OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER July 22, 2016 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Council Alan Tandy, City Manager AT General Information Notable Items On August 2, the Bakersfield Police Department will hold National Night Out at the Bakersfield College. National Night Out is a free event that encourages the community to support local anti-crime programs. For more information, please see the attached flyer. There will be an item on next week s Board of Supervisors agenda to consider placing a sales tax measure on November 2016 ballot. The joint request from the Sheriff and County Fire Chief is for a one cent sales tax to be levied on transactions within the unincorporated areas of the County to mitigate for the budget cuts the County is considering. The report indicates that the funds would be used for public safety purposes in the unincorporated areas of the County and would be distributed among the Sheriff s Office, Kern County Fire Department, Probation Department, District Attorney s Office and Public Defender s Office. At this point, purchases made within the incorporated areas of the County, including the City of Bakersfield, will not be subject to the measure, should it be placed on the ballot and approved. As this is a dedicated sales tax, it will require 2/3rd voter approval to pass. Our staff will continue to monitor the discussions. The controller for Planz Spray Park has been installed and is now operational! The hours will remain the same as other Spray Parks: 1:00 5:00 p.m., seven days a week through Labor Day. The City has received many requests for this Spray Park and is happy to see it open. The Jehovah s Witnesses Watchtower Conventions return to the Rabobank Arena for the next four weekends, beginning today. This is the largest group that meets in Bakersfield and local hotels and restaurants will be busy. This year, the group increased the number of its Bakersfield conventions from six to seven. The dates of the remaining events are July 22-24, July 29-31, August 5-7, and August 12-14.
Page 2 General Information July 22, 2016 Members of the Bakersfield Police Department s Explorer Post #521 joined more than 3,000 other Law Enforcement Explorers from across the United States at the 2016 National Law Enforcement Exploring Conference held in Flagstaff, AZ. Twelve BPD Explorers competed in 6 team scenarios, including White Collar Crime, Bomb Threat, Crime Scene Search, Traffic Accident Investigation, Arrest and Search, and Crime Prevention. Each team competed against nearly 100 other teams from across the United States for each scenario. A team from the BPD Explorer Post #521 was awarded 5th place for Crime Prevention. We congratulate the Explorer Post and thank the Post Officer Advisors for their work and dedication. As many are aware, a collaborative was formed with VOICED, GET Bus and the City of Bakersfield to improve access ramps at bus stops throughout the City. VOICED assists in the identification of locations, GET Bus provides funding and the City uses its staff members and other resources to install the access ramps. This has been a great community partnership that the City has been happy to be a part of. Last Friday, the Independent Living Center of Kern County held an open house to educate people on the Americans with Disabilities Act. Staff was at the event to obtain citizen feedback as we further identify bus stops and other areas throughout the City that are in need of access ramps.
