~°'P AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS 6 -
June 29, 2011 COUNCIL MEETING
Item 8e. Resolution ap rp ovina an annexation application for property at the, southwest corner
of Wilson Road and South Union Avenue. Located in Ward 1, this is a 2.75 acre parcel that
includes a towing business and seven residential rental housing units. The annexation has been
requested by Phillip and . Crista Dotson, the owners of the Golden Empire Towing, to bring it into
the City limits. Because the County has determined that the full right of way of Wilson Road
between the existing City boundary and Union Avenue should be included, it is necessary to
include the residential parcel. The property owners of the residential parcel, Vincent Saldias
and Elizabeth Crandall, were contacted regarding the proposed annexation and have
expressed neither support nor opposition.
Item 8j. Resolution and approval of agreement to sell surplus pro erty located south of
California Avenue and east of Owens Street. In 2006, the Redevelopment Agency acquired
three acres of commercially zoned land from the County Housing Authority. In 2010, the
Agency conveyed one acre of the property to Clinica Sierra Vista to construct a dental clinic.
Gryphon Capital, LLC wants to purchase the remaining property to develop a Family Dollar
Store, which is a discount retailer. (The subject parcel was conveyed by the Agency to the City
when the State threats began to abolish redevelopment agencies.) The sales price of $272,000
represents the fair market value of the property.
Item 8n. Agreement with Duane Morris, LLP for legal services regarding water related matters.
The City has previously contracted with the Duane Morris law firm under multiple agreements for
individual cases and other matters and has received exceptional results from their services. This
proposed agreement will cover all water related matters for the next 3 fiscal years, with the
compensation at $750,000 for 2011/12, $875,000 for 2012/13, and $1,000,000 for 2013/14. This will
eliminate the multiple contracts, and Duane Morris will handle all water related mattes assigned
to them until the ultimate closure of the cases, including the appeal process. Also requested in
this action is a $750,000 appropriation ($375,000 from the Agricultural Water Fund Balance and
$375,000 from the Domestic Water Fund Balance) for the FY 2011 /12 outside legal costs under
this agreement.

Pacheco Road from Akers to Wible and from Hughes Lane to South H Street - The engineer's
estimate for this project is $1,200,000. 3 bids were received, all acceptable; staff recommends
award to the low bidder, Granite Construction, in the amount of $1,207,708. Additional federal
funding obtained through KemCOG requires a local match. Appropriations of $268,980 in
additional federal funding and $34,849 in additional gas tax revenues for the local match are
requested.
Stine Road from Pacheco Road to White Lane - The engineer's estimate for this project is
$1,560.00. 3 bids were received, all acceptable; staff recommends award to the low bidder,
Granite Construction, in the amount of $1,611,888.00. This project also received additional
federal funding through Kern COG and also requires a local match. Appropriations of $378,492
in additional federal funding and $49,037 in additional gas tax revenues are requested.
Item 8x. Amendment of HUD Action Plan for use of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP31
Funds. The City received $3,320,927 of NSP3 funds in March, 2011 for the purchase and
rehabilitation of abandoned, vacant or foreclosed residential properties and to demolish
blighted structures. Having reevaluated the community need, staff is proposing to shift some of
the funding from purchasing and rehabilitating existing residential units to redevelopment of
vacant properties to focus on one large centrally located area of greatest need, which better
complies with the intent of NSP3. That area is generally bounded by Chester Avenue to the
west, 4th Street/Virginia to the south, the City limits to the east, and 34th/Bernard Street to the
north. This will allow the option to focus on assisting vacant properties in the Mill Creek and
Baker Street areas to continue the redevelopment that was impacted by the economic
downturn and lending markets. Staff wishes to reallocate o total of $2,888,834 for that purpose,
with the current allocation of $332,093 for demolition of blighted structures to remain
unchanged: The appropriation of $3,320,927 in NSP funds to the NSP fund operating budget is
also requested with this action. Due to potential changes, the appropriation was not requested
when the original NSP3 Substantial Amendment was approved by the City Council in February,
2011.
There will be a conference with legal counsel regarding one matter of existing litigation, one
matter of potential litigation, and one matter regarding the initiation of litigation.
REPORTS
Item 13c. Planning and Development Committee Majority and Minority Re oorts regarding a
Proposed Cash Subsidy for Purchasers of Newly Constructed Homes. The Committee has been
reviewing the feasibility of providing incentives for new housing to spur the local economy. A
proposal was introduced at the June 2, 2011 Committee meeting for the City Council to adopt
a pilot program to provide a cash subsidy for purchasers of newly constructed homes in the
amount of $2,500, up to a maximum of 250 building permits.
The Majority Report recommends that the City Council not adopt the proposed program.
The Minority Report recommends that the City adopt the proposed program.
Agenda Highlights - June 29, 2011 Council Meeting
Page 2
If the proposal is approved, the City Council will need to designate $625,000 ($2,500 x 250) to
fund the program. The Council will also need to authorize the reallocation of funding from the
proposed budget. That action will be done under Agenda Item 14a.

