NTH. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE - None
Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, Rosemead, asked what will be discussed at the study session.
Don Wagner, Assistant City Manager, replied that the items discussed will be City Hall
remodel; esthetics of the Garvey Avenue Bridge; and authorization to proceed with public
meetings regarding the installation of medians on San Gabriel Boulevard.
Mr. Nunez pointed out that building medians on San Gabriel is not a good idea since the
State is in such a bad condition financially.
Councilman Taylor stated that most street improvements funding comes from federal
grant money, which is allocated to the cities. If the City does not spend it, then their money is
allocated to another city.
