ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Ordinances TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Viridiana Gallardo-King, Deputy City Attorney II
DATE: August 19, 2026
SUBJECT: First Reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 15.65 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to the California Fire Code and Chapter 8.60 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to the Certified Unified Program Agency
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends First Reading of the ordinances.

BACKGROUND:

The State has adopted the 2025 Edition of the California Fire Code which is a modified version of the 2022 International Fire Code. This is part of the normal code adoption cycle which occurs every three years.

Fire departments are authorized to locally amend and adopt the California Fire Code, provided the local amendments are no less stringent than the State-wide standards.

Chapter 15.65 removes various sections that are now addressed in the California Fire Code and are therefore duplicative in nature. The proposed code amendments are carryovers from the previous code adoption cycle in 2022 and are minimal and technical in nature.

Chapter 8.60 adds reference to the California Code of Regulations as it also applies to the City’s Certified Unified Program Agency, as well as requirements for additional hazardous materials regulated.

The Fire department has contacted land developers and the Home Builders Association (HBA) about the adoption of the new code and proposed amendments. Staff will meet with HBA and land developers to discuss some of the changes.

A copy of the California Fire Code is on file at the City Clerk’s office for review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Action to approve the Code Amendments will have no impact on the City General Fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Safety and Resilience
ATTACHMENTS:

Code Amendments

ORDINANCE NO. __________
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 15.65 OF THE
BAKERSFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING THE 2025
EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE.

WHEREAS, the 2022 2025 edition of the California Fire Code (CFC) regulates and governs the safeguarding of life and property from fire and explosion hazards arising from the storage, handling and use of hazardous substances, materials and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the occupancy of buildings and premises, provides for the issuance of permits and collection of fees therefor; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield desires to adopt the CFC, 2022 2025 edition, with amendments necessary to meet local conditions; and WHEREAS, the local amendments to the CFC are necessary due to local geologic, climatic and topographical conditions which exist in the City of Bakersfield which include conditions conducive to steep terrain, extremely high temperatures and dry conditions in the summer and extremely poor visibility due to Tule fog conditions in the winter; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield is situated in the southern San Joaquin Valley which is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the east, the Coastal Range on the west, and the Tehachapi Mountains on the south and is subject to periodic seismic activity from earthquake faults associated with those geologic features; and WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield typically exceeds temperatures of 90°F during the summer months of June, July, August, and September and during the winter months typically experiences a high percentage of poor visibility days from zero visibility to 300 feet; and
WHEREAS, the high temperatures, along with dangerously low humidity in the summer, account for the extremely dry conditions related to fire spread and ignitability of fuel and the low visibility in the winter accounts for slower than normal responses and a slower than normal call for additional alarms when needed; and WHEREAS, the Bakersfield Fire Department has a basic engine company staffing level of three and this is considered the minimal response level for a structure response team based on OSHA regulations pertaining to "2-in, 2-out" rules, an additional time restraint may yield increased property damage averages with the end result being a faster fire spread and greater fire intensity in the summer

REDLINE
__________________________________________________
Ordinance 15.65 of BMC.Redline Page 2 of 21
and the potential for the same results for fires in the winter with potential slower response times; and
WHEREAS, if this ordinance is not adopted the City will automatically, by operation of law, be required to abide by the CFC, without the amendments necessary to govern conditions unique to the City of Bakersfield; and
WHEREAS, the failure to adopt such amendments as set forth in the ordinance will cause great hardship in regulating fire protection aspects unique to the City of Bakersfield and thereby threaten the preservation of the public peace, health, and safety; and
WHEREAS, the City Council does expressly find and determine that the changes and modifications to the 2022 2025 CFC are reasonably necessary because of local geologic, climatic, and topographic conditions.

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

1. Re-enacting Chapter 3.12, Sections 3.12.010, 3.12.020, 3.12.030, 3.12.040, and 3.12.050 relating to Claims made Against the City.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends First Reading of the amendments.

2. BMC Section 12.56.050. This amendment clarifies City’s long-standing position that smoking in public parks is prohibited.

3. BMC Section 14.02.010, BMC Section 14.02.020, BMC Section 14.02.030. BMC Section

14.02.035, BMC Section 14.02.040, and BMC Section 14.02.045. These amendments are made pursuant to California Water Code section 10608.14(d) which requires public water systems to revise their ordinances to include Water Code sections 10608.14(a) and (b) prior to January 1, 2027.

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

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

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager
DATE: August 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving the Application for Climate Bond Grant Funds for the Urban Greening Program
Ward 2
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend adoption of the Resolution.

BACKGROUND:

In 2026, the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) announced funding availability through the Urban Greening Grant Program to support projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions while providing multiple environmental and community benefits. Consistent with program requirements, eligible projects must establish or enhance parks and green spaces, expand urban tree canopy, utilize nature-based solutions to improve air and water quality, reduce energy consumption, or create more walkable and bikeable communities.

