City hosts described the bollards as steel posts recessed several feet into the ground and rising about four feet above ground to protect event areas from vehicle incursions and to improve downtown safety during gatherings. The newscast said bollards are part of an ongoing project this summer.

A contractor is finishing new fencing and entrance work at the rodeo grounds to improve the site’s appearance for events such as the Bad Bulls Rodeo, city hosts said.

City staff described alley surfacing work as grinding out about three inches of existing surface on many alleys and replacing those areas with asphalt grindings; staff said the grindings will come from future roadwork materials the city will reuse.

The newscast noted the City Council held a special budget meeting on June 2 and approved a balanced budget that city staff said is forecast for the next five years. The hosts credited City Manager Greg Barrett for the city’s approach to fiscal management, saying the city is operating with a balanced budget and reinvesting in infrastructure. The newscast also said the city’s jobs page links to GovernmentJobs.com and that the city currently lists two openings in the police department, with additional positions possible as the budget is implemented.

The newscast did not provide vote tallies or the formal motion text for the June 2 budget approval; it described the outcome as an approved and balanced budget with a five‑year forecast.

Residents seeking details on project timelines, bid documents or the adopted budget text were advised to consult official city materials and City Council records.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Tehachapi Newscast: May Recap","oneSentenceSummary","City officials said new downtown bollards have been installed for pedestrian safety, a contractor is finishing new fencing at the rodeo grounds, alley surfaces are being ground and refilled using asphalt grindings salvaged from future roadwork, and the City Council approved a balanced budget in a June 2 special meeting with a five‑year forecast.","taxTitle","taxId",0,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":74,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":75,"_41":76,"_43":77,"_45":78,"_47":79,"_49":80,"_51":81,"_53":82,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":83,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":84,"_67":-5,"_68":69,"_70":-5,"_71":56,"_72":56},6526894,"Friends of the Tehachapi Depot mark 15 years since reopening after fire",58,355335,413385,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681875-9f3168d021242bbdbcc1fc64a959aeef&start=355&end=413","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681875-9f3168d021242bbdbcc1fc64a959aeef/thumbnail_355335.jpg","/articles/6526894/Friends-of-the-Tehachapi-Depot-mark-15-years-since-reopening-after-fire","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526894-2e95edac7067fb56450de4f1654ccbab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187350&Signature=EcJ4xinlEK2i7FjN085dlV69G~tRjbRwcO56jKps5HyiA9GRem8VuKs6s7Cc8ss3OwQC9~balcYHeiAX45h8Fumfm8YPNwU-ncbjZ6Zd5M9SY6UH22lP6VS9dxJbNxOWZOJMn~O9HlEQ2WBxyIP6Jqa68HiPdoy6WA485sNbV18-HNZJC45m806SeLEW36u~UsKwJ1cvG1Oq9SbfEMBlg6~l1vDUf-eIo3HdvvLjvShda-RLM0s~VQAZVlkscxhKje1Owip6rsIO4Lv8qFsyGxo-VUu1entMlbymU4FNqEK76qQ~lfk-7RoGvBHUnZn5mvuHHE~pnqGJ-Nq6KB6UGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Friends of the Tehachapi Depot and city volunteers are celebrating the 15th anniversary of the depot’s reopening, which the newscast said occurred on June 5, 2010, after a volunteer‑led restoration.

Diana Bergey, representing Friends of the Tehachapi Depot, recounted the depot’s history: volunteers negotiated with the railroad and worked for about two years to remodel the 1904 building to turn it into a museum. She said a week before the planned opening people playing with fireworks burned the building to the ground, and the community and city later completed the project. “We are celebrating the fifteenth year that the Tehachapi Depot has been open since the fire,” Bergey said.

Bergey also referenced the depot’s earlier role as a passenger train stop to Bakersfield and noted volunteers’ role in prompting city action when the building fell into disrepair. The newscast said the depot will mark the anniversary this weekend and that the event will include remarks from Friends of the Tehachapi Depot and mentions of Union Pacific’s Franktown USA in connection with other depot news.

