10.Ordinance Amending Section 17.60.060 Subsections B.6 and B.8 Relating to Sign
Development Standards.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance amendments.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the above listed ordinance amendments was at the Council meeting on October 8,
2008. About once a year, various Departments throughout the City request changes to the Bakersfield
Municipal Code that are minor in nature. Generally, the changes are being sought to make a section read
better or to reflect current practice or correct typographical errors.
This year, the following is a list of ordinances that are being recommended by Staff for changes:
1. BMC Sections 1.17.020, 1.17.030 and 1.17.040. The amendment to Section 1.17.020
adds annexation elections to subjects approved for all-mail elections. The statewide election language
was repealed and Elections Code Section 1500 sets out the established dates; therefore, BMC Section
1.17.030 was amended to read accordingly. Section 1.17.040 was amended to refer to the Elections
Code in general as Elections Code Section 4100 does not outline the procedures, and section 4000(c)(9)
was deleted in the Elections Code.
2. BMC Section 2.76.130. This amendment corrects a reference to subsection 16 (instead of
15) of BMC Section 2.76.030.

S:\COUNCILVidmins\OS-09 Admins\Clsenup of Ordinances.2ndRdg.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
3. BMC Section 3.40.070. This amendment requires that people liable for collection and
payment of taxes imposed by the City to retain their tax records for three years (in contrast to two years),
which is consistent with State law.
4. BMC Sections 10.24.010 and 10.24.020. The California State Legislature revised the
California Vehicle Code effective January 1, 1997 to set the maximum speed limit at 65 mph on a two-lane
divided highway and 55 mph on a two-lane, undivided highway. This amendment brings the municipal
code into compliance with the Vehicle Code.
5. BMC Section 10.44.060. This amendment includes miscellaneous revisions to update
street names and add additional streets.
6. BMC Section 10.48.010. The original wording of the ordinance may have given the wrong
message regarding establishing crosswalks and it is probably from a past notion of many years ago when
most people thought a crosswalk marking made the crossing somehow "safe" and the pedestrian did not
have to take as much caution, etc. A marking on the road does not "magically" protect the pedestrian.
Therefore, the words "particular hazard to pedestrians crossing the roadway" has been deleted from this
section and the change "need to direct and guide pedestrians to a location to cross the roadway" has been
incorporated.
7. BMC Sections 14.12.030 Subsection Y.2, 14.12.080 Subsection F, 14.12.220 Subsection
B.22, and 14.12.390 Subsection B. These minor amendments include changing section numbers referred
to in certain paragraphs, increasing the number of days to file reports, and changing the vernacular from
zero to "non-detect" on discharge tests.
8. BMC Section 15.09.060. Our Bakersfield Municipal Code adopts the Uniform Plumbing
Code. However, the City can and does allow for certain exceptions to the Plumbing Code. The attached
sections are exceptions to the Plumbing Code and have been modified so they read more clearly. In
addition, in light of the recent discussions concerning connection to the public sewer upon annexation,
Staff is proposing to memorialize in writing, by way of this ordinance, what has always been City policy.
9. BMC Section 17.52.020 Subsection B and 17.54.020 Subsection B. This change removes
an inconsistency with subsections A in both chapters, which already addresses uses within the combining
zone.
10. BMC Section 17.60.060 Subsections B.6 and B.8. Section 17.60.060 Subsection B.6.b is
deleted in its entirety as the referenced section no longer exists. Section 17.60.060 Subsection 6.8 will
add Subsection c as this is something the City already does.

CITY MANAGER ,~S
SUBJECT: Resolution approving the donation of surplus Police Department equipment to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, for the consideration of $1.00.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution
BACKGROUND:
In November 2008, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will be conducting a Large Vehicle Bomb
School in Eastern Kern County. The purpose of this school is to train investigators how to reconstruct a
scene after a bomb has been detonated. Part of the class is the detonation of a bomb inside a vehicle and
then conducting a post blast reconstruction investigation.
The FBI has offered the BPD two seats in the class, in exchange for providing a vehicle to be used as the
subject for post blast investigation. The BPD would like to donate its armored bomb vehicle (#5449,a
1981 armored GMC van). This vehicle is not in running condition and is in the process of being replaced.
The regulations for disposing of an armored vehicle are different from the City's normal disposition policy.
The US Department of State's Foreign Affairs Manual, section 12 FAM 388(c), states "For security
reasons, all armored vehicles must be destroyed. Approved disposal methods include: (1) burial at sea;
(2) explosive demolition; (3) burning; (4) crushing; or (5) burial on U.S. Government controlled land."
The only disposal method that might have monetary salvage value is crushing. At approximately
$150/ton, this vehicle would be worth up to $1,690.00. However, by donating a vehicle to the FBI, the
BPD will receive training it normally would not be able to easily obtain, as participation in these classes is
very limited.

