Resolutions:
Item 5e. Resolution reqardinq Use of Bioxide for Sewer Odor Control and Reduction of Sulfide Gas
Levels in an amount not to exceed $325.000 AnnualIv. Some areas of southwest Bakersfield have been
experiencing continuous sewer odor problems from the Buena Vista Trunk Line. These odors are a
violation of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) Policies and can be
punishable by a fine. The City uses Bioxide as recommended by our consulting engineers to control the
odors. Bioxide is a proprietary product, patented by U.S. Filters, and is therefore a sole-source product.
Item 5f. Resolution Orderinq Chanqe of Proceedinqs to Reduce Assessments to $21895~000 for Parcels
Located in Assessment District 03-1 (Briohton Place/Silver Creek II). Subsequent to the adoption of the
resolution levying the assessments, the actual amount of bonds issued for the District was $185,000 less
than estimated. This resolution authorizes an amended assessment lien be recorded.
Item 5i. Sewer Connection Fee Assessments. During the past few months, more than 20 property
owners have connected their properties to the City sewer system. Each has claimed that to pay the
sewer connection fee in one payment would produce an economic hardship. To assist them, the City
has contracted with each property owner to spread the connection fee over a three-year period to be
collected with their property taxes.
Aqreements:
Item 51. Aqreement with Habitat for Humanity for Construction of Affordable Sinale-Familv Homes in the
amount of $100,000 in HOME CHDO Funds. Habitat is requesting $100,000 in HOME CHDO funds to
be used for the acquisition of land, construction supervision and related construction soft costs in the
construction of five single-family affordable homes. Habitat will initially have access to $50,000, and if
they are successful in expending this amount within 18 months from the date of the agreement, they will
have access to an additional $50,000. If any new homebuyer sells their home, the City's assistance will
be due and payable, it will not be a forgivable loan.
Item 5n. Aqreement with Shell Oil Company related to the Allen Road Sewer Proiect in the amount of
$80.000. The City is extending an 18-inch diameter sewer line along Allen Road from Rosedale Highway

An Ordinance amending Section 10.40.010 ofthe Bakersfield MunicipalCoderelatingto
removalofvehicles.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Municipal Code authorizes the removal of vehicles parked in the same location on a City
street for greater than 72 hours. The effect of the ordinance could be avoided by moving the vehicle a few
feet. This amendment requires the vehicle be moved greater than a half mile to avoid removal. This
amendment also allows the Police Department discretion in notifying non-complying owners and removing
non-complying vehicles.
The Legislative and Litigation Committee discussed the issues surrounding this ordinance amendment
and recommended first reading.
This Ordinance received first reading at the City Council meeting on June 9, 2004.

Adoption of ordinance requiring automatic gate opening devices on access roads requiring
emergency services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Gated subdivisions and apartment complexes have become increasingly prevalent in our community due
to the added security and exclusivity they offer its residents. These security gates, however, significantly
impede the Bakersfield Fire Department's emergency access to residences located therein. The
additional time it takes to stop the fire engine, get out, unlock a key box on the gate, and then unlock and
release the gate mechanism, may result in increased property damage and/or extended medical aid
response times.
Optical technology is currently installed throughout the metro area for controlling traffic signals for
emergency response vehicles. Similar devices can be used to automatically open the gates of these
private communifies.
This ordinance would require all new construction of such access gates to be equipped with an automatic
opening device which is activated through the wireless activation system currently utilized on emergency
response vehicles.

BACKGROUND: Some areas of southwest Bakersfield have been experiencing continuous sewer odor
problems from the Buena Vista Trunk Line which is becoming a nuisance to residents and businesses.
Nuisance odors are a violation of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District)
Policies and can be punishable by a fine. The City has already received a warning to alleviate the
nuisance odors and reduce the high levels of sulfide gas found in the sewer system, or face a fine. The
Public Works Engineering Department contracted with CaroJlo Engineers to establish an odor alleviation
program, which recommends the continuous injection of Bioxide. Bioxide is a proprietary product,
patented by U.S. Filters, and is therefore a sole-source product.
The Finance Director has determined that Bioxide can only be reasonably obtained from one vendor, U.S.
Filters, because of patent restrictions and the need to continually inject the product to control odors in the
Buena Vista sewer line.

Resolution ordering change of proceedings to reduce assessments to $2,895,000.00
for parcels located in City of Bakersfield Assessment District 03-1(Brighton Place/Silver Creek Il).
(Ward 4, 5 & 6)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adopting resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On September 24, 2003, Council approved the Resolution 178-03 levying assessments of unpaid principal
for parcels within the boundaries of the City of Bakersfield Assessment District 03-1 (Brighton Place/Silver
Creek II). The Bond issue amount was estimated to be $3,080,000.
Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution 178-03, the actual amount of bonds issued for the district was
$2,895,000 ($185,000 less than originally estimated). This resolution authorizes an "amended"
assessment lien be recorded to reduce the lien amount for the various parcels within the assessment
district, as detailed in Exhibit A to this resolution. The amended levy amounts are lower than the original
levy amounts and they more accurately reflect the actual amount of unpaid principal bonds outstanding.