The newscast did not provide a full event schedule or list of speakers beyond the Friends group. For more details, organizers said to consult Friends of the Tehachapi Depot event notices.","Volunteers and Friends of the Tehachapi Depot will mark the 15th anniversary of the depot's public reopening (June 5, 2010) this weekend; volunteers described the building's 1904 origins, a pre‑opening fire and the two‑year volunteer remodeling effort that preceded reopening.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":-5,"_68":69,"_70":-5,"_71":56,"_72":56},6526899,"Tehachapi Farmers Market returns June 5 with 39 vendors; downtown entertainment zone permits on‑site beer and wine",90,29500,120080,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681875-9f3168d021242bbdbcc1fc64a959aeef&start=29&end=120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681875-9f3168d021242bbdbcc1fc64a959aeef/thumbnail_29500.jpg","/articles/6526899/Tehachapi-Farmers-Market-returns-June-5-with-39-vendors-downtown-entertainment-zone-permits-onsite-beer-and-wine","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526899-778a68c0927d92b11f8dbc4871e95329/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187350&Signature=DQzDkUY0ApXrmVw3nYlBQu~6ZcoE1pzGy5Z6IW6Bky1cxGV7Bv5~FMEwgMbTEwvEw0eZcjjn3NPaece4xX~pjxFO3XaEBJ6X-DRB-Hd~sxSvWzkTwrV6fnSRknUdbC0RC3sLf3wPfPruvENbjoKOV3OoVbRqvAaHL8J-fnR~rLIIH5r2X8bkVCrKVVE54pxhI7QJv1Z8wSi7QzD~X0Q0jnnby9aSYlpDH7AC0XoFRu2k7N2Ym3DRPKYX-9lYM1EXhvy0B8IWvvRKE9bCT1hBqwqpdHI7S-AM~0rJ9cuRE-jjK4j6~2FSvs76K7kzngZ-cz5zRZfIAj8qZkc4V7~2wg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tehachapi Farmers Market will return Thursday, June 5, running 4–7 p.m. each Thursday through Aug. 14 on Green Street, city hosts said on the City of Tehachapi newscast.

Jessica Garner, the market manager, said, “We are expecting 39 vendors this year ranging from farmers to craft vendors and all sorts of foods.” She said the market will mix returning vendors with new vendors selling items such as açaí bowls, bread and a range of drinks.

The market will feature live music every week. Organizers named several performers scheduled this summer, including Tom Carlson, Matthew Maldonado, Grandpa and the Roadkill, Christian Parker, Cheryl Bain and Allison Reynolds.

The city also described a new downtown “entertainment zone” that allows alcohol consumption at special events inside a defined area but only when purchased from participating businesses. Staff member Corey Costello said, “The entertainment zone allows for consumption of alcohol during special events inside the entertainment zone area. However, it is not an open container free for all, but you must purchase it from one of the establishments inside the entertainment zone that’s opted in. You’ll be given a wristband, and your alcohol will be served in a plastic cup so you can go outside and join the festivities.”

City staff described the entertainment zone boundaries as running from Curry East to Robinson and from Tehachapi Boulevard North to F Street, extending just beyond the alley behind F Street to include adjacent businesses. Organizers said certain events must be preapproved by the City Council before alcohol may be allowed under the entertainment zone rules; organizers cited the Green Street Get Down Apple Festival and chamber events such as Thunder on the Mountain as examples of events that can be preapproved.

Organizers also plan rotating vendor booths so market visitors will see a slightly different vendor mix from week to week. The market manager said the downtown activation is intended to support local merchants, noting retailers often extend hours during events.

Ticketing or admission was not mentioned; organizers said food and beverage purchases will be made from participating vendors and establishments inside the entertainment zone. Safety and event logistics such as bollards and other downtown infrastructure work were discussed elsewhere on the newscast.

For more information on vendor lists, performance schedules and any event approvals, city officials said to consult city event notices and the market manager’s announcements.","The Tehachapi Farmers Market starts Thursday, June 5, running Thursdays through Aug. 14 from 4–7 p.m. Downtown organizers say 39 vendors, rotating booths, live music and a newly designated entertainment zone that allows on‑site beer and wine sales (from participating businesses) will be featured.","actionData","errors"]