The owners of the above-mentioned properties failed to commence the required work as ordered by
the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed above were abated under the direction of the Chief
Code Enforcement Officer. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed against the property as
provided for in Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Property owners had been given
notice of their right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the City Manager or his designee
and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public nuisance. The
Assistant City Manager has approved the assessments associated with the above mentioned
properties.
The Council will need to confirm the approval of the Assistant City Manager of the costs incurred by
the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be made a lien
against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.

SUBJECT: Resolution approving application proposing proceedings for annexation of uninhabited
territory to the City identified as Annexation No. 615 consisting of 0.28 acres, located at
East Berkshire Road, west of Madison Street. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The resolution of application proposes proceedings for annexation of 0.28 acres of roadway to the City
of Bakersfield identified as Annexation No. 615, located at East Berkshire Road, west of Madison
Street.
The 20 foot wide strip of roadway at East Berkshire Road was inadvertently omitted from a previously
approved annexation (known as Annexation No. 546, Hosking No. 11). The property owner is
requesting annexation of this portion of East Berkshire Road to correct the oversight. The purpose of
this annexation is to acquire the right- of-way necessary for the development of Tract 6585, located on
the south side of East Berkshire Road and to provide for the public improvements that are necessary
within the East Berkshire right-of-way.
The annexation is adjacent to the City limits and is within the City's Sphere of Influence boundary. The
proposal is to annex the roadway for development purposes.
The exchange of property tax revenues for this annexation will be covered under the master tax split
agreement (Memorandum of Understanding 05-015) between the City of Bakersfield and County of
Kem. The basis for this determination is that this annexation is covered under b. 7. of the agreement
"Annexation of Uninhabited Land and Residential Development."

SUBJECT: Resolution ordering the summary vacation of the public Road Easement as dedicated per
Grant Deed 15542, book 2062 in page 1, located south of Casa Loma Drive and east of
Lotus Lane. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a request for the vacation of the 30-foot wide public Road Easement as dedicated
per Grant Deed 15542, book 2062 in page 1, (a County Road No. was not assigned). The road is located
south of Casa Loma Drive and east of Lotus Lane. This road was not constructed. There are currently no
existing dedications on the east or west of this dedication, between Lotus Lane and Cottonwood Road.
The road was dedicated on April 1, 1953 and has never been used as a street and is not needed. The
owner, Bakersfield Pacific Associates II, is developing the area and requests the road be vacated.
This dedication is eligible for summary vacation per Section 8334 of the Streets and Highways Code which
authorizes the City Council to summarily vacate an excess street right of way which is not needed for
street purposes.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Development Services, and Economic Development Departments
have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of the date of this report.
Public Works notes that there is no City sewer or storm drain facilities in the vacating area.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. There has been no objection as of the
date of this report.
Notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 foot radius of the proposed vacating
area. Public Works has not received any written objections from these owners as of the date of this
report.
The proposed vacation was approved by the Planning Department on October 3, 2008 per local ordinance
and was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 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 (Categorical Exemption), because there is no
possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.

SUBJECT: Revised Job Specification and Change to Salary Schedule:
1) Amendment No. 1 to Resolution No.136-08 setting salaries and related benefits for
officers and employees of the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and
Management Units and adopting salary schedule and related benefits for
Accountant II.
2) Revised Job Specification: Accountant II #57950
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the revised job specification.
BACKGROUND:
The Finance Director is requesting the Accountant II job specification be revised to provide Accountants a
pathway within the Finance Department to gain the supervisory experience necessary to eventually qualify
for Accounting Supervisor and/or Business Manager. Both of these positions require a minimum of one
year of supervisory experience. This is part of an effort to retain quality supervisory staff within the
Finance Department.
There will be no budgetary impact because the budgeted higher-level Accounting Supervisor position will
be underfilled with an Accountant II. The revised job specification will be presented to the Miscellaneous
Civil Service Board at the October 21, 2008 meeting.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 4 to Contract No. 97-39 with the Public Employees' Retirement System
(PERS)
1. Resolution of Intention to approve an Amendment No. 4 to Contract No. 97-39 with
the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System.
2. Ordinance authorizing an Amendment to the Contract of Administration of the Public
Employees' Retirement System to provide Section 21354.5 (2.7% ~ 55 Full Formula) and
Section 20037 (Three-Year Final Compensation) for the local miscellaneous members.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution of Intention and First Reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This amendment implements a recent negotiated item to the City's agreement with the Blue and
White Collar, Miscellaneous Supervisory and Miscellaneous Management Units.
The City of Bakersfield has a contract with the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) where
the City contributes money for retirement benefits for each regular employee following a specified
period of employment. Retirement benefits are based upon the contractual percentage, the number
of years of service and the salary of an employee. The City costs are based upon these benefits.
This Amendment under Section 20475 (Different Level of Benefits) of the PERS law, will amend the
current PERS retirement formula for this group of employees from Section 21354.3, 3% ~ 60 to
Section 21354.5, 2.7% ~ 55.
This amendment will also amend the final compensation period from Section 20042, one year final
compensation to Section 20037, a three year final compensation period. This Amendment will affect
all new hires upon implementation of this amendment.
A notice of Intention to amend our contract with PERS to allow this change to Section 21354.5 and
Section 20037 must be made public twice by the City Council, and then it can be adopted after at
least 20 days following the first reading of the Ordinance.