In July 2026, the City of Bakersfield submitted a concept proposal for the Central City Corridor Tree Canopy Project, requesting $1,750,000 in Urban Greening Grant Program funding. The proposed project represents the second major phase of implementation of the City's 2024 Central City Tree Plan and will enhance two key downtown corridors: Chester Avenue from Brundage Lane to Truxtun Avenue and Truxtun Avenue from Myrtle Street to V Street.

The proposed project includes the planting of approximately 435 climate-ready trees and 3,500 shrubs, perennials, and grasses, installation of approximately 30,000 square feet of bioswales, conversion of turf to drought-tolerant landscaping, smart irrigation improvements, and replacement of failing trees identified by a certified arborist. These improvements are intended to significantly expand the City's urban tree canopy, reduce the urban heat island effect, improve air quality, enhance stormwater management, sequester carbon, and create a more comfortable and walkable downtown environment for residents, employees, and visitors.

The project is located within Bakersfield's Central City, an area identified as both a disadvantaged and severely disadvantaged community with tree canopy coverage of less than one percent and some of the highest environmental and heat burdens in California. By increasing shade along heavily traveled pedestrian, bicycle, and transit corridors, the project will provide meaningful and direct climate resilience benefits while supporting the City's ongoing downtown revitalization efforts and preparing for increased activity associated with the future California High-Speed Rail station.

As part of the application process, the Urban Greening Grant Program requires the governing body to adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of the grant application and designating the City Manager, or designee, to execute all grant-related documents. Adoption of the attached resolution satisfies this program requirement and authorizes the City to continue pursuing funding for the Central City Corridor Tree Canopy Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval authorizes the City to continue pursuing grant funding through the California Natural Resources Agency's Urban Greening Grant Program. If awarded, the grant would fund $1,750,000 of the project's estimated $16 million total cost, with the remaining balance funded through existing City Federal/State Road Funds, Capital Outlay Funds, and PSVS Capital Outlay Funds.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: August 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution designating Certifying Officers for HUD Environmental Review Records pursuant to the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 24 CFR Part 58, an entitlement community such as the City of Bakersfield, that annually executes HUD grant agreements for federal funds assumes responsibility for complying with NEPA laws and regulations. Under NEPA laws and regulations, only the responsible entity’s Certifying Officer has the authority to execute documents concerning federal environmental review, decision-making and environmental action. Additionally, by federal regulation, the Certifying Officer is responsible for ensuring that any conditions, procedures, and requirements resulting from the environmental review process are incorporated into project plans and become implemented.

On August 21, 2021, the City adopted Resolution No. 144-2021, designating the City Manager or his or her designee as the Certifying Officer for all Environmental Review Records requiring publication and submission to HUD for authority to use grant funds. Additionally, the Economic and Community Development Director or the Planning Director were designated to act as Certifying Officers for the Environmental Review records which did not require such publication and submission.

Due to reorganization within the City concerning the Economic and Community Development Department, the Certifying Officer designation must now be revised to reflect current City positions and organizational structure. Therefore, the attached Resolution designates the City Manager or his or her designee as the Certifying Officer for any NEPA document requiring publication and submission to HUD, and the Development Services Director or the Deputy Development Services Director as the Certifying Officers for NEPA documents not requiring publication and submission.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Action to certify new officers has, no fiscal impact.

A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CERTAIN CITY PERSONNEL

AS CERTIFYING OFFICERS AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW RECORDS PURSUANT TO
FEDERAL LAW.

WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield is an entitlement jurisdiction qualified to receive direct formula allocations of federal funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to undertake projects which benefit low-and moderate-income persons; and
WHEREAS, federal law requires that environmental review for all projects undertaken with federal funds comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) prior to obligating funds; and
WHEREAS, HUD designates all environmental review documents, which can vary in complexity from a simple, one-page finding of exemption to a comprehensive, multi-volume Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as the Environmental Review Record in their entirety; and
WHEREAS, federal law and regulations require the City to designate one or more employees as Certifying Officers authorized to sign the Environmental Review Record; and
WHEREAS, it is the City’s intent to have the City Manager or his/her designee be the Certifying Officer for all Environmental Review Records requiring publication and submission to HUD for authority to use grant funds, but to have the Development Services Director or the Deputy Development Services Director be the Certifying Officers for those Environmental Review Records which do not require publication and submission.

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

1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated by reference herein.

2. The City Manager or his/her designee are designated as Certifying Officers authorized to sign all federal Environmental Review Records requiring publication and submission to HUD for authority to use grant funds. - Page 2 of 2 –

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Daniel Maldonado, Assistant Water Director
DATE: August 11, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing City Staff to Submit an Out-of-Agency Service Area Application to Kern LAFCo
Resolution Authorizing City Staff to Submit an Out-of-Agency Service Area Application to Kern LAFCo RECOMMENDATION:

City Staff recommend adoption of the resolution.

