RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends First Reading of the proposed ordinance amendments.
BACKGROUND:
Occasionally, various Departments throughout the City request changes to the Bakersfield
Municipal Code which 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.
The following is a list of ordinances that are being recommended by Staff for changes:
1. BMC Sections 5.56.010, 5.56.020, and 5.56.040. This amendment deletes reference
to sections which no longer exist, and prohibits tables, chairs and other dining facilities on the
property.
2. BMC Section 16.16.080 E. This amendment modifies the section to make it mirror the
Subdivision Map Act.
3. BMC Section 16.32.080. This amendment eliminates a word to provide clarification
that cable television improvements are considered separate from other public utility
improvements.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that DeZURIK@, a proprietary brand for replacement
valves in City owned digesters at Wastewater Treatment Plant 3, cannot be
reasonably obtained through the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the
Finance Director to dispense with bidding thereof for a period of one (1) year,
not to exceed the budgeted amount of $100,000. (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A digester is a tank in which sludge is placed to allow decomposition by
microorganisms. Wastewater solids and water are placed in the digester where bacteria
decompose the solids in the absence of dissolved oxygen. A byproduct produced from
digestion is methane which is used to power the cogen to produce electricity. During the
1997 expansion of Wastewater Treatment Plant 3, the design used DeZURIK® valves for digester
1 and 2. The digesters periodically require cleaning and valve replacement as part of routine
maintenance.
Due to the proprietary nature of DeZURIK®, and the need to properly maintain the City's
digesters, staff is recommending adoption of the Resolution to dispense with bidding for
DeZURIK® and authorizing the purchase of DeZURIK® valves and components on a continuing
basis in amounts to meet the City's requirements, not to exceed the budgeted amount of
$100,000.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 1650 to order the vacation of a flowage and drainage
easement at the southeast corner of the property located at 68 E. White Lane, PM
11785. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield has received a request to vacate the flowage and drainage
easement located at the southeast corner of the property located at 68 E. White Lane, PM 11785. The
existing sump is being relocated to the northeast corner of the property and a new flowage and drainage
easement will be provided and recorded prior to final approval of this vacation. A new access easement to
the new sump location will also be completed prior to final approval, along with an access easement over
the existing sewer lift station.
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 are City sewer and 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.
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 November 3, 2009 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 January 13, 2010, on the
proposed vacation.

SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention #1653 to add territory, Area 2-42 (5801 District Boulevard) to the
Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving the
Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of the parcel 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 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
Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a
covenant has been drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider(s)/developer(s) to be recorded with the
subdivision map. A copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

