Commercial/Planned Commercial Development) on 8 41 Acres Located on the North Side of Mall View

allows for the City of McFarland to assign its RSTP funds ($242,572) to the City of Bakersfield in
exchange for a payment of $157,671.80. This exchange would result in a net increase in funding to the
City of Bakersfield of $84,900.20. The City of McFarland has agreed to this exchange because they
currently have no projects that qualify for use of RSTP funds. The Kern Council of Governments, which
is responsible for apportioning RSTP funds to communities throughout Kern County, has already
approved this exchange. Staff recommends transferring current year resurtacing funds in the amount of
$157,672 to fund this agreement.

Friant-Kern Canal Liner Replacement Proiect in the amount of $573.540. The Westside Parkway Project

acceptable.

year, several assessment districts completed construction and bond calls were conducted in September

time the budget was adopted. This appropriation aligns the budget with actions necessary for staff to
properly comply with their fiduciary responsibilities related to these assessment district bonds.
CONSENT CALENDAR HEARINGS

Cut Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee (oronosed Increase from $19 90 per lane-foot to

requirements of Section 12.16.150 (involving construction work in streets) be charged a nonrefundable
workmanship and performance warranty fee. All warranty fees received are expended solely for the
purpose of maintaining the workmanship and performance of City streets. The Municipal Code allows for
this fee to be adjusted annually based on the Annual Construction Cost Index as well as other factors.
This proposed increase is based solely upon the Annual Construction Cost Index.

ordinances were given first reading at the City Council meeting of September 17, 2008. The Council also
included with that motion an action to earmark the new revenue from the 1 % surcharge for gas and

by changing the zoning from R-1 (One Family Dwelling) to C-2/PCD (Regional
Commercial/Planned Commercial Development) on 8.41 acres located on the north side
of Mall View Road, south of Highway 178, approximately'/.-mile west of Oswell Street.
(ZC # 08-0472 - KSA Group Architects representing Gardens at East Hills, LLC)
(Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On October 2, 2008, 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 (One Family Dwelling) to C-2/PCD (Regional Commercial/Planned
Commercial Development) zone on 8.41 acres, located in East Hills Mall on the north side of Mall View
Road, south of Highway 178, approximately'/4-mile west of Oswell Street, for purposes of commercial
development. The reason for the request is to bring the zoning into conformance with the Major
Commercial General Plan Land Use designation on the subject property, and to facilitate future
commercial development of the property. The project area would be developed as a multi screen
theater. The existing theater within East Hills Mall will be remodeled for retail space.
Gardens at East Hills, LLC and the City of Bakersfield entered into Agreement No. 06-0227 on August
16, 2006 for the sale of the western portion (approximately 3.92 acres) of the project site for future
development of a commercial project, with the desire to acquire a parking easement over the City's
remaining eastern portion of the property (approximately 4.49 acres). Subsequently, on January 30,
2008, both parties entered into Agreement No. 08-026 for the establishment of a parking easement
over the City's eastern portion of the property to allow the developer to construct parking facilities to
support the neighboring commercial project. Easement Agreement No. 6856 was recorded on May 9,
2008 as Official Records Document No. 0208073616 to finalize the agreements.

