AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
September 12, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING
REGULAR MEETING - 5:15 mm.
Item 6a. Staff will present an update on the phased implementation plan for the citywide
curbside recycling program.
Two TRIP projects on the east side of the city are advancing towards the construction stage,
the widening of State Route 178 and the Morning Drive /SR 178 interchange project. Of
significance on this agenda are the following items:
Item Sr. Engineering ring Design Agreement for the SR -178 Widening Proiect. This project to
widen SR -178 to six lanes from Canteria Drive to Masterson Street, and four lanes from
Masterson Street to Miramonte Drive, is ready for final design. Seven firms responded to the
RFP for engineering design services, and the selection committee interviewed three firms,
based on their review of the proposals. T.Y. LIN International was selected as the most
qualified firm, and the cost of the project was then negotiated in accordance with federal
procurement procedures by the Public Works TRIP staff. Staff recommends approval of the
proposed agreement with T.Y. LIN in the amount of $2,690,000, funded by 88.53% federal and
11.47° non - federal local match funding which has previously been budgeted.
Item 8s. Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans for Construction of the SR- 178 /Morning Drive
Interchange Project. The right -of -way acquisition and final design continues on this project
as it moves closer to actual construction. Approval of this agreement is a necessary
requirement in obtaining the federal funds to move forward with construction.
There are two separate, but related, agenda items pertaining to the Federal and State grant
funding that will enable the BPD to hire 11 new police officers in FY 2012/13:
Item 8Jj. A federal COPS Hiring Program grant in the amount of $1,375,000 was awarded to
the BPD in late June to hire and retain 11 new officers over a 3 -year period. The majority of
the local match for the 3 years, $1,969,000, will be provided from a state funding grant, in
addition to Asset Forfeiture funding. This action requests an appropriation of $160,000 of the
federal funding to the Police Operating Budget for the first year costs to hire the 11 officers.
A related Council action for approval of the State portion of the funding will take place
under Consent Calendar Public Hearings and is summarized under the following item, 9b.
Item 9b. The BPD receives annual grant funding from the State Supplemental Law
Enforcement Services Fund; for FY 2012/13, the allocation is $537,552.97. As part of the State
requirements, the funding must be specifically encumbered for "front line law enforcement
services" and "shall supplement existing services ". This action requests Council approval for
appropriation of this year's allocation to the Police Operating Budget. In addition, the list of
specific uses described in the Administrative Report will serve as the written request to the
City Council for designation of the funding, as required by the State. It includes $400,000 for
the match to the federal COPS grant monies to hire the 11 new police officers for the first
year of the 3 -year period, as referenced, under Item 8h above.
There will be a conference with legal counsel regarding one matter of potential litigation.

First reading of Ordinance amending Section 2.04.010 of the Bakersfield Municipal
Code relating to City Council meeting times. (All wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
As the new year approaches, it is time to schedule the times and dates for the 2013 Regular City
Council Meetings.
At the suggestion of staff, and a few Councilmembers, it has been asked if the 2013 Regular
City Council Meetings could begin earlier than 5:15 pm. It has been suggested that the
Meetings start at 3:30 p.m. at which time the Council would handle closed session and possibly
informational workshop /report items. A brief recess would occur and Council meetings would
resume at 5:15 p.m. to address the remainder of the agenda which normally receive the bulk of
public participation.
This proposal, with a modified agenda and order of business, is expected to benefit the public,
staff and the City Council as follows:
• The public would not be inconvenienced while waiting during Closed Session for Council to
reconvene the meeting before their item of business is to be acted upon.
• Moving the Closed Sessions to 3:30 p.m. allows staff not involved in Closed Session matters to
use their time performing city functions, promoting an efficient use of their time, and they
would arrive as needed at the 5:15 p.m. session.
• Council Members, including the Mayor, could arrive at a later time when their presence is
not required for closed session matters.
• Agenda items of most interest to the public will be addressed at 5:15 p.m., thereby ensuring
public access to City business.
• In the interest of public participation, citizens will have the opportunity to make public
statements at either the 3:30 p.m. or 5:15 p.m. sessions.
Staff believes this proposal promotes the efficient use of City staff time and the public's need to
participate in government matters.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
If Council is amenable to a revised time, this Ordinance will repeal the code section identifying
the 5:15 p.m. time and a Council Policy Resolution can be prepared setting the new time.

