ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: January 7, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: - Consent Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Terry, Chief of Police
DATE: December 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving the Bakersfield Police Department’s Military Equipment Use Policy and Annual Report
and Authorizing the Funding, Acquisition, and Use of Equipment Pursuant to the Policy.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.

BACKGROUND: On September 30, 2021, the Governor approved Assembly Bill No. 481 which requires, among other things, that local law enforcement agencies maintain a "military equipment use policy " (hereafter, the " Policy") governing the purposes and authorized uses for which the agency proposes to use certain equipment. The law broadly defines “military equipment” to include a wide variety of equipment routinely used by law enforcement agencies, including types of vehicles, drones, and weapons.

The law requires the Policy to be approved by the governing body of the agency before a law enforcement agency may request, seek funds for, acquire, use, or collaborate with other agencies in the deployment of military equipment, and to renew that approval annually. The Department must also prepare an annual report that summarizes, among other things, use of the equipment and any public complaints.

The City Council has approved the Department’s Policy (currently, BPD Policy No. 705) annually since 2022, most recently via Resolution No. 188 -2024. The Bakersfield Police Department has successfully utilized, and desires to continue to utilize, the equipment identified in the Policy for the purpose of increasing the safety of our community and our officers, while reducing the likelihood of death and injury. The Department also collaborates with other law enforcement agencies, including but not limited to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office, in the deployment of military equipment when available and necessary to provide effective and efficient law enforcement response to public safety emergencies, which further enhances the public safety of the community. Accordingly, the Department’s acquisition and use of the equipment, including equipment provided or shared by other law enforcement agencies, is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.

The Policy has not substantively changed but for updates to the annual inventory and report as required by law. The attached Resolution renews the approval of the Policy and the Department’s annual report so that the Police Department may continue to acquire, fund and utilize certain equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The approval of the resolution has no net result in fiscal impact to the City.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Safety and Resilience

WHEREAS , on September 30, 2021 the Governor approved Assembly Bill No. 481 which requires, among other things, that local law enforcement agencies maintain a “military equipment use policy” (hereafter, the “Policy”) governing the purposes and authorized uses for which the agency p roposes to use certain “military equipment,” as broadly defined in the new law; and WHEREAS , the Policy must be approved by the governing body of the agency before a law enforcement agency may request, seek funds for, acquire, use, or collaborate with other agencies in the deployment of military equipment, and thereafter such approval must be renewed annually; and WHEREAS, the new State law definition of “military equipment ” broadly encompasses a wide variety of types of equipment no t previously considered military in nature, making it particularly difficult to inventory all types of equipment that may now or in the future be in use by the Department; and WHEREAS , the Bakersfield Police Department has therefore d eveloped a Policy (currently identified as Policy 705) in acco rdance with new State law that, among other things, includes a broad description of each type of equipment sought or used, their capabilities, purchase cost a nd life span, as well as legal, procedural, and training requirements for officers’ use of the equipment; and WHEREAS, the City Council previously approved Policy 705 as set forth in Resolution Nos. 194-2022, 185-2023 and 188-2024, an d the City Council desires to renew such approval via this Resolution; and
WHEREAS , the Bakersfield Police Department has successfull y utilized, and desires to continue to utilize, the equipment identified in the Policy for the purpose of increasing the safety of our community and our o fficers, while reducing the likelihood of death and injury; and
WHEREAS, the Bakersfield Police Department has provided an u pdated annual report in accordance with Government Code se ction 7072, which is also Resolution Approving the Bakersfield Police Departm ent’s Military Equipment Use Policy

- Page 2 of 3 Pages -

incorporated into the Department’s Policy and is hereby received and approved; and
WHEREAS , occasionally the Bakersfield Police Department also collaborates with other law enforcement agencies, including but not limited to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office, in the deployment of milit ary equipment when available and necessary to provide effective and efficient la w enforcement response to public safety emergencies, which further enhances t he public safety of the community; and
WHEREAS, the City Council therefore finds that the Department’s acquisition and use of the equipment, including equipment provided or shared by other law enforcement agencies, is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and WHEREAS , the Department’s Policy governing use of the equi pment will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties; and WHEREAS , the types of equipment identified in the policy are approved for purchase as reasonably cost effective compared to a vailable alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and WHEREAS , the Department’s prior use of the equipment was consistent with Department policies in effect at the time of use an d moving forward the Policy will govern all continuing and future uses of military equipment, and therefore the Policy adequately ensures future compliance.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Bakersfield as follows:

1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorpo rated herein by reference and shall constitute the City Council’s f indings in support of approval as set forth in Government Code section 7071.

Cory D. Randolph
COPS Acting Director
Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforces federal civil rights laws and other provisions that prohibit discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance from OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).

Several civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance (recipients) to give assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these and other civil rights laws prohibit recipients from discriminating in the provision of services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and sex or from discriminating in the provision of services on the bases of age.

Some recipients of DOJ financial assistance have additional obligations to comply with other applicable nondiscrimination provisions like the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion in addition to race, color, national origin, and sex. Recipients may also have related requirements regarding the development and implementation of equal employment opportunity programs.

OCR provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to help recipients comply with civil rights obligations.

Further, OCR administratively enforces civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions by investigating DOJ recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints. In addition, OCR conducts compliance reviews of DOJ recipients based on regulatory criteria. These investigations and compliance reviews permit OCR to evaluate whether DOJ recipients are providing services to the public and engaging in employment practices in a nondiscriminatory manner.

For more information about OCR, your civil rights and nondiscrimination responsibilities, how to notify your employees or beneficiaries of their civil rights protections and responsibilities and how to file a complaint, as well as technical assistance, training, and other resources, please visit www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/outreach. If you would like OCR to assist you in fulfilling your civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities, please contact us at askOCR@o jp.usdoj.govor www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/about#ocr-contacts.

Staff recommend adoption of the Resolution to dispense with bidding for the purchase of two (2) roll-off trucks in the amount of $814,780 ($407,390 per unit cost) for the Solid Waste Division within the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds in the amount of $434,880 have been budgeted in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund as part of the FY 2025-26 budget approved by Council on June 25, 2025, for the purchase of roll -off trucks . Staff desire to appropriate and transfer the full amount of $434,880 to the Public Works Department’s Operating budget within the Equipment Management Fund to complete the purchase of one additional roll -off truck in the amount of $407,390 (per unit cost) resulting in savings in the amount of $27,490.

Funds in the amount of $400,000 have been budgeted for the replacement of one roll -off truck. Staff will use savings in the amount of $7,390 to complete the purchase of one roll -of truck for the Solid Waste Division within the Public Works Department. Therefore, the Solid Waste Division in the Public Works department is an Enterprise Fund and this action will have no impact on the General Fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

1. Resolution determining that an asphalt paver can most efficiently be obtained through cooperative procurement bidding procedures from Quinn Cat and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding for the purchase of one unit in the amount of $670,664 for the Streets Division within the Public Works Department.

2. Appropriate $621,555 Equipment Management Fund balance to the Public Works Department’s Operating budget

3. Appropriate and transfer $49,109 Self-Insurance Fund balance to the Public Works Department’s Operating budget within the Equipment Management Fund to complete the purchase of one unit.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend adoption of the resolution and approval of the appropriation and transfer to complete the purchase
BACKGROUND:

This previously approved unbudgeted purchase of an asphalt paver for the Streets Division within the Public Works Department will replace a unit that was involved in a collision and sustain major damage.

The cost of the repairs exceeds the value of the unit; therefore, Fleet staff recommend replacing the unit.

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 interes ts 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 thirty- six months or is one that is still active and valid.

Quinn Cat 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 an asphalt paver from Quinn Cat in the amount of $670,664 for the Streets Division within the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This unexpected purchase requires appropriation from the Equipment Management Fund balance to the Public Works Department’s Operating budget in the am ount of $621,555 which has been recovered through rental rates. Additionally, an appropriation and transfer amount of $49,109 Self -Insurance Fund balance to the Public Works Department’s Operating budget will be necessary to complete the purchase.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: January 7, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: December 5, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolutions to add the following territories to the Consolidated Maintenance District and confirming, approving, and adopting the Public Works Director’s Report for each:

1. Area 5-144 (3501 Meeks Avenue): Street Tier = 0; Park Tier = 0 (Ward 1)

2. Area 4-319 (238 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard): Street Tier = 2; Park Tier = 0.5 (Ward 2)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adopting the resolutions.

BACKGROUND:

On December 17, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolutions of Intention No. 2250 and 2251 to add Areas 5-144 and 4-319, respectively, to 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. 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 addition of these areas to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.

The City of Bakersfield has received letters from the owners of the properties listed above which waives 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 also have submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating consent to the assessment.

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 this resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The revenue from Maintenance Assessment Districts partially supports ongoi ng 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 city-wide.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

WORKS DIRECTOR’S REPORT, THE BOUNDARIES OF THE

ADDITION, THE FAIRNESS OF THE BENEFIT FORMULA, AND THE

AMOUNT OF THE ASSESSMENT TO BE LEVIED AGAINST EACH
PARCEL. (WARD 1)

WHEREAS, the Public Works Director has filed with the City Clerk the Public Works Director’s Report, including a budget, assessment formula, improvements to be maintained by the district, description of property and proposed assessments; and

WHEREAS, Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield provides for a procedure by which the City Council may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating any public improvements which are local in nature, from annual benefit assessments apportioned among the lots or parcels of property within the established Consolidated Maintenance District (“CMD”). The assessments to be placed on parcels within this district area reflect that portion of the cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping ("special benefit") above and beyond the basic cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping throughout the City ("general benefit"); and

WHEREAS, as set forth in the attached Public Works Director’s Report (Exhibit 1), the property within this new area reflects that portion of the cost of maintenance of public street landscaping and/or a public park, based on the location of said improvements in or near said area, above and beyond the general benefit of parcels within the City that are not part of the CMD. Each parcel within this area will be assessed its proportionate share of special benefit based on its zoning and size.

