Fairfax Road from College Avenue to State Highway 178; Virginia Avenue from South King Street to the
Union Pacific Railroad' tracks; and Wilson Road from Planz Road to Agate Street. Included is the
installation of video vehicle detection systems on Wilson Road at the intersections of Wible Road and
New Stine Road, and manhole costs. Three acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to
Gdffith Company in the amount of $2,329,925.70. Staff also requests appropriation of $60,000 fund
balance to the ClP budget within the Sewer Enterprise Fund for the manhole costs.
Miscellaneous:
Item 8pp. Appropriate $235,000 fund balance to the Public Works Department Operatinq Bud,qet within
the Sewer Enterprise Fund for unanticipated electricity costs. Staff was originally informed that the co-
generation system upgrade at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2 would be completed and operational
by June, 2001. Subsequently, there were numerous delays from faulty equipment, which prevented the
use of the co-generation system until November, 2001. In addition, PG&E began the imposition of
surcharges in July, 2001 when power rates went from an average of $.08/kwh to $.12-$.15/kwh
afterwards. Wastewater Division Staff has worked diligently to reduce power consumption at both
Plants 2 and 3, but electrical costs have exceeded appropriations. Because of these two items, the
electrical account for Plant 2 is anticipated to be over expended by $233,000.
Item 8qq. Appropriate $908,463.47 excess interest eamin.qs to the Capital Improvement Pro.qram
within Assessment District 94-3 (Silver Creek/Brimhall North/Seven Oaks/South Laurel.qlen) for
acquisition of additional public improvements within the District boundaries. On August 16, 2000,
Council approved a resolution approving additional improvements to be completed and funded by

interest earnings from the construction fund in Assessment Distdct 94-3. The interest earnings now
need to be appropriated to facilitate the payment for the additional public improvements that are
complete.
Item 8ss. Inclusion of additional fundinq for the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra of $4,000 and
Bakersfield Museum of Art of $25,000 in the proposed fiscal year 2002-03 budRet. The City Council
policy regarding applications for contributions from nonprofit organizations states the Council will not
consider assistance to nonprofit groups for ongoing operation and maintenance with the exception of
the following groups which the City has had a long standing relationship: Bakersfield Senior Center,
Bakersfield Museum of Art and the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. The sources and amounts of
funds to be contributed annually to these three organizations are recommended by the City Manager
as part of the Annual Budget, subject to City Council review and approval. The Budget and Finance
Committee met to review the above requests and determined the Bakersfield Museum of Art's request
does fit within the Council's policy and the Committee recommends approval of the request to include
a $25,000 contribution in the fiscal year 2002-03 proposed budget to partially fund expanded outreach
programs at Rafer Johnson and Bessie Owens e!ementary schools. The Budget and Finance
Committee also recommends the City increase its contribution to the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra
from $46,000 to $50,000 to cover the cost of two additional concerts and therefore add $4,000 for the
symphony in the proposed fiscal year 2002-03 budget.
item 8tt. Acceptance of final lease payment from Gary Garone for Plant 2 Municipal Farm in the
amount of $161,156. In early 2002, staff received a letter requesting a reduction in annual rent based
on long-term improvements made to the farm in 2001 and removal of 393 acres from the lease by the
City. Staff does not recommend any adjustment be allowed for removal of the acreage due to the
amount of fallow land on the farm. However, staff did note that the owner has made ail lease
payments in excess of the minimum amount by + $124,000 annually. Staff recommends favorable
consideration to a one-time offset for the final lease payment, and reduction to the amount of
$161,156. The Water Board approved this action and recommends approval by the City Council.

Item 9d. Concurrent General Plan Amendment/Zone Chan.qe for approximately five acres, located at
the northwest corner of Jewetta Avenue and Bdmhall Road. This item was continued by Council from
the May 22, 2002 meeting in order for the applicant and surrounding property owners to discuss the
project and come to a decision. The owner wishes to rezone his property on the comer of Jewetta and
Brimhall from Residential to Office Commercial, and build a medical office. Some neighbors are
concerned about the impacts of the project on their residences. The property owner is offedng to
dedicate right-of-way to the City that will help reconfigure the sidewalks and street lights used by
students crossing Bdmhall to Liberty High School. Staff feels the development will increase pedestrian
and vehicle safety at that comer. In addition, staff feels that the Planned Commercial Development
zoning will give the neighbors an opportunity to petition to the Planning Commission again later when the
project is being designed. Staff met with the interested parties to resolve issues and perhaps develop a
compromise, but were unsuccessful. Staff recommends approval of the GPNZone Change.
Item 9e. Protest hearin.q for proposed Assessment Distdct (Madison Grove/San Lauren/Mountain
VistaNVestlake) and Resolution approving Final Engineer's Report. Notice of assessments and cash
payment opportunities have been mailed to the property owners of any property on which an assessment
was levied and recorded. In order to expedite the bond sale and delivery, the property owners have
waived their entitlement to pay any part of any of the assessments in cash. The next step will be the pre-
marketing and pricing of bond sale to be concluded on the June 26, 2002 Council meeting.

of the park landscaping assessment on any parcel of property to be assessed, and the reservation by the

Item 9h. Protest hearing reRardino the Street Landscepinq Assessments for the Consolidated
Maintenance District. Street landscaping assessment rates were not increased for the 2002-2003
fiscal year, however some assessments may be greater because of additional street landscaping
in some areas, All assessments comply with the requirements of Proposition 218. This hearing is to
hear protests on: the fairness of the benefit formula, the zone of benefit including tier level, the amount of

Item 9i. Section 108 & BEDI Application - Baker Street Revitalization. Section 108 loans are federally
underwritten loans that provide the City the opportunity to receive an advance against their future CDBG
entitlement by borrowing it today at a Iow interest rate. The City proposes by resolution to submit an

activities planned on Baker Street. The loan will be debt serviced from Old Town Kern Pioneer
Redevelopment Project Area tax increment over 20 years at $86,000 annually.

