The Excellence in Action (EIA) CARES awards recognize City employees and teams who embody one or more of the City of Bakersfield guiding principles while making a positive contribution to overall workplace success, by significantly contributing to major projects or activities started by the City or having an impact within the organization daily. The guiding principles, known as CARES, stand for Collaboration, Accountability, Resourceful, Excellence, and Stewardship. These guiding principles were developed to provide employees with a standard of values for the organization in order to represent what is important to the City. Each year, the Employee Incentive Team (EIT) seeks nominations from peers to recognize a select number of individuals and teams. In addition, the CARES Extra Mile Award is presented by the City Manager’s Office to an individual or team that has gone above and beyond! Again, this year we will acknowledge outstanding teamwork and team contributions with the CARES Shining Team Achievement Recognition (S.T.A.R) Award. This award recognizes teams that consistently work collaboratively to accomplish goals, going above-and-beyond, while recognizing and reinforcing the need for all employees to work in support of one another for the overall success of our City.

All City employees were eligible to be nominated for an EIA CARES Award. All nominations were submitted by each Department Head to the EIT and reviewed for consideration by EIT, excluding any members that were nominated. Each individual EIA CARES winner will receive a gift card and their name will be engraved on a perpetual plaque displayed in the Human Resources Department lobby.

SUBJECT: Resolution to authorize the sale of a surplus vehicle (equipment) to Critters Without Litters, a non-profit organization, for one dollar ($1.00).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

BACKGROUND:

The City has received a request from Critters Without Litters, a non-profit organization in Bakersfield, CA, to receive surplus equipment. Critters Without Litters provides high -volume, high-quality, subsidized companion animal sterilization. Their goal is to prevent euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets in Kern County through strong alliances with community, local business and non-profit organizations to increase the number of cats and dogs that are spayed and neutered, while promoting animal health and s afety within the community.

Staff recommend the sale of surplus equipment of one (1) surplus Chevrolet Astro van to Critters Without Litters, for one dollar ($1.00) to assist their Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program for feral and free-roaming cats in the greater Bakersfield, Kern County region. Please refer to the attached backup documents for surplus detail.

The Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 3.20.120F provides for this action and states that any sale to a governmental entity or non-profit organization shall be subject to confirmation and approval by the City Council.

The equipment is being sold "as is with all faults" to remove the City from any potential liability claims.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Impact to the City General Fund, with the donation of the surplus items.

COUNCIL GOAL:

CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders.

Hello,

Critters Without Litters' EIN is 27-1606167. Attached is our IRS determination letter.

The van will be utilized to augment our TNR (trap-neuter-return) program for feral and free-roaming cats in the greater Bakersfield/unincorporated Kern County region. The van will allow us to deliver large numbers of traps to targeted colonies for trapping, and transport larger numbers of community cats back to our clinic for TNR services, then return them for release. This approach will allow us to more easily target larger colonies, or colonies where the caretaker is unable to transport the cats, due to transportation issues or physical issues that limit their ability to lift trapped cats into a vehicle.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. There has been no objection as of the date of this report. A public utility easement will be reserved over the vacated area. Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 -foot radius of the proposed vacated area. Public Works has not received any objections from these owners as of the date of this report.

The proposed vacation was approved by the Planning Department on October 6th, 2025, per local ordinance and was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan pursuant to Government Code 65402.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: October 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolutions of Intention (ROI) to add the following territories to the Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily approving, confirming, and adopting the Public Works Director’s Report for each:

1. ROI No. 2247 adding Area 5-141 (ATN 173-191-25-00-7): Street Tier = 1; Park Tier = 0 – (Ward 1)

2. ROI No. 2248 adding Area 2-93 (5601 District Boulevard): Street Tier = 1; Park Tier = 0 – (Ward 6)

3. ROI No. 2249 adding Area 4-312 (117 Brundage Lane): Street Tier = 2; Park Tier = 0 – (Ward 2)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adopting the resolutions of intention.

BACKGROUND:

Written requests have been received by the City Engineer from the owners of the parcels to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by section 13.04.021 of the Municipal Code.

Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of parks and/or street landscaping. For an area where a park has been co nstructed and/or street landscaping has already been installed, the area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned appropriate tier levels during the next annual update to the consolidated maintenance district. For an are a where a park and/or street landscaping has not been installed, the area will be assigned appropriate tier levels when improvements are constructed.

The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owners of the properties listed above which waived the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy subdivision requirements. The owners have also submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating their consent to the assessments.

In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be recorded with the Kern County Assessor‐Recorder's Office upon approval of these Resolutions.

Staff recommends the new territories be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The revenue from Maintenance Assessment Districts partially supports ongoing maintenance in the districts for the year. There is some General Fund support on an annual basis for the short fall in the CMD revenue collected citywide.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT

ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 5-141

Fiscal Year 2025-2026

Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as ATN 173-191-25-00-7 and as shown on Map and Assessment Diagram marked Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth, as an area within the City of Bakersfield.

Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the Public Works Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.

For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.

Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.

All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price

EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.

All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.

A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, I, ZACHARY MEYER, Director of Public Works of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation in said area.

The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.

For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.

Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.

All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price

EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.

All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.

A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, I, ZACHARY MEYER, Director of Public Works of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation in said area.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager
DATE: October 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Letter Agreement with County of Kern
(Extending term of the Master Tax Sharing Agreement No. 15-277 to May 4, 2027) for transfer of tax revenues upon annexation.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the letter agreement and extension.

BACKGROUND:

California Revenue and Taxation Code require cities and counties to agree on how specific revenues from taxes will be split or shared upon annexation of land into the City’s jurisdiction. State law further allows a county and a city to develop and adopt a master tax sharing agreement to comply with the requirement.

A master tax agreement provides the city, county and property owners with certain assurances that the annexation process will move forward expeditiously, while providing for a fair and equitable tax sharing arrangement that allows both jurisdictions to provide services to the property upon annexation. Absent a master tax agreement, the city and county would be required to individually negotiate a tax sharing agreement for each proposed annexation. When comparing these options, a master tax sharing agreement is generally viewed as being the most efficient means by which to comply with state law.

The City and the County of Kern have utilized a master tax sharing agreement to determine revenue sharing for most annexations that have occurred since 1995. In 2012, a disagreement arose between the City and County regarding allocations of certain revenues outlined within the tax sharing agreement in place at that time. An out -of-court settlement resulted in a master tax sharing agreement which was initially approved in 2015, and extended by mutual agreement for an additional five -year term in 2020 (Agreement No. 15 -277(1)/Kern County Agreement No. 830 -2015). The current master tax sharing agreement is set to expire on November 4, 2025.

Staff from the City Manager’s Office and County Administrative Office recently determined that it is in the best interest of all parties, including future property owners wishing to annex into the City, to extend the current master tax agreement for a period of eighteen (18) months. As proposed, no changes to the existing fiscal arrangement would occur and the proposed extension simply extends the agreement to May 4, 2027.

Upon conclusion of the extension term, a new master tax sharing agreement or other arrangement will be required to facilitate tax sharing for future annexations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The master tax sharing agreement will continue to provide the city with approximately $10.70 per $100 of property tax revenue al located to local taxing entities under Proposition 13 for areas annexed under this agreement. The agreement also allocates ten (10) percent of its sales and use tax revenue. This sharing of sales and use tax applies only to the Bradley Burns sales tax rev enue and does not apply to the Bakersfield Public Safety and Vital Services Measure (Measure N) funds.

Innovative and Efficient City Government

MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: October 10, 2025
SUBJECT: Reimbursement Agreement with North Kern Water Storage Agreement for Weather Resources Management Program

[Document Description]

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Water Resources issued a permit for the Weather Resources Management Program of the Kern River watershed on July 2, 1980 to North Kern WSD. The City has participated in the Weather Resources Management Program since the 1980s along with the other Kern River Interests (Kern Delta WD, North Kern WSD, and Buena Vista WSD).

RHS Consulting, the company North Kern WSD contracts to perform the Program, estimates a precipitation/runoff increase of 13% +/ - 2.3% at the 90% c onfidence level since the inception of the program, which provides a benefit to the City’s water supply portfolio.

This agreement is for reimbursement of the costs associated with the program and an even split amongst the four (4) parties mentioned above. The agreement is for a three (3) year term of a reimbursable amount not to exceed $372,808. Staff recommend approval of the agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds are available in FY 25/26 Water Resources Fund Budget with no impact to the General Fund.

