OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
February 28, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Virginia Gennaro, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
$3 Million Park Grant Awarded
Some exciting news as the City’s Recreation and Parks
Department this week was awarded a state grant for
more than $3 million to build a brand-new park in
southeast Bakersfield!
The new park, which will be
located on City-owned
property at the corner of
Linnell Way and Brahma
Street, will be completed in
two years, as is required by
the grant. Community input
not only helped design the
amenities that will be
featured at the park, but it also played an important role in securing the grant from
the state.
Staff’s application was one of almost 500 made through the California Parks and
Water Bond Act of 2018 (Prop 68). The department will receive the full $3.012 million it
applied for.
You can see a concept design for the new park’s layout here.

Notable Items
New City Manager Christian Clegg will be joining the City starting Monday, March 2.
He will be meeting with the local news media on Thursday, March 5, at City Hall North for his first interviews since he was named to the position in January. We are excited
to have new leadership and welcome him to the City.
The February 2020 edition of the Public Safety & Vital Services Measure newsletter was released this week. This month’s
issue takes a look at the progress
the City is making in completing
a Purchase Sale Agreement for
property on East Brundage Lane
to become a future low-barrier
homeless navigation center
(right); the progress of the
second PSVS-funded Bakersfield
Police Academy class; as well as
the agreement with the
Bakersfield Homeless Center’s
Downtown Street Ambassadors
program to perform general clean-up in Downtown Bakersfield, supplementing other
PSVS-funded efforts.
Next week 31 new hires will be starting new jobs with the City of Bakersfield, including
24 Fire Trainees with the Bakersfield Fire Department. This, as the Milken Institute this
week released its 2020 Best-Performing Cities study, ranking Bakersfield 138th out of 200 large U.S. cities for economic performance! The ranking is a significant improvement
from the City’s placement on the list of 162nd last year. Bakersfield was ranked 25th for one-year job creation (from 2017-18), just three spots behind San Francisco. You can
see the report here.
And the City of Bakersfield is doing its part to create new job opportunities. The City’s Human Resources Department shows the City added 150 new positions from FY17-18
to FY18-19 (120 of those positions were created by the Public Safety & Vital Services Measure and related projects). Also, between July 1, 2019 and Feb. 17, 2020, the City
has hired 172 people (32 temporary positions and 140 regular), not including the 31 starting next week.
Sales Tax allocations for the fourth quarter (October-December 2019) continue to
indicate higher than anticipated growth in this revenue source for the year. As
indicated in the accompanying memo, the annualized data for the standard sales
tax (Bradley-Burns) indicates a six percent increase from the prior year while the
budgeted increase for fiscal year 2019-20 was two percent. The Public Safety & Vital
Services Measure (Measure N) revenue also continues to come in much higher than
anticipated. The updated PSVS projection for 2019-20, based on the fourth quarter
General Information February 28, 2020 Page 3
allocation, shows that revenue now coming in at 20% above the budgeted amount, or $12 million. Detailed information from the City’s sales tax consultant is expected in
a few weeks, which will identify any anomalies in the allocations and provide a better understanding of what industries are generating these increases. Analysis of that
information is necessary before any additional adjustments to the budget occur.
The Bakersfield Fire Department’s Honor Guard
attended the memorial service of
Porterville Fire Captain Ray
Figueroa on Tuesday, February 25
(left). Figueroa was killed battling
a fire at the Porterville library the
week before. Porterville firefighter
Patrick Jones also died battling
that fire. Last week Bakersfield Fire
sent an engine company to
Porterville to help with emergency
calls following the tragic deaths.
Ongoing Kern River levee study and analysis is being conducted by the Building
Department and Water Resources Department. This work is part of a nationwide effort
to recertify levees and substantiate that the levees can safely retain flood flows from
a 100-year storm event. City staff has been successfully working with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for several years to recertify all the levees
along the Kern River though Bakersfield. The completion date to submit the required data and documentation to FEMA showing that the levees are adequate is
September 28, 2020. Once accepted by FEMA, the levees will continue to be mapped as accredited, which will show reduced hazards due to a 100-year flood
event. This is important because it demonstrates that the levees continue to be properly maintained and will continue to provide protection for the residents of
Bakersfield.
Congratulations to Brianna Carrier, an administrative analyst and budget-book
extraordinaire in the City Manager’s Office, for receiving a full scholarship to the International City/County Management Association’s 2020 West Coast Regional
Conference! Carrier was one of four California city employees to receive the
scholarship this year. The conference – which will be held in Vancouver, Wash., in
March – offers the opportunity to meet other local government leaders from the
region and develop new leadership skills needed to tackle issues cities and counties
face every day.
This will be another busy weekend in Bakersfield as the California Interscholastic Federation state high school wrestling championships have returned to Mechanics

