PROCLAIM FEBRUARY 2025 AS SAFELY SURRENDERED BABY

AWARENESS MONTH IN ARVIN
(Fiscal Impact: None)
The purpose of this letter is to ask the Arvin City Council to proclaim February 2025 as Safely Surrendered Baby Awareness Month and to advise the community of planned events to highlight the importance of the Safely Surrendered Baby Law.

The Safely Surrendered Baby Law responds to the increasing number of newborn infant deaths due to abandonment in unsafe locations. First created in January 2001, the law’s intent is to save the lives of newborn infants at risk of abandonment by encouraging parents or persons with lawful custody to safely surrender the infant within 72 hours of birth, with no questions asked. Since 2006, Kern County has had 103 babies safely surrendered.

In Kern County, a newborn baby can be safely surrendered into the hands of any hospital emergency room or Fire Station staff. The Safely Surrendered Baby Coalition, under the coordination of the Department of Human Services, works to educate Kern County residents about this important law.

The coalition is led by the Department of Human Services, and includes a group of dedicated individuals representing a long list of agencies, non-profits, hospitals, and stakeholders, including First Five Kern, the Kern County Fire Department, Bakersfield City Fire Department, Bakersfield Pregnancy Center, Right to Life Kern County, Adventist Health Hospitals, Clinica Sierra Vista, Kern Family Healthcare, Koinonia Family Services, Kern County Public Health, and Ridgecrest Regional Hospital.

Our February Awareness Campaign will include, a Live Press Conference February 13, 2025 at Adventist Health Specialty located at 3100 Sillect Ave, Bakersfield CA 93308 beginning at 9:00am, over 15 presentations at collaborative agencies throughout Kern County and Public Services Announcements on social media, all in an effort to alert the community about the Safely Surrendered Baby Law as a much better option than abandoning a baby.

Therefore, IT IS RECOMMENDED that your Board proclaim February 2025 as Safely Surrendered Baby Awareness Month, prepare a proclamation and make presentation.

Sincerely,
Kristy Torres
Human Services Program Specialist
Communications Division

The coalition is made up of a small group of dedicated individuals representing a long list of agencies, non-profits, hospitals, and stakeholders, including First Five Kern, Kern County Fire Department, Right to Life Kern County, Adventist Health Hospitals, Clinica Sierra Vista, and Kern Family Healthcare to name a few.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: February 11, 2025
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager/Finance Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Amendment Number 2425-03 to Purchase Additional Assisted Listening Systems for Public Meetings.

BACKGROUND:

The City currently has 12 ALS (Assisted Listening System) devices used for interpretation during meetings. 12 devices are not sufficient considering the number of members of the public that attend the meetings and need interpretation. Staff recommends purchasing an additional 30 devices along with 4 charging trays.

There is currently $7,613 in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 general fund budget (supplies expense account) for this item; therefore, a budget adjustment is required in order to allocate funding for additional ALS devices. The budget adjustment will require the use of general fund reserves as the FY 24-25 budget was already in balance and did not have an allowance for contingencies.

Current general fund reserves are estimated at $2,000,000 or about 25% of one year’s general fund expense.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Council adopt budget amendment number 2425-03 to purchase 30 additional ALS devices and charging trays.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The cost of the ALS devices is approximately $11,468.14 which $11,468.14 will have to be pulled from general fund reserves.

Staff Report re: Authorization of Agreement with SJVAPCD for Road Projects

AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN

THE CITY OF ARVIN AND THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR
POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT (SJVAPCD) FOR AB617 ROAD

IMPROVEMENTS AND BIKE LANE INSTALLATION PROJECT(S) AND
AUTHORIZING RELATED ACTIONS.

BACKGROUND:

In January 2021, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) selected the City of Arvin as an AB617 community. The San Joquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) facilitates the program. The City’s Grant Manager has been on the AB 617 Community Steering Committee since its inception and participates in the meetings along with residents of Arvin and Lamont, local non-profit groups, and various State agencies.

In June of 2023, the Arvin Lamont Community Emissions Reduction Program (CERP) was approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the program offers multiple projects that will directly improve the quality of life for Arvin residents. The Steering Committee members worked together to establish the projects listed in the CERP, which reduce air pollution, ozone, and particulate matter and will improve the air quality in Arvin and Lamont.