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Bakersfield to add Area 5-144 (3501 Meeks Avenue) generally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to the CMD, in order to maintain local improvements including street landscaping and/or a public park; and

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, heretofore by Resolution of Intention No. 2250 declared its intention to add territory to the CMD, preliminarily confirmed and approved the Public Works Director's Report, the boundaries of the proposed additional territory, the fairness

of the benefit formula, and the amount of assessment to be levied against each parcel. Said additional territory shall be designated Area 5-144, as shown and designated on that certain map entitled “Map and Assessment Diagram for Addition of Territory, Area 5-144 (3501 Meeks Avenue), to the Consolidated Maintenance District, Bakersfield, California,” for this fiscal year on file in the offices of the City Clerk and Public Works Director, City of Bakersfield; and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, as follows:

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein.

2. The Council hereby adds territory, Area 5-144 to the CMD and confirms and adopts the Public Works Director’s Report, including the amounts of assessment for each assessed parcel.

3. Exhibits "A" and "B" describe the additional territory.

4. All parcels within this additional territory shall be assessed at an amount not to exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit per year. 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 Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscape improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tiers will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above-described Consumer Price Index. The benefit formula (Exhibit "C"), budget (Exhibit "D"), assessment roll (Exhibit "E"), and letter from the property owner(s) requesting inclusion in the CMD (Exhibit “H”) are attached hereto.

5. The Kern County Tax Collector is hereby authorized to collect such assessments.

6. Beginning in the 2025-2026 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Public Works Director is hereby directed to prepare an annual report, as provided in Chapter 13.04 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, and file it with the City Clerk within the time allowed for placement of assessments on the County tax rolls for

Page 3 of 4 ends

the applicable fiscal year. Upon filing of the annual report, the Clerk shall set a hearing before the City Council and give Notice of Hearing in the manner prescribed in Chapter 13.04 of said code.

7. The City Council hereby reserves the right to perform the work of maintenance and operation of the public improvements by City forces or by private contractor. Such determination and election is to be made for each year at the time the budget and
assessment is approved for the year in question.

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 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.

SROs are available to respond to emergency calls for service for the BPD but will otherwise report to the superintendent or designee when working as an SRO on school related business.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Shielding the Frontline, Kern County ($192,000) for counseling services for the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) frontline personnel and their families.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of agreement.

BACKGROUND: Police Officers routinely respond to critical incidents, and work with difficult, even hostile individuals, they encounter an array of many complex situations as they serve our community. This can cause mental fatigue and stress that affect their work and personal lives. The strategy directed by BPD is to provide more peer support services and assist officers and employees in dealing with stress and anxiety that has manifested in a variety of ways.

The BPD has been monitoring these signs, and the inevitable effects on employees and has begun taking steps to address various wellness issues. The goal is to promote the mission of public safety through a culture of wellness and partner with community resources to advance that culture.

On August 22, 2023, the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) entered into agreement No. PD23-036 with Shielding the Front Line, Kern C ounty in the amount of $40,000 and a term date of August 22, 2024, for counseling services for frontline law enforcement personnel and their families.

Shielding the Frontline, Kern County (SFKC) is a 501c3 nonprofit committed to serving the behavioral health needs of Bakersfield Police Department sworn personnel. The scope of services provided to BPD sworn personnel include confidential in-person and telehealth counseling services through a network of 24 licensed clinicians specializing in trauma, behavio ral health, and family support. As part of the nonprofit, these professionals have been contracted at discounted rates to support their mission.

Due to the success of the program and new funding provided by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Orie nted Policing Services (COPS) Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMHWA) Grant Program in the amount of $192,000 the BPD requests to enter into a new contract with Shielding the Frontline, Kern County with a term date to end December 31, 2027 to continue counseling services for frontline law enforcement and their families.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for these services will be covered by the LEMHWA grant funds for officer wellness services.

BACKGROUND:

In July 2023, the State of California established the Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Round 5 Program (HHAP-5) to be administered by California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HHAP-5 is a $1 billion one-time block grant that provides local jurisdictions with flexible funding to continue efforts to end and prevent homelessness in their communities.

On February 14, 2024, the City Council entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (Agreement No. 2024-036) with the County of Kern and the Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative to apply for Round 5 HHAP funds. The City was awarded $5,678,236.56. The HHAP5 application included a funding set aside specifically for shelter operations for The Open Door Network and the Mission at Kern County.

The agreement before Council would provide $350,000 in HHAP-5 funding to The Open Door Network (TODN) to pay for an additional year of shelter operations. TODN will continue to provide emergency shelter, permanent housing navigation, and connections to vital community resources to individuals experiencing homelessness within the City of Bakersfield. The term ends January 31, 2027. TODN has received HHAP-1 and HHAP-4 grant funds for shelter operations totaling $1,660,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The action to approve this agreement for these services will be utilizing State Grant funds, therefore this action will not impact the City General Fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: 1/7/2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: 12/16/2025
SUBJECT: Contract Change Order Nos. 16 and 17 to Agreement No. 2024-235 (7th Movement) with Granite Construction Company (increasing compensation by $158,885.36; revised not to exceed $27,926,329.43) for the Centennial Corridor EB58 to NB99 Loop Connector Project. (Wards 1 & 2)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of the change orders.

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. 16 provides compensation to the contractor to construct an additional 219 cubic yards (CY) of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP). The footprint of JPCP located within the 99 median and beneath the separator bridge equates to a much larger quantity than the 14 CY st ated in the plans. The error was confirmed by the designer of record and corrected to be 233 CY. This change order results in a net increase of $130,000.00.

Change Order No. 17 provides compensation to the contractor for revisions to Drainage System 24. This includes a change in pipe size from 36” RCP to 30” RCP due to a conflict with the new column footing located within SR 99 median. The 36” RCP had already been procured by the contractor and the City elected to keep the pipe for future use. The contractor was directed to deliver the 65 linear feet of 36” RCP to the Union Avenue/Truxtun Avenue storage. Cost includes inefficiencies, delivery of the unused pipes, and removal of the existing drainage system. This change orde r results in a net increase of $28,885.36.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The sum of all change orders to date on this project reflects a total cost increase of $ 626,032.63 which results in a 2.29% increase of the original contract amount as illustrated below:

Original Contract Amount = $23,300,296.80
Previous Change Orders = $467,147.27
Current Change Order = $158,885.36
Amended Contract Agreement after CCOs = $23,926,329.43
Net Increase to date = $626,032.63

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: January 7, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Miscellaneous TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Darin Budak, Director Recreation and Parks
DATE: December 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Appropriate $16,319.20 in Water Conservation Rebate Program revenues received from California Water Service
to the Recreation and Parks Department Operating Budget within the General Fund. (Ward 4)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the appropriation.

BACKGROUND:

California Water Service (Cal Water) offers a Water Conservation Rebate Program (Program) for residential and commercial account customers that incentivizes water conservation. Staff successfully applied for the Program to perform upgrades to the irrigation system at The Park at Riverwalk (TPRW).

The Program paid for the installation of high efficiency irrigation components, including IQ Smart Controllers and water saving irrigation rotors and nozzles. These improvements are projected to reduce overall water consumption at TPRW.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the Recreation and Parks Department Operating Budget within the General Fund. The funds received are equal to the expenditure incurred.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Innovative and Efficient City Government
ATTACHMENTS:

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: January 7, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Miscellaneous TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: December 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Appropriate and transfer additional $50,000 from the Domestic Water Connection Fees Fund for the purchase of land for water well site.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approving the appropriation.

BACKGROUND:

City has identified the need for additional groundwater supply to meet current and future domestic water demands. As part of the Old River Ranch development (Tract 6577), City is in the process of acquiring parcel(s) suitable for the construction of a future municipal water production well.

At the November 19, 2025 City Council meeting, Council approved the appropriation of $350,000 for the land purchase. The property appraisal has since been completed and was received at an amount higher than originally anticipated. As a result, staff are requesting an additional appropriation of $50,000 to complete the acquisition.

Funding for the purchase will be appropriated from the Domestic Water Connection Fee s Fund, also referred to as the Water Availability Fee Fund, which was established to support future water supply development and related infrastructure needs. The transfer of $50,000 to the Domestic Water Fund will allow the acquisition to be properly recorded as a capital asset of the water enterprise.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will authorize the appropriation and transfer funds from the Water Availability Fees Fund (4490) to the Domestic Water Fund (4410) for the purchase of the well site at Old River Ranch Tract 6577. Sufficient funds are available, and there will be no impact on the general fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

GLOSSARY

City of Bakersfield

GLOSSARY
● Air Pollution: Harmful pollutants in the air that degrade air quality and pose risks to human health and the environment. Air pollution is a broad term that encompasses both criteria air pollutants and hazardous air pollutants. ● Air Quality: A measure of the cleanliness of air based on the presence of air pollut ion. In the U.S., the system used to measure air quality is the Air Quality Index, which is calculated by measuring several air pollutants on a scale from “Good” to “Hazardous” to produce a combined value of 0 to 500.
● Carbon Sink: A natural or artificial process, activity, or system that removes and absorbs climate pollution from the atmosphere, such a s soils, trees, wetlands, and carbon capture technologies.
● Carbon Stock: The total amount of carbon stored in a system, such as natural and working lands, at a given point in time. It represents the accumulated carbon that has been captured from the atmosphere and stored in living biomass and soils, for example. ● Climate Change: Long-term shifts in global temperature and weather patterns caused by human activities (e.g., the combustion of fossil fuels) that have released excess amounts of climate pollution into the atmosphere. ● Climate Hazards: Acute or chronic physical events or trends that are directly influenced by climate stressors (among other factors) and pose potential threats to human, ecological, or built systems. Generally, climate hazards are not necessarily “new” hazards, but r ather existing hazards that are worsened or exacerbated in some way by climate stressors. ● Climate Impacts: Consequences of climate stressors and/or climate hazards on human, ecological, or built systems. Climate impacts are intrinsically wide-ranging, and they encompass consequences related to public health and safety, energy demand and reliability, emergency response, public health, recreation, agriculture, the economy, the environment, transportation, and more. ● Climate Pollution: Heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere that contribute to climate change and that are primarily emitted by human activities across multiple sectors. Some common climate pollutants include carbon dioxide and methane. Climate pollutants are also commonly referred to as “greenhouse gases.”
● Climate Stressors: Underlying changes in Earth’s climate system that can affect the occurrence, frequency, intensity, and/or duration of climate hazards.
● Criteria Air Pollutants: Six common air pollutants that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates under the Clean Air Act, which includes particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and ozone. iv

