CONSENT CALENDAR
Consent Calendar items are explained by Administrative Reports. Those that should be highlighted
include:
Resolutions:
Item 8q. Resolution in Support of Real and Lonq-Lastinq Solutions to the State's Budqet Crisis. The
Instituters Citizens' Budget proposal advocates a 10-point plan to balance the California budget and
protect quality of life priorities. Councilmember David Couch requested the resolution proposed by the
Reason Foundation be placed on this agenda for Council support. The resolution does not endorse
every detail of the plan but does call on Sacramento to fully explore the ideas offered by the Citizens'
Budget before considering severe cuts in services, raising taxes and fees, or using bonds to borrow their
way out of the deficit.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
JULY 25, 2003

Item 8h. Resolution Makinq Findinqs and Determination Reqardinq Commitment of Unexoended Park
Acquisition and Development Fees. Park improvement funds can only be expended for park
development and acquisition. Moreover, the funds must be expended within the areas in which they
were collected and for the benefit of the residents of that area. Fees are collected as neighborhoods are
developed in the zones and as the funds accumulate over time.
Significant sums are typically required to acquire suitable sites and develop them in accordance with City
standards. If sufficient funds have not been accumulated, the already-collected funds need not be
expended within five years, provided that the Council determines that they can eventually be expended
to benefit zone residents. By making this determination, the City will be able to continue accumulating
funds in each zone until there are sufficient amounts to establish park and recreation facilities. Staff has
identified needed projects to utilize existing and projected funding in each zone. Existing balances in
some zones are not sufficient to fund additional projects; however, it is projected that the necessary
additional monies will be collected as there is further development in these zones.
Item 80. Mohawk Street Underpass Grade Separation Proiect. On behalf of the City, the Separation of
Grade District recently received Section 190 Program funding for the Separation of Grade project where
Mohawk Street crosses the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad. The City is now pursuing right of
way acquisition, design, and construction of the project.
The first agreement in the amount of $160,000 is with the District to provide preliminary design and right
of way engineering. The second agreement is with Caltrans to reimburse the City, up to a maximum of
$5,000,000 (the maximum allowed under the Section 190 Program), for work performed on the project.
This money can only be used for construction, and will be budgeted in the FY 2004-05 Capital
Improvement Program. An appropriation of $160,000 will provide the necessary funding for the Joint
Agencies Agreement.
Caltrans is also requiring a resolution regarding execution of this agreement. Staff is suggesting that the
Public Works Director be authorized to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
Aqreements:
Item 8q. Memorandum of Understandinq between the Kern County Superintendent of Schools and the
City reqardinq Crossinq Guard Services. In the past, the Police Department administered funding for
crossing guard services. Due to budget constraints, the allocation was reduced by 10% from $460,000
to $414,400. When the contract expired on June 20, 2003, a one month agreement for $10,000 was
approved, leaving a balance of $404,400. The service provider anticipates a 10% increase in fees, for a
projected total cost of $506,000, which will leave a $92,000 deficit. All affected school districts agree
they must share the burden of the shortfall.
The Superintendent of Schools agreed to work with the individual districts to establish an equitable
method to distribute the funds. This Agreement removes the Police Department from this task and
makes each district responsible for their own crossing guard contracts. The MOU will be for a period of
one year wherein the City will contribute $33,700 per month, for a total of $404,400. Both parties
understand that the current City budget may be impacted by actions of the State, and such acts may
reduce or eliminate funding which is planned for this program.
Item 8v. Construction Manaqement Services Aqreement with Parsons Brinkerhoff Construction
Services, Inc. for SR 99 at White Lane Overcrossinq Wideninq and Interchanqe Improvements in thu
amount of $230,172. Due to the complexity and duration of White Lane at SR 99 overcrossing widening
and interchange improvements project, a full time construction manager and up to three inspectors are
required to inspect daily construction activities. Public Works' Construction Division does not currently
have the staff to provide the inspection services.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
JULY 25, 2003

On May 27, 2003, the City received Statement of Qualifications from six firms. After interviewing the four
firms that were qualified, the Selection Committee recommends award to Parsons Brinkerhoff based on
their combination of qualifications and fee proposal being the most favorable to the City. Construction
Management Services will be funded by 100% Transportation Development Funds.
Item 8w. Contract Chanqe Order No. 4 to Aqreement No. 02-334 with Vadnais Corporation in the
amount of $114,085.62 for the Relocation of the Friant-Kern Canal at the Intersection of Olive and
Callowa¥ Drives. In order to construct the Box Culvert portion of this project, the Kern-Friant canal had
to be shut-down. Afterwards, the Friant Water Users Authority indicated that water would be turned back
into the canal four days earlier than originally stated. This caused Vadnais to accelerate operations. The
contractor has agreed to accept $13,354.33 as full compensation for this work acceleration.
Secondly, after the project bid, the Friant Water Users Authority and Bureau of Land Management
changed the required method of concrete placement for the canal liner. This alternative method was
labor intensive thereby increasing the cost to the contractor for this work. The contractor has agreed to
accept a lump sum of $100,731.29 for this change.
item 8z. Amendment No. 1 to Aqreement No. 97-179 with the State of California, Department of
Transportation Increasinq Allocation of Funds for the Q Street Grade Separation Proiect by $274,315.72.
Agreement No. 97-179 provided for the allocation of $4,864,000 toward the Q Street Underpass Project.
Since total project costs came in higher than originally anticipated, staff applied for a supplemental
allocation allowed by the State of $274,315.72.
item 8aa. Amendment No. 7 to Service Aqreement No. 97-140 with Tiburon, Inc. in an amount not to
exceed $81,860.00 for Police Department Computer Systems. In 1997, the City purchased police
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and records management (RMS) software from Tiburon, Inc. In
conjunction, the City entered into a Service Agreement with Tiburon, which must renewed annually. It is
important to note that the Police Department recently purchased new CAD & RMS software through
Versaterm. However, the existing Tiburon System and the data contained therein is still necessary for
the Police Department to function properly. Over time, the Police Department will cease using the
Tiburon system, and the annual service agreement with them will cease.
Bids:
Item 8cc. Award Annual Contract to Marden Susco for Fire Hydrants and Burys in an amount not to
exceed $400,000. The City buys fire hydrants and burys, and keeps them available for replacement and
to sell to the developers of residential and commercial development tracts. Since the Fire Department
must be able to access the hydrants at all times, this assures compatibility and standardization. Four
acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to Marden Susco.
Item 8dd. Pacheco No. 10 Area Sewers. This project consists of constructing a new sewer system
complete with sewer mains, manholes and a sewer lift station. This project is budgeted within the FY
2003-04 Capital Improvement Program and is to be funded with Community Development Block Grant
funds. Four acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to Sierra Cascade in the amount
of $856,500. Staff also recommends transfer of $80,000 prior years program and projects savings, and
appropriate $130,000 fund balance to the CDBG CIP budget.
Item See. Award Contract to Bowman Asphalt, Inc. for Kern River Bike Path and Riparian Restoration
from Stockdale Hiqhway to Manor Street in the amount of $1,081,778.11. The City's bike path along thu
Kern River stretches from Enos Lane to Gordons Ferry. A 7-mile section of the bike path from Cai State
University Bakersfield to Manor Street does not meet the current standard width of 12 feet and is in poor
condition. This project consists of resurfacing this section of the bike path and widening to current
standards. The project also involves minor changes to the bike path alignment to soften sharp curves at
several locations, provide a landscape barrier between the bike path and Truxtun Avenue near Coffee

