1.4.3.3 Past and Future Development
The City of Bakersfield is a charter city that crafts its own laws related to municipal affairs, including future development. If the City has not regulated, or the issue is not municipal in nature, the City is subject to State law. Future development may be subject to compliance with State of California planning, zoning, subdivision, and architecture laws.
The City of Bakersfield’s General Plan (GP) establishes long-range development policies. The GP is designed to help the City address issues related to land use, circulation (traffic), housing, open space, conservation, noise, and safety. The Land Use portion of the plan helps guide the City in determining the location of future development(s), including possible future annexation. In addition to the GP, the City has other plans that guide development in specific areas, including specific plans, policy plans, and ma ster plans. These plans help to shape future development and dictate the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI). One of the central functions in these planning documents is to decrease risk of impact from natural hazards.
Development since Previous HMP
The City considered its growth since the last HMP and determined it had completed a central mitigation action and substantially decreased its vulnerability to hazards. The City installed new back-up generators for stormwater pumps, they have also implemented a seismic retrofit program of local bridges. This HMP Annex has been revised to reflect this substantial change in past development and continues to focus on avenues to better mitigate impacts from problematic past development. This is especially important as the District does not regulate future development and instead provides services and infrastructure to such development.
Future Development
City of Bakersfield is required to update building codes to meet the minimum standards to those required in the California Building Code last updated in 2019. California Building Codes provide some of the safest construction standards in the world and are meant to reduce risk t o occupants from high wind, seismic activity, landslides, flood, wildfire, and other natural hazards. In addition to California minimum develop standards, all jurisdictions belong to the NFIP, as such, all development must meet minimum flood protection standards set forth by FEMA. See Section 4.3.5 of Volume 1 for more information about past and future development in Kern County.
As the General Plan is updated and incorporates information from this HMP, City of Bakersfield staff are continually improving hazard information through these hazard mitigation plan updates. With this 2020 update, improved online mapping about natural hazards available on RAMP will inform those responsible for future development to make better decisions where and how future development occurs.
City of Bakersfield reviewed its general plans under the capability assessments undertaken for this hazard mitigation plan. See Section 1.5.1. Deficiencies revealed by these reviews are identified as mitigation actions to decrease risks to move beyond past trends.
FEMA/Cal OES Submission 05-19-2021
Kern Multi-Jurisdiction 2020 MJHMP Update
COUNTY OF KERN

The City’s municipal codes includes regulations to mitigate the impact of hazards on new and existing development, including:
▪ Drainage and stormwater retention requirements,
▪ Steep slope restrictions for new development,
▪ Waterbody buffer requirements,
▪ Floodplain management regulations,
▪ Zoning that prevents development in hazardous areas of the community such as floodplains, landslide areas, the wildland-urban interface (WUI), or other known hazard areas, and ▪ Building codes that include the most up-to-date California Fire Code, seismic standards, and many other provisions crafted to protect new construction from hazard events.
The City of Bakersfield’s current General Plan was adopted in 2002, with amendments occurring at various points since that time. Since the adoption of the General Plan and its amendments, there have been significant changes in demographics, existing conditions, land use, and economic and social trends in Bakersfield and the larger region. The beginning of a comprehensive update to the General Plan acknowledges the significant changes of the past and plans for the significant changes that will occur in the future. In addition to changes to the existing set ting, changes in data gathering and modeling capabilities have dramatically improved in the past 20 years, allowing more accurate analysis of future impacts and to better predict potential hazard impacts on the city. The comprehensive update of the General Plan will strengthen the HCP, acting as a policy tool in identifying hazards and assisting the HCP in providing guidance in hazard mitigation into the future.
Even in the event that limited development did occur within a hazard area, the municipal code sh ould ensure impacts from a hazard event are mitigated and losses are minimal. If development does occur in hazard areas, evacuation and emergency planning should take into consideration the anticipated local impacts of the hazard event, including potential interrupted services or the elimination of access.
The anticipated growth in the City will not cause significant change in vulnerability to the City for identified priority hazards.