SUBJECT: Relocation of Beardsley Pipeline and Headgate along 7th Standard Road (Unincorporated)
1) Reimbursement Agreement with the County of Kern (not to exceed $206,565) for the
over-sizing of approximately 1800 feet of the Beardsley lateral 1-5-0 pipeline and headgate.
2) Joint Use Agreement with the County of Kern for relocation of waterline easement
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Reimbursement and Joint Use Agreements.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield's 1-5-0 lateral pipeline and headgate divert Kern River water from the Beardsley
Canal just west of Coffee Road into the Kern River Canal & Irrigation Company service area. The
relocation is part of the County of Kern's 7th Standard Road widening project and will be relocated at the
County's expense.
The City of Bakersfield anticipates the future demand due to growth in the area will require a 42" pipeline
and corresponding headgate. Because the County of Kern is relocating the existing pipeline as part of the
7th Standard Road project it makes economical sense to upsize the pipeline at the same time.
The reimbursement agreement between the County of Kern and the City of Bakersfield is to reimburse the
County of Kern for the additional costs associated with the over-sizing of the 24" pipeline and headgate.
The joint use agreement is necessary for the County to relocate the existing waterline easement to the
new location on the south side of 7th Standard road within the new right-of-way which is under the County
of Kern jurisdiction. This agreement will allow the City to operate and maintain the new waterline and the
County to operate and maintain the new alignment of 7th Standard Road.
The City of Bakersfield 2009/2010 Capital Improvement Budget authorized $260,000 to upsize
approximately 1800 feet of 24" pipeline to 42" with corresponding headgate.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Rossetti Associates Incorporated ($86,300.00) for support services during
construction of the Bakersfield Sports Village Phase 1 (Ward 6).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Sports Village Project is located on a 220 acre site on the north side of Taft
Highway between Gosford Road and Ashe Road. The City plans to construct a recreation facility with a
"Sports Village" theme. The facility will consist of 16 soccer fields, a soccer stadium, 4 baseball fields, 6
soft ball fields, 4 football fields, a multi-purpose facility and a community center. Surrounding areas will
feature a park with a lake for family outings and two commercial areas.
On February 28, 2007, the City entered into an agreement with CMX Sports Engineers for preliminary and
schematic design services for the Sports Village. On July 30, 2008, the City entered into agreement with
CMX Sports Engineers for preparation of construction documents and supports services during
construction of Sports Village Phase 1. Phase 1 includes construction of 8 soccer fields, restroom,
concession stand, parking lot, portion of Fair Play Drive, sports field lighting for 8 fields, walkways, and
landscaping adjacent to Ashe Road from Fair Play Drive to McKee Road.
During the bidding period of Phase 1, the City received notice from CMX LLC. (formerly CMX Sports
Engineers) that CMX closed their doors on August 14, 2009 due to the current economy. For this reason,
the City had to seek fee proposals from other design consultants to provide architectural support services
during construction. Rossetti Associates Incorporated was a sub-consultant on CMX's design team and
has a complete understanding of the project. In addition, Rossetti has prepared their team with the same
sub-consultant's used during the design of the project. The only change in the design team is that City
staff will be providing supports services for the civil engineering aspects of the project; this aspect of work
was previously provided by CMX.
On September 9, 2009 the City awarded a construction contract to Klassen Corporation for the
construction of Phase 1. Construction is anticipated to start in mid November 2009.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City generates approximately $7 million annually in transient occupancy taxes
TOTs"). Online travel companies ("OTCs") customarily purchase blocks of hotel rooms at the
wholesale price and then sell these hotel rooms to customers online at the retail price. It is
believed that OTCs collect the TOT from customers based on the retail price of the room, but only
remit the tax to the City based on the wholesale price, keeping the difference. The law firm of
McKool Smith has experience in assisting municipalities discover whether OTCs have properly
remitted the appropriate TOTS.
Staff is seeking approval of an agreement with McKool Smith, P.C. to assist the City in an
audit of these OTCs and if necessary, pursue a lawsuit to recover any damages.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Community Action Partnership of Kern, in the amount of $247,342 in
CDBG funds for related construction assistance and predevelopment related soft costs for
the Friendship House Community Center located at 2424 Cottonwood Road. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The Friendship House Community Center has a 40-year history of providing needed services to the
residents of southeast Bakersfield. The Community Action Partnership of Kern is requesting $247,342 in
CDBG funds from the City of Bakersfield's Economic and Community Development Department to assist
in the reconstruction of the Friendship House Community Center. The purpose of the request is for
assistance with construction and predevelopment related soft costs, including but not limited to
engineering design, permits for the construction of the youth center and to improve the outdoor sports
complex. Improvements to the sports complex include perimeter fencing for the property, upgrading and
expanding the current outdoor amenities of three basketball courts, and a refurbished softball field that
would also accommodate soccer fields at the outdoor sports complex. Some of the funding may be used
to assist in the cash flow for the project as construction begins on the youth center and the Community
Action Partnership of Kern secures confirmation of receipt of $3,039,000.00 in Proposition 40 grant funds
from the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation.
The use of Federal funds requires the use of federal procurement procedures for any future contractor or
any contracted laborer for the project. Also, city staff has completed the NEPA environmental review and
is waiting for approval of the release of funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Upon receipt of the release of funds, the Economic and Community Development staff will
issue a written notice to proceed to Community Action Partnership of Kern before they can access the
CDBG funds.

