Item 8e. Ordinance amending the Municipal Code relating to fireworks. Several issues arose
regarding fireworks stands during the 2001 fireworks season requiring the need to make changes
to the ordinance. Staff met with the vendors and made amendments to the ordinance which
included: 1) permit applications will be submitted by the applicant organizations, not the fireworks
vendor; 2) the distance between stands will be measured from the closest point to closest point and
400 feet is established as the minimum distance between stands; and 3) the drawing method will
limit a nonprofit entity to one permit. If more than one application is submitted for the drawing using
the same tax-exempt status number, the application drawn first will be issued the permit. If at the
end of the drawing permits are still available, a supplemental drawing will be held under the same
terms and conditions. The Legislative and Litigation Committee recommended approval of the
ordinance change and forwarding to the City Council for first reading.
Item 8f.. Ordinance amending the Municipal Code relating to Policy and Application Process for
Maintenance Districts. On December 3, 2001 the Urban Development Committee discussed the
current ordinance, which requires the joining of a maintenance district as a development condition.
However, the current ordinance seems to exempt projects needing a Conditional Use Permit or Site
Plan Review. To clarify the existing ordinance and include all types of projects, the Urban
Development Committee approved a slight modification to the ordinance to eliminate inequities and
include in the maintenance district requirement for all new development projects that benefit from
landscaping in the public right-of-way and/or parks. The Urban Development Committee
recommended approval of the ordinance change and forwarding to the City Council for first reading.
Resolutions:
Item 8g. Resolution addinq territory, Area 1-28 (Truxtun Plaza East~ to the Consolidated
Maintenance District and oreliminarily adoptinq, confirmin(3 and aoorovin(3 the Public Works
Director's Reoort. A request has been received from the owner of the property to be included into
the Consolidated Maintenance District. The property is generally bounded by Truxtun Avenue on
the north, Truxtun Plaza East on the east, the Carrier Canal on the south and a line 570 feet westerly
of Truxtun Plaza East on the west. This area will be under the streetscape zone of benefit and will
be assigned a tier level when landscaping has been installed.
Item 8h. Assessment District No. 01-2 (Seven Oaks West II / River Walk / Southern Oaks).
Resolution preliminarily aoorovino Enoineer's Report and settino date for oublic hearinQ of orotests.
On October 3, 2001, the Council adopted a resolution approving the Boundary Map and Resolution
of Intention. The improvements include roadway and other related improvements to Stockdale
Highway, Ming Avenue, White Lane, Campus Park Drive, Old River Road and Mountain Vista Drive.
This resolution preliminarily approves the Engineer's Report and sets the date for the public hearing
of protests on February 6, 2002.
Item 8i Resolution authorizin(3 issuance and sale of General Oblioation Water Refunding Bonds.
Series 2001. In 1976, the City of Bakersfield issued the 1976 General Obligation Water Bonds for
the purpose of acquiring water rights on the Kern River. These bonds mature on December 15,
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
December 7, 2001
Page -3-
2006. As a result of lower interest rates, refinancing of these bonds will produce a savings of
between $45,000 and $50,000 per year over the remaining five years of the life of the bonds.
This resolution will: 1) authorize the issuance and sale of the refunding bonds to George K. Baum
& Company, the underwriter; 2) approve the Bond Purchase Agreement; 3) approve the Paying
Agent Agreement with U.S. Bank Trust National Association; 4) approve the Bond Counsel Services
Agreement with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP; 5) approve the Disclosure Counsel Services
Agreement with Pillsbury Winthrop LLP; 6) authorize preparation of the Preliminary Official
Statement; and 7) authorize the Finance Director to perform certain acts to consummate the
transaction.
Item 8i. Resolutions to aDOIv for State Park Bond Act of 2000 funds. In March 2000, California
Voters approved Proposition 12, the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Costal
Protection Bond Act of 2000. This act provides funding that includes per capita distributions to
agencies such as the City of Bakersfield. The State has notified the City that we will be receiving
funds from Proposition 12 in the form of block grants and per capita allocation including the
following: 1) Per Capita Grant Program for $1,357,000; 2) Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Urban Open Space
and Recreation Block Grant Program for $614,260; and 3) Application for Local Grant Project Funds
for $402,865 for a total of $2,374,125. The Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Grant Program requires a 3/7
match.
In order for the State to encumber these funds, they are requiring the City to submit authorizing
resolutions. The identification of specific projects is not required by the State at this time and the
issue of recommending specific projects was referred to the Community Services Committee by
Council on November 14, 2001.
Item 8k. Resolution suDDortin(~ the establishment of an off-road vehicle oark proximate to
Metrooolitan Bakersfield. On November 14, 2001, the Council approved a general plan amendment
to establish an open space area in the northeast. Only passive recreational uses will be permitted
within the area, which will preclude off-road vehicle use. In order to show a balanced interest for all
the existing recreational uses, this resolution expresses the City Council's desire to demonstrate an
active role for the establishment of a permanent off-road vehicle park. To provide an area for off-
road vehicle (CRV) usage, several square miles of property will be needed to establish a permanent
CRV park. It should be located proximate to Metropolitan Bakersfield and have paved public access.
The City and the County are eligible to receive funds for off-highway vehicle use and this resolution
includes a provision that the City will provide any assistance and support possible in order to
establish an CRV park.
Item 81. Resolution restructurin(] of the Composition of the Local Task Force for Solid Waste. The
California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 required the formation of a Local Task Force
(LTF) in each county for the purpose of solid waste management planning. In 1990, the LTF in Kern
County was created and is composed of ten positions representing the County, City of Bakersfield,
the Association of Cities, the hauling industry, along with small and large volume businesses. Due
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
December 7, 2001
Page -4-
to public input and difficulty in filling the small volume generator position, the LTF has approved a
change in the structure. The proposed changes include: 1) reduce the number of hauling industry
representatives to two, and add a recycling industry representative and 2) replace the large and
small volume waste generator representative positions with two members of the public at large, one
from universal collection area and one without universal collection service. The proposed changes
in structure require approval by resolution from a majority of the cities in Kern County.
Item 8m. Resolution aoorovina_ an Amended Emolovee's Deferred Comoensation Plan, authorizing
imolementation of the Plan and indemnifvina the City's Advisory Committee. Recently Congress
passed and the President signed changes to the laws governing Section 457 Deferred
Compensation Plans as part of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.
This new law makes a number of significant changes to Section 457 Plans (such as the City's
Deferred Compensation Plan).
Some of the more significant changes include increasing the maximum amount an employee in the
Plan may defer annually from the current $8,500 to $11,000 in the year 2002, plus $1,000 per year
up to $15,000 in the year 2006; then indexed in $500 increments. Catch-up contributions during the
three years prior to normal retirement age may be increased from $15,000 to twice the regular
elective deferral limit (e.g., $22,000 for the year 2002). This new law also permits employees who
turn age 50 or over during the calendar year to contribute an additional amount into the Plan for all
Plan years, except during the three years prior to normal retirement age while they are utilizing the
regular 457 Catch-up provision. This additional amount is $1,000 in the year 2002, increasing
$1,000 each year up to $5,000 in the year 2006, when the amount is then indexed in $500
increments.
However, employees will not yet be allowed to make the increased contributions until such time as
the State Legislature passes appropriate legislation to make California tax law comply with the new
federal law. It is anticipated that the State will act some time after it reconvenes in January. City
staff will inform City employees when this does occur so that employees who choose to increase
their contributions can do so at that time.
Item 8n. Amendment to Resolution setting Salaries and Related Benefits for the Temporary Unit
{Minimum Wage Salary Ad!ustment~. The California minimum wage will be changing from $6.25 to
$6.75 per hour effective January 1,2002. There are temporary employee classifications that will be
below minimum wage ($6.25) and need to be increased to minimum wage ($6.75) in order to be
competitive. The temporary classifications include: one Cashier in Recreation; three Clerical Aides
- one each in Executive, Finance and Police; and twenty Police Cadet positions. Currently, only the
20 Police Cadet positions ara filled.

