Ordinances
Item 11e. First Readina of an Ordinance Amendina the Municipal Code relatina to the 2004
California State Electrical Code. The current Buildings and Construction Code is based on the
2001 California Electrical Code. This Ordinance will adopt the 2004 Code Electrical Code, which
has recently been adopted by the State. City Building staff has met with the County's Building
Department to coordinate consistency in code enforcement and scheduling of joint training for the
industry.
Aareements
Item 11n. Aareement with Clifford & Brown for Leaal Services Concernina the Hiahwav 99 and
White Lane Interchanae. The City Attorney's Office desires to retain the services of this firm
regarding alleged faulty design work performed by URS Corporation on the project. Clifford &
Brown has agreed to handle the matter on a contingency fee basis. This means their
compensation will be based on a percentage of the net recovery from URS Corporation.
Item 110. Workers' Compensation Cost Containment Aareements. Eighteen companies
submitted proposals in response to a request for proposal bill review, and seventeen companies
submitted proposals for utilization review and nurse case management. After a through review of
the proposals, oral interviews were held. The potential providers were assessed on their
knowledge and experience in providing workers' compensation cost containment services, with a
special focus on providing services to municipalities. Other pertinent factors were considered such
as cost savings to the City, fee structure, staffing and computer and reporting capabilities.
Staff recommends entering into an annual agreement with ComplQ for bill review services in an
amount not to exceed $150,000 per year. Staff also recommends entering into annual contracts
with Monitor Case Management for utilization review services in an amount not to exceed $70,000
per year, and for nurse case management services in an amount not to exceed $35,000 per year.
Item 11p. On-Call Enaineerina and Survevina Services for Non-Federallv Funded Capital

submitted proposals, 7 were selected. Those firms are: Boyle Engineering (Bakersfield); DMJM
Harris (Los Angeles); Harris & Associates (Fresno); Meyer Civil Engineering (Bakersfield); Parsons
(Pasadena); T Y Lin (San Ramon); and Willdan (Ventura). Since specific scopes of work have not

yet been determined, the compensation amount for each firm is set at a not-to-exceed amount of
$300,000 each for a 2-year period. Project assignments will be based on the firm's experience and
expertise, and on a rotational basis.
Item 11q. Desian Consultant Contract with Mever Civil Enaineerina. Inc. for Imorovement Plan
Checkina Enaineerina Services in an amount not to exceed $100.000. The Subdivision Section of
the Public Works Department currently has a four-week backlog in improvement plan check. In
order to maintain an acceptable service level for the development community, staff recommends
hiring an outside consultant firm to provide plan checking services during peak times.
Items 111. and u. Aareements for Preoaration of an Environmental Imoact Reoort and Desian
Services for the Exoansion and Uoarade of Wastewater Treatment Plant No.3 Proiect. Recent
growth has caused the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 to rapidly approach its
maximum treatment capacity. Additionally, Plant No.3 will need to be expanded to accommodate
new housing developments on the west side and the growth of the Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream
Plant. Staff received responses from two environmental planning firms to prepare the EIR, who
were then interviewed by a selection committee and ranked on their qualifications, ability to
perform the work, and understanding of the project requirements. Quad Knopf was selected
because of their highly qualified team of environmental planners, experience with wastewater
treatment facilities, and extensive environmental planning background on projects in and around
the City, and they provided the best value to the City. Although WZI, Inc. was the low bidder, they
have less experience with environmental planning and EIR development for public agencies, and
had not developed an EIR for a large municipal wastewater treatment plant. A fixed fee of
$232,963 was negotiated after a final refinement of the scope of work.
The City and Parsons Water and Infrastructure, Inc. entered into an agreement on July 21, 2004
for design consulting services for the expansion of Wastewater Treatment Plant 3. At that time, the
proposed design was based on an increase in capacity from 16 million gallons per day to 24 million
gallons per day, and included the disposal of secondary treated effluent for irrigation of non-food
crops on farmland similar to the current plant effluent disposal operation. Considering the rapid
and unanticipated growth in the service area, staff is now recommending an enlarged expansion of
the treatment capacity to 32 million gallons per day. Parsons recommends the addition of a tertiary
treatment facility and sludge dewatering facilities to the enlarged secondary facilities. The
expanded scope of work for design and construction of Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 would
enable the City to sell tertiary treated wastewater in lieu of purchasing additional costly farmland.
The contract amendment includes the changes in scope of work, and increases the compensation
by $4,319,682, for a total contract amount of $8,016,248.
Item 11w. Amendment NO.1 to Aoreement No. 03-183 with Kern County to Extend the Term for
the Citv to Process the Countv's Greenwaste Material in an amount not to exceed $8.540,000.
The Agreement provides for the City's facility to accept and process recyclable greenwaste from
County areas. Under the agreement, the County pays a prorated share of the facility expenses,
according to the percentage of their greenwaste. The current agreement expires June 30, 2005.
The amendment continues the program another three years and adjusts the amount of
compensation to reflect budgeted amounts for the coming year. It also makes a few other minor
changes, which are listed in the administrative report.
Bids
Item 11x. Award Contract to Soil Enterorises, Inc. for Demolition of Imorovements at 709-711-713
Lake Street in the amount of $191,140. The Baker Street Redevelopment Project requires the
clearing of the block between Baker and King Streets, and Kentucky and Lake Streets for