GLOSSARY

City of Bakersfield
● Frontline Community: A community that is disproportionately exposed to and affected by environmental burdens (e.g., pollution-related risks) due to an array of overlapping socioeconomic, demographic, and environmental factors that are also compounded by social vulnerabilities and historical and systemic inequities.
● Hazardous Air Pollutants: Toxic air pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive, neurological, or developmental disorders.
● Natural and Working Lands: Landscapes that either remain undeveloped, such as wetlands, grasslands, and shrublands, or that are actively managed for economic purposes, like croplands and orchards. Together, natural and working lands play a vital role in storing carbon, supporting biodiversity, and enhancing resilience.
● Nature-Based Solutions: Strategies that use natural systems or mimic natural processes to address environmental challenges and provide additional sustainability and resilience benefits, such as air and water quality improvements. ● Resilience: The capacity of a system (e.g., community, ecosystem, infrastructure) to absorb, adapt to, and recover from climate- and pollution- related disruptions while maintaining its essential functions. It encompasses both the ability to withstand immediate impac ts and to adjust in ways that reduce future vulnerability.
● Sustainability: The implementation of solutions that meet current societal needs without compromising the needs of future generations, whic h requires balancing economic protection, economic viability, and social equity through approaches that can be maintained indefinit ely without depleting resources or harming communities.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION
Situated at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley in the heart of Kern County, the City of Bakersfield
(hereinafter referred to as: [1] “city” or “Bakersfield” when pertaining to the geography of Bakersfield; or [2] “City” when pertaining to the local government) and
surrounding area are widely recognized as one of the
fastest growing regions in the state. Currently home to over 400,000 residents, Bakersfield sits at a key
geographic crossroads, nestled between the Tehachapi
Mountains to the south, the Sequoia National Forest to the east, and the Temblor Range to the west. Often
described as the southern gateway to California’s Central Valley, the city’s location, climate, and infrastructure have made it a longstanding hub for agriculture and
energy pro duction. Today, Bakersfield continues to
evolve, serving as a center for logistics, manufacturing, and service industries while welcoming new residents and visitors drawn to the city’s relative affordability, job opportunities, access to recreation, and active network of community-based organizations (CBOs) that reflect its
multicultural and intergenerational identity.

As the city grows and adapts to shifting economic,
environmental, and social conditions, it faces both new opportunities and complex challenges, including the need to modernize infrastructure, improve public health,
respond to climate -related risks, and en sure that
prosperity is shared equitably across its communities. To meet these challenges and build upon Bakersfield’s
strengths, the City has developed this plan —
Sustainable
Opportunities Advancing Resilience (SOAR Bakersfield).

1.1 WHAT’S IN A NAME?
The name “SOAR Bakersfield” reflects the City’s vision
for a future that is resilient, prosperous, and rooted in the unique character of its people and communities. As an
acronym, SOAR stands for “Sustainable Opportunities
Advancing Resilience,” where each component
represents a guiding principle of this plan. The first
guiding principle,
Sustainable, focuses on updating
essential systems and services in ways that improve
efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance quality of life. The Opportunities guiding princ iple reflects Bakersfield’s economic potential, growing population, and cultural
diversity, and ultimately supports the City’s efforts to invest in local industries, expand workforce development, and build an inclusive economy that benefits all residents.

Lastly, the
Advancing Resilience guiding principle
emphasizes efforts to reduce vulnerability to natural
hazards already affecting the city today and that are
expected to intensify in future years. Together, these
guiding principles work together as the foundation of this plan to lead the city toward a stronger , healthier, and more beneficial future for all.

CHAPTER ONE | INTRODUCTION

City of Bakersfield

Sustainable
The City manages or influences many of the essential local systems and services that residents rely on every day, including water, sewer, waste, energy use, and transportation. Maintaining and modernizing these systems and services is critical for protecting public health, supporting economic productivity, and ensuring a high quality of life. Through SOAR Bakersfield, the City has identified ways to enhance these systems and services by adopting more sustainable and efficient practices. This includes expanding efforts to conserve water and energy, reduce resource use and waste, and promote cleaner, more convenient mobility options.

Collectively, these efforts can help lower costs, optimize resource use, and improve the reliability and resilience of infrastructure across the city. While reductions in climate pollution ( also known as greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions) and air pollution are key intended outcomes, SOAR Bakersfield approaches these as benefits of a broader commitment to sustainability, rather than the primary goal or sole focus. By investing resources into smarter systems and services, the City can deliver tangible benefits to current re sidents and build a stronger foundation for future generations.

Opportunities
Bakersfield is a city rich with opportunity. Its strong economic foundation, rooted in industries like agriculture and energy production, has long provided well-paying jobs and helped shape the city’s identity. At the same time, Bakersfield is evolving. Its population is growing, its communities continue to maintain their diversity, and its infrastructure and workforce are preparing for new demands. SOAR Bakersfield embraces this evolution by highlighting opportunities to invest in people, strengthen communities, and support a more inclusive and resilient economy.

One key opportunity of this plan is ensuring that local industries remain strong while preparing for future transitions. Trades and skilled labor remain vital, but access to these careers needs to be expanded through dedicated workforce development efforts and job training programs.

SOAR Bakersfield identifies ways to align these needs with sustainability and infrastructure investments, with an added goal of creating jobs in clean energy, green construction, sustainab le transportation, and more. Using susta inable transportation as an example, ongoing projects, such as California High -Speed Rail, offer the potential to improve regional mobility, attract new industries, and spark economic development along key corridors. Similarly, investments in multimodal transportation and community -serving facilities can improve access to services and connect people more efficiently to jobs, education, and healthcare.

CHAPTER ONE | INTRODUCTION

City of Bakersfield
Other key opportunities of this plan include facilitating strategic growth, improving quality of life by investing in public spaces, urban greening, and active transportation infrastructure, and recognizing and leveraging local leaders (e.g., CBOs) to further support community cohesion . Ultimately, SOAR Bakersfield seeks to ensure that the benefits of sustainability and resilience are widely shared and that plan implementation truly reflects the needs and values of the whole community.

Advancing Resilience
Bakersfield already faces a range of natural hazards that threaten its communities. Natural hazards like extreme heat, drought, wildfire smoke, and flooding have resulted in a range of negative impacts on the city’s people, infrastructure, services, and more. The city’s geography, positioned as an inland basin surrounded by mountain ranges, also makes it particularly susceptible to air stagnation and pollutant buildup, contributing to poor air quality and further exacerbating other natural hazards, like ext reme heat. While these hazards exist today, the increasing presence of climate pollution in the atmosphere , which is already intensifying the
greenhouse effect, has the potential to further
increase their frequency, severity, and/or duration.

In response, SOAR Bakersfield seeks to advance community resilience on two fronts : First, the plan seeks to address the evolving nature of natural hazards by providing a framework that prepares the city to better withstand, adapt to, and remain resilient in the face of these hazards. This includes recognizing and planning for ways in wh ich these hazards and the risks they present may worsen or shift over time as a result of climate pollution.

Second, SOAR Bakersfield focuses on the underlying sources of climate and air pollution, which contribute not only to shifting natural hazards, but also local environmental degradation and other impacts. By reducing local emissions of both climate and air pollution through more sustainable energy use, cleaner transportation, reduced waste, and other low-emissions practices, this plan positions resilience not only as a matter of adaptation, but as a proactive approach to strengthening the systems and services that sustain everyday life. Ultimately, this plan will help ensure that Bakersfield is equipped to meet both present and future challenges.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that insulates the Earth and helps regulate its temperature , and without it, Earth would not be habitable. However, because of human activities , excess climate pollution has been released into the atmosphere , causing the greenhouse effect to intensify and warm the planet at an unprecedented rate. In other words, climate pollution acts as a blanket around the Earth, where the more climate pollution there is, the thicker that blanket will be. This intensifying greenhouse effect is the primary driver in the evolving nature of natural hazards such as extreme heat, drought, wildfire, and flooding that are prevalent in and around Bakersfield.

1.2 SOAR BAKERSFIELD OVERVIEW
Plan Scope and Purpose
SOAR Bakersfield reflects a thoughtful, locally grounded approach to addressing climate-related challenges and opportunities. While SOAR Bakersfield is not a policy or regulatory document, i t serves as a clear and actionable long -term roadmap to both: (1) reduce climate and air pollution; and (2) maximize benefits to residents of Bakersfield and nearby communities, especially those in frontline communities. Some of the notable benefits of successfully implementing SOAR Bakersfield are listed below:
● Economic Growth : New jobs and businesses in emerging sectors while strengthening existing ones.
● Cost Savings : Reduced energy and operational costs for homes and businesses.
● Improved Mobility : Better transportation options and infrastructure to connect communities.
● Enhanced Quality of Life : Investments in green spaces, trees, and public amenities.
● Smart Growth : Strategic planning to guide future development. ● Community Collaboration : Partnerships among communities, businesses, and organizations.

The geographic scope of SOAR Bakersfield is the city ’s full jurisdictional boundaries and applies to both the City ’s municipal operations and the broader community. SOAR Bakersfield includes a suite of measures that reflect Bakersfield ’s unique environmental, economic, and social context, and that will be implemented over the next two decades as funding opportunities become available. Many of these measures will also provide regional benefits and may require continued coordination with agencies throughout Kern County. A more detailed discussion of the measures included in this plan can be found in Chapter 3 . Through SOAR Bakersfield, the City is working to ensure Bakersfield remains a vibrant, affordable, and healthy place to live, work, and do business. Ultimately, this plan represents a shared path forward—one that values collaboration and aims to deliver tangible benefits to all residents.

