located in the Central Traffic District are entitled to a reduction in off-street parking requirements.

Resolutions
Item 12}. Resolution to Set the Dates of the Recular City Council Meetinos. Budcet Hearinas. and
Deoartment Presentations from Januarv throuch December 2008. All meetings will be held in the Council
Chambers.
Item 12/, Resolution of Suooort for Bakersfield Association for Retarded Citizens (BARC) to AODlv for
California Deoartment of Conservation (DOC) Beverace Container Market Develooment Grant Reauest.
The Bakersfield Association for Retarded Citizens (BARC) was invited to submit a grant request for a
Department of Conservation (DOC) Beverage Container Market Development Grant in the amount of $1.5
million. BARC plans to use the grant funds to purchase equipment to produce plastic materials, purchase
recycled plastic bottles from material recovery facilities as a feedstock for the processing line, and to sell the
raw material to a plastic pipe manufacturing company in Bakersfield. BARC's request to apply for these
funds will benefit the City by providing a new manufacturing vendor to use recyclables locally, save diesel
fuel, reduce shipping miles, and reduce carbon and air emissions.
While the BARC grant proposal is complementary to City recycling efforts, it could reduce the possibility that
the City would receive its full grant funding, since both grants come from the same source. Therefore, the
resolution indicates a priority for funding the City's grant before BARC's in order to achieve the goals set
forth in BARC's proposal.
Aareements
Item 12r. Aoreement with the State of California DeDartment of TransDortation (Caltrans) to Construct a
New Interchanoe on State Route 178 at Morninc Drive and Extend State Route 178 as a Four-Lane

March 6, 2002 Council Meeting, City Council approved the purchase of one tractor-drawn aerial truck and
one 1500 GPM Fire Pumper Engine from South Coast Fire Equipment Company. The bid specifications
included a provision whereby the City may purchase additional units at the same per unit cost for an
additional seven years. Price adjustments due to increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and required
changes in specifications have resulted in an increase of 15.2% since 2002. Replacement of one fire engine
Agenda Highlights
Page 2
and purchase of one additional fire engine for future Fire Station #14 was included in the 2007-08 adopted
budget. The other two vehicles (one pumper engine and one aerial ladder truck) are not scheduled
replacements, but are needed due to involvement in a vehicle accident for the pumper and extensive fire
damage to the motor of the ladder truck which now requires their replacement. Due to the long lead time
associated with production and delivery of these vehicles, staff is requesting approval to place the order
now.
Item 12bb. Award Contract to Jim Burke Ford. Bakersfield for Fifteen (15) Reolacement and Six (6)
Additional Full-Size 6.400 GVW Pickuo Trucks in the amount of $319.858.52. Invitations to bid were sent to
over 100 vendors to provide twenty-one replacement and additional full-size 6,400 GVW pickup trucks for
various City departments. Five acceptable bids were received. Staff recommends awarding the contract to
Jim Burke Ford.
Miscellaneous
Item 12ft. Adootion of Citv Council Goals. An updated version of City Council Goals was submitted to the
Council and reviewed on October 24, 2007. The revisions include target dates, where applicable, as
requested by Vice-Mayor Hanson. The remaining Items are considered ongoing activities and do not
include target dates. The goals were reformatted to better identify and focus on significant Council goals
and incorporate other new major goals (such as the TRIP program, Mill Creek, etc.). Council goals provide
policy guidance to staff for budgetary and program implementation. Staff is recommending adoption of the
revised goals.
Item 12hh. Aoorooriate $5.212.159 Prooosition 1 B. State Transoortation Grant Revenue to the Public
Works DeDartment's Caoitallmorovement Budeet within the Transoortation Develooment Fund for the Allen
Road Bridee at Kern River Proiect. The bond provides $19.92 billion for various transportation projects, and
includes $1 billion for California cities to spend on local transportation priorities. This fiscal year, the City
will receive $5.2 million to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. Staff recommends that the funds be
used for the Allen Road Bridge at Kern River Project, which will extend Allen Road from north of the Kem
River to south of the Kern River. This project will go out to bid in November 2007. The anticipated
completion date is May 2009. The appropriation of these funds is required for the City to access this
Proposition 1 B funding.
ReDorts
Item 158. Resolution Aoorovine the Aoolication for a $1.500.000 California Deoartment of Conservation
Recvcline Grant and Adootion of a Plan to Imolement Universal Curbside Recvcline. The Budget and
Finance Committee considered staff's report and universal curbside recycling plan at its October 25, 2007
meeting, concerning the City's opportunity for a second $1.5 million state grant. The report indicates that a
requirement of the grant would be for the City to implement universal curbside recycling service. This would
change the basic level of trash and recycling service, which includes one refuse cart and one greenwaste
cart, to consist of three carts: refuse, greenwaste, and a blue cart for recyclables. Blue recycling carts are
currently an optional service, with an extra fee of $4 per month. If the grant is obtained, switching to
universal recycling would add $3 per month to the refuse rate for all homes receiving residential service.
Although each household would receive blue cart service every other week, households would still be able
to save and redeem their bottles and cans for cash value.
The City could implement a universal recycling program independent of participation by Kem County.
However, staff has been working with County staff and local haulers regarding a coordinated program.
County staff has indicated they would recommend a coordinated City/County recycling program to the
Board of Supervisors.
The Budget and Finance Committee voted to recommend to the Council that staff pursue the grant with the
understanding that universal recycling would be a condition of the grant. Committee Chairman Weir
expressed 'concern that a more comprehensive plan for recycling was needed, and although he was in
support of proceeding with the grant application, he requested that staff develop a more long term
Agenda Highlights
Page 3
comprehensive plan for recycling in conjunction with the County, which would include implementation
timeframes and costs. Chairman Weir also requested the creation of an add hoc City/County Committee to
review the recycling issue, be placed on the November 28th Council agenda for consideration by the
Council.

