PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE Brian Lewin mentioned that Mayor Pro Tern Ly attended a Water Resource Control Board meeting and reiterated that he had mentioned storm water issues before. The Water Resource Control Board is establishing new requirements and asked that Council reconsider some of the things he has considered in the past and become more proactive. Mr. Lewin suggested that Code Enforcement and Planning Department become more proactive in regards to storm water practices and design elements; including educational outreach especially for automotive facilities, food service establishments, and retailer gas outlets which are all classed as storm water critical sources. He continued that little things can be done that have significant effect on storm water quality before you have to start doing the more expensive things, such as installing screens and catch basins. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated he did attend a Regional Water Quality Board meeting and explained that the city's position was that the requirements and regulations the board puts on this region were essentially unfunded mandates. Mr. Ly explained the board basically said the City would have to pay $2 million to deal with storm water issues in order to swim in the L.A River. He felt it was a travesty that the board saw fit to put unfunded mandate on cities and the whole region during this economic state. Mr. Ly agreed that the city should be in the forefront, and in terms of standards, they should be standards that the city can follow and should do. Mayor Taylor asked Mr. Ly to clarify his comment on the $2 million a year statement. Mayor Pro Tern Ly replied that it was his understanding that it would cost the city $2 million a year to deal with the Total Maximum Daily Load of bacteria and to get run -offs to be manageable. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 3 of 25 Mayor Taylor asked how many other cities were involved. Mayor Pro Tem Ly replied there were a good deal of cities such as, Long Beach, Huntington Park, and Signal Hill who voiced their opinions; however the board did not listen. The board voted unanimously to adopt new regulations on to the cities. Mayor Taylor stated it was a bureaucracy. Council Member Clark stated that a lot of the bacteria is coming from birds, dogs, and other animals which is natural. Mayor Taylor commented the city will have to see what can be done regarding this issue and where the money will be obtained from. Jay Conner - teacher from Rosemead Adult School and Business Manager for Saint Joseph Salesian Youth Center invited the City Council to attend the welcoming of the Don Bosco Relic on September 16th. He explained the Relic is Don Bosco himself, in a glass coffin, it's six and a half feet tall and ten feet long and it travels in specialty trucks that carry Vatican license plates. The relic that will be in the, United States is a fiber glass replica of Don Bosco in complete vestment and his actual right hand will be in the case. The relic has been traveling since January 2009 and will be in hundred thirty countries around the world. The relic is visiting California for eight days and five of the stops will be in Southern California and two are in the City of Rosemead. Mayor Taylor asked where the other location will be in Rosemead. Mr. Conner - replied the second stop will be in Don Bosco Technical Institute. After it leaves Don Bosco Technical Institute, the students will push the relic across the parking lot to Saint Joseph which is adjacent to Don Bosco Technical Institute. Don Bosco will spend the night out doors and a number of youths will spend the night. There will be a lot of events and Don Bosco Technical Institute will be open for students and alumnis. The Saint Joseph's event will be opened to the public forum, with events and activities for children and adults. Mayor Taylor asked at what time the event began. Mr. Conner - stated that the event will be on September 16th at Don Bosco Technical Institute at 1:00 p.m. and at 5:00 p.m. the relic would travel to Saint Joseph's until 8:30 a.m. the next morning. Mayor Taylor thanked Mr. Conner for presenting the information because there are some people that do not understand the catholic religion, the relics, and saints. Mr. Taylor stated that he learned something new regarding the relic coming from Rome and being kept in specific trucks. Mr. Conner - thanked Council and passed out flyers for the event. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 4 of 25 Juan Nunez - asked if there was an ordinance on loud music during the night or day time Mayor Taylor replied yes; there is an ordinance however somebody has to make a complaint and depending on how loud the noise is. Mr. Nunez - stated that there are people who do complain but do not want to be identified; he added that he will bring a list with their names. He stated that there was loud music across from where he lives on Del Mar and that he called the Sheriff's Department and was told that there was no ordinance or resolution. Mayor Taylor stated that Mr. Nunez has come to the Council before with this in the past and information was given to him; explained that there is an ordinance in place. Mr. Nunez - he stated that he has called deputies before and nothing has been done Mayor Taylor asked if the music was going on while the deputies were there. Mr. Nunez - replied yes. Mayor Taylor stated that usually a warning will be given to stop the music. He asked Mr. Nunez what was the most current issue he was referring to. Mr. Nunez - replied it occurred on July 3rd, Mayor Taylor asked Mr. Nunez if he had any neighbors that can support what he is talking about. Mr. Nunez - stated that he spoke to a neighbor from Evelyn Street who said they do hear the music; they were supposed to come in before the council. Mayor Taylor recommended to Mr. Nunez to keep a log with dates and times and bring it back to the city. Council MemberArmenta asked that a copy of the noise ordinance be sent to the Temple Sheriffs Station. 5.

