DEPARTMENT
CITY MANAGE
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR DAVIES AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: HAMED JONES, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: JUNE 11,2024
SUBJECT: APPROPRIATIONS tlMlT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024125
BACKGROUND
ln November 7979, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 4, commonly known as the "appropriations limit" or "Gann limit". The proposition created Article Xlll B of the State Constitution, a law that requires state and local governments to adopt an annual appropriations limit. The appropriations limit establishes a limit on the proceeds of taxes that may be appropriated for spending in a given fiscal year. ln June 1990, Proposition 111was passed to modify Proposition 4. Two of the provisions included in Proposition 111 were to provide for an option for local governments to select from adjustment factors that would allow them to be more responsive to local growth and to require an annual review of the appropriations limit calculations. The adjustment factors can be based on either the growth in California per capital income (Per Capita lncome) or the growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City (New Construction Rate). The adjustment factor for population can be based on either a population groMh rate in Tehachapi or Kern County.
The limit is based on actual appropriations from fiscalyear 7978179 and it is increased each year by population and economic growth factors. The calculation includes only revenues that are classified as proceeds from taxes and allows for certain exclusions including transfers, capital outlays, payment for debt services, appropriations supported by increased gas taxes, and appropriations required to comply with mandates of the courts or federal government, such as FLSA overtime or payments of FICA/Medicare Tax.
When the limit is exceeded, Proposition 4 requires the surplus to be returned to taxpayers within two years' Appropriations in the two-year period can be averaged before becoming subject to excess revenue provisions of the Gann limit.
The appropriations limit calculation for fiscalyear 2024/25 is derived from the percentage change in California per Capita Personal lncome and the population rate change in Kern County. The percentage change in Per Capita lncome was3.62% and the population rate change for Kern County wasO.77Yo.
The calculated appropriations limit for the City of Tehachapi for Fiscal Year 2024125 is S17,811,394.
FISCAL !MPACT
No fiscal impact unless appropriations from tax proceeds exceed the limit.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends council adopt the resolution establishing an appropriations limit for fiscal Year 2024/25.

SUBJECT: INFORMATION ONTY.PARKS AND RECREATION STUDY PRESENTATTON
BACKGROUND
The City of Tehachapi recently opened our first two recreation facilities with the Tehachapi Police Pickleball Courts and Valley Park, which includes a Five-A-Side soccer field. \Mrile the City owns and maintains several parks and public spaces, these are our first recreation facilities. The City of Tehachapi is a member of the Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District, a special district that along with owning and maintaining several parks, is also the lead organized recreation entity for the City, Golden Hills, Mountain Meadows, Sand Canyon, Alpine Forest, Hart Flat and other unincorporated areas of Kern County.
ln addition to those communities, Bear Valley Springs has their own recreation department operated by the Bear Valley Springs Homeowners Association and Stallion Springs has their recreation services and facilities managed by the Stallion Springs Community Services District.
TVRPD was originally formed in 1958 as a special district and included the City of Tehachapi and the Coung of Kern. As other communities such as Golden Hills, Stallion Springs and Bear Valley Springs developed, they were included within the district. Both Stallion Springs and Bear Valley Springs have since de-annexed from WRPD and provide their own recreation and parks services through special funding mechanisms.
Wth a population of 40,000 total, the Tehachapi Area is a complex mix of communities and separate recreation and parks entities. While property owners pay for these services through proper$ taxes, special fees, and homeowners association fees, the entities provide services that are utilized by nearly all residents, no matter their location in the Tehachapi Area. \Mth that thought in mind, the City of Tehachapi decided to conduct a study to help evaluate each individual entity that either owns parks, provides recreation to their residents or both. This study was completed internally, to leverage the institutional knowledge of the area without the time required to bring a consultant up to speed and save several thousand dollars in costs. The City Manager envisioned a document that would aid the recreation and parks entities in the Tehachapi area to evaluate program offerings, facilities and explore opportunities for better service delivery to all residents.
The entities evaluated within this study were the City of Tehachapi, Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District, Golden Hills Community Services District, Stallion Springs Community Services District, Tehachapi Unified School District and the Bear Valley Springs Association.
STUDY PREPARATION
Each partner in the study was contacted and sent a scope of work and the goals and objectives of this study. ln addition, each organization was also provided with a request for information form that included an inventory of current facilities, programs offered within each facili$, master expansion plans, surplus property as well as budget information for staffing for both recreation programming and parks maintenance.
That information is included in the entity-specific sections of the report. Those sections allow each partner to better understand what is currently being offered in the area and how the facilities that are utilized and maintained.
Once gathered, the information was analyzed based on the long-term strength of funding, necessary subsidies from nonrestricted funds, operational costs and demographic information from the areas represented. \A/ith the analysis came specific recommendations, first evaluating the ability to continue operating under current arrangements. Several other ideas and alternative service models were also developed and included in the report. Each was considered for their financial stability, long-term impact and feasibility.
MAJOR FINDINGS
This study evaluated the above and some of the potential new forms of service delivery, with an emphasis on growing collaboration as the area grows and the demands for recreation change among residents. For example, younger demographics the City of Tehachapi have different needs than some of the areas with an aging population such as Bear Valley Springs. This study considered that, and how to best deliver service and maximize facilig use across all entities.
Some of the most-emphasized recommendations within the study are:
Each entity involved with TVRPD (City of Tehachapi, Golden Hills CSD, County of Kern) should develop smaller, value-added recreation facilities with either special, grant or unrestricted funds as available.
Collaboration between agencies should increase, as either the financial information provided does not support the growing demands of the public, or the demographics of some communities require cross-promotion and recruitment across jurisdictional lines.
Smaller agencies struggling with funding for recreation should consider their long{erm solvency and whether their customers would be better served by joining forces with another recreation provider.
Each recreation provider or facility owner should consider a regularly scheduled meeting of managers to discuss cooperation opportunities, co-branded leagues, tournaments or special events.
Agencies such as TVRPD, Stallion Springs CSD and the Tehachapi Unified Schoot District should not only continue any facili$ use agreements in place to meet the growing demand for space, but seek other solutions to utilize facilities, especially for basketball.
TUSD should work with partners like WRPD and the City of Tehachapi to renovate some aging and underutilized facilities for more community usage.
Agencies relying on fees for usage or membership should consider studying the rates that are being charged and if they should be updated to increase the sustainability of their programs and venues.
The City of Tehachapi hopes that this document will serve as a guidance tool to each entity involved to explore all options available to better provide the services, facilities and recreational opportunities for our residents.

STUDY AUTHOR
This study was conducted under the leadership of the City of Tehachapi, understanding the need to organize all the recreational offerings and facilities within the Greater Tehachapi Area to explore potential service options to better serve the residents of all communities.
Tehachapi City Manager Greg Garrett envisioned the creation of a document that would aid the entire Tehachapi Area in evaluating their recreation services and explore all options for meeting the recreation demands of the residents they serve. Assistant City Manager Corey Costelloe authored the study by first compiling information requested from each participating agency via a standard form asking for facility inventory, funding, staffing levels, programs offered, facility master plans and future expansion plans.
Once that information was received, if there were questions or a desire for additional conversation with managers, those conversations took place.
Costelloe has career experience working in interscholastic, NAIA and NCAA Athletics having traveled the nation in that capacity visiting many different facilities in communities of all sizes. He currently serves as the chairperson of the Facility Advisory Committee for the Tehachapi Unified School District. A committee comprised of a representative member for each school campus, represented staff within the district and community members. This committee evaluates facility concerns, reviews proposals for improvements throughout the school district and brings recommendations forward to the TUSD Board of Trustees. ln 2023 the committee recommended the Board of Trustees update the facility master plan, a motion that was approved and work is currently underway on that study.
The City of Tehachapi is a member of the Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District, a special district that provides recreational programming and owns a variety of facilities and parks. The City of Tehachapi recently constructed two new recreation facilities with both grant and unrestricted general fund revenue. These new facilities and the active engagement in recreation services by the City of Tehachapi started the staff level conversation about a study to see what potential collaborations or service delivery methods and alternatives could be possible in the Greater Tehachapi Area. llPage

