H. Assignment of Rosemead General Plan Amendment and Zoning Update Contract to
Hogle-Ireland, Inc.
On April 14, 2009, the City Council appointed a sub-committee consisting of Mayor Margaret
Clark, Council Member Polly Low, and staff to discuss the future of mixed-use development
projects in the City of Rosemead. The sub-committee was specifically tasked with analyzing
the current 2008 General Plan and making a recommendation to the full City Council as to
whether the Land Use Element should be amended. The sub-committee has proposed to
reduce the amount of mixed-use development in the City. An amendment to the General
Plan Land Use Element, as well as, a comprehensive zoning map update and a municipal
code amendment to establish mixed-use development standards will be required to
implement the recommended land use changes.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract assignment to Hogle-Ireland in
the amount of $69,993.00.
2. Establish an amount of 10% of the contract amount ($6,993.00), as a contingency,
to cover the potential cost of unforeseen environmental review conditions.
7. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. Update Fee Resolution for FY 2009-10
As reported to the City Council at the August 25, 2009 Council meeting, the City provides
various individualized services i.e. inspections, permits, variances, etc. that are not of
general benefit. Historically, many of these services have been provided at a cost greater
than the price being charged for them, thus resulting in subsidies of the remaining costs of
service from the general taxpayers.
Staff is recommending that certain under-priced fees be increased and services previously
provided at no charge have a fee attached (in some cases fees have not been adjusted in
many years). In so doing, general taxpayer subsidies will be reduced and those individuals
receiving benefits will pay for them.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2009-50, which is an
updated comprehensive listing of fees.

8. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
A. Parks and Recreation and Rosemead School District After-School and Extended
CARE Program Coordination
As indicated during the regular City Council meeting on September 8, the Rosemead School
District was notified in August of a loss of latchkey funding used to operate its Safe Care
program. As a result, the district and the City of Rosemead have been exploring coordinated
efforts to continue provision of after-school and all-day care for local students.
Recommendation: In response to the request of the Rosemead School District, the Parks
and Recreation Department is willing and able to enhance child care programming by:
a) Providing a fee-based "day camp" service for students during school vacation
periods (i.e., summer, thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks),
b) Coordinating existing school-based drop-in recreation programs with school district-
sponsored after school programs, and
c) Exploring the potential of a fee0based after school program for kindergarten
students.
9. ADJOURNMENT
The next regular Community Development Commission and City Council meeting is
scheduled to take place on October 13, 2009 at 6:00 p.m, and 7:00 p.m., respectively.