SUBJECT: First reading of an ordinance amending Section 17.06.020 (Zone Map No. 142-04) of
Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zoning from R-
1/P.U.D. (One-Family Dwelling/Planned Unit Development) to R-2 (Limited Multiple-
Family Dwelling) on two parcels totaling 106.08 acres, located at the northwest corner of
Ashe Road and Engle Road for purposes of single family residential development
(ZC # 07-1370 - Mcintosh & Associates representing Coronel, LLC c/o Santa Barbara
Capital) (Ward 6 upon annexation).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On October 4, 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 zoning from R-1/P.U.D. (One-Family Dwelling/Planned Unit Development) to R-2 (Limited
Multiple-Family Dwelling) on two parcels totaling 106.08 acres for purposes of small lot, single family
residential development. While the project sites are two separate parcels, both are under the same
ownership. The project area is designated LR (Low Density Residential) under the Metropolitan
Bakersfield General Plan. The proposed zone change will result in zoning that is compatible with the
property's Low Density Residential land use designation. The purpose for the proposed zone change is
to satisfy Condition No. 26 of VTTM 6747, and Condition No. 24 of VTTM 6750, which require the site
zoning be changed to R-2 (Limited Multiple-Family Dwelling) prior to recordation of any final map.
No one spoke in opposition to the project at the Planning Commission hearing.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 6747 and VTTM 6750, encompassing the project area, were
originally approved by the Planning Commission on June 7, 2007 (Resolution Nos. 88-07 and 90-07
respectively). The conditionally approved map 6747 consists of 199 lots, including 192 single family
residential lots, 1 sump lot and 6 landscape lots on 40.75 acres for purposes of single family
development. The conditionally approved map 6750 consists of 281 lots, including 273 single family
residential lots, 1 sump lot, 1 canal lot, and 6 landscape lots on 65.35 acres for purposes of single
family development. Condition No. 26 of VTTM 6747, and Condition No. 24 of VTTM 6750 required the
site zoning be changed to R-2 prior to recordation of any final map.