FROM: Gregory Pronovost, Technology Services Director
DATE: October 9, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2024-254 with Magnet Forensics, LLC (revised not to exceed $111,500, and extend term 1 year) for GrayKey Software, a data extraction forensic tool

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of this agreement

BACKGROUND:

During active criminal investigations, particularly those involving violent felonies, critical forensic evidence is often found in data stored on mobile devices. The Bakersfield Police Department’s Computer Forensic Unit relies on several specialized tools to extract and analyze this data in support of ongoing cases. One of these essential tools is the GrayKey device, developed by Magnet Forensics LLC, which enables investigators to unlock and access data on iOS (Apple iPhones and iPads) and Android OS devices.

In October 2024, the City entered into Agreement No. 2024 -254 for one year. The Bakersfield Police Department, Technology Services, and Magnet Forensics, LLC now wishes to extend Agreement No. 2024- 254 for one additional year for a not to exceed amount of $111,500.

This agreement allows the Police Department to continue using these vital forensic tools to gather evidence and solve cases. It renews the City’s annual license to use GrayKey from November 2025 through November 2026. The cost increase associated with this renewal reflects technological advancements implemented by the vendor, not any expansion of services requested by the City. Additionally, the agreement requires the City to indemnify Magnet Forensics LLC in the event of unauthorized use of the software.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this subscription are budgeted through the equipment fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director
DATE: October 9, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 2023-253 with J.L. Plank, Inc., DBA Cen-Cal Construction (extend term one year) to continue the service of canal liner repair.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND:

On October 25, 2023, the City Council approved the annual contract for canal liner repair with J.L. Plank, Inc., DBA Cen -Cal Construction, in the amount of $480,100; renewable annually thereafter for four consecutive one-year periods.

Per the terms of the contract, two amend ments increasing the contract and/or extending the contract has been approved as follows:

• Amendment 1 approved Junes 26, 2024; increase of $250,000 only. • Amendment 2 approved October 23, 2024; increased compensation by $730,100 for a revised not to exceed amount of $1,460,200 and extended the term by one year to October 25, 2025.

The City operates and maintains various irrigation canals within its jurisdiction. Some of these canals are lined with cement panels, which both improve water flow and minimize loss of water due to seepage.

These panels need to be repaired and/or replaced from time to time. Having a contract in place for canal liner repairs is an efficient tool to manage maintenance issues as they arise.

If approved, Amendment No. 3 will extend the term of the contract for one year. The extension will allow the City to continue to meet the demand for canal liner replacement or repairs as needed to the term date of October 25, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds are budgeted in the Water Resources Department operating budget for this contract. The funding source is the Domestic Water Fund, therefore, there is no General Fund impact.

On March 20, 2013, the City of Bakersfield and AEG Management Bakersfield, LLC, entered into a Facilities Management Agreement for the management and operations of the Dignity Health Arena, Theater, & Convention Center; Valley Children’s Ice Sports Center; and Dignity Health Amphitheatre. Agreement No. 13-038 granted AEG Management Bakersfield authority and responsibility to manage, operate, and market the Facilities in accordance with the terms of Agreement No. 13-038 based on their qualifications to staff, manage, operate, and maintain the Facilities in order to achieve the stated goals and objects outlined in the original Request for Proposals.

On July 13, 2020, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 13-038 was amended to temporarily stay the City’s reimbursement to the Manager until January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On January 25, 2023, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement N0. 13 -038 was amended to exercise the extension of the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2028, pursuant to Section 6.1.2 of Agreement No. 13-038.

This proposed Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 13 -038 would change the financial incentives and responsibilities of the Agreement. Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 13-038 proposes to eliminate the $500,000+ base fee paid by the City to the Manage r, eliminates the $500,000 operating loss currently covered by the City, and pays the Manager of the Facilities an annual payment equal to 50% of the Net Operating Income. In this new model the Manager will assume 100% of the Aggregate Net Operating Loss, where-in the current Agreement the City assumes the loss.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City will no longer pay the Manager a yearly management fee of $500,000 and will no longer be responsible for the Aggregate Net Operating Loss , currently up to $500,000 . Moving forward the City would split the Net Operating Income, 50/50, with the Manager. Without having the burden of the management fee and the aggregate operating loss, the City would be potentially saving approximately $1,000,000 per year.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Community Character & Quality of Life
Innovative and Efficient City Government

Subject: Scope of Work for Zoning Code Consistency Update Dear Mr. Burns:

The City of Bakersfield is undertaking a comprehensive Zoning Code update to ensure consistency with the General Plan Update and to better respond to evolving community needs. As the City’s current consultant for the General Plan Update, Rincon is well -positioned to ensure that the Zoning Code is aligned with the updated General Plan policies. Our team brings a deep understanding of Bakersfield’s planning context, through our current work on the City’s General Plan Update, Housing Element and previously completed residential zoning updates and extensive conversations with local r esidents, developers, and Council members regarding land use and zoning matters. This is further strengthened by our team’s prior experience working as City staff, which gives us practical insight into how the Zoning Code functions day-to-day. We understand the importance of clarity, usability and process efficiency and will bring that perspective to every stage of the update. Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) understands that the Zoning Code Update must address the following:
• Alignment with the General Plan Update. The zoning regulations must be updated for consistency with the General Plan land use policies and community priorities. We will update the Zoning Code to reflect General Plan policies , such as clarifying standards for the MX -1 and MX -2 zones, facilitating a Research, Development, and Innovation district in the CSUB area, and aligning with the visioning for Downtown and Old Town Kern.
• Outdated Zoning Code Ordinances. Ensure outdated and unclear standards and procedures are updated. Staff, residents, developers, and business owners have expressed difficulty in understanding and implementing development standards and procedures. We will identify sections that may be unclear, outdated, or difficult to administer. This includes evaluating the Use Schedule, Sign Code, and Landscape Code for potential improvements. • Compliance with Recent Legislation . The Zoning Code must be updated to reflect changes in state and local laws enacted since the last comprehensive update. These legislative changes may affect land use regulations, housing requirements, environmental standards, and procedural mandates, necessitating revisions to ensure legal compliance and effective implementation. • Alignment with Concurrent Planning Efforts. The City is advancing several planning initiatives, including the Old Town Kern Vision Plan and the Southeast Vision Plan. These efforts may introduce new land use concepts or development standards that will need to be integrated into the Zoning Code. We will coordinate with all teams to ensure consistency and avoid duplication of efforts, particularly with consultants working on related planning projects.

We also understand the importance of public engagement in this process. Rincon will work with City staff to design an outreach strategy that informs stakeholders and provides opportunities for meaningful input from the community, Planning Commission, and City Council. This will be designed Exhibit D

2 to build on the success of our engagement efforts for the General Plan Update, and we will work closely with staff to design an engagement strategy that best meets the needs of the project.

To support the City’s decision -making and ensure clarity around project costs, Rincon is pleased to provide the attached budget and scope materials. The attached budget outlines anticipated costs and includes key assumptions to support transparency and alignment with City expectations. In addition to presenting a detailed cost breakdown, Rincon is providing options for the City to consider regarding the approach to CEQA compliance. These options are intended to support informed decision -making and ensure the selected path aligns with the City’s goals and priorities. Rincon is committed to working closely with City staff to refine the scope and approach as needed throughout the project and the final contract amendment will reflect the City’s chosen CEQA strategy.

We appreciate the opportunity to continue supporting the City of Bakersfield and look forward to discussing next steps.

Scope of Work
Task 1 Project Management and Coordination
Task 1.1 Project Kickoff
Following the notice to proceed, key members of the project team will attend one in-person kickoff meeting with City staff.

3 Task 1.2 Project Meetings and Coordination
To effectively manage the multiple deliverables of the project, the Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager will host regular, bi-weekly conference calls up to 30 minutes in length to update the City on upcoming deliverables and discuss any potential issues that may impact the scope of work.

Other team members may be added to the meeting, as necessary. Rincon will draft agendas at least one working day in advance of these calls and deliver via SharePoint to the City. The agendas will identify action i tems and the responsible party to implement said action item. Additional project coordination time to support administrative activities, internal coordination and consultations to answer questions and support ongoing communication is also included in this task as well as time for Rincon to be available for additional, as-needed check-ins, discussions for the duration of the project up to the budgeted amount.

