I have extensive experience in labor representation, community organizing, and leadership development through my work in multiple unions. As a Shop Steward with UWUA Local 132, I’ve received training in contract enforcement, workplace safety, conflict resolution, and effective communication. My role as Young Workers Committee Chair has given me additional experience in event coordination, public speaking, volunteer management, and youth leadership development. As an Organizing Steward with IBEW Local 1245, I gained hands-on experience in campaign organizing, outreach strategy, and coalition building. I have also participated in civic engagement efforts, including supporting local elections, community programs, and charitable initiatives throughout Bakersfield. These combined experiences have strengthened my ability to collaborate, problem-solve, and advocate for the public skills that translate directly to serving on a city board or commission.

Please explain why you wish to serve on a Board/Commission for the City of Bakersfield 3/3
I wish to serve on a Board/Commission for the City of Bakersfield because my experience in the labor movement has shown me the impact that strong civic engagement can have on working families and our community as a whole. Through my roles as a Shop Steward and Young Workers Committee Chair for UWUA 132, as well as an Organizing Steward with IBEW 1245 and a member of the Executive Board of the Kern, Inyo & Mono Counties Central Labor Council, I’ve spent years advocating for fairness, safety, and opportunity for workers. My public service has also included volunteering in community outreach, supporting local events, and participating in efforts that uplift underserved residents. Serving on a city board or commission is a natural extension of that work. I want to bring a working-class perspective, strong problem- solving skills, and a genuine commitment to helping Bakersfield grow in a way that supports all of its residents.

I am hopeful to bring a variety of specialized training, leadership recognitions, and civic accomplishments that strengthen my ability to contribute meaningfully to the committee.
I am a recipient of the UCLA Chancellor’s Leadership Service Award (2025), one of UCLA’s highest honors for graduating students who demonstrate exceptional commitment to sustained community service and leadership. I was also recognized with the California Secretary of State’s 2022 Ballot Bowl Award, presented by Secretary Dr.
Shirley Weber, for leading Bakersfield College’s top-performing student voter registration initiative as part of the statewide registration competition drive.
As a student my research experience includes co-authoring a published report on Asian American voter engagement as a Civic Engagement Research Fellow with CAUSE, presented at the California State Capitol. Additionally, I contributed policy analysis to the Institute for Security Studies in South Africa, where my evaluation of the SAPS Gender Equity Strategy was cited in internal government reports.
I have completed leadership and professional training, including CliftonStrengths Leadership Certification (Gallup) and over 100 hours of UCLA Academic Advising, Policy, and Student Support Training through UCLA New Students & Transition Programs. I also contributed to the Bakersfield College Educational Master Plan (2023–2028), collaborating with faculty and staff to develop long-term strategic goals for student success and institutional growth.
Previous and present governmental and civic experience. Indicate when, position and duties Before serving as a community youth organizer, where I lead civic engagement and youth service programs across Bakersfield, I worked as a Community Engagement Intern for the City of Irvine, supporting public outreach events, forums, and community meetings.
Internationally, I served as a Human Rights Consultant Intern for the Institute for Security Studies (Cape Town, South Africa). In this role, I analyzed the South African Police Service Gender Equity Strategy (2019–2024), evaluated public-sector policy implementation, and recommended reforms aimed at improving leadership pathways, accountability, and equity within a major governmental institution. This experience gave me firsthand insight into government operations, public safety policy, and community- centered reform.
At UCLA, I served as a Student Representative on the Academic Senate, advocating for international and underrepresented students, and as a Community Representative on the UCLA De Neve Towers Government Council, representing over 1,600 residents and helping secure funding for community initiatives.
I have also worked as a Civic Engagement Research Fellow with CAUSE, contributing data and policy analysis presented to elected officials at the California State Capitol. My roles across civic spaces have focused on public participation, community improvement, and inclusive decision-making.
3/3
Please explain why you wish to serve on a Board/Commission for the City of Bakersfield As of 5 years ago, I called Bakersfield home. This is a place that has given me so much opportunity, and laid the foundation for my goals and dreams, and I wish to play an active role in giving back. My aim is to strengthen our neighborhoods and improve the shared spaces that we all rely on. Keeping Bakersfield Beautiful is essential to bringing all walks of life together through collective grit and pride, and by being able to serve on the board it would allow me to contribute a voice which represents all other voices.
There's a really beautiful saying that I've heard over the years: "a society grows great when its people plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit" and I think this is true when it comes to so many beautification projects, but most especially to Bakersfield. A lot of what I see happening in this wonderful community is through the hard work and dedication of volunteers, business folks, educators, parents, doctors and many more who are fueled by nothing other than principles of passion which is to make everything better and brighter for those around them. Such values that we as a community carry with us must resonate with all, and my goal is to bring in more younger people into the arena of taking care and pride in our environment through environmental stewardship, providing sustainability education and more efforts in all of our wards.
Do you have any interests or associations which might present a conflict of interest? If yes, please explain No, I do not have any interests, affiliations, or employment that would present a conflict of interest with this board.

