"Where City Pride is Justified"
June 8, 1964
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Counc i
Rosemead, California
Gentlemen;
Submitted herewith is the fi
of Rosemead covering fiscal
revenue and expenditures as
document "Statement of Fund
City will again operate with
an estimated $274,000 reserv
fth annual budget of the City
year 1964-65. The summary of
represented in the budget
Balances" indicates that the
no City property tax and have
e as of June 30, 1965.
The ma'or portion of the City's expenditures will be for
the select system street construction program. The proposed
budget contains $150,000 for the Mission Drive reconstruction
project and $16,000 for design and right-of-way on the sec-
ond stage of the Walnut Grove project. Since the curb and
gutter program on residential streets is nearing completion,
estimated expenditures for this purpose have been reduced
accord i ng 1 y.
The revenue estimates used are primarily those of the ap-
propriate State and County agencies dispursing such funds.
Sales tax revenues are always difficult to anticipate; how-
ever, the amount shown should be somewhat conservative.
It should be noted that changes in the State Highway Users
' Tax Law have provided enough additional funds to proceed
as planned with the Mission Drive project even though the
City will probably not receive the full requested allocation
' of $75,000 from the County Highways-Through-Cities Fund.
i,,Iatching funds are required for most of the new 186.1 gas
tax money budgeted and therefore an involved record keeping
' process has to be developed in order to utilize as much of
th~2se funds as possible.

- BUDGET MESSAGE -
In it's five years of life as an incorporated general law
California City, Rosemead has certainly shown some very
impressive and positive answers to the questions - "Why
should this Community incorporate?" Much has been accom-
plished during these years to provide the necessary guide-
lines for the successful future growth and development of
the City. The proposed budget reflects many of the past
years efforts by showing in financial terms the basic pro-
grams and essential services and needs of the community for
the fiscal year 1964-65.
Rosemead enjoys the economics and excellent quality of ser-
vice that results from area-wide performance of services
which are provided without the restrictions of municipal
boundary lines. This is made possible through the unique
"contract city" form of government. The City Council deter-
mines the desired level of service and pays the contracting
agency the actual costs involved in the performance of the
service.
Contracts are entered into for those various services with
the County of Los Angeles as well as private contractors.
Cost data are continuously kept and comparisons made in
order to determine the best method of providing the service.
It is anticipated that the City of Rosemead will continue
to operate its government without the need for a municipal
tax in the foreseeable future as it has in its productive
and youthful past.
Accomplishments of the Past Year
Industrial Activity - One of our new, major industries
added to osemea s fast growing list - Vitachrome Incorpor-
ated. Vitachrome is now located on the extension of Stingle
Street in the Consumer's Industrial Park and is a major
manufacturer of decals.
Our Industrial brochure was completed during the year and
is being distributed by the City and the Chamber of Commerce.
The brochure is part of an industrial development package
that includes the standard industrial survey summary and
the industrial site booklet. Ultimately, we will add the
beautiful Rosemead Community brochure to this package.
Throughout the year, the Administrative Office has made
contact with certain key industries and industrial real
estate firms with the hope that we can continue to improve
'
our industrial balance.
Off Street Parkin - During the year, the City held meet-
ings with Valley Boulevard merchants and property owners
in a continuing effort to achieve additional business dis-
trict off-street parking. Parking added during the year
'
includes that of the Rosemead Bank and Blanchard Appliances.
Also underway during the fiscal year was the greatly ex-
panded parking facilities for Ole's Hardware.
'
Public Works - Public works activity during the fiscal year
included the completion of the Walnut Grove Avenue bridge
and street widening from Valley Boulevard to the freeway.
;^,t the same time, we widened and improved the portion of
'
Marshall Street from Walnut Grove Avenue to Bartlett Street.
The Mission Drive - Valley Boulevard section of the major
County Flood Control project started during the year and
'
is scheduled for completion shortly after the start of the
now fiscal year. City acquisition of Mission Drive right-
of-way has proceeded quite slowly. We hope to be in a posi-
tion to start the street widening and improvements on Mis-
sion Drive as soon as the Flood Control work is completed.
Preliminary survey and design and right-of-way acquisition
'
is underway for the improvement of Walnut Grove Avenue from
Valley Boulevard to Mission Drive.
'
In addition to these major projects, the City installed
improvements on Artson, Twin, Gaydon, Chariette, Delta,
Hellman, Ivar, Glendon Way, Strang, Earle, Shea Place, and
Marshall Street. As can be seen from this list, our citizens
have continued to show a strong interest in improving their
streets.
'
Planning De artment - The year was also very productive in
planning. The Planning Commission and the City Council
1
conducted many study sessions and prescribed public hear-
ings on the new zoning ordinance and zoning map prior to
actual adopption. In addition the City took actions invol-