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the recording of an affordable housing covenant on City
owned property located at 408 and 424 20th Street as required for the State of
California Prop 1 C grant for Mill Creek. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and authorize the City Manager or his designee to
execute all necessary documents and make minor revisions if required.
BACKGROUND:
On December 18, 2008, the City Council approved the purchase of vacant property located at
408 and 424 20th Street for the purpose of eliminating blight within the Millcreek Linear Park area.
The property was purchased using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the
purpose of constructing a future affordable housing project.
On March 31, 2009, the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency authorized staff to apply for and
receive a State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development Department
(HCD) Infill Infrastructure Program grant in the amount of $10,847,200 for the Southeast Bakersfield
and Old Town Kern Redevelopment Project Areas, This grant will be used for the construction of
infrastructure improvements which directly support 5 affordable housing developments along
Millcreek.
California Community Redevelopment Law requires affordability covenants on housing projects
for 45 to 55 years, Due to this statutory requirement HCD is requiring the recording of covenants
on the five (5) housing projects in the Millcreek area to ensure affordability of the housing projects
for the required time period.
Since the property is in the name of the City of Bakersfield the Bakersfield Redevelopment
Agency is requesting approval of the City Council to record the affordability covenant on the
property located at 408 and 424 20th Street as required by the State.

SUBJECT: Resolution approving application for annexation of uninhabited territory to
the City of Bakersfield identified as Annexation No. 629 consisting of 2.75
acres, located at the southwest corner of Wilson Road and South Union
Avenue. (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The resolution of application proposes annexation of uninhabited territory to the City of
Bakersfield. The proposed annexation identified as Annexation No. 629, consists of a
towing business and seven residential housing units (rentals), and is located at the
southwest corner of Wilson Road and South Union Avenue. The property owners (Phillip &
Crista Dotson) requested annexation to include the Golden Empire Towing Company into
the city limits. The residential property is owned by Vincent Saldias & Elizabeth Crandell.
During the map review process, County Roads Department determined that the city
should include the full right of way of Wilson Road between the existing city boundary
and Union Avenue. In doing so, it was necessary to include the residential parcel into this
annexation to provide a more logical annexation boundary.
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 Kern.

SUBJECT: Resolution to Authorize Sale of Surplus Light Bars and Sirens to the City of
McFarland Police Department, a governmental entity for Twenty Dollars ($20.00).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City has received a request from the City of McFarland Police
Department, a governmental entity, to purchase twenty (20) surplus light bars and sirens for
one dollar each ($20.00). The City has a surplus of older technology light bars; the age of the
units range from 7 to 18 years. The light bars can only by used by another law enforcement
agency due to the color configuration. The City of McFarland established their own police
department in 2010 and the surplus equipment will be used to outfit their current and future
police patrol vehicles. Staff recommends acceptance of the offer from the City of McFarland
Police Department, to purchase surplus light bars and sirens for twenty dollars ($20.00).
The Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 3.20.120F provides for this action and states that any
sale to a governmental entity or non-profit organization shall be subject to confirmation and
approval by the City Council.
The equipment is being sold "as is with all faults" to remove the City from any potential liability
claims.