apartments; incorporation of a Plaza/Mercado; and renovation of an existing theater to host cultural and
entertainment events. A recently obtained EDI grant is earmarked for streetscape improvements on
Baker Street, from Niles to Truxtun which would see the installation of trees, historic street lights, and
other public improvements.
REPORTS
Item 10a. Community Services Report No. 2-03. A citizens committee was appointed to consider
placement of the documents and mottos. In regard to the historical documents, they recommended
the following: 1) A picture of the Statue of Liberty framed by the Declaration of Independence and the
Bill of Rights on the East wall of the Council chambers, and a picture of the Liberty Bell framed by the
Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation (condensed) on the West Wall; 2) A quote by
Colonel Baker above the bulletin board in the foyer: "This is God's country. Someday it will be filled

Ordinance amending Section 15.84.040 of Chapter 15.84 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code relating to imposition of transportation impact fee.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends second reading of ordinance.
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. The current
ordinance allows an annual increase of the fee by the Construction Cost Index, but it is not automatic.
The ordinance amendment will change the pertinent section to adjust the fee automatically by the annual
Construction Cost Index. The first reading of this ordinance was held May 8, 2002.

An Ordinance amending Section 1.34.010 Subdivision B and Section 1.34.020
Subsection B of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to administrative appeals.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance received first reading at the City Council meeting on May 22, 2002.
Recently, as a part of the streamlining process, the Council adopted Chapter 1.34 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code regarding administrative appeals. Chapter 1.34 provides that wherever the Municipal Code
provides for an appeal to the City Manager or for an appeal to a City Department Head, the matter may
be heard by the designee of the City Manager (in cases appealable to the City Manager) or the designee
of the Department Head (in cases appealable to the Department Head).
This Ordinance will amend the time within which the City Manager or Department Head would
conduct the hearing. Currently, the Ordinance provides that the matter is to be heard by the City Manager
or Department Head within thirty (30) days of the request for an appeal hearing. The amendment provides
that the appeal would be heard within forty-five (45) days of the request instead.
Currently, for appeals to the City Manager, the City Manager's Office intends to hold hearings on
the second Monday of each month. Under this procedure, while there will be monthly hearings, they wilt
not necessarily be held exactly thirty (30) days apart. Hence, staff has requested that the above
amendment be implemented.

Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 97-39 with the Public Employees' Retirement System
(PERS)
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
Agreement with the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to provide Section
21354.3 (3% @ 60 Full formula) for local miscellaneous members.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance approving the amendment.
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 pementage 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.
A 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. This Ordinance was given first reading at the meeting of May 8, 2002.
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).

Adoption of Resolution approving one Native Amedcan name designation at River Oaks Park
and two Native American name designations at Yokuts Park. (Wards 4, 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
Community Services Committee recommends adoption of resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On November 29, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution No. 142-00 which approved three
Native American name designations and provided a process for future designations. The resolution states
that future requests for name designations will first be presented to the Citizens' Community Services
Advisory Committee, which in turn will forward its recommendation to the Community Services Committee.
The Native American Heritage Preservation Council's current request is to add a Native American
name to the River Oaks Park sign and place two boulders at Yokuts Park bearing plaques with Native
American names. On November 13, 2001, the Citizens' Community Services Advisory Committee approved
the addition of the Native American name "Cholich Kenim" to the River Oaks Park sign. The park sign would
have three lines: River Oaks Park, Cholich Kenim, and the last line, City of Bakersfield. In addition, the
Committee approved the placement of two large boulders at Yokuts Park. Each boulder would have a
plaque with phonetic spelling and Native American definitions of "Pe-esh-e" and "Kodis."
Staff has met with representatives of the Native American group and Coleman Homes who have
agreed to allow the name to be added to the River Oaks Park sign. The Native American Heritage
Preservation Council will pay for the additional expense to add the name to the River Oaks Park sign and
provide the boulders and plaques for Yokuts Park.
The proposed resolution approves the above-mentioned names. The Community Services
Committee met on April 17, 2002, and recommended the Council adopt the resolution.

Agreement with the Law Offices of Hanna, Brophy, MacLean, McAleer & Jensen for Workers'
Compensation Legal Services in the amount of $40,000 to be paid from the Self-Insurance
Workers' Compensation Fund
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Although most of the legal work on workers' compensation cases is handled in-house, the City has
continued to retain the law firm of Hanna, Brophy, MacLean, McAleer & Jensen to assist in complex workers'
compensation matters. The cases presently handled by Hanna, Brophy are cases with high exposure,
conflicts, unusually complex, or venued outside of Bakersfield. Additionally, Hanna, Brophy provides valuable,
immediate advice to the City and its outside administrator on other workers' compensation files when
requested. All of the firm's attorneys are very knowledgeable and effective at handling workers' compensation
cases. Over the past six years, Hanna, Brophy has represented the City on some of the most difficult and
complex workers' compensation cases against the City. The City Attorney's Office estimates Hanna, Brophy
has saved the City conservatively over $200,000 in workers' compensation benefit payments in the last year
on different cases on which they have rendered advice or which they handled.
Hanna, Brophy's rates are extremely reasonable relative to customary attorneys' hourly rates. They
currently charge only $135 per hour while one would normally be charged $150-$200 per hour for legal services
involving this level of expertise. The local Workers' Compensation Appeals Board customarily awards
applicants' attorneys $175 per hour for attorneys' fees.
The fees paid by the Cityto Hanna, Brophy have arrived at the previous contract limit of $40,000. The
City desires to continue its relationship with Hanna, Brophy, and thus, it is appropriate to have Council approve
another contract.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreemen(~
BACKGROUND: The City has had non-exclusive agreements with Ken Porter Auction Company since
1996 to sell surplus specialty vehicles at auction, specifically heavy equipment such as refuse trucks, loaders,
street sweepers and fire trucks. A local auction company sells the City's surplus smaller equipment such as
sedans, pickups, office equipment, and items released for sale from the Police property room.
Ken Porter Auction Company's auction site is in the Los Angeles area, and draws a large group of buyers
from the Western states and Mexico. The competition among these buyers results in high resale profits for
the City. The profits are returned to the Equipment Fund to supplement the purchase of new equipment. The
auction company does not charge the City a commission and the equipment is transported to the auction site
at no charge.
This association with Ken Porter Auction Company has proven beneficial to the City and staff requests a new
agreement be entered into, for a period of one (1) year, with the option for two (2), one (1) year extensions.