Aereements:
Item 8o. Aqreement with AIIriaht Central ParkinQ. Inc. for manaclement services at the City's 18th
and Eve Street Parkinq Structure. Since January 1997, Allright Central Parking has had an
agreement with the City to operate the parking structure. That agreement was renewed once and
is set to expire on December 31, 2001. A request for proposals (RFP) was sent to 35 parking
management firms. Two proposals have been received. One from the current operator, AIIright,
and one from Parking Company of America (PCA). Although PCA management is less expensive,
their proposal was not as thorough in the aspects of their operation and management program.
AIIright has presented concepts to potentially enhance the operation and revenues of the parking
structure. Staff is recommending an agreement with AIIright Central Parking as their proposal more
closely followed the goals as outlined in the request for proposals.
Item 8a. Aareement with Eouilon Enterorises. LLC and North Kern Water Storaqe District to allow
discharae of treated aroundwater into the Callowav Canal System. This agreement will allow Equilon
to discharge treated groundwater from Equilon's Rosedale Highway refinery property into the
Calloway Canal system. The groundwater around Equilon's Rosedale refinery contains levels of
MTBE, the gasoline additive. Equilon has obtained a permit from the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board (Regional Board) to install a series of shallow wells to pump the water and
remove the MTBE. The water will be processed to a quality that is suitable for irrigation use, and the
Regional Board will allow the discharge into the canal, not to exceed 150 gallons per minute, which
is a very minor amount in irrigation flow terms. The City Water Board reviewed this agreement at
its special meeting on November 6, 2001 and recommended the approval of the agreement by the
City Council
Item 8r. Physical Assessment Contracts. The City offers a comprehensive physical assessment
program to Police and Fire Safety and Management personnel. Currently the assessments are
being performed by Bakersfield Occupational Medical Group. As the agreement was more than
seven years old, a new request for proposals was sent out. Five medical clinics responded. A panel
of City employees consisting of the Fire Chief, Police Chief, Risk Manager, Human Resources
Manager and Police Detective Harry Scott interviewed each of the clinics and conducted site
inspections at three of the locations.
Based on the proposals submitted, the panel recommends physical assessment contracts with
Central Valley Occupational Medical Group, Southwest Urgent Care Center and Williard B.
Christiansen, each for a three year term, with a one-year option. The current cost for a physical
assessment is $330. Staff is recommending an increase to $405 based upon the increase in
medical cost in recent years. Also recommended is adding an optional 02 uptake stress test at a
cost of $30, bringing the total cost of an assessment to $435. Staff estimates the annual cost of
assessments would go from approximately $15,000 per year to $22,500 per year. Funds are
available in the FY 2001-02 budget to cover the increase in costs this fiscal year.