Sewer Connection Fee Assessments (Wards 7 and 4):
1. Resolution confirming assessments for sewer connection fees and authorizing the
collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector.
2. Agreements with property owners to pay sewer connection fee in installments and notice
of special assessment lien.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution approval of agreements.
BACKGROUND: During the past few months, more than twenty property owners have connected their
properties to the City sewer system. Each has claimed that to pay the sewer connection fee in one
payment would produce an economic hardship. To assist in paying the connection fee the City has
contracted with each property owner to spread the connection fee over a three (3) year period to be
collected with their property taxes in accordance with Municipal Code Section 14.12.390.B. This
resolution authorizes the Kern County Tax Collector to collect the connection fee in three equal payments
over the next three years. All the agreements are on file in the City Clerk's office. One blank copy of the
agreement is attached herewith for reference.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: When reconstructed, the Bakersfield Municipal Airport had an area prepared for the
purpose of ground leases which allowed for the construction of owner hangars. Currently there are
sixteen such Ground Lease Agreements and constructed hangars. The term of these agreements is for a
period of twenty years with the option of two 5-year extensions. The approximate size of the aircraft
storage hangars is 2,000 square feet. Each land lease generates $40 per month in revenue.

Agreement between Habitat for Humanity, Golden Empire and the City of Bakersfield for
the construction of affordable single-family homes in the amount of $100,000 in HOME
CHDO Funds. (WARDS All)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Habitat for Humanity, Golden Empire (Habitat) is a qualified Community Housing Development
Organization (CHDO) and is requesting $100,000 in HOME CHDO funds to aid in the construction of
single-family affordable homes. As a CHDO, Habitat has access to the 15% CHDO set-aside from the
HOME program funding. In addition, as a CHDO, Habitat is eligible for technical assistance and other
assistance to cover customary and reasonable construction project costs for HOME eligible projects. The
City ultimately determines the type of assistance to be provided to the CHDO.
Habitat is requesting $100,000 in HOME CHDO funds to be used for the acquisition of land, construction
supervision and related construction soft costs in the construction of the single-family affordable homes.
Specifically, the funds would be used to assist with acquisition costs, paying for such construction costs as
school fees, building permits, appraisal fees and for construction supervision. Habitat will initially have
access to $50,000 and if they are successful in expending this amount within 18 months from the date of
the agreement, they will have access to an additional $50,000.
Habitat has been constructing single-family affordable homes since 1991. Habitat is continually striving to
increase their construction of new affordable homes. With their current request, Habitat plans to construct
five single-family homes. The newly constructed homes will be sold to families whose income is between
30% and 50% of the area's median income. The selected Habitat family and volunteers provide the
needed sweat equity labor to construct the homes. If the new homebuyer sells their home, the City's
assistance will be due and payable. It will not be a forgivable loan.

Agreement with Calloway Associates for reimbursement and First Right of Refusal for
prope~y along CaJloway Drive and Olive Drive. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: Last year, the City completed construction of the Calloway Drive at Olive Drive box
culvert project. This major project realigned the Friant-Kern Canal and allowed Olive Drive to be extended
westerly to serve a growing development area. As part of the project, the City will acquire a remnant piece
of property from the Bureau of Reclamation, located at the southwest corner of Calloway Drive and Olive
Drive.
Calloway Associates owns property adjacent to this remnant piece along Calloway Drive south of Olive
Drive. The City had to work with Calloway Associates to acquire a small sliver of land for the large
construction project and constructed street frontage improvements along Calloway Drive to facilitate a fully
developed road section. For their part in assisting the City with the necessary right-of-way, the City has
agreed in principle to allow Calloway Associates to be given a "first right of refusal" to purchase the
remnant piece of land at appraised value. This agreement sets forth the condition of that ''first right of
refusal" as well as reimbursement along Calloway Associates' frontage for the work the City performed.

Agreement with Shell Oil Company for $80,000 to allow the City to construct the Allen Road
Sewer Project where it crosses the Shell Oil line near Alien Road and Hageman Road

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The City is extending an 18 inch diameter sewer line along Alien Road from Rosedale
Highway to Noriega Road. This sewer line extension will cross a ten inch (10") diameter oil line in the
vicinity of Hageman Road. This agreement will authorize Shell Oil to relocate their existing oil line, which
will allow the City's future contractor to install the new sewer line per the required design.
Sufficient funds are budgeted to cover this agreement's costs. Per the agreement, the cost of the
relocation is the actual itemized cost. That itemized cost will be provided to the City upon completion of
their work.

