OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER May 28, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager CC

SUBJECT: General Information

City administrative offices will be closed Monday, May 31, in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. Curbside trash and recycling services will not be affected.

Notable Items

 The City of Bakersfield’s Solid Waste Division will host a pair of pop-up large trash item drop-off events on Saturday, June 5 at Kaiser Permanente Sports Village (9001 Ashe Road) and at 4200 Panorama Drive. City residents are welcome to bring trash items that don’t fit in their tan bins to those locations between 8 a.m. and noon.

Part of Bakersfield's Clean City Initiative – funded by the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure – these events have proved quite popular with the public since launching in January of this year. The last events, held on May 19, collected almost 14 tons of trash items. The Clean City Initiative aims to reduce illegal dumping and debris seen around the City, improving quality of life for our residents and visitors.

 All nine City-maintained spray parks will begin operations this weekend, starting on Saturday, May 29. Hours of operation will be from 1 to 6 p.m. each day, Tuesday through Sunday through Labor Day.

All spray parks will be closed on Mondays as a proactive water conservation effort and to provide staff an opportunity to perform any maintenance needed at the spray General Information May 28, 2021 Page 2

parks. The spray parks will be open on Mondays when there is a holiday observed: May 31 (Memorial Day), July 5 (Independence Day observed) and September 6 (Labor Day).

This change in hours and days of operation is a proactive step to help conserve water following the Governor’s drought declaration in Kern County, but the changes are not mandated by the state. The City also has a number of resources, conservation tips and other information about drought and water savings on our website.

 The widening of College Avenue west of Fairfax Avenue is complete. This follows the completion of the construction of a retaining wall project completed last year on the north side of College along the East Niles Community Services District tank site (before and after below). Public Works Street maintenance crews completed the road widening with support from annual contractors. Once the widening was complete, Streets crews resurfaced the full width of College Avenue from the City limit at the west end near Montello Street to 500 feet east of Fairfax Avenue.

 The popular summer Movies in the Park series returns in June! The Recreation & Parks Department will host free movies at various parks throughout the City each Friday night through July, starting with “Shrek” on June 4 at . The movies begin at dusk and families are welcome to bring picnic gear, lawn chairs and snacks.

 I am pleased to inform you that Assistant City Manager Chris Huot has been recommended by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Credentialing Advisory Board to receive ICMA Credentialed Manager Candidate status in July. The ICMA Voluntary Credentialing Program recognizes professional local government managers qualified by a combination of education and experience, adherence to high standards of integrity, and an assessed commitment to lifelong learning and professional development. Managers are recognized by ICMA through a peer review credentialing process, and this self-directed program offers an opportunity for interested ICMA members to quantify the unique expertise they bring to their communities. A Credentialed Manager Candidate is a member who has been fully accepted into the program, but is a year or two shy of having enough executive experience to become an ICMA Credentialed Manager. Candidates complete professional development and submit annual reports just like Credentialed Managers, and they are automatically upgraded to Credentialed Manager as soon as they have enough executive experience. Upon confirmation in July, Chris will be among General Information May 28, 2021 Page 3

1,400 out of over 11,000 ICMA members with this designation. Congratulations to Chris!

 A pair of Thomas Roads Improvement Program projects were recognized at the state level this week, earning honors from the California Transportation Foundation Awards (right). The Highway 43-Highway 58 Roundabout project (Parsons Transportation Group) was awarded in the Conventional State Highway Category and the 24th Street Widening project (Parsons Transportation Group; T.Y. Lin International; Griffith Company) was named Local Street Project of the Year. Congrats to all those involved in those projects and thank you for your incredible work improving transportation in Bakersfield!

 The Recreation & Parks Department is offering a beginner’s pickleball clinic at ’s courts (2900 Truxtun Avenue) in June. Over four sessions held Tuesday nights starting June 8, participants will learn the fundamentals of the fastest growing game in the country, including how to serve, block and more, as well as strategy and scoring. The deadline for registration is June 4. Registration is online only (search “pickleball”).

• Item 8aj. Bakersfield Homeless Center (BHC) Clean City Team for (All Wards) The Clean City Initiative is a multi-pronged program aimed at reducing the amount of litter, debris and illegal dumping throughout the City, improving the quality of life for residents and visitors. This program currently includes the deployment of six teams providing enhanced litter abatement activities and the establishment of regular bulky waste collection events for the community. This specific item is related to the litter abatement component of the program. The Bakersfield Homeless Center provides four teams of BHC clients and supervisors that deploy citywide to remove litter, debris and bulky items generally in response to requests made via the Bakersfield Mobile app and respond to “hot-spot” priority locations. At this time, staff is recommending the City Council approve the addition of one additional team to focus exclusively on the viewshed and ancillary greenspaces along the Kern River Parkway Multi- Use path. An amendment to the original agreement with BHC is needed to add an additional crew and increase compensation by $140,000 for a revised not to exceed amount of $827,000.

CONSENT CALENDAR – PUBLIC HEARINGS

• Item 9c. Renaissance at Baker Affordable Housing Project (Ward 2) The Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK) and Cesar Chavez Foundation (CCF) desire to develop a mixed-use complex at 1001 Baker Street. HACK and CCF are requesting $1,350,000 in HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), $1,800,000 in Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) funds, and a $320,000 loan for the purchase of the property to help finance the development of an 85-unit mixed-use complex. The complex will be restricted for occupancy by households making less than 60% of the area median income, while 43 units will be restricted to households making 30% of the area median income. The total cost of construction is estimated to be $32,319,000, while the total project is estimated to be $44,728,542. The applicants are requesting local funds be committed to support the project's construction cost and proposing that the City enter into an option agreement to sell the property to the developer team upon securing all financing needed to develop the project.

HEARINGS

• Item 10b. Domestic Water Quantity Rates (Wards 2-7) Staff is proposing a rate increase for users within the City's Domestic Water Service Area for the first time in over 4 years. Staff is proposing to increase quantity rates, readiness to serve charge and the private fire protection service charge by 4%. The specific dollar increase to each user is variable depending on the size of water meter installed at a specific property and actual water usage. The rate increase would represent an average monthly water bill increase from $41.98 to $43.56. If approved, the City’s water rates will continue to be the lowest in the metropolitan area. This item will be continued to the next City Council meeting.

• Item 10d. Fiscal Year 2021-22 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets (All Wards) Each year, a public hearing is required to receive public comment prior to adoption of the budget.

Why Should I License My Dog? California requires all dogs over the age of three months to be vaccinated and licensed as a rabies control measure. However, there are other reasons why you should license your pet, such as: • A license provides proof that your pet has been vaccinated for rabies, which is a fatal viral disease that can be prevented by vaccination. • Anyone finding a lost dog can contact Animal Control with the license number, and Animal Control can find the owner. • Proof of rabies vaccinations can be useful if your pet is involved in a bite incident.

Easy Steps to Follow for Vaccinating & Licensing • If you attend one of our low-cost monthly clinics, your dog can be vaccinated at a reduced cost. A license MUST be purchased at the same time, the fees are listed below. • If you do NOT attend a clinic, have your dog vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian. Then promptly return a copy of your dog’s rabies vaccination certificate, spay/neuter certificate (if applicable) and the fee payment to the City of Bakersfield. A license will be mailed or given to you. Dog License Fees Where to Purchase a License Spayed or Neutered if your dog already has vaccinations.