designation from R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential) on 457.06
acres and from RR (Rural Residential) to LR on 9.78 acres. The zoning was changed from A
(Agriculture Zone) to R-1 (One-Family Dwelling Zone) on 275.25 acres, from A to R-lIPUD (One-
Family Dwelling Zone/Planned Unit Development Zone) on 181.81 acres, and from R-S-20A

for this GPAlZone Change and the mitigation measures were included in the conditions of approval for
the subdivision maps.
The subject property is a portion of the Ashe #4 Annexation (Annexation #503); annexation procedures
for this subject property have not been completed.
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) an initial study was prepared for the original project which included the subject property and an
Environmental Impact Report (Ashe #4) was certified on August 16, 2006. In accordance Section
15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, no further environmental documentation is necessary because
there are no substantial changes in circumstances under which the project will be undertaken and no
new environmental impacts have been identified.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change.

(ZC # 07 -0691 - John F. May, representing Rio Bravo Valley Baptist Church) (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On October 4, 2007, the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on this zone change

the zoning from R-S-2.5 A (Residential- Suburban - 2.5 Acre Minimum) zone to a R-1-CH (Single Family
Residential- Church) zone on 7.76 acres. The applicant has requested the zone change to allow a future
church site and to allow lot sizes smaller than 2.5 acres. The site is currently undeveloped.
No one spoke in opposition to the project at the Planning Commission hearing.
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.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change.

SUBJECT:
First reading of an ordinance amending Section 17.06.020 (Zone Map No. 103-31) of
Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zoning from R-3
(Multiple-Family Dwelling - 1,250 sq ft/dwelling unit) to G-2 (Regional Commercial) on
4,600 square feet generally located on the east side of Chester Avenue, south of 2nd
Street for purposes of commercial development. (ZC #07-1114 - Porter Robertson
Engineering representing Donald and Marilyn Simpson> (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On August 2, 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 zoning from R-3 (Multiple-Family Dwelling - 1,250 sq ft/dwelling unit) to C-2 (Regional
Commercial) on 4,600 square feet for purposes of commercial development. The site is designated GC
(General Commercial) under the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. No one spoke in opposition to
the project at the Planning Commission hearing.
The applicant's reason for the proposed zone change is to facilitate the processing of lot line
adjustment which will move the property line 46 feet to the east and off of the detached garage. Lot
Line Adjustment 07-1113 was processed concurrently with this zone change. In accordance with BMC
Section 17.06.030, a lot line adjustment cannot result in a parcel with split zoning. Approval of this
request will result in two developed commercial parcels and an undeveloped multiple family parcel. The
two commercial parcels would have access off of Chester Avenue while the multiple family parcel
would have access off of K Street. Any future development would be subject to approval of a Site Plan
Review. The Site Plan Review process addresses use, setbacks, parking, landscaping and other
ordinance requirements to develop the property.
The requested zone change to Regional Commercial is compatible with surrounding land uses.
Development along Chester Avenue is characterized by small offices, retail, and non-conforming
residential uses. Residential uses including single-family dwellings and apartments are developed
along K Street. The subject residential parcel cannot be sold or developed until this lot line issue is
resolved.

SUBJECT: Ordinance amending Section 10.08.020 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code regarding the
Central Traffic District.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed amendment is to expand the boundaries of the Central Traffic District by increasing its area
by approximately 100%. Properties located in the Central Traffic District are entitled to a reduction in off-
street parking requirements. Expansion of the area is being recommended to facilitate an increase in new
downtown development and for the adaptive re-use of buildings located in this higher density environment.
Existing district boundaries are "F" Street to the west, 25th Street to the north, the BN&SF railroad tracks to
the south and "Q" Street to the east, excepting 23rd and 24th Street. The proposed boundaries are lip' to
the west, Golden State Highway to the north, "V" Street the east, and California Avenue to the south,
excepting 23rd and 24th Street, basically doubling the district area. Maps of the proposed and existing
boundaries are attached to this report.
The Central District Parking Requirement Schedule (BMC Chapter 17.58.120) addresses the downtown
area differently than the rest of the City. For example, offices, restaurants, and single family residential
users receive a fifty percent parking requirement reduction compared to locations outside the district.
These reductions are conducive to the downtown because typically employees park their cars in the
morning and can then walk to various services, such as government services, offices and restaurants
during the day.
Off-street parking requirements for an individual building may be correspondingly reduced by sharing the
total off-street parking supply in the area with other buildings and users. The required number of parking
stalls may be reduced by fifty percent for any commercial facility which operates only after 5:00 p.m.
reduction.
Overall, boundary expansion encourages a walkable downtown while accommodating a diverse mix of
users choosing to locate in the higher densities of downtown Bakersfield.

