Attachment D-2: Transformative Plan Summary
Grantee will implement each Transformative Plan in accordance with the Exhibit B: Budget and Schedule of Deliverables and the original intents described in each Plan summary included in this attachment. The inclusion of Transformative Plan summaries in this attachment should not be construed to create any additional obligations, conditions, warranties, policy rules, or duties for either party.

The summaries for each Transformative Plan are based on the narrative materials submitted by Grantees and Partners as part of the Round 5 TCC application process.

Community Engagement Plan (CEP)
I. Plan Overview
The City of Bakersfield and four community-based organizations with deep connections to the Project Area will implement a series of meetings and community events and utilize various engagement methods to ensure residents’ voices are centered throughout project implementation. These outreach methods, including digital media, print media, door-todoor canvassing, and partner hosted events will provide ample opportunity for resident input and guidance. In addition, the collaborative stakeholder structure will incorporate vehicles of accountability to the community and ensure resident members are part of the decision-making processes. Translation services and language access will be embedded in all communications and community meetings to ensure Project Area residents with language barriers can participate. Additionally, outreach will facilitate resident involvement in the development of the High-Speed Rail Station area, an investment which will catalyze the Bakersfield area. Resident input was foundational to the development of the Southeast Strong application and will be a critical part of the programs implementation.

II. CEP Summary
a. Engagement methods
The City and its partners will utilize multiple contact strategies, host community events, and work with the collaborative stakeholder group. Programming during the five-year program includes the following:
- Door-to-door canvassing
- Digital/Print Media Engagement

than 12 years of experience in hosting community meetings and moving our community to action for positive social change.

Bakersfield Senior Center (BSC): BSC will assist in ongoing community engagement through the community engagement plan. BSC has partnered with the City of Bakersfield to help bring resources and services to disabled seniors, veterans and elderly.

City of Bakersfield: The City of Bakersfield will oversee the community engagement plan implementation and facilitate all community events including paying for event spaces, printing, and equipment costs. Additionally, City will support the stakeholder structure and be a resource to community residents.
d. Plans to ensure engagement of hard-to-reach populations The City of Bakersfield is partnering with local organizations that have years of relationship building and community trust. The plan contains multiple programs and door-to-door canvassing to engage hard-to-reach populations. To ensure language access, materials will be available in English and Spanish and contain culturally sensitive messaging. Meetings and community events will provide many opportunities for resident engagement. e. Public information and public complaint process
The public information and complaint process will be filtered through the public meetings held by the Collaborative Stakeholder Structure.

IV. Brief History of Proposal Development
a. Community engagement process
b. Decision-making processes
Upon completion of the TCC Planning and the unsuccessful Round 4 implementation funding application, the City and its partners began working to enhance the City’s TCC application for Round 5. The City started with an outreach meeting to review the Round 4 application, receive feedback, and develop a monthly stakeholder group to work on the application. Thirty-four (34) individuals representing 18 different non-profits, government organizations, and residents began meeting in January 2023. During the process, one additional resident and four organizations joined the group. For Round 5, the City proposed focusing the application within the southeast portions of the initial TCC Planning Grant Area. The intent being to invest in the most disadvantaged census tracts in the initial application (ranging from the 98th – 100th percentile). City staff and other community stakeholders narrowed the project list to those that generally focused on Southeast Bakersfield (beginning south of California Avenue and east of Chester Avenue). After project vetting, the collaborative proposed a project priority process wherein residents reviewed the 23 projects and identify their top six priorities for investment. In total, City staff and its partners hosted five in-person meetings, five online meetings, and setup project proposal information booths at fifteen community events and spaces, including churches, festivals, senior affordable housing complexes, and Zumba classes a local non-profit to gather feedback. Additionally, a bi-lingual (Spanish and English) online platform was setup to provide 24/7 access to residents. In total, 358 residents provided response input over the 60-day project prioritization process. Of these, 318 were in-person votes whereby, 87.1% identified as African American or Hispanic, and 68.8% lived in zip codes that overlap with a portion of the focus area. Six votes were received from each participant and these votes, once accumulated, were used to identify our capital projects which are included in the round 5 grant application.

Displacement Avoidance Plan (DAP)
I. Plan Overview
The Displacement Avoidance Plan (DAP) will be led by City of Bakersfield and supported by the following partners: 3C Capital Fund Inc., Mission Community Services Corporation (Women’s Business Center of Kern), Ventura County Community Development Corporation, and Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance. Additionally, DAP programs will coordinate with the Community Engagement Plan and its partners to further the program’s outreach. Collectively, the partners involved in the DAP have been involved in providing Docusign Envelope ID: 7C4A79E1-08C6-4BFD-9B10-D35BE9F5C3DB Docusign Envelope ID: 3DE91B7B-2452-4911-8163-752A8FE1B5BC

legal services to impacted renters, supporting wealth building among low-income families, and assisting the growth/stability of minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses. The purpose of the DAP is to ensure that people who currently live or own businesses in the project area benefit from the proposed strategies, programs and investments and not only remain in the community but thrive in it. The partner organizations supporting the community engagement for the DAP have years of relationship building in the focus area and will serve as effective partners in engaging residents. The strategies of the DAP include know-your-rights education for residents, homebuyer education programs to support low-income residents in obtaining homeownership, increased outreach and engagement for small businesses in the area to access support programs, and technical assistance/consulting for small businesses.

II. Resident DAP Summary
a. Displacement vulnerability
i. A majority of the Project Area are single-family homes and has a homeownership rate of approximately 27.4%, 34% lower than the homeownership rate in Bakersfield (61% collectively). Currently there are less protections in the project area for residents then in recent years, particularly as eviction protections and rental support programs put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic sunset. In 2024 the City funded a pilot program to provide legal support services, however these funds are currently in place for a year and will depend on future allocations. Further, census tracts within the area are considered at risk of displacement, according to UC Berkeley’s Urban Displacement Project.

ii. Process of selecting new policies

1. The City of Bakersfield’s DAP Displacement Avoidance Plan will take a multi-prong approach to support residents in combating displacement in the project area. The policies and programs can be summarized as follows: stabilize, mobilize, and
transform. Stabilization strategies will include programs to maintain housing for renters by increasing tenant rights and responsibilities knowledge and making referrals to GBLA housing programs for legal services when tenants are faced with potential housing discrimination and/or eviction. These services will be focused in the Project Area to provide a specific focus as opposed to the citywide focus under City agreement 2024-170. Homebuyer support programs will help in directing residents into homeownership, thus providing an opportunity for wealth generation and financial stability. Lastly, the City will evaluate policies to transform development in the area. Policy considerations include an inclusionary housing ordinance, deferred impact fees to support affordable housing
development, and policy incentives to support new growth.