Road, construct a pedestrian bridge over the Arvin-Edison Canal near Coffee R~ad, construct slope
paving under State Route 99 to prevent erosion, expand the parking lot at Manor Street, and construct a
landscaped rest area with water fountains near Manor Street underpass.
This project also includes riparian restoration (native plants and wildlife habitats) along the Kern River
Parkway from Stockdale Highway to Calloway Drive. Over 650 new trees will be planted on both sides of
the bike path from Stockdale Highway to Calloway Drive. In addition, the bike path will be extended over
the Bellevue Weir to the north side of the Kern River and around the reservoir adjacent to the future
soccer park, which also includes planting trees on both sides of the path.
This project is 100% funded with State's Prop 12 and Prop 13 money which is currently available within
the Water Resources Department Capital Improvement Budget. On July 9, four acceptable bids were
received. Staff recommends award to Bowman Asphalt, Inc.
Item 8hh. Reiect all bids for Chester Avenue Streetscape Proiect from 34th Street to West Columbus.
Three bids were received, and all were significantly in excess of the Engineer's Estimate of $339,30u
and $334,000 in funds available from Community and Economic Development. After reviewing the bids,
staff is proposing to modify the scope of work under this project as follows: 1) Delete the median street
lights from the project; 2) Remove the Traffic Signal Modification at West Columbus Street and Chester
Avenue from the contract and have City crews complete this portion of work; and 3) Remove the
landscaping from the contract and have City crews perform the landscape work after the contractor has
completed the balance of the project. The City will absorb the cost of design and construction
engineering, cost of traffic signal modification, and landscaping labor. Staff recommends re-advertising
this project after City crews have completed the traffic signal modification.
Item 8ii. Reject all bids for water truck for the Solid Waste Division of Public Works. Due to budget
constraints, the Public Works Director recommends all bids be rejected and to re-evaluate the need for
the water truck at a later date.
Miscellaneous:
Item 8kk. Emerqency Authorization to Appropriate $382,000 in Additional Buildinq Fee Revenues to the
Buildinq Division Operatinq Budqet for Four Additional Buildinq Inspectors and Transfer $75,200 to the
Equipment Fund for Vehicles. The Building Division has been overwhelmed by an exceptionally
prolonged high level of building activity, and all indications are that it will continue well into the future. As
a result, the Building Division has fallen behind in staffing to respond to the need for increased
inspections. At least four additional inspectors are required to satisfy the obligation to protect the public
safety and certification that builders have complied with. The estimated cost to fund the four positions is
$306,800 plus a one time cost of $75,200 for equipment and vehicles for a total appropriation of
$382,000. This money comes from fees and can only be used for costs associated with those fees. It
has no impact on discretionary General Fund costs.
Item II. Award Contract to S.C. Anderson, Inc. for Construction of the McMurtrey Aquatic Center in the
amount of $5,853.800. In February 2003, staff began the process of pre-approving contractors for the
aquatic center. That process resulted in the following two local firms being approved to submit bids on
this project: Colombo Construction Company Inc. and S.C. Anderson, Inc. Although S.C. Anderson is
the apparent Iow bidder, the bid amount exceeded the Engineer's Estimate. Staff met with S.C.
Anderson, Inc., and developed alternate designs and/or construction methods on various elements of the
project with the goal of reducing the costs to construct the project. None of the above revisions
adversely affect the quality of the project.