BACKGROUND:
i. Matter Background
In 2015, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 88 (“SB 88”). Among other things, SB 88 empowered the State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) to order the consolidation of water systems that consistently fail to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water with a receiving water system that can. In essence, SB 88 empowered the SWRCB to compel functioning water systems to consolidate or integrate failing water systems so the users within the failing water system can access potable water.

The Old River Mutual Water Company (“ORMWC”) and the South Kern Mutual Water Company (“SKMWC”) (collectively, the “Mutuals”) are both located outside of City of Bakersfield’s (“City”) city limits but within City’s sphere of influence. Together, the Mutuals serve approximately 80 individuals. Since approximately 2016, neither of the Mutuals has been able to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water to their users. Neither of the Mutuals possesses the technical, managerial, or financial resources to remedy those circumstances.

On September 27, 2018, the SWRCB issued two (2) mandatory consolidation orders: (1) Consolidation Order No. 03-12-18R-003 (“Order 003”), and (2) Consolidation Order No. 03-12-18R-002 (“Order 002”) (collectively, the “Consolidation Orders”). Order 003 pertained to ORMWC; Order 002 pertained to the South Kern Mutual Water Company (“SKMWC”). The Consolidation Orders required City to undertake the consolidation of both ORMWC and SKMWC into City’s municipal water system (the “Mandatory Consolidation”).

On February 02, 2024, SWRCB issued Compliance Order No. 12-E1-23R-002 (“Compliance Order 002”) and Compliance Order No. 12-E1-23R-003 (“Compliance Order 003”) (collectively, the “Compliance Orders”).

The Compliance Orders appointed Provost and Pritchard Consulting Group (“P&P”) as the Mutuals’ “full scope administrator.” As of this writing, P&P is still the full-scope administrator for the Mutuals. ii. Environmental Compliance is Complete
As of August 23, 2025, this Mandatory Consolidation’s environmental review has concluded. City’s review resulted in its adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration formally titled “Consolidation of South Kern and Old River Mutual Water Companies into the City of Bakersfield Water System, AR 6060 Prop 1 Project” (hereinafter, the “MND”). For the Council’s awareness, Bakersfield’s Planning Commission held a public hearing for this Mandatory Consolidation and approved the MND. The City Council itself considered and approved the MND on July 23, 2025. City Staff transmitted to the State Clearinghouse and County of Kern a “Notice of Determination” (“NOD”) concerning the MND. No parties have challenged that process.
iii. Construction is Planned
City intends to extend drinking water services to the Mutuals’ current service areas in two (2) phases:

Phase 1: Waterline Extension: City will construct the waterline extension required to connect the Mutuals’ current service areas to City’s municipal water system. Beginning at the intersection of McCutchen Road and Old River Road, City will install a ten-inch (10”) water line that will run south to the intersection of Old River Road and Taft Highway. The ten-inch water line will then cross Taft Highway and Kern Delta Water District’s Stine Canal before continuing south along Old River Road. The ten-inch water line will, at the intersection of Old River Road and Beam Street, turn east. At this location, the water line will also transition from a ten-inch eater line to an eight-inch (8”) waterline. From the last referenced intersection, this eight-inch water line shall continue east to the intersection of Beam Street and Pars Street. At the intersection of Beam Street and Pars Street, the water line splits into two (2) lines: one eight-inch line shall run south along Pars Street for approximately 100 feet before terminating in an endof-line blowoff; the other eight-inch line shall run north along Pars Street to the T-intersection of Pars Street and Taft Highway before terminating in an end-of-line blowoff.

Phase 2: Lateral Line Installation: P&P shall engage a contractor to construct the laterals running from the City’s waterline to parcels within the Mutuals’ current service area. iv. SWRCB Awarded City $6,813,373 for Mandatory Consolidation From this matter’s beginning and up to the present, this Mandatory Consolidation has been a SWRCB funded effort. To date, the only City funds expended in this effort have been those that compensate staff for ‘staff time.’ The State of California, pursuant to the Expedited Drinking Water Grant Program (“EDWG Program”) shall reimburse City for those funds it expends during the Mandatory Consolidation.

On January 17, 2026, SWRCB notified City that it had been given preliminary approval and transferred City’s funding request to the EDWG Program.