Assignment of Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds (All Wards):
1. Agreement with City of McFarland (Payment of $157,671.80 to acquire $242,572.00 of
RSTP funds) for assignment of RSTP funds.
2. Transfer $157,672 from a budgeted Public Works Department's Capital Improvement
Project (Resurfacing Streets Division 08-09) within the Capital Outlay Fund to fund this
Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement and transfer.
BACKGROUND: This agreement would allow the City of McFarland to assign its Regional Surface
Transportation Funds (RSTP) to the City of Bakersfield.
The portion of RSTP funding allotted to Kern County is apportioned to communities through the Kern
Council of Governments (Kern COG). The City of McFarland's apportioned amount of RSTP funds is
$242,572 for Federal Fiscal Year 2009-10. The City of McFarland has offered to exchange their $242,572
of RSTP funds to the City of Bakersfield for $157,671.80 in compensation, 65% of the RSTP fund's value.
The City of McFarland has offered this discounted exchange because they currently have no projects that
qualify for use of RSTP funds in addition to the extra time required for processing State and Federal
paperwork associated with federal funding. This exchange would result in a net increase in funding to the
City of Bakersfield of $84,900.20 ($242,572 - $157,671.80 = $84,900.20). Kern COG has already
approved this exchange. The City of Bakersfield has resurfacing projects that can use these additional
RSTP funds, and minimal additional staff time will be required to procure these additional RSTP funds as
processing is already required to procure the current City RSTP funding.
The purchased RSTP funds will be budgeted in the 2009-10 fiscal year and would be used for street
resurfacing, rehabilitation, and/or reconstruction. Staff recommends using $157,672 of current year
resurfacing funds since the City will realize more resurfacing dollars with this purchase.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Homeless Intervention Services, Inc. for $62,000 of Emergency
Shelter Grant funds to support the operating costs for facility located at 816 E.
21 S` Street. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Homeless Intervention Services, Inc. (HIS) was formerly known as Bakersfield Rescue Mission,
Inc. (BRM). In 2003 BRM restructured the organization to put into place the HIS organization.
The restructuring was done in order to provide the tools needed to obtain additional funding for
the homeless by applying for outside grant funding. The mission of HIS is to help homeless
persons transition to stable, self sufficient community living. BRM has provided essential
services to the homeless persons of Bakersfield for more than 57 years. The facility operates
24 hours a day.
The City has provided Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds to BRM since 2000. The purpose
of these funds is to improve the quality of existing shelters for the homeless in addition to having
the shelters provide services to prevent homelessness.
In the Fiscal Year 2008/09 Action Plan process ESG funding for HIS was budgeted for $62,000.
The allowable expenses include staffing costs, utilities, office supplies, telephone costs,
insurance, occupancy products, building maintenance supplies, equipment maintenance, and
janitorial services.
With this agreement, staff will implement a streamlined invoicing process. The goal is to provide
HIS with a detailed written procedure that will reduce the time its staff will spend on preparing
claims for payment. There will be a workshop in mid-November to provide guidance to HIS and
other agencies receiving 2008/09 funding. This new process will help these agencies be more
efficient and reduce the time it takes for City staff to process claims.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc. (BSC) has provided services to the seniors of Bakersfield for
approximately 25 years. Its mission is to encourage older adults to participate in a variety of
volunteer activities and programs so they remain an integral part of the community. In addition,
BSC continues to provide many services through the center to ensure the health and welfare of
the seniors.
The City has provided Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to BSC since 2002
due to a continued reduction in donations which impacts the center's operations.
In the Fiscal Year 2008/09 Action Plan process, CDBG funding for BSC was budgeted in the
amount of $65,000. The allowable expenses include employee salaries and benefits,
professional fees, facility operational costs such as office supplies, utilities, maintenance, and

and other agencies receiving 2008/09 funding. This new process will help these agencies be

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement #PD 08-003 with Master K-9, Inc. for the purchase of
Police Dogs, basic handlers training and basic narcotics detection training.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
On March 28, 2008, the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) and Master K-9, Inc. entered into an
agreement whereby Master K-9, Inc. would supply the BPD with two police service dogs and provide basic
handler's and basic narcotics detection training.
The proposed amendment would increase the number of police service dogs supplied under the
agreement from two to three, and will provide the necessary training for basic handling and basic narcotics
detection. The reason an additional dog is needed is to replace "Bo", a current police service dog to be
retired at the beginning of November 2008. The purchase of the additional dog will not increase the police
K-9 unit complement.
This amendment will increase total compensation from $33,662.50 to $42,998.00, which necessitates
converting the department agreement to a Council agreement. All monies paid under this agreement have
been budgeted, and will be reimbursed through the Asset Forfeiture trust account.