National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
The NFIP makes federally backed flood insurance available to homeowners, renters, and business owners in participating communities. FEMA has prepared a detailed Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Kern County and municipalities. The study presents water surface elevations for floods of va rious magnitudes, including the 1-percent annual chance flood and the 0.2-percent annual chance flood (the 500-YR flood).
Base flood elevations and the boundaries of the 100- and 500-YR floodplains are shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), which are the principle tool for identifying the extent and location of the flood hazard.
FIRMs are the most detailed and consistent data source available, and for many communities they represent the minimum area of oversight under their floodplain management progra m. See Section 4 of Volume 1 for general information on the NFIP.
The City of Bakersfield has participated in the NFIP since 1985. The City of Bakersfield is currently in good standing with the provisions of the NFIP. Compliance is monitored by FEMA regional staff and by the California Department of Wa ter Resources under a contract with FEMA. Maintaining compliance under the NFIP is an important component of flood risk reduction. See Table 1-6 for more information on the City’s policies and historic flood insurance claims.

1.4.4 Identify Hazard Problem Statements
As part of the mitigation action identification process, the Planning Committee for each jurisdiction identified areas of concern (aka problem statements) for their respective facilities based on the risk assessment and vulnerability analysis, utilizing the RAMP mapping and static snapshot maps . Problem statements focused on the impact, victim, or threat that the hazard could create in the jurisdiction, as described in Figure 1-11. Identifying common issues and weaknesses through these problem statements assisted the Planning Committee in understanding the realm of resources needed for mitigation.
Jurisdiction problem statements are listed in Table 1-7.
The goal is to have at least one mitigation action for every problem statement. Projects or actions have been developed to mitigate each problem identified. See Table 1-12 for a full list of mitigation actions and corresponding problem statements that they address. Each problem statement is coded with a problem number for cross-referencing between Table 1-7 and Table 1-12.

1.4.4.1 Mitigation Action Support Tool (MAST)
As a living document, hazard problem statements and mitigation activities will be updated through a web interface application developed specifically for participating jurisdictions. The Mitigation Action Support Tool (MAST) is accessible through http://mitigatehazards.com/county-of-kern/.
MAST is a web -based interactive tool that enables multiple users to search, view, enter, and update mitigation actions, ideas or projects, and other information. MAST provides participating jurisdictions and plan reviewers (Cal OES/FEMA) access to valuable mitigation information that can be leveraged by future planning or other risk reduction efforts within the County. Participating jurisdictions can update the status of their mitigation projects throughout the planning lifecycle, and this web -based tool will improve participating jurisdiction’s ability to apply for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs including initial grant application processes through Cal OES.

1.5 Mitigation Strategy
The mitigation strategy is the guidebook to future hazard mitigation administration, capturing the key outcomes of the MJHMP planning process. The mitigation strategy is intended to reduce vulnerabilities outlined in the previous section (a.k.a. problem statements) with a prescription of policies and physical projects. These mitigation actions should be compatible with existing planning mechanisms and should outline specific roles and resources for implementation success.
1.5.1 Capabilities Assessment
This section examines the planning and regulatory, administrative, technical, financial, educational, and outreach capabilities to augment known issues and weaknesses from identified natural hazards.
The tables in this section explore various local planning mechanisms, administrative capacity, financial capabilities, and education and outreach initiatives. The columns in each table represent deeper dives into the following questions:
▪ Is the existing planning or regulatory mechanism used currently? (Column 1, Status) ▪ Has the HMP been integrated into the planning mechanism currently so that the named mechanism is currently used in HMP planning? (Column 2, Current Mitigation Use) ▪ Is there a future opportunity to expand, improve upon, and incorporate this 2020 HMP Update into the planning or regulatory mechanism? (Column 3, Future Opportunity) The capabilities assessment is easily-digestible and based on color coding to indicate which policies and plans are adequate, need impr ovement or in which the HMP could be integrated. Each table includes a legend that explain how each one of these questions are being answered according to the color indicated:
green, yellow, and orange.
For more information on the regulatory environment su rrounding each hazard, see hazard -specific sections of Volume 1. Volume 1, Section 5.3.5 includes an extensive list of federal and state funding opportunities as well.