Plan Development Process
The development of SOAR Bakersfield was guided by a collaborative and transparent planning process. Central to this process was providing meaningful opportunities for community and stakeholder engagement and successfully gathering substantive feedback and input. These engagement opportunities are displayed in
Figure 1. 1, and as shown,
these opportunities were incorporated across all phases of plan development, beginning with project kickoff all the way through the

City of Bakersfield
final version of SOAR Bakersfield. Each mode of engagement mentioned in the figure is described further below:
● Project Website : A dedicated project website served as a central hub for information about SOAR Bakersfield throughout its development. Additionally, the website included a digital engagement hub, where visitors could provide project-related input and feedback across various activities, including a map activity, vision boards, and a survey.
● Advisory Group Meetings : The City hosted a series of six advisory group meetings throughout the SOAR Bakersfield development process. The advisory group consisted of local representatives from various governmental, utility, and industry organizations that operate in Bakersfield and throughout Kern County. The meetings brought together stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise to provide insights on supporting the local economy, fostering development and growth, improving services, and creating opportunities for communities and businesses to ensure SOAR Bakersfield is aligned with local needs.
● Focus Group Meetings : The City invited representatives from CBOs to help align SOAR Bakersfield with the needs and
perspectives of the communities they serve in Bakersfield and throughout Kern County . The group met three times throughout the SOAR Bakersfield development process, and consisted of community foundations, community service providers, faith-based organizations, affordable housing providers, and other non -profit organizations. This group provided valuable insights in to the considerations and needs for underserved and frontline
communities.
● Community Workshops : The City hosted three community workshops that were open to all people interested in learning more about SOAR Bakersfield and shaping the future of Bakersfield. The first workshop, held in virtual format, introduced the SOAR Bakersfield project and allowed community members to share their vision and needs for Bakersfield. The second and third workshops, one in-person and one virtual format, offered opportunities for exploration of the ways the City can build resilience, enhance sustainability, and consider the needs of frontline communities.

The variety of engagement modes used throughout the planning process was vital to gathering a broad range of perspectives, opinions, and lived experiences to help shape a plan that was truly reflective of the community
’s priorities. The plan also benefitted from close
coordination between various City departments, regional governmental agencies, regional utility providers, industry groups, CBOs, and other entities throughout the city and the region (see Acknowledgements ) to ensure that it is actionable and aligned with other related and ongoing efforts. Full engagement details can be found in Appendix A.

CHAPTER ONE | INTRODUCTION

City of Bakersfield
City-Led Initiatives
SOAR Bakersfield is closely aligned with many other City initiatives that focus on long -range planning, sustainability, economic development, and quality of life. Most notably, the plan will complement the Bakersfield 2045 General Plan Update (GPU), which is titled
Bakersfield 2045 RISE. The GPU is the City’s comprehensive plan to guide sustainable growth, land use , and infrastructure investments over the coming decades. While SOAR Bakersfield is being developed as a separate, standalone plan that is not tied directly to the GPU, it supports many of the same values and goals as the GPU. Where appropriate, efforts identified in SOAR Bakersfield can help inform implementation actions under the GPU and vice versa , allowing consistency across both planning efforts.

SOAR Bakersfield also builds upon the City’s Transformative Climate Communities Plan (TCC Plan), which secured state funding for targeted investments in frontline communities and was developed with extensive community engagement. The TCC Plan provided valuable insights into community priorities related to air quality, transportation, green spaces, and workforce development, all of which are themes carried forward in SOAR Bakersfield.

In addition to these major planning efforts, SOAR Bakersfield also draws from and/or supports a variety of City -led planning initiatives, including:
● City of Bakersfield Active Transportation Plan
● Central City & Citywide Tree Plan
● City of Bakersfield Economic Development Strategic Plan ● Downtown Bakersfield Corridor Enhancement Master Plan ● Kern River Parkway M anagement Plan
● Priority Neighborhoods Initiative
Each listed plan, among others, provides data, policy direction, and implementation considerations that helped shape the priorities of SOAR Bakersfield, while also offering pathways for cross-departmental coordination and future alignment.

Other Local and Regional Initiatives
Beyond City-led efforts, SOAR Bakersfield is informed by and aligned with numerous local and regional initiatives led by partner agencies and service providers across multiple scales . These organizations play an essential role in shaping the region’s transportation, water, and infrastructure systems, and their work directly supports the goals of reducing climate and air pollution, improving public health, and strengthening community resilience. While s ome key partners (along with some of their notable initiatives) are listed below, it is important to note that many other partners (see
Acknowledgements) and their
efforts also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient Bakersfield.

1.3 CLIMATE POLLUTION REDUCTION GRANTS PROGRAM

Program Overview
SOAR Bakersfield was developed with funding and guidance provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Program (CPRG Program). This program was authorized under Section 60114 of the federal Inflation Reduction Act—signed into law in August 2022—to support local, regional, state, and tribal efforts in reducing climate pollution and other harmful air pollution. The CPRG Program provided nearly $5 billion in planning and implementation grants to help eligible entities design and carry out ambitious, yet achievable plans tailored to local needs and priorities, such as economic development, infrastructure upgrades , and public health improvements. The City received a planning grant under the CPRG Program to develop a series of coordinated planning documents, including the Priority Climate Action Plan ( PCAP), which was submitted in 2024 (discussed further below), along with SOAR Bakersfield, which serves as the City’s Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP). Together, these plans outline a strategic framework for reducing climate pollution and position the City to compete for implementation funding.

Priority Climate Action Plan
The PCAP was the City’s first major deliverable under the CPRG Program. Finalized in March 2024, the PCAP includes: (1) an inventory of citywide climate pollution for 2019, by sector; (2) a discussion of relevant risks to frontline communities, along with the potential benefits of taking action to reduce climate pollution; (3) a set of prioritized, near-term climate pollution reduction measures that the City can pursue and feasibly implement to reduce climate pollution and other co- pollutants; and (4) a stakeholder engagement strategy to facilitate successful measure implementation. The PCAP serves as the foundation that SOAR Bakersfield is built upon. M uch of the core content included in the PCAP has been refined, integrated, and further developed in SOAR Bakersfield to ensure a comprehensive, inclusive, and long -term approach to citywide sustainability and resilience. The PCAP can be found in Appendix B.

Required Elements Included in This Plan
SOAR Bakersfield serves as the synthesis of a comprehensive process that included an array of technical activities initiated in January 2025.

Each of these technical activities , which were required elements in accordance with the CPRG Program, are described further in Table 1.1 below, including where each element can be found within the plan.

CHAPTER 2
Background

2. BACKGROUND
Effectively reducing climate pollution and other co-pollutants begins with a clear understanding of current conditions and the challenges they present (Figure 2.1), along with how those conditions are projected to change in the future. As such, this chapter begins with an overview of climate and air pollution in Section 2.1, which includes Bakersfield’s climate pollution inventories and forecasts, along with Kern County’s regional air pollution inventories and forecasts. This is followed by a discussion of both climate and air pollution impacts in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, respectively. Lastly, Section 2.4 focuses on frontline communities in Bakersfield, which often face higher pollution exposure and greater sensitivity to climate and pollution related risks. By exploring where environmental burdens and social vulnerabilities overlap, this section provides a foundation for prioritizing investments and approaches that promote both environmental and social equity.

For the purposes of SOAR Bakersfield , climate pollution refers to greenhouse gases (GHGs), which are heat-trapping gases that consist mainly of water vapor, carbon dioxide ( CO2), methane ( CH4) and nitrous oxide ( N2O). The presence of climate pollution in the atmosphere is the main driver of global climatic change. Air pollution includes both criteria air pollutants and hazardous air pollutants .

Criteria air pollutants refer to the six common air pollutants that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) regulates under the Clean Air Act . These include particulate matter (coarse and fine) , carbon monoxide, sulfur di oxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), lead, and ozone (EPA 2025a). Criteria air pollutants are harmful to public health and welfare, and the standards are set to be protective of the most sensitive populations. Hazardous air pollutants , on the other hand, are toxic pollutants known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive, neurological, or developmental disorders (EPA 2024a).

Climate and air pollution are distinct in their effects and the risks they pose to public health and the environment . They often stem from many of the same sources and activities , as depicted in the examples shown in Figure 2.1 above, with some exceptions . These sources and activities can generally be grouped into sectors, which are encompassed in the following high-level categories:
● Transportation and Off-road Equipment: This includes emissions from passenger vehicles, trucks, and other on-road and off-road vehicles and equipment, such as those used for landscaping and construction. ● Building Energy: This includes emissions associated with electricity and natural gas use in residential, commercial, and municipal buildings, along with energy used for various services, such as water and wastewater.
● Waste and Water Supply : This includes emissions from landfills, emissions from wastewater treatment processes, and emissions from energy used to deliver and treat imported water.
● Natural Systems and Agriculture : This includes emissions associated with fertilizer and pesticide use for agriculture, along with carbon storage losses from natural and working lands.

Understanding the origin, scale, and distribution of climate and air pollution is critical for effectively reducing emissions. As such, the City has prepared comprehensive inventories for both climate and air pollution in accordance with the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Program (CPRG Program) guidance and requirements. These inventories establish a baseline for local emissions across all applicable sectors, including transportation, building energy, agriculture, off-road equipment, waste, and water supply.

CHAPTER TWO | BACKGROUND

City of Bakersfield
The climate pollution inventory presented in this chapter is specific to Bakersfield and uses 2022 as its baseline year, while the air pollution inventory encompasses the entirety of Kern County and uses 2020 as its baseline year . While the City can only substantially influence sources of climate and air pollution within its own boundaries, regional air pollution can directly affect Bakersfield residents, which is why the air pollution inventory was assessed at the county level. F ull technical details and methodologies used for developing these inventories can be found in
Appendices C and D. Further, climate pollution inventories for all incorporated cities and the unincorporated areas of Kern County w ere prepared in accordance with CPRG Program
requirements. These are included in Appendix E.