Agreement with Southern California Gas Company for relocation of gas line at intersection
of Calloway Drive and Olive Drive. (~Nard 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Construction of the large box culvert at the intersection of Calloway Drive and Olive
Drive required a 24" gas main be relocated. Due to the nature of improvements, the gas line had to be
relocated in two different phases; the first of which was completed in the public right of way at the expense
of Southern California Gas Company. The second phase must now be completed which includes
undergrounding the portion that currently bridges the old canal alignment. At the August 27, 2003, Council
Meeting, an appropriation of $360,000 was approved, which included a $160,000 deposit with Southern
California Gas Company which was to be used for design of the project and to pay for materials.
The design work was completed earlier this year with two options. One with developer participation and
the second with the City relocating only that portion of the gas line needed to widen Olive Drive, west of
Calloway Road. The developer opted out of the relocation due to cost. This Collectible Work
Authorization and payment of $290,100 will allow Southern California Gas Company to complete the
relocation of the 24" pipeline during the summer which corresponds with Iow usage. It is recommended
that City Council approve the Agreement so the balance of the relocation cost can be paid to Southern
California Gas to initiate construction.

Contract Change Order No. 1 to Agreement No. 03-240 with Bowman Asphalt for
$73,209.02 (for a revised contract amount of $1,154,987.02) for the Kern River Bike Path
Improvements and Riparian Restoration Project from Stockdale Highway to Manor Street
(Wards 2,3, and 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: During the construction of this project, it was discovered that the existing underground
boxes that hold the irrigation valves were not traffic rated. An upgrade to a traffic rated box is needed
because these boxes are located in the paved area of the bike path. The contactor has agreed to upgrade
eleven (11) boxes for the lump sum price of $1,677.50.
A "fog seal" needs to be applied to the new pavement in order to lengthen the service life of the bike path.
The contractor has agreed to apply this seal for the lump sum price of $11,404.
During the course of construction, a "Maxicom" irrigation communications cable was discovered. This
cable is in conflict with the new bike path and must be replaced. The contractor has agreed to replace this
cable for the lump sum price of $4,137.83.
A water line which was supposed to service the new irrigation system does not exist. As such, an
additional water line must be laid to provide irrigation service for the landscaping along the bike path. The
contractor has agreed to install this additional water line for the lump sum price of $16,647.28.
Several contract item quantities had to be increased, decreased, or deleted during the course of this
project. Further, other adjustments needed to be made for delay costs, City furnished equipment, and
equipment substitutions. The total cost of these adjustments is $39,342.41.
This change order will be funded with State Proposition 12 and 13 funds.

$61,730.49 (for a revised contract amount of $5,607,300.12) for the Bakersfield Ice Center
Project. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: Construction of the Ice Sports Center was awarded to SC Anderson, Inc., at the
January 29, 2003 Council meeting. The awarded contract amount was $5,490,000. This is the fifth and
final contract change order to be submitted for the project. This change order will increase the project total
by $61,730.49 as summarized on the attached contract change order. The net increase of all the contract
change orders is $117,300.12, which is 2.1% of the original contract amount.
The item of most note in this change order is the heat exchange system which was installed in order to
use the heat generated from the chiller unit in the Ice Center to heat the water in the Aquatic Center's
pools. As a result, energy savings will be realized for the Aquatic Center.
The cumulative change orders to date on this project reflect a net increase of $117,300.12 as illustrated
below:
· Original Contract Amount = $5,490,000.00
· Amended Contract Amt after All Change Orders = $5,607,300.12
· Net Increase = $ 117,300.12
Sufficient funds are budgeted to cover this contract change order.

Dedication Of Property: Two minimal width strips of road right-of-way on the west side of
Old River Road between Campus Park Drive and Pacheco Road. 0Nard 5)
A Quitclaim Deed from the City of Bakersfield to GMAC Model Home Finance, Inc., a
Virginia corporation, quitclaiming two obsolete portions of road right-of-way (right turn
lanes) in exchange for right-of-way for an adopted right turn lane in the same general
area.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the quitclaim.
BACKGROUND:
The original subdivision development at the northwest corner of Old River Road and Pacheco Road
was designed for two road crossings of the Buena Vista Canal along the west side of Old River Road.
Tentative Tract No. 6082, approved January 17, 2002, provides for just one road crossing over the
Buena Vista Canal in the same general area. The dedicated right-of-way for Old River Road provides
right turn lanes for the two obsolete original canal crossings.
Kern Delta Water District has dedicated the road right-of-way for the approved canal crossing and will
subsequently dedicate the right-of way for a new right turn lane at the approved crossing. The District
will dedicate the new right turn lane in exchange for the City's quitclaim of the two obsolete right turn
lanes. GMAC Model Home Finance, Inc. will subsequently convey the obsolete right turn parcels to the
District for use as canal right-of-way.