Assumptions
• Virtual meeting attended by staff members from Rincon and staff members from City of Bakersfield.
• This task scope and budget assumes up to two virtual check-in meetings per month, approximately 30 minutes each.

Deliverables
• Bi-weekly Meeting Agenda
• Bi-weekly Meeting Minutes
• Monthly Invoices
Task 2 Community Outreach and Engagement
Task 2.1 Community Outreach and Engagement Strategy
Rincon will collaborate with City staff to raise awareness of and gather input on the Zoning Code Update through strategic community outreach and engagement efforts, as further detailed in Task 2.2.

The Community Outreach and Engagement Strategy will guide the project’s engagement efforts using our Engagement Ecosystem methodology. The plan will include the following components:
• Community Profile. We have collaborated with the City on the General Plan for the past five years, giving us a strong foundation in understanding the community’s values and priorities. We also recognize that the Zoning Code Update has a different target audience than the General Pla n Update, with distinct needs and expectations. While community needs continue to evolve, this effort will build upon our existing knowledge and help identify any significant shifts or emerging preferences. We will a udit our unde rstanding of the community’s needs and preferences for engagement using available data sources such as the U.S. Census, previous outreach efforts, and a comprehensive interested parties mapping process to identify groups and individuals with varying interest levels along with the best way to engage with them. • Measuring Reach. Define metrics to evaluate the success of engagement efforts and ensure accountability throughout the process. This component helps us keep track of how many people we engage with, the depth of feedback received, and how the individuals and organizations that participate in outreach and engagement represent the larger population of Bakersfield. Preparing for this information early allows us to answer decision -maker and community inquiries on the broader reach of the outreach and engagement, and pivot strategies when necessary.

Scope of Work for Zoning Code Consistency Update
4 • Mutual Learning and Awareness, Participatory Methods . Set learning objectives for each engagement activity, outline key tasks, and incorporate participatory approaches. The plan will also identify potential barriers to participation—such as technical language or complex concepts— and propose strategies to address them through intentional activity design. • Participatory Methods . Provide a timeline for engagement tasks and events that aligns with community availability, accessibility needs, and the major milestones of the Zoning Code Update so that feedback is incorporated in a timely manner.
• Reciprocal Community Partnerships. Clarify the roles and responsibilities of City staff, the Rincon team, and any additional partners. The strategy will also identify promotional tactics that resonate with the community, leverage existing networks, and ensure broad outreach.

Rincon will utilize our in-house graphics team and collaborate closely with the City to develop a clear and transparent Community Outreach and Engagement Strategy for the Zoning Code Update. Rincon will provide the draft Outreach and Engagement Strategy to the City in a Microsoft (MS) Word document. We anticipate up to two rounds of consolidated review will be needed to adequately address City staff comments before finalizing the document.

Assumptions
The city will provide consolidated feedback within two rounds of review for the draft strategy in track change comments in MS Word
Deliverables
• The Community Outreach and Engagement Strategy Draft provided as a MS Word Document • The Community Outreach and Engagement Strategy Final provided as a MS Word Document and PDF
Task 2.2 Outreach and Engagement
The Rincon team recognizes that updating the Zoning Code is a highly technical and nuanced process, with deep implications for a range of stakeholders. Rather than focusing solely on broad outreach, as done with the General Plan Update, our outreach and engagement for the Zoning Code Update will strike a balance between in-depth, informed conversations with key users of the ordinance and simple, accessible touchpoints for broader community education and feedback.

We will prioritize focused engagement with City of Bakersfield staff, developers, land use professionals, and community-based organizations and environmental justice groups, each of whom bring valuable perspectives, expertise, and lived experience as users of the Zoning Code. At the same time, we will provide easy, low-barrier opportunities such as visual explainers and online tools to help demystify zoning and invite input from the broader community. The following e ngagement strategies will be designed to gather early community input on the Zoning Code Update, while generating feedback loops for more invested individuals.

Zoning 101 Virtual Workshop
The Zoning 101 Virtual Workshop will provide business owners and property owners with a high-level overview of zoning concepts and how zoning regulations influence land use and development within their community . This workshop is intended to build awareness around the project, provide foundational knowledge among participants, and increase transparency around the Zoning Code Update process.

Docusign Envelope ID: A5D8FACF-87E1-4529-8CB8-10B4B49DAD1A City of Bakersfield
Proposal for Bakersfield Zoning Code Update Adoption
5 To reinforce learning and encourage hands -on interaction with the Zoning Code, the workshop will include a Zoning Code Scavenger Hunt , which will include a guided activity where participants use sample sections of the Zoning Code to answer a series of prompts (e.g., identifying definitions, finding allowable land uses, or interpreting height limits). This activity will help demystify the code’s structure and language while collecting participant feedback on clarity, usability, and relevance. The scavenger hunt will be available in both digital and printable formats and shared after the workshop to encourage continued exploration.

The workshop will be recorded and available online. Rincon will prepare promotional materials in preparation of the workshop such as flyers and social media graphics in English, Spanish and Punjabi, and will coordinate with the City to distribute the materials through appropriate community channels.

We assume Propio will prepare translation of materials and assist with live translation through the existing contract with the City.

Key Interested Parties Focus Groups
Given the technical nature of zoning and its direct impact on multiple user groups, Rincon will facilitate a series of focus groups to gather in-depth feedback from key interested parties who regularly interact with the Zoning Code. These one - to two-hour virtual sessions will be topic -specific and designed to generate candid dialogue about current challenges, opportunities, and community priorities.

Rincon will collaborate with the City of Bakersfield to identify and convene participants for up to 9 focus groups throughout the update process. These sessions will not only inform technical content but also help foster strong working relationships that benefit project success. Rincon anticipates that up to two staff members will attend each focus group. Planned focus groups include:
• Developers. Three virtual sessions (kick off, mid-point, and near final draft), focused on real-world application, barriers, and opportunities within the development process. • Community-Based Organizations (e.g., Downtown Business Association, etc.). Three virtual sessions, designed to explore zoning implications for environmental justice and neighborhood priorities.
• City Staff (e.g., Planning, Building, Public Works, Counter Staff). Three virtual sessions to gather input from internal users of the code, focusing on administrative implementation, consistency, and process improvements.

Study Sessions
Rincon will provide materials and present in three in -person study sessions with the Planning Commission, and provide materials and present in three in-person study sessions with City Council.

Rincon will also provide materials for city staff to present at one Planning and Development Committee meeting. These sessions will be used to present engagement findings and gather feedback to inform the development of the Zoning Code Update. Rincon assumes in-person attendance for the Planning Commission and City Council Study Sessions and will provide draft and final PowerPoint presentations for each session.

Community Awareness and Feedback Tools
Rather than relying solely on traditional workshops, which have historically shown limited effectiveness in Bakersfield, and recognizing the technical complexity of zoning, Rincon will implement an alternative approach to community -facing outreach on this project effort that will prioritize accessibility and visibility over large in-person events. Our strategy will focus on low-barrier, self-paced tools that inform Docusign Envelope ID: A5D8FACF-87E1-4529-8CB8-10B4B49DAD1A City of Bakersfield
Scope of Work for Zoning Code Consistency Update
6 the community about the Zoning Code Update process while offering opportunities for simple, optional feedback. To accomplish this, we propose:
• Zoning Community Guide . Building off the virtual workshop, Rincon will create a brief, plain - language Zoning Code guide to help residents and businesses understand the Zoning Code update. The guide will also include a mini scavenger hunt activity via a QR code that encourages readers to explore the Zoning Code and share feedback on its clarity and usefulness. Materials will be developed in multiple formats including a tri -fold or 2 -sided printable handout, mobile friendly PDF or web content, or a social media explainer series with 3-4 social media posts. • Zoning Displays . Because attendance at large gatherings has been low in 2025, Rincon can create a small, stand-alone engagement board or display kit that can be left at trusted community locations such as libraries, community centers, food pantries, school lobbies, and fa ith-based institutions. Each kit will include one poster with the Zoning Community Guide QR code, and optional comment cards with a drop box. Rincon will coordinate printing of each kit, and City staff will pick up and distribute to preferred locations.