Climate Pollution Inventory
Bakersfield’s climate pollut ion inventory provides a snapshot of emissions for the year 2022 and serves as the foundation f or understanding where climate pollution originates and where the City has the greatest opportunity to make meaningful reductions. T he inventory, as shown in Table 2.1 and Figure 2.2 , includes emissions from sectors that the City can substantially influence through local projects, programs, and policies. Out of these sectors, transportation is the largest contributor to climate pollution in Bakersfield, accounting for approxim ately 66 percent of total emissions. Building energy, which includes both natural gas and electricity consumption at homes, businesses, and government facilities, is the second largest contributor with about 18 percent of total emissions . The other four sectors (i.e., waste, off-road equipment, agriculture, and water supply) collectively account for the remaining 15 percent of emissions, with each sector playing a distinct role in the city’s overall climate pollution emissions profile.

Air Pollution Inventory
While the climate pollution inventory focuses on emissions within Bakersfield’s boundaries, the air pollution inventory was assessed at the Kern County level to reflect the regional nature of air pollution. The inventory includes estimates for both criteria air pollutants and hazardous air pollutants emitted from sources relevant to those addressed in the City of Bakersfield climate pollution inventory, for the year 2020.

Figure 2.2 presents criteria and hazardous air pollutant emissions by sector, and as s hown, agriculture, off-road equipment, and transportation are the most significant sectors contributing to this air pollution. However, unlike climate pollution, it is important to understand the scale of individual pollutants emitted from all sources.

Criteria Air Pollutants
Table 2.2 and Figure 2.3 provide an overview of Kern County’s criteria air pollutant emissions for 2020, broken down by individual pollutants.

It should be noted that the criteria air pollutants presented in this table do not exactly match the list of six criteria air pollutants defined earlier.

While carbon monoxide, lead, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide are included, it does not include nitrogen dioxide or ozone directly.

Nitrogen dioxide is considered under a class of pollutants called nitrogen ox ides, or NO
x. A s such, nitrogen dioxide is not included
directly in the air pollution inventory , and is instead captured under nitrogen oxides . Separately, while ozone is classified as a criteria air pollutant by the EPA, it is not directly emitted into the atmosphere. It is a secondary pollutant that is formed through chemical reactions between ozone precursors , like nitrogen oxides a nd volatile organic compounds. Because ozone is not emitted from a specific source, it cannot be inventoried in the same way as other criteria air pollutants ; however, its precursors are included in the inventory.

Table 2.2 encompasses all six o f the criteria air pollutants either directly (i.e., carbon monoxide, lead, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide) or indirectly (i.e., nitrogen dioxide, ozone).

Notes: PM10 = particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers; PM 2.5 = particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers.

Hazardous Air Pollutants
Hazardous air pollutants are a distinct category of air pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects.

According to the California Air Toxics Assessment (CATA), Kern County’s estimated cancer risk from h azardous air pollutant exposure is approximately 721 cases per million people. Diesel particulate matter is the most significant contributor to this risk, accounting for approximately 89 percent of the total. Other hazardous air pollutants that contribute to cancer risk include benzene, formaldehyde, 1 ,3- butadiene, acetaldehyde, arsenic, perchloroethylene, cadmium, p - dichlorobenzene, hexavalent chromium, and nickel (CARB 2022). 2-5
CHAPTER TWO | BACKGROUND

City of Bakersfield
Table 2.3 and Figure 2.3 provide the total annual emissions of the primary hazardous air pollutants identified under CATA, along with their contribution to cancer risk . Figure 2.3 shows the top four pollutants contributing to cancer risk. It is important to note that diesel particulate matter, while not included in this table, is captured under particulate matter in
Table 2.2 above since diesel particulate matter is
a component of fine particulate matter (i.e., PM2.5).

Carbon Storage in Natural and Working Lands
While much of the focus in this section is on emissions that contribute to climate and air pollution, it is also important to consider the role of natural and working lands in removing and storing carbon from the atmosphere. Natural lands refer to undeveloped areas, such as wetlands, grasslands, shrublands , while working lands are actively managed for economic purposes, such as croplands and
orchards/vineyards. Together, when healthy and sustainably managed, these landscapes can act as carbon “sinks,” or systems that absorb more carbon than they emit. Generally, the amount of carbon stored in a given area is known as carbon stock, which when applied to natural and working lands, includes both above -ground biomass (e.g., trees, shrubs, crops) and below -ground components (e.g., roots, soils).

Natural and working lands can be a useful tool to help offset emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate pollution. However, when degraded (e.g., due to drought, wildfire, land conversion , or poor land management), these lands can become carbon sources, releasing stored carbon stock back into the atmosphere and exacerbating climate pollution.

In Bakersfield, natural and working lands, including urban green spaces, contribute meaningfully to local carbon storage. Table 2.4 provides a snapshot of the estimated carbon stock across various land cover types within the city for the year 2022, while
Figure 2. 4 d emonstrates
where these various land cover types are. The carbon stock inventory helps highlight the importance of preserving and enhancing these landscapes as part of SOAR Bakersfield’s goal of meaningfully reducing climate pollution and promoting long-term sustainability and resilience. Full results and technical details of the development of a countywide carbon stocks analysis are available in
Appendix D.

City and Regional Growth
As both the city and Kern County continue to grow, future development, population increases, and economic activity are expected to place greater demands on infrastructure, services, and resources. This projected growth has important implications for both climate and air pollution, which are likely to increase over time if mitigation efforts are not pursued . Understanding the relationship between growth and emissions trends (for both air and climate pollution) is critical for effective planning. These projections underscore the urgent need for meaningful action that reduces emissions and ensures sustainable growth.

Bakersfield and Climate Pollution
At the city level, Bakersfield is projected to experience substantial growth in population and employment, as shown in
Table 2.5.

This projected growth will drive further demand and emissions across most climate pollution sectors , assum ing everything continues “business-as-usual” (BAU). The BAU scenario describes how climate pollution emissions will change in the future assuming no further efforts to reduce emissions are made. However, there are legislative and regulatory actions that are being taken at the regional, state, and federal levels, and these actions are anticipated to reduce climate pollution to some degree. This is known as the “legislative-adjusted” scenario. After accounting for these actions, there is still a projected overall growth in climate pollution emissions within the city. Both scenarios are displayed in Figure 2.5 and Table 2.5 below, where the BAU scenario is indicated by the dashed line and displays total climate pollution emissions, while the legislative- adjusted scenario is shown by the aggregate of the colored wedges that each represent a different emissions sector.

Kern County and Air Pollution
Regionally, Kern County is also expected to see notable growth in population and employment, which is projected to result in growing levels of air pollution if no mitigation actions are taken. Table 2.6 presents these countywide growth projections and the forecasted increase in criteria and hazardous air pollutants. Only the top four hazardous air pollutants contributing to cancer risk are included, and all other pollutant emissions are expected to generally increase at the same rate. Full technical details and methodologies used for developing these forecasts can be found in Appendices C and F. 2-11

2.2 CLIMATE POLLUTION IMPACTS
Climate Stressors and Hazards

Climate pollution directly influences the presence, variability, and severity of climate stressors and climate hazards . Locally, relevant climate stressors include rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns.

Likewise, climate hazards that are relevant to Bakersfield include extreme heat, extreme precipitation and flooding, drought, and wildfire. Historic conditions and future projections for all climate stressors and climate hazards relevant to Bakersfield are summarized in Figure 2.6 below and in Tables 2.7 through 2.10. This data presents and expands upon the data included in Appendix G.

Figure 2.6 Bakersfield Changes in Temperature, Extreme Heat, and Precipitation through Late -Century

Source: CEC 2025a, 2025b ; figure developed by Ascent in 2025. • Climate Stressors : Underlying changes in Earth’s climate system that can affect the occurrence, frequency, intensity, and/or duration of climate hazards.
• Climate Hazards: Acute or chronic physical events or trends that are directly influenced by climate stressors (among other factors) and pose potential threats to human, ecological, or built systems. Generally, climate hazards are not necessarily “new” hazards, but rather existing hazards that are worsened or exacerbated in some way by climate stressors.
• Climate Impacts : Consequences of climate stressors and/or climate hazards on human, ecological, or built systems.

Climate impacts are intrinsically wide -ranging, and they encompass consequences related to public health and safety, energy demand and reliability, emergency r esponse, public health, recreation, agriculture, the economy, the
environment, transportation, and more.
2-13
CHAPTER TWO | BACKGROUND

City of Bakersfield
When it comes to temperature and extreme heat, both are expected to increase significantly through the end of the century. Regarding precipitation and extreme precipitation, there are projected to be minimal fluctuations across all indicators through the end of the century, though the frequency, intensity, and duration of precipitation events could vary greatly on a year -to-year basis. Precipitation patterns in California generally oscillate between extremely dry and wet periods, and in the next several dec ades, dry years are likely to become even drier, while wet years will likely become even wetter with increased frequency ( OPR, CEC, and CNRA 2018 ). This claim is further substantiated by future drought projections within the city, which, by various indicators, is expected to be more of a challenge in future years. Lastly, wildfire risk across the San Joaquin Valley region (and California as a whole) is being worsened by climate change, and as such, will continue to present both direct and indirect challenges in Bakersfield, especially when it comes to wildfire smoke-related issues.

Climate Impacts
Collectively, climate stressors and climate hazards, which are driven by the presence of climate pollution in the atmosphere, can result in an array of adverse climate impacts. A snapshot of the various types of climate impacts, coupled with local climate stressors and climate hazards, are displayed visually in Figure 2.7. Some of the most notable climate impacts are discussed further below , with further details presented in Appendix G.

Impacts on People and Public Health
Climate change will affect all Bakersfield residents in some capacity, but certain population groups are more vulnerable than other s. Rising temperatures and extreme heat can lead to serious heat- related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke, particularly among outdoor workers (e.g., agricultural workers), those without access to air conditioning or cooling centers , and socially or linguistically isolated people and communities , who may not be able to receive timely public health information. Extreme precipitation and flooding pose another public health threat, especially for residents who live in floodplains near the Kern River and in southeastern Bakersfield . Floodwaters may cause direct injury, spread pollutants and hazardous materials, trigger mold and mildew in buildings, and increase the risk of vector -borne diseases from stagnant flood pools. Additionally, Bakersfield already experiences some of the worst air quality in the country (as described further in Section 2.3 ), and this may be worsened with future shifts in drought and wildfire activity, especially when coupled with wildfire smoke.

