CONSENTCALENDAR
Aqreements:
Item 4i. Aqreement with Janes Family Trust to Purchase Real Property Located in an Unincorporated Area,
South of Rosedale Hiqhwa¥ on Mohawk Street for $12,486 (ISTEA Funds) to be Used as Riqht-of-Way for
the Mohawk Extension Phase of the Westside Parkway. This is a 2,694.2 square foot rectangular property.
The Bakersfield Planning Commission found the acquisition consistent with the 2010 General Plan.
Item 4i. Aqreement with Arrache, Clark & Potter to Provide Leqal Services in the Acquisition of Offsite Real
Property Interest for Vestinq Tentative Tract Map. No. 6160 Located on the East Side of Miramonte Drive
near Casa Club Drive. The developer, Rio Grande Development, LLC, approached the City to use its
eminent domain power to help in securing an easement for construction and maintenance of draining
improvements. The developer will pay all costs associated with this condemnation, including all legal fees.
Item 41. Contract Chanae Order No. 3 to Aqreement No. 03-208 with Granite Construction Company1 Inc.
for the White Lane at SR 99 Overcrossinq Wideninq and Interchanqe Improvements in the amount of
$21,600. (Revised Contract Amount $5,657,815.35). The construction plans for the northbound on-ramp
auxiliary lane on SR 99 requires the contractor to match the existing structural section. The method of
constructing this structural section was shown on the construction drawings CalTrans reviewed and
approved for this project. CalTrans now indicates they overlooked this detail and that this method of
construction is no longer approved by their Standards. A change order for a net increase of $21,600 is
required to modify the structural section to meet current CaITrans Standards. Budgeted funds are available
to fund this change order request.
Bids:
Item 5m. Street Improvements - Brimhall Road between Jewetta Avenue and Calloway Drive. This project
consists of widening the north side of Brimhall Road to accommodate two lanes in each direction with a two-
way left turn lane from Jewetta Avenue to Calloway Drive; completion of curbed medians west of Jewetta
Avenue; and construction of Brimhall Road to its ultimate width at the intersection of Calloway Drive to
approximately 450 feet west. In addition, this project will construct a drainage basin which is part of the
Planned Drainage Area (PDA). Sufficient PDA fees have not yet been collected since the area is
undeveloped at this time. Staff proposes to initially fund this drainage basin with Sewer Enterprise Funds,
with the intent of reimbursing the Sewer Fund from PDA fees collected within the applicable benefit zone as
development occurs. Four acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends award to Bowman Asphalt,
Inc.
Miscellaneous:
Item 4n. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Action Plan Amendment No. 12 (FY 02/03). The
proposed amendment will reallocate $33,000 program savings from the Lowell Park Community Center
Improvement Program to the Summer Recreation and Transportation Program at Lowell and Wayside

Item 4o. City of Bakersfield Consolidated Plan 2005 - Amendment No. 1 to Make Three Narrative Chanqes
that Affect Two Priorities includinq the use of a New HUD Fundinq Proqram, and FY 2004/05 Action Plan.
The purpose of the Plan is to assist communities in developing a collaborative process whereby cities
establish a unified vision for community development activities. In order to comply with HUD regulations,
any significant change or addition to the approved Plan must undergo an amendment process, which
includes obtaining citizen views and comments on the proposed change. Amendment #1 has 3 proposed
narrative changes that affect 2 priorities (Public Facilities and Services) and include the use of a new HUD
funding program. The proposed changes are to provide technical support/assistance to non-profit
organizations that need to build capacity to serve their Iow income constituents. There is also an allowance
for CDBG funds to be spent for fire prevention services in Fire Station #5 which serves a Iow income area,
and for Police services in Iow income areas. The public safety enhancements were devised by the Budget
and Finance Committee.
Total funds available for FY 2004/05 are $6,331,694, which represent $3,983,000 of CDBG funds,
$2,202,267 of HOME funds, and $146,427 of ESG funds. On March 22, 2004, a public notice was
published concerning the availability of the draft annual action plan. Since the notice was published, HUD
has made a slight increase in funding for the HOME and ESG Programs. HOME has been increased by
$5,050, which will be added to New Construction Assistance and ESG has been increased by $427, which
will be added to Alliance Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault. At the February 12, 2004 Budget
and Finance Committee meeting, the proposed annual action plan was received and authorized for final
City Council action.
Item 4p. Appropriate $7,500 Transportation Development Fund Balance to the Capital Improvement Budqet
for Riqht-of-Way Acquisition for the Intersection Expansion Project on Minq Avenue from Ashe Road to New
Stine Road. This project consists of expanding the intersections of Ming Avenue at Ashe Road, and Ming
Avenue at New Stine Road. The intersection expansions will include dual left turn lanes for both east and
westbound traffic, and dual left turn lanes for both north and southbound traffic on New Stine Road. This
appropriation is needed to cover acquiring additional right-of-way, which must be purchased to relocate
traffic signal equipment at the intersection of Ming Avenue and New Stine Road. Additional appropriations
will be required at time the contract is awarded for construction.
Item 4q. Appropriate $20,000 Proposition 40 Grant Funds within the Recreation and Parks Department
Capital Improvement Budqet for Jefferson Pool Repairs. In order to operate Jefferson Pool for the 2004
summer season, repairs are needed. Proposition 40 funds are proposed to fund the project.
Item 4r. Appropriate $80,000 Special Swimminq Pool Contributions to the Recreation and Parks General
Fund Operatinq Budqet to Staff, Maintain, Repair and Operate Beale Park Pool for the 2004 Summer Swim
Season, and Subsidize Swimminq Vouchers for Kids. In response to an ad placed by the Bakersfield
Californian, $76,874 has been received to date through miscellaneous donations to staff, maintain, repair
and operate the Beale Park Pool during the summer 2004 swim season. It was estimated that $70,000
would be needed for these purposes. The balance of the donations will be used to subsidize swimming
vouchers for children. The funds were collected through the Bakersfield Foundation, a non-profit
organization. The appropriation amount has been rounded up to allow for any additional contributions that
might be received after the date the administrative report was finalized.
CONSENT CALENDAR HEARINGS
Item 5a. Public Hearinq to consider Resolution Establishinq Sewer Service User Charqes and Fees for FY
2004/05. Staff is recommending a 2.6% increase in all sewer user charges for FY 2004/05. If approved,
the rate for a single family dwelling will increase from $117 to $120 per year. Fees for wastewater services
and other agencies will be determined in accordance with agreements entered into between the City and
the other agencies. Sewer user fees are collected with property taxes.