SUBJECT: Adoption of ordinances relating to the Building and Construction codes, specifically the
California Building Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Electrical Code, Existing
Building Code, and Historical Building Code:
1. An Ordinance deleting sections 15.12, 15.16, 15.28, 15.32 and 15.48.
2. An Ordinance amending section 15.04 and adding sections 15.05, 15.07, 15.09,
15.11, 15.13 and 15.15.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of ordinances.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on October 24,2007.
The State of California recently adopted new versions of the California Building Code (CBC),
Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Electrical Code and added a new California Existing Code and
Historical Building Code. This is the first time this has happened in nearly ten years. The usual code
adoption cycle is once every three years and occurs after the publication of the new national model
codes. However, it has been delayed for the last two cycles because of the decision to adopt the 2006
International Building Code (IBC). The new version of the CBC is now based on the IBC and replaces
the 2001 CBC version which was based on the 1997 Uniform Building Code.
State law requires that the City of Bakersfield adopt these codes by January 1, 2008. State law also
allows the City of Bakersfield to make these Codes more restrictive as long as such restrictions are
based on climatological, geological, and/or topographical reasons.
The changes to the Codes were technical and substantial. Therefore, for clarity and ease, it was
determined that we should repeal our current code sections (15.12, 15.16, 15.28, 15.32 and 15.48). In
addition we need to amend section 15.04 to reflect minor changes and finally, we need to add sections
15.05 15.07, 15.09, 15.11, 15.13 and 15.15.
The City is using this opportunity to also modify our ordinance with respect to grading. The changes
respective to grading are designed to prevent some of the problems that the City is currently
encountering (Le. grading without a permit; major deviations from approved plans; re-directing drainage
flows without review; and not implementing necessary erosion control measures, or "BMP's"). The new
grading provisions are based on other city ordinances.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
City staff has met with the Home Builders Association and the local chapter of the American Society of
Civil Engineers about the adoption of the new codes and the corresponding grading modifications.
Staff has received minimal comments and the few comments received have been about the timing of
enforcement regarding residential development. In November, staff will conduct a series of ten classes
regarding the code changes. These classes will educate local architects, contractors and homeowners
about the changes to the code.

SUBJECT: Adoption of ordinances relating to the California Fire Code:
1. An Ordinance deleting section 15.64.
2. An Ordinance adding section 15.65
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinances.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California recently adopted a new version of the California Fire Code (CFC). The new
version of the code was based on the 2006 International Code.
State law requires that the City of Bakersfield adopt the CFC by January 1, 2008. State law also
allows the City of Bakersfield to make the CFC more restrictive as long as such restrictions are based on
climatological, geological, and/or topographical reasons.
The changes to the Codes were technical and substantial. Therefore, for clarity and ease, it was
determined that we should repeal our current code section 15.64 and add a new section, 15.65. The City
is using this opportunity to increase the penalty for violation of the CFC from $1,000 to $1,500.
In order to be in compliance with state law, staff recommends adoption of the ordinances. Both
ordinances had first reading on October 24,2007.

SUBJECT: A Resolution of the Council of the City of Bakersfield Dedicating Public Right-Of -Way for a
Portion of Red Leaf Way Located West of Rivani Drive (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield has purchased a park site in northeast Bakersfield south of
Paladino Drive, off of Rivani Drive between Morning Drive and Vineland Road. Red Leaf Way is a local
street that abuts the park site. The east half of this road will be dedicated to the City of Bakersfield with
the completion of the adjacent tract. Because the centerline of the street is the boundary of the City park
parcel, the west half of Red Leaf Way will not be dedicated to the City in the normal manner. In these
circumstances, the road is "dedicated" through a Resolution of the Council.
This Resolution will designate Red Leaf Way within the boundary of the park parcel as public road right-of-
way.