Section I: EXECUTIVE SU IVI IVIARY
The City of Tehachapi, seeking a comprehensive look into the recreation programming and the facility inventory in the Greater Tehachapi Area initiated this study in hopes of developing a better understanding of each organization, political jurisdiction or special district involved in providing recreation access to the residents of our area.
This analysis was derived from information provided by the stakeholders from each agency, or from information available online via public transparency portals. Since this was an effort that included several jurisdictions, some of which have limited funding, the City of Tehachapi elected to delegate this report to internal staff with an understanding of the unique makeup of the Tehachapi Area. An outside consultant would have meant significant cost sharing, which may not have been feasible to some organizations, and a vast amount of time needed to explain and comprehend the complexity of government in the Tehachapi region with one incorporated city, five community service districts, a special park and recreation district and a unified school district who own a significant portion of the athletic facilities in the area. This understanding was critical to developing a report that evaluates the best service options available, can explain each entities funding, political landscape and potential partnerships moving fonvard.
The City of Tehachapianalyzed financial information, staffing levels, demographics, long-term planning, facility inventory and program offerings provided by the various agencies within the area that provide either recreation services, own parks or facilities or a combination of both.
The Tehachapi Area has many offerings within the recreation world with facilities spread throughout each community. With that much geographic distance and the unique demographics of each community, there was an emphasis on current and potential alternative service delivery models to allow some agencies the ability to increase program participation, fund facility improvements and consider partnerships and rethink recreation delivery outside of jurisdictional boundaries as appropriate.
To begin this project, City staff asked for documents, data, facility inventory, master plan documents, financial information and program offerings from the Bear Valley Springs Association, Golden Hills Community Services District, Stallion Springs Community Services District, Tehachapi Unified School District and Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District. The City of Tehachapi also provided the same information requested from each partner within the region. This information was used to develop both an inventory of facilities and programs offered, but assist with the assessment of the programs, funding sources, exploration of potential partnerships, reclassification and feasibility of value-added recreational opportunities.
Based on this review, this report believes that the Tehachapi area not only have several recreation providers and facility owners, but that none of them can operate exclusively within their political borders. Each entity either owns facilities but is a member of a special recreation district, or has facilities within their jurisdiction, but not enough participation in organized activities exclusively within their borders without the need to recruit or accept participants from outside. 4lPage
This report does not suggest that one agency should oversee recreation and parks for every jurisdiction in the area but suggests an approach to investigate the feasibility of current offerings, potential partnerships to better leverage the use of facilities, leagues, special events and the formation of master plans for those who do not have one or have one that no longer speaks to the needs of the community. ln addition, community members oftentimes do not understand the difference between Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District (TVRPD) and the City of Tehachapi, or that facilities "owned" by the Tehachapi Unified School District, are not always readily available for community use due to the needs of interscholastic teams. While there are several different "owners" of facilities in the area, most of them were funded by public tax dollars, and therefore they belong to every resident, therefore a resident-first approach for facilitating recreational needs is the most important task moving forward.
On that note, the study investigated and supports the following actions. o Each entity involved with WRPD (City of Tehachapi, Golden Hills CSD, County of Kern) should develop smaller, value-added recreation facilities with either special, grant or unrestricted funds as available.
o Collaboration between agencies should increase, as either the financial information provided does not support the growing demands of the public, or the demographics of some communities require cross-promotion and recruitment across jurisdictional lines. o Smaller agencies struggling with funding for recreation should consider their lonS-term solvency and whether their customers would be better served by joining forces with another recreation provider.
o Each recreation provider or facility owner should consider a regularly scheduled meeting of managers to discuss cooperation opportunities, co-branded leagues, tournaments or challenges. o Agencies such as WRPD, Stallion Springs CSD and the Tehachapi Unified School District should not only continue any facility use agreements in place to meet the growing demand for space, but seek other solutions to utilize facilities, especially for basketball. o TUSD should work with partners like WRPD and the City of Tehachapi to renovate some aging and under-utilized facilities for more community usage. o Agencies relying on fees for usage or membership should consider studying the rates that are being charged and if they should be updated to increase the sustainability of their programs and venues.

SECTION 2: SCOPE OF PROJECT
The scope of this project was to provide a review of the various recreation providers and parks and recreation facilities within the Greater Tehachapi Area so that stakeholders, governing bodies and residents could get an understanding of the recreation opportunities available in the Tehachapi Area and analyze potential partnership or service delivery opportunities.
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the current offerings in the Tehachapi area, potential expansion and master plans from the various entities, funding sources, facility inventory and demographics of each jurisdiction as to better understand the needs of the community.
This report was prepared to provide insights and analysis of each recreation entity and political jurisdiction to assist with decision making by the governing bodies to better position themselves to meet the changing needs of recreation and parks within the Tehachapi area. ln the analysis, this report provides recommendations for potential alternative service delivery models, effectiveness of current models and potential strategic direction for future planning.
Key areas evaluated in this report include:
o The review of existing facilities and staffing levels for each recreation entity. o Comprehensive list of indoor and outdoor facilities operated by each jurisdiction o References to any master plans or future expansion plans. o Analysis of unrestricted and restricted funding sources for communities. o ldentification of potential partnership and cross-promotional opportunities. o ldentification of potential facility-use agreements between entities. . Demographics of each political jurisdiction within the Tehachapi area. o Current and future service alternatives.

SECTION 3: ORGANIZATION AND
MANAGEMENT
GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
Tehachapi, California is a community located in Eastern Kern County isolated by nearly 40 minutes of drive time from any other major city including Bakersfield (Population 403,455)1 and the Northern Los Angeles County cities of Lancaster (Population 173,515)1 and Palmdale (Population 159,450)1 to the southeast.
The Tehachapi area includes several communities, each with individual governance structures, community service districts and in some cases a property owners associations (HOA). Each manages or works with a special district or department for the management of their parks, facilities and recreational programming.
The City of Tehachapi is the only incorporated city in the area and encompasses seven square miles bordering State Route 58, a major economic driver for the region and the nation. The City of Tehachapi's population is (12,855)1 but its geographic location means that all major transportation routes in and out of the area run through the city limits, which positions the city as the major economic center for surrounding unincorporated communities in Tehachapi, as well as neighboring communities with fewer retail offerings such as California City, Mojave and Rosamond.
The City of Tehachapi has a council-manager form of government with a five-person elected city council and appointed mayor. The City of Tehachapi owns and maintains six large public parks, two recreation facilities, and other open spaces oftentimes linked to neighborhoods with a landscape lighting district assessment used for maintenance expenses. The City of Tehachapi recently completed their 6th public park (Valley Park) and four public pickleball courts located at the Tehachapi Police Department.
Currently other parks, recreational facilities and recreational programming are operated by the Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District (TVRPD), a special district operating under Section 5780 of the California State Code. Since 1958, the Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District has been committed to providing high quality recreation and parks facilities to the Greater Tehachapi Area including parks, trails, pool, and recreation centers.2 the City of Tehachapialong with the Golden Hills Community Services District and other portions of unincorporated Kern County including Mountain Meadows, Sand Canyon and the Cummings/Brite Valleys, are included in this special district jurisdiction.
TVRPD is governed by an appointed five-member board of directors with two appointed by the Tehachapi City Council and three appointed by the County of Kern Board of Supervisors. WRPD is managed by a General Manager and a small administrative staff including recreational supervisors, marketing and recreation specialists.

Future Programming Opportunities
The City of Tehachapi continues to explore options and opportunities for organized recreational activities on the above facilities under construction. Preliminary plans are to leave the facilities completely open to the public for the first six to 12 months due to demand, prior to authorizing organized use and reservations. The Tehachapi Police Department along with the Tehachapi Police Foundation, have started small fundraising initiatives to assist with organized youth activities and the potential creation of a police activities league that targets underserved youth in our community.
Additionally, TVRPD has express interest in organizing leagues for these facilities, given their expertise, they are a potential partner for both organized recreational programming, and a partnership with the police activities league once established.