Staff located additional funding for the project and recommends appropriation and transfer of $101,000
Sewer Enterprise Funds to the Capital Improvement Budget, and transfer $103,000 CDBG funds from
the 19th and Eye Street Streetscape project. These CDBG funds will be rebudgeted in FY 2004-05 CIP
budget.
HEARINGS
Item 9a. Public Hearinq to Determine Whether the Public Interest and Necessity Require Acquisition by
Eminent Domain of an Interest in Property Located at the Southeast Corner of Coffee Road and Downinq
Avenue for the Wideninq of Coffee Road and Downinq Avenue. The City plans to widen Coffee Road
and Downing Avenue to enhance traffic flow and safety, and to promote development of the northwest
region of the City. Included will be a right turn lane from northbound Coffee to eastbound Downing and a
traffic signal. The property owner was given a reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard on the
matter. Council must adopt a Resolution of Necessity authorizing the initiation of an eminent domain
action. The Resolution of Necessity must be adopted by a vote of two-thirds of all the members of the
Council, not two-thirds of a quorum of the members present.
Item 9b. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe for 80 acres Located at the Southwest Corner of
Kratzmeyer Road and Allen Road. This amendment to the General Plan would permit the development
of single family residential units and retail commercial. As a result of citizen concerns regarding the
commercial center, the Planning Commission recommended a Planned Commercial Development (PCD)
overlay to provide greater control over the final design of the project. The applicant agreed to all
conditions and mitigation for the project. Air quality impacts and mitigation were incorporated into the
conditions of approval.
Item 9c. General Plan Amendment/Riverlakes Ranch Specific Plan/Zone. Kyle Carter Homes is
requesting the Specific Plan Amendment changing the land use designation on 9,941 square feet zoned
for parks and recreation to Low Medium Density Residential and from residential to park use on 2,695
square feet. Secondly, they request an amendment to the zoning ordinance changing the zoning from
Open Space to Limited Multiple-Family Dwelling on 9,941 square feet and from multi-family residential to
open space on 2,695 square feet, all within the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan boundaries. This is an
exchange of land between Kyle Carter Homes and RiverLakes Golf Course, LLC, which should not have
any affect on the surrounding land uses.
Item 9d. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe for 81.10 Acres Located Approximately 1,600 Feet
South of SR 58 between the Extensions of Zephyr Lane, Shirley Lane, Sterlinq Road and Osweli Street.
Mclntosh & Associates is requesting a General Plan Amendment to the Land Use Element of the
Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan for the purpose of constructing single-family dwellings. The
applicant is also requesting an amendment to the zoning ordinance changing the zoning from
Agricultural to a more restrictive zoning for One-Family Dwelling/Planned Unit Development. The area
is presently under Kern County jurisdiction, but is involved in the annexation process that is expected to
be complete in six to nine months. The Planning Commission conducted public hearings on this item on
June 19, 2003 and no significant issues were raised by the public or any affected public agency.
Item 9e. Concurrent General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe for 98.2 Acres Property Located Adiacent
on the West Side of Cottonwood Road, between East Pacheco Road and East Fairview Road. The
applicant proposes a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to develop single family residences
on 81.7 acres, multi-family residences on 4.5 acres, and commercial on 12 acres. The project site is
98.2 acres in size and is currently being processed for annexation. The project site is currently
designated and zoned for agricultural land use. The project provides a logical extension for residential
and commercial development in the Southeast portion of Bakersfield.

Item 9f. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe to Acknowledqe Existinq Uses on 21 SeParate Sites
which are Known to be Incorrectly Desiqnated Zones. The Planning Department initiated this project to
acknowledge the actual use of land on 21 separate sites. The purpose of this proposal is to more
accurately depict the actual use of the property for both land use inventory reasons and to help locate
public facilities such as schools and parks when using computer generated display maps at City Council
meetings. The actual changes involve: 5 cases where apartments have been approved by Conditional
Use Permit within commercial zones; 11 cases involving public schools. (Public schools are a separate
political entity from the City and require no entitlements to be established.); 3 parks within the North of
the River Recreation and Park District need to be depicted on the land use map to accurately reflect new
available recreational facilities; and 2 recently annexed areas, both developed, were incorrectly
designated and the land use designations proposed accurately reflect the existing residential density.
Item 9q. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe for 20 Acres Located Alonq the North Side of Hoskina
Avenue, Generally Between Wible Road and State Route 99. This amendment to the General Plan
would permit the development of single family residential units.
REPORTS
Item 10a. Urban Development Committee Report No. 1-03 on the Reqional Transportation Impact
Fee Phase III Proqram. The Transportation Impact Fee program is a development fee designed to
collect money from new development to pay for the regional traffic impacts of that new development.
Funds collected have been used to install numerous traffic signals, construct expanded intersections,
add lanes to existing arterials, and to construct railroad grade separations.
At the Urban Development Committee meeting of July 23, 2003, staff presented information on an
update to the Regional Transportation Impact Fee, referred to as the "Phase II1" program, which will
provide for transportation improvements for the Metropolitan Bakersfield area. This program must be
adopted jointly by the Council and Board of Supervisors, so staff is encouraged to move this item
forward in a timely manner so the required public hearings can be conducted, and the proposed fee
may be considered at the joint meeting on September 15, 2003. The date that this fee would become
effective will be 60 days after its adoption by both jurisdictions.
The adoption of this fee will not affect any project, building or vested subdivision map currently being
reviewed by the City. The new Phase III fee will only affect those projects, buildings and subdivisions
that are started after the effective date of the fee.
DEFERRED BUSINESS
item 11a. Continued Review of Ambulance Rate Modification. This item will only be heard if it is not

NEW BUSINESS
Item 12a. Resolution Chanqinq the Name of the Urban Development Committee. Vice Mayor Couch

ITEM: ,.~, ~,

FROM: John W. Stinson, Assistant City Manager DEPARTMENT HEAD ~
DATE: July 24, 2003 CITY ATTORNEY ~.,
CITY MANAGER ~
SUBJECT:
Continued consideration of ambulance rate review and possible adoption of ambulance rate
modifications.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council determination.
BACKGROUND: At the July 9th City Council meeting, the consulting firm of Health Analytics
presented the rate modification study to analyze the rate increase requested by Hall Ambulance Co.
Included in the study was ambulance rate survey information, a financial review of Hall Ambulance and
related companies, Medicare reimbursement impacts, ambulance service cost analysis, and an
assessment of the value of ambulance service provided by Hall Ambulance related to response times
and other service information.
As the Consultant's report was quite lengthy and complex, the Council deferred further consideration of
the recommendations to the July 30th meeting. The Consultant is recommending a general ambulance
rate increase of 31.3%, which would allow Hall Ambulance a 12.5% profit margin (based on their
current cost and expected collection rates under the new ambulance charges). The Consultant states
that the recommendation is on aggregate, 4.6% less than what was requested by Hall Ambulance. The
Consultant indicates in the report that it is important to understand that a 31.3% rate increase will only
yield a 12% increase in net dollars collected (roughly $42.06 per transport). Although the Consultant is
recommending rates based on a 12.5% profit margin, they have also included rates which the Council
could consider for a range of profit margins of 10% or 15%. Additional recommendations are made in
the report for changing the rate request process and against the use of a CPI for determining future rate
increases.
The report includes an ambulance rate survey which was conducted by the Consultant that includes
cities with higher and lower populations than Bakersfield. The results showed that Hall's current rates
are at the lower end of the range for the cities studied. The rates requested by Hall would push them
toward the higher end of that spectrum. However, many of the participants stated they will also be
increasing rates in the very near future due to the impact of the new Medicare fee schedule. This report
also provides a great deal of discussion about the limited usefulness of any such rate comparison
surveys due to differences in EMS system design and the effect that system design has on a given
provider's cost of delivering its services.