Engagement Results Summary
Rincon will prepare an Engagement Results Summary to accompany the final project documents and to be shared with stakeholders and decision-makers. This summary will include metrics and insights from both targeted and broad engagement activities, such as the number of focus groups, participation in the Zoning 101 workshop, reach of the visual explainer materials, and key feedback received through engagement touchpoints . The summary will be delivered as either a memorandum or PowerPoint slide deck, based on t he City’s preference. Rincon will respond to one round of consolidated comments on the draft summary.

Assumptions
• City will provide list of developers and community groups that will actively collaborate in focus groups.
• Any live interpretation will be provided by the City through their Propio contract. • Rincon will respond to one set of consolidated comments on the Community Awareness and Feedback Tools materials.
• Rincon will respond to one set of consolidated comments on the Engagement Results Summary. • Rincon will respond to one set of consolidated comments on meeting materials. • Up to two Rincon staff will attend nine virtual focus group meetings. • Rincon will provide PPT presentation for city staff to present at the Planning and Development Committee study session. Rincon will not attend this study session. • Up to two Rincon staff will attend six study sessions in-person.

Task 3.1 Literature Review Summary Audit
The Literature Review Summary Audit is a high-level analysis that identifies needed zoning changes, explains the rationale, and sets the strategic direction for the update. This document will also be the foundation for Task 3.2 by outlining the list of changes to the Zoning Code . The Literature Review Summary Audit will summarize key findings and provide clear, actionable recommendations for incorporation into the Zoning Code Update, addressing areas where revisions are needed, where informal policies may be codified, and where development standar ds should be aligned with the General Plan and State law. This will be done in a matrix format and will focus on evaluating and updating the City’s commercial, industrial, and other non -residential zoning districts. The Literature Review and Summary Audit will include a review of the following:
• General Plan -Zoning Code Consistency Review . The project team will begin by conducting a comprehensive review of the Zoning Code to identify areas of needed consistency with the recently updated goals, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan . This includes identifying any conflicts or inconsistencies related to land use designations, intensities, and densities, and recommending appropriate zone changes, consolidation of existing zones, application of base zones, or the creation of new zones. • Legislative and Policy Alignment. In parallel, the team will review recent State legislation that affects zoning and propose necessary updates to maintain compliance including but not limited to AB 2904- Notices, AB 2632- Land Uses, AB 2085- Land Uses, AB 2097- Parking Requirements. • Vision Plan Coordination. Coordination will also take place with the Economic Development Department and Kimley Horn to align zoning recommendations with the Old Town Kern Vision Plan, which is currently underway. Additionally, the team will participate in a joint working session with City staff to review land use concepts in the Southeast Vision Plan Area and docum ent any consistency findings and potential zoning implications. • Zoning Use Schedule and Procedure Review. The current Zoning Use Schedule will be assessed to identify outdated or missing uses and recommendations will be made for updates and consolidation. Planning review procedures, including the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process, will be evaluated and revised to reflect the dissolution of the Board of Zoning Adjustment.

Scope of Work for Zoning Code Consistency Update
8 initial focus groups and study sessions will also inform any improvements needed for procedural reviews to help streamline development and ease the review process for both developers and city staff. Where appropriate, the team will also recommend new overlays or rezoning strategies, such as for the Downtown, CSUB area, and MLK Boulevard.
• Sign and Landscape Ordinance Review. As part of this task, the City’s sign and landscape ordinances will be reviewed, and best practice recommendations will be provided, including updates to standards for items such as metal storage containers.

Throughout the process, meetings with City staff will be held to discuss additional updates and gather input. Upon completion of all reviews and research activities, the team will prepare a Literature Review Summary Audit.

Assumptions
• The memo will be prepared following initial discussion with City Staff to gather input on Zoning Ordinance updates.

Deliverables
• Literature Review and Summary Audit Memo
Task 3.2 Zoning Code Update Tracker
The Zoning Code Update Tracker is a detailed, running log of every specific zoning amendment, its location, and its justification. Based on input from meetings with staff and building off the Literature Review Summary Audit, Rincon will prepare the Zoning Code Tracker to outline the changes to be made as a part of the Zoning Code Update. This tracker will serve as the master checklist of Zoning Code changes for the remainder of the project. The tracker will be a table that lists the existing section, proposed amendment, and reason for the am endment. The tracker will identify the sections of the code that will be amended as well as identify how and why it will be amended. This will be created as a shared document to allow the City and Rincon to track where existing code sections have been moved and revised. If desired, this tool can also be shared with focus groups and committees to help facilitate their understanding of the amendments by providing a comprehensive list that summarizes the proposed amendments.

Assumptions
• City Staff will review and provide comments on the tracker within three weeks of receiving tracker.

Deliverables
• Zoning Code Update Tracker Draft
• Zoning Code Update Tracker Final
Task 3.3 Zoning Code Update
The Zoning Code Update will be conducted in the following stages:

Docusign Envelope ID: A5D8FACF-87E1-4529-8CB8-10B4B49DAD1A City of Bakersfield
Proposal for Bakersfield Zoning Code Update Adoption
9 Style Sheet
Following City staff’s review and comments of the Zoning Code Matrix, Rincon will prepare a draft style sheet with a list of common terms to use and not to use, and sample chapter format to illustrate the recommended format and style of the Zoning Code.

Administrative Draft
After the framework has been discussed and established, Rincon will prepare the Administrative Draft of the Zoning Code for City review. In addition to meeting the applicable legal and technical requirements, the Administrative Draft will include text, images, and graphics to clearly illustrate any provisions needing additional clarification so the Code can be easily understood by elected officials, land developers, residents, and business owners. It is anticipated that additional exhibits will be necessary to assist with some descriptions. It is our experience that flexible, but adequately defined development standards can allow for market -driven innovations in urban design and spur creativity from architects and designers.

Rincon will prepare five separate Administrative Drafts – each corresponding to a specific section of the Zoning Code Update – to facilitate a more manageable and focused review process for City staff.

It will include the following:
• Use regulations
• Development standards
• Administration and procedures
• Enforcement
• Definitions
We will then revise the Administrative Drafts based on comments received from the City. Revisions will be depicted in strike-through format on a MS Word document. It is anticipated that City staff will require three weeks for review and comment on each draft. City staff will provide consolidated comments in track-change comments on MS Word,
Screen Check Draft
Once Rincon receives comments on the Administrative Drafts, we will prepare and submit the Screen Check Draft of the Zoning Code for City review. Rincon will revise the Screen Check Draft based on comments received from the City. Revisions will be depicted in strike -through and in both MS Word and PDF format. It is anticipated that City staff will require three weeks for review and comment on this draft.

Public Review Draft
Once Rincon receives comments on the Screen Check Draft, we will prepare and submit the Public Review Draft of the Zoning Code for public review as part of the outreach and engagement activities.

Rincon will revise the Public Review Draft based on comments received from the City. Revisions will be depicted in strike-through and in both MS Word and PDF format. It is anticipated that City staff will require three weeks for review and comment on this draft.

Public Hearing Draft
After the outreach and engagement activities have concluded, Rincon will work with the City to identify, prepare and submit the Public Hearing Draft of the Zoning Code. This draft will be provided to the Docusign Envelope ID: A5D8FACF-87E1-4529-8CB8-10B4B49DAD1A City of Bakersfield

10 Planning Commission and hold a public hearing that will make a recommendation to the City Council.

This scope of work allows for minor revisions to the Zoning Code Update in between the Planning Commission and City Council hearings. This scope assumes that all copies of the Zoning Code Update provided to the Planning Commission and City Council will be electronic in both MS Word and PDF format.

Final Draft
After the second reading where the City Council approves the Zoning Code update, Rincon will prepare the Final Zoning Code. Edits will be made as required by final City staff review and formal City Council action and revisions. Rincon will provide a complete digital file with bookmarks and embedded hyperlinks in the PDF document. Rincon will also provide the working MS Word f ile of the document as well. This scope does not include any hard copies.

Assumptions
• For all draft deliverables of the Zoning Code Update, Rincon will respond to one set of consolidated, track change comments in MS Word.
• Revisions will be depicted in strike-through and in both MS Word and PDF format. • City will review and provide comments on drafts within three weeks of receiving draft from Rincon. • The City Clerk’s office will upload the updated Zoning Code to the online Municipal Code server. • Rincon will provide electronic copies delivered via SharePoint for all drafts Deliverables

11 • Complete Final Zoning Code in (MS Word and PDF format) Task 3.4 Zoning Map Update
The Zoning Map will be updated to align with the General Plan update in addition to any clean -up of zone changes that have occurred since the last map update. Rincon will work with City staff to identify areas that will require map changes and prepare an Administrative Draft City Zoning Map. Rincon will create a GIS portal that will allow the city to review the map updates and provide comments directly through the portal. Following City staff review of the Administrative Draft , we will prepare a Public Review Draft of the Zoning Map. Following public review, Rincon will make any necessary changes in GIS to prepare the final map for Council adoption.

