ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: April 29, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 2260 for 2026-2027 CMD Budget for Street and Median Landscaping Assessments.
Preliminarily adopting, confirming, and approving the Development Services Director’s Report for the Consolidated Maintenance District (“CMD” herein) and the 2026-2027 CMD budget and setting the time and place for hearing protests regarding the amount of street and median landscaping assessments to be levied throughout the CMD.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution of intention.
BACKGROUND:
On January 12, 2005, the City Council passed Resolution No. 019-05 adopting the City Council policy on Park Maintenance and Street Landscaping Assessments which enables the City to collect additional revenue for the maintenance of street and median landscaping and park maintenance within the CMD.
Assessment rates for all existing developments prior to that were not increased and the rates remain at the 2004-2005 level. Since January 12, 2005, all new territories added to the CMD that benefit from public parks and/or street landscaping have been assessed and will continue to be assessed, consistent with the requirements of Proposition 218, those amounts set forth in Resolution No. 019-05. Said amounts shall be increased annually by the cost-of-living increase reflected in the Los Angeles – Long Beach – Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index.
This resolution of intention preliminarily approves the Development Services Director’s Report, attached and hereto as Exhibit 1, which includes the benefit formula and proposed 2026-2027 budget for the CMD in its entirety. The benefit formula and proposed budget are attached to the Development Services Director’s Report as Exhibit A and B respectively. The 2026-2027 benefit formula notes that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was calculated to be 3.40%. This percentage is based on the calculated CPI increased from the March 2025 CPI and the March 2026 CPI. The 2026-2027 proposed CMD budget for street and median landscaping is $10,793,656.07. This is a 5.33% increase over the previous year’s budget of $10,247,397.48. Per Resolution No. 63-96, the city shall subsidize 7.33% ($791,174.99) of the street and median landscaping budget. Therefore, the 2026-2027 amount of the street and median landscaping budget to be assessed to property owners is $10,002,481.08.
Each territory currently within the CMD was added by City Council resolution at a prior date. The legal description, map and assessment diagram, benefit formula, and Assessor’s Roll for each territory within the CMD are on file in the City Clerk’s Office with its respective Council resolution.
This resolution of intention sets the protest hearing for the Council meeting on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 5:15 P.M.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The revenue from Maintenance Assessment Districts supports ongoing maintenance in the districts for the year. The General Fund subsidizes the CMD cost due to the amount of fees collected falling short, however this is consistent with the resolution and policy enacted by City Council in prior years.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Reliable Infrastructure

