the improvements, and the assessment fee schedule.
Up front construction costs were covered by Sewer Enterprise funds. As new and existing parcels develop
within this area, the PSA fee will be collected with the building permits. The fees will then be used to reimburse
the Sewer Enterprise Fund, and to either construct the remainder of the system or to reimburse any developer
that builds a portion of the system. The developer will only be reimbursed for that portion of the cost that is
over their proportionate share of the cost of the system.
Council is also asked to give first reading to an Ordinance amending the Municipal Code adding this PSA to
the list of sewer areas. This will allow the City to collects PSA fees from developers and residents to pay the
proportionate share of constructing sewer facilities.

liability claims. The AIMS contract expired in February 2007, and an RFP was subsequently issued. Bragg
and AIMS submitted the only responses. Based on interviews held with these firms, staff recommends
awarding the contract to Bragg. AIMS agreed to handle any open claims to their conclusion on a month-to-
month basis at the expiring rates in their existing contract. This agreement is for a three-year term with not-to-
exceed fees in the first year of $130,000, $135,000 in the second year, and $140,000 in the third year.

Item 12ee. Adoot as Council Policva Letter from the City Manaoer to the Kern Council of Governments Board
of Directors reoardino STIP Auomentation Funds. The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) has
more money than is normal this year due to the passage of the State bond issues. At the Kern Council" of
Governments (Kern COG) meeting of March 15, 2007, the Board of Directors approved submittal to the CTC
(California Transportation Commission) a package of projects that includes $170 million for the Westside
Parkway. Because the increase in funds is an advance which comes out of future STIP allocations, it was
necessary to provide assurance of cooperation with the Kern COG members about future allocations in order
to bring about approval of the plan.
The letter attached to the administrative report was a product of negotiations that was formulated and assisted
by Vice Mayor Hanson and Council member Scrivner. For $114 million more than the City would normally
receive, staff committed to moving $22.5 million in TRIP funds to the 7th Standard Road project. A pledge was
also made to be fair in future. STIP cycles by cooperating with other Kern COG members to phase their
projects with the final stages of the Westside Parkway, where applicable.
HEARINGS
Item 148. Hearino to Consider a Resolution Aoorovino and Adootino an Adiusted Fee for the Develooment
and Imorovement of Parks. Attached to the administrative report is the Public Works Director's annual report
with updated, new, or additional information regarding the fee amount collected for the development of parks.
Staff recommends increasing the current $1,510 per dwelling unit fee to $1,560 per dwelling unit, which is a
3.3% increase. This increase is based entirely on the rise in the Construction Cost Index (CCI). Parks staff
has reviewed the cost components of the park development fee, and other than the CCI, no other changes are
recommended. The park development fee was last adjusted in March, 2006.
Item 14b. Public Hearino to Consider a Resolution Adootino Fees Pursuant to the Cost Recovery System.
Every other year, staff proposes fees to be increased by a standard Consumer price Index (CPI) factor. During
the last review process in July 2005, staff identified 11 fees warranting an increase greater than the CPI factor.
Comments were received by the Building Industry Association regarding these fees. After reviewing these
fees, the Budget and Finance Committee recommended to leave 6 fees at their current level. These fees, plus
those where increases are recommended, are listed in the administrative report. The proposed increases are
4% greater than the CPI.

SUBJECT: Adoption of an ordinance approving a Negative Declaration and amending Section
17.06.020 (Zone Map No. 123-2) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by
changing the zoning from R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) and R-3 (Multiple-Family Dwelling) to
C-O PCD (Professional and Administrative Office - Planned Commercial Development) on
0.86 acres located at the northwest corner of South Real Road and Elcia Drive (ZC # 06-
2038 - Stephen Hawkins P.E. representing Gartner Family Trust) (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on March 14, 2007.
On January 18, 2007, the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on this zone change
request, and recommended adoption by the City Council. The zone change request consists of changing
the existing zoning from R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) and R-3 (Multiple-Family Dwelling) to C-O
(Professional and Administrative Office) on 0.86 acres. Due to opposition received at the hearing
regarding traffic concerns, staff recommended the PCD (Planned Commercial Development) overlay
zone which would require further review by the Planning Commission at the time of development. The
applicant was in agreement with staff's recommendation. The reason for the request is to bring the
zoning into conformance with the General Commercial General Plan Land Use designation on the
subject property.
The original request was for C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning to be in compliance with the existing
zoning in the adjacent Wild West Shopping Center. During the processing of this zone change, the
applicant amended the application to request C-O (Professional and Administrative Office) zoning on the
subject parcels. This request took place after the hearing notice was mailed; however, renoticing the
project was not required because the C-O zone is more restrictive than the originally requested C-1 zone.
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff has determined the proposed project will not
significantly affect the physical environment or existing residential development in the area, therefore a
Negative Declaration was prepared and advertised. No mitigation measures were proposed.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change.