to the lowest bidder, an appropriation and transfer of $5,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund balance to the
Public Works Department operating budget within the Equipment Management Fund will be needed.
Three bids were received and staff recommends appropriation and transfer of $5,000, and bid award
to Applied Technology Group in the amount of $30,206.10.
Miscellaneous:
Item 8x. Appropriate $28,000 Transportation Development Act Article 3 Funds to the Capit~l
Improvement Budqet within the Bikeway and Pedestrian Pathway Fund for the University Avenue,
Bike Lane Proiect. The TDA Article 3 Pedestrian Bikeway Program includes $28,000 for the
University Avenue Bike Lanes Project. Specifically this project consists of striping the bike lanes on
University Avenue between Haley Street and Wenatchee Avenue. TDA funds are available to be
appropriated for the project.
Item 8v. Relocation of City Recreation and Parks Department offices and authorization for the Ci~,~
Real Property Manager to negotiate lea~e te[ms, For several years, the Recreation and Parks
Department has needed office space that is more accessible and convenient to citizens, as well as
accommodating the current staff.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
December 7, 2001
Page -7-
On November 14, 2001, the City Council approved the relocation of the Economic and Community
Development Department to the Washington Mutual Bank Building at 1675 Chester Avenue. This
building has an additional 11,000 square feet of space available for lease. The Recreation and
Parks Department needs approximately 10,000 square feet. Although the available space is spread
over three floors, it would be suitable for the department and solve many of the problems associated
with the current location. The lease price is estimated at $1.45 per square foot. Using this cost, the
department estimates this space would cost approximately $150,000 annually. Funds have been
identified in this fiscal year, as well as potential funding for upcoming years that should be sufficient
for the lease payments without reducing service levels to the public. The current adopted budget
includes $45,000 for new office space. These funds should be sufficient to cover one-time expenses
associated with the relocation.
Item 8z. Audit Reports. The Finance Director has received several financial audit reports resulting
from the City's annual audit. Staff recommends referral of these audit documents to the Budget and
Finance Committee.
REPORTS
Item 10a. Water Board Report No. 2-01 regarding an amendment to the City Water Resources
Policy. During the budget hearings this year, it was suggested by Councilmember Couch that the
Water Board review alternative uses of funding once the 1976 Water Bond debt has been paid off.
The original "Statement of Water Resources Policy" was adopted by the City Council in 1992. Staff
was directed by the City Water Board on July 11, 2001 to prepare an additional statement to the
Water Resources Policy to address this issue. The City Water Board reviewed the policy addition
on November 6, 2001 and recommended acceptance of the report and adoption of the amended