My professional experience is centered in marketing communications, stakeholder engagement, and project management, with a focus on increasing access to services, building public trust, and elevating community voices. I currently work in integrated marketing and community strategy and also support values aligned organizations through consulting and volunteer leadership.
Previous and present governmental and civic experience. Indicate when, position and duties I am actively engaged in local civic and community organizing, with a focus on increasing public participation in education and local governance. I support community engagement around evidence based decision making, safe and welcoming schools, and transparent public processes. I have helped co found and support locally rooted civic engagement efforts, build coalitions across community groups, and serve in representative roles that connect local voices to broader governance and planning discussions.
Please explain why you wish to serve on a Board/Commission for the City of Bakersfield Strong local governance depends on community participation, transparency, and thoughtful decision making. Serving on a board or commission allows me to contribute constructively and help ensure decisions reflect evidence, equity, and community wellbeing.
Do you have any interests or associations which might present a conflict of interest? If yes, please explain I do not currently hold any position that would present a conflict of interest with service on a Kern County board or commission. I am committed to transparency and would disclose and recuse myself from any matter should a potential conflict arise.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Assessment hearing was held on December 18, 2025, by the City Manager designee and all proposed charges were confirmed. The subject properties listed in Exhibit A (attached) were in violation of Chapter
8.27 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining open and abandoned dilapidated structures which constitute public nuisances and prohibits maintaining hazardous weeds, debris, and waste matter and/or were dete rmined to be in violation of Chapter 15.24 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining dangerous buildings. The property owners were notified and failed to comply with the notices to abate such public nuisance. After a hearing duly notice d and held before the Building Director, the Director issued orders requiring the property owner to abate the public nuisance.
The subject properties are listed in Exhibit A.
The owners of the listed properties failed to commence the required work as orde red by the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed in Exhibit A were abated under the direction of the Code Enforcement Manager. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed against the property as provided for in Chapter

Property owners had been given notice of their right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the City Manager designee and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public nuisance. The City Manager designee has approved the assessments associated with the properties.
The Council will need to confirm the approval of the City Manager designee of the costs inc urred by the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be made a lien against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
On September 23, 2020, the City of Bakersfield entered into Agreement No. 2020-178 with the Housing Authority of the County of Kern (“Housing Authority”), in which the City granted $261,258.93 in Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Program Round 1 (HHAP-1) funding to provide Youth Rental Assistance services, including rapid rehousing and the delivery of permanent supportive housing solutions in the form of security deposits, rent, and utility arrears to homeless transitional age youth (18-24) who have aged out of the foster care system within the City of Bakersfield with a Term set to expire September 30, 2023.