Rosedale Highway, west of Calloway Drive to Ward 4. (Wards 3 & 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance amends the ward boundaries to include Annexations 635 and 637 into their

Annexation No. 637 is located along the north side of Rosedale Highway west of Calloway
Drive. The annexation territory includes 4 parcels and the right -of -way for Rosedale Highway

SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by
changing the zone district from M -1 (Light Industrial) to C -C (Commercial Center)
on approximately one acre, located along the north side of 20th Street between
V Street and the Kern Island Canal. (ZC #12-0085, City of Bakersfield and
California Water Service, the property owner's). (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on August 15, 2012.
The project consists of three parcels east of Central Park in downtown Bakersfield. Most of the
property is owned by the City of Bakersfield (approximately 0.83 acres) and is undeveloped. A
neighboring parcel to the west is also included in the proposal, which contains a water well
site owned and operated by the California Water Service Company.
The City initiated the zone change to allow future development of a low income veteran's
housing on the project site. This project would be a continuation of the housing envisioned
along the Mill Creek Linear Park.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this Zone Change on June
21, 2012, and recommended approval to the City Council. No individuals or agencies were
present at the hearing that opposed the request.
Staff determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, a Notice of Exemption was prepared, in accordance with CEQA.

SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinance approving a Negative Declaration and amending Title 17
of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zone district from E (Estate) to
C -2 /PCD (Regional Commercial /Planned Commercial Development) on 18.15
acres, located along the north side of Snow Road approximately 800 feet east of
Jewetta Avenue. (ZC #12 -0124, Jim Marino, representing Todd Sweaney, the
property owner). (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on August 15, 2012.
The proposal is to change the land use designation and zoning to accommodate development
of a 368,647 square foot self- storage facility. It is anticipated that the project will be constructed
in three phases. The first phase includes an on -site manager's residence /office, landscaped
street frontage, storage buildings along the south quarter of the site and the entire perimeter,
and a temporary storage area for recreational vehicles with portable carports over a thick
gravel dust binder.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this Zone Change on June 21,
2012, and recommended approval to the City Council. Neighboring property owners spoke in
opposition to the proposed site plan. These individuals expressed concerns that the proposed 8-
foot high stucco wall would not be aesthetically pleasing and requested that the applicant
provide additional landscaping to screen the stucco wall from their view. Since review of the
development plan (PD Review 12 -0124) is a separate action independent of the general plan
amendment and zone change, the development plan was removed from consideration by the
Commission to allow the applicant time to meet with the neighboring property owners to discuss
suitable landscaping to screen the stucco wall. The parties have since met and have agreed to
a landscape design that addresses the concerns. The revised development plan will be
considered by the Commission at a public hearing on September 6, 2012.

Various studies were conducted as part of the environmental review. These include traffic, air
quality, greenhouse gas emissions and cultural resources. As a result of those studies, associated
mitigation measures are proposed for this project. The applicant has agreed to all conditions
and mitigation for the project.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a
significant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Negative Declaration was prepared and
posted on February 22, 2012, in accordance with CEQA.