On December 5, 2025, the Arvin/Lamont CSC convened during a regular AB617 in-person meeting. During this meeting, the CSC voted on and approved Arvin's proposal to value engineer all three road projects so that Arvin residents would ultimately benefit from all three projects moving forward to construction.

On January 16, 2025, the Valley Air District’s Board approved Arvin’s three proposed road improvements and bike lane installation projects for $5,882,630. The three projects are:
1) South Derby- (between Schipper and Tucker Street)road paving, striping, curb gutter, and sidewalks with ADA ramps with striped bike routes;
2) South A Street- (begins just north of Schipper Avenue to Bear Mountain Blvd.) road paving, striping, curb gutter, and sidewalks with ADA ramps with striped bike routes;

Staff Report re: Authorization of Agreement with SJVAPCD for Road Projects 3) Comanche Drive- (from Schipper to Shane Court and a section on the unpaved sidewalk between Bear Mountain and Varsity Avenue) with striped bike routes.

This is the last step that the Arvin City Council needs to take to move the projects into design.

City staff now seeks approval of an agreement between the City of Arvin and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District so that staff can begin the process of project design, preparing specs, preparing a competitive RFP, and project management.

Once the complete plans and specs are ready to bid, city staff will proceed with the competitive bid process and return to the council to approve a bid award. The estimated construction period is planned to begin in early Summer of 2025.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the resolution and agreement.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact; AB617 funds this project.

Page 2 of 2 with this article. Staff will forward the adopted ordinance to the State California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for their comments which may require additional changes. If comments are received, the ordinance will need to be further amended to address any changes. If HCD finds that any adopted ordinance enacted by a local jurisdiction is in any way inconsistent with state law, the ordinance is void. If this occurs, the ADU ordinance will require amending.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION:

The zoning code amendment 2025 to Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit, is Statutory Exempted, Section 15282(h), from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA. The adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone by a city or county to implement the provisions of Sections 66310-66342 of the Government Code as outlined in Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code). Additionally, the adopted Ordinance amends ADU regulations and implements the goals, policies, and programs of the City of Arvin Housing Element. The adopted amendments implement the adopted housing element program and are regulatory actions taken by the city. Lastly, due to their limited impact, state law deems ADUs to be ministerial projects and, therefore, exempt from CEQA. Staff has prepared a Draft Notice of Exemption for the Zoning Code Amendment 2024 - Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit, Attachment 2, FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Conversion of existing structures to an ADU not meeting the minimum setbacks shall be designed and/or retrofitted to meet the fire and building codes.

E. Parking requirements.

1. One (1) parking space shall be provided per ADU, where applicable.

Parking of vehicles shall not be within four (4) feet of the interior side yard and shall not be within six (6) feet of a corner side yard setbacks. The four (4) foot and six (6) foot non-parking areas are to ensure health and safety access by emergency personnel and site visibility at street intersections.

2. When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or converted to an ADU, replacement parking is not required. Off-street parking may be within the front yard setback area and may be designed as tandem parking or other design that accommodates off-street parking. The city code requires two (2) off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit but does not require garages nor carports for off-street parking. Therefore, two-off-street parking spaces are required and when required one (1) off-street parking for the ADU. As noted, tandem parking shall not block sidewalks or public access.

3. Exceptions. No parking shall be required for ADUs in any of the following instances:
i. The ADU is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit. ii. The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district. iii. The ADU is part of the proposed or existing primary residence or an accessory structure. iv. When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant(s) of the ADU. v. There is a car share vehicle located within one (1) block of the ADU. vi.

F. Architectural review. The construction of new ADUs shall be subject to Section 17.50.130 Single-family dwellings and mobile homes - Development/Architectural Standards. ADUs shall have the same exterior finish materials and roof form as the existing or proposed single-family or multi-family dwelling on the parcel.

G. Access and entry. Except for ADUs approved under Government Code Section 66323, an ADU shall have a separate entry from the primary residence and shall be from the side or rear yard.

Ordinance Adopting Zoning Code Amendment 2025-01 – Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit.