Assumptions
• This task assumes one round of revision to the Zoning Map Update Deliverables
• Zoning Map (PDF)
• GIS spatial and attribute data of the zone classifications compatible with ESRI ArcGIS Task 4 CEQA
The environmental review for the Zoning Code Update may either be done under the General Plan Update EIR or separately through a tiering approach. Each approach differs in project timing, cost, and implementation. Option 1 assumes a combined analysis which offers a unified and streamlined review process, but requires a longer timeline for adoption of the updated General Plan , while Option 2 proposes a tiered CEQA approach that allows for faster adoption of the General Plan and greater flexibility for the Zoning Code update. Below are summaries of each option, with the same assumptions applied to both.

Option 1 Combined Analysis with General Plan Update EIR Rincon will incorporate the Zoning Code update into the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR), analyzing both efforts as a single, comprehensive project under CEQA. This approach will require extending the EIR timeline to allow for the comp letion of the Zoning Code update by approximately two years, ensuring that the environmental analysis reflects the full scope of proposed land use and regulatory changes. Rincon will evaluate the Zoning Code update alongside the General Plan Update’s policy and land use modifications, providing a unified environmental document for City Council consideration. By consolidating both efforts into a single CEQA document, this approach simplifies the environmental review process and facilitates streamlined decision -making. However, because the EIR must address a broader range of potential impacts at a programmatic l evel, this option does not result in significant overall cost savings and will require a longer timeline to accommodate the additional analysis and coordination needed prior to adoption.

Rincon will work with the City to incorporate the Zoning Code update project details into the General Plan Update EIR and analyze them consistent with the tasks outlined in Phase 7: Programmatic Environmental Impact Report of the General Plan Agreement. Th is will include coordination with City staff to refine the project description, identify potential environmental impacts, and ensure that the Zoning Code update is fully integrated into the broader EIR analysis. Rincon will prepare all necessary sections o f the EIR to reflect the combined scope and will support the City through document preparation, review cycles, and finalization.

Scope of Work for Zoning Code Consistency Update
12 Option 2 Separate Future Analysis with Tiering Approach Rincon will analyze the Zoning Code update independently of the General Plan Update , allowing for the General Plan to proceed with adoption on its existing project timeline. The Zoning Code update would be analyzed in a subsequent CEQA document, which may tier from the certified General Plan Update EIR using a streamlined approach such as an Addendum or Consistency Checklist, as permitted under CEQA Guidelines Section 15152. This phased strategy allows the City to move forward with the General Plan while preserving flexibility to implement the Zoning Code update at a later date.

By leveraging the existing EIR, this approach can reduce duplication of environmental analysis and regulatory review. Additionally, this approach would allow the Zoning Code update to benefit from the foundational analysis already completed for the General Plan. While the overall cost of this approach would be slightly higher than Option 1 due to the need for a separate CEQA document for the Zoning Code update, it offers the advantage of completing the General Plan Update EIR sooner, which may result in cost savings on that front and allow the City to begin implementation of General Plan policies without delay.

This option scope assumes that the Zoning Code update would tier from the General Plan Update EIR using an Addendum or Consistency Checklist. However, if the scope or potential impacts of the Zoning Code update indicate that a more detailed review is necessary, then Rincon will work with the City to prepare a separate environmental document, such as an Initial Study. This scope includes a kickoff meeting with the City, preparation of and submittal of the Notice of Determination (NOD) to the State Clearinghouse, development of a detailed project description, and preparation of an administrative draft document for City review, followed by a screen check draft and final document in both MS Word and PDF formats.

Assumptions
• Attendance of two Rincon staff members at a virtual kickoff meeting with City staff • Rincon will prepare and submit the NOD with the State Clearinghouse, the City will file the NOD with the County Clerk and conduct any other noticing requirements • Up to two rounds of City review of the Project Description • Up to three cumulative rounds of City review for the Administrative Draft and Screen check Draft document
• No hard copies will be provided
• No attendance by Rincon staff should be required at public meetings. If attendance should be required, it can be added for an additional fee.

Deliverables
• Notice of Determination
• Draft Project Description (MS Word version)
• Final Project Description (MS Word version)
• Administrative Draft Addendum or Consistency Checklist (MS Word version) • Screen check Draft Addendum or Consistency Checklist (MS Word version) • Final Addendum or Consistency Checklist (MS Word and PDF) Docusign Envelope ID: A5D8FACF-87E1-4529-8CB8-10B4B49DAD1A City of Bakersfield

Deliverables
• PowerPoint Presentation for up to two Planning Commission Hearings • PowerPoint Presentation for up to two City Council Hearings Task 6 Optional Task- Follow- up Clean Up
The updated Zoning Code introduces new regulations and procedures that will require time for both City staff and the public to fully understand and integrate into existing workflows. It is anticipated that several months will be needed to identify and resolve unforeseen issues arising from the comprehensive nature of these changes. To support this transition, Rincon will remain available for six months following the Code’s adoption to assist City staff by answering questions, facilitating discussions, and recommending revisions to address provisions that may require adjustment. Funding for this support has been included in the project budget.

Deliverables
• Code Clean-up MS Word Document

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: 10/22/2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: 10/7/2025
SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 20 to Agreement No. 2024-235 (7th Movement) with Granite Construction Company (increasing compensation by $122,841.97; revised not to exceed $27,632,081.35) for the Centennial Corridor EB58 to NB99 Loop Connector Project. (Wards 1 & 2)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of the change order.

BACKGROUND:

The 7th Movement Project proposes to construct a new freeway connector ramp from eastbound State Route (SR) 58 freeway to northbound SR 99. At the SR58/SR99 Interchange, construct a new connector starting west of SR 99, on the south side of 58 with a bridge widening over SR 99, a new bridge spanning over Wible Road, and connecting to northbound S R 99. This project also includes the construction of a bike path from Commerce Drive to California Avenue with a pedestrian bridge over the Carrier Canal, permanent closure of the southbound SR 99 to Stockdale Avenue off -ramp, drainage improvements for the Elcia Drive and Real Road intersection, and installation of permanent barrier at the Ming Avenue to southbound SR 99 on -ramp. This Project was awarded in September of 2024 and has an estimated completion date of August of 2026.

Change Order No. 20 provides compensation to the contractor for the demolition and reconstruction of a portion of the Retaining Wall No. 84 footing to install a construction joint necessary to separate the foundations between Type 1 and Type 7 retaining wall types. Potential Claim No. 1 was developed by the contractor contending that the plans did not portray a construction joint at that location which the City thought otherwise. The disagreement was elevated for an informal Dispute Resolution Board (DRB) review where the DRB recommended that the City compensate the contractor for the added costs associated with the remediation. This change order results in a net increase of $122,841.97.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The sum of all change orders to date on this project reflects a total cost increase of $331,784.55 which results in a 1.22% increase of the original contract amount as illustrated below:

Original Contract Amount = $23,300,296.80
Previous Change Orders = $208,942.58
Current Change Order = $122,841.97
Amended Contract Agreement after CCOs = $27,632,081.35
Net Increase to date = $331,784.55
There is no General Fund impact associated with this change order.

Federal, State, and Local funding for th is change order is available in project 25PWTR01 Centennial Corridor 7th Movement.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Bids TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: October 10, 2025
SUBJECT: Street Improvements: Mt. Ridge Drive, between Weeping Rock Way and Lustrous Lane

1. Accept bid and approve contract to Bowman Asphalt, Inc. ($519,606.00) for said project.

2. Authorize staff to approve, as necessary, up to $30,000 in City-controlled contingency for unforeseen conditions encountered during construction of said project. (Ward 7)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend acceptance of bid, approval of contract, and approval of City-controlled contingency.