Agreement with Clarence Jefferson Wilson and Minnie Neomia Wilson to purchase real
property located at 924 13th Street for $40,000 of Community Development Block Grant
funds (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
As part of Amendment No. 1 to the Community Development Block Grant Action Plan approved by City
Council, April 28, 1998, program funds were designated for the Acquisition and Demolition (AD) Program
for vacant substandard properties in Wards I and 2. The purpose of the AD program was for the City to
purchase and demolish deteriorated industrial, commercial and residential properties in redevelopment
project areas.
To date, five other properties have been acquired as part of this program, they include 1013 13th Street
(AA Pet Hotel/Groomery), 1025 13~h Street (a vacant single family residence), 1300 "O" Street (a former
gas station), 1275 "P" Street (a commercial refrigeration business, and 1301 "Q" Street (a picture framing
business). With the demolition of the above sites the CDBG goal of the elimination of spot blight was
achieved.
The next property to be acquired is a single family residence located at 924 13~h Street. This property is
being sold by Clarence Jefferson Wilson and Minnie Neomia Wilson for $40,000. The purchase price for
this site is a product of negotiations based on an appraisal by Michael Burger, MAI.
The site is a 5,775 square foot parcel zoned R-3 developed with a single stow 840 square foot wood
framed dwelling built in 1915. The property is currently occupied and the tenant will be relocated pursuant
to the Uniform Relocation Act. The Planning Commission found the acquisition of this property consistent
with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan and the purchase is contingent upon such a finding.
The environmental release from the HUD-LA office was received in March 2002. Once the City has taken
title to the property, it will be demolished.

contract amount of $60,000) for vehicle loop cutting at various intersections within the city.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment.
BACKGROUND: At the February 14,2001 Council Meeting, the annual contract for vehicle loop cutting
services at various intersections within the City was awarded to Loop Electric for $25,000. An additional
$20,000 was added to the contract by Amendment No. I at the February 20, 2002 Council Meeting. At
this time the annual contract amount has been exhausted due to unanticipated repairs to defective loops
at various locations. Currently, outstanding unpaid bills to the vendor total approximately $13,500.
Staff recommends increasing the annual contract amount by $15,000 to cover the increase in vehicle loop
repairs. No additional appropriation is required. This administrative procedure is necessary to cover the
annual contract until the item is sent out to bid.

SUBJECT:
Amendment No, 5 to Agreement No. 96-178 with SPCA Independent Contractors
Agreement in the amount of $679,221 to Cover Increased Costs of Operation for FY 2002-
03.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of Amendment.
BACKGROUND:
The SPCA, like many organizations, is continuing to experience increased operating and personnel costs
in addition to state mandates. It has been attempting to cover the costs of these expenses incrementally
over time. Thus, the SPCA is requesting a monthly increase in its annual contract with the City
(Agreement #96-178 (4)) in the amount of $4,985.75. This is an increase of $59,829, for a total annual
amount of $679,221, or $56,601.75 per month for FY 2002-03. The current contract amount is $619,392,
or $51,616 per month. The proposed contract change is to take effect July 1, 2002. The City's animal
control contract with the City extends through June 30, 2003.
The proposed increase in the contract amount will cover anticipated increases. A request for an increase
in licensing and animal control fees was received in 2001-2002 with implementation anticipated in FY 2002-
2003. In the upcoming year, the SPCA will analyze costs and revenues associated with its provision of
animal control services to the City as it works with City staff to develop a proposal for a new long-term
contract with the City for animal control beginning in June 2003.
The requested contract amount increase of $59,829 has been included in the 2002-2003 proposed budget.

Contract Change Order No. 8 for $55,860.75 (for a total Contract Amount of $1,174,274.48)
to Agreement No. 00-309 with Griffith Company for the Resurfacing/Interconnect Various
Streets in the City of Bakersfield 1999-2000 Phase II Project. (Wards 2, 5, and 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This Project includes the installation of traffic signal interconnect conduit and the resurfacing
of various streets with asphalt concrete in the City of Bakersfield.
Due to field conditions encountered during construction, several items of the contract had to be either
increased or decreased. This "balancing" change order is a reflection of those changes. These changes in
quantity were necessary due to various conditions discovered such as a need for additional roadway
reconstruction on Chester Avenue, additional asphalt leveling needed on Stockdale Highway, and a decrease
in needed pavement reinfomement fabric. The Change Order also reflects price deductions for asphalt
concrete due to failure to meet the compaction requirement. These price adjustments are outlined in the
contract.
This work is funded 88~53% by Federal funds and 11.47% by State Gas Tax funds. Sufficient funds are
available within the project to cover the cost of this change order.
With this Change Order, the revised contract amount will be $1,174,274.48

