AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS - OCTOBER 16, 2002 COUNCIL MEETING
October 11,2002
There is one workshop, which will be an opportunity for the public to comment on the Aquatic Facility proposal.
There are two closed session items, both of which are conferences with legal counsel regarding existing
litigation.
E ALEN AR
Consent Calendar items are explained by Administrative Reports. Those that should be highlighted include:
Resolutions:
Item 8i. Resolution Aperovino the Relocation Plan for Old Town Kern Mixed Use Prelect. At its October 7,
2002 meeting the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency approved a Resolution approving the Relocation Plan for
the Old Town Kern Mixed-Use Project. California state law requires similar action by the City Council.
Additionally, State law requires such entities to adopt a specific relocation plan whenever Iow- and moderate-
income households will be displaced as a result of a project assisted with government funds. If the Old Town
Kern Mixed-Use Project (entertainment portion and senior housing) is approved, three Iow- and moderate-
income residential units will be eliminated from the housing stock and the residents will need to be relocated.
Additionally, one non-profit and a few businesses will need to be relocated. In order to ensure that all residents
will have a suitable replacement dwelling that meets their needs, personal displacement interviews of all
residents were conducted by staff to determine what their relocation needs will be. Each business' and non-
profit's relocation needs will be unique, so interviews will continue to be conducted. The plan meets the
requirements of State redevelopment law as it is applied to relocation. Displacees have been notified that the
plan is available for review. No comments have been received.
item I~i. Resolution Settino the Dates of Renu!,r Citv Council Meetinos. Budoet Hearinos. and Deoartment
Pre~entati0ns for January throuoh December 2003. There will be two scheduled Council meetings per month,
except for the months of August and December, when there will be one. Budget Hearings and Department
Presentations will take place in May and June, with adoption of the Budget set for June 25, 2003.

A(Ireements:
Item 8o. Aqreement for Ememencv Dispatch Services between Kern Council. City of California Qity ~nd the
City of Bakersfield. Califomia City wishes to contract emergency dispatch services with the County/City Joint
Emergency Communications Center (ECC). The agreement calls for California City to pay 2% of the cost of
dispatch services. According to the Joint Powers Agreement, this must be approved by the City Council and
Board of Supervisors.
Item 8P. Metropolitan Medical Response System. The City received a grant from the Department of Health &
Human Services for $400,000 to prepare a Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS). A contract with
The Best Solution, Inc. in the amount of $63,000 is proposed to prepare the Plan. The remainder of the grant
funding will be used to purchase equipment, training, and supplies. The MMRS will include development of a
pharmaceutical plan sufficient to provide care for at least 1,000 victims of a chemical incident, and 10,000
victims for the first 48 hours of a biological event.
Item ~q. Amendment to Aareement with Versaterm. Inc. Reaardina Replacina Tiburon CAD Interface Software
with Versadex Document Imaaina Software. In May 2001, the City Council approved an agreement whereby
the City purchased new records management system software, and the required service and maintenance for
the Police Department. Subsequently, the City is replacing its existing Tiburon CAD system with a Versadex
CAD system. The Amendment replaced the Call Transfer Interface, which has been identified as unneeded,
with a new document imaging module. This change will not affect the total dollar amount of the agreement.
Item 8r. Amendments to On-Call Civil Enaineerina Services Aareements. The on-call pregram provides staff
surveying and civil engineering design services as needed for various ClP projects. Due to current and
anticipated work loads, staff desires to increase the total compensation amount for each agreement by
$150,000. The firms involved include Porter-Robertson Engineering, Ruettgers & Schuler Civil Engineers,
Mclntosh & Associates, and Quad Knopf, Inc.
Bids:
Item ~s. Awprd Contract to Compliance Trainina Services for an Air/Chemical Monitorino System for the Fire
Department in the amount of $30.021.41. One acceptable bid was received. Staff recommends award to

around the interior of the ponds. One acceptable bid was received. Staff recommends award to C.W. Neal
Corporation.
Item ~w. W~stewater Treatment Plant 3. Ground Monitorina Wells. This project consists of installing and
developing nine groundwater monitoring wells in the vicinity of Wastewater Treatment Plant 3. Installation was
originally planned for next year's budget; however, issues with the lease on the adjacent farm have accelerated
the schedule. Six acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends awards for the following: 1) Drilling and
installation of the monitoring wells to Bradley and Sons in the amount of $164,305; and 2) Design consultant
contract for construction oversight to Kenneth D. Schmidt and Associates in an amount not to exceed $49,620.