On June 16, 2026, SWRCB and City entered into EDWG Agreement No D2502028 (the “EDWG Agreement”). The EDWG Agreement awarded $6,813,373 to City for the purpose of effectuating the Mandatory Consolidation. Exhibit B of the EDWG Agreement provides the procedure by which City will coordinate with SWRCB to reimburse its costs.
v. Kern LAFCo Approval is Necessary to Move Forward
The EDWG Agreement prohibits City from beginning any construction until all necessary public agency approvals have been obtained. Because the Mutuals’ service areas lie outside City’s city limits, City coordination with the Kern County Local Agency Formation Commission (“Kern LAFCo”) is required to effectuate the Mandatory Consolidation.

Government Code section 56133 authorizes LAFCo to approve an out-of-agency service agreement provided the subject areas are within City’s sphere of influence and experiencing a threat to the health and safety of the public. As stated above, the Mutuals’ service areas lie outside of City’s city limits but within City’s sphere of influence – and the Mutuals are experiencing a threat to the health and safety of the public due to the persistent lack of potable water. Therefore, any extension of City water services requires the approval of Kern LAFCo. Water Staff have begun coordination with Kern LAFCo and engaged in informal conversations regarding how to navigate this process.

Water Staff have prepared an application requesting Kern LAFCo approve an “Out-of-Agency Boundary Service Agreement” that authorizes City to execute the Mandatory Consolidation described above.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are budgeted within the Municipal Water Fund for this effort. Additionally, project expenditures will be fully reimbursed by SWRCB, therefore, there is no impact to the General Fund with this action.

PROJECT INFORMATION:

1. Type of service to be provided
Bakersfield will enable potable water service to the current service areas of the South Kern Mutual Water Company (“SKMWC”) and the Old River Mutual Water Company (“ORMWC”) (collectively, the “Mutuals”).

2. Reason for out of agency service contract
The State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) has ordered Bakersfield to undertake a mandatory consolidation of the Mutuals’ community water systems.

On September 27, 2018, City received correspondence from the SWRCB transmitting Consolidation Order No. 03-12-18R-002 (hereinafter, the “ORMWC Consolidation Order”). A true and correct copy of the ORMWC Consolidation Order is attached hereto as Attachment “A.” On September 27, 2018, City received correspondence from the SWRCB transmitting Consolidation Order No. 03-12-18R-003 (hereinafter, the

Page 4 of 13 ends

“SKMWC Consolidation Order”). A true and correct copy of the SKMWC Consolidation Order is attached hereto as Attachment “B.” Due to the presence of a health and safety issue more fully described in the attached Mandatory Consolidation Orders (see Attachments “A” & “B”), the SWRCB ordered Bakersfield to undertake the consolidation of the Mutuals. For several years, the Mutuals have been unable to provide drinking water compliant with various regulatory standards. Further, the Mutuals lack the technical, managerial, and financial resources to bring their respective entities into compliance with applicable law.

The Mutuals’ current service areas lie outside City’s city limits. For reasons more fully explained in Sections Four (4) and Five (5) below, City does not wish to undertake annexation of the parcels hosting the Mutuals’ current service areas. In the absence of annexation at this time, and in order to comply with the mandatory consolidation orders, Bakersfield must undertake this process.

3. Project area within agency’s Sphere of Influence
The Project Area, which consists of the Mutuals’ respective service areas, is within City’s Sphere of Influence. Please see Attachments “H” & “I,” containing a large non detailed map of City’s SOI and a small, detailed map showing the relevant boundary line.

4. Explain why annexation is not being considered as an alternative to providing services outside the agency’s jurisdictional boundaries at this time.

City does not currently have the capacity to annex the Project Area in its entirety this year. Annexation requires City to provide several services, including water, sewer, solid waste, police and fire. The Project Area is distant from existing infrastructure, it is not cost effective to build out all of the other City services listed above at this time. The circumstances under which City would consider doing so are explained in City’s response to question 5, below.

5. Is annexation of the project area anticipated in the future? Notwithstanding City’s current reluctance to annex the Project Area, annexation of the Project Area is anticipated to occur in the future. When this may occur is a dependent upon City growth. However, the occurrence of certain circumstances is likely to trigger City’s annexation process. For example, the parcels immediately north and east of the Project Area were recently annexed into the City. In the event those parcels south of the Project Area are annexed, City is likely to seek the annexation of the Project Area. The City will have a better idea after further discussions with land

Page 5 of 13 ends

owners directly to the South. It should be noted that City is expanding southwest and it is highly likely that the Project Area will be annexed into Bakersfield as this development ‘builds out.’

6. If development is proposed on the property, provide a description of the proposed project.

The only “development” anticipated as a result of this mandatory consolidation is the installation of water distribution infrastructure consisting of water mains, water meters, and fire hydrants.

7. Provide a detailed description of how services are to be extended to the property/ies.

The manner and means by which City intends to extend drinking water services to the Mutuals’ current service areas will occur in two (2) phases.

Phase 1: Waterline Extension:

City will construct the waterline extension required to connect the Mutuals’ current service areas to City’s municipal water system.