Gosford ~oad ~econstruct and Stroot Improvomonts (Min~ ~vonuo to StockdalO Highway).
(Ward 5):
Accept bid to award contract to Granite Construction Company, ($2,881,198.60) for
project.
Appropriate $550,000 fund balance to the Capital Improvement Budget within the
Transportation Development Fund.
Appropriate $715,000 Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Funds to the
Capital Improvement Budget within the Intermodal Surface Transportation Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of Iow bid, award of contract, and approval of
appropriations.
BACKGROUND: This project consists of reconstructing Gosford Road with a I foot depth of asphalt
concrete paving from Ming Avenue to Stockdale Highway; widening the intersection on Ming Avenue at
Gosford Road; constructing right turn lanes on Gosford Road southbound at Camino Media and Kroll Way;
and constructing a right turn lane on Stockdale Highway eastbound at Gosford Road.
The original construction of Gosford Road does not meet current standards and the structural requirements
for the existing traffic volumes. For this reason, Gosford Road pavement has continued to fail. Past
resurfacing projects on Gosford Road have extended the pavement life for a few years, but continue to fail
due to the underlying insufficient structural section. This project will provide the structural requirements
necessary for the roadway with a 1 foot full depth asphalt concrete section. Federal Funds will cover 88.53%
of the project costs for this portion of the work with the remaining 11.47% coming from the Gas Tax Fund.
The intersection widening on Ming Avenue is to accommodate dual left turns for both east and westbound
traffic. The right turn lane on Stockdale Highway will increase the capacity of the intersections and provide
adequate deceleration and storage length for safe turning movements. Funds for the intersection widening
and right turn lane on Stockdale Highway are to be appropriated from the Transportation Development Fund.

Appropriate $235,000 fund balance to the Public Works Department operating budget within
the Sewer Enterprise Fund for unanticipated electricity costs.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND: During preparation of the FY 01/02 budget, staff was informed by the Wastewater Plant
2 Upgrade/Expansion Project Contractor that the co-generation system upgrade would be completed and
operational by June, 2001. The co-generation system would generate significant cost savings in the electricial
account. As a result, the budget request for electricity was reduced to $300,000 from the $400,000 budgeted
in the 2000/01 budget year.
The co-generation project encountered numerous delays from faulty equipment delivered by General Electric
Corporation. The delays prevented the use of the co-generation system until November, 2001. In addition,
PG&E began the imposition of surcharges in July, 2001. Power rates went from an average of $.08/kwh prior
to June 2001 to $.12-$.15/kwh afterwards. Wastewater Division Staff has worked diligently to reduce power
consumption at both Plants 2 and 3, but electrical costs have exceeded appropriations.
Because of these 2 items, the electrical account for Plant 2 is anticipated to be over expended by $233,000.

at historical levels and a request for additional funds was received subsequent to budget preparation. Staff also
received a request for funding from the Bakersfield Museum of Art after budget deadlines. These requests and
a recent request received from the Golden Empire Gleaners were referred to the Budget and Finance Committee
for review and recommendation.
The City Council policy regarding applications for contributions from nonprofit organizations states the Council will
not consider assistance to nonprofit groups for ongoing operation and maintenance with the exception of the
following groups which the City has had a long standing relationship: Bakersfield Senior Center, Bakersfield
Museum of Art and the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. The sources and amounts of funds to be contributed
annually to these three organizations are recommended by the City Manager as part of the Annual Budget, subject
to City Council review and approval.
The Budget and Finance Committee met to review the above requests and determined the Bakersfield Museum
of Art request does fit within the Council's policy and the Committee recommends approval of the request to
include a $25,000 contribution in the fiscal year 2002-03 proposed budget to partially fund expanded outreach
programs at Rafer Johnson and Bessie Owens elementary schools.

The Budget and Finance Committee also recommends the City of Bakersfield increase its contribution to the
Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra from $46,000 to $50,000 to cover the cost of two additional concerts and
therefore add $4,000 for the symphony in the proposed fiscal year 2002-03 budget.
The Budget and Finance Committee expressed support for the activities of the Gleaners organization and although
they perform a very worthy function, their application was submitted too late for the current CDBG Action Plan
funding cycle. The Committee did not want to make an exception to the City policy regarding contributions to
nonprofits and did not recommend supporting the Gleaner's funding request. However, the Committee directed
staff to notify the Gleaners in writing regarding the timelines and process for submitting an application for the next
CDBG funding cycle for future consideration.
The Budget and Finance Committee recommends inclusion of additional funding for the Bakersfield Symphony
Orchestra of $4,000 and Bakersfield Museum of Art of $25,000 in the proposed fiscal year 2002-03 budget.

Acceptance of reduced lease payment in the amount of $161,156 from Gary Garone Farms
for Plant 2 Municipal Farm in 2001 Calendar Year. (Ward 7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of this final payment amount.
BACKGROUND: In December 2001, staff met with Mr. and Mrs. Garone and Jim Wren, their CPA, to
discuss the operations of Municipal Farm and the annual rent payment due the City for 2001. Gary Garone
had suffered a major stroke and as a result of his health condition was no longer able to manage the farm.
In August of last year, Mr. Garone exercised his option to assign the lease to Mr. Collins (dba Progressive
Farms). In order to give the new tenants an opportunity to get up to speed and ensure a smooth transfer of
the daily operations, Garone Farms continued to manage the farm, in a limited capacity, through the end of
the year. During the meeting Mr. Garone and his accountant indicated that due to the cotton market in 2001
he had to return CALCOT over $115,000 for advanced payments for his cotton crops received in the year
2000. In addition, he felt that the amount of acreage removed from the lease by the City and the leasehold
improvements made in 2001 should be included in the rent computations.
They also indicated that unlike previous years, 2001 had the lowest cotton prices since they began operating
the farm in May of 1982. The annual rent payment due the City was less than the $200,000 minimum
required in the contract. Mr. Garone agreed to put his request in writing and send it to the City for
consideration.
Approximately two months ago the City received a letter from Mr. Jim Wren, CPA, on behalf of Gary Garone
along with documentation detailing the information discussed in our December 2001 meeting. The
information requested a reduction in annual rent based on long-term improvements made to the farm in 2001 '
and the removal of 393 acres from the lease by the City. The above information was reviewed by staff which
S:~002ADMINREPOR'i-~JN 12WT2.CC
June 5, 2002, 9:47am
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
included Joe Turner, Derrill Whitten from Wastewater and Gene Bogart, FIorn Core, and Maurice Randall
from Water Resources.
Detailed analysis was completed by staff on this matter which includes a review of the Lease Agreement, the
history regarding the operation of the farm and annual lease payments made to the City by Mr. Garone over
the years. The Garone family were tenants of the Plant 2 Farm for over 25 years, Gary Garone became
tenant and operator on May 12, 1982. During that time, Mr. Garone has operated the farm in a satisfactory
manner and has always paid his lease payments to the City timely and the amount has consistently been in
excess of the $200,000 minimum annual payment. The Garone Farms payment history over the past 10
years was as follows:
Minimum Annual Actual Payment
Year Payment To Citv
1991 $200,000 $356,931
1992 200,000 348,941
1993 200,000 311,285

