Page 3 of 9 ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION JOINT MEETING AGENDA - July 27.2010 4. MATTERS FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR A. Solar Power System for Angelus and Garvey Senior Housing Levine Management Group (LMG), the management company of the two senior complexes owned by the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation recently contacted staff inquiring about the possibility of installing solar panels at the Angelus Senior Complex and the Garvey Senior Complex. This issue has come to the forefront due to the availability of significant rebates offered by Southern California Edison (SCE). SCE is a participant in the Multifamily Affordable Solar Housing (MASH) Program that provides up to 60% of the cost of solar systems. The MASH Program has been designed specifically to facilitate the acceleration of solar power in the affordable housing sector in California. Recommendation: That the Housing Development Corporation Board take the following actions: 1. Authorize the Executive Director to negotiate a Power Purchase Agreement with Solar City for the installation of solar panels at Angelus Senior Complex and Garvey Senior Complex. 2. Allocate an amount not to exceed $5,000 for the inspection of the roofs at each complex to ensure that they are in proper condition to accept the solar panels. 5. CLOSED SESSION A.

Whitmore Street Road Resurfacing Project, Phase II - Authorization to Solicit Bids As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2010-11 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council has approved the "Whitmore Street Resurfacing Project", which consists of the rehabilitation of Whitmore Street from San Gabriel Boulevard to Alhambra Wash. Funding for this project is available through the Community Development Block Grant program, which requires that funds be spent on specific project types and in specific target areas. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize staff to advertise and solicit bids to complete the improvement project. F. Bridge Painting Project at San Bernardino Freeway - Contract Award As part of the City's Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved funding to enhance the aesthetic look of City entry-points from the San Bernardino Interstate 10 Freeway. This project is included in these efforts and consists of painting three (3) freeway bridges at Rosemead Boulevard., San Gabriel Boulevard and Del Mar Avenue. Page 6 of 9 ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION JOINT MEETING AGENDA - July 27, 2010 The project consists of initial water blasting, sealing and priming all surfaces, followed by applying graffiti-resistant paint to ensure quick and easy removal if surfaces are tagged. In addition, the project calls for the installation of large City seals on the bridge walls, indicating entry into City of Rosemead, as appropriate. The color and logo design will be similar to the recently painted Walnut Grove Avenue bridge. The City of San Gabriel has expressed a desire to participate as a funding partner for the bridge painting work on the northern side of San Gabriel Boulevard and Del Mar Avenue. The City of El Monte has indicated its inability to provide funding for painting work on the southern side of Rosemead Boulevard. Recommendation: That the City Council: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Painting and Decor, LTD for the Bridge Painting Project at San Bernardino Freeway in the amount of $152,200. 2. Establish an amount of 10% of the contract amount ($15,220), as a contingency, to cover the potential cost of unforeseen site conditions. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute any agreement documents with the City of San Gabriel for its potential contribution towards the completion of this project. G. Treasurer's Report for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2010 In accordance with Government Code Section 53646 the City of Rosemead Treasurer's Report for the fourth quarter of FY 2009-10 is before Council for review. Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the "City of Rosemead Treasurer's Report" for the month ending June 30, 2010. 9. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF A. Proposed Community Use of Dinsmoor Heritage House Gardens During its regular meeting of May 25, 2010, City Council directed staff to assess rental use of the Dinsmoor Heritage House grounds by the community as with other City facilities. Given its aesthetic appeal, it is believed that the facility could generate revenue through such use for weddings, receptions, and other events. Those revenues could offset ongoing maintenance and repair costs of the Dinsmoor House and adjoining grounds. As no policies exist for the use of the facility, it is necessary to establish rules to govern its use and to set appropriate fees that cover the costs of such use and generate additional funds that would be set aside for Dinsmoor House maintenance. Page 7 of 9 ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION JOINT MEETING AGENDA - July 27, 2010 Recommendation: That the City Council approve the proposed Dinsmoor Heritage House Gardens application including rules and regulations, fee schedule, and cancellation policy to be effective October 1, 2010. B. Non-Resident Fee for Senior Meals Program At its regular meeting on May 25, 2010, City Council authorized an increase in non-resident fees for recreation programs. However, fees related to the senior lunch program were not adjusted because patrons are asked to pay a donation. Currently, 60% of the program budget is comprised of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, which is limited to resident services unless a specific finding is made. More than half of senior lunch program participants are non-residents. Thus, Rosemead is subsidizing a portion of non- resident meals with CDBG funding. It is, therefore, recommended that, while donations will continue to be requested of resident patrons, non-residents would be charged a flat fee for a meal to avoid continued subsidies. Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction in establishing fees for non- resident patrons of the senior lunch program: Option A: Establish a non-resident senior meal fee of $3 per meal effective August 2, 2010 and direct staff to assess fees annually in accordance with their actual cost; or Option B: Establish a non-resident senior meal fee of $2 per meal effective August 2, 2010 and increase the fee to $3 effective July 1, 2011, and direct staff to assess fees annually in accordance with their actual cost. C. Proposed "Social Host Underage Drinking and Consumption Accountability" Ordinance One of the many goals of the Rosemead Public Safety CONNECTIONS forum is to educate parents, grandparents, and other caregivers of their responsibilities to help young people to avoid the negative consequences associated with alcohol and drug use. The CONNECTIONS forum is recommending that the City Council adopt a "Social Host Underage Drinking and Consumption Accountability" Ordinance, which prohibits gatherings where alcohol is served to, consumed by or in the possession of underage persons. The purpose of the ordinance is to send a clear message to parents and others that have a responsibility not to allow underage drinking on their properties. The proposed ordinance will be a valuable resource and "tool" to assist Sheriff Deputies in the enforcement of underage drinking laws. Recommendation: That the City Council introduce for first reading Ordinance No. 899, entitled: Page 8 of 9 ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION JOINT MEETING AGENDA - July 27, 2010 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 9.18 ENTITLED "SOCIAL HOST UNDERAGE DRINKING AND CONSUMPTION ACCOUNTABILITY" TO THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE YOUTH AND OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD D. Street Name Sign Design and Replacement Program As part of the City's Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved funding to implement a signage replacement program. This program is aimed at meeting new Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements for signage reflectivity on all City-owned signs (regulatory signs, warning signs, and street name signs). According to these requirements, the City's current street name sign background color of yellow will also not be in compliance. Prior to developing a replacement program for street name signs, the Traffic Commission developed a new design to meet the new reflectivity requirements. Recommendation: That the City Council concur with the Traffic Commission's recommendation for a new street name sign design and authorize the replacement of signs in conjunction with street resurfacing projects and as funding allows, 10. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL A. Consideration to Cancel the August 10, 2010 Community Development Commission and City Council Meetings Due to upcoming scheduling conflicts and a lack of scheduled business items, the City Council will consider action to cancel the August 10, 2010, Community Development Commission and City Council Meetings. Meeting cancellations will result in cost savings of city attorney's fees. The next regular scheduled meeting date will be August 24, 2010. Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction. 11. ADJOURNMENT The next regular joint Community Development Commission, the Rosemead Financing Authority, and City Council meeting is scheduled to take place on August 24, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., respectively.