BACKGROUND: The City has received a request from the City of McFarland Police
Department, a governmental entity, to purchase twelve (12) mobile radios and twelve (12)
portable radios for ten dollars each ($240.00). The City has a surplus of older technology
mobile and portable radios. The radios can only be used by another law enforcement

($10.00) per radio is reasonable based on the radios limited marketability and recommends

(12) mobile radios and twelve (12) portable radios for two hundred forty dollars ($240.00).
The Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 3.20.120F provides for this action and states that any

2. Quitclaim Deed to Juliana's Garden, LLC, a California limited liability
company conveying excess land located west of Canteria Drive. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield has been working with various groups in the City of the Hills development
to address concerns arising from the unexpected departure of the original developer, Mountain
View Bravo. One of those issues was the maintenance of the landscaping along Canteria Drive.
Currently, the landscaped areas are owned by several different parties, including the City. It has
been determined that a Lot Line Adjustment (LLA) would be needed to allow the Juliana
Garden's Homeowners Association to acquire title to all of the landscaped areas and the
ongoing responsibility to maintain them. The City owns a small strip of landscaping east of the
large sump along Canteria which was included in the conveyance of the sump to the City. The
strip is outside the fenced area of the sump and should not have been included in the original
conveyance. Staff has determined that due to its size, location and restricted use the land has
little, if any, value. So the City is quitclaiming the strip back to the party it received it from,
Juliana's Garden, LLC, at no cost. Juliana's Gardens, LLC will then transfer it to the Juliana's
Gardens Homeowners Association along with its portion of the landscaped area.

1. Resolution declaring real property located south of California Avenue and

2. Agreement with Gryphon Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
to purchase said land for $272,000. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In December of 2006, the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency acquired approximately three
acres of vacant commercially zoned land from the Housing Authority of the County of Kern. In
May of 2010, the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency conveyed approximately one acre of this
property to Clinica Sierra Vista. Clinica has since constructed a 3,863 square foot dental clinic at
the southwest corner of East California Avenue and South Robinson Street. Then in response to
pending State legislation that would effectively eliminate all redevelopment agencies the
Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency conveyed the balance of the property to the City of
Bakersfield.
Subsequently, a development firm from Los Angeles, Gryphon Capital, LLC has offered to
purchase the remainder of the property to construct a commercial development. Gryphon
plans to develop the property to a Family Dollar Store, a discount retailer. The sales price of
$272,000 represents the fair market value of the property as determined by an appraisal
prepared by MB Appraisals, an independent real estate appraisal firm.
The Planning Department, in accordance with Government Code Section 65402 and City of
Bakersfield Ordinance 4248, found the sale to be consistent with Metropolitan Bakersfield General
Plan.

This resolution hereby fixes Wednesday, July 13, 2011, at 5:15 PM, or as soon as thereafter as may
be heard, at the Council Chambers of the City Council, 1501 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield,
California, as the time and place for hearing protests on the following matters: COST ESTIMATE

Avenue) to the Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily approving,
confirming, and adopting the Public Works Director's Report. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution of Intention.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner(s) 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(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.