SUBJECT: Resolution of support for Bakersfield Association for Retarded Citizens (BARC) to apply for
a California Department of Conservation (DOC) Beverage Container Market Development
Grant request (Various WardS)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND: The Bakersfield Association for Retarded Citizens (BARC) has been invited to submit a
grant request for a Department of Conservation (DOC) Beverage Container Market Development Grant in
the amount of $1.5 million. BARC plans to use the grant funds to purchase equipment to produce plastic
materials from recycled plastic containers. BARC plans to purchase recycled plastic bottles from material
recovery facilities (MRFs) in the San Joaquin Valley and Tehachapi as a feedstock for the processing line.
BARC plans to sell the raw material to a plastic pipe manufacturing company in Bakersfield.
MRFs in the San Joaquin Valley currently ship recycled plastic bottles to the ports in Los Angeles, for
export to China. Using these recycled plastic beverage containers and processing them at BARC for local
manufacturing will reduce shipping miles. This saves diesel fuel, reduces air emissions and reduces
carbon emissions. Also, a local source for plastic material will benefit the local manufacturing company
BARC has identified. The company now purchases this material from a supplier in Los Angeles.
Purchasing locally will save freight charges and further reduce air impact.
The City has also been invited to submit a grant request for the same DOC Beverage Container Market
Development Grant in the amount of $1.5 million. The City plans to use this money for equipment to sort
household recyclables. BARC's request to apply for these funds may benefit the City by providing the
City with a new manufacturing vendor to use recyclables locally. This is exactly the kind of "closed loop"
recycling infrastructure the DOC tends to support. On the other hand, since these funds are coming from
the same source, supporting BARC to pursue this grant could decrease the City's odds of receiving the
grant. City support of the BARC resolution accordingly reflects prioritization of our grant request over
BARC's.
Since BARC is a non-profit organization, it must have a resolution from a local government supporting the
grant application. BARC has submitted the attached correspondence as a request for City support.
BARC is planning to request a similar resolution from the County.

SUBJECT: Resolution adding the following territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District and
confirming the assessments, approving the Public Works Director's Report and authorizing
collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector. (Ward 5)
1. Area 3-75 (Buena Vista, Taft Highway NE)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On October 24, 2007 the Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1567 to add the
above territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by Section 13.04.021 of the Municipal
Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of parks and/or
street landscaping. The area will be under park and/or streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned
the appropriate tier levels when parks and/or street landscaping have been installed.
The addition of this territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property described above which waives
the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to
expedite the maintenance district process, to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The owner also has
submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating their consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1570 to order the vacation of a 20-foot Alley in Block 47 at the
southeast corner of Stockton Street and Monterey Street. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The property owner, Pace Diversified Corporation, has requested the vacation of the alley to the north of
the address 1114 Stockton Street. The alley is located at the corner of Monterey Street and Stockton
Street. The property is being developed as a warehouse and work area. The owner wants to build a
fence to stop illegal dumping and vandalism and is willing to keep the alley as a utility easement.
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 storm drain facilities in the vacating area.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. Pacific Gas and Electric Company has
a gas line and an electrical power line in the alley. The City of Bakersfield has a 6" sewer line in the alley.
A 20-Foot wide easement over the vacated area is being reserved for public utilities.
Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 foot radius of the
proposed vacating area. Public Works has received no objections from these owners as of the date of this
report.
The proposed vacation was approved by the Planning Department on October 24, 2007 per local
ordinance 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.
This Resolution sets the Public Hearing date for the regular Council meeting of December 12, 2007, on
the proposed vacation.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order #3 to Contract No. 06-346 with Kern County Construction, Inc. in the amount of
$20,937.00, revised and not to exceed $432,853.00, for removal and disposal of miscellaneous debris and
installation of site improvements for water well site CBK-46 located at 8217 Stonecrest Way in the vicinity of
Mountain Ridge Drive and McCutchen Road. (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of Contract Change Order #3.
BACKGROUND: The CBK 46 well site as purchased from K B Homes included a drive approach for each of the 2
lots. The existing drive approaches could not be incorporated into the well site designs, requiring removal and
replacement of the concrete to fit the well site facilities including the installation of a commercial type drive approach.
This well site remained vacant between the time the well was drilled and the award of the contract for construction of
the pump house facilities. Illegal dumping of various leftover construction materials were found on the site after bid
award. This was not a part of the contract agreement and constituted a change order necessary for clean up of the
obstacles on site in order to facilitate construction.
This project will bring one new domestic water well into operational status adding needed capacity and pressure to
the City of Bakersfield's expanding southwest side of town. The project will include construction of (1) concrete block
pumphouse, installation of (1) Deepwell Turbine Pump and motor, (1) panel board, and miscellaneous piping and
appurtenances for Ashe Water Well CBK-46.

