PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE AUDIENCE Raquel Torres Morales - read a letter she wrote to the Council (the letter is filed in the City Clerk's office). Mrs. Torres-Morales stated she was the proud mother of Private Caesar Samuel Morales who is currently serving with the United Stated Army. She stated that she wanted to apologize to her son for not pursuing her original request to the City regarding beginning a banner program in honor of the military residence and added that this upcoming Christmas when her son gets to visit her she would like him to see his name on a city banner and know that the City of Rosemead has not forgotten their hometown heroes. Mrs. Torres- Morales presented to Council material obtained from City of Pico Rivera's Council Members Armenta and Archuleta regarding their "Operation Hometown Heroes" banner program. She concluded by stating that her soldier was doing well and had moved up one rank and would be arriving soon to Fort Knox for more combat training before deploying to Afghanistan in the upcoming year. Mayor Clark reassured Mrs. Torres-Morales that Council had not forgotten about this issue and staff was currently working on this matter. Council Member Low stated that because of families like Mrs. Torres-Morales she has made it a point, since being in office, to remember the troops and their families during the Invocation portion of the Council meetings. She added that she was hoping to continue that tradition until the troops are all back home. City Manager Allred stated that in recent negotiations with the Chamber of Commerce the City was working on a banner program and added that this would be part of the agreement, which will be coming back to Council next month. Velia Navarro - stated she had a concern that she had brought up before regarding the slaughter house located on Garvey and asked what the progress on that matter was. She stated she didn't know if everyone was aware of that slaughter house and that they kill live chickens there and people can go buy them. She added there was a lot of blood dropping there and that was not a healthy situation for the children and the Rosemead residents; she is already concerned about the swine flu and the regular flu and asked if in addition the avian flu would create a problem and asked if anyone had done studies on the avian flu. Mayor Clark stated that the H1 N1 (swine) and the avian flu were a combination and added that she was very concerned about that. Ms. Navarro asked how that would affect the Rosemead community and what was staff doing about the situation. City Attorney Montes stated that the City is in the process of implementing a few actions that will be coming back to Council in open session for further discussion. Council MemberArmenta stated that unfortunately it was a long process and Council and staff had been working closely with the owners to find a solution. She added that there were a lot of details discussed in closed session that they were not allowed to disclose at this time. Ms. Armenta assured Ms. Navarro once again that the City was working really hard to find a solution for this matter. Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 3 of 13 Mayor Clark announced that Item 8A was going to be moved up on the agenda for discussion. 8. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL A. Coordination between Parks and Recreation Programs and School District Day Care Programs The Rosemead School District was recently notified of a loss of latchkey funding, which provides before and after-school and extended day care (7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) to 120 participants . As a result, the district and the City of Rosemead are exploring coordinated efforts to continue provision of such services at school sites and parks facilities. Recommendation: This item is for informational purposes; therefore, no action is required at this time. Rhonda Harmon - President of the Rosemead School District stated she was in support of the collaboration between the school district and the City of Rosemead to produce an afterschool childcare option for parents due to the State recent and very late decision to cancel funding for the latchkey program. Ms. Harmon stated that their superintendent, herself and other board members met with city staff to see how they could work together to find childcare in their own school grounds and that would be similar to the program that was recently cancelled. She added that the program that had been developed so far would cost $175 a month, which is about half the cost of what SAFE CARE cost. That would provide childcare services for school days, which is comparable with the SAFE CARE program; what was discussed with the city was to have the city help with "holiday days" or all of the days that school is not in session. She thanked Council and city staff for meeting with them and working together to find a solution to this issue. Amy - thanked Council for their consideration and stated she and all the working parents appreciated any support given to them. She added that they were asking for support during the vacation season, spring break, and holidays. Director of Parks and Recreation David Montgomery-Scott reviewed the staff report. John Truono and David Chen - stated that they understood the SAFE program was being cancelled due to the economic environment and informed everyone that the Rosemead Youth Program provides child care services Monday through Friday; providing services in language arts, music, Chinese, Spanish, among other subjects. They added that the cost is only $25 a week and they are located at Temple Intermediate School. Mickey Garcia - stated he was a concerned citizen and parent and an advocate of the SAFE CARE program. He stated that he needed the SAFE CARE program since he had recently started working again and asked Council if they could help in anyway. He suggested that maybe there be a property tax increase or a gas tax increase to help take care of the youth of tomorrow. He concluded by stating that his daughter had a speech impediment and if it weren't for the staff of the SAFE CARE program and their additional help she wouldn't be able to annunciate or over annunciate her words to sound normal. He asked Council for their help and direction so that he as a parent could do to help the situation. Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 4 of 13 Mayor Pro Tern Taylor stated the program ended in October and asked Mr. Garcia how long the program had gone on. Mr. Garcia responded for about 20 to 25 years. Mr. Taylorasked how many months during the year. Mr. Garcia responded 280 days, which included Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a lot of the holidays. Council Member Sandra Armenta added that there was 180 school days during the year. Council Member Steven Ly added that the program also included summer vacation. Mayor Pro Tern Taylor if this was the program that cost $175 per week per student. Mr. Garcia stated that was correct and that the program use to cost $288 full cost. Mr. Montgomery-Scott stated that the $175 program was the program that the school district was currently proposing. The SAFE CARE program was subsidized for some parents but it could cost up to $288 per family per month. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated that so far no one had given him a total figure of what the program was going to cost and that instead of throwing around the figure of $175 a month they should be talking about the hundreds of thousands of dollars the program was actually going to cost for the 100 and plus students. He added that if this was done for Rosemead then Garvey would soon be asking Council for the same assistance. Mr. Taylor stated that if the City gave money to this program this year it would become a recurring issue because the program would need to continue and would not end next year. Mr. Garcia responded that was the reason why he felt the whole community should participate and not only the City. Council Member Ly stated he wanted to clarify a couple points; first, the school district and the City are two different agencies. Second, the $175 a month amount that was being proposed by the district would not be paid by the City, it would be paid by the parents. He added that Mr. Montgomery-Scott was not working on a program that would cost the City money. Mr. Montgomery-Scott responded that was correct. He added that in response to Mr. Taylor's question, Rosemead School District currently received State funding and excess of 600,000 for the ACE program and the Garvey School District received a similar amount. Mayor Pro Tern Taylor stated that was $1.2 million. Mr. Montgomery-Scott replied that was the amount the school districts received to run their afterschool programs. Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 5 of 13 Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated that he did not want to sound like he was not on the side of the children and that it was hard to make these types of decisions but that if the City took over where would they come up with $1.2 each year. Council Member Ly responded that he did not think staff was proposing for the City to take over the program. And what the school district was asking was for assistance during the spring break periods, Christmas vacation, and summer vacation. City Manager Allred clarified that the district's request was on the front page of the staff report; they are requesting an expansion of the City's "Day-Camp" to 14 weeks out of the year and if the City decides to do so then the parents would be paying for that service. The second request is to support the ACES program through the City's existing Parks and Recreation programs and that will not need additional funding. Mayor Pro Tem Gary Taylorasked for further clarification because he understood the City currently provides programs at the schools at no cost. Mr. Allred stated that the district was asking that the City re-evaluate the way the City provides that program and maybe modify it to fill the gap from the lost of the ACES program. He added that staff was looking at those possibilities and that staff would bring another report to Council at the next City Council meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated that when the report was brought back he wanted it to include the total cost for the program. Mr. Montgomery-Scott stated that he wanted to make clear that the Rosemead School District was not asking for any funding and what they were asking the City to do was to work with them and help them with the summer school program, which the City already runs and the City would not incur any additional cost. In addition to run the all day programs the City would do so at cost to participants. Council Member Polly Low stated that the City was trying to provide programs to all children and not just to children of one school district. She added that the $175 per student mentioned was the cost of what parents would have to pay and not the City. Tracy Loa - stated she was parent of a child who participated in SAFE CARE and added that the children from the program did not want to lose their teachers. She stated the proposed program was not something the parents were happy with and that they wanted to keep their SAFE CARE program. Ms. Loa stated that the ACES program had 80 kids and the SAFE CARE program had only 40 kids; that some parents paid a reduced fee and others paid the full cost for the SAFE CARE program. She said she understood that money was being cut from the budget but that she had done some investigation and was asking for help to get some funding through grants. Council Member Steven Ly stated that the Garvey School District eliminated their SAFE CARE program a few years ago and now utilizes the Woodcraft Rangers programs; the Options program no longer has anymore money to provide assistance. Mr. Ly added that in terms of the cost, the State had cut $203,000 and if parents wanted to look for a grant that was the figure they needed to come up with. He also thanked staff and the school district for scrambling around to find a solution to what the State had left them with. Mr. Ly Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 6 of 13 stated the solution was not going to solve every single aspect of the situation; however, they were trying to figure out how to do more with less. He stated that he certainly did not want to see any children