Mayor Pro Tem Ly inquired about warrant 2010 -50, page 12, a reimbursement of planning fees to Tammy Gong and a reimbursement to Big Island property on page 2. Community Development Director Wong stated that Ms. Gong had a project in the City of Rosemead and as part of the project entitlement she was requested a deposit of certain amount of money. She did not forfeit the project; in fact staff terminated the project and that is why the city is refunding the unused portion of the money back to Ms. Gong. Mayor Pro Tern Ly asked about Big Island Property on page 2 in the amount for $5,614.11 for Environmental Review Department. Council Member Armenta clarified that it was a refund deposit not department. Community Development Director Wong stated it was similar to Ms. Gong's refund for the unused portion of money that the city kept. Mayor Pro Tern Ly inquired about warrant 2010 -51, Signal Hills Membership fees and asked what membership does the City have with Signal Hill. City Manager Allred explained that it had to do with the storm water run -off compliance. Public Works Director Marcarello stated that the City of Signal Hill administers the program for 42 member cities along the Los Angeles Rivers and what Mr. Lewin was referring to earlier regarding storm water. Mayor Taylor inquired about Resolution 2010 -51 on pagel regarding the California JPIA; stated he wanted copies of insurance premium in the amount of $413,119. Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth replied the city did not receive a credit from the JPIA this year but did receive a credit for the previous year. Mayor Taylor asked for the reports for the last five years on what the city paid and what claims have been filed. He commented that Council had already been given a report explaining some of the information. Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth replied it was in the weekly update. Mayor Taylor stated he was puzzled that there were 112 or 123 cities that were re- assess and given a refund. Mr. Taylor added other cities got it also and asked what happened in the program. Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth replied that staff is working on an analysis with the JPIA; they do an Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 7 of 25 eight year retrospective cycle and it will actually be an eight year evaluation on the city. Staff will provide a list of all claims that have been fled with the city to the Council. City Manager Allred commented the city has had one very large claim which the council is aware of; that claim will come back and haunt the city in terms of increase deposits because that liability has been charged. Mayor Pro Tern Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Sandra Armenta, to approve Consent Calendar EXCEPT the April 13, 2010 minutes. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: None Absent: None 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. 2010 -49, 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 Council Member Clark stated she saw in the news that a home owner installed solar panels in front of his roof. Mrs. Clark asked if there are any guidelines that would prevent people from putting solar panel just anywhere or as to where residents can put solar panels. Mayor Taylor replied that they may be governed whether they are going to be facing the sun. Community Development Director Wong stated that other than where the sunlight can be directly on it; as for aesthetics, it's difficult to control. Residents are permitted by right and to place solar panels in the most Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 8 of 25 convenient place where the sun will hit it. Council Member Clark asked for an explanation on permitted right Community Development Director Wong replied solar panels are permitted by right, in which anybody wanting to install a solar panel can do so by applying for a building permit without going through any discretional review. City Manager Allred added there is no design review. City Attorney Richman commented that it was State law. Council Member Clark asked if the neighbors would have no case. City Attorney Richman replied, you are allowed to encourage solar use. Council Member Clark asked if people could put them in front of their roof if it's facing the sun. Community Development Director Wong replied it was correct if that's where they get the most benefit. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated that the program is in conjunction with the County and is specifically for residential purposes. Mr. Ly asked if there is a way to adopt a similar program for commercial businesses. Mayor Taylor stated that is coming next, when you look at the County pack on back of the agenda. Mayor Pro Tem Ly reiterated that AB811 is only for residential and asked if there is something the City can do for commercial businesses; he stated there will be a benefit. Community Development Director Wong replied in terms of waiving fees, yes the City can. City Manager Allred commented that it's within the discretion of the council if they wish to provide waivers as well. Mayor Pro Tem Ly asked if staff needed more time to bring it back. City Manager Allred stated that staff's recommendation is to waive plan check fees for residential solar installations. If the Council wished to expand that to commercial properties that could happen under their direction. Mr. Allred added that staff did not recommend that in the staff report. Community Development Director Wong stated that staff did not mind for small businesses, but did mind for larger businesses such as Macy's because it requires a lot of staff time reviewing. City Manager Allred stated that staff would review, have a study done, and bring it back to Council as a separate item. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 9 of 25 Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated this is a great program and would like to see it expand to commercial businesses. Council Member Polly Low made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Steven Ly, to approve Resolution No. 2010.49, to waive the plan check and building permit fees for the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on residential properties. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: None Absent: None 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. 