After reviewing the information submitted by Mr. Garone, staff would not recommend that any adjustment be
allowed for removal of acreage by the City due to the amount of fallow land on the farm. However, due to the
number of permanent improvements made by Mr. Garone to the City farm during his operation, staff would
recommend favorable consideration to a one-time offset in the final Pease payment for 2001. It should be
noted that even with a reduced lease payment for the 2001 farm year, Mr. Garone's average payment has
exceeded the minimum annual lease payment to the City by + $124,000 annually over the last ten years.
Should this adjustment be allowed, the total rent to Mr. Garone for 2001 would be $161,156 ($201,189 per
attached invoice from Finance dated 12/6/01 less $40,033 improvements).
This item was reviewed by the Water Board at its May 15, 2002 meeting and recommend acceptance of this
reduced payment for calendar year 2001.

Reclassification and Revised Job Specification
1. Reclassification: Secretary II (Mayor's Office) to Administrative Assistant I
2. Revised Job Specification: Accounting Supervisor
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the reclassification and revised job specification.
BACKGROUND:
Harvey Hall, Mayor, has requested the reclassification of the Secretary II position, occupied by Natalie
Welty to the Administrative Assistant I classification. Ms. Welty's responsibilities have clearly shifted away
from that of a Secretary II. Ms. Welty maintains a complex calendar for the Mayor, promotes positive public
relations for the Mayor's Office, writes speeches, proclamations and correspondence for the Mayor,
administers the Mayor's Office and coordinates the Mayor's committees. All of this requires extensive
Mayor and City Council contact, maintenance of an executive calendar, independent judgment, self-initiated
project research, budget development, administrative reports and media contact.
Gregory Klimko, Finance Director, has requested the revision of the Accounting Supervisor job
specification. In order to create a career path for Accountant I's to promote to Accounting Supervisor I, the
job specification for Accounting Supervisor is being revised to allow for the substitution of a Master's
Degree for the supervisory experience. This would provide incentive for current employees to remain with
the City.
SUMMARY
The reclassification and revised job specification were approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board
at their May 21, 2002 meeting.

Public hearing to determine whether the public interest and necessity require acquisition by
eminent domain of property located at 102913~h Street, Bakersfield, California, for parking for
the Centennial Garden Arena/Convention Center (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230,
et seq.) (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a Resolution of Necessity declaring the public interest and necessity for the
taking of property located at 1029 13th Street, Bakersfield, California, for parking for the Centennial Garden
Arena/Convention Center, enabling the City to condemn the subject property.
BACKGROUND:
The heirs apparent to this property are amenable to sell to the City. However, none have legal title so the City
will begin a "friendly" condemnation action to quiet title and deposit the appraised value with court for payment
to the appropriate heirs. The property owner, Frank J. Goosby, died without a will so that ownership is
presently vested in his estate. No action has been taken by his heirs to quiet title so the condemnation
proceedings will resolve the unsettled ownership question.
Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230 requires that the City Council adopt "a Resolution of Necessity"
authorizing the initiation of an eminent domain action. Section 1245.230 also requires that certain
"pre-condemnation" requirements be met.
Each of these requirements has been met by the City and are set forth in the Resolution of Necessity attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference.
Prior to adopting the Resolution of Necessity, Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235 requires that the City '
give each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain a reasonable opportunity to appear and
be heard on the following:
1. Whether the public interest and necessity require the project;
June 4, 2002, 3:38pm
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
Whether the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the
greatest public good and the least private injury;
3. Whether the property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project; and
Whether the offers required by Government Code section 7267.2 have been made to the
owner(s) of the subject property.
The specific findings of fact which support the Council's adoption of the Resolution of Necessity are set forth
therein and include:
This property is blighted (a boarded former residence) and immediately adjoins properties
which the City is also acquiring or now using for expanded parking facilities.
Temporarily provide additional public parking for the Centennial Garden Arena/Convention
Center Complex. When events are scheduled during normal working hours on weekdays, the
Complex is not permitted to use the Kern County parking structure adjacent to the Complex
(west of "N" Street) resulting in the loss of approximately 800 parking spaces;
Completion of the "Q" Street underpass in July 2000 makes this property ideally located for
Complex parking, No delayto vehicular and pedestrian traffic will occur when trains are stopped
along the rail line between the property and the Complex. Delays to traffic occur on "N" Street
when trains are present along the intervening rail line;
A reconfiguration of traffic flows for Complex parking to this property and other parking lots
between "M" and "Q" Streets is complete and will resolve numerous complaints received
regarding traffic delays;
Required notice was provided to each property owner and prospective property owner by mail and publication
as set forth in the Resolution of Necessity.
In order for the property owners to appear before the Council, the property owners must have filed a written
request to appear and be heard within fifteen (15) days after the notice was mailed (Code of Civil Procedure
section 1245.235(a)(b)(3)). Failure to file a written request results in the waiver of the right to appear and be
heard.
The Council must adopt the Resolution of Necessity by vote of two thirds of all the members of the Council
(not two thirds of a quorum of the members present). (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.240.)