The Consultant will be present at the meeting to answer any questions regarding the report and the
recommendations. Vice-Mayor Couch has requested several additional rate schedules for Council
consideration from the Consultant which are included with this administrative report. The Council may
discuss and consider the report and at its discretion consider modifying the ambulance rates pursuant
to City Ordinances which provide for increasing, decreasing or taking no action regarding the proposed
ambulance rate increase.
This item is scheduled for discussion at 5:15 p.m. If this item is not completed in the allotted time, it will
be continued later in the Council meeting under Deferred Business.

RECOMMENDATION:
Appointment of Administrative Analyst Trudy Slater as League Voting Delegate and Assistant City
Manager Alan Christensen as Alternate.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, as part of the City's membership in the League of California Cities, the City Council appoints
a Voting Delegate and Alternate to represent the City's position on resolutions at the annual business
meeting of the League's Annual Conference. This information is provided ahead of time so that proper
records may be established for the Annual Conference which is being held September 7-10, 2003 in
Sacramento. The annual business meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 10, beginning at
10:00 a.m. at the Sacramento Convention Center.
The Legislative and Litigation Committee met on July 21, 2003, to discuss this issue. Appointees for
Council approval have traditionally been recommended by the Legislative and Litigation Committee.
The Delegate and Alternate are typically appointed from among elected leaders attending the Annual
Conference although staff members have been appointed when Mayoral and Council schedules conflict
with the timing of the Annual Business Meeting. This year's Annual Business Meeting in Sacramento is
scheduled the same day as a City Council meeting.
The Legislative and Litigation Committee is, therefore, recommending that Council appoint
Administrative Analyst Trudy Slater as this year's League Voting Delegate and Assistant City Manager
Alan Christensen as Alternate.

RECOMMENDATION:
To be determined by Council.
BACKGROUND:
At the Council meeting of June 25, 2003, Dr. Adrian Moore spoke on behalf of the Reason Public Policy
Institute's (Reason Foundation) proposal for Real and Long-Lasting Solutions to the State's Budget
Crisis. The Institute's Citizens' Budget proposal, a line-by-line analysis of the Governor's proposed
budget, advocates a 10-point plan to balance the California budget and protect quality of life priorities.
The Institute invites individuals, trade associations, interest groups, local governments and school
boards to adopt a resolution in support of the overall approach advocated by the Citizens' Budget. The
Reason Public Policy Institute is a public policy think tank promoting choice, competition, and dynamic
market economy as the foundation for human dignity and progress.
Councilmember David Couch has requested the resolution proposed by the Reason Foundation be
placed on tonight's agenda for Council support. The attached resolution does not endorse every detail
of the plan but does call on Sacramento to fully explore the ideas offered by the Citizens' Budget before
considering draconian cuts in services, raising taxes and fees, or using bonds to borrow their way out of
the deficit.
The Reason Foundation's proposed resolution has been slightly modified to indicate support by the City
of Bakersfield.

CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:
Resolution making findings and determination regarding commitment of unexpended Park
Acquisition and Development fees
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution committing unexpended Park Acquisition and Development fees.
BACKGROUND:
In 1990, the City Council adopted two ordinances relating to park land dedication and development. One
ordinance requires developers to set aside land and/or pay in-lieu fees for park land purposes (BMC Ch.
15.80), The other ordinance requires the builders to pay fees for the development of the park site (BMC
Ch. 15.82).
The State Government Code (§66001(d)) and the Bakersfield Municipal Code require the Council to make
periodic findings and determination of any remaining funds unexpended or uncommitted after they have
been held for five or more years after deposit of fees. The State Government Code requires local
agencies "for the 5th fiscal year following the first deposit into an account or fund, and every 5 years
thereafter, to include specified information in findings relating to the funding of a project". Current practice
is to make such findings for the 5th fiscal year following deposit and every year thereafter.
In accordance with the current practice, Council will be informed on an annual basis of al_l funds not
expended within 5 years.
This is the eighth of the annual determinations. Park improvement funds can only be expended for park
acquisition and development. Moreover, the funds must be expended within the areas in which they were
collected and for the benefit of the residents of that area. (Thus the establishment of the six park zones of
benefit). Fees are collected as neighborhoods are developed in the zones and projects are completed as
the funds accumulate over time.
Significant sums are typically required to acquire suitable sites and develop them in accordance with city
standards. If sufficient funds have not accumulated, the already-collected funds need not be expended
within five years, provided that the Council determines that they can eventually be expended to benefit
zone residents. By making this determination, the city will be able to continue accumulating funds in each
zone until there are amounts that are sufficient to establish and improve park and recreation facilities that
July 15, 2003, 11:16AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
provide long-range benefits to residents. The determination shall be to identify the purpose for which the
fees are proposed to be expended. In the event that no need could be demonstrated, then the funds
would have to be refunded to the current property owner. Staff has identified needed projects to utilize
existing and projected funding in each zone. Staff continues to plan for future park development and
improvements. Existing balances in some zones are not sufficient to fund additional projects; however, it
is projected that the necessary additional monies will be collected, as there is further development in these
zones.
This Administrative Report requests Council to make findings and commit all unexpended funds collected
for both acquisition and development, which the City will have held for five (5) or more years in
accordance to the attached. Schedule A summarizes unexpended revenue on hand after five years.
Schedule B is staff's recommendation, which summarizes proposed expenditures for these funds in future,
and/or existing parks.
On May 28, 2003, the Council approved the City Manager's Report 3-03, which included a
recommendation to reduce the number of park zones from six to three effective July 1, 2003. This
administrative report provides information prior to July 1, 2003. Staff will report on the unexpended funds
for the new zones for ending FY 03/04 after July 1, 2004.

