SUBJECT: AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS - MAY 8, 2002 COUNCIL MEETING
PRE-MEETING
There is one workshop, which will be an overview of the Proposed FY 2002-03 Budget by the City
Manager's office.
APPOINTMENTS
There will be one appointment to the Historic Preservation Committee.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Consent Calendar items are explained by Administrative Reports. Those that should be highlighted
include:
Ordinances:
Item 8c. First Reading of Ordinances amending the Municipal Code relating to oil well drillinq/production.
There are three Ordinances involved: #1 Amends and repeals a chapter relative to oil and mineral drilling
and production; #2 Amends and adds sections relative to oil wells and production; and #3 Amends
chapters relative to the Drilling Island District and Petroleum Extraction combining District. The purpose of
the proposed amendments is fourfold: 1) to consolidate the oil and mineral drilling and production
regulations contained in various chapters of the Municipal Code into one chapter and to reduce
redundancy; 2) delete text that limits application of some regulations to areas annexed after 1998; 3)
improve and clarify development standards and; 4) provide additional notice to operators of record as
listed with the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources.
On April 4, 2002, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on these proposed amendments, which
are based on changes reviewed by the Urban Development Committee and the Planning Commission's
Oil Well/Drilling Operations Committee. Only one person spoke during the Planning Commission hearing.
In response to the comments, additional wording was included to clarify that as urban development
encroaches upon existing petroleum facilities, the proposed urban development must integrate the existing
petroleum facilities to satisfy the development standards, including, but not limited to, setbacks. Staff has
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
MAY 3, 2002
PAGE 2
determined the proposed ordinance amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061
(b)(3), general rule.
Item 8d. First Reading of an Ordinance amending sections and deletinq a chapter of the Municipal Code
relatinq to administrative appeals. One Council goal is to streamline Council meetings. The Ordinance
changes provide that decisions on the Business License Tax, route designations for interstate trucks and
the permitting of parades with which an applicant disagrees, are appealable to the City Manager or his
designee rather than Council. In the case of Business License Taxes, Council will continue to hear any
appeal from the City Manager's decision. The chapter proposed for deletion is entitled "Insect Pests" as
the control of insects has, for some time, been a matter outside the City's jurisdiction.
Item Se. Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). Staff recommends: 1) adoption of a Resolution
of Intention to approve Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 97-39 with the Board of Administration of the
Public Employees' Retirement System; and 2) first reading of an Ordinance authorizing an Amendment to
the Contract of Administration of PERS for local miscellaneous members. The amendment implements a
recent change to the City's agreement with the Blue and White Collar, Miscellaneous Supervisory and
Miscellaneous Management units related to Public Employees' Retirement Law (3% at age 60 Full
Formula.) The recently negotiated agreements provide that the City will pay the additional 1% employee
cost. Due to the funding level at this time, there will be no additional cost to the City or employees for this
benefit until FY 2004-05. This is the first reading of the Ordinance. The second reading, by law, must be
at least 20 days from the first, so the second reading will be June 12, 2002. The Ordinance should take
effect 30 days from then. Therefore, the estimated date when eligible employees may take advantage of
the 3% at 60 retirement program is July 15, 2002.
Resolutions:
Item Bf. Resolution of Intention to add territory (Morroco) to the Consolidated Maintenance District, and
preliminarily adoptinq, confirminq and approving Public Works Director's Report. A letter was received
from a property owner requesting inclusion into the Maintenance District. This will provide for
maintenance of median and street landscaping. The letter waives the public hearing on the matter and
allows the City to expedite the process. The owner also submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating
consent to the assessments.
Item 8.q. Resolution of Intention to establish a Traffic Signal Maintenance District (Calloway, Ha.qeman
NE) and preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public Works Director's Report. A letter was
received from a property owner requesting formation of a maintenance district for the purpose of operation
and maintenance of a traffic signal on Calloway Drive, north of Hageman Road at the entrance to the
proposed RiverLakes Plaza Shopping Center. On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved
Resolution 161-94 which provides for the collection of maintenance and operating costs for future
"convenience" traffic signals through maintenance districts. The proposed traffic signal is considered a
convenience traffic signal since it is not required by the Traffic Authority to regulate traffic flow, but is
installed solely for the benefit of the adjacent parcels. This maintenance district will be a separate district
and will not be merged into the Consolidated Maintenance District. The letter, and accompanying
Proposition 218 ballot, waives the public hearing on the matter and allows the City to expedite the
process.
Item 8h. Resolution of Intention to add territory (Kern Canyon Road) to the Consolidated Maintenance
District and preliminarily adoptinq, confirming and approving Public Works Director's Report. A letter was
received from a property owner requesting inclusion into the Maintenance District. This will provide for

