7. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. Mid-Year Budget Update
The Council will be provided with a mid-year update presentation regarding the current 2009-
10 fiscal year budget along with a brief look towards the upcoming fiscal year. The Strategic
Plan identifies key goals and objectives to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and staff has
been working to ensure these are met. In terms of the General Fund, revenues have proven
to be stable and are generally in-line with budgeted projections. Sales tax revenues, while
down, are coming in better than anticipated and property tax revenues have been relatively
stable. General fund expenditures are remaining in line with budgeted figures and staff has
implemented cost savings measures when available. The projected bottom line for the end
of the fiscal year is excellent and staff anticipates that revenues and expenditures will be
balanced.
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the mid-year budget update report.
B. Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan Capital Improvement Projects
List
At its regular meeting of August 11, 2009, City Council reviewed findings from outreach
efforts related to the Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan. The purpose of
the Master Plan is to evaluate programs and facilities and, using community input, to
determine a 15-year strategy for meeting the changing recreational needs of residents. A
vital part of the project is the development of a specific Capital Improvement Projects plan.
Completion of the Master Plan is identified as Goal 1, Strategy 5 of Rosemead's Strategic
Plan. The Master Plan is in its final phase - completion of chapters on capital projects and
funding considerations. Both chapters are underway. However, in order to complete these, a
City Council approved list of prioritized capital projects is needed. The financial portion of the
plan; to be completed by Willdan Financial, will focus on funding options for these projects.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve a prioritized list of capital projects for
inclusion in the Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan.
C. Aquatic Facilities at Rosemead and Garvey Parks
Rosemead and Garvey Park Pools have remained inoperable since November 2009 due to a
variety of issues. These are the latest in a series of problems at the pools including safety
concerns, inaccessibility, and inefficiency. Over the past ten years, Rosemead has spent
nearly $4.5 million on maintenance, repairs, renovations, and utilities to keep the pools
operational. Currently, repairs at Rosemead Pool are estimated at $80,000 and $14,000 at
Garvey Pool. Given the long term operational costs and current conditions of both pools,
total renovation seems the most prudent way to address the numerous problems at these
aging facilities.