SUBJECT: Allen Road II Planned Sewer Area (Ward 4):
1. Resolution of Intention No.1471 to establish the Sewer Plan for the Allen Road II
Planned Sewer Area and preliminarily approving the cost and fee schedule and
the boundaries of the area.
2. First Reading of Ordinance amending Section 16.32.060 of the Municipal Code
relating to sewer facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution of Intention and first reading of the
Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The City is extending the Allen Road trunk sewer line from Rosedale Highway to
Noriega Road. The City prepared a master sewer study and designed the "backbone" sewer system for
this area. This area is generally bounded by Reina Road on the north, Old Farm Road on the east,
Rosedale Highway on the south and Pharfield Street/Jenkins Road on the west.
This sewer trunk line project is currently under construction. Sewer Enterprise funds provided the upfront
costs. Establishing the Allen Road II Planned Sewer Area (PSA) allows the City to recoup the actual cost
of constructing this sewer line. As new and existing parcels develop within this area, the PSA fee will be
collected with the building permits. The fees collected will be used to reimburse the Sewer Enterprise fund
and will also be used to either construct the remainder of the system or to reimburse any developer that
builds a portion of the system. The developer will only be reimbursed for that portion of the cost that is
over their proportionate share of the cost of the system.
This Resolution approves the boundaries of the area, the cost of the improvements, and the assessment
fee schedule.
This amendment to the Ordinance adds the Allen Road II Planned Sewer Area to the list of sewer areas.
This allows the City to collect PSA fees from developers and residents at either the time of development or
connection to the City sewer system to pay their proportionate share of constructing sewer facilities.

and the boundaries of the area.
2. First Reading of Ordinance amending Section 16.32.060 of the Municipal Code
relating to sewer facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution of Intention and first reading of
the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The City has prepared a master sewer study for an area generally bounded by Panama
Lane on the north, % mile east of Cottonwood Road on the east, Union Ave on the west, and Hosking Ave
on the south. As part of this study, the City has preliminarily designed the "backbone" sewer system to
serve this area and prepared a cost estimate for the construction of the system. The Subdivision Map Act
allows the formation of a Planned Sewer Area as a means of collecting fees for purposes of defraying the
actual or estimated cost of constructing these planned facilities. The cost of the system is fairly
apportioned to the property on an "Equivalent Dwelling Unit" (EDU) basis for residential property and on a
per acre basis for commercial property. This fee is collected at the time of issuance of the building permit.
A developer has constructed this "backbone" system to provide sewer service to his development. The
funds collected as new and existing parcels develop within the area will be used to reimburse this
developer for his costs over his proportionate share of the system's costs. A reimbursement agreement
between the City and the developer will be submitted for Council consideration at a future meeting.
This Resolution preliminarily approves the boundaries of the area, the cost of the improvements and the
assessment fee schedule. This amendment to the Ordinance adds the Panama and Union Planned
Sewer Area to the list of Sewer Areas for which developers and residents are charged at time of
development or connection to pay the cost of constructing the sewer facilities.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1523 to establish the Drainage Plan for the Revised Pioneer
Planned Drainage Area and preliminarily approving the cost and fee schedule and the
boundaries of the area (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution of Intention.
BACKGROUND: The original Pioneer Planned Drainage Area (PDA)was adopted by the City of
Bakersfield on July 19, 1981. This PDA is currently part of Ordinance Section 16.32.060 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code relating to Drainage Facilities. Rapid development in the area has brought a need to
update this study. Furthermore, the original fee was adopted in 1981 and has never been increased to
reflect present costs. This proposed increase is based upon the Construction Cost Index.
The City has prepared a master drainage study for an area generally bounded by Morning Drive on the
east, a Southern California Edison easement on the west, Highland Knolls Drive on the north and Niles
Street to the south. As part of this study, the City has preliminarily designed the "backbone" storm drain
system which consists of a pipeline and multiple drainage basins that will drain water to a central basin to
serve this area. This City has also prepared a cost estimate for the construction of the system. Funding for
this project would be through a Planned Drainage Area (PDA). Future developments in this area would
pay their proportionate share of the cost of this project. The fees collected as new and existing parcels
develop within the area will be used to either construct the remainder of the system or to reimburse any
developer that builds a portion of the system. The costs of the improvements have been apportioned on a
per acreage basis.
This Resolution preliminarily approves the boundaries of the area, the cost of the improvements and the
assessment fee schedule.