Public hearing to determine whether the public interest and necessity require acquisition by
eminent domain of property located at 1313 "Q" Street, Bakersfield, California, for an Aquatics
Center and Indoor Ice Center (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230, et seq.) (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a Resolution of Necessity declaring the public interest and necessity for the
taking of property located at 1313 "Q" Street, Bakersfield, California, for an Aquatics Center and Indoor Ice
Center, enabling the City to condemn the subject property.
BACKGROUND:
Title to this property is clouded by numerous liens which, in total, exceed the value of the property itself. The
owner is agreeable to the City's purchase but it cannot offer clear marketable title. Accordingly, the City will
begin a friendly condemnation proceeding wherebythe appraised value will be paid to the appropriate interest
holders as determined by the court.
Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230 requires that the City Council adopt "a Resolution of Necessity"
authorizing the initiation of an eminent domain action. Section 1245.230 also requires that certain
"pre-condemnation" requirements be met.
Each of these requirements has been met by the City and are set forth in the Resolution of Necessity attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference.
Prior to adopting the Resolution of Necessity, Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235 requires that the City
give each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain a reasonable opportunity to appear and
be heard on the following:
1. Whether the public interest and necessity require the project;

Whether the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the
greatest public good and the least private injury;
3. Whether the property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project; and
Whether the offers required by Government Code section 7267.2 have been made to the
owner(s) of the subject property.
The specific findings of fact which support the Council's adoption of the Resolution of Necessity are set forth
therein and include:
The City of Bakersfield plans to construct an outdoor aquatic center and an indoor ice skating
facility to enhance and promote development of the southeast region of the City, an area
historically underutilized for recreation and entertainment facilities.
2. Expand available public recreation and entertainment facilities in the Downtown Area.
Elements of the aquatics center will include play and swim areas for small children; a
competition lap pool and diving pool (for both public use and high school training and athletic
competitions) and assorted support buildings and facilities (e.g. offices, restrooms, locker and
equipment room).
The ice rink shall be designed in accordance with standards promulgated by the National
Hockey League. This facility will serve multiple recreation purposes including a public ice
skating facility and a practice/training facility for the Condors, a professional ice hockey team.
At present, scheduling conflicts with the ice rink at the Centennial Garden Arena limit the
Condors' practice/training schedules. The ice center will remedy this limitation.
Required notice was provided to each property owner as set forth in the Resolution of Necessity.
In order for the property owners to appear before the Council, the property owners must have filed a written
request to appear and be heard within fifteen (15) days after the notice was mailed (Code of Civil Procedure
section 1245.235(a)(b)(3)). Failure to file a written request results in the waiver of the right to appear and be

Continued Public Hearing
Concurrent General Plan Amendment'Zone Chanoe P01-0916 (Ward 4)
The City of Bakersfield has proposed a General Plan Amendment and an ordinance
amendment for approximately five acres, located at the northwest corner of Jewetta Avenue
and Brimhall Road. There was an appeal to the Planning Commission decision on the Zone
Change item.
Resolution approving the Negative Declaration and adopting the General Plan
Amendment to change land use designations from SR (Suburban Residential) to OC
(Office Commercial).
Ordinance adopting the Negative Declaration and overturning the Planning
Commission decision by amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code and Zoning Map
101-26 from RS-5A (Residential Suburban - 5 acres minimum) to C-O/PCD
(Professional and Administrative Office Commercial/Planned Commercial
Development) on 5 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution adopting the Negative Declaration and approving the
general plan amendment and overturning the Planning Commission recommendation giving the first
reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This item was continued by the City Council at the May 22, 2002, meeting in order for the applicant
and surrounding property owners to discuss the project and come to a decision.
This amendment to the General Plan would permit the development of Office Commercial uses on the .
project site. The City of Bakersfield has been working with the property owner to acquire right-of-way
for the improvement of both Brimhall and Jewetta Roads. For the property owner's cooperation, staff
agree to request this change in zone. Opposition from the neighboring residential property owners
to the north and west of the project site surfaced during the Planning Commission hearings. Concerns
ranged from Ioc~_tion of the office building to traffic generated by the project. The Planning
Commission recommended adoption and approval of the General Plan Amendment as requested with
May 24, 2002, 11:04am
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
a condition that the developer submit a Planned Commercial Development zone prior to development
of the site. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the zone change. The applicant
(city staff) appealed the Planning Commission's decision in order to receive a zone district designation
for the site prior to completion of the annexation to the city limits. According to State Law, if no zone
designation is approved prior to completion of the annexation the developer must wait two years after
the completion of the annexation in order to change the zone. In addition, the city will be able to
complete greatly needed improvements on both Brimhall Road and Jewetta Road.
To wait two years in the quickly growing area of the city is inappropriate. There is no commercial
office zoning within a mile of this site. There is a great need to provide professional office
opportunities in this neighborhood so that people may work close to where they live.
Approving a CO/PCD zone district achieves the intent of both the Planning Commission and the
property owner while providing a forum for the neighborhood to discuss the project when development
plans are finalized.
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 February
8, 2002, in accordance with CEQA.

