so HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL:
Submitted herewith is the Rosemead City Budget for the 1960-61
fiscal year. This budget was adopted after several special City
Council budget work sessions, and is a balanced budget permitting
the City of Rosemead to provide a somewhat higher level of service
and continue to operate without a City property taX. The budget
document includes a summary of anticipated revenues and expendi-
tures, and an analysis of each governmental function.
The municipal budget may be defined as a financial plan for the
completion of a wort: program for all departments for a one year
period. It is through the budget process that dollar values, in
terms of employees, supplies, and equipment, can be related to the
work program for the next fiscal year.
Since the City of Rosemead obtains most of its services from the
County of Los Angeles by contractual arrangement, the budget is
more than just a financial statement or an accumulation of figures.
It is the basic tool by which the policy of the City regarding the
desired level of service is established.
Each function and activity has been carefully examined with the
purpose of maintaining the least expenditure consistent with
adequate levels of service. In the case of contract services,
many discussions have been held with the proper County Officials
for the purpose of emphasizing the need for an economical operation.
Since this is the City's first budget, there is little of the
historical data that older cities enjoy to rely on. Therefore
the safeguards of attempting to underestimate revenue and over-
estimate expenditures have been made.
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES - Although the appropriations approximate
anticipate revenues or fiscal year 1960-61 as shown on page 3,
this is not an accurate picture of the City's past, present, or
future financial condition. Due to the recency of the City's in-
corporation certain gas tax and engineering funds were accrued
during fiscal 1959-60 which could not be spent before fiscal 1960-
61. Thus an accurate picture is given if we do not consider these
two funds in comparing current revenues with appropriations.
The total budget calls for an appropriation of $337,577.00 with
1960-61 revenues estimated at $337,44.00. Excluding the distor-
ting situation regarding gas tax and engineering money,current
revenues exceed appropriations by $44,^47.00. It should also be
noted that certain appropriations included in this budget, such
as Cit Hall site developemnt and the hiring of a Planning Consul-
tant (V),000.00 total), will be incurred for one or two years
only. Total surpluses at the end of the 1960-61 fiscal year are
• estimated at $170,169.00. The condition of the General Fund is
the best indicator of financial well being. Here a surplus of
$25,475.00 at the close of fiscal year 1959-60 is expected to in-
crease to $(P,514.O0 by the end of the 1960-61 fiscal year.

• FEDERAL CENSUS - The City of Rosemead is faced with the strongg
possibility o a reduction in revenue in the fiscal year 1961-G2
as a result of the Federal Census of 1960. The current formula
by which Gas Tax and In Lieu money is distributed to the City
from the State is based on a population estimated as three times
the number of registered voters in the City. Apparently voter
registration is relatively high in Rosemead, since preliminary
census figures place the population figure at around 15,000 in-
stead of the formula-based 19,602. This budget calls for adequate
surpluses to ensure uninterrupted development in case the 1960
Census results in a reduction in revenue.
PLANNING - The City of Rosemead Planning Commission, with the
ass! , ace of a Planning Consultant and city staff, will proceed
in the very near future with the general plan for the orderly
development of the City. The adoption of this plan by the City
Council should lead to regular development and, through the en-
couragement of additional business and industry, expansion of
off-street parking facilities, etc., additional income to the City.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS - With the development of an adequate City
a staff an as,c organization of City Government, it is im-
portant that capital improvement needs be determined and programs
initiated. This is necessary not only to encourage community
pride and identification, but to begin the orderly development
• of the physical structures and layout of the City.
Fund surpluses carried over from fiscal 1959-60, and revenues for
1960-61, are completely adequate to warrant a capital improvement
program. Gas tax monies have been budgeted by the City and approved
by the State for improvement of Walnut Grove Avenue. Additional
proposals will be made so the City can use County Aid money and
Gas Tax Engineering Aid. A traffic lighting project on Valley
Boulevard has also been provided for. In addition, a portion of
the General Fund surplus has been earmarked for land acquisition
and development of a City Hall.
CONCLUSION - The City of Rosemead has chosen to follow the plan
o contracting with the County and others to provide most of the
basic City services. The contract plan was reported in the Harvard
Law Review of February, 1960, as the most significant development
in local government in the nation. Continuing with this policy,
the City of Rosemead will benefit from the budgetary control the
contract plan offers, and enables the City Council and administration
to operate without the additional cost of a large force of City
employees.
The City Administrator expresses his appreciation for the cooperation
and assistance in preparing this budget accorded him by County per-
sonnel, the outgoing City Administrator Mr. William Woollett, Jr.,
and Roy R. Pederson, Coro Foundation Intern.