SUBJECT: Agreement with the Claim Adjusting Firm of Gregory. B. Bragg & Associates, Inc. (total not to
exceed $405,000 over three years) to Adjust Liability Claims Filed Against the City of
Bakersfield.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
For the past ten (10) years, the City has contracted with Acclimation Insurance Management
Services, Inc. (AIMS) to adjust liability claims filed against the City. In June 2005, the City contracted with
Gregory B. Bragg & Associates, Inc. (Bragg) to handle the more complex liability claims against the City.
These claims include Police liability, Employment liability and Discrimination claims. AIMS continued to
handle the more routine claims such as potholes, minor auto accidents and trip and fall claims.
The AIMS contract expired on February 5, 2007 and the City issued a RFP for adjusting services to handle
the routine claims. AIMS and Bragg were the only positive responders to the RFP. Frontier Adjusters did
not respond and TRISTAR Management declined to respond.
Both Bragg and AIMS were asked to participate in the oral review process. The City's oral board
consisted of the following staff: Virginia Gennaro, City Attorney, John W. Stinson, Assistant City Manager,
Michael Connor, Street Superintendent, Jena Covey, Risk Management Administrative Analyst and Ralph
Korn, Risk Manager. The potential providers were assessed on their knowledge and experience in claim
management as well as their practices in resolving liability claims. The review committee recommended
that Bragg be awarded the contract.
The Bragg proposal is the most economical of the two ~2) responses. Bragg proposes a three (3) year
contract with not-to-exceed professional fees in the 1 S year of One Hundred Thirty thousand dollars
($130,000); in the 2nd year not-to-exceed fees are One Hundred Thirty-five thousand dollars ($135,000);
and in the 3rd year, not-to-exceed fees are One Hundred Forty thousand dollars ($140,000).

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
AIMS' proposed contract fees ranged from One Hundred Fifty-five thousand dollars ($155,000) in the first
year to One Hundred Sixty-five thousand dollars ($165,000) in the third year of the contract.
It is also in the City's best interest to combine liability claim adjusting services with a single provider.
AIMS has agreed to handle the open claims to their conclusion on a month-to-month basis at the expiring
rates in the existing AIMS contract.

SUBJECT: Centennial Freeway (future):
1) Agreement with the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency for $1.0 million to purchase
Agency owned property located to the east of P/Q Streets and south of the B.N.S.F.
railroad tracks for future City freeway right of way requirements.
2) Appropriate $1,000,000 proceeds from the sale of the land to the Southeast
Redevelopment Project Area, Low-Mod Housing Fund for future land acquisition.
(Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement and the appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The Redevelopment Agency holds fee simple title to approximately 5.5 acres of real property located to
the east of P/Q Streets and south of the B.N.S.F. railroad tracks. The City has determined a need for a
1.95 acre linear strip portion of this property as right of way for the purpose of constructing the future
Centennial Freeway. This property was acquired by the Agency in May, 2006 for the development of
affordable multi-family housing units in the South Mill creek project. The funds to purchase the land will
come from the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) Transportation Development Local Match
fund. The funds received from the sale of this property in the amount of $1.0 million will be used towards
the purchase of adjacent replacement property required for the project.
The purchase price of $1.0 million represents the fair market value by appraisal of the property and
includes any and all claims by the Agency for compensation under this transaction.
The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency approved this agreement at their March 12, 2007 meeting.