Ordinance Amending Chapter 8.44 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code Relating to Fireworks.
RECOMMENDATION: First Reading.
BACKGROUND:
Several problems arose in administering the fireworks ordinance during the 2001 season:
A vendor, filing applications for their customers - the nonprofit groups, filed five unauthorized
applications. Had this not been detected, permits would have been used by organizations other than
those to which permits had been issued.
A distance of at least 600 feet is required between stands. The ordinance does not specify how the
distance is to be measured nor does it provide for establishing priority between applicants whose
location violates the distance requirement.
The ordinance has been incorrectly interpreted to mean an organization could be a group of at least
35 members within a nonprofit entity resulting in a few situations where a single nonprofit holds two
permits. Staff feels this is not consistent with the ordinance nor in the interest of fairness to other
nonprofits seeking only one permit.
City staff drafted amendments to the ordinance to correct these problems and subsequently met with the
vendors who made recommendations that are now included in the amendments. The following is a summary
of the proposed amendments.
Permit applications will be submitted by the applicant organizations - not the fireworks vendors. The
application period changes to Mamh 1s~ through March 31st. Renewal applications (those that had permits
prior to the amendment linking the total number of permits issued to a population formula) are to be complete
packages whereas drawing applications need only include evidence of nonprofit status and a bona fide
C:\Documents and Settings~kgearhar~Admin - OrdinanceAmendment.wpd
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
membership list of at least 35. The time for the "drawing" is no later than April 10~ of each year. Successful
drawing applicants will have until May 15th to find a stand location and complete their application.
The distance between stands will be measured from closest point to closest point and 400 feet is established
as the minimum distance between stands. Groups retuming to their previously approved plot plan location
will be given priority. If two or more applications for a new stand location are within 400 feet, preference will
be determined by a drawing.
In the event more than one application is submitted for the drawing by an applicant using the same State of
California or federal tax - exempt status determination letter (identification number), drawing of the first
application utilizing this letter renders the remaining applications utilizing the same letter ineligible for a permit
from the initial drawing. This drawing method will limit a nonprofit entity to one permit. If at the end of the
drawing, permits are still available, a supplemental drawing will be held under the same terms and conditions
of the initial drawing in which previously ruled ineligible applications will be entered. This process of
supplemental drawings will continue until all permits are drawn or until the applications are exhausted.
The amended ordinance prohibits advertising and display of merchandise (fireworks) on the roof of the stand
and sales of other items including food and beverages at the stand location. Canopies and awnings that
conform to the Uniform Fire Code can be used as shading devices at stands subject to certain limitations.
These amendments were discussed at the Legislative and Litigation Committee meetings on October 22 and
November 19, 2001. The committee approved submitting the amendments to Council for first reading.

First reading of an O~:dinance Amending Chapters 13.04.021 and 13.04.022 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code relating to Policy and Application Process for Maintenance Districts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Urban Development. Co,~mil:.,t~ee
recommends first reading of [ne oro~nance.
BACKGROUND:
On December 3, 2001, the Urban Development Committee discussed Bakersfield Municipal Code
Chapter 13.04 which requires the joining of a maintenance distdct as a development condition. The current
Ordinance requires the formation of a maintenance distdct for developments that benefit from landscaping
in the public right-of-way and/or public parks. However, the application of the Ordinance appears to exempt
projects needing a Conditional Use Permit or Site Plan Review. To clarify the existing Ordinance and include
all types of projects, the Urban Development Committee approved a slight modification to the Ordinance to
eliminate inequities in development projects. As such, the attached Ordinance revision is submitted for first
reading.

Resolution of Intention No. 1261 to add territory, Area 1-28 (Truxtun Plaza East) to the
Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public
Works Director's Report. (Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City Engineer from the owner of Parcel B of Lot
Line Adjustment No. 249, 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 median and street landscaping. Area 1-28 is generally bounded by Truxtun Avenue on the
north, Truxtun Plaza East on the east, the Carrier Canal on the south and a line 570 feet westerly of Truxtun
Plaza East on the west. This area will be under the streetscape zone of benefit and will be assigned an
appropriate tier level when 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 his 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/developer to be recorded with any future subdivision maps.
A copy of this covenant is attached for reference.

Per Capita Grants and Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Urban Open Space and Recreation Block Grant
Program funds are allocated to cities, counties, and park and recreation districts on a population-
based formula. The Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Grant Program raquiras a 3/7 match from private or non-
State sources. Upon receipt of the contracts and identification of projects, the Recreation and Parks
Department will request an appropriation of funds for the match. Due to an error in the language of
the State Park Bond Act of 2000, six cities in California including the City of Bakersfield were
allocated Local Grant Project funds through a population-based formula to correct this discrepancy.
In order for the State to encumber these funds, they ara requiring the City to submit authorizing
resolutions. The identification of specific projects is not required by the State at this time and the
issue of recommending specific projects was referred to the Community Service Committee by
Council on November 14, 2001.

Resolution supporting the establishment of an off-road vehicle park proximate to
Metropolitan Bakersfield. (City-wide)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On November 14, 2001, the City of Bakersfield approved a General Plan Amendment to establish an open
space area in northeast Bakersfield. Only passive recreational uses will be permitted within the area which
will preclude off-road use in the area. In order to show a balanced interest for all the existing recreational
uses of the northeast area, the City Council wishes to demonstrate an active role for the establishment of
permanent off-road vehicle park. Toward this end, the Council will participate and coordinate with the County
of Kern as they are able to help in this worthy effort.

Restructuring of the Composition of the Local Task Force for Solid Waste
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
BACKGROUND: The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Assembly Bill 939) required the
formation of a Local Task Force (LTF) in each county for the purpose of solid waste management planning.
The LTF in Kern County was created in 1990, and is currently composed of ten positions representing the
County of Kern, the City of Bakersfield, the Association of Cities, and the hauling industry, along with small
and large volume businesses as concerned waste generators. Due to public input asking for less
representation from the hauling industry and more from the recycling industry, and due to difficulty in filling
the small volume generator position, the LTF has approved a change in the structure. The proposed change
is twofold:
1. Reduce the number of hauling industry representatives to two, and add a recycling industry
representative.
2. Replace the large and small volume waste generator representative positions with two members
of the public at large, one each from areas with and without universal refuse collection service.
The proposed change in LTF structure requires approval by resolution from a majority of the cities in Kern
County. The proposed change does not alter the City's representation on the LTF. Staff therefore
recommends approval of the proposed change as requested by the LTF.