BACKGROUND:

The work to be performed consists, in general, of widening the west side of Mt. Ridge Drive between Weeping Rock Way and Lustrous Lane. The street widening includes clearing and grubbing to remove a dirt and debris berm as well as asphalt concrete path; sawcutting and removing existing hot mix asphalt concrete; coldplaning existing hot mix asphalt concrete; installing new 18 -inch diameter reinforced concrete storm drain pipe; roadway excavation; removing existing roadside signs; constructing type “B” curb and gutter; installing sidewalk; constructing type “A” hot mix asphalt pavement over Class II aggregate base; modifying existing traffic striping and pavement markings.

Item No. 1 – The engineer’s estimate for this project is $ 679,000. On October 9, 2025, the City received five (5) bids for this project. Four (4) of those bids are deemed acceptable.

Those bids are as follows:

Burtch Construction in the amount of $430,832.54 (Deemed Non-responsive) 18115 Highway 65
Bakersfield, CA 93308

Bowman Asphalt, Inc. in the amount of $519,606.00
3333 Gibson Street
Bakersfield, CA 93308

Griffith Company in the amount of $557,543.00
1128 Carrier Parkway Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93308

Westrock General Engineering in the amount of $576,999.00 7005 Downing Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93308

Nagle Earthworks in the amount of $610,846.96
831 Espee Street
Bakersfield, CA 93301

Staff recommends acceptance of the bids and approval of the construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Bowman Asphalt, Inc.

Item No. 2 - Bakersfield Municipal Code, Section 3.20.105(E), authorizes Public Works Contract Amendments to be executed via Change Order, provided that Change Orders which exceed $10,000 must be approved by the C ity Council. Staff is requesting pre -approval of up to $30,000 for City -controlled contingency for unforeseen conditions encountered during construction of this project, to be executed via authorized Change Order(s). Any costs which exceed the City Council approved contingency, cumulative or otherwise, would require action and approval from the City Council. This City -controlled contingency will save staff time by not having to prepare multiple Council reports for individual routine change orders throughout the project, should they arise. All remaining contingency funds not used will be returned to the fund balance at the end of the project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project No. T4K309 is fully funded through Gas Tax Funds (GTF) ; therefore, there is no impact to the General Fund associated with the award of the project. There are sufficient funds for the award of the contract, contingencies, and construction engineering staff time.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

In June 2025, the City Council amended Agreement No. 2022-185 to extend the term until June 30, 2028. At the time, no additional appropriation was made to continue funding spay and neuter services under the contract.

At this time, the City has identified $100,000 in carryover savings to fund additional spay and neuter clinics provided/coordinated by the Bakersfield SPCA pursuant to the contract . The City seeks authorization to appropriate and transfer these funds to the Bakersfield SPCA in support of the program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

An appropriation and transfer in the amount of $100,000.00 from the General Fund to the Bakersfield SPCA under Agreement No. 2022-185(3).

COUNCIL GOAL:

MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Miscellaneous TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer M. Byers, Economic and Community Development Director DATE: October 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Appropriate $10,000 from the Accelerate California program to the Economic and Community Development Operating Budget
from the Accelerate Central Valley subaward granted to the city.

RECOMMENDATION:

Appropriate the grant subaward to the Economic and Community Development Department.

BACKGROUND: The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CaIOSBA) launched the Accelerate California Inclusive Innovation Hubs (iHub2) program to accelerate technology and science - based firms in key industry areas with a strong outreach focus on diverse founders, including women and people of color, and underserved geographies and regions. The Economic and Community Development Department joined with a consortium of education and business assistance organizations throughout the Central Valley to compete for a designation. The Accelerate Central Valley consortium was awarded an iHub2 designation and the California State University, Fresno Foundation, is the lead entity.

The city received a subaward of $10,000 to advance the training and establishment of entrepreneurs to develop and maintain Microgrids within the region. In partnership with Arizona State University Laboratory for Energy and Power Solutions, Kern Community College District and the Center for Strategic Policy Innovation, a training course was held this summer designed to help jumpstart the buildout of an energy resiliency and clean energy small business ecosystem in and around the Bakersfield area. The course, entitled Clean Energy Microgrids: A Local Business Model for the Future, was offered to local business entrepreneurs and community organizations. The grant awarded to the city supported this training and will continue supporting the participants as they implement their programs and microgrid activities.

The training advances the City Council goal of "Economic Opportunity for All" as it provides for the creation and support of new entrepreneurs within underserved areas of the city. Likewise, it supports the City's Economic Development Strategic Plan goals of positioning Bakersfield as a destination for innovation, provides a more inclusive economy and leverages City investments through partnerships and external funding.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of this program is fully funded by the grant award to the city, thus the City General Fund will not be impacted or be used to support this activity.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Economic Opportunity for All

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Miscellaneous TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: September 30, 2025
SUBJECT: Appropriate $88,000 from the Water Resources Enterprise Fund to FY 26 Salaries Budget for positions outlined in the 2025 Supplemental Report to the 2023 Drinking Water Rate Study, with funding sourced from the recently approved and adopted Municipal Water Rate.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the appropriation and Council to acknowledge, receive, and file.

BACKGROUND:

On June 11, 2025, the City Council approved and adopted the Municipal Water Rate increase, pursuant to the findings and recommendations outlined in the 2025 Supplemental Report to the 2023 Drinking Water Rate Study (2025 Supplemental Report). The 2025 Supplemental Report identified critical personnel needs within t he Water Department necessary to structurally align the Department, meet regulatory compliance, enhance operational efficiency, and improve service delivery. These personnel requests were also outlined in the 2025 -26 Personnel Memo provided to the City Man ager and the presentation provided to the Budget Committee during the 2025 -26 budget process. However, t he Department was advised that the staffing additions and modifications requested would be contingent upon the approval of the proposed rate increase. Since that action has occurred and at the direction of the City Manager, staff recommend the addition of a new Water Planner position for the Domestic Water unit.

In addition, Staff intends to move forward with the hiring of an Engineer IV in FY 2025–26. This action was coordinated with and approved by the City’s Budget Office in February 2025 and involves repurposing two (2) long -vacant Electrical Technician I positions in favor of a single higher -level role that will provide advanced engineering suppor t for municipal water and wastewater operations, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure planning to address aging infrastructure and Citywide growth.

These staffing adjustments are essential to meet the needs of City -wide growth; obtain and maintain compliance with new and existing regulatory requirements; improve operational efficiencies by addressing aging infrastructure; and support the delivery of critical water and wastewater services to city residents. To support this implementation, the Water Department respectfully requests the appropriation of $88,000 from the Water Enterprise Fund balance to the FY 2025–26 Salaries budget.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the Water Planner position will be provided through the Water Resources Enterprise Fund.

The Civil Engineer IV position will be funded within existing Water Department Budget by reallocating salary savings from two vacant Electrical Technician positions. This action will have no impact on the General Fund and the Water Department’s compliment will remain at 89.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is supplemental to the 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study that was prepared and finalized by Ra�elis Financial Consultants on June 7th, 2023. The 2025 Supplemental Report will outline what has been studied, evaluated, and updated since the above-men�oned report was fina lized, to determine the appropriate 2025 Domes�c Wa ter Rates.

All processes iden�fied and analyzed in the 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study will remain in effect unless updated, revised, or changed in this 2025 Supplemental Report. In summary, the focus of this supplemental report is to:
• Iden�fy the appropriate domes�c water financial model �me frame • Determine revenue requirements for the domes�c water system opera�ons, maintenance, personnel, and capital improvement
• Determine the reserve target needed to ensure revenue is available to cover annual opera�ons, maintenance, and capital improvement expenses • Evaluate and calculate the appropriate 2025 Domes�c Water Rates to ensure that customers are paying their propor�onal share of the revenue requirement with planned implementa�on effec�ve July 1, 2025
T
he 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study iden�fied that the domes�c water rates, which includes the readiness to serve [meter] rate and the usage rate, should be increased by the following amounts:
• FY 2022-23 10%
• FY 2023-24 thru FY 2026-27 6%
At the �me of the 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study, the State had not implemented several new regulatory requirements including Making Water Conserva�on a Way of Life and trea�ng
groundwater for the contaminant Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances [PFOS]. These new regula�ons and
the con�nued requirement to treat for Hydrogen
Sulfide [H2S], Arsenic, and 1,2,3,-Trichloropropane [123-TCP] have led to performing this analysis as the amount of revenue collected is insufficient and does not cover the costs of opera�ng, maintaining, and
improving the City’s domes�c water system, which has
required the need to evaluate and recommend an increase to the 2025 Domes�c Water Rate.

