SUBJECT: Resolution to authorize the sale of a riding lawn mower (equipment) to the Bakersfield Police Activities League (BPAL), a non-profit organization, for one dollar ($1.00).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

BACKGROUND:

The City has received a request from the Bakersfield Police Activities League (BPAL), a non-profit organization in Bakersfield, CA, to receive a surplus riding lawn mower. BPAL provides guidance to at-risk youth through quality educational and athletic after-school programs as healthy alternatives to drugs, alcohol, gangs, and violence. Police officers and other community members volunteer their time as coaches, mentors, role models, and friends to children in our community.

As BPAL’s programs continue to grow, the maintenance needs of their facility have increased significantly.

BPAL currently cares for approximately four acres of sports fields that are used daily by hundreds of local youths participating in recreational, athletic, and mentorship activities. The sale of a surplus riding mower to BPAL will directly support their ongoing field maintenance efforts and help ensure these spaces remain safe, functional, and accessible for the community.

Staff recommend the sale of surplus equipment of one (1) John Deere 1600WAM riding mower to BPAL, for one dollar ($1.00) to support BPAL’s ongoing field maintenance efforts. 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.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

COUNCIL GOAL:

Economic Opportunity for All

Mr. Jaime Flores
4101 Truxtun Ave. Bldg D.

Bakersfield, CA 93309
Dear Mr. Flores,
On behalf of the Bakersfield Police Activities League (BPAL), I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the City of Bakersfield for its continued partnership and support of our mission to serve the youth and families of our community.

As our programs and participation continue to grow, the maintenance needs of our facility have also increased significantly. We currently maintain approximately four acres of sports fields that are used daily by hundreds of local youths participating in recreational, athletic, and mentorship activities. To ensure these spaces remain safe, functional, and welcoming, we are reaching out to request assistance from the city in obtaining equipment essential to our ongoing maintenance efforts.

Specifically, we are seeking:
 Large lawn mowers to maintain our fields
 Weed eaters, edgers, and blowers
 40-volt batteries
 A bunker rake to maintain our baseball diamond
 A utility cart for ground maintenance
Any and all assistance the city may be able to provide, whether through equipment allocation, surplus inventory, or other means would make a meaningful difference in our ability to sustain and improve our facility for the youth we serve.

We greatly appreciate your consideration and support in helping BPAL continue to provide a safe and well-maintained environment for our community’s young people. Please feel free to contact me directly at (661) 283-8880 or [email protected] if you would like to discuss this request in more detail.

Thank you again for your continued partnership and for all that the City of Bakersfield does to support youth development and community engagement.

Subject: BPAL Facility Maintenance Equipment – Request for Assistance (Letter Attached) CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders.

Dear Mr. Flores,
On behalf of the Bakersfield Police Activities League (BPAL), I’m reaching out to request the City’s assistance with essential equipment to maintain our facilities and fields. I’ve attached a formal request letter outlining our needs and the impact on the youth we serve.

In brief, we’re seeking support with items such as large lawn mowers, weed eaters, edgers, blowers, 40- volt batteries, a bunker rake for our baseball diamond, and a utility cart. Any help, whether equipment allocation, surplus inventory, or other support would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration, and for all the city does for our community. I’m happy to discuss further at your convenience.

Warm regards,
Naomi Vidales, Executive Director
Bakersfield Police Activities League

5 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: RESOLUTION TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer M. Byers, Economic and Community Development Director DATE: December 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City of Bakersfield to submit a joint application with Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the Homekey+ program (not to exceed $35,000,000) to develop services and Permanent Supportive Housing at 901 Union Avenue. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.

BACKGROUND:

The Homekey+ program is a statewide initiative aimed at developing Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) for veterans and individuals with mental health or substance use disorders who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. The Homekey+ competitive grant is being administered through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the City is requesting up to $35,000,000.

On March 26, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution 030-2025 to apply for Homekey+ funds. Since then, the City and CAPK have submitted a joint Homekey+ grant application to HCD to provide wrap around services and 30 units of Permanent Supportive Housing to be located at the former Ramkabir Motel (901 Union Avenue).

HCD completed a first review of the application and requested updated resolution using a new State Homekey+ Resolution template. Adopting the updated proposed resolution would allow staff to comply with the State’s requirements and re-submit the Homekey+ application for a final review and consideration for Homekey+ funding award.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adoption of the resolution keeps the City commitment to continue to have the State Grant pay for the cost of the project, therefore the adopting the resolution creates no fiscal impact to the City General Fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Economic Opportunity for All
Innovative and Efficient City Government
Safety and Resilience

Resolution confirming approval by the City Manager designee of the Code Enforcement Manager’s report regarding assessments of certain properties in the City for which structures have been secured against entry or for the abatement of certain weeds, debris and waste matter and the demolishment of dangerous buildings and authorizing collection of the assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of resolution.