fications, and several zone exceptions and zone changes.
Other planning activity included; the alley report, stan-
dard requirement revisions, annexations, move-in study,
a land developmenttrust ordinance, zoning ordinance refine-
ment, and major changes in forms and filing procedures for
zone changes and zone exceptions.
' Traffic and Safety De artment - Another busy segment of
City business - tra is an safety matters accounted for
' over eighty separate work items. Important among these was
of course the installation of additional safety devices at
the Southern Pacific Railroad Crossings on Encinita Avenue,
' Lower Azusa Road, and Temple City Boulevard.
In addition, many less noticeable projects were completed
that go toward making our City and it's streets safer for
everyone.
The Future
Five short years ago the citizens of Rosemead shouldered the
' responsibilities of home rule. These five years have been
years of progress and growth. Government at the local level
has paid healthy dividends to our people and the community
' as a whole. We need only look in any direction at new and
wider streets, a massive curb and gutter program, sidewalks,
street lights, well maintained parkway trees, new traffic
signals and signs for added safety, and very important new
industrial and commercial facilities.
The coming year will undoubtedly see an increase in commercial
and industrial activity within the community. Several new
commercial buildings are scheduled for the immediate future,
and the year should see several extensive projects reach fru-
ition.
Many requests have been made by property owners and organized
groups in adjacent unincorporated areas for annexation to our
city. The Councils policy of eventual annexation of the en-
tire South San Gabriel community should result in a future
City of considerable stature within the San Gabriel Valley
area - one with a population of over 50,000 and an unlimited
potential.
But we are most proud of the fact that all of the improvements
have been accomplished and will continue to be accomplished
without a municipal property tax.

inquiry has been made concerning matching funds for

projects, citizen inquiries, survey work, etc. and
find a frequent need for information and contact
with City Hall. At the present time we must return

to City Hall, :°-t the information and return to the

tracts with the County of Los Angeles for the services

mission. The Planning Commission is an advisory body to
the City Council. Commissioners are appointed by the
Council and serve without pay.
The Commission has been delegated the responsibility for
approval of plot plans and for making recommendations
concerning zone exceptions, zone changes, special use
permits, and subdivisions.
PERSONNEL:
.11 At the present time approximately one-half of
the Administrative Assistant and Administrative
Secretary hours are devoted to planning matters.
This account provides for the addition of a full
time Stenographer-Clerk to act as a clerical
Planning Secretary. The duties would include tak-
ing dictation, typing forms and planning corres-
pondence, taking and transcribing Planning Commis-
sion minutes, minor maintenance of maps, answer-
ing routine phone and counter inquiries on plan-
ning matters, maintenance of planning files, and
generally assisting the Planning Advisor and the
!Administrative Assistant. This staff addition
would relieve the Administrative Secretary from
planning duties and permit her to devote necessary
time to her basic duties and to the ever increas-
ing work load of bookkeeping obligations. This
would also relieve the Administrative Assistant
from some of the planning duties and provide a
better balance of time toward other responsibilities.

fourth of the Planning Advisor's time (461 hours).