The Service Connec�on Fee, also known as Water Availability Fee, analyzed in the 2023 Water Rate
and Service Connec�on Fee Study, iden�fied that new meter and fire service connec�ons associated with development needed to be assessed on a meter size basis rather than the current per acre availability fee. This connec�on fee is not evaluated as part of this 2025 Supplemental Report, as staff have prepared a stand -alone report that has evaluated and analyzed this fee which is to be increased at a later �me.

1.1 Study
Objec�ves
The study’s major objectives remain the same:

1. Development of financial plan and associated revenue requirement projec�on

2. Five-year projec�on of water rates

3. The con�nued use of non-�ered water quan�ty rates

4. Readiness-To-Serve charges based on meter size or private fire connec�on size

5. Crea�on of a flexible and user-friendly financial model

1.2 Finding
s and Recommenda�ons
In preparing this 2025 Supplemental Report, the following findings were made.

1. Domes�c Water Financial Model Period
A financial model was developed using a five-year period as these are the limits for the allowable dura�on for a rate increase. Staff prepared a 10-year infrastructure plan to iden�fy
future needs, but this rate increase is designed to collect revenue for the first 5 years of that 10-year plan.

2. Revenue Requirements
For this study, the Water Department used the City’ s Opera�on and Maintenance (O&M) budget for FY 2024-25 and applied annual assump�ons for increased costs, the known
debt
service remaining on one bond related to Improvement District No. 4’s Henry
C. Garnet Purifica�on Plant expansion, and the City’s first five (5) years of the 10- year capital
improvements program for the domes�c water system.

The annual revenue requirement, also known as expenses, for the City’s domes�c water system between FY 2025- 26 to FY 2029-30 is determined to be as low as $42.5 million and as high as $61 million.

3. Recommended 2025 Domes�c Water Rates
The pe
rcentage increases in rate revenues developed as an outcome of the financial planning process are shown below. These percentage increases are reflected in the proposed water rates shown in Sec�on 5.3 below.
• FY 2025-26 34.0%
• FY 2026-27 6.0%
• FY 2027-28 6.0%
• FY 2028-29 2.4%
• FY 2029-30 2.4%

2. BACKGROUND
This 2025 Supplemental Report thoroughly evaluated current and future opera�ons, maintenance, and capital improvement expenses needed to en sure the opera�ng efficiencies of the City’s domes�c water system, which pro vides safe, clean, reliable drinking water to residents.

This effort iden�fied the total annual Revenue Requirement, also known as expenses, needed to ensure the health and safety services con�nue to be provided to the City’s exis�ng residents and growing community.

The City then u�lized the analysis, that was prepared and included in the 2023 Wat er Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study, to iden�fy the 2025 Domes�c Water Rate. This rate includes the Rea
diness-to-Serve and Volumetric Unit Rate needed to generate sufficient revenue to cover all expenses. A�er analyzing mul�ple scenarios, it was determined to inc rease the 2025 Domes�c Water Rate, over the next five (5) years, as follows: 34%, 6%, 6%, 2.4%, and 2.4%.

The City developed a five (5) year Financial Plan [2025-2030 ], u�lizing the generated revenues to address the revenue requirement needs . The detailed Domes�c Water Financial Model is atached as Exhibit A.

2.1 System Background
The City of Bakersfield provides drink ing water to approximately 166,000 customers within the City limits and the surrounding unincorporated areas. The City encompasses over 151 square miles and has a popula�on of approximately 412,000, of which the City’s dome s�c water system serves approximately 166,00 0 residents (the remainder of the city is served by other water purveyors). The City’s water system is supplied by 67 domes�c groundwater wells, 2 surface water treatment facili�es (which treat Kern River water & State Water Project water), and over 631 miles of water main pipelines. The City recently added addi�onal treatment processes to certain wells within its system for the removal of TCP (1,2,3-trichloropropane), Arsenic, and PFOS.

2.2 Revenue at
Current Rates
The City’s domes�c water system’s opera�ng and capital e xpenditures are funded by four (4) sources: (1) monthly readiness-to-serve rate depending on the size of the meter and (2) volumetric unit rate
depending on water usage, (3) water availabi lity fee and (4) other non-opera�ng revenue. Current revenues from all four sources in the adopted FY 2024-25 budget is $37.8 million.

2.2.1 Monthly Readiness
-to-Serve Rate
The monthly readiness-to-serve rate for the domes�c system is a fixed fee on customer bills depending on (1) the size of their connec�on that covers the ongoing costs of delivering the water and (2) if the connec�on is within City Limits or within the Fairhaven & Unincorporated Areas.

City of Bakersfield 2025 Supplemental Report

These fees cover infrastructure and opera�onal costs regardless of how much water usage is used.

The current approved rates are shown below in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1. Current Approved Rate Schedule

2.2.2 Volumetric Unit Rate
The Volumetric Unit rate for the domes�c water sy stem is variable on a customer’s bill and is dependent on water used for each meter. The current volumetric rate, per hundred cubic feet (CCF) is $1.40 per CCF.

2.2.3 Service Connec�on Fee [Water Availability Fee] Revenue Revenue is collecte d from service connec�on fees, also known as water availability fees, ǁŚŝĐŚ contributeƐ to the capital improve ment projects related to growth. The current water availability fee is set at $7,334 per gross acre and this rate has been reviewed and needs to be revised to be a per meter rate to fully recoup growth expenditures. Staff will schedule mee�ngs with the Home Builders Associa�on and local key stakeholders to discuss the proposed
change to the calcula�on and increase the rate. Staff intend to take the increase to City Council prior to the end of 2025.

This revenue is not reflected in this 2025 Supplemental Report as what is being factored into the report includes only Non -Growth/Regulatory CIP. The Water Availability Fee r evenue contributes to growth related CIPs and offsets the costs of those projects.

2.2.4 Non-Opera�ng Revenue
The Water Department receives addi�onal sources of revenue generated during the planning and development of future residen�al and commercial developers. Non-Opera�ng Revenue includes plan checking fees, fire flow inspec�ons, fire-line inspec�ons, and fire hydrant maintenance fees.

The Department an�cipates collec�ng approximately $250,000 for non-opera�ng revenue.

3. REVENUE REQUIREMENT
A domestic water financial model was developed to derive the revenue requirements, also known as expenses, for FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30. This five-year period was chosen as the limits for the model because this is the allowable timeframe for a proposed rate increase.

3.1 Summary of Expenses
The revenue requirements represent the costs that must be covered by revenue from rates and other sources. For this study, the Water Department used the City’s Operation and Maintenance (O&M) budget for FY 2024 -25 and applied the annual assumptions shown i n Figure 3 -1, the known debt service remaining on one bond financed by Kern County Water Agency for Improvement District No. 4’s Henry C. Garnett Purification Plant expansion, and the City’s five - year capital improvements program for the domestic water system.

The escalation factors in Figure 3-1 summarize the effective annual percentage increases in various O&M cost categories.

3.2 City Opera�ons and Maintenance Expenses
Operations and maintenance expenses are the costs incurred and required to ens ure that the domestic water system is functioning efficiently and able to meet all health and safety requirements to deliver safe, clean, and reliable drinking water to residents and businesses.

As shown in Figure 3-4, the domestic water system’s expenses are projected to increas e from approximately $43.3 million to $50.3 million over the next five (5) years.

Operation and maintenance supplies, services, and utilities are projected to increase

3.5%
annually to account for rising service costs during the planning period. Additionally, to address the needs of the department to comply with water conservation and water quality regulations,
and rehabilitating aging infrastructure, additional staff and equipment have been integrated to implement a
water conservation unit and efficient maintenance
program.

Figure 3-4. Projected Domes�c Fund Expenses
The 5-year plan includes an increase of two (2) employees to the Domestic Water Division’s staff: one (1) water planner and
one (1) construction inspector.

Additionally, two (2)
positions will be reclassified,
as shown in Figure 3-5. The analysis includes an annual increase in salaries and benefit costs of approximately 4.0% per year due to anticipated step - raises and potential cost of living increases. In addition, computer equipment and vehicles have been included in the personnel costs for the positions that require the additional equipment. The expenses of adding these positions have been factored into the Department’s revenue requirement projections.

Additional personnel identified are administrative staff and construction inspectors.