SUBJECT: City of Bakersfield v. North Kern Water Storage District, et al., City of Bakersfield v. Oi/dale
Mutual Water Company, and City of Bakersfield v. City of Shatter.
1. Agreement with Duane Morris, LLP ($250,000) for outside legal services;
2. Agreement Clifford & Brown ($250,000) for outside legal services;
3. Appropriate $250,000 Ag Water Fund balance and $250,000 Domestic Water Fund
balance to the Ag and Domestic Water operating budgets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Earlier this month, and at the direction of the City Council, the City Attorney filed three lawsuits at
the Kern County Superior Court. The first lawsuit is against the City of Shatter, Oildale Mutual and several
developers and alleges that the water supply assessment and verification approved by the Shatter City
Council are deficient and do not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act. The 2nd lawsuit is
against Oildale Mutual Water Company for processing, submitting and approving an insufficient water
supply assessment and verification. The 3rd lawsuit is against North Kern Water Storage District, the City
of Shatter and Oildale Mutual. It is a comprehensive lawsuit that seeks a binding judicial conclusion in
order to resolve the fundamental question as to whether the 1952 Agreement allows agriculture water to
be used for urban or residential purposes.
The law firm of Duane Morris has represented the City of Bakersfield successfully in water related
litigation for several years. Clifford & Brown has recently been assisting the City in water related matters
and provides a local presence. Both firms are necessary to assist the City in pursuing the above
captioned matters to a successful conclusion.

Cooperative Agreement with California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to
reconstruct the White Lane eastbound to State Route 99 southbound on-ramp (Ward 7).
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: During the recent construction of the White Lane at State Route 99 Overcrossing
Widening and Interchange Improvement project, it was discovered that some of the improvements
could not be built to meet current Caltrans standards without modifications to the eastbound to
southbound on-ramp. It is Caltrans' policy to reconstruct the entire on-ramp to meet current Caltrans
standards if the ramp is modified by an improvement project. In late 2004, Caltrans agreed to an
interim solution to allow a one year postponement of improvements to this ramp so that a proper design
could be prepared. The City of Bakersfield adopted a resolution in December 2004 stating that the City
would prepare a Capital Improvement Program project to reconstruct the southbound on-ramp.
The City contracted T.Y. Lin International to prepare Plans, Specification and Estimates (PS&E) for the
White Lane eastbound to State Route 99 southbound on-ramp. Now, the PS&E work for this project is
complete and has been submitted to Caltrans for approval. This cooperative agreement outlines the
responsibilities of the City and Caltrans regarding construction of the project. This agreement also
provides initial documentation that is necessary to obtain an encroachment permit from Caltrans and to
receive their approval to move forward with construction of the project.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Northcutt and Associates ($50,000) for consulting services for developing a
final work program, preparing the Request for Proposal for the environmental document,
and coordinating the update to the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In April. 2006, Northcutt and Associates was contracted to prepare a work program and a Request for
Proposals (RFPs) for the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan (MBGP) update. This work is almost
completed and additional assistance will be required to coordinate the next phase of the process to update
the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. To continue to move forward, numerous activities are still
necessary, including coordination of the citizen participation and outreach process, consultant selection for
the MBGP, preparation of the RFP for the environmental document, and on-going coordination between
the General Plan/EIR consultants and City and County staffs. Because of the complexity and sensitivity of
these activities, expertise not available on staff is required.
The Fiscal Year 2006/07 Capital Improvement Budget includes funding of $1,000,000 for updating the
Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. This is a joint effort of the City of Bakersfield and Kern County and
is funded by collecting developer fees to offset the cost of updating and maintaining the Metropolitan
Bakersfield General Plan.

BACKGROUND:
At the same time the City entered into the Management agreement for the Arena and Convention Center

provide concession services at the Convention Center.
To be consistent with the extension of the SMG agreement, this Amendment NO.2 will extend the term of
the agreement with Aramark to June 30, 2013. In exchange for the contract extension, Aramark has
agreed to provide a full-time, on-site general manager.
Currently, Aramark pays the City 30% of the Gross Concessions Receipts from the Convention Center
and 35 to 40% of the Gross Concessions Receipts from the Arena. This amendment will increase the
percentage to 45% of the Gross Concessions Receipts which exceed $2 million.