SUBJECT: Purchase of One (1) Aerial Ladder Fire Truck and Three (3) Fire Pumper Engines:
1. Extend bid with South Coast Fire Equipment Company for the replacement of one (1) Fire
Aerial Ladder Truck ($766,412.37) ; the replacement of two (2) Fire Pumper Engines and the
purchase of one (1) additional Fire Pumper Engine for future Fire Station # 14 (each pumper
engine is $464,732.43; times 3 engines = $1,394,197.29) for a total cost of $2,160,609.66 ;
2. Appropriate and Transfer $352,340 Self Insurance Fund Balance to the Equipment
Management Fund toward replacement of the damaged Aerial Ladder Truck and replacement
of the damaged Pumper Engine;
3. Appropriate $878,820 Equipment Management Fund Balance toward replacement of the
damaged Aerial Ladder Truck and the damaged Pumper Engine.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the bid extension and related appropriations and transfers.
BACKGROUND:
At the Council meeting of March 6, 2002, City Council approved the purchase of one (1) tractor-drawn
aerial truck ($648,249.03) and one (1) 1500 GPM Fire Pumper Engine ($388,843.46) from South Coast
Fire Equipment. The bid specifications included a provision whereby the City may purchase additional
units at the same per unit cost for an additional seven (7) years, with price adjustments due to increases in
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and to account for modifications to specifications to comply with changes
to State and Federal codes. Increases to the CPI and required changes in specifications have resulted in
a cumulative increase of 15.2% since 2002.
The 2007-08 adopted budget included funding to replace one (1) fire engine and to purchase one (1)
additional fire engine for future fire station # 14. Due to the long lead time associated with production and
delivery of these vehicles, we are requesting approval to place the order for the new fire engine in
anticipation of the construction of Fire Station # 14.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The other two vehicles being requested (one (1) pumper engine and one (1) aerial ladder truck) are not
"scheduled" replacements as they have not been in service for their normal useful life. One of the vehicles
was damaged in a vehicular accident and the other vehicle had extensive fire damage to the motor and
has had ongoing maintenance and repair issues. The Fleet Division is recommending that both of these
vehicles be retired from the fleet and sold at auction.
We are recommending that the replacement cost funds that have been set aside to date for these vehicles
be appropriated for their replacements within the Equipment Fund with the remainder of funds necessary
to replace these two vehicles come from the Self Insurance Fund.