SUBJECT: Approve Amendment No. 3 to Agreement 06-053 with Parsons Transportation Group
Inc, ($714,000.00 for a not to exceed total of $43,855,767.00) for Program
Management Services for the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) (Various
Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment to agreement.
BACKGROUND: Security Paving Company (SPC) began construction on the SR-178 and Fairfax
Road Interchange Project in October 2007. At that time, the City entered into Amendment No. 2
to Agreement 06-053 with Parsons Transportation Group, for Program Management Services for the
Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP), to include Construction Management (CM) Services
for overseeing the construction of this project.
SPC originally had planned to complete the interchange by May 2009, ahead of schedule, and
Parsons had based their original work effort and cost on this expedited project delivery schedule.
However, completion of the freeway interchange construction has been delayed due to a
number or reasons, including:
• longer than expected utility relocations that had to be coordinated with project construction.
Some of these relocations that the City was going to pay the utility company for, SPC
performed instead and the City paid SPC instead of the utility company
• design changes required due to unanticipated field conditions, and the subsequent approval
from Caltrans for these changes before they could be implemented
• additional work performed by SPC that was not included in their original contract
The project is now essentially complete except for two ramp design related issues that the City is
working with the Designer to remedy, and "punch list" items Caltrans and Parsons staff have noted
and the contractor is addressing. Due to the extended schedule, Parsons is requesting additional
funds in order to continue to provide CM services through the completion of the project.
In addition, the audited indirect cost overhead rates for Parsons for any of their federally funded
contracts is reviewed and updated annually. This amendment also includes the adjustment of
these rates in accordance with federal acquisition regulations the City must follow when using
federal funds. This rate adjustment does not alter the contract amount.
Staff recommends approving this amendment for an amount not to exceed $714,000.00.
Adequate federal and impact fee funding has been previously budgeted to pay for this
amendment.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 05-195/RA05-002 Sub-recipient Agreement with the
Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency for the Commitment of $2,046,619 HOME Investment
Partnership Funds earmarked for affordable housing in the Baker Street Mixed Use Project.
(Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
During the past few years, the City Council has committed various funding sources for the Baker Street
Mixed Use Project including Community Development Block Grant Funds, Tax Increment, Section 108
and HOME Investment Partnership Funds. Subsequently, the Redevelopment Agency has executed
multiple agreements with the City assuming oversight responsibility for the use of these federal funds in
addition to agreeing to comply with HUD mandated regulations in relationship to the administration of the
project.
The housing component of the Baker Street Mixed Use Project - Phase 1 is planned to include 24
residential town homes and 13 one bedroom lofts over commercial space on Baker Street for a total of 37
units. All of the residential units will be "for rent"and affordable. To date a total of $1.635 million in HOME
funds have been earmarked in the budget for the housing component of the project from multiple fiscal
years beginning in FY 2002/03.
This proposed sub-recipient agreement will serve a similar assignment function whereby the City will
technically lend the Agency the HOME funds and the Agency will agree to administer the project, ensuring
that the project will be built and that affordable housing will be provided as previously described. HUD
regulations require the commitment of these funds through a contractual agreement either to a developer
or a sub-recipient entity over the course of two funding years. The funds must also be expended within
five years. Uncommitted funds are subject to reclaiming by HUD. This sub-recipient agreement fulfills the
commitment requirement called for under the HUD regulations and secures the funds for the project.
Staff has completed negotiations with the Housing Authority of the County of Kern and the final
components of the Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) are under review. The Housing Authority
applied for and received an $8 million HUD Capital Fund Recovery Competition Grant to complete
construction of Phase 1. The OPA is scheduled to be presented for consideration to the Redevelopment
Agency in December 2009. The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency will consider this Agreement at its
December 2009 meeting.