A Resolution approving an Amended Employees' Deferred Compensation Plan,
authorizing implementation of the Plan and indemnifying the City's Advisory
Committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
staff recommends adoption of resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Recently the Congress passed and the President signed changes to the laws governing Section
457 Deferred Compensation Plans as part of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of
2001 (EGTRRA). This new law makes a number of significant changes to Section 457 Plans (such as the
City of Bakersfield's Deferred Compensation Plan).
Some of the more significant changes include increasing the maximum amount an employee in the
Plan may defer annually from the current $8,500 to $11,000 in the year 2002, plus $1,000 per year up to
$15,000 in the year 2006, then indexed in $500 increments. Catch-up contributions during the three years
prior to normal retirement age may be increased from $15,000 to twice the regular elective deferral limit.
(e.g., $22,000 for the year 2002.)
EGTRRA permits employees who turn age 50 or over during the calendar year to contribute an
additional amount into the Plan for all Plan years, except during the three years prior to normal retirement
age while they are utilizing the regular 457 Catch-up provision. The additional amount is $1,000 in the year
2002, increasing $1,000 each year up to $5,000 in the year 2006, when the amount is then indexed in $500
increments. EGTRRA also allows portability of retirement assets to and from certain retirement plans. In
addition, EGTRRA provides for a number of technical changes which include the relaxing of certain
distribution rules, provisions relating to mandatory cashouts, and various other provisions. The only
provision of EGTRRA not offered under the City's Plan is the option to allow participants to contribute to
an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) under the Plan.
DEC13CA.CC
December 3, 2001, 3:12pm
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
However, before employees are allowed to make the increased contribution amounts or catch-up
contributions allowed under EGTRRA, California tax law will need to be updated. The International City
Managers Association (ICMA) (which, along with National Deferred, administer the City's Deferred
Compensation Plan), recommends that cities update their 457 Plans now in order to complywith EGTRRA,
as the federal law is effective January 1, 2002, and many of the changes are mandatory. However,
employees will not yet be allowed to make the increased contributions until such time as the State
Legislature passes, and the Governor signs, appropriate legislation to make California tax law comply with
the new federal law. It is anticipated that the state will act some time after it reconvenes in January. City
staff will inform City employees when this does occur so that employees who choose to increase their
contributions can do so at that time.

Although most of our Temporary employees are employed by a temporary help agency, there may come a
time when the City of Bakersfield might need to hire them directly. Staff recommends Council approval of

Agreement with AIIright Central Parking, Inc. for management services at the City's 18'h and
Eye Street Parking Structure. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staffrecommendsapproval.
BACKGROUND:
AIIright Central (AIIright) has been the parking operator at the 18~h and Eye Street Parking Structure since
January 1, 1997. The agreement with AIIright was renewed in January 1999, and pursuant to the contract
is now set to expire on December 31, 2001.
In September 2001, Economic and Community Development staff initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP)
process for firms interested in the management, operation and marketing of the parking structure to submit
proposals. To ensure a competitive bid process the RFP was sent to 35 parking management firms. On
October 12, two proposals were received from AIIright and Parking Company of America (PCA).
The RFP was written with the decision to recommend an award based on the following goals:
1. To create a responsive administrative structure for the parking structure,
2. To strive to serve the parking needs of all user groups,
3. To promote a safe, user-friendly, convenient, and well-maintained parking structure, and
4. To develop and provide a parking system that is both affordable for the various users as well as
self-sustaining.
In addition to these goals, staff reviewed the implementation program for each company's management and
operational strategy which contained the following components:

Fee
Allright has reduced their monthly service charge by increasing the incentive bonus from 300 spaces to 325
spaces. During AIIright's tenure as the parking structure's operator the firm has diligently and responsibly
carried out its contractual duties. Affright has a comprehensive familiarity with the garage operation, with
City's staff, the local businesses and their clients. The garage has been safe, profitable, well maintained and
has met the varying needs of the City. Since 1997, AIIright has increased revenues from $74,500.00 to
$96,250.00.
After evaluating the two proposals staff is recommending the City continue to contract with AIIright. Although
Parking Company of America management is less expensive, their proposal was not as thorough in the
aspects of their operation and management program. Allright has presented concepts to potentially enhance
the operation and the revenues. These ideas include updating uniforms, enhancing the current revenue
control equipment, utilize a newer, more extensive reporting system, reducing labor costs and expanding off-
peak marketing of the facility.
The important business terms of the proposed Agreement with AIIright Central, Inc. are:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Four year agreement renewable after the first two years for another two years
The Management Fee and Incentive Fee structure specified above.
The necessary City insurance requirements have been incorporated into the Agreement.
A Customer/Public Relations and Promotional/Marketing Program has been incorporated into the
Aqreement.
No other substantive changes are included in the Agreement as compared with the current Agreement.