Section 108 & BEDI Application - Baker St. Revitalization:
The City of Bakersfield proposes to submit a Section 108 loan application in the
amount of $1.0 million dollars and a Brownfield Economic Development Initiative
Grant (BEDI) in the amount of $250,000 to HUD, to provide funds for various
economic development and housing activities planned on Baker Street.
1. Resolution authorizing submission of the Section 108 application and a BEDI grant
application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. (HUD)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Section 108 Loan application and Brownfield Economic Development
Initiative (BEDI) grant application and adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In a memorandum to the City Council dated March 6, 2002, staff discussed the possibility of obtaining a
Section 108 loan as a primary financing source regarding the rehabilitation/upgrade of swimming facilities
at Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jefferson Pools, as well as for construction of a new aquatic facility in an
eligible block grant area with the exact location to be determined. Section 108 loans are federally
underwritten loans that provide the City the opportunity to receive an advance against their future CDBG
entitlement by borrowing it today at a Iow interest rate.
At that time, staff also explored the possibility of submitting a second Section 108 Loan application and
companion BEDI grant to further qualified economic development efforts planned on Baker Street. The
Section 108 loan will be debt serviced from Old Town Kern Pioneer Redevelopment Project Area tax
increment in an estimated amount of $88,000 annually for a period of 20 years. The Old Town Kern
Pioneer Redevelopment Project Area currently receives approximately $320,000 of gross operating tax
increment and interest earnings annually of which $80,000 is required to be set aside for affordable
housing purposes. The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency approved the financing plan and pledge of tax
increment at their April 2002 meeting.

Baker Street Revitalization Project
The Baker Street Corridor is a neighborhood in search of an identity. The formula for revitalization of this
neighborhood is to develop neighborhood scaled retail and services supported by residential projects, it is
important to recognize the predominant Hispanic residential population and develop the neighborhood to
meet the needs of this population.
For redevelopment purposes, the middle district, which extends from Monterey St. to Jackson St., serves
as the corridor's primary retail/commercial core opportunity to provide these neighborhood services. The
blocks bounded by Lake and Kentucky, full 120,000 square foot blocks, is an ideal location to support a
mixed use retail/commercial and residential catalyst project. These blocks are ready for development due
to buildings recently being demolished for health and safety issues and to minimal utilization of the
remaining buildings. Several meetings have been held over the past year with the Old Town Kern
Merchant Association and other interested residents and businesses to gather ideas and suggestions on
what Baker Street should look like and what type of development should be pursued. These meetings
also addressed concerns regarding social issues. As a result of these meetings, an action plan was
created and adopted by the City Council. Several items in that action plan included pursuit of
redevelopment activities.
Staff recently obtained a special $490,000 Economic Development Initiative Grant (EDI) earmarked for
streetscape improvements on Baker Street. These funds will be used on the blocks between Niles and
Truxtun to install street trees, historic street lights and other public improvements. The streetscape is
scheduled to begin in late fall of this year.
Staff is currently negotiating with Golden Empire Affordable Housing, Inc., for the development of the
senior residential village consisting of 60 units which will be designed to complement the commercial
facades. The housing project will be reserved for Iow income qualifying seniors and is planned to be
financed with state tax credits and HOME funds in the fall of 2003. Section 108 funds are needed for site
assembly costs associated with the residential component.
Significant interest in the commercial component of the project has been generated from the Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce, various non-profit service agencies, a day care provider in either co-venturing or
in leasing space. Initial project plans call for a plaza area and an open air Mercado, similar to a standing
farmers market. Other private commercial tenants expected to be attracted include insurance services,
para-legal services, communications services and sales and a variety of small specialty shops and
restaurants. Staff is proposing using the Section 108 loan funds and the BEDI grant for acquisition and
clearance costs associated with the required land assembly for the project. It is expected that a request
for proposals will be prepared in the near future to obtain development proposals for the commercial
complex and adjacent retail.
Below is a list of key development concepts to be incorporated in the Baker Street Revitalization Project.
~ Construction of 60 senior apartments
Incorporation of a "Plaza/Open Air Mercado"
Renovation of an existing theater to host cultural and entertainment events adjacent to the Plaza
courtyard surrounded by mixed-use office and retail
A site plan is attached depicting the development concepts.
The City is in a unique financial position to leverage resources, seek available grants and supplement
other available funding sources.

SUBJECT:
Community Services Report No. 2-03 A. Historical Documents
B. In God We Trust
C. Liberty Garden
RECOMMENDATION: The Community Services Committee recommends acceptance of the report
and implementation of the recommendation.
BACKGROUND: The Council accepted a report from the Community Services Committee on
May 22, 2002 regarding this item. Now the following recommendations are presented for final approval
of the City Council
Historical Documents
The Community Services Committee appointed a citizens committee to consider placing historical
documents inside City Hall. The citizens committee, headed by local businessman Mike Miller,
unanimously recommended the following:
A picture of the Statue of Liberty framed by the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of
Rights on the East wall of the Council chambers, and a picture of the Liberty Bell framed by the
Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation (condensed) on the West Wall.
· A quote by Colonel Baker above the bulletin board in the foyer: 'q'his is God's country.
Someday it will be filled with happy homes....The place is rich in future possibilities."
· Other historical documents will be placed on the west wall across from the Mayor's office (list
attached).
· A dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony would be held on July 4, 2002, followed by an open
house for the public to view the project.
All costs associated with the project will be funded by corporate donations of $500 each. The
donors would be recognized at the dedication ceremony, but the citizens committee felt that
donor names should not be included on or near the projects. The citizens committee will be
responsible for all fundraising to make the project a reality.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
The Community Services Committee voted unanimously to accept the citizens committee's
recommendations. Our thanks go out to committee members Mike Miller, Don Clark, Shirlyn
Davenport, Denise Pandol, Miriam Beam, Terri Richmond, Zak Thomas, Marque Stansberry and
Jeannette Richardson.
"In God We Trust"
The citizens committee also offered a recommendation on the location of "In God We Trust" and "e
pluribus unum' mottos. Again, their recommendations were unanimous. They felt both mottos should
be together and should be inside of City Hall. They recommended both mottos surround the city seal
located behind the mayor's chair on the dais, with "In God We Trust" on top. The citizens committee
will be raising funds to pay for installation of the mottos. A concept drawing is attached. The
Community Services Committee unanimously approved their recommendations.
Liberty Garden
A committee of community members, including public safety agencies throughout Kern County, has
been discussing a "Liberty Garden" in a park setting with monuments in honor of American liberty and
victims of the S~ptember-11th attack on the United States. The community committee had wished to
use property at City Hall for the Liberty Garden. However, because the community committee prefers
building a larger, more significant project that is too large for City Hall, they will be asking the City for a
dedication of land next to the new Fire Station 15/Police Substation in the southwest to build their
project. There is available space to accommodate their request. They plan to begin fundraising for the
Liberty Garden in December 2002, and have the project completed by September 11, 2003. They
would also ask for the City to maintain the Liberty Garden after it is completed.
The City of Bakersfield plans to make small modifications to an area near City Hall in memory of the 9-
11 victims, perhaps including some minor landscape modification and a plaque or monument. City
staff will be working with the Bakersfield Beautiful Committee to plan such improvements.

CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Section 108 Loan Application - Public Facilities:
The City of Bakersfield proposes to submit a Section 108 loan application to HUD in the
amount of $4.7 million dollars to provide funds for various economic development activities,
and construction of public facilities. (WARDS I & 2)
1. Resolution authorizing submission of the application to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. (HUD).
2. Transfer $210,000 from the Development Services General Fund Operating Budget to the
Recreation Facilities Fund Capital Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution for the submission of the application and transfer of $210,000
of general funds from the Development Services Weed and Motel Abatement Accounts to the Recreation
and Parks Capital Improvement Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On May 22, 2002, the City Council held a public hearing to obtain public comments before considering a
proposed Section 108 financing planned for the rehabilitation and construction of city aquatic facilities and
to provide funds for various economic development activities. No public comments were received at the
public hearing and it was closed. Councilmember Maggard requested that council action be deferred until
June 12, 2002 in order to obtain clarity on final costs and budget issues related to the construction of the
proposed new aquatic facility. The following report depicts the planned Section 108 financing and reflects
the final budget changes associated with the new aquatics facility.
Section 108 Financinq Plan
In a memorandum to the City Council dated March 6, 2002, staff discussed the possibility of obtaining a
Section 108 loan as a primary financing source regarding the rehabilitation/upgrade of swimming facilities
at Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jefferson Pools, as well as for construction of a new aquatic facility in an
eligible block grant area with the exact location to be determined. Section 108 loans are federally
underwritten loans that provide the City the opportunity to receive an advance against their future CDBG
entitlement by borrowing it today at a Iow interest rate.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
Section 108 funds can be used to finance acquisition, rehabilitation or construction of qualified public
facilities, housing rehabilitation activities and can help fund special economic development projects and
activities. The Section 108 program has been identified and discussed in earlier memos as one of the
most cost effective financing alternatives for public facilities and special economic development activities.
It is particularly timely to be considering a Section 108 Loan now, because the debt that was incurred for
the Holiday Inn Select project will be paid off a year from this summer. Thus it is possible by extending
that debt out additional years, to do a number of new projects without taking money away from any
programs or projects we have been funding in the past eight years. In order for the City to stay on track
with the construction schedule and meet the required budget for the new aquatic facility, the City intends
to expend $210,000 of unencumbered general funds currently budgeted in the Development Services -
Demolition and Clearance account and utilize $90,000 from the Economic and Community Development
Department - unencumbered CDBG funds in the Acquisition and Demolition account beginning in August
2002 for required property acquisition and demolition. The funds from the Section 108 Loan are expected
to be available to the City in late September 2002.
Section 108 Loans
A Section 108 Loan works like borrowing from the block grant. It gives capital funds up front to be paid off
over the years from our annual federal block grant allocation. Current Section 108 rules also require
backup or secondary collateral in the event the CDBG entitlement is discontinued, by Congress in future
years. The CDBG program has been in existence since 1972 and unlikely to be dissolved due to its
national recognition and popularity. However, the collateral must still be provided. The rules for use of
Section 108 money are the same rules as are now in effect for use of the block grant for projects.
Financinq Conditions and Required Collateral
Our original financing proposal planned to fund $4.7 million. Now that the final capital costs for the new
aquatic facility are finalized, an additional $500,000 of Section 108 funds will be needed to complete that
project. Therefore, rather than increasing the overall borrowing amount, two of the projects originally
proposed for the Section 108 financing, Youthbuilding Bakersfield and land for development of a Training
and Counseling Center have been re-evaluated and alternative resources and partnerships have been
identified to keep these projects moving forward. In this final proposal, our original amount of Section 108
funds remains intact. The loan repayment obligation on the new $4.7 million Section 108 loan will require
an annual payment towards debt service in the approximate amount of $400,000 (current Treasury note
rate) for a period of 20 years. The secondary collateral to be provided for the new loan will be the new
Aquatic Center upon its completion and if needed, the City's CDBG loans portfolio.
Below is the final list of the projects planned for funding from the $4.7 million dollars of Section 108 Loan
proceeds:
Rehabilitation and upgrade of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jefferson Pools.
New aquatic facility with a zero entry pool, slides, play area, and related, for a block grant eligible area
to improve aquatic opportunities and replace underutilized and deteriorated current facilities. We
hoped to include a competitive pool aspect but that may be dependent on a school contribution.
Southeast - Special Community and Economic Development Projects - Acquisition and clearance of
selected properties planned for future commercial redevelopment on/around California and for public
facilities such as the new aquatic facility and for special economic development activities (added to the
$1 million of CDBG funds previously earmarked for economic development projects in the Southeast).

Staff will be working with the Southeast Project Area Committee, the Redevelopment Agency, Recreation
and Parks, various public partners and private developers to advance the proposed projects through the
various channels.

other available funding sources, such as Proposition 12, CDBG and Old Town Kern Tax Increment to
further a number of community needs and identified special projects. Below is a Project Uses and