SUBJECT: Contract for legal services regarding water related matters:
1) Agreement with DUANE MORRIS, LLP for fiscal years 2011/2012 in the amount of
Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), 2012/2013 in the amount of Eight
Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($875,000), 2013/2014 in the amount of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000).
2) Appropriation of $750,000 ($375,000 Agricultural Water Fund Balance and $375,000
Domestic Water Fund Balance) to the Water Resources Department Operating Budget
to pay legal fees for year 1 of the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1999, the City Attorney's Office has outsourced water related cases, issues and matters to
the law firm of Duane Morris, LLP. The Duane Morris team of attorneys has produced exceptional results
in favor of City on the many cases assigned.
There are two major differences between the proposed agreement and the previous agreements
with the Duane Morris law firm. First, if approved, the agreement with Duane Morris will extend over the
next three fiscal years, through June 2014. The compensation will increase each fiscal year, beginning in
2011/2012 at $750,000, 2012/2013 at $875,000. and ending 2013/2014 at $1,000,000. Second, the
agreement is for a flat rate. In past years, multiple agreements were executed for individual cases, issues
and matters that would be handled for the agreed upon compensation and complex matters would be
billed at a reduced hourly rate. Under the proposed three year agreement, there are no multiple contracts.
In other words, all water related matters assigned to Duane Morris will be covered under the agreed upon
compensation-regardless of the number or the complexity. In addition, the matters will be handled until
ultimate closure of the case, which includes the appeal process. The City believes it may achieve a cost
savings while retaining experienced counsel on a monthly flat rate basis.
In addition to the above benefits, this arrangement will provide greater stability in calculating legal
fees for water related cases, issues and matters and keep Duane Morris aware and apprised of water
issues that may have an impact on current water litigation matters to which the City is a party. As is
standard on our other attorney flat rate contracts, the City will not be billed for internal costs, such as copy
charges, legal research, or clerical time.
The $750,000 appropriation is needed to provide the funds necessary to cover the cost of outside
legal fees under this agreement for FY 2011-12.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 07-312 with PCL Industrial Services Inc., for a
ground lease at the Bakersfield Municipal Airport, 2000 South Union Avenue for
$136,800 per year. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment.
BACKGROUND:
On August 29, 2007, the City of Bakersfield entered into Agreement No. 07-312 with PCL Industrial
Services Inc. to lease a portion of the Bakersfield Municipal Airport (approximately 10 acres) at
2000 South Union Avenue for the purpose of light manufacturing and storage.
On August 20, 2008, the lease was amended to increase the leased premises by an additional 5
acres and increase the base rent from $6,000 a month to $9,000 a month or $108,000 a year.
PCL Industrial Services has requested to lease an additional 4 acres of land to further expand
their operations. Accordingly, the City of Bakersfield is amending their agreement a second time
to increase the lease premises from 15 acres to 19 acres and increase the rent. The base rent will
be adjusted to reflect the increased premises from $9,000 a month to $11,400 per month or
$136,800 a year.
The original agreement that recorded in 2007 is a 10 year lease agreement. It is due to expire on
August 31, 2017 with 2 options to extend. The monthly rent has an escalator clause that is
adjusted annually by the change in the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the U.S. Department of Labor for CPI-U for West Urban Area.
The amendment is beneficial to the City of Bakersfield due to the increased rent monies going
towards beautification projects and other airport improvements.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 11-050 with Leslie's Poolmart, Incorporated
extending the completion date (zero dollar increase) for the Commercial Pool
Heater Replacements at McMurtrey Aquatic Center. Ward 2
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: On May 18, 2011, Council approved the contract for commercial pool heater
replacement at McMurtrey Aquatic Center with Leslie's Poolmart, Incorporated in the amount
of $54,838.82. The terms and conditions of the original contract required the Contractor to
complete the project by July 1, 2011 or be assessed liquidated damages.
Installation of the heaters requires a three day shutdown of total pool operations. Since
heaters are not used in the summer, Parks and Recreation staff now believe installation can
be effectively accomplished in late August with minimal impact to pool programs. Late
August installation will ensure that the heaters are operational prior to needing them for fall,
winter and spring operations. Therefore, staff wishes to amend the agreement's completion
date and associated liquidated damages clause.
If approved, Amendment No. 1 will extend the completion date to September 1, 2011 with no
dollar increase.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
In July 2009, Caltrans adopted new "Race Conscious" requirements for federally funded projects,
which also apply to this RSTP funded project. A formula provided by the State of California was
used to calculate the required percentage of 10% for Underutilized Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises (UDBE) to be used as subcontractors on this contract. The City held a mandatory pre-
bid meeting for all of the preapproved contractors allowed to bid on this project. During that
meeting, the importance of putting forth a good faith effort to meet the predetermined goal by
soliciting UDBE's was emphasized to each contractor in attendance. It was also stressed to the
contractors that they need to provide to the City appropriate documentation indicating such
good faith efforts were performed allowing each UDBE sufficient time to respond to the
solicitations. Each contractor on the preapproved bidders list was required to attend said
meeting in order to bid on this project. If they did not attend the mandatory pre-bid meeting,
they forfeited their chance to bid this project.
The low bidder, Granite Construction Company, submitted documentation supporting that they
met the UDBE goal. Their bid was therefore deemed acceptable.
Additional appropriations are required to fully fund this contract. Additional federal funding was
obtained through KernCog which also requires a local match by the City. Staff recommends
appropriations of $268,980 in additional federal funding and $34,849 in additional gas tax
revenues for the local match.

