AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS - JANUARY 29, 2003 COUNCIL MEETING
PRE-MEETING
There are four closed session items, 1) conference with Legal Counsel regarding an appeal of
license/permit revocation; 2) conference with real property negotiators regarding Mt. Vernon
property; 3) conference with Legal Counsel regarding anticipated litigation; and, 4) conference with
Legal Counsel regarding potential litigation.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Consent Calendar items are explained by Administrative Reports. Those that should be
highlighted include:
Resolutions:
Item 8f. Resolution of Intention No. 1289 Declarinq the City's Intention to order the vacation of
Camino Grande Drive to prohibit public access alonq the north side of the Bear Mountain
Coqeneration Plant. This item is due to the closure of Camino Grande Drive extending through
the old landfill property near the Bear Mountain Cogeneration Plant. The Cogeneration Plant has
applied for the vacation so a gate can be placed on the east end of Camino Grande Drive to
prohibit public access along the north side of the Cogeneration Plant. Staff agrees with the closure
with access reserved for emergency services, municipal services and plant operation. An
easement will also be retained for bike path purposes along the length of the proposed vacation.
Staff recommends approval.
Item 8q. Resolution confirminq assessment for sewer connection fee and authorizinq the collection
of assessment by the Kern County Tax Collector; Aqreement with property owner to pay sewer
connection fee in installments and notice of special assessment lien. The property owner at 2504
Teresa Way desires to connect his property to the City sewer system, however, claims that the
connection fee in one payment would produce a hardship. This resolution confirms the
assessment and authorizes the connection fee to be collected and paid in three equal payments
over the next three years.

Item ah. Resolution determininq that Novell software licenses and maintenance cannot be
reasonably obtained throuqh the usual biddinq procedures and authorizinq the Finance Director to
dispense the biddinq therefore, and purchase Novell Licenses from Compucom not to exceed
$136,000. The operating system software that the City uses is supplied by the Novell Corporation.
Annual software licensing is required, and licensing under this purchase will bring the City to a
current status through June 30, 2003. The software licensing from Novell has been negotiated
through the State of California Store process and the City of Los Angeles. Compucom has agreed
to pass the 53.6% discount to the City. The usual bidding process would return the same prices or
higher.
Item 8i. New Job Specification: General Services Coordinator; Amendment to Resolution
approvinq MOU for employees of the Blue and White Collar Units and adoptinq salary schedule
and related benefits for General Services Coordinator. This position was created for use in the
General Service Division of the Public Works Department. The specification has been developed to
coordinate and manage the work request system; coordinate the anti-graffiti crews; update
records; recommend methods for process improvement and quality control; and assist with
contract management.
The position was approved by the City Council at the January 15, 2003 meeting. The
Miscellaneous Civil Service Board approved the position at their January 21, 2003 meeting.
C.C.A.P.E. concurs with the proposed recommendation by staff to adopt the resolution and
approve the new job specification.
Item ak. Resolution of Application proposinq proceedinqs for annexation of uninhabited territory to
the City property identified as Annexation No. 439 located alonq the west side of Allen Road, north
of Reina Road. The proposed annexation consists of approximately 80 acres of uninhabited land.
The owner wishes to annex the site in order to receive City services.
Item 8m. Resolution addinq territory, Area 4-25 (Wall Street) to the Consolidated Maintenance
District and confirminq the assessments, approvinq the Public Works Director's Report and
authorizinq collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector. On January 15, 2003 the
Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1286 to add territory, Area 4-25 (Wall Street), to the
Consolidated Maintenance District. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide
for the maintenance of street landscaping and lighting in the Wall Street alley. The City has
received letters from owners of property fronting Wall Street alley which waive the public hearing
concerning this inclusion. The owners have also submitted Proposition 218 ballots indicating their
consent to the assessments.
Item 8o. Resolution urqinq the California Leqislature to reject the Governor's proposed shift of
Local Vehicle License Fee (VLF) Revenues and to honor the 1998 commitment to restore the VLF.
Budget cuts in the Governor's proposal of January 10, 2003, will have severe and dramatic
immediate negative impacts on the City's ability to provide critical municipal services to the nearly
250,000 residents it serves. Staff has drafted this resolution based on recommendations by the
League of California Cities for Council review and/or approval in an attempt to educate
Bakersfield's State Legislators with background information on the VLF, as well as on the critical
need for the VLF. Over 10% of the City's discretionary General Fund is based on the VLF.
Approximately 64% of the General Fund is spent on public safety. VLF has been a solid revenue
stream which makes it extremely important in years of treat uncertainty.
To reinforce the importance of the resolution, each Council member is being asked to place his or
her signature on the document.

