MAYOR. CLARK: Thank you.
We'll have now the explanation of the public

Peter Wallin.
MR. WALLIN: Yes. Tonight we're having the
considered and environmental impact report and various
land use approvals for a retail center which is anchored
by a Wal-Mart Super Store at the southwest corner of
Walnut Grove and Rush in the City of Rosemead. This --
let me go through the order of business as it will be
presented.
The first item on the agenda will be a Staff
report presented by Staff to explain the application and
the project and make recommendations to the Council. At
that -- following the Staff report, we're going to open
the joint public hearing of the City Council and the
Community Development Commission.
The first item of business during the public
hearing is the Applicant will have an opportunity to
respond to the Staff report. We have two requests for
priority in connection with the public hearing; one from
7
M
I
Gloria Molina, and the other from Gloria Romero. Those
2
two individuals will be aranted priority and will be the
3
first to speak during the public hearing. We will then
A

5
received.
6
And everybody who halsn't gctten in a speaker

11
speakers will each have c1e opportunity to speak.
12
You're asked to make your comments within three minutes.
13
We'll notify you when three minutes is up. You're asked
14
after that time limit to limit Your comments to the new

exhausted, we're going to
21
give the representatives of
Pride and the
22
representatives of Save Our
pity -- Community an

each one can get their last say in. The Applicant will
then be given an opportunity to make closing remarks.
Following that, we're going to close the public
hearing for Council to discuss the matters remaining,
direct questions of Applicant and Staff, what have you.
We have -- in addition of takina oral
testimony, we also take written comments.- And let me
run through several letters that we have received since
the agenda packet went out.
We have a September 6th, 2004 letter from
Save Our Community signed by L.C. Bevington. We have an.
undated letter from Mary -- I can't make out her last
name. Fara- -- on, F -a -r -a -s. Mary Faras. I'm just
noting all of these to tell you that these will be
included in the record. And the Council has been
provided with copies of all of these documents.
We have a September 1, 2004 letter from -- I
believe this is L.C. Bevington. Yes. September 1, 2004
letter from L.C. Bevington with attachments. We have a
September 1st, 2004 letter from Montebello Unified
School District. We have a September 4, 2004 letter --
actually, a series of three letters from
James Flournoy. We have a September 6th, 2004 letter
from L.C. Sevington. We have a September 3, 2004 letter
from Gloria Romero. We have a September 7, 2004 letter

4
September 7th,
200^ letter from Endo Engineering
5
responding to the
letter from
Arcs. Those will all be
6
included in the
public record
of this meetinq, just as
7
if those people
had come and
spoken before us.
8
Last,
I want to go over the forum. It is very
9
important that
we have an orderly public hearing and we
10
get this matter
4
r
decided with fthe least amount of
11
disruption. At
the Planning Commission meeting, a
12
handful of participants
did not conform to the rules of
13
decorum that we
asked them -- that we tried to
14
establish. At
t
the Planning Commission meeting, a
15
handful of people
did not conform to
the rules of
1n
decorum which we
established for that
meeting. And the
17
Mavor has asked me
to emphasize that
she expects
18 tonight's audience to ccmplyjwith the following rules.
19 The audience shall rlemain ouiet while speakers
20 are speaking. No clapping or� other audible response.
21 Hooting, hissing, cheers, and catcalls will not be
22 allowed. You will be gathered down. The audience may
23 applaud after a speaker complletes his or her remarks.
24 The applause wi11 stop when The next speaker reaches the

to be addressed to the Mayor and City Council and not to

With that said, l think we're ready to proceed
with the Staff report.
MAYOR CLARK: All right. We have -- the first
on the adgenda is the presentation of the Staff report,
please.
MR. BRAD JOHNSON: Yes, Madam Mavor, Members of
City Council. Thank you. This is an application
submitted by DRC, Development Resource Consultants, for
a project where one of the tenants would be a Wal-Mart
located at the corner of Walnut Grove Avenue and Rush
Street. Actually, it's just southwest of that corner.
The site is located entirely within the City of Rosemead
in the extreme southern portion of the city.
The applications have been submitted and are
before the Council for action tonight, include a general
plan amendment -- that would be a request by the
Applicant to change the general plan -- land use
designation from office/light industrial to commercial.
Secondly, a tentative parcel map to subdivide the single
parcel from one parcel into six parcels. The total site
area is approximately 24 acres as it stands today.
Three conditional use permits on the agenda tonight:
one for a gasoline service station, one for off-site
1 sale of alcoholic beverages, and the third for a
2 I mini -mall application.
23 1 mentioned, the anchor tenantlbeing a Super Wal-Mart
24 store. The other related usEs being gasoline pumps and
r25 three additional free-standing pad areas that could
3
The next item before' the Council is a
A
development agreement. And this development agreement
6
5
basically establishes -a timeframe for the developer to
6
complete the project. And esIsentially, all the
7
agreement has in it,. -s far as substance, is setting a
J
8
ten -_rear time frame for completion of the entire
9
project.
10
And finally, the certification of Environmental
11
Impact Reports. Other actions that are related to the
12
Environment Impact Report --'which will be referred to
ll
13
tonight as the "EIR" -- is a resolution that makes
14
findings of fact, approving and adopting mitigation
15
measures for the project, a statement of overriding
16
considerations, a mitigation Imonitoring program, and
17
finally a certified EIR as complete for purposes of
18
CEQA, which is the California Environmental Qualitv
19
Act. I
70
As far as the project features, the EIR.
21
analyzes the project as a 250,000 square foot commercial
22
retail center with other rented uses. Again, as I
23 1 mentioned, the anchor tenantlbeing a Super Wal-Mart
24 store. The other related usEs being gasoline pumps and
r25 three additional free-standing pad areas that could

include retail shop space and restaurant uses.
The City of Rosemead Planning Commission is the
approving legislative body for parcel maps, CUPS in the
City of Rosemead. However, in the instance tonicht,
Councilman Imperial did appeal the Conditional Use
Permits and parcel map up to the City Council for
review, so the entire project could be reviewed as far
as conditions of approval and all of the design issues
related to all of the items.
At the.August 16th Planning Commission meeting
the Planning Commission did vote unanimously to approve
the items that they are -- for the Conditional Use
Permits and the parcel map. And they did recommend
unanimously to recoml-nend approval to the City Council
for the items that they are the recommending body on.
And that was for, the development agreement and general
plan amendment.
Just to give you a little bit of history of the
site that we're going to be discussing tonight. The
site was originally a vacant piece of land. It was
cultivated many years ago into fields to produce fruits
and vegetables. After the 1960s the -- all the farm
buildings were removed from the site, and it was used
for a gravel parking lot for a period of time.
It's currently owned by Southern California
1�
Edison Companv,' and was purchased around 1950. In the
2
1940s, Edison anticipated the growth of Southern
3
California and desired to originally construct a power
4
plant at the location. When Edison bought the property,
5
it was actually five separate parcels and totaled 108
6
acres in the vicinity of the project site. Ev=entually,
i .
7
Edison decided to develop their corporate office
8
headquarters at the location, which you see built there
9
today on Walnut Grove Avenue. And we refer to it as the
10
"Edison Campus."
11
As far as entitlements that Edison has come to
12
the City for over the years, it's -- several times
13
Edison came to the City between 1969 and 1977 to request
14
the zone changes of their properties. Four of the five
15
parcels were originally an Al zoning and were eventually
16
zoned through a PD, planned development, in 1969, and
t
17
eventually to C3, medium commercial, with the exception
18
of one of those parcels. And that was a nine -acre
19.
parcel that's at the southwest corner of Rush Street and
20
Delta- And that zone change was actually requested to
I
21
be changed from the Al zoning to an R3 zoning to allow
22
forthe condominium development for the Amberwood
23
Condominium units in 1973. And that consists of 143
24
25
residential units there toda1

discussing tonight as surplus property. They began a
marketing effort at that time. Wal-Mart was the winning
bidder on the bids for sale on the property_ Edison has
signed a purchase and sales agreement with Edison
Company. The City has no financial involvement in this
transaction, no financial involvement in any other
means, including incentive programs or infrastructure
improvements. It's strictly a market rate transaction
between the two parties.
The current zoning of the site, as 7 mentioned,
is C3. No zone changes are necessary to allow the
development. The requested uses on the applications
before the Council tonight are either allowed by right
in a C3 zone or conditionally permitted uses. The acre
tenant department store and -- with general merchandise
and a grocery sales land uses are permitted uses under
the C3 zoning classification. The project, as designed,
does comply with all the C3 standards. PAs far as
setbacks, the landscaping design, parking, all the
zoning ordinance standards are met by the design of the
project.
Due to the size and scope of the project, it
does require an Environmental Impact Report_ We have
provided copies of that report to the City Council and
the Planning Commission. This process of the EIR
15
16
1
started with the notice of preparation in December of
2
2003. Comments were received on this notice of
3
preparation and were incorporated into the draft
4
Environmental Impact Report, which was then prepared and
5
circulated. During that review period, the Citi
6
received comments relative_ to the draft EIR. Those are
i
7
included in the final EIP. document, with responses to
i
S
the comments. Each of theseIresponses were sent to the
9
commenting agencies, as well as individuals that
10
submitted comments.
11
The final EIR. is a compilation of all the
12
environmental analysis, the comments, responses to
13
comments, and constitutes a full environmental record
14
for the project.
15
I would like to point out two issues that did
16
arise out of public agency comments on this project, in
i
17
f
addition to the comments that Mr_ Wallin presented to
18
the Council that came in, mostly today, that you have in
i
19
your packet tonight. But the two letters that kind of
20
stood out amongst all the other public agency comments,
21
the first of those is a letter from Caltrans.
22
And basically, Caltrans desires that the City
23
take weekend counts on the -Pomona freeway, rather than
2d
weekday counts, as the traffic consultant has done in a
25
report; as well as study the,Paramount freeway

interchange, which is west of the City of Rosemead. And
as we get into the traffic discussions later tonight,
we'll answer that in more detail on why we feel those
are.needed at this time.
Secondly, the County of Los Angeles responded
several times to the draft EIR. Each time the County
responded -- as the Council also has in their packet --
you'll see that the contents and tone of the letter
changed. It was a little bit bewildering to Staff to
see the comments change from "We agree to the traffic
study" in the first letter to the second letter where
they brought up issues that needed to be clarified from
the first letter related to landfill issues and storm
water quality plans and water provision plans that are
completely irrelevant to the development.
And finally, a third letter that requests that
we use different calculationsat intersections for level
of service. And again, we'll get more into.thcse
details later in the traffic descriptions tonight.
The next speaker that we're going to have go
over the staff presentation is Ross Geller. Ross is the
City's 'environment consultant on the project. Ross is
going to give a brief presentation on the EIR process
and a description of the .type of analysis that went into
the EIR.

After Ross's presentation, Steve Copenhaver,
who is the City's project manager for this development.
Steve's Going to cine some detail on the design
concepts, including the design as submitted by the
Applicant, and one of the alternative designs that's
outlined in the EIR as the project design alternative.
With that, I'd like{to turn it over to Ross.
V
MR. ROSS GELLER: Madam Mayor, Members of the
Council, my name is Ross Gelfer. And I am a principle
r
of Applied Planning, and we were hired by the City of
Rosemead to prepare the Environmental Impact Report for
this project.
As a bit of background on the environmental
process, the ZIP. is intended to be an informational
document that identifies the potentially significant
imoacts to the environment of the project and indicates

In terms of the alternatives, an alternative
investigation, the EIR must describe a reasonable set of
alternatives that could feasibly obtain the proposed
project's objectives. The alternatives have to be
compared to the project so that the decision -makers can

22
23
29
25
make an informed decision about the implications of the
project. And the alternatives should offer advantages
by eliminating or reducing the identified significant
impacts that are identified within the Environmental
Impact Report.
In this particular Environmental Impact Report,
the EIR looked at six different alternatives. It looked
at a no -project alternative, which was, in essence, to
develop the
site under the
existing
general plan of
office/light
industrial.
And under
that particular
scenario, the project -- an office building of about a
half -million square feet -- almost 600,000 square feet
would be developed or, the site. And the implications of
that are identified within the document.
The EIR also looked at the no -development
alternative, the no -build alternative, which is
basically to leave the site the way it is and not
develop it at all.
The EIB. also looked at what was considered as
the reduced intensity commercial alternative, which only
had a major big box retail and no outdoor pad -- no out
pads or individual pads along the outskirts of the
project. And under that scenario, there would be about
385,000 square feet developed on the site.
We also developed a mixed use alternative
19
Asp
I
alternative that included a 50,000 square foot market,
2
about 4400 square feet of neighborhood commercial, and
3
about 160 multi -family residential units.. And the
4
implications of that are identified and discussed within
i
5
the EIR.
6
And finally, there was a project design
7
alternative that basically attempted to respond to some
8
of the issues that were brought up as part cf the
9
initiation of the project. And in essence, it was ,a
10
design alternative that keptiall the trucks -- all truck
11
access on Walnut Grove Avenue. It reduced the out pad
12
square footage. It enhanced the entry and created a
13
ring road to the project for trucks circulation on sit=-
ite14
14
and removed the proposed gas station. So in essence,
,15
there is a full discussion within the Environmental
16
Impact Report of what the implications of developing any
17
of those six alternatives are
18
Just as a bit of balkground -- and I think
19
Brad Johnson hit on this. But in essence, in terms of
20
the public review for this project, the draft EIR was
21
circulated from May 13th to July 6th for public review
22
and comments. Comments were received, were responded to
23
in the final ETR. And responses to every comment that
24
was received from the public?Jand from public agencies
25 were given to those individuals and agencies on

August 5th. And the final EIR was available online at
the web site startina August 4th_
In terms the overall process, I think I could
sum it up by saying it's been a pretty exhaustive
process. There's been a lot of participation. We
started out with a scoping meeting, as Brad mentioned.
Forty-one people spoke at that scoping meeting. Twelve
agencies and 15 individuals also provided written
comments at the outset. Ten agencies, two
organizations, and 30 individuals provided written
comments as part of the draft EIR.. And at our Planning
Commission meeting on August 16th, 54 people provided
oral testimony to the Planning Commission.
When preparing an Environmental_ Impact Report,
the important thing that we try to do is determine what
the level of significance of an impact is. And a
significant impact for the purposes of the Environmental
Impact Report is what is considered a substantial
adverse change in the physical conditions of the area
affected by the project. Impacts that were deemed as
less than significant were ones that -- where the
conditions were not considered substantial. And impacts
that were identified by -- impacts were identified by
comparing the conditions with the conditions resulting
from implementation of the project.

11 CEQA and responsible agencies determine what
2
the thresholds of significance are. In other words, the
3
yardstick for what the impact will be tested against is
4
determined by the lead agency in consultation with the
5
responsible agencies that participated in the process.
6
i
As an example -- just se everyone
7
understands -- in the area of traffic and circulation,
8
the threshold of significance that we used was if the
i
9
project generated traffic which exceeded the City's
10
adopted minimum peak hour signalization at intersections
1i
for the performance standard LOSC. And under this
12
particular threshold, we had a less than significant
13
impact.
14
If 'the project created an inadequate access of
15
emergency access or a safety hazard, it would be
16 considered significant. In this particular instance, it
17 was deemed less than significant.
18 If there was insufficient parking provided, it
1
19 would be considered a significant impact. In this
i
20 particular analysis, it was `ound to be less than
21 significant. i
22 If the project conflicts with pedestrian access
i
23 or conflicts with alternative transportation facilities,
24 1 the project would be considered signif=icant. In this
25 1, particular instance, it was considered less than

significant.
In the area of whether the project would impact
the freeway or freeway segment, operate below the
Caltrans adopted standard of LOSC, it would be
considered significant. In this instance it was
considered significant and unavoidable. And it's
identified as a significant impact as part of the
environmental impact process.
One of the things that's often discussed, and
there was a lot of comments responding to this, is the
EIR needs to identify impact=_ and then identify
mitigation that addresses the impact associated with
that particular development impact. land so there is
state law that requires that new development can't
address existing/preexisting infrastructure
deficiencies. In other words, 'if a road is currently
under LOS standards, then this project can be required
to minimize their impact on that -- this project can't
be required to fix the entire problem, because the
project didn't create the entire problem.
The EIR. addressed the issues of 1 --and use, earth
resources, traffic and circulation, air quality, noise,
public services, and esthetic light and glare. The
analvsis within the ET -R found that the impacts related
to land use, public services, light and glare were all
G�
I
found to be less that. significant.

In the area of earth resources, the issue was
3
found to be significant within the Environmental Impact
a
Report. But with the application of the mitigation

measures that are presented within the EIR, the impact

was found to be mitigatable.;,

significant and unavoidable imparts. And those impacts

are in the area of traffic and circulation -- and

an informed decision.
Pursuant to CEQA, if the City Council this
even'nq decides that they want to approve the project,
they're going to have to adopt what's known as a
"statement of overriding consideration." And it
basically states that they understand the implications
of approving the project; they acknowledge the
unavoidable significant impacts related to the project;
and they're willing to accept them for specified
economic, social, or other considerations.
And with that, that concludes my portion of the
presentation.

MAYOR CLARK: We've already stated that there
will be parameters here. And we are going to hold to
them.

Allen Copenhaver (sic).
MR. COPENHAVER.: Good evening,
Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council.
My job tonight is to go over the different
elements of the project itself. Tonight I'm going to
talk about a series of topics. I'm going to say a
tittle bit about the site description, the proposed
project, the project that's been recommended by the

Planning Co=,,niss-ion and the Sta required city actions
to approve the project, discuss a small amount about the
frequently discussed issues, and talk about the Discal
impacts.
First of all, in terms or location of the site,
the site is shown at the corner of 'Rush and walnut
Grove. The light-colored area is unincorporated county
area of South San Gabriel. The green area on the
right-hand side of the star is the Whittier Narrows golf
course and recreational area. The 60 Freeway is the red
line that goes across the bottom o_ the slide. This is
an air photo of the site. You can see that Wal-Mart is
purchasing most of the vacant property, excluding 1.3
acres that is right at the corner of Rush and Walnut
Grove.
In terms of the surrounding uses, to the south
we have the Countrywide -- to picture that's shown in
the slide is a Countrywide office. we also have,
directly adjacent to the sou h, the Panda Restaurant
Corporation. To the east we have the golf course, as I
mentioned. To the north and the east is Edison
corporate facility. Directly to the north of the site
is another Edison facility. ITo the north and west of
the site is Rice Elementary School. The large
vacant -appearing area is the playground. And the white

buildings are the school buildings. Directly to the
west of the project, across Delta rs the Amber -wood
townhouse project that Brad mentioned. And.to tv.e south
and to the west in the unincorporated county area,
there's a -- that's predcminantiy a single-familv area.
In terms of the project description, this is
the project that the EIR. was based on. This was the
application originally submitted by the Applicant; and -
it includes a Wal-Mart store, peripheral retail, and a
service station. And it totals 253,000 square feet on a
little bit over 22.3 acres.
In terms of the original site plan, the
Wal-Mart general merchandise store is shown in the red
box. The large red box is the 147,000 general
merchandise store. The smaller red boxes are really the
garden center. Typically, you'll see the car.den center
attached to the general merchandise store; but in this
case, the site was not quite large enough dimensionally
to attach it to the building.
Now, in.addition to the Wal-Mart general
merchandise store, we had two shop buildings: one of
9,000 square feet and one of 10,000 square feet. in the
original application, these are the two buildings that
are suitable for occupancy by multiple tenants. And
they were located on parcels of less than ='_-7,000 square
i I feet, and they meet the definition of a mini -mall in the
2
Rosemead Municipal Code.
3
(Audience interruotion.)
a
MR. COPENHAVER: =n terms of the blue pad, this
5
was a fast food pad. And =hen we had -- in the
6
southeast corner of the _=:_e, we had a service station
7
that could accommodate 16 rehicles at a time.
2
To the south of the general merchandise store, the
9
yellow box, this is the box that makes the Wal-Mart
10
store a supercenter. This is a 56,200 square foot
11
grocery addition to the general merchandise store.
12
In terms of access to the site, the plan
13
proposed to add two signalized entrances, one at about
14
the midpoint on Push Street and one about the midpoint
i5
on Walnut Grove. These would be the primary entrances
16
for retail customers. And in addition, to the west of
17
the signalized entrance on Rush Street, there was a
i
12
truck access. And this was designed so that trucks
i9
could get in and service -ne general merchandise store
20
truck docks that are located to the north of the red
21
square. Then on Walnut Grcve, to the south of the
22
signalized entrance, we have a secondary entrance that
23
could be used.both by trucks and by automobiles. And
24
this is a richt-i n, right -cut entrance.
25
Now, in all of those comments that the

preceding speakers mentioned that we received, you know,
I divided these comments, in my mind, into three
categories. One was we did receive many comments on
development plan considerations where people were
-oncerned with some aspect of the plan. Two, we had
comments on operational considerations; how Wal-Mart
operates its stores. And then we received a large
number of comments on corporate considerations for
Wal-Mart. This is addressing wages, the Wal-Mart
corporate culture, and other considerations.
In terms of the City's Economic Development
Committee, the first two categories are in categories
that we consider in making land use decisions. In terms
of the corporate considerations, in all fairness -- and
certainly the most recent retailers to enter the city,
you know, we did not consider wages or union status of
any of these other retailers. and in this case, we
haven't either.
In terms of the development plan comments, we
had comments on the peripheral uses: parking, truck
access, edge treatments, and the site building design.
And we came up with a revised site plan that was
included in the EIR. In fact, this -- this site plan, I
believe, is Diagram 7.2-1 in the EIR.. And it includes
the same Wal-Mart general merchandise store. The garden
2
I
south to allow more landscaping and a redesign of the
4 -ring road so that the internal circulation in the
5 shopping center would be vastly improved.
6 In terms of the shop space, the shop space has
7 been reduced from the 19,000ion the original plan down
8 to the one yellow box of about 3,000. In this
9 recommended plan, this is the only component of this
10 plan that qualifies as a mini -mail, because it would be
ii possible that two tenants would occupy that 3,000 square
12 foot building. And it is located on a site of less than
13 45,000 square feet. But other than that, a CUP for the
14 mini -mail would not be required.
15 There's a good chance that store ultimately may
16 be occupied by one convenience retailer or one service
17 user that occupies the entire building, and then the
18 mini -mall wouldn't even apply.
19 In the lower right-hand corner where the
20 service station was on the original plan, now that is
21 now replaced by a fast food pad of about 2500 square
22 feet.
23 In terms of the supermarket component, it's the

supercenter.
The number of parking spaces on the plan has
increased dramatically; because once we eliminated some
cf these peripheral buildings, there was room for
additional parking. And this layout was a little bit
more efficient. This plan has a total of over 1211
parking spaces. It far exceeds the Rosemead Municipal
Code under any interpretation.
In terms of access to the site, it's similar to
=the original plan in terms of the two signalized
entrances on Rush and Walnut Grove are the same. The
truck entry on Rush Street is now eliminated. The
seccndary entrance on Wal-Mart remains the same. All of
the trucks under this design would approach the site
from Walnut Grove.
In terms of the elevation of the building, we
did work hard with the architect for the building, and
we were able to get their cooperation on making a number
of changes. They added a significant amount of
architectural features to the building. They added both
vertical and horizontal articulations. And they added a
lot of landscaping to the front of the building.
What Brad Johnson is holding up for the City
Council to see is the most recent elevation, which 1s
more complete than what I have on the slide. The same

exact building, but shown With the landscaping drawn
in.
In terms of the recommended plan, one of the
ma-ior issues -from the very beginning was the access and
view of the residential area.on the west side of Delta
to the project site. The way that the revised plan is
designed, the Wal-Mart store,backs up to Delta Avenue.
In fact, the rear of the Wal-Mart building is about 32
feet from the street right-of-way line. Where there is
no building, the revised plan requires a 14 -foot high
sound wall so that you either have the rear building
wall of the building or the sound wall the entire length
of Delta. And the sound wall wraps around to the east
on both the northern and the southern edge of the site.
This way it ensures that the truck loading entrances are
not visible from the residential, and it also protects
the residential from any noise problems.