The City's policy is to include articles in each

regarding their local government's operation. It is
'
hoped that the newsletter has resulted in better in-
formed citizens and perhaps has stimulated interest
in the affairs of the City.
'
Part of the increase in cost is due to a consider-
ably broadened area of circulation. In addition,

OPERATIONS:
.01 Insurance & Surety Bonds
This account provides for the bonding of City
employees, liability insurance, city automobile,
and equipment insurance.
.02 Auditing Fees
All auditing fees are combined into this account.
The City ;auditor makes a monthly visit to the City
for a continuous audit of the cash, expenditures
and revenues throughout the year, assisting in the
preparation of the claims and demands and posting
to the control accounts of the ledger.
Starting this year, we will also be required to
keep far more detailed records and cost account
certain classifications of expenditures in order
to satisfy State Division of Highways auditing re-
quirements for certain gasoline tax funds.
In addition, the !auditor provides a quarterly re-
port of revenues and expenditures and makes a year
end certified audit to review all financial acti-
vities of the City for the fiscal year.
Under our present system the ;'administrative Sec-
retary makes entries of expenditures daily to pro-
vide an up-to-date record and maintain a modified
encumbrance system, prepares the claims and demands,
and also prepares monthly reports of expenditures
for the Council.
In summary, the Auditor prepares quarterly reports,
and the Administrative Secretary prepares reports
of expenditures for each intervening month. The
Auditor also posts to the ledger, reviews the work
of the !'administrative Secretary, and makes a con-
tinuous audit each month throughout the year.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This account provides for all of

City of Rosemead. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's De-
partment provides 24 hour general law enforcement patrols,
two 56 hour per week traffic enforcement units, a motor-
'

.
Prisoner Care
The prisoner care account was virtually eliminated
'
in 1963-64 due to a change in State Law which pro-
vided a State Penal Code section for the arrest of
plain drunks on public property. This places the
'
responsibility for prisoner care as a result of
such arrests on the County. The City will continue
to pay for the care of prisoners resulting from
'
arrests under City ordinances such as drunk on pri-
vate property in public view or drunk on private
property to the nuisance of other persons. Our City,
as well as most other cities in the County, contract
'
with the County for the housing of such prisoners
at the daily rate of $6.10 for male and $10.01 for
'
female prisoners.
.03 Crossing Guard
'
The City during the fiscal year 1963-64 had cross-
ing guards at Marshall and Walnut Grove Ave. at
rills Street and Walnut Grove Avenue, and Marshall
and Temple City Blvd. for 42 hours per day. With
'
the planned installation of the traffic signal at
,,galnut Grove i'wenue and Marshall Street, we can
safely eliminate the crossing guard requirement at
'
that location.

BUILDING REGULATIONS
f,ccount No. 3200
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This account provides for the cost
o building construction regulation which is provided
through the Building and Safety Division of the Los Angel-
es County Engineers. Revenues from permits and inspection
fees are designed to off-set the above expenditures, al-
though there should continue to be more revenues than ex-
penditures during the next fiscal year due to the permit
fee increase.
Building activity in Rosemead should continue to increase
somewhat above previous years. This high level of build-
ing activity should remain stable since it is anticipated
that an increased amount of manufacturing and commercial
construction will occur in the City during the next fiscal
year.

