Ordinances
Item 12c. First Reading of an Ordinance Adding to the Municipal Code the Use of Amplified Sound by
Ice Cream Vendors. Councilmember Schrivner requested staff prepare an ordinance clarifying the
regulations concerning the use of amplified sound by ice cream vendors. On June 16, 2008, the
Legislative and Litigation Committee members raised concerns about the difficulty of enforcing a law
without specific time limits, and suggested that the ordinance should account for the longer hours of
daylight during the peak summer season. The proposed ordinance includes dates and times to reflect
the directions of the Committee majority.
Items 12d. First Reading of an Ordinance A,pendino the Municipal Code Relatin4 to the .Keen
Bakersfield Beautiful Committee. On April 29, 2008, Mayor Hall asked the Legislative and Litigation
Committee to consider revising the Municipal Code to add the appointment of alternate members to the
Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee (KBBC). These alternates would be allowed to vote in place of
their corresponding appointed members, and their terms would reflect the same as that of the KBBC
member's appointed term. The Legislative and Litigation Committee discussed the matter on June 16,
2008, at which time Councilmember Couch raised concerns about keeping qualified people on the KBBC
should their nominating Councilmember leave mid-term. He recommended the term of a KBBC member
should continue until the term of the nominating Councilmember is complete. The ordinance reflects
these revisions.
staff was directed to pursue a proposed ordinance amendment and forward it to the Planning
Commission for public hearing consideration and approval. The proposed amendments included parking
definitions and restrictions, building structures, provisions for motorcycle parking, mixed use parking, and
other areas of interest as described in the administrative report.
With recent efforts to encourage walkability, mixed-use development and more efficient use of resources,
the proposed changes recognize increased application of the City's share parking model, use of street
and tandem parking (where available), and proximity to transit. A number of other recommendations are
items that staff has identified over the years through working with the ordinance that will improve clarity
and functionality in applying the standards.
Resolutions
Item 12I. Resolution Approvin4 the Application for Grant Funds for a Local Levee Evaluation Project
Under Proposition 84. The Local Levee Assistance Program makes .funds available statewide to
reimburse local public agencies for up to 50% of the cost for critical repairs and evaluations of local
levees. The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is
currently in the process of producing a countywide flood insurance report and Digital Flood Insurance
Rate Maps for Kern County. As part of this process FEMA determined that sections of the Kem River
Levee system through Bakersfield require documentation to show these levees meet the criteria of the
federal regulations. Without this documentation, these areas previously accredited with providing flood
protection may lose this designation. To confirm and maintain this accreditation the City entered into the
Provisionally Accredited Levee Program, under which the City has until July 22, 2009 to provide the
required documentation. Under the grant program, the City could receive $341,550 or up to 50% of the
total cost ($683,102) to offset the costs to comply with the FEMA regulations.
Agreements
Item 12k. Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans to Widen Rosedale Highway between State Route 99
and State Route 43. The cooperative agreement outlines the responsibilities of both the City and
Caltrans regarding development of this TRIP project, and is necessary to complete the Environmental
Document for the project.
Item 121. Amendment No.1 to Cooperative Agreement No. 05-375 with Caltrans for the 24`h Street
(State Route 178) and Oak Street Interchange Project. Caltrans and the City entered into a Cooperative
Agreement on November 9, 2005 to define responsibilities for this TRIP project. This portion of SR 178
was included in Assembly Bill 1858 which provided for the relinquishment of this portion of the highway
from Caltrans to the City. This Amended Cooperative Agreement will transfer the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) lead agency status from Caltrans to the City consistent with the
proposed relinquishment. In addition, the Amended Agreement will transfer the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) oversight from the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) to Caltrans as provided
for in the Legislation.
Ifem 12m. Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 03-215 with Michael Brandman and Associates for the
Preparation of Environmental Impact Reports for General Plan Amendment and Zone Chance for the
Canyons in the amount of $183.905. This additional amount for the EIR consultant was deposited by
the applicant, General Holdings. Additional funds from the developer were needed due to the increasing
complexity of preparation and circulation of the EIR, and responses to public comments. Currently, the
funds are adequate to cover City administrative costs. No City funding is required for this contract.
Bids
Item 12u. Award Contract to Golden State Peterbilt for a Refuse TrucK for the 50110 waste uivision m
the amount of $235,945.77. Over 200 suppliers were invited to bid to provide one additional LNG
powered four axle front-loading automated refuse truck. Three bids were received, one of which was
unacceptable, as noted in the administrative report. As it takes 9 to 10 months to acquire this type of
vehicle, it is important to order it now to maintain adequate service levels over the next two years. Staff
recommends awarding the contract to Golden State Peterbilt.
Item 12w. Award Contract to Maverick Asphalt Inc. for Full Depth Reclamation of Existing Roadway on
$1,525.525. The reclamation process reconstructs the existing pavement, and includes striping,
pavement markings, modification of access ramps, and traffic signal detector loops. Three bids were
received. Staff recommends awarding the contract to Maverick Asphalt, Inc. Bids exceeded the
engineer's estimate of $1,279,000 due to escalating prices of asphalt concrete, so additional
appropriations from the Federal Surface Transportation Funds and Gas Tax Fund Balance are
recommended