MR. COPENHAVER: InIaddition to the 15 -foot

MAY-OR CLARK: you may make those comments when

that goes around the truck docks. So we .feel very
comfortable that between the sound wall and the double
wall resulting from being located around the truck
docks, that the residential area will be fully protected
from noise problems.
The rear of the, -- between the right-of-wav and
the sound wall and the rear of the building is -- in the
32 -foot strip is anticipated to be three rows of trees,
ground cover, and climbing vines on the building to
protect the building from graffiti.
In terms of light and glare_ -- this has been
one of the issues -- the typical light standard for a
Wal-Mart project is 42 -foot high. We asked Wal-Mart to
reduce it down to 24 feet, which is about 1 foot below
the height of the building, and use fully -shielded
fixtures. And we believe that this revised design will
minimize, to a major degree, anv light and glare
problems.
In terms of a safety issue, we had a --
although the traffic engineering report did not -- the
traffic engineer did not believe that there was a
substantial problem here, we had several comments about
the Rice Elementary --

A
MAYOR CLARK: We have several deputies, and
i
5
they will do what we ask them to. Thank you.
6
MR,. COPENHAVER: So to address these comments
7
about the safety of students crossing
8
Rush Street to go to Rice Elementary School, we have
9
required in the conditions of.approval that Wal-Mart
10
affirm a flashing pedestrian signal at Angeles and Push,
11
and also fund a crossing guard during the school
12
operating hours. And we think with these two
13
protections, that it'll be a'very safe design.
14
In terms of grocery'carts littering the
,15
neighborhood, we found in one of the other locations --
16
I believe it was Huntington Beach -- where they required
17
a locking device to be placed' on the wheel of the
18
grocery cart. And this is Brad trying to push the cart
19
off site. And it really does work. It locks, and you
20
cannot take the cart off sit l.
21
In terms of truck delivery hours in the middle
22
of the night, we haveprohibited the truck delivery
23
hours between 10:00 p . m _andi6:00 a.m. in order to
24
further protect the neighborhood.

In terms of idling trucks, we've had a comment

that that would be of a concern. We have required that
they install electrical plug -ins for refrigerated
trailers, at least the trailers that are able to take
advantage of them. And that in any case, that the truck
idling be restricted to not more than 10 minutes. We
also understand that from the South Coast Air Basin now,
that there may be a new provision in state law that's
going to restrict idling to not more than five minutes
statewide.
In terms of overnight camping -- we had this
mentioned as a concern, because in certain locations
they do have overnight campers in their parking lot.
And we have prohibited overnight camping on site.
In terms of the container storage, in many of
the Wal-Mart locations, you can see these container
storage bins that the trucks bring in_ They use it to
warehouse additional merchandise during certain times of
the year. And in Rosemead's case, we have outright
prohibited the use of this container storage. And any
outdoor storage will have to be fully screened from
public view.
In terms of the frequently discussed issue,
there's four issues that have come into the
forefront. These are the seismic safety, the traffic,
air quality, and noise. Ross and Brad discussed these

somewhat. I'm just going to add a few comments.
This site plan in illustration, it shows the
location in the red -striped area of the Alauist-Priolo
earthauake zone. It is a 100—foot wide area that
traverses the site from north to south. It also goes
right through the Panda Restaurant Corporation. It goes
throuch Rice Elementary and residential areas on
Angeles Avenue. And this site has had a significant
amount of testing. There were over eight trenches dug
going across the site. There were over 30 borings. And
there were over -- I believe ,it was 37 or 39 tests where
they forced this cylindrical device into the ground to
measure the friction in the movement. From these tests,
a geologist was able to determine that the site is safe
{
for the proposed project. i
And tonight we have ilan engineer in here that
can talk about the seismic conditions more, if Council
would like to hear it. But elssentially, the geologists
tell us that the site is suitlable for this development.
The state law permits the development and the building
code permits the development. And as long as there is
not a building placed within this 100 -foot zone, it is
assumed to be safe.
In terms of the traffic findings, the traffic
engineer studied 14 intersections, intersections which

surround the site. They also analyzed the traffic_
It's anticipated that there's 12,100 new trips per day
for the original project proposed by the Applicant.
There is somewhat of a reduction in trips from
eliminating some of the shop space and the service
station in the design alternative.
The project was determined to not significantly
impact the level of service. It reduced the level of
service in three intersections, but it fell within the
City of Rosemead standard, which is based on the
congestion management plan.
The County, as Brad mentioned, indicated they
use a different standard. And certainly, many other
Cities adopt their own standard. In this case, the City
of Rosemead has used the standard for a significant
period of time, and we believe it's the correct
standard.
In terms of traffic findings, as Ross said, on
the main one, if we add an additional trip, this project
does not add a lot of main line freeway trips. But if
you just add one trip per day, it requires a finding of
overriding considerations
In terms of the air quality, as Ross mentioned,
it will exceed, during the construction period and also
during the operating period, certain emission
37
38
1
thresholds. The engineer studied and used the South
2
Coast Air Quality Management District mathematical model
3
for calculating carbon monoxide hot spots, because we
a
had comments that this project may generate a
5
concentration of emission problems. And the model that
6
was developed by SCAQMD indiciated that there would not
7
be significant carbon monoxide hot spots.

9
MR. COPENHAVER: This project, as well as any
10
major project -- this project', as well as any major
11
project that would occur in the same valley would
12
encounter very similar issues_ And all projects,
4r13
including this one, would have to meet the Federal Clean
14
Air Act provision, the South Coast Air Quality
15
Management District rule=_, the Air Quality Management
16
Plan, and the local municipal code_ In this case, the
17
Rosemead Municipal Code.
18
In terms of noise, I
think that this was
19
adequately discussed. During)
the construction period,
20
we will exceed the City standards.
After the Wal-Mart
21
building is constructed and tllhe
sound wall is
22
constructed, it will fall well
within the Code
23
standards.
24
In terms of public services, the fire

department has indicated that the project -- that they

can service the project with their existing resources.
The sheriff's department anticipates increased calls for
service, but currently they believe they have sufficient
capacity.
And then we contacted several other cities,
including Lakewood, Paramount, Pomona, Duarte,
Huntington Beach, and Santa Fe Springs. And all of
these cities reported that no additional police
personnel were required because of the project.
In terms of the actions required for approval,
as Brad pointed out, we have a general plan, the CUPS,
the development agreement, the parcel map, and
certification of the EIR_
This is
a map
that
shows the general
plan land
use designation.
The
Edison
properties, the
Panda
Restaurant Corporation property, and the Countrywide
property are all designated office/light industrial on
the general plan. The Whittier Narrows area is
designated,public facility, as the Rice Elementary
School is designated public facility. And the Amberwood
townhouse project is designated high-density
residential.
In the light green area -- this is the subject
site -- we feel that it would be appropriate to change
the general plan to commercial_ We feel that the site
39
40
i
is surrounded on three sides by nonresidential uses -
2
The change from office/light industrial to co7mmercial

would be consistent with many of the goals of the

economic development element of the general plan. The
5
surrounding streets have sufficient capacity to
6
accommodate --
7
(Audience interruption.)
8
MR. COPENHAVER: -- the commercial use, as
9
demonstrated in the EIR traffic study. And we also feel
10
that because the site is surrounded on three -- streets
11
on three sides, that we can have a clean edge and
12
opportunity to buffer the project from the residential
13
area, which we are doing with the sound wall and the
14
landscape area.
15
So overall, we think it's an appropriate site.
16
It's really the only site that is available in the City
17
of Rosemead that has adequate size and dimensions to
18
support modern.retail developlment_

three sides by nonresidential uses. And in Southern
California, almost every shopping center that you can
think of backs up to a residential area. For instance,
this is a Wal-Mart store --

MAYOR CLARK: We are going to have.order. Will
the deputies please watch who is leading this. I am
very embarrassed for Larry Sevington, sir.
I hear your voice. And you were a city
manager. I can't believe that you are leading this kind
of a thing at a public meeting.
(Audience interruption_)
MAYOR CLARK: I ask everyone to be civil here,
please.
MR. COPENHAVER: This photo here shows a
typical example of the Wal-Mart store in Paramount that
backs up to a single-family area.
In terms of the CUPS, for alcoholic beverages
within the supermarket component of the Wal-Mart store
and possibly within the general merchandise store also,
all stores of this nature sell alcoholic beverages. So
the fact that they want to sell alcoholic beverages at
this location, it would not be unusual -- it would not
be unusual in any supermarket. Less than 1 percent of
the floor area would be devoted to alcoholic beverages.

The number of ABC licenses in the area is not
overconcentrated_ Signs would be posted in the parking
lot prohibiting possession of open containers and
loitering_ And a security plan is requiring on-site
security.
So in terms of if -you're going to have
alcoholic beverage sales, thi;,s is probably the safest
environment to have them in.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. COPENHAVER: In terms of the CUP for the
mini -mall, we had lots of comments and lots of letters
that tried to say that the entire shopping center is a
mini -mall. And I want to repeat one more time for the
City Council's benefit, only multi -tenant buildings on
parcels of less than 45,000 square feet are considered a
mini -mall.
And in the revised ilan that's being
recommended to the City Counjil, there's only one such
parcel that is of that size and has a building that is
suitable for multi -tenants, alnd that is the one 3,000
square foot pad. It only ap,llies to that one issue.
In terms of the des'an of the mini -mall, it'll
be integrated into the desig! of the shopping center.
It'll have similar landscaping design. It'll meet all
parking requirements on its i1ndividual parcel. It'll be

required in the CC&Rs to maintain the property. And
it's buffered and separated from adjacent uses by
several hundred feet. And in no instance do we feel
that the CUP for the mini -mall is inconsistent or
incompatible with the area.
In terms of the development agreement, it does
allow Wal-Mart a 10 -year period to complete the project
development. It also requires them to complete the
general merchandise within three years. The primary
purpose of the development agreement is to allow
Wal-Mart to plan to a long-term future date. They don't
know when the supermarket component would be added. The
best guesses are somewhere between four and seven years
in the future when they're able to have distribution
facilities that serve the supermarket_ Having the
development agreement would ensure them that there would
be no additional approvals required in order to complete
the supermarket.
In terms of the parcel map, it divides the
property into individual parcels._, It allows the out pad
parcels, the fast food parcel in that 3,000 square foot
building. They could be sold or long-term leased by
Wal-Mart to others. They will be maintained. And we
have the ability to review the CC&Rs. Wal-Mart will
probably sell or long-term lease these pads to others,
43
MA
1
rather than develop it themselves. That seems to be
2
the pattern. And the individual parcels comoly with all

the requirements of the Rosemead Municipal Code and the
4
Subdivision Map Act in terms of street frontage, parcel
t

size, at cetera, in the building of the parcel map

7
In terms of the fiscal impact on retail stores,
8
Wal-Mart is expected to capture 24 million in grocery
9
sales when that component is ,open. Right now there is a
10
net leakage of grocery sales 'to areas outside of the
11
trade area. We do feel that once the Wal-Mart
12
supermarket is completed, that it will capture 3 percent
13
of the existing sales withinithe trade area. To give
14
you an idea, the total grocery sales in the three-mile
15
trade area are $277 million.So we're talking about a
16
rather modest share of the total.
17
In terms of the fiscal impact on Rosemead, what
18
this slide shows you is the n'et fiscal benefit to the
19
City and the redevelopment agency. In terms of total
20
revenue to the City, the project is anticipated to
21
generate about $678,000, less the revenue that would be
22
generated if the service station remained in the project
23
and the additional shop space. So it's slightly lower
24
than that.
25
In terms of the expense for police, fire, and

public works, we have two scenarios_ If the Citv
increased police services and added another seven-day
car, the net fiscal benefit to the general plan would be
431,000. Or if we are correct, that this project -- it
will require additional service, but only in proportion
to other facilities in the city, you would have a net
fiscal benefit of 636,000. If we add the property tax
revenue that the redevelopment agency will receive, the
total benefit increases up to 600,000 a year with the
police position and 800,000 a year if the project is
charged only its proportionate share.
In terms of Rosemead and the city, this just
shows quickly that Rosemead, in terms of sales per
capita, is ranked very low. In terms of the
full-service cities, Rosemead receives.a very, very
modest share of sales tax. If you took the county sales
per capita of about -- almost $7.600 in retail sales per
person, and you applied that to Rosemead's 55,240
population, you would see that the sales leakage in
Rosemead is about $189 million a year theoretically
leaving the community.
Additionally, Rosemead residents currently
spend over 20 million in Wal-Mart stores per year right
now. We did --
(Audience interruption.)
45
1
MR. COPENHAVER: -- ask Wal-Mart for some
2
statistics. This does not include credit card sales.
3
This includes just debit cards and checks_ And over
4
$20 million a year is spent _n Wal-Mart stores in other
5
locations, as well as you can imagine the traffic
i
6
generated. Although in the EIR, we can't consider
I
7
i
these, but the traffic that would be generated by people
i
8
leaving the community, spending the $189 million in
9
other locations, you can see that there's a tremendous
10
outflow, both in dollars and traffic from Rosemead.
11
In terms of big -box users, this is a diagram,
12
and it just shows a handful of the big -box users that
13
are in the general area. It shows the location of the
14
Wal-Mart stores. And you can see that there are several
15 of them in the region already. It also shows the
16 location of Targets, which you can see by the red circle
f
17 with the dot in it, the Target logo_ It shows the
18 Home Depots, and it shows.the SAM Clubs. And you can
19 see that there are a number I£ these stores in the
20 San Gabriel Valley and in thi Pomona Valley.
21 Essentially, the Wal-Mart and much of the big
221 box development started fromithe east and is going to
23 the west. It is more diffic;it for them to find sites
r
24 as they get into the more densely populated areas. But

the Baldwin Park store, which is new; the proposed store
in Rosemead; and then as you go further east, you'll see
a number of stores in other San Gabriel
communities -- San Gabriel Valley communities, and we
anticipate that this trend will continue to the west.
It's also going to be true that Home Depot and
Lowes, for instance, they -- they are constantly
revising their standards in terms of the number of
households required to support each store. And this is
the type of retailing that has been, really, the most
popular in recent years in terms of capturing retail
dollars.
In terms of the impact on housing values, we
did a couple of special studies at the request of those
commenting on the project. One is we did a study of the
impact on housing values. We studied seven locations.
And we look at the value of homes in close proximity to
the store, and we compared it with the value of homes
within a mile. And essentially, these comparisons in
these seven communities indicated that there is no
significant difference in values between homes adjacent
to a Wal-Mart store and homes that are a mile away from
a Wal-Mart store.
In certain instances, the homes that were
closer to the store were even worth more --
47
43
I
(Audience interruption.)
2
MR. COPENHAVER: -- than in other cases. In
3
each case it was very, verv.cicse.
g
And to confirm this, the seventh location we
5
did ourselves in-house. We looked at Glendora. And the
6
same held true. We feel very comfortable with this.

That concludes my presentation --

that you might have_ But if there are none, we'll yield
our time, as I'm sure there are many other people who
would like to speak here this evening.
Thank you.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: All right. Are there questions?
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: We all would like to get out of
here as soon as possible. And I really would appreciate
it if we could have just very short applause, if we have
to. And especially when a speaker starts speaking, we
will not allow any booing or catcalls during their
speeches. You may clap afterwards, as the next speaker
is coming up. But I think we all would appreciate
moving the meeting along. So I hope _you will do that.
The next on our agenda -- I would assume that
was all the presentation from Wal-Mart. Is that --
MR. MARK OSTOICH: Yes.

Are there any questions of Staff or the

this to see if the impact that we presented is true or

MAYOR CLARK: Brad, we have a request to repeat
the question. Would you repeat it for the audience
as -- 1
MR. BRAD JOHNSON: The question was asked by
Councilmember Alarcon how the City checks on traffic
analysis for large developments in the City of Rosemead,
as I understood the question':
COUNCILMAN ALARCON:{ Correct. How do we do it
and when do we do it?
MR. BRAD JOHNSON: How do we do it and when do
we do it. The process starts by the City hiring an
environmental consultant who Ihas subconsultants that he
hires, one of those being a traffic engineer. The
traffic engineer goes through -- you've been provided
with the technical --
COUNCILMAN ALARCON: Brad, I'm sorry. I meant

we monitor it? ;

MR. BRAD JOHNSON: We don't go back and monitor
and restudy the intersections to see if the -- the VOCs
and the ICUs and all the technical merits of the
intersection analysis is operating. We would, from a
physical standpoint -- I mean, we, as Staff members,
drive through these intersections every day. We spend
more time in this community than we do at our homes.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. BRAD JOHNSON: So -- but again, as far as
the analysis, we have in-house traffic engineers that
analyze the traffic engineer's submittal. And that's
how the analysis goes in this case.
COUNCILMAN ALARCON: But in the normal process,
we just continue just to rely on the meetings and Staff?
MR. BRAD JOHNSON: Let me hand it over to the
city engineer who analyzes this.
And Ken, if you want to turn it over to
Joanne --
MR. KEN RUKAVINA: Well, Councilmember, we've
put a lot of credence into the study. The ITE has done
a lot of analy.sis,over the years on what kind of -- how
the different developments generate the various trips.
We've put a lot of credence into the initial design
calculations which determine how much volume of traffic

is going to be created. we design mitigation measures
to account for that and accommodate it. If necessary,
we build appropriate traffic signals or do the necessary
street widening, if we -ind that that is necessary. And
we implement those.
We do not go back after the fact, say, five,
ten years down the line, and reanalyze whether or not
the mitigation measures worked. But -- because we
assume, based on all the studies, that they're accurate
a
and that they're going to doitheir job.
MAYOR CLARK: Does that answer your question?
COUNCILMAN ALARCON: Yes, it answers my
question.
I'm just making a recommendation -- or a
comment that possibly just -- not to go with a full
study again, but just use our traffic engineer after
maybe six months of operation -- assuming it passes --
this passes this evening, thiy just do an analysis_ So
that if we realize we were incorrect, we could take
appropriate action_
MR. KEN RUKAVINA: We can do that. However,
the site might not be fully built out in six months. So
we might --

questions from the Council?
Seeing none, we will move onto the public

Amendment GPA -03-02; Tentative Parcel Map 26827;
Conditional Use Permit 02-882, 02-883, 03-939; and
Development Agreement 04-01; and Environmental Impact
Report for Rosemead Commercial Retail Center, including
CEQA findings, mitigation measures, statement of
overwriting considerations, and adoption of mitigation
monitoring program.
And I will open the public hearing. And I am
going to move up to the front. The elected officials
that have been -- requested to speak -- when I went down
to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to
protest the millions of dollars 'they're going to spend
taking the minuscule cross off of the seal because the
ACLU threatened to sue them, I was afforded the courtesy
of being moved up to -- I think I was Speaker Number 3.

realize that she was first on the agenda. And I did
allow the clapping because that's our rule;. as the next
speaker is coming up, you can clap as long as they're
coming. It's a nice long walk.
SUPERVISOR MOLINA: Good evening and thank you.
I didn't realize you had called me. I just walked in.
I apologize.
First of all, let me begin by saying that I
come here as a municipal government colleague. I thank
you for the opportunity to address you and to speak on
this very important issue. I also come today -- and I
wear two hats as I come and join you. Certainly, one as
a county supervisor representing over`2 million
constituents, 23 cities, and 22 unincorporated
communities.
As a county supervisor, it has been painful to
watch as our bedroom communities deteriorate with the
overproliferation of the big -box retailers. The reason
that most of these cities, an1d we know, have approved
these types of developments i+s long and complicated.
But the bottom line is that revenue is so vital to the

well-being of the residents of a city, that cities are
having to resort to this kind of big -box retailers that
we are having all over the area. Regretfully, as we all
know, our property tax system, overrun by the state
and it affects you at a local level as it affects us --
has created a situation that leaves cities with little
to do. Many of them are turning to casinos, which I
And of course, many of them are having to
turn to big -box retailers in order to create revenue
that is stable for the community- So I appreciate the
situation that you're in.
But the reality is I also hope that you
understand the duty and the responsibility that I have.
I, too, am a county supervisor_ And the residents that
you and I mutually represent are your constituents and
my constituents. And I very proudly represent Rosemead,
but I also represent many large unincorporated
communities. And in representing an unincorporated
community, it's very different than representing a city,
because a city asks unincorporated residents -- they
rely on me exclusively to be their city council, their
mayor, and their city manager. And so consequently, my
responsibility is to represent all of those interests.
And so I'm here today wearing a hat very
similar as a hat that you're wearing today, representing
55
1 1 the interests of my constituents. And I take this duty
2
very,
very
seriously. I
want you to know that
for the
3 I
most
part,
the residents
of the unincorporated
South
4
San Gabriel area
have been
opposed
to the building of a
5
Wal-Mart here in
Rosemead.
T have
listened to their
6
opposition
through.phcne calls,
through meetings that
7
we've had
in the community, and
certainly from letters
8 and petitions. And I cone here to represent their
9 interests, as they have only�me to rely on.
10 My office, as you know, has been involved on
I
11 this issue from the very, very beginning. We have
i
12 tracked the Environmental Impact Report and have been
13 actively involved in many aspects of the development by
14 focusing on the impacts it w_ll have on the
a
15 unincorporated residents.
16
I'm not
here, as many
may assume, to argue
17
about Wal-Mart with
regard
to employment and other labor
1s
kinds of issues.
I've seen
lal-Marts go up in the
19
district that I
represent,
like your neighboring
20
Pico Rivera and
Baldwin Park!
The issue here today is
21 the proposed facility's location and its traffic
22 I implications on the residents of the unincorporated
23 1 South San Gabriel community.

significant traffic impact, as you know, differs from
that of the County. The County's criteria takes a more
conservative approach as to traffic. And of course, the
City takes a more liberal one. That means that the City
is going to permit Wal-Mart to add more cars to
intersections without improving them than the County
would had our criteria been used.
I asked the City of Rosemead to utilize the
County's more conservative criteria, but you've elected
to use, of course, the more liberal one. This has had a
real consequence for traffic in the area around the
proposed Wal-Mart.
There are three relevant intersections in the
City's jurisdiction. Had the traffic consultant used
this County's threshold criteria, it would have resulted
in a significant impact. I have the map here and,
hopefully, you have one up there. But it points to
three intersections: One, which is the Walnut Grove
Avenue at Garvey, Walnut Grove Avenue at the San Gabriel
Boulevard, and the San Gabriel Boulevard at the 60
westbound ramps.
Because the Environmental Impact Report does
not show a significant impact at these intersections,
there is no required mitigation. Unmitigated traffic
impacts in the city will have real effects on the
57
Wi
1
County's unincorporated residents and -the County's
2
unincorporated streets as traffic backs up and overflows
3
into the South San Gabriel community.
4
This is not a location just off the freeway in
5
a commercial district, which would probably bring no
6
opposition from me. But this location is surrounded by
7
residential use. I
g
I'm very concerned about the potential impacts
9
t
to Delta Street. If you 1001 at Delta, where it is
10'
located, you know what is going to happen. People are
11
going to drive through Delta'to access the back wav,
12
because those intersections that I'm talking about are
13
so overcrowded by the traffic that's going to come, it's
14
going to change the entire character of Delta.