demolitions were completed last year and the remainder will be demolished next year to complete
this project. Funding was provided by HUD grants. Five acceptable bids were received. Staff
recommends award to Soil Enterprises, Inc.
Item 11z. Award Annual Contract to Jim Alfter Cement Contractor for Concrete Work in an
amount not to exceed $900.000. This contract provides for concrete work and repairs on curbs,
gutters, sidewalks, etc. One acceptable bid was received. The budgeted amount reflects a 5%
increase over last year's unit prices. Jim Alfter Cement Contractor has satisfactorily performed this
service for eight years.
Item 11bb. Reiect all Bids for Annual Contract for Janitorial Supplies for Various Departments.
Out of the 34 invitations to bid that were sent, 8 firms responded; however all 8 were incomplete.
Staff will review the needs of the departments and either rebid or implement other procedures to
secure the supply items generally purchased on this contract.
Miscellaneous
Item 11cc. Revised Job Specification for Assistant City Attorney. This position was added to the
FY 2005-06 budget at the request of Council. The primary responsibilities will be to develop,
maintain and monitor a Community Prosecution Program. This revision was approved by the
Miscellaneous Civil Service Board.
Item 11 dd. Revision to Miscellaneous Civil Service Rules & Reaulations. The Miscellaneous Civil
Service Rules and Regulations have been revised to streamline the hiring process and clarify the
language to be consistent with actual practice. Specifically, administrative functions have been
delegated to the Human Resources Manager to reduce cycle time recognizing that the Board's
primary function is that of an appeal body. The revisions are endorsed by the Central California
Association of Public Employees and were approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board.
Item 11ft. Leaislative Platform. The Legislative and Litigation Committee met on June 13, 2005
to review the 2005 Platform for possible changes. The Committee recommended two paragraphs
under General Government with obsolete language regarding legislation on the 2004 ballot be
deleted. It was noted if new legislative issues should emerge during the year, the Platform could
be updated to reflect current trends.
Item 11gg. Transfer Section 108 Loan Savin as (approximatelY $120.000) and Appropriate
$49.230 Section 108 Loan Interest Earninas to the Municipal Debt Service Fund for Payment on
Outstandina Principal and Interest Balances for FY 2005-06. In August 2003, the City received
Section 108 loan funds for various public facility improvements, which are now complete. There
are minor balances remaining, which staff proposes to apply to outstanding principal and interest
on the loans. Due to expenditure limits, these funds cannot be transferred or reprogrammed for a
future project. Should they not be used for the recommended purpose, the City would be required
to return the funds to HUD.
Item 11hh. Authorize Finance Director to Forward Account Receivables in Various Funds Totalina
$106.188.18 to a Collection Aaencv. Staff has exhausted all possible means to collect the past
due amounts. Further collection efforts would result in excessive cost. Historically, 5-7% of City
accounts forwarded to a collection agency are eventually recovered. The accounts are detailed in
the administrative report.