Item 12x. Award Contract to Floyd Johnston Construction Company for Installation of Water Pipeline
along Coffee Road between Granite Falls Way and Meanv Avenue in the amount of $531.914. The
installation of 2,630 feet of 18" water pipeline will connect to the City's distribution network at Granite
Falls Way and tie-in to the Kem County Water Agency Distribution pipeline at Meany Avenue, allowing
the City to receive 6,500 acre fee# of treated water annually. Five bids were received for this project.
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Floyd Johnston Construction Company.

Item 15a. Report on the City of Bakersfield Website. Information Technology Director, Bob Trammell,
will provide an update on the various features available on the City's website.

Director Dianne Hoover will present an analysis of the Park Provision Program which authorizes
collection of fees for the land acquisition and development of City Parks.

SUBJECT: First Reading of Ordinance Relating to Use of Amplified Sound by Ice Cream Vendors
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends First Reading of the proposed ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
In response to a citizen complaint, Councilmember Scrivner requested staff prepare an ordinance
clarifying the regulations concerning the use of amplified sound by ice cream vendors. Staff prepared an
ordinance for the June 16'h meeting of the Legislation and Litigation committee specifying limits on
amplified sound of between 8:00 a.m. to one hour before sunset Monday through Saturday, and 10:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays.
Committee members raised concerns about the difficulty of enforcing a law without specific time
limits, and it was suggested that the ordinance should account for the longer hours of daylight during the
peak summer season. Staff prepared the attached ordinance reflecting the directions of the committee
majority (with Councilmember Sullivan abstaining) that amplified sound may only be used from:
• 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays
• 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. from May 1st through September, Monday through Saturday
• 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from October 1st through April on Mondays through Saturday.

SUBJECT: First Reading of Ordinance amending Bakersfield Municipal Code ("BMC") Chapter 2.62,
Sections 2.62.020 and 2.62.030, relating to Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends First Reading of all proposed ordinance revisions.
BACKGROUND:
On April 29, 2008, Mayor Hall made a referral to the Legislative and Litigation Committee
requesting that the Committee consider revising the Bakersfield Municipal Code to add the appointment of
alternate committee members to the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee (KBBC). Specifically, Mayor
Hall requested that the Committee consider the following three revisions to the code: 1) to allow each
Councilmember and the Mayor to appoint one alternate member to KBBC; 2) to allow said alternate
committee members to vote in place of their corresponding appointed committee members; and 3) to
reflect the term limit of an alternate to be the same as that of the committee member's appointment terms.
Staff prepared ared-line strike-out version of the current ordinance accomplishing the three items that
Mayor Hall suggested as part of his referral at the regular June 16'h meeting of the Legislation and
Litigation Committee.
During the meeting, the Committee discussed when the terms of KBBC members (both sitting and
alternates) should expire. Councilmember Couch raised concerns about keeping qualified people on the
KBBC should their nominating Councilmember leave mid term. Councilmember Couch opined that the
term of a KBBC member should continue until the term of the nominating Councilmember finished. The
Committee unanimously agreed and directed the City Attorney to clarify that portion of the ordinance for
first reading.