Miscellaneous
Item 8x. Aooroval of CDBG Action Plans and Amendments. The proposed amendments affect CDBG program
funds from Fiscal Yearn 96/97, 98/99, 00/01, 01/02, and 02/03 as follows: 1) Program savings from Wilson
Park ADA playground improvements to Planz Park ADA playground improvements ($36,336); 2) Reallocate
$235,000 from FY 98/99 designated for the Casa Loma #6 Storm Drain Project to the Jeffemon Park Swimming
Pool Rehabilitation project. The Casa Loma project, as originally proposed, has been redesigned and funding
will be considered in future allocations. 3) Expansion of the project boundaries for the California Avenue
Streetscape project on California Avenue between Chester Avenue to Union Avenue to Washington Street to
Oleander Avenue; 4) Allocate $200,000 of program savings of vadous completed Capital Improvement Projects
to the Jefferson Park Swimming Pool Rehabilitation Project. 5) Reduce the funds allocated for the operational
assistance for Bakersfield Police Southeast Satellite Office located at 11th Street and Lakeview Avenue. This
adjustment was originally included in the approved City budget but was not made to the FY 02/03 CDBG Action
Plan submitted to HUD May 16, 2002. The amendments to the FY 98/99, FY 01/02, and FY 02/03 Action Plans
were inadvertently included in the October 2, 2002, City Council agenda for approval before the 30-day review
pedod had expired.
HEARINGS
Item 9a. Public Hearino to consider Suoolemental Law Enforcement Services Fundina (SLESF} in the ~mount
of $512.269 for Mobile Data Comeuters and Radio Consoles. The City is due to receive additional funding from
the SLESF in the amount of $512,269. Before receiving the monies, the City must conduct a public hearing to
determine how the funds will be spent. SLESF funds received are planned to be used to replace mobile data
terminals with mobile data computers in police vehicles.
Item 9b. Text Amendment to the RiverLakes Ranch $_necific Plan. The RiverLakes Ranch Master Association
has requested to amend the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan to allow vehicular access to Coffee Road for
property designated multi-family residential and to prohibit vehicular access to Southshore Drive and Northshore
Drive for property designated multi-family residential. The purpose of the applicant's request is to reduce traffic
congestion within the existing circulation system of the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan Area.
The Planning Commission found that the applicant's request warrants approval since additional access to
Coffee Road would reduce the number of traffic trips on Northshore and Southshore Drives and improve the
overall circulation for RiverLakes Ranch. Traffic Engineering staff reported that the proposal for providing
access to Coffee Road would only increase the average daily trips on Coffee Road by 1,360, and that the
increase would have no impact on the existing level of service of Coffee Road.
Item 9c. Resolution Adootin(~ an Increase in the Street Cut WorkmanshiD and Performance Warranty Fee. All
warranty fees received shall be expended solely for the purpose of maintaining the workmanship and
performance of City streets. The Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee became effective November
21, 1997, and has not been updated since that time. Fees are proposed to increase 12.9%, which is the
increase in the Construction Cost Index since 1997. Fees would increase from $0.20 on the lower end to $1.10
on the high end. Staff proposes that this increase be phased in over a three-year period. This fee reflects the
current condition of the street being cut - the better the condition of the street, the higher the fee. The amount
of the fee also depends on the willingness and ability of the permittee to warrant their work in the street. Where
the permittee will only warrant the work for one year, they are required to pay the full fee, whereas if the work
will be warranted for twelve years, they are required to pay a reduced fee. Where the permittee is a utility
operating under a franchise agreement that clearly includes a specific obligation to repair the work, or who have
an agreement with the City to provide a similar warranty, they are not required to pay a fee.
Item 9d. General Plan Amendment to chan(3e the desionation of Brun,'l~n~ Lane between Oak Street and
Edison Hiehwav from "Arterial" to "Collector", Right-of-way along the length of Brundage Lane is not uniform.
Between Wible Road/Oak Street and Union Avenue, the right-of way is approximately 90 feet. East of Union
Avenue the right-of-way ranges between approximately 90 and 110 feet. The City Council conducted a public

hearing on August 21, 2002 and referred this GPA to the Urban Development Committee. On September 9,
2002, the Committee reviewed the GPA and made a recommendation of disapproval based on concerns such
as: Brundage Lane would shift from arterial to collector to arterial street widths and improvements; and many
businesses have constructed the street frontage to arterial standards, which would result in considerable
discontinuity of improvements and awkward transitions. Maintaining Brundage Lane as a planned arterial
accommodates the existing construction widths and provides for additional vehicular capacity should there be
additional development along Highway 58 and Brundage Lane.
pEFERRED BUSINESS
Item 11a. Aauatic Facility - Sizino of the Pool. Public comments will be taken in the Workshop portion of this
meeting. This item will provide the opportunity for Council to review and discuss the pool sizing options for the
Facility. Funding considerations for both pool options are provided in the administrative report. Staff is now
recommending the Olympic size pool based on conditions that include allocating the property sale money of
$531,000 to the project, entering into a contract with the Kern High School District for $500,000, closing two old
pools, expanding the site by 16,000 square feet, and making budget appropriations accordingly. Operational
and maintenance costs for each option are provided, as is a bottom line profit and loss for each pool size. To
narrow down the dozens of add and deduct alternate ideas, a program is outlined that is based on staff's best
judgment as to reasonable conditions.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 12a. City Physicians. As a result of an RFP process, four medical providers were selected to participate
in an oral interview process on September 12, 2002. The providers were rated on their knowledge of the
workers' compensation system, general medical competence, customer service, range of services and cost of
services. Based on the results from the interviews, and input from Fire and Police, the Personnel Committee
recommends approval of the following three providers for the new contract: Police Department employees will
utilize Central Valley Occupational Medical Group; Fire Department employees will utilize Southwest Urgent
Cars Center; and Miscellaneous employees will utilize Bakersfield Occupational Medical Center.
Two alternate recommendations are provided: 1) All employees would choose between the three facilities
listed above and Willard B. Christiansen, M.D., Inc.; or 2) Same as the original recommendation, but all new
hire and Department of Transportation physicals, and drug tests to be performed by Willard B. Christiansen,
M.D. Inc.