CONSENT CALENDAR HEARINGS
Item 12a. Hearina to Consider a Resolution ADDrovina Vacation of Allevs between H and Eve
Streets and 27'h and 28th Streets. This vacation will enable San Joaquin Community Hospital to
move ahead with the planning and construction of a parking structure related to the expansion.
The new parking structure will eliminate the need to have a variance to the off-street parking
requirements. No objections have been received from any City department, utility companies or
adjacent property owners. The Planning Commission found the vacation to be consistent with the
2010 General Plan.
Item 12b. Hearina to Consider a Resolution ADDrovina the Vacation of the Southwest Corner of
Truxtun Avenue and Commercial Wav. A right-turn deceleration lane was recently constructed on
eastbound Truxtun Avenue at Commercial Way. The property at this corner had more right-of-way
than was necessary to complete the project. It is this additional right-of-way that the City wishes to
abandon. No objections have been received from any City department, utility companies or
adjacent property owners. The Planning Commission found the vacation to be consistent with the
2010 General Plan.
HEARINGS
Item 13a. Hearina to Receive Public Comment on the Neaative Declaration ProDosed for the
SDhere of Influence (SOl) Amendment to LAFCO. Because of Bakersfield's unprecedented
growth, it is necessary to amend the SOl in order to provide adequate area for future expansion.
The last revision was August 2004. The proposed amendment would take in most of the
Metropolitan Bakersfield planning area. No annexations are proposed with this request. The
Negative Declaration is a result of a study to assess the potential environmental impacts and
identify any appropriate mitigation measures associated with the proposal. LAFCO will rely upon
this document in approving the request.
The public will also have an opportunity to comment on the Municipal Services Review. This
document analyzes the City's ability to provide urban services.
This hearing is to receive input on the adequacy of the negative declaration. Comments are to be
referred to staff for response and preparation of a final negative declaration for subsequent
adoption.

SUBJECT: An Ordinance adopting a Negative Declaration and amending Section 17.06.020 (Zone
Map No. 123-22) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the
zoning from an R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling) zone to a C-2 (Regional
Commercial) zone on 11,965 square feet, and from a C-2 (Regional Commercial) zone
to an R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling) zone on 13,030 square feet generally
located north of Panama Lane, east of Ashe Road (File No. 05-0099). (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was held June 22, 2005.
The applicant states the zone change is to facilitate the processing for Vesting Tentative Tract
6475. The existing irregular shape property line is being altered slightly to allow for uniformity in
lot depth.
The proposed minor adjustment to the zone boundaries is consistent with the General Plan. The
General Plan identifies the land uses "generally" and the adoption of a zone change is based on
actual legal descriptions. The proposed zone change promotes orderly development by providing
adequate land configuration for subdividing related Vesting Tentative Tract 6475. Staff has no
objection to the zone change request.

Assessment District 04-3(Solera/Rio Vista). The Bond issue amount was estimated to be
$3,430,000.
Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution 111-05, the actual amount of bonds issued for the district
was $3,380,000 ($50,000 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.