Agreement with Equilon Enterprises, LLC and North Kern Water Storage District to Altow
Discharge of Treated Groundwater into the Calloway Canal System (Ward
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.
BACKGROUND: This agreement will allow Equilon Enterprises LLC to discharge treated groundwater, from
Equilon's Rosedale Highway refinery property, into the Calloway Canal system. Equilon recognizes that
certain shallow groundwater in and around its Rosedale refinery contains levels of the contaminant methyl
tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), a compound that is added to gasoline to make gasoline bum cleaner. Equilon has
obtained a permit from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) to install a
sedes of shallow wells to pump the contaminated water out and remove the MTBE. The water will be
processed to a quality that is suitable for use as an irrigation supply. The instantaneous flow rate is not to
exceed 150 gallons per minute, a very minor amount in irrigation flow terms. The Regional Board will allow
the discharge to the canal absent other flows, thus returning the processed water to the groundwater through
seepage in the unlined canal. When other water is transported in the canal, the mixed product will be used
for irrigation deliveries north of Bakersfield. The Calloway Canal system is owned by the North Kern Water
Storage District and the City owns 50% capacity rights to transport water in the canal system.
This agreement references Federal, State and local permitting, water quality monitoring, City indemnifl~.atlon,
liability, termination and any new water quality standard or provision pertaining to discharging into the
Calloway Canal System, whether in existence on the date of this agreement is executed or at any subsequent
time. A annual monitoring fee is being assessed on Equilon. The collected fee is split between the City and
North Kern based on annual flow rates of each in the canal system. This agreement is effective at the time
of signature by the City and is in effect until and including December 31, 2010. In addition, provisions for
suspension or termination, with just cause, may be invoked upon forty-eight (48) hours notice, for such items
as water quality deficiencies or failure to maintain State or Federal permits.
The City Water Beard reviewed this agreement at its special meeting on November 6, 2001. The Water Board
approved and recommended approval by the City Council.

CITY ATI'ORNEY ~
CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield offers a comprehensive physical assessment program to Police and Fire Safety
personnel and Management personnel. The physical assessments are optional and results of the assessment
are confidential and for the individual employee's use only. The purpose of the assessment is to identify dsk
factors and educate employees on lifestyle changes to reduce' these risks. This will help reduce health care
and workers' compensation costs to the city.
Currently, the physical assessments are being performed by Bakersfield Occupational Medical Group (BOMG).
As the agreement with BOMG is more than seven years old, a new request for proposal was issued.
The following medical clinics responded to the Request for Proposal:
2.
3.
4.
5.
Central Valley Occupational Medical Group, Inc.,
Southwest Urgent Care Center
Williard B. Christiansen, M.D., Inc.

A panel of city employees interviewed each of the clinics that responded to the Request for Proposal. The
panel consisted of Patrick Flaherty, Risk Manager; Ron Fraze, Fire Chief; Carroll Hayden, Human Resources
Manager; and Harry Scott, Police Detective. A site inspection was also performed at three of the clinics.
Based on the proposals submitted, the interviews with each provider, and the site inspections, the panel
recommends Central Valley Occupational Medical Group, Southwest Urgent Care Center, and Williard B.

Christiansen, M.D., Inc., be selected to provide phySical assessments. The selection of three clinics will give
employees a choice of clinics to utilize and should help increase participation in the program.
The cost of the current physical assessment is $330. We recommend the cost of the assessment be
increased to $405. The increase is based upon the increase in medical cost in recent years. We would also
recommend offering an 02 uptake to the stress test portion of the physical assessment, on an optional basis.
This is a precedure that was recommended by the physicians, especially for fire personnel. If an employee
elected to undergo the 02 uptake, the increase would be $30, bringing the total cost of the physical
assessment to $435.
There are three separate contracts recommended for approval. Each contract has a term of three years, with
a one-year option. Because each contract provides for physical assessments on a per unit basis, the total
cost of the contract is unknown. However, in FY 00-01 about $15,000 was expended for physical
assessments. Therefore, staff estimates that even with increased participation by employees of 50%, the
annual cost of assessments would be approximately $22,500. Funds are available in the FY 01-02 budget
to cover the increase in costs this fiscal year. Depending upon participation in the program, staff would
request an increase in the risk management budget next year to cover increased costs for the assessments.