Resolution adding territory, Area 4-27 (Fairfax, Royal Coach) to the Consolidated
Maintenance District and confirming the assessments, approving the Public Works
Director's Report and authorizing collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax
Collector. 0Nard 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption ofthe Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On July 9, 2003 the Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1305 to add territory,
Area 4-27 (Fairfax, Royal Coach), to 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 park and street landscaping for Lot 30 of Tract No. 4621. Area 4-27 is generally
bounded by Royal Coach Circle on the north, east and south, and Fairfax Road on the west. This area
will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and wilt be assigned the appropriate tier levels
when a park and street landscaping have been installed.
The addition of this territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.
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 developer to be recorded with the development of
the property. A copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The three easements were granted to the City by Mr. John G. Giumarra, Jr., in 1994
during the processing of Phase 1 of Tentative Tract No. 5738. The easements were for a temporary
sump, storm drain alignments and temporary access purposes. The Tentative Tract expired August 17,
2002, and the easements have never been used for their intended purpose. Mr. Giumarra is requesting
vacation of the unused easements because he is not contemplating any similar subdivision of this
property.
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. Public
Works notes no public drainage facilities are located in the vacating area.
All property owners within a radius of 300 feet of the vacating area have been notified and none have
indicated any objections as of the date of this report.
Public Works recommends that the vacating action be by summary process pursuant to Streets and
Highways Code Section 8333(a) whereby Public Service Easements may be summarily vacated if not
used for the purpose for which dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years immediately preceding the
proposed vacation.
The City Planning Commission at its meeting of June 19, 2003, heard the proposal and found the
proposed vacation to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.

Mohawk Street Underpass Grade Separation Project:
APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HEAD
CITY ATTORNEY
1. Resolution authorizing Public Works Director to execute agreement on behalf of the City
of Bakersfield.
2. Agreement with State of California, Department of Transportation to provide
reimbursement funding, not to exceed $5,000,000, for Project.
3. Joint Agencies Agreement with the Greater Bakersfield Separation of Grade District
($160,000) for preliminary design and right of way engineering.
4. Appropriate $160,000 Transportation Development Fund balance to the Capital
Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution and Agreements.
BACKGROUND: The Separation of District recently applied, on behalf of the City and County, for Section
190 Program funding for the Separation of Grade project where Mohawk Street crosses the Burlington
Northern and Santa Fe Railroad. The District was successful with this application, and now the City needs
to pursue right of way acquisition, design, and construction of the project.
Although the project area for the Mohawk Separation of Grade is not currently within the corporate limits of
the City, this project is part of the Westside Parkway for which the City of Bakersfield is the lead agency.
And at the February 26, 2003 City Council meeting, the Council approved a joint agencies agreement
between the City, the County, and the Separation of Grade District that identified the City's responsibilities
for the Mohawk Separation of Grade project. City staff has had preliminary discussions with County staff
regarding annexations in the area, and City staff plan to pursue annexations that include the project site.
The first agreement is between Caltrans and the City and provides for Caltrans to reimburse the City, up to
a maximum of $5,000,000 (the maximum allowed under the Section 190 Program), for work performed on
the project. This money can only be used for construction, and will be budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2004-
2005 Capital Improvement Program. Caltrans is also requiring a resolution regarding execution of this
agreement. Staff is suggesting that the Public Works Director be authorized to execute the agreement on
behalf of the City of Bakersfield.
The second agreement is between the Separation of Grade District and the City, and is for District to
provide preliminary design and right of way engineering for the project. The City has traditionally
contracted with the District to provide these services. Once this work is completed, the City will then begin
pursuing acquisition of right of way needed for the project, as well as use the preliminary engineering work
completed to begin preparation of construction plans and specifications for the project. The appropriation
will provide the necessary funding for the Joint Agencies Agreement.

Memorandum of Understanding for $404,400 between Kern County Superintendent of
Schools and the City of Bakersfield regarding Crossing Guard Services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Police Department administers funding for 36 local school crossing guards with a budget
for FY2003/04 of $414,400. Due to budget constraints, the current allocation for crossing guards was
reduced by ten percent form $460,000 for FY 2002/03 to its existing amount. The contact for City funded
crossing guard services ended June 30, 2003; however, a one month agreement not to exceed $10,000
was established between the City and the current contractor for crossing guard services for the month of
July 2003. This leaves a balance of $404,400 for the remainder of the fiscal year.
It is anticipated that the present service provider will require at least a ten percent increase in its fees for
FY 2003/04, making the projected cost for locally funded crossing guards $506,000. This leaves, at
minimum, a $92,000 deficit.
Staff has met with all Iocai school districts, who have City funded crossing guards, and notified them of the
anticipated deficit. All agree that crossing guards are necessary and all affected districts agreed they must
share the burden of the shortfall.
In order to have a central control point for the distribution of City crossing guard funds, staff met with the
Kern County Superintendent of Schools who agreed to distribute the City's crossing guard funds to the
individual districts. The Kern County Superintendent of Schools will merely distribute the funds and will
not add to nor subtract from them. This removes the Potice Department from this task and makes the
individual school districts responsible for their own crossing guard contracts.
The City of Bakersfield and the Kern County Superintendent of Schools desire to enter into a one year
Memorandum of Understanding wherein the City will contribute $33,700 per month to the Kern County
Superintendent of Schools for a total annual contribution of $404,400. The Kern County Superintendent of
Schools will work with the various districts to establish an equitable method of distribution for the City's
crossing guard funds.

Se~ices, Inc. ($230,172) for State Route 99 at White Lane Over-crossing Widening and

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Due to the complexity and duration of White Lane at State Route 99 overcrossing

according to their qualifications, interview presentations, and technical proposals. The Selection
Committee, consisting of three Public Works staff, recommends award to Parsons Brinkerhoff based on
their combination of qualifications and fee proposal being the most favorable to the City. Funding for this