MAYOR CLARK: Pleas let the Supervisor finish.

You're being very rude to her_

(Audience interruption.)
19
SUPERVISOR MOLINA: And I understand that many
20
of you know Delta and have driven down Delta, and it is
21
a quiet street without much Congestion. And so the
22
reality is while it is on mvlside of the tracks, as they
23
say, there are mitigations that we can take. We could
24
close off Delta and allow noltraffic to come through.

the residents of South San Gabriel, but also for the
residents of Rosemead, as it is a shared street.
We could also create a series of -- what do
they call those bumps along the way? But it has a very,
steep incline that can create some problems.
So it's not like we're not looking at
mitigations that we could take ourselves. But the
reality is we want you to understand the implications
that Wal-Mart will have on a street like Delta_
Consequently --
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: We will not allow that from
either side_ Please be civil.
SUPERVISOR MOLINA: Consequently, the impacts
are not going to be easily mitigated_ But let me go
through some of them that we would like you to ask.
We know that this issue is in your hands. And
I've been on the other side and we have shared opposite
sides of the table from time to time. But I'm asking
you -- and I'm requesting on behalf not only of the
residents of South San Gabriel, but also the residents
of Rosemead, to start looking at mitigations to reduce
the impact, particularly of South San Gabriel residents.
First of all, we want to ask you to prohibit
delivery truck idling and for any amount of time at all.
59
I
We think this will this create quite a problem. We
2
want to prohibit truckdeliveries after 7:00 p.m. We
3
want to limit the store hour operations to only 10:00,
f
a
with maybe some exceptions to 11:00 on holidays or
1
5
things of that sort.
6
We want you to conduct --'and this is the part
7
that we think is one of the most important components --
8
to conduct follow-up traffic and noise studies six

months -- if you decide to do, this, to conduct them
10
after the store is open in orlder to assess the accuracy
11
i
of the initial information th;at was provided in the
12
EIR. Should the original pro,jections prove to be
13
inaccurate, we hope that the Rosemead City Council will
14
take the proper steps to mitigate
the kind of impact
15
that it's having at a noise level
and at a traffic
16
level.
17
We also are asking for
major landscaping to

create the kind of buffer that
should be there. It's

is generated by the project to provide services to the
unincorporated residents. The residents of that area
have said they are sharing in the burden of a Wal-Mart
that many people can enjoy.
(Audience interruption.)
SUPERVISOR MOLINA: There should be an
opportunity to benefit from the revenue that it will
bring.
One of the things that we would like to see is
the City could ask Wal-Mart to require that they acquire
the corner parcel on Rush Street and Walnut Grove
Avenue, and that -- see about dedicating this as an open
space, because we do not want to see another mini -mall
built in that area that is right now for sale that is
going to create other traffic problems and create other
kinds of problems along the way..
Now, I understand -- and I want to be
respectful to your City Council. You face a tough
decision. There are many people who are interested,
both pros and cons. And certainly, I know, as a
colleague in municipal government, the realities that
are driving your decision. I don't mean to be
disrespectful to them. But I am -- I want to find those
ways that we can work together. And these are ongoing
problems, not just in unincorporated South San Gabriel

and in Rosemead. All over the state we are seeing these
kinds of order issues that are arising. And we need to
work together to mitigate them.
But I want you to know that any which way, a
Wal-Mart added in this neighborhood at this point is
going to change the whole characteristic of this
community. And that is regretful.
And of course, again, realizing that this
decision is not in my hands -- you are making this
decision. It is a responsibility to draw your attention
to the fact there are many ways that this City could
work in partnership with us to reduce the impacts on the
residents of South San Gabriel. I've outlined many of
them. And I want to be reasonable and I certainly want
to be sensitive to the needs of those people that feel
that Wal-Mart would add value to 'their community. But
1
let's not forget the kind oflimpact that it will have on
the people who moved into these neighborhoods as a
bedroom community and would like to see that kind of
character maintained. I
But I want you to know that I am willing to
meet you halfway. I am committed to work with you on
some of these mitigations. But let me also warn you as
well -- because it's necessaiy -- unless there is some
cooperative effort to work together on these kinds of

issues, we, as a county, have a responsibility and a
duty to.protect unincorporated residents when they have
no city council, when they have no mayor. And T am
prepared to make all -- anything I can do to make sure
the City of Rosemead is respectful to its boundary
citizens, its boundary residents.
So I am very serious about this -issue. I want
to be respectful. But I want you to understand it
doesn't come from an uninformed, uninterested position,
and certainly, an insensitive position. I understand.
But we can work together. There are so many people that
will never ever appreciate a Wal-Mart being there
because it does change the character. But the reality
is we know what you are facing, but we can work
together. But we must know, as well, if we can't work
together, then we will do battle in court together.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: All right. The Supervisor and I
sit together on the Open.Space Rivers and Mountains
Conservancy, and we are interested in preserving open
space. And I do want to pursue your idea about the open
space idea.
And the other thing is I know -the residents on
Delta are opposed to the project. But what I want to
ask is if they were -- if the project does go forward,
63
1
would you be willing to see their wishes and --
2
concerning either cul de sating or speed bumps?
3
Now, maybe they don't want.it, but I would like
4
to see if you would be willing to poll them and work
5
with them as far as mitigating that issue.
6
SUPERVISOR MOLINA: Again, I -- as I said, I am
7
going to try and meet the needs of South San Gabriel.
8
We want to maintain that character. Absolutely, we'd be
9
willing to look at that. It is something that we could
10
do.
11
But the reality is it'll also create a.
12
tremendous inconvenience on all of the residents on
13
Delta. So I don't want to say I'm going to do it. I am
14
hoping that if collectively we could change just even
15
the standard of criteria as to how traffic is measured
16
on those other streets and create that six-month review,
17
I might be more than accommodating to meet those needs.
18
But again, keep in mind, as you know, we can't
19
make everybody happy. But there are things that we
20
could go out of our way to do�to try and conserve the
21
character of our neighborhoods. And I think that's
22
important.

SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: Good evening. I'm
State Senator Gloria Romero, and I represent --
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: -- 24 senate districts,
including Rosemead and South San Gabriel.
I'm going to begin by expressing my
disappointment. This is a huge project. You moved this
City Council meeting here this evening because you knew
it wouldn't fit in your regular council chambers.
You've got a room full of folks here very interested,
whether they agree with the project or they disagree.
But I will say I am very disappointed that when the
Councilmembers were asked, "Do _you have a question about
this project?" only one question was asked. That is a
little bit incredulous.
And I'd like thank you, Councilmember Alarcon,,
for asking the question. Essentially the response was
it's blind faith. Because once you vote, you vote. The
question, though, that you asked is right. How do we
know?
And if you really want to address that
question, I would urge you, Councilman Alarcon, as the
only person who raised a question after that really very
complex presentation, I would urge you to call upon your

colleagues, "Let's spend a little bit more time studying
this. We don't have to rusnllthe vote this evening."
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROME IO: If you look at what we
came here for toniaht, thereiis a multiplicity of issues
that you are confronted withi And only one question,
Members?
I would encourage you -- it doesn't answer all
your questions. I think deep down, you know that. I
know that. We know that. There are more than one
question. And tonight we're going to --
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: Can I ask you a question,
though?
Actually, the tapes of the Planning Commission
meeting that went 'til 2:00 a.m., I listened to every
one of them.
(Audience interruptiifon.)
MAYOR CLARK: And we will also have another
chance. The reason I'm deferring my questions is -- to
the end, because after I've heard the audience, I will
be able to ask Staff how we're going to mitigate their
concerns.

all due respect, that may be at 2:00 in the morning.
You're trying to hurry up and move people along. So the
questions really should be up front.
You're going to adopt --
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: And actually, go ahead
and hold it, because -- you know, let's just go ahead
and have the conversation. You're going to adopt an
Environmental Impact Report. You're going to rezone.
Already it says here -- look at your agenda. The
resolution to deny the appeal and uphold the decision of
the Planning Commission. You're going to do that
tonight. You're going to approve the conditional use
permit, including sales of alcohol and ammunition right
here next to an elementary school.
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: I mean, quite frankly,
I guess the issue is let's be honest. We know that your
proposal is to go forward. My only hope is that,
really, you examine your conscience before you do so.
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: I studied -- I studied
the Environmental Impact Report that was prepared. And
quite frankly, I'm ashamed at the quality that is
included in that report.

(Audience interruption.)

SENATOR GLORIAROMERO: The report acknowledges
3
that if the Wal-Mart is built, there will be 12,000
d_
additional car trips per day. The EIR claims that
5
simply this can be mitigated by adding two traffic
6
signals. Excuse me. That doesn't even begin to make
7
sense.
8
You know that I used to have my district office
9
here in Rosemead. In fact, it was right at the edge of
10
Walnut Grove near where you want to put this one
11
signal. I sat right off the 60 Freeway. The 60 Freeway
12
is one of the most traffic -challenged corridors in
i
13
California.
Id
(Audience interruption.)
15
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: With 12,000 additional
16
cars, the belief that only two traffic signals will
17
mitigate that, it's not going to happen. That is pure
18'
fiction. I
19
The EIR acknowledges that the 60 Freeway is a
20
very challenged freeway, and Ithat this congestion will
21
exacerbate somewhat a proposed development.
22
(Audience interruption.)

MAYOR CLARK: We will not have heckling,
24
please. I don't care which side you are on. We will be
25
respectful. And we will get out of here sooner that

way. Please.
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: As we know, the
60 Freeway right now -- even before your 12,000 cars,
right now, by Caltrans -- an agency that's in state
government, I oversee. The 60 Freeway in that area is
rated an "F" by Caltrans in terms of traffic congestion
right now. That's the bottom of the barrel. You really
can't get lower than an "F" rating by Caltrans.
So you're telling me that 12,000 additional
cars and two little traffic signals is suddenly going to
remedy that "F" rating. Again --
(Audience interruption_)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: -- it's just not
believable. And that's why you find some constituents
out here holding up the placards that say "Lies." I
don't think they mean to be disrespectful. Quite
frankly, I don't mean to be disrespectful. But I have
studied environmental impact reports. I sit on the
Environmental Quality Committee of the Senate. I used
to sit on the Transportation Committee. What's in your
report is less than the truth. Let's be honest about
it.

Repert. But given that it's already on this hot sheet,
I don't think that -- quite `rankly, no matter what T
would say tonight is probablI going to change your mind.
So I'm --
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: This project is about a
chase for dollars. It's about a chase for the almighty
dollar. It's about a chase for the Wal-Mart dollar.
And Wal-Mart is the Goliath.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: We have someone speaking. Please
give her respect.
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: You know what. It's
fine. I believe in the First Amendment. And if people
want --
(Audience interruption_)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: -- to go ahead, it
doesn't bother me.
This action tonight is not too dissimilar what
any other city in California is doing. The reality
is -- and we've got to be honest. We do need structural
reform in how we allocate revenue in California between
cities and states. As you know, the state budget was
upheld this year, in part because of this issue with
which you're grappling. I

But inviting another Wal-Mart to this community
will not resolve the problem. It will exacerbate the
problem.
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR. GLORIA ROMERO: By shutting down a
residential neighborhood, by changing the quality of
life in this community, by forcing a Wal-Mart to
operate -- and they will -- 24 hours a day next to an
elementary school, and schools up and down the street,
what this is about is Wal-Mart has opened its big purse,
and they go to city after city offering the dollar.
dollar. Rosemead --
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: -- right now, has
accepted it.
I would urge you, though, to seriously consider
this. I do oppose this project, because I believe it
destroys the fabric of this community. I also do not
like the bullying tactics of Wal-Mart. The City of
Inglewood --
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: -- who many would argue
is more economically disenfranchised than the City of
Rosemead, had the courage to stand up and fight back
Wal-Mart.
71
i
I
1 The City of Los Angeles, an economic engine in
2 L_A_ County, had the foresight to simply say, "Let's
3 1 study not just environmental impact reports that aren't
4 exactly truthful," but they had the foresight to say,
5 "Before we invite a big -box developer like Wal-Mart into
6 the neighborhood, let's at least take some time and
7 understand the full economic impacts.' I would urge you
8 to consider that.
9 There is no rush to ram a Wal-Mart down this
10 community's throat this evening, whether it's at
11 1:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m.
12 (Audience interruption.)
13 SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: Finally, let me just
14 say this. You've indicated in your report that you
15 think maybe it could bring in $400,000. And I would ask
16 you to also think as a Californian. We know -- and the
17 studies are there, that Wal-Mart, because it doesn't pay
18 health care benefits the waylthat it should -- and this
19 is the world's largest retailer -- the cost is shifted.
20 (Audience interruption.)
21 SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: The cost is shifted,
22 Margaret Clark, to you, or Ccuncilmember Alarcon or
23 Counciimember Tavlor. The cost ultimately comes back to
24 the taxpayers.

Medi -Cal and others, it's estimated about $85 million in
costs annually. I would ask you when you think about
this this evening before you vote, think about also the
cost that's being shifted that Wal-Mart refuses to pay.
And that's the reason why, in addition to
destroying the fabric, a false chase for a dollar that's
not going to materialize, a substituting of .jobs -- a
substituting of income, and ultimately, a cost to ever -_y
Californian taxpayer of $85 million_ That's shameful.
Those kinds of employers should be driven out of a
community, not invited in.
(Audience interruption.)
SENATOR GLORIA ROMERO: I will stop there. I
will stop there. But I would just ask you: Goliath has
a big purse, but the people are David. And I would urge
you that -- to stop, not rush this through. Think about
all of the ramifications and alternatives. Because,
quite frankly -- and I think this is just already out
here. If this goes forward, as I see it's already
printed on these sheets to do this evening --

ourselves either in court or at the ballot box.

assemblyperson who would like to address the audience.
Sorry, Judy. Pleas7, I would like to get out

ASSEMBLYWOMAN JUDY CPU: Madam Mayor and City
Councilmembers, I'm Judy Chu, Assemblymember for the
49th District, which includes Rosemead and South
San Gabriel. I come here as one who has worked with you
for many years. I respect tie difficulty of the
decision that is before you and the seriousness with
which you face your responsibility. I also come here as
a former city councilmember and mayor, and I understand
the pressures that you feel to find new sources of sales
tax revenue for the City.

I've concluded that this community cannot afford the
price that it will pay for this particular source of
Therefore, I must express my opposition to the
Wal-Mart property.
Out of all the stores in the United States
Wal-Mart has become the most notorious as one that
expects to get its way, no matter what the cost to local
residents. When it didn't get its way in Inglewood to
build a Wal-Mart the size of 17 football fields, it
decided to bypass the permitting process that every
normal person must go through to put a referendum on the
ballet exempting it from environmental and zoning
regulations and spent $1 million on the election.
Wal-Mart thought it could buy this community if it
offered the right price. But the voters saw through it
and rejected it.
In Rosemead, Wal-Mart wants to develop the
largest store this City will have ever seen in an area
that is not commercial. What kind of impact will a
project of this size will have on the neighborhoods and
schools of Rosemead? Children crossing the street to go
to Rice Elementary School will get to face the more than
6,000 additional cars that will go down Walnut Grove,
Delta, and Rush every single day. Children will get to
face 85 trucks unloading every week. Families living in

single-family houses across the street will get to face
a 24-hour Wal-Mart. They will- get to hear cars and
trucks going in and out at 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m.,
5:00 a.m. Increased noise, traffic, and smog will be an
everyday battle.
Local businesses will watch helplessly as
customers disappear to Wal-Mart. Why would any resident
shop at a local store if they'can buy pickles at
Wal-Mart for a dollar cheaper? Your own reports say
that local retailers will lose about $8 million annually
in sales. 1
Wal-Mart has applied for a conditional use
permit that will allow them to sell liauor and
ammunition and firearms, and yet Rice Elementary School
sits across the street from this location. In such a
short proximity, close to a school full of children.
i
Remember, the California Gun Free SchoolZoneprohibits
firearms within'a distance of 1,000 feet to the grounds
of a public or private school.

issue of what kind of jobs Wal-Mart will offer to this
community. Wal-Mart --

ASSEMBLYWOMAN JUDY CHU: Wal-Mart is equally
notorious for offering little or no benefits to its
employees. Wal-Mart is the wealthiest corporation in
the United States. And out of the 10 richest people in
the world, five are the Waltons, the owners of
Wal-Mart. But because the benefits offered to the
workers are so low, many Wal-Mart employees have to use
government health programs, like Healthy Families, just
to provide health benefits to Wal-Mart employees_
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: We will not tolerate any comments
from the audience. Please obey the rules.
ASSEMBLYWOMAN JUDY CHU: California taxpayers
have to foot the bill at $86 million a year. This is
not fair. This is not fair to Wal-Mart employees. This
is not fair to California taxpayers.
Even Costco pays its workers about $5 an hour
more and has about twice as many workers covered by
company health care.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: Our rules are we are not allowing
applause during the speeches. So please.
ASSEMBLYWOMAN JUDY CHU: if low prices were all
that mattered, we should be rolling out the red carpet
for this company. But in this case, the tradeoffs are

of its stores in 21 states for questionable hiring

practices of subcontractors that resulted in violations

MAYOR CLARK: Next we have Carlos Alvarado,
11
District Director for Congresswoman Hilda Solis.
12
Carlos, are you here
13
REPRESENTATIVE FOR M,. SOLIS: Hi. I'm going
14
to speak on behalf of Congresswoman Hilda Solis. On
15
behalf of Congresswoman HigdajSolis, she stands aside
16
Supervisor Molina, State Sena`tor Gloria Romero, and
}11r
17
Assemblymember Judy Chu, and
;the School Board of
18
Education in opposing Wal -Marla
in the community.
19
The Congresswoman feels
that it's an injustice
20
to the community, it is injustice
to the environment,
21
and it is an injustice to thel
economy in Rosemead. The
22
Congresswoman stands beside t`he
residents in opposing
23
Wal-Mart. It is the small I
and pop stores that built
24
the City of rosemead into what it is today. Wal-Mart is
25
notorious for taking away these small unique stores. It

opposing Wal-Mart.

