OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
December 6, 2019
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
The Homelessness issue has been extraordinary with respect to the emotion and
strength of feelings and opinions which it brings. Those of us who attended the nearly40 community meetings preparatory to the vote on the Public Safety & Vital Services
Measure experienced it at every session. We experience it daily in emails staff receivesdirectly and as referrals from Council members. The same is true of monthly meetings
we have with Old Town Kern property owners, the Chamber and GRC. Congressman
Kevin McCarthy and Assembly member Vince Fong have held community forums
and it is there. When I speak at the various Rotary or Kiwanis club meetings it is there
also. It is there- triple strength- whenever a shelter location is discussed.
In my 27 years in this Community, few topics have generated this level of fear,
compassion, desperation, and urgency.
The only recent slight abatement occurred when the Council authorized the special
contracts for added security and cleanup as well as the action to strengthen the
homeless collaborative and to return to City Council within 30 days with a proposed
location. Those were actions positively received as has been the creation of the Rapid
Response Teams.
In September the City Council gave the City staff 30 days to bring forward a location
to construct a new Emergency Shelter in Bakersfield. At the first meeting in November
staff did return with a proposed location: Cal Cot. As with all other locations, this too
generated controversy. Staff was then instructed to do additional research, holdcommunity outreach meetings and bring options back to the Council on January 22,
2020.

Staff has renewed the letter of intention to purchase with Cal Cot and we have now
in hand a similar agreement with a property at 601 Brown Street. In accordance with
Council direction we have started outreach to both neighborhoods and scheduled
opportunities to attend meetings and/or to comment or question through email. Copies of notices and support material are attached.
It is safe to predict that neither of the neighborhoods will want a shelter and that the
controversy will be renewed and amplified.
It is also safe to predict that businesses, property owners, and organizations that have advocated and pleaded for a shelter will be extremely disappointed and upset if
nothing of substance is done.
Every now and again in public decision making there is no path that does not leave someone unhappy. This is one.
Two community outreach meetings have been scheduled to allow the public to offer
comments and ask questions about two sites identified as possible locations for a
future emergency homeless shelter. Staff is also providing opportunities for the public
to comment and ask questions via email if they cannot attend either of the meetings.
This action was directed by City Council at the November 6, 2019 meeting.
We’re seeing some positive news when it comes to the Public Safety & Vital ServicesMeasure (Measure N) revenue, as well as the standard annual sales tax revenue. The
third quarter (July-September 2019) sales tax reports from the State agency
responsible for the collection and distribution of this revenue came in at the end of
November. As noted in the accompanying memo, the quarterly comparisons of the
current quarter to the third quarter of 2018 for the standard sales tax revenue (Bradley-
Burns) does show a decrease but that is due to anomalies in revenue receipts where
corrections inflated the 2018 figure. The annualized data comparison is a more
reliable indicator of the sales tax revenue trend which continues to show growth. The
projection shows sales tax revenue coming in slightly ahead of the two percent
increase budgeted for the current fiscal year. The PSVS revenue continues to show
revenues coming in higher than originally anticipated. Projections using the third
quarter PSVS receipts show the annual revenue from this source at over $9 million
above the original budget for the current fiscal year. This is a continuation of higher
than expected PSVS revenues when the first full quarter came in 11 percent morethan budgeted in the prior fiscal year.
A meeting of the Citizens Oversight Committee has been scheduled for Monday,
December 9th at 4 p.m. The meeting will provide staff an opportunity to updatethe Committee on the implementation progress of Measure-related items and with
Public Safety & Vital Services Measure (Measure N) revenue projectionsexceeding fiscal year projections, staff will also be proposing a handful of new
allocations for the committee to consider. The update will be similar to theinformation presented at the November 20th City Council meeting. The proposed
mid-year adjustments reflect opportunities to accelerate previously discussed
Measure projects and provide

additional resources to continue established programs including the downtown
security and cleanup efforts.
Staff proposals will include:
1.Accelerating implementation of the balance of Police Department bodycameras;
2.Early acquisition of certain Fire Department equipment for Phase II of theMeasure Implementation Plan;
3.Funding for homeless-related services through the end of the fiscal year;4.Funding for the e-permitting project with Development Services;
5.Additional funding for reserves per City Council reserve fund resolution.
The Committee will be asked to recommend these items to the full City Council. Staff will then present these items for City Council consideration as part of a comprehensive
mid-year update in January or early February.
The refurbishment of the former Kern County Board of Trade sign is complete. For thepast few years, the large sign adjacent to northbound Highway 99 immediately south
of the Kern River was a decayed, rusted and graffiti-tagged structure that presented
a poor image of our city. County staff did not have the resources to maintain the sign,
and agreed to a request from City staff to
reprogram it. The renovation was
completed earlier this week and it is
impressive. The lower panel, which had
provided easy access to vandals, was
removed. The upper panel, which had
only faced toward the freeway, is now
two-sided, and can be seen by those
traveling at a slower rate of speed along
the Kern River Parkway Trail and the access
spur from 21st Street, as well as those
driving along 99. The panels can easily be
changed in the future. Design and funding were provided by Visit Bakersfield. No
general fund or Public Safety & Vital Services (Measure N) funds were used. Please
check it out the next time you are in the area!
We are excited to announce a new addition to the City’s social media family:Bakersfield is now on Twitter! You can follow the City’s account at @Bakersfield_Cal.
Expansion to Twitter will help the City continue to keep in communication with the
public. All official press releases from the City, as well as important community
updates, traffic alerts, job notifications, emergency messaging and other important
community updates when necessary will be posted on @Bakersfield_Cal. Everyone is
invited to follow the City on Twitter!
The new account will be in addition to the City’s continued social media presence
on Facebook and LinkedIn.