Relocation of the Friant-Kern Canal at the intersection of Olive Drive and Calloway Drive
(Ward 4):
Contract Change Order No. 4 to Agreement No. 02-334 with Vadnais Corporation
for $114,085.62 (for a total contract amount of $3,571,392.41 ).
Appropriate $120,000 fund balance to the Capital Improvement Budget within the
Transportation Development fund for this project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: In order to construct the Box Culvert portion of this project, the Kern-Friant canal had to
be shut-down. The timing of this shut-down was dictated to the City by the Friant Water Users Authority.
After the shut-down occurred, the Friant Water Users Authority indicated that water would be turned back
into the canal four days earlier than originally stated. This caused Vadnais to accelerate operations
thereby causing additional expense in order to meet this new schedule. The contractor has agreed to
accept $13,354.33 as full compensation for this work acceleration.
After the project bid, a method of concrete placement for the canal liner known as "shotcrete" was rejected
by the Friant Water Users Authority and the Bureau of Land Management. These agencies dictated that
the liner be placed in separate panels. This alternative method of concrete placement for the canal liner is
labor intensive thereby increasing the cost to the contractor for this work. The contractor has agreed to
accept a lump sum of $100,731.29 for this change.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 02-341 with Kern Economic Development Corporation
for $54,000 for economic development in Kern County. (Wards All)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The agreement with Kern Economic Development Corporation expired June 30, 2003. This amendment
would extend that agreement to June 30, 2004, as well as make it retroactive to July 1, 2003.
Payment to Kern EDC has been two-phased: First, there is an annual contribution which was $20,000
during the past fiscal year. Second, there is an incentive contribution which Kern EDC can earn should it
be directly responsible for creating new jobs within the City of Bakersfield. During the past fiscal year, the
potential incentive amount was $50,000. No incentive payments were earned by Kern EDC during the
past fiscal year.
Due to the State of California's budgetary uncertainty, Kern EDC, like other outside organizations that
receive City funding, have been asked to take a reduction in contributions. This amendment retains the
$20,000 annual payment but reduces the potential incentive amount from $50,000 to $34,000.
The amendment also changes how the annual payment is made. Rather than making the annual payment
in one lump sum, the amendment would change the payment to periodic payments. The first payment
would be $2,000 payable by September 1. Beginning October 1, monthly payments of $2,000 would be
made. Should the State's budget situation worsen, this system of periodic payments would allow the
agreement to be terminated and any commitment for future payment to be negated.

Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 01-204 with Kleinfelder, Inc. ($60,000 for a total not-
to-exceed compensation clause of $640,000) for Material Testing Services for Various
Construction Projects.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends s, pproval of Amendment.
BACKGROUND: Agreement No. 01-204 with Kleinfelder, Inc. was approved by the City Council on
September 5, 2001 with a not to exceed compensation clause of $296,035. On November 20, 2002,
Council approved Amendment No. 1 increasing the compensation amount of this agreement to $580,000.
On July 9, 2003, City Council approved agreement 03-182 with Krazan & Associates for the matedal
testing services for the next two fiscal years; however, Kleinfelder is the testing firm of-record on both the
Ice Center and Fire Station 15/Police Substation projects. It is advantageous from a liability standpoint to
maintain the same matedal testing firm of-re;:ord throughout a project.
This amendment extends the period of con~-ract 01-204 with Kleinfelder until December 31, 2003 and
adjusts the total compensation to $640,000.
Funding for this amendment will be from the budgeted Ice Center and Fire Station 15/Police Substation
Projects.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 97-179 with the State of California, Department of
Transportation Increasing Allocation of Funds for the Q Street Grade Seperation Project by
$274,315.72 (for a revised total contract amount of $5,138,315.72 - Ward 2).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment.
BACKGROUND: An Agreement between the City and the State of California, Department of
Transportation was approved by Council on June 25, 1997 which provided for the allocation of $4,864,000
toward the Q Street Underpass Project. Total project costs came in higher than originally anticipated.
Staff has successfully pursued a supplemental allocation for this project because of the increased costs.
As indicated in the agreement, the State will allow for a $274,315.72 supplemental allocation.
This amendment increases the State allocation for the Q Street Overpass Project from $4,864,000 to a
total of $5,138,315.72.

Amendment No. 7to Service Agreement No. 97-140 with Tiburon, lnc.,notto exceed
$81,860.00, forPoliceDepartmentComputerSystems.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
In 1997, the City pumhased police CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) and records management
(RMS) software from Tiburon, Inc. The City subsequently entered into Agreement No. 97-140 for annual
service for the software. Annually, the City renews the service agreement. This amendment no. 7 will
continue the service agreement until June 30, 2004. The annual cost of the service agreement is
$81,860.00. The Police Department has purchased new CAD & RMS software through Versaterm.
However, the existing Tiburon System and the data contained therein is necessary for the Police
Department to function properly. Over time, the Police Department will cease using the Tiburon system, so
annual maintenance cost will then cease. This agreement may be cancelled at any time with thirty days
written notice.

Bridge on Allen Road over the Kern River (Ward 4)
1. Award Consultant Agreement RBF Consulting to ($208,753.00) for Environmental
Study on the Proposed Bridge on Allen Road over the Kern River
2. Appropriate $35,000 additional Traffic Impact Fee Revenue to the Capital
Improvement Budget within the Transportation Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends award of the agreement and appropriation of funds.
BACKGROUND: As development continues in the west and southwest portions of the metropolitan area,
additional road crossings of the Kern River become necessary to provide the necessary road circulation
system. The City is responsible for the construction of bridges crossing the Kern River since the City has
control of the land within the river flood plain. The Fiscal Year 2003-04 Capital Improvement Program
includes a project to conduct the environmental studies that are necessary for this major infrastructure
improvement.
Staff issued a request for proposals to firms that would be interested in conducting those studies for the
City. Staff then reviewed the documents that were submitted by the two firms that chose to respond to our
request. Upon reviewing those documents, staff recommends awarding the agreement to the firm of RBF
Consulting based on their combination of qualifications and fee proposal being the most favorable to the
City.
Additional funds need to be appropriated for this agreement as the adopted budget only included
$175,000 for this study.

Accept bid to award contract to Bowman Asphalt, Inc. ($1,081,778.11) for Kern River Bike
Path and Riparian Restoration from Stockdale Hi~]hway to Manor Street. 0Nards 2, 3, & 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of Iow bid and award of contract.
BACKGROUND: The City's bike path along the Kern River stretches from Enos Lane to Gordons Ferry.
A 7-mile section of the bike path from Cai State University Bakersfield to Manor Street does not meet our
current standard width of 12 feet and is in poor condition. This project consists of resurfacing this section
of the bike path and widening to current standards. The project also involves minor changes to the bike
path alignment to soften sharp curves at several locations, provide a landscape barrier between the bike
path and Truxtun Avenue near Coffee Road, construct a pedestrian bridge over the Arvin-Edison Canal
near Coffee Road, construct slope paving under State Route 99 to prevent erosion, expand the parking lot
at Manor Street, and construct a landscaped rest area with water fountains near Manor Street underpass.
This project also includes riparian restoration (native plants and wildlife habitats) along the Kern River
Parkway from Stockdale Highway to Calloway Drive. Over 650 new trees will be planted on both side of
the bike path from Stockdale Highway to Calloway Drive. In addition the bike path will be extended over
the Bellevue Weir to the north side of the Kern River and around the reservoir adjacent to the future
soccer park which also includes planting trees on both sides of the path.
This project is 100% funded with State's Prop 12 and Prop 13 money which is currently available within
the Water Resources Department Capital Improvement Budget. On July 9, four acceptable bids were