The justification and purpose for these additional
staff membe
rs is provided in Exhibit B –
Personnel Memo.

3.3 Existing Debt Service
The Water Department does not hold bonds, rather contributes t o debt service remaining on one bond held by Improvement District No. 4’s Henry C. Garnet Purifica�on Plant expansion.

This debt service is and expense to the City and expected to be paid in full by 2037-2038.

Figure 3-6 summarizes the debt service schedule.

Figure
3-6. Projected Debt Service Expense

3.4 Capital Improvements
The domestic water financial model includes CIPs that have been iden�fied by City Engineering staff from the Water Department to comply with regulatory requirements. These CIPs account
for improvements needed to ensure sufficient fire flow pressures and water quality in the domes�c water system, which are shown in Figure 3-7 and further explained in Exhibit C – Capital Improvement Projects Memo
.

There are several significant capital projects associated with water quality regula�ons.

Effec�ve January 1, 2025, water purveyors must monitor and plan to treat PFOS. The City is aware of nine wells within the domes�c water system that need to have PFOS re moval vessels installed at the well site for well head treatment.

This process needs to be opera�onal by
April 2029 or the well will need to be
taken out of service un�l such �me as treatment can
be added. City plans to address six wells by 2029 and then focus on the remaining three over the next two years.

In addi�on, City has several
wells that treat for H2S and over �me, these vessels are impacted by the gas and begin to erode from the inside. There
are six well sites that need to have H2S
vessels

replaced to ensure the site does not need to be taken out of service if the treatment process cannot be performed.

Finally, to ensure that City meets America Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 [AWIA], well sites are to have back up generators in case of power failure emergencies. Several of the generators are old and need to be replaced to meet the San Joaquin Valley Ai r Pollu�on Control District ’s air quality requirements. City plans to replace two generators per year to ensure they are compliant and meet all regula�ons.

3.5 Domes�c Water Fund Reserve
Target
In ad di�on to covering annual expenses, the readiness -to-serve and volumetric unit rates are required to generate revenues to maintain adequate opera�ons, debt service and capital reserves.

To determine what cons�tutes adequate reserve amounts, the 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study iden�fied that the City’s domes�c water fund target reserve requirement would be aligned with the industry standard.

This industry standard is 25% of the annual opera�on and maintenance budget, any debt service requirement and a five -year rolling average of Non -Growth/Regulatory Capital Improvement Line Project FY 25-26 FY 26-27 FY 27-28 FY 28-29 FY 29-30 1 Non-Growth/Regulatory Related Projects

Projects, which makes the reserve target variable and dependent on the costs of providing the service.

In addi�on, as part of the Kern County Subbasin’s Well Mi�ga�on Program as further explained in Sec�on 3.5.4, Groundwater Sustainability Agencies are required to maintain reserve funds for domes�c well mi�ga�on.

3.5.1. Opera�ng Reserve Target
City follows an Opera�ng Reserve policy of 25% of annual opera�ng expenses as defined by the 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study and industry standard . This provides a greater financial buffer to the Domes�c Water Fund, allowing for funding to be available in the event of an emergency. This policy requires that between $11 to $13 million be held in reserves during this 5-year period.

3.5.2. Capital Reserve Target
The Capital Reserve provides liquidity for the City to be able to pay contractors without encroaching on the Opera�ng Reserves. A capital reserve target balance was calculated, based on the 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study, as a five-year rolling average of Non- Growth/Regulatory Capital Improvement Projects for the domes�c water system. The average Non-Growth/Regulatory capital improvement project costs from FY 2025- 26 to FY 202 9-30 is approximately $7 million, which is the amount used for the capital reserve target for the 5-year period.

3.5.3. Debt Reserve Target
The Debt Reserve Target accounts for the debt service requirement the City is obligated to meet.

The City currently has debt service related to the Kern County Water Agency bond, as clarified in Sec�on 3.3, and includes the debt service as an expense. If the City were to hold a bond, the debt service will be factored into the debt reserve target.

3.5.4. Domes�c Well Mi�ga�on Reserve Target
In 2024, as part of the Kern County Subbasin’s Well Mi�ga�on Program, Groundwater Sustainability Agencies are covering expenses related to well mi�ga�on that is associated with groundwater management within its boundaries. In accordance with the Subbasin, the domes�c water fund is required to maintain a reserve target of $167,667. This figure is factored into the domes�c water fund’s reserve target.

3.5.5. Total Domes�c Water Fund Reserve Target
The Total Domes�c Enterprise Fund Reserve Target is determined by compiling the reserve target for opera�ons, debt service, capital improvements, and domes�c well mi�ga�on on an annual City of Bakersfield 2025 Supplemental Report

basis. Figure 3-8 summarizes the components of the annual reserve targets and iden�fies the Total Domes�c Enterprise Fund Reserve Target.

The reserve target for the FY 2025-26 through 2029-30 is shown below in Figure 3-8.

4. REVENUE – CURRENT RATES
A domes�c water financial model was developed to derive the revenue needed to offset expenses for FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30. This five-year period was chosen as the limits for the model because Proposi�on 218 allows for five -year rate increases. Based on this model, the revenue generated has been analyzed to ensure the fund remains posi�ve at the end of this five -year period.

4.1 Revenue sources
As the 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study explains in further detail, the City’s domes�c fund recoups expenditures via two revenue sources: volumetric water quan�ty rates and readiness-to-serve rates. The volumetric water quan�ty rate is a variable rate dependent on the residents’ or business’s consump�on within their property. The readiness -to-serve rate is a fixed rate dependent on the size of the meter that is equitable to the strain placed on the water system.

4.2 Current Revenue
The total revenue discussed above, based on the current rates for readiness-to-serve, usage, and non-opera�onal fees, has been compiled and is shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. Total Do
mes�c Water Revenue [Without Service Charge Increase]

4.3 Domes�c Water Fund Balance
The Domes�c Water Fund Balance as of June 30, 2024 is es�mated to be $25 million.

This fund balance total includes revenues from readiness-to-serve, usage, and non-opera�onal fees. This fund balance is considered the star�ng revenue for FY 2025-26 and will be added to as reve nue is collected throughout this fiscal year. Any posi�ve balance le� at the end of FY 2025-26 will be the star�ng fund balance for FY 2026-27, and so on and so forth. The total annual revenue requirement, also known as expenses, that was iden�fied and discussed in Sec�on 3 is included in Figure 4-2 to determine if the current revenue collected based on the current rates can maintain a balanced 5-year financial model.

4.4 Revenue Shor�alls
As Figure 4.2 shows, City is projec�ng a nega�ve cashflow ranging between $9.9 million to $13 million for the next 5 years. City staff has evaluated the reasoning for these shor�alls in the following sec�ons.

4.4.1 Projected Growth of Annual Water Use
The 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study had used a factor of 2% to account for the projected growth of annual water use, which consists of two factors: growth from new service connec�ons and water demand per connec�on. The 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study assumed the 2% increase would be completely atributed to new service connec�ons and a 0% change in water demand per connec�on. Upon further inspec�on with updated data, t
he City's domes�c water system has demonstrated consiste nt growth over the past five ye ars closer to 1.75% in new service connec�ons. While this expansion accounts for slightly less than the assumed 2% increase in revenues from the readiness-to-serve rates, a closer look at the vo
lumetric water quan�ty rate structure in light of the new s t ate water conserva�on legisla�on is impera�ve to ensure long-term financial stability.

4.4.2 State Water Conserva�on Regula�ons
Furthermore, compliance with state water conserva�on legisla�on necessitates significant investment in conserva�on programs and public outreach. The City has been opera�ng under Stage 2 of its Water Shortage Con�ngency Plan since 2022, reflec�ng ongoing efforts to promote Line FY 25-26 FY 26-27 FY 27-28 FY 28-29 FY 29-30

Therefore, a thorough analysis of the current rate structure, considering both growth and conserva�on -driven usage reduc�ons, is essen�al to ensure equitable cost recovery and sustainable water resource management.

The 2023 Water Rate and Service Connec�on Fee Study made the inaccurate assump�on of a 0% change in water demand that did not account for fluctua�ons in water consump�on over the years, either increases or decreases. However, recent data da�ng back to 2018 demonstrates a reduc�on in the City’s total wa ter usage, as shown in Figure 4-3, and further declines are an�cipated due to evolving regulatory mandates.