1.5.2 Mitigation Actions
Mitigation actions were developed based upon the
jurisdiction’s priorities, risk assessment results, and mitigation alternatives. The mitigation action
prioritization method used by all participating
jurisdictions is described in Section 5.5.1 of Volume 1.
Table 1-12 lists each priority mitigation action,
responsible party, time frame, potential funding source, implementation steps, and resources need to
implement based upon the Planning Co mmittee
consensus.
Each participating jurisdiction , including the City of Bakersfield, considered ongoing relevancy of
mitigation actions from the existing MJHMP and
retained or removed such actions while adding new
relevant actions as well. Mitigation actions were
examined for relevancy and the potential for future
implementation and then evaluated for potential
follow-up. Some mitigation actions developed during
the previous HMP effort were not included because
they were an inherent part of the HMP update process
or were not d etailed enough for implementation at a
local Jurisdiction level. the City of Bakersfield has
made significant changes to other mitigation actions
because of the updated risk assessment and
implementation strategy, to include more detail, or to
update based on current mitigation practices. Volume 1, Section 5.5.2 provides a record of County wide mitigation actions, the status, and additional notes for each action.
Table 1-12 lists each mitigation action for the City of Bakersfield. Each participating jurisdiction developed unique mitigation actions, targeted at their own unique priorities and vulnerabilities . Each mitigation action identifies the responsible party, time frame, potential funding source, implementation steps and resources needed to implement these priority mitigation actions. As a living document, hazard problem statements and mitigation activities will be updated through MAST. The detail in Table 1-12 meets the regulatory requirements of FEMA and DMA 2000.

SUBJECT: Hearing to consider adoption of City’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP)
RECOMMENDATION: For Board Review
BACKGROUND: A public hearing is required to adopt the City’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP).
The 2025 UWMP was prepared in accordance with the California Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) which was established in 1983. The Act requires every “Urban Water Supplier” to prepare and adopt an UWMP, to periodically review its UWMP at least once every five years, and make any amendments or changes which are indicated by the review. An “Urban Water Supplier” is defined as a supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually. The primary objective of the Act is to direct Urban Water Suppliers to prepare a Plan that describes and evaluates sources of supply, reasonable and practical efficient uses, reclamation, and demand management activities. In 2020, “Urban Water Suppliers” were required to adopt a separate WSCP that may be updated independently of the UWMP. City staff elected to update the WSCP concurrently, and is included as an attachment with the UWMP.
This 2025 UWMP combines both the retail (Municipal Water System) and wholesale (Wholesale Water System) activities of the City and is an update to the previously prepared and adopted 2020 Plan. This 2025 UWMP follows California Department of Water Resources’ (DWR’s) “2025 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook” (Guidebook) dated January 2026.
The City has coordinated the preparation of this UWMP with the appropriate agencies, including other local water purveyors and agencies that receive water from the City. A notification letter was sent to these agencies at least 60 days prior to this public hearing. The UWMP was also posted on the City’s website and was made available for review at the City’s Water Resources office. A public notification of the hearing was published in the newspaper on August 5 th and August 12th. To date, the City has not received any comments.
City Staff recommends the Water Board approve and recommend the plan for formal adoption at the September 16th City Council meeting. If adopted by Council, the plan will be submitted to the DWR and the California State Library within 30 days after adoption.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: August 12, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the application for a Transformative Climate Communities Planning Grant in the amount of $300,000
for the Prosperity Neighborhoods Initiative (Wards 2 and 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approving the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) program is a focused neighborhood effort to revitalize disadvantaged communities. A disadvantaged community is an area with a high CalEnviroScreen percentile, which indicates that a community is disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution, environmental degradation, socioeconomic stressors, and adverse health conditions, or an area with a median household income of less than 80% of the area average or less than 80% of statewide median household income.
In its proposed application for the next funding round due September 30, 2026, the City’s focus area is the Niles/Monterey Prosperity Neighborhood and surrounding historic neighborhoods including Downtown and Old Town Kern. The City’s goals for TCC funding are to continue revitalization efforts in Bakersfield’s historic neighborhoods and facilitate transformational projects that support livable, sustainable, and thriving communities. The TCC Planning Grant funding will support the implementation of existing community plans and visions including the Prosperity Neighborhoods Implementation Plan, the Old Town Kern Vision Plan and the Making Downtown Bakersfield Vision Plan.
To support a future TCC Implementation Grant application, if awarded, the TCC Planning Grant will help the City complete the necessary requirements, including but not limited to:
Preparing transformative element plans including displacement avoidance and workforce development plans.
Conducting inclusive community engagement that incorporates input from neighborhood residents and supports and prepares for the future development of innovative and meaningful programs and practices. The community outreach will also prioritize projects aligning with TCC strategies and objectives that reduce GHG emissions and achieve public health, environmental, and economic benefits.
Preparing development opportunities and community needs assessment to help in partnership development, informing the community about TCC eligible projects and identifying and preparing project sites for future community-serving uses, including site identification and planning/design/engineering work needed for project implementation. Development or formalization of a shared governance structure (e.g., a Collaborative Governance Structure).
Staff recommends approving the resolution to align local community visions and needs with the opportunity TCC brings to fund community projects and programs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The grant application does not require matching funds and if approved, would not have a fiscal impact on the General Fund.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Economic Opportunity for All