BACKGROUND:

Assessment hearing was held on November 10, 2025, by the City Manager designee and all proposed charges were confirmed. The subject properties listed in Exhibit A (attached) were in violation of Chapter

8.27 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining open and abandoned dilapidated structures which constitute public nuisances and prohibits maintaining hazardous weeds, debris, and waste matter and/or were determined to be in violation of Chapter 15.24 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining dangerous buildings. The property owners were notified and failed to comply with the notices to abate such public nuisance. After a hearing duly noticed and held before the Building Director, the Director issued orders requiring the property owner to abate the public nuisance.

The subject properties are listed in Exhibit A.

The owners of the listed properties failed to commence the required work as ordered by the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed in Exhibit A were abated under the direction of the Code Enforcement Manager. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed against the property as provided for in Chapter

8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Property owners had been given notice of their right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the City Manager designee and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public nuisance. The City Manager designee has approved the assessments associated with the properties.

The Council will need to confirm the approval of the City Manager designee of the costs incurred by the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be made a lien against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Results of this action places expenditures for abatements and staff cost recovery on the tax role for each code case on an individual property where the cost has not been paid. Revenue from this action is received in the future from the County of Kern Tax Collector and placed into the City General Fund.

MEETING DATE: December 17, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director
DATE: December 5, 2025
SUBJECT: Dispense with bidding for the purchase of a stencil truck for the General Services Division.

Resolution determining that a stencil truck can most efficiently be obtained through cooperative procurement bidding procedures from National Auto Fleet Group and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding for the purchase of one (1) unit in the amount of $170,785 for the General Services Division within the Public Works Department.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend adoption of the resolution and approval of the purchase.

BACKGROUND:

This purchase of one (1) stencil truck for the General Services Division within the Public Works Department will replace a unit that is more than twelve years old and has become worn out and unreliable. The Fleet Division has determined that the unit meets the criteria for replacement and recommends the purchase of a new unit providing more efficiency and improved performance.

The City municipal code section 3.20.060(D)(6) allows the City to dispense with bidding when it is determined that the equipment is not available from local vendors and that it is in the best interests of the City, and to the City’s economic advantage that such equipment be obtained at the lowest possible cost by entering into a cooperative procurement contract that was competitively bid within the last thirtysix months or is one that is still active and valid.

National Auto Fleet Group has entered into a competitive procurement contract with Sourcewell to offer discount pricing for their equipment. Staff recommend adoption of the Resolution to dispense with bidding for the purchase of one (1) stencil truck from National Auto Fleet Group in the amount of $170,785 for General Services Division within the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds were previously budgeted for this purchase.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: November 26, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolutions of Intention 2250 and 2251 to add Areas 5-144 and 4-319 to the Consolidated Maintenance District
and preliminarily approving, confirming, and adopting the Public Works Director’s Report for each:

1. ROI No. 2250 adding Area 5-144 (3501 Meeks Ave.): Street Tier = 0; Park Tier = 0 – (Ward 1)

2. ROI No. 2251 adding Area 4-319 (238 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.): Street Tier = 2; Park Tier = 0.5 – (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 constructed 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 area 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 5-144
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 3501 Meeks Avenue 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 hardscaping 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.

3. Amendment No. 46 to Resolution No. 44-93 setting salaries and related benefits for the Temporary Unit.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the Resolutions.

BACKGROUND:

The most current labor negotiations between the City of Bakersfield and the employees of the Blue and White Collar Units, represented by Service Employees International Union, Local 521 (SEIU) were recently concluded and have resulted in a proposed two (2) year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). A summary of MOU terms are highlighted below:
• Term is from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027;
• General language clean-up;
• Substitution of Floating Holidays for a Holiday Closure and holiday pay as scheduled; and • Compensation:
o 2% effective the first full pay period following City Council adoption; o 2% effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2026.

This proposed agreement has been tentatively agreed to by both the City and SEIU and is consistent with Council approved guidelines. City staff is appreciative of SEIU and the leadership of the Blue and White Collar Units for working towards an agreement in a challenging budget environment.

Members of the General Supervisory and Management (inclusive of non-represented Police and Fire Management) units are not represented, or defined as a bargaining unit, the employees have traditionally modeled the salary increases and benefits provided to Blue & White employees represented by SEIU, which at this time reflects:
• Substitution of Floating Holidays for a Holiday Closure and holiday pay as scheduled; and • Compensation:
o 2% effective the first full pay period following City Council adoption; o 2% effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2026.

New salary ranges for included classifications are provided in the updated salary schedule. Included is the resolution setting salaries and related benefits for temporary classifications. The resolution, if approved, will provide temporary classifications the same rate of pay as the full-time equivalent classification.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of the recommended salary increases for the remainder of the current fiscal year is $1,431,347, estimated at full headcount. Budget allocations will be expended using year-to-date personnel vacancy savings and other operational cost savings initiatives. Future allocations, which will be based on approved headcount, will be allocated in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget.

Innovative and Efficient City Government