MAYOR CLARK: Our next speaker is from the
School District Board of Education.
MR..JOHN TRAN: Good evening, Mayor Clark and
Members of the Council. My name is John Tran, president
of the Garvey School District Board of Education. I'm
serving my second term on the school board, and I'm here
not only on behalf of my colleagues of the Garvey School
District, but most importantly, the innocent children of
Rosemead. I present to you today with the Garvey School
District Board of Education resolution that the Board
has just adopted. We have taken a position, and the
position is "No" on Wal-Mart. We at the Garvey School.
District felt that we needed to take a leadership role.
We are elected, just like you. Every four years the
community decides whether they want you back to
represent the city.
Like our school board, we feel that in order
for us to be effective school board members, we must
listen to our constituents. The residents of this

communitv have spoken loud and clear that Wal-Mart is
not welcome here. Unfortunately, _t.is apparent that
their concerns have fallen on deaf ears. I recall a
couple of years ago when you, the Rosemead City Council,
wanted to flex your muscles. You came to our school
board meeting, protested the possible unification within
our district. Mind you, thislwas just in preliminary
stages. And you felt, as a City Council, that we, as a
School Board, must listen to our constituents. And the
majority of you sitting here today -- Mayo --.Clark,
Councilmember Imperial, and Councilmember Joe Vasquez --
stated that we must listen to the concerns of this
community_ And.we ultimately, agreed. We ultimately
agreed with that argument_
However, you have forgotten that rule of listen
to the people that you and Iirepresent. I'm urging you
tonight to stand side by side with the Garvey School
District Board of Education, land together we can be true
representatives of this community. Vote No on
Wal-Mart. I'm asking you to do what you've preached.
Listen to this community. Listen to the residents.
But most importantly
, listen to the innocent
children. This will be affected if you support the
development of this corporate giant: Over 1500
students, approximately a quarter of our district

population, will be adversely affected. This is not
safe, especially when you have 12,000 cars passing
through the streets where innocent children are walking
daily. Wake up and.smell the coffee. This should be a
no-brainer. Let's weigh it out. We've got more money
in one hand or a safer environment for our children on
the other hand. Safetv should be our top priority.
I'm appalled by the fact that you are not
listening. The residents deserve better. This
community deserves better. The future of Rosemead,
which is our children, deserves better. Tonight I want
to be the community's voice. I want to represent them.
They deserve to be heard. Therefore, tonight I'm
officially announcing my candidacy for the Rosemead City
Council this March. Thank you.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: -- Garvey School District Board
of Education.
MR. HENRY LOW: Thank you very much,
Mayor Clark.
Hello. My name is Henry Low, and I am --
Garvey School Board. I was elected November last year
and I am currently serving my first term. And a few
weeks ago after our Board passed a resolution opposing
the proposed Wal-Mart, we had a press conference stating
81
I our position. And at the press conference I gave a
2 little math lesson, and I will offer it to you tonight.
3 And so take out your pen and pads as I offer you these
4 numbers.
5 Consider that Wal-Mart employs 44,000 people in
6 California. It is estimated that Wal-Mart workers in
7 California earn, on average, 31 percent less than
8 workers employed in large retail_ The average pay for a
9 Wal-Mart employee.is 9.50 an�hour_ At these low wages,.
i
10 many Wal-Mart employee will average making only 15,000
11 a year for full-time work. This is considered a poverty
12 income. However, this poverty income puts their health
M
13
to part-time work. While the company brags that 70
14
percent of its workers are full-time. And Wal -Mart's
15
full time is 28 hours a week, meaning they gross less
16
than 11,000 a year.
17
Now, when I ran last year, so many voters --
18
parents asked me, you know, "What
i
are you going to do to
19
make sure that our kids have
a brighter future?" And I
20
pledged to them that as a board
member, I would work
21
with the community to make sire
that our students are
22
prepared and are the best to
Igo and take those jobs that
23
are available out there. But
yet I cannot support a
24
Wal-Mart and then go ahead and tell our parents that,
25
"Well, after your kids grow up and graduate, we'll send
M

them to Wal-Mart, and they'll only earn $11,000 a
year."
Again, I understand the state the cities are
in, because, after all, cities look for sales retail to
generate revenue. In fact, I believe Mr. Mike Louis who
was quoted in the paper as saying that Rosemead somehow
didn't need the Wal-Mart because we could forego $80,000
for fees. $80,000 is a lot of money. But then you must
weigh it against the cost the costs, the health care
costs and also the environmental cost and economic
costs. And to me, $80,000 is pigeons. So I ask you
tonight to put the needs of this community first and
oppose this Wal-Mart.
Thank you very much.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: The next speaker is
Andre Quintero, Rio Hondo Community College District. I
don't know if they heard that. I£ you want to introduce
yourself --
MR_ ANDRE QUINTERO: I will. Thank you,
Madam Mayor.
i
Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council, my
name is Andre Quintero, and I'm a trustee at Rio Hondo
College. I have the privilege of representing the
residents -- at least 75 percent of the residents of the
V
1
1
community of E1 Monte. And I'm here as a neighboring
2
resident in a neighboring community to oppose this
3
Wal-Mart development. Tonight I'll keep my comments
4
brief, but I want to speak specifically about the
5
funding issue.
6
As you know, community colleges and cities are
7
in the same discretionary part of the state budget. We
8
are all feeling the same type of pinched difficulties
9
that .you're feeling at this time. But I propose to you
10
that it is not good social policy to.do what you're
11
trying to do tonight. I oppose the increases because I
12
think as a policy issue, although the community colleges
13
would probably receive a little bit more money, it
14
reduces access to a very important right, in my
15
-opinion. Approving this tonight would be bad social
16
policy.
17
As you've heard several speakers before, and I
18
don't have to reiterate, this is not good.for the
19
community. Ultimately, the jobs that are created are
20
not the type of paying jobs That our community college
21
students will eventually want to go to. So I urge you
22
tonight to vote against this. I urge you to support the
23
long-term social good of this community and not sell
24
this community out to the highest bidder.

MAYOR CLARK: -- from the Rosemead School
District Board of Education. Is Fred here?
MR. FRED MASCORRO: Madam Mayor Clark,
Councilpeople, I would like to clarify that I'm not here
as a Rosemead School Board member. I'm here as a
citizen of -- community member of Rosemead. Period. I
don't represent the Rosemead School District, just
myself.
You're in a position today that I sure don't
envy. You're sitting there, and I feel for you. Many
of the elected officials have many times been in that
position. I wouldn't be presumptious enough to tell you
how to vote. Not at all. I am not going to tell you
which way to vote. You have so much information that
you've had for years. You've studied for years. And
you've had the pros and the cons. I hope by the end of
this two minutes that I have, you'll know my feelings
about the Wal-Mart being here.
I respect everything you've done for the city.
I've only known all of you to be honorable, honest, and
have integrity. The newest member, Councilman Alarcon,
you have come to us being honest and with integrity. I
know you're a great addition to the city, and we

appreciate you. What I hope for is that you will do
what you've always done. Study the issues, know what
our problems are, vote on the way that you feel is best
for the community and the city.
I don't want you to vote because you're
influenced by threats, bullies, or anything else like
that. I wouldn't think you would respect me if I told
you I would join a recall, I would not vote for you. If
I said that to you, I would feel that you would be
insulted and you would lose some respect for me.
Continue to do the job that you've always done. You've
studied. Make your decision on what is going to be best
for the city and the community. Do not vote for what is
best for another city, another county, another state,
the federal government. Rosemead.
I appreciate it. My wife and I have been
members -- voting members in the community for over 40
years. Whichever way you vote, I will respect it and
know that you did what you believe. I appreciate your
time. Thank you.
MAYOR CLARK: Are there any other elected
officials that didn't put that on the card? I want to
give deference to them.

Is there anyone that did want to speak?

Board of Education.
MR. JOHN NUNEZ: I apologize for coming in
late, and I apologize for not hearing a lot of the
functions that happened at the beginning of the
meeting. We did have a school board meeting today, and
it was important that I attend that. It was our first
meeting for the school year as a unified school
district, the unified school district that we all in the
community have helped to become a unified school
district. That was something we all did together.
I remember, too -- I echo the sentiments of
John Tran. When we were looking at trying to see if we
thought unifying Garvey's district would be a good idea,
you, as a City Council, came to us with maybe 20 or 30
people in the audience in our auditorium and told us
that we should listen to our constituents and not go
ahead with unification for Garvey School. I think if.I
looked back, I could probably say that unification for
Garvev School District might have been a good thing in
the long run.
But we did something that we're asking you to
do right now, and that's listen to the community and say
"No" on the Wal-Mart'
You know, I could sit here and argue with you
for hours and hours about the tactics, the sales

techniques, the techniques that Wal-Mart casts as an
industry and how it's gotten.Ito become a big industry.
But the real thing that needs to be looked at here is
look at the place where we have the school and look at
the place where this Wal-Mart is supposed to be.
Remember that Garvey School, when they first built that
school, it was built because we were assured from the
City Council at that time that that area was going to be
for housing.
we put our school -- my forefathers, our
forefathers as far as board members at Garvey School,
listened to the City Council and put the school
technically in the wrong place in the district, because
we.thought we had a promise or an idea, a thought of an
idea as to where we were going to go. And there were -
supposed to be homes around that area. And that's fine.
And you changed it. And you changed it to say, We're
going to put in there -- under the Redevelopment Act,
we're going to put commercial business offices.
Wal-Mart is not a business office_ It's retail.
I think there is a gentleman up there, Taylor,
who voted against a redevelopment -- or excuse me. You
weren't on the board yet, but you're working hard to
stop the redevelopment, I think_ It's because I don't
think that we can promise people in the area all the

time and then come back and change our minds. It's
tough to do that. It's tough for that school.
What do we do with that school if you put a
Wal-Mart there? It's going to be highly congested.
Where do you move that school to? We can't move it.
It's there. This will be the third time that this
City Council -- I'm not saying the present members of
the City Council, but the City Council of Rosemead has
changed the directions of what was supposed to be around
the surrounding areas of the school.
We want you to kind of stay back where you're,
at. Stay back. We've adjusted to you and we want you
to continue to develop that area the way it should be
intended. The way it's built up in that area right now,
it's for commercial office buildincs.
And you know, I've asked what is this -- how do
you make this report? Do you go out there and just say,
"Okay. What's around here? Who is this?" I'm not even
sure you even talked to the Garvey School District. If
you did -- I'm surprised if you did or not. But I can
tell you one thing right now. That district has .a
common border with Alejandro School District. And guess
what, nobody has said anything to us about that over
there. They don't know whether or not there is an
impact to the high school students in our area, good or

bad. They don't know it because they haven't asked.
While you're accepting those reports that they
came out on this last meeting that you had until 1:00 in
the morning -- I was one of the ones that was here at
1:00 in the morning. There was only one question asked.
The question was: Are the signs going to be out of the
way of the driveway? After -- up to 1:00, people are
asking you all kinds of other things. The only thing
that the Commission could say, "Is there going to be
signs close to the driveway so that the cars can look
out safely?" That's all.
There is something wrong with this impact
report. You need not to be hasty. You need to look at
it. You could find out from everybody else what is
it -- you need to remind yourself what you said to me as
a school board member at Garvey School District when I
was a school board member at Garvey School District,
"Listen to your constituents." And most of your
constituents say, "We don't 'ant Wal-Mart."
Thank you very much

up at the end. I've got at least 50 comments about what
I'm going to bring up, but there is a time for that and
I'm not bringing it up now. But believe me, after the
lambasting that they've given everybody, I'll make my
points later.

if you want, because the elected may not stay until --
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: No. They can leave. I
don't want to inconvenience them. They wart to stay

(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: I'm going to take Mayor's
privilege to -- I'm a former teacher and I -- there's a
lot of passion in this room. And I can't pass by the
opportunity to give a challenge to everyone here.
We have received letters -- and I did hear, at
the Planning Commission, concerns about the products
that are made in underdeveloped countries and the cheap

COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Madam Mayor, point of
information. Under the procedure, normally we let the
people talk, then we can talk all we want.
MAYOR CLARK: Okay. But I want to -follow. We
had the electeds here to --
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: They can stay with the
people. They're for the people. Let them stay.
(Audience interruption.)
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Isn't that a normal
procedure?
MAYOR CLARK: Well, we're not really following
normal procedure. Normal procedure would be that we
have --
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: And Ip'd like people to listen to
this, because our normal procedure for a public hearing
is to have the Staff report, then the proponents -- all
the proponents speak, then all the opponents speak,
then a rebuttal by the projelt proponent, the developer.
So we're not doing the norma`1.
And if we get out of hand here, we may have to
go to that. But I did not w9191,Iant to follow that

MR. DARRYL KELTY: And I'm still waiting to see
this report from the opposition about the traffic.
Miss Molina mentioned it -- this was mentioned by
several other people. If there is such a report showing
how terrible traffic is going to be based on the county
studies, where is the report?
One of the things the members -- at least I,
myself, in reading and in the meeting two weeks ago, was
the opposition gave -- and no disrespect to them, they
gave their opinions. If there was such a report, why
didn't they present it?
(Audience interruption_)
MR. DARRYL KELTY: I read the reports that I
had, and I read them thoroughly. I think Wal-Mart would
be a benefit to this community. I'm sorry for the --

But I do support the Wal-Mart. What I've seen
in the reports, I agree with. I found nothing in those
reocrts that would change my mind.
One of the things mentioned by several people
at the Planning Commission meeting was people were
saying, "Well, traffic is so light on Delta that
Wal-Mart would bring traffic." And then other people
said, "Traffic on Delta is so heavy that it would make
it even heavier." I'm sorry. I would like to see
something from the opponents to show me in writing and
on paper that their claims have a legitimate basis.
Thank you very much.

MS. BERNICE ARRANTS! Thank you, Madam Mayor

all these big shots that came out to tell us what to
do. But my name is Bernice, as I said, and.I've resided
in Rosemead for over 15 years. Most recently, for the
past three years, served as a Rosemead Council PTA
president representing our six area schools of Encinita,
Janson, Muscatel, Rosemead Heights, and Savannah and
Shuey.
. I'm here today to speak in favor of the
proposed Wal-Mart issue, primarily for the impact that
it would have on our children and their families. As
you know, money is always an issue for our schools_ But
there's no denying the huge revenue to be generated
here. More often than not, the schools ask PTAs to fund
their budget -cut items. Our catalogue sales and candy
sales can't cut it anymore. It's time the City shoulder
the responsibility of providing their share of
much-needed school revenue.
Also, Wal-Mart is known for its charitable
work. Our children are suffering from --
(Audience interruption.)
MS. BERNICE ARRANTS: -- lost opportunities
that we enjoyed growing up, primarily physical education
and in the arts. Wal -Mart's contributions of equipment
and cash could sustain or revive many lost programs and
classes. A well-rounded student is a productive

citizen.
In addition to the financial and charitable
impacts I've mentioned, there are a lot of jobs to be
had, local jobs. My daughter travels to Knotts Berry
Farm every day for her first job. Our high school puts
out over 500 graduates each year. Where can they go?
Everyone wants experience. Wal-Mart is willing to give
them that, along with training and advancement. They
promote from within, yielding loyalty and pride of
achievement.
I've been impressed with how many of you tell
your story of how it used to be in the old days. Well,
folks, this isn't Walton's mountain anymore_ John Boy,
that is. What can our children pass on if they aren't
here?
They offer part-time positions and flexible
hours, a huge plus for our students attending local
colleges.
How about our struggling families? Moms that
stay at home with their ch -J! ren can now seek
employment while they're in school. Or work a few hours
in the evening, still being (close to home for
emergencies. 1
We're a uniform community. And Wal-Mart has
great prices, not only on uniforms, but on many other

products as well.
I've attended many informational meetings. And
at every concern or complaint, I have witnessed Wal-Mart
go above and beyond efforts to subside or resolve the
issue.
They have passed all the environmental impact
tests and taken surveys.on traffic, as required.
In closing, are we expecting more from them
than any.other business that's come in? Is that fair?
Don't allow this to become a political issue. I'm
impressed with the many vocal participants here today.
But as a volunteer community servant, I am mindful that
we represent the silent voices also. Our children and
their families --
(Audience interruption_)
MS. BERNICE ARRANTS: -- are depending on you
to do --

MS. BERNICE ARRANTS: -- what's best for the

family company. We're a family city_ It's a match,
and they meet our needs. Please, let's move on. Thank

MAYOR CLARK: Would the sheriff please see that
person. I think -- I don't know how many times I have
to say we're not going to have booing. It doesn't
matter which side you're on.
MS. CAROL MAHONEY: Honorable Councilmembers,
tonigh, you will hear many reasons why we need a
Wal-Mart in Rosemead. You are also hearing why we
should not have a Wal-Mart in Rosemead. I am concerned
about the people opposing Wal-Mart.
Who are these people? Some are from South
San Gabriel. They want to tell the City of Rosemead
what to do. But they didn't want to be a member of the
City of Rosemead when they had the opportunity to join
r
the City of Rosemead.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. CAROL MAHONEY: Now we're hearing from
Mrs. Molina that they think `the_y should have part of the
profits from a Wal-Mart if )t's located in the City of
Rosemead.

have it both ways. Other people in cities outside of
Rosemead have joined the anti Wal-Mart group. I've seen
names from people from Alhambra and E1 Monte.
Why should they have a voice in what we do in
our city? Why do they care what happens in Rosemead?
Don't they have enough problems in their own cities to
care about?
But the group I found most interesting is
Gloria Molina, Gloria Romero, and Hilda Solis, and now
Judy Chu. They oppose our Wal-Mart.
But do they offer any hope or solution to our
high unemployment rate or the need of sales tax revenue
in the city?
They say that a vacant lot is better than
$500,00.0. That's hard to believe.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. CAROL MP_HONEY: No. Gloria Romero had no
trouble voting to take $1 million worth of sales tax
revenue away from the City of Rosemead_ But she opposes
us trying to recover some of that revenue. She should
be applauding you for trying to get some of the revenue
back. She should be using Rosemead as a city -- an
exemplary city to show other cities what to do when the
state government takes revenue away from them.
My question is: Why is she holding meetings

against the Wal-Mart? Whv doesn't she want us to have a
Wal-Mart? Why doesn't she want us to be as profitable
as other cities?
(Audience interruption.)
MS. CAROL MAHONEY: Another group, Garvey
School Board, made a resolution against our Wal-Mart.
Garvey School District is in line to receive $80,000 in
revenue funds. I didn't know Garvey was that rich of a
school .district that they didn't need $80,000.
My personal feeling is except for the South
San Gabriel residents, I know people are concerned about
their political financing. Unions back these
politicians_ However, there are no union stores in
Rosemead now that Ralphs left. Where were they when we
opened the Target? And what happens a few years down
the road if Wal-Mart turns to become a union store? By
then it will be too late for�our city.
Also, if these people are successful and we do
not get our Wal-Mart -- I

MAYOR CLARK: Jean Hall.
MS. JEAN HALL: Good evening, Honorable Mayor
and Councilmembers.- First, I would like to declare my
support for the forthcoming Rosemead Wal-Mart store_ I
would also like to take this opportunity to applaud the
officials who have made this Wal-Mart project to move
forward and reach this point..
I have been very -- this has been a very hard
and passionate process. There have been many unrelated
issues mixed into this project, as well as outside
interest groups, non -Rosemead residents' involvement.
It has also been very disappointing to see our other
elected officials at the county, state, and federal
level showing no open mind or support to our project.
This is a Rosemead issue.

And my only concern is for you, our elected
Councilmembers, to examine your consciences for the
right decision, and out the betterment of Rosemead ahead
of any other consideration.
Both sides have spent much time and energy
using pollution, traffic, dissecting corporate operation
policies, dividing Rosemead into north and south areas.
We are one community with one purpose. And that's
what's the best thing that can be done for the
betterment of Rosemead.
After being a Rosemead resident for over 45
years, I've been proud to cast my vote for candidates
running for the office of Rosemead Council who make
decisions for my community. Over the years the Council
has shown their courage in passing some very tough
projects. And I would like the Council to reinstate my
faith again by displaying their wisdom and think only of
the betterment of Rosemead of this Wal-Mart project_
It saddens me to see Rosemead's last national
chain supermarket leave our Town. Myself, along with
other Rosemead residents, are spending our tax dollars
in other communities. While Iwe travel out of Rosemead,
we're passing right through the opponents' streets and
spreading noise and pollution. There is no such thing
as a free pollution area in Rosemead or even any other

community in the San Gabriel Valley.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. JEAN HALL: Just because you can't see the
pollution doesn't mean that it's not there.
The plans are in place, the studies have been
made. Job and tax revenues alone should be the most
imaortant factor in wanting this project to move
forward. Let's stop being influenced by the gloom and
doom excuses,.and stay focused on the main reason and
approve the Wal-Mart proposal. And then that is doing
what is good for the betterment of Rosemead.

MR. BOB WOO: Somewhere down the line, I think

MR. BOB WOO: We have elected officials that
came here and supposedly accused our City Council of not
telling the truth, of us not speaking the truth. Yet
they don't have the audacity to stay and hear the
truth.
We have a state senator who came and said the
60 Freeway is the worst congested freeway in the state,
and Caltrans gave it an "F." Yes, she was on the
Traffic Commission_ Did she do something about that?
(Audience interruption.)
MR_ BOB WOO: We have people from the school
board who are saying that they're speaking on behalf of
the children. I don't see any fourth grader here
speaking their mind. The only mind they spoke is when
their Parent gave them a sign and said, "Here, Honey.

MR. BOB WOO: -- and a resident in this
country, I'm proud to have Wal-Mart sitting on top of

Members of the City Council and Planning
Commission, we have heard a lot of personal opinions,
both tonight and also previous nights when we had the
public hearings. You guys are the elected officials.
We have a panel of experts sitting up there who --
(Audience interruption.)
MR. BOB WOO: -- knows what's best for the
community. So with that, I will stop talking. But we
will let you make that decision. And we'll let -- and I
will trust you with the decision -- that you guys will

Thank you.

And have a very larger street, very large, beautiful.
So I'm very proud of Rosemead.
And the reason I support it -- I said yes for
the Wal-Mart, because Wal-Mart is bringing to the
Rosemead -- I am sure it will bring all the businessmen
and group, very good. Also, the residential and the --
I'm sure within a few.year the property will rose at

property, your houses are worth more. So good luck to

it's like to sit over there and have people yell and boo

I stand in support of Wal-Mart, and I do so for
probably for personal reasons, more than most. I was
born in Bentonville, Arkansas. That's the hometown of
Wal-Mart.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. STUART YORK: I moved --
(Audience interruption.)
MR. STUART YORK: I've lived in California for
25 years. I've lived -- I knew Mr. Walton. I knew him
before he started Wal-Mart and when he had the dream of
putting a store in a community that would meet the needs
of the average family trying to stretch the buck to meet
the needs of their family. He had this dream to be able
to do it, and he started out with one store. And when
he cot through with that store, he realized that it was
working. People were getting jobs. People were able to
buy a quality product.at a good price and fulfill the
dream to take care of the family.
I also had a daughter who worked for Wal-Mart,
worked her way through college working at Wal-Mart. And
so I know all about the stuff about the healthcare and
the benefits and the pay. And so much of that is just

flat hogwash.
I do want to thank some of our elected
officials, though, for bringing up the issue about the
study that was done that said that Wal-Mart employees
earn so much, you know, government assistance.What
they failed to tell you was that that study was done by
the University of California Berkeley Institute of
Labor, which Governor Schwartzenegger called "Labor
University," and was sponsored by the labor unions.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. STUART YORK: You might want to check the
contribution list of those who made those statements to
find out how much money they take from unions.
Let me close with this one thing. It's
important_ Wal-Mart is good for the community. They do
a lot of charitable things. 0They help the schools.
They help the community. M
But there is one constituency I don't want you
to forget. When that store opens, people who live in
Rosemead will be standing in line for those jobs.
(Audience interruption.)
MR_ STUART YORK: And when that door is opened,
men and women, husbands and (wives, single parent

amilies will be able to buy things for their families
they can afford at a Wal-Mart store. Thank you very

MS. SANDY NEEDS: Mayor Clark, members of the
City Council, my name is Sandra Needs. I'm a Republican
nominee for the 49th State Assembly District.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. SANDY NEEDS: I'm here to support local
control and local decision-making in our cities. Local
control is an important aspect of the political process
in Calif'ornia, and it is something all City
Councilmembers have fought to maintain for their
citizens.
It's apparent that many here would like for any
state or federal official who agrees with them to make
the decision on this local land use matter. I think we
have seen that the further an elected official is
removed from the impact of a decision they make, the
worse the decision. Let me remind you that the very
reason this proposal is so tempting financially is
because those legislators are the ones who've been
raiding your city treasury to support the deficit
spending habits.
Now they seem surprised that you would be
working to replace that funding so you can keep police,
fire, paramedic services for your city residents. Are

Senator Romero and Assemblymember Chu really that out of
touch?
One of the reasons I decided to run for the
Assembly was because I was discouraged by the current
legislative efforts to erode and usurp the authority of
local cities and counties. Local elected officials know
what is most appropriate for their city. You are the
officials closest to the voters. You are also the most
attentive and accountable for the decisions you make.
And you best understand the needs of your residents.
If I am elected to the Assembly, I can assure
you --
(Audience interruption.)
MS. SANDY NEEDS: -- that I'm not going to be
standing here telling you how you should be conducting
your business while I'm picking your pockets to fund
$100,000 prison guard salaries and biased labor
institutes housed in our public university
systems_
Rosemead should be proud of the progress you've
made in the last few years, iespite economic downturns
that have closed or relocated a Montgomery Wards,
several banks, Toys 'R Us, Harley Davidson, Ralphs and
other retailers. Rosemead has persevered and attracted
a Starbucks, I -HOP, Levitz Furniture, Target, Bed, Bath

and Beyond, and many successful ethnic businesses. This
has been a remarkable achievement. The City Council
deserves enormous credit for bringing jobs and tax
revenue to the city. It has enabled you to continue to
provide quality services without having to raise taxes.
That's another thing that Miss Romero and Miss Chu don't
seem to appreciate either.
I think this Wal-Mart proposal with all the
design changes you've included to address the neighbors
concerns is a good idea for the City.of Rosemead. I
hope you won't be intimidated by those elected officials
who are telling you otherwise. After all, the_y.don't
have to explain to the residents of Rosemead why there
are fewer sheriffs or why the paramedics took so long to
arrive or why all the taxes have to be raised --
(Audience interruption.)
MS. SANDY NEEDS: -- nor seeming to care if
Rosemead residents now have to leave town to buy some cf
the most basic household groceries and supplies. The
people you need to listen to are the voters of your
city.

they need the low prices, and they need to fund their
city services. Thank you.