Ordinance amending Chapter 15.74 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to flood
damage prevention.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Between January 18, 2002 and June 24, 2002, the State Department of Water Resources ("State") and
the Water Resources and Development Services Departments of the City of Bakersfield participated in a
joint review of our Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (Chapter 15.74 of the Bakersfield Municipal
Code). The City's current ordinance was passed in 1985 and since then, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has revised the standards the City ordinance was patterned after, in order
to be compliant with the updated standards and remain in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP),
suggested modifications were forwarded to the City Attorney's Office. After a review and ordinance
rewrite, the draft changes were then forwarded to the State which approved the ordinance changes. Now
City staff recommends adoption.
These minor modifications and changes are technical in nature and are necessary to comply with the
FEMA flood insurance coverage program.

Ordinance amending section 5.50.300 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code regarding appeal
of revocation or suspension of driver's permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended for adoption by the Legislative and Litigation Committee at their meeting of September 23,
2002. Staff recommends first reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The current section 5.50.300 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code provides for a revocation or suspension of
a taxi driver's permit under certain specified circumstances, together with an appeal process to the City
Council in the event such a suspension or revocation is ordered by the Chief of Police. In an effort to
streamline the meetings of the City Council, combined with a perceived need to amend the Code to
provide more direction to the Chief of Police, a draft ordinance has been prepared. This issue was
referred to the Legislative and Litigation Committee for review and has been recommended for adoption.

Resolution of Intention No. 1283 to add territory, Area 4-18 (Miramonte, 178 SE) to the
Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily adopting, confirming and
approving Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption ofthe Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of
Tentative Tract Map No. 5518, Phases 1, 2 and 3 to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance
District as required by section 13.04.021 of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated
Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of a public park and street landscaping. Staff
recommends the addition of territory, Area 4-18 (Miramonte, 178 SE), to the Consolidated
Maintenance District. Area 4-18 is generally bounded by Highway 178 on the north, a line 3/8
miles east of Miramonte Drive on the east, a line 114 mile south of Highway 178 on the south,
and Miramonte Drive on the west. This area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit
and will be assigned appropriate tier levels when a park has been constructed and street landscaping
has been installed
Staff is recommending the new territory be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next
City Council meeting.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property described above which
waives the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows
the City to expedite the maintenance district process, to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The
owner also has submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating his consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the
Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling
unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider/developer to be recorded with
the subdivision map. A copy of this covenant is attached for reference

speed limits. The three different speed limits are as follows:
1.15 m.p.h.
a. At "blind" railroad crossings. (CVC Section 22352.a. I )
b. At "blind" intersections. (CVC Section 22352.a.2)

Januar,,' I. 1997 to set the maximum speed limit at 65 mph.
The CVC allo,.~.s the 25 m.p.h, speed limit to be raised (Section 22357) or the 65 m.p.h.
speed limit to be lowered (Section 22358) to facilitate the smooth orderly flow of traffic.
This increase or reduction is done by an "Engineering and Traffic Survey". The survey

Resolution of the City Council approving the Relocation Plan for the Old Town Kern Mixed-
Use Project. 0NARD 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution
BACKGROUND:
At its October 7, 2002 meeting the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency approved a Resolution approving
the Relocation Plan for the Old Town Kern Mixed-Use Project. California state law requires similar action
by the City Council.
State law requires redevelopment agencies and cities to adopt general relocation guidelines. In 1999, the
Council and Agency did so. Additionally, State law requires such entities to adopt a specific relocation
plan whenever Iow- and moderate-income households will be displaced as a result of a project assisted
with government funds. When the Southeast and Old Town Kern Redevelopment Plans were approved in
June 1999, a document entitled "Rules and Regulations for Implementation of California Relocation
Assistance Law" was also adopted by the Council and Agency, outlining the state requirements in
providing relocation assistance. The Relocation Plan for the Old Town Kern Mixed-Use Project is in
accordance with the adopted document as well.
If the Old Town Kern Mixed-Use Project (entertainment portion and senior housing) is approved, three
tow- and moderate-income residential units will be eliminated from the housing stock and the residents will
need to be relocated Additionally, one non-profit and a few businesses will need to be relocated.
The contents of this relocation plan are consistent with the guidelines adopted by the Council and Agency.
Approval of the relocation plan, which serves to outline what procedures the Agency and the City will
follow to ensure that the residents will have a decent, safe and sanitary replacement dwelling in which to
move, must be accomplished before any action approving the project can be undertaken. Additionally, the
plan outlines the relocation benefits which are available to all displaced persons, businesses and non-
profits and how such benefits will be distributed

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
In order to ensure that all residents will have a suitable replacement dwelling that meets their needs,
personal displacement interviews of all residents were conducted by staff to determine what their
relocation needs will be. Each business' and non-profit's relocation needs will be unique, so interviews will
continue to be conducted.
The plan meets the requirements of state redevelopment law as it is applied to relocation. A copy has
been sent to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review.
Displacees have been notified that the plan is available for review. No comments have been received.