SUBJECT: City Council Goals
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of City Council Goals.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is the updated version of City Council Goals which were submitted to the Council and reviewed
on October 24,2007. They have been revised to include target dates (shown in bold) where applicable as
requested by Vice-Mayor Hanson. The remaining Items are considered ongoing activities and do not
include target dates. The goals have been reformatted to better identify and focus on significant Council
goals and incorporate other new major goals (such as the TRIP program, Mill Creek, etc.). The new
format also identifies the targeted actions which support the completion of the goals. The updated goals
list has been streamlined to remove those items which have been completed, were duplicative or were
included within other goals, or were no longer relevant. Additionally, a review was done to relocate some
items which were common among several goals (such as pursuit of grant funding) to the "Guiding
Principles" section to eliminate duplication among goals. The goals have been reviewed and discussed
with the Department Heads, who have contributed to the update and changes.
There are two documents included with this administrative report. The first is a summary which shows just
the major goals. The second includes the goals with the Target Actions and Guiding Principles.
Council goals provide policy guidance to staff for budgetary and program implementation. The Council
may choose to further update these goals in the future as needed or make additional modifications as
items are completed.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $5,212,159 Proposition 1 B, State Transportation Grant Revenue, to the Public
Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the Transportation Development
Fund for the Allen Road Bridge at Kern River Project (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND: Proposition 1 B, the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality and Port Security Act
of 2006, passed last November. The bond, part of a $40 billion infrastructure bond package, provides
$19.92 billion for various transportation projects to rebuild California, and in particular includes $1 billion
for California cities to spend on local transportation priorities. This fiscal year, cities will receive $550
million of these funds. The remaining $450 million of these funds will be available to cities upon future
appropriations in the state budget process and will require support from both the Governor and the
Legislature.
The City of Bakersfield will receive $5,212,159 of the $550 million in bond money from Proposition 1 B for
local transportation projects that the city will put to use immediately to reduce congestion and improve
traffic flow. In order to warrant further appropriations of the bonds, the League of California Cities
recommends that cities utilize the bond funds prudently and expeditiously. In addition, the State
Department of Finance requested that cities and counties remain cognizant of the fact that these are bond
monies and useful life should be considered for prudent use of the funds. Therefore, staff reviewed
various potential projects for project readiness. Staff recommends that the $5.2 million be used for the
Allen Road Bridge at Kern River Project, a project with an estimated useful life of 50 years. This project
will go out to bid in November 2007. The anticipated completion date is May 2009.
The Allen Road Bridge at Kern River project will extend Allen Road from north of the Kern River to south
of the Kern River. This major thoroughfare will be a critical component of the City's transportation
network.
The City of Bakersfield's share of the remaining $450 million is $4,904,955. As noted earlier, receipt of
these funds is contingent upon future appropriations in the state budget process. When these funds
become available, staff will recommend to the City Council that these monies also be used for the Allen
Road Bridge at Kern River project.
The use of Proposition 1 B funds for the Allen Road Bridge at Kern River project will free up traffic impact
fee revenue for use on other high priority projects such as the Westside Parkway and the Hosking
Interchange.

unit of the Bakersfield Police Department.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Police Department is a member of a multi-jurisdictional task force known as the Kern Narcotics
Enforcement Team (K.N.E.T.). KN.E.T. is a specialized unit, partially funded by the Anti-Drug Abuse (ADA)
Grant administered by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES), whose primary focus is identifying, and
arresting street level and mid-level narcotic traffickers, in addition to drug abusers. KNET is assigned to the
Bakersfield Police Department ViceINarcotics Unit.
The KN.E.T. task force is governed by a Steering Committee consisting of the department heads of the Kern County
District Attorney's Office, the Kern County Sheriff's Department, the Kern County Probation Department, the
Bakersfield Police Department, and a representative ofthe eight other Kern County Police Departments.
Any asset forfeiture funds obtained through the operations ofKN.E.T. are placed in a trust account (maintained by
the City of Bakersfield) to provide for the non-grant funded operational and equipment needs of the task force in the
furtherance of grant activity. The distribution of asset forfeiture funds for the purchase of such operational and
equipment needs are subject to approval by the KN.E.T. Steering Committee.
The Steering Committee ofthe K.N.E.T. task force has approved the use of asset forfeiture funds for the purpose of
purchasing seven (7) GPS navigation units and seven (7) tactical load bearing vests for the members ofKN.E.T.
The equipment will be purchased through the Bakersfield Police Department's General Fund Operating Budget, and
the City will be reimbursed from the K.N.E.T. Asset Forfeiture Trust Account.