Beginning at the intersection of McCutchen Road and Old River Road, City will install a ten-inch (10”) water line that will run south to the intersection of Old River Road and Taft Highway. The ten-inch water line will then cross Taft Highway and Kern Delta Water District’s Stine Canal before continuing south along Old River Road. The teninch water line will, at the intersection of Old River Road and Beam Street, turn east. At this location, the water line will also transition from a ten-inch eater line to an eight-inch (8”) waterline. From the last referenced intersection, this eight-inch water line shall continue east to the intersection of Beam Street and Pars Street. At the intersection of Beam Street and Pars Street, the water line splits into two (2) lines:
one eight-inch line shall run south along Pars Street for approximately 100 feet before terminating in an end-of-line blowoff; the other eightinch line shall run north along Pars Street to the T-intersection of Pars Street and Taft Highway before terminating in an end-of-line blowoff.

Phase 2: Lateral Line Installation:

Provost & Pritchard1, which is the administrator for the Mutuals, shall engage a contractor to construct the laterals running from City’s waterline to parcels within the Mutuals’ current service area. 1 Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group

Page 6 of 13 ends

8. How is financing to occur?
Regarding the Project’s construction, and because of the SWRCB mandatory consolidation orders, the State of California shall reimburse the City for those funds it expends during Phase 1 of the Project.

After construction, City anticipates that those persons within the Mutuals’ Service Area will become City Water customers. Those persons or entities within this location will undertake the process to ensure they are connected to City’s water service. That process can be started online, via the following link:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental review of this Project was completed August 23, 2025. City’s review resulted in its adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration formally titled “Consolidation of South Kern and Old River Mutual Water Companies into the City of Bakersfield Water System, AR 6060 Prop 1 Project” (hereafter the “MND”).

Attached hereto as Attachment “C,” please find the Project’s MND. A chronology of City’s adoption process, with relevant documentation, is set forth below.

The MND was prepared by HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. on behalf of Carollo Engineers, Inc.

On April 08, 2025, Bakersfield provided public notice via a “Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Notice of Public Hearing” (hereinafter, the “NOI”). The NOI was posted to City’s website and mailed to property owner with 300-feet of alignment & posting. A true and correct copy of the NOI is attached hereto as Attachment “D.”
As indicated in the attached NOI, from April 09, 2025 to May 09, 2025, the MND was published for public comment. No public comments were received concerning the Project.

On June 05, 2025, and as previously noticed in the NOI, Bakersfield’s Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Project. That body considered and approved the MND; a true and correct copy of the authorizing resolution is attached hereto as Attachment “E.”
On July 23, 2025, after the Planning Commission’s public hearing, the Bakersfield City Council considered and approved the MND. A true and correct copy of the authorizing resolution is attached hereto as Attachment “F.”

Page 7 of 13 ends

On July 24, 2025, Bakersfield City Staff transmitted to the State Clearinghouse a “Notice of Determination” (NOD) concerning the MND; a true and correct copy of the NOD is attached hereto as Attachment “G.” No legal challenges concerning the MND have been received; the time in which that could have occurred lapsed on August 23, 2025.

MAPS
A map of the City’s city limits, its sphere of influence, and where the Project Area is located in relation to both is attached hereto as Attachment “H.” A map of the Mutuals’ respective service areas is attached hereto as Attachment “I.”

References in the applicable law to 'Receiving Water System' or 'Potentially Receiving Water System' refer in this Order to the City of Bakersfield's public water system; and references to 'Subsumed Water System' or 'Potentially Subsumed Water System' to the South Kern Mutual Water Company's (hereinafter "South Kern MWC") public water system. Said authorities are provided in their entirety in Attachment A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
The South Kern MWC is classified as a community water system, as defined in Health and Safety Code section 116275, located in an unincorporated area Kern County approximately one mile southwest of the City of Bakersfield's water system. The South Kern MWC supplies water for domestic purposes to approximately 32 individuals through fifteen service connections. The South Kern MWC operates under Revised Domestic Water Supply Permit (Permit No. 03-12- 15P-021 ), issued on August 25, 2015 by the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water. The South Kern MWC utilizes one groundwater well that was drilled in 1959 to supply water to the distribution system. The South Kern MWC lacks a redundant source and storage capacity.

The City of Bakersfield owns a community water system, which supplies domestic water to approximately 144,000 individuals through approximately 44,500 service connections. The City operates under a Revised Domestic Water Supply Permit (Permit No. 03-12-01 OP-002), issued by the Department of Public Health, the State Board's predecessor in the regulation of public -2-

water systems, on March 9, 2010.
1 The City uses approximately 55 active groundwater wells, treated surface water from Kern County Water Agency's water treatment plant, and treated surface water from the Northwest water treatment plant that is jointly owned by California Water Service and the City of Bakersfield as the sources of domestic water. The operation and maintenance of the City's water system is provided under contract by California Water Service.