Impacts on Buildings and Infrastructure
Bakersfield’s built environment, which includes residential and commercial buildings, critical facilities, roads, utilities, and communication networks, is increasingly vulnerable to climate stressors and hazards. Extreme heat can damage paved roads, railways, and bridges, strain cooling systems, and increase the likelihood of power outages , especially during peak demand (e.g., during the summer). These outages pose serious risks to hospitals, emergency services, and those reliant on electricity for cooling and medical equipment needs. Flooding from extreme precipitation events can inundate homes and businesses, disrupt transportation routes (e.g., State Route 99) , damage water and sewer systems, and impair emergency response access. Wildfire risk will continue to be prominent outside of the city’s urban core and throughout the San Joaquin Valley region, threatening energy infrastructure, water delivery systems, and public health (via smoke).
2-14
CHAPTER TWO | BACKGROUND

City of Bakersfield
Impacts on Services and Community Functions
Climate impacts extend to essential community services and functions that are vital to daily life in the city. Energy systems may experience rising demand from extreme heat events, which may result in increased operational costs, service disruptions, and public safety risks. Other vital systems, like wastewater and communication systems, may be strained or disrupted during a flooding event. Access to emergency services, food supplies, healthcare, and cooling centers could be impaired during various types of climate hazard events, disproportionately affecting those already experiencing social or economic hardship. Extreme heat, especially within the urban core of Bakersfield, can degrade community livability in areas lacking trees and shade, and additionally, it can reduce outdoor recreation opportunities.

Impacts on Agriculture and Water Supply
Agriculture in and around Bakersfield is central to the regional economy and is expected to be significantly impacted by increasing temperatures, prolonged drought periods, and more volatile precipitation. Crop yields may decline due to reduced pollination, increased water stress, and extreme heat-related damage. Water demands for irrigation are expected to rise at the same time as the region’s water supplies face growing uncertainty and potential long - term decline, as the city is largely dependent on groun dwater and snowmelt runoff from the surrounding mountains. These challenges could result in higher food prices, decreased agricultural profitability, and more stringent and frequent water restrictions.

Impacts on the Environment
Bakersfield’s natural eco systems, including the Kern River corridor, nearby foothills and rangelands, and various open space areas, face growing pressures from all climate stressors and hazards. These pressures threaten the health and function of local habitats that support native species, help regulate water quality, and contribute to the region’s ecological and recreational value. For example, drought conditions may diminish local stream flows, affecting aquatic and riparian species that rely on consistent water sources. Additionally, the increased risk of wildfire across the region poses both direct and indirect ecological threats, such as degraded air and water quality from smoke, ash, and the release of toxins into nearby rivers and groundwater systems. Further, climate hazards and stressors broadly pose risks to ecological connectivity and biodiversity, especially in areas already constrained by development, agriculture, and transportation infrastructure. Habitat fragmentation reduces the ability of species to migrate in response to changing conditions, limiting their natural resilience. 2-15

An extreme precipitation event is defined as successive days in which the two-day precipitation total exceeds the lowest annual maximum precipitation accumulation from the historical timescale (i.e., 1961 -1990). Like extreme heat thresholds, extreme precipitation thresholds are unique to any location. For Bakersfield, this threshold is 0.5 inches of precipitation over a two-day period.

However, a ctual extreme precipitation intensity can differ dramatically from event to event, as estimated by various return periods (e.g., 5-year event, 20-year event, 100-year event). 2-17

KBDI values increase on dry and warm days and decrease during rainy periods. A KBDI value of 600 or greater indicates the presence of a severe drought and represents a simplified p roxy for the favorability of occurrence and spread of wildfire (but is not itself a predictor of fire).

Source: CEC 2025 d.

Bakersfield, and California as a whole, have a highly variable climate that is susceptible to prolonged periods of drought .

Recent research suggests that extended drought occurrences (i.e., “mega droughts”) could become more common in future decades. It is a hazard that can produce a complex and interconnected web of impacts (e.g., water restrictions, reduced air and water quality, reduced crop yields) that spans many sectors of the local economy.

This scenario is also used for Mid -Century timescale projections, as recommended by the California Adaptation Planning Guide. 3 There are many factors that play into the increasing amounts of area burned by wildfire in addition to climate change, includ ing historic fire suppression regimes and inadequate levels of prescribed burning, among others. However, climate change has led to more favorable conditions for wildfire ignition and spread by contributing to a fire season that starts earlier, runs longer, and features conditions that could result in extreme fire behavior.

Though Bakersfield is primarily urban and suburban with generally dense development, wildfire still poses a risk in the city, both directly and indirectly . There are certain areas within city limits that are characterized as “Moderate” or “High” Fire Hazard Severity Zones , per the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. One of the most significant wildfire impacts that has already been affecting the city is the re sidual smoke and air pollution from nearby fires, which can settle, remain stagn ant, and result in negative human health impacts.

2.3 AIR POLLUTION IMPACTS
Air pollution is not a new issue for Bakersfield , as the city consistently faces some of the worst air quality in the country. According to the American Lung Association’s (ALA’s) State of the Air: 2025 Report , out of over 200 met ropolitan areas across the country, Bakersfield is ranked as having the worst annual partic ulate pollution, the worst 24-hour partic ulate pollution, and third- worst for high ozone days (ALA 2025).

The main factors that influence the city’s historically poor air quality are its geography, coupled with its proximity to major transportation corridors, agricultural operations, industrial activities, and other pollutant sources . The elevation of the mountain ranges, which surround the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley on three sides, are high enough to impede the dispersion of pollutants from the basin and emphasize the effect of inversion layers , or weather conditions where a layer of warmer air traps cooler air (and pollutants) closer to the ground . On days where weather conditions align , pollutant concentrations increase, creating poor air quality. During the winter months, there are higher concentrations of many criteria and hazardous air pollutants, with tule fog (i.e., thick ground fog specific to California’s Central Valley) amplifying these poor air quality conditions. During the summer and fall months, there is a greater build-up of ozone, which persists due to stagnation of this regional air mass (City of Bakersfield 2002).

Air pollution can result in an array of impacts throughout the city. The list below includes a snapshot of some of the most notable impacts of air pollution, broken down by individual criteria air pollutants , along with hazardous air pollutants more broadly:
● Particulate Matter : Because of the small size of particulat es, particularly fine and ultrafine particulate matter , they can lodge deep into people’s lungs, and some may even enter the
bloodstream. Particulate matter has been linked to a variety of health issues, such as premature death for those with heart or lung disease, nonfatal heart attacks, irregular heartbeat, aggravated asthma, decreased lung function, and increased respiratory symptoms. Aside from health issues, particulate matter can also result in the acidification of freshwater bodies (e.g., lakes, streams), the depletion of soil nutrients, adverse effects to biodiversity and ecosystems, damage to agricultural crops, and damage to materials used in buildings and other structures, among others (EPA 2025b). ● Carbon Monoxide : The primary impacts of carbon monoxide are health related. Generally, breathing air with higher concentrations of carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood stream to critical organs, like the heart and the brain. This can cause dizziness, confusion, unconsciousness, or even death, especially in enclosed environments (EPA 2025c). ● Sulfur Dioxide: Short-term exposure to SO 2 can result in respiratory issues and make breathing difficult, especially for people with asthma. Additionally, at high concentrations, SO2 can contribute to acid rain and harm trees and plants by decreasing their growth (EPA 2025d).
● Nitrogen Dioxide: Breathing air with a high concentration of NO2 can irritate airways in the human respiratory system. Such exposures over short periods can aggravate existing respiratory diseases (e.g., asthma), while longer exposures may increase susceptibility to developing respiratory diseases. NO2 can also contribute to acid rain, hazy air, and nutrient pollution (EPA 2025e).
2-21
CHAPTER TWO | BACKGROUND

City of Bakersfield
● Lead: Once ingested into a person’s body, lead can distribute throughout the bloodstream and accumulate in bones. Depending on exposure levels, lead can adversely affect the nervous system, kidney function, immune system, reproductive and developmental systems, cardiovascular system, and the oxygen carrying capacity of blood.

Lead can also result in environmental effects, such as decreased growth and reproduction in plants and animals (EPA 2025f). ● Ozone: Ozone can result in severe respiratory health effects, especially on hot, sunny days when ozone can reach unhealthy levels. Additi onally, ozone can affect sensitive plants by reducing photosynthesis, slowing growth, and increasing its risk of disease, damage from insects, and harm from severe weather. These effects on individual plants can result in changes to habitat quality, water and nutrient cycles, and biodiversity (EPA 2024b).
● Hazardous Air Pollutants : People ex posed to hazardous air pollutants, such as diesel particulate matter, at high concentrations and/or durations may have an increased chance of getting cancer or experiencing other serious health issues, such as damage to the immune system, as well as neurological, reproductive,
developmental, respiratory, and other health problems. In addition to breathing hazardous air pollutants, some of them (e.g., mercury) can deposit onto soils or surface waters, where they are taken up by plants and ingested by animals, which are eventually magnified up through the food chain (EPA 2025g).

Beyond these specific impacts for criteria and hazardous air pollutants, air pollution generally has high economic and social costs. It negatively affects outdoor recreation, work performance and safety (especially for outdoor workers), livability, and can even drive up energy use and costs as more people stay indoors during poor air quality days. As Bakersfield grows, these air pollution challenges are expected to persist if no mitigation efforts are enacted . To help address the impacts of air pollution, S OAR Bakersfield identifies opportunities to reduce air pollutants at their source in
Chapter 3.

2.4 FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES
Climate and air pollution do not affect all communities equally.

Certain communities , often referred to as frontline communities , face disproportionate environmental burdens and social
vulnerabilities that heighten their exposure to pollution -related risks and reduce their capacity to adapt to a changing climate . These communities are shaped by overlapping socioeconomic,
demographic, and environmental factors, and compounded by historical and systemic inequities, such as underinvestment in infrastructure, l imited access to healthcare, and exclusion from decision-making processes. Understanding who and where these communities are is essential for developing and enacting solutions .