Reject all bids for Chester Avenue Streetscape Project from 34t" Street to West Columbus
Street. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends rejection of all bids.
BACKGROUND: Bids on this project were received on June 6, 2003 from three local firms. All bids were
significantly in excess of the Engineer's Estimate ($339,300) and funds available from Community and
Economic Development ($334,000). After reviewing the bids, staff is proposing to modify the scope of
work under this project as follows:
1. Delete the median street lights from the project. Future street lights could be installed in
parkways when funds are available.
2. Remove the Traffic Signal Modification at West Columbus Street and Chester Avenue from the
contract and have city crews complete this portion of work.
3. Remove the landscaping from the contract and have city crews pedorm the landscape work
after the contractor has completed the balance of the project.
This approach will allow the construction of the median islands complete with hardscape and irrigation
system. The City will absorb the cost of design and construction engineering, cost of traffic signal
modification and landscaping labor.
Staff recommends re-advertising this project after city crews have completed the traffic signal modification.

Emergency Authorization to appropriate $382,000 in additional building fee revenues to the
Building Division operating budget for four additional Building Inspector 1/11 and transfer
$75,200 to the Equipment Fund for vehicles. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve four additional Building Inspector positions and the purchase of vehicles and equipment.
BACKGROUND:
The Building Division has been overwhelmed by an exceptionally prolonged high level of building
activity. All indications are that it will continue well into the future. The issuance of building permits
is ministerial (the Building Director may not refuse to accept a legitimate application). But, the
applicants are required to pay all costs associated with plan checking, inspection and
administration of the building inspection program through payment of building permit fees. These
fees are collected with the issuance of permits and by law may not be used for any other purpose.
As a result of this surge in activity, the Building Division has fallen behind in staffing to respond to
the need for increased inspections and our commitment to conduct them. At least four additional
inspectors are required to satisfy the obligation to protect the public safety of our general populous
and certification that builders have complied with the building codes in constructing their buildings.
The estimated cost to fund the four positions is $306,800 plus a one time cost of $75,200 for
equipment and vehicles for a total appropriation of $382,000. The estimated on-going annual cost
s $76,700 for each position.

Accept bid to award contract to S.C. Anderson, Inc. ($5,853,800.00) for construction
of the McMurtrey Aquatic Center.
Appropriate and Transfer $101,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund balance to the Capital
Improvement Budget for project.
3. Transfer $103,000 between CDBG Capital Improvement projects therefor.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of Iow bid, award of contract, and appropriations.
BACKGROUND: In June 2002, staff began preparing the design and construction documents for
Bakersfield's 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 January 2003, the City received bids for the ice center project and awarded a construction contract to
S.C. Anderson.
In February 2003, staff began the process of pre-approving contractors to be on the Final Bidders List for
the aquatic center. That process resulted in the following two local firms being approved to submit bids on
this project: S.C. Anderson, Inc. and Colombo Construction Company, Inc.
Construction funds for the project are budgeted in the FY 2003-04 Capital Improvement Program.

After the bid opening, staff met with the apparent Iow bidder, S.C. Anderson, Inc., to develop alternate
designs on various elements of the project with the goal of reducing the costs to construct the project.
Those discussions resulted in agreement to the following revisions:
Project Element
1. Revised design of the perimeter fence
2. Revised design of the trellis
3. Deleted construction of perimeter pavement, sidewalk and curb / gutter
4. Reduced amount on decorative tile on project monument signs
5. Reduced height of tile on selected walls in the locker rooms

With agreement to the above the contract changes, the awarded contract amount is reduced from
S.C. Anderson's bid to the amount of $5,853,800.00.
The perimeter pavement, sidewalk and curb / gutter will be constructed by City staff and the City's annual
contractors.
None of the above revisions adversely affect the quality of the project, nor the public's experience in using
the facility.
The $103,000 CDBG funds are from the project for improving the streetscape at the intersection of
19tn Street and Eye Street. We plan to replace these monies in the next (2004-2005) CDBG budget cycle.

Public hearing to determine whether the public interest and necessity require acquisition by
eminent domain of an interest in property located at the southeast comer of Coffee Road
and Downing Avenue, Bakersfield, California, for widening of Coffee Road and Downing
Avenue (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230, et seq.) (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a Resolution of Necessity declaring the public interest and necessity for the
taking of an interest in property located at the southeast corner of Coffee Road and Downing Avenue,
Bakersfield, California, for widening of Coffee Road and Downing Avenue, enabling the City to condemn
the subject property interest.
BACKGROUND:
Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230 requires that the City Council adopt a "Resolution of Necessi~'
authorizing the initiation of an eminent domain action. Section 1245.230 also requires that certain "pre-
condemnation" requirements be met.
Each of these requirements has been met and is set forth in the Resolution of Necessity attached hereto
and made a part hereof by this reference.
Prior to adopting the Resolution of Necessity, Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235 requires that the
City give each person whose property or interest therein is to be acquired by eminent domain a
reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard on the following:
1. Whether the public interest and necessity require the project;
Whether the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with
the greatest public good and the least private injury;
3. Whether the property interest sought to be acquired is necessary for the project; and