SUBJECT: Resolution to Dispense with bidding with RADeCo, Inc.
for the Purchase of Specialized Equipment and Sensors to Detect Narcotics and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Related Threats (not to exceed $404,000)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution dispensing with formal bidding procedures and approval of the agreement with RADeCO, Inc.
BACKGROUND: The County of Kern is the recipient of an allocation from the State of California under Section 19.563(f)(31) of California Assembly Bill 102 – Budget Act of 2023 to fund Fentanyl Task Force efforts. The County and the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) are working collaboratively to combat fentanyl and other narcotics-related threats within city limits.
On July 15, 2026, the City entered into Agreement No. 2026-122 with the County of Kern to accept funding in the amount of $404,000 for the acquisition of equipment to assist law enforcement with fentanyl and xylazine detection, interdiction, and enforcement capabilities, also referred to as a robotic canine unit (SPOT unit).
BPD is requesting approval of an agreement with RADeCO, Inc. to acquire the SPOT unit and related equipment in an amount not to exceed $404,000. The equipment includes specialized sensors and detection capabilities to assist with fentanyl and narcotics-related threats, as well as Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) threats. The agreement will terminate on January 1, 2027.
RADeCO, Inc. is the sole provider for the proposed purchase. Therefore, BPD is also requesting that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with formal bidding procedures in accordance with Section 3.20.060(D)(2) of the Bakersfield Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for the purchase will be reimbursed by the County of Kern pursuant to Agreement No. 2026-122, thus will not be a net cost to the General Fund.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Safety and Resilience

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bakersfield (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system.
Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.

Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below.

Subject: Sole Source Affidavit
RADeCO, Inc is a certified technical partner, reseller and trainer of Boston Dynamics. RADeCO is the exclusive distributor for Boston Dynamics in the public safety market. We were one of the first adopters of the SPOT robot before it was commercially available. We have been in business for over 70 years.
RADeCO offers a unique public safety kit that differs from others. Being a technical partner of Boston Dynamics we increase the value of the payloads on the robot. RADeCO public Safety kit is called CERBERUS. This includes the SPOT Robot, Disruptor kits, CBRN detection Package, X- Ray kits, unique radio package and mounts.
The CERBERUS kit utilizes proprietary mounts, H-Pole Antennas, marston plates, bot locks, quick release locks for the desired payloads. The specialized mounts give the operator better operating range of the robot. The mounts mount the radios on the back of the robot giving it further range as you can turn up the wattage on the radio. The mounting system does not give off any RF interference with the robot. The CERBERUS public safety kit gives you operating distance of 1500 Kilometers of range beyond line of sight. The radio configuration along with the specialized H-Pole Antenna is RADeCO’s design for SWAT, EOD and CBRN operations. Radio communications are the most important part of using robots and being a technical partner with Boston Dynamics allows us to make our own specialized kits.
RADeCO is also the only company that provides the CBRN kit that includes the APEX detector that you are looking to purchase. RADeCO was awarded a SIBIR contract from DHS to develop a CBRN package on the SPOT robot. We have over 50 different sensor payloads built into our software package called Blackstone and is the only certified technical partner offering this type of kit on a SPOT robot.
RADeCO is also the only certified reseller for Boston Dynamics that is allowed to provide the disruptor Kits. We are also a certified distributor for the disruptor kits.
We are also MAC certified through Persistent Systems MPU5 radios that operate the robot. We also are a certified resell of the radios.
RADeCO purchases the robot from Boston Dynamics and upfits the robot with the Disruptor Kits, CBRN kit, and radio packages which are proprietary to RADeCO. The CERBERUS package is very different than the off the shelf robot package. It is unique from RADeCO.
RADeCO also offers a free chat forum for our customers. The forum is made up of all the departments we have supplied SPOT robots too. The Forum is a great tool for your operators to share tricks, 3D printed drawings, and learn from other departments that have been using the SPOT robot in operations for years. This is also only offered by RADeCO.
RADeCO also is a certified trainer for SPOT robots. We offer 1-2 days of training to go over everything you need to know about operating SPOT. We also go over the maintenance and upkeep of the robot. We also offer 24 hours of customer service via phone to go along with the forum.
The CERBERUS public safety package is only offered by RADeCO. Upon request we may reach out to some of our past customers for references. If you have any questions please let me know.