Amended Contract
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 21, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Bids TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: December 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Street Improvements 2023-2024: Intersection of Stine Road and McKee Road
1. Accept bid and approve contract with Griffith Company ($597,975.00) for the above referenced project.
2. Authorizes staff to approve, as necessary, up to $100,000 in City-controlled contingency for unforeseen conditions encountered during construction of project. (Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend acceptance of low bid, approval of contract, and approval of City-controlled contingency.
BACKGROUND:
The work to be performed consists, in general, of street improvements at the intersection of Stine Road and McKee Road. Work shall include earthwork of roadway excavation and berm removal, clearing and removing d ebris from the project area; modifications to traffic signal equipment, relocating existing roadside signs, adjusting manholes; construction of a full pavement section which shall consists of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) over Class II Aggregate Base; installation of HMA dike, pavement striping and markings, roadside signs, vehicle loop detectors, conduit, and traffic rated pull boxes.
This project was reviewed and designed at the highest level of consistency with the City’s Complete Streets Policy.
Item No. 1 This project is funded by Transportation Development Funds (TDF). The Engineer’s Estimate for this project was $823,000.00.
On December 2, 2025, the City received four (4) bids for this project. All four bids were deemed acceptable. Those acceptable bids are as follows:
Griffith Company in the amount of $597,975.00
1128 Carrier Parkway Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93308
Westrock General Engineering in the amount of $674,999.00 7005 Downing Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93308
Nagle Earthworks in the amount of $714,567.79
831 Espee Street
Bakersfield, CA 93301
Bowman Asphalt Inc. in the amount of $793,775.00
3333 Gibson Street
Bakersfield, CA 93308
Staff recommends acceptance of the bids and approval of the construction contract to the low est responsive and responsible bidder, Griffith Company.
Item No. 2 Bakersfield Municipal Code section 3.20.105E authorizes Public Works Contract Amendments to be executed via Change Order, provided that Change Order which exceed $25,000 must be approve d by the City Council. Staff is requesting pre-approval of up to $100,000 for City-controlled contingency for unforeseen conditions encountered during construction of this project, to be executed via Change Order(s). Any costs which exceed the City Council approved contingency, cumulative or otherwise, would require action and approval from the City Council. This City-controlled contingency will save staff time by not having to prepare multiple Council reports for individual routine change orders throughout the project, should they arise. All remaining contingency funds not used will be returned to the fund balance at the end of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project is fully funded through Transportation Development Fund s (TDF); therefore, there is no General Fund impact associated with the award of this project. There are sufficient funds for the award of this contract, contingencies, and construction engineering staff time.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Reliable Infrastructure

Agreement
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 21, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Miscellaneous TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director
DATE: January 7, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorize the Finance Director to write off accounts receivable in various funds totaling $54,185.95 and forward non-bankrupt accounts to a collection agency for additional collection efforts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The staff has exhausted all possible means at its disposal to collect these past due accounts. Generally, individuals cannot be located, or bankruptcies are involved, and further collection efforts would result in excessive cost. Accounts not involving bankruptcy will be forwarded to a collection agency (Collection Bureau of America) for further action. Historically 5-7% of City accounts forwarded to a collection agency are eventually recovered.
Account detail is attached. The amount recommended is made up of the following account categories:
Commercial Sewer Service & Solid Waste (Refuse) $9,820.67 Fire & Fire Safety (Environmental Services) $29,117.00
Other $15,248.28
TOTAL $54,185.95
Total billing for the current year ending 12/31/2025 is roughly $118 million. The recommended write-off is approximately 0.0005% of total billing. The private sector uses 1 -2% as an acceptable write -off benchmark. Bankruptcy proceedings and Judgements make up 6% ($3,188.50) of the write off amount. In the bankruptcy cases, claims have been filed with the court where applicable. Once bankruptcy is filed, the debtor is protected by the court, and we are prohibited by law from further collection efforts.
The collection process for invoiced accounts begins after an invoice is unpaid for 30 days with a computer generated past due notice which continues every 30 days. Additionally, past due letters are sent, and phone contact is initiated at 90 days delinquent. Larger balances are given priority attention.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$54,185.95

