RELICENSING OF HYDROELECTRIC FACILITIES Councilman Tury stated that he felt that Resolution No. 83-48 should be adopted for the good of the residents of Rosemead and allow Edison relicensing preferences in order to keep the rates to the residents as reasonable as possible. Councilman Taylor requested additional clarification on this resolution. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that under the Federal Power Act there is a provision that gives a municipal preference clause to any publicly owned entities that wishes to apply for any relicensing of an existing facility. Vernon and June Lake Public Utility District are both publicly owned, as opposed to Edison which is private investor utility company. Councilman Taylor requested a copy of the'Federal Law that is being discussed so that he can research it on his own time. Roy Bergeson, Edison Company representative, 1000 Portrero Grande Drive, Monterey Park, stated that he would be delighted to answer any questions that the Council may have on this subject. Councilman Imperial commented his biggest concern are the people with very limited means and if this would add to the cost of electricity to the senior citizens and the handicapped within this community. Roy Bergeson stated his concern for the cost to the resi- dents is one reason for bringing this Resolution to the City Council of Rosemead. If a City like Vernon would be allowed to take away our hydro facility plant, which is the cheapest form of electricity, any other procedure would cost more and that increase would certainly be reflected in.the cost-of elec- tricity to the residents in the City of Rosemead.

He also complained about the left-turn lane at the intersection of Fern and Walnut Grove and felt that it was a hazard to the children crossing to go to school and was done as a convenience to Edison and their employees. Councilman Tury.stated that he felt that at Agency expense curb cuts and parking pads should be provided to the people who have lost their parking spaces by the red curbing. He felt that it was the responsibility of the City since the City created the problem. Councilman Imperial requested that extensive research be done to resolve this problem. Councilman Taylor agreed that additional information should be made available in order to find out exactly what the problems are and what it would take to resolve them. Councilman Tury stated that Klingerman and Walnut Grove have the same problems and they also need to be resolved.

Councilman Taylor stated that it was alright if Mr. Hanna ford wanted to come to the meeting, however, he still wanted written documentation of what has actually been accomplished. VII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS A. Hugh Foutz, Chairman of the Dinsmoor Heritage House, stated that he felt that the City should be subsidizing some of the cost of the Rosemead Rose which is $13.50 for a five gallon can. He felt that most of the residents would feel it was too expensive. Michael Burbank, Park &.Recreation Director, stated that the City would be paying for the $1500 for the patent attorney and the $1000 for hybridizer for developing the rose so that leaves $1700 for the 200 roses which would be approximately $8.50 for each rose.