C. Fire sprinklers. Installation of fire sprinklers may not be required in ADUs (attached, detached, or conversion) where sprinklers were not required by building codes for the existing primary residence. For example, a detached single-family home designed and constructed decades ago would not have been required to have fire sprinklers installed under the applicable building code at the time. However, if the same primary dwelling recently underwent significant alteration and is now required to have fire sprinklers, any ADU created after that alteration must be provided with fire sprinklers. (Government Code Section 66314(d)(12) and 66323(c)) 65852.2, subds. (a)(1)(D)(xii) and (e)(3).) Please note, for ADUs created on lots with multifamily residential structures, the entire residential structure shall serve as the "primary residence" for the purposes of this analysis. Therefore, if the multifamily structure is served by fire sprinklers, the ADU can be required to install fire sprinklers. For additional guidance on ADUs and fire sprinkler system requirements, please consult the office of the state fire marshal. If fire sprinklers are not required for the primary residence, then installation of fire sprinklers is not required in an ADU. However, if the primary residence undergoes significant remodeling and is required to install fire sprinklers, an ADU created after the remodel would also be required to install fire sprinklers.

D. Solar panels. New ADUs are subject to the California Energy Code requirement (excluding manufactured homes) to provide solar systems if the unit(s) is a newly constructed, non-manufactured, detached ADU (though some exceptions apply). Per the California Energy Commission (CEC), the solar systems can be installed on the ADU or on the primary dwelling unit. ADUs that are constructed within existing space, or as an addition to existing homes, including detached additions where an existing detached building is converted from non-residential to residential space, are not subject to the Energy Code requirement to provide solar systems.

E. Flood elevation certification. All ADUs are required to comply with Chapter 15.32 Floodplain Management when the proposed ADU is located within the FEMA Flood Hazard area which has a one (1) percent annual chance for shallow flooding. If applicable, prior to the issuance of the building permit, compliance with Section 15.32.170(C) and (D) of the Arvin Municipal Code and prior to the issuance of the building permit, a flood certification shall be provided.

F. Building code compliance is required for all ADUs. The building division will not issue final building permits for an ADU before approval of building permits for the primary dwelling.

G. Kern County Fire Department Clearance shall be required prior to the issuance of a building permit for an ADU.

H. Other code compliance as may be applicable, such as but not limited to encroachment permits, lot mergers, lot line adjustments, etc.

17.51.080 Occupancy, rental, and sale limitations.

A. Owner occupancy shall not be required for ADUs.

B. Rental of ADUs shall be a minimum of thirty (30) days.

C. Separate conveyance. An ADU may be rented separate from the primary residence but may not be sold or otherwise conveyed separate from the primary residence, except when sold by a qualified nonprofit corporation to a qualified buyer in accordance with California Government Code Section 66340-66342 65852.26 with affordability restrictions. 17.51.090 Fee requirements.

A. Connection fees or capacity charges. An ADU shall not be considered to be a new residential use for the purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity chargers for utilities, including water and sewer service, unless the ADU was constructed with a new single-family dwelling. Where a new ADU and new residential unit is applied for and constructed, the new ADU and new residential unit shall pay the applicable sewer connection fee in place at the time of submittal.

B. Impact fees. Impact fees shall not be imposed on an ADU that is less than seven hundred fifty (750) square feet in size. For ADUs that are greater than seven hundred fifty (750) square feet in size, impact fees charged shall be proportionate in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.

D. Monthly charges for sewer and water. ADUs shall be subject to the monthly utility fees for wastewater. Water service is provided by Arvin Community Services District and as such an ADU may be subject to the monthly utility fees for domestic water service.

Jeffery Jones, City Manager / Finance Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Request for Continuance to the February 25, 2025, City Council Meeting – Arvin Community Services District Conditions and Improvement Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council, on January 28, 2025, conducted a public hearing and received Staff’s report and the Applicant’s appeal. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council directed Staff to work with the Applicant to revise the conditions of approval concerning improvements to Celestial Way and emergency access to the site.

DISCUSSION:

The Council requested that Staff bring the revised item back for consideration at the next scheduled meeting on February 11, 2025. However, additional time is needed to finalize discussions with the Applicant and to reach an agreement that ensures a thorough and thoughtful resolution to the matter. Considering the ongoing discussions with the Applicant and the need for further coordination, Staff respectfully requests that the City Council open the public hearing, then continue the item to the regular meeting on February 25, 2025. This should allow for additional time to complete these discussions and finalize the proposed revisions to the conditions of approval. The additional time will allow Staff to ensure that all concerns are addressed and that the revised conditions meet the best interests of the City and the Applicant.

FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Staff and Consultant time spent on this item is non-cost recoverable and will be incurred at the City’s expense.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend the City Council open the public hearing and continue the item to the next regularly scheduled meeting on February 25, 2025.