CITY OF ROSEMEAD
REVENUE FUNDS - USES AND SOURCES
There are two kinds of revenue funds maintained by the
City - restricted and unrestricted. The restricted funds,
such as In Lieu, State Gas Tax, and Traffic and Safety,
come from special revenues and may only be expended for
purposes specified by State Law. The unrestricted, General
Fund, may be used for any City or State purpose. Therefore,
overall financial well being is reflected largely by the
General Fund balance. It is in the interest of the City
to spend restricted money when possible rather than unres-
tricted, thus leaving as much of the surplus as possible
in the General Fund.
IN LIEU FUND
This fund is from revenue raised from motor vehicle license
fees. It is an ad valorem tax and is in lieu of local pro-
perty taxes on motor vehicles.
A portion of the revenue raised by the State is distributed
to cities on the basis of population. Payment to cities in
1958-59 was estimated at $5.33 per capita. It is apparent
that if the Federal Census shows a smaller population for
the City of Rosemead than the current formula of three times
the registered voters, a reduction in income here will occur
in 1961-62.
This fund is the least restricted of the restricted expendi-
ture funds, and can be spent for the following: Law enfor-
cement,all street lighting purposes, annexation proceedings,
regulation and control of highway traffic, street mainten-
ance and construction, flood control, health, education,
libraries, and any other State purpose.
TRAFFIC SAFETY FUND
This fund consists of revenue received from fines and
forfeitures for violation of the Motor Vehicle Code. This
money can only be spent for the following: Maintenance
and construction of streets, traffic regulation and control
devices, traffic enforcement and accident prevention ser-
vices and equipment, compensation of school crossing guards,
-5
• and sidewalk construction, repair, and maintenance.
STATE GAS TAX FUNDS
A sum equal to 5/84 tax per gallon under the State Fuel
Tax is allocated by the State to cities on a population
basis for street improvements and traffic safety purposes.
Again, a change in the population figure as a result of
the Federal Census may reduce revenues here in 1961-62.
Sixty percent of the money received from this source must
be spent for construction of major city streets, and the
remaining forty percent may be spent for maintenance of
major and secondary streets, but may also be spent on con-
struction upon the approval of the State Department of
Public Works.
This money must be budgeted for a specific project by the
City before the State will turn the funds over to the City.
However, the City can change its mind about how it wishes
to spend this money even after it has received it from the
State. The point is to get the money budgeted so the State
will distribute it to the City, and the interest income
from the funds will accrue to the City.
ENGINEERING AID FUND
A small additional apportionment of gas tax monies is made
for additional engineering and administrative expenses in
respect to City streets.
COUNTY AID TO CITIES
It is the policy of Los Angeles County to distribute some
of its gas tax money to cities for street improvement within
their boundaries. This money is distributed 85% on the basis
of population, and 15% on mileage of major streets. Before
the City can use this fund approval must be obtained from
the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

The City Council is the elected body charged with the res-
ponsibility of establishing policy by means of ordinances
and resolutions. As a group the Councilmen establish level
of service for City functions, authorize expenditures of al
monies, adopt the budget, appoint all commissioners, etc.
The City Council is composed of five members who serve with-
out pay. The Mayor is selected as presiding officer by the
other members. The budget proposed here is for the expenses
which are involved in representing the City at local and
statewide meetings of various other governmental agencies.
No funds are proposed for capital outlay items since nothing
is needed in addition to the equipment purchased during 1959-60.
• Item .71 was increased by $200.00 over the proposed amount
to provide for expenses that will be incurred when the City
of Rosemead takes its turn at hosting the California Contract
Cities Association.

The City Administrator is appointed by the City Council
as administrative head of the City staff. He coordinates
activities of City Government, prepares reports and rec-
ommendations for the City Council, advises City Commissions,
handles public relations and information activities, and
represents the City of Rosemead at conferences and meetings
of adm i n i s t rat i vc o f f i c i a l s f rorri. other agencies.

The Administrative Assistant assists in general admin-
istration of City functions, prepares reports and studies,
and serves as Secretary to the Commissions. This position
relieves the City of the need for some of the services now
provided under contract by such agencies as the Regional
Planning Department and County Traffic Lighting Division.
A proportion of the Assistant's salary is charged against
the Planning and Traffic Safety accounts. The $1,100.00
reduction in the services of the Administrative Aide is
warranted by the hiring of a full time Administrative
Assistant.