October 25, 2007
SUBJECT: Resolution approving the application for a $1,500,000 California Department of
Conservation recycling grant and adoption of a plan to implement universal curbside
recycling (all wards).
RECOMMENDATION: The Budget and Finance Committee recommends approval of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
History of curbside recycling in Bakersfield
In compliance with the state 50% recycling mandate, Bakersfield has implemented several types of
recycling programs since the mid-1990s. Throughout this process, Bakersfield has chosen programs
which give the "best bang for the buck". Curbside recycling is rather costly compared to other
programs, and has thus not been implemented citywide. This strategy was consistent with the results
of a public opinion survey in 2000, which indicated that although most residents wanted to use
curbside recycling, most did not want to pay additional trash fees for it. Thus, the City implemented a
voluntary blue cart program for those who choose to pay to use it. Unfortunately, the cost of the
program was a deterrent, and only about 4% of the households chose to do so in 2003-2006. To
boost participation, the City significantly reduced the monthly fee (from $6.67 down to $4.00) with a
small subsidy from refuse fees in July 2007. The incentive has recently increased participation to 5%
of the households. At the same time, the City has been seeking grants to reduce the cost so
participation would increase. The City received a $1,500,000 state grant in 2006, and has made the
second round for another $1,500,000 grant in 2007. The grants are intended to help the Kern County
unincorporated area in metropolitan Bakersfield in the same way. At joint City/County meetings in
2006 and 2007, elected leaders have expressed interest in going ahead with universal curbside if the
cost is reduced by grants.
Future of curbside recycling
The Budget and Finance Committee considered the attached report and universal curbside recycling
plan at its October 25, 2007 meeting, concerning the City's opportunity for a second $1,500,000 state
grant. The report indicates that a requirement of the grant would be for the City to implement
universal curbside recycling service. This would change the basic level of trash and recycling service,
which includes one refuse cart and one greenwaste cart, to consist of three carts: refuse, greenwaste,
and a blue cart for recyclables. The new level of service would increase basic refuse rates by $3 per
month, or $36 per year, which is 20.7% more than the current rate of $174.48 per year. The new rate
S:\JOHN\Curbside Recycling Grant Application_3.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
would be considered at a public hearing in June 2008. If approved, the program would begin
implementation in late 2009. The grant proposal will also indicate that the City would not be obligated
to implement universal curbside recycling unless adopted at that public hearing and pending award of
the grant by the state. Also, because of the potential for pending legislation to require a higher level
of recycling than curbside can achieve, the City's proposal will also reserve the right to forego
curbside recycling if a different recycling plan is necessitated by new legislation prior to actual
implementation of curbside recycling.
Blue recycling carts are currently an optional service, with an extra fee of $4 per month. If the grant is
obtained, switching to universal recycling would reduce the fee to $3 per month. The impact of the
new fee would be reduced by half, or $1.50 per month, for qualifying senior citizens who normally
receive a 50% rebate on their refuse rates. Although each household would receive blue cart service
every other week, households would still be able to save and redeem their bottles and cans for cash
value, as many people do. The blue carts would handle all the paper, boxes, plastic, metal, and glass
that residents choose not to recycle on their own.
The City could implement a universal recycling program independent of participation by Kern County.
However, staff has been working with County staff and local haulers regarding a coordinated program.
County staff has indicated they would recommend a coordinated City/County recycling program to the
Board of Supervisors. This would be consistent with past requests by members of the Board of
Supervisors at joint City/County meetings.
The Budget and Finance Committee reviewed the report presented by staff and voted to recommend
to the Council that staff pursue the grant with the understanding that universal recycling would be a
condition of the grant. Committee Chairman Weir expressed concern that a more comprehensive
plan for recycling was needed, and although he was in support of proceeding with the grant
application, he requested that staff develop a more long term comprehensive plan for recycling in
conjunction with the County, which would include implementation timeframes and costs. He also
requested that the creation of an ad hoc joint City/County committee to review the recycling issue be
placed on the November 28th City Council agenda for consideration by the Council. Councilmember
Carson also expressed support for proceeding with the grant, but expressed concerns regarding the
cost of the universal recycling program. She asked that staff review any possible ways to reduce
costs for the program.