maintenance of a public park and street landscaping. The letter waives the public hearing on the matter
and allows the City to expedite the process. The owner also submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating
consent to the assessments.
Item 8i. Resolution of Intention preliminarily adoptinq, confirming and approving Public Works Director's
report for the Consolidated Maintenance District and the 2002-2003 budget; setting time and place for
hearinq protests on the amount of street and median landscaping assessments to be levied throuqhout the
Consolidated Maintenance District. This year all new territories were added directly to the Consolidated
Maintenance District at the time of their formation. Last year the City Council approved a 7.3% subsidy for
the cost of street and median maintenance for City assessments. This percentage represents the level of
general benefit for street and median maintenance for parcels outside the Consolidated Maintenance
District. This year, assessment rates will not be increased. The Resolution sets the protest hearing for
the Council meeting on Wednesday, June 12, 2002, at 7:00 P.M
Item 8i. Resolution of Intention preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public Works Director's
report for the Consolidated Maintenance District and the 2002-2003 budget; setting time and place for
hearinq protests on the amount of park landscaping assessments to be levied throughout the
Consolidated Maintenance District. This year all new territories were added directly to the Consolidated
Maintenance District at the time of their formation. Last year the City Council approved a 66% subsidy for
the cost of park maintenance for City assessments. This percentage represents the level of general
benefit for park maintenance for parcels outside the Consolidated Maintenance District. This year,
assessment rates will not be increased. The Resolution sets the protest hearing for the Council meeting
on Wednesday, June 12, 2002, at 7:00 P.M.
Item 8k. Resolution of Intention preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public Works Director's
report for the Traffic Siqnal Maintenance Districts and the 2002-2003 budgets; settinq time and place for
hearin~ protests on the amount of assessments to be levied throughout each of the Traffic Siqnal
Maintenance Districts. Since the approval of Resolution 161-94 on September 28, 1994, which provides
for the collection of maintenance and operating costs for "convenience" traffic signals, the Council has
approved eight Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts. The Municipal Code requires an annual hearing to
set the assessments for each parcel. To simplify the hearing process, the hearings for all eight districts
will be combined. Budgets for each district will remain separate. Assessments are not being increased for
any of the eight districts. All districts are therefore exempt from the procedures and approval process of
Proposition 218. This resolution sets the protest hearing for the Council meeting on Wednesday, June 12,
2002.
Item 81. Resolution of Intention to order the vacation of 5t~ Street from "R" Street to west of the Kern Island
Canal. The Economic and Community Development Department on behalf of the Bakersfield Senior
Center (BSC) is requesting vacation of the remaining portion of 5~h Street between "R" Street and the Kern
Island Canal. The purpose is to acquire property on the north side of 5t~ Street for the development of an
80 unit senior housing project, which is projected for completion by June 2002. The vacated portion of 5~
Street is incorporated in the proposed 2.77 acre site for the project. The Fire, Police, Public Works, and
Development Services Departments have been notified and none have posted any objection. Alt utility
companies serving the general area have been notified by mail and none have objected, as long as
adequate easements are provided for existing facilities. Both P.G.&E. and California Water Service
Company have underground facilities located in the area that may require relocation. On April 19, 2001,
the Planning Commission found the proposed acquisition and vacation consistent with the 2010 General
Plan. This Resolution of Intention sets the date of June 26, 2002 for the public.