The applicant proposes to amend the City of Bakersfield Zoning Ordinance to accommodate
retail commercial development that will include approximately 200,000 square feet of floor
area. According to the applicant, the proposal will facilitate a retail market place as an outlet
for local people to sell their farmed goods that would incorporate the existing educational
(edible) garden and associated facilities.
Urban development has built up in the project vicinity including single family housing to the
north and east of the project site and an elementary school to the west. The project site is
currently vacant, except for the education garden on the western portion. There are
approved tentative tract maps located southwest of the project site but these sites remain
undeveloped.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this Zone Change on June
21, 2012, and recommended approval to the City Council. No one spoke in opposition to the
request.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a
significant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Negative Declaration was prepared and
posted on May 24, 2012, in accordance with CEQA.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that Ice Cap Pro, a proprietary panel type subfloor
cannot be reasonably obtained through the usual bidding procedures and
authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding thereof, not to exceed
the budgeted amount of $150,000. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The existing ice covering subfloor at the Rabobank Arena is over fourteen (14)
years old and is heavily degraded. The deterioration of the subfloor leaves fiberglass
particulate on the ice which interferes with the use of the ice during hockey games and it
increases maintenance of the Zamboni machines. Current ice subfloor designs are improved
and the replacement product should last many years.
Ice Cap Pro is the most widely used subfloor product in the industry and is in use in over 200
arenas around the world. SpaceAge Synthetics, Ltd. is the manufacturer and sole distributor of
the Ice Cap Pro subfloor panels. Staff is recommending adoption of the Resolution to
dispense with bidding for Ice Cap Pro and authorize the purchase of a new subfloor from
SpaceAge Synthetics, Ltd. not to exceed the budgeted amount of $150,000. Funds are
budgeted in the Capital Outlay Fund for this project.

Improvement Program has also used the current HCP program to reduce time and costs, thereby
allowing more of their funds to be used for actual road construction. The new HCP is anticipated to
be used in similar fashion for future street and highway projects, and for other transportation projects
such as bikeways, transit and pedestrian trails. These funds are in addition to and will supplement
the grant monies received by the City from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Habitat for Humanity, Golden Empire ($10,000) for the sale of
property located at 1918 Filson Street for resale to a HUD - qualified low income
family
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the sale of the foreclosed single family affordable property and
the purchase by the Habitat for Humanity for the sole purpose of resale to a U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)- qualified low income family.
BACKGROUND:
This property originally received a loan of HUD HOME funding for rehabilitation in April 2001. One
condition of receiving such HUD assistance is that the unit remain owner - occupied. The original
property owner passed away in 2002 leaving the property to the family. In 2003, the family chose
not to live in the home and rented the property, resulting in a default on the loan. Through the
process, staff attempted to work with the family to bring the property into compliance through
re -sale or owner- occupancy; however, the family failed to comply with program requirements.
In 2010, the property went to a five year tax default status and created a "Power to Sell" by the
Kern County Tax Assessor. The City paid the property taxes to prevent the sale and protect the
interest of the City.
Foreclosure proceedings began in June 2011 and finalized in January 2012 leaving the property
in the name of the City of Bakersfield. The house is currently vacant and in need of significant
rehabilitation, and has been boarded -up by the City.
Habitat for Humanity has requested to purchase the property in order to remodel and sell the
house to a low income single family household at an affordable price. In order to complete the
transfer and continue to meet HUD's HOME program guidelines, we have to ensure it remains
affordable per HUD's standards. Due to substantial rehabilitation costs staff recommends
transferring this property for a price of $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity to achieve this purpose.

