PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS
City of Bakersfield
Fiscal Year 2013 -2014
The City of Bakersfield Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts are specifically described in
each of the resolutions establishing the districts and approved by the city council and all are
on file in the office of the City Clerk and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth
herein.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City
of Bakersfield, the Public Works Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment
of and upon all parcels of property within the districts for the cost of maintaining and
operating traffic signals that benefit the various districts. The assessment includes the cost to
operate, maintain, repair and replace signal poles, mast arms, signal heads, controller,
cabinet, machine vision detection system, street light luminaries, conduits, wires and pull
boxes, cost of energy, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper
maintenance and operation thereof.
Developers often request permission to install traffic signals on major streets to enhance
access to their development. These "convenience" traffic signals are not required by the
Traffic Authority to regulate traffic flow, but are installed solely at the discretion of the
developer of a commercial site. Such signals do not provide a general public traffic benefit.
Under the "user pay" concept, the private property deriving benefits should bear the
costs of maintenance and operation of convenience traffic signals. On September 28, 1994
the City Council approved Resolution 161 -94 instituting the collection of maintenance and
operating costs of future convenience traffic signals through maintenance districts.
The traffic signals that are operated and maintained under these maintenance districts
benefit the parcels within the various districts. Each parcel is assessed an amount based on
formulas set forth in each of the districts' Exhibit "C" on file with the City Clerk's Office.