2. Programs and policies contained in the DAP were developed by the following: input during the Draft Housing Elements process, input during the Southeast Strong Fest hosted by the City of Bakersfield, and surveys collected for our transformative element development.
iii. Description of new policies that will fill the gap

1. Incentives for Inclusionary Housing: As identified in Bakersfield’s 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan, 37% of all
households in Bakersfield are cost-burdened (pay more than 30% of their income towards housing costs), with 75% of those households being low-income. Further, severe costs burdened significantly affect extremely-low and very-low income
households, representing 89% of rental households which are severely cost-burdened in the City. As such, new development spurred by investments in improving an area’s quality of life can disproportionately impact local residents by raising housing costs and increasing market values, which further drives Docusign Envelope ID: 7C4A79E1-08C6-4BFD-9B10-D35BE9F5C3DB Docusign Envelope ID: 3DE91B7B-2452-4911-8163-752A8FE1B5BC

EXHIBIT D - ATTACHMENTS
residents out of an area. An inclusionary housing policy ensures that a portion of new housing production is required to be set aside for lower-income residents, ensuring that future housing production provides options for residents at different income levels.

2. Residential Development Fee for Affordable Housing: Local governments can incentivize new development by increasing local funds to support these programs. In July 2021, the City of Bakersfield developed an Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which is currently funded at a local level through a sales tax known as the Public Safety and Vital Services Fund (PSVS). This proposal would increase local funding through an impact fee collected on new housing development which in turn supports affordable housing production. Increasing local funding for affordable housing will in turn increase production and help stabilize the rental market.

3. Just Cause Evictions: Just cause eviction policies support tenant’s ability to continue to stay housed and avoid eviction without just reason. Strengthening tenant protections and tenant education reduces displacement and provides
additional protection for renters. Evaluating and considering this program would mitigate the impacts of housing insecurity and reduce homelessness by protecting renters and their living situation.

4. Culturally Appropriate Tenants Rights Education: Project Area specific renters rights and responsibilities workshops help tenants understand their rights and responsibilities as renters.

Workshops are important because they help ensure tenants are not discriminated against and have a stable, safe, clean place to live, and other protections around security deposits, evictions, and rent increases. GBLA housing programs will accept referrals to provide legal services when low-income tenants in the project area are faced with potential housing discrimination and/or eviction.

5. Homebuyer Counseling/Coaching: Ventura County
Community Development Corporation (VCCDC) will assist
residents in building financial capacity through education, counseling, and lending products designed to reach
homeownership or home preservation goals. According to
Docusign Envelope ID: 7C4A79E1-08C6-4BFD-9B10-D35BE9F5C3DB Docusign Envelope ID: 3DE91B7B-2452-4911-8163-752A8FE1B5BC

EXHIBIT D - ATTACHMENTS
Prosperity Now 2023 Bakersfield Scorecard report citywide homeownership rates of 54.7% for Latinos and 34.8% for Black people, while Whites have a 63.2% homeownership rate. The overall homeownership rate within the project area is
significantly lower at about 27%. Policies underscored by VCCDC programs and services will provide additional
advantages for TCC priority area residents through Homebuyer Education and Homeownership programs. By enhancing
existing policies, VCCDC will provide housing stability by supporting an array of counseling and education, affordable mortgage products, and down payment assistance programs, that lead to enhancing a community’s vibrancy and prosperity. c. Implementation plan
i. Community engagement and feedback loops

1. The City is partnering with local organizations who will function as trusted messengers to engage residents in the focus area about these services. In addition, programs such as homebuyer counseling/education and right to council are crucial to supporting residents in the focus area and their ability to continue to live in their home, while advancing their well-being.

While resources are limited, the City intends to use these programs to demonstrate their continued need and efficacy, with the intent of pursuing future resources needed to sustain these programs.
ii. How the plan will address potential implementation challenges Challenges for implementation of these programs and policies will likely face different obstacles. Policies which incentivize density, mandate affordable rents on development, and
increase impact fees are often met with opposition from those who support less restrictions on housing production. Further, these policies risk not being formally adopted by City Council.

Staff will work diligently to ensure programs and policies for consideration are open to input, evaluated to a level that speaks specifically to local needs, and ensure information is presented in a way which allows for effective decision making. iii. The Collaborative Stakeholder Structure will include a working group which oversees the activities of the displacement avoidance partners.

Further, partners will report to the Leadership Council and the Community Steering Committee to ensure transparency in the partners activities and a continual feedback loop for implementation.

III. Small Business DAP Summary
a. Displacement vulnerability
The project area contains small businesses within the downtown area and small businesses that are located along main transportation corridors throughout Southeast Bakersfield. While there are some major employers in the area, generally the type of businesses that line these corridors are small businesses, including barbers, markets, restaurants, and other businesses that provide other goods and services.

Small, community-based businesses face displacement brought on because of higher income households moving into the focus area and other investments which in turn create new demand and competition for business placement. For example, the Chester Avenue corridor will connect the area to the HSR Station; however, this improvement may pose a threat to existing businesses along the corridor as a result of this connection. Further, investments at Dr. Martin Luther King Park and Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard may spur additional growth around these investments, thus creating competition for local businesses where there is currently vacant land and rents are low. b. Programs and policies to address vulnerability
i. Brief description of existing policies
The City began the Entrepreneurship Grant Program in July 2023 to assist local start-up and small businesses by awarding qualified applicants with grant funds from $5,000 up to $40,000. Funds may be used for a variety of purposes including mortgage or rent payments, license or permit fees, and utility payments. Program participants are required to receive technical assistance from city contracted partners prior to receiving funding.

This program will sunset with the expenditure and obligation requirements of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

i. Community engagement and feedback loops
The City will leverage the knowledge and expertise of its partners to fill gaps in capacity. The Women’s Business Center of Kern will be providing increased outreach regarding Small Business Programs. The Kern Women’s Business Center has a comprehensive outreach strategy to reach underserved businesses. The Center will actively seek partnerships and collaborations with community organizations, business associations, chambers of commerce, and other community stakeholders. The Center will also include training to ensure staff members understand and respect diverse cultural backgrounds when engaging with minority business owners. By utilizing partnerships, targeted marketing, culturally competent approaches, and language accessibility, the Center will ensure that its resources and support reach those who need them most.
ii. How the plan will address potential implementation challenges Many small business owners find it challenging to carve time out of their busy schedule to engage in opportunities that may help their business prosper. Some small businesses may not have trust in order to address these concerns, the City of Bakersfield is partnering with local small business support agencies who are considered trusted messengers and have already done the groundwork of reaching into the community to support these business owners. In addition, ongoing engagement and programmatic structures, such as information delivery and scheduling for technical assistance, will be conducted in a way which is conducive to local businesses. Information on opportunities and programs will be delivered in a way which minimizes the impact of the business’ operation.