Item 8p. Resolution establishinq the Chair of Urban Development Committee shall serve as the
Planninq Commission Liaison. Municipal Code provides that a Council Member be designated by
the Council to attend the Planning Commission meetings as an advisor, for a term of two years. It
appears that no ordinance or resolution specifies any criteria for the choosing of the appointee.
Vice Mayor Couch has proposed that the Chair of Urban Development Committee serve in the
capacity of and be appointed as the Planning Commission Liaison. The resolution establishes this
as a Council Policy.
Aqreements:
Item 8r. Transportation impact Fee Aqreement with Coleman Homes, Inc. for Tract 5934
(Estimated Impact Fee Credit - $125,000), located on Buena Vista Road and River Run Boulevard.
Transportation impact Fee credit is available for the traffic signal that Coleman Homes, Inc. has
constructed at the intersection of Buena Vista Road and Rive Run Boulevard. Coleman Homes
has requested that all credit available be applied to lots within Tract 5934. Credit available is
estimated at $125,000.
item 8s. Bakersfield Municipal Airport Ground Leases: Ground Lease Aqreement with John
Morehouse for purposes of constructinq an aircraft storaqe hanqar at the Bakersfield Municipal
Airportl and, Ground Lease Aqreement with Kurt Sickles for purposes of constructinq an aircraft
storaqe hanqar at the Bakersfield Municipal Airport. Bakersfield Municipal Airport has an area
available for ground leases allowing construction of owner hangars. Currently there are nine such
Ground Lease Agreements and constructed hangars. The term of these agreements is thirteen
years, which is consistent with the end of the last FAA grant with the option of three 5-year
extensions. The approximate size of the aircraft storage hangars is 2,000 square feet.
Bids:
Item 8t. Award contract to Utah Pacific Construction for $115,436 for the Colleqe Avenue Tank
Site Pipinq Modification Project. The City has a project to widen College Avenue near Fairfax
Road. East Niles Community Services District owns property in the project area and will dedicate
right-of-way for the widening. East Niles has buried water pipes in the project area and this project
will relocate the pipes.
This project is part of the capital improvement program, and funds are available in the project to
pay for these services. Staff recommends acceptance of Iow bid.
Item 8u. Award contract for the construction of the Bakersfield Ice Center. Since June 2002, staff
has been preparing the design and construction documents for the Bakersfield Ice Center and
Aquatic Center projects. Staff has determined that separate construction contracts should be
issued since 1) the design for the Ice Center advanced quicker than the Aquatic Center; 2) the two
projects require different construction trades; and, 3) the funding sources for the Aquatic Center
include federal monies while those for the Ice Center do not include federal monies.
in November 2002, staff began the process of pre-approving contractors to be on the Final Bidders
List. That process resulted in the following three local firms being approved to submit bids on this
project: Colombo Construction Company Inc., S.C. Anderson, and Wallace & Smith Contractors.
Since the scheduled bid opening is after the Administrative Report submittal deadline, this report
will be updated with contractor's name and bid amount prior to the City Council Meeting.

Item 9a. Hearinq to consider public testimony to consider a request by Hall Ambulance Service to

submitted by ambulance service providers. The new rates are to take effect on April 1st following
the public hearing and upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council setting the rates. The code
does not require action to be taken by a date certain; however it is assumed to occur prior to April
1st. Should the Council not formally accept by resolution the proposed charges or any
modifications prior to April 1st, the application to alter the charges would be deemed denied and the
current charges would continue to be in effect.
The City Manager has received a request from Hall Ambulance Service within the January 1st
deadline. Hall Ambulance has provided background information regarding the need for the
increases. The proposal by Hall Ambulance requests significant increases to both the Basic Life
Support (BLS - 50%) and Advanced Life Support (ALS - 25%) rates. Additional increases include
mileage (31%); Night Charge (31%); Emergency Response (77%); and Oxygen (25%). Reasons
given for the increase include changes to Medicare reimbursement, MediCal budget cuts,
increased staffing costs; and workers compensation and liability insurance costs. Ambulance rates
were last adjusted in April of 2000. Hall has made a request for the same new rates amounts with
the County as well. The details of the rate request and other background information is included
in the administrative report.

