second floor and an attachment regarding samples of sizes of homes
that could be constructed on different size lots.

19 K4IH:7,4 i
Mayor Imperial explained the background on this item and asked
for Council support.
Robert Angles, 9720 Valley Boulevard, was against any type of
program that might conceivably aid illegal immigrants and was
against Rosemead's participation.
Juan Nunez, 2701 Del Mar Avenue, agreed with Mr. Angles adding
fears that the program would outgrow available staff.
While Councilman Taylor agreed with the concept of assisting
people he stated the belief that there were churches and other
organizations already in place to aid with the immigration process;
did not want the City to get involved in a Federal program; asked
this be deferred to the next meeting for more information; and asked
that staff contact the San Gabriel Mission, St. Anthony's Church,
Ephiphany in South E1 Monte, Nativity in E1 Monte, and St. Luke's in
Temple City.
Councilman Bruesch was opposed to the use of City staff in
implementation of this program and noted that the school districts
have programs in place to aid immigrants.
