Statements that will encourage comments pertaining only to Closed Session matters. The

There will be a conference with Legal Counsel regarding two matters of existing litigation, one
matter relating to the initiation of litigation, and one matter of potential litigation.
REGULAR MEETING - 5:15 p.m.
item 8h. Operation of City Animal Shelter. In order for the City to begin operating our own
animal shelter, we are preparing for the County's upcoming vacation of the joint shelter
operation. Because of the necessity to make immediate purchases of various equipment and
related services for our new operation in a relatively short timeframe, staff is requesting
approval of a resolution to dispense with normal bidding procedures to purchase goods and
services needed for the City shelter. Funds to cover these expenses are available in the
Capital Outlay Fund, as the FY 2013/14 budget included funding for shelter improvements.
Item 8t. New Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The existing HCP will expire in
August 2014. Staff is requesting Council approval of several related agreements to continue
towards the implementation a new HCP: 1) an Agreement with the State Fish and Wildlife
Department to receive $694,852 in grant funding to continue preparation of the plan; 2)
Amendment #1 to add $694,852 to the Agreement with ICF Jones & Stokes to continue their
planning and documentation work; and 3) a request to appropriate the Fish and Wildlife grant
to the Community Development Department Operating Budget.
Item 8aa. Mohawk Street Improvements from Rosedale Highway to Sienna Lane This project
will extend Mohawk Street north of Rosedale Highway to Hagemen Road (Sienna Lane is
about a half mile south of Hageman; there is an existing section of road from Sienna to
Hageman that will complete the connection to Hageman). It will include four lanes, a bridge
over the Calloway Canal, and modification of the traffic signal at Mohawk and Rosedale
Highway. This action includes a request for approval of a contract with the low bidder,
Granite Construction, in the amount of $3,017,932.00 and the appropriation of $1 million in
State Local Partnership Program (SLPP) grant funding and $1.5 million of Traffic Development
Funds to the Public Works Capital Improvement Budget to complete the funding for this
project. An additional source of funding for this project includes a developer contribution
from World Oil in the amount of $1.4 million that was previously appropriated on May 1, 2013.
World Oil has also committed an additional $400,000.00 to this project, which will be
appropriated when received and will offset the project costs accordingly. Please note that
the requirements of the $1 million SLPP grant include an equal match of local developer
funding and that the construction contract to be awarded by September 30, 2013.

SUBJECT: Adoption of ordinance amending the Official Zoning Map in Title 17 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zone district from A (Agriculture) to R -1
(One Family Dwelling) on 77 acres located at the southeast corner of Seventh
Standard Road and Calloway Drive (ZC #13-0136 - McIntosh & Associates
representing Kern Land Partners, LLC) (Ward 3 upon Annexation)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on August 14, 2013.
The public hearing for this project was opened at the City Council meeting of July 17, 2013 and
continued to August 14, 2013. Staff recommended the continuance so the applicant could
continue to work with the appellant, Mr. Clayton Camp, to address his concerns. In addition,
the applicant questioned a condition on the general plan amendment requiring gap road
improvements south of the project along the east side of Calloway Drive, which are off -site and
currently located in the County's jurisdiction. This condition has been revised to clarify giving
the developer credit for some of the gap improvements upon construction and annexation of
the area.
The proposal would allow for the development of approximately 280 single - family dwellings on
the 77 -acre project site. The proposal requires annexation of the site into the City of Bakersfield.
The current city limits are contiguous to the project site on the east and west side, however, not
to the south. Unless there is agreement among property owners to the south to also annex into
the City, there is the potential that a County island may be created. It should be noted that the
City will not submit an application for annexation to LAFCo until a resolution is reached in the
current dispute with Kern County regarding the County's re- interpretation of the master tax split
agreement.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The project site is relatively flat and includes two houses and agricultural land. Existing
developments surrounding the project site include ranch -style residences to the north and
south, single - family residential to the southwest and agricultural areas which are planned for
residential development to the southeast. Planned commercial uses are located both directly
east and west of the project site. There is also additional commercial use at the intersection of
Coffee Road and Seventh Standard Road, which is known as the Saco Ranch project.
At the time development occurs, the property will be under the City's policy for "Complete
Streets," which requires that all transportation facilities for bicyclists, pedestrians, transit and
motorists be considered. In addition, under standards jointly adopted by the City of Bakersfield,
the County of Kern and the City of Shafter, Seventh Standard Road will be developed with a 30-
foot landscaped parkway behind the standard sidewalks.
As an Expressway, no direct access will be allowed to Seventh Standard Road from the project
site; however, both Calloway Drive and Quail Creek Road (east end of the site) will be
signalized intersections when fully developed. Primary vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian access
to the site will be via Calloway Drive (Arterial) on the west and Quail Creek Road (Collector) on
the east side of the project site. All sidewalks and pedestrian access throughout the
development will be required in accordance with City standards. There are currently no GET
bus routes that run along the project site. In northwest Bakersfield, current GET bus routes do not
travel north of Olive Drive.
The City's Bikeway Master Plan identifies Seventh Standard Road as a Class 3 facility (bike route
with posted signs, no marked lanes). Along the project site, bike lanes or routes do not exist on
Calloway Drive. According to the City's Bikeway Master Plan, Calloway Drive is planned for
Class 2 bike lanes to the south, starting at Snow Road. The Traffic Engineer will evaluate if bike
lane striping should be installed or delayed if its installation will compromise public safety (e.g.
short lengths of unconnected bike lanes that would confuse drivers and cyclists increasing the
likelihood of accidents).
The approved land use allows for the development of single - family residential homes and
increased the density to what is more typical of City development. The increased residential
density is compatible with the surrounding urban commercial and residential uses. The
Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan encourages the intensification of land use that maintains
continuity of existing development. The proposal would support the planned commercial uses
along Seventh Standard Road at the Calloway Drive and Coffee Road intersections.
The higher density residential will also act as a buffer to separate Seventh Standard Road from
the rural and estate uses to the south of the project site. The area along the south side of the
project site is developed with larger rural and estate single - family lots of two and one half (2'/2)
acres. Staff originally recommended a condition on the proposed general plan amendment
for the project, that the lots which abut the large lots be a minimum of 10,000 square feet for a
more compatible transition to increased densities further north on the project site. At the
Planning Commission hearing, the minimum lot size along the southern boundary of the project
August 28, 2013, 1:26PM
CG /S:IDanaIADMINS120131SEP719 -11 -0136 2.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
site was increased to 18,000 square feet because of concerns raised by neighbors not wanting
city -sized lots backing up to their larger rural properties. The applicant agreed to this modified
condition.
To assist the Commission with considering requiring the larger lots along the south boundary of
the project site, examples were given by Staff where larger lot sizes were required to act as a
buffer between more rural and urban development or for neighborhood compatibility. There is
a 10,000- square foot lot minimum on the south side of Snow Road between Allen Road and Old
Farm Road that was added by City Council to a general plan amendment in 2001 because of
similar concerns raised by neighbors to preserve the rural character of the neighborhood. Lot
size minimums were also increased that range from 14,000 square feet to 18,000 square feet in
the area north of Brimhall Road and east of Old Farm Road.
Increasing urban and higher density uses make sense along Seventh Standard Road which
serves as a major transportation corridor and entrance into the City of Bakersfield. The General
Plan encourages higher housing densities along transportation corridors to help reduce vehicle
trips if adjacent to other commercial and potential employment areas.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this General Plan Amendment and
Zone Change on June 6, 2013, and recommended approval to the City Council. Commissioners
Lomas, Batey, Dodgin and Strong voted for approval, Commissioners Kirschenmann and Wade
voted "no" and Commissioner Tkac was absent. Two individuals present at the hearing
opposed the request, Mr. Clayton Camp and Mr. Stewart Fleeman. Both individuals were
concerned about the increase in density and stated it did not fit in with the rural character of
the neighborhood. They requested keeping the existing one -acre lot minimum under the
current zoning adjacent to their neighborhood.
The Commission questioned staff about leaving a gap of unimproved road on Calloway Drive
south of the project site, but no condition was added due to the concern that the
improvements would remain outside the City's jurisdiction. However, after reviewing previously
approved General Plan amendments with the same issue and finding that the City Council has
required similar gap improvements, Staff added a condition to the general plan amendment
that requires the developer to complete road improvements for the east side of Calloway Drive
between the south boundary of the GPA /ZC area and Etchart Road (adjacent to Tract 5222) to
Arterial standards. The condition also states that once this right -of -way is annexed into the City,
the developer will be given credit for constructing the three northbound lanes toward the Traffic
Impact Fee for both the Calloway Drive and the gap improvement project line items on the
Regional Transportation Facilities List. The Developer must also enter into a reimbursement
agreement with the City for median island improvements, but will be responsible for all costs
associated to the relocation of the utility lines within this area.
An appeal of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change was filed with the City Clerk on
June 17, 2013 by Mr. Clayton Camp. Mr. Camp is against allowing 18,000- square foot lots along
the property line to the south of the project, which would abut his and the other two and one
half (2'/2) acre lots. Mr. Camp wants to keep the semi -rural atmosphere of the neighborhood