DATE:
June 22, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval
BACKGROUND:
On March 4, 2005, a request for proposal to provide workers' compensation cost containment services to
include bill review, utilization review and nurse case management, was sent to 25 companies. Eighteen
companies submitted responses for bill review and seventeen companies submitted responses for
utilization review and nurse case management. After a thorough review of the proposals submitted, the
following companies were selected to participate in the oral interview process for biil review: ComplQ,
Genex, Tristar, Total Healthcare Management, and CompPartners. The following companies were
selected for utilization review: Genex, Tristar, Corvel, Total HealthCare Management, and Monitor Case
Management. The following companies were selected for nurse case management: Genex, Tristar,
Corvel, Total HealthCare Management and Monitor Case Management. Corvel declined to participate in
the oral interviews.
On May 27, 2005, oral interviews were held. The City's oral board consisted of the foil owing staff: Ginny
Gennaro, City Attorney; Carroil Hayden, Human Resources Manager: Cheryl Perkins, Treasurer: and Pat
Flaherty, Risk Manager.
The potential providers were assessed on their knowledge and experience in providing workers'
compensation cost containment services, with a special focus on providing services to municipalities.
Other pertinent factors were considered such as cost savings to the city, fee structure, staffing and
computer and reporting capabilities.

S:IMeglAgreements\RFPIWC-Claims Admin12005IADMI N-RPT. DOC
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Based on the proposals submitted and the results of the oral interviews, staff recommends awarding
contracts to ComplQ for bill review services and Monitor Case Management for utilization review and
nurse case management services.
The ComplQ contract provides for a flat fee in the amount of $7 per bill and a maximum of 20% of savings
for Preferred Provider Organization discounts. This fee is comparable to that quoted by other companies
interviewed. ComplQ has provided bill review services to the City for the past seven years resulting in
excellent cost savings.
Monitor Case Management has extensive experience with cities in California and was lowest bidder for
utilization review services ($180 flat fee per claim and $200 per hour for peer review) and the lowest
bidder of those interviewed for nurse case management services ($80 per hour).
The annual not to exceed amounts are based on our recent claims experience; however, due to the nature
of worker's compensation claims, the number of claims submitted, the severity of injuries, etc., the not to
exceed amount may need to be adjusted in the future. The actual charges for these services will vary
based upon our actual claims and will be offset to some degree by the amount of savings resulting from
these contracts. The term of the agreements are for (2) years, the City may extend the contract for one
additional year under the same terms and conditions.
Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Risk Management budget for these services.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreements.
BACKGROUND: To expedite delivery of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), staff implemented an
on-call engineering and surveying services contracts with selected engineering firms in 1996. This on call
program provides staff surveying and civil engineering design services as needed for various City CIP
projects. The program has proven to be effective for providing timely design and surveying services to the

Fiscal Years 2005-06 and 2006-07.
On April 18, 2005, staff sent out a notice about this program to 134 local and out of town engineering
firms. A total of 30 firms responded to that notice by obtaining a copy of the City's Request for
Qualifications. On May 13, 2005, the following seventeen firms submitted a Statement of Qualifications,
along with their Hourly Billing Rate Schedule.

DMJM Harris (Los Angeles);
Harris & Associates (Fresno);
Meyer Civil Engineering (Bakersfield);
Parsons (Pasadena);
T Y Lin (San Ramon); and
Willdan (Ventura).
Since specific scopes of work have not yet been determined, the compensation amount for each firm is set
at a not-to-exceed aggregate total of $300,000 for a two-year period. Project assignments will be based
on the firm's experience and expertise and on a rotational basis.
Funding for these agreements will be paid for through the actual budgeted project. No additional
appropriations are anticipated at this time.
To reduce paper usage, the backup documents attached to this administrative report are limited to a copy
of each of the seven contracts (eight pages each), and one copy of the City's Request for Qualification
which is included as Exhibit A in each of the seven original contracts. Each original contract also includes