Future Expansion and Master PlanS
The WRPD Master Plan is a working long-term planning document. Further, it provides organization, prioritizes park improvements and development, and defines a realistic plan for implementation, including subsequent approvals by public agencies, and is living in the sense that it is allowed to evolve in response to future opportunities and desires of park users.6 Additionally, new residential developments within the jurisdiction of TVRPD pays into a 'Parks/Recreation Facilities lmpact Fee' program, which ensures that new homes pay a proportional share of the anticipated impact they will have on parks and recreation facilities to ensure funding for future capacity expansion. This rates are studied by an independent consultant who evaluates a list of proposed expansion projects and sets the development impact fee based on a fair share calculation. The fee rates are established via resolution by both the Tehachapi City Council and the Kern County Board of Supervisors. (See Exhibit j).
To fund any future expansion plans, WRPD is reliant on the following five funding sources:
o Property Taxes within the special district
o Developer lmpact Fees
o Sponsorships/Donations to the WRPD Foundation

Name Property Size (Acres) Future Expansion Plans
ln early 2024,the Board of Directors created the Golden Hills Nature Park Master Plan, that includes future phased planning for the property, including space set aside for active recreation facilities. A copy of that master plan is included in the attachments of this report. (Exhibit 1) The projects outlined in the Master Plan will be solely funded by the GHCSD General Fund account along with additional revenue streams that become available. Currently the General Fund account receives its revenues from a number of avenues including property taxes, facility rents received, land leases, franchise fees, interest accrued, profits received from the sale of land, and grant proceeds.
This Master Plan further intends to clarifiT that revenues received from GHCSD customers through payment of their water bills will not be utilized in any capacity to pay for any of the proposals laid out in this plan. Money received from water bills is deposited into specified Water Funds and can only be utilized under fixed conditions for distinct purposes, none of which include Parks and recreation functions.T

SECTION 7: BEAR VALLEY SPRINGS
ASSOCIATION
Current Structure and Manqgement
Bear Valley Springs' recreation and parks are operated by the Bear Valley Springs Association (BVSA) which utilizes special property tax assessments for parcel owners in the gated community. Bear Valley Springs was previously a member of WRPD before removing themselves from the special district to provide their own recreation opportunities within their community. These assessments fund of a variety of facilities and activities for residents, not exclusive to recreation. While the recreation components and facility maintenance are a large component of the expenses, the association assessments also cover other entities like the Oak Tree Country Club Restaurant and Mulligan Room restaurant at the Oak Tree Country Club golf course. The Bear Valley Springs Association is managed by one general manager reporting to a five-member association board elected on two-year terms. Five other committees, appointed by board members annually, also advise the board on specific areas of expertise within Bear Valley including the golf course, Whiting Center, equestrian trails and more. BVSA operates its own recreation department which hosts special events throughout the year along with organized youth and adult leagues, specifically basketball, soccer, softball, baseball and inline roller hockey. Separate league fees are collected for both property owners within the district and those located outside of Bear Valley Springs at a higher cost.

Funding Sources
The Bear Valley Springs Association is funded mostly through 56,920,424 in property tax assessments for parcels within BVS8. This allocation is spread across all BVS amenities, not just recreation and maintenance staff. Taxable sales are part of some amenities, however, to supplement property assessment income, the BVSA Recreation department receives over S109,000 annually for sports league fees (residents & guests) and facility use fees (guests). ln addition, revenue is also received from the various campsites around BVS. Other revenues not included in this analysis can be attributed to the golf course, restaurant, Mulligan Room and various equestrian-related items such as horse boarding.
While attempting to focus on the recreation facilities and programming with the study, unlike other recreation entities in the Tehachapi area, Bear Valley Springs and the Association have a variety of funding sources stemming from the property assessments delivered annually, association fees, the revenue potential for the golf course and restaurants. Currently, the BVSA's total income is S10,832,690 8 BVSA Stotement of Revenues, Expenditures and Chonge of Fund Balonce FYE 2023.

SECTION 8: STALLION SPRINGS
COTVI IVI UNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
Current Structule and Management
Stallion Springs is a former member of the Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District but de-annexed from the District to initiate their own recreation facilities with limited programming. Stallion Springs recreation includes a 16,000 s.f. community center that was grant funded, grant stipulations include that the gym be open and available to the public for 19 hours hours each week, limiting the ability for organized leagues and practices in the gymnasium portion.
Stallion Springs CSD includes operations of water, wastewater, road maintenance, police and trash and recycling services.
SSCSD is governed by a five-member board of directors with an appointed president. Each member serves four-year staggered terms. The board appoints a general manager. Currently, the general manager assists the part-time Parks and Recreation Manager in operations. Maintenance staff is also split between road maintenance and parks and facilities maintenance with two employees splitting their time between the two departments.

Stallion Springs CSD does not operate any active recreation leagues for things like basketball and baseball, but, does offer classes such as Judo, Yoga, Dance, Zyma and activities such as open gym, volleyball and indoor pickleball. As previously mentioned, the grant assurances to keep open community access of 19 hours per week does somewhat limit organized league activities during the week.

Funding Sources
Stallion Springs CSD receives an annual allocation for Parks & Recreation expenses from property taxes, which was budgeted at 5220,000 in the fiscal year ending 2024. This allocation just covers the staff allocation expenses between management and maintenance, any potential shortfalls would be covered by unrestricted property taxes.

Revenue is also received from entry fees to the swimming pool, which were budgeted at 514,000 in the current fiscal year. With the pool being an outdoors facility, entry is limited until the warmer summer months and given Stallion Springs' climate, the sometime erratic weather can impact attendance in one way or another. Current fees to enter the pool are set at 54 per person.
Exercise and other class offerings at the community center generate S12,000 per year, along with park programming revenue which is expected to be 535,000 this year. Some of the revenue generated by Stallion Springs CSD is allocated to the Parks and Recreation department at 530,000 per year. Facility rental, mostly of the community center generates 55,000 per year. 35 lPage

