    OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER October 11, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager A T SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items ➢ The trend of new hotels coming to Bakersfield continues as two are expected to open in the near future, and four more are either under construction already or have submitted plans for new sites. Construction on the Home 2 Suites by Hilton (seen below, on Brimhall Road near the Westside Parkway) and Hyatt Place (on Coffee Road near California State University Bakersfield) is nearly complete. These are both new brands to Bakersfield, offering more than 130 rooms combined for visitors. A second Residence Inn – 125 rooms – is being built on Espresso Drive (off Coffee Road, north of Rosedale Highway). These new hotels come as hotel room night sales are on the rise compared to the first eight months of last year as well. That translated to almost $10 million in more tax revenue for the City for the fiscal year that ended June 30, the most ever collected through the Transient Occupancy Tax. General Information October 11, 2019 Page 2 ➢ On Tuesday, Pacific Gas and Electric and Southern California Edison issued a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) warning to much of California, including Kern County. The warning stated that the utility companies would shutoff power to customers in preparation of an anticipated weather event to help reduce the chances of sparking a wildfire. The initial warning also included parts of Bakersfield, possibly affecting as many as 32,000 residents. That warning carried over into Wednesday, with the shutoff expected for Thursday.