rainy and cold weather may have
kept some folks from coming out
that night, but there was a good
crowd who attended and enjoyed
not only the lighting of the tree, but
free music, dancing, a live nativity
scene, and Santa and Mrs. Claus even
made an appearance!

NOTICE OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS - NEW HOMELESS SHELTER
OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT: The City of Bakersfield invites the public to provide comments and learn more
about the development of a new Homeless Shelter to serve the needs of the local homeless population in
Bakersfield. The public is encouraged to comment by attending a community meeting at one of the dates listed
below, or by sending an email to CommunityOutreach@bakersfieldcity.us.
MEETING TIME AND LOCATION: The meetings will be held at 6 p.m., Tuesday, December 10, 2019 at Jerusalem
Church, 924 Cottonwood Road, Bakersfield, CA; and 6 p.m., Monday, December 16, 2019 at MLK Community
Center, 1000 South Owens Street, Bakersfield, CA.
BACKGROUND: According to the 2019 Point-in-Time count, there are more than 1,150 homeless individuals in
Bakersfield. 643 are unsheltered, which is an increase of 108% from 2018. There are currently fewer than 400
emergency beds in Bakersfield. This lack of available beds has led in part to increased calls for service to public
agencies and impacts to quality of life for residents. The City is working to address concerns raised by local citizens
through a number of new programs, including the construction of a new “Low-Barrier Homeless Shelter” which
allows residents to have partners, pets and possessions. Earlier this year, the City Council directed Staff to evaluate
potential locations that would be suitable for a shelter. Therefore, Staff visited and studied existing facilities in
Bakersfield and other Cities to learn more about “Best Practices” for operating and locating a shelter. After
searching available properties, Staff has identified two potential locations for the shelter:
Site 1 – 1900 E. Brundage Lane (Calcot Ltd.): a 7.24-acre office complex with 34,832 sq-ft of office space
and 34,975 sq-ft of warehouse space; able to accommodate 150 beds for the first 3 years with potential
for additional beds in the future; includes existing office space to allow service providers to be co-located
on-site; includes space for a future Bakersfield Police Department substation; includes adjacent 10-acres
of vacant land which can be redeveloped in the future for economic growth.
Site 2 – 501 Brown Street: a 1.89-acre property with 9,500 sq-ft of office space and 22,800 sq-ft of
warehouse space; able to accommodate 150 beds for the first 3 years with potential to add beds in the
future; office trailers or warehouse renovation would be needed to allow service providers to be on-site;
a dining tent and other portable amenities would need to be installed.
The Facility would be professionally run in accordance with a Good Neighbor Policy to ensure the Facility is safe,
clean and has minimal impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. The Facility would host service-providers on-site
to ensure that homeless residents are connected with resources to help transition to permanent housing.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Additional information can be obtained at the community meetings or at the project
website: https://bakersfieldcity.us/shelter.

TRIP projects are moving rapidly through the various stages of project
development. This report is to provide a periodic up-to-date snapshot of each project’s recent major
activities and progress. If you have questions, or need additional information, please contact Janet
Wheeler at the TRIP office, (661) 326-3491. Regular project updates are also available on the TRIP website
at BakersfieldFreeways.us
MILESTONES
Traffic was switched onto the new northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58
connector bridge in November. The old connector bridge has been demolished.
State Route 43 (Enos Lane) access on the north side of Stockdale Highway is expected to re-open
before the end of the year.
PROJECT STATUS
24th Street Improvement Project
Contractor: Griffith Company
55% complete; anticipated completion: spring 2020
Access to and from the north side of 24th Street remains closed at Spruce Street, Pine Street, Cedar
Street, and Alder Street.
Drainage work is underway on 24th Street, between D Street and State Route 178. Two westbound
lanes are open to traffic, but closures may be in place for side streets on the north side of 24th Street as
drainage pipe is installed across intersections.
The contractor continues to work along 23rd Street between C Street and M Street. Lanes have been
paved along the south side of the roadway, but manholes will need to be raised along this section of the
roadway prior to opening these lanes to traffic.
A section of new roadway was paved last month for westbound 24th Street between Oak Street and
Beech Street.
Roadway work is also underway at Oak Street and 24th Street and this work will continue in December.
Asphalt paving for this area is expected to be scheduled this month.
Electrical and irrigation work continues at various locations within the project area.