by requiring one -acre lots adjacent to his subdivision, then one -half ('/2) acre lots across the
street, and then allow the smaller city -sized lots north to Seventh Standard Road.
As a result of the public hearing continuance, the applicant has worked with Mr. Camp to
address his concerns by agreeing to conditions on the general plan amendment, requiring all
lots abutting his neighborhood to have a minimum area of 22,000 square feet and a minimum
depth of 150 feet (Conditions 19 and 20, respectively), and prohibit any drainage basin within
150 feet from the south boundary of the project area (Condition 21). Additionally, the
applicant agreed to record a covenant restricting buildings to a single story on any lot abutting
Mr. Camp's neighborhood (Note: This is a private covenant between the two parties that was
not added as a condition since the existing and proposed zoning currently allows two -story
homes).
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a
significant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Negative Declaration was prepared and
posted on May 6, 2013, in accordance with CEQA.
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.

SUBJECT: Adoption of ordinance amending the Official Zoning Map in Title 17 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zone district from Planned Unit
Development to Revised Planned Unit Development on 4.65 acres located at the
southwest corner of Ming Avenue and Gosford Road. A previously adopted
Negative Declaration of PUD /ZC # 06 -0332 applies to this project. (ZC # 13 -0166 -
Mclntosh & Associates representing Castle & Cooke California, Inc., and University
Park Community Association) (Ward 5)
l: _ *1i_r*]1',1�'.Ii I730*T.
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on August 14, 2013.
On June 20, 2013, the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on this zone
change request, and recommended adoption by the City Council.
In 2006, approvals were granted for Planned Unit Development 06 -0332 consisting of 217
single - family homes on a 30.6 -acre site located at the southwest corner of Ming Avenue and
Gosford Road. A total of 97 units on the northerly half of the site were designed on individual
lots. The other 120 units on the southerly half were designed in a cluster arrangement of four
to seven units per lot sharing a common driveway.
The project has now been partially constructed under the development name of "Oxford
Cottages at University Park." A total of 50 of the "clustered" units have been built or are still
planned to be built. The developer has found that there is a preference among buyers for
the individual lot design. Therefore, they are now seeking to modify the design of the
remaining 4.65 -acre undeveloped southerly portion of the site to change from 70 "clustered"
units to 35 units on individual lots. In order to accomplish this, the Planned Unit Development
(PUD) zoning for this portion of the site must be revised to reflect this change. Figure 1 shows
the change in lot configuration.

BACKGROUND:
Assessment hearing was held on August 12, 2013, by the City Manager designee and all
proposed charges were confirmed. The subject properties listed below were in violation of
Chapter 8.27 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining open and
abandoned dilapidated structures which constitute public nuisances and prohibits maintaining

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 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.

CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Replacement of aeration blower at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 (Ward 6):
1. Resolution determining that a certain Siemens replacement aeration blower
at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 cannot be obtained through the usual
bidding procedures because of the need to integrate blower into the existing
treatment plant processes and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense
with bidding therefore, not to exceed $350,000.
2. Appropriate $350,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund balance (Wastewater Treatment
Plant No. 3) to the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution and approval of
appropriation.
BACKGROUND: Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 operates five Siemens aeration blowers for
treatment of the wastewater influent. These five aeration blowers must work in synchronization
with each other; therefore, compatible aeration blowers are necessary for the treatment of
wastewater influent.
One of the five Siemens aeration blowers experienced a catastrophic failure during its
operation and is not currently available to the treatment process. All five aeration blowers
must be operational for optimal treatment of wastewater influent. Siemens aeration blowers
are a reliable and effective product.
City staff contacted the manufacturer of the blower (Siemens Corporation) and Parsons Water
and Infrastructure Inc., the design firm for the Wastewater Expansion project. All parties concur
that the failure of the blower is not attributable to the product itself. The cause of the blower
failure was caused by mounting hardware becoming loose over time.
The manufacturer's representative, Parsons staff, and city staff concur that replacement of the
blower is the most cost effective option for the City. Similar model equipment is required for
proper operation and integration of treatment processes at the Plant. Compatible Siemens
aeration blower is only available from Siemens Corporation. Siemens has offered the City a
20% discount on the replacement blower.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
This resolution authorizes the Finance Director to dispense with normal bidding procedures in
accordance with subsection D.2 of Section 3.20.060 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code
because of the need to integrate the replacement blower into the existing treatment
processes at Plant 3.
Staff recommends the appropriation of $350,000 to fund the replacement of the aeration
blower. Sewer Enterprise Funds provide the funding source for this purchase. Therefore, there is
no General Fund impact.
The FY 13/14 proposed budget included a new service maintenance worker position. This
position will perform preventative maintenance work on Plant 3's extensive and complicated
treatment equipment. This will minimize future occurrences of this type of equipment failure.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that certain Motorola radio equipment cannot be obtained
through usual bidding procedures because of the need to integrate into the
existing Police Department Communications Center radio infrastructure and
authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed
$80,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Police Communications Dispatch Center utilizes Motorola console equipment to
interface both radio and telephone calls.
The old Windows Server 2000 operating system is no longer supported by Motorola. The
associated hardware for eleven workstations is also more than six years old and not compatible
with new Motorola software.
Sufficient funds are budgeted for the equipment. The funding source for the purchase of
hardware and software is the Fleet Management Fund, which is an Internal Service Fund.
Communication rental costs are charged to user departments (in this case the Police
Department) to ensure sufficient funds are available to replace obsolete communication
equipment once the equipment reaches the end of its useful life.

SUBJECT: A Resolution dispensing with bidding procedures due to urgent necessity to operate
the Animal Shelter.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield's current one -year operational /lease agreement with the County of Kern
for the sheltering of stray and otherwise unwanted City animals expires on September 30,
2013. The City provided the County with a written official notice to the County that their lease
and the operational agreement between the City and the County expire on September 30,
2013, thus requiring the County to vacate the current shelter by the close of business on
September 30, 2013.
In order to implement the City Council's direction to become operational as a stand -alone City
animal shelter, the City must prepare for the County's vacation from the animal shelter. The City
anticipates that in order to transfer the operation of the animal shelter from the County to the
City, City staff will need to immediately purchase necessary work, equipment, supplies and
materials, including but not limited to a phone system, freezer, computer software and
networking equipment, copiers and printers, services for sealing kennel facilities, and a pre-
fabricated administrative building (collectively "Shelter Goods and Services ").
The purchase of the Shelter Goods and Services is urgently necessary for the preservation of life,
health, and property because the animal shelter requires immediate investment to ensure the
wellbeing of the animals. Therefore, City staff needs the flexibility granted by the adoption of this
Resolution. Funding for the purchases identified in this Resolution will come from Capital Outlay
Fund projects already included in the FY 2013 -14 budget for shelter improvements. Informal bid
procedures will continue to be used to assure the best available pricing.

Language was changed and /or added to update the class summary, essential job duties,
minimum qualifications, licenses, certificates and special requirements, and physical or special
working conditions to reflect the actual job duties. Human Resources staff worked closely with
the Building Director to update the job specifications. SEIU has reviewed and approved the
revisions.
There is no budgetary impact as the salaries will remain the same. The revised job specifications
were presented and approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their July 16, 2013
meeting.
PLANNING DIVISION
In 2012 organizational consolidations were approved and implemented to merge economic
development functions into the existing Development Services Department; resulting in a newly
defined Community Development Department. These actions were in preparation of
impending changes as a result of the dissolution of Redevelopment.
Since that consolidation on -going operational analysis has been undertaken to ensure
processes and classifications complement one another in supporting department business
needs and overall operating efficiency. At this time additional redesign is being recommended
to better support daily business and staffing needs, which will have a neutral impact to current
headcount numbers and approved staffing budgets.
The department currently has two classifications, Building Permit Technician and Planning
Technician which have seemingly parallel responsibilities, essential functions and minimum
qualifications. The two classes are being consolidated into a singular class, Community
Development Technician. Utilizing a singular classification to represent these job functions
enhances the opportunity for cross - training, back -up support and overall efficiency.
In addition, the some holds true for Assistant Planner, Development Assistant and Development
Associate. A revised classification of Associate Planner 1 /11 is proposed to impact efficiency
within these classes. Those in the current class titles will be reclassified to the new corresponding
titles. Due to the placement on the salary schedule of those incumbents currently in the classes
there will be no monetary impact to the department budget at this time.
Lastly, the Principal Planner job specification has not been updated since 1989. The proposed
revision is representative of current work being performed within the job classification along with
job specification formatting. There is no salary impact or impact to personnel related to the job
specification revision.
The new job specifications were presented and approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service
Board at their July 16, 2013 meeting.