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 Juan Nunez - asked what are the qualifications if local governments are authorized to provide financing to qualified property owners. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 10 of 25 Mayor Taylor stated that in the agenda packet it goes from item A to J and there are ten forms that have to be filled out to get into the program. Mr. Taylor clarified that it's not the City's money; they are bonds that the County would sell and the County is responsible for all financing and it's a direct deal between the home owner and County. Mayor Pro Tern Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Sandra Armenta, to approve Resolution 2010.36, authorizing participation in the Los Angeles County Energy Program Assembly Bill 811. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: None Absent: None E. Hellman Avenue Resurfacing — Authorization to Solicit Bids As part of the City's Capital Improvement Program, the City Council has approved a project 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 complete the improvement project. Juan Nunez - stated the County sent home owners a card where it showed roots growing into the sewer lines and that the home owner is responsible for maintaining the trees on the street. Mayor Taylor replied that the property line is a distinction between who pays for what. Mr. Nunez - stated that eventually the roots of trees will go in the lines. Mr. Nunez asked about the streets that have 2 to 3 foot sidewalks; will the City take property from those homeowners. Mayor Taylor explained that he did not see that happening and that Hellman Avenue is a secondary major highway. Mr. Nunez - suggested that when the tanks go to water the tree wells they should also take the roots growing out of them. Council Member Armenta stated that they could not do both at the same time. Mayor Taylor asked if there was a specific location where weeds are over growing. Mr. Nunez replied that they're not as high as before but there are still weeds over growing. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 11 of 25 Mayor Taylor suggested to Mr. Nunez to notify staff of particular areas Mr. Nunez - also asked if the corners by Del Mar Avenue are going to be re -done and if the pads for the handicapped would be installed. Mayor Taylor stated that the handicapped curb ramps pads have been corrected from Jackson Avenue to San Gabriel Boulevard and from San Gabriel to Walnut Grove they have the old existing: Mr. Taylor asked staff if those were going to change. Public Works Director Marcarello replied not if they have been already changed Mayor Taylor stated that they are the old obsolete type Public Works Director Marcarello stated that if they have not been reconstructed as part of the economic stimulus project then they will be included with the Hellman project. Mr. Nunez - stated that on Del Mar Avenue and Garvey Avenue on the southeast corner the sidewalk has been done but they did not put a pad. Council Member Clark asked how recently the city waters the trees when trees are planted Public Works Director Marcarello explained that as part of the contract staff includes a 90 day maintenance period, which includes watering and general maintenance of the trees. Then the maintenance refers to the city's tree trimming program and staff assumes responsibility and includes it with the annual tree maintenance services. Council Member Clark stated that as far as watering it was only three months and added that a resident mentioned to her that they had several trees die. Mrs. Clark asked if the city can watch those and take them out. Public Works Director Marcarello asked if there was a specific address where these trees where located because none have been brought to his attention. Mayor Taylor mentioned the handicapped ramps on Jackson Avenue and Hellman; he stated they had all been replaced except the two on the north side of Hellman and Jackson. He asked why those two where left out. Mayor Pro Tern Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Polly Low, to authorize staff to advertise and solicit bids to complete the improvement project. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 12 of 25 Abstain: None Absent: None Strategic Plan — Status Report on Goals On December 8, 2009, the City Council approved the Rosemead Strategic Plan. The plan 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. Mayor Pro Tem Ly inquired about the fagade program for commercial businesses within the city's project areas and asked that staff contact Di Pilla's Restaurant and ask if they are willing to participate in the first pilot program. Also, he stated that as part of the strategic plan the city is to protect its revenue sources and control expenses; therefore, asked that they find ways to protect redevelopment money as well as other funds that the State might take from the city. He asked that a regular report from the Lobbyist Gonzalves and Sons be prepared regarding certain things that might be considered unfunded mandates. City Manager Allred responded that staff will contact Di Pilla's and make them aware of the program. Secondly, with regards to Gonzalves and Sons, Mr. Allred stated he spoke with Anthony Gonzalves and he would like to come and make a presentation in a workshop format on a Thursday evening. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated that he would prefer if the workshop be held on a Tuesday. Mayor Taylor suggested July 27th. Council Member Clark asked if they are in recess now. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated that there is an August recess. City Manager Allred commented that Mr. Gonzalves suggested an August meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated that the city pays them $2,500 a month and that he would prefer the workshop on July 27th. Mayor Taylor stated that he did not have a problem with the 27th or the first meeting in August. Also, asked to obtain the annual lobbyist report which the city files annually. Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth replied he has not seen it. Mayor Taylor asked when he last saw one because it's an annual report that is required by law. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 13 of 25 Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth replied that when he was researching the Gonzalves and Son's issue none were found in the City Clerk's files for the past couple of years. Mayor Taylor stated that the City is asked to file the reports because they are hiring them as their lobbyist. Mr. Taylor commented that somebody was signing papers that he was in agreement for 25 years; however, he did not sign those papers. Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth replied that they get filed quarterly and will provide them to Council. Mayor Pro Tern Ly stated he would like to see what the lobbyist have to say about the industry bill in return for the State taking redevelopment money; it would give the city the ability to expand redevelopment project area for X amount of years. He believes it is retroactive to the last taking. Asked to see a full report from the lobbyist to see if it's being used as one of the pond pieces in the State budget for the upcoming year. Mayor Pro Tern Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Sandra Armenta, to receive and file the report. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly, Taylor No: None Abstain: None Absent: None 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 outlets /utilities 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. City Manager Allred reviewed the staff report. Mayor Taylor expressed concerned about the consultant costing over $70,000 and staff bringing in a pre - Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes or July 13, 2010 Page 14 or 25 manufactured generator. Mr. Taylor asked where the generator would be placed. Senior Management Analyst Hentabli replied the current 13 kilowatt generator is located at the southeast corner of City Hall. Mayor Taylor asked if it was in the storage area. Senior Management Analyst Hentabli replied yes and that is where the consultant is recommending the new generator be placed. Mayor Taylor asked if staff is purchasing a pre- manufactured unit, why the cost was $70,000. Senior Management Analyst Hentabli stated the consultant services amount of $69,960 would be for coming up with a design, exact specifications for the generator, and for providing construction management inspections for the construction and placing of the generator. Mayor Taylor expressed concern because regarding, staff bringing a pre- manufactured unit to put into a location that is there and the design loads that are needed for that should already be known. Senior Management Analyst Hentabli stated there are itemized costs involved for the estimated project on page 13 of the consultant's report analysis. There are itemized costs of the proposed generator, 210 side demo, paving and grading, diesel fuel, the containment, the screen wall, and the electrical instrumentation. Mr. Hentabli reiterated the electrical and instrumentation has to have specifications for that instrumentation and electrical. The city does not have an in -house staff expertise to inspect that. Mayor Taylor asked what Willdan does when they go out to do a job. Senior Management Analyst Hentabli stated that if the city got Willdan on board they would charge the city for the inspection of the project. He added the inspection is included in the $69,960 amount. Public Works Director Marcarello stated that Willdan serves as an independent reviewing body on behalf of the city and verify that plans are completed and electrical specifications are appropriate for the project. What staff is asking for in this consultant agreement is the expertise in terms of permit in the air quality district to determine the appropriate sizing and specifications for this facility. This is a bit above the expertise of a general civil engineer and more of a mechanical engineering expertise. Mayor Taylor disagreed with the amount of $70,000 being paid for one transaction and for a pre - manufactured item because the fee is only for the consultant fee and for not the work. City Manager Allred commented that staff interviewed firms to provide some bids on the design work, Lee & Ro suited the best to do the work for the city in terms of qualifications and bid. Mayor Pro Tem Ly asked how long the generator at the Public Safety Center has left. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 15 of 25 Senior Management Analyst Hentabli replied he did not know Mayor Pro Tem Ly explained that what is being proposed for city hall is a 72 hour generator. And that being that the Public Safety Center is the city's emergency operation center it would be good to have it's generator last just as long or longer. Mayor Taylor stated that it depended on the amount of fuel that was put in the tanks and the biggest fuel tanks would be bought to last longer. Council Member Low asked if this was for the installation of three units Mayor Taylor reiterated that this is just to consult on installation. Public Works Director Marcarello replied that this was for the design services for only the city hall's generators, which included sizing, the concrete slab, and determining the appropriate size of the generator for the facility, as well as, the appropriate switch gear and the electrical devices to insure city hall is adequately powered during temporary power outage or an emergency situation. Council Member Low asked if the unit itself was an "off the shelf' product. Public Works Director Marcarello replied yes. Council Member Low asked if the design was to figure out what type of model to purchase. Senior Management Analyst Hentabli stated that according to the consultant the generator needed to be ordered and that is the reason staff has a lead time to purchase the generator. Mayor Taylor stated that is understandable; however that has nothing to do with the consultant's fee. Council Member Low stated it was 154 hours just to prepare the design preparation documentation. Mayor Taylor replied that was just four weeks. Council Member Low stated she calculated 152 hours a month to do just the design and asked if the generator is an "off the shelf generator' then why does it take a whole month to produce the design work. Dhiru Patel - representative of Lee & Ro explained the unit is "off the shelf' and that it will be permitted easily by AQMD. He further explained that most of the work that Lee & Ro will be conducting is the integrating of the unit to its proper location and making sure the electrical power and that the unit integrate well with the existing switch gears that are relatively old. The objective is to prepare plans and specs so it can be put out to the bidding community and get consistent and cost effective bids. Mr. Patel reiterated that the consultant will be studying the following when producing the design: the integration within the facility, the aesthetics, water impact, noise issues, any parking lot issues, and interference. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 16 of 25 Mayor Taylor asked if it is an enclosed unit area right now. Mr. Patel - replied yes. Mayor Taylor asked if the unit would be replaced it in that position. Mr. Patel - replied they would be looking at several different options. Mayor Taylor asked what other option the consultant was considering. Public Works Director Marcarello stated that staff is looking in the same general vicinity. Mayor Taylor stated we are zeroing in on a simple project because staff is buying an off the shelf unit. It will be replaced on an existing location that is already there. Mr. Taylor asked the consultant if they looked at the switch gear in the building. Mr. Patel - replied they have done some preliminary evaluation. Mayor Taylor asked what the evaluation was and if the switch gear was usable. Mr. Patel - stated that there are concerns because they are relatively old. Mayor Taylor stated that replacing those is more a construction cost and expressed frustration due to paying $70,000 for somebody to come in and spend roughly 160 hours of labor for an isolated location. He added that was roughly $15,000 to $16,000 a week. Council Member Low stated that when she looks at the design phase from the improvement design to the final design, the hours add up to two months or 2.9 months. Mrs. Low understood that the consultant has to do some design to make sure the unit fits the location and the integration with the current system works well. Mr. Patel - stated that the design goes through several steps and every step is drafted with city staff to obtain input. Mr. Patel added that no one wants to have equipment that breaks down after six months. There are many things that go in doing the evaluation. Mayor Taylor reiterated that the city is going to purchase a finished unit; parts are not going to be added that would be engineered as the low capacity. Mr. Taylor stated that there is still the construction cost on top of the consultant cost. Mr. Patel - stated that several years it was done differently and now this was the standard process; the consultant has to prepare the plans and specs consistent, biddable, and award change orders and there are no short cuts. Mayor Taylor stated that it's not about short cuts but the procedures that are being followed Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 17 of 25 Council MemberArmenta asked if there was any way of knowing what the cost would be if the city didn't retain a consultant and just bought the unit and calculated the construction cost. Mayor Taylor advised that he would not go that route because there is a certain amount of liability in the amount of voltage. Council MemberArmenta stated that the liability would be higher than contracting with a consultant. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated that a few months ago when the electrical power went out there was not enough power generated by the generator. He added that although the cost is a bit high staff feels that it's a very competitive cost and the city will get a good product. Council MemberArmenta asked if this was the lowest bid staff received. Public Works Director Marcarello replied yes and explained that this is for design services and after the specifications and plans are developed they will be brought back to council for review. Then staff can move forward with construction and procurement of the equipment. Mayor Pro Tern Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Margaret Clark, to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Consultant Lee & Ro, Inc. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly No: Taylor Abstain: None Absent: None 9. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL A. Proposed League of California Cities Resolutions The City Council will consider the support of two resolutions proposed to be presented to the League of California Cities General Assembly as drafted by Mayor Pro Tern Ly. Mike Lewis - representative the Construction Industry Air Quality Coalition stated that it is a good idea to contract for the generator because it includes AQMD permitting process. Mr. Lewis recounted when the Coalition battled a bill through the Legislature that would allow the air district to issue offset credits for emergency generators. There were 14,000 permits that were held up for emergency generators for cellular towers, hotel elevators and city halls due to homeland security requirements because the environmentalists did not want to give away offsets. Mayor Taylor asked for Mr. Lewis to explain what were offset credits. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 18 of 25 Mr. Lewis - explained that the idea is for there to be a zero sum game. If someone puts comissions in the air then you have to buy offset credits from somebody else. Mr. Lewis stated since it didn't really exist the Air District created a bank of all offsets that they would give to provide because there was no market. Mayor Taylor stated he watched a program and in South America the natural forest is a credit to the industry and they can pay for those credits although they are not using the jungle. Mr. Lewis - explained that forests absorb carbon dioxide and the more foreststation there is the more CO2 is removed from the air and in many jungle areas they are cutting forest down. Companies will pay so that some forests do not get cut in order to offset their CO2. Mr. Lewis spoke the Coalition he represents and explained it is made up of major construction associations in Southern