week turn around time. This agreement will provide those services, and McAllister Ranch will be paying
for these services.
Revenue higher than originally estimated will be realized in the current fiscal year because of the
increased activity. An additional appropriation of $60,000 is needed to fund this agreement.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Quad Knopf (not to exceed $232,963) for the development of an
environmental assessment and preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the
Expansion and Upgrade of Wastewater Treatment Plant NO.3 Project (Ward 6).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: The recent growth on the west side of Bakersfield has caused the existing
Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 to rapidly approach its maximum treatment capacity. The current
capacity of the Plant is 16 million gallons per day (MGD). Plant No.3 will be expanded to 32 MGD to
accommodate new housing developments on the west side of Bakersfield and the growth of the Dreyer's
Grand Ice Cream Plant.
City staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) and received responses from 2 environmental planning
firms, WZI, Inc and Quad Knopf. These firms were interviewed by a selection committee and ranked on
their qualifications, ability to perform the work, and understanding of the project requirements.
The selection committee ranked the two firms prior to reviewing the Fee Proposals. The top ranked firm
was Quad Knopf because of their highly qualified team of environmental planners, their experience with
wastewater treatment facilities and their extensive environmental planning background on projects in and
around the City of Bakersfield. The second firm, WZI, Inc, has worked extensively in the Kern County
area, but had a background primarily on private industrial projects, had less experience with environmental
planning and EIR development for public agencies, and had not developed an EIR for a large municipal
wastewater treatment plant. Due to the critical nature and timing of this project, the City staff believes that
it is in the best interests of the City to use the environmental planning consultant with the most extensive
experience with municipal wastewater treatment projects. Therefore, the City staff recommends approval
of the Consultant Agreement with Quad Knopf.
After a review of the Fee Proposals, it was decided that Quad Knopf provided the best value to the City
despite the lower fee proposed by WZI, Inc. A fixed fee of $232,963 was negotiated after a final refinement
of the scope of work. Sufficient funds are budgeted to award this contract.
To reduce paper usage, the backup documents attached to this administrative report do not include the
Consultant's Proposal. The Consultant's Proposal is available in the City Clerk's Office for review.

SUBJECT: Design Services for the Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 - 2007 Expansion Project
(Ward 6):
1. Amendment NO.2 to Design Consultant Contract No. 04-214 with Parsons Water and
Infrastructure to increase compensation to the Consultant by $4,319,682, (for a total
contract amount of $8,016,248), to provide additional design services for Project.
2. Appropriate $4,000,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund Balance to the Capital Improvement
Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield and Parsons Water and Infrastructure, Inc. entered into an
agreement on July 21, 2004 for design consulting services for the expansion of Wastewater Treatment
Plant 3. Expansion of Plant 3 is required to accommodate the increase in wastewater flows from new
grow1h areas in Plant 3 service area. The original proposed design was based on an 8 million gallons per
day increase in capacity and included the disposal of secondary treated effluent for irrigation of non-food
crops on farmland similar to the current plant effluent disposal operation. After commencing development
of a Pre-design Study in September 2004 to evaluate the City's wastewater treatment options, City staff
concluded that the rapid grow1h in the Plant 3 service area necessitated a re-evaluation of the timing and
scope of the plant expansion. Currently, Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 is approaching its maximum
treatment capacity and projections of future grow1h in the Plant 3 service area indicate that planning for a
second plant expansion would have to commence prior to completion of this 8 million gallon per day
treatment plant expansion. City staff is now recommending an enlarged expansion of the treatment
capacity for Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 to 16 million gallons per day (for a total treatment capacity of
32 million gallons per day) to meet the unanticipated, rapid grow1h in the Plant 3 service area. Parsons
Water and Infrastructure, the City's design consultant has evaluated cost/treatment options jointly with City
staff and recommends the addition of a tertiary treatment facility and sludge dewatering facilities to the
enlarged secondary facilities. The expanded scope of work for design and construction of Wastewater
Treatment Plant 3 would enable the City to sell tertiary treated wastewater in lieu of purchasing additional
costly farmland.
The contract amendment includes the following major changes In scope of work:
1) Revise expansion from 8 million gallons per day to 16 million gallons per day. Total treatment
capacity of plant after expansion will then be 32 million gallons per day,
2) Increase size of power cogeneration facility,

6) Design for tertiary treatment facilities. This will create saleable effluent clean enough to discharge
in local canal and eliminate costly purchase of farmland. and
7) Design for tertiary treatment effluent pipe line.
Note: Phase II Design Tasks (tertiary treatment) are being budgeted in this amendment. The design for
Phase II shall not commence until the DESIGN CONSULTANT has been given written authorization from
the CITY.