SUBJECT: Agreement with A -C Electric Company (not to exceed $200,000 annually) for
electrical services at the Mount Vernon Recycling Facility for a one -year period,
renewable annually for four consecutive one -year periods (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Because of the elimination of diesel engines by new air pollution rules,
equipment at the Mount Vernon Recycling Facility (Facility) was switched from diesel power to
electric power. The electric motors, relays, and controls are not maintained by City staff
because the motors are high voltage and thus require specially trained staff to maintain the
equipment. Therefore, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals to perform
various electrical contracting services on both the electric powered equipment and control
panels at the Facility. The RFP was mailed to 12 electrical companies. One firm declined by
letter. Proposals to the RFP were received from four other firms as summarized below.
• A -C Electric Company
• Curtis Electric Construction, Inc
• Gold Coast Electric, Inc
• Electrical Systems and Instrumentation, Inc
After reviewing the qualifications and fee proposals submitted by the four firms, staff
recommends award of this Agreement to A -C Electric. Staff determined that A -C Electric's
combination of qualifications and fee proposal as being the most favorable to the City.
Evaluation of qualifications included ability to provide services along with public sector
experience. In addition, A -C Electric has a thorough knowledge of both the specialized
equipment and associated systems at the Facility since they have previously maintained this
equipment for the City.
Sufficient funds are budgeted to cover the costs for this Agreement. This project is funded with
Refuse Enterprise funds. Approximately 30% of the cost is covered by Kern County per the
Greenwaste Cost Share Agreement. There is no General Fund impact associated with this
agreement.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 12 -059 (WR11- 008(2)) with Quad Knopf,
Inc. ($60,000; for a revised not to exceed amount of $155,000) to provide
additional environmental, biological, and planning services (Wards 1 through 7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment.
BACKGROUND: The City's Water Resources and Public Works Departments have had several
recent maintenance and capital improvement projects where on -call environmental,
biological, and planning services were needed. The City has also been working on updating
various permits to continue maintenance activities in the Kern River channel. On March 23,
2011 the Water Resources Department entered into Agreement No. WR11 -008 with Quad
Knopf, Inc., to provide the on -call services for these types of tasks. The original Agreement was
for a one -year term with a not to exceed amount of $35,000. On May 09, 2012 Amendment
No.l was approved increasing compensation to Quad Knoff Inc. by $60,000 to provide
additional on -call services with a not to exceed total of $95,000. The term of the agreement
was also extended to June 2013.
Over the course of the term of the current agreement as amended, Quad Knopf has provided
biological and nesting bird surveys for sumps that contained vegetation and wildlife in various
parks. Water Resources obtained these important surveys prior to performing much - needed
maintenance in these environmentally sensitive sumps. It was imperative to clean these sumps
in short order because of the risk of potential flooding of residential neighborhoods as
experienced during the storm of December 2010. .
Also, Quad Knopf has been working closely with Water Resources staff to update permits and
obtain new permits as required to continue to perform routine maintenance of the Kern River
channel so that the City is in compliance with state and federal regulations. To ensure these
required permits are up to date, staff recommends that the City continue to use the services
and expertise of Quad Knopf to coordinate with these governing agencies.
Public Works has used the services of Quad Knopf to assist in San Joaquin kit fox training at
various capital improvement project sites. Public Works anticipates that Quad Knopf's services
will be needed for some additional training and assistance in coordinating with federal and
state agencies.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 1 to Agreement No. 12 -039 with Griffith
Company ($79,891.68; revised not to exceed $1,032,085.68) for the Campus
Park South Sump Remediation Project (Ward 5).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This project provides for modifying and increasing the storage capacity of the
storm drain system in the Campus Park area.
During construction operations on Kilterbury Lane, the existing pavement was severely damaged
by the construction equipment that was necessary to install the storm drainpipe on this street.
This damage occurred because the structural section of the street was not able to handle the
loading of this heavy construction equipment. The contractor has agreed to accept a lump sum
of $65,250.24 to reconstruct this street.
During construction, the trench line along Bellows Avenue collapsed due to an old leaking storm
drain line that has saturated the soil. The c ta of collapsed agreed t each line.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of the bid.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to over one hundred (100) vehicle suppliers. Three
(3) bids were received in response to solicitation.
The bid specifications required a minimum gas mileage requirement of 17 miles per gallon
(MPG) or better. The low bid received from Three Way Chevrolet, Bakersfield was based on a
Chevrolet pickup with a gas mileage (City) rating of 15 MPG. Staff prepared an analysis to
compare fuel cost of a vehicle rated at 15 MPG versus a vehicle rated at 17 MPG based on an
8 year usage period. The 2 MPG fuel consumption loss would cost an additional $420 per
vehicle per year; total cost difference for 2 vehicles over 8 years equals $6,720. Therefore, the
overall fuel cost over the life of the vehicles would be lower for vehicles meeting the minimum
fuel rating specification of 17 MPG. Staff recommends declaring the bid received from Three
Way Chevrolet non - responsive based on the failure to meet the minimum gas mileage
requirement.
Raceway Ford, Riverside is the lowest responsive bidder; Jim Burke Ford, Bakersfield is the next
lowest responsive bidder and is eligible for the 3% local preference Council Policy

