower the drowning rate. Its four
major components are:
1) Free admission for 0-5 year olds and their parents for recreation swim;
2) Two weeks of swimming lessons for $5 for everyone, including 0-5 year
olds and adults;
3) Preschool and kindergarten presentations; and
4) CPR and first aid training.
A USA Swimming grant was also awarded to expand the Make A Splash swim
lesson a component of the program. Press releases and flyers at each facility
are used to help advertise all the programs available and they are also
advertised on the internet.
Committee member Rudy Salas asked if staff tried to partner with different
schools to help promote the various programs offered by the City.
Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover stated most schools have
eliminated partnering to promote programs for various reasons, including that
some of the schools now have their own swim facilities. Aquatics Supervisor
David Stricker stated they maintain communication with the activity directors
of various schools, which helps, depending on the event and/or program.
D. Discussion and Recommendation regarding Bike Transportation Plan
Funding - Eggert
Planning Director Jim Eggert stated in order to be eligible to apply for funding
through the Caltrans’ Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) to enhance
and/or construct new bicycle facilities, a Bicycle Transportation Plan (BT Plan)
must be approved as a component of the grant application request. A BT
Plan identifies specific projects which could be funded. The BT Plan
Community Services Committee Meeting
Agenda Summary Report
Thursday, December 8, 2011
Page 6
supplements the General Plan, as it becomes an implementation measure to
provide funding opportunities for bicycle facilities. The completed plan must
be approved by the Kern Council of Governments (KernCOG) and if
adopted, the BT Plan would be current for five years and be used for State
funding eligibility during that time period.
Committee member David Couch asked if a plan was created and
adopted, would it be possible to readopt the plan once it expires after five
years. He also asked if the plan would concentrate on expanding the bike
lanes only.
Planning Director Eggert stated that with a plan previously in place it would
be easier to readopt, but it would depend on any new requirements which
would have to be implemented into the plan.
Public Works Director Raul Rojas stated the plan would not be specific to
making bike lanes wider; it would be general, to include developing new
bikeways and bike paths. Planning Director Eggert also stated that the plan
would help identify and prioritize projects.
Planning Director Eggert informed the Committee that KernCOG recently
began preparation of a countywide BT Plan which would only apply to the
unincorporated area of Kern County. KernCOG has already awarded a
contract to a consultant for preparation of the plan, making it problematic
for inclusion of the City, since it would require renegotiations of the contract
with the consultant, and funding to pay for additional work is uncertain.
A funding source may be available through the Rose Foundation’s Kern
County Air Pollution Mitigation Fund, a program which receives air pollution
mitigation fees paid for by property developers to offset the cumulative air
pollution impacts of new developments. The Rose Foundation supports and
awards grants for projects designed to reduce particulate or ozone air
pollution in the Valley portion of Kern County. Bicycle-related projects would
qualify as this kind of project.
Committee Chair Sullivan asked who would be preparing the BT plan and
how long it would take to prepare the plan.
Planning Director Eggert stated staff from the Planning Division would be
heading the project and working in conjunction with Kern COG to ensure the
two BT Plans are compatible and consistent with the General Plan, as well as
with Bike Bakersfield, staff from the Traffic Engineering division of Public Works,
Community Services Committee Meeting
Agenda Summary Report

Page 7
and others. If funding could be secured, the City could pay for a consultant
to prepare the BT plan. Staff has acquired the necessary information to apply
for funding through the Rose Foundation. If the City does not qualify for the
funds, staff would have to seek other funding sources to continue with a BT
plan. If the Committee decides to move forward, staff would submit the
necessary information to the Rose Foundation, who would then take the
application to their Board for a decision; an exact turnaround time is
unknown. If a grant is awarded, staff would take a few months to contract
with a consultant, and it may take an additional nine months to complete
the BT Plan.
Bob Smith, representing Bike Bakersfield, stated they are excited about the BT
Plan. Mr. Smith also stated he was aware of additional funding sources the
City can look into if no funding is awarded through the Rose Foundation.
Zac Griffin, also with Bike Bakersfield, stated funding from the Air District is
moderately new and the Air District is always looking to award funding to
qualifying projects.
Committee member Salas made a motion to have staff proceed with the
necessary process to apply for funding through the Rose Foundation. The
motion was unanimously approved.
5. COMMITTEE COMMENTS
Committee member Salas asked if there was a plan regarding the reopening of the
two pools closed during the aquatic season.
Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover stated staff was reviewing the costs to
reopen Planz Pool and Siemon Pool and would have a report prepared at a later
date to present to the Committee.