Accept low bid and award contract to Kern Pacific Construction Company ($573,540.00)
to construct the Friant-Kern Canal Liner Replacement Project (TRIP). (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and award of contract.
BACKGROUND: The Westside Parkway Project, which is being administered by the Thomas Road
Improvement Program (TRIP) staff, will include an overcrossing for the Friant-Kern Canal. The Friant-Kern
Canal is owned by the Bureau of Reclamation and is operated and maintained by the Friant Water Users
Authority. To minimize future maintenance of the canal beneath the Westside Parkway overcrossing,
these agencies are requiring that the existing concrete canal liner in the vicinity of the overcrossing be
replaced with a thicker concrete liner.
This project removes and replaces approximately 376 linear feet of concrete canal lining. The project also
includes provisions to allow relocating sewer and gas pipelines that currently cross beneath the canal.
The relocation of these pipelines is also due to the Westside Parkway Project. The Engineer's Estimate for
this project was $750,000.
Seven acceptable bids were received on Wednesday October 15, 2008, as listed below:

Appropriate $143,000 federal Congestion Management Air Quality (CMAQ) funds
for the project at Panorama Drive and Meadow Vista Street and $143,000 federal
CMAQ funds for the project at Berkshire Road and Wible Road to the Public
Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the SAFETEA-LU Fund.
2. Transfer $75,000 from a budgeted Public Works Department's Capital
Improvement Project (Miscellaneous Concrete Construction) to the project at
Berkshire and Wible Road within the Gas Tax Fund for the City's local match.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriations and transfer.
BACKGROUND: These projects consist of installation of a complete traffic signal and lighting system at
the above referenced locations as well as modification of pavement markings and striping, and
reconstruction of access ramps to meet current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. A
portion of both of these signals are federally funded through Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
funds.
Each of these two federally funded projects requires a local match. The local match for the signal at
Panorama and Meadow Vista is already budgeted. The traffic signal at Berkshire Road and Wible Road
does not have any local match funds budgeted. Therefore, funds need to be appropriated for the local
match for this project. Staff recommends transferring funds from a budgeted Capital Improvement Project,
Miscellaneous Concrete Construction, to fund the local match for this project.

BACKGROUND:
University Park users of the dog park had requested that a drinking fountain designed specifically for dogs,
be placed inside the dog park. Since this was an unbudgeted item, staff agreed to install it if the users
could raise at least half the total expense of the fountain and installation.
Neighborhood residents were able to donate $2,462 toward the dog fountain through the City of
Bakersfield Foundation.
The installation of the drinking fountain has been completed, at a total cost of $3,217.50. A plaque
honoring the donation will be installed next to the new fountain.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $2,175,000.00 fund balances to the operating budgets within various special
assessment funds to facilitate advance redemption of Assessment Bonds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the appropriations.
BACKGROUND:
During the year property owners may pay off the assessment lien balances on their property. The City,
as Trustee, is required to use these additional amounts to "call" outstanding special assessment bonds.
In addition, money held in trust by the City for construction and debt repayment earn interest. This
interest may be used to call outstanding special assessment bonds once construction is complete.
During the 2008 fiscal year, several assessment districts completed construction and bond calls were
conducted in September 2008 on seven separate assessment districts.
The principal and any premium amounts are forwarded to the City's paying agent to retire bonds in
advance of their normal maturity in accordance with the respective bond indentures.
The exact bond call amounts were not known at the time the budget was adopted. This appropriation
aligns the budget with actions necessary for staff to properly comply with their fiduciary responsibilities
related to these assessment district bonds.
The seven districts and the amount of the bond calls are as follows:
93-2 Stine/Harris $275,000
94-3 SC/BN/SO/SL $100,000
01-3 Mountain Vista/San Lauren $100,000

SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider Resolution approving and adopting an adjustment to the Street
Cut Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee (fee proposed to increase from $19.90
per lane-foot to $20.66 per lane-foot; 3.84% increase).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 12.16.150 requires that all permits issued under
the requirements of the Chapter be charged a nonrefundable workmanship and performance warranty fee
to the City. All payment warranty fees received are expended solely for the purpose of maintaining the
workmanship and performance of City streets.
Staff proposes that the base fee be increased from $19.90 per lane-foot to $20.66 per lane-foot (this is the
cost per foot for the City to pave a 12' wide lane).
The Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee first became effective November 21, 1997 and was last
amended October 24, 2007 (Resolution 238-07). In accordance with Bakersfield Municipal Code Section
12.16.150, the Street Cut Workmanship and Performance Warranty Fee shall be adjusted annually by the
ENR Annual Construction Cost Index (Los Angeles), as published by Engineering News Record, McGraw-
Hill Companies (3.82% for the twelve months ended September 2008). The ordinance also allows this fee
to be annually adjusted to account for changes in cost estimates for recent City resurtacing projects, and
any other items which would change or add to the component items in the fee. The proposed increase is
based solely upon the ENR Annual Construction Cost Index.
If approved, the adjusted fee would become effective on November 10, 2008. The Street Cut
Workmanship and Performance Warranty is not a development fee.

1. Adoption of Ordinance granting to PG&E a franchise for distributing electricity within
the City of Bakersfield.
2. Adoption of Ordinance granting to PG&E a franchise for distributing gas within the
City of Bakersfield.
3. Memorandum of Understanding - PG&E Rule 20A Undergrounding
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the ordinances and approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
These ordinances were given first reading at the City Council meeting of September 17, 2008. The
Council also included with that motion an action to earmark the new revenue from the 1 % surcharge for
gas and electricity and the additional'/~% revenue for electricity franchise for roads programs. The action
also provided that some time in the future, it may be necessary for staff and the City Council to consider a
sunset provision to the surcharge. The Memorandum of Understanding is to accelerate Rule 20A
undergrounding projects to be done by PGB~E.
Current franchises:
PG&E has franchises for electricity and gas with the City that have expired. The franchise provides for
payments to the City by PGB~E for use of City right of way to provide electricity and gas service as
provided by state law (state constitution and 1937 Act) and city charter. For the electricity franchise the
payments typically are made based on one-half percent (.5°k) of the gross annual receipts from the sale of
electricity within the limits of the franchise. For the gas franchise the factor is one percent (1°~) of the
gross annual receipts from the sale of gas. These payments are for PGBE's use of the public right of way
within the City, which typically is in or along our streets and roadways.
On January 20, 1958, the City Council granted Pacific Gas and Electric Company (°PG8~E°) franchises to
use, transmit, and distribute gas and electricity within the City of Bakersfield. The term of each franchise
was for a period of 50 years. The franchises expired on or about February 19, 2008.
The City Council has extend the terms of the existing franchises to December 18~' or until adoption of the
new franchise ordinances, whichever occurs first.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Renewal negotiations with PGBE:
The City of Bakersfield was interested in modernizing the electricity and gas franchises to reflect current
practices and requirements of utility franchisees and achieving the best utility franchise terms available.
Most cities within PGBE's service area receive 1 % of gross receipts with indeterminate terms for both their
electricity and gas franchises. Recently, there have been several franchise renewals by cities approved
by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) which included an additional local surcharge beyond
the typical 1 %. Staff met with representatives of PGBE and discussed matching the franchise terms similar
to those received by other cities and other recent renewals. They indicated their willingness to match the
1 % franchise rate for electricity and gas with an indeterminate term similar to what other cities receive.
They also indicated a willingness to consider the surcharge similar to other recent franchise renewals.
Bakersfield would be PGBE's first city in its service territory to have a franchise surcharge similar to those
enacted by Santa Barbara and Ventura which are served by other utility companies. The surcharge would
have to be approved pursuant to CPUC guidelines and subject to approval by the CPUC which would at a
minimum take about six months. There would be no guarantee that the CPUC would agree to the
surcharge, even though they recently approved surcharges for other cities. Each surcharge request is
independent and subject to the CPUC's final determination.
In addition to the items discussed above, staff also reviewed the franchise agreements with regard to
clarifying language regarding PGBE's cooperation on performing work in the City right of way and timely
relocation of their facilities. Staff has incorporated new language which better identifies when PGBE
would be responsible to relocate their facilities at City request. Also included is clarification regarding
relocation of PGBE facilities for highway facilities transferred from the State to the City (such as Rosedale
Highway or State Highway 201) being included under the City's franchise and its relocation requirements.
Staff also asked about inclusion of a favored nation's clause to insure the City would receive franchise
terms similar to other cities. PGBE has indicated they would be able to include a clause that would
provide that PGBE would match any change to the 1937 Act which resulted in an increase in the
percentage paid based on gross receipts for the Bakersfield franchises.
Rule 20A:
PGBE also agreed that in exchange for an indeterminate term for the gas franchise as part of the renewal
to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City regarding the utilization of Rule 20A
program funds for the undergrounding. of utilities. PGBE has agreed to advance up to 5 years of Rule
20A undergrounding funds and set completion deadlines to accelerate the undergrounding of PGBE
facilities identified by the city. The projects proposed include:
Currently Established Underground Utility Districts:
• Sports Village
• South Mill Creek
Future Underground Utility Districts:
• Baker Street (Truxtun to California)
• Union Avenue (Columbus to Monterey)
• Larson Lane (Wilson Road to Planz Road)
• table Road (City boundary to Ming Avenue)
• California Avenue ("S" Street to Union)
• Calloway (Hageman to Rosedale)