SUBJECT: Appropriate and transfer $6,900 Fire Trust - Hazmat Penalty Funds to the Certified
Unified Program Agencies (CUPA) Fund Operating Budget for the abandonment
of an Underground Storage Tank located at Fire Station No. 1. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation and transfer.
BACKGROUND:
An abandoned Underground Storage Tank (UST) was discovered at Fire Station # 1 during the
recent demolition and re- building of the perimeter wall. The abandoned UST was probably
used as a boiler fuel tank when Fire Station # 1 was originally equipped with oil -fired boilers in
1939. The original boiler system was removed several decades ago, and the UST was
decommissioned at that time by removal of its piping. The UST still contains approximately 100
gallons of residual fuel. Current UST regulations require removal of all residual liquid, inerted to
preclude explosion, and either its complete removal or else filling the UST with an inert solid
(e.g.: cement) by a licensed and qualified contractor (T 23 CCR 2670 et seq.).
Staff recommends an appropriation of funds from the penalties paid to the City in accordance
with the California Health & Safety Code section 25404.1.1 (1) and held in the Fire Trust Hazmat
Penalty account to fund the abandonment costs of the UST. The Safety Code allows for the
expenditure of penalty funds for the activities of the CUPA including enforcement purposes and
in the protection of health, safety and the environment.
Staff requests the appropriation and transfer of $6,900 Fire Trust Hazmat Penalty funds to the
CUPA fund operating budget for the abandonment of the UST. This appropriation will cover the
costs of properly abandoning the decommissioned UST, pursuant to current regulatory
requirements.

Public Hearing to consider the proposed expenditure plan for the 2011-12
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funding (S.L.E.S.F.).
1) Appropriate $537,552.97 State grant revenues to the Police Operating
Budget within the S.L.E.S.F. Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
Since the passage of Assembly Bill (AB3229) Citizen's Option for Public Safety in FY1996 -97,
the City of Bakersfield Police Department has received an annual sum from the State's
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (S.L.E.S.F.). The program was designed to
provide State funds to local law enforcement agencies for the purpose of addressing
current front line law enforcement needs. For each year the City receives monies from the
S.L.E.S.F., the Chief of Police must submit written requests to the City Council specifying the
front line law enforcement needs and those personnel, equipment and programs that are
necessary to meet those needs; and the City must conduct a public hearing to consider the
requests. The allocation amount received this year is $537,552.97.
Per CA Government Code 30062, "monies allocated from a Supplemental Law
Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) to a recipient entity shall be expended exclusively to
provide front line law enforcement services. These monies shall supplement existing
services, and shall not be used to supplant any existing funding for law enforcement
services provided by that entity."
The dollar amounts in the proposed budget below are estimates. Per CA Government
Code 30061(e), any S.L.E.S.F. monies received in 2011 -12 must be expended or encumbered
no later than June 30, 2013. "Any local agency that has not met this requirement shall remit
unspent SLESF monies to the Controller for deposit into the General Fund." If department
needs change or the amounts spent differ from those proposed, the Police Department will
expend or encumber the differences in accordance with the guidelines governing SLESF
monies (CA Government Code 30061 - 30065).