8. Resolution adding Area 5-146 (2006 Planz Road): Street Tier =1; Park Tier = 1 – Ward 1 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On August 26, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolutions of Intention No. 2276, 2277, 2278, 2279, 2280, 2281, 2282, and 2283 to add Areas 4-333, 5-145, 3-126, 4-323, 4-325, 4-330, 4-331, and 5-146 to the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by Section 13.04.021 of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of parks and/or street landscaping.
The addition of these areas to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.
The City of Bakersfield has received letters from the owners of the properties listed above which waives the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy subdivision requirements. The owners also have submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating consent to the assessment.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be recorded with the Kern County Assessor-Recorder’s Office upon approval of these resolutions.
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 city wide.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Reliable Infrastructure

A RESOLUTION ADDING TERRITORY, AREA 4-333 (530 4TH
STREET) TO THE CONSOLIDATED MAINTENANCE DISTRICT;
APPROVING, CONFIRMING AND ADOPTING THE
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR’S REPORT, THE
BOUNDARIES OF THE ADDITION, THE FAIRNESS OF THE BENEFIT
FORMULA, AND THE AMOUNT OF THE ASSESSMENT TO BE
LEVIED AGAINST EACH PARCEL. (WARD 2)
WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has filed with the City Clerk the Development Services Director’s Report, including a budget, assessment formula, improvements to be maintained by the district, description of property and proposed assessments; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield provides for a procedure by which the City Council may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating any public improvements which are local in nature, from annual benefit assessments apportioned among the lots or parcels of property within the established Consolidated Maintenance District (“CMD”). The assessments to be placed on parcels within this district area reflect that portion of the cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping ("special benefit") above and beyond the basic cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping throughout the City ("general benefit"); and
WHEREAS, as set forth in the attached Development Services Director’s Report (Exhibit 1), the property within this new area reflects that portion of the cost of maintenance of public street landscaping and/or a public park, based on the location of said improvements in or near said area, above and beyond the general benefit of parcels within the City that are not part of the CMD. Each parcel within this area will be assessed its proportionate share of special benefit based on its zoning and size.
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Bakersfield to add Area 4-333 (530 4th Street) generally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to the CMD, in order to maintain local improvements including street landscaping and/or a public park; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, heretofore by Resolution of Intention No. 2276 declared its intention to add territory to the CMD, preliminarily confirmed and approved the Development Services Director's Report, the boundaries of the proposed additional territory, the
fairness of the benefit formula, and the amount of assessment to be levied against each parcel. Said additional territory shall be designated Area 4-333, as shown and designated on that certain map entitled “Map and Assessment Diagram for Addition of Territory, 4-333 (530 4th Street), to the Consolidated Maintenance District, Bakersfield, California,” for this fiscal year on file in the offices of the City Clerk and Development Services Director, City of Bakersfield; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein.
2. The Council hereby adds territory, Area 4-333 to the CMD and confirms and adopts the Development Services Director’s Report, including the amounts of assessment for each assessed parcel.
3. Exhibits "A" and "B" describe the additional territory.
4. All parcels within this additional territory shall be assessed at an amount not to exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit per year. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles - Long Beach – Anaheim /All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscape improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tiers will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above-described Consumer Price Index. The benefit formula (Exhibit "C"), budget (Exhibit "D"), assessment roll (Exhibit "E"), and letter from the property owner(s) requesting inclusion in the CMD (Exhibit “H”) are attached hereto.
5. The Kern County Tax Collector is hereby authorized to collect such assessments.
6. Beginning in the 2026-2027 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Development Services Director is hereby directed to prepare an annual report, as provided in Chapter 13.04 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, and file it with the City Clerk within the time allowed for placement of assessments on the County tax
rolls for the applicable fiscal year. Upon filing of the annual report, the Clerk shall set a hearing before the City Council and give Notice of Hearing in the manner prescribed in Chapter 13.04 of said code.
7. The City Council hereby reserves the right to perform the work of maintenance and operation of the public improvements by City forces or by private contractor. Such determination and election is to be made for each year at the time the budget and
assessment is approved for the year in question.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was passed and adopted, by the Council of the City of Bakersfield at a regular meeting thereof held on ______________________________ by the following vote:

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-333
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 530 4th 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 hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, 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 2026-2027 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.