1. Approval of Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Action Plan
Amendment No. 6 (FY 10/11) & Consolidated Plan 2010 Substantial Amendment for
Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds; and
2. Appropriate $3,320,927 Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP3) funds to the
operating budget in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program Fund to assist with
abandoned, foreclosed and vacant properties.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
On March 1, 2011, the City of Bakersfield received $3,320,927 of Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (NSP3) funds as part of the federal Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) to address Congressionally-identified needs of vacant, abandoned and
foreclosed residential properties in three specifically-targeted areas of greatest need. Originally,
the NSP3 Action Plan Substantial Amendment included the following programs:
• $2,058,602 for the purchase and rehabilitation of abandoned, vacant, or foreclosed
residential properties to benefit persons earning 120% Area Median Income (AMI) or less
(Low-, Moderate-, and Middle-income or LMMI);
• $830,232 for the purchase and rehabilitation of abandoned, vacant, or foreclosed
residential properties to benefit persons earning 50% AMI or less;
• $332,093 to demolish blighted structures; and
• $100,000 for program administration.
Economic and Community Development has since reevaluated the NSP3 program based on
community needs and efficiency of administration, and is proposing the following amendments:

1. Cancel Acquisition and Rehabilitation of vacant, foreclosed, or abandoned units in NSP3
target areas by developer(s) or subrecipient(s) to benefit families < 120% AMI ($2,058,602);
2. Cancel Acquisition and Rehabilitation of vacant, foreclosed, or abandoned units in NSP3
target areas by developer(s) or subrecipient(s) to benefit families < 50% AMI ($830,232);
3. Create Redevelopment of vacant properties with residential units to benefit families <
120% AMI ($2,058,602);
4. Create Redevelopment of vacant properties with residential units to benefit families < 50%
AMI ($830,232).
The proposed changes would not affect the $332,093 designated for the demolition of vacant,
abandoned, or foreclosed properties, nor the $100,000 designated for program administration
that was part of the plan approved by the City Council in February 2011. The following table

This change shifts the focus from purchase and rehabilitation of existing residential units to
redevelopment of vacant properties; therefore, staff proposes to create one larger centrally-
located focused area of greatest need to replace the original three smaller NSP3 focused areas
which were more disbursed throughout the community. Such a change will better comply with
the intent of NSP3, which is to create a focused and measurable impact on the neighborhood in
which funds are spent. The revised NSP3 focused area of greatest need contains numerous
eligible vacant properties in Central Bakersfield, and is generally bound by Chester Avenue to
the west, 4th Street/Virginia Avenue to the south, the City Limits to the east, and 341h
Street/Bernard Street to the north. The focus area will allow the City the option of assisting vacant
properties in the Mill Creek and Baker Street areas to continue redevelopment efforts in those
areas which were impacted by the downturn of the development and lending markets.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 3
The RDA currently has planned the development of a multifamily project located at 20th street
near Park and recently released an RFP for a mixed use project located in the South Mill Creek
Development. It will be necessary to utilize the NSP funds to fill the financial gap for these
affordable housing projects to achieve their development. In addition, we are required to
create a total of 286 units of infill affordable housing in the Mill Creek Infill Area as a condition of
our Prop 1 C infrastructure grant. We currently have 70 family rental units and 14 family
townhomes for sale under construction. We expect to be under construction with an additional
67 senior rental units by year end. This leaves two rental projects to be completed to satisfy the
Prop 1 C requirements. NSP funds will be needed to accomplish this.
In compliance with NSP3 regulations, any significant change or addition to the Action Plan must
undergo an amendment process which includes obtaining citizen views and comments on the
proposed change for a period of 15 days. A notice was published on June 1, 2011 requesting
comments and to date no comments have been received.
The City will have until March 2013 to expend 50% of the funds, and all funds must be expended
by March 2014.
The Council is also requested to authorize the appropriation of $3,320,927 in Neighborhood
Stabilization Program funds to the operating budget in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program
Fund to assist with redevelopment or demolition of abandoned, foreclosed and vacant
residential properties as outlined by the NSP3 Substantial Amendment. Due to potential changes
to the City's NSP3 design, the City Council opted not to appropriate funds when the original NSP3
Substantial Amendment was approved by the City Council on February 16, 2011.