SUBJECT: Planned Drainage Area Reimbursement Agreement (not to exceed $44,993.00)
with Rio Bravo Investment Group, LLC ( "Rio Bravo "), for improvements constructed
within the Shalimar Planned Drainage Area. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: Planned Drainage Areas (PDA) are established by local ordinance and requires
a developer to pay PDA fees to defray the actual or estimated costs of constructing planned
drainage facilities for the removal of surface and storm waters from local or neighborhood
drainage areas. Developers either pay the PDA fee for a specific PDA or construct the drainage
area improvements. Occasionally, the drainage area improvements constructed by a developer
may benefit areas outside the developer's parcel, which is referred to as oversizing. In these
cases, the developer may be eligible for reimbursement of the costs of the oversizing. This
reimbursement is limited to PDA fees collected from other developers within the applicable PDA.
The reimbursement to the developer is limited to the lower of:
Actual construction costs less developer's PDA fee; or
Estimated cost of drainage area improvements as established by the PDA less developer's
PDA fee.
As a condition of Parcel Map No. 11894, Rio Bravo was required to install storm drain facilities in
Highland Knolls Drive which is within the Shalimar PDA. The Shalimar PDA was created to pay for
the drainage system serving an irregularly shaped area from SR 178 on the north to the Southern
Pacific Railroad on the south, east of Sterling Road to Shalimar Road in the south portion of the
area, and to Morning Drive in the north portion of the area.
The drainage system improvements constructed by Rio Bravo exceeded what was required for
their Parcel Map. In this case, Rio Bravo expended more for the drainage area improvements
than the estimated cost established by the Shalimar PDA. The estimated cost established by the
Shalimar PDA improvements was $67,335. The amount attributable to Rio Bravo's Parcel Map was
$22,342. Therefore, Rio Bravo is eligible for a reimbursement of $44,993. Sufficient fees have been
collected and are held in trust to cover this reimbursement. There is no General Fund impact
associated with this project.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement, amendment to an agreement and
appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
On January 23, 2013, the Bakersfield City Council adopted Resolution No. 007 -13 accepting
the Fiscal Year 2012 Federal grant funds from the Cooperative Endangered Species
Conservation Fund, which is administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The grant funds will be used to prepare documentation for the new Bakersfield Habitat
Conservation Plan (BHCP), the successor plan to the existing Metropolitan Bakersfield
Habitat Conservation Plan that expires in August 2014. The first listed agreement will allow
the City to receive grant monies of $694,852 from the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife. The Federal grant funds accepted in January 2012 are administered by the State
Department of Fish and Game. The draft funding agreement was only received from the
State Department of Fish and Game recently.
Item 2 for consideration is an amendment to an existing agreement with the ICF Jones and
Stokes to continue work on the BHCP. On January 11, 2012, the City of Bakersfield approved

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Agreement 12 -022 hiring ICF Jones & Stokes to assist planning the BHCP (Phase 1 of the
BHCP Planning process). ICF Jones and Stokes provided excellent service in fulfilling the
tasks outlined in Phase 1 and met all timeline goals. Phase I work was completed in
November 2012 and consisted of the compilation of required background studies and
reports.
Because Fiscal Year 2012 grant funds will be utilized to complete Phase 2, it has been
determined that ICF Jones and Stokes was the best qualified consultant to complete Phase
2 due to their previous work on Phase 1. Agreement 12 -022 will be amended to include the
work for Phase 2, which will entail development of the draft BHCP and the beginning of the
associated environmental review documentation. The fee proposal from ICF Jones &
Stokes is for $684,683. The remainder of the grant funds will be used for additional expenses
in document preparation. The grant has a matching fund requirement, which will be met
through staff time in working on this project. Work on Phase 2 will commence immediately
when these contracts are finalized. It is expected that the work on Phase 2 will extend
through October 2015.

Major Overhaul and Repair of Centrifuge No. 4 at Wastewater Treatment Plant No.
3 (Ward 6):
1. Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 12 -133 with Centrisys Corporation
($125,000; revised not to exceed $325,000) for major overhaul and repair of
Centrifuge No. 4.
2. Appropriate $125,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund balance (Wastewater Treatment
Plant No. 3) to the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 operates four centrifuges for the processing of
wastewater biosolids at the Plant. Because of the specialized nature of this equipment, a Request
for Qualifications was issued in April 2012 for on -call maintenance services for the centrifuges. On
October 17, 2012, Agreement No. 12 -133 with Centrisys Corporation was approved. This $100,000
Agreement provided for on -call maintenance for the centrifuges that perform dewatering at
Plant 3. Dewatering refers to a sludge treatment process that removes water from the sludge
and allows the sludge to be handled and disposed of per the guidelines set forth in Plant 3's
State Water Resources Control Board Permit. Centrifuges require major maintenance and must
be performed by a qualified company that specializes in this work.
On April 17, 2013, Amendment No. 1 was approved which increased the compensation clause
by $100,000 to continue the specialized repair and service maintenance to the centrifuges in an
efficient and timely manner. Centrifuge Nos. 1, 2, and 3 have been overhauled and function at
optimal levels.
The five -year CIP Plan includes $125,000 in FY 15/16 to overhaul centrifuge No. 4. Staff
recommends expediting the overhaul of this centrifuge. Centrisys has provided excellent service
in the overhauling of the other three centrifuges. Currently, centrifuge 4 is dormant since it is in
need of a major overhaul. The overhaul of centrifuge 4 will allow the City to enhance its current
sludge handling treatment and practices in accordance with regulations mandated by the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Additionally, depending upon biosolid levels in
the digesters, the three working centrifuges may have to be placed into operation during the
weekends. When this occurs, trucks must be available to haul and spread the biosolids. Once

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
centrifuge No. 4 becomes available, the need for centrifuge use during the weekend is
significantly reduced. Additionally, there will be less "wear and tear" on the other three
centrifuges.
Centrifuges are a critical part of the treatment of influent. Centrifuges are complicated pieces of
equipment with many interrelated parts. Major maintenance is performed after the centrifuges
have reached a milestone in the number of hours operated. Due to harsh environments that the
centrifuges operate under, this maintenance is required every three years. Additionally, in order
to minimize major maintenance costs in the future, Centrisys will train City staff on specialized
maintenance that is required every three years on the centrifuge equipment.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to allow Centrisys to overhaul the last
remaining centrifuge.
Sewer Enterprise Funds provide the funding source for this agreement. Therefore, there is no
General Fund impact.

necessary voltage to all the street lights and as such this wiring will need to be upgraded to #2
wiring in order to prevent excess voltage drop. The contractor has agreed to provide the LED
street light fixtures and the upgrade to #2 wiring for a lump sum of $12,904.87.
During the course the project, it was discovered that additional roadway traffic striping (Detail
2713), which was not on the original plans, needs to be added in order to conform to the
standards in the Municipal Uniform Traffic Control Devices manual. The contractor has agreed
to provide this additional striping at a total cost of $452.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Due to the roadway redesign and in order to construct the project per the plans and
specifications, there were several contract item quantities that had to be either increased or
decreased. These adjustments will result in a net decrease of ($94,434.54).
This is the first change order to be submitted for this project. This change order will increase the
project total by $10,968.84 (which results in a 1.3% increase of the original contract amount) as
illustrated below:
Original Contract Amount = $854,673.00
Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $865,641.84
Net Increase to date = $ 10,968.84
Sufficient funds are budgeted to fund this Change Order. This project is funded with
assessment district bond proceeds. Therefore, there is no General Fund impact associated with
this Change Order.

SUBJECT: Accept bid from Cyber Computers in the amount of $91,022.50 for one hundred
(100) replacement Lenovo desktop computers for the Information Technology
Division. (Citywide)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were solicited for Lenovo desktop computers. Fifteen (15)
bids were received in response to the solicitation. The low bid received from Cyber
Computers is considered acceptable by staff.
The computers to be replaced are over 5 years old. As the computers reach their end of
lifecycle, they start to develop issues with several internal parts and many times are unable to
handle the workload. Many of the programs used by the City have been upgraded to newer
versions which require more resources than the older computers can provide. Staff considers
availability of replacement parts and age of the equipment to determine recommendation
for replacement.
Funds are budgeted in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase of one hundred
(100) Lenovo desktop computers.

the Capital Outlay Fund respectively.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid, approval of contract,
appropriations, and transfer.
BACKGROUND: This project consists of improving the pedestrian access routes along Columbus
Street from River Boulevard to Baylor Street, and along Brundage Lane from Cedar Street to
South H Street by installing pedestrian access ramps and sidewalks. The Engineer's Estimate for
the project is $146,000.
The project is predominantly funded through Transportation Development Act Article 3 grant
funds. Article 3 funds provide $154,000 of funding for this project. However, local funds of
$2,605 are needed to fully fund the construction contract. Additionally, local funds are
needed for potential change orders, construction inspection services, and other
miscellaneous costs. Staff recommends the appropriation of $25,000 of property tax
administration fee refund to cover costs beyond available Article 3 funding. This project is
exempt from prevailing wage requirements.

Mohawk St. Improvements From Rosedale Hwy to Siena Lane (Ward 3 & County):
1. Accept bid and approve contract to Granite Construction Company
($3,017,932.00).
2. Appropriate $1,000,000 State Local Partnership Program Grant funds and
$1,500,000 Transportation Development Fund balance to the Public Works
Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the Transportation
Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid, and approval of contract
and appropriations.
BACKGROUND: The Mohawk Street Improvement project will construct public street
improvements (four 12 -foot lanes, six -foot shoulders, a precast concrete bridge over the
Calloway Canal, and modification of the traffic signal at Rosedale Highway) on Mohawk
Street north of Rosedale Highway, which will improve the traffic circulation pattern for this
northwest area. Siena Lane is approximately 0.55 miles south of Hageman Road. This project
will provide access on Mohawk Street from Rosedale Highway to Hageman Road. In addition,
at the request of the City Water Department, a 16 -inch domestic water pipeline will be
installed.
Funding sources for this project include:
Developer Contribution, World Oil - The May 1, 2013 City Council meeting included the
appropriation of $1.4 Million of developer contribution for the Mohawk Street
Improvement, from Rosedale Highway to Siena Lane project. $501,000 of this amount
was used to fund a settlement agreement entered into with Tricor Energy for the
reimbursement of costs to remove, relocate, and reconstruct an oil well, pumps, power
lines, pipelines, waterlines, and other equipment that were in conflict with this project.
The remaining amount of $899,000 was to be applied towards the construction of this
project. In addition, staff anticipates additional funding of $400,000 from the developer.
However, as a fiscal conservative measure, this amount will not be appropriated since
the City has not yet received the funds. Once funds are received, these funds will be
used to offset the project's cost.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
• Proposition 1 B's competitive State Local Partnership Program (SLPP) - This project was
awarded $1 Million of funding by the California Transportation Commission. The SLPP
funding source requires a dollar for dollar match of SLPP funds and local developer
fees. The City has until September 30, 2013, to award a construction contract or the City
would have to forfeit the $1 Million of SLPP funding.
City Water Department - Water Department staff requested that this project include a
water main extension. The City would realize savings from including the water main
extension with the Mohawk Improvement project since crews and equipment required
for the water main extension work would already be mobilized. The water main
extension's share of the bid was $431,250 and is currently included in the Water
Department's CIP budget. Therefore, no additional appropriation is needed for this
item.
Transportation Development Fund Balance - The above three funding sources total
$2,330,250 for this project. An additional $687,682 is needed to fully fund this
construction contract. Staff recommends the appropriation of $1.5 Million
Transportation Development Fund balance to cover this $687,682 in addition to
potential change orders, construction inspection services, materials testing, and utility
relocation contingencies. Utility relocation costs involve three different entities
(Paramount Petroleum Corporation, PG&E, and San Joaquin Facilities Management, a
subsidiary of Tricor Energy LLC). Funds for the initial cost estimates from these three
entities have previously been appropriated. However, the reimbursement to these three
entities will be based upon actual relocation costs. Therefore, staff recommends
appropriating contingency funding in the case actual costs exceed the initial
estimates.
On August 23, 2013, a total of four bids were received; all of which are acceptable. The

1. Appropriate $499,987 federal CDBG grant funds to the Operating and

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendments.
BACKGROUND:
At the time the FY 2013/14 Budget was prepared, reductions were expected to the annual HUD
funded budgets due to the federal sequestration. However, the final FY2013/14 allocations for
the CDBG and HOME funds were greater than expected and the final allocations for the ESG
funds were lower than anticipated. On July 17, 2013, City Council approved FY 2013/14 Action
Plan Amendment No. 1 which reflected the final budget allocations from HUD and as a result
the FY2013/14 Operating and Capital Budgets need to be amended accordingly.

2013 National Night Out on August 6, 2013 and to provide Child Passenger Safety Technician
Training to Kern County Law Enforcement personnel.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends acceptance of the grant money and the appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
Target is deeply committed to extending a hand of partnership to law enforcement and criminal
justice organizations. As part of this commitment, Target established the Law Enforcement Grant
Program in 1990 to provide grants to law enforcement agencies serving the community.
The Bakersfield Police Department has been awarded two $1,000 grants. One to provide
educational materials, crime prevention promotional items and food /drinks at the 2013 National
Night Out Against Crime; and one to host a Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Technician training
event, to certify approximately 20 people as technicians and one technician as an instructor.
"National Night Out Against Crime" is the nation's largest annual crime prevention event with
over 14,625 communities from all fifty states participating with their local law enforcement
agencies. The event is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate
support for the participation in local anti -crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police -
community partnerships throughout the city; and send a message to criminals letting them know
neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Trained CPS Technicians help law enforcement to educate parents and caregivers on the proper
use and installation of child restraint systems for their vehicles, to reduce the rate of injury and
death to children as a result of vehicle collisions.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $8,000 Other State Shared Revenues from the Kern County Remote
Access Network (RAN) to the General Fund Police Operating Budget, to purchase
a workstation for the newly created Latent Print Examiner positions, and to provide
latent print training to BPD Crime Lab personnel.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
On April 8, 2013, the Remote Access Network (RAN) Board of Kern County approved their
FY2013 -14 budget, which includes provision to fully fund a Latent Print Examiner position in the
Bakersfield Police Department (BPD). On April 17, 2013, the Bakersfield City Council approved
the job specification, salary and benefits for the position of Latent Print Examiner. This position
was included in the adopted FY2013 -14 General Fund Police Budget.
The Latent Print Examiner (LPE) is a specialized position assigned to the BPD Crime Lab. This
position is responsible for performing latent print analysis for prosecution of criminal cases in a
court of law, determining the usability of latent prints, and entering them into the Automated
Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), as well as other work as required.
In addition to salary and benefits, the RAN Board has also budgeted monies to equip the new
LPE with a desk, chair, computer equipment, and to fund training. Therefore, an appropriation
of $8,000 to the General Fund Police Operating Budget is requested. Salaries, benefits, training
and equipment purchases will be reimbursed by the RAN board on a quarterly basis.
The RAN Board of Kern County was established in 1989 per Penal Code (PC 11112.1- 11112.7),
which calls for a master plan to facilitate a uniform statewide network of equipment and
procedures allowing local law enforcement agencies direct access to the California
Identification System (Cal -ID). Cal -ID is the automated system maintained by the Department
of Justice for retaining fingerprint files and identifying latent fingerprints.

cqIFOL'�,
The RAN board is composed of seven members (per PC11 1 12.4 b), as follows: a member of the
board of supervisors, the sheriff, the district attorney, the chief of police of the department
having the largest number of sworn personnel within the county, a second chief selected by all
other police chiefs within the county, a mayor elected by the city selection committee
established pursuant to Section 50270 of the Government Code, and a member -at -large
chosen by the other members.
The RAN board has two sources of funding, both of which have strict parameters determining
their appropriation: (1) One dollar ($1.00) from vehicle registration fee to finance additional
automated fingerprint equipment intended for applicant and criminal processing and for digital
photo equipment (per AB 674); and (2) fifty cents ($0.50) for every ten dollars ($10) or fraction
thereof for every fine, penalty, or forfeiture imposed and collected by the courts for criminal
offenses, including all offenses involving a violation of the Vehicle Code or any local ordinance
adopted pursuant to the Vehicle Code except offenses relating to parking or registration or
offenses by pedestrians or bicyclists, or where an order is made to pay a sum of the general
fund of the county pursuant to subparagraph (c) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section
258 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
The monies collected by the courts together with any interest earned thereon are held by the
County Treasurer in a separate Automated Fingerprint Identification Fund (pursuant to Section
1463 of the Penal Code), and can only be used to pay for the purchase, lease, operation,
including personnel and related costs, and maintenance of automated fingerprint equipment
and digital image photographic equipment, replacement of existing automated fingerprint
equipment, digital image photographic equipment, and other equipment needed for the
suspect booking process, and for the reimbursement of local agencies within the county which

SUBJECT: Appropriate $20,000 Federal Grant Revenue to the Fire Department Operating
Budget within the Metropolitan Medical Response System Fund for Hazardous
Materials Specialist Training.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
On January 11, 2012, the City Council accepted and appropriated the Homeland Security
Grants on behalf of the Kern Operational Area and approved Resolution No. 006 -12 and the
Memorandum of Understanding No. 12 -013 with the County of Kern. The Resolution appointed
the City Manager as the City agent and the Memorandum of Understanding allowed the City,
on behalf of the Kern Operational, to use FY201 1 State Homeland Security Grant funds for the
procurement of specialized equipment for the "Bakersfield Fire Department Mobile Command
Team Communications Project" and the "City of Bakersfield FY201 1 MMRS Project."
The MMRS grant allows funding for personnel to develop plans required to support the MMRS
program and specialized training for personnel as approved by the California Emergency
Management Agency. The total award of MMRS grant funds was $281,693 of which the
Council approved the appropriations of $75,000 for equipment and $26,693 for continuation
education and training. $180,000 of the MMRS grant funds is for program development and
coordination with the majority of these grant funds used to fund the Bakersfield Fire
Department's Administrative Battalion Chief position for $160,000. These funds are included in
the Fire Department's operating budget and do not need to be appropriated.
We are recommending the appropriation of the remaining balance of the MMRS grant $20,000
in program development and coordination funding. The County has approved the use of these
funds for Hazardous Materials Specialist Training, and Fire department staff will be attending
training in Fall of 2013.

SUBJECT: Transfer and appropriate $19,000 General Fund Balance (Property Tax Admin Fee
Refund) to the Recreation and Parks Capital Improvement Budget within the
Capital Outlay Fund for the installation of synthetic turf at City Hall North (ward 2).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends transfer and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The landscaping for City Hall North is located directly above the parking structure located in the
basement. The irrigation of the natural turf that surrounds the building along Eye Street and
Truxtun Avenue has created structural issues due to water penetrating the concrete deck for the
parking structure below. Water is consistently penetrating through several cracks in the concrete
deck and is causing issues with both the surface walkways and the ceiling within the parking
structure that will eventually lead to deterioration and likely require extensive repairs.
Public Works has worked with Recreation and Parks to reduce the amount of irrigation by
installing bubblers adjacent to the plants to isolate the water to the plants only in the planter
areas. Also, General Services installed French drains and drain lines to collect storm water from
the roof drains a couple of years ago to alleviate excess water from the area. Despite these
efforts, the problem still persists.
Staff is proposing the installation of synthetic turf along the frontage of Eye Street and Truxtun
Avenue to significantly reduce the watering of the landscaping over the parking structure;
watering will be limited to the planter areas only. The irrigation for the planter areas are mainly
bubblers which provide water to the plants only. In addition, the synthetic turf will reduce mowing
costs and water consumption of the facility. Staff has monitored a test strip for two months and
has received positive feedback on appearance and performance.
The transfer and appropriation of $19,000 General Fund Balance (Property Tax Admin Fee
Refund) to the Recreation and Parks Capital Improvement Budget within the Capital Outlay Fund
will cover the cost to secure a contractor to provide and install synthetic turf.

SUBJECT: City Positions on 2013 Proposed League of California Cities' Resolutio
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends acceptance of recommendations.
BACKGROUND:
Councilmember Maxwell, as Chair of the Legislative and Litigation Committee, requested that
the City Manager and City Attorney review the proposed League of California Cities resolutions
to be considered at the 2013 Annual Conference and to forward the staff recommendations to
the City Council for direction.
Staff typically recommends a position of support, oppose, or remain neutral for each resolution,
as appropriate. For 2013, the League has issued two resolutions for consideration. The City
Manager and City Attorney, with input from appropriate staff, are forwarding these
recommendations to Council for approval and direction to the City's Conference Voting
Delegate to vote accordingly. The resolutions packet, which includes further detail of each
resolution, is attached with this Administrative Report for the Council's reference.
The resolutions, as approved by the General Assembly at the Annual Conference, will provide
policy guidance for the League during the upcoming year. The guidelines issued by the League
state, in part, that only issues having a direct bearing on municipal affairs should be considered,
and that the issue is not of a purely local or regional concern. Based on those criteria, the
recommendations of the City Manager and City Attorney, with consultation from appropriate
staff, are as follows:
Proposed Resolution Recommendation
• Resolution Calling Upon the Governor and the Legislature to
Work with the League in Providing Adequate Funding and to
Prioritize Water Bonds to Assist Local Government in Water
Conservation, Ground Water Recharge, and Reuse of
Stormwater and Urban Runoff Programs Neutral

As the City's representative, the Voting Delegate has the authority to forward the Council's
agenda, as proposed resolutions may change during the course of the Annual Conference, in
keeping with the Council's historical directive.

SUBJECT: Public hearing on Resolution of Necessity ( "RON ") to determine the public
interest and necessity for acquisition of certain real property located at the
southwest corner of Rosedale Highway and Coffee Road, Bakersfield,
California. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1240.010) (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
The Project: The City of Bakersfield, in cooperation with the County of Kern and the California
Department of Transportation, is planning a widening and improvement project for Rosedale
Highway west of State Route 99. The project proposes construction of two additional lanes (one
in each direction) between Allen Road and Gibson Street. East of Gibson Street, the project
would modify lane striping and the median to transition to the existing lane configuration. As a
result, State Route 58 would be a six -lane highway from Allen Road to State Route 99. Other
improvements would include minor changes, such as restriping approach lanes to provide an
additional turn lane on the street side approaches to State Route 58.
The Property to be Acquired: The property required is located at the southwest corner of
Rosedale Highway and Coffee Road and is legally described in Exhibit "1" to the attached
Resolution of Necessity ( "RON ") and identified as Kern County Assessor's Parcel Number 368-
010-03 and includes the necessary acquisition and temporary construction easement (the
"Property "). Pacific Gas and Electric Company is the owner of the Property. The Property is
approximately 37,076 square feet in size, is unoccupied and undeveloped, and will not require
the relocation of any owners or occupants.
Flndinsis: In order to acquire property from a property owner, the City must adopt a RON
authorizing the initiation of an eminent domain action. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1245.220.) In
adopting the RON, the Council must find that the following "pre- condemnation" requirements
are met. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1245.230.) Here, each of these requirements is met:
1. The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project.
The proposed project is needed to accommodate existing and projected travel demand along
the State Route 58 corridor. The project extends through the urban core area of metropolitan
Bakersfield and is a heavily used roadway that provides access to employment and
commercial uses within the city. The project is needed to accommodate planned growth, as
set forth in the general plans for the City of Bakersfield and Kern County.
2. The Project is Planned or Located in the Manner that Will Be Most Compatible with the
Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Iniurv.
The expanded capacity and improvement in traffic circulation that will result from the Project
will alleviate the congestion and reduce delays along the route that presently inhibits east -west
travel between Highway 99 and Allen Road.
3. The Property is Necessary for the Proposed Project.
The property is within the required right -of -way for the widening and future right turn lane onto
Coffee Road. The rights to be acquired are necessary to meet Caltrans standards for safety in
constructing highways. In order to certify the project to Caltrans to proceed and obtain
funding approval, all right -of -way issues must be addressed and secured, including parcel
frontage acquisitions.
4. The Offer Required by Section 7267.2 of the California Government Code was Made to
the Owner of Record of the Property.
The City engaged an independent licensed appraiser to appraise the Property and to
determine just compensation based on the Property's "Fair Market Value." A written offer at
the full amount of appraised just compensation ($61,000) was made to the property owner on
or about June 18, 2013. The offer included an Appraisal Summary Statement and other
information required by section 7267.2 of the California Government Code.
The Process: If the Resolution is adopted, the City will:
1. File an eminent domain action in Kern County seeking the necessary interests in the
Property;
2. Request that the court grant early possession of the Property; and
3. If necessary, proceed with the eminent domain action through trial to determine any
unresolved issues, including just compensation.
Throughout the process, the City will remain open to an informal resolution of the matter without
the need for litigation.

Resolution to Amend Development Agreement ( #07 -310) with Castle & Cooke
California Inc. and Bolthouse Properties LLC (West Ming Specific Plan). Ward 5
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In August 2007, the City entered into a Development Agreement ( #07 -310) (the "Agreement ")
with Castle & Cooke California Inc., and Bolthouse Properties LLC regarding the future
development of approximately 2,180 acres of land in west Bakersfield, more commonly known
as the West Ming Specific Plan area (the "Area ").
The Agreement is quite broad in scope. It provides the developers with certain assurances
regarding the future development of their property and, in exchange, provides the City with
the ability to collect certain fees and special taxes to help mitigate various impacts this future
development will have on City infrastructure, facilities, and services.
Under the existing terms of the Agreement, a Community Facilities District ( "CFD ") must be
formed to facilitate the collection of fees and special taxes regarding the operation and
maintenance of police and fire facilities and services, including salary and benefits of
personnel, as well as finance capital costs related to those facilities, required by new
residential development within the Area. After the CFD is formed, the existing terms of the
Agreement provide for owners of new residential property within the Area to pay, on their
property tax bill, an annual special tax through 2027 to help offset the cost of fire and police
protection services required by the new development within the Area.
Revision No. 1. As a result of new legislation and case law regarding tax exempt financing
assistance to developers for public infrastructure since the adoption of the Agreement, Staff
and the developers have determined that the scope of the CFD should be limited to services
only and not infrastructure or facilities since financing public infrastructure or facilities could
trigger prevailing wage requirements on any improvements constructed by the developer.
Staff has determined that existing police and fire facilities adjacent to the Area are adequate
to service the Area, and owners of residential property within the Area will fund, through the
CFD, additional police and fire services utilizing those existing facilities. The Amendment then is
consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan and the West Ming Specific Plan.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Revision No. 2. The existing Agreement also provides that the obligation of any residential
property owner within the Area to pay the special tax through the CFD terminates in 2027
regardless of when the special tax obligation first begins. This ambiguity in the Agreement is
inconsistent with the City's intent when the Agreement was originally approved. To clarify this
ambiguity, the termination date and other CFD provisions need to be amended to allow for
the special taxes to be assessed for a full twenty -year period from the date each residential
permit is pulled.
The following table illustrates the effect the current provisions have on the assessment of the
special tax for the CFD compared to the effect the proposed amended language has on
those some fees:
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council approve Amendment No. 1 of the Agreement to limit the
scope of the CFD to services only and clarify the termination date of the Agreement and the
scope of the special tax obligation to provide for a full twenty -year assessment of the special
tax on each residence within the Area.
The Government Code requires that both the Planning Commission and the City Council
conduct public hearings on any development agreement amendments. On September 5,
2013, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended that the City
Council adopt a resolution amending the Agreement.
The developer and current property owners have consented to this Amendment. There are
no existing residential property owners currently impacted by the proposed revisions to the
Agreement.
During New Business on the September 11, 2013 agenda, the Council will be asked to take the
actions necessary to complete the formation of the CFD within the parameters set forth in the
Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 1, if the Council approves the amendment.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council take the necessary actions to form the City of Bakersfield Police
and Fire Services Community Facilities District No. 2013 -1.
BACKGROUND:
In August 2007, the City entered into a Development Agreement ( #07 -310) (the "Agreement ")
with Castle & Cooke California Inc., and Bolthouse Properties LLC regarding the future
development of approximately 2,180 acres of land in west Bakersfield, more commonly known
as the West Ming Specific Plan area (the "Area "). Pursuant to prior Council action during the
September 11, 2013 Consent Calendar Public Hearing portion of the agenda, the Agreement
has been amended as described below.
Under the terms of the Agreement, as amended, a Community Facilities District ( "CFD ") must
be formed to facilitate the collection of fees and special taxes regarding the operation and
maintenance of police and fire services, including salary and benefits of personnel, required
by new residential development within the Area. Once the CFD is formed, owners of each
residential unit within the Area will pay, on their property tax bill, $287 per year for the first 10
years after a building permit is pulled for each residential unit and then $174 per year for the
next 10 years. This special tax will help offset the cost of fire and police protection services
required by new development within the Area.
FORMATION PROCESS:
The formation process requires that the Council conduct a public hearing on the formation
and then take action on three separate resolutions followed by first reading of an ordinance.
Specifically, the formation process requires the following:

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
3.
Adopt a Resolution calling for a special mailed - ballot election of existing property
owners with the CFD.
Even though the Council will have already formed the CFD and approved the levying
of the special tax, the existing property owners must conduct an election approving the
levying of the special tax and establishing the maximum amount of the special taxes
collected that can be spent for police and fire services. The Rate and Method of
Apportionment, attached as Exhibit D to the Resolution forming the CFD, outlines the
recommended cap on the amount of the estimated special taxes collected that should
be expended.
4.
Adopt a Resolution declaring the results of the special mailed- ballot election.
The existing property owners within the CFD have waived any election formalities and
submitted to the City Clerk completed ballots on all necessary issues. In reviewing those
ballots, the City Clerk has determined that 100% of the existing property owners have
approved the levying of the special tax and the maximum amount of the special taxes
collected that can be spent for police and fire services.
5.
First Reading of Ordinance levying the special tax within the CFD.
This final action levies the special tax and directs the City Manager or designee to
determine the correct special tax to be assessed pursuant to the Rate and Method of
Apportionment. Second reading of the ordinance is scheduled to occur on September
25, 2013. The ordinance will be effective 30 days after that.