SUBJECT: Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 - 2007 Expansion Project (Ward 6):
1. Amendment No. 2 to Construction Management Contract No. 06-388 with Jacobs Civil
Incorporated ($700,000.00; for a revised total contract amount of $7,700,000.00) for
additional construction management services for Project.
2. Transfer $200,000 contingency established for the Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3
Expansion Project to the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment and transfer.
BACKGROUND: Agreement No. 06-388 with Jacobs Civil Incorporated was approved by the City Council
on December 13, 2006. This agreement provided for construction management service, constructability
review, construction inspection, construction surveying, and soil/material testing for the $211 million
Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 Upgrade and Expansion project. With approximately six months left of
construction, the Construction Phase portion of the budget is 96% depleted. This is mostly due to the
extensive material testing required for a project of this size and complexity. Items that fall under the
material testing category include inspection of rebar, welding, masonry, concrete, and soils. The
compensation clause needs to be increased by $700,000 for the additional services. The following table
summarizes the amended compensation by category of work:
DESCRIPTION AMENDMENT 2 FEE
1. Constructability Review Phase (fixed fee) $182,920
2. Bidding Phase (not-to-exceed fee) 248,721
3. Construction Phase (not-to-exceed fee) 7,039,109
4. Reimbursable Expenses for All Phases of Work 229.250
(not-to-exceed fee)
$ 7.700.000
The Fiscal Year 2009/10 budget included $500,000 for this anticipated amendment. An additional
$200,000 is needed from the contingency account in order to fully fund this amendment.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 4 to Agreement No. 09-022 with MGE Underground Inc.
($57,747.27, for a revised not to exceed amount of $830,386.35) for the project
known as Install Traffic Signal Interconnect - Part 6 (Wards 1, 2, 4, 5).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This project provides for the installation of fiber optic traffic signal interconnect conduit
and cable at various locations to facilitate traffic signal coordination and synchronization.
During the course of the project, a number of previously undetected utility main lines and service lines
were found to be within the area of the interconnect conduit installation. The contractor is required by
state law to ascertain the location of these facilities by hand digging and physically exposing the utility line
prior to constructing the interconnect conduit. These unknown utility lines were discovered on every street
within this project. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum of $57,158 for locating these facilities
including the excavation, backfill, and patch back of the various areas.
During the installation of the interconnect conduit on Oak Street at Chester Lane, a large concrete sign
foundation was discovered. This foundation is 30 inches in diameter and approximately 5 feet in depth.
The contractor has agreed to remove this structure for the lump sum price of $589.27.
The net cost increase of Change Orders No. 4 is $57,747.27. The change orders to date on this project
reflect a total cost increase of $103,324.35 (which is an increase of 14.2% of the original contract amount)
as illustrated below:
• Original Contract Amount = $727,062.00
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $830,386.35
Net Increase to date = $103,324.35

Of the two bids that were determined to be non-responsive, one was deemed non-responsive because of
an error made on the Proposal Form that increased the contractor's bid amount to $3,401,800, which
greatly exceeds the engineer's estimate.
The other bid was determined to be non-responsive because the contractor did not perform adequate
good faith efforts to afford underutilized disadvantaged business enterprises (UDBEs) opportunities to
participate in this Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) project. This particular project is funded with
FHWA funds and as a condition of receiving these funds, the City implemented the Caltrans'
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program, commonly referred to as the DBE Program. The DBE
Program is based on federal regulations mandated by the United States Department of Transportation
(DOT). It is the policy of the City of Bakersfield to ensure that DBEs, as defined in these federal
regulations, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in DOT-assisted contracts.
A specific project goal is established for each FHWA funded project pursuant to federal regulations. The
project goal applies only to underutilized DBEs, commonly referred to as UDBES.
Bidders are encouraged to make every attempt to reach the UDBE project goal or provide adequate
documentation that they did actively and aggressively seek out UDBEs to participate in this federally
funded project. Guidance as to what constitutes a good faith effort was explained in the various
documents issued on this project.
The DBE Oversight Committee, which is comprised of staff from the Public Works Department and from
the City Attorney's Office, reviewed the good faith effort submitted by this bidder. Based on an extensive
review, the DBE Oversight Committee found that the bidder did not perform adequate good faith efforts.
The bidder was informed of this decision and, as required under federal regulations, the bidder was
provided an opportunity to appeal the decision of the DBE Oversight Committee to the Appeal
Reconsideration Committee which is made up of the Public Works Director and the Assistant Public Works
Director. The bidder met with the Appeal Reconsideration Committee on October 30, 2009. Based upon
both the verbal and written documentation provided by the bidder regarding their good faith effort, the
Appeal Reconsideration Committee upheld the decision of DBE Oversight Committee.