on the streets and that public safety was also an issue. Council Member Sandra Armenta stated that the first step had already been taken because the City and the school district had already come together to try to find a solution. She added that as an educator she knew the importance of having children feel safe in their classrooms and that as a City Council Member she also knew about all the money that had been taken away from the City and that there needs to be some common ground to find a solution. Ms. Armenta added that if parents did receive a grant to help them keep their program it would not be up to Council to decide what to do with that grant but it would be up to the district to decide what to do with that money. She added that was the reason why it was important for everyone to work together and find a solution to this problem. Kamronn Razo - stated that when they had their school district meeting it was said that it took about $360,000 to run the SAFE CARE program; $203,000 was coming from the State and the other funds were coming from the parents. Ms. Razo suggested that maybe they could cut down on some of that cost by cutting out the trips and snacks from the SAFE program and the parents can provide their own. She stated that this could be done for the first year until the parents can find some grants but that they need help and guidance to do so. She asked that the City pay for the program for a year until other funds are obtained elsewhere. Aide Michel - stated she was one of the parents participating in the SAFE CARE program and was addressing Council to try and find a solution. She added that she was one of the parents contacted by the school regarding the cancellation of the program and that she was told that if she wanted the program to continue she would have to pay more for childcare. Ms. Michel stated that for her that would be about $800 per child per month because she had two kids. Sarina Hrenq - stated she was very concern with what was going and was addressing Council to inform them about how important SAFE CARE program was to her and her family. She stated that as a single parent and without this program being available she would not be able to keep a job. Ms. Hreng stated it sadden her to know that the program was being eliminated because the teachers actually cared for the kids and provided snacks to them. City Manager Jeff Allred stated that staff would have a report for Council on September 22nd and will try and provide as much information as possible. Council Member Steven Ly stated he would like the City's grant specialist to work with the district and try and find them some grants. 6. CITY COUNCIL CONSENT CALENDAR A.

Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 8 of 13 H. Approval of License Agreement with AYSO Region 40 for the Use of the Rosemead Park Snack Bar For a number of years, Region 40 of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) has used the Snack Bar at Rosemead Park during their soccer season as a means of fundraising and to serve park patrons.

Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: None Absent: None D. Sister City Committees Policy The City of Rosemead has established ongoing "sister city" relationships with Keelung, Taiwan and Zapopan, Mexico. The proposed policy statement calls for City Council appointment of an Executive Board for each sister city committee comprised of volunteer citizens who will guide and oversee the committee's activities. The policy also encourages the formation of independent private non-profit organizations to raise funds and finance sister city exchange activities. In accordance with direction provided at the August 25th City Council meeting, the proposed policy statement includes language to prohibit City expenditures related to sister city travel and activities by individuals, including members of City committees and the City Council. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the proposed policy for Sister City Committees. Council Member Polly Low stated she was still uncomfortable on how this policy was set up because there is an Executive Board set up of five members, then there is a section about Community Members where it seems that anyone that is interested can sign up. In addition, there is another section that refers to Officers. Mrs. Low asked if this had been done before. City Manager Allred stated that was requested originally was that there be a Commission set up for this; however, what staff was proposing was to set up a Committee instead. Mr. Allred stated that the Executive Board would be appointed by Council and that membership would be open to anyone who wanted to participate in the committee and this would be all volunteer and there would be no stipend for anyone. Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 9 of 13 Council Member Low stated she understood the importance of the exchange of culture and education but she felt that there would still be some sort of cost that the City would have to bear and she didn't think the City should bear any cost for any type of participation in this committee. Council Member Ly asked the City Manager if he was confident that the City would be able to allocate staff for this without incurring any additional cost. Mr. Allred responded that staff that would be assigned to coordinate with these committees would be salary staff and that no additional money would be incurred for overtime. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he saw this as more than an oversight committee than the City because in the past the Sister-City committees died due to participates leaving and others not joining. Mr. Taylor stated this was a structured organization that was needed to keep the committees going. Council Member Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Gary Taylor to approved the proposed policy for Sister City Committees. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: Low Absent: None F. Delegate Tort Liability Claims Handling Responsibilities to the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority In March of this year the California JPIA conducted a Risk Management Evaluation of the City's policies, procedures and facilities. One item identified in the report is the determination that the City has never formally adopted a Resolution delegating authority to the California JPIA to handle Tort Liability Claims. This resolution is required by law and provides the California JPIA to legally act on the City's behalf. Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2009-48 delegating the Tort Liability Claims handling responsibilities to the California JPIA. Mayor Pro Tem Gary Taylorstated he actually meant to pull Consent Item G and not F. He asked for clarification on what the staff report stated regarding the City never granted the authority to the JPIA to handle tort liabilities in the court. City Manager Allred stated that was correct and that this was a housekeeping measure to make sure the City has the proper resolution in place. He added that this was discovered by an audit done by the JPIA and was brought up to staff's attention. Council Member Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Polly Low to approved Resolution No. b2009-48 delegating the Tort Liability Claims handling responsibilities to the California JPIA. Vote resulted in: Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 10 of 13 Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: None Absent: None Mayor Pro Tern Gary Taylor made a motion, seconded by Council Member Steven Ly to reconsider Consent Calendar Item G. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: None Absent: None G. Renewal of Municipal Law Enforcement Agreement The City Council will consider renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Agreement with the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department for another five year period. The agreement provides for subsequent extensions for successive periods of up to five years each upon mutual consent of the parties. Recon/ mmendation: That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement to continue the City's relationship with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for a period of five years. Mayor Pro Tern Gary Taylor asked if anyone had attachment A in their packet because it was referred to 7 times in this information. Mr. Taylor read the agreement which referred to "attachment A". Mr. Taylor stated the attachment had not been included in anyone's packet and he felt that was a document that needed to be read. City Manager Allred stated this item would be brought back with the attachment that was referred to on the agreement. 7. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF A. City Transportation Programs Overview The City of Rosemead offers residents a public transportation program that includes curb-to- curb and fixed route shuttle services. September 1, 2009 marked the one-year service anniversary for Southland Transit managing the City's local transit services. In order to gauge the effectiveness of the transit system, staff conducted a review of rider statistics and a comparison to local communities with similar services. Further, staff visited the City's community centers to gauge resident perceptions of the services. Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the one-year service review of the City's transportation program services. Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 11 of 13 Lillian Sacco - stated she was very surprise to read on the agenda that curb to curb was the only method use by the City's transit. She stated that a few months back a constituent had addressed Council regarding the problem her wheelchair bound husband had when the shuttle never picked him up. Mrs. Sacco suggested that a procedure be set up to accommodate pedestrians that due to health problems cannot wait by the curb that the rider come to the door and announce that the ride is ready. She added that this special request could be added at the time of the initial request call. She stated that this stipulation be added to the contract because it was the right thing to do and ask that Council please consider this request. Deputy Director of Public Works Chris Marcarello reviewed the staff report and went over a powerpoint presentation. Mayor Pro Tern Gary Taylor referred to the staff report where it stated that the City had received fewer than ten complaints; Mr. Taylor asked who kept records of the complaints and added that he wanted to see copies of the book. Mr. Marcarello responded that staff kept records of the complaints and would provide a copy as requested. Mr. Marcarello continued with his presentation. Council Member Polly Low asked if it was possible to include in the agreement the possibility of giving the caller a call when the driver has arrived at their home. Mr. Marcarello responded that would be something he could discuss with them. Council Member Sandra Armenta stated that when she was younger she and her cousin took the Rosemead Express to Montebello Mall and knew that was a great service but added that her concern was the speeding. Ms. Armenta stated that her street is a 25 mph zone and the shuttles go much faster than that. Council Member Polly Low stated that her son took the Rosemead Explorer frequently and his comments were that they were not always on time. Brian Lewin - stated he wanted to second on Council Member Armenta's comments. He stated that he was told some time ago that the shuttle speed on Ellis Lane and also, he has noticed that on Marshall going towards Rio Hondo there is a dip that for some reason make the drivers speed up. Mayor Pro Tem Gary Taylor asked if the City had received any accident reports. Mr. Marcarello stated that City had not received any accident reports; he had seen reports on unruly passengers but no accident reports. Mayor Pro Tern Gary Taylor stated he had personally seen the California rolling stop a few dozen times. Mr. Marcarello stated the issue Mrs. Sacco had brought up would be looked into and if the addition to the contract incurred addition cost then it would be brought back to Council. Rosemead City Council Meeting Minutes of September 8, 2009 Page 12 of 13 Council Member Steven Ly stated he wanted to thank staff for taking care of some graffiti by Commissioner Jean Hall's home. Mr. Ly stated he notified the City Manager on Sunday and by Monday morning the graffiti had been removed. 9.