Resolution ordering the summary vacation of a portion of the Public Utilities Easement
adjacent to the west line of Lot 21, Block $ of Tract No. 1472. (VVard 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Delmarter & Deifel Engineering found that the existing office building at 2901 "H"
encroaches 3.20 feet into the 25 foot public utilities easement at the rear of the building. The
encroachment was disclosed during the review of Lot Line Adjustment No. 02-0306 filed by Delmarter &
Deifel. The vacating of a 3.20' x 43.75' portion of the existing P.U.E. was made a condition for the filing of
L.L.A. No. 02-0306.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Water Resources, Development Services, and Economic
Development Departments have been notified and none have objected to the proposed vacation.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and have indicated they will not be
affected by the vacation and have no objection
Public Works staff recommends that the small portion of the P.UE. be summarily abandoned pursuant to
Streets and Highways Code Section 8333(a) in that the portion of easement has not been used for the
purpose for which it was dedicated for at least five consecutive years preceding this vacating action.
The City Planning Commission at its meeting of September 5, 2002, heard the proposal and found the
abandonment to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.

Transportation Impact Fee Agreement with Kyle Carter Homes, Inc. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of/he Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Kyle Carter is developing Tract 6013 north of Hageman Road and west of Knudsen Drive. Part of his
obligations as developer of this tract is the construction of one half of Hageman Road between Mohawk
Street and Knudsen Drive. Mr. Carter has asked that he construct Hageman Road at full rather than half
width, as it will give his tract better accessibility, and the property on the south half of Hageman Road (who
would normally be responsible to construct their half of the road) is not expected to develop for several
years
This part of Hageman Road is the last remaining link between existing Hageman Road and the City's
projected Hageman Road flyover project. Its timely completion is very important to the circulation of
northwest Bakersfield. In order to have this portion of the roadway completed several years earlier than
otherwise would have been possible, the City is allowing Mr. Cad. er to build more than his fair share of
Hageman Road and in return the City will allow him to have Transportation Impact Fee credit in the
amount of $516,000.00 for the eligible portions of this road (i.e., four travel lanes) and is reimbursing him
$282,53500 for the remaining portion of the road (the median and the remaining lane on the south side)

Agreement for emergency dispatch services between the County of Kern, City of California
City, and the City of Bakersfield.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement
BACKGROUND: California City provides emergency dispatch services for their citizens within their
incorporated area; however, California City wishes to contract this service to the County/City Joint
Emergency Communications Center (ECC). According to the Joint Powers Agreement #99-125, the City
Council and the Board of Supervisors must approve any agreement which binds the Joint Emergency
Communications Center.
The Bakersfield Fire Department pays approximately 40% of the cost of the Joint Emergency
Communications Center. California City's share of the joint costs will be approximately 2%. The share of
the cost is in direct relation to the number of calls received for service in the certain jurisdiction as
compared to the total number of calls received at Ego
The parties of this Agreement have determined that provision of dispatch services to California City
through the joint emergency dispatch operation will result in a more efficient and cost-effective provision of
dispatch services.

Amendment No. 2 ($150,000; for a total contract amount of $350,000) to Design
Consultant Agreement No. 01-209(1) with Mclntosh & Associates for additional On

Amendment No. 2 (S150,000; for a total contract amount of $350,000) to Design
Consultant Agreement No. 01~210(1) with Quad Knopf, Inc., for additional On Call
Civil Engineering Services.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendments.
BACKGROUND: To expedite delivery of the Capital Improvement Program (ClP), staff implemented an
"on-call" engineering and surveying services contract with local engineering firms which were selected
through a qualification based selection process. This on*call program provides staff surveying and civil
engineering design services as needed for various City CIP projects. The program has proven to be very
effective for providing timely design and surveying services to the City to enhance CIP project delivery.
Due to current and anticipated work loads for Fiscal Year 2002/03, staff desires to increase the total
compensation amount for each agreement by $150,000.
No appropriations are necessary for these amendments as these services are paid for from the budgeted
CIP projects funding.

Public Hearing to consider Government Code 30061 (Citizens Options for Safety) regarding
$512,269 Supplement Law Enforcement Services Funding (SLESF) for Mobile Data
Computers and Radio Consoles.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
As a result of continued Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funding, the City of Bakersfield is due
to receive $512,269 in funding. Before receiving the monies, the City must conduct a public hearing to
determine how the funds shall be spent. As before, the State has placed restrictions on the use of the
money, in that, it is to be used to supplement and not supplant the existing budget. SLESF funds received
in the 2001/2002 fiscal year are being used to replace mobile data terminals with mobile data computers in
police vehicles. However, additional funds are needed to complete the replacements.
Therefore, $400,000 will be used to complete the first phase of the mobile data computer project. In
addition, $112,269 will be set aside for the needed upgrade of Communications Center radios and
consoles. (Total cost for the Communications Center radio/console upgrade project is $500,000,
tentatively scheduled for FY 2002/2003)
Thus, the recommendation of the Chief of Police is to expend the monies on mobile data computers and to
set aside money for the Communications Center radio/console upgrade.