CITY MANAGE
Planning and Development Committee Majority and Minority Reports
Proposed Cash Subsidy for Purchasers of Newly Constructed Homes
rding a
RECOMMENDATION: The recommendations from the Planning and Development Committee
Majority and Minority Reports are as follows:
The Majority Report recommends: The City Council not adopt a pilot program to provide a cash
subsidy for purchasers of newly constructed homes in the amount of $2,500.00, available for a
maximum of 250 building permits.
The Minority Report recommends: The City Council adopt a pilot program to provide a cash
subsidy for purchasers of newly constructed homes in the amount of $2,500.00, available for a
maximum of 250 building permits.
Further details pertaining to both recommendations follow in the Majority and Minority Reports
included as attachments to this administrative report.
BACKGROUND:
During the past several months, the Planning and Development Committee has reviewed the
feasibility of providing incentives for new housing to spur the economy and create local jobs.
At the June 2, 2011 Planning and Development Committee, staff presented the attached report,
which includes information prepared by the National Association of Home Builders and the State
of California on local economic impact from new home construction. The two reports vary as to
the estimated monetary impact to local government per unit. The National Association of Home
Builders report estimates the total impact to local government per unit as $2,633.00. The State of
California report, which attempts to provide the "net impact" of new home construction when
weighed against the cost to provide services to the new homes is estimated at $1.021.00. The
two reports do show that there is an economic benefit, but determining the monetary amount of
the benefit is very difficult, as there are many variables to be considered.
rks
Admin-PandD-Majority-MinorityReports-NewHomeSubsidy-06171 l .docx
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The staff report to the Committee also cites various equity concerns, including that other
industries and purchasers of existing homes can also bring about a positive effect on the local
economy.
The staff report concludes that it would be necessary for the City Council to identify an amount
of funding to be set aside for the subsidy and to direct staff as to the specific amount to be
provided for each new home purchase and how to disperse those funds. Should the City
Council wish to proceed with the new housing subsidy, it will be necessary to adjust the budget
prioritizations and allocations that have already been presented in the proposed budget to the
City Council.
Staff Comments
In order to fund the proposal, as outlined in the Minority Report, the City Council will need to
designate an amount of $625,000.00, which is based on a $2,500.00 subsidy for a maximum of 250
building permits issued. In addition, the Council will need to authorize the reallocation of funding
from the budget that has been proposed for approval.
Staff has identified two possible options to provide the funding for the proposed New Home
Subsidy Program, if the City Council approves it.
Option #1
Funding that has been designated in the proposed FY 2011 /12 Budget for the following
items could be reallocated to the New Home Subsidy Program, in addition to a transfer of
budget savings from the Aera Park project:
One Additional Sworn Police Officer Position *
$ 98,000.00
Kern Economic Development Corporation Funding *
. 5,000.00

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Option #2
The proposed New Home Subsidy Program could be funded with additional sales tax
revenue. Staff cautions against this option, due to the uncertainty of State actions and
because the property tax and development related forecasts remain stagnant.
If the City Council approves the New Home Subsidy Program, appropriate action will also need
to be taken under the separate item on this agenda regarding the approval and adoption of
the FY 2011 /12 Budget.

Fiscal Year 2011-12 Budget:
DEPARTMENT HEAD
CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
1. Resolution Approving and Adopting the Operating and Capital Improvement
Budgets for the City of Bakersfield, California for the Fiscal Year 2011-12.
2. Resolution Approving and Adopting the Operating and Capital Improvement
Budgets for the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency for the Fiscal Year 2011-12.
3. Resolution Establishing the City of Bakersfield Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year
2011-12.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolutions which reflect the Staff Recommended Budget as
set forth in Exhibit "A".
BACKGROUND:
Attached are the resolutions adopting the Fiscal Year 2011-12 City of Bakersfield and
Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets which
totals $438,399,000.
The proposed budgets reflect the funding of the City's operating cost and the funding of
various capital improvements, including street and road resurfacing, park and recreation
facilities, and improvements to other City-owned facilities for the 2011-12 Fiscal Year.
The City of Bakersfield budgets total $420,969,105 with the Operating Budget, including
transfers, totaling $363,254,123 and the Capital Improvement Budget totaling $57,714,982.
The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency budgets total $17,429,895. The Capital
Improvement Program for FY 2011-12 does not contain any projects for the Bakersfield
Redevelopment Agency.
The proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Program budgets reflect changes, as
outlined in Exhibit "A" attached and explained below, from the Fiscal Year 2011-12
Proposed Budget presented to the City Council on May 4, 2011. These changes include
three Council-initiated changes and one staff technical change to the budget.