Nobody told you that you couldn't have your

Wal-Mart, but your plan to put it in my quiet, peaceful

outsider. It's unacceptable just to be.polite. At the

10
called outsiders by pro Wal-Mart speakers. I wonder if
11
that was a talking point provided by the Rosemead City

13
held at the Chamber of Commerce where South Rosemead
14
residents where refused entrance.

I wonder'if it was the same City of Rosemead

of the outsiders_ I wonder while North Rosemead
19
residents are shuttled in coLort and ease to shop at

Wal-Mart, will South Rosemeai taxpaying voters pay for
21
the shuttle? I bet they could hardly wait.
22
Do you know that the EIR states. -that the reason

traffic will not be a problem is that South Rosemead
c

$500,000 annually. I wonder now, what --if it was about
the people? This is where hundreds of families have
mann homes. The families have been here for
generations.
Rosemead City Council, I ask -you: Do you know
the Rosemead people in this area of South Rosemead? Do
you really know how many residential houses,townhouses;
condos south of Rush are in Rosemead? _More than 704. I
have every single address. Figuring four people to each
home, that's 2800 people.
Have you dismissed your own cittl'zens as
outsiders, because they're among us? eYou're pitting the
north against the south.
All the horrors of Wal-Mart described here
tonight will not just happen to South -San Gabriel .
residents. It will also happen to the -Rosemead
residents living in South Rosemead. It will be total
hell for them.
You know Wal-Mart is incompatible with our
neighborhood.. You do know the studies -show the air
pollution at this very site is the wor.st of the entire
San Gabriel Valley. And you want to increase it.
Do you know that hundreds.of young elementary
115

On that field?

When the City fathers got as far as Rush
Street, they were a generation that really cared about
what the people -- the people were there. Many, manv
people were there. So when they decided to zone -- they
got as far as Rush. Rush is Rosemead on both sides.
Rush is a terrible street. Everyone fronting Push is a
Rosemead citizen. They didn't plan on all this, of
course. So what they did was they zoned -- all of the
land along Rush on the south side, they zoned it for
multiple housing and put in condos.
Then they went up Walnut Grove -- which they
kind of went up by uninhabited -- you know, less
registered voters. Anyway, they got up Walnut Grove and
thev zoned that also. All those people on Walnut
Grove -- fronting Walnut Grove is Rosemead citizens.
Rosemead is the worst possible position. Why do we keep
going back to just South San Gabriel?
Now then there is a huge condo that runs along
San Gabriel Boulevard. When you get to Walnut Grove and
San Gabriel Boulevard, it's everybody's nightmare. That
is all Rosemead_ South San Gabriel is there, but South
San Gabriel is all our one zone. Rosemead takes the
brunt of it all. Don't forget that.
For God's sake, you don't like the idea that
our supervisor came out to represent us. But how many
117
1
times have I been told that when peen-le moved in, they
2
said, "I'm glad we're in the city. We have

representation." Do they? Do they? Not unless they

live in the north, apparently.

have 360 associates that have stories as well. I will
share these things with you very briefly.
That we build our store one store at a time.
And if we employ the citizens here, then it becomes a
community store. You cannot take that away_
I will sav these things. That in m_v store, 75
percent of my associates are full-time with benefits.
You cannottake that away from me, regardless of.what is
said publicly.

MR. STEVE YOUNGS: And though I don't wish this
to be anything other than fact-finding information for
those who may or may not believe, we are a community.
When I was picked as store manager, the first thing we
did is we sat down. And I introduced myself to someone
that would listen, be involved, care, and stand behind
my company's name.
But more than that, I stand behind the beliefs
that I have for my family. And I when meet daily,
monthly, weekly with my City Council -- they come to me
and say, "Steve, these are the concerns," I want you to
know that we'll listen_ It's a condition of my
employment to take care of my company's reputation and
my employees and my associates.

MAYOR CLARK: Dan Farino.
MR. DAN FARINO: My name is Dan Farino_ Good
evening to the City Council. And Mayor Clark, you are a
saint.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to
speak tonight. This is an exceptionally important
meeting, obviously, by your venue here this evening_ I
am a small business owner_ I own Huntington Lock and
Key Service in the City of Duarte_ I've been a
locksmith for more than 25 years.
Tonight I tell you with strong conviction, the
opening of a Wal-Mart store I your City of Rosemead
will only strengthen and help @@ to make other small
businesses in the surrounding, areas thrive and
flourish.
(Audience -interrupt ion.)
MR. DAN FARINO: Wal-Mart in your community
will maintain a working relationship that will benefit
local tax revenues, schools, other businesses, the

beautification of your city. And most importantly,
pride and integrity.
In fact, for me and many other small
businesses, Wal-Mart has been our best friend. My
opinions are not based on political theory, but rather
my business and my personal relationship with Wal-Mart
and its many members of management.
My testament to Wal-Mart runs deep, nine -years
deep_ In the summer of 1995, construction began on
Store 2401 in Duarte, California. My company, being the
local locksmith in town, received a call from a young
man who at the time had just entered the Wal-Mart
management training program_ My life would soon change
after that phone call, and so would his.
One month later I found myself at the new
Duarte Wal-Mart rekeying and master keying all the
locks, changing safe combinations, installing deadbolts,
and helping out with all of thesecurity needs and
issues that needed attention. They put their trust in
me. And since then, I have been grateful for all of the
business they have given to me.

MR. DAN FARINO: In downtown Lone Beach
Wal-Mart serves a community that was once run-down
vacant old buildings as an anchor to more than 40
businesses, and has since become a beautiful downtown
urban village where people live in new city -style
townhomes and eat in new restaurants and shop close by
at clothing outlets and other small businesses, other
small businesses that provide jobs.

Madam Mayor and City Council --
MAYOR CLARK: Start the time over now.
MS_ NADINE GOMEZ: My name.is.Nadine Gomez, and.
I an, the manager of the marketing business department
for the Career Partners in the City of Rosemead. The
Career Partners -- what we do is we service unemployed
residents of the area.
I'm here today -- and I have full authority to
state that Career Partners joins with the City of
Rosemead in stating that Wal-Mart would be of
significant economic value in this community. In these
slow economic times, there is far less business
formation and job creation in the San Gabriel Valley.
We need all the jobs we can get in this area.
We also support the big -box business of
Wal-Mart coming into the community. Career Partners has
had firsthand experience in assisting Wal-Mart with
their hiring needs. In a local city and -- a local
city, which Baldwin Park -- the City of Baldwin Park and
the City of Wal-Mart -- excuse me -- Career Partners, we

assisted that particular Wal-Mart in hiring over 300
employees for that location. That particular location
hired over 300 employees in their community with high
wages -- high wage-earning positions, with attractive
wages, with benefits.
We understand that the average job at Wal-Mart
pays over $10 -- from $9 to $10 an hour. Many of their
employees are single parents who, without businesses
such as Wal-Mart, might continue to be on public
assistance_ Many testimonials have been given to
support these jobs and the prosperity they bring to the
community.
Career Partners assisted with prescreening
applicants, offered customized training, assisted with
human resources, labor trends, wage information, and
assisted Wal-Mart with their orientation and recruitment
processes_
According to the 2000 census data, the income
and poverty levels for the City of Rosemead show over
15,139 residents on public alsistance, which translates
to welfare; of those, Temporary Aid for Needy Families,
commonly known as TANF, Calworks, General Relief,
MediCal, food stamps, in-house supportive services. And
all of these figures are reported by the Department of
Social Services caseload characteristics.

MAYOR CLARK: I'm sorry.
MS. NADINE GOMEZ: Okay.

MAYOR CLARK: Dr. Lillian Sacco.
DR. LILLIAN SACCO: My name is Lillian Sacco.
I've lived on Walnut Grove since 1948, so I have a stake
in what happens in Rosemead.. I also have laryngitis,' so
you have to sort of excuse me.
But you've heard the saying that if we don't
learn from history, we tend to repeat it. And every so
often a city has defining.moments when residents get
polarized on some important issue that impinges on their
lives. And if we -- looking back in the 1970s when
redevelopment became an issue and residents were
concerned about the impact on their homes because the
redevelopment agency had the right of eminent domain,
125
0
1 many residents were worried_ So we had a polarizing
2 fight about redevelopment, as Councilman Taylor and the
3 City Attorney are well aware. The public uproar
4 finished with one Councilmember being recalled and two
5 Councilme.*abers being defeated. Two new Councilmembers
6 were elected, and one of them still sits on the
7 Council.
g Then there was a -- then there was a turmoil
9 about the cogeneration power.plant.. And then there was.
10 a turmoil about the chemical company. And the chemical
11 company gave up the fight voluntarily, because they saw
12 that the residents did not want that type of chemical
13 company in the city.
14 Now we come to the granddaddy of all of the
15 defining moments, the proposal by Wal-Mart to build a
16 supercenter on Push between Walnut Grove and Delta.
17 Don't underestimate the extent of the opposition to the
18 big -box development. Residents throughout the city are
19 appalled at the prospect of i Wal-Mart Supercenter
20 plunked straight down in a residential neighborhood.
21 Traffic gridlock, diesel dellvery trucks, noise
22 pollution, air pollution threatening sensitive receptors

Wal -Mart's strategy. This is all part of the history of
this mammoth retailer. And our city is a guinea pig.
Wal-Mart strategy is to saturate an area with Wal-Mart
stores: West Covina, Baldwin Park, Pico Rivera, and now
Rosemead. They drive out the competition, then they
close the worst stores, and they raise the prices of the
remaining store. Meanwhile, business districts lose
customers.
Don't let Rosemead play the Wal-Mart game.
Listen to the concerns of your taxpaying voting
residents and say "No" to Wal-Mart.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: Jewel Mehlman.
MS. JEWEL MEHLMAN: I live at 1055 Walnut Grove
Avenue, about 50 yards from the corner of San Gabriel
Boulevard and Walnut Grove, and about 100 yards from the
60'Freeway. So I know where of I speak.
You've heard from a lot of your fellow citizens
about the effects of a Wal-Mart. But I want to talk to
you on a different level. I want to talk to you
neighbor to neighbor, as fellow breathing human beings
about what having this huge conglomerate in the middle
of our home town will mean to us. Think of this
location on the corner of Walnut Grove Avenue and
Rush Street. It isn't even on a boulevard or on a main

street or in a business area. It's in a residential
neighborhood, for heaven sakes, with schools and homes
and children and senior ciens like us -
U__
My husband is an asthmatic. How is.he and the
rest of us going to breathe air from these huge
diesel -- from these huge trucks delivering merchandise
day and night to this superstore down the block.
When I was an English teacher at Hollenbeck
Junior High School in East Los Angeles, one of my
students made a sign for my room. It read in Spanish,
"Piense de to corazon de vez en cuando. Piense con su
corazon de vez en cuando." "Think with your heart from
time to time." Look at this gathering and tell us that
you want to plunk down a Wal-Mart in our midst.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. JEWEL MEHLMAN: When I moved to Rosemead, I
knew that my fellow citizens who represented me on the
City Council would think of me, instead of the tax
dollars that a Wal-Mart might bring in. This is a
personal fight with us because it affects the quality of
our lives.
So I leave you with that thought, "Think with
your hearts from time to time." Don't put a Wal-Mart .in
the backyard of your neighbors.

Councilmembers, as the Rosemead City Council, your job
has been extremely difficult these past months, as it is
even in the best of times. People just take it for
granted. They don't realize all of the things the City
Council and the City Manager and their the Staff do.
They all work together diligently to keep the city
running smoothly, and only hear from the public when
they want something or have a complaint.
There are those who ;want to run for City -- for
Rosemead City Council, not because they care about
u
Rosemead, but to use the office as a political stepping
stone. They think that opposing the Wal-Mart project
will achieve their desired rdsult. I would sav to those
individuals, we like our City Council just the way it

MS. JULIE GENTRY: The improvements that have
been made in the City of Rosemead just since 1997 are
really awesome, and we want to thank vou_ We are really
happy with the arrival of several new stores, among them
Bed, Bath and Beyond, and other improvements here in
Rosemead. We know that many efforts have been made
through the years to bring in more grocery stores, but
those stores just didn't want to come here.
Now here is a general merchandise store with a
potential of also selling groceries_ It will serve a
broad spectrum of our diverse population. Instead of
residents having to go out of Rosemead to shop, people
from other cities will come here to shop. Rosemead
really needs the substantial tax revenue to be gained
from having a Wal-Mart here.
Having this business will draw other business.
And I don't think that anyone seriously believes that
Wal-Mart will create a disaster of Biblical
proportions.
There has been a great deal of attention given
to who supports or opposes this plan and where they
live. I thought you might like to know that Rosemead
Pride took all the petitions for and against the
Wal-Mart, and we matched the names and addresses against

Mayor Clark, City Council, at the Rosemead
Planning Commission hearing on August 16th, Wal-Mart
took issue with my comments on "dark stores" or stores
where Wal-Mart has pulled out. Perhaps the people of
Wal-Mart are too _far on thelforward advance of
acquisition to see the wake of destruction they have
left behind.

Number 1832, Cathedral City, dark store; SAM'S Club
Number 6609, Cathedral City, dark store; Wal-Mart Number
1853, Hemet, dark store; Wal-Mart Number 1660, Palmdale,
dark store; Wal-Mart Number 6620, Rancho Cordova, dark
store; SAM's Club Number 6622, Sacramento, dark store;
Wal-Mart Number 1903, Yuba City, dark store; SAM's Club
Number 6624, San Bernardino, dark store.
Gentlemen of Wal-Mart, there are over 400 dark_
stores across the United States.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. BEVERLY THOMSON: It would take several
.hours to read the names and addresses. You can obtain a
list of the dark stores. They are listed at Wal-Mart
Realty, a division of Wal-Mart stores. The buildings
can be leased or the property purchased, as long as
you're not a competitor of Wal-Mart.
As I stated at the hearing on the 16th,
Wal-Mart is most insidious at undercutting the stability
of local communities. Once the local economy is damaged
and Wal-Mart is competing with its neighboring Wal-Mart
stores, Wal-Mart pulls out, devastating the community.
Wal -Mart's announcement of 40 more developments
in California should be a wake-up signal. Wal-Mart is
132
I already the biggest and wealthiest retailer. Their lack
2 of concern for people and communities is established.
3 Instead of people looking at what's going to happen,
A they should look at the trail of destruction across the
5 United States that Wal-Mart has left.
6 The health and welfare of two communities are
7 at stake with the development of Wal-Mart in Rosemead.
8 Air quality, traffic, and noise are significant and
9 unavoidable. Don't put Rosemead's economy in jeopardy.
10 If Wal-Mart pulls out, that's significant and
11 unavoidable. I urge you to vote no on the Wal-Mart
12 development.

19 issue because I think it's oierriding. The
20 environmental impact states that the air pollution
21 that's going to be generated at the site will travel
22 north, affecting five elementary schools: Rice --
23 directly across the street -,- Temple, Sanchez, Janson,

not stop at Vallev Boulevard. Nor does it stop at
Marshall Street. It's for all of vou. And it doesn't
discriminate. Whether you're young or whether _you're
old or even a Councilmember, it does not discriminate.
That, to me, is the overriding issue.
Now, Mr. Geller -- Mr. Geller, Mr. Geller,
Allied Planning, stated -- and I want to repeat it,
because he stated that noise is significant, but
unavoidable. .Traffic is significant, but unavoidable.
And the air pollution.is significant, but unavoidable.
I beg to differ. It is avoidable. If you do not put
the proposed project there, all of it will be
mitigated_
(Audience interruption.)
MS. YUKI FUKUMOTO: And the Councilmembers
would have stopped the mitigation and desimation of our
community.
And lastly, I just want to talk to the
Councilmembers collectively, as well as individually.
You, as Councilpeople, have the responsibility of making
sure our community is safe and healthy.
Now, there are other issues. Economic, I hear
a lot of_ But you know what, in the end, if I can't

the citizens of our community and you do not deserve to
be reelected to City Council.

MAYOR CLARK: Grace Shen. Is Grace Shen here?
MS. GRACE SHEN: Good evening, everybody. My
name is Grace Shen. I live in 8361 Anber Rose Lane,
just off Delta, the condominium across the street_ So I
agree Miss Yuki just said. Times are late, so all I
need to say is no Wal-Mart- I oppose it.

gentleman. So if you can wait until the break.
MR. DANIEL DP_NG: Okay.
MAYOR CLARK: Bert Ross.
MR. BERT ROSS: My name is Bert Ross. I live
at 2633 North La Presa, directly north of the Edison
corporate office building between Garvey and Fern.
I think there is a bigger problem here than
just pro or con Wal-Mart. I think there's a bigger
problem here that affects everybody. And let me get
into that a little bit. In 1952, me and my wife, Helen,
bought a small two-bedroom house on La Presa Avenue.
This area was then known as Garvey. We added on to
accommodate a growing family. Helen stayed home and
raised our five children, and I worked at a newspaper
printing trade in a union shop with union wages.
As I stand here speaking to you, I find myself
to be 82 years old. And I can tell you that the golden
years that you hear about are not always what they're
cracked up to be.
(Audience interruption.)
MR.. BERT ROSS: And I'm going to try to speak
to both sides of this issue, pro and con.
The reason I told you how old I am is to let
you know that I probably won't be around when or if
Wal-Mart opens for business. And I really should care

less what we do here tonight because I probably won't be

this city will be affected. Our children will be
affected, our grandchildren, and our great grandchildren
will be affected by this. And more important than that,
the people who now live on Rush, Delta, and Walnut Grove
surrounding the bia box will be immediately and forever
adversely impacted from the first day that the first
ditch digger appears_on the scene..
Now, on the other side, I can well understand
why we are forced to continue to look for bargains and
lower prices. And it is more difficult to make ends
meet. Good paying jobs are more and more difficult to
find. Husbands and wives both have to work at least one
job in order to --

problems have been coming on for the last 25 or 30
years. The great middle class that has made this
country great is fast disappearing. Our good skilled
jobs are going to third.world countries.
MAYOR CLARK: Bert, I'm sorry. We're going to
have to cut it off because I have to be fair to
everybody. Thank you.
We're going to take a break now.
MR. BERT ROSS: Please, please, please. Just
one more sentence. And I'm too old to beg. But I do
implore you to think through very carefully and consider
the ramifications of your final decision here tonight.
For you five Councilmembers hold in your hands the
future welfare for good or bad of some 50,000 residents
of this community.
Thank you for your time. Thank you for your
consideration.

Oh, wait. The next speaker is Joan Hunter.
MS. JOAN HUNTER: Thank you. Mayor Clark and
members of the City Council, my name is Joan Hunter,
President of the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce. I live
on Village Lane in the City of Rosemead_
I represent the Chamber and the Board of
i
Directors in support of the proposed.Wal-Mart in the
City of Rosemead. As a Chamber, our function is to
support business coming into our city. We are a
business for business. We don't want to miss the great
opportunity of Wal-Mart being part of our community. We
would like to reap the revenue benefits, as well as
employment.opportunities for the young and the old.
Many Wal-Mart jobs are held by students working through
school, retirees who need orIwant another career, and
working spouses in a two -income family.
Wal-Mart is committed to paying good and fair
wages for every single job. And in many cases higher
than unionized competitors. For benefits, Wal-Mart
provides 401(k) profit sharing. That is why they are
called "associates." Stock purchases, company paid life
insurance, as well as career advancement. As for health

care, more than 90 percent of Wal-Mart associates have
medical coverage.
On our community impact, no government entity
has proven that a single building with multiple product
lines, such as a Wal-Mart Supercenter, has any different
impact on a community than a series of individual
businesses located in a strip mall or a shopping
center.
Wal-Mart does not in any way encourage
associates to apply for public assistance. Upon a
thorough review of 134 Wal -Marts in the state, no
evidence was found to support such claims.
On small business impact, Wal-Mart started as a
small company competing against much larger companies.
Wal-Mart was successful because of the ability to meet
the needs of customers. Many retailers welcome having a
Wal-Mart in their neighborhood because increased traffic
generates more business.
For community benefits, Wal-Mart provides jobs
and supports communities financially through property
taxes, sales revenues, and community giving_
Last year Rosemead residents spent millions of
dollars in four Wal-Mart stores: Duarte, Pico Rivera,
Industry, and Baldwin Park. I'll bet those communities
are very happy to have better police protection, better

DANIEL DANG: Okay. I'll go first.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and
Honorable Mayor Clark and Mel ers of the City Council.
My name is Daniel Deng. I'm I-- first of all, I'd like
to give you credit for the City Council and also the
city officials, especially Planning Department. They

did a very, very thorough job in issuing a -- addressing
the issue.
When you are sick, you go to a doctor. When
you have a legal problem, you turn to a lawyer. I'm a
lawyer. I know if you come to me for legal -- when
you're sick, you're in trouble. That's the thing --
when we hear all these issues -- traffic problem, all
these problems, listen to the professional. The city
planner,.the city engineer, the traffic engineer, they
are the professional. The City paid them to do the job.
I have opportunity to work with the city
official like Mr. Fred -- Brad Johnson. I know his
integrity. When I applied for a sign, I said I would
hit him with a lawsuit if he did not approve it, but he
still want me to make a change. That's the kind of
integrity that the department have in the city.
The City should be proud of what employee they
have, the City of Rosemead. Our residents should be
proud what kind of servants we're having here. We are
fortunate to have these professionals. When they are
making a professional recommendation, we should listen.
Second of all, we're here not for -- it's for a
business purpose_ We're not here to try Wal-Mart.
There is a saying, he is innocent until proven guilty
No matter if Wal-Mart had done something wrong,

something illegal, if it were another Enron, they .would
not be here in a city applying for a permit. So let
them have the benefit of the doubt. Let's respect the
law. Wal-Mart did not do anything wrong. They did not
do anything wrong by bringing jobs to Rosemead. They
did not do anything wrong by creating new environment as
a convenience for our residents.
Thirdly, when talking about elected officials,
they are not -- they're elected official. Supervisor
Gloria -- right now many city have to face -- either had
to.allow casino in or Wal-Mart in. Let's say allow
Wal-Mart.

