OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER November 15, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT / CH SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items Staff continues to work on finding a suitable location for a low-barrier homeless shelter in Bakersfield. To that end, several City Staff members – including Assistant City Managers Jacqui Kitchen and Chris Huot, Public Works Director Nick Fidler, and Community Development Coordinator Nina Carter – this week visited 40 Prado, a shelter facility in San Luis Obispo that Staff has drawn inspiration from. City Staff, along with members from Kern County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services met with 40 Prado’s Deputy Director Grace McIntosh to discuss operations of such a General Information November 15, 2019 Page 2 facility. McIntosh showed Staff how clients are processed when they come to the 100-bed facility, the dormitory areas, where and how some on-site health care services are provided, as well as a green space, a kennel and a kitchen. McIntosh also explained ways the facility has become part of the neighborhood in a positive way, even offering its campus to host various services for the community at times. It was a very educational visit and will help as Staff continues researching what operating a low-barrier shelter in Bakersfield will require. The recognition of the City’s Water Resources Department continues as the department has won yet another award for its 1,2,3-Trichlorpropane (TCP) mitigation project, this time from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC). The project won a Merit Award in the ACEC’s 2020 Engineering Excellence Award competition. -

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. -