Concurrent General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe No. 03-0362 (Ward 1)
Robert Dean with D&D Development Enterprises has proposed a general plan amendment and
zone change to develop single family residences on 81.7 acres, multi-family residences on 4.5
acres, and commercial on 12 acres located adjacent on the west side of Cottonwood Road,
between East Pacheco Road and East Fairview Road. The project site is 98.2 acres in size and is
currently being processed for annexation to the City of Bakersfield.
1)
Resolution approving the Negative Declaration and adopting the General Plan Amendment
to change land use designation from R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low
Density Residential) on 81.7 acres, R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to HMR (High
Medium Density Residential) on 4.5 acres, and R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to GC
(General Commercial) on 12 acres.
2)
An Ordinance adopting the Negative Declaration and amending Title 17 of the Municipal
Code and Zoning Map No. 123-19 from A (Agriculture) to R-1 (One Family Dwelling) on
81.7 acres, A (Agriculture) to R-2 (Limited Multiple-Family) on 4.5 acres, and A (Agriculture)
to C-2 (Regional Commercial) on 12 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and first reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the proposal is to prepare the 98.2 acre project site for future single family
residential development on 81.7 acres, multi-family residential development on 4.5 acres, and
regional commercial development on 12 acres located adjacent on the west side of Cottonwood
Road, between East Pacheco Road and East Fairview Road. The 12 acre commercial designation
is proposed at the southwest corner of East Pacheco Road and Cottonwood Road. The 4.5 acre
multi-family residential designation (HMR) is proposed along the south side of East Pacheco Road
and along the west side of the proposed commercial designation. The HMR land use designation
will allow the density that is permitted under the proposed R-2 zone. The remaining portion of the
project site (81.7 acres) is proposed for single family residential development. The project site is

currently designated and zoned for agricultural land use. The property is currently being utilized for
agricultural production. The Circulation Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan
designates Cottonwood Road as an arterial; East Pacheco Road and East Fairview Road are
designated as collectors.

SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanae 03-0394 (All Wards)
City of Bakersfield has proposed a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to acknowledge
existing uses on 21 separate sites which are known to be incorrectly designated zones.
Resolution approving Notice of Exemption and adopting the General Plan Amendment
on the 21 different sites.
Ordinance adopting the Notice of Exemption and amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code
and Zoning Maps 103-31,123-11,103-24 and 123-24 (on five separate sites).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution adopting the Notice of Exemption, approving the
General Plan Amendment and first reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield Planning Department initiated this project to acknowledge the actual use of
the land on 21 separate sites. The purpose of this proposal is to more accurately depict the actual
use of the property for both land use inventory reasons and to help locate public facilities such as
schools and parks when using computer generated display maps at City Council meetings.
The actual changes involve the following:
Five cases where apartments have been approved by Conditional Use Permit within
commercial zones. Only these five cases involve zone changes to either R-2 or R-3 (as
appropriate) depending on the density of the apartment complex.
Eleven cases involving public schools. Public schools are a separate political entity from
the City and require no entitlements to be established. For this reason, as time goes by
schools are increasingly not depicted on the land use element map.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
Three parks within the North of the River Recreation and Park District need to be depicted
on the land use map to accurately reflect new available recreational facilities.
· Two recently annexed areas, both developed, were incorrectly designated and the land use
designations proposed accurately reflect the existing residential density.

SUBJECT:
Urban Development Committee Report No. 1-03 on the Regional Transportation Impact
Fee Phase III program
RECOMMENDATION:
The Urban Development Committee recommends acceptance of the report, establishment of
Alternative "A" as the proposed fee, and setting the public hearing for the meeting of August 27, 2003.
BACKGROUND:
The Transportation Impact Fee program is a development fee designed to collect money from new
development to pay for the regional traffic impacts of that new development. The impact fees collected
cannot by State law be used to correct existing problems that were not caused by new development.
The Transportation Impact fee has been in effect since 1992, and the funds collected have been used
to install numerous traffic signals, construct expanded intersections, add lanes to existing arterials, and
to construct railroad grade separations.
At the Urban Development Committee meeting of July 23, 2003, staff presented information on an
update to the Regional Transportation Impact Fee. This update, referred to as the "Phase II1" program,
is to provide for transportation improvements for the Metropolitan Bakersfield area and must be
adopted jointly by the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors. The Committee requested
that staff present to the Council a full overview of the impact fee program and proposed fee alternatives
for their consideration. Attached is a memo outlining the program background and information
regarding the fee.
The Urban Development has recommended that the Alternative "A" fee schedule be sent to the full
Council and the County Board of Supervisors for consideration. The committee encouraged staff to
move this item forward in a timely manner so the required public hearings can be conducted, and the
proposed fee may be considered by both City and County at the joint meeting on September 15, 2003.
The date that this fee would become effective will be 60 days affer its adoption by both jurisdictions.
The adoption of this fee will not affect any project, building or vested subdivision map currently being
reviewed by the City. The new Phase Ill fee will only affect those projects, buildings and subdivisions
that are started after the effective date of the fee.

SUBJECT: Continued consideration of ambulance rate review and possible adoption of ambulance rate
modifications.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council determination.
BACKGROUND: At the July 9th City Council meeting, the consulting firm of Health Analytics
presented the rate modification study to analyze the rate increase requested by Hall Ambulance Co.
Included in the study was ambulance rate survey information, a financial review of Hall Ambulance and
related companies, Medicare reimbursement impacts, ambulance service cost analysis, and an
assessment of the value of ambulance service provided by Hall Ambulance related to response times
and other service information.
As the Consultant's report was quite lengthy and complex, the Council deferred further consideration of
the recommendations to the July 30~h meeting. The Consultant is recommending a general ambulance
rate increase of 31.3%, which would allow Hall Ambulance a 12.5% profit margin (based on their
current cost and expected collection rates under the new ambulance charges). The Consultant states
that the recommendation is on aggregate, 4.6% less than what was requested by Hall Ambulance. The
Consultant indicates in the report that it is important to understand that a 31.3% rate increase will only
yield a 12% increase in net dollars collected (roughly $42.06 per transport). Although the Consultant is
recommending rates based on a 12.5% profit margin, they have also included rates which the Council
could consider for a range of profit margins of 10% or 15%. Additional recommendations are made in
the report for changing the rate request process and against the use of a CPI for determining future rate
increases.
The report includes an ambulance rate survey which was conducted by the Consultant that includes
cities with higher and lower populations than Bakersfield. The results showed that Hall's current rates
are at the lower end of the range for the cities studied. The rates requested by Hall would push them
toward the higher end of that spectrum. However, many of the participants stated they will also be
increasing rates in the very near future due to the impact of the new Medicare fee schedule. This report
also provides a great deal of discussion about the limited usefulness of any such rate comparison
surveys due to differences in EMS system design and the effect that system design has on a given
provider's cost of delivering its services.