The City of Bakersfield Consolidated Maintenance District consists of all existing territories, separately and specifically described, in part, in the County of Kern Assessors Tax Number of each territory for the various areas of benefit within the Consolidated Maintenance District within the City of Bakersfield, County of Kern, State of California. The amount of assessment to be levied against each parcel within the Consolidated Maintenance District is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
The 2026-2027 Budget for the Consolidated Maintenance District, Exhibit “B” is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, the Development Services Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the areas of the district for the cost of maintaining and operating public parks, public street medians and other public street landscaping improvements. The improvements for the Consolidated Maintenance District Street Landscaping Zone of Benefit generally include, but are not limited to: Public Street Landscaping Improvements consisting of: turf, plant forms, shrubs, ground cover, trees, lighting, irrigation systems, conduits, water mains; and Public Street Median Improvements consisting of: turf, plant forms, shrubs, ground cover, trees, irrigation systems, conduits and water mains. The improvements for the Consolidated Maintenance District Park Zone of Benefit generally include, but are not limited to: turf, plant forms, shrubs, ground cover, trees, irrigation systems, conduits, water mains, playground equipment, picnic tables, drinking fountains, barbecue pits, security lighting and restrooms.
The improvements in this Consolidated Maintenance District are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacements, water, equipment, electricity, care, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof.
For many years, parks, street medians and other street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of local public improvements were substantially reduced.
At present the City's budget does not allow for the cost of all maintenance and operation of local public improvements of the types described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new parks, public street median or other public street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City. The funds generated as the result of this district are utilized strictly for the purpose of and applied to the maintenance and upkeep of public parks, public street median and other public street landscaping within the district. The Consolidated Maintenance District has been specifically designated to address park maintenance and operation, and maintenance of public street median and other public street landscaping improvements and all parcels within the district are affected.
The areas within the boundary of the Consolidated Maintenance District receive benefits from the improvements and maintenance thereof. These benefits include street beautification, open S:\PROJECTS\MAINDIST\2026-2027 MD Info\Folder for City Info\CSMD\Street-Median Landscaping\Exhibit 1 - Director's Report.docx EXHIBIT 1
space enjoyment, recreation and noise reduction due to the installation of street landscaping, walls, and parks.
The benefits from the installation of street landscaping accrue to all the lot or parcel owners within the Consolidated Maintenance District Street Landscaping Zone of Benefit. The benefits of the street landscaping inure to all lots or parcels uniformly, and are based on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis, in accordance with Exhibit “A” attached hereto.
Park use is a benefit most likely to be enjoyed by each resident in the Park Zone of Benefit. These benefits are, therefore, uniformly assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis, in accordance with Exhibit “A” attached hereto. No assessment for park benefits is made on non-residential lots.
Historically, the City has identified the costs of street and median landscaping and park maintenance amenities that are not within the boundaries of the Consolidated Maintenance District and are therefore paid for out of the General Fund. The City then provided a subsidy to parcels within the Consolidated Maintenance District up to the amount of those costs (i.e., as of 1996, a 66% subsidy for park maintenance costs and 7.3% for street and median landscape maintenance costs). After the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, the City has not raised assessment rates within the Consolidated Maintenance District even though maintenance costs have risen. Consequently, the subsidies to parcels within the Consolidated Maintenance District have continued to rise since 1996.
On January 12, 2005, the City Council passed Resolution No. 019-05 adopting Council Policy on Park Maintenance and Street Landscaping Assessments which enables the City to collect additional revenue for the maintenance of street and median landscaping and park maintenance within the Consolidated Maintenance District.
As of January 12, 2005, all new territories added to the Consolidated Maintenance District that benefit from public parks and/or street landscaping shall be assessed, consistent with the requirements of Proposition 218, those amounts set forth in Exhibit “A” of Resolution No. 019-05. As per that Resolution, “Said amounts shall be increased annually by the cost of living increase reflected in the Los Angeles – Riverside – Orange County/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index,” which is currently known as the “Los Angeles – Long Beach – Anaheim/All urban Consumers Consumer Price Index.”
NOW, THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and per direction of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Benefit Formula and Budget for the Consolidated Maintenance District for FY 2026-2027, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” & “B” respectively. The Assessment Roll for the Consolidated Maintenance District for all parcels of property within the various areas of benefit of the Consolidated Maintenance District, subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation of the above described improvements in said territory, is on file in the City Clerk’s Office.

FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: April 29, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 2261 for 2026-2027 CMD Budget for Park Landscaping Assessments.
Preliminarily adopting, confirming, and approving the Development Services Director’s Report for the Consolidated Maintenance District (“CMD” herein) and the 2026-2027 CMD budget and setting the time and place for hearing protests regarding the amount of park landscaping assessments to be levied throughout the CMD.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution of intention.
BACKGROUND:
On January 12, 2005, the City Council passed Resolution No. 019-05 adopting the City Council policy on Park Maintenance and Street Landscaping Assessments which enables the City to collect additional revenue for the maintenance of street and median landscaping and park maintenance within the CMD.
Assessment rates for all existing developments prior to that were not increased and the rates remain at the 2004-2005 level. Since January 12, 2005, all new territories added to the CMD that benefit from public parks and/or street landscaping have been assessed and will continue to be assessed, consistent with the requirements of Proposition 218, those amounts set forth in Resolution No. 019-05. Said amounts shall be increased annually by the cost-of-living increase reflected in the Los Angeles – Long Beach – Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index.
This resolution of intention preliminarily approves the Development Services Director’s Report, attached and hereto as Exhibit 1, which includes the benefit formula and proposed 2026-2027 budget for the CMD in its entirety. The benefit formula and proposed budget are attached to the Development Services Director’s Report as Exhibit A and B respectively. The 2026-2027 benefit formula notes that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was calculated to be 3.40%. This percentage is based on the calculated CPI increased from the March 2025 CPI and the March 2026 CPI. The 2026-2027 proposed CMD budget for park landscaping is $4,665,042.31. This is a 5.33% increase over the previous year’s budget of $4,428,948.12.
Per Resolution No. 63-96, the city shall subsidize 66% ($3,078,927.93) of the park landscaping budget.
Therefore, the 2026-2027 amount of the park landscaping budget to be assessed to property owners is $1,586,114.38.
Each territory currently within the CMD was added by City Council resolution at a prior date. The legal description, map and assessment diagram, benefit formula, and Assessor’s Roll for each territory within the CMD are on file in the City Clerk’s Office with its respective Council resolution.
This resolution of intention sets the protest hearing for the Council meeting on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 5:15 P.M.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The revenue from Maintenance Assessment Districts supports ongoing maintenance in the districts for the year. The General Fund subsidizes the CMD cost due to the amount of fees collected falling short, however this is consistent with the resolution and policy enacted by City Council in prior years.

FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: April 29, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 2262 for 2026-2027 TSMD Budget for Traffic Signal Assessments.
Preliminarily adopting, confirming, and approving the Development Services Director’s Report for twenty-seven (27) Traffic Signal Maintenance District (“TSMD” herein) and the 2026-2027 TSMD budget and setting the time and place for hearing protests regarding the amount of traffic signal assessments to be levied throughout the TSMD.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution of intention.
BACKGROUND:
On September 28, 1994, the City Council passed Resolution No. 161-94 which instituted the collection of maintenance and operating costs for convenience traffic signals through maintenance districts (TSMD). A convenience traffic signal is a traffic signal not required by the traffic authority to regulate traffic flow, but is a traffic signal installed by a developer of a commercial site. Under the user-pay concept, the private property owner deriving benefits bears the costs of maintenance and operation of convenience traffic signals through assessments with the Kern County Tax Collector. Maintenance and operation of these traffic signals is performed by City forces or by private contractor.
Since July 1, 1997, each territory that creates a TSMD has been assessed and will continue to be assessed an amount consistent with the requirements of Proposition 218. Said amounts shall be increased annually by the cost-of-living increase reflected in the Los Angeles – Long Beach – Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index (CPI). For the 2026-2027 budget the CPI increased was calculated to be 3.40%, which is based on calculating the change from the March 2025 CPI and the March 2026 CPI. The current annual cost for each signal system’s maintenance and operation is $4,131.81. This is a 3.40% increase from the previous cost of $3,995.95.
This resolution of intention preliminarily approves the Public Works Director’s Report which includes the 2026-2027 budget for each TSMD attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Each territory comprising a TSMD was individually added by City Council resolution at a prior date. The legal description, map and assessment diagram, benefit formula, and Assessor’s Roll for each TSMD are on file in the City Clerk’s Office with its respective Council resolution.
This resolution of intention sets the protest hearing for the Council meeting on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 5:15 P.M.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The revenue from Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts supports ongoing maintenance in the districts for the year. There is no General fund impact.

Fiscal Year 2026-2027
The City of Bakersfield Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts are specifically described in each of the resolutions establishing the districts and approved by the city council and all are on file in the office of the City Clerk and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, the Development Services Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the districts for the cost of maintaining and operating traffic signals that benefit the various districts. The assessment includes the cost to operate, maintain, repair and replace signal poles, mast arms, signal heads, controller, cabinet, machine vision detection system, street light luminaries, conduits, wires and pull boxes, cost of energy, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof.
Developers often request permission to install traffic signals on major streets to enhance access to their development. These “convenience” traffic signals are not required by the Traffic Authority to regulate traffic flow, but are installed solely at the discretion of the developer of a commercial site. Such signals do not provide a general public traffic benefit.
Under the “user pay” concept, the private property deriving benefits should bear the costs of maintenance and operation of convenience traffic signals. On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution 161-94 instituting the collection of maintenance and operating costs of future convenience traffic signals through maintenance districts.
The traffic signals that are operated and maintained under these maintenance districts benefit the parcels within the various districts. Each parcel is assessed an amount based on formulas set forth in each of the districts’ Exhibit “C” on file with Development Services Land Development.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and per direction of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Benefit Formula and Budget for the Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts for FY 2026-2027, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and “B” respectively. The Assessment Roll for the Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts for all parcels of property within the areas of benefit of the Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts, subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation of the above described improvements in said territory, is on file in the office of Public Works Subdivision.