In October 2016, the Division issued the South Kern MWC a compliance order for failure to meet the uranium maximum contaminant level (MCL), set forth in CCR, Title 22, Section 64442.

South Kern MWC was directed to comply with the MCL on or before December 31 , 2019. In addition, South Kern MWC was issued another compliance order by the Division in July 2018 for failure to meet the 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) MCL, set forth in CCR, Title 22, Section 64442. This compliance order directed South Kern MWC to comply with the MCL on or before July 6, 2021.

In June 2015, new legislation became effective that allowed the State Water Board to order consolidations of public water systems or state small water systems serving a disadvantaged community that consistently failed to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water. As a prerequisite to ordering consolidation, that legislation required the Water Board to first encourage voluntary consolidation. On November 10, 2015, the State Board sent letters to the South Kern MWC and the City that strongly encouraged them to work out voluntary consolidation of their public water systems.

On multiple occasions subsequently, the State Board was informed by the City that the City was unable to connect South Kern MWC to the City's distribution system.

As more fully discussed in the findings set forth below, the State Board took additional action to encourage a voluntary agreement between the City and South Kern MWC in order to secure an adequate supply of safe drinking water for persons served by the South Kern MWC, including the following:
a) Held a meeting with the City, Lakeside School, Kern County LAFCO, and Kern County Environmental Health on January 27, 2016.
b) Held a meeting with the City, Lakeside School, Kern County LAFCO, and Kern County Environmental Health on December 9, 2016 to discuss the potential regional consolidation of Lakeside School and the two MWCs with the City.
c) Held a meeting with the City on March 28, 2017.
d) Held a noticed public meeting on July 10, 2017 to take public comment and testimony. A copy of the notice for said meeting is attached hereto as Attachment B. e) Held a meeting with the City on August 25, 2017.
f) Held a noticed public hearing on September 7, 2017 to take public comment and testimony.

A copy of said notice is attached hereto as Attachment 8.

Representatives from the South Kern MWC and the City attended each of the public forums with the exception of City representation at the public hearing on September 7, 2017. Despite these efforts, the State Board has been unable to achieve voluntary consolidation of the City and South Kern MWC.

FINDINGS
Consistent with the requirements of Health and Safety Code section 116682(d), the State Board has made the following findings supporting this order of consolidation of the South Kern MWC and the City of Bakersfield:

1. The South Kern MWC has consistently failed to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water.

Discussion:

The South Kern MWC initially exceeded the gross alpha particle activity maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 15 pico curies per liter (pCi/L) in a sample collected on May 7, 201 3 from Well 01 with a concentration of 17. 7 pCi/L. The sample was further analyzed for uranium and detected a uranium concentration of 18 pCi/L. The South Kern MWC was instructed to increase the monitoring for gross alpha and uranium to a quarterly basis in order to determine compliance with the gross alpha and uranium MCLs. The MCL for uranium is 20 pCi/L. Compliance with the gross alpha particle activity and uranium MCLs is based on a running annual average (RAA) of four (4) consecutive quarterly samples. The South Kern MWC has completed four (4) quarters of gross alpha and uranium monitoring. The data for the 2nd quarter of the 2018 shows that the RAA of uranium in Well 01 is 24.3 pCi/L. This level exceeds the uranium MCL of 20 pCi/L. South Kern MWC was issued Compliance Order No. _3_ 12_ 16R_005 on October 3, 2016.

The South Kern MWC also failed the 1,2,3-TCP MCL, which became effective in January 2018.

The MCL for 1,2,3-TCP is 0.000005 mg/L. Compliance with the 1,2,3-TCP MCL is based on a running annual average (RAA) of four (4) consecutive quarterly samples. The data for the 2nd quarter of 2018 shows that the RAA of 1,2,3-TCP in Well 01 is 0.000009 mg/L. South Kern -5-

MWC was issued Compliance Order No. 03_ 12_ 18R_031 on July 6, 2018 for the 1,2,3-TCP MCL violation.

2. All reasonable efforts to negotiate consolidation of South Kern MWC's water system with the City's water system were made by the State Board.

Discussion:

The State Board sent letters, dated November 15, 2016, (Attachment C) to South Kern MWC and the City, strongly encouraging them to work out voluntary consolidation of their water systems. The letters also directed South Kern MWC and the City to complete the negotiations and report the outcome to the State Board no later than six months following the date of the letter. The State Board has received responses from the City (Attachment D) indicating they are unable to work out a voluntary consolidation agreement. No written response has been received by South Kern MWC; however, they have indicated verbally that they are willing to consolidate with the City. A voluntary consolidation agreement between the City and South Kern MWC has not been achieved. The State Board also met with the City on January 27, 2016; December 9, 2016; March 28, 2017 and August 25, 2017, to discuss the consolidation project, but no progress was made. Furthermore, the State Board offered to provide technical assistance to aide in submitting an application to the State Board Division of Financial Assistance for a planning study to develop a water master plan for the City's water system. The City did not submit the planning application.