A RESOLUTION ADDING TERRITORY, AREA 5-145 (1203 E.
PLANZ ROAD) TO THE CONSOLIDATED MAINTENANCE
DISTRICT; APPROVING, CONFIRMING AND ADOPTING THE
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR’S REPORT, THE
BOUNDARIES OF THE ADDITION, THE FAIRNESS OF THE BENEFIT
FORMULA, AND THE AMOUNT OF THE ASSESSMENT TO BE
LEVIED AGAINST EACH PARCEL. (WARD 1)
WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has filed with the City Clerk the Development Services Director’s Report, including a budget, assessment formula, improvements to be maintained by the district, description of property and proposed assessments; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield provides for a procedure by which the City Council may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating any public improvements which are local in nature, from annual benefit assessments apportioned among the lots or parcels of property within the established Consolidated Maintenance District (“CMD”). The assessments to be placed on parcels within this district area reflect that portion of the cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping ("special benefit") above and beyond the basic cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping throughout the City ("general benefit"); and
WHEREAS, as set forth in the attached Development Services Director’s Report (Exhibit 1), the property within this new area reflects that portion of the cost of maintenance of public street landscaping and/or a public park, based on the location of said improvements in or near said area, above and beyond the general benefit of parcels within the City that are not part of the CMD. Each parcel within this area will be assessed its proportionate share of special benefit based on its zoning and size.
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Bakersfield to add Area 5-145 (1203 E. Planz Road) generally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to the CMD, in order to maintain local improvements including street landscaping and/or a public park; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, heretofore by Resolution of Intention No. 2277 declared its intention to add territory to the CMD, preliminarily confirmed and approved the Development Services Director's Report, the boundaries of the proposed additional territory, the
fairness of the benefit formula, and the amount of assessment to be levied against each parcel. Said additional territory shall be designated Area 5-145, as shown and designated on that certain map entitled “Map and Assessment Diagram for Addition of Territory, 5-145 (1203 E. Planz Road), to the Consolidated Maintenance District, Bakersfield, California,” for this fiscal year on file in the offices of the City Clerk and Development Services Director, City of Bakersfield; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein.
2. The Council hereby adds territory, Area 5-145 to the CMD and confirms and adopts the Development Services Director’s Report, including the amounts of assessment for each assessed parcel.
3. Exhibits "A" and "B" describe the additional territory.
4. All parcels within this additional territory shall be assessed at an amount not to exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit per year. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles - Long Beach – Anaheim /All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscape improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tiers will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above-described Consumer Price Index. The benefit formula (Exhibit "C"), budget (Exhibit "D"), assessment roll (Exhibit "E"), and letter from the property owner(s) requesting inclusion in the CMD (Exhibit “H”) are attached hereto.
5. The Kern County Tax Collector is hereby authorized to collect such assessments.

Beginning in the 2026-2027 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Development Services Director is hereby directed to prepare an annual report, as provided in Chapter 13.04 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, and file it with the City Clerk within the time allowed for placement of assessments on the County tax
rolls for the applicable fiscal year. Upon filing of the annual report, the Clerk shall set a hearing before the City Council and give Notice of Hearing in the manner prescribed in Chapter 13.04 of said code.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 5-145
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 1203 E. Planz 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 hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, 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 2026-2027 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.

Each parcel within this area will be assessed its proportionate share of special benefit based on its zoning and size.
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Bakersfield to add Area 3-126 (west side of Ashe Road, south of Taft Highway) generally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to the CMD, in order to maintain local improvements including street landscaping and/or a public park; and

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 3-126
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is generally described as the west side of Ashe Road and south of Taft Highway 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 hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, 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 2026-2027 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 4-323
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 103 King 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 hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, 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 2026-2027 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 4-325
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 3315 Union 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 hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, 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 2026-2027 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.

WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has filed with the City Clerk the Development Services Director’s Report, including a budget, assessment formula, improvements to be maintained by the district, description of property and proposed assessments; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield provides for a procedure by which the City Council may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating any public improvements which are local in nature, from annual benefit assessments apportioned among the lots or parcels of property within the established Consolidated Maintenance District (“CMD”). The assessments to be placed on parcels within this district area reflect that portion of the cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping ("special benefit") above and beyond the basic cost of maintenance of a public park and public street landscaping throughout the City ("general benefit"); and
WHEREAS, as set forth in the attached Development Services Director’s Report (Exhibit 1), the property within this new area reflects that portion of the cost of maintenance of public street landscaping and/or a public park, based on the location of said improvements in or near said area, above and beyond the general benefit of parcels within the City that are not part of the CMD. Each parcel within this area will be assessed its proportionate share of special benefit based on its zoning and size.
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Bakersfield to add Area 4-330 (2709 & 2713 Haley Street) generally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to the CMD, in order to maintain local improvements including street landscaping and/or a public park; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, heretofore by Resolution of Intention No. 2281 declared its intention to add territory to the CMD, preliminarily confirmed and approved the Development Services Director's Report, the boundaries of the proposed additional territory, the
fairness of the benefit formula, and the amount of assessment to be levied against each parcel. Said additional territory shall be designated Area 4-330, as shown and designated on that certain map entitled “Map and Assessment Diagram for Addition of Territory, 4-330 (2709 & 2713 Haley Street), to the Consolidated Maintenance District, Bakersfield, California,” for this fiscal year on file in the offices of the City Clerk and Development Services Director, City of Bakersfield; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bakersfield, State of California, as follows:

2. The Council hereby adds territory, Area 4-330 to the CMD and confirms and adopts the Development Services Director’s Report, including the amounts of assessment for each assessed parcel.
3. Exhibits "A" and "B" describe the additional territory.
4. All parcels within this additional territory shall be assessed at an amount not to exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit per year. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles - Long Beach – Anaheim /All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscape improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tiers will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above-described Consumer Price Index. The benefit formula (Exhibit "C"), budget (Exhibit "D"), assessment roll (Exhibit "E"), and letter from the property owner(s) requesting inclusion in the CMD (Exhibit “H”) are attached hereto.
5. The Kern County Tax Collector is hereby authorized to collect such assessments.
6. Beginning in the 2026-2027 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Development Services Director is hereby directed to prepare an annual report, as provided in Chapter 13.04 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, and file it with the City Clerk within the time allowed for placement of assessments on the County tax
rolls for the applicable fiscal year. Upon filing of the annual report, the Clerk shall set a hearing before the City Council and give Notice of Hearing in the manner prescribed in Chapter 13.04 of said code.

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.

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

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.

WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has filed with the City Clerk the Development Services Director’s Report, including a budget, assessment formula, improvements to be maintained by the district, description of property and proposed assessments; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield provides for a procedure by which the City Council may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating any public improvements which are local in nature, from annual benefit assessments apportioned among the lots or parcels of property within the established Consolidated Maintenance District (“CMD”).

Each parcel within this area will be assessed its proportionate share of special benefit based on its zoning and size.
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Bakersfield to add Area 4-331 (1922 V Street & 230 20th Street) generally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to the CMD, in order to maintain local improvements including street landscaping and/or a public park; and

In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles - Long Beach – Anaheim /All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscape improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tiers will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above-described Consumer Price Index. The benefit formula (Exhibit "C"), budget (Exhibit "D"), assessment roll (Exhibit "E"), and letter from the property owner(s) requesting inclusion in the CMD (Exhibit “H”) are attached hereto.

ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-331
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 1922 V Street & 230 20th 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 hard- scaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.
All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, 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 2026-2027 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: September 16, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: August 26, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention No. 2284 to add Area 5 -149 to the Consolidated Maintenance District.
Resolution of Intention (ROI) to add the following territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily approving, confirming, and adopting the Development Services Director’s Report:
ROI No. 2284 adding Area 5-149 (Tract 7153 – north side of E. Wilson Road, east of S. Fairfax Road):
Street Tier = 1; Park Tier = 0 – Ward 1
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adopting the resolution of intention.
BACKGROUND:
Written requests have been received by the City Engineer from the owner of the parcel to be included in 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.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property 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 owner has also submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating their consent to the assessments.
To provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be recorded with the Kern County Assessor‐Recorder's Office upon approval of this Resolution.
Staff recommend the new territory 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