General Fund Budget 1960-61
Account No. 1200 General Government
Appropriations for this year are less than last year due
to the need for considerable capital outlay the first
year of operations. Some capital outlay is needed for
1960-61 to obtain equipment for the additional staff.
All capital outlays for office equipment have been charged
to this account simply to facilitate accounting and record
keeping. Total capital outlay is not large enough to
warrant spreading the costs throughout the various City
Administration accounts.

The Planning Commission is established under the provisions
of State Law and Municipal Code and is charged with the res-
ponsibility for the continuous development of a City Master
Plan. The Master Plan is not a static document, prepared
once and for all. It is a developing and dynamic plan des-
igned to provide for orderly and rational growth of the City.
Services of a Planning Commission Advisor are retained, al-
though the administrative assistant will devote approximately
1/4 of his time to planning activities-partly as secretary to
the Commission. It is recommended that the services of a
private consultant be obtained, but due to expected reduction
in "in Lieu" funds it is desirable that expenses be kept at
least as low as the proposed amount.

This account provides for contracts with the Los Angeles
County Sheriff for general law enforcement, with the Los
Angeles County Jail for prisoner care, and with the Calif-
ornia Highway Patrol for crossing guard services.
item .01 of the adopted budget provides for an increased
level of general law enforcement to "one" car instead of
the previous 9/4" of a car under the "package deal". The'-cost
for this is $73,400.00. The "package deal" enables the
City to provide the desired basic level of service, in ad-
dition to the "back-up" of the entire Sheriff's Department
for any particular problem that comes up within the City.
The additional $5,000.00 in this item provides for a three
wheel motorcycle - 20 hours per week for traffic and park-
ing enforcement.
Item .02 makes allowance for the possibility of high prisoner
care costs if current trends continue. "Normal" costs for
this item should run about $3,000.00 annually.
Item .03 will provide for four crossing guards instead of
the proposed allowance for only one. The increase is needed
because neither the-CHP nor the Sheriff will provide these
services free of cost after the first fiscal year after the.
incorporation of a City.
The Crossin Guard cost ($6,400.00) and the cost of the
motorcycle ?$5,000.00) are than ed to the Traffic Safety
Fund, the remainder ($83,400.00? to the "In Lieu" Fund.

also included.
Contractors have made proposals to do this work for the
City based upon a single trip through the City at desig-
nated intervals. However, experience indicates that often
additional trips are necessary to adequately clean the
street. By continuing the existing situation only the
service required is provided and paid for. The County
provides a service that will keep the streets clean, re-
gardless of the time necessarily spent on each street.
The amount proposed is comparable, per month to the amount
spent for the 11 months of the last fiscal year.

This is a gas tax project for the acquisition of right of
way for the improvement of Walnut Grove Avenue. By law
these funds must be expended on a major City street, al-
though their expenditure is not necessarily limited to
the project for which they are appropriated. Even if this
rponey is to be spent elsewhere the City will have the ad-
vantage of the accruing interest rather than the State.

It is proposed that the City continue to contract with the
County for emergency ambulance services. Under this con-
tract an ambulance is called by an official agent of City
government - police or fire - and dispatched to the scene
of an accident. The ambulance firm attempts to collect
from the patient before submitting a bill to the County.
If payment is approved, the County submits the bill to the
City. The City may attempt to collect the unpaid bill from
the patient if practical.
The City is not responsible for energency hospital care of
indigent patients. This expense is paid by the County.
The Health Inspection services are a general fund obliga-
tion of Los Angeles County and thus require no budgetary
consideration from cities - being financed from the General
County Tax. But due to the legislative responsibilities of
the County Health Officer, a nominal charge is made for
services ($1.00 per months 67 cities in the County contract
for this service.
The allocation for rodent control is based upon the County
Health Department's estimate. This service must be paid
for separately since it is above the minimum level of
service required by State Law and County Policy.

Rosemead Park Rec.Dist. 0 0 7,500.00 $7,500.00
By virtue of incorporation Los Angeles County discontinued
its financial support of the after-school and vacation re-
creation program. The proposed amount would provide for
the continuation of this program costing $10,500.00.
$3,000.00 of this cost will be shared equally by the E1
Monte High School District and the Rosemead Elementary
School District. Play leaders will be hired by Los Angeles
County through contract, but the program will be planned
and supervised by local personnel. The Rosemead Parl, Re-
creation, and Parkway District #8 will also participate in
the program. It is planned that the Recreation Director
will report to a board composed of a representative from
each participating jurisdiction.