The Workforce Development Plan will lead by the City of Bakersfield and implemented in partnership with Kern Community College District (KCCD), Kern County Employers’ Training Resource (Kern ETR), and the Kern County Black Chamber of Commerce (KCBCC). The plan builds on existing programming, analysis and recommendations from local economic development plans such as the City of Bakersfield’s Economic Development Strategic Plan and the City of Bakersfield’s TCC Planning Grant, and input from residents through outreach to enhance a series of trainings, programs, and programmatic services to support residents in the area.

Services will focus on advancing training and job access in southeast Bakersfield, one of the most disadvantaged regions in the State of California. Combined with mobile access and transportation support, the program will be providing on-the-job training, certifications, and placements with the goal of placing residents in “Quality Job” positions, defined in the B3K Prosperity Neighborhood Initiative as $21.80 an hour, and in key industries which are part of the regions blueprint for growth with a focus on industries that will create opportunities as the state transitions to a net zero economy. Programs funded under the TCC program will include certification programs in construction trades, entrepreneurship and business startup programs, and certificates to advance resident skillsets and employment in the local economy.

iv. Track record of job placement and retention rates
The focus area has low levels of educational attainment, is lower income, and is a predominantly Hispanic/Latino community. Respectively, only about 2.7% percent of the population in the area has a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 20.5% for the City of Bakersfield and 32.5% for California. The median household income for the Project Areas overlapping census tracts fall within 25.2% to 83.4% of the Kern County median income and 17.3% to 57.2% of the statewide median income. Of the approximate 5,002 residents 16 years of older employed in full-time living in the area, 21.3% work in agriculture, 14.5% in education, health, and social service, 11.6% in manufacturing, and 12.5% in food service.

According to the B3K market assessment, the area has a large flux of low paying jobs, thus limiting mobility opportunities. Further, educational attainment in the area matches the impact to income earnings, which often draw a regional correlation in earnings.

Through community outreach, residents identified access to training opportunities and higher paying jobs as community barriers. As such, the need for workforce development in the focus area consists of increasing access to jobs and training opportunities to open prospects to higher wages. The four implementing partners will partner with the City of Bakersfield, the collaborative stakeholder members, community-based organizations, community outreach partners, local workforce development boards, host workshops, and utilize language access to ensure programs reach deep within the community and further access for residents, particularly those with barriers to employment.

Collectively, partners will provide training, certifications, and contractor education which align with TCC’s criteria for workforce programming. The Southeast Strong workforce development element provides multiple avenues to address residents’ skill gaps, increase income potential, and further employment access. Partners will implement specific programs while working through the collaborative stakeholder structure and other mechanisms to share resources.

Kern Community College District (KCCD): KCCD’s workforce training program is designed to prepare Project Area residents for long-term, high-quality career pathways, specifically focusing on greenhouse gas reduction industries. Program participants will earn industryrecognized credentials in areas such as Intro to Clean Energy, Solar installation, Basic Construction and Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Safety. Employers in greenhouse gasreducing industries value these credentials because employers recognize these certifications as proof of a worker’s technical competence, making it easier for participants to secure well-paying and stable jobs in green sectors. These programs will open doors to career pathways in sectors such as EV and solar energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable Docusign Envelope ID: 7C4A79E1-08C6-4BFD-9B10-D35BE9F5C3DB Docusign Envelope ID: 3DE91B7B-2452-4911-8163-752A8FE1B5BC

construction. Collectively, these programs will provide transferable technical skills and soft skills that are valuable across various industries.

To ensure high participation and completion rates, KCCD’s training program will offer support services such as financial assistance, flexible training schedules, remedial education or skills assessment, mentorship and peer support networks, and childcare or transportation assistance. Given these support systems, the typical placement rates are around 70% depending on applicant’s prior experience and employment barrier.

KCCD program participants will be placed in high-quality jobs that align with their training and career aspirations. KCCD’s workforce training program will establish strong partnerships with local workforce development boards and industry-specific employers to ensure the smooth transition of graduates into high-quality jobs. Employers from green energy companies, construction firms, and environmental consulting agencies will be engaged to provide direct hiring opportunities. Recruitment efforts will include tailored events focused on specific sectors with companies committed to hiring program graduates in high-quality jobs. Career pathways will focus on living wages, comprehensive benefits, opportunities for advancement, geographic access, safe working conditions, and include introductions to the benefits of working with a trade union. Historically, KCCD’s placement rate is about 70% with over 90% retaining employment for six months.

Kern Employer Training Resources (KETR): KETR will utilize on-the-job training, work experience (including paid apprenticeships), educational programs, career/technical programs, and provide supportive services to support residents in obtaining industry recognized training and high-quality job placement. Specifically, KETR will enroll participants in the MC3 Pre-Apprenticeship program to support heavy construction industries and the Recycling Lives program to provide basic safety and equipment operation. While these skills serve access to a variety of industries, KETR’s programs will target opportunities in industries such as wind and solar.

To ensure course completion, KETR will provide participants with wrap-around services and continual monitoring for any barriers that inhibit participants to succeed in their training or new employment opportunity. KETR Case Managers will oversee participants by connecting them to employment opportunities that meet the definition of “Quality Jobs” and align with their training. To monitor program success, KETR will track participants training completion rates through CalJOBS. Each program is different and the TCC grant programs are new opportunities that have not been tracked previously, except for the Recycling Lives program which has an 85% placement rate.

Women’s Business Center of Kern (WBCK): WBCK will provide entrepreneurship and education for individuals looking to start small businesses.

owners and entrepreneurs, including minority-owned and hard-to-reach individuals. Upon completion of the program, participants will receive a certificate of completion utilizing coursework developed by the Kauffman Foundation FastTrack Business Plan Curriculum.

Included in the curriculum includes a business plan to support capital access. Coursework will utilize the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to support individuals interested in the green energy and environmental sectors. Course completion rate is 87% for WBCK program, and this past fiscal year, clients created 52 new businesses and 136 jobs (full-time and part-time).

Kern County Black Chamber of Commerce (KCBCC): KCBCC will further the opportunity for local contractors and residents to participate in the Southeast Strong capital investments.

KCBCC will facilitate contractor education courses and resident workshops to connect businesses and residents to programs and projects implementers. Bi-annual workshops will focus on contract bidding opportunities and host local construction trades to connect training opportunities to residents. The goal of these workshops is to prepare local contractors to compete for program funded contracting opportunities and connect residents to existing construction skill trades.

Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Plan (CARP)
I. Plan Overview
Each project proposed in the Southeast Strong application will foster climate adaptation and resilience in the Project Area. Not only will these projects aid in reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, but they will also generate community resilience to climate change, and aid in reducing risk factors that make the community more vulnerable to climate change impacts. With this climate process, each of the TCC proposed projects will prioritize and increase the resiliency and functionality through various indicators and metrics:
• Drought-tolerant urban greening trees/plants to lessen water consumption and reduce groundwater over drafting
• Access to multimodal transportation allowing for fewer cars to be on the roads; access to EV charging stations and emission-free car sharing services. • Tree planting along improved bicycle lanes to avoid extreme heat exposure for cyclists and protect pedestrian amenities and reduce urban heating. • Durability of equipment used for solar and appliances that lessen the intake of grid power but provided energy efficiency.
• Increasing more urban greening zones through the creation of gardens and tree plantings with efficient irrigation drip systems to minimize water consumption while providing cleaner air quality.

EXHIBIT D - ATTACHMENTS
The Climate Change risks and exposures within the Project Area, such as additional days of extreme heat, have impacts to the built environment by increasing ground level ozone and PM level. Residents in the Project Area are disproportionately impacted by being unable to use transit, bike or walk on extreme heat days. The extreme heat impacts the health of the workers and their ability to work, and drought reduces the production of crops which the local economy relies on. Bakersfield is located at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley.
ii. Impacts of risks and exposures on vulnerable populations and the built environment
Rising temperatures, extended droughts, and wildfires will further strain power generation and transmission infrastructure resulting in additional power outages, which negatively impacts residents, businesses, and city services, and are life-threatening if people cannot power medical devices. An increase in the number of days of extreme heat also compounds air quality issues due to urban heat island effects and the impact on people’s health, especially children and the elderly. On average, urban heat islands are 5 to 7 degrees warmer during the day, and as much as 22 degrees higher at night. b. Adaptation Measures in TCC Project
i. Measures to address risks of vulnerable populations
The Climate Change related health risks to senior citizens and children are significant.

Seniors are disproportionately impacted by extreme heat, and bad air quality in the San Joaquin Valley puts children at risk of asthma. The Bakersfield Senior Center currently provides seniors with a designated clean air facility to avoid poor air quality days during wildfires, where smoke and ash fill the air. It is also a haven for seniors to avoid extreme heat days to cool off.
ii. Measures to increase resiliency of proposed infrastructure projects The proposed active transportation projects will help reduce GHG impacts which will result in reducing the impacts of GHG on the Climate. The proposed solar project will help energy resilience and reduce GHG emissions. For low-income families, who are disproportionately impacted during extreme weather events, will benefit by decreased electricity bills that solar installations and other weatherization improvements will make possible.

Attachment D-4: Reporting Schedule
See Section 12. Reporting Requirements for additional details. Note that Project Completion Reports have not been included in the schedule, because they will be completed on a rolling basis once individual projects are completed.

Progress Reports are due every two months and are to be submitted as a component of the invoice package.

Annual Reports include an annual progress report; relevant indicator reporting; reports on leverage projects; and an equipment inventory.

The Final Report must be submitted at the end of the Project Completion Period. If all Projects have been completed and the Grantee has fulfilled all requirements for the Project Completion Period, the Final Report may be submitted prior to the end of the Project Completion Period, September 2028.

The Performance Period will vary for each Funded Project and will begin immediately after each Funded Project is completed, if applicable (see Section 1, Definitions). If the Grantee has fulfilled all requirements for the Project Completion Period and Performance Period, the SGC Indicator Tracking may terminate earlier than the end of the grant term, April 2029.

I. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Proper Identification: All trees shall be true to name as ordered or shown on planting plans and shall be labeled individually or in groups by species and cultivar (as appropriate).

Compliance: All trees shall comply with federal and state laws and regulations requiring inspection for plant disease, pests, and weeds. Inspection certificates required by law shall accompany each shipment of plants. Clearance from the local county agricultural commissioner, if required, shall be obtained before planting trees originating outside the county in which they are to be planted. Even though trees may conform to county, state, and federal laws, the buyer may impose additional requirements.

Inspection: The buyer reserves the right to reject trees that do not meet specifications as set forth in these guidelines or as adopted by the buyer. If a defect or substandard element can be corrected easily, appropriate remedies shall be applied. If destructive inspection of a root ball is to be done, the buyer and seller shall have a prior agreement as to the time and place of inspection, number of trees to be inspected, and financial responsibility for the inspected trees.

Delivery: The buyer shall stipulate how many days prior to delivery that delivery notification is needed.

Buyer shall stipulate any special considerations to the nursery prior to shipment.

II. HEALTH AND STRUCTURE SPECIFICATIONS
These specifications apply to deciduous, broadleaf evergreen, and coniferous species. They do not apply to palms. Note that leaf characteristics will not be evident on deciduous trees during the dormant season.

Crown: The form and density of the crown shall be typical for a young specimen of the species or cultivar. The leader shall be intact to the very top of the tree.

Leaves: The size, color, and appearance of leaves shall be typical for the time of year and stage of growth of the species or cultivar. Trees shall not show signs of moisture stress as indicated by wilted, shriveled, or dead leaves.

Branches: Shoot growth (length and diameter) throughout the crown shall be appropriate for the age and size of the species or cultivar. Trees shall not have dead, diseased, broken, distorted, or otherwise injured branches.

Trunk: The tree trunk shall be relatively straight, vertical, and free of wounds (except properly made pruning cuts), sunburned areas, conks (fungal fruiting bodies), wood cracks, bleeding areas, signs of boring insects, cankers, girdling ties, or lesions (mechanical injury). The terminal bud on the leader shall be intact to the very top of the tree, and it shall be the highest point on the tree. A 15-gallon tree has a minimum caliper of 0.75 inches.

Roots: The root system shall be substantially free of injury from biotic (e.g., insects and pathogens) and abiotic (e.g., herbicide toxicity and salt injury) agents. Root distribution shall be uniform throughout the container substrate and shall be appropriate for the species or cultivar. At time of inspection and delivery, the root ball shall be moist throughout. Roots shall not show signs of excess soil moisture conditions as indicated by stunted, discolored, distorted, or dead roots.

relatively straight central leader (Figure 1). Heading
the tree is acceptable provided the central leader is
reestablished in the nursery.

Main branches (Figure 2) shall be well distributed
along the central leader, not clustered together. They
shall form a balanced crown appropriate for the cultivar or species.