Station 1 and CBK Station 5 Facility Upgrade" for the Water Resources Depa~ment ~ard
Number 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends acceptance
BACKGROUND: CBK Station One is located at the northwest comer of Clubview Drive and Ashe Road.
It was the first domestic water facility owned and operated within the Ashe Water System. It was constructed
in the early 1960's. Since that time, much of the equipment has become energy inefficient and difficult to
repair due to lack of repair par~s. CBK Station Five is located on Rio Bravo Drive next to the Park Stockdale
Homeowners Association Facility. CBK Station Five was constructed in the early 1970's and it's equipment
has also become energy inefficient and difficult to repair due to lack of repair parts. In addition, the
equipment is not housed in a secure building. This contract includes demolition of the existing facilities and
construction of concrete blockhouses and replacement of electric panelboards, auxiliary power supplies, and
appurtenant equipment. The existing deepwells will be utilized. Funds are available in the 2001-2002 fiscal
year budget for this project.
Four Bids were received on November 28, 2001 for this project. The results are as follows:

Relocation of City Recreation and Parks Department Offices (VVard 2) and authorization for
the City's Real Property Manager to negotiate lease terms.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval
BACKGROUND:
For several years, the Department of Recreation and Parks has needed office space that is more
accessible and convenient to citizens conducting business with the department, as well as
accommodating the current staff.
The Economic and Community Development Department has located potential space for their offices
at the Washington Mutual Bank Building at 1675 Chester Avenue. On November 14, 2001, the city
council approved the relocation of the ED/CD offices and for the Real Property Manager to negotiate
a lease. This building has approximately 11,000 square feet of space available for lease, in addition
to the space that ED/CD is considering.
The department has estimated its space needs at approximately 10,000 square feet. Although the
available space at the Washington Mutual building is spread over three floors, it would be suitable
for the department and solve many of the problems associated with the current location. For
example:

the Corporation Yard location is not suitable for a customer-service office, especially given
the volume of transactions the department handles.
citizens report that the current location is confusing (i.e when they see the heavy equipment,
etc. they believe that they are in the wrong location).
having a large number of non-employees and non-employee vehicles in the Corporation
Yard is not a good situation from a security standpoint.
parking for both the public and city staff is inadequate.
the current building is very near both the railroad tracks and the yard-waste sump. Both are
very distracting to staff attempting to conduct business and serve the public.
the HVAC system is inadequate and inefficient.
the existing meeting space is inadequate for the public meetings the department's advisory
committees host (e.g. Citizens Community Services Advisory Committee, Keep Bakersfield
Beautiful, and the Tree Ad-Hoc Committee).
the existing space is not sufficient for the current staff; necessitating the leasing of two office
trailers and having some staff in satellite facilities.
the existing space is unsuitable for current operations (e.g. no work space for recreation
program preparation or park planning activities).
In addition to resolving the issues mentioned above, locating at the Washington Mutual Building
would effectively consolidate city service departments into one central location, which would further
enhance the city's service delivery to the public. The proximity to both City Hall and the Development
Services Department would also be more efficient for the department operations.
In the ED/CD proposal to the council, the lease price was estimated at $1.45 per square foot. Using
this cost, the department estimates that needed space would cost approximately $150,000 annually.
Staff has identified funds in this fiscal year, as well as potential funding for upcoming years that
should be sufficient for the lease payment without reducing service levels to the public. The
proposed funding includes savings in unexpended recreation program money which is available due
to program changes, reduction in staff training funds, savings from office trailer rental, and new
revenue. The current adopted budget includes $45,000 for new office space. These funds should
be sufficient to cover one-time expenses associated with the relocation.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND: The TDA Article 3 Pedestrian Bikeway Program includes $28,000 for the University
Avenue Bike Lanes Project. Specifically this project consists of the striping of bike lanes on University Avenue
between Haley Street and Wenatchee Avenue. This administrative report appropriates TDA funds available
for the project.

Proposed funding of the lease is as follows:
FY01-02 FY02-03
(5 months)
Savings from rental office trailers $4,000 $12,000
Savings from canceled programs $3,000
Savings in after-school program $13,000 $15,000,
Reduction in staff training budget $30,000 $30,000
Reduction in advertising $2,000
Revenue from concession agreement $10,000
Reduction in one-time equipment expenditures $30,000
Reduction in miscellaneous operational expenses $63,000
Total $62,000 $150,000
Should both departments be able to locate in this building, there is potential for some shared meeting space,
which could reduce the amount of space each department would have to lease independently and some
benefit in the costs and coordination of locating phone and computer lines. Further, the Real Property
Manager has indicated that negotiating leases for both departments simultaneously may result in a more
favorable lease for both departments.
Staff is proposing lease terms similar to those that ED/CD proposed. That is, a three-year lease with an
option for a two-year extension and that the departments relocation occur at a time that compliments the
ED/CD relocation.