SUBJECT: Amendment NO.1 to Agreement No. 03-183 for Processing of Greenwaste Material for the
County of Kern by the City of Bakersfield, to Extend the Agreement for a Term of Three
Years, With a Total Compensation of Not to Exceed $8,540,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
Agreement No. 03-183 between the City and County provides for the City's greenwaste facility to accept
and process recyclable greenwaste from County areas. Under the agreement, the County pays a prorated
share of the facility expenses, according to the percentage of County greenwaste. Agreements for this
cost sharing arrangement have been in place since the beginning of the green waste recycling program in
1994. The current agreement is for $2,300,000 over two years, and expires June 30, 2005. This
amendment continues the program another three years and adjusts the overall amount of compensation to
$8,540,000 over the entire five year period.
The FY 2005-06 facility budget is $6,126,803. This includes $1,150,201 in capital expenditures for new
equipment and facility improvements, and $4,976,602 for operating expenses. The facility offsets a small
portion of its cost ($120,000) with revenue from the sale of compost and wood chips. The remaining net
cost of $6,006,803 is then shared by the County and City. The County's share for FY 2005-06 is
estimated at $1,982,245, leaving $4,024,558 to be funded from the refuse enterprise fund.
The amendment also makes a few minor administrative changes, including:
A reduction in the number of vehicle weight surveys to save staff time.
The use of new permanent truck scales in place of portable ones for weight surveys.
Separate tracking of costs and revenues for wood fuel versus compostable material.
An earlier annual budget planning cycle to coordinate between City and County.
The greenwaste facility has been a very important part of Bakersfield and Kern County's success in
complying with the state's 50% recycling mandate. The amount of greenwaste recycled at the facility has
doubled since 2000, and has tripled since 1995.

SUBJECT: 2005 Legislative Platform
RECOMMENDATION:
Legislative and Litigation Committee recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Current legislative concerns are captured in the City's Legislative Platform, which identifies the City's
legislative priorities for the year. This allows the City to focus its limited resources on areas of greatest
concern. It also provides a basis for quick response by City legislative advocates and departments to
legislative issues that arise.
Each year the Legislative Platform is reviewed to see if it reflects current needs. The Legislative and
Litigation Committee met on June 13, 2005 to review the 2005 Platform for possible changes.
The Committee recommended two paragraphs under General Government with obsolete language
regarding legislation on the 2004 ballot be deleted. It was noted if new legislative issues should
emerge during the year, the Platform could be updated to reflect current trends.
With the proposed change, the Committee feels the Platform reflects the City's current legislative
concerns.
Therefore, the Legislative and Litigation Committee respectfully requests that Council accept the
proposed 2005 Legislative Platform.

Section 108 Loan Interest Earnings to the Municipal Debt Service Fund for Payment on
Outstanding Principal and Interest Balances for Fiscal Year 2005-06. (WARDS 1 & 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval
BACKGROUND:
In August, 2003, the City received Section 108 loan funds for various public facility improvements. These
projects are now complete and there are minor balances remaining. The deadline to expend the Section
108 funds for the projects is June 30, 2005. Staff is proposing to apply these balances to the outstanding
principle and interest on the loans. The Dept. of Housing and Urban Development has authorized the City
to use these funds for this purpose. Because the City has reached the expenditure time limits on these
projects, these funds cannot be transferred or reprogrammed for a future project. According to HUD
representatives, the only other option would be to return the unused funds to HUD.
There is approximately $120,000 in project savings from the Section 108 Loans and $49,230 in interest
earned. Staff is proposing to apply these balances to the August, 2005 Section 108 principal and interest
payment.