My family and I have lived in Rosemead since 19660. I
care about this city and itsifuture. Large businesses
are far and few between in R,semead_ And as you know,
we no longer have a large supermarket chain, which means
d
we have to travel out of the city just to go grocery
shopping, which is unbelievalble in a city the size of
Rosemead.

Wal-Mart in Rosemead and what it will mean to our.
community. We need the half million dollars a year in
tax revenue it would generate. P_nd we need the 350 jcbs
plus that it will generate for our citizens.
My family and I spend about 54- or $500 a month
at Wal-Mart going to Duarte, Covina, and Baldwin Park.
I'd rather spend the money here in our own city. Don't
let the relative diffused South San Gabriel citizens who
live around the corner from where Wal-Mart is going to
be to deter you from doing the right thing. Consider
our 50,000 Rosemead residents and vote for Wal-Mart in
the City of Rosemead.
Thank you. And thank you, Jay, for all your
hard work.

MS. SUMP_KO PALK: Thank you.
Good evening, Mayor Clark and the City Council.
My name is Sumako Palk. I'm a registered voter and live
in Rosemead.
Remember, it will be your fault when children,
senior citizens, and the residents surrounding the
proposed site or in the line of traffic become ill due
to the pollutants or become hurt due to the traffic
accidents. Or even yet, they may even die. And this is
all going to be for the sake of money or to have a
convenient place to shop. I urge you, where is your
common decency?
The proposed site is on Rush between Delta and
Walnut Grove. If you drive Town Delta, you'll notice
the street narrows. And You 11 also notice there are
many, many intersections. There are many houses on
those intersections, and they do not have any other
outlet, except for Delta. The street is so narrow that
when cars are parked, two cars cannot comfortably pass
each other. And it's very dangerous because -- even as
it is now, when cars exit into that street, you can't

see _f there is a car parked there. It's an accident
waiting to happen. And there have been many accidents
there.
If you drive down Walnut Grove, you'll see many
houses. From Rush to San Gabriel, there are many
intersections. And there are many houses there, and
they do not have any other exit. Walnut Grove is the
only exit they have. And currently, it is very
difficult to exit at certain times of the day.
What's going to happen when all of those cars
come? Rush, Delta; Rush, San Gabriel; San Gabriel,
Walnut Grove; Delta and San Gabriel. Currently, those
intersections are very dangerous. Add the 12,000 trips
of cars in that area, the 25 trucks -- some of them
diesel -- you're going to have a traffic nightmare, and
the citizens there are going to be trapped_
It is very cavalier for you to think that
because it only affects a small portion of Rosemead,
that you don't have to care about the other residents
living there. They are people, too. Don't you have a
heart?
Wal-Mart.
I urge you to -- I urge you, please say "No" to

13 real protagonists in this issue is Wal-Mart versus the
14 unions that have utterly failed to organize Wal-Mart

MS. MARY JO MAXWELL: Good evening, Madam
Mayor, Councilmembers, Staff, ladies and gentlemen.
Mary Jo Maxwell, former executive director of
the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce. I'm here this
evening. I want to remind you all about one thing,
free enterprise. The right of a landowner to sell their
property, the right to buy property, and the right to
develop and build on that property. The City is not
putting Wal-Mart and Edison in. Edison put the property
up for sale. Wal-Mart made an offer and is buying the
property. We have to remember that.
The Chamber was founded more than 75 _years ago.

with a goal to strengthen the Arivate enterprise system
and to assure that there is incentives, initiatives, and
freedom of growth for all, the individual, businesses,
and the community.
The City Council and Staff are to be commended
for thoroughly investigating all aspects of this
project. They have spent months and months researching
and listening. Professional Staff has dug into every
issue. Wal-Mart is to be commended for mitigating the
concerns and input gathered at previous hearings_ Plans
have been revised and downsized to meet and address
residents' needs and wants: lighting, signals, crossing
guards, security, walls, landscaping. This will be an
asset to the neighborhood.
And thank you to the Planning Commission for
their "Yes" vote and their foresight on this project
last month_ They listened for more than seven hours,
and they made the right decision.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. MARY JO MAXWELLI: A company such as Edison
has the right to sell their property as they choose. A
company such as Wal-Mart has the right to purchase and
develop their property. An ] the residents of Rosemead
deserve the opportunity to shop in their own city.

Council does an outstanding job of keeping it -- working
to keep ,it unique and beautiful without imposing a
utility tax, without imposing business licenses on
businesses.
We do not have major stores to shop at. You

elsewhere.

employees themselves have voted to stay that way. But

MAYOR CLARK: Ed Portillo.
MR. ED PORTILLO: Yes. Thank you. .First of.
ail, I do live in Monterey Park as well. And the reason
why I'm here is because my wife and I and our family do
a lot of shopping at different Wal -Marts: Norwalk,
Pico Rivera, and Duarte. We shop there quite a bit.
And we look forward to shopping here in Rosemead, since
Monterey Park is running out of space to provide a
Wal-Mart there. j
Our Governor would commend you, City Council,
because -- you know, he would agree that blessed are the
job creaters. Wal-Mart is a�job.creator.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. ED PORTILLO: Ald they generate goodwill_
How do they generate goodwilll? They give us
opportunities -- like many have said earlier -- to shop
and buy things at a price that cannot be bezten_ They

set the pace for other companies to follow. It's always
the leaders that are trying to be dragged down by the
slower ones who just don't get it.
I am also a person who is part of an
association, better known as a union member. I am not
against any of the union members out there, but beware
of your union leaders.
Also, I say that Wal-Mart, when it comes, will
bring you many, many jobs, many, many opportunities for
you to ask them to assist your schools with special
projects. They will give you tens of thousands of
dollars.to do that.
And so I hope that you will take all of these
wonderful words that have been said -- yes, you can't
please everyone. But you must do what's best for your
city. And I commend you for that.

resident of the City of Monterey Park. I'm also a
former teacher of the Garvey School District. And I'm
coming here.tonight -- I have three points. I'm going
to try to keep it under three minutes.
Number 1 is tax revenue. According to an
article that I read in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune,

over $600,000 -- and also the report that you presented
earlier this evening -- over $600,000 in tax revenue are
going to go to directly the city coffers every year,
just -rom this one Wal-Mart store. According tO an
article I read in the Pasadena Star News, Rosemead
residents spend over $20 million annually at Southern
California Wal -Marts. And now we are presented here
with an opportunity to keep that money within the city.
To me, that seems like a no-brainer, as John Tran was
saying.
So what.will this revenue do for the residents
of the city? Tax revenue provides for road maintenance
and improvements; better lighting; more money for
libraries, parks and recreation; also more money for
sheriff and fire services. Also, as we just mentioned,
Wal-Mart donates money to the local community, as well
as local school districts; over tens of thousands of
dollars for every new store that's opened. And it
continues throughout the course of the store's
existence.
My second point is unemployment. I went to the
California Employment Department web site and I looked
up the unemployment for the City of Rosemead, which is
currently 7.9 percent. The County of Los Angeles
unemployment rate is 6.9 percent. The State of
153

California unemployment percentage rate is 6.5 percent.
So let's compare the 7.9 percent in the City of Rosemead
and the 7.2 percent in the community of South
San Gabriel to the neighboring cities. Alhambra, 5.74.
Arcadia, 3.4 percent. Montebello, 6.3 percent.
San Gabriel, 5.8 percent. San Marino, 2.6 percent. And
Temple City, 4.3 percent. There are nearly 2300 people
in the City of Rosemead and the community of South
San Gabriel who are without a job_
The typical Wal-Mart store employs anywhere
from 300 to 500 people. As a teacher, I knew of a
mother who had to walk from her home on Walnut Grove to
the Rosemead Target. When she heard in 2002 that there
might be a Wal-Mart coming to her community, she was
overjoyed because she would only have to walk two
blocks.
Councilmembers, are you going to let this room
of people stop those 2300 people from seeking a
employment in their own community --
(Audience interruption.)
MR. MICHAEL PORTILLO: -- and are we saying
that the people can't or shouldn't have a job unless
it's a union job? If people need to work --

MAYOR CLARK: James Flournoy.
James Flournoy is gone?
He's here?
MR. JAMES FLOURNOY: James Flournoy, 8655
Landis View, Rosemead. I'd like to discuss the general
plan and zoning issues.
I called the neighboring cities of West Covina,
San Gabriel Valley, South San Gabriel, Duarte, and
Pico Rivera, and none of them seemed to think that a
big -box stand-alone supercenter should be done with
regular commercial zoning. ind it should probably be
done as a planned development. P.nd I would commend you
to do that. I .
They would think that a Pigaly Wiggly or a
JJ Newberry or -a smaller stole could be done the way
you're planning on doing it. But Montebello wouldn't
even do a Costco in a regular commercial zone, much less
in the way the zone is currently done. But I think
maybe we ought to go back to the drawing board and do a
complete revisit of our general plan and the zoning

issue.
Now, the second thing I'd like to talk about,
the zero sun game. I spoke to a young gentleman here
that was doing economic analysis. And I don't see
any -- i see a claim that we're going to get $400- to
$600,000 worth of revenue. But I don't see -- since
people are probably going to be spending less total, if
Wal-Mart prices are cheaper, thein the total revenue
generated is.probably less.-- which I guess people's
discretionary income could buy other things, of course.
But if sales tax revenue is just transferred from one
pocket to another, which businesses are losing sales tax
revenue and which businesses being concentrated in one
supercenter.
Same with employment. Do we have businesses in
Rosemead that are going to lose employment? And do we
have an estimate of how much employment we're going to
gain with the Wal-Mart? Personally, I don't think the
concentration of employment or sales tax revenue versus
having diversified throughout the community is
necessarily a good idea. But that's for the City
Council to decide.
The taxes -- the net amount of taxes gained,
people coming into Rosemead to shop, I don't see where
the census tracts or,where the zip codes of where we

think these shoppers are coming from. We're surrounded
by Wal -Marts and supercenters. it's not very far to any
of them. So I don't know what the net gain of people
coming from areas where there are alreadv supercenters
to come into Rosemead. I'd like to see that data before
you make a vote on this issue.
Thank you very much.

MAYOR CLARK: Over here.
MR. WES DINH: Yead hi. My name is Wes Dinh,
and I live in the South San Gabriel area. And I'm here
to oppose the Wal—Mart because I think the area is not
suitable for Wal-Mart. Traffic is just not right. The
streets are too small. If it was close to a freeway,
yeah. But you know, it's the traffic coming in from
the 60 Freeway is too narrow and curving. And you can
only go like -- what, 15, 20 miles per hour. And when
you hit the Rosemead -- I mean, Walnut Grove, you have

traffic. And then you come down by -- what that Chinese

go
by that
Roth Street, don't
have no
traffic.
Then you
go
down to
Southern California
Edison,
again no
traffic.
Then you go further, you get another one. And then you
go down by -- you got a total of seven to eight traffic
within less than a quarter mile.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. WES DINH:. Anyway, everybody here have
a car. Everybody here sound like Rosemead is in a
desert or something, you have to drive far away to go to
Wal-Mart or to any other store. Around here in
Rosemead, Montebello, we have Costco. And we get --
what's that, Asian market everywhere. I don't see
anybody go shop at Asian market_ Asian market have
everything. And let's see, we have Target. We've got a
number of mom-and-pop store. And all the Asian market
sell all the junk from China, and so does Wal-Mart.
(Audience interruption.)
MR_ WES DINH: Talk about employment, I don't
think Wal-Mart going to hire about 800 people. I don't
think so.
And you know, this is not right. Something
wrong about this picture, you know_ Everybody complain
about no stores to.shop. Come on_ we've got Costco
158
l everywhere. We've got Kmart_ We've got Targets around
2 every -- I mean, everybody here own a car. Come on.
3 It's not like you have to ride a bike over.
4 And you know, Council, I'm not a resident of
5 Rosemead. But, you know, my address in Rosemead. I
6 don't 'snow why_ It should say South San Gabriel_ And,
7 you know, we paid tax to the City of Los Aingeles. And
8 you know, the -- let's see, $20 million spent -- see,
9 Wal-Mart last year. I think that's a wrong number. You
10 know, I think it's more like 5 million or so. You
11 know.
12 And that's all I have to say. No Wal-Mart,
13 please.

MS. VELIA NAVARRO: Here.
MAYOR CLARK: Thank you.
MS. VELIA NAVARRO: Okay. There is not too
much more that I can say, other than I'm a registered
voter. I've lived in the City of Rosemead for 32 years.
I live across the street from Rice Elementary School.
And I love the tranquil area and the beautiful city I
live in.
I oppose Wal-Mart for the simple reason that
it's going to destroy our area, and everything has
been -- I can't say adding more to it than to say that
the pollution, all the schools that we have around:

Don Bosco, Rice, Sanchez, Hill, and others that will be

we do not have markets. We do. We have the Big Saver
and we have Beaches. It's in the City of Rosemead. I
do shopping there. I go to Costco. There isn't
anything wrong with that.
And another Wal-Mart would just contribute more
chaos, more traffic. There are 10 Wal -Marts that I have
that are within 4- to 11 -mile radius from where I live.
You have Pico Rivera. You have Santa Fe Springs,
Baldwin Park, Duarte, Norwalk, Paramount, City of
Industry, Cerritos, Covina, and La Habra. We don't
need another Wal-Mart.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. VELIA NAVARRO: I agree with the city
officials that came down that represent us. And I agree
with everything they say. I am requesting that the City
Council of Rosemead please take into consideration all
what we have expressed here tonight and the other
previous meetings that we've had.
The film show that was shown on that big screen
was really impressive. I really like the planning. But
it left me with one little bewilderment from the last
meeting. The gentleman that represents Wal-Mart, that's
the attorney that had the audacity to stand on his two

feet with roots already growing onto our turf, here
saying that the City Council could not dictate or tell
Wal-Mart how many hours, how many days a week they can
work, but yet my block can be disturbed with all this
noise_
Do you want Wal-Mart, the City Council, across
the street from your house? Or the gentleman that's the
attorney that lives in San Bernardino on Hospitality
Road. If he's so hospitable, put Wal-Mart across their
street_

MS. JUNE KIZU: I'm here. I'm June Kizu. I
live on Walnut Grove. I oppose Wal-Mart. I agree with
all the points everyone made. I just -want to clarify a
couple of things.
A lot of people talked about the substitution
of higher jobs -- higher -paying jobs to lower -paying
jobs at Wal-Mart and disputed that. There was an

attempt by Wal-Mart at the Planning Commission to
discredit that report. That report was not sponsored by
the unions. Tt was supported by the State of
California. Anyone that understands -research, any
research from the University of California has strict
guidelines on reliability, validity, and unbiased
information.
I have the report with me. And the sources of
the data for that report came from -- it was made in,
let's see, March 2001. Was made available publicly by
Wal-Mart via the testimony of Dr. Richard Drogan in the
court case of sex discrimination. So that data of where
their wages came from came from Wal-Mart. And it was
comoared with statewide wages from other retail
companies. So there is no disputing the data. Wal-Mart
pays less.
Andyes, their workirs do work 28 hours. Their
families are noted to have applied for and received
public assistance. This is !!!documented in this report.
Okay. That's one. So that'! one fact that cannot be
discredited.
The other one is this conditional use permit,
this 24 hours, where we saw the Planning Commission in
front of our eyes buckle to Wal-Mart and say, "Well,
okay. We'll do 24 hours after it's grocery." What's

the difference between 24 hours now and 24 hours three
years from now? It's the same thing.. How long do you
think every conditional permit is going to fall at
Wal -Mart's whim?
24-hour trucks. Of course, right now you're
saying you're going to limit them. You won't. Are you
going to reroute all the traffic on Walnut Grove? So
will we on Walnut Grove also get a 14 -foot wall all the
way up and down on Walnut Grove? If they're getting one
on Rush, I want one on Walnut Grove if you are saying
it's significant and unavoidable. As I understand from
the EIR report, it is significant and unavoidable.
Have the courage to say "No" to Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart is a corporate bully. Stand up for the
residents_ Thank you.

MAYOR CLARK: Ving Low, L -o -w, 1039 La Presa.
MR. VING LOW: Hi. I've lived on La Presa for
16 years. I hear a lot about job creation. And I'm a
manufacturing engineer. And I see a lot of job losses
that come from suppliers supplying to Wal-Mart. They're
moving all the jobs to China and basically killing all
the manufacturing jobs in this country. Manufacturing
is the backbone of this country_ If you don't have
manufacturing jobs here, I don't know where you're going

to shop -- where you're going to get the money to shop
at Wal-Mart. So I don't care how low prices. are or what
thev claim, no job, you're not going to buy at
Wal-Mart.
A friend of mine is supplying Wal-Mart, and I
talked to him over the weekend. And he said they sell
to Wal-Mart_ He said Wal -Marts only tells them what to
do and tells them, "You will only sell to me. You
cannot sell to anybody else." Is that competition? I
don't think so.
And Wal-Mart controls the price, tells him what
to do and everything. So you think this is good for
this country, think twice.
If all elected officials are against Wal-Mart
and all of these negative things are coming against
Wal-Mart, and you still believe in Wal-Mart, I think
something is wrong here.
I just don't believe whatever they say, you
know. And this is ridiculous.
And next, I guess I'm going to say about my
neighborhood. I've lived there for 16 years. I'm
raising a very good family, a nice family. Schools are
here. So I don't want it destroyed, so -- all these
negative things that's coming out against Wal-Mart. So
I hope you guys believe -in what our flag says, "Rosemead

oppose the project and do not have a need to speak.

MR. JOHN KAWAKAMI: Okay. I guess I'll start
with a complaint. I didn't really mean to start with a
complaint, but the fact that I'm speaking so late in the
evening -- and it seemed like the deck was stacked to
have a lot of pro Wal-Mart people at the very
beginning. I'm not sure if that's just how it happened,
but it seems kind of weird that all these anti Wal-Mart

(Audience interruption.)
MR. JOHN KAWAKA.MI: And the other thing I
didn't expect is I didn't expect to do a follow-up on
what Ding said. And I do have a general objection to
Wal-Mart stealing jobs. And they increase efficiency,
but they also deskill jobs. And they lower the average
compensation for retail and service jobs.
Once upon a time about 100 years ago,
technology deskilled the trades, and they created a lot
of new jobs. There were factory jobs that paid lousy
and were unsafe. After people found out about these bad
jobs, they demanded reforms, more safety, and better
wages. The years that followed were called progressive
era. And the reforms which were made then helped create
the middle class of the.1950s. These same manufacturing
jobs became the good jobs that we wish weren't being
sent overseas today. And that's, I guess, my political
statement. IL Y
I'm dust going to get back to the real issue
here. And I'm here to 9peak lfor myself and for my
mother, who lives in the area. And she can't -- she
didn't come here because sheldoesn't speak much English.
And I'm sure there are a lot of people in her situation
who are older and who can't come at night and speak. My

objections and some of her objections are --vou know,
I'll just list them.
One is the general plan amendment that's
changing the character of the neighborhood from -- you
know, the site is supposed to be an office/light
industrial. And there was some talk before about having
it be residential. Now they want to change it to a
retail area that is not even next to another retail
area. There's not going to be any kind of increased
traffic that's going to help improve.iocal businesses,
because the only business that's really going to be
there is Wal-Mart.
The second thing is that it's a 24-hour store.
It's going to be one of the only 24-hour stores in the
area, so people around are going to know that when they
want to get a beer at 1:30 a.m., they can go to
Wal-Mart. It's open 24 hours. What are they going to
do in the area? There's nothing else. So they'll just
drive around. Maybe they'll find, you know -- I don't
know, find a place to buy some drugs or something. I
don't know.
And one thing that was in the Environmental
Impact Report that was dismissed, it's -- okay. I'll
just make this my final thing -- is that they said that
there didn't need to be any kind of research done on
168
' ` 16:
I
shortcuts, especially in thejarea parallel to
2
Walnut Grove north of Rush. And I think that that's
3
still something that merits research -
4
And the last thing is that a lot of other
5
governments are requesting environmental impact studies
6
regarding big boxes.
7
MR. WALLIN: Time.
8
MR_ JOHN KAWAKAMI: Okay. And I'd like to

request that Rosemead also seek an_environmental impact

No. We are in Rosemead_. I care. It affects my
neighborhood. Okay. And that's why these people are
here. The project affects these people's life, daily
life. If you say, "Hey, I want Wal-Mart. It's great
jobs;" well, you can say that. I hear a lot of comments
about that.
Have you guys thought about the store that will
be closed? Those are the people that will lose their
job. I have not heard one comment about that tonight.
Okay. The mom-and-pop store that have been around for a
while, I guarantee you they won't be there after within
a year. Why? I have seen it firsthand. Okay. The
home town I came from, Wal-Mart was built. Kmart shut
down within one year. Okay. In Portola, California,
you guys want to check it. It's no lie. I have seen it
firsthand.
One thing I want to point out is I don't want
Wal-Mart to buy our city. We,. as a city, should look at

the issue why are we for it and why are Ode aga-inst 1t.
Throughout the night -- it's unfortunate I speak so
late, because I really want to make this comment. Like
one of the gentleman said, we are American. We have the
right to come up here and speak our mind. There was a
lot of booing. I told my kids, "Don't do it. They have
the right to express their opinion." Okay. Just like
I'm here, and please don't boo me. Okay.
Traffic. We live in that neighborhood. What
Gloria Molina said is absolutely true. Those
intersections have a problem. They have problem now;
the problem will be worse. We are the ones that have to
go through those intersections, not you. The people
that are for it that want to get cheap prices, where do
they go? They go, they buy the stuff. They go home.
Right? No problem. we are the ones that have to go
through the intersection. So please,. think about the
people that live there, not 'just the cheap prices. We
can drive a little further. Are we really willing to
suffer these people lives?