TO:

DATE:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Alan Tandy, City Manager
March 16, 2007
APPROVED
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the attached letter as Council policy.
BACKGROUND: The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) has more money than is
normal this year due to the passage of the State bond issues.
It is possible that projects with environmental approval, such as the Westside Parkway, can get more
money that the normal funding cycle allows.
At the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) meeting of March 15, 2007, the Board of Directors
approved submittal to the CTC (California Transportation Commission) of a package of projects that
includes $170 million for the Westside Parkway. Combined with what has already been reserved, that is
full funding.
Because the increase in funds, or potential windfall, is an advance which comes out of future STIP
allocations, it was necessary to provide assurance of cooperation with the Kern COG members about
future allocations in order to bring about approval of the plan to go after the $170 million.
The attached letter from the City Manager to the Kern COG Board was a product of negotiations that was
formulated and assisted by Vice Mayor Hanson and Council member Scrivner. For $114 million more
than we would normally receive, we needed to commit to moving $22.5 million in TRIP funds to the ih
Standard Road project. We also pledged to be fair in future STIP cycles by cooperating with other Kern
COG members to phase their projects with the final stages of the Westside Parkway, where applicable.
Reallocating the $22.5 million to obtain $114 million is a deal staff would recommend anytime! If the
windfall is not received, the $22.5 million does not require reallocation.
This is a great effort to get full funding and a very strong act of cooperation among all Kern COG
members. After this action, we need to dedicate our efforts to obtaining CTC approval.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Pam McCarthy, City Clerk has requested the reclassification of the Secretary II position in her office to
Deputy City Clerk
Historically, this position has been classified as a Deputy City Clerk. However, due to staffing changes,
this position was filled with a Secretary II. The incumbent has been performing Deputy City Clerk duties
for the past two years. These duties include preparation of City Council hearings, City Council referrals,
and City Council agendas and minutes. This Secretary 1\ also attends City Council meetings and
administrative hearings when assigned. In addition, the incumbent is currently attending technical
training/education classes as a public official in order to obtain a Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC)
certification.
There will be no budgetary impact as the Secretary II salary level is equivalent to Deputy City Clerk. Alan
Tandy, City Manager and Javier Lozano, Human Resources Manager both have approved this action.
The reclassification will be presented to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their March 20, 2007
meeting.

SUBJECT: Hearing to consider a Resolution approving and adopting an adjusted fee for the
development and improvement of parks within the City of Bakersfield (Proposed 3.3%
increase based upon Construction Cost Index) (All Wards).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: In accordance with Section 15.82.060 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the following
is the Public Works Director's annual report to the City Council with updated, new, or additional
information regarding the fee amount collected for the development of parks within the City. Staff
recommends increasing the current $1,510 per dwelling unit fee to $1,560 per dwelling unit (3.3%
increase). This increase is based entirely on the rise in the Construction Cost Index (CCI). Parks staff
has reviewed the cost components of the park development fee, and other than the CCI, no other changes
are recommended.
The park development fee was last adjusted in March, 2006.
Informational notices were mailed to the Building Industry Association (BIA), American Institute of
Architects, and North Bakersfield Recreation and Parks District.

DEPARTMENT HEAD
FROM: Nelson Smith, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Fees & Charges Pursuant to the Cost Recovery System.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution following the Public Hearing.
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.
The City's review process includes a complete and thorough review of all fees every two years to
check assumptions for labor costs, materials usage, etc. Every other year staff proposes fees to be
increased by a standard Consumer Price Index (CPI) factor. Staff last performed the complete
review in 2005 and Council adopted the recommended fee changes at the July 20, 2005 Council
meeting.
During the last comprehensive review process (July 2005), Public Works staff identified eleven fees
warranting a fee increase greater than the CPI factor. Comments were received by the Building
Industry Association regarding these fees. After reviewing each of the eleven fees individually, the
Budget and Finance Committee recommended to leave the following six fees at their current level
until further analysis: Final Tract Maps, Grading Plan Review, Lot Line Adjustment I Owner Initiated
Parcel Merger, Parcel Map Wavier, Right of Way Vacation, and Street Encroachment Permit.
Increases to the six fees listed above are included in this proposed Master Fee Schedule.
Development related fees have been reviewed by the Home Builder's Association, formerly know as
the Building Industry Association (BIA), and they have taken a neutral position on the proposed fee
increases. The Development Services Department is proposing some new fees to recover costs for
services currently funded by the General Fund.
The following is a summary of restructured fees, adjustments to existing fees over the CPI Index for
2006 (4%), and new fees being proposed.