Text Amendment to the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plcn: GPA 02-Q62f), (Ward 4)
The RiverLakes Ranch Master Association has proposed to amend the text of the
RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan to allow vehicular access to Coffee Road for property
designated HMR/R-2 between Olive Drive and Hageman Road and to prohibit vehicular
access to Northshore Drive and Southshore Drive for property designated HMR/R-2
between Olive Drive and Hageman Road.
Resolution adopting the Negative Declaration and partially approving the text amendment
to the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan to allow vehicular access to Coffee Road for
property designated HMR/R-2 between Olive Drive and Hageman Road, as proposed in
Exhibit "1", and denying the requested severance of vehicular access to Northshore Drive
and Southshore Drive for property designated HMR/R~2 between Olive Drive and Hageman
Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The RiverLakes Ranch Master Association has requested to amend the RiverLakes Ranch Specific
Plan to allow vehicular access to Coffee Road for property designated multi-family residential and to
prohibit vehicular access to Southshore Drive and Northshore Drive for property designated multi-
family residential (see Exhibit A). The proposal would require the amendment of Policy 4.4(5) of the
RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan which prohibits residential land uses direct vehicular access to
Coffee Road. The purpose of the applicant's request is to reduce traffic congestion within the
existing circulation system of the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan Area. Due to the existing median
on Coffee Road, between Olive Drive and Hageman Road, the proposed policy would only facilitate
"right turn in" and "right turn out" access from and onto Coffee Road (see Exhibits B & C).
A similar proposal was requested by Fruitvale Properties, LLC in 1998 (File No. P98-0493). The
Planning Commission recommended denial of the proposal and the City Council denied the
requested amendment to the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan on November 4, 1998. At the time, a
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
significant portion of RiverLakes Ranch was still undeveloped. Generally, the residents living west
of Coffee Road supported the proposal and the residents living east of Coffee Road opposed it.
The Planning Commission found that the applicant's request to allow vehicular access to Coffee
Road for property designated HMR/R-2 between Olive Drive and Hageman Road warrants approval
since additional access to Coffee Road would reduce the number of traffic trips on Northshore and
Southshore Drives and improve the overall circulation for RiverLakes Ranch by providing linkage
between the collectors and Coffee Road. Even though past traffic studies (including the City of
Bakersfield Traffic Engineering Division's 1998 traffic study) have indicated the planned circulation
system of RiverLakes Ranch could accommodate the traffic generated by final buildout, including
the HMR-R-2 propedies, residents along Northshore and Southshore Drives have stated at public
hearings that traffic along their roadways has operational problems. The applicant's proposal for
allowing access to Coffee Road would facilitate the reduction in future traffic congestion and lessen
the community identified "operational problems" along Northshore and Southshore Drives.
However, the proposal to prohibit vehicular access to Southshore Drive and Northshore Drive would
nullify any traffic improvement gained from allowing access to Coffee Road. In addition, prohibiting
vehicular access to Northshore Drive to the school on Northshore Drive forces parents delivery of
children from the Northshore Drive project onto Coffee Road (arterial) to drive two miles around the
neighborhood to the school only a quarter mile away. It must be noted that the Southshore project
is an approved Vesting Tentative Tract and denying vehicular access from this project to
Southshore Drive is no longer legally possible. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended
that Policy 4.4(5) of the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan only be amended as follows (see text
amendment in underlined bold face type):
4.4(5) Access from residential land uses directly to Coffee Road shall be prohibited except from
Norris Road, Olive Drive, Hageman Road~ the HMR/R-2 land use desiqnations between
Olive Drive and Haqeman Road~ and RiverLakes Drive. Driveways or other access roads
for residential uses shall not allow vehicle access to Coffee Road~ except as provided
above..
The Planning Commission received numerous letters in opposition and in favor of the proposal. All
of the letters opposing the project were from property owners located on the east side of Coffee
Road. All of the letters in favor of the proposal were from property owners located on the west side
of Coffee Road. Those in opposition stated that allowing access to Coffee Road would increase
traffic congestion and traffic hazards on Coffee Road. They also indicated that the proposal would
negatively impact the existing linear park on the west side of Coffee Road. Those in favor stated
that the text amendment is necessary for improving traffic safety and reducing traffic congestion
within RiverLakes Ranch. They were also concerned that future apartment dwellers would utilize
RiverLakes Ranch amenities without paying homeowner association fees to maintain the amenities.
Staff from the Traffic Engineering Division reported to the Planning Commission that the proposal
for providing access to Coffee Road would only increase the average daily trips on Coffee Road by
1,360. Staff stated that the increase would have no impact on the existing Level of Service A of
Coffee Road.