An Ordinance Amending Section 2.24.020 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code Relating to
Redevelopment Agency Membership. (First Reading 1/15/03).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
In 1986, the City Council ceased being the redevelopment agency and, by ordinance, created a separate
7-member panel to serve as the agency. The ordinance calls for the members to be appointed by the
Mayor and confirmed by the Council. It appears that the intent of the Council was to create staggered
terms of office for the initial appointments and, thereafter, to have all members serve four-year terms.
That intent is evidenced in by-laws which were attached to the ordinance which indicated that two of the
first appointed members would serve four-year terms, two members would serve three-year terms, two
members would serve two-year terms and one member would serve a one-year term, and, then all
members would serve four-year terms. Unfortunately, the language regarding the four-year terms was not
included in the ordinance when it was adopted. This ordinance amends that section to add the language
that all terms are for four years. That is the only change to the ordinance.

Resolution of Intention No. 1287 to add territory, Area 5-08 (Panama, Colony North) to the
Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving
Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of Parcel
Map No. 10927 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 median and street landscaping. Area 5-08 is generally bounded by a line 1/4 mile north of
Panama Lane on the north, a line 1/4 mile west of South H Street on the east, Panama Lane on the south,
and Highway 99 on the west. This area will be under the streetscape zone of benefit and will be assigned
an appropriate tier level when landscapin9 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.
A covenant will be recorded to provide future property owners with disclosure that this lot is within the
Consolidated Maintenance District. A copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

Resolution of Intention No. 1289 to order the vacation of Camino Grande Drive to prohibit
public access along the north side of the Cogeneration Plant. (VVard 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Bear Mountain Cogeneration Plant is now accessed from Alfred Harrell Highway to the
west and from Paladino Drive to the south. The County has closed the portion of Camino Grande Drive
that extends through the old landfill property. The County limits access to County vehicles, emergency
services and vehicles necessary for operation of the Cogeneration Plant. The Cogeneration Plant has
applied for the vacation se a gate can be placed at the east end of Camino Grande Drive prohibiting public
access along the north side of the Cogeneration Plant. The Cogeneration Plant is working with the County
on a plan that includes installation of an electric gate system for access control.
Representatives of the Cogeneration Plant, The County of Kern and City staff have met to discuss the
proposed vacation and any options. The group agreed that the closure with a gate at the east end of
Camino Grande Drive would be workable with reserved access for emergency services, municipal
services and plant operation. City staff also notes that an easement must be retained for Bike Path
purposes along the full length of the proposed vacation.
The City Public Works, Fire, Police, Development Services, and Economic Development Departments
have been notified and none have posted any objection. The City Fire Marshal notes that because of
grassland fires that occur in the area, Fire Service must be retained along Camino Grande Drive between
Alfred Harrell Highway and the Paladino area. The Fire Marshal is presently making further contact with
both the County and the Cogeneration Plant to determine if electric gate4s will be acceptable.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and Pacific Gas & Electric and California
Water Service Company have both indicated their existing facilities must be protected with reservation of
an easement.
Preliminary Notice was mailed to all land owners within a 300' radius. One owner expressed concern in
June of 2000, with the limited access being proposed. Jed Magee, owner of adjacent land to the east, is
also with Jaco Oil Company who operates well sites in the landfill area. Mr. Magee said that Jaco would
like to retain access rights through Camino Grande Drive and he will contact both the County and
Cogeneration Plant.

dispense with bidding therefore, and purchase Novell Licenses from Compucom not to exceed $136,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The operating system software that the City uses is supplied by the Novell Corporation. The annual
software Licensing is required to support our E-Mail, File Services, Print Services as well as the City's
security firewall and is licensed per computer workstation or e-mail address. The licensing under this
purchase will bring the City of Bakersfield to a current status through June 30, 2003.
The Software licensing from Novell has been negotiated through the State of California State Store
process and the City of Los Angeles and Compucom has agreed to pass the 53.6% discount to the City of
Bakersfield. The usual bidding process would only return the same prices or higher depending on whether
the vendor is authorized to sell off the State Store contract.

The owners of the above-mentioned properties failed to commence the required work as ordered by
the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed above were abated under the direction of the Chief Code
Enforcement Officer. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed against the property as provided
for in Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Property owners had been given notice of their
right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the City Manager or his designee and to object to
the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public nuisance. The Assistant City
Manager has approved the assessments associated with the above mentioned properties.
The Council will need to confirm the approval of the Assistant City Manager of the costs incurred by
the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be made a lien
against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.

Resolution approving minor additions and clarifications to the Housing Element Update of
the Metropolitan General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to adopt a resolution approving minor additions and clarifications to the Housing Element.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved the Housing Element on November 6, 2002. The Housing Element was
transmitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (H&CD) for review
and certification. H&CD requested that five items be clarified. Briefly, these items are summarized
below:
1. The fairly Iow density multi-family zoning actually results in affordable housing;
Multi-family development is permitted by right in appropriate zones and goes through a
45-day review process;
3. Discussion of the processing time for multi-family development needed more detail;
Homeless shelters are permitted by right in some zones but requires conditional use
permits in other zones; and
Information demonstrating that farmworker housing would be permitted within the city
boundaries.
Upon incorporation of these changes, the Housing Element will be transmitted to H&CD for final
certification.