Chapter 17.58 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code related to parking standards and requirements.
(All wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission unanimously approved forwarding this ordinance to the City Council for adoption at
their meeting of June 5, 2008.
On December 12, 2007, the Development Services Director conducted a workshop concerning implementation
of sustainable development measures to the City Council that included mixed-use development, walkability, and
urban form design. As part of that presentation, specific issues related to amending the Citys parking
regulations were noted.
The parking issues were refen'ed to the Council's Legislative and Litigation Committee for further discussion. At
their February 8, 2008 meeting, staff provided an overview of the existing parking regulations and identified a
number of issues for consideration by the Committee. The Committee directed staff to pursue incorporating
stafFs recommendations into a proposed ordinance amendment, and forward them to the Planning Commission
to hold a public hearing for consideration and approval.
Proposed Orclinance Amendments:
The citys current parking regulations were last comprehensively reviewed in 1990. Since that time, staff has not
only identified items that need to be addressed to reflect current trends, but also examined how much parking is
necessary for specific uses and identified opportunities to increase flexibility in application of the standards. The
proposed changes clarify a number of functional details but also look at ways to use land more efficientiyvrithout
compromising parking resources and adversely impacting businesses or public safety. The major changes to
the ordinance are summarized below:
A purpose section was added to clarify the intent of the chapter and basis for the regulations.
Parking definitions were moved to Chapter 17.04 of the Zoning Ordinance, Definitions. Staff has
over time been moving all definitions into this chapterfor easier reference.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
page 2
• The definitions of "gross" floor area and "conditioned" floor area were amended making it clear
that gross covers the entire building area whereas conditioned covers those areas not heated
such as stair wells, elevator shafts, mechanical rooms, etc.
• Included provisions for motorcycle parking (allows areas too small for conventional parking stalls
to be used for motorcycles).
• Clearly set forth how parking is calculated for uses with legal non-conforming parking.
• Allow a 10% reduction of parking if within walking distance of a transit facility. Walking distance
is generally defined as how far an average person can walk in 5 minutes, which is between 1,000
feet and'/ mile. Our regulations already reference 1,000-feet so this distance is used.
• Restrict use of parking lots for storing and selling merchandise.
• Require parking lots to be partially screened from streets if they have more than 10 stalls along a
street (this standard is already in place in the Riveriakes Specific Plan area).
• Encourage shared parking for mixed-use projects; use the citys share parking model for mixed-
useand large retail projects.
• Grant parking credit along local street frontages, where such parking is allowed (parking along
collector streets will be at the discretion of the Traffic Engineer).
• Allow single family and small multiple family projects of 2 to 4 units use of tandem parking.
• Provide low income projects the ability to reduce parking by 25%.
• Establish a maximum parking level that will lessen the likelihood of creating large areas of
unused (or unneeded) parking areas, which will also reduce the heat island effect.
• Reduce parking requirements in the "Central District" (downtown) and properties zoned C-C and
C-B (mixed-use zones) by 50% for all uses. This reduction currently applies to some uses such
as offices and restaurants but not to retail. Since the city is promoting mixed use development
where people may live, work, and/or visit multiple businesses, this reduction should apply for all
uses within those defined areas. These areas will also have the highest transit use, which will
lessen demand for vehicle parking.
Staff compared the citys cun'ent parking ratios with other similar sized cities and Kem County,
and also visited projects with uses where proposed changes are recommended. Some of the
ratios are currently much higher than these other jurisdictions (eg. medical uses are 1'/z times
above what many other cities require). As a result, adjustments are being proposed based on
actual conditions and average ratios in use by other communities. Additionally, staff has
proposed new use ratios where parking was previously established by policy.
This project has been found to be exempt from the provisions of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City of Bakersfield's CEQA Implementation Procedures. Under the general rule of CEQA in
accordance with Section 15061 (b) (3), it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of
the proposed ordinance will have a significant affect on the environment.
Since it affects properties citywide, public notice for the proposed project and environmental determination was
provided by a 1/8th page display advertisement in the Bakersfield Californian and posted on the bulletin board in
the City of Bakersfield Development Services Building; 1715 Chester Avenue; Bakersfield, Califomia. Notice
and a copy of the draft amendments was also sent to approximately 30 building industry developers, architects,
and engineers, including the Kem Home Builders Association (HBA).

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Conclusion:
page 3
It has been over 15 years since staff has taken a comprehensive look at the parking regulations. Although
parking is an important component of any development, it is necessary to periodically review requirements to
ensure that a balance is maintained between demand and minimum standards so that land is efficiently utilized.
That balance also needs to recognize such factors as impacts to adjacent uses, traffic circulation, public safety,
and the environment. For example, having too much parking space further contributes to the "heat island" effect;
not enough parking results in patrons using neighboring parking lots or blocking street traffic with illegal parking
(ie. double-parking).
With recent efforts to encourage walkability, mixed-use development and more efficient use of resources, the
proposed changes recognize increased application of the citys share parking model, use of street and tandem
parking (where available), and proximity to transit. A number of other recommendations are items that staff has
identified over the years through working with the ordinance that will improve clarity and functionality in applying
the standards. Overall, the proposed changes are an improvement to the regulations and staff recommends
adoption of the orclinance.