Item 5c. Hearinq to Consider Resolution Adoptinq Fees Pursuant to the Cost Recovery Proqram
(Development and Recreation and Parks/. Staff recently performed a review of development related fees
and determined that fee increases are needed to fund additional positions in the Public Works
Department to meet workload demands in order to provide reasonable response times and an acceptable
level of service to the development industry. Recreation and Parks is also recommending a revised fee
schedule for the McMurtrey Aquatics Center to reflect updated program information.
At the April 14, 2004 meeting, Council approved two additional engineering technician positions and two
construction inspector positions to address increased development activity and service demands. The
costs for these four positions are to be funded through developer fees. ALthough increased volume will
offset a portion of the costs associated with these four additional positions, fee increases are needed for full
cost recovery.
Since the McMurtrey Aquatic Center fees were adopted at the July 9, 2003 meeting, more extensive
programming has been developed, thus, staff is proposing new fees for McMurtrey only. Detailed fee
information is included in the administrative report.
Item 5c. Protest Hearinq for Proposed Assessment District No. 03-3 (Seven Oaks West III / Briqhton Place
II / Fairway Oaks South). On March 10, 2004, Council approved the Preliminary Engineer's Report and
scheduled the hearing for this Council meeting. Following the close of the hearing, adoption of this
resolution will approve the Final Engineer's Report, levy the assessments and order the public
improvements. The next step will be the Resolution Approving the Form and Substance of Preliminary
Official Statement and Bond Purchase Contract at the May 26, 2004 Council meeting.

An Ordinance Amending Chapter 13.04 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to the
notice and hearing requirements for Maintenance Districts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This O,rdinance received first reading at the City Council meeting on April 14, 2004.
The vast majority of the Maintenance District Ordinance was passed a number of years ago, prior
to the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996. Many of the notice requirements contained in the ordinance
are now outdated (such as requiring mailed notices of assessments even when there are no increases)
because of the implementation of Proposition 218 and revisions to state law found in the Government
Code.
A number of years ago, the Park and Landscape Maintenance Districts were controversial. Under
City Council guidance, the City merged 30+ districts into a consolidated one, which stabilized the rates.
We also implemented an equity component, so that all pads of the City received the same General Fund
contribution. With those reforms, and with 8 years of not increasing the rates, public acceptance is nearly
universal. Last year we mailed 31,837 notices and received 16 protests. That calculates to about $849
per protest letter. It costs approximately $13,586 for staff time, mailing, and postage to send notices of no
increases in rates.
This ordinance eliminates the outdated notice and hearing requirements and also eliminates other
sections that are not in compliance with Proposition 218. Should there be a need to increase rates in the
future, the ordinance amendments follow state law (Proposition 218) which requires notice and a ballot
procedure.