The diameter of branches (Figure 3) that grow from the central leader, or trunk, shall be no larger than two-thirds (one-half is preferred) the diameter of the trunk measured just above the branch.

The largest branches shall be free of bark inclusions that extend into the branch union (Figure 4).

Small-diameter branches (Figure 5), particularly on trees less than 1-inch caliper, should be present along the lower trunk below the lowest main branch. These branches shall be no larger than 3/8 inch in diameter.

The trunk shall be free of wounds, sunburned areas, conks (fungal fruiting bodies), wood cracks, bleeding areas, signs of boring insects, cankers, or lesions. Properly made recent or closed pruning cuts are acceptable.

The trunk caliper (diameter) and taper (Figure 6) shall be sufficient so that the tree remains vertical without a stake.

The root collar (the uppermost roots) (Figure 7) shall be within the upper 2 inches of the soil media (substrate). The root collar and the inside portion of the root ball shall be free of defects, including circling, kinked, and stem-girdling roots. Roots at the surface should grow mostly straight to the side of the container. You may need to remove soil near the root collar to inspect for root defects.

The tree shall be well rooted in the soil media. Roots shall be uniformly distributed throughout the container, meaning that roots should not be concentrated at the bottom of the root ball. Some roots should contact the container wall in the top half of the root ball (Figure 7). When the container is removed, the root ball shall remain intact. When the trunk is lifted, both the trunk and root system shall move as one. The imprint of the liner or smaller container shall not be visible (Figure 7).

The root ball shall be moist throughout at the time of inspection and delivery. The roots shall show no signs of excess soil moisture as indicated by poor root growth, root discoloration, distortion, death, or foul odor. The crown shall show no signs of moisture stress as indicated by wilted, shriveled, or dead leaves or branch dieback.

Tree Planting
Selecting quality trees: Planting quality trees begins by selecting the right tree for the right location and choosing vigorous, structurally sound trees from the nursery.

Digging the hole: A firm, flat-bottomed hole will prevent trees from sinking. Dig the hole only deep enough to position the root collar even with the landscape soil surface (Figure 8). Use a rototiller or shovel to loosen soil in an area three times the size of the root ball.

This loose soil promotes rapid root growth and quick
establishment.

Installing the tree: Remove soil and roots from the top of the root ball to expose the root collar; cut away any roots that grow over the collar (Figure 9). Cut any roots that circle or mat along the sides and bottom of the root ball (Figure 10). The root collar shall be even with the landscape soil after planting (see Figure 9). Backfill with soil removed from the hole. Minimize air pockets by packing gently and applying water. Build a berm 4 inches tall around the root ball to help force water through the root ball. Enlarge the berm as the tree establishes.

Mulching: A layer of organic mulch, such as leaf litter, shredded bark, or wood chips, helps protect tree roots from temperature extremes and conserves soil moisture. Mulch also helps prevent grass from competing with the tree for water and nutrients. The mulched area makes it easier to operate mowers and weed eaters without hitting the trunk and compacting soil. Apply mulch to a depth of 3 to 4 inches (slightly thinner on top of the root ball) (Figure 11). Mulch should be kept 4 inches away from the trunk to prevent disease.

Staking: The method of staking is dependent on a tree’s ability to stand on its own and the location of the planting site. Staking is used to hold trees erect, allow the root ball to anchor, and protect the trunk from damage by equipment. Stakes should be removed when the tree can stand on its own and the root ball is anchored. Stakes should be positioned away from the tree and secured to the trunk at the point where the tree stands straight. Do not use wire or any strap that will girdle the tree or damage the bark. If a tree cannot stand straight on its own after staking, a splint stake tied directly to the trunk made of bamboo, spring steel, or a fiberglass rod may be used to straighten the upper trunk and/or leader. Avoid using square wood secondary stakes. Acceptable staking examples may be seen below (Figures 12, 13, and 14).

the root ball allows for rapid root growth and
quick establishment.

Trees that grow to be large are more structurally sound and cost-effective to maintain when trained with a central dominant leader that extends 30 feet or more into the
crown (Figure 15). Vigorous, upright branches and stems that compete with the central leader can become weakly
attached (Figure 15).

Trees with branches spaced along the central leader, or trunk (Figure 15) are stronger than trees with branches clustered together (Figure 15). Prune trees at planting to one central leader by removing or shortening (shown)
competing stems (Figure 16). All branches and stems shall be considerably shorter than the central leader after
pruning is completed (Figure 16).

Reduction cuts can be used on trees at planting to
subordinate branches that are codominant (Figure 20).

Some upright stems and branches can be removed entirely back to the trunk. Heading cuts may have to be used
occasionally.

Remove or shorten branches that are larger than half the trunk diameter at planting and every few years thereafter.

Shorten them by cutting back to a live lateral branch (Figure 17). This lateral branch shall be pointed away from the trunk and it should not be growing upright. The central leader shall be more visible in the crown center after pruning. Only largediameter branches need to be pruned because they compete with the leader and could be weakly attached (Figure 17, L).

Small branches (Figure 17, S) do not need pruning because they will not compete with the leader.

The best way to shorten large or long stems and branches is to cut them back to a live lateral branch (Figure 19). This slows growth on the pruned parts and encourages growth
in the dominant leader creating sound structure.

Remove larger branches by making three cuts. This
prevents the bark from peeling or splitting off the trunk below the cut. Make the final cut back to the branch collar (enlarged area around union of branch where it joins the trunk).

3.Prevent branches below the permanent crown from
growing larger than half the trunk diameter.

4.Space main branches along the central leader.

5.Reduce vigorous upright stems back to lateral branches or remove entirely (Figure 20, next page).

Irrigation
Consistent irrigation is critical for tree establishment. • Apply about 3 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter to the root ball 2 or 3 times per week for the first growing season.
• Increase volume and decrease frequency as the tree becomes established. Weekly irrigation during the second year and bimonthly irrigation during the third year should be sufficient for establishment.
• Once established, irrigation requirements depend on species, planting site, climate, and soil conditions.
• Irrigation devices should be regularly checked for breaks and leaks. • Consider use of recycled water when available and where the species will tolerate it and the recycled water quality is adequate.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tree species selected must be classified as very low, low, or moderate water use species in the WUCOLS IV or must be justified for the planting site(s) selected.

MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES PRACTICES
Minimum Data for Urban Tree Inventories
If a Green Schoolyards grant project conducts campus tree inventories, the below attributes should be included:
• Mapping coordinate. X and Y coordinate locations (latitude and longitude). Each tree and planting site will be located using GIS and/or GPS equipment. • Location. The tree’s physical location in relation to public Right of Way and/or public space will be recorded. (Optional and recommended: consider collecting distance and azimuth from buildings.)
• Species. Trees will be identified by genus and species. • Diameter. Tree trunk diameter will be recorded. This should be to the nearest 1-inch. • Stems. The number of stems a tree has will be recorded. • Condition. In general, the condition of each tree will be recorded in one of the following categories adapted from the rating system established by the International Society of Arboriculture:

Excellent 100%
Very Good 90%
Good 80%
Fair 60%
Poor 40%
Critical 20%
Dead 0%
• Maintenance need. The following maintenance categories (or similar approved by CAL FIRE prior to collection) will be collected:

1. Priority 1 Removal. Trees designated for removal have defects that cannot be costeffectively or practically treated. Most of the trees in this category will have a large percentage of dead crown and pose an elevated level of risk for failure. Any hazards that could be potential dangers to persons or property and seen as potential liabilities would be in this category. Large dead and dying trees that are high liability risks are included in this category. These trees are the first ones that should be removed.

2. Priority 2 Removal. Trees that should be removed but do not pose a liability as great as the first priority will be identified here. This category would need attention as soon as “Priority One” trees are removed.

3. Priority 3 Removal. Trees that should be removed, but that pose minimal liability to persons or property, will be identified in this category.

4. Priority 1 Prune. Trees that require priority one pruning are recommended for trimming to remove hazardous deadwood, hangers, or broken branches. These trees have Docusign Envelope ID: 7C4A79E1-08C6-4BFD-9B10-D35BE9F5C3DB Docusign Envelope ID: 3DE91B7B-2452-4911-8163-752A8FE1B5BC CAL FIRE Urban & Community Forestry 22/23 Grant Guidelines broken or hanging limbs, hazardous deadwood, and dead, dying, or diseased limbs or leaders greater than four inches in diameter.

5. Priority 2 Prune. These trees have dead, dying, diseased, or weakened branches between two and four inches in diameter and are potential safety hazards.

6. Large Tree Routine Prune. These trees require routine horticultural pruning to correct structural problems or growth patterns, which would eventually obstruct traffic or interfere with utility wires or buildings. Trees in this category are large enough to require bucket truck access or manual climbing.

7. Small Tree Routine Prune. These trees require routine horticultural pruning to correct structural problems or growth patterns, which would eventually obstruct traffic or interfere with utility wires or buildings. These trees are small growing, mature trees that can be evaluated and pruned from the ground.

8. Training Prune. Young, large-growing trees that are still small must be pruned to correct or eliminate weak, interfering, or objectionable branches to minimize future maintenance requirements. These trees, up to 20 feet in height, can be worked with a pole-pruner by a person standing on the ground.

9. Stump Removal. This category indicates a stump that should be removed.

10.Plant Tree. During the inventory, vacant planting sites will be identified by street and address. The size of the site is designated as small, medium, or large (indicating the ultimate size that the tree will attain), depending on the growing space available and the presence of overhead wires.
• Clearance Required. Trees, which are causing or may cause visibility or clearance difficulties for pedestrians or vehicles, will be identified, as well as those trees blocking clear visibility of signs or traffic signals.
• Hardscape Damage. Damage to sidewalks and curbs by tree roots are noted. Notes on potential fixes for the problem are encouraged (redesign options etc.…) • Overhead Utilities. The inventory indicates whether overhead conductors or other utilities are present at the tree site that could result in conflicts with the tree. • Grow space. The area within the growing space is categorized as:

T Tree Lawn
W Well/Pit
M Median
P Raised Planter
O Open/Unrestricted
I Island
U Unmaintained Area
• Space Size. The narrowest dimension of the Grow Space, in feet. (I.e., 3’x3’ cut-out, 4’ parkway strip, open parkland, etc.).

Urban Forest Management Plan Best Practices
If a Green Schoolyards grant project includes the development of a management plan, the below should be included:
• Management plans must be informed by the constituents of the school/school district that have been/will be authentically engaged in the plan’s creation. • Management plans must be developed based on reliable, collected data, such as a tree inventory, urban forest mapping and analysis, urban forest economic analysis, etc. • Management plans must be a long term (40-50 year), comprehensive document, not solely a maintenance plan.
• Management plans must address the entire school/school district in some form (regulations, incentives, best practices, etc.).
• There shall be a provision for periodic review of any urban forest management plan. • A management plan must be referenced in an ordinance, a general plan element, or be officially adopted by the governing body in another binding, enforceable way as approved by CAL FIRE staff.
• Any management plan must set a tree canopy cover goal for the jurisdiction. The goal must, at minimum, maintain the current tree canopy cover level (No Net Loss policy). • Management plans must address the following: tree maintenance (including best management practices), wildfire (if applicable), urban wood utilization, and roles of the jurisdiction’s agencies. This may be done by referencing other policy documents.

CAL FIRE Recommends: Grantees should strongly consider using the following resources. • SelecTree: Identify suitable species with desirable attributes. • Vibrant Cities Lab: “The US Forest Service, American Forests and the National Association of Regional Councils created Vibrant Cities Lab to help city managers, policymakers and advocates build thriving urban forest programs”.
• UFMP Toolkit. Provides a “how-to” approach to develop an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). The toolkit will lead you through a planning process and provide helpful references and additional tools.
• The American Public Works Association guide for Urban Forest Management Plans. • iTree. A series of urban forest analysis tools are available for free on the iTree website. • Arbor Day Foundation's Tree City USA. All cities engaging in Management Activities Grants should consider applying for Tree City USA status. It is a free municipal recognition program that has been in existence since 1976. A CAL FIRE Regional Urban Forester can assist you with this.

The City of Bakersfield conforms to the Political Reform Act's standards in determining whether a public official has a financial conflict of interest that is reasonably foreseeable and material. In the event of a conflict of interest, public officials will typically need to disqualify themselves from the decision. There are five types of financial interests as set forth below.
• Business Entity: A Member has a financial interest in a business entity where the Member, his spouse, or dependent children has invested $2,000 or more. A Member also has a financial interest in a business entity for which the Member is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holds any position of management.
• Real Property: A Member has a financial interest in real property in which the Member, his spouse, dependent children, or an agent has invested $2,000 or more. This may also include certain leasehold interests of terms more than a month. Conflict of interest rules regarding real property are broken into two categories:
o Property within 500 feet of decision: A Member may not participate in the decision unless they have received written advice from the FPPC that the decision will have no measurable impact on the value of the Member's property.
o Property outside 500 feet of decision: A Member must consider whether the decision "would cause a reasonably prudent person, using due care and consideration under the circumstances, to believe that the governmental decision was of such a nature that its reasonably foreseeable effect would influence the market value of the Member's property."
Sources of Income: A Member has a financial interest in anyone, whether an individual or an organization, from whom the Member has received (or been promised) $500 or more income within 12 months prior of the decision.