Item 8m. Resolution determininq that an Autoscope Machine-Vision Detection System for traffic control
cannot be reasonably obtained throuqh the usual biddinq procedures and authorizing the Finance Director
to dispense with bidding thereof; not to exceed $3021500 for eleven (11} systems. Autoscope Machine-
Vision Detection Systems operate at traffic signal intersections as alternatives to in-ground detector loop
systems, which require frequent maintenance. The Autoscope Systems will be integrated into the City's
Traffic Operation Center and offers the capability of real time video feed of the intersection back to the
Traffic Operation Center. Autoscope is a proprietary traffic management system, and has granted an
exclusive license to sell to Econolite Control Products, Inc. making this company the sole source for this
system. Previous efforts to include purchase of the Machine-Vision Detection System as part of the base
bid for a traffic signal project has led to high markup costs by the contractor, resulting in increased costs.
Because of this product's restricted availability, high contractor markup costs and need to integrate the
product into an existing City system, purchase of this item does not lend itself to normal bidding
procedures. The contractor will install the system, and programming will be done by trained City crews at
the following locations: Gosford Road at Distdct Blvd., Gosford Road at White Lane, Gosford Road at
South Laurelglen Blvd., Gosford Road at Westwold Drive, Gosford Road at Ming Avenue, Gosford Road at
Camino Media, Gosford Road at Kroll Way, Gosford Road at Stockdale Hwy., Panama Lane at Akers
Road, Ming Avenue at New Stine, and Ming Avenue at Ashe Road. Funding of the Systems will be
included in the funding of the roadway rehabilitation or street improvement projects.
Item 8o. Changes to Salary Schedule and Revised Job Specifications. At the request of the Public Works
Director, the job specification for Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab Technician and Operator was reviewed
and updated in light of changes made by the State Water Resources Control Board. The salary will
remain the same. CCAPE concurs with the proposed revision. The revised job specification was
approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board on April 16, 2002.
Agreements:
Item 8q. Consultant's Agreement with Luster National, Inc., $177,560, to conduct program and
construction management services for the Westside Parkway preiect. On April 5, 2002, the California
Transportation Commission (CTC) has approved the 2002 State Transportation Improvement Program.
The City, as the lead agency has received and accepted a proposal from Luster National, Inc. to assist in
project management for the Westside Parkway project due to its size and complexity.
Item 8r. Transportation Impact Fee Aqreement with Centex Homes for Tract 6048 (Estimated Impact Fee
Credit - $35,403~, located north of Olive Drive and east of Calloway Drive. Centex Homes has constructed
a portion of Jewetta Avenue between Olive Drive and Snow Road in association with their Tract 5829.
Transportation Impact Fee credit is available for one south bound lane on this portion of Jewetta Avenue.
Centex Homes has requested that all of the credit available from this improvement be applied to lots within
Tract 6048.
Item 8s. Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 98-071 with Carello Enqineers for additional construction
management services on the Buena Vista Road Phase II Sewer Trunk Line project in the amount of
$42,820. The original contract completion date for construction of the Buena Vista Road Phase II Sewer
Trunk Line project was April 17, 2002. It is anticipated that the construction will extend beyond this date by
approximately 23 working days. Carollo Engineers is the consultant providing construction management
services on this project. The terms of the contract were based on the original construction period. Since
that period will be exceeded, both the time period and the compensation portion of the construction
management contract will be exceeded. This amendment will add $42,820 to the existing fee of $299,500
for a total contract amount of $342,320. Sufficient funds are available within the project budget to cover
this amendment.

Bide:
Item St. Award bid to Kern Turf Supply, inc. for irriqation pads and supplies in the amount of $65,000.
Two acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to Kern Turf Supply.
Item 8u. Award bid to Motorola for Panasonic Tou.qhbooks, vehicle mountinq equipment and power
supplies for the Police Mobile Data Computer System in the amount of $457,218.03. Three acceptable
bids were received. Staff recommends award to Motorola.
Miscellaneous:
Item 8v. Appropriate $12,000 in contributions from Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. for Traffic Preemption
Project within the Capital Outlay Fund. According to Agreement No. 96-245, Hall Ambulance Service, Inc.
has contributed $12,000 per year towards the purchase and installation of Opticom Priority Control
Systems, which is the traffic pre-emption system shared by the Fire Department and Hall Ambulance. Hall
Ambulance contributed $12,000 on January 23, 2002 and agreed to contribute $12,000 annually for the
next nine years.
Item 8w. Appropriate $34,500 Asset Forfeiture revenue to the Police Operatinq Budget within the General
Fund to purchase equipment items for the Kern Narcotics Enforcement Team (K.N.E.T). K.N.E.T. is a
partnership between Police, Sheriff, Probation and District Attorney. Since the inception, they have
maintained an office at the Police Department. Due to the recent relocation of the Vice/Narcotic Unit and
their equipment, K.N.E.T. no longer has immediate access to the equipment necessary to perform their
duties. It is requested that the needed equipment be purchased from Asset Forfeiture revenue.
Item 8x. Reclassification of Solid Waste positions. This item addresses two recommended
reclassifications within the Solid Waste Division: 1) Upgrade 1 unfilled Sanitation Worker II position to a
Solid Waste Equipment Operator; and 2) Downgrade 1 unfilled Facility Worker position to Clerk Typist I.
The Solid Waste Division was recently reorganized to eliminate the classification of Sanitation Worker II, to
be consistent with the City's intent to minimize the number of different classifications. Aisc, with the
establishment of a computerized scalehouse for the new recycling program for construction and demolition
material, the gate attendant function is becoming more clerical in nature. The combined effect of these
recommended changes will increase the annual budget by $2,000. CCAPE has been made aware of
these changes.
Item By. Approval of the FY 02/03 Annual Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan 2005 (CDBG, HOME, and
ESG). The proposed 2002/03 Annual Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan 2005 represents the activities
for the upcoming CDBG, HOME Investment Partnership Program, and ESG. The total funds available for
FY 02/03 are $4,942,000, which represent $3,245,000 of CDBG funds, $1,591,000 of HOME funds and
$106,000 of ESG funds. The Budget and Finance Committee approved the annual action plan on March
14, 2002. On March 24, 2002, a public meeting was published, which required a 30-day citizen review
and comment period. As part of the process, two public meetings were scheduled: April 16, and 18,
2002. No public comments were received. The approved Plan must be submitted to HUD by May 16,
2002. HUD will then have 45 days to review the Plan for compliance under federal regulation. The HUD
funds will be released to the City July 1, 2002.
Item 8z. Transfer $6,000 from the Fire Department OperatinR Budqet to the Council Continqency Fund to
return unspent funds appropriated for the New York City Firefiqhters' memorial service. On October 3,
2001, Council approved transfer of $6,000 from Council Contingency to the Fire Department Operating
Budget. These monies provided additional funding to cover overtime costs related to vacancies created