SECTION 10: FINDINGS AND
RECOM]VI ENDATIONS
General Finding
It is estimated that the Tehachapi Area, given the economic and job multiplying industries that surround it, and the continued migration from more urban settings to the rural offerings of this area, will continue to see population growth. While population numbers have remained steady, mostly due in part to the closure of two prison facilities at the California Correctional lnstitution Tehachapi, where the release or relocation of several thousand inmates, whose population was counted, the resident population is slightly increasing.
A2027 Parks and Recreation mitigation fee study conducted by Lechowitz & Sign MunicipalConsultants estimated that the service area for TVRPD is anticipated to increase 22Yo from 2027to 2O4l from 22,796 to 29,355, that number takes into account the residents within the district, but does not include the growth from outside the district (BVS, Stallion Springs) that also continue to experience growth.
According to the American Community Survey, the 93561 zip code has been averaging over 30,000 residents for the last several Di centennial Census Reports and 2022 American Community Survey updates along with 7,000-8,000 children under the age of 18 within households, accounting for roughly 25% of the residents within the area. While each recreation entity and jurisdiction provides recreation programming and facilities for residents of all ages, the youth programs, given the childhood and social development opportunities they provide, remain the most utilized services.
Given the strength of surrounding industries along with new renewable energy, aerospace and defense initiatives located nearby, the job-growth and job multiplier impact is sure to bring a population increase to the Tehachapi area. With that, proper sources for funding such as impact fees will be relied upon to fund the capacity increases needed to address the increased demand for recreational services and a variety of offerings as residents from other communities relocate and bring new demands for recreational opportunities.
With several entities operating with limited budgets, and given the complexity of forming one recreation entity, cooperation and increased collaboration are needed to ensure that each organization can survive. Each recreation entity currently offers programming to those outside of their district boundaries, often requiring and relying on participation from those residents to generate revenue for their programs. No entity can survive alone based on the residents within their boundaries.
While residents often ask for new facilities, funding for those within current recreational entities is extremely limited. Even if funding is secured, building new facilities is easy, but long-term maintenance and operating expenses are often overlooked. lt is critical that any entity considering any funding source for new facilities consider the long-term maintenance costs.
Below is a list of potential partnerships for each recreational entity or those who own, operate or are building recreationa I assets.
tOlPage
TVRPD
Service Options
Part of this study is to explore alternatives and partnership opportunities that meet or exceed the current levels of service to residents. From this perspective, the three following options were considered in meeting these parameters.
IVa intain Cu rrent Arra ngements and Partnersh ips
The current structure of the special district includes residents of the City of Tehachapi, Golden Hills, Sand Canyon and other unincorporated County of Kern residents in the Tehachapi area and the programs are being executed, but with few options and funding for increased capacity, offerings or new facilities. This current structure also requires an ongoing agreement with the Tehachapi Unified School District to utilize gymnasium space for youth basketball programs. lncrease Contracts and Partnerships with Surrounding Agencies TVRPD is utilizing their own (Aspen Builde/s Activity Center) and school district facilities for some of their programs. On the basketball front, those gyms are fully used on Saturdays during the winter season. This does not include practice times during the week which are limited due to the high school and middle school teams needing those facilities, which forces TVRPD into short practice times during the week at Aspen Gym.
Exploring additional partnerships could start with Stallion Springs Community Services District, whose residents currently enroll in TVRPD programs, but pay a higher "out of district" registration rate to participate. Since Stallion Springs does not offer their own youth basketball league, those children are participating in the WRPD program.
An agreement with Stallion Springs and TVRPD in which Stallion Springs residents receive "in-district" registration fees in exchange for WRPD access to the gymnasium at the community center for games, practices or both. This potential not only alleviates the pressure on current gymnasium space in Tehachapi, but could provide additional game space on Saturdays for youth basketball teams and eliminate the later start times for some of the older aged youth teams who are playing late into the evenings on Saturdays due to space availability. Any agreement would need to be ensured to meet the grant assurances for the funding of the Stallion Springs Community Center which requires 19 hours a week of "open gym" time for residents. This could be achieved while also increasing the utilization of this facility while saving the residents money with a lower registration fees for basketball leagues.
Other District Cooperation Opportunities
41 lPage
Bear Valley Springs actively advertises some of their youth programs and leagues outside of the gated community. Similar to WRPD, those that live outside of Bear Valley Springs are required to have a "sponso/' resident in the league and pay a higher registration fee to participate. Bear Valley Springs has a very limited reach on social media, mostly hyper-local and geared towards those living within the community. With the size of WRPD and the central location to more potential participants, the Bear Valley Springs Association's recreation department could partner with TVRPD in advertising noncompeting programs, potentially in exchange for WRPD residents to receive a reduced or similar registration fee to those living within the Association's boundaries.
The reasoning behind this, as opposed to an organization like WRPD just adding their own similar programs, center around facility space and competition with simultaneous programs. While adding programs would be a way to increase revenue, finding capacity within staffing limitations and recreation space could be problematic. Partnering with other agencies as a co-branded offering with a benefit to all parties could increase awareness of other programs each organization offers and assists with potential new revenue or additional spending within the district.
Continue building relationship with Tehachapi Unified School District for use of facilities. While TUSD is also limited with facility space while not sacrificing the needs of interscholastic sports, identifying potential underused facilities and opportunities should continue. For example:
o Partner with TUSD to see the renovation of lmhof Field and consider an agreement for maintenance as well. This former baseball field would be useful for adult softball leagues or community practice space.
o Evaluate availability of tennis courts at the middle school campus and draft a use policy for open community play managed by WRPD.
o Partner with the City of Tehachapiand Golden Hills to offer programs at new recreation facilities with a portion of revenue remitted to the City/GHCSD for maintenance and repair.
Evaluate Program Offerings to Ensure lVaximum Participation and Minimal Competition Tehachapi Little League leases the West Park baseball and softball diamonds for their leagues annually from March to June. TVRPD also operates a youth co-ed baseball program (T-ball and Coach Pitch) along similar months. However, recently Tehachapi Little League offers 5-years olds to enter their program, which is in direct conflict with WRPD's Coach Pitch league which is for five and six year olds. Considering Tehachapi Little League as a tenant, the competition for those player fees is harming TVRPD and should be exclusive to the TVRPD program.
Consider late summer/early fall outdoor programs that can utilize facilities. For example, fall girl's softball, flag football or fall baseball through Little League another baseball organization that offers fall programs.
Hire a consultant to evaluate lease fees and registration fees to ensure costs are being covered and some revenue is being captured by the district for future projects. a
a
a
42 lPage
Other Service Del ivery Alternatives
Consider any potential for growing the district boundaries by being willing to annex other recreation organizations into the fold should the opportunity present itself.
Search for program partnerships with corporate entities such as the NFL, MLB and MLS for funding via community outreach and facility improvements.
Prioritize necessary improvements in facilities and services while ensuring the revenue exists to continue with maintenance efforts and long-term feasibility of any new programs.
City of Tehachapi
As previously mentioned, the City of Tehachapi has constructed their first recreation facilities with the opening of pickleball courts at the Tehachapi Police Department building and a Five-A-Side Soccer facility as part of the grant-funded Valley Park on Valley Boulevard.
While the City of Tehachapi is part of the special district that is TVRPD, the City does own some parks and public space and now a pair of recreational facilities.
Service Options
The City of Tehachapi now owns the two newest recreation facilities in the area and does not have any immediate plans for organized recreational activities at the facilities, opting instead to keep them available for organic public play, but would be open to this idea in the future. The City should continue to evaluate recreation and parks as new development pays for its impact. While some developers are required to build public space such as parks within their developments, they still pay impact fees to cover their impact on recreation facilities that will need to be expanded with the arrival of new residents and families.
lVa i ntai n Cu rrent Arra ngements a nd Pa rtnersh i ps As a member of the TVRPD jurisdiction, the City works with their recreation provider to enhance offerings to residents of all ages. Recently the City has taken more of an active role within this relationship and started initiatives that WRPD has been able to partner with as the needs of residents change.
Current arrangements benefit city residents who pay a portion of their property taxes for the facilities and services provided by WRPD. The two organizations also share impact fee related initiatives when it comes to addressing capacity issues for new residential developments. The latest study was conducted and adopted by the Tehachapi City Council and the TVRPD Board of Directors in March of 2021- and is required by law to be updated by March of 2026.
a
a
a
43!Page
The attached impact fee report is included in the study as the fee has been adopted with a nexus to the cost estimate of the following projects (Exhibit 3/. Note, some of the projects are exclusive to the City or to WRPD based on their non-regional designation or use. Some projects benefit both.
Other Service Delivery Alternatives
The City of Tehachapi has been able to expand offerings in recent years due to staffs ability to secure grant funding and hire consultants and contractors able to deliver projects. The voter's passage of Measure S in 2022 also added revenue to the City's general fund, much of which has been allocated to maintaining public infrastructure and the quality of life in the city.
As mentioned, there are no current plans for organized recreation at the city's newly-constructed recreation facilities, but the following options could be reality, some simpler than others.
Create a Tehachapi Police Activities League, that targets youth in the community with stand alone recreation programs, or funding teams that participate in WRPD programs. Pickleball leagues and Five-A-Side Soccer through a police activities league would require support and staffing from the non-profit, which is currently undergoing these fundraising efforts.
Consider the formation of a City of Tehachapi Recreation and Parks Department. This is a complicated process involving a voter referendum, the dissolution of the special district that is TVRPD, along with the blessing from the Local Agency Formation Committee, Golden Hills Community Services District and the County of Kern, which would also require those entities to send current property tax dollars going to TVRPD to the City Recreation Department should they choose to be a part of it. The assets would also need to be absorbed into one of the government agencies. This is a complicated process.
Conducive joint operations of programs and assets with TVRPD, the Tehachapi Police Activities League (if formed), other member communities and City of Tehachapi facilities. This option provides the opportunity to eventually move towards some organized recreational activities at the new City facilities without the complicated process and costs of a stand alone recreation department.
a
a
a
Final Finding and Recommendation: As revenue sources become available, the City of Tehachapi should continue to focus on "value-added" recreation opportunities, facilities that are not as large or complex as those operated by TVRPD, but focused more on family and active adult recreation. These type of facilities allow for minimal costs to develop (grants, unrestricted revenue), and can be maintained through current maintenance aBreements for minimal cost increases. These types of facilities can also lead to local revenue generation for non-profits, foot traffic for businesses and a stronger relationship with WRPD for future programming opportunities. Keep TVRPD as the main organized recreation provider while supplementing their work with additional facilities and opportunities as appropriate to meet the demands of changing demographics within the city.
The City should continue to leave options open for furthering parks and recreation services to residents. 44 lPage
Stallion Springs Community Services District
Service Options:
Maintain Current Arrangements and Partnershlps
Currently, there are minimal partnerships with the Stallion Springs recreation department outside of a small partnership for lifeguard training and cooperation with TVRPD for lifeguard staffing. This arrangement does allow for additional work for lifeguards, normally younger residents who are seeking additional summer income prior to returning to school.
The recreation facilities and services provided by Stallion Springs CSD are operating with a minimal budget, incapable of expansion of offerings or facilities. The limited property tax and other special revenues are not keeping up with the costs of providing services. Staffing challenges and large infrastructure concerns within the district are prioritized above recreation which is an ancillary service to the core responsibilities of the CSD.
lncrease Contracts and Partnerships with Surrounding Agencies As mentioned in the TVRPD section, building a partnership with TVRPD for use of facilities in exchange for "in-district" registration fees could both alleviate the facility burden for TVRPD youth basketball, and maximize the usage of the basketball courts at the Stallion Springs Community Center. Explore the cost analysis of this partnership with WRPD and potentially request additional payment for maintenance/janitorial costs, or a rental agreement similar to what TVRPD does within their agreements with the Tehachapi Unified School District for the use of their facilities.
Consider geographical partnerships with Bear Valley Springs Association. Bear Valley is actively recruiting outside of their community and association members for participation in youth programs.
Given the limited reach of BVSA outside of the community, and given the geographic location of Stallion Springs to Bear Valley. Could co-branded programs assist with some of the budget issues while also showing the ability to market organized youth programs to Stallion Springs residents. Similar to WRPD partnerships, facility usage, in-district fees or other concessions could be made within the partnership agreements.
Other Service Delivery Alternatives
Changing the funding for Stallion Springs will be challenging given the limited amount of revenue and staff allocated to recreation and facilities maintenance. Partnerships are criticalto providing service to residents.
Stallion Springs should take on a similar role as the City of Tehachapi and Golden Hills CSD and look into providing smaller ancillary recreation services and opportunities that are low cost, low maintenance but provide some of the needs of the community. For example, completing the revitalization of Man O' War Park provides some basketball and pickleball access for residents without tying up the community center for those activities. Consider partnerships with other a
o
45 lPage
a
recreation providers to assist with organized league activities (TVRPD, Bear Valley Springs Association) while leveraging current assets to build a strong recreation picture within the area.
While focusing on those partnerships, the larger conversation and financial report could begin about the process and funding necessary to return to becoming a member of WRPD once again This could still mean control over parks, the Stallion Springs Community Center and Pool, but, with organized recreation programs coming at a lower cost to residents while still providing access to ancillary recreation opportunities.
Research an entire annexation back into TVRPD, understanding the political steps necessary along with the property tax mechanisms involved.
a
Final Funding Recommendations
Stallion Springs CSD is in need of a comprehensive study regarding the rates charged for facility rentals, "drop in" passes and pool passes. Similar to the rates charged for other services within the district such as roads, some of these rates are outdated and not keeping up with the costs of maintenance or delivery of services.
Continue to fund, as able, ancillary small recreation improvements such as pickleball, outdoor basketball, non-motorized trails access and more.
Tehachapi Unified School District
The Tehachapi Unified School District holds responsibility for the most recreational space and outdoor facilities within the area. The school district operates seven campuses, three of which are or formerly were utilized as middle and high school campuses with the facilities to support interscholastic athletics.
Since they do not provide community recreation programs, but offer a support role, some of the findings are slightly different than other organizations studied.
Vlaintain Current Arrangements and Partnerships
This is a simple task to complete as the current arrangements are being executed successfully and to the extent possible that TUSD is allowed due to their need for competition and practice space for their current facilities.
lncrease Contracts and Partnerships with Surrounding Agencies Facility partnerships are for the most part maxed out due to school team needs and current contracts in place. However, working with community partners and other recreation providers while in the planning stages for future facilities and improvements would be appropriate. This concept of community buy in will assist with any potential future funding requests the school district may have to residents and those that utilize their facilities for uses outside of school competitions.
The Tehachapi Unified School District continues to renovate the Tehachapi Education Center (formerly Jacobsen Junior High School), a facility that includes a gymnasium and large baseball and multipurpose a
a
45 lPage
field. The investment in this facility, now serving as both a community college campus and an lndependent Learning Academy charter school, has allowed for both the utilization of the facility for education and after school programs but also for community usage during off-school hours. This is already in place with the lease of the gymnasium to TVRPD for youth basketball leagues. The Jacobsen Middle School campus gymnasium is also leased for the same purpose during the basketball season.
Renovating lmhof Field, with its baseball/softball infrastructure and soccer practice space is valuable leasable space for an area needing practice/competition space for those sports specifically.
Currently, employees of WRPD and the City of Tehachapi serve on TUSD's Facility Advisory Committee, that presence allows for continued discussions about partnerships, community use and long-term facility needs for the entire community.
Other Service Delivery Alternatives
Since TUSD does not provide public recreation programming, but offers their facilities for community use when available, there is not a viable service delivery alternative that applies.
Final Funding Recommendations
TUSD's funding includes a variety of school taxes, developer impact fees, and both special restricted and unrestricted funds, there is not a viable revenue stream currently available that would change the operations of TUSD.
Long-term facility expansion will be dependent on developer impact fees along with traditional school facility funding measures that require a voter initiative within their district. Prior to exploring that option TUSD should update their facilities master plan which is currently in the early stages.
Golden Hills CSD
As a member of the TVRPD special district, Golden Hills does not operate any recreation programs but as listed above, is the owner of the Golden Hills Nature Park and recently developed a Nature Park Master Plan attached to this report.
As mentioned in the master plan, the Golden Hills Nature Park has limited unrestricted funding, but GHCSD is dedicated to completing smaller projects within the master plan as the funding becomes available.
Service Options
Ma i nta r n Current Arrangements and Partnersh i ps
GHCSD is a member of TVRPD with certain programs offered in Meadowbrook Park, a facility owned and operated by WRPD within the CSD boundaries. This park is home to the TVRPD Youth Baseball Program which includes tee-ball and coach pitch leagues for kids from four to six years old. The park has a multitude of other amenities including the other public dog park in the Tehachapi area. 47 lPage
Residents benefit from "in-district" registration prices for adult and youth leagues as well as other TVRPD programs offered within the district which also includes the City of Tehachapiand unincorporated portions of the County of Kern. By default, GHCSD's involvement with WRPD sets up partnership opportunities for their residents in facilities both inside and outside of the GHCSD boundaries. Given the close proximity to WRPD facilities located in the City of Tehachapi, residents benefit from a multitude of recreational opportunities within a short distance of residential homes. lncrease Contracts and Partnerships with Surrounding Agencies Given the involvement with WRPD and the other agencies within the district, GHCSD does not have many opportunities to increase those partnerships, other than potentially working with WRPD and other member agencies to guide the programming of any new recreational facilities that might be constructed at the Golden Hills Nature Park.
Potential grant-fund sharing opportunities, should they become available, with GHCSD and WRPD could assist in the construction of new recreation facilities with an agreement on maintenance budgeting and operations.
Other Service Del ivery Alternatives
Golden Hills CSD has been active in their recreation planning over the last several years in both the creation of the Nature Park Master Plan, but in exploration of alternative through their recreation committee.
a
a
a
Golden Hills could follow the lead of Bear Valley and Stallion Springs and start their own recreation department. However, without a funding mechanism relating to recreation, the property tax collected would be insufficient for staffing and facility needs and would also increase the costs for residents to participate in WRPD programs. ln addition, aside from the Nature Park, GHCSD does not own any other recreation facilities within their boundaries making offering organized leagues difficult without building new recreation facilities which speaks to prior funding limitations.
Due to geographic proximity, Golden Hills could partner with the City of Tehachapi within a City owned and operated parks and recreation department. However, given the current state of funding, including developer impact fees charged for capacity-related projects in the City and TVRPD, creating an impact fee fund mechanism with the County of Kern outside or even with a non-existent TVRPD would be incredibly challenging given the oversight of the County of Kern.
Since Golden Hills and the City of Tehachapi were two of the founding members of TVRPD, this would be a long-drawn out and potentially voter-backed requirement process that would detract from the goal of offering better recreation services and facilities to residents.
Conducive joint operations of programs and assets with WRPD, the City of Tehachapi and all surrounding facilities. This option provides the opportunity to eventually move towards some organized recreational activities at any newly constructed Golden Hills facilities without the complicated process and costs of a stand-alone recreation department. 48 lPage
Final Finding and Recommendation: As revenue sources become available, Golden Hills CSD should continue to focus on "value-added" recreation opportunities, facilities that are not as large or complex as those operated by WRPD, but focused more on family and active adult recreation.
These type of facilities allow for minimal costs to develop (grants, unrestricted revenue), and can be maintained through current maintenance agreements for minimal cost increases. These include the development of low-cost recreation at the Nature Park such as disc golf, expanded biking and equestrian trails and more. This approach keeps TVRPD as the main organized recreation provider while supplementing their work with additional facilities and opportunities as appropriate to meet the demands of changing demographics within the Golden Hills community.
Bear Valley Springs Association
Bear Valley has a unique funding model that covers much of the costs to operate their vast number of facilities and provide recreational services to residents within the private, gated community. While BVSA was non-responsive to any request for information, budget documents showed a substantial amount of revenue generated through annual homeowners association fees, which is required for all property owners within the community and covers all of the association's facilities (not just recreation) tVaintain Current Arrangements and Partnerships
The Bear Valley Springs Association is well-funded with their current arrangement through their association dues that are paid annually by residents. This fee is lower than most associations with the number of amenities and facilities provided. lt would be prudent to conduct a study of the association fees with a master plan of maintenance and expansion item priorities being factored in to determine if the current rate is sustainable to meet future goals.
Due to associate fees, Bear Valley Springs Association is in a much better position than other small recreation departments to continue operating independently, void of outside partnerships if status quo satisfies residents.
California leads the nation with over 4 million homes falling within a home owners association, the average monthly fee for an HOA in California is 5387 according to a 2024 study by Doorloope. That accounts for 5q,644 per year on average.
ln fiscal year 2023-2024 BVSA residents were charged 51,932 per year per parcello which accounts for 59% below the state average. Additionally, for fiscal year 2024-2025, those costs are increasing to e (March, 2024) Doorloop, David Bitton. https://www.doorloop.com/blog/hoa-statistics ,o (May 20231 Beor Vatley Springs Associotion, 2023-2024 Fee Schedule. https://www.bvsa.orelposts/2022-2023- assessments
49 lPage
52,052 per year, a 5% increase from the prior year11, and 55% below the state average. ln fiscal year 2023-2024 recreation received 76% of the allocation of those fees.lo Other Service Delivery Opportunities
As mentioned, the association fees allow BVSA to continue operations as currently established.
However, with their willingness to accept entries into programs and leagues for those living outside of their boundaries, the following could be useful as the recreation department moves fonvard. o Explore outside partnership with geographic neighbor Stallion Springs. This could include an "indistrict" enrollment discount in exchange for either facility usage in Stallion Springs or simply as a promotional opportunity to reach an area with more kids and families than BVSA's current demographics serve.
o Bear Valley Springs could join TVRPD, however investments into facilities and recreational programming would most likely suffer if organized leagues are no longer operating in Bear Valley and assisting in the funding of the facility maintenance.
Final Finding and Recommendation
The Bear Valley Springs Association is positioned to continue operating independently. With a population that includes only 18% of residents under the ago of 18, and with 32% being 65 or older,12 there could be a challenge to continue to seek young people to participate in organized programs without a community partnership with an outside agency. Bear Valley Springs has the largest population of residents over 65 years of age than any other in the Tehachapi area. BVS does have several senior targeted programs available, but continuing to evolve to meet the demands of a large segment of the aging population would be on par with national trends in parks and recreation.* Bear Valley does have aging facilities and some that are being renovated such as the pool deck in 2024.
To ensure that the population growth meets the demands placed on facilities, maintenance and operations, a study of the association fees and their applicability to either a recreation master plan or a facilities maintenance plan would be a good step in ensuring future solvency of the small recreation district and the large amount of active recreation facilities.
As long as association fees keep pace with the costs of providing recreation services and maintenance, operating independently should remain feasible for the foreseeable future. BVSA should continue to raise association fees in accordance with their annual audits and facility maintenance needs. Given the aging nature of some of the facilities, a master plan for both improvements, expansion or replacement should be considered.

