Brad Johnson stated that the Sheriff's Business License Unit didn't recommend
license approval due to the owner not responding to Sheriffs Department request for
information. He believes that the Sheriff's License Investigator asked for this
information for about 6 to 8 months. This location went to the Planning Commission
for the transfer of the ABC license, but has been a problem due to applicant not
submitting paperwork. The owner is not new to this process. He went through the
same procedure for the business next door.
Donald Wagner asked when the store was closed? He also stated that from time to
time the City has helped applicants with the paperwork. He stated that he would look
into the matter.

owner.

B. ORDINANCE NO 838 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD AMENDING
CHAPER 9.08 OF THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE
The Sheriffs Department has requested that the City Council adopt a new
ordinance regarding public urination and defecation. The District Attorney's
Office has approved the ordinance and will enforce it.
Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, stated that it was a good ordinance, but asked how
will this be enforced?
Mayor Clark stated that they have to catch a person in the act.
Councilman Taylor stated that someone has to witness and verify complaint. Will
try to do best we can to enforce this. District Attorney's office would not enforce
this in the past.
Lt. Wallace, stated that the ordinance in Rosemead and San Gabriel Valley was
deemed unenforceable with DA's office. This ordinance has been re-worded and
can now be enforced. A person has to do a citizen's arrest. Regarding Mr.
Nunez's concern for street vendors, we issue citation and take cart, but their
employer will just provide them with another cart the next day. They need legal
identification.
Mr. Nunez asked what is the City's liability for parkway trees as regard to CC-E.
There is a palm tree near Hellman Avenue that is dead. Who is responsible?