SUBJECT: Resolution ordering the vacation of the alley between "H" Street and Eye Street I between
27th Street and 28'" Street within Section 19, T.29S., R.28E., M.D.M. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: San Joaquin Community Hospital is moving ahead with the planning and construction of
a parking structure related to the expansion of the hospital to better meet the growing health care needs of
Bakersfield. This new parking structure will eliminate the need to have a variance to the off street parking
requirements of the City of Bakersfield, and will give them enough additional parking for medical building
on the corner of Chester and 26th Street.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Development Services, and Economic Development Departments
have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of the date of this report.
Public Works notes that there is no City sewer or storm drain facilities in the vacating area.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and Public Works notes that utility lines
located within the area shall be realigned by the developer.
Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 foot radius of the
proposed vacating area. Public Works has not received any objections from these owners as of the date
of this report.
The proposed vacation was heard by the Planning Commission at its meeting of May 5, 2005, and was
found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan pursuant to Government Code
65402.
It was determined that this action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of CEQA guidelines (general rule), because there is no possibility
that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.
Resolution of Intention No. 1382 declaring intention to order said proposed street vacation was adopted by
City Council at the regular meeting of June 8, 2005.
Notice of this public hearing has been duly advertised and posted as required by law.

SUBJECT: Resolution ordering the vacation of the excess street right of way at southwest corner of
Truxtun Avenue and Commercial Way within Section 34, T.29S., R.27E., M.D.M. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield is constructing a right turn deceleration lane on Truxtun Avenue
eastbound at Commercial Way. The property located on the southwest corner of Truxtun Avenue at
Commercial Way had dedicated street right of way beyond the right of way necessary to expand the
intersection to ultimate width. The City desires to abandon additional right of way beyond what is required.
This activity is permitted and consistent with the General Plan Designation for the site, Office Commercial.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Development Services, and Economic Development Departments
have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of the date of this report.
Public Works notes that there is no City sewer or storm drain facilities in the vacating area.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and Public Works notes adequate
easements shall be reserved for any existing public utilities located in the vacating area.
Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 foot radius of the
proposed vacating area. Public Works has not received any objections from these owners as of the date
of this report.
The proposed vacation was heard by the Planning Commission at its meeting of May 5, 2005, and was

CITY MANAGER Xl;:J2;,
SUBJECT: A hearing to receive comments on the Negative Declaration for the proposed application to
LAFCO for an amendment of the City of Bakersfield Sphere of Influence.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive comments.
BACKGROUND:
This hearing is to receive public comment on the proposed negative declaration for the proposed
Sphere of Influence Amendment and Municipal Services Review.
The Cortese/Knox/Hertzberg Local Government Act of 2000 requires LAFCO to update Sphere of
Influence (SOl) for all applicable jurisdictions. Because of Bakersfield's unprecedented growth, it is
necessary to amend the SOl in order to provide adequate area for future expansion. It is required
for LAFCO to review the SOl every five years. The last revision was August 2004. LAFCO
requires that the City submit the analytical work with an application to amend its sphere to be
placed on its agenda for review and amendment.
SOl PROPOSAL:
The proposed amendment to the SOl would take in most of the Metropolitan Bakersfield planning
area. For annexation to occur, a property must be contiguous to existing city limits and within the
SOl. No annexations are proposed with this request.
THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW:
Any change to the SOl requires a Municipal Service Review (MSR) document which analyzes the
City's ability to provide urban services. LAFCO must evaluate the service-related information and
make written determinations for nine factors. These factors cover evaluations of Infrastructure
Needs and Deficiencies, Growth and Population, Finance Constraints and Opportunities,
Opportunities for Cost Avoidance, Rate Restructuring, Shared Facilities, Government Structure,
Accountability, Governance and Management.

THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
The City conducted an Initial Study to assess the potential environmental impacts and identify any
appropriate mitigation measures associated with the proposal. The result of that work is a
proposed Negative Declaration. The Negative Declaration was distributed for pUblic and agency
review on June 20, 2005. The 30 day review period runs from June 20, 2005 to July 20, 2005.
The City of Bakersfield is both project proponent as well as the Lead Agency for the proposed
project. LAFCO will rely upon this document in approving the request. This hearing is to receive
input on the adequacy of the negative declaration. Comments are to be referred to staff for
response and preparation of a final negative declaration for adoption.
