RESOLUTIONS
ITEM 8G.
In the first round of SB 2 funding, the State allocated 50% of the funds to local jurisdictions for planning grants to
identify methods to increase their supply of housing units. Known as the Planning Grants Program, allocations are
based on population rather than a competitive application process. As such, the City of Bakersfield is eligible to
apply for up to $625,000 in funding for updating or creating new planning documents focused on streamline
housing approvals and accelerating housing production.
As part of the SB 2 Planning Grant Program the, City proposes to apply for funds for three or more of the following
tasks:
Task 1: Site Inventory for New Housing.
Task 2: Affordable Housing Funding Plan.
Task 3: Affordable Housing Financing & Incentive Strategy.
Task 4: Adaptive Re -use Housing Ordinance.
Task 5: Updated Permit Software.
Per City Council goals, this task would include a focused effort to encourage more density and housing in the City's
urban core with the development of an Adaptive Re -use Housing Ordinance. City staff will submit an application
for SB 2 PGP funds with the attached Resolution to HCD by the November 30th deadline.
ITEM 8P.
At the August 14, 2019, City Council meeting, staff recommended the rejection of bids for the Bakersfield Police
Department Shooting Range project. The sole bid that was received came in significantly higher than the budgeted
amount for this project. The action City Council approved was the rejection of the bid and approval of a resolution
to dispense with normal bidding procedures, which would allow staff to work directly with the contractor and
vendors involved to reduce the overall project costs.
Staff is requesting approval of the amendment to resolution 121-19.
Approved: Alan Tandy, City Manager~