A Resolution adopting the Street Cut Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee,
(3 year phase in period). (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 12.16.150 requires all permits issued under the
requirements of this Chapter be charged a nonrefundable workmanship and performance warranty fee to
the City. All payment warranty fees received shall be expended solely for the purpose of maintaining the
workmanship and pedormance of City streets.
The Workmanship and Pedormance Warranty Fee became effective November 21, 1997, and has not
been updated since that time. The Construction Cost Index has increased by 12.9 % since October of
1997 and staff proposes that this increase be phased in over a 3 year period as follows:
Current
Permittee with One-Year Warranty:
Pavement in "good" condition $8.50
Pavement in "fair" condition $4.25
Permittee with Twelve-Year Warranty:
Pavement in "good condition" $4.25
Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
$8.90 $9.30 $9.60
$4.45 S4.65 S4.80
$4.45 S4.65 $4.80
This fee reflects the current condition of the street being cut - the better the condition of the street, the
higher the fee (the maximum fee is based upon the City's cost to resurface one lane, and includes design,
cold planing, striping, raising manholes to grade, etc.). As set forth in § 12.16.150.A., the amount of the
fee also depends on the willingness and ability of the permittee to warrant their work in the street. Where
the permittee will only warrant the work for one year, they are required to pay the full fee. Where the
permittee will warrant the work for tweIve years, they are required to pay a reduced fee. Where the
permittee is a utility operating under a franchise agreement that clearly includes a specific obligation to
repair the work, or who have an agreement with the City to provide a similar warranty, they are not
required to pay a fee.

CITY MAN~ER
The City of Bakersfield Public Works Department has proposed an amendment to
Circulation Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan amending the
designation of Brundage Lane between Oak Street and Edison Highway from "arterial" to
"collector".
Resolution approving the Negative Declaration, disapproving the recommendation to
amend the Circulation Element.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution approving the Negative Declaration, disapproving the
amendment to the Circulation Element.
BACKGROUND:
The amendment to the Circulation Element changing Brundage Lane to "collector" status would
require a maximum right-of-way width of 90 feet rather than the maximum 110 foot right-of-way
required for an "arterial" street. Right-of-way along the length of Brundage lane is not uniform.
Between Wible Road/Oak Street and Union Avenue, the right-of way is approximately 90 feet.
East of Union Avenue the right-of-way ranges between approximately 90 and 110 feet.
The City Council conducted a public hearing on August 21, 2002 and referred GPA P01-
1025 to the Urban Development Committee.
On September 9, 2002, the Urban Development Committee reviewed GPA P01-1025 and made a
recommendation of disapproval. A variety of issues were raised by the committee. These
included the concern that Brundage Lane would shift from arterial to collector to arterial street
widths and improvements. Many businesses have constructed the street frontage to arterial
standards which would result in considerable discontinuity of improvements and awkward
transitions. Maintaining Brundage Lane as a planned arterial accommodates the existing
construction widths and provides for additional vehicular capacity should there be additional
development along Highway 58 and Brundage Lane.

Aquatic Facility - Sizing of the Pool
APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HEAD
CITY A'rI'ORNEY
CITYMANAGER ,~ ~/~
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the construction of the Olympic Pool, if the follo~ng ar
included in the motion to approve:
1. Appropriation of the $531,000 from land sales into the project, as well as the supplement~
appropriations and financial decisions incorporated in Exhibit A to this report;
2. Direction to close two of our older pools at the time of the opening of the new one. The decision as t~
which ones to be considered in Committee, with a recommendation going forward for a future Counc
decision;
3. Deletion of $220,000 in equipment from the project budget because a community group will raise those
funds. A list of the equipment to be donated, along with their commitment letter to the fundraiser, i~
attached as Exhibit B;
4. Acceptance of an offer, later to become a contract, with the Kern County High School District in th(
amount of $500,000 in capital contribution, plus billing at $40 per hour, plus cost of living adjustment.~
for maintenance. A draft of a proposed agreement is attached as Exhibit C; and
5. Expansion of the project pad to add 16,100 square feet - Y2 to be used for landscaping and ~ for th~
deck area. This is to expand the pool outward to the north, south, east and west. There are no stree
closures.
The staff recommendation has changed as a result of new money in the amount of $1,251,700 for capita
construction from the sate of property ($531,OO0), Kern High School District ($500,000), and communit~
donations ($220,700). The operating budget has also improved by $150,000 as a result of a commitmen
to close two old pools and $20,000+ per year for High School rentals. Finally, a design change was made
to add 16,100 square feet of space to the land area - helping to add substantial landscaping for aesthetic.~
and deck space to comply with High School needs. A revised construction budget is attached as Exhibi
D.
It is staff's opinion that 70% to 80% of the usage of the facility will be the zero-entry pool. The current cos
difference to build between the 25-yard and 50-meter is +$1.0 million. We now have a situation where
ATal