The following subsections explore three key dimensions that characterize frontline communities in Bakersfield: (1) population characteristics; (2) pollution burden; and (3) dis proportionate climate impacts.

Population Characteristics
Frontline communities often experience socioeconomic and demographic conditions that increase their sensitivity to climate and air pollution. These conditions can limit access to resources, such as housing, healthcare, and emergency services, making it harder for them to prepare for or recover from pollution -related risks. Some common population characteristics of frontline communities include (but are not limited to):
● Poverty: Households with limited financial resources often lack adaptive capacity in the face of climate and air pollution. ● Linguistic Isolation: Limited English proficiency can hinder access to emergency alerts, health advisories, and public resources , which can be especially detrimental when exposed to climate and air pollution or related impacts.
● Race and Ethnicity: Communities of color are more likely to live in areas with higher pollution exposure and fewer amenities due to historic redlining and land use decisions.
● Age and Disability : Older adults, young children, and individuals with disabilities or pre-existing health conditions are generally more sensitive to climate and air pollution.
● Housing and Mobility: Renters, unhoused individuals, and those without reliable transportation may be especially vulnerable to climate and air pollution impacts.

Figure 2.8 and Figure 2.9 provide a spatial snapshot of two of these population characteristics (i.e., poverty, linguistic isolation) as identified by the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen 4.0) . It is important to reemphasize that while these snapshots provide useful data, frontline communities are shaped by an array of factors beyond what any single dataset can capture.

Figure 2.9 Percent of Limited English -Speaking
Households
Linguistic isolation is a term used by the U.S. Census Bureau for limited English-speaking households. Adults who are not able to speak English well often have trouble talking to the people who provide social services and medical care.

Linguistically isolated households may also not hear or understand important information when there are imminent hazards, such as extreme heat or flooding. In Bakersfield, one fifth of all census tracts have at least 15% of households that speak limited English. These census tracts are concentrated near the downtown area and in Southeast Bakersfield.

Source: OEHHA 2023 .

Figure 2.8 Percent of People Living at Poverty
Income Levels
Poverty in California is defined as a household with an annual income less than 200% of the federal poverty level.

Poverty can be an indicator of a lack of access to resources and substandard living conditions that can exacerbate the impacts of climate and air pollution hazards. In Bakersfield, 41% of residents fall under this level, and are considered to have poverty-level household incomes. Census tracts where poverty is the highest are in and surrounding the downtown area and in Southeast Bakersfield. Nearly half of all census tracts have 50% or more of the population below the
poverty line, and eight census tracts have 75% or more of the population below the poverty line.

Source: OEHHA 2023 .
2-24
CHAPTER TWO | BACKGROUND

City of Bakersfield
Pollution Burden
Heightened pollution burden is another characteristic of frontline communities in Bakersfield. These communities often face greater exposure to climate and air pollution due to many factors, notably their proximity to major transportation corridors, industrial facilities, agricultural operations, and other e missions sources. This cumulative exposure and pollution burden can worsen existing health disparities and compound the risks posed by climate stressors and hazards.

Figure

2.10 and Figure 2.11 help to demonstrate the most pollution burdened communities in Bakersfield as identified by CalEnviroScreen 4.0 , which respectively display both diesel particulate matter exposure percentiles and overall pollution burden by census tract.

Disproportionate Climate Impacts
Climate hazards, like extreme heat, affect all Bakersfield residents, but frontline communities often face the greatest risks due to limited adaptive capacity. Frontline communities often have fewer trees, less green space, and older infrastructure, which can amplify the impacts of climate hazards.

For example,
Figure 2.12 and Figure 2.13, which display heat disparity and tree canopy cover in Bakersfield, demonstrate that extreme heat can generally manifest strongly in areas with lower tree canopy cover. Other climate hazards, like extreme precipitation and flooding, can greatly affect communities that have an older housing stock or that are in historically flood-prone areas, especially if these communities lack the financial resources for flood-proofing or recovery. Addressing the inequities of frontline communities, where environmental and social vulnerabilities intersect, is critical to ensuring that targeted interventions can deliver benefits where they are needed most.

Figure 2.10 Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure -
Statewide Percentile
Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) is a primary air pollutant of concern in Bakersfield. It is considered a hazardous air pollutant, in that it contributes to long -term health impacts and increased risk of cancer. DPM in Bakersfield is largely created from trucks that transport goods along freeways and to industrial and food production facilities .

People along State Routes 99 and 58 see the highest
exposure to DPM, with geographic and atmospheric
conditions exacerbating exposure. A number of census
tracts in Bakersfield have some of the highest DPM
exposure in the state, with seven census tracts being in the 90 th percentile compared to statewide averages.

Source: OEHHA 2023 .

Figure 2.11 Pollution Burden - Statewide Percentile
Pollution Burden refers to the overall exposure of people to various pollutants, including air pollutants, water contamination, household lead, pesticide use, toxic
chemical releases, and hazardous waste. All census tracts in Bakersfield rank among the highest in the State for
exposure to particulate matter and ozone. More than half of census tracts in Bakersfield experience pollution
burdens that are higher than the statewide average, while 11 census tracts are in the 80 th or higher percentile for pollution burden. These census tracts are concentrated
near the downtown area and in Southeast Bakersfield.

Figure 2.12 Heat Disparity
Daytime maximum temperatures of 100 °F or higher are
a regular occurrence in Bakersfield during summer month.

However, these extreme temperatures are experienced
disproportionately across the city due to the built
environment. Areas with lower tree canopy cover and
more dark surfaces, such as parking lots and buildings, can experience temperature up to three degrees higher than
other areas of the city on the same day. This seemingly small difference can significantly impact people, as homes become harder and more expensive to cool, and risks of
heat illness can be exacerbated.

Source: American Forests n.d.

Figure 2.13 Tree Canopy Cover
Urban t rees provide numerous benefits to community
members, including capturing air pollutants and helping to reduce ambient air temperatures. Areas of Bakersfield with higher tree canopy coverage tend to have lower maximum
day-time temperatures. Creating and maintaining a tree
canopy has significant costs for property owners and the City. As such, tree canopy cover can serve as indicator for investment by both public and private entities in specific neighborhoods and areas of the city.

CHAPTER 3
Measures

3. MEASURES
While understanding current conditions, possible
future conditions, and the challenges posed by climate
and air pollution is an important first step, effectively reducing climate and air pollution and promoting long-
term sustainability and resilience ultimately requires
action. This chapter outlines the specific actions the
City and its partners can undertake to advance the
goals of SOAR Bakersfield. These actions, referred to
as measures, are the foundation of successful plan
implementation and represent a mix of projects,
programs, policies, and other efforts that can be
pursued over the next few years and decades.

Section 3.1 provides an overview of the measures that
are presented in this chapter, including the types of
measures that are included, the framework that the
measures are presented under, and the general
structure of the chapter. The remaining sections in the chapter (i.e., Sections 3.2 through 3.8) each represent a distinct category that includes all the measures
developed for SOAR Bakersfield.

3.1 MEASURES OVERVIEW
Measure Types
SOAR Bakersfield is built around a diverse set of
measures, or actionable efforts, that the City and its
partners can implement, support, or explore to advance
the goals of the plan. These measures are the building
blocks of the plan, and range from infrastructure
upgrades and community programs to policy shifts and
other planning initiatives. They are each designed to
deliver meaningful benefits across the city. Importantly, measures are not one-size-fits-all. They vary in scope, readiness, and impacts, and are organized into the three distinct types to reflect these differences:
● Primary Measures : Implementation-ready
measures that emerged as high priority through
extensive community and stakeholder
engagement, technical analysis, and
interdepartmental coordination. These measures
include actionable projects and programs that can
be initiated in the near term (contingent upon
funding availability) and are designed to deliver
direct and measurable benefits for Bakersfield
residents, especially for frontline communities.
● Supportive Measures : Measures that complement
and reinforce the goals of SOAR Bakersfield, but may
require additional planning, development, and/or
coordination to be implemented. Many of these
measures draw from existing local or regional plans
and are intended to help consolidate and connect
relevant efforts under SOAR Bakersfield. While they
may not be immediately actionable, they serve to
guide future investments, project development,
partnerships, and more, ensuring that SOAR
Bakersfield serves as an important resource over time.
3-2
CHAPTER THREE | MEASURES

City of Bakersfield
● Policy Considerations : Although SOAR Bakersfield is not a regulatory or policy-setting document, it identifies a set of policy considerations that can inform future efforts, such as updates to the City’s General Plan. These policy considerations are aligned with the goals of SOAR Bakersfield and help establish a foundation for future policy work related to sustainability, resilience, housing, and transportation, among others.

Additionally, they allow the City to maintain flexibility in the timing and implementation steps of these policy shifts.

Together, these measure types provide a structured, yet adaptable approach to implementation. They recognize that some actions are ready to launch today, while others will evolve and be revisited over time. This approach also ensures that SOAR Bakersfield remains responsive to changing conditions, community needs, and emerging opportunities.

Framework
To help the City and its partners navigate the wide range of measures included in SOAR Bakersfield, they have been organized using a three-tiered organizing framework. This framework, which consists of Categories, Opportunity Areas, and Measures, is designed to clarify the scope of SOAR Bakersfield, along with where action is needed, what types of efforts are included, and how those efforts align with broader goals. It also supports transparency and makes the plan easier to navigate and implement. Each of the three tiers of the framework are described further in the list below:
● Categories: Categories represent the highest level of the organizing framework and reflect broad sectors that shape how Bakersfield functions and where meaningful change can occur as a result of this plan.
● Opportunity Areas: Nested within each category, opportunity areas represent the middle level of the organizing framework and reflect priority topics or key themes where the City, its partners, and the community can take meaningful action in reducing climate and air pollution and ultimately promote long-term sustainability and resilience.
● Measures: The most specific level of the organizing framework, measures are the actionable projects, programs, policies, and other identified efforts that the City can implement, support, or explore further to ultimately enact and make progress towards the goals of SOAR Bakersfield.