Resolution Urging the California Legislature to Reject the Governor's Proposed Shift of
Local Vehicle License Fee (VLF) Revenues and to Honor the 1998 Commitment to Restore
the VLF
RECOMMENDATION:
Adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Unprecedented budget cuts in the Governor's proposal of January 10, 2003 will have, if implemented,
severe and dramatic immediate negative impacts on the City of Bakersfield's ability to provide critical
municipal services to the nearly 250,000 residents it serves. As the State Legislature is currently
reviewing the Governor's proposals and the budget crisis facing the State, staff has drafted the resolution
for Council review and/or approval in an attempt to educate Bakersfield's State Legislators with
background information on the VLF as well as on the critical need for the VLF, upon which over 10% of the
City's discretionary General Fund is based. Approximately 64% of the General Fund is spent on public
safety. VLF has been a solid revenue stream which makes it extremely important in years of great
uncertainty. Other revenues, such as sales tax, upon which the City also depends for its discretionary
funds, can fluctuate dramatically from year to year, creating both far-reaching economic and budgetary
uncertainties.
To reinforce the importance of the resolution, each Council member is being asked to place his or her
signature upon the document to doubly convey the message that the Council as the elected body of the
City of Bakersfield and each of its individual members, as citizens of the State of California, are in support.

Resolution establishing the Chair of Urban Development Committee shall serve as the

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Bakersfield Municipal Code section 2.28.060 provides that a Council Member be designated by the
Council to attend the Planning Commission meetings as an advisor, for a term of two years. This advisor
has been known as the Planning Commission Liaison, and has been appointed by the Vice Mayor, with
Council concurrence, in conjunction with normal Council Committee appointments. Currently, it appears
that no ordinance or resolution specifies any criteda for the choosing of the appointee.
Vice Mayor Couch has proposed that since the Urban Development Committee deals with planning
issues, it is logical that the Chair of the Urban Development Committee serve in the capacity of and be
appointed as the Planning Commission Liaison. A Resolution establishing this as a Council Policy is
attached. Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.

Since June 2002, staff has been preparing the design and construction documents for the Bakersfield Ice
Center and Aquatic Center projects. Staff determined that separate construction contracts should be
issued for these projects based on the following facts:
1. The design for the Ice Center advanced quicker than the Aquatic Center.
2. The two projects require different construction trades.
3. The funding sources for the Aquatic Center include federal monies while those for the ice Center
do not include federal monies.
In November 2002, staff began the process of pre-approving contractors to be on the Final Bidders List.
That process resulted in the following three local firms being approved to submit bids on this project:
Colombo Construction Company Inc., S.C. Anderson, and Wallace & Smith Contractors.

Hearing to consider public testimony to consider a request by Hall Ambulance Service to
alter the current rate schedule.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive public comment and bring back to Council a resolution setting rates for
consideration prior to April 1, 2003.
BACKGROUND:
The Ambulance Regulation Ordinance requires ambulance companies to submit their proposed rates by
January 1st each year and that a public hearing be conducted within 60 days. The Council may increase,
decrease, accept or alter the charges as submitted by ambulance service providers. The new rates are to
take effect on April 1st following the public hearing and upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council
setting the rates. The code does not require action to be taken by a date certain; however it is assumed to
occur prior to April 1st. Should the Council not formally accept by resolution the proposed charges or any
modifications prior to April 1st, the application to alter the charges would be deemed denied and the
current charges would continue to be in effect.
The City Manager has received a request from Hall Ambulance Service within the January 1st deadline.
Hall Ambulance has provided background information regarding the need for the increases. The proposal
by Hall Ambulance requests significant increases to both the Basic Life Support (BLS - 50%) and
Advanced Life Support (ALS - 25%) rates. Additional increases include mileage (31%); Night Charge
(31%); Emergency Response (77%); and Oxygen (25%). Reasons given for the increase include changes
to Medicare reimbursement, Medi Cai budget cuts, increased staffing costs; and workers compensation
and liability insurance costs. Ambulance rates were last adjusted in April of 2000.
A copy of the request from Hall Ambulance, with current and proposed fees is attached. Hall has made a
request for the same new rates amounts with the County as well. Also attached is a recent (April 2002)
rate survey done by the Emergency Medical Services Administrators Association of California of
ambulance rates statewide and a County of Kern Ambulance rate matrix.