Resolution ordering the vacation of the south 126 feet of the 30 foot wide alley between
Oak Street and Olive Street extending from Palm Street to Dracena Street. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The Safe-1 Credit Union is planning to expand their building and facilities at the
northeast corner of Palm and Oak Streets. The Credit Union owns property on both sides of the public
alley at 400 Oak Street. They are requesting vacation of the south 126 feet of the alley as part of their
building expansion and site development plan.
This request is a revision of a prior application by Safe-1 for vacation of the entire length of the alley (from
Palm Street to Dracena Street). The prior request was denied by Public Works because the proposal did
not provide adequate access for City refuse collection. The revised development plan provides adequate
access for municipal services.
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 that no City sewer or storm drain facilities are in the vacating area.
Public Works requires that the applicant provides for a 25 foot wide (min.) public access lane connecting
the remainder portion of the alley to Olive Street (see attached plat). The access lane shall be constructed
with a pavement thickness equivalent to a City standard commercial alley.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and the utility companies have indicated
they have facilities in the vacating area that will need to be protected by reservation of an easement.
Public Works notes that a public utility easement must be reserved over the entire vacating area to serve
this purpose.
On April 20, 2004, all property owners within a radius of 300 feet of the vacating area were mailed
preliminary notice of the project and none have indicated any objections as of the date of this report.
The proposed vacation was heard by the Planning Commission at its meeting of May 6, 2004, and was
found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.
Resolution of Intention No. 1337 declaring intention to order said proposed alley vacation was adopted by

Continued public hearing to consider an increase in the monthly readiness-to-serve charge
and quantity rate for the City of Bakersfield Domestic Water system. (Portions of Wards No.
4,5,6&7)
Resolution establishing domestic water rates for Ashe, Fairhaven and Riverlakes
Ranch service areas of City of Bakersfield Water System.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND: California state law under Proposition 218, requires that increases in existing fees
and charges be adopted by ordinance or resolution following a public hearing. A notice of public hearing
on a proposed increase in the readiness-to-serve charge and the quantity rate on the City of Bakersfield
Domestic Water System was mailed to each of the customers and/or property owners that receive City
water service. The mailing occurred during April 2004. As of June 8, 2004, the City Clerk had received
1 written letter(s) protesting or commenting on the fee increase.
The readiness-to-serve charge and quantity rate are proposed to be increased. The current readiness-to-
serve charge for a typical residential customer is $7.95 per month. The proposed monthly service charge
is $8.90, which reflects a total increase of $0.95 per month. The readiness-to-serve charge for larger
services will be assessed by a service-size ratio relative to a typical residential customer. The quantity rate
is currently $0.56 per hundred cubic foot unit. The proposed rate will increase by $0.03 to $0.59 per unit. A
typical residential customer will see a total increase of $1.79 per month. Due to new water supply
programs, the cost of meeting water quality standards and addressing security issues of the federal
Homeland Security Act, overall expenditures have increased 7.5%.
According to Proposition 218, if written protests against the proposed fee increase are presented by a
majority of the customers and/or property owners that are receiving water service from the City, the City
shall not charge the additional readiness-to-serve fee or the additional quantity rate. If written protests
against the proposed increased fee and charges are not presented by a majority of the customers and/or
property owners that are receiving water service from the City, the City Council may adopt the proposed
fees and charges.
The increased readiness-to-serve charge and quantity rate would become effective October 1,2004.
This hearing was continued from the Council meeting of May 26, 2004

Increase Transportation Development Fund (TDF) appropriations by $140,000 in the Public Works
Operating Budget for an additional Engineer I and Engineering Technician I position to work
exclusively on the TDF funded capital improvement program. Subsequent to the preparation of the FY
2004-05 Proposed Budget, staff was reviewing the long range plan for TDF projects and a
determination was made that the TDF fund balance should be utilized to construct additional projects
now instead of being carded forward into future years. The justification for that determination was
based in part on the continued growth rate of the City. Both positions will be funded with TDF funds
and were included in the Public Works Department budget presentation to the Council On June 7,
2004.
Increase Transportation Development Fund (TDF) appropriations by $5,022,000 in the Public Works
Department Capital Improvement Budget for additional TDF funded capital improvement projects listed
below which were added subsequent to the preparation of the FY2004-05 Proposed Budget. Each of