SUBJECT: Siemon and Planz Pools
Due to budget cuts in late 2009, Siemon and Planz pools remained closed for
the summer of 2010 and 2011. In January, 2012, city staff began exploring the
possibility of opening one or both pools this summer. After considerable work
by city staff and outside contractors, a summary report of costs to prepare the
pools for opening was presented to the City Manager’s office.
Total costs varied by pool and included repairs to pumps, lines, gutters and
drains as well as sandblasting, sealing and painting. Costs to open both pools
was estimated at $278,578.00. (Siemon: $174,464.00; Planz: $104,114.00). These
were greater than anticipated and do not include operating costs of over
$50,000 for the season.
Alternative uses for both pools have been recommended such as a spray park
at Siemon and a skate park at Planz. Preliminary estimates for each project are
over $315,000, for a total cost in excess of $630,000.
Staff recognizes that public meetings would need to be held in both
communities before proceeding with any changes to the parks. In addition,
capital improvement funds throughout the city have been dedicated to other
projects in 2012 -2013. Park Improvement funds have also been committed to
other projects and would not be available until more development occurs
within the city.
Staff recommends exploring alternative uses of Siemon and Planz pools with
the respective neighborhoods instead of reopening as public pools.

Pool Description, Operating Cost, Attendance Report,
Generated Revenue and Repairs Needed to Open to the Public
The total cost for the minimum work needed to open Simeon pool to the public is
$174,464.38. This cost would include replacing and repairing the main drain, scum
gutter and return lines that are deteriorated and have blockage. Also included in the
cost is repairing the pump, addressing the cracks in the pool and priming and painting
it.
The County Health Department was consulted on the minimum construction repairs that
can be done without voiding the “Grandfather Status” they assigned Siemon pool. If
we lose that status for Siemon pool, a complete overhaul would be needed to meet
the current standards and regulations for pools by the County Health Department. The
only current regulation Siemon pool needs to comply with is the Virginia Graeme Baker
Pool and Spa Safety Act that was signed in December 2007 which will be met with the
proposed repairs.
City staff filled Siemon pool with water on January 10 and 11. The pool was left filled
with water for three days. After three days, City staff found the pool to be leaking on
average 2,460 gallons of water per day.
If the repair costs are approved and Siemon pool is to open to the public, City staff will
need 120 days to get all the work completed.

Race Slayton and Chuck Graviss at Siemon Pool on January 25, 2012. A two man crew
ran a video camera down the main drain and scum gutters. However, the camera
could not go any further than 25 feet into the main drain due to blockage in the drain
from corroded pipes and sediment build up. The camera was not able to feed through
the main line of the scum gutter farther than 60 feet to the surge pit due to blockage as
well.

The total cost for the minimum work needed to open Planz pool to the public is
$104,114.38. This cost would include replacing and repairing the main drain that is
deteriorated and has blockage, remove existing concrete around and in the pool to
make repairs and to run a camera through the main drain and locate the void under
the pool. A plug was installed inside the main drain of the pool in 2005 so the vendors
cannot run a camera through the drain presently. Once the void is located, the
vendor will core drill that area and repair it. Also included in the cost is repairing the
pump, addressing the cracks in the pool and priming and painting it. The scum gutter
and return lines were replaced in 2005.
The County Health Department was consulted on the minimum construction repairs that

Priming and Painting Pool
Comments
Thoroseal is a waterproof barrier that is used on concrete. It will be purchased from
PrimeSource. The primer and epoxy paint specifically designed for pools and Deco-O-
Seal will be purchased from Leslie’s Swimming Pool Supplies. They have a local store
and is on the Emma list for the City of Bakersfield.
Description of Work
There are several cracks at the bottom of the pool that need to be repaired prior to
painting it. Thoroseal will be used to fill the structural cracks and stop water leakage. It
will be applied by City staff. After the cracks are addressed, the pool will be primed
and painted by City staff. Then City staff will use Deck-O-Seal to fill the expansion joints
in the pool and on the deck.
Cost
$9,100

The cracks at the bottom of Planz pool will be sealed with