The Council will need to confirm the approval of the Assistant to 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.

at State Route 99 overcmssing widening and interchange improvements (Ward 7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This project consists of widening the White Lane overcrossing at State Route 99 to

ramp. In addition, the project will modify all north bound on/off ramps to State Route 99 and construct a
soundwall adjacent to the northbound off-ramp.
The construction plans for the northbound on-ramp auxiliary lane on State Route 99 requires the
contractor to match the existing structural section of State Route 99. The method of constructing this
structural section was shown on the construction drawings Caltrans reviewed and approved for this
project. Caltrans now indicates they overlooked this detail and that this method of construction is no
longer approved by their Standards. A change order for a net increase of $21,600 is required to modify
the structural section of the northbound on-ramp auxiliary lane to meet current Caltrans Standards.
Budgeted funds are available to fund this change order request.

City of Bakersfield Consolidated Plan 2005 - HUD Mandated - Amendment No. I for three
narrative changes affecting two Consolidated Plan priorities including the use of a new HUD
funding program and Fiscal Year 2004-05 Action Plan (CDBG, HOME, and ESG). (ALL
WARDS)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the HUD program and narrative changes to the 2005 Consolidated Plan
(ConPlan), adoption of the proposed 04/05 Annual Action Plan and authorization for the City Manager to
execute all necessary HUD documents.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield is required to submit a Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) before it can apply for and
receive entitlement funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The
purpose of the Consolidated Plan 2005 (ConPlan) is to assist communities in developing a collaborative
process whereby cities establish a unified vision for community development activities over a five year
period. Any significant change or addition to the approved Five Year Consolidated Plan must undergo an
amendment process which includes obtaining citizen views and comments on the proposed changes. The
amendment has three proposed administrative changes. These changes include the narrative description
changes of two ConPtan priorities and includes the description and planned use of a new HUD funded
program for downpayment assistance.
An Annual Action Plan must also be submitted each year that outlines the programs and projects that will
be undertaken as described in the Consolidated Plan. In addition to the proposed amendments to the
Consolidated Plan, the spending plan for the 2004-05 Action Plan is outlined below for consideration.
Below is a description of the proposed technical changes to the Consolidated Plan and highlights of the
proposed 2004-05 Annual Action Plan:
1. CONSOLIDATED PLAN AMENDMENT #1
· General Priority - Community Development; Priority Need Category: Public Facilities and Services;
Specific Objective - Neighborhood Facilities/Services: Proposed accomplishment is to support the
development of one neighborhood community center in south/southeast Bakersfield and provide technical
support/assistance and capacity building to at least one non-profit organization. This description has been
modified to more accurately reflect the duties performed by staff in providing technical assistance to
several non profits including; the SE In-fill Housing Builders, the Bakersfield Senior Center, the Housing
C:\Docurnents and Settings\dscanlan\Local Settings\TemptConPlan 2005 amend #1 & FY04-05 Act Pin,doc

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
Authority of Kern County, Restoration Communities Partnership, Inc and the Community Action
Partnership, all which have received previous CDBG and HOME funding to further affordable housing
objectives in the Southeast. The proposed narrative change allows CDBG funds to be spent to provide
staff technical assistance to these non-profit organizations to build their future capacity in these programs
to serve their Iow income constituents.
· General Priority - Community Development; Priority Need Category; Public Facilities and Services:
Specific Objective - Health and Safety Facilities/Services: Proposed accomplishment to a) provide health
and referral services for 2,500 individuals and families,' and b) expand fire prevention services to benefit
approximately 18,000 Iow income residents. The proposed change adds a new public safety detailed
category under the public service cap and allows CDBG funds to be spent for fire prevention services in
Fire Station #5 which serves a HUD qualified Iow income area.
· The ConPlan General Priority - Affordable Housing Strategy has been modified to include the new HUD
downpayment program; The American Dream Downpayment Initiative Assistance Program (ADDI) is a
new component under the HOME Program through which HUD will make grants to cities for the purpose
of making downpayment assistance to Iow income first time homebuyer families. The proposed change
would allow the City to receive and to expend these new HUD funds for this program.
A public notice was published March 22, 2004 to begin a 30-day public comment period for the proposed
changes to the adopted Consolidated Plan 2005. To date, no comments have been received.
2. FY 04-05 ACTION PLAN
On March 22, 2004, a public notice was published concerning the availability of the draft annual action
plan for a HUD required 30-day citizen review and comment period. As part of the 30-day citizen review
and comment process, two public meetings were scheduled, April 13, 2004 and April 15, 2004. No public
comments were received on the proposed use of the funds for FY 04/05. Since the notice was published
HUD has made a slight increase in funding for the HOME and ESG Programs which has been included in
the amounts above. HOME has been increased by $5,050 which will be added to New Construction
Assistance. ESG has been increased by $427 which will be added to Alliance Against Family Violence
and Sexual Assault.
Under HUD regulations, the Annual Action Plan outlines the activities to be undertaken by the City to
address community development and housing needs identified in the five-year Consolidated Plan adopted
by City Council in May 2000. The proposed 2004/2005 Annual Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan 2005
represents the activities for the upcoming Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME
Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). The total funds
available for FY 04/05 is $6,331,694 which represent $3,983,000 of CDBG funds, $2,202,267 of HOME
funds, and $146,427 of ESG funds.
C, ommunity Development Block Grant - CDB¢,

decrease over our current year entitlement. Staff is also proposing the appropriation of $50,000 in CDBG
Program Income. Of the total funds appropriated for CDBG eligible activities, $2,076,500 is budgeted for