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
others, the High School District and community donations are paying the majority of these costs. TI'
operational cost differences are also being substantially addressed through rental to the School Distri
and closure of two of our older facilities.
BACKGROUND: There has been a massive amount of information prepared on this subject. Thet
have literally been dozens of questions raised, alternates, add-ons, deducts, and related. In an effort
give the City Council a reasonable summary, we put forward the following:
· The City Council has expressed a clear desire to do a high-quality project, whatever the water siz(
That which follows provides for that under either alternate.
All Council comments at the last two meetings have been directed either to the 25-yard pool or th
Olympic pool. No one has mentioned support of the mini-waterpark option. Therefore, the balanc
of this document will focus on the two options of 25 yards or 50 meters.
To narrow down the dozens of add and deduct alternate ideas, we are going to outline a prograr
that is based on staff's best judgment as to reasonable conditions. If the City Council wants t,
select other choices, we will hope we have the corresponding values in the file.
We propose to push out the pad of the 50-meter pool footprint as wide as possible within th~
confines between 13~ - 14"~, "O" and "Q" Streets to maximize space for storage, amenitie.~
landscaping, etc. We are not recommending crossing or closing any streets - it is too expensiw
and potentially disruptive to Centennial Garden parking. The cost to add 16,100 feet of space
integrated into the project budget. A revised site plan is enclosed as Exhibit E. The space woul,
be divided equally between landscape and hardscape.
If there is substantial demand in Bakersfield either now or in the future for competitive swimming, ~
is fair to ask others (swim clubs, community donations) to pay for the specialized equipmen
needed for that purpose in the Olympic version. Such equipment includes lane markers, reels
timing system and scoreboard, pace clock, racing platforms, and bleacher seating. The cost i~
$220,700 for the Olympic option. We have received a letter making a commitment to ~
fundraising effort of this type. The authoring group has a history of similar efforts, and we believ(
they will perform.
From the outset of discussing replacing our old, worn out, non-Code compliant, underutilize(
swimming pools, staff has indicated closure of these would be necessary to offset new operatio~
and maintenance costs. An example of the justification - last season, one pool lost $71,168. I
had 2,626 summer recreation swimmers and 1,472 "other" program swimmers, such as lessons
etc. All of the "other" users would be transferred to the new aquatic center. The total cost fo
swimmers not transferred was $71,168. Those dollars divided by 2,626 swimmers = $27.10 pe
swimmer. It also has over $106,000 in repairs that need to be done.
Another pool lost $76,563 and needs $105,000 in repairs. It had 2,713 summer recreatio~
swimmers and 709 "others" (all transferable). The cost per swimmer is $28.22. A table showim
losses on all pools is enclosed as Exhibit F. '

Staff therefore recommends that for the 25-yard DOOI, Council make an absolute commitment t(
ClOSe one old pool and close two for the Olympic. The exact pools could be identified later an(
processed through committee and Council. The savings to offset new operation and maintenance
costs would be slightly variable with pools selected, but in the area of $71,000 for the 25-yard an¢
$147,000 for the Olympic. That. plus increased rental income, is a reasonable Offset to the ne~
0perat on and maintenance costs.

This has been addressed as adequate storage space and competitive equipment needs, and costs
have been integrated into the project budget. The space added to the land pad helps make some
room for it as well. Similarly, a change in project scope will alter design fees. Those new costs are
also integrated into the project budget.
Attempts to respond to questions raised, follow:
When will Proposition 40 funds be available? How much will there be? Will they be available in
time for this project?
The City of Bakersfield will get approximately $1.5 million in entitlement funds, and there will be
categorical grants available - we believe for new construction. We think the state will have the
entitlement funds ready in 12 to 18 months, but there is no certain date. The categorical funds
would have another year or more after that. Unless this project is put on long-term hold, such
funds would be more appropriate for a second aquatic project.
What are comparative operational costs of the various poo size alternatesa
See the attached Exhibit G.
3. How much will the High School D str ct contribute'~
it appears to be $500,000, plus $40 per hour for maintenance.
What are the costs to expand the site across O Street.
To expand across "O" Street, $620,000 is required. Staff does not believe it is worth that cost.
A cheaper alternate is to expand the project for the Olympic pool out into outer limits of the right
of way on all four sides. The 13~, 14t~ and "O" Streets sides can be narrowed so as to use
some right of way for the project and less for the street.
Please note: in response to a question at the last Council meeting, the ice rink and aquatic
complex are west of the canal. The stadium was proposed east, and they are not on the
same rand area.

What are the costs for storage, bleachers, and other equipment needed for a complete 50-mete
project?
These costs have been integrated into the project budget. They are $321,020 for the 25
yard pool and $408,150 for the 50-meter pool. Of that amount, we are hoping fo
community donations to cover $220,700.
What are the eligibility issues associated with HUD for an Olympic pool?
Communications are attached. It is our opinion that given the financial contribution frorr
non-federal sources, the project would qualify. An analysis is attached as Exhibit H.
How many long-course swimmers are there in Bakersfield?
10.
11.
There may be 475, according to USA Swimming. We can not distinguish Iong-cours~
numbers from short-course, however. See Exhibit I.
List full potential uses for an Olympic and 25-meter pool. Estimate revenue sources for each use.
See the attached memo from the Recreation and Parks Department, as well as question 8
in the memorandum from Trudy Slater, both items attached as Exhibit J, which list some
uses. We were not successful in getting comparative revenue estimates for these
categories. In our revenue projections, however, we assumed rental revenue by the hour,
whether it is from lap swimmers or kayak lessons, it does not matter.
What amenities can be deferred, and how much can be saved to help finance the Olympic pool?
The water play equipment ($115,000) and two water slides ($125,000 each) could be
deferred. It is conceivable that one water slide could be deferred. If all the water play and
slide equipment were eliminated, we could have a potential annual loss of substantial
revenue due to a decrease in attendance. Retrofitting later also carries higher costs.
Other items that could be deferred are the shade structures at $20,000 each. Two can be
eliminated per scheme. That is also not recommended.
Can the Facility Replacement Reserve be used to help finance the Olympic pool?
Legally, yes. Staff does not recommend it, however, as its use here will prevent other
significant Council priorities from being implemented.
Can money be saved by combining the water bodies into one, rather than two?
This would be subject to the approval of the Kern County Health Department. If they were
to approve it, we could save approximately $50,000 to $75,000 worth of construction cost
due to elimination of equipment.