California. The funding comes from a trust fund, in which every employee of the union contributes $0.06 cents an hour to the fund. The Coalition has been tracking AB 32 extensively to determine what impacts it's going to have on the construction industry. The premise is to reduce consumption and burning of fossil fuels and there are a lot of initiatives on their way to that. For example, there is pressure to set standards for tire air pressure, the premise being if your tires have enough air in them you'll get better mileage, burn less fuel and reduce CO2. There will also be a lot of attachments that will be provided to big rig trucks to make them more aerodynamic and increase its mileage. Mr. Lewis stated that as those things are coming out which affect the economy and also increase the cost of doing business and also aim on making it more expensive to consume fuel. The more expensive you make the fuel the more attractive you make the alternatives and that is what the cap and trade is aiming at. There has been much said about creating green jobs and suggested that council visit the commerce website and see what they define as green jobs; a lot of the green jobs are not being created just being renamed. The best jobs that you could get in California were in manufacturing and we've regulated most of those jobs out of the region. The one piece of the green house gas legislation that is going to be most costly for construction is the early phases on cement, which creates the most carbon dioxide. Because of the economy green house gas in the United Stated has declined 7 percent. Until there is a global determination as to how we are going to approach green house gas control, for California to go it alone, we are going to penalize our selves. The economy is doing more for air pollution now than any regulatory scheme has ever done. Mayor Taylor stated that he opposed the bill. Mr. Lewis replied the resolution itself was fine. Mayor Taylor stated that the request was for Council to support the League of Cities to oppose the bill Council Member Low asked if that was the position of the League Mayor Pro Tem Ly explained that in an April meeting, the League of California Cities brought committees together to discuss AB 32 and SB 375. AB 32 is the California version of cap and trade and making sure that green house gas emissions are controlled in the State. SB 375 is an implementation bill of AB 32 where it would require planning agencies to design their planning portfolios to benefit AB 32. Mr. Ly expressed concern with what is on SB 375 in which the legislature wants regional planning bodies, cities, and organizations to do the research and begin working, but give no money to do that. Unfunded mandates hurt local government agencies, cities, and regional bodies which do not have the money and are required to do Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 19 of 25 it. The League asked the policy committees to take a position on the issue and there was a 2 to 1 vote to support to suspend any legislation on AB 32 and SIB 375. Mr. Ly added those positions went to the board of directors in a May meeting and his opinion was that they took the easy road by not taking a position on the issue even though the policy committees reviewed it and took a position. Council Member Clark stated that she was focused on getting their ballot measure passed which would protect local government revenues. The committee worked very hard to get signatures on the initiative and it qualified; getting that passed is going to show Sacramento that the voters want their local revenues to stay in the local community. Sacramento continues to pass bills that take away funding; they take away whatever they can. When they get in trouble they go to the cities and take money away that is generated by the people that live here and it should stay where it's generated. Mrs. Clark expressed that she did not want to have this issue divide the League of Cities because the committee finally got this on the ballot for this November. Also she stated that if this were to happen in September it would not be enough time to get it on the campaign literature and the ballots would be going out right about then. There would be no time for the list of oppositions for the League of Cities. Mrs. Clark reiterated that the League would become distracted and divided and would not want this resolution to go to the League. She suggested that council ask to go on the record to postpone AB 32 until jobs come back at 5 percent; reading an excerpt, "When the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 was adopted, California unemployment was 4.8 percent ". Mrs. Clark explained that unemployment is at 12 percent and there is concerns with jobs moving away from California if businesses are squeezed with over regulations; they move out to other States or Countries where they don't have environmental and labor regulations; they outsource jobs and do not save the environment. She commented that sometimes they go on barges in bringing cheap goods and they go back empty: Instead of recycling in the United States they are going to China which does not have the same regulations. Mrs. Clark reiterated that AB 32 needs to be postponed but did not want this to go to the League of Cities at this time because it's crucial that we get our ballot measure through. Mayor Taylor stated it is a "double whammy" because not only does the environment suffer but also there is at 2 percent of unemployment; that is one out of eight people not working. Mayor Pro Tern Ly believed the unemployment rate is actually at 20 percent rather than 12 percent if those who have given up looking for jobs are included. He stated after discussions with Mrs. Clark, he prefers to go to the League with this important issue. Mr. Ly asked to amend the fourth clause of AB 32 resolution regarding Global Warming Solutions Act, to read "therefore be it resolve that the City of Rosemead supports until legislation and measures that will suspend AB 32, implementation California unemployment returns to 5 percent or lower" and erase the last clause which no longer would be relevant. Council Member Low asked what did it mean if the last clause was erased. Mrs. Low stated that after listening to both sides; she agreed with both however understood Council Member Clark's comments and thought Council should focus on the ballot measure first. Mayor Pro Tem Ly replied that Council would not be submitting this to the League and that the initial proposal was to submit both resolutions to the League at the general assembly meeting for them to vote on the issue. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 20 of 25 Council Member Low stated Council should work with the League and they can help the City. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated the League has taken a no position and they tabled the issue indefinitely. Council Member Low asked if there is any way Council can work with them to bring this issue back Both Council Member Clark and Mayor Pro Tem Ly replied no. Council Member Armenta commented that she is a voting delegate and she had been in contact with Jennifer Quan of the League. Ms. Armenta stated she will be voting on this issue and representing the City of Rosemead. She added the League did not want to state a position as Mrs. Clark and Mr. Ly had stated. The League is scared and they are not going to be able to pass proposition 22, which is local tax payer's money. She added that Council needed to make sure the money is given back to local governments' because Council was trying to do the best for the residents. Mayor Taylor stated that Council is not doing the best for the residents when they are saying, "well, we will finesse the way around it and we will not rock the boat so that nothing is going to change and the League is not going to change so we've defy ourselves were going to put it in this little room and close the door and it doesn't get out ". Mr. Taylor stated that there are restrictions with so many different things and a lot of jobs are being lost. He added the environment was not being protected and that he supports the resolutions as is. City Manager Allred clarified that the first resolution regarding AB 32, fourth paragraph will read, "Therefore be it be resolve that the City of Rosemead supports legislation and measures that would suspend AB 32 implementation until California employment returns to 5 percent or lower ". Mayor Taylor stated that Council is voting on this issue but it is not going to the League. City Manager Allred replied yes; and stated that resolution SB 375, fourth paragraph would read, "Therefore it be resolve that the City of Rosemead supports legislation and measures that would suspend SB 375 implementation until California legislature fully funds all implementation cost and address the loss of local land use control ". Mayor Pro Tem Ly asked that Council vote on these separately. He mentioned that staff talked before about cutting the lobbyist because the League does such a great job in representing the city's interest; that is true, but on this situation the League did not represent the city's interest. The policy committees were quite clear, they were overwhelming in the position that AB 32 and SB 375 needed to be suspended because the residents are hurting. When unemployment is at 20 percent the way the economy is now and reduction of green house gases is not good enough according to the regulatory bodies. How the economy is right now and how the outputs on emissions are, it needs to be worst, it needs to go back even lower. Mr. Ly stated AB 32 and SB 375 would make it worst; and he would be telling everyone that the City of Rosemead had the guts to take a position. Also other cities are planning to adopt their own resolutions because the League didn't do its job. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 21 of 25 Council Member Clark stated that there is another proposition in the ballot that would suspend AB 32 so the City would essentially be on the list of supporters. Council Member Armenta stated that it is a very hot topic; and that when she spoke to Jennifer Quan it was clear it is a lose -lose situation. Mayor Taylor asked Mr. Ly about who was overwhelmingly opposed to it. Mayor Pro Tem Ly replied that during the policy committee meetings, three out of four committees voted 27 to 9 and 25 to 10 to support the suspension of AB 32 and SB 375. Mayor Taylor stated that everyone was going to vote in their council chamber and it was not necessary to mix up the pot at the League of California Cities. Council Member Clark stated that it is not going to fly anyway and it is going to cuase a huge controversy; Council should focus on getting people to vote for our measure and ask them to suspend AB 32 on their own personal. Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated that for the sake of the unity in the Council he would have no problem amending the resolution so Council can get their position out there. Council Member Margaret Clark made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Steven Ly to propose a resolution to amend AB 32 and state, "Therefore it be resolve that the City of Rosemead supports legislation and measures that would suspend AB 32 implementation until California employment returns to 5 percent or lower" and be presented to the League of California Cities General Assembly as drafted by Mayor Pro Tem Ly. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Clark, Low, Ly No: Taylor Abstain: None Absent: None Mayor Taylor stated the Council is standing up and saying they don't agree with this. Mayor Pro Tem Steven Ly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Polly Low, to proposed a resolution and amend SB 375 and have it state, "Therefore it be resolve that the City of Rosemead supports legislation and measures that would suspend SB 375 implementation until California legislature fully funds all implementation cost and address the loss of local land use control" and be presented to the League of California Cities General Assembly as drafted by Mayor Pro Tem Ly. Vote resulted in: Yes: Armenta, Low, Ly No: Taylor Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 22 of 25 Abstain: Clark Absent: None 9. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL Mayor Pro Tem Ly asked that staff look into forming an ad -hoc transportation sub - committee because the SR60 Coalition and the High Speed Rail may potentially have a negative impact in the community if it goes on the north end of the freeway. Mr. Ly added that an ad -hoc committee should be formed to talk about these issues and ensure the voice of the City of Rosemead is represented. Mayor Taylor thought Council had taken some action on this and that it was going to go by the Pomona freeway. Mayor Pro Tem Ly clarified that was the light rail and that the goal is to have it go along the Pomona freeway. The Coalition talked about issues and it is important that Council add that to a list to talk about; Council passed a position previously that supported the high speed rail along the median of the 10 freeway. This way it would not have an impact on the south or north end of the community. However, recently the High Speed Rail Authority has talked about preferring the north side of the 10 freeway which would have a significant impact the Target center, Glendon Hotel, and a lot of residential area. Mr. Ly asked that staff bring back information on an ad -hoc transportation sub - committee. City Manager Allred asked if the sub - committee should be comprised of City Council. Mayor Pro Tem Ly replied City Council and maybe a traffic commissioner or whatever staff recommends. Council Member Clark stated that she was going to be out of town during the August 10!" City Council meeting. Council Member Low commended staff on the success of the July 4th parade event. She mentioned a political group that was in attendance at the parade called that Falun Gong and asked that the event remain non - political. Also mentioned that there was a van that had the American flag as well as the republic of China flag and they were giving out flags of the republic of China. Ms. Low expressed concern because the Fourth of July is the birthday of this country. Council Member Clark clarified that no groups are allowed to pass out anything during the events. Council MemberArmenta stated they were also passing out flyers with information regarding their kung fu. Ms. Armenta commended Director of Parks and Recreation David Montgomery-Scott and staff for doing a good job. Mayor Taylor asked about the trash contract and inquired if staff has been working on an extension and a renewal for Consolidated or Republic. He stated that there are two trucks that come through his neighborhood and was not sure if they are switching. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 23 of 25 City Manager Allred replied it's the same company; Republic owns Consolidated Mayor Taylor expressed concern with what the Council wants to do, as far as, what the city manager is working on to renegotiate the contract with Consolidated. He asked if staff has gone to any outside sources regarding this issue. City Manager Allred stated no; the current franchise agreement will expire in three years, August 2013. Mayor Taylor asked if staff is proposing this to go for seven years. City Manager Allred stated staff has been talking with Consolidated; they approached the City and asked for an extension. The City's response was that an extension would be considered if the city would receive a franchise fee like every other city does. Mayor Taylor asked staff to prepare a report on all the cities in the San Gabriel Valley and give a report on the franchise fee because sometimes the residents end up subsidizing that cost that will come back to the City. City Manager Allred stated that the discussions with Consolidated were that if the city would receive a ten percent franchise fee which is the standard among cities, they would be short $500,000 a year profit. That will go a long way in helping the city's budget annually; it was made very clear that cost would not be passed on to the residents and as indicated on the memo to the council they agreed to that. However, they would not agree in giving the City the 10 percent franchise fee. Mayor Taylor stated that they came back to cutting it back to $300,000. City Manager Allred replied yes and it will not be passed on to the residents. There will be no line item on the bills. Mayor Taylor stated that he was a bit leery about what other San Gabriel Valley cities are charging for their monthly billing services and staff needs to give that report back to the council. City Manager Allred replied the City has not reached an agreement with Consolidated Mayor Taylor stated that Mr. Ly made a point several months ago about the street sweeping contract. Giving a three year contract with an option to renew two more years seemed pretty stable for the city. Mr. Ly suggested that the city go out and get a proposal to switch contractor and we did that and save $50,000 year from $217,000 to $153,000; so for three years we are getting one year additional free so to speak. Mr. Taylor express that he felt it will be the same about the trash contract because the evergreen contracts that they refer to, started out at five years, now this may go to seven years. They are almost perpetuity whenever they get in because that is a hard thing. He added that most cities do not lose a contract because council gets changed when there are long term contracts. Mr. Taylor directed staff to get information on what other cities are charging and their current rates and what Consolidated will be charging to substantiate the $500,000. Rosemead City Council, and Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Minutes of July 13, 2010 Page 24 of 25 City Manager Allred replied that the $500,000 is coming from the company's profit. Mayor Taylor stated that if you can squeeze them that hard fine, but you got to protect the residents. Council Member low stated that she thought it was fair comparison to see what other cities are paying and if Rosemead is paying about the same as other cities are that means the $500,000 is part of Rosemead. Mayor Taylor stated that the city manager has his input and did not want to see the weekly newsletter coming out with progress reports on what is going on with one contractor. 10.

The next regular joint Community Development Commission, the Rosemead Financing Authority, and City Council meeting is scheduled to take place on July 27, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., respectively.