by those who planned to attend the New York City Firefighters' memorial service. The service was
canceled, so staff recommends the funds be transferred back to Council Contingency.
HEARINGS
Item 9a. Re.qional Transportation Impact Fee - First readin.q of an Ordinance amendin.q the Municipal
Code, and a Resolution adoptin.q the 2001/02 ReRional Transportation Capital Improvement Plan and Fee
Schedule. Staff met with both the Urban Development Committee and the Building Industry Association
regarding an increase to both the Transportation Impact Fee and the associated Facilities List
improvement costs by the Construction Cost Index from the period from 1997 to 2000. This will increase
both the fee and the potential credit available to developers by 6.78%. The current ordinance allows an
annual increase of the fee by the Construction Cost Index, but it is not automatic. This proposed action
will make it automatic, and will be the first time the fee has been increased since the Phase II fee went into
effect in 1997.
Item 9c. Resolution adoptin.q fees pursuant to the Cost Recovery System. State law requires new fees
and charges, as well as increases in existing fees and charges, be adopted by ordinance or resolution
following a public hearing. Staff has performed a thorough review of all fees for calendar year 2002 and is
recommending some adjustments to fees in cases where warranted. The rate increases generally are
consistent with inflation. Based on the April 2001 Building Valuation Data tables, the residential and
commercial construction fees are proposed to be reduced to keep cost in line with revenues. City staff
reviewed the proposed changes with Building Industry representatives and there is no opposition.
The proposed changes to the Master Fee Schedule were also reviewed by the Budget and Finance
Committee at the April 18, 2002 meeting. The item is on the agenda for the purpose of receiving public
input regarding the proposed fees as required by State law, and Council may then consider the adoption
of the fees by resolution.
Committee members expressed concerns about four specific fees proposed and directed staff to remove
them from the Master Fee Schedule and bring them back to the next Budget and Finance Committee
meeting for further review and recommendation. They are: 1) Fire Suppression-Permit Processing; 2)
Minor Land Division Review; 3) Business Regulation; and 4) Concurrent Applications - Maps.
Recreation/Cultural fees are proposed to become effective September 1, 2002. Development Services
fees require a sixty (60) day waiting period and shall become effective on July 15, 2002. All other fees are
proposed to increase or decrease beginning June 1, 2002.

One appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission, due to the resignation of Thomas
Curran, term expires March 30, 2005.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council determination.
BACKGROUND:
One appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission due to the resignation of Thomas Curran (Ward 3),
whose term expires March 30, 2005. The nomination for this appointment is by Councilmember Maggard. An
application has been received from Glenn Imke.
Considerable effort has been made to recruit individuals to serve on the Historic Preservation Commission. Since
Thomas Curran's resignation on June 20, 2001, there have been four (4) news releases, publication in The
Bakersfield Californian News Digest, radio announcements, and contact with members of interested organizations.
The Historic Preservation Commission is an advisory body to the City Council. It is composed of nine (9) members,
nominated by Mayor/Councilmembers and confirmed by the full Council. Members must be residents of the City
of Bakersfield, but not a specific Ward, throughout their four-year term.