2. Accept bid from Fireblast 451, Inc. in the amount of $346,400 for the
purchase of a Fireflash II mobile live fire training system.
3. Appropriate $275,680 Federal Grant Revenue and $70,720 Capital Outlay
Fund to the Fire Department Capital Outlay Budget within the Capital
Outlay Fund for the purchase of the Live Burn Trailer Simulator.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of the Grant, appropriation of the funds
and authorization of the purchase of the Live Burn Trailer Simulator from Fireblast 451, Inc.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to over two hundred (200) bidders for providing
live burn trailer simulators. Two (2) bids were received in response to the solicitation as follows.
The Bakersfield Fire Department has been approved for Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG)
funding from the US Department of Homeland Security. The approved project is a Live Burn
Simulator, $344,600, of which the Federal share is $275,680 and the City share is $68,920. The
Fireblast bid is $346,400, which is $1,800 more than the grant, therefore, the total City share will
be $70,720.
Upon City staff review, it was determined the lowest bid from Pro-Saf6 Fire Training Systems,
Inc. did not meet acceptable minimum specifications in several pertinent areas. The Pro-Safe
model bid does not provide flame control at three (3) heights which provides fire behavior
realism; Pro-Safe cannot provide five (5) completed projects within a 250 mile radius for
inspection by City staff to insure quality and accuracy of production; Pro-Safe does not offer
the required drawings or schematics of the proposed unit prior to bid award; Pro-Safe does
not include a pitched roof with chop hatch and OSHA compliant railings to provide safe,
realistic ventilation practice during live fire simulation; and Pro-Safe does not offer a second
story room thereby limiting the realistic basement prop simulation as well as other specification

1. Appropriate $17,840 of local contributions to the Recreation and Parks
Department Capital Improvement Budget within the Capital Outlay Fund for
landscape improvements along Highway 99 between Hosking Road and
McKee Road. (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
Donations were received by the Bakersfield Foundation from Tejon Ranch ($5,000), PG&E
($5,000), and Walmart ($7,839.87) to fund landscape improvements along Highway 99 between
McKee Road to Hosking Road. The funds need to be appropriated from the Bakersfield
Foundation to the Recreation and Parks Department Capital Improvement Budget to expend
the funds needed for the project.
The graffiti that was once located alongside the wall on Highway 99 between Hosking Road and
McKee Road has been removed. To complete the restoration and beautification of the area,
landscaping needs to be installed. However, the City cannot provide the necessary funding to
finance this project. Consequently, Keep Bakersfield Beautiful (KBB) has been proactive in
seeking donations to complete the project. The Bakersfield Foundation has received $17,839.87 in
donations from various donors. This will provide the necessary funds to complete the landscaping.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $80,000 Equipment Management Fund balance to the Public Works
Department's Operating Budget to replace four street equipment items because of
California Air Resources Board regulations.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has notified fleet staff that they will no
longer renew permits for portable equipment powered by "Tier 0" engines. "Tier 0" engines are older
engines dated pre-1995. In addition, the City must dispose of "Tier 0" equipment by December 31, 2009.
Only four portable equipment items are classified "Tier 0", all of which is assigned to the Streets Division.
The four items include one water pump and three air compressors.
There are two available options. One option is to repower the machines at a cost of $9,000 to $10,000 per
unit. The downside is the required investment of approximately $40,000 for all four items that are about
14 years old. The second option is to purchase all new equipment. The estimated cost will be $80,000 to
replace all four items.
Staff recommends replacing all four units with new certified equipment and dispose of the old units prior to
December 31, 2009. In order to proceed with this option, an appropriation of $80,000 is needed.

