Miscellaneous News • SMG announced this week Scott Neal has been appointed General Manager of Rabobank Arena, Theater and Convention Center. Neal previously held the position of Assistant General Manager/Director of Event Services and Marketing Director at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Neal will begin his tenure on November 28th.

Honorable Mayor and City Council General Information November 18, 2011 Page 2 • Amtrak’s Exhibit Train will be in Bakersfield this weekend as part of a national tour. The train commemorates Amtrak’s 40th Anniversary this year with stops throughout the country. It will stop in only two Central Valley locations: Sacramento and Bakersfield. Amtrak’s Exhibit Train will be at the Bakersfield Amtrak Station this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day. High Speed Rail News . The legal hurdles are mounting for the High Speed Rail Authority. We learned this week that a Sacramento Superior Court Judge ruled HSR officials failed to show how the proposed route from Gilroy to San Jose would harm local traffic and homes. Under this ruling the Rail Authority must rescind the Peninsula route to study how the traffic in the far South Bay would suffer if the tracks force the elimination of lanes on Monterey Highway. In separate, but related legal action this week, Kings County and two of its residents filed a lawsuit against the California High Speed Rail Authority, stating that its plan for the central San Joaquin Valley portion of the rail line violates sections of Proposition 1A. According to the suit, the authority's construction of the Valley portion of the rail line illegally uses Prop 1A bond funds for a non-electric, or conventional, rail line. The suit states that because the proposition called for an electric rail system, the use of proposition funds for a non-electric rail line -- even in the "preliminary" stage -- violates state law. Both articles are enclosed for you. In accordance with Council comments made during the November 16th meeting, staff will be scheduling a hearing and will present recommendations for Council to consider in response to citizen concerns at the December 14th meeting. TRIP News Motorists are advised that the outside northbound lane on Allen Road, between Stockdale Highway and Brimhall Road in the vicinity of the Westside Parkway construction, will be closed on Monday, November 21, 2011 between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon. The closure is needed to allow the contractor to prepare existing pavement for the tie-in to the future bypass road. A news release is enclosed.

  • Bakersfield to Move to the American Hockey League Formation of the Pacific Division for 2015-16 Announced
    OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER January 30, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council AT FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager /al Subject: General Information Notable Items As we know, the drop in oil prices is being felt here in Kern County, big time. The County expects to lose $61 million in property tax revenue, prompting the Board of Supervisors to declare a fiscal emergency this week. Layoffs have already begun to occur, which will affect the local economy. History teaches us that prices will rise again, however, and we only hope that it happens soon. As previously reported, the Thomas Roads Improvement Program will host a community meeting for the 24th Street Improvement Project on February 4, 2015, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Rabobank Convention Center. This meeting will be held in an open house format, and the public is encouraged to attend at any time during the three-hour period and provide input. Exhibits will be set up in the Convention Center Lobby that will illustrate streetscape concepts, and options for hardscape and plant materials that are appropriate to the region’s climate and neighborhood character. City and Caltrans staff will be available to answer questions. Roland Genick, chief architect for Parsons Transportation Group, will provide a presentation in the Convention Center’s Potato Room at 5:00 p.m. that will focus on initial design concepts. The presentation will be repeated at 6:00 p.m. Free parking will be available in the lot south of (behind) the Convention Center. Bulletins Councilmember Weir hosted a community meeting this past week.
