CONSENT CALENDAR
Miscellaneous
Item 8u. Grant - Funded Bicycling Parking Racks. In August 2015, the City was awarded
$12,000 in grant funding for the installation of bike racks within the downtown area. Staff has
worked with community groups and local businesses to identify ideal locations for these racks
within City right -of -way. The grant funds will cover 100 percent of the estimated costs to
purchase and install the racks. Staff is requesting the City Council allocate the funds to begin
the work. If approved, staff anticipates the racks will be installed in summer 2016.
Item 8w. Thomas Roads Improvement Program Cleanup Actions. Two of the earliest TRIP
projects included improvements to 7t" Standard Road and planning efforts for the North
Beltway Project. The 7t" Standard Road improvements were completed, while the North
Beltway Project is not being pursued further. Staff has been working with Caltrans to formally
closeout each project and has established a proposed plan to complete the process. As
each project cost less than budgeted, the City will receive approximately $1.7 million of
remaining funds back in savings. These funds are part of the federal earmark, which are
being proposed to be applied toward the Centennial Corridor project. Ultimately, these
funds will reduce the City's borrowing amount for the project. Additionally, the plan requires
that local funds in the amount of $1.1 million be paid to Caltrans for some costs previously
funded with federal monies. In return, a like amount of federal monies will now be re-
programmed for the Centennial Corridor project.
HEARINGS
Item 10a. FY 2016 -17 Action Plan. The City's Action Plan is submitted annually to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive funding for

Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. The Action Plan is the second year of the Consolidated Plan
2020. Action Plan resources for FY 2016 -17 total $5,043,930. The Action Plan proposes to
continue CDBG funding for curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements within the El Toro, Union -
Brundage, Oleander, Castro and P Street Areas. In addition, CDBG funds are proposed to be
allocated for public services through the Bakersfield Senior Center, Alliance Against Family
Violence and Sexual Assault, home accessibility improvements program and to provide Fair