SECTION 1,1,: FINAL ANALYSIS
The Tehachapi area is comprised of several different communities, each with unique features, demographics and recreational needs. Many needs center around facilities being close to homes or within reasonable driving distances for active families.
While having three small separate recreation entities(WRPD, BVSA, SSCSD), along with six separate politicaljurisdictions (City, Golden Hills, Bear Valley, Stallion Springs, Mountain Meadows, Alpine Forest, County of Kern), there are ways to complement one another with joint facility use agreements, cobranded leagues and tournaments and other forward-thinking solutions.
While limitations exist on community services districts' ability to generate additional revenue outside of property taxes, registration fees, sponsorships or special assessments that require voter approval, there is a model to utilize Tehachapi's uniqueness into a strength.
Each entity involved with WRPD (City, Golden Hills)should continue to develop small, value-added recreational facilities that are funded with special (grant) or unrestricted general funds. Once complete, allowing TVRPD to continue as the organized recreation manager is the most efficient operation until a time where impact fees from growth allow for expansion of existing recreational facilities.
Procuring grants tends to be cyclical and unreliable due to state budget limitations and the trend that requires many grant recipients to serve either a population below the poverty line or a marginalized group in society. Oftentimes these grants are not based on needs of a community or the likelihood of success of a finished project, but instead upon race, socio-economic factors and poverty. Tehachapi has positioned itself well, but most of the communities in the Tehachapi area do not qualify for grantfunded projects as the income level tends to be higher than most state funding sources are willing to accept.
Collaboration between agencies should increase, both across political boundaries and within parks and recreation providers. Regular meetings between recreation entities should be established to explore potential cross-promotional opportunities, address funding challenges, ensure programming synergy and maximize the usage of each entities facilities for the greater benefit of the residents in the entire Tehachapi area. Operating within a bubble for a recreation agency does not make much sense when the customers of each agency are still participating in events, leagues and programs offered by each entity.
Some of these ideas could be discussed with regular meetings of managers of each recreation organization to compare notes, avoid conflicting programming, explore opportunities for partnership, facility use agreements and revenue sharing if appropriate. Since residents of each community are participating in leagues and activities across a variety of organizations, managers should be communicating to assist with promotion and participation.
This is an opportunity for TVRPD to lead the collaboration efforts as the largest recreation entity in the area and bring some of the smaller entities together to discuss partnership opportunities and spreading out financial contributions among the various groups.
52 lPage
Smaller recreation entities that are struggling with financing should seriously consider their long-term solvency and if their customers would be better served if they joined forces with another recreation provider for a more stable financial future. The funding mechanism for a community services district has been greatly limited due to the passing of Proposition 13 in California, which limits the reassessment of property values. Each CSD was established prior to the passing of Proposition 13 in 1978, which rolled back most real estate assessments to 1975 values, limited the property tax rate to 1% and limited the annual assessment increase to ZYo, along with costs of funding any approved bond initiative. That reality, means that many community services districts must address the reality of those funding limitations to ensure core services such as water, wastewater and public works are delivered, leaving recreation as the lowest priority with limited revenues. ln most cases the costs of delivering services within the State of California are higher than the 2% increase limits.
Tehachapi's demographics and political considerations do not warrant one agency in charge of every recreation program or facility, but some agencies should consider their long-term solvency; consolidation between agencies could be an option in the foreseeable future. 53 lPage