BY THE NUMBERS:
Public Safety and
Vital Services
Measure Update
150 The number of beds that will eventually
be available at the new Bakersfield
Homeless Navigation Center to address
homelessness in the City.
Total members who are part of the
Downtown Streets Ambassadors
program contracted for general
cleanup in Downtown Bakersfield
and Old Town Kern.
After months of diligent research, searching
and debating, the City of Bakersfield has
been authorized to purchase property to be
used for a future low-barrier homeless navi-
gation center. In January, the City Council
approved a proposal to buy more than 17
acres of property at 1900 E. Brundage Lane
from cotton collaborative Calcot Limited for
$4.9 million.
The funding from that purchase was budg-
eted to come from the Public Safety & Vital
Services Measure (PSVS) as the future facil-
ity will address one of the top priorities
identified by the community.
Staff has already met with an architect with
experience building nearly 100 shelter facil-
ities around the state to start determining
the best layout for the interior and the best
use of the nearly 70,000 sq-ft of office and
warehouse space to house up to 150 beds,
medical and mental care service providers,
job training as well as other services.
HOMELESS SHELTER
AGREEMENT / PROGRESS
Measure Status Report: On November 6, 2018, Bakersfield
Citizens voted to approve the Public Safety and Vital
Services 1% Tax Measure. This report provides a snapshot of
progress made on the implementation of that measure.
February 2020

HOMELESS SHELTER AGREEMENT / PROGRESS CONTINUED
During the escrow period, current owners will complete some
repairs needed at the facility, such as updating the roof and
exterior painting. Calcot Limited will also be given a 90-day
escrow period to give them time to relocate their employees.
During that time, Calcot employees will remain on-site, but
City Staff will have access to the property in order to start
performing renovations and planning work.
The facility will be unlike other homeless shelters in Bakers-
field as it will allow clients to bring their pets, have a reasona-
ble amount of their possessions stored on-site, as well as be
admitted with partners. It will also feature on-site wrap-
around services to help get homeless individuals back on a path to permanent housing.
A formal Request for Proposals for a professional Site Operator was issued on Feb. 13
and the City anticipates the shelter to be operational by the Fall of 2020.
Public Safety and Vital Services Measure Update
February 2020 Page 2
The Bakersfield Police Department and the City continue to work toward the goal of
adding 100 new officers to the department over a three-year period, addressing public
safety concerns the public raised back in 2018.
The Public Safety & Vital Services Measure is fulling funding the hiring and training of
those officers. The second class of trainees funded by the PSVS Measure entered the
academy in December and have just completed their fifth week training out of 23 total.
The current class has been learning many important lessons they will need once they hit
the streets as full-time Law enforcement officers. Earlier this month they were trained
on Community Policing, Search and Seizure, Report
Writing, and Gang Awareness.
In the coming weeks, the trainees will complete
lessons on Cultural Diversity, Crimes Against
Persons, Property Crimes, and Sex Crimes. They
will also continue their physical fitness training and
arrest control technique training during that time.
SECOND BPD ACADEMY CLASS

Public Safety and Vital Services Measure Update
February 2020 Page 3
Since September 2019, the City of Bakersfield has con-
tracted with a local vendor to address bio-hazard con-
cerns from business owners and residents in Downtown
and Old Town Kern. The pilot program was so successful
that the City Council voted to extend the service beyond
the initial 90-day agreement.
At the same time, the Council also approved a $372,000
contract – paid for with funds raised through the Public
Safety & Vital Services Measure – with the Bakersfield
Homeless Center to use its Downtown Ambassadors program to per-
form general cleanup services in Downtown and Old Town Kern.
The Downtown Street Ambassadors program is part of the BHC’s Job De-
velopment efforts, with crews made up of clients from the BHC, helping
them develop their job skills and work ethic, as well as helping them pro-
gress toward eventual self-sufficiency and permanent housing.
The agreement with the program was needed as general cleanliness in those areas was
still a concern for the public. It also provides an opportunity for the clients of BHC.
Under the contract, six, two-person crews clean Downtown and Old Town Kern from
6:30 to 11 a.m. each day, Monday through Friday.
The employment of this program fits squarely
with the goals of the PSVS Measure.
This class is expected to graduate by the end of June.
The first class of PSVS-funded trainees graduated from
the academy in January. The class of 27 have moved on
to the next phase in their training – 17 weeks with a
field training officer, which started on Feb. 3 – and are
expected to hit the streets as full-time officers in June.