A "source of income" includes a community interest in the spouse's income.
• Gifts: A Member has a financial interest in anyone, whether an individual or an organization, who has given gifts to the Member that total $470 or more within 12 months prior to the decision. A "gift" is defined as any payment or other benefit that confers a personal benefit for which a public Member does not provide payment or services of equal or greater value.

April 22, 2022
To: Executive Branch Departments and Agencies
Re: Executive Order N-6-22 regarding Sanctions Against Russia (¶¶ 4-5) On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (the EO) regarding sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals. The EO directs all agencies and departments (Agencies) that are subject to the Governor’s authority to take certain steps described below. Constitutionally independent state entities are encouraged to take these steps as well.

On March 16, 2022, the Department of General Services (DGS) and the California Department of Technology (CDT) issued a Joint Memo offering guidance for compliance with EO Paragraphs #1, #2, and #3.

This Joint Memo provides guidance to assist state agencies with compliance concerning EO Paragraphs #4 and #5. Agencies should continue to involve their legal counsel in compliance efforts and decisions and to keep written records in each applicable contract or grant file demonstrating compliance efforts.

Agencies are recommended to comply with EO Paragraphs #4 and #5 within 45 days of the date of this Joint Memo.

Defined Terms:
• “Contract” refers to all types of agreements and grants, regardless of form (e.g., Std 213, Std 65, Fi$Cal PO, etc.).
• “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law.
• “Paragraphs” refers to the EO’s operative paragraphs.

Compliance with Paragraphs #4 and #5:

Paragraph #4 within the EO provides:

All agencies and departments subject to my authority shall direct grantees, and contractors with agreements valued at $5 million or more, to report to the agency or department regarding their compliance with economic sanctions.

Docusign Envelope ID: 7C4A79E1-08C6-4BFD-9B10-D35BE9F5C3DB Docusign Envelope ID: 3DE91B7B-2452-4911-8163-752A8FE1B5BC Please note that since the March 2022 joint guidance memo, the federal government has imposed new sanctions on Russia and Russian entities and individuals. Agencies are advised to regularly check the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s list of sanctioned individuals and entities at the following sites:
• https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctionsprograms-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions; • https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0608; and • https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/recent-actions.

Agencies may wish to sign up for email updates from the U.S. Department of the Treasury as well.

Paragraph #5 within the EO provides:

All agencies and departments subject to my authority shall direct all grantees, and contractors with agreements valued at $5 million or more, to report on steps they have taken in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, including, but not limited to, desisting from making new investments in, or engaging in financial transactions with, Russian entities, not transferring technology to Russia or Russian entities, and directly providing support to the government and people of Ukraine.

In order to comply with Paragraphs #4 and #5 of the EO:
• Agencies should identify all current contracts and grants valued at $5 million or more.
o “Valued at $5 million or more” includes contracts and grants with a value to the contractor or grantee of $5 million or more, even if the amount paid by the Agency to the contractor or grantee is less than $5 million or is zero. This includes, but is not limited to, revenue-generating agreements, in-kind agreements, concessions, and agreements where the contractor receives payments from the public or a third party.
o For example, in some recycling contracts, the state does not make any payments to the contractor, but the value of the contract is based on the monetary value to the contractor of the recycled materials they collect from the state. See, e.g., State Contracting Manual volume 1, sections

3.16.B and 7.45.
• Agencies should determine the appropriate addressee names and addresses for notices and information related to such contracts and grants. • Agencies must notify such contractors and grantees of the reports contemplated in EO Paragraphs #4 and #5 and how to they can submit them (see a template notice below). Agencies should recommend that contractors/grantees consult their own legal counsel as needed regarding compliance with sanctions and reporting to the state.

• Attached is a template notice and contractor/grantee response form that Agencies should use for EO Paragraphs #4 and #5. These notices may be sent and responded to electronically.
• Agencies should ensure the notice clearly informs contractors/grantees where to send their reports.
• Agencies should keep track of contractor and grantee reports. • Agencies that have more than one contract/grant valued at $5 million or more with a single contractor/grantee may send and receive one EO Paragraph #4 and #5 notice and report for each such contractor/grantee; however, each applicable contract/grant file should include copies of the response form and report. • Please note that for contracts issued by DGS or CDT on behalf of an Agency, the Agency is responsible for sending the EO Paragraph #4 and #5 notices and receiving contractor reports.
• For Leveraged Purchase Agreements (LPAs), DGS will issue the EO Paragraph #4 and #5 notices for Contracts with statewide usage valued at or above $5 million. DGS will then provide Agencies with the list of LPA contractors DGS contacted. If, after receiving that list, an Agency determines it has any LPA Contracts valued at or above $5 million that are not on the DGS list, the Agency is responsible for issuing the EO Paragraph #4 and #5 notices for those.

Further Guidance and Contacts:

DGS and CDT will issue further guidance shortly regarding EO Paragraph #6, including language for future contracts and solicitations.

For questions relating to CDT contracts, please contact:

Lisa Cooper

For other questions regarding this Memo, please contact your DGS-OLS assigned attorney.

Staff recommends approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND: On September 11, 2019, the City Council unanimously voted to pursue the addition of private security patrols to the areas of the City most impacted by increases in crime. The pilot project resulted in a positive impact upon the areas in which the Prevention Patrol Strategy was deployed.

Prevention Patrol is another means by which the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) will achieve its mission, "to partner with our community to protect the lives and property of the people we serve.” After a successful pilot program with Trans-West Security Services, Inc. the BPD solicited a Request for Proposals (RFP) on May 26, 2024, to continue private security patrols. Upon review of the submittals, designated Bakersfield Police Department staff determined that the proposal submitted by Trans-West was the most comprehensive, cost-beneficial, and overall best suited to meet the community's needs.

On August 17, 2022, the City entered into Agreement No. 2022-160 in the amount of $493,904.40 and a term date of June 30, 2023, for patrol services.

On June 28, 2023, the City entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2022-160 and increased compensation by $500,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $993,904.40 and extended the term date to June 30, 2024.

On June 26, 2024, the City entered into Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2022-160 and increased compensation by $500,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $ 1,493,904.40 and extended the term date to June 30, 2025.

Due to the continued success of the private patrol services the City desires to increase compensation by $500,000 for a total compensation of $1,993,904.40 and extend the term date to June 30, 2026, to continue high-visibility patrol services.

Funds for these services were budgeted in the public Safety and Vital Servies operating budget.