Page 2
The above-referenced changes are reflected in the Staff recommended City Operating
and Capital Improvement Program Budgets and are outlined as follows:
Fire, after the proposed budget was presented on May 4, 2011, the Finance Department
received updated figures related to Assessment District bonds. Due to interest earning
surplus and other factors, it is proposed to call various assessment district bonds totaling
$1,969,000. Said bond calls only impact the land of the property owner and do not
impact other City funds.
Impact Operating (Debt Service) budget appropriations will increase by $1,969,000.
Second, during the City Council meeting of May 18th, Councilmembers Couch and
Johnson requested staff look into funding an additional Police Service Technician or
Sworn Officer Position. Staff responded with a memo (enclosed) which identified funding
sources for one additional Sworn Officer Position.
Impact_ The total cost associated with this position for FY 2011-12 budgeting purposes is
$98,000. The net adjustment to operating budget is $70,000. Staff has proposed to partially
fund this position with council contingency funds in the amount of $28,000 already
accounted for in the proposed budget. The additional funds for the position ($70,000)
were identified in revised positive revenue projections for alarm permits and assessments
for weed abatement activities.
Third, Councilmember Johnson requested the City become a funding partner with Kern
Economic Development Corporation with an amount not to exceed $5,000.
Councilmember Weir subsequently requested staff provide the history of the City's
relationship with KEDC. A memo outlining the preceding is enclosed.
Imgact No adjustment to the overall budget amount. Staff proposes using $5,000 in
council contingency funds to support this request. This item does not result in a net
increase to the operating budget as proposed on May 4, 2011.
Fourth, Councilmember Hanson requested the City install streetlights in the Stockdale
Estates area as part of the FY 2011-12 Capital Improvement Program. Staff responded to
the request in an earlier memo (enclosed) and has found savings in current year CIP
projects to fund $15,000 for design of the streetlights. The remainder of the project is
scheduled to be included in FY 2012-13 CIP budget.
Impact: The CIP budget will be increased by $15,000 with the source of funds being
savings from current fiscal year CIP projects. No projects in the FY 2011-12 CIP were
impacted by the addition of this project.
New Home Subsidy Program
Councilmember Weir proposed a new home subsidy program where the City would pay
$2,500 to new homeowners. Under the proposed plan funding would be provided for the
Page 3
first 250 eligible applicants. The total amount of funding to pay for the program as
proposed would be $625,000. If Council approves this program, staff has identified two
funding scenarios:
• Scenario #1: Fund program completely with additional sales tax revenue; See
Exhibit "A". Note: Staff cautions the use of additional sales tax revenue as a funding
source due to the ongoing unrest at the State level and continuing stagnant
property tax and development-related revenue forecasts. Furthermore, the
additional sales tax revenues may be used as a source for any 'takes' by the State
at a future time.
• Scenario #2: Fund program through cuts to items currently included in the Staff
Recommended Budget; See Exhibit "B". Note: some items identified as funding
sources for the program were previously initiated by Councilmembers during the
current budgeting process.
Impact: If the new home subsidy program is approved, general fund expenditures will
increase by $625,000 over the proposed budget if no other reductions are made. If the
alternate funding sources are utilized, there would be no net impact to the proposed
budget as presented on May 4, 2011.
Appropriations Limit
The resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2011-12 Appropriations Limit of $285,466,741 is also
included with this Administrative Report for Council consideration and adoption as
required by State law. The City's appropriations which are subject to the limit total
$123,716,904. Therefore, the proposed appropriations are significantly below the
maximum limit allowed by State law.
State Legislative Update and Economic Environment Overview
It is important to note that as of the date of this report, the State budget was not adopted
by the statutorily required deadline. Therefore, the City's budget as proposed will likely be
subject to change as the State may consider a number of actions which will impact the
City including the possible elimination of the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency and the
reduction of booking fee reimbursements and COPS funding. A raid on City coffers by the
State is imminent, but the sources and to what extent are not precisely known at this time.
Staff will continue to monitor the Legislature's discussions in order to prepare for any
adjustments to the City's budget once the State budget is adopted.
Although some economic indicators, mainly local sales tax receipts, have shown signs of
positivity, it is noted that the current economic environment remains very unstable. Staff
does not expect the double-digit sales tax growth to continue in FY 2011-12 and notes
projected sales tax revenues for FY 2011-12 are on track to equal the actual sales tax
receipts for FY 2004-05. Additionally, property tax and other general fund revenue sources
(development fees, etc.) remain at historically low levels with no positive trending in sight.
Therefore, staff reiterates the need to move into FY 2011-12 cautiously.