Innovative and Efficient City Government

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 21, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Terry, Chief of Police
DATE: December 19, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No.3 to Agreement No. 2023-028 with Citiguard, Inc. (increase compensation $1,284,000; revised not to exceed $4,766,948 and extend term to January 31, 2027) to continue high visibility private security patrols.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this amendment
BACKGROUND:
On September 11, 2019, City Council unanimously voted to pursue the immediate addition of private security patrols to the areas of the city most impacted by increases in crime. The pilot project resulted in a positive impact upon the areas in which the Prevention Patrol Strategy was deployed.
The program, and practice of using private security for providing high visibility patrol functions in are as identified as high crime areas has shown a measurable impact in the reduction of quality-of-life crimes for our community members. It is the intent of the Bakersfield Police Department to continue and expand the use of private security contractors for p atrolling (vehicle, bicycle & foot) identified areas where activities which diminish quality of life of community members occur.
Given the positive impact of the of the pilot project, the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) solicited a Request for Proposals to continue private security patrols throughout the city specifically areas of the city most impacted by increases in crime. On November 8, 2022, which closed on November 22, 2022.
After the interviews were complete, it was determined that Citiguard Inc. could best meet the demands and requirements of the city and the Bakersfield Police Department.
On January 25, 2022, City entered into Agreement No. 2023 -028 with Citiguard, Inc. for a total compensation of $1,100,000 and a term date of January 31, 2024, to provide high visibility private security patrols as directed by the BPD, to areas in the city most impacted by crime.
On January 10, 2024, City amended Agreement No. 2023 -028 increasing total compensation by $1,189,448 for a new not to exceed amount of $2,289,448, and a new term date of January 31, 2025.
On January 8, 2025, City amended agreement No. 2023-028 increasing total compensation by $1,193,500 for a new not to exceed amount of $3,482,948, and a new term date of January 31, 2026.
Since the execution of this agreement Citiguard, Inc. has enhanced crime prevention by providing high - visibility patrol services throughout the City of Bakersfield.
The BPD now desires to continue these services by extending Agreement No. 2023 -028 for a new term date of January 31, 2027, and increasing compensation by $1,284,000, for a total compensation not to exceed $4,766,948 to continue patrol services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The action to approve this amended agreement will provide f unding for this agreement from the Departments PSVS allocations in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Safety and Resilience

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 21, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Report TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer M. Byers, Economic and Community Development Director DATE: January 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Update on Agreement 2021-142 with Union Pacific Railroad Company to Lease Sumner Station (Ward 2).
City Council Member referral to receive a report on Agreement 2021-142
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council review Agreement 2021-142 for consideration and direction with options noted below:
1. Take no action. Lease remains valid unless/until termination, and will automatically renew for another one-year term on June 24, 2026;
2. Direct staff to terminate the lease. City must provide Union Pacific a thirty (30) day notice to terminate;
3. Provide additional/alternative direction.
BACKGROUND:
At the January 7, 2026 City Council meeting, Councilmember Bashirtash made a referral for staff to report on the City’s current lease with Union Pacific for Sumner Station (Agreement 2021-142) for Council evaluation and consideration.
On May 5, 2021, City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate a 12-month lease with Union Pacific and move forward with the necessary improvements/agreements to maintain the property for the negotiated lease period.
On June 16, 2021, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a 12-month lease and appropriate $130,000 for general maintenance of Sumner Station to avoid likely demolition of the building. Staff was also directed to return to Council with updates on negotiations with Union Pacific on private interest in purchase/redevelopment of the property. At the time, staff estimated that it would cost between $5-$8 million to rehabilitate the structure.
Accordingly, Agreement No. 2021-142 was executed June 24, 2021, between the City and Union Pacific Railroad for the City’s lease of the land. The initial term of the lease was for one year, but has automatically renewed each subsequent year (not in accordance with Council’s directive in June 2021) and therefore remains in effect. Although rent is waived, the City is liable for maintenance of the building and must release, indemnify and defend Union Pacific in the event of any losses, damages, injuries, or claims.
Since 2021, approximately $140,000 has been expended by the City with the majority of funding spent to secure the property with some staff time from our real estate division of the City Managers office.
However, various Departments (Police, Fire, ECD, and Code) staff time for time spent responding to the property are not included in the $140,000 estimate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal Impact is contingent upon nature and scope of any future action proposed