SUBJECT: Resolution of the Council of the City of Bakersfield approving the application for grant
funds for a local levee evaluation project under Proposition 84. (Wards 2, 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In November 2006, California voters passed the Local Levee Assistance Program to make funds available
statewide to reimburse local public agencies for up to 50% of the cost for critical repairs and evaluations of
local levees. The California Legislature authorized an appropriation of $60 million for the program in fiscal
year 2007-08 and may appropriate an additional $30 million in fiscal year 2008-09. The agencies selected
for funding under this State Levee Program will be made on a competitive process.
The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is currently in
the process of producing a countywide flood insurance report and Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(DFIRM) for Kem County, California. As part of this process FEMA determined that sections of the Kern
River Levee system through Bakersfield require documentation to show these levees meet the criteria of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 65.10 (44 CFR 65.10). Without this documentation, these areas
previously accredited with providing flood protection from the flood that has a 1-percent-chance of being
equaled or exceeded in any given year would lose this designation. To confirm and maintain this
accreditation the City entered into the Provisionally Accredited Levee Program (PAL). Under this program
the City has until July 22, 2009 to provide required documentation to FEMA.
On March 26, 2008, the City Council approved Amendment No.1 to Agreement No. WR 07-011
authorizing Meyer Civil Engineering to complete the initial phase of a field investigation and engineering
analysis to meet the requirements outlined in the PAL Program. Under the State's new Local Levee Grant
Program the City could receive $341,550 or up to 50 % of the total costs ($683,102) to offset part of the
cost to complete the Kern River Levee evaluation in accordance with FEMA regulations.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1603 to add territory, Area 4-85 (Tract 6850) to the
Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving
the Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner(s) of the
parcels to be included into 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 a public park and street landscaping. This area will be under the park and streetscape
zones of benefit and will be assigned appropriate tier levels when a park has been constructed and
street landscaping has been installed.
Staff is recommending the new territory be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next
City Council meeting.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner(s) 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(s) also have 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
Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling
unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be supplied to the subdividers)/developer(s) to be recorded
with the subdivision map. A copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

2. Appropriate $183,905.00 (developers' contribution) to the Development Services
operating budget in the General Fund for the EIR consultant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of amendment to the agreement and appropriation of funds.
BACKGROUND:
This additional amount of $183,905.00 for the EIR consultant has been deposited by the applicant,
General Holdings. This additional amount brings the total contract amount with Michael Brandman and

EIRs, the funds to pay the consultant costs and staffs time and materials to process the EIR come from
the project applicant. At this time, funds are adequate to cover current City administrative costs.
Additional funds are needed due to the increasing complexity of the preparation of the EIR, including
the number and extensive responses to public comments that must be prepared, as well as
recirculation of the EIR.
The proposed project consists of amendment to the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General
Plan, amendment of the Northeast Bakersfield Specific Parks and Trails Plan, rezoning, and
subdivisions for mixed-uses including 1280 single and 120 multiple family residential, 8 acres of
commercial, 28 acres semi-public recreational areas, 13 useable acres for public parks, trails, and open
space on 890 acres. The Project site is located within the northeast portion of the City of Bakersfield,
California. The Project site is generally located south of Hart Park and Alfred Harrell Highway.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order and appropriations.
BACKGROUND: This project provides pavement reconstruction of Columbus Street from Mount Vernon
Ave. to Auburn St. This change order is predominantly federally funded.
During construction it was discovered that 16 lineal feet of existing curb and gutter needs to be replaced in
order to prevent water from ponding in the new pavement. The contractor has agreed to remove and
replace this curb and gutter for the lump sum price of $1,600.
The pedestrian push button pole on the northeast corner of Mt. Vernon Ave. and Columbus St. is in
conflict with the new handicap access ramps and needs to be relocated. The contractor has agreed to do
this work for the lump sum price of $1,000.
During construction, it was discovered that two existing manholes in Columbus St. need to be lowered in
order to match the new pavement grade. The contractor has agreed to lower these manholes for the lump
sum price of $7,175.82
While removing pavement on Columbus St. at Mt. Vernon Ave., three (3) abandoned steel pressure plate
type signal detectors were discovered. These facilities need to be removed in order to properly construct
the roadway. The contractor has agreed to do this work for the lump sum price of $3,124.93.
During construction of the roadway, areas of unstable and saturated soil were found throughout the project
under the existing roadbed. This unstable soil needs to be removed and replaced with more stable
material in order to provide proper support for the new roadway.. The contractor has agreed to accept a