Reports for General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 07-0655 (Bakersfield Gateway
Project) located along the east side of State Route 99, between Hosking Avenue and
Berkshire Road, west of South H Street. (Ward 7).
1. Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 07-299 with Jones and Stokes Associates, Inc.
for ($14,315.00) for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
2. Appropriate $14,315.00 (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:
The current contract amount with Jones and Stokes Associates Inc., the EIR consultant, preparing the
EIR for the Bakersfield Gateway Project at the northeast comer of State Route 99 and Hosking Road is
$207,535. This amendment to the contract with Jones and Stokes will increase the amount to total
$221,850. No City funding is required for this contract. This increase is necessary to cover
considerable comment letters for the EIR beyond what was originally anticipated. The funds to cover
the consultant costs and staff's time and materials to process the EIR come from the project applicant.
The project consists of an amendment to the Land Use and Circulation Element of the Metropolitan
Bakersfield General Plan and concurrent Zone Change covering approximately 93 acres. The project
includes anchor retail, a national destination specialty retail, lifestyle commercial facilities, restaurant,
theatre, and possible hotel, totaling approximately 965,000 square feet. The central design feature is a
clustering of in-line shops, restaurants, entertainment, and major tenants, in a walkable, highly-
amenitized setting. Parking will be located on the perimeter of the site, creating ready access for
vehicles while preserving a predominantly pedestrian, outdoor-oriented sense of urban place.

($1,000,000, revised not to exceed $5,000,000) and extending the term to October 23,
2009 for the annual contract for street reconstruction and paving. (Citywide)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: On October 24, 2007, Council awarded the Annual Contract for street reconstruction
and paving, in the amount of $2,000,000. Amendment No. 1 was executed on May 7, 2008 adding
$2,000,000 to the contract to allow for maximum paving work to be completed during the paving season.
The agreement allows for four (4) consecutive one-year extensions of agreement, if all parties agree. T D
Whitton Construction has requested a unit cost increase consistent with the U.S. Department of Labor
Producer Price Index and within the terms and conditions of the agreement. City staff approves the
increase and wishes to extend the agreement for one year and add $1,000,000 to the cumulative contract
amount. Extending the Agreement allows the City to continue working with a good provider and saves
staff time and efforts required if this item were to be re-bid.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order Nos. 1 - 3 to Agreement No. 08-062 with Granite
Construction ($70,036.00 for a revised not to exceed amount of $8,165,652.00) for
the project known as Allen Road Improvements between Ming Avenue and
Stockdale Highway. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amendment.
BACKGROUND: This project provides for the construction of new roadway on the Allen Road alignment
across the Kern River between Stockdale Highway and Ming Avenue.
Contact Change Order No. 1 provides for providing flagging personnel for the safety of bike path users
during the duration of the construction. In order to keep the bike path open and useable during the
construction process, temporary construction crossings need to be established over the new and existing
bike path. This will require flagging personnel to monitor and control potential traffic conflicts between
users of the bike path and construction equipment. The contractor has agreed to provide the flagging
personnel on a time and materials basis for an amount not to exceed $10,000.00.
Contract Change Order No. 2 provides for providing a field office at the project site. The project
specifications do not provide for furnishing a temporary field office for the City's construction management
personnel which is necessary for storage of project files, materials, and equipment which are needed for
the proper management and monitoring during the construction process. The contractor has agreed to
provide for the cost of this field office for the duration of twelve (12) months for a lump sum price of
$10,036.00.
Contract Change Order No. 3 provides for early construction of the new bike path. The bike path in the
area of the project needs to be realigned in order to conform to the construction of the new bridge and
roadway; however, the project specifications do not provide for keeping the bike path open during
construction. In order to keep the bike path open for all users for the duration of the project, the contractor
must rephase their construction operations, change the alignment of the new bike path, construct
temporary crossings for construction equipment, and clean the bike path twice a day. The contractor has
agreed to do this work for the lump sum price of $50,000.00. A cost analysis has been done for this work
and is on file.