SUBJECT: Public hearing on Resolution of Necessity ("RON") to determine whether the public
interest and necessity require acquisition by eminent domain property located east of
Mohawk Road between the Cross Valley Canal and Truxtun Avenue and a lot south of
Truxtun Avenue, portions of the S 1/2 Sec. 27, T29S/R27E MDB&M involving APNs
332-280-27, -30, -31, -32 (Wanamaker, et al., owners), for the Westside Parkway
project. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1240.010) (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Westside Parkway Project will create a new east-west, multi-lane highway beginning at the
intersection of Stockdale Highway and Heath Road and extending eastward parallel to the Cross Valley
Canal and Kern River, crossing the Kern River near the existing BN&SF Railroad bridge and ending near
SR-99. Right of way for eight lanes must be acquired but initial construction will be limited to four lanes
from Stockdale Highway/Heath Road to Allen Road, six lanes from Allen Road to Coffee Road, eight lanes
from Coffee Road to Mohawk Street and six lanes from Mohawk Street to the eastern terminus of the
parkway. The Project will also include the construction of interchanges at Allen Road, Calloway Drive,
Coffee Road and Mohawk Street, extension of Mohawk Street south from Rosedale Highway across the
Kern River to Truxtun Avenue, and a grade separation at the intersection of Mohawk Street and the
BN&SF Railroad.
Recent growth in northwest Bakersfield has increased congestion on Rosedale and Stockdale Highways,
the major east-west arteries west of Highway 99. The Westside Parkway Project will expand traffic
capacity and circulation between northwest Bakersfield and the downtown area and between the California
Avenue business district and Rosedale Highway. The Project is necessary to reduce traffic congestion and
accommodate traffic from anticipated growth in these areas. The need for, and benefits of, the Project
were analyzed in the Tier 1 Route 58 Route Adoption Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental
Impact Report ("Tier 1 EIS/EIR"), which the City Council approved on June 12, 2002. Additional
information about the Project is contained in the draft Tier 2 Environmental Assessment/Draft
Environmental Impact Report for the Westside Parkway Project ("Tier 2 EIS/EIR"), which has been
approved by the Federal Highway Administration, Caltrans, and the City's Director of Public Works. Both
the Tier 1 EIS/EIR and the Tier 2 EIS/EIR are available for inspection at the office of the Thomas Roads
Improvement Program, 900 Truxtun Avenue, Suite 200.

FROM: Stanley C. Grady, Development Services Director DEPARTMENT HEAD
DATE: November 4, 2009 CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Status Report Regarding Updating the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
No action necessary.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this report is to update the City Council on the recent workshop held by the Kern
County Board of Supervisors and the continuing work by both City and County staff, PMC (the
General Plan consultant), and the technical consultants on the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan
update (GPU).
On October 26, 2009, the Kern County Board of Supervisors held a public study session on the GPU.
County Planning staff briefed the Board on the status of the update, and provided them with
information that was presented at the joint Planning Commission hearing in April. This included maps
showing various growth areas identified by City/County staff, issues concerning compliance with
climate change legislation, infill concepts, and information about traffic levels of service (LOS).
In response to public comment, the Board asked staff to create a task force that could be used to
help focus on speck issues related to defining the growth areas and promoting infill. County
Planning staff will be reporting back to the Board on December 18t with a recommendation on the
establishment and function of this task force, and since the update is a joint jurisdictional effort, how
the City would be involved. Because the update is well underway, concerns of creating a task force
include how much this may delay the process, will there be additional unanticipated or unbudgeted
costs, the affect on the existing public process that has already occurred, and the Planning
Commissions' role. Until more is known, City staff will continue to monitor this issue and keep the
Council apprised of the Board's actions.
Throughout the GPU process, extensive public involvement has occurred through community
meetings, including two joint City/County Planning Commission meetings. As the process moves
forward, the respective Planning Commissions will have public hearings on the draft plan and
environmental documents. Equal opportunity has been provided for both individuals and special
interest groups for public input. Additionally, the city created a public web site that enables review
and download of all the materials presented at the public meetings, and allows comments to be made
through the GPU web site (htto://www.bakersfieldcity.us/mbgo/index.html).