INTRODUCT!ON
The Golden Hills Nature Park Complex Master Plan (Master Plan) is the next step in the evolution of recreational and parks activity in the Golden Hills community. The purpose of this document is to describe this unique mountain community and its history of recreation and parks development, and to outline the next steps in meeting the recreational aspirations of the community.
The diligence and efforts put forth to develop the Golden Hills Nature Park (Nature Park) by previous Board and staff have established the framework on which this proposed plan is built. With this same diligence, fiscal responsibility, and focus, the current Board of Directors offers this Master Plan to stay in step with the recreational desires of the steadily growing Golden Hills community.
This Master Plan will provide an overview of current Nature Park recreation and parks services offered to the Golden Hills community in relation to identified unmet needs and gaps in service. ln addition, it provides a framework for decision-making over the next 1S-year vision period, with priorities to consider for implementation based on the availability and constraints of the current and future general fund budget, as well as opportunities for partnerships and alternative funding resources.
This Master Plan serves as a functional guide to address community values, future needs, and priorities for parks and recreation facilities, programs, and services specifically within the Nature Park as well as the Golden Hills community as a whole . The planning process will integrate information from recent and/or current, board meetings, planning meetings, community to community conversations, and surrounding agency suggestions about how, where, and why the Golden Hills Community Services 5TlPage

District (GHCSD) is developing and how key attributes such as parks, recreation, open spaces, and trails need to be created, improved upon, and incorporated into this planning effort.
ABOUT GOLDEN HILLS
The community of Golden Hills lies in the unincorporated area of Kern County bordering the growing city of Tehachapi to the East, access to a major freeway to the north and the opportunity to experience all four seasons throughout the course of a year. The abundance of open spaces and natural environments provide a quaint mountain town feel for the residents of Golden Hills where the outdoors can be easily enjoyed.

CURRENT RECREATION AND PARKS INFORMAT]ON
There are currently two recreational areas located within Golden Hills: Meadowbrook park and the Nature Park. Each park offers a limited variety of activities, for both passive and active participants.
N/EADOWBROOK PARK
Meadowbrook is the only active recreation facility in Golden Hills. Meadowbrook is an eightacre community park offering two playgrounds, exercise equipment, swings, a large pavilion, dog park, bike pump track, softball field, restrooms, and open grassy areas. The park is open sunrise to sunset.
Meadowbrook park sits on the Eastern-most boundary of the Golden Hills. Residents living near the Western and Northern boundary have to travel to the far side of Golden Hills to enjoy the activities offered at this facility. ln contrast, the Nature Park is located in the center of Golden Hills which decreases travel distances for the majority of residents. The distance traveled to the Nature Park, as opposed to traveling to Meadowbrook park from residences on the West boundary, is decreased by 35 % while the distance traveled from residents near the Northern boundary is decreased by a3%.
Providing increased accessibility for all residents living in Golden Hills to quality parks and recreation activities is a key element this Mater Plan addresses.
Meadowbrook is operated and maintained by the Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Parks District (TVRPD). While the recreational area, with its current footprint of eight acres, offers a variety of activities, the current Golden Hills population of over 10,000 residents within is underserved. ln contrast, the available area proposed for future development on the East side of the Nature Park encompasses more than 92 acres integrating both active and passive activities.

