C. The Waiving of Plan Check and Building Permit Fees for Residential Photovoltaic
Solar Panel Installation
In accordance with General Plan and Policies to promote and provide incentives to
encourage energy efficiency, the Community Development Department is proposing that the
City Council consider waiving plan check and building permit fees for the installation of
photovoltaic solar panels on residential properties. This fee waiver is being proposed at this
time to capitalize on the potential interest generated by the adoption of a proposed resolution
in support of an AB 811 program which provides financing for solar panels through the
County of Los Angeles.
In the last two years there were a total of five (5) permits issued for solar panels; three (3) in
fiscal year 2009-10 and two (2) in fiscal year 2008-09. The total revenue generated from
these permits was $1,501.50. Waiving the fees would add a benefit to Rosemead residents
with a relatively low impact to the fiscal structure of the City.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 201049, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA,
TO WAIVE THE PLAN CHECK AND BUILDING PERMIT FEES FOR THE INSTALLATION
OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PANELS ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
D. Adoption of Resolution Authorizing Participation in the Los Angeles County Energy
Program
Assembly Bill 811 was approved by the State Legislature and signed by the Governor on
July 21, 2008. AB 811 and its amendments authorize local governments to provide financing
to qualified property owners for the installation of energy and water efficiency improvements
and distributed generation renewable energy sources that are permanently fixed to their
respective properties. Participating property owners repay the cost of the improvements
through an assessment levied against their property which is payable in semi-annual
installments on property tax bills and a lien is filed against the property as security. The
assessment remains with the property should the owner transfer or sell it.

ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
JOINT MEETING AGENDA - July 13, 2010
On May 25, 2010 the County of Los Angeles approved the Los Angeles County Energy
Program (LACEP) which is an AB 811 voluntary contractual assessment program to finance
the installation of such improvements within the unincorporated areas of the County. These
voluntary contractual assessments may also be entered into by property owners in
incorporated cities subsequent to the adoption of a resolution of participation in LACEP by
the legislative body of the incorporated city.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2010-36, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA,
CONSENTING TO INCLUSION OF PROPERTIES WITHIN THE INCORPORATED AREA
OF THE CITY IN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY ENERGY PROGRAM TO FINANCE
DISTRIBUTED GENERATION RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND ENERGY AND
WATER EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS, APPROVING THE PROGRAM REPORT
SETTING FORTH THE PARAMETERS OF THE REFERENCED
PROGRAM AND CERTAIN MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
E. Hellman Avenue Resurfacing - Authorization to Solicit Bids

titled "Hellman Avenue Resurfacing", which consists of asphalt concrete overlay, sidewalk
repairs, traffic striping, signage installation, curb ramps construction, traffic signal upgrades,
street trees installation, and appurtenances, The limits of the project are from Jackson
Avenue to Walnut Grove Avenue.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize staff to advertise and solicit bids to

created a long-term vision for Rosemead's future and established goals, strategies, and
action plans geared toward making that vision a reality. During the last six months, many of
the action items have been completed or are in progress.
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the report.

8. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. Emergency Generator for City Hall - Award Consulting Contract for the Design Phase
As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2010-11 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council
approved funding to replace the existing undersized and inadequate standby generator at
City Hall with a new 250 kW engine emergency generator.
The existing backup generator at City Hall is 13 kW and only backs up a limited number of
operational activities. Several electrical outletslutilities are not currently tied to the existing
generator, including the majority of facility lighting, air conditioning system, computers and
telecommunications devices. Upgrading the exiting generator would allow City operations to
be fully operational during power outage or an emergency, for up to 72 hours.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract
with Consultant Lee & Ro, Inc. for Design Engineering and Construction Management
services for the installation of a new 250 kW emergency generator at City Hall for an amount
of not-to-exceed $69,960.
9. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