Centennial Corridor
All phases of the Centennial Corridor project are under construction. Final completion is anticipated in
summer 2022.
Phase 1 - Kern River Bridge Improvements
Contractor: Security Paving Company
95% complete; anticipated completion: early 2020
This phase constructed new bridges across Truxtun Avenue and the Kern River for the future
Centennial Corridor (State Route 58) westbound exit to Mohawk Street and widened the existing
eastbound bridges at the Kern River and Truxtun Avenue to accommodate the future mainline lanes.
Work on this project is nearing completion. Crews are currently forming and placing concrete for
barrier rails on the new bridges. This work will continue in December.
The Westside Parkway eastbound on-ramp from Mohawk Street remains closed as crews make ramp
improvements. Motorists wanting to travel eastbound from Mohawk Street can use Truxtun Avenue.
Paving is underway at various locations within the project area. Electrical and fiber optic work also
continues.
Phase 2 – Belle Terrace Operational Improvements
Contractor: Granite Construction
53% complete; anticipated completion: fall 2020
This phase includes the replacement of the Belle Terrace bridge and a new connector structure for
northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 traffic.
The new northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 connector bridge opened to traffic
last month. The old connector bridge was then demolished under a multi-day closure of Wible Road.
Construction of the Belle Terrace Bridge is underway and will continue into summer 2020. The bridge
will be constructed in two phases. Crews are installing formwork and placing reinforcing steel for the
bridge’s bottom deck and girders. Work will begin on the east abutment in December. Concrete
placement for the first stage of the Belle Terrace Bridge superstructure is planned for the end of the
month.
Construction continues on the retaining wall along the outside shoulder of northbound State Route
99. Wall construction is completed from top to the bottom in “lifts,” with as many as four to six lifts
needed at various locations along the length of the wall. Work on the fourth lift is expected to be
completed for the exposed portions of the retaining wall this month. Installation of the cast-in-place
textured concrete facing is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2020.
The current traffic handling configuration along Wible Road and State Route 99 is expected to remain
in place through spring 2020.
Phase 3 – Bakersfield Freeway Connector
Contractor: Security Paving Company
24% complete; anticipated completion: summer 2021
This phase of Centennial Corridor reconstructs the westbound to southbound loop ramp at the State
Route 58/State Route 99 interchange. The project also moves the southbound State Route 99 entrance
to the Ming Avenue off-ramp and constructs a barrier-separated connector ramp to Ming Avenue.

The contractor continues working on the westbound State Route 58 bridge widening and the new
southbound State Route 99 to Ming Avenue off-ramp.
Work is also underway on various drainage systems, the Elcia retention basin, and the new Belle
Terrace Pump Plant.
Phase 4 – Mainline
Contractor: Security Paving Company
10% complete; anticipated completion: summer 2022
This phase constructs the freeway between State Route 99 and the Westside Parkway.
Roadway excavation is underway between La Mirada Drive and Marella Way. The contractor finished
driving piles for the future bridge abutments at La Mirada Drive last month. Crews will be forming the
abutment footings for this bridge in December. La Mirada Drive remains closed, but motorists can use
Marella Way to cross the corridor.
Earthwork continues in the vicinity of Ford Avenue, California Avenue and Commerce Drive. The
contractor is moving dirt to these locations to raise the elevations in preparation of constructing bridges
that will cross over these streets. Pile driving began last month at Ford Avenue and California Avenue
and will continue at both locations in December.
Work on the bridge abutments at Real Road will also continue through the end of the year.
State Route 43/Stockdale Highway Roundabout
Contractor: Griffith Company
58% complete; anticipated completion: spring 2020
This project replaces an existing 4-way stop with a roundabout at the State Route 43 (Enos Lane) and
Stockdale Highway intersection.
Concrete paving for this phase of construction is nearly complete. The contractor plans to place
stamped concrete for splitter islands in early December and re-open State Route 43 (Enos Lane) to
through traffic on the north side of Stockdale Highway before the end of the year. Work will then switch
to the south side of the roundabout. Upcoming work includes demolition of existing roadway for
construction of the remaining splitter islands. The contractor will also build a retention basin during the
next phase of construction.
Please note: winter rain and other inclement weather conditions can impact construction activities and
project schedules. Many activities cannot be performed in the rain, when the ground is wet, or when
temperatures are too low. In addition, Caltrans does not allow lane and ramp closures during rain or
foggy conditions. Construction activities may be canceled and rescheduled without prior notice. TRIP staff
appreciates the public’s patience as our contractors make the necessary scheduling adjustments to work
around changing weather conditions.