MS. CELIA NISHIMUR.A: My name is Celia
Nishimura_ I live at 1634 Delta -- North Delta Street
in South San Gabriel.
Actually, I wanted to address some of the pro
Wal-Mart people that say they don't have anywhere to
shop. Well, you know, what happened to Ralph's? How
come you didn't shop at Ralph's? How come they had to
close down? So -- I mean., I just don't understand what
their point is. I mean, there's Big Saver. There's
Beaches. There is the 99 Ranch Market. How come you
can't shop there?
And then Mr. Ben.jamin -- I think that was his
name -- that said all the stuff about the -- you know,
why aren't we complaining about the diesel trucks going
on the 60 Freeway. We didn't write that E7R.
Rosemead -- or not Rosemead -- well, Rosemead got the
applied planning to write it. But Rosemead paid -- or
Wal-Mart paid for it. I mean, you know, it's not us.
That was all in the EIR. You should read it. Okay.
Another thing is according to the EIR, an
objective of the City of Rosemead general plan is to
reduce mobile source air pollutant emissions by reducing
the amount of vehicular travel. I'd be very interested
to know how bringing in an additional 6,050 cars per day
is accomplishing this particular goal of the City of
172
173
1
Rosemead's general plan -
2
Maybe the City of Rosemead's general plan
3
should be amended to read, "An objective of the City of
4
Rosemead general plan for the northern portion of
5
Rosemead only is to reduce mobile source air pollutant
6
emissions by reducing the amount of vehicular travel in
7
the north only, because the people in the southern part
8
of Rosemead don't seem to count.
9
The Rosemead Planning Commission made it very
10
clear that the southern part of Rosemead is not as
11
important as is the northern part of Rosemead, because
12
the fact that the health of the adjacent residents,
13
school children, and athletes will be severely
14
compromised. And that doesn't seem to be as important
15
to the Planning Commission as an additional $500,000 a
16
year that they think a Wal-Mart will bring. That's all
17
I have to say.

MAYOR CLARK: Norman Ogawa, 8123 Avinger, is he
20

21
Richard Baumann, 8305 Scenic Drive.
22
MR. RICHARD BAUMANN: It is hard to understand
23
why a city would burden a neighborhood with a project
24
such as the Wal-Mart store proposed on Walnut Grove,
25
Delta, and Rush. Common sense would tell you a retail

store does not belong on this property.
We have corporate offices, such as Edison,
Countrywide, and Panda. The logical usage for the land
is an expansion of more offices -- more office -type
buildings. Why drop a Wal-Mart in the middle cf this
area?
To the west 'alon_g Delta,- a two-lane street, we
have homes and condos. The neighborhood will be
burdened with additional traffic. Safety is a concern,
as Delta is the only way in and cut for 210 homes. If
traffic inhibits emergency equipment from entering the
area, it could be a life-threatening problem.
I also have another issue. It was amazing to
be at the Planning Commission hearing and listen to the
Wal-Mart representatives tell the Commissicn that
Wal-Mart would be a 24-hour store. Not one person on
the stage looked surprised. How long has the City known
this? Have we been deceived all along? Wouldn't that
information have an impact on the EIR?
Condition of Approval Number 53 states, "The
hours of operation shall be limited to 8:00 a_m.'to
10:00 p.m., except during Christmas season."
Number 54 states, "Parking lot lights shall be
dimmed two hours after closing." That statement should
certainly change the concerns of the L-A. County

MAYOR CLARK: Jerry Faustinos. Is Jerry still
here?
MR. JERRY FAUSTINOS: My name is
Jerry Faustinos. I live at 8415 East Yarrow. I am an
outsider, but I feel inside. Thank you for the
opportunity to say my few words. Everything is -- so
much has been said. I have a few concerns, and it's
kind of global.
And Number 1, it's -- first of all, 10, 12
years ago we had NAFTA, North Atlantic Treaty
,association -- whatever. And a lot of jobs, you see --
saw L.A_ just changed_ All of the manufacturing jobs
went. And I had arguments with my good liberal friends,
and they bought into it. To this day I don't know why.
And then we're having outsourcing of jobs where
somehow a company is allowed to aive jobs out to the
to other countries. And I'm Inot disparaging other
countries. I mean, we're a world community. But
they're allowed to give jobs out and they get tax

credit. Okay. so I'm seeing a decreasing concern for
the welfare of the American public, of the American
citizen Okay.
And now we have in our community -- I'd rather
be at home watching the Dodgers play, but here I am,
forced -- dragged out of my comfortable abode. And
anyway. And we're dealing with bringing in a bia store
that's going to be open 24 hours where the powers that
be did not move a finger challenging that when we
thought it was going to be. And then they weren't going
to have a gas station, and now they are going to have a
gas station. And it's going to change the quality of my
life there.
This is my house. This is where I live. This
is where I raise my kids. This is where I -- perhaps
I'll die. You know. This is it for me and for
practically everybody here. We don't want to move up.
Rosemead is a place you live at, and you shop elsewhere.
It's not where you come to shop. Rosemead has always
been that way. You know. Please think of that.
There's a value we put into the thing of
quality of life. It sounds real flowery, but hell, it's
valuable. It's something very valuable.
You have the hardest job in the world. Perhaps
I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. But you know what,

a hornet's nest has been stirred up as a result of this

abusive, harmful, toxic situation and Project for all of

Remember when you vote tonight, the decision
that you make doesn't just affect the City of Rosemead,
like the added poison in the air pollution from
vehicles, disasters, and lawsuits that the big box
Wal-Mart will create if allowed to come into Rosemead,
and doesn't just stay within the borders of Rosemead.
Disastrously repercussions if Wal-Mart is to be built
here, crosses the borders of Rosemead in all directions,
and will abuse many people in many communities along its
path in the future. Stop the abuse now. Regroup,
restudy, and relocate. Vote "No" on Wal-Mart.
Thank you for your consideration.

MR. TIM SMITH: Why are we even here wasting
our money? The regulations are clear. Actually, some
of the opponents said we should follow our elected
officials, we should follow our Commissions and our
reports. The reports say this is not a retail center.
The report should stand as they were developed by the
city planners. The city planners made these rules for
us to live here for the best Iliving environment, best
school environment, best commercial environment. These
were studies done years ago, and now they're changing
the rules.
There is no reason that we should have to
change the rules for Wal-Mart. They're not some poor

little company that needs your assistance. Thev don't
need it. They're one of the largest retailers in the
United States.
So why did they buy this piece of property?
They knew what the regulations were before it even
bought it. Why did they buy it? They bought it because
they thought they could come into little old Rosemead,
and the citizens wouldn't know or -they wouldn't do
anything. Well, we're doing something.
They thought they could buy out the city
officials. Well, I hope that you don't buy it out. I
hope that you listen to your residents. Every one of
these people who are staying here tonight represent at
least 1,000 voters. And we don't want Wal-Mart here.
This is a terrible location. If Wal-Mart had
gone to where you had already set up a commercial area
for them to be into, a retail area, we wouldn't be here
protesting this.

MR. TIM SMITH: we would welcome the retail

traffic signals to comply with whenever he wants to make

And now he's trying to get all this traffic
onto the people that live in the south. And I don't
understand his thinking. On Walnut Grove there's a --
on the east side -- on the west side_ of Walnut Grove
from the Countrywide --
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Mr. Nunez. I'm sorry. Mr.
Nunez, we can't hear you.
MR. JUAN NUNEZ: Can you hear me?
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: There you go. Now I can.
MR. JUAN NUNEZ: Okay. Okay_ Try it again.
Want to go from the Panda Inn -- from the Panda, from
the Countrywide to the University in the west. There
are three streets that feed onto La Medrina, Valley
Village on the west, and then Linda Lane. And there's a
-- that is not a through street that feeds from the
east. And on Delta, there are also seven streets that
feed onto Delta. And all that traffic is going to be
congested there.
And I don't know what kind of study you have
made. And as I said before, there's a Councilperson
here that wants to change the light synchronization on
Valley Boulevard onto Rosemead so he can make a left
turn and get home early before his wife calls back and

there's a jot of negative implications in our community
at this time with Wal-Mart. Supposedly, Wal-Mart
supports the first tee of the Whittier Narrows Golf
Course, which they don't. Been saying all night long in
the area of Rosemead, we have Sav-ons, Beaches, a new
Walgreens. We do not need Wal-Mart.
In my area where I live on Delta and Walnut
Grove, there's too much traffic_ I don't know who took
the measurements there, but there's no way a 16 -foot
truck could make a turn on Walnut Grove coming down the
hill_ It's impossible. And also on Delta. The City is
inconsistent -- and you're not taking the vehicle
traffic serious.
And it's a question for Mr_ Johnson. Today
Arnold Palmer turned 75 years old. He owns Whittier
Narrows Golf Course, if you know that. He owns Whittier
Narrows Golf Course. He turned 75 years old today.
According to Arnold Palmer, the City is inconsistent
with the proposed Wal-Mart. And we don't need it in
Rosemead.

work for the district, I work for my students and I work

Commission, you work for us. I live on Delta Street. I
moved here a year ago. I work for Los Angeles City
School District. I've been a teacher for 20 years. I
was laid off two years ago in San Diego, and I had to
relocate. I love living on Delta Street in the
Amberwood Condominium. And I love the peace and
serenity there. And I love the environment there.
And the people here who have stayed are from
Rosemead and from San Gabriel. And we have a diverse,
wonderful community in a residential neighborhood that
we want to see -flourish and continue for the sake of the
children at Rice Elementary and for the sake of all of
us_ And we are here because we are with you, City
Councilmembers. We are not opposed to one another. You
work for us, we work for you, because you represent us.
You protect us. You are supposed to take care of us, as
I take care of my students, like we're family. North
and south, no.
We had a demonstration on Saturday, and
U
Estelle -- she's, I think, in her 70s or 80s -- she has
a bad hip. And the lady who was holding her up is from
North Rosemead. It doesn't matter. It's about respect,
people who respect other people and can put themselves
in their shoes and have compassion and help one another.
That's what this neighborhood is all about. That's what

MAYOR CLARK: Paul Saito.
MR. PAUL SAITO: My name is Paul Saito. I live
at 8361 Sierra Bonita, South San Gabriel. And the
question I'd like to pose to the Mayor and City
Councilmembers is that the current project proponents
has requested a general plan amendment, a redesignation
of the project from office/light industry to
commercial.
I believe the reason for this request is
because the present zoning that the City calls the site,
C3M, is not acceptable. The .government state code,
Number 65860 states that there must be consistency
between the general plan and the zoning. In this case,
they changed the zoning, and now they're coming back and
asking the City Council to change the general plan.
This is highly irregular. It is against the state law,
Section 65860. And this is what is being asked by

Wal-Mart for you to do.
Another issue is that in the standards of
significance, the California Environmental Quality Act
guidelines accepted by the City of Rosemead indicates a
project will normally have a significant effect related
to land use if it could -- if it would conflict with the
general plan. In this case, it does. And if any one of
the five objects are.not in line, then it is a
significant cost for --
COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ: Time.
MR. PAUL SAITO: In conclusion, I would like to
say that in the EIR, page 3.22 under "City of Rosemead
Plans and Policies. The City of Rosemead General Plan
for most land use patterns that reduce daily automotive
trips."
Another paragraph starts out --
MAYOR CLARK: Okay. I'm sorry. Mr. Saito,
your time is up.
MR. PAUL SAITO: -- is to reduce the mobile
source air pollutant emissions by reducing the amount of
vehicular travel.

"Well, now the time is near."I Something -- "It's the
final hour." Time for that last vote.
And in reviewing my notes, it was 7/il/0l that
I made my first call to city hall to voice concern
regarding the .rumor that Wal-Mart was coming. "Retail
is not acceptable at this site," I said. "The traffic
on Delta, Rush, Walnut Grove will be too much." I was
informed by the city planners that Wal-Mart is only one
of seven groups interested in the property, and maybe I'
shouldn't get so excited vet.
On 8/9/01 -- my second call -- I was told
Wal-Mart sent people out to view the site in 8/8/01.
9/01 -- I don't have an exact date -- third
call -- told the executive team coming on the 25th for
another visit.
11/29/01, another call. Wal-Mart was still in
negotiation with Edison.
Then we got to -- then the next call I made was
6/11/02. Told by the city planner Edison and Wal-Mart
signed a purchase agreement Ywith a one-year time line
for City approval of the plain, but there could be an
extension. That was over two years ago. So yes, I
guess there was an extension.
At that time I told the city planners that the
intersection of Walnut Grove and San Gabriel Boulevard

would not be able to handle anv more traffic because of
the configuration of the corner and the current problems
there. I was told a traffic engineering firm would have
to look at the corner. And I said that no one has been
able to come up with a solution yet. At that point I
was told that it would be taken care of. Well, I guess
it can't be, since now, miraculously, it is no problem
and it is not significant. According to the EIR, this
intersection operates within acceptable limits. Ask
anyone who lives or drives to work in the area if that's
a true assessment.
9/30/03 was my next contact_ And I was
informed that the City Council approved preparation of
the EIR for the project_ As we all know, the EIR was
prepared by a company chosen by Wal-Mart and paid for by
Wal-Mart. Do you think they have our best interests at
heart? Do you think it could be biased?
I want to take just a minute to talk about air
quality. I know we've talked about it a lot, and I've
talked about it a lot already. As a registered nurse
and having two children with asthma, this has to be my
biggest concern. The draft EIR is quite clear. Pride
says we have no substance for our argument. Mike Lewis
says we have no substance for our argument.
It's in the EIR. it says, "The project -related

Okay -- "will have an adverse impact." This is
significant and unavoidable.
Oh, I guess we're just about -- I did want to
say that on July 27, 2004, City Council meeting approved
a commitment of 500,000 for use by housing development.
And that's for one little street in Rosemead. So
$500,000 doesn't really go very far.. So please vote
"No."

MAYOR CLARK: Nets Roselund.
MR. NELS ROSELUND: Mayor Clark and the City of
Rosemead Council, my name is Nels Roselund. I live at
8453 Yarrow Street in South San Gabriel.
I want to urge you io vote no on this
development. It's clearly a bad fit of putting Rosemead
into a location like this.
I want to express gratitude for the
participation in this process of the elected officials
that were here this evening; County Supervisor Gloria
Molina, State Senator Gloria Romero, Hilda Solis, Judy
Chu, and the Garvey School District representatives.
I live in South San Gabriel in the neighborhood

adjacent to the proposed development. And I understand
that the City -- Rosemead city government is responsible
to the people of the City of Rosemead. And that is
appropriate. However, this leaves the people of South
San Gabriel as outsiders. We may be outsiders to the
City of Rosemead, but we are inside the zone that will
be hurt by the proposed ,Wal-Mart project.
If you choose to approve the project this
evening, I implore you and request that you will
instruct the City Staff to work with the public
representatives and public servants to develop
mitigation to the negative impact on our neighborhood.
To illustrate the need of.South San Gabriel- for
representative assistance, .at the last meeting here at
Rosemead High School, the Planning Commission was shown
a map that you saw this evening also. It was intended
to illustrate that the proposed Wal-Mart site is not in
a residential neighborhood. You were shown the map this
evening. And as you recall., it showed just a small
segment of residential district directly to the west of
the north portion of the site.
South of there, we're in South San Gabriel.
And it's residential all the way to San Gabriel
Boulevard. That was not -- since it wasn't in the City
of Rosemead, it was not indicated on the map. We

need -- that's why we need representation. And I'm
pleased to -- pleased that the elected officials were
here tonight to help provide that representation.
I wrote a letter to the Committee on the draft
EIR commenting on the draft EI -R. The letter pointed out
problems of traffic on Delta that would be significantly
worse by additional traffic and -- generated by the
Wal-Mart. The response to my letter discounted the
significance of the problems I had pointed out.
Nevertheless, the response --
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: Time.
MR. NELS ROSELUND: -- said that the problems I
had pointed out would be referred to the city traffic
engineer_ The city traffic engineer has no jurisdiction
over traffic in the City of South San Gabriel.
Again, I appreciate the representation of the
elected officials that spoke tonight. Thank you.

though you don't have it, I want this entered on the

the only outsiders I see here are our panel from

supermarkets of Wal-Mart from Baldwin Park or whatever.
Where is our other Rosemead residents that are pro
Wal-Mart? It's all a dog -and -pony show, folks. It's
nothing but a dog -and -pony show.
I am, frankly, quite embarrassed., And I'm not
talking about our councilmembers. I've got undue
respect for you. We've worked together on youth
projects for many years.
But folks, this whole project is wrong. This
is not the location -- never mind what I personally feel
about Wal-Mart, which.I'll leave that out_ But the
location of this supposed supercenter is way off the
charts, folks. I mean, my God.
Quality of life. You've got elderly. You've
got the young. You've got children across the street.
You've got the kids playing football in the heat of
summer at Jess Gonzales fielis sucking in fumes_ Okay.
Bottom line, we tall about jobs. Well, we're
going to create 300 jobs. Mltter of fact, you're not
going to create 300 jobs. What you're going to do is
you're going to wind tradingi jobs.. You're going to get
rid of decent paying jobs to residents of the city that
have had businesses that have invested in this

MR. MICHAEL DRANGE: Okay. My .name is
Michael Drange, and I reside at 8765 East Ralph Street.
And that's in North Rosemead.I am also a teacher in
the Garvey School District, which is in South Rosemead_
I am opposed to the Wal-Mart to be placed in
this particular location. You can go through in your
mind what I would say about traffic, what I would say
about pollution, what I would say about Wal-Mart in
general, since I'm opposed.
So I just want to say -- I want to give you two
observations that I've made. The first happened last
Saturday. On Saturday, the people that are opposed to
the Wal-Mart, we were out demonstrating at various
locations throughout the city. So I spent the first
hour, from 10:00 to 11:00, at the corner of Rosemead
Boulevard and Valley Boulevard. And I stood out there
with my sign and I walked up and down, you know, trying
to let people know how we felt_
And then I moved to another busy location,
which was San Gabriel Boulevard and Garvey. And I stood
there for an hour and talked to people and -- you know,
letting them know what we thought.
And then the third location was the actual
site, and we went there last. And the thing that struck
me on that particular day was when I got out of my van

and I shut the door, how quiet it Was. I had scent two
hours at very busy intersections and I had become
desensitized to the whole sound because I had been
standing there so long. And I Co- out of my car and it
was silence. And that -- it really struck me that this
really is a residential area. This is a place that once
you put a Wal-Mart in there or you put anything of that
type, that absence of noise will be gone forever.
The second observation I made -- which I didn't
even think about as I was making it in this setting -- I
took a trip this summer. My family and I drove from
Washington D.C_ back to Rosemead, sort of a circuitous
route. And I counted as I was sitting here, I was in 11
cities that we went to. And in those 11 cities, eight
cities had Wal -Marts. And the surprising part to me was
three cities had abandoned Wal -Marts. And in the area
where the Wal-Mart had been abandoned, it was like a
i
ghost town. There was nothing. You could see that
there were other business that had been built up in the
area, and they were all closed down, too.
And I didn't really even think about it at the
time. But now, sitting here listening to people talk
about dark stores and all that, there's not much
competition for Wal-Mart out there- There were -- eight
cities had a Wal-Mart. That's the only place I could go

and buy groceries, because we were camping most the
time. And three of the cities, the Wal-Mart had come in
and already left.
Thank you.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. WILLIAM CHENG: William Cheng is available
for speaking. I'm sorry. You called my name earlier
and I don't think you -- I heard you. My name is
William Cheng and I'm available to speak.
MAYOR CLARK: Why don't you go ahead then.
MR. WILLIAM CHENG: Right now.
Hi. My name is William Cheng. I live on
464 Ivar Avenue. Yeah, you guys are laughing. I
don't live there. Okay.
Obviously, you guys have noticed me. I came in
with -- I don't know --'two different changes of
clothes. So obviously -- I don't keep my clothes in my
car. And that would indicate that I live here. So
don't laugh.
I'd like to congratulate all of you on both
sides for attending this meeting. It shows that you
have dedication and concerns towards your community. Sc
regardless of which side you're on, I congratulate you.
But what I do not congratulate is the
disrespect that's shown on both sides. All of you are

booing and -- well, not all o`f you. Some of you are
booing and showing disrespecttowards your fellow
residents.
Now, I am for Wal-Mart. And if you boo me at
all tonight, that would show that you are all
simple-minded monkeys who have single -digit IQs. Thank
you_ Thank you.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. WILLIAM CHENG: Okay. Whatever. May I
continue my speech.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. WILLIAM CHENG: No one is pointing a gun
towards anyone's head telling them that they have to
work for Wal-Mart. If they think that Wal-Mart is a
better job, then they would obviously leave their
current job and go to Wal-Mart. So that's, I don't
know, a no-brainer, I guess.
And $600,000 -- all of you who are complaining,
"Oh, well our school's bathroi ms aren't getting fixed.
We don't have enough school supplies," well, $600,000 is
a lot for Rosemead High School or other schools in this
area.
And an additional $0,000 for our schools is
also is a lot of money. Textbooks, rest rooms, or
anything else. Maybe a squeaky chair that you would

MR. WILLIAM CHENG: There will also be an

of you are -- some of you are complaining that the
pollution will cause asthma or other diseases related to
the exhaust. Unless you actually stick your mouth. --
unless you actually stick your mouth into the exhaust
pipe and inhale on a daily basis, then I don't think you

I do want to -- whether you vote "yes" or "no,"
I want to thank Mayor Clark, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Vasquez,
and Mr. Alarcon for listening to us.
I did not include Mr. Imperial for the reason
that this evening I've been observing all of you up
there. And every time that there has been someone
opposed to Wal-Mart speaking, he has not had the common
decency to pay attention or listen to what any of us
were saying.

