committee discussing the topic of public safety first in the meeting due to Police Chief

long term commitments from the fund.

recommend to the city council that funds be appropriated for incentive programs for
officer hiring in the next budget year in addition to the ones that are before us now.

a dollar figure attached to this package for incentivized hiring.

discussion included additional things that make our community a great community and
things they wanted to see improved.

Department proposed on the slide shown.

postponed if the revenues are not realized and if there is an access then the excess will
be held in contingency.

he does not feel it is the right time to increase fire department staffing and he will not
be voting in favor of fire department staffing at this time.

being staff wants and not community needs. Mr. Turnipseed further expressed the
concern of excess hiring and desire to explore technology that may eliminate the need

requests and what is needed to maintain level two.

Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
Dear Members of the Citizens Oversight Committee of Measure N Funding,
As a former Bakersfield City Councilman who was heavily involved in the approval and development of the
Kern River Parkway, I am writing to urge you to recommend appropriate funding to clean up/upgrade San
Miguel Grove in the Kern River Parkway. The City of Bakersfield has allowed this area adjacent to the Bike_
Path, west of Manor Street, to deteriorate with non-native vegetation. It is badly. degraded. San Miguel Grove
needs to be regularly maintained once it is restored.
As an advisor to the Kern River Parkway, Foundation -.our, group has not been able to get City Staffs attention
on this matter. Frankly, this work could be done with joint effort by City Parks and Recreation and Water
Department.
In addition, I urge you to take up the issue of funding for the redevelopment of the "Uplands of the Kern Park"
along the Kern River behind or west of Sam Lynn Ballpark. This park is a disgrace. It once had great promise
but has deteriorated to the point of not being recognizable. It is also a site for illegal dumping.
Bakersfield should grow up healthy, not just big.
I look forward to hearing from your august body serving the people of Bakersfield.

Subject: Measure N Park Funding for the Kern River Parkway and Uplands of the Kern Park
Follow Up Flag: Follow up

Dear Members of the Citizens Oversight Committee of Measure N Funding,
As a former Bakersfield City Councilman -who was heavily involved in the approval and development of the
Kern River Parkway, I am writing to urge you to recommend appropriate funding to clean up/upgrade San
Miguel Grove. in the Kern River Parkway. The City of Bakersfield has allowed this area adjacent to -the Bike_
Path, west of Manor Street, to deteriorate with non-native vegetation. It is badly. degraded. - San Miguel Grove
needs to be regularly maintained once it is restored.
As an advisor to the Kern River Parkway Foundation, our group has not been able to get City Staffs attention
on this matter. Frankly, this work could be done with joint effort by City Parks and Recreation and Water
Department.
In addition, I urge you to take up the issue of funding for the redevelopment of the "Uplands of the Kern Park"
along the Kern River behind or west -of Sam Lynn -Ballpark. This park is a disgrace. It once had great promise
but has deteriorated to the point of not being recognizable. It is also a site for illegal dumping.
Bakersfield should grow up healthy, not just big.
I look forward to hearing from your august body serving the people of Bakersfield.