Figure 3.1 illustrates this organizing framework, with categories at the top, opportunity areas in the middle, and measures forming the base.

Additionally, Table 3.1 summarizes the seven categories and 19 opportunity areas in which all measures are organized, including the two- or three-letter abbreviations associated with each opportunity area. This framework ensures that each measure is grounded in a broader context and contributes to a cohesive, citywide strategy. 3-3

Chapter Structure
The measures presented in this chapter are organized by category, where each section throughout the remainder of this chapter represents one of the seven categories (i.e., Sections 3.2 through

3.8). Each section contains a brief overview of that category followed by a table that includes all measures developed for that category.

Each table includes the following columns:
● Measure ID: A unique identifier for each meas ure that contains three components. The first component of the identifier represents the opportunity area associated with the measure, which is denoted by a two- or three-letter abbreviation first identified in
Table 3.1. The second component represents the
measure type, which is either denoted with a “P” for primary measures, an “S” for a supportive measure, and a “C” for a policy consideration. The third component is a sequential number . See Figure 3.2 for details on how to read a Measure ID.
● Measure Description: A detailed description of the measure.

Typically, primary measures contain more detail and specifics than supportive measures and policy considerations.
● Measure Source: Indicates where the measure originated, whether it has been sourced and/or modified from an existing plan ; is a continuation or expansion of an existing City program; or whether it is new and has been informed by community input , City department priorities, or developed to further advance resilience and sustainability beyond existing measures.
● Sustainability and Resilience Benefits: Highlights the more specific benefits that each measure would be expected to deliver upon successful implementation. These benefits are detailed further in Chapter 4.
● Direct Frontline Community Benefits: Identifies whether the measure directly supports frontline communities or not .

3.2 ENERGY
Energy is a central component of daily life in Bakersfield. It powers the systems and spaces that residents rely on every day, from keeping homes cool in the summer to effectively running businesses, schools, and public services. Because energy use is so deeply embedded in how the city operates, it also presents one of the most significant areas where improvements can deliver widespread benefits, including lower utility costs, more comfortable living environments, and greater reliability during extreme conditions. As such, this category brings together measures that reflect a citywide effort to improve how energy is used and generated, notably through two identified opportunity areas:

Building Energy Efficiency (BE); and Renewable Energy (RE).

Building energy efficiency focuses on reducing energy waste and improving energy performance throughout the city’s building stock, while renewable energy aims to expand access to clean, continuous, locally generated power. Supporting building energy efficiency and renewable energy through direct installations, education and outreach, policy shifts, and more will deliver lasting benefits throughout the city, especially for frontline commu nities.

Table 3.2
below includes all Energy measures that were developed for this plan , including where the measure was sourced from, and additionally, it identifies relevant sustainability and resilience benefits and whether the measure directly supports benefits for frontline communities.

3.3 TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE
How people move through Bakersfield, and where they live, work , and connect along the way, are reflective of local transportation and land use decisions that have been enacted over decades.

Transportation represents how residents get to work, school, and other destinations, while land use decisions influence where housing, jobs, and services are located and how accessible they are through various transit modes. The movement of freight is also critical to Bakersfield’s economy, but emissions from diesel trucks create additional pollution hazards. In Bakersfield, these are especially important given the city’s size, growth patterns, historic reliance on personal vehicles, and geography as a transportation and logistics center, where smart changes can play a defining role in improving mobility, air quality, affordability, and quality of life.

SOAR Bakersfield approaches transportation and land use as interconnected levers for change. The measures in this category are organized under eight distinct opportunity areas:

Freight and Heavy-
Duty Vehicles (FH); Alternative Fuels for Passenger Vehicles (AF); Agricultural and Off-Road Equipment (AO); Land Use (LU); Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ; Transit
Improvements (TI); High-Speed Rail Station Connections (HSR); and Walkability and Bicycle Networks (WB). At their core, these measures are about giving people safer, cleaner, and more affordable ways of getting where they need to go and ensuring that the places they travel to are vibrant and connected. Table 3.3 below includes all Transportation and Land Use measures that were developed for this plan, including where the measure was sourced from, and additionally, it identifies relevant sustainability and resilience benefits and whether the measure directly supports benefits for frontline communities.

California Inland Por t
In partnership with Kern COG and other local jurisdictions, identify potential sites for and support the development of an intermodal freight facility and increased rail freight capacity to shift freight from trucks to rail. The California Inland Port Project proposes a new intermodal rail spine that would connect the Central Valley to the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, serving as a logistics center for interstate and international movement of goods. With increased capacity on existing railways and the development of an intermodal facility in the Bakersfield/Shafter area, the Inland Port could substantially reduce the number of heavy-duty trucks by shifting the movement of freight to rail. This shift would substantially reduce the number of trucks on I-5, SR 99, and connecting routes, reducing congestion and pollutants from diesel-fueled trucks. Site selection and project design will be carefully evaluated to avoid compounding environmental burdens in frontline communities.

3.4 WATER AND WASTEWATER
While not the most visible piece of critical infrastructure, water and wastewater systems are essential for a well-functioning city. They deliver clean drinking water, support landscaping and agriculture in and around the city, manage stormwater during heavy precipitation events, and treat sewage, among many other uses. Yet , as Bakersfield grows and faces continued risks of drought, the need to continue to modernize and expand these systems is urgent.

In response to this, the measures developed for this category—organized under two opportunity areas: Water Efficiency and Supply (WE); and Wastewater Treatment and Water Distribution (WT)—are focused on making the city’s water and wastewater systems more efficient, resilient, and responsive to community needs. This can be achieved through an array of efforts, including those that support water conservation (e.g., irrigation system upgrades, drought-tolerant landscaping, rainwater harvesting) and infrastructure modernization (e.g., renewable energy and battery storage at wastewater treatment plants, expanded recycled water infrastructure), among others.

Table 3.4 below includes all Water
and Wastewater measures developed for this plan, including where the measure was sourced from, and additionally, it identifies relevant sustainability and resilience benefits and whether the measure directly supports benefits for frontline communities.

• Irrigation System Upgrade: Removing current spray irrigation systems and installing efficient drip irrigation systems; and
• Tree Replacement: Replacing absent or non-viable trees with department- approved species, adhering to established standards.

This comprehensive redesign will not only contribute to creating a sustainable environment through significant water conservation but also improve public and staff safety, enhance aesthetic appeal, and reduce long-term maintenance costs for the city.

High-priority phases of the program include landscaping and irrigation improvements on Old River Road, Buena Vista, S. Allen, Bernard, and Beale, totaling 23 medians where improvements would be made.

3.5 SOLID WASTE
Waste is something that every household and business generates, but how that waste is disposed of has major implications for Bakersfield, especially as it pertains to climate and air pollution. As the city grows and state regulations evolve, Bakersfield has an opportunity to reduce the generation of waste and ultimately transform how waste is managed to create clean and efficient waste management system.

Aligning with this, the measures in this category focus on two opportunity areas: Organic Waste Diversion (OW); and Waste Reduction, Recycling, and Reuse (WR). Together, these opportunity areas reflect a shift towards a circular approach to waste management; one that prioritizes keeping resources in use and out of landfills.

Some of the efforts that are encompassed by the Solid Waste category include upgrading waste infrastructure, expanding curbside organic waste pickup, supporting food recovery efforts to address food insecurity, and promoting community-based strategies that make it easier to repair and reuse items, among others. These efforts are further supported by outreach, education, and incentives that make it easier for residents, businesses, and others to participate.

3.6 NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS
Nature-based solutions are where Bakersfield’s built environment meets its natural potential. While often perceived as and reduced to planting trees and restoring landscapes, nature-based solutions go far beyond that. At a high level, they use natural systems to address real challenges, often many challenges at once. In a city where extreme heat, poor air quality, limited green space, and other challenges collide, nature-based solutions offer a way to holistically address these issues, while also enhancing public spaces and improving environmental health and quality of life.

This category includes a diverse set of measures that span across three opportunity areas:

Kern River (KR); Working Lands (WL); and
Urban Greening (UG). Along the Kern River, measures focus on restoring habitat, improving access, and enhancing recreational and ecological value. On working lands, emphasis is placed on regenerative and resource-efficient practices, like carbon farming.

Last, urban greening efforts bring nature into neighborhoods through expanded tree canopy, vegetative barriers, and green inf rastructure, with a focus on frontline communities. All these efforts are inherently place-based and rely on long-term partnerships, stewardship, and community engagement.

Central City and Citywide Tree Plan Pilot Projects
Seven pilot projects are proposed to catalyze momentum around improving Bakersfield’s tree canopy in the Central City, as part of the 2024 Central City and Citywide Tree Plan. These projects are focused on areas of either high need, high visibility, and strategic connections. Transformative projects give a sense of what is possible to ultimately strengthen Bakersfield’s urban forest. The projects include:
• Streetscapes – P1: Truxtun Avenue, P2: H Street, P3: Green Street Corridor East Segment; and P4: Green Street Corridor West Segment;
• City Parks – P5: Mill Creek Park and Central Park; and P6: New Downtown Plaza; and
• Other Public Spaces – P7: Chester & 19th Greening.

City Tree Program
Develop a program focused on urban tree canopy to assist in sustaining a healthy, attractive, and equitable tree canopy distribution throughout the city. Dedicated staff can oversee the development and implementation of a formal tree maintenance program, supported by a citywide tree inventory and an understanding of the budget necessary to support the urban tree canopy. Key actions to implement include creating an Urban Forest Management Plan, ensuring appropriate staff are available, including at least one certified arborist, and developing and regularly completing citywide tree inventories.

KR-S-2
Kern River Parkway Tree Canopy and Vegetation Restoration The City will plant vegetation to restore tree canopy, vegetative cover, and diversity of plant species in the parks or along the parkway to improve green infrastructure, wildlife habitat, parkway aesthetics, shade, climate resilience, and the recreational experience.

City staff are currently working with habitat restoration experts that are evaluating the natural resources within the parkway and are strategically selecting areas to perform habitat restoration. With limited funding for implementation, the team will be looking for grant opportunities to perform this work.