record as being opposed to this project in a residential
area where the only way anybody can get to it is to
drive by people's homes. There is no other way.to get
there. And I just want to stand firm that I am opposed
to it.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: David Stewart.
MR. DAVID STEWART: Yeah. I'm David Stewart,
8374 Rush_ I'm a long-time resident of Rosemead. I
started working here in 1975, and I've lived here since
1978. And you know, the City has been a pretty good
steward of that area down under all this controversy
right now. Because I moved here, I checked out the
planning. I went to city Hall and said, "Hev, you know,
what's this supposed to be down here?" They.talked
about it's probably going to be businesses, the C3 zone.
Probably small commercial.
And I believe you t�ink that's a really, really
a bad thing. But now with t!e new Wal-Mart, the City is
essentially warping their own plans and trving to put a
bia store like this on a C3 zone. I.think somebody

talked about that, how that's -- really Way to go about
doing this.
The area of the traffic. Mr. Alarcon, I really
kind of perked up when you were talking earlier and
asking the question about the traffic. One of the real
concerns I have -- and I think deep down in the gut of
city hall, I think they know that all these studies and
all this other stuff are probably not quite true. And I
agree with you. What's going to happen if all this is
wrong, and down the road it's all screwed up and we've
got gridlock with a Wal-Mart sitting in the south part
of town? How is everybody so sure these traffic things
are correct?
The Planning Commissioner was mentioning he
hadn't seen the letters from the County of L.A. about
the traffic studies and all that. I've seen them. We
had to go pry them out of.city hall, but I've seen them.
I think it's really, really interesting that the
Planning Commission claims they haven't seen that stuff.
One other thing I want to talk about real quick
is the statement of overriding consideration really
bothers me. There are things in the EIR that says there
are substantial impacts that can't be mitigated: air
quality, noise, traffic. That says you folk now have to
come up and say there's overriding considerations that

are going to say, "Oh, we don't need to worry about any
of that stuff."
I've been going to lot of City Council
meetings since this started. III one meetinc there was a
statement made by one of you up there that said,
"Nothing is more important than the safety and health of
the men, women, and children in our community." Now, if
you're going to vote an overriding consideration on this
particular thing and saying, okay, all that air
pollution and all that -- dumping all those poisons into
my home, the school next door, and the surrounding area
is something that is going to endanger my health and
safety, I don't know how you guys, in good conscience,
can say that, "Yeah, but let's go ahead and do this,"
because,.really, you need to walk your talk.
If you really believe -- and you all were
r
shaking your heads up and down when this statement was
made -- that the -- the safetyand'health of the men,
women, and children in this community is overriding,
then I don't see how you can vote for this overriding
consideration.
Let me close -- real quick in closing. The big
banner in the city hall kind of makes me proud to see.
It says, "Rosemead believes in America." What I'm
afraid is going to happen here if you guys -- if You

vote for this, 'I think what the new statement is going
to be is "Rosemead believes in Wal-Mart." And quite
frankly, I think that's going to start a civil war in
this city that's going to split this city right down -the
middle. It's going to be north, south, neighbor against
neighbor.
I'd much rather see us work together on
something to put on that site down there that isn't
going to be the business that this is going to be, and
something that both north and south and everybody can
live with. Thank you.
MAYOR CLARK: Larry Sevington.
MR. BEVINGTON: One thing about being the
spokesperson for the opposition to what the City wants
to do is at the Planning Commission meeting, you get a
deputy sheriff right in your face telling you, "You
can't do what everybody else is doing." And you come to
the City Council meeting and get the mayor -- who has no
reason to know my voice or what I said when it comes up
for a number of other people saying the same thing --
pick me out. I'm proud of the opposition, because it
signifies to me that I must be putting the heat on
somebody.
I'm going to make a couple of comments on
things that were said earlier. They kind of sloughed

over the fact that there is a little disagreement with
the Caltrans on the effect on the two ramps.at
San Gabriel Boulevard and at Paramount. This is a
disagreement -- the consultants here have just insulted
the Caltrans, as it insulted most of the elected
officials around here, telling them that "We are not
going to do the studies at your intersections. We don't
care.what your ramps look like, the traffic on them.
They're outside of our own self-selected limits to our
studies, and we're not going to do the studies you're
requesting." I have all the letters. I talked to
Caltrans. That's exactly what they've been told by your
Staff -- or I'll say by your consultants, because I
don't think Staff has control of this project at all
anymore.
The other thing is the disagreement that came
up with the Department of Transportation for the county_
The same thing happens here. They have decided that
they're going to use what every other jurisdiction
considers is inadequate traffic LOS standards. They
told the County that "We're not going to do it to your
standards_ We don't care."
Now, what I really want to talk about is I've
given to someone to distribute to you -- and I think
what I really want to do and I'm going to wind it up --

agreement. And when it's over with, we got to wind this
thing up. So take your damn sign down now.

MR. BEVINGTON: I also want to say that fool
that stood up and called us a bunch of monkeys, if this
Council had any real control over the situation, the
Mayor would have made him out of control and out of
order right immediately. Ch, no. He's on the favor --
I'm going to ask you six questions. You can --
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Point of order, Madam
Mayor.
Is this meeting over or are there others that
want to speak?
MAYOR.CLARK:_ There are many others.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR:' Then Mr. Bevington is out
of order. He can.come and speak after the other people
get to speak. I don't mind you speaking, Mr. Sevington.
But if you're speaking for the group, now is not the
time to carry it on. Thank you.

MAYOR CLARK: Ken Pike.
MR. KEN PIKE: Are you ready? I'm Ken Pike
from Rosemead. And I have been in Rosemead since the
inception of our incorporation from the embryo stage,
you might say. When we started in with the first
incorporation section, we had 18,000 people. I have
seen it grow. And I believe they said 55,000 now. So
I've been here quite a while.
I was on all of the commissions as we came up,
and served on the Council. So I can appreciate the work
that the Council and Staff has done here. The people.
that don't have any idea how°much work you do.
I was really pleased with the fact that our
state representatives and one thing and another couldn't
understand why you didn't have any questions. And I
was pleased with the fact that vou've done so much study
that you understood what your job was and you didn't

need to ask questions tonight. You were asked a lot of
questions by people that didn't know what you have been
studying. And I can appreciate it.
Now, it was told -- touched on that Wal-Mart is
the largest company in the United States. And it didn't
get that way accidentally. It started as one store and
it grew. And the reason it grew is that people liked
what they were providing or they wouldn't have gone.
And if they're not happy, they're not going to go
there.
When we first started here in Rosemead, the
people in South San Gabriel were definitely invited to
join our city. They said no, they didn't want any part
of it. They were agriculture and they wanted to remain
agriculture. And they have hunted quail and pheasant
and duck down there where all of this development has
happened. When they wanted to put in the condominiums
there on Rush Street, they were against that, too,
because that was going to change and put traffic there.
Every time we had a change presented, they were afraid.
But yet they come up here and brag about what a
wonderful community we've managed to build down there.
And they want no change. But every piece of property in
Los Angeles County and the State of California has had
the zones changed. We didn't used to have anything but
211

i

ranch land and agricultural land. And they've ail --

MS. JEAN DE COCKER: Madam Mayor,
8
Councilmembers, my name is Jean De Cocker, and I've
9
lived at the corner of Walnut Grove and Landis View Lane
10
for 46 years. I have seen much of the change that
11
Mr. Pike is talking about.
12
But my main thing tonight is two or three
13
items. one, I feel terribly betrayed by the Planning
14
Commission and the Council because we people that live
15
in that area believed in the zoning. We believed that
16
all of that ground at the bottom of the hill would
17
remain in the zoning area, such as the commercial
18
business, and not in a sales -type of business. We felt
19
that that was a very big asset to not only our
20
community -- our residential community, but to the City
21
of Rosemead. And we felt that we were very proud
22
whenever we saw that the Edison Company was located in
23
our city.
24
The one thing that has not been talked about
25
tonight is Don Bosco's new stadium and the amount of

traffic that will Qu -1 into that area that We're talking
about at San Gabriel Boulevard, Walnut Grove, and Delta,
and San Gabriel Boulevard. So -that will be a'big
factor in the Friday night traffic plan.
The other is I'm very concerned that Wal-Mart
has a ten-year plan to develop that land, because they
can do -- make many, many changes. Most of us, -like one
of the gentlemen before, said by then we'll all be gone
or .our interests will change. And Wal-Mart will come to
the Council and do all kinds of interesting things in
order to make that plan change and make it go forth.
One of the people said that the land is --
people own their land and they can do with it what they
want., But when Edison made the deal with Wal-Mart,
Wal-Mart knew ;-that that was not a commercial zone for a
store. So I don't feel sad for -Wal-Mart in the fact
that they have spent so much money trying to get this to
pass.
And I do feel that we have really been violated
in the south end of the city, and I'm very disappointed.
And I hope that you will take my speech into
consideration. Thank you.

Mascarenas at 3403 North Delta. Now, I've been hearing
all the people that live near where it's going to be
built. I feel sorry for them. Now, I live near the 10.
Nobody has mentioned the 10 Freeway. Now, we've got
neighbors, folks, and everybody says we're -- 7 percent
in Rosemead.
Does that mean 100 percent you're going to hire
everybody in Rosemead? ,I don't think so, because
anybody that's qualified is going to be hired; right?
So let's tell them about our neighbors.
Are we going to be the only Rosemead people
shopping at Wal-Mart? I don't think so. Okay. East
L.A. is our neighborhood. They're going to be shopping
E1 Monte, South E1 Monte, Montebello, Alhambra, Monterey
Park. Okay. They're going to be coming like.-- because
we're going to be the closest. So let's see all of you
trying to get on the 10.
I live right next to the 10_ And right now
it's bad. Christmas is just around the corner. So you
want to see us trying to get on Walnut Grove? Right now
it's easy. It's not going tIo be easy to get to the
mall. The mall is going to 'lose money, and you're going
to be crying because we lostiour mall because of
Wal-Mart. It took us a long time to get that.
And it's right what they said about Ralph's.

MS. PATRICIA MASCARENAS: And now 'walnut Grove.
Come on. They're going to go down there, drive down
there. These poor people that live there, they're not
going to be able to get out of their driveway. Think
about it.
Oh, yeah. You're saying we're going to have a
place to shop. How long is it going.to get for you guys
that lives north of the 10 to get down there? It's
going to take you half an hour to get down there,
especially in Christmas season. And I'm not kidding
you. Traffic is getting bad because we're right in the
middle two freeways. You guys are not thinking.
Oh, yeah. They're telling you we're going to
have the greatest store. Yeah, we're going to have the
greatest store, and that's all you're going to have.
I'm guaranteeing you that.
And then, like they say, Wal-Mart is going to
own Rosemead_ They're going to tell us what to do, when
to shop. I'm not kidding you. That's the truth. Think
about it_ Valley has nothing. San Gabriel Valley --
have nothing. Duarte doesn't have nothing. That's
going to be the only shopping area for us. And you're

saying, "Oh, yeah. I'm not going to go anywhere, shop
anywhere else." Yes, we all',do. We all go beyond
somewhere else, 'cause we get tired of the store. We
do. You watch.
The outsiders are going to come and shop.
Rosemead is not going to shop. You're only going to get
a handful of shopping there. Just wait. We'll give it
a chance if it is built. But you're going to see a lot
of crimes, .and the area is going to be very filthy, just
like the boulevards are.
So thank you.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: Agustin Garcia, was he here?
MR_ AGUSTIN GARCIA: I'm here.
MAYOR CLARK: I'm sorry.
MR. AGUSTIN GARCIA: I'm with the Wal-Mart
people, but I'm against it. I just want to say I live
at 3134 Ivar Avenue; it's north of Garvey. It's between
the Rosemead Boulevard and Walnut Grove. And I'm going
to tell you, there is a few signal lights from Rosemead
all the way to Walnut Grove. The first one is like
about 50 feet from Rosemead Boulevard. That's a light.
Another light they just put up in the very, very
place -- very, very nice place for senior citizens, who
we're supposed to be proud of that place where we have a

place for our older citizens that have worked hard for
this city and for.this country. Then there is another
light riaht there, about another 60 feet from the
other. Another 50 feet, there is another light. I
don't know how you guys make so many lights. But there
is another light. Then Muscatel, another light. It's
about maybe 150, 200 feet. And then it comes Walnut
Grove.
Let me tell you this. I live.in north of
Garvey, on that area. That's the only way people from
the east is going to get out of that shopping center, if
you let it happen.
And let me tell you this. When you try to
drive that in the afternoon from the west to the east on
Garvey Boulevard, on that intersection from Walnut Grove
to Rosemead Boulevard, sometimes it's got so jammed that
it's all the way to Walnut Grove. What is going to
happen when that store gets there? Think about it.
And it says -- the study, I don't want to make
fun of you guys, but let me tell you, you guys said
there is no traffic. It's unavoidable, this and that_
How about police costs? Let's just -- I was just
looking around, and.! count about -- almost 15 police
officers are here -- sheriffs. It tells me that they're
going to spend only $40,000 per year_ But I'm just

doing this not for my brother, my sister. I'm doing it
because I have children that I take to school. ,From
Ivar, I have to go to Garvey. I take them to Walnut
Grove and to Fern, where they go to Sanchez School and
Temple Intermediate. There is a few schools that you
don't take into consideration. Just based on the study,
six children on Rice School would get affected. There
is about 1500 students that's going to get affected.
I' think you guys need to take more time. You
guys are working really hard. Work a little bit harder
and make it work for the city. Thank you very much.

up and speak in this sort of forum. This is very much
out of my comfort zone. But I feel a compelling need to
speak on this subject.
Let me start by saying I've lived in the
community for over 15 years; twelve of those years in
Rosemead. I'm very much opposed to the proposed
building of Wal-Mart at the corner of Walnut Grove and
Rush.
I understand the Planning Commission has just
approved a plan to build a Super Wal-Mart in the middle
of our lovely neighborhood. I live only a quarter mile
from the proposed site. I understand the City of
Rosemead wants to bring in Wal-Mart because there's a
chance of tax revenue and -- which the City needs. But
at what expense are you willing to pay for this little
bit of revenue?
I have read about what Wal-Mart has done to
communities similar to ours. Have you read about it?
I've been to other council meetings and know
that the members of the community have given you the
facts and statistical data about how Wal-Mart causes
blight, destroys communities, brings crime, traffic and
pollution into the surrounding communities. All of
these things just for a little bit of tax revenue. Is
it worth it?

Is it worth risking the lives of the residents
of our community? My children walk to their bus stop
on Landis View and Walnut Grove each school day morning.
The intersection in itself is already possibly the most
dangerous intersection in Rosemead. There are so many
accidents at that intersection, if people are familiar
with that area. My children use that intersection every
morning. With the influx of a thousand plus new autos
to Wal-Mart, my children will be at a higher risk of
being struck by a car.
The school bus also stops at Delta and Scenic.
What kind of traffic hazards can we anticipate there
when the.Wal-Mart shopper, looking for a shortcut to the
store parking lot with thousands of new cars per day,
what would happen to the students of Don Bosco who
already flood the streets walking and driving in that
area. Students and parents also cross the busy
intersection of San Gabriel Boulevard and Hill to get to
Portraro Heights Elementary School. All of these
intersections and more will be heavily impacted by the
thousand plus daily additional cars traveling to
Wal-Mart.
With the revenue from Wal-Mart, we're taking
business away from the surrounding area. The revenue
that Wal-Mart expects to bring is about what is

generated by small businesses in Rosemead currently.
There is documented evidence that Wal -Mare takes away
from the small businesses in the area.
I just want to make a note that some of the
shoppers will be coming from Monterey Park and Alhambra.
They'll probably take the street call Graves. Graves
happens to dead end right in front of Rice Elementary
School. They'll have to stop at Graves, take a right
turn, and go right into Wal-Mart.
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: Time_
MS. LORI OKAMOTO: In closing, I respectfully
submit to you that the very fabric of our community
rests in your vote. Please vote to keep Wal-Mart out of
our lovely neighborhood. Thank you.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: Fred Herrera.
MR. FRED HERRERA: Thank you, Mayor. And T
thank the Councilmembers for giving us a chance to talk
to you. My name is Fred Herrera, a 24 -year resident of
Rosemead. And I'm really lling forward to being able
to shop at Wal-Mart. And I hope I can shop there 24
hours a day. I hope there's a gas station there when I
get there.
When I first came in I thought -- I was really
surprised that so many politicians were here. And I was

going to comment everybody for getting here, then I
realized I saw the cameras. And typical for a
politician; they were here lona enough to get their face
on camera and play to the crowd. They said they were
opposed to the project. As soon as the cameras were
gone, so were they.
And when it comes time to pay the bills for the
city services that the.residents of this community are
dependent upon, when it comes .time to pay those bills,
those politicians will be as absent then as they are
now. They are not going to put up the money that we
need to pay for the lifeguard for the senior citizen
center that you talked of, for the police, for the fire
department, for the emergency medical people. They will
be invisible when it comes time to pay the bill.
Hopefully, Wal-Mart will help lighten that load for
you.
(Audience interruption_)
MR_ FRED HERRERA: You know, they're talking
about putting a retail place in the neighborhood, it's
going to ruin the neighborhood. It shouldn't be done,
that it violates code. Every project that's ever been
proposed for that piece of land has been opposed. And
they haven't all been retail. They haven't all been
dependent on foreign products. They've haven't all
223
i paid their workers starvation wages, as they've
2 supposedly done. They've been good companies that this
3 organization opposes.
dThe bottom line of all their smoke screen and
5 all their claims is NIMBY, "Not in my backyard." But
6 they won't say it. Because if they say it, they won't
7 have the emotional impact. The bottom line is they just
8 don't want a Wal-Mart by them.
9 It's the nature of a community of a city to
10 progress, and progress brings, about change. And the
11 city is changing. The country is changing. And all of
12 us have to pay a price to remain living in the city and
13 this community. And for once they're going to have to
14 -- their ivory tower is going to be a little shaken
15 because they're going to have to come to the 20th
16 Century and realize that there is other businesses that
17 have a right to do business `in this city.
18 They keep saying listen to the community.
19 Listen to your community. This is not your community.
20 There are 55,000 residents df Rosemead that went to bed
21 tonight confident that you wIould make a decision in
22 their best interest. Confident that you will vote to
23 continue supporting the ser 1. they have come to
24 depend upon. And I have faith that you will do that and
25 support this project.

I circulated a petition around. I got 80
percent support or. it. Most of the residents of
Rosemead want this Wal-Mart. And --
(Audience interruption.)
MR. FEED HERRERA: -- not just because of the
jobs and the taxes. Because they like shopping at
Wal-Mart. They've got a right to do it.
I talked to workers of Wal-Mart. They like
working at Wal-Mart. They're not all starving. .
And you know, 55,000 Rosemead residents want
this Wal-Mart. The vast majority of us do. Not to
mention the over 4,000 cars a day -- who even the
opposition admits will show up. And they're saying by
showing up there that we want Wal-Mart. And we
appreciate that you're going to vot to support that
project.
MR. WALLIN: Time.
MR. FRED HERRERA: Thank you.

COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: Madam Mayor, I'd like to

MS. MONITA TAM: Ma'am, I gave my card to a
City Staff.
MAYOR CLARK: I'm just saying I don't have it
in front of me. And in the interest of time, if you
could give your name and address and speak.
MS. MONITA TAM: Great. Thank you. My name is
Monita Tam. I live on 8465 Village Lane in the condo
community there_ And in my two or three years I've been
there -- the reason I chose that community is that it's
quiet. And we even have common law that says even dogs
barking is going to have to be fined. And that kind of
shows you the kind of neighborhood that we want to be
living in.
And just to say, in`,regards to the air
pollution, when people say, yeah, you have to really
R
suck in the air from the exhaust in order to get the
effect, no, you don't. it's like secondhand smoke.
When you go into a restaurant where it says smoking,
nonsmoking, and they say the nonsmokers are sitting in
the same room and just at a iifferent table, they're not
going to inhale that secondhand smoke? No. It's going
to be there. And you need to seriously consider that.

activity -- and most people now know those are cardio
activities -- yes, they will increase their breathing,
and they'll breathe in more poison. And I know we're
here late tonight. And I'm here because I fear. And I
have the right to fear, because this is not going to be
my only night that I will be losing sleep if this
project goes through. I'll be losing sleep every single
night due to the noise, pollution and everything else
that's going to be going on.
(Audience interruption.)
MS. MONITA TAM: And I definitely hope that you
will consider that.
And I do live in the middle of Rosemead. I
don't care north or south. And I really, truly believe
that we should be nice to each other. I really do not
like that comment about monkey. I'm a valedictorian and
I get straight As from school_ Please. I'm
intelligent. My mother never went to school and she
knows in common sense that it is dangerous for Wal-Mart
to be in that location because of the school children
that's going to be around. With that many car trips,
the rate of having an accident is going to increase
proportionately. So also please consider that in your
decision-making tonight.
And if you need to be late, please do so so

truly concerned about them and about this possibility of
Wal-Mart entering into our community.
Someone earlier mentioned that are we really
here for something good or are we just wasting our time.
And all I would say to the Councilmembers is that it
would be a travesty if you are not open -- if your minds
are already closed to the good people of Rosemead who
have spoken to you tonight.
And I plead to you not to sell your souls to
the Devil.
(Audience interruption_)
FATHER MIKE NEISON: I plead with you not to
sell your souls to the almighty buck. There are more
important things than dollars. And people are more
important.
We all know from reading that the middle name
for Wal-Mart is exploitation. They exploit those who
lose their jobs because manufacturing goes abroad. And
when they go abroad, they exploit the people of these
countries, such as Honduras, China, by treating them as
slaves and paying them as slaves. And the treatment of
the workers in these places is truly despicable. And it
just proves that Wal-Mart is a corporation without a
soul and without a conscience_

FATHER MIKE NETSOJ The exploitation of
Wal-Mart of our people does not stop abroad. The
treatment of the workers and the way they will
eventually treat our city is just an expression of a
corporation that doesn't really care about people.
Some people say that they have their rights,
but they have no right to destroy our city. P_ wonderful
orator named Edmond Burke once said that all that is
necessary.. 'for the triumph of evil is that the good do
nothing. The good have been here to speak to you
tonight. I hope that you will show that you have a
conscience and really respond to all these wonderful
people who have spoken here tonight.

MR. ALEJANDRO GANDAURA: Yes. Thank you. I'd
like to say I do like the changes and appreciate a lot
of the changes that Wal-