An Ordinance amending Title seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by
amending Chapter 15.66 and repealing Chapter 15.67 relative to oil and mineral drilling
and production.
An Ordinance amending Title Sixteen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by amending
subsections 16.16.010 E; 16.16.060 A.2; AND 16.20.060 B.3; and adding-sections
16.28.170 B.5. AND 16.28.170 D.4 relative to oil wells and production.
An Ordinance amending Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relative to
Chapters 17.46 DI (Drilling Island District) and 17.47 PE (Petroleum Extraction
Combining District) and subsection 17.64.050 B.3.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinances.
BACKGROUND:
On April 4, 2002, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on these proposed amendments to
Titles 15, 16 and 17 related to oil and mineral drilling and production regulations. The amendments
are based on the changes reviewed by both the Urban Development Committee and the Planning
Commission's Oil Well/Drilling Operations Committee. The purpose of the proposed amendments is
fourfold: 1) to consolidate the oil and mineral drilling and production regulations contained in various
chapters of the Bakersfield Municipal Code into Chapter 15.66 and to reduce redundancy; 2) delete
text that limits application of some regulations to areas annexed after 1998; 3) to improve and clarify
development standards and; 4) provide additional notice to operators of record as listed with the
Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources.
Only one person (Philip L. Ryatl, Stockdale Energy Company) spoke during the Planning Commission
hearing. In response to his comments, additional wording was included to Section 15.66.080. A. to
clarify that as urban development encroaches upon existing petroleum facilities, the proposed urban
development must integrate the existing petroleum facilities to satisfy the development standards,
including but not limited to setbacks as stated in Chapter 15.66.
April 22, 2002, 10:15am
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT .ago 2
Between August and November 2001, the Oil Well/Drilling Operations Subcommittee of the Planning
Commission met with oil industry and building industry representatives to discuss amendments to oil
well drilling and production regulations for the purpose of clarifying regulations and increasing public
notice to operators on record with the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resoumes. The Planning
Commission forwarded proposed amendments to the Urban Development Committee to review.
The Urban Development Committee met in January and February 2002, and added minor revisions
to the proposed amendments. On March 20, 2002, the City Council accepted the Urban Development
Committee Report No. 1-02 and referred the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission for
public hearing and recommendation voted unanimously to forward a recommendation to the City
Council to refer ordinance amendments to the Planning Commission for a public hearing.
Oil and building industry representatives, including representatives from the Division of Oil, Gas and
Geothermal Resources were sent notice of committee meetings held by both the City Council's Urban
Development Committee and the Planning Commission's subcommittee. These participants were also
sent a notice of public hearing for the April 4, 2002 Planning Commission meeting.
Staff has determined the proposed project will not significantly affect the physical environment and
determined the proposed ordinance amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061
(b)(3), general rule.

An Ordinance amending Sections 5.02.200, 10.60.070 and 10.76.080, and deletion
of Chapter 8.20 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to administrative
appeals.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
In furtherance of the City Council goal of streamlining Council meetings, these Ordinance changes
provide that decisions on the City's Business License Tax, route designations for interstate trucks, and the
permitting of parades with which an applicant disagrees, are appealable to the City Manager or his
designee rather than the City Council. In the case of Business License Taxes, the City Council will still
hear any appeal from the City Manager's decision.
Chapter 8.20 entitled, "Insect Pests," is being deleted in its entirety as the control of insects is, and
has been for some time, a matter outside the City's jurisdiction.

Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 97-39 with the Public Employees' Retirement System
(PERS)
Resolution of Intention to approve an Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 97-39 with the
Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System.
Ordinance authorizing an Amendment to the Contract of Administration of the Public
Employees' Retirement System to provide Section 21354.3 (3% @ 60 Full formula) for
local miscellaneous members.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution of Intention and First Reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This amendment implements a recent change to the City's agreement with the Blue and White Collar,
Miscellaneous Supervisory and Miscellaneous Management units which provides for the percentage of final
compensation to be provided for each year of credited prior and current service as a miscellaneous employee
to be determined in accordance with Section 21354.3 of Public Employees' Retirement Law (3% at age 60
Full). Due to the funding level at this time, there will be no additional cost to the City or employees for this
benefit now. It is anticipated that there will be no additional cost to the City until fiscal year 2004-05.
The City of Bakersfield has a contract with the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) where the City
contributes money for retirement benefits for each regular employee following a specified period of
employment. Retirement benefits are based upon the number of years of service and salary of an employee.
PERS will allow a contracting agency to adopt an amendment to their original contract to allow changes in
benefit levels. This amendment to the contract was recently negotiated with the Blue and White Collar union
and approved in a recent change to the salary resolution affecting miscellaneous General Supervisory and
General Management employees. These agreements provide that the City will pay the additional 1%
employee cost which this benefit costs, so there is no additional cost to the employee.
^ notice of Intention to amend our contract with PERS to allow this change to Section 21354.3 must be made
public twice by the City Council, and then it can be adopted after at least 20 days following the first reading
of the Ordinance.
Staff recommends the adoption of this amendment to the City's contract with PERS. Said adoption is
accomplished by passage of the attached ordinance (uncodified).

BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of Lot 10 of Tract
No. 3964, 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

Resolution of Intention No. 1270 to establish Traffic Signal Maintenance District TS-8,
(Calloway, Hageman NE), preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public Works
Director's Report. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City from the of owner of the property
described in Parcel Map No. 10730, to form a maintenance district for the operation and maintenance of a
traffic signal on Calloway Drive north of Hageman Road at the entrance to the proposed RiverLakes Plaza
Shopping Center. Staff recommends the formation of Maintenance District No. TS-8, (Calloway, Hageman
NE), generally bounded by a line 1/4 mile north of Hageman Road on the north, Drakes Passage Way on the
east, Hageman Road on the south and Calloway Drive on the west.
On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution 161-94 which provides for the collection of
maintenance and operating costs for future "convenience" traffic signals through maintenance districts. The
proposed traffic signal is considered a convenience traffic signal since it is not required by the Traffic Authority
to regulate traffic flow, but is installed solely for the benefit of the adjacent parcels. This maintenance district
will be a separate district and will not be merged into the Consolidated Maintenance District.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter and Proposition 218 Ballot from the owner of the property
described above which waives all hearings required by the Brown Act and Chapter 13.04 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code. This allows the City to expedite the formation of the district.
In order to provide future owners with disclosure regarding the proposed maintenance district a covenant has
been drafted and will be supplied to the owner to be recorded with the Certificate of Compliance. A copy of
this covenant is attached for reference.

setting time and place for hearing protests on the amount of assessments to be levied
throughout each of the Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts. (Wards 1, 3, 4 and 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Since the approval of Resolution 161-94 on September 28, 1994, which provides for the
collection of maintenance and operating costs for "convenience" traffic signals, the Council has approved
eight Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts, TS-1 (Marketplace), TS-2 (NW Promenade), TS-3 (Rosedale, Jet
Way), TS-4 (Gleneagles), TS-5 (Northwest Promenade, Phase 2), TS-6 (E. Brundage, Hayes), TS-7 (Mt
Vernon, N/Bernard) and TS-8 (Calloway, Hageman NE). The Bakersfield Municipal Code requires an annual
hearing to set the assessments for each parcel. To simplify the hearing process, due to the small number
of property owners, the hearings for all eight districts will be combined. Budgets for each district will remain
separate. Assessments are not being increased for any of the eight districts. All districts are therefore
exempt from the procedures and approval process of Proposition 218.
This resolution preliminarily approves the Public Works Director's Report, the 2002-2003 budgets and sets
the protest hearing for the Council meeting on Wednesday, June 12, 2002.

Resolution of Intention No. 1275 to order the vacation of 5th Street from "R" Street to west of
the Kern Island Canal. (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The city Economic and Community Development Department on behalf of the Bakersfield
Senior Center is requesting vacation of the remaining portion of 5th Street between "R"Street and the Kern
Island Canal. Community Development is assisting the Senior Center in the acquisition of property on the
north side of 5th Street for the development of an 80 unit senior housing project. The vacated portion of 5t~
Street is incorporated in the proposed 2.77 acre site for the project. The land acquisition is projected for
completion by June, 2002.
The city Fire, Police, Public Works, and Development Services Departments have been notified and none
have posted any objection to the vacation.
All utility companies serving the general area have been notified by mail and none have objected as long as
adequate easements are provided for existing facilities. Both P.G.&E. And California Water Service Company
have underground facilities located in the vacating area that may require relocation by the applicant to develop
the project site.
The city planning commission at its regular meeting of April 19, 2001 did find pursuant to Government Code
65402 that the proposed acquisition of the 2.77 acre site and the vacation of the adjacent portion of 5~' Street
are consistent with the Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.
This Resolution of Intention sets the date of June 26, 2002 for the public hearing on the proposed vacation.

Resolution determining that an Autoscope Machine-Vision Detection System for traffic
control cannot be reasonably obtained through the usual bidding procedures and
authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding thereof; not to exceed $302,500
for eleven (11) systems. (Wards 2,5,6,7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Autoscope Machine-Vision Detection Systems operate at traffic signal intersections th roughout the
City as alternatives to in-grou nd detector loop systems which require frequent maintenance. The Autoscope Systems
will be integrated into the City's Traffic Operation Center and offers the capability of real time video feed of the
intersection back to the Traffic Operation Center.
Autoscope is a proprietary traffic management system, and has granted an exclusive license to sell to Econolite
Control Products, Inc. making this company the sole source for this system. Previous efforts to include purchase of
the Machine-Vision Detection System as part of the base bid for a traffic signal project has led to high markup costs
by the contractor, resulting in increased costs to the City. The System Components wilt be supplied to the City's
contractor for installation. All programming will be done by City crews who are trained in the programming of the
Machine-Vision Detection System. ecause of th s product s restr cted avadabd~ty, h~gh contractor markup costs and
need to integrate the product into an existing City system, purchase of this item does not lend itself to normal bidding
procedures.
The Autoscope Machine-Vision Detection Systems are to be installed i~ iraffic signals at the following locations:
Gosford Road at District Blvd.,
Gosford Road at White Lane,
Gosford Road at South Laurelglen Blvd.,
Gosford Road at Westwold Drive,
Gosford Road at Ming Avenue,
Gosford Road at Camino Media,
Gosford Road at Kroll Way,
Gosford Road at Stockdale Hwy.,
Panama Lane at Akers Road,
Ming Avenue at New Stine, and
Ming Avenue at Ashe Road.
These intersections are part of roadway rehabilitation or street improvement projects. Funding of the Autoscope
Systems will be included in the funding of the roadway rehabilitation or street improvement projects.

Changes to Salary Schedule and Revised Job Specifications
1. Amendment No. 1 to Resolution No. 046-02 Approving Memorandum of Understanding
for Employees of the Blue and White Collar Units and Adopting Salary Schedule and
Related Benefits for Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab Technician
2. Title Change and Revised Job Specification: Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab
Technician and Operator to Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab Technician
RECOMMENDATION: Staff.recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the title change and
revised job specification.
BACKGROUND:
At the request of the Public Works Director, the job specification for Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab
Technician and Operator was reviewed and updated in light of changes made by the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB). Under the new requirements, it would take eight years for a
Wastewater Lab Technician/Operator to gain enough experience to qualify for a Grade II operator's
certificate. This requirement is unattainable without pdor wastewater experience and would make it hard for
the Wastewater Division to fill this position.
The wastewater treatment plant laboratories are currently certified under the Environmental Laboratory
Accreditation Program (ELAP) and the Wastewater Lab Technician is responsible as the Lab Director under
this program. Because of the technical requirements in keeping ELAP certification, the job specification is
being changed to place emphasis on laboratoryresponsibilities.
The salary for this classification wil~ remain the same. CCAPE concurs ~ith the proposed revision.
SUMMARY
The revised job specification was approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at theirApd116, 2002
meeting.

1. Appropriate $177,560 fund balance to the Capital Improvement budget within the
Transportation Development Fund.
2. Consultant's Agreementwith Luster National, Inc., $177,560, to conduct program
and construction management services for the Westside Parkway project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation and agreement.
BACKGROUND: On Apdl 5, 2002, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) has approved the
2002 State Transportation Improvement Program. With the CTC's approval, the City of Bakersfield
became lead agency for the Westside Parkway Project. To date, $188 million has been programmed for
this project. As this roadway continues easterly towards downtown and eventually connects to SR 178,
the total cost will be in excess of $500 million and will take 15-20 years to complete. Since this project
is so large and complex, the City has chosen to utilize a consultant to provide overall project
management.
We anticipate the City will receive authorization to spend federal funds for this project in July, 2002. In
the interim, a great deal of preliminary work must be accomplished in order to purchase right-of-way in
a timely manner and begin the next level of the environmental process. At a previous Council Meeting,
an agreement with URS Corporation was approved to provide preliminary geometric design in order to
establish right-of-way needs. Again, this was done to expedite project delivery and acquire right-of-way
in a timely manner, especially in those areas that are developing so rapidly. The cost of that contract was
paid for through the Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program since it is an eligible expenditure within the
program.
Similarly, staff desired to hire a project management consultant to assist the City during this interim period
before we receive federal authorization. Luster National, Incorporated, a well-known and qualified project
management consulting firm was contacted to provide a proposal for this interim period. The attached
contract provides for project management during this interim period and will also be paid through the TIF
program.
Once we receive federal authorization, a formal RFQ/RFP process will be done and a more permanent
project management consulting firm will be retained and paid for through federal funds.

Appropriate $34,500.00 Asset Forfeiture revenue to the Police Operating Budget within the
General Fund to purchase equipment items for the Kern Narcotics Enforcement Team
(K.N.E.T.).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
Since the inception of the Kern Narcotics Enforcement Team (a partnership between Police, Sheriff, Probation
and District Attorney as a result of a BYRNE funded grant from the office of Criminal Justice Planning),
K.N.E.T. has maintained its office at the Bakersfield Police Department. Over the years, K.N.E.T. has shared
office space, office equipment, and specialized narcotics enforcement equipment belonging to the
Vice/Narcotic Unit.
In September 2001, the Vice/Narcotic Unit moved out of the downtown police station into the new Drug
Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.) building and took most of their office equipment and all of their narcotic
enforcement equipment to the new D.E.A. building to be used in their mission.
K.N.E.T. remains at the Police Department and no longer has immediate access to the needed equipment.
K.N.E.T. is a self-sufficient, street-to-mid-level narcotic's task force. It is given a mission to operate
throughout the county. In order for K.N.E.T. to maintain its current enforcement level and continue to be
self-sufficient, it is requested equipment be purchased from K.N.E.T. Asset Forfeiture revenue (funds required
to be used for the K.N.E.T. program).
The equipment items to be purchased are as follows:
One (1) standard desktop computer
Three (3) hardened laptop touch book computers
$ 2,250.00

Reclassification of the following Solid Waste positions (increased annual cost of $2,000):
1. Upgrade 1 Sanitation Worker II position to Solid Waste Equipment Operator.
2. Downgrade 1 Facility Worker position to Clerk Typist I.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of recommended reclassifications.
BACKGROUND: This administrative report addresses 2 recommended recJassifications within the Solid
Waste Division as follows:
Upgrade I unfilled Sanitation Worker II position to a Solid Waste Equipment Operator:
On March 14, 2001 the Solid Waste Division was reorganized to eliminate the classification of
Sanitation Worker II, to be consistent with the City's intent to minimize the number of different
classifications. At that time, one Sanitation Worker II position remained occupied. This position is
now vacant, and is ready to be changed to Solid Waste Equipment Operator per the recommendation
in the March 14, 2001 report.
Downgrade I unfilled Facility Worker position to Clerk Typist I:
Two Facility Worker positions have been used for gate attendant functions for the City's Greenwaste
Facility. With establishment of a computerized scalehouse for the new recycling program for
construction and demolition material, the gate attendant function is becoming more clerical in nature.
At this time, one of the two Facility Worker positions is vacant, providing an opportunity to reclassify
the position to Clerk Typist I without impacting an existing employee. The remaining Facility Worker
position may be reclassified at a later date, should it become vacant.
The combined effect of these recommended changes will increase the annual budget by $2,000. The Central
California Association of Public Employees (CCAPE) has been notified about these recommended changes
and the associated advantages.

BACKGROUND:
The proposed 2002/2003 Annual Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan 2005 represents the activities for the
upcoming Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program
(HOME), and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). The total funds available for FY 02/03 is $4,942,000 which

Ordinance amending Section 15.84.040 of Chapter 15.84 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code relating to imposition of transportation impact fee.
Resolution adopting the 2001-2022 Regional Transportation Capital
Improvement Plan and Fee Schedule. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance and adoption of the
resolution.
BACKGROUND: Staff has met with both the Urban Development Committee and the Building Industry
Association regarding an increase to both the Transportation Impact Fee and the associated Facilities List
improvement costs by the Construction Cost Index from the period between 1997 to 2000. This will
increase both the fee and the potential credit available to developers by 6.78%. The current ordinance
allows an annual increase of the fee by the Construction Cost Index, but it is not automatic. This proposed
action will be the first time the fee has been increased since the Phase II fee went into effect in 1997.
The ordinance amendment will change the pertinent section to adjust the fee automatically by the annual
Construction Cost Index. The resolution adopts the new fee schedule, increasing all fees by 6.78%. Upon
adoption of the ordinance, the fee increase would become automatic in future years.

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

hearing on this matter and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public
nuisance.
The Council will need to confirm 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. The Council, in its discretion, may amend, alter, modify or correct the assessment as
the Council deems just.

Resolution Adopting Fees Pursuant to the Cost Recovery System,
RECOMMENDATION:
Budget and Finance Committee recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
State law requires new fees and charges, as well as increases in existing fees and charges, be adopted by
ordinance or resolution following a public hearing. The City's procedure is provided for in Chapter 3.70 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code.
The City's biennial review process includes a thorough review of all fees every two years to check
assumptions for labor costs, materials usagej etc. Staff has performed a thorough review of all fees for
calendar year 2002 and is recommending some adjustments to fees in cases where warranted. The rate
increases generally are consistent with inflation. In cases where that does not apply an explanation or
justification is provided. Based on the April 2001 Building Valuation Data tables the residential and commercial
construction fees are proposed to be reduced to keep cost in line with revenues. The City of Bakersfield will
continue to have some of the lowest building fees for comparable cities as building activity continues to be
strong.
City staff has reviewed the proposed changes with Building Industry representatives and they have indicated
they are not opposed to the proposed changes. The proposed changes to the Master Fee Schedule were
also reviewed by the Budget and finance Committee at the April 18, 2002 meeting. The Committee directed
staff to place the proposed fees on the Council Agenda of May 8, 2002 for the purpose of the Council
receiving public input regarding the proposed fees as required by State law, and Council may then consider
the adoption of the fees by resolution. A complete listing of the proposed fee changes is attached to the
resolution.
Committee members said they would like to further review four specific fees proposed and directed staff to
remove the following fees from the Master Fee Schedule and bring them back to the next Budget and
Finance Committee meeting. These fees are:

presented. Should the Council later desire to approve a new fee or increase an existing fee upon completion
of the Budget and Finance Committee review,-that can be accomplished by adoption Of a resolution following
a public hearing as required by State law,
Recreation/Cultural fees. are proposed to become effective September 1, 2002. Development Services fees
require a sixty (60) day waiting period and shall become effective on July 15, 2002. All other fees are
proposed to increase or decrease beginning June 1, 2002.