Parks General Fund Operating Budget to staff, maintain, repair and operate Beale
Park Pool for the 2004 summer swim season and subsidize swimming vouchers for
kids.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
On Friday, March 12, 2004 the Bakersfield Californian ran a full page advertisement soliciting
donations from the general public to "staff, maintain, repair and operate the Beale Park Pool" during
the summer 2004 swim season. The Bakersfield Californian contributed $30,000 to jump start the
campaign and also ran several follow up articles and advertisements in their newspaper in the days
that followed. It was estimated that $70,000 would be needed to operate the pool from June 14,
2004 through August 8, 2004. According to the newspaper ad, funds collected in excess of
$70,000 were to be used to "subsidize swimming vouchers for kids".
As of April 15, 2004 over 360 contributions were received from the community totaling $76,874.
Funds were collected through the Bakersfield Foundation, a non profit corporation and will be
forwarded to the City General Fund to offset operating costs of the pool. The appropriation figure
has been "rounded up" to allow for any additional contributions that might be received after the date
of this administrative report.

Resolution Adopting Fees Pursuant to the Cost Recovery Program. (Development and
Recreation and Parks)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
State law requires new fees and charges, as well as increases in existing fees and charges, be adopted by
ordinance or resolution following a public hearing. The city's procedure is provided for in Chapter 3.70 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code.
Staff recently performed a review of development related fees and determined that fee increases are
needed to fund additional positions in the Public Works Department to meet workload demands in order to
provide reasonable response times and an acceptable level of service to the development industry.
Recreation and Parks is also recommending a revised fee schedule for the McMurtrey Aquatics Center to
reflect updated program information.
Public Works:
At the April 14, 2004 meeting, Council approved two additional engineering technician positions and two
construction inspector positions to address increased development act v ty and service demands. As noted
on the April 14~hadministrative report, the City has experience unprecedented building and construction
activity. The demand for development related services, including plan checking and inspections, exceeds the
capacity of ex[sting staffing levels. The costs for these four positions are to be funded through developer
fees.
Although increased volume wilt offset a portion of the costs associated with these four additional
positions, fee increases are needed for full cost recovery. Following is a summary of the proposed
increases for the cost centers:
A-6 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT INSPECTION
-PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT INSPECTION $180, plus 1.40% of project valuation
Inspection services are to ensure that all items shown on approved construction plans are constructed
in accordance with those approved plans. The current fee is $176, plus 1.04% of project valuation.
The fee is proposed to increase to $180, plus 1.40% of project valuation.

policies. The current fee is $220, plus .80% of project valuation. The fee is proposed to increase to $285,
plus .85% of project valuation.
-FINAL TRACT MAPS $600, plus $29 per lot
Ensure that the map for a division of land meeting tract map criteria is in accordance with the State
Subdivision Map Act and local ordinance requirements and Advisory Agency conditions of approval. The
current fee is $600, plus $28 per lot. The fee is proposed to increase to $600, plus $29 per lot.
-GRADING PLAN CHECK SERVICES $300, plus $16.10 per acre
are to ensure that a site development conforms to grading ordinances and policies and that it incorporates
recommendations and requirements of a soils engineer. For commercial projects and other multi-family
plans, parcel maps, and parcel map waivers less than 5 acres in size, the current fee is $274. The proposed
fee is $300. For commercial projects and other multi-family plans, parcel maps, and parcel map waivers in
excess of 5 acres in size AND for subdivision tracts, the current fee is $274, plus $15.20 per acre. The
proposed fee is $300, plus $16.10 per acre.
Staff met with representatives of the Building Industry Association (BIA) on April 12% The BIA indicated
that they were not opposed to the increases proposed since the additional staff would provide for an
improved turn around time for plan check services and construction inspection.
Recreation and Parks:
City staff also reviewed the McMurtrey Aquatic Center fees which were adopted at the July 9, 2003 meeting
in anticipation of the facility opening in 2004. Since that time, staff has developed more extensive
programming, thus, staff are proposing new fees for McMurtrey only. The McMurtrey Aquatic Center is
scheduled to open late May/early June. The public will be able to enroll in aquatics classes beginning May 1,
2004. The attached Master Fee Schedule "Exhibit A" lists the new services that staff is proposing to offer at
the McMurtrey Aquatic Center.