GOLDEN HILLS NATURE PARK
The Golden Hills Nature Park, formally known as the Golden Hills Country Club (GHCC), was purchased by the District in2OL4. Prior to purchase, this property had been unused since the early 1990's and thus the buildings and surrounding fields were unmaintained property. The entire property consisting of 151.48 acres is located off of Woodford Tehachapi Road in the center of Golden Hills. This Master Plan addresses that portion of the Nature Park known as the Nature Park East Property comprising 92.52 acres of wide-open fields and meadows, large stands of trees, seasonal creeks, wetlands, a small lake, and riparian habitats. A visitor today could regularly see deer, bobcats, coyotes, various species of birds, and migrating waterfowl. The Nature Park West Property, while valuable to the community, is not addressed in this Master Plan, but will become a focus for improvements after the completion of the objectives outlined in this plan.
Residents from all over the Tehachapi area have been utilizing the Nature Park for walking, jogging, bicycle riding, horseback riding, and bird watching during the past 30 years. With the purchase of the property and implementation of the original Strategic Plan, fire roads were created andlor rehabilitated, and trails were purposely designed to accommodate walking, jogging, and bicycle and horseback riding. Maintaining these improvements over the past five years has allowed the District to trackthe costs associated with maintenance, providing valuable data as the District looks to incorporate future enhancements.
ln 2OL2, a standing Land Committee was created to help the District with land-related tasks and toreachouttothepublicforinputonlanduse. WiththepurchaseoftheGHCCpropertyin2014,many residents asked, "What was going to become of the property?" Several workshops were held to gather 61 lPage
information and hear ideas for future GHCSD land use. An overwhelming majority of ideas were directed toward the GHCC property.
The 2015 GHCSD Land Committee meetings focused on gathering and organizing the public's ideas as to what the old golf course could become. Once outlined, the committee made a presentation to the GHCSD Board in January 2015 to share the goals and objectives for upcoming Land Committee meetings. With this concentrated information and feedback from the community it was a logical next step to form an ad hoc committee. Mindful of these responsibilities and realizing that GHCSD could not meet the public's future expectations without a plan, the GHCSD Land Committee initiated a strategic planning process.
The planning process began in December of 2016. Planners first reviewed themes identified in the 2014 and 2015 GHCSD Land Committee's many public workshops. WRPD's Master Plan and strategic plans from Kern County Parks were analyzed as well. The responses on the questionnaires, workshops and information generated by focus groups included hundreds of valuable suggestions and insights. ln late December, the GHCSD Land Committee reviewed and consolidated allthe public's suggested ideas, goals, and objectives for 2015. These were presented to the GHCSD Board of Directors at the January 2016 Board of Directors meeting for discussion and approval.
A Strategic Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on July 27,2OL5. Addressed within that Strategic Plan were 7 Critical Success Factors:
Establish a Name for the old Golden Hills Country Club, Add Signage and Create Public Awareness
Create Barriers to Prevent lllegal Off-Road Vehicle Use ldentify Fire Access Roads and Non-Motorized Multiuse Trails lntroduce Mowing Standards
Acquire a Vegetation Management Plan
lnvestigate Rehabilitating Tom Sawyer Lake
Financial Management
All seven of the Critical Success Factors were accomplished between 2016 and 2O2t and ultimately helped GHCSD achieve the visions set forth in the original Strategic Plan. The Golden Hills Nature Park, as it has been named, provides a variety of passive activities provided by the guidance set forth in the original Strategic Plan. ln addition to this list, other improvements were made such as the

investment in rehabilitating Tom Sawyer lake, including a direct water source to fill the lake from a GHCSD well located in a Salvage Area which greatly decreases the monetary costs to fill the lake, installation of picnic and park benches, informational signage, storm water drain rehabilitation and debris removal.
The original Strategic Plan was not intended to list all possibilities for the Nature Park during the five years of implementation. lt focused primarily on securing the property, establishing safe ways for the community to interact and experience nature, and for the District to calculate the real costs of maintaining the Nature Park. This document, as well as integrated agency plans, is intended to build upon the accomplishments of the past and consider additional recreation activities envisioned to benefit more and more residents of the Golden Hills community.
CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Parks and recreation services are often cited as one of the most important factors in surveys questioning the livability of a community. Agencies across the nation recognize the connection between health and parks, including the National Recreation and Park Association, the National Park Service, the Trust for Public Lands, the Centers for Disease Control, and the American Planning association, among others. Public parks provide gathering spaces for families and social groups, as well as for individuals of all ages and economic status, regardless of the ability to pay for access. Recreational programs and events assist in creating opportunities for the community to gather and for individuals to have a sense of belonging and importance.

The previous poll question is from an online survey conducted during the month of December 2021. The results convey an important message; the Nature Park in its current capacity fits the needs of less than half of the residents polled. This is not to conclude that the current amenities offered are lacking in any way. On the contrary, the current amenities should be preserved and improved upon in conjunction with the proposed expansion of other services in an attempt to bring more recreational options to a larger proportion of residents.

As shown above, the total number of water connections continue to grow throughout the GHCSD indicating a steady increase in population. After partaking in an extensive audit of stand-by charges for the GHCSD's vacant properties, staff has determined that the Golden Hills community, as of 2023, has achieved a 78% build out rate. That means that there are over 800 residential and commercial lots available for development in the coming years. Following the data provided in the table E

GOALS
As conveyed throughout this document, the objective of the Golden Hills Nature Park Complex Master Plan is to enhance and expand the existing Nature Park to maximize its use, create a multi-year strategic plan with public supported design concepts, improve accessibility for all park users to both active and passive activity locations, and enhance the existing features of the park to maximize their potential.
This Master Plan takes into consideration park improvements that would expand current recreational offerings, complement the natural environment presently enjoyed at the Nature Park, remain sensitive to accessibility improvements, and protect environmentally sensitive areas. The goal is not to change the current foundation, but to add additional layers designed to offer a broader spectrum of recreational activities to more and more residents of the GHCSD community.
The following factors must be considered with the implementation of a Master Plan a Safety

The efforts of the GHCSD Board of Directors, the members of the multiple committees, GHCSD staff and the many volunteers within the Golden Hills community have aided in establishing the Golden Hills Nature Park as a recreational asset the residents of the Tehachapi area enjoy on a daily basis. The Nature Park is a blessing to the community of Golden Hills and the GHCSD's responsibilities to care for the land are clear. Providing improved fire safety and opportunities to interact with nature through a non-motorized Multiuse Trail System have set the framework for future endeavors. The community can be proud that they participated in this planning process knowing that their efforts today will help create an enhanced living experience for the future.
The future vision of the Nature Park will build upon these previous efforts to create a multi-use multi-activity level park complex that utilizes the beauty and aesthetics of the current Nature Park as T0 lDage

VISION
envisioned in the original Strategic Plan while considering new active recreation areas, and ultimately culminating in the construction of a new GHCSD office, maintenance building, and community center that all ages, activity levels, and demographics within the entire Tehachapi community can enjoy yearround. lt will become the focal point of the community of Golden Hills as well as a recreation destination for the rest ofthe Tehachapi area.
lmprovement elements currently identified include:
o Grading of two large pads to create a foundation upon which allfuture projects will be built; o Tennis court rehabilitation;
r Pickleball court/Basketball court installation;
o Multi use turf grass fields;
o Age inclusive playground equipment;
o Public use restrooms;
o Disc golf field;
o Multiple pavilions;
. Dog park;
r New entrance and parking area for passive activities located on Westwood Blvd; o New District office and maintenance building;
o Community center;
o lnterconnecting road system with parking spaces allowing inclusive access to all activities.
This Master Plan sets forth a vision that both passive and active recreation enthusiasts can participate in activities simultaneously without unintentional interference. As outlined below with the active and passive recreation areas delineated, the canvas that is the current Nature Park, designed with the goal of inclusivity, can accommodate all facets of a robust parks and recreation departmenU soccer games and nature hikes, mountain bike riding and pickleball matches, picnics at the playground and horseback riding, all of which will have a place on the Nature Park. 71 lPage

