OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

February 10, 2012 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT/ch

SUBJECT: General Information

Miscellaneous News • As requested, PG&E provided staff with an update as to the status of the Kern Power Plant demolition and upcoming key dates. Bids for the demolition were closed in mid-January and the reviewing of the bids by PG&E is currently taking place. The goal is for PG&E to award the contract and make an announcement on the selected contractor by the end of this month. A demolition timeline is scheduled to be finalized in March. Staff will continue to be in contact with PG&E to provide you with any additional updates as they become available.

• We have received the detailed breakdown of the most recent sales tax figures – comparing the third quarter of 2011 with the third quarter of 2010. As staff previously reported, the overall increase was 24 percent, which has not changed. Specifically, there were notable increases in oil and gas related services, products and equipment. Additionally, service stations and new car sales showed above average positive moment. A memo from Finance Director Nelson Smith is enclosed which provides additional insight.

• As you recall, the 2012 Amgen Tour of California pro cycling race will return to Bakersfield in May after a one year hiatus. The City will be hosting the individual time trial event – a very prestigious honor bestowed upon only one city within the entire race. The event organizers, AEG, officially announced this week the actual route the riders will take during the event. A news release and map are enclosed. Additionally, you can view the route video by visiting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qS87UYbxbU

• In a report released this week by the Associated General Contractors of America, Kern County had the sixth highest rate of construction gains nationwide -- and the highest in California. Between December 2010 and December 2011, Kern added 2,000 construction jobs, a 17% gain. The list of metro areas is enclosed. Please note: the Bakersfield-Delano metro area includes all of Kern County.

Honorable Mayor and City Council General Information February 10, 2012 Page 2

• Additionally, Kern County posted a higher rate of private sector job gains during the past year than any other large California metro area except San Jose and San Diego. According to an analysis released this week by On Numbers, Kern saw an increase of 1.16 percent in private-sector employment in 2011. That rate of increase placed Kern third among California’s 11 large metro areas, and 42nd among the nation’s 100 largest metros. On Numbers used preliminary data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to estimate 2011's private-sector employment totals for the nation's 100 biggest metros. The official 2011 figures will be released at the end of February.

High Speed Rail News  In a 3-2 vote this week, the Kern County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution opposing the high-speed rail project in its current form. Many of the supervisor’s concerns echoed recent concerns the City has had related to the project – including impacts to local businesses, homes and other facilities – as well as suspect financial projections and questionable ridership predictions. The County becomes the fourth in the Central Valley to formally adopt a resolution opposing the project. The other three are Kings County, Tulare County and Madera County.

Event Schedule There are multiple public events scheduled for the next week at City facilities:

 Bakersfield Condors Hockey February 11th; 7 p.m. Rabobank Arena Tickets: $8-$25

 Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra Feb 11th; 8 p.m. Rabobank Theater Tickets: $34-$50

Stage Five Route Announced for 2012 Amgen Tour of California

BAKERSFIELD, Calif (February 8, 2012) - The Bakersfield Sports Foundation, in conjunction with AEG Sports, today unveiled the race route for Stage Five of the 2012 Amgen Tour of California. In 2010, Bakersfield hosted the Stage Five finish as riders climbed the grueling Panorama bluffs not once, but three times as they raced to the finish line. This year, the Individual Time Trial starts at that same spot, ensuring a challenging and memorable course that celebrates the unique geography carved by the scenic and wild Kern River.

“This route is exactly what we wanted for our Individual Time Trial,” said Bakersfield Sports Foundation President Kerry Ryan. “The terrain of this course is unique, challenging, and one for the record books. Riders and fans will never forget it.”

The finishing circuit at the end of the 2010 Amgen Tour of California’s Stage 5 in Bakersfield was a gut-wrenching fan favorite, so it was only natural to return to the scene and turn that circuit into an 18.4 mile Individual Time Trial course. Right from the start, the riders will go from zero to nearly 60 mph in a matter of seconds. The start ramp will launch them onto an immediate descent to Alfred Harrell Highway. From there, it will be a direct – but not exactly flat – route to the turnaround point at Lake Ming.

There will not be much in the way of flat roadway to catch your breath. The route is full of 100-foot rollers, and as the riders approach the finish, they’ll be able to see it… up on a 300-foot bluff. The prepared rider will have saved a little for China Grade, which presents an eight percent climb to the top and then a hard left, and it won’t be over there. The riders will still face a slightly uphill, .44-mile run to the finish.

A crowd of more than 10,000 lined Panorama Drive for the Stage Five Finish in 2010 and double that is anticipated in 2012. “Bakersfield’s central location means big crowds for the Individual Time Trial,” said David Lyman, Manager of the Bakersfield Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Also, no Central Coast city has a tour stop this year, so both the race and our local business should see lots of visitors.”

For those who think Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour of California sounds like a fun 40 minutes on the bike, come out and be part of a select group of amateurs that will get to race the course just before the pros start.

About the Amgen Tour of California The largest cycling event in America, the 2012 Amgen Tour of California is a Tour de France-style cycling road race, presented by AEG, which challenges the world’s top professional cycling teams to compete along a demanding course from May 13-20. Bakersfield is host to Stage 5: The Individual Time Trial on May 17, 2012.

Footnotes: 1Area: Metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) are designated by the Office of Management and Budget. MSAs generally cover one or more entire counties or county equivalents or New England City and Town Area (NECTA) in the six New England states. Each MSA is listed under the state in which the largest part of its population lives, even though the first (most populous) city in the MSA’s name may be in an adjoining state. There are 11 MSAs with more than 2,500,000 people. Employment in these MSAs is presented in two or more divisions (Div.) or subdivisions, rather than for the MSA as a whole.

2Industry: The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports employment for construction, mining and logging combined for six states, the District of Columbia and MSAs in which mining and logging have only a small number of employers. To facilitate comparisons between MSAs and the states they are in, AGC has calculated combined employment change in states for which BLS reports the industries separately.

3Rank: BLS currently provides construction (or combined construction, mining and logging) employment data for 337 metro areas. AGC calculated ranks based on the 12-month percent change, rounded to the nearest whole percent. Because BLS reports employment rounded to the nearest 100, it is not possible to calculate percent changes more accurately than to the nearest whole percent. Thus, all metro areas with the same whole-percent change in employment are ranked the same.