BENEFIT FORMULA
Each parcel in the Traffic Signal Maintenance District shall be assessed the sum of the amounts as defined below:
Rate:
The rate shall equal the dollar amount shown on the proposition 218 Ballot used in the formation of the Traffic Signal District and approved by City Council at the time of the formation and is included as if incorporated herein. Pursuant to the proposition 218 ballot, “Said amounts shall be increased annually by the cost-of-living increase reflected in the Los Angeles – Riverside – Orange County/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index (CPI),” which is currently known as the “Los Angeles – Long Beach – Anaheim/All urban Consumers Consumer Price Index.” The CPI for the 2026- 2027 fiscal year increased by 3.40%; the measurement was taken from a March 2026 through March 2027 assessment.
FORMULA
TOTAL ASSESSMENT AMOUNT = ((ANNUAL COST OF AN AVERAGE COST OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL X No. of Signals) / % of acreage of parcel in the district) + ANY COUNTY FEES) ** ** Fee will never be greater than allowed per the prop. 218 ballot(s). If the district formed before prop 218, than the fee charged at the time prop. 218 passed will be carried over as the flat rate.
AVERAGE TRAFFIC SIGNAL COST: The public works department will calculate the amount of electricity, maintenance & operation costs
are involved with the average traffic signal in the City of Bakersfield. That amount will be used for this Value. % OF ACREAGE Each parcel within a specific district will be assessed based upon their acreage within their district. E.g. If an owner owns 50% of the acreage in a district, then
they will pay 50% of the cost of any signals included
with the district.
COUNTY FEES: The County Assessors office charges a fee to collect these assessments on the regular property tax bill. For the FY 2026-2027 this fee is $0.20 per parcel billed.
(City Staff Services or Contract, Supplies, Materials and Utilities) Cost per Signal = $4,131.81

Staff recommends adopting the resolutions of intention.
BACKGROUND:
Written requests have been received by the City Engineer from the owners of the above parcels to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by section 13.04.021 of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of parks and/or street landscaping. For an area where a park has been constructed and/or street landscaping has already been installed, the area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned appropriate tier levels during the next annual update to the consolidated maintenance district. For an area where a park and/or street landscaping has not been installed, the area will be assigned appropriate tier levels when improvements are constructed.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owners of the properties listed above which waived the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy subdivision requirements. The owners have also submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating their consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be recorded with the Kern County Assessor‐Recorder's Office upon approval of these Resolutions.
Staff recommends the new territories be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next City Council meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The revenue from Maintenance Assessment Districts partially supports ongoing maintenance in the districts for the year. There is some General Fund support on an annual basis for the short fall in the CMD revenue collected citywide.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Reliable Infrastructure

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 3-123
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 8339 Buena Vista Road 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director, 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.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-308
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 1509 Potomac 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director, 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.

Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 1213 Murdock Street 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-310
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 340 S. Owens Street 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director, 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.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-313
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 346 S. Owens Street 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director, 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.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-316
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 420 S. Brown Street 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director, 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.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-326
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 809 Chester 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director, 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.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 5-143
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 2617 Norman 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 Development Services Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, PHILLIP BURNS, Development Services Director, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation in said area.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager
DATE: May 11, 2026
SUBJECT: Termination of Agreement No. 2025-024 with Psychiatric Wellness Center to provide intensive case management services to justice-impacted, chronically homeless individuals
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends termination of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In October 2024, the City released a Request for Proposalsfor intensive case management services funded through the Proposition 47 Grant Program. The objective of the program was to provide intensive case management services to targeted populations with the goal of reducing the number of justice-impacted individuals who enter the homeless system of care.
On February 26, 2025, the City entered into Agreement No. 2025-024 with Psychiatric Wellness Center in the amount of $858,750 to provide intensive case management services to justice-impacted, chronically homeless individuals. Section 4 of the Agreement provided that either party may terminate this agreement after giving the other party written notice ten days before the termination is effective. On May 6, 2026, Psychiatric Wellness Center notified the City of its intention to terminate the Agreement effective July 13, 2026.
In response, staff have released a new Request for Proposals to identify a replacement provider for intensive case management services for justice-impacted, chronically homeless individuals under the Proposition 47 Grant Program. Staff anticipate returning to Council in June 2026 with a proposed agreement for the remaining grant funds, with the intent of onboarding the selected provider effective July 1, 2026. This timeline is intended to facilitate a period of overlap and warm handoff between providers to support continuity of care, minimize service disruptions, and ensure a smooth transition for clients currently receiving services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The action for this program is funded through the Proposition 47 Grant Program, therefore there is no impact to the City General Fund.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Community Character & Quality of Life

RE: Notice of Contract Termination – Agreement 2025-024 Dear City of Bakersfield:
Please accept this letter as formal notification that Psychiatric Wellness Center will be terminating our contract, effective July 13, 2026.

Our primary priority during this transition is the well-being of our clients. We are fully invested in ensuring that the individuals we serve experience no disruption in their care. To facilitate a seamless "warm hand-off" to the incoming vendor, we are prepared to:
• Complete Comprehensive Transfer Summaries: Ensuring all client files are up-to-date and organized.