Construction ($80,045.41 for a revised not to exceed amount of $29,523,875.05) for the
State Route 178 and Fairfax Road Interchange Project (TRIP) (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Orders.
BACKGROUND: This project consists, in general, of construction of a freeway interchange on State Route
178 at Fairfax Road and the extension of the freeway from 0.12 miles east of the Oswell Street
overcrossing to approximately 0.19 miles west of Morning Drive.
Change Orders No. 10 and 12 both involve revisions to the electrical systems for the project. At the time
the project was bid, there were electrical details that were either not adequately defined in the project plans
and specifications, or have been modified because of changed conditions at the site. These include
PG&E utility connection points, and provisions necessary for temporary services to provide interim power
to traffic systems during construction (safety lighting, traffic signalization, etc.). These change orders also
move some electrical items needed for the project landscaping from the Landscape portion of the
specifications to the Electrical portion of the specifications. Change Order No. 10 has a cost increase of
$172,900.00, and Change Order No. 12 has a cost decrease of ($92,854.59) so that combined the net cost
increase of these change orders is $80,045.41.
Change Order No. 11 deletes the submittal of some contract documentation that Caltrans originally
required the contractor provide. This contract documentation requirement has recently been suspended by
Caltrans. This change order has no change in cost associated with it but since it is a change to the
specifications, Caltrans requires there be a formal change order.
The net cost increase of Change Order No. 10-12 is $80,045.41. This provides a total cost change order
increase of $194,428.95 (which is a 0.67% increase from the original contract price) as illustrated below:
• Current Contract Amount (includes Amendment Nos. 1 & 2) _ $29,329,446.10
• Previous Change Orders = $ 114,383.54
• Current Change Order No. 10-12 = $ 80,045.41
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $29,523,875.05
Net Increase to date = $ 194,428.95
Adequate state/federal funds have been previously budgeted to cover these additional costs.

SUBJECT: Reclassification: Four (4) Fleet Mechanic I positions to Fleet Mechanic II -Fleet Division of the
Public Works Department.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Raul Rojas, Public Works Director, has requested a review for possible reclassification of four (4) Fleet
Mechanic I positions in the Fleet Division to Fleet Mechanic II assigned to the Corporation Yard. The review
conducted by the Human Resources Division indicated there are four (4) Fleet Mechanic I employees
working "out-of-class" on heavy equipment at the Corporation Yard. As per Article 23 of the Memorandum of
Understanding with SEIU, Local 521, premium pay will be required if the positions are not reclassified.
The review confirms that the incumbents are performing work well within the scope of the Fleet Mechanic II
job classification. The majority of their work is on "heavy" equipment which is the distinguishing factor for a
Fleet Mechanic II.
Public Works has already included the salary adjustments in the 2008/2009 budget. Therefore, there is no
budgetary impact. SEIU concurs with the proposed reclassifications. The reclassifications will be presented
to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their October 21, 2008 meeting.

Appropriate $1,422,700 Proposition 50 grant funds to the CIP budget within the Recreation
Facility Fund for Kern River Upland and River Edge Restoration Project. (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
In the November, 2002 election, Proposition 50 (the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and

On September 13, 2006, the City Council adopted resolution 240-06 approving the application for Prop 50
grant funds and authorized the Recreation and Parks Department to execute all necessary documents to
apply for funds.
On January 25, 2008, the City received confirmation from the State of California Resources Agency that
the Kern River Upland and River Edge Restoration Project was awarded funding in the amount of
$1,422,700. The City is providing matching funds totaling $375,800 for a pedestrian bridge, earthmoving
labor and equipment and planting labor for a total project cost of $1,798,500. These matching funds have
already been appropriated in the 2008/2009 Agricultural Water fund.
With this appropriation, the project will proceed with the implementation of improvements with Proposition
50 funds. The approved project involves restoration of 3,500 lineal feet of the Kern River beginning at
Chester Avenue continuing westerly to the Union Pacific Railroad and encompassing 10.25 acres of land
within the Kern River Parkway. The restoration of this section of the Kern River floodplain to its natural
condition will provide the public opportunities to observe native plants and animals within their natural
habitat.
Grant project amenities include the following: Displays and signage
Natural walking paths
Overlook platforms
Native shrubs, grasses and trees
With approval of this appropriation, staff will begin engineering and construction immediately.