ENGINEERING AND ADMINISTRATION
Account No. 4000
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This account provides for general
engineering on y. All street engineering has been removed
to the street construction account so that these items may
be more accountable with the particular project involved.
OPERATIONS:
Ol Los Angeles County Engineers
This account provides for expenditures for services
of the Los Angeles County Engineer for the prepara-
tion and checking of petitions, sewer plans, house
numbering map maintenance, drainage studies and
investigations and miscellaneous special mapping
services.
02 Private Engineers
This account provides for the cost of preparing
annexation maps and legal descriptions, special
district maps, and other miscellaneous engineer-
ing and mapping services.
.05 Permit Issuance
This account's only purpose is to provide a pro-
cedure for record purposes, since all expenses
will be completely and exactly defrayed by permit
fees. The City receives the fee for curbs and
gutters, sidewalks, driveway approaches, etc.
and is billed for this amount monthly by the
County Road Department.
44 Assessment Roll
An assessment roll is purchased each year from
the County Assessors office which is used in the
drafting of petitions for curb and gutter improve-
ments, as well as many planning and annexation
matters. This item is included in the Engineer-
ing and Administration section of the budget to
more closely associate the classification of the
expenditure with its use. The amount has been
increased so that the assessment roll can include
the South San Gabriel area.

' MAINTENANCE OF STREET TREES AND PARKWAYS
Account No. 5400
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The Los Angeles County Department
' o Parks an Recreation, acting under contract with the
City of Rosemead, maintains approximately 2,500 parkway
trees in the City. In addition to the routine mainten-
ance, which includes trimming, topping, spraying, and
routine removals, the City has had quite a number of
trees to remove due to street widening and curb and gut-
ter installations.
The tree removal program costs the City an average of
$25.78 per tree for removal on Newby, Steele, Glendon
' 'Jay, Lawrence and Ivar. A continuing check on tree re-
moval costs indicate that a private contract would cost
at least 40 to 45% more than under our present arrange-
ment with Los Angeles County.
Since the number of removals due to curb and gutter pro-
jects and the major city street projects will again be
' quite high, approximately $2,500 is estimated to be used
for this purpose.
The budget also
includes $2,000
for replacement and plant-
'
ing of trees on
those major city
streets that undergo
widening and major improvements.
A further recommendation
would be for the
City to expand
a planting program to in-
clude all of our
streets where w
idening and improvements
are responsible
for tree losses.

Even though we have added street mileage through annexa-
tion, it is felt that we can do an adequate job of street
maintenance with a budget equal to the previous fiscal
year. This is primarily due to the number of streets that
have been improved in conjunction with the curb and gutter
program.

HEALTH SERVICES
;Account No. 6000
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This account provides for basic
health inspection services (which is a general fund obli-
gation of the County of Los Angeles), rodent control,
and ambulance service costs.
OPERATIONS:
01 Emergency Ambulance Service
The City contracts with the County of Los Angeles
for emergency ambulance service. The ambulance
company is required to make 3 attempts to collect
and then turns the accounts over to the County.
The ambulance company state their experience has
been that approximately 20% of the accounts are un-
collectable. On uncollectable accounts, the ambul-
ance companies bill the Department of Charities
which in turn bills the City. The City makes an
additional effort to collect ambulance costs by
sending a letter to each person listed as uncollec-
table on the bill to the City. The letter informs
the person that it is their responsibility to pay
for ambulance services and that the amount is due
immediately. This practice has proved to be parti-
ally successful, although we collect on only a small
percentage of those billed. Of more significance,
are the number of corrections that we make in the
County bill where people notify the City they have
already paid their bill to the ambulance company.
.02 Health Serv i cz:s
This account is for the $1.00 per month charge which
is levied against each city contracting with the
County for health services. It is used to pay for
the legislative responsibility of the Los Angeles
County Health Officer. All cities in Los Angeles
County except Long Beach, Vernon, Pasadena, and Los
Angeles City use the County Health Department.
03 Rodent Control
These services are above the basic level of County
responsibility and therefore must be paid for by
the City. This account would provide for minor
problems which may occur.

The Rosemead Elementary School District provides the
playground and school room facilities necessary for the
program and in addition provides the supplies and mater-
ials. The Rosemead Elementary School District has pro-
vided supervision of the operation since all of the ac-
tivities are upon their property and most of the employees
are full time employees of the school district.
It is recommended that a similar program be offered dur-
ing the 1964-65 fiscal year.
