AT OFFICE of the CITY MANAGER May 26, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER May 26, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT SUBJECT: General Information City offices will be closed Monday, May 29th, in observance of Memorial Day. Good News: ¾ Earlier this week the Bakersfield Fire Department held a ribbon cutting and reopening ceremony for Fire Station No. 8 in northeast Bakersfield. Mayor Goh, Councilmembers Weir, Gonzales and Parlier, as well as many Fire Department staff and community members attended the event. Over the past two years, the station has undergone a complete rehabilitation, bringing the facility up to modern fire station standards. The rehabbed station will continue to serve the community for many years to come. Thanks to all those involved in the project. ¾ All nine City Spray Parks will open to the public tomorrow, May 27th seven days a week through Labor Day, September 4th! The locations include: Beale, Dr. Martin Luther King, Greystone, Jastro, Jefferson, Planz, Saunders, Siemon and Wayside Parks. General Information May 26, 2017 Page 2 ¾ A ribbon cutting was held today to officially reopen the waterslides at the McMurtrey Aquatic Center. Mayor Goh along with Councilmembers Gonzales and Parlier were on hand to celebrate the occasion. The project included replacing both original slide structures with new slides. ¾ Operation Splash will be held on Memorial Day, Monday May 29th from 1 to 4 p.m. with activities for the entire family at the McMurtrey Aquatic Center. The new waterslides will be open to the public for the first time! Cost is $4 per person or $13 for groups of four. ¾ The Police Department held a Bike Rodeo at Horizon Elementary and Silver Creek Park this past week. Children were able to learn and practice bicycle safety skills. Over 150 children attended the two events with 131 bicycle helmets and 73 bike lights being distributed. General Information May 26, 2017 Page 3 ¾ The City is collaborating with the Tree Foundation of Kern to plant 10 trees at each of the 18 parks listed below for a total of 180 trees. Plantings are expected to begin this fall. x Beach Park x MLK Park x Beale Park x Patriots Park x Centennial Park x Planz Park x Central Park at Mill Creek x Saunders Park x Challenger Park x Siemon Park x Grissom Park x Stiern Park x Jastro Park x Stone Creek Park x Jefferson Park x Wayside Park x Lowell Park x Wilson Park ¾ A special thanks and congratulations are due to Wiladene (Willy) Sawyer whose last day with the City is next Tuesday. Over the past 15 years, Willy has held the title of Webmaster and has played an instrumental role in building the City’s web presence to what it is today. Her talent and positive attitude will be missed. We wish Willy all the best in retirement! Notable Items ¾ The White House released its FY 18 budget proposal earlier this week. As expected, it contains a proposal to eliminate both the Community Development Block Grant and HOME programs. The City receives over $4 million annually from these funding sources and utilizes the funds for services and infrastructure that directly benefits residents with low and moderate incomes. The City’s proposed budget for next year includes funding from these sources and as discussed in recent budget meetings, further adjustments may be needed if any reductions are made at the federal level. The federal budget process is a prolonged, multi-layered activity involving many subcommittees and negotiations – the White House proposal is the first step in this process. It remains too early to know exactly what the outcome will be in regards to the initial proposal, however we will continue to monitor closely. ¾ As of July 1, 2017, palm tree fronds will no longer be accepted in the green residential cans or at the Green Waste Facility. The impact to the machinery and cost to grind the fronds no longer make it feasible to accept this type of vegetation. After July 1st, all palm tree fronds are to be placed in the regular brown refuse cans for disposable. More information from the Public Works Department is enclosed. ¾ Trash and recycling services will not be interrupted during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

    2.4 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT DRAFT EXISTING CONDITIONS, CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES REPORT 2.4 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT The Parks and Open Space Element details how open space, recreational areas and natural resource areas will be preserved and managed. 2.4.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS The 2002 Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan addresses Parks and Open Space in two separate elements. It is proposed that these two elements be combined under one comprehensive Parks and Open Space Element as part of the General Plan Update. Therefore, the following is a brief overview of both the Parks and Open space elements of the 2002 Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. Parks Parks are generally categorized as either “local” or “regional” in the 2002 Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. Local parks generally range from 1 to 2.5 acres for mini-parks, 5- 10 acres for neighborhood parks, and approximately 30 acres for community parks. Regional parks, on the other hand, can range anywhere from 20 to 1,000 acres and may serve a population living within a one–hour drive (about 50 miles). Historically, park facilities in the planning area have been provided by the City of Bakersfield, Kern County, the North of the River Recreation and Park District (NORRPD), Bear Mountain Recreation and Park District, school districts, colleges, and, most recently, private developers. Regional parks have been the responsibility of Kern County. The City of Bakersfield and Kern County operate regional, community and neighborhood parks and trails, along with community centers and other recreational facilities. The park system under the jurisdiction of the City of Bakersfield includes more than 50 parks, recreation facilities and trails such as the Kern River Parkway (see Figure 2.4.1-1 Existing Parks in Metropolitan Bakersfield, below, and Table 2.4.1-1 Existing Parks in Metropolitan Bakersfield, located at the end of this chapter, for a listing of all parks in the Metropolitan Bakersfield area).

The City of Bakersfield The City of Bakersfield was incorporated in 1898 and is the county seat of Kern County. The city covers approximately 113.74 square miles at an elevation of 492 feet above sea level. Located at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, it is partially surrounded by the three mountain ranges of the Temblor Range, the Tehachapi Range and the Sierra Nevada Range. The fastest falling river in the U.S. is the Kern River, which flows through the valley (Source: 1). The early growth began in 1851 with the discovery of gold in the bed of the Kern River and in 1865, oil was also discovered in the region.