S:\Accounting\RANDY\Sales Tax\Memo - sales tax memo Feb 2020 - 4th quarter 2019.docx
MEMORANDUM TO: Virginia Gennaro, City Manager (Interim) FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director / RM
DATE: February 24, 2020
SUBJECT: Quarterly Sales Tax Update
The City received our most recent quarterly sales tax reports, which reflects the activity
and sales during the months of October, November and December 2019 (4th Quarter-
2019). The quarterly and annual trend information is as follows:
Quarterly data
Comparing the most recent quarter with the same quarter last year –
positive (+) 9.86 %.
Annualized data
Comparing the most recent four quarters with the prior four quarters –
positive (+) 6.03 %.
The quarterly numbers show a significant increase indicating improvements in local sales
activity, especially during the holiday season, when compared to the 4th quarter of 2018.
The annualized result of +6.03 also appears to signal an overall improvement for 2019
showing that we are well above the + 2.0% estimated increase initially budgeted for
fiscal year 2019-20. A large portion of the increase in the figures for this quarter stem from
what is called the County Pool allocation which in part accounts for online sales. The
Wayfair decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 requires online retailers to
remit sales tax on purchases to applicable state and local governments. That County
Pool figure likely consists of a significant amount of online sales for the holiday season
accounting for some of the increase. The City’s sales tax consultant will receive more
detailed information on the 4th quarter allocation in a few weeks. At that time staff will
have more data on the reasons for the County Pool increase and if there were any other
anomalies that could have inflated the quarterly allocation.
These results are related to our historic Bradley Burns 1% sales tax revenues and do not
include the Public Safety and Vital Services Sales (PSVS) Tax measure which are reported separately.
Public Safety and Vital Services Revenue
The City has received three quarters of revenue allocations for the PSVS sales tax and
the results continue to be well over the estimates established when the measure was
approved. As a review, the total revenue for April, May, and June 2019 was 10.6% above
the budgeted revenue for the 2018-19 fiscal year. Total revenue allocated to the City
for PSVS was $17.1 million compared to the budgeted amount of $15.5 million. The 4th
quarter of PSVS allocations total $20.8 million. While comparisons to prior year amounts
are not available with this source of funds, we can project revenue based on the trends
seen over the last 9 months. A conservative estimate based on our sales tax consultant’s analysis puts the estimated PSVS revenue for 2019-20 at $74.3 million which is $12.4 million over the budget for the year, or a 20.1% increase from the original amount. It should be
noted the Council and the Citizen’s Oversight Committee has approved new PSVS
appropriations totaling $6.9 million based on previous estimates of available funds.
We will continue to work with our sales tax consultant to provide more detail related to
industry group data for both the Bradley Burns and PSVS allocations. Industry related information regarding the recently completed quarter (4th Quarter 2019) should be
available next month.

Principled Policing
The men and women of the Bakersfield Police Department are committed to
protecting and serving our community. While national events in recent years have often fo-
cused attention on the problems of modern law enforcement, the
Bakersfield Police Department knows effective policing relies on a relationship of
respect among officers and community. When people know and trust their police officers,
they are more likely to obey the law and less likely to resist the police.
In our constant efforts to improve our police department and make our
community a safer place, the Bakersfield Police Department is training all of our
officers and staff in Procedural Justice. This progressive policing philosophy is based on the
four pillars of Voice, Neutrality, Respect, and Trustworthiness.
As a member of the Bakersfield community, you can join our officers in this thought-
provoking interactive day of training. Your experiences, perspective, and willingness to in-
teract will make a difference in the relationship between your police officers and your com-
munity. In return, you will gain real-life experience from the men and women providing po-
lice services in your neighborhoods.
You are invited to attend this training on:
Wednesday, March 11th, 2020
Time: 8:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m.
Location: Larry Reider Building, 2000 “K” St, Room #101, Bakersfield, CA