President/ CEO
BPD-Prevention Patrol- Request for Pricing Justification May 23, 2025
Stacey,
Thank you for the opportunity to continue serving the Bakersfield Police Department- Prevention Patrol Program. We are honored by the trust you have placed in us over the last 5 plus years and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and reliability that BPD expects and deserves.

As per your request, we respectfully submit the following rationale in support of our proposed rate adjustment for the upcoming contract year.

State-Mandated Wage Increases:

California’s steadily rising minimum wage laws have significantly increased labor costs across the private security industry. Effective January 1, 2025, the state minimum wage rose to $16.50 per hour, with some jurisdictions exceeding this baseline. In addition, Senate Bill 525 introduced a tiered wage increase structure for healthcare-adjacent workers, which indirectly affects security officers stationed at educational or public facilities by raising wage expectations across the sector.

To remain compliant, competitive, and attract qualified personnel, we have adjusted our wage scales accordingly. These increases are strictly aligned with state requirements and do not represent discretionary raises.

Health Insurance & Compliance Costs:

Trans-West remains committed to providing comprehensive health insurance and benefits to our officers.

Over the past year, our insurance premium costs have increased by approximately 12%, driven by broader trends in the healthcare market. In addition, we invest significantly in regulatory compliance, including:
- California labor law mandates (e.g., rest and meal break tracking) - Real-time GPS and reporting systems
- Ongoing safety and de-escalation training
These systems are critical in supporting accountability and transparency, and they ensure we exceed the City’s safety expectations.

Local Presence, Service Continuity & Rapid Response:

Our ability to provide 24/7 rapid response and seamless staffing coverage - without disruption to Prevention Patrol operations—sets us apart from national firms. Despite inflationary pressures, we continue to:
- Maintain a local dispatch center with round-the-clock oversight - Deploy supervisory personnel during critical events
- Absorb increases in fuel, vehicle, and equipment costs to avoid separate surcharges This infrastructure ensures service continuity and safety for the CITY.

Commitment to Partnership & Flexibility:

We are open to continued dialogue regarding this proposal and welcome any feedback. Our goal is to ensure a mutually sustainable agreement that honors our shared priorities: student safety, budget accountability, and service excellence.

We appreciate the opportunity to continue serve the city through the Bakersfield Police DepartmentPrevention Patrol Program and look forward to another successful year together. Please see the rates down below.

Current All Inclusive Rates:

Regular Rate: $33.78 per hour
Overtime/Holiday Rate: $50.67 per hour
New- Proposed All Inclusive Rates:

Regular Rate: $34.79 per hour
Overtime/Holiday Rate: $52.19 per hour

MEETING DATE: June 25, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - PSVS TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: June 13, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2023-163 with Valley Pressure Pros, Inc. (not to exceed $885,300) for the provision of biohazard cleaning services in the Downtown and Old Town Kern area (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND:

As part of the homelessness response, the City has operated the Biohazard Cleanup program to the most impacted areas of the City, Downtown and Old Town Kern neighborhoods, since September 2019.

The program has been praised by residents and downtown businesses alike for its effectiveness. Due to its success, the area of contracted services and hours of operation were expanded in Mach 2021.

On June 28, 2023, the City Council approved Agreement No. 2023-163 with Valley Pressure Pros, Inc. for the provision of biohazard cleaning services in the Downtown and Old Town Kern area of Bakersfield.

Biohazard clean-up services are provided 6.5 hours per day, 6:00AM to 1:00PM (with a 30-minute lunch break), Monday through Friday. The contractor provides a monthly report in excel spreadsheet format delineating and elaborating upon all service calls during the monthly reporting period. This agreement was extended to June 30, 2025, and appropriate compensation added in an amount not to exceed $590,200.00 by City Council on June 13, 2024.

Proposed Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2023-163, would extend the contract term date to June 30, 2026, and add appropriate compensation in an amount not to exceed $885,300.00.

Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2023-163 with Valley Pressure Pros, Inc., to add appropriate compensation in an amount not to exceed $885,300.00 and extend the contractual termination date to June 30, 2026.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Deferred Business TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager
DATE: June 25, 2025
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget

1. Resolution Approving and Adopting the Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets for the City of Bakersfield, CA for the Fiscal Year 2025-26

2. Resolution Establishing the City of Bakersfield Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26

3. Resolution Approving and Adopting the Master Fee Schedule for the City of Bakersfield, CA for the Fiscal Year 2025-26
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the Resolutions.

BACKGROUND:

This administrative report and three items before the City Council are related to the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 City of Bakersfield operating and capital improvement budgets and Master Fee Schedule.

The first item is a resolution adopting the FY 2025-26 budget, totaling $852,717,360. The budget is comprised of the operating budget, including transfers, totaling $765,248,355, and the capital improvement budget totaling $87,469,005. The proposed budget reflects the funding of the City’s operating cost, including $114,960,000 in Bakersfield Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) Measure appropriations and funding of various capital improvements for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

The second item is a resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2025-26 appropriations limit of $621,517,953 as part of the budget adoption process for Council consideration. The City’s appropriations are subject to the limit total of $330,701,195. Therefore, the proposed appropriations are significantly below the maximum limit allowed by State law.

The appropriations limitation imposed by Proposition 4 (1979) and later amended by Proposition 111 (1990) creates a restriction on the amount of government revenue that may be appropriated in any fiscal year. The appropriations limit applies only to those revenues defined as “proceeds of taxes,” such as property tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax. The appropriations limit is based on actual appropriations during the base year (1986-87) and increases each year using specified growth factors.

According to the Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 7910, local governments must establish their appropriations limit by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled meeting or a properly noticed special meeting. During any fiscal year, a government entity may not appropriate any proceeds of taxes received more than the appropriations limit.

The appropriations limit is different for each agency and the limit changes each year. For calculation purposes, the appropriations limit from the previous fiscal year is increased based on population growth and inflation factors as provided by the State Department of Finance.

The third item is a resolution adopting the FY 2025-26 Master Fee Schedule.

In addition, CalPERS requires all member agencies to have a publicly available pay schedule. The City has historically made this information available within its adopted budget document and on the City's website.

The requirement provides that the governing body of public agencies approve and adopt this schedule at a regularly scheduled public meeting. Therefore, the approval of this item is necessary to comply with CalPERS regulations. The attached schedule reflects the most current pay schedule for all positions, inclusive of any rate adjustments as a result of previously approved labor processes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget authorizes expenditures necessary to support citywide operations, services, and capital improvement projects. The proposed budget is balanced and aligns available resources with projected expenses while maintaining compliance with State appropriations limits. The budget also includes continued investment in public safety, infrastructure, and other priority services identified by the City Council.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Innovative and Efficient City Government