PUBLIC MEETING SUMMARY
May 2007, Public Outreach Meeting (First Series) - The City and County in conjunction with Kern
COG and Vision 2020 held four public workshops. These meetings were held in the northeast,
northwest, southeast and southwest areas of the metro area. Using facilitators from Vision 2020,
community strengths, weaknesses and prioritization of issues was developed
July 2007, Vision 2020 conducted a "Web Survey" and a public telephone survey commissioned by
KernCOG.
January 2008 - Town Hall Meetings for the regional "Blueprint" planning process held by Kern COG.
February 2008, Public Outreach Meetings (Second Series) - Three additional public outreach
meetings were held in association with KemCOG.
In June 2009, staff held a public workshop with the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce.
The City and County Planning Commissions have met twice in joint sessions, first in April 2007 to kick
off the update process and again in April 2009 to receive the Public Outreach Issues Report and the
Existing Conditions, Constraints, and Opportunities Report. Staff also introduced growth concept
maps.
COMPLETED REPORTS
Public Outreach Issues Report This report summarizes the results of the public outreach efforts
for both the General Plan Update and the KernCOG Blueprint project. It contains information
gathered from the four public workshops, the Vision 2020 web site, statistically valid telephone survey
conducted by a consultant retained by KernCOG, and individual emails and comments received by
staff.
Existing Conditions, Opportunities and Constraints Report This report identifies the existing
issues relating to land use, circulation, water availability, transportation, noise, and funding sources
for public services. It provides the basis for changes to the policies and implementation measures in
the plan.
NEXT STEPS
Staff is completing service capacity analysis papers for traffic, sewer and water that will look at
capacity and resource availability issues under the existing General Plan land uses. The results of
these analyses will be used to support the land use policies for the GPU.
Staff is nearing completion of the proposed changes to existing policies and implementation
measures in the General Plan. Completion of an administrative draft is anticipated in spring 2010.
Public workshops will be held before the two Planning Commissions (includes possible joint meeting).
Subsequent preparation of an environmental impact report and a climate action plan to address new
greenhouse gas and air quality legislation will occur. Additional public hearings will be held before
the Planning Commissions with recommendations to the City Council and Board of Supervisors.

Municipal Code, which generally are sought to make a section read better, correct a

Item 81. Relocation of Beardsley Pipeline and Headgate Along 7th Standard Road. As part of
the County of Kern's 7th Standard Road widening project, the County will be relocating a City
24" lateral water pipeline and headgate just west of Coffee Road. Due to growth in this area,
future demand will require a 42" pipeline and a corresponding headgate. This agreement will

this pipeline when it Is relocated (not to exceed $206,565). The Joint Use Agreement will allow

Item 8o. Agreement with McKool Smith P C to Provide Leaai Services Related to Transient
Occupancy Taxes on a Contingency Fee Basis. Online travel companies customarily purchase
blocks of hotel rooms at wholesale prices and then sell these rooms to their customers online at
retail prices. It Is believed that these companies collect transient occupancy taxes from their
customers based on the retail price of the room, but only remit the tax to the City based on the
wholesale price, keeping the difference. This agreement will allow McKool Smith, P.C. to assist
the City in an audit of this Issue, and if necessary pursue a lawsuit to recover any damages.

and Predevelopment Related Costs for the Friendship House Community Center located at

sports complex. Some of this funding may also be used to assist in cash flow for the project as

$3 million in Proposition 40 grant funds for this project. Originally these funds were Intended for
construction of soccer fields only, the use is now being expanded.

amendment to an agreement with Jacobs Civil Incorporated to Increase their compensation

to the extensive amount of material testing that has been necessary for this project. There is
approximately six (6) months left of construction and this amendment will provide the funds
necessary for the additional testing that will be required during this period of time. $500,000 was
included in the FY 2009-10 budget in anticipation of this amendment and an additional