6. WORKSHOPS continued
Item 6.a. continued
In response to a request by Councilmember
Benham, City Manager Tandy made the
following comments for the record regarding
the Issues surrounding the proposal to make
Highway 204 an alternate to 24th Street. The
Hageman Flyover Project, which connects
Highway 204 to more people and more routes,
is a response to the request we've received,
however, it is only a response for those people
who wish to go to the north or northwest. As far
as a continuous east /west or west /east
movement, the people are going to follow the
linear path, the straight path, and take It
irrespective of signage or making traffic so
congested and unbearable that people have
to go north. Human behavior Is just such that
they're going to take the shortest distance
between two points. So we are bringing
forward the Hageman Flyover Project. We do
think when it's constructed, It will help those
people wishing to move to the north to perhaps
get off of 24th Street, but the traffic modeling
again, which Is a 30 -year computer -based
projection of traffic demands, show that both
projects are needed In order to handle the
traffic that will exist.
Mayor Hall announced that there would be
public statements received in opposition and
support of this project, allowing 3 minutes per
speaker, 15 minutes per side.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to
the project: Jim Jett suggested providing a
study about the possibility of building greater
traffic access to Highway 99 from the point of
the bottleneck at 24th and Oak streets; Judith
Harniman thanked City staff for meeting with
her and advised that she would like to get more
information on the statistics presented this
evening and the aspects of the traffic analysis;
ACTION TAKEN
Bakersfield, California, August 15, 2012 — Page 7
6. WORKSHOPS continued
Item 6.a. continued
Opposition Speakers continued
Joel Stewart suggested using the TRIP money to
develop an easy flow of traffic north or south of
downtown from Oak Street to Buck Owens
Boulevard to Highway 99, and that traffic
should be diverted to Highway 204 rather than
going through 24th Street to access Rosedale
Highway or Highway 178; Terry Maxwell
suggested that, if the goal is to make 16 miles of
traffic flow beautifully down 24th Street, three
lanes could be made both ways by restriping it
without a lot of expense involved; Kathleen
Faulkner mentioned that the main concern that
brought her to the meeting was to discuss the
safety issues and the need for safe pedestrian
crossings (especially at A Street), traffic signals
to get in and out of the neighborhood within a
half mile of each other, and left turn signals
across 24th Street, or whatever it takes to slow
down the traffic because it is a residential area,
and she submitted written material; David Boyd
recommended taking the Westside Parkway
and bringing it to the connectivity of Highway
99 and also from Highway 178 running east to
alleviate the traffic coming through downtown;
Vanessa Vangel spoke at the request of Robert
Massey and advised that she is in strong
opposition to the widening project, indicated
she would like to see proof of the statistics from
the comments that were received by TRIP, and
wants to retain the historical significance and
property values of the neighborhood.
Councilmember Benham clarified that the
presentation tonight was not meant to be the
comprehensive response to the EIR public
comment, and that will be coming at a later
date.

Item 6.a. continued
The following individuals spoke in support of the
project: Robert Massey advised that he has put
forth the effort of getting the cul -de -sacs on A
Street, and he asked for an amendment of 92%
to the unanimity that City Manager Tandy
referenced in his presentation; Bob Brasse
gave his time to the next speaker; Michael
Hoxworth recommended (1) a study or
consideration of a T intersection at Beech Street
that would be controlled by a 3 -way signal to
help the flow of traffic if the backup in the left
turn lane occurred and could also offer the
opportunity for southbound Beech Street traffic
to travel eastbound onto 24'" Street, (2) a study
of a signal light at D Street at 23rd and 24'" that
would fall in conformity of the other lights that
are in the couplet area and move the first light
from F to D for eastbound traffic, which could
also be the position of the pedestrian crossing
that is being considered at other areas,
(3) consideration of forming a landscape
advisory committee made up of homeowners
and business owners in the downtown area,
and (4) the potential of moving the entire
roadway slightly to the north to bring balance
of landscape to both the north and south side
when it is completed.