3. Consolidation of the City's water system and South Kern MWC's water system is appropriate and technically and economically feasible.

Discussion:he South Kern MWC is out of compliance with the uranium MCL and has been directed to achieve compliance by December 31, 2019. The South Kern MWC is also out of -6-

compliance with the 1,2,3-TCP MCL and has been directed to achieve compliance by July 6, 2021 . The South Kern MWC has three options for achieving compliance: drilling a new well, installing treatment, or consolidation. It would be unlikely that a water system would be able to drill a new well in this area and find water meeting all drinking water standards.

Installing, operating, and maintaining water treatment facilities for uranium and 1,2,3-TCP removal is not a preferred alternative for a small disadvantaged community water system with no active Board. There are several costs associated with running treatment facilities including operation, maintenance, and filter replacement costs that would be a significant burden to the small disadvantaged community. Furthermore, the South Kern MWC would be required to contract a treatment plant operator, properly dispose of waste, and comply with additional testing , reporting, and water system administration.

The South Kern MWC is within the sphere of influence of the City of Bakersfield, roughly one mile away from the City's distribution system. Consolidation with the City will provide reliable water service, meeting the drinking water standards for present and future needs of the community. A cost comparison shown in the MWCs Compliance Alternatives Memo in Attachment E shows the initial and long-term costs associated with each alternative, and demonstrates that consolidation is the most cost-effective option.

In addition to South Kern MWC, there Is another small community, Old River MWC, with a single well that violates the uranium MCL. These two small community water systems can be connected to the City as part of a regional consolidation project, which is the most technically and economically feasible solution to solve the drinking water compliance issues found in each water system.

4. There is no pending local agency formation commission process that is likely to resolve the problem in a reasonable amount of time.

Discussion:

The South Kern MWC is located in an unincorporated area of Kern County south of the City of Bakersfield. The South Kern MWC is outside the City limits, but within the City's sphere of influence. The State Board has consulted with the Kern County Local Agency Formation Commission and has confirmed there is no pending Kern County Local Agency Formation Commission process that is likely to resolve the problem in a reasonable amount of time.

5. Concerns regarding water rights and water contracts of the subsumed and receiving water systems have been adequately addressed.

Discussion:

The source of water supply for South Kern MWC's water system and the City's water system is groundwater. The local groundwater basin is unadjudicated; therefore, there are no concerns regarding water rights and water contracts of South Kern MWC's water system and the City's water system. Both the City and the South Kern MWC water systems are within the Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA).

6. Consolidation or extension of service is the most effective and cost-effective means to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water.

Discussion:

As described in Finding No. 3 above, consolidation of South Kern's water system with the City's water system is the most effective and feasible means to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water to South Kern MWC. The infrastructure needed to extend service from the City's -8-

water system to the South Kern's water system is eligible to be constructed with grant monies provided by the State Board. There would not be any capital cost to the City for the construction of the infrastructure.

In the 2013 Inspection Report, the Division acknowledged that the South Kern MWC water system operates with no storage and lacked a redundant source should their single well fail.

Therefore. even if South Kern MWC were to remain a water system the improvements listed in the inspection report would need to be implemented in addition to the installation of a new wells and/or treatment for uranium and 1,2,3~TCP. Further cost analysis can be found in Attachment E.

7. The capacity of the proposed interconnection needed to accomplish the consolidation is limited to serving the current customers of the subsumed water system.

Discussion:

The capacity of the interconnection that will be installed between the City's water system and South Kern MW C's water system to accomplish the consolidation is limited to serving the current customers of the South Kern MWC. Although this will be part of a regional project, the interconnection to Old River MWC will go through the mandatory consolidation process with a separate consolidation order.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING - JULY 10, 2017

PROPOSED CITY OF BAKERSFIELD WATER SUPPLY SERVICE TO

SOUTH KERN MWC
The State Water Resources Control Board invites you to attend a public meeting to comment on the potential for the City of Bakersfield to supply domestic water to South Kem Mutual Water Company (MWC).

Background:

South Kern MWC (Water System) is located in an unincorporated area of Kern County southwest of the City of Bakersfield. The Water System is a community water system that serves domestic water to 15 service connections and approximately 35 people. The Water System utilizes one groundwater well to meet water demands and does not have any storage capacity or redundant sources, to meet water demands in case of well failure or other water quality emergency. Since 2016, the Water System has been in violation of the uranium maximum contaminant level.