lump sum of $117,745.90 to both remove and dispose of the unstable soil and to place and compact
stable material in the new roadway area.
In order to construct the project per the plans and specifications, several contract item quantities need to
be either increased of decreased. The net cost of these increases and decreases will result in a net credit
of ($57,055.50)
This is the first change order to be submitted for this project. This change order will increase the project
total by $73,591.15 (which is an increase of 4.2% of the original contract amount) as illustrated below:

Phase 3: Edison Highway Extension (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This project provides for construction of a trunk sewer line on Redbank Road from
Fairfax Road to Vineland Street and on Vineland Street from Redbank Road to Edison Highway.
While boring a steel casing under an existing canal and under existing railroad tracks at a depth of 25 feet,
wood poles were discovered to be in conflict with the boring operation in three locations. These wood
poles appear to be old bridge supports for the canal. The contractor has agreed to remove these
obstructions for the lump sum price of $24,764.52.
In order to enhance future maintenance of the new trunk sewer line, two additional manholes need to be
installed on Redbank Road. The contractor has agreed to install these manholes at the contract item price
for a total increase of $28,500.00.
This is the first change order to be submitted for this project. This change order will increase the project
total by $53,264.52 (which is an increase of 0.9% of the original contract amount) as illustrated below:

SUBJECT: Accept bid from Golden State Peterbilt in the amount of $235,945.77 for one additional LNG
powered four axle front-loading automated refuse truck for the Public Works Department
Solid Waste Division. (Citywide)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to over two hundred (200) suppliers for providing one (1)
additional LNG powered four axle front-loading automated refuse truck to be used by the Public Works
Solid Waste Division.
Three bids were received in response to the solicitation. During staff review of the bid proposals one of
the three bids (Central Valley Truck Center) was found to be unacceptable by Public Works staff in
two specific areas. First, the bid specked that rooftop mounted air conditioning units were
unacceptable due to a history of specific maintenance issues related to this design type; the bid
proposal specified a rooftop mounted unit. Second, Central Valley Truck refused to adhere to the City's
zero tolerance policy regarding the vendor covering any costs that might be incurred should the City
have to hire a third party to make repairs to the vehicle upon delivery.
The dollar bids received were as follows:
BIDDER
Golden State Peterbilt
Bakersfield, CA
Central Valley Truck Center
Bakersfield, CA
Bakersfield Truck Center
Bakersfield, CA
AMOUNT
6235,945.77
6261,794.65 (not an acceptable proposal)
6275,250.41
There is a long lead time in acquiring a vehicle of this type (9 to 10 months) and staff believes it is
important to order this truck now to maintain adequate service levels over the next two years.
Staff recommends award of the bid to Golden State Peterbilt, Bakersfield, California.

Accept base bid and award contract to Lee Crippen Demolition ($177,389.00) for the
Downtown Redevelopment Demolition Project (Ward 2).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low base bid and award of contract.
BACKGROUND: The Downtown Redevelopment Demolition Project consists of five (5) different sites
within the Redevelopment areas of Bakersfield. Economic and Community Development Department
(EDCD) planned that these five (5) locations be demolished as part of their redevelopment efforts. The
five (5) locations are 830 California Avenue, 1217 S Street, 1327 S Street, 508 18'h Street, and 701 Union
Avenue.
At the 830 California Avenue (The Carriage Masters facility) site, the brick building on the west end of the
property was proposed to be demolished within Additive Alternate No. 1. The recommendation by staff is
to accept low base bid and award contract, excluding Additive Altemate No. 1.
The potential developer of the re-development project is evaluating the feasibility of re-using this brick
building. If that re-use is not a viable option, then the demolition of the brick building at The Carriage
Masters facility will be re-bid at a later date.
This project is funded by EDCD funds. The Engineer's Estimate for the base bid of the demolition project
was $336,000.00. There are sufficient funds for the project.
On May 30, 2008, fifteen (15) acceptable bids were received as follows:

Full Depth Reclamation: Federal Fiscal Year 2007/2008- Camino Media Drive from Old
River Road to 200' West of Lancashire Street (Ward 5):
1. Accept bid and award contract to Maverick Asphalt, Inc ($1,525,525.00).
2. Appropriate $557,739 Federal Surface Transportation funds to the Public Works
Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the SAFETEA-LU Fund.
3. Appropriate $72,261 Gas Tax Fund Balance to the Public Works Department's Capital
Improvement Budget for the local match for the federal appropriation within Subject
Item Two.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low bid, award of contract, and approval of
appropriations.
BACKGROUND: This project consists of full depth reclamation and overlay of the existing roadway on
Camino Media Drive from Old River Road to 200' West of Lancashire Street. This is the City's first project
using the full dept reclamation (FDR) process to reconstruct the pavement. In the FDR process, the
existing asphalt concrete and aggregate base are crushed and blended together. An asphalt emulsion is
then added to those materials to improve the performance of that material. A new asphalt pavement is
then placed over that material. The FDR process is less costly than a traditional reconstruction process.
This project also includes striping, pavement markings, modification of access ramps and traffic signal
detector loops. This project is predominantly funded with federal monies. Additional funds are needed to
award this contract.
Bids exceeded the engineer's estimate of ($1,279,000) due to escalating prices of asphalt concrete.
On June 18, 2008, three acceptable bids were received as follows:

Report regarding Analysis of Park Fees and Mesa Marin Sports Complex (all Wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends receiving and commenting on the report.
BACKGROUND:
The Park Provision Program is guided by Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapters 15.80 and 15.82 which
authorize the collection of fees for the acquisition and development of City Parks.
Park acquisition and development fees are implemented through the park provision program which
includes the following procedures:
• Site master planning
• Land acquisition
• Park improvements
• Long term maintenance
Site master planning is guided by the Bakersfield General Plan which includes the following definitions of
parks:
Mini-Parks
• Mini-parks function as small neighborhood parks in residentially developed areas where
neighborhood standards are not met. The minimum size standard for public mini-parks is
2.5 usable acres.
Neighborhood Parks
• Neighborhood parks provide both active and passive recreational activities for surrounding
residential development. The minimum site size standard for neighborhood parks is 10.0
usable acres. The service area covers the neighborhoods within three quarters (3/4) of a
mile of the park site.
• The 2007 City Council goal of supplying one spray park in every four square miles of
development will generally be met in this type of park.

S:\ADMINISTRATION DIVISIONWdmin Rpts\2007 Admins\Park Planning July 16 08.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
Community Parks
• Community parks provide a wide range of recreational opportunities. The park would
typically have a service area of a 3 to 5 mile walking radius. The minimum size standard for
community parks is 20 usable acres.
Regional Parks
• Regional parks serve the population of a large region -usually within an hour travel time.
Regional parks may range in size from 20 acres to 1,000 acres or more
The land acquisition fee is guided by Chapter 15.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which requires all
new residential development to provide 2.5 acres of park land per 1000 population. The requirement can
be met as follows:
• Land dedication
• In-lieu fee
The city also has the authority to reserve land for future acquisition.
The park improvement fee was adopted by City council on October 17, 1990 by Resolution number 140-
90. The fee was for the development and improvement of parks within the City of Bakersfield. The
original fee ranged from $420 per unit for mobile homes to $610 per unit for one family dwelling. The fee
has been adjusted annually to reflect construction and inflation to its current level of $1615 per dwelling
unit.
Funds are deposited into four geographic zones and are expended in those same zones for park
improvements.
Development agreements are often created to acquire park land or construct park improvements under
contract with a private company. A number of these agreements exist and are in different phases of
implementation.
Long term maintenance is funded by the following accounts;
• General Fund
• Maintenance District Fees
Maintenance district fees are assessed for parks and streetscapes. Fees are adjusted annually and
collected on the property tax roles.
Mesa Marin Sports Complex -Located on Highway 178 just west of Kern Canyon Road, the 20 acre site
has been mostly cleared of the old improvements. The construction plan development phase of the
project is underway. Phase 1 construction is slated to begin this fall and completed on time for play in
summer 2009. Phase 1 improvements will include a parking lot, four softball diamonds, central support
building with restrooms, concession area and astorage/mechanical room.
Phase 1 of the project was funded with $3,279,560 in the capital improvement program. The funding
includes $1,650,000 from the Proposition 40 grant, $629,560 from Zone 3 Park Improvement funds and
$1,000,000 of Capital Outlay funds.
The presentation will provide information on proposed parks in alt wards.