OVERALL STRATEGY
The GHCSD Board of Directors made a pivotal decision during its July 2023 meeting when they approved the Tom Sawyer Lake Fill Project. This project will ensure that the Tom Sawyer lake and surrounding area will always have adequate resources to maintain this critical asset at optimal levels.
Tom Sawyer Lake is the keystone of the Master Plan. Safeguarding lake levels allows the GHCSD freedom in developing new recreational activities located around the lake. Pavilions and playgrounds are now feasible and will greatly improve the overall enjoyment of that facility.
GHCSD has already spent resources on acquiring knowledge and expertise during its standing Facilities Committee planning sessions. Building plans for a new District office, maintenance building and community center have been designed with the intent of positioning them on the upper pad of the Nature Park where the old golf course clubhouse once stood. This location is ideal for operational activities as well as community functions, ease of public access, and establishing a centralized presence within Golden Hills, all designed to increase safety and security.
Although the attempted relocation of District facilities may have ultimately turned out to be the cart before the horse, the lessons learned, and knowledge gained have laid the groundwork for this Master Plan. A major goal of this plan is to bring the entire 15-year vision to light; to place on paper what has been imagined in the mind. By visualizing the completed project, the District can now pull the individual pieces apart and start placing them into appropriate priority phases. Understanding that the relocation of the current District facilities may be the final stage of this Master Plan, it is logical to create a foundation in the beginning to accommodate these facilities at the end. ln the development of this Master Plan, GHCSD has made every effort to seek input from the Board of Directors, Finance Committee and public. Although all of the strategies are important to the long-term vision, only a certain number can be pursued during any given year over the 15-year planning process. Those that are addressed initially will be placed in the appropriate building phases.
PHASE 1
As discussed previously in this Master Plan, the initial phase encompassing the next two fiscal years is comprised of securing a reliable and cost-effective water source for Tom Sawyer lake, beautifying the perimeter of Tom Sawyer lake with trees and shrubs, adding stationary fitness equipment to the existing trail system, and facilitating the administrative and environmental processes required for public works projects. Emphasis will be on establishing an all-encompassing design and T3 lPage
implementation structure to allow seamless progression throughout the entire scope of work presented in this Master Plan.
PHASE 2
Phase two will address the creation of a foundational footprint with which the rest of the project can be built upon. Two separate tiers are expected to be graded; one for the District office, maintenance building, parking, and community center and the second for playgrounds, parking, restrooms, and turf grass areas. Also included is the addition of a disc golf course, complete with 9 tee boxes and 9 baskets.

Separation of active and passive recreation is paramount to the co-use of this facility. An improved access point and parking area located off of Westwood Blvd on the south end of the Nature Park will be built for passive activities. This point was selected due to the center turn lane and reduced traffic allowing for easier ingress and egress for vehicles and trailers. A covered pavilion along with a public restroom will bring tremendous value to this location as well as increased enjoyment from all who utilize it. This new passive area parking facility will allow current users of the Nature Park uninterrupted access to the park while construction progresses near Tom Sawyer lake. Design concepts are shown below.

Phase three will last approximately five to eight years and consist of a multitude of park improvements. The tennis courts will go through a rehabilitation process including the installation of a new multi-purpose surface, nets, and perimeter fence repair. The metal building structure will be demolished, and the existing concrete slab turned into pickleball and basketball courts. Turf grass approximately one acre in size will be installed on the South side of Tom Sawyer lake along with parking and a covered metal pavilion for events and activities.
Multi use turf grass fields will be installed south of the pickleball/basketball facility and east of the tennis courts, A public use restroom will be built large enough to accommodate the completed park's full attendance expectations. A dog park will be created to the East of the current metal building along the south shore of Tom Sawyer lake. Benches and shade coverings along with play equipment for the pups will provide an entertaining experience for pets and owners alike. An age-appropriate playground will be installed adjacent to the pickleball/basketball court for the younger members of the community to enjoy. Design concepts shown below.

The goal of relocating the current GHCSD facilities is to create a dynamic hub of operations centrally located in the heart of the Golden Hills community. To facilitate this endeavor, GHCSD will need to sell its current facilities and use those proceeds toward the new construction costs. These figures have been shown in figure 1.1 during fiscal years 2030 and 2031. The new GHCSD office and maintenance building will be connected allowing for more efficient use of staff, better overall communication, and improved oversight of the day-to-day maintenance operations within the Nature Park.
The community center is designed to accommodate a multitude of operations and activities ranging from event rooms and commercial kitchen, public restrooms, indoor gymnasium, outdoor patios, and event pavilions. Weddings will be welcomed along with community wide events and Legend

The final product as illustrated below depicts the completion of a multi-year effort of the District and the public that positions the Golden Hills Community Services District as one of the premier communities within the Tehachapi mountains.
Several studies performed by universities and conservation organizations have found that living in close proximity to a park will generally boost home prices by SToto 2OYo. Residents who live near parks or proposed parks, should not only be happy about this phenomenon, they should be one of the driving forces to create parks and recreation facilities a reality. The accumulation of a well-rounded, highly efficient, and all-encompassing Parks and Recreation Division, which transformed a dilapidated golf course into a multi-purpose park, will result in unprecedented value added to the residents of Golden Hills.

ACTION STEPS AND TIMELINES
Pictured below is a 15-year snapshot of proposed improvements and the corresponding fiscal year in which they could be implemented. Another important goal of this Master Plan is to create an organic framework with which the Board, staff, and the public can utilize to move priority projects around based on new and improved financial data as well as increased public demand for particular activities.

FINANCIAL PLAN
The projects outlined in this Master Plan will be solely funded by the GHCSD General Fund account along with additional revenue streams that become available. Currently the General Fund account receives its revenues from a number of avenues including property taxes, facility rents received, land leases, franchise fees, interest accrued, profits received from the sale of land, and grant proceeds.
This Master Plan further intends to clarify that revenues received from GHCSD customers through payment of their water bills will not be utilized in any capacity to pay for any of the proposals laid out in this plan. Money received from water bills is deposited into specified Water Funds and can only be utilized under fixed conditions for distinct purposes, none of which include Parks and recreation functions.
The GHCSD recognizes that grant funding for Master Plan projects is not guaranteed but must be continuously and aggressively pursued. With that possibility in mind, all projects have been broken into a phased approach in order to ensure that the pace at which the overall vision materializes can be increased if new alternative funding sources are found or decreased if unforeseen circumstances arise.
GHCSD also understands that certain elements may change from their initially proposed priority levels with new input from all stakeholders. lt is imperative that all improvements be continually reorganized with renewed community requests for features and facilities.
Below is an outline of the projected Golden Hills Nature Park General Fund budget. All revenues are based on current figures and anticipated future increases. Expenses are a combination of current expenses as well as anticipated Capital lmprovement Projects as outlined in the previous pages of this Master Plan.

ROLES AN D RESPONSIBILIT!ES
The General Manager is responsible for the successful implementation of this Master Plan. This plan is designed to provide important guidance in the development of annual budget requests and volunteer projects. Each year, during the budget creation cycle, the General Manager and the Board will also identify the high priority strategies to be implemented in the coming year and outline how they will be achieved. The Yearly Phase Plan will be submitted to the Finance Committee for review.
Throughout the year the General Manager will take every opportunity to keep the goals outlined in this Master Plan in front of staff and the Board through monthly reports and other measures.
The public will be updated during regular and special Board meetings. As the Yearly Phase Plan is being developed, an Annual Report will also be prepared. The report will assess the success of implementing the Master Plan, other accomplishments from the prior fiscal year, setbacks, lessons learned, and future plans proposed for the upcoming fiscal year.

CONCLUSION
Continuing development of the Golden Hills Nature Park begins with a vision. This Master Plan is intended to present a clear and flexible strategy that staff believes meets the community's needs and is SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound). lnput from the Board of Directors and the public will be critical in determining the current and future expectations of the community. Collaboration among all parties will ensure future success.
Honest and open-minded discussions will determine the financial resources necessary to implement various phases of the Master Plan, the types of activities suitable for the Nature Park, and the on-going maintenance costs (including staff). As discussion and analysis continues, key performance indicators will be developed to ensure the plan is followed and that financial accountability is transparent to both the Board and the public. Ad hoc committees may be necessary to address specific items of interest.
Staff is pleased to present this Draft Golden Hills Nature Park Complex Master Plan and looks forward to working with the Board and the public to make the Nature Park a continued focal point in Golden Hills that the community will enjoy for years to come. 84 lPage