With State Water Resources Control Board funding, the nearby Lakeside School has completed plans to construct 4 miles of pipeline to the City of Bakersfield water system. In addition to the School, South Kern MWC and Old River MWC may participate in the proposed interconnection since they are located along the proposed pipeline alignment. The State Water Resources Control Board is considering action which would order the City of Bakersfield to provide a supply of domestic water to South Kern MWC, Old River MWC and Lakeside School water systems.

Public Meeting:

The State Water Resources Control Board will host a public meeting to provide information on the South Kern MWC water system, the proposed action, answer questions, and receive public comments.

Ms. Sherry Settlemoir, President
South Kern Mutual Water Company - Water System No. 1500344 9612 Beam Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93311
Dear Ms. Settlemoir:

Effective June 24, 2015, Senate Bill 88 (Statutes 2015, Chapter 27) added Sections 116680 - 116684 to California Health & Safety Code, addressing consolidation of public water systems.

Our records indicate that the water delivered by South Kern Mutual Water Company (System No. 1500344) public water system (System) contains uranium at levels that have exceeded the maximum contaminant level (MCL) established in state and federal regulations. However, adequate follow-up sampling was not conducted. The last sample collected in September of 2015 showed a uranium level of 21 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) which exceeds the uranium maximum contaminant level of 20 pCi/L. Since the uranium compliance is determined on a running annual average based on quarterly samples, it will take additional monitoring to determine compliance. If the System is deemed to be out of compliance with the uranium MCL, the System will be required to correct the problem.

It is our understanding that the System's service area is outside the boundaries of City of Bakersfield (City) but within the City's sphere of influence. There is a funding project to connect Lakeside School to the City of Bakersfield with a transmission pipe along Old River Road. It is also our understanding that the proposed transmission main to Lakeside School will pass along your water system. In addition to Lakeside School, there is another small public water system along the proposed transmission pipe alignment - Old River Road Mutual Water Company which has been in non-compliance with the uranium MCL since 2009. According to our records, your System and the Old River Mutual Water Company have distribution systems within 100 feet.

The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) strongly encourages the System and the City to work out voluntary consolidation of their public water systems. However, if a voluntary consolidation is not timely achieved, the State Water Board may determine to exercise its authority pursuant to Health & Safety Code section 116682, subdivision (a) to achieve consolidation of System with the City's public water system.

The State Water Board acknowledges that consolidation is a complex process and stands ready to assist you so that you are successful in delivering safe, affordable and accessible drinking water to your community in a cost-effective manner. The State Water Board will provide technical assistance and work with the City and Lakeside School, Old River Water Company and South t 0U1 I St1ll!t'f , $ 1c:1,1111Pntc,. <;A ll".Jlt1 a j M 1I1tng Afhha!i•.

Technical assistance will be available from the State Water Board's Division of Drinking Water (DDW) and Division of Financial Assistance (DFA).

In the near future, we will be contacting all the water systems to set up a meeting. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at (559) 447-3300. For funding related questions, please contact Mr. Joel Greathouse al (559) 447-3300.

Mrs. Sherry Settlemoir, President
South Kern Mutual Water Company - Water System No. 1500344 9609 Beam Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93311
Dear Ms. Settlemoir:

State Water Resources Control Board Notice Regarding Mandatory Consolidation Effective June 24, 2015, Senate Bill 88 (Statutes 2015, Chapter 27) added Sections 116680 - 116684 to California Health & Safety Code, addressing consolidation of public water systems.

Our records indicate that the water delivered by South Kern Mutual Water System (System No. 1500344) public water system (System) contains uranium at levels that exceed the maximum contaminant level established in state and federal regulations. Since October 2016, the System has consistently failed to provide safe drinking water due to the high uranium levels. It is our understanding that the System's service area is outside the boundaries of City of Bakersfield (City) but within the City's sphere of influence. According to our records, the City's system and the System have distribution systems within one mile.

The Division issued a pre-consolidation letter dated November 10, 2015 (enclosed) encouraging the System and the City to work out a voluntary consolidation of their public water systems. In addition a meeting was held on January 27, 2016 with both City and the System representatives to discuss the alternatives.

The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) strongly encourages the System and the City to work out voluntary consolidation of their public water systems. If a voluntary consolidation is not timely achieved, the State Water Board intends to take action pursuant to Health & Safety Code section 116682, subdivision (a) for consolidation of the System with the City's public water system. Please note that as used in the applicable statutory authority, the City is hereby identified as the potentially receiving water system and the South Kern Mutual Water Company Water System is identified as the potentially subsumed water system.

This letter serves as official notification that, pursuant to Health & Safety Code section 116682, subdivision (b) (6), the South Kern Mutual Water System, the potentially subsumed water system, is directed to negotiate consolidation with the City, the potentially receiving water system. The System is further directed to complete such negotiations and report the outcome to the State Water Board Division of Drinking Water - Visalia District Office not later than six (6) months following the date qf this letter.