However, there could be an energy cost increase due to the water turn over requirement
of the different water bodies. The recreation pool must turn over once every hour, wherea
the competitive pool is required to turn over once every six hours. Combining the tw,
would require a turn over rate of once every two hours, thereby increasing electrical costs.
Other disadvantages include: 1) Temperature control would be compromised. Recreatio~
pools should be 84 - 86 degrees, but competitive pools should be 78 - 80 degrees, so botl
users would not be satisfied; and 2) Any hygienic accident or incident in the recreation poc
would require that both pools be shut down.
Explore the potential to partnership, both financially and othenNise, with the Kern Count,
Superintendent of Schools and Bakersfield City Schools. '
While other jurisdictions do this, we do not believe it is a likely scenario to develop here
Calls were placed earlier to the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, without a positiv(
response.
Will the expanded site meet the CIF (High School regional meet) regulations?
Yes, we have made that adjustment, and costs are incorporated into the new projec
budgets.
What past questions about alternates are not contained in the recommended program or budget?
Olympic diving or added depth for it, crossing "0' Street, and architectural shade.
Do not forget - we subsidize public skating in the Garden at $30,000 per year. That cost will ge
away when the new ice rink opens.

SUBJECT: City Physician Agreements 1) Agreement with Bakersfield Occupational Medical Center (BOMC)
2) Agreement with Southwest Urgent Care
APPROVED
3) Agreement with Central Valley Occupational Medical Group, Inc. (CVO)
RECOMMENDATION:
The Personnel Committee recommends approval of the agreements.
BACKGROUND:
On August 7, 2002, a request for proposal for city physician services was sent to 12 providers. Five
medical providers submitted responses to the RFP. Four providers were selected to participate in the oral
interview process on September 12, 2002. One provider was not selected for the oral interviews due to
their lack of occupational medicine experience.
The four medical providers interviewed were Willard B. Christiansen, Inc, (Dr. Christiansen), Central Valley
Occupational Medical Group (Dr. Davies and Dr. Sanchez), Bakersfield Occupational Medical Center (Dr.
Miller), and Southwest Urgent Care Center (Dr. Cousin and Dr. Del Toro). The oral board members were
Ron Fraze, Fire Chief, Allen Brown, Police Captain, Carroll Hayden, Human Resources Manager, Pat
Flaherty, Risk Management, and Jeff McHale, Manager of Workers Compensation at AIMS (the City's
third party administrator for workers' compensation claims).
Each medical provider was asked to respond to eleven questions in a forty-five minute time frame. The
medical providers were then rated on the following categories: knowledge of the workers' compensation
system, general medical competence, customer service, range of services, and cost of services. The oral
board members numbers were added together and a total score was given to each medical provider. The
top three scores went to Central Valley Occupational Medical Group, Bakersfield Occupational Medical
Group, and Southwest Urgent Care Center.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Currently, there are three medical providers serving as city physicians: Dr. Christiansen provides services
to miscellaneous employees, Bakersfield Occupational Medical Center provides services to Police
Department employees and Southwest Urgent Care Center provides services to Fire employees. The
Personnel Committee recommends the City continue offering three city physicians.
Based on the results from the oral board interviews and input from fire and police, the Personnel
Committee recommends approval of the following providers for the new contract:
· Police Department employees will utilize Central Valley Occupational Medical Group
· Fire Department employees will utilize Southwest Urgent Care Center
· Miscellaneous employees will utilize Bakersfield Occupational Medical Center
ALTERNATES TO PERSONNEL COMMITrEE RECOMMENDATION:
Because Dr. Christiansen has served the City with dedication for fifteen years and because only one point
separated the third from fourth place firms after the interview process, alternates are provided as follows:
1. All employees will be required to choose between four city physicians: Central Valley Occupational
Medical Group, Southwest Urgent Care Center, Bakersfield Occupational Medical Center, and
Willard B. Christiansen, M.D., Inc. Employees will treat with the physician they select for all work
related injuries and return to work physicals. No departmental assignments would exist.
2. Same as original recommendation but all new hire physicals and Department of Transportation
physicals and drug tests will be performed by Willard B. Christiansen, M.D., Inc.