Water Board Report No. 2 - 01 regarding an amendment to the City Water Resources Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends acceptance of Report and adoption of amended Policy Statement.
BACKGROUND:
During the budget hearings this year it was suggested by councilmember David Couch that the Water
Board should review alternative uses of funding once the 1976 Water Bond debt has been paid off. The issue
was first brought before the Water Board on July 11, 2001 and staff was directed to prepare an additional
statement to the Water Resources Policy to address this issue.
The City Council adopted the original"Statement of Water Resources Policy" on November 4, 1992.
The attached Water Board Report recommends the addition of a new policy item addressing the financial
resources necessary to preserve and administer the existing water policies.
The City Water Board reviewed this policy addition at its special meeting on November 6, 2001. The
Water Board approved the proposed amendment and recommended adoption of the amended Water
Resources Policy by the City Council.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that after a brief presentation, general discussion and comment take place on ti~e subject
of advancing Council goals.
BACKGROUND / STATUS:
Does a Council commitment to this area remain? If so, what ideas should be explored? Without the
specifics of the "City Center" as has been discussed, what type of redevelopment activities, ideas and
funding sources should be studied?
The staff believes we should to take lessons frem the past - rethink positives and negatives, and devise a
new path to advance our community.
This meeting was to have been the session when Certificates of Participation (COPs) were issued, a
contract let to build the stadium, and land acquisition actions would be taken. Those items were dependent
upon the Olmscheid/Sivers group delivering loan commitments. While they techni(~all~, have until December
18th, it does not appear that will happen. Ray Olmscheid, Dennis Sivers, and Moctezuma Esparza have
spent a great deal of time, money, and effort trying to put a deal together in Bakersfield. They are due a
strong thank you for their efforts and expenditures. The most recent word from them is they wish to
continue to try without a development agreement. Perhaps time or shifts in the lending market will help
them. We applaud their continued interest in investing in Bakersfield.
With no loans, the Certificates of Participation are not on the agenda for action, without that - no stadium,
without that - no team sale, no land purchases, etc. All elements of the deal depend on all other elements.
Without any one of them, none of the pieces remain in place for the short term.
Unless the loan documents are submitted by December 18th, the Development Agreement will expire. The
proper question, therefore, becomes what does that mean, and what happens next?

Among other goals, the City Council has established the following:
"Continue to build on the success of the Convention Center Hotel, Centennial Garden and Amtrak
Station." -
"Develop concepts for projects which contain the following elements: entertainment, trees,
landscaping, family activities, pedestrian friendly design, safety, attractiveness."
"Clear blight from the redevelopment areas around the Arena, Amtrak Station and Hotel."
"Encourage water features in the downtown."
"F '
ocus on ~mprovements and opportunities within the Southeast and Old Town Kem Redevelopment
Project Areas, and the Incentive Area."
"Continue a program that focuses on job creation."
"Facilitate the development of cultural and recreational facilities
A. Multi-purpose stadium
E. Ice skating facility and community recreation building"
F. Aquatics facilities
Positives
in pursuit of these goals, the City Center / Creekside Plaza project has resulted in the following positives:
1) We have a quality stadium design, a world class design/build team for a multi-purpose
stadium, and a favorable Guaranteed Maximum Price in hand.
2)
3)
We have a willing seller of the baseball franchise, a list of interested buyers who are willing
to invest in the stadium and a highly cooperative California League.
$500,000 has been committed by the community to fund an ice rink. That commitment
remains in place.
4) We have an approved EIR and Redevelopment Plan to facilitate ~einvestment.
A podion of the original project - 180 units of elderly housing with an increase in tax value
(portion originally dedicated to stadium only) of $92,763 is moving forward. Land is now
being acquired and relocation should begin after proper notice. That will clean up three
blocks south of California Avenue. It also would provide 13% of the tax base needed to
amortize the stadium debt.
6)
Evolving out of citizen participation was a plan to enhance the canal in a very attractive way.
The concept of restaurants along that waterway is an idea that would work and be a
significant amenity.
7) Four of the properties on the stadium site have signed acquisition agreements. Four others
have been agreed to in terms of major deal points and are in the hands of attorneys for

finalization. (Three need substantive work.)
Progress has been made in acquiring several of the blighted properties in the areas around
the Arena, Amtrak Station, and Hotel.
9)
10)
The stadium financing plan developed is a very favorable one.
We have a site that is adjacent to the Arena, Amtrak Station, Convention Center and Hotel
which is appropriate for redevelopment. It is centrally located, with street systems and
utilities in place, and is in an Enterprise Zone and tax increment area. It should be ripe for
redevelopment.
11)
The concept of the project has broad-based support, and multiple community organizations
have endorsed it.
After general discussion at this meeting and after December 18t", staff will attempt to compile information
for future City Council/Redevelopment Agency consideration on alternative areas of study about the pursuit
of City Council goals in this area. It would be helpful for us to have some general comments from
Councilmembers at this session, and Agency members from their session to be held on December 10t", to
give us direction in preparing that work.