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
This would allow these projects to occur much sooner than they would have otherwise. Additionally, this
will provide coordination of construction schedules between the City and PG8~E for the undergrounding of
utilities for projects such as the Sports Village and South Mill Creek. This memorandum of understanding
outlines the projects to be included in this effort and the process for establishing timelines for completion
based on City priorities. Based on funds currently available under the rule 20A program and the advance
of 5 years of 20A funds, PG&E would complete over $15 million in undergrounding projects throughout the
City. Staff recommends approval of the Memorandum of Understanding.
Timins~:
The ordinances will become effective 30 days following the second reading and adoption of the
ordinances by the Council. Some of the actions contemplated require subsequent action by the CPUC. It
is anticipated that such consideration and review would take a minimum of approximately six months to
bring to conclusion. It is important to note that actions subject to CPUC review are not assured of
approval. The memorandum of understanding with PGB~E for Rule 20A projects would go into effect upon
adoption by the Council.
Recommendation:
The 1 % for the gross annual sales of electricity and gas for an indeterminate term similar to what other
cities receive was recommended by staff. This would bring the City in line with other cities in PGB~E's
service area. This change would be implemented upon adoption of the franchise and additional revenues
would begin accruing at that point. It is estimated that implementation of these changes to the franchise
could result in approximately $1,524,595 in new General Fund revenue to the City from PG&E.
Staff also recommended the City proceed with the application to the CPUC of an additional local
surcharge for electricity and gas franchises of 1 %. If a surcharge is enacted, staff would recommend that
it not be applied to those PG13~E customers under the "CARE" program which is designed to assist low and
fixed income customers (similar to qualifications for CDBG). The surcharge, however, is subject to review
and approval by the CPUC which is estimated to take at least six months. Surcharge revenues would be
payable to the City in the month of April, following the calendar year of implementation. Approval of the
surcharge by the CPUC cannot be assumed since they have broad discretion over such increases. If
approved, the local surcharge would generate approximately $3,185,634 in new revenue. Staff
recommended that any additional surcharge revenues generated be earmarked for road and highway
projects since the purpose of the franchises is for PG&E's use of the City's right of way, which typically is
in or along city streets and roads. As noted above, the Council at the September 17, 2008 Council
meeting acted to earmark the new revenue from the 1 % surcharge for gas and electricity and the
additional'/% revenue for electricity franchise for roads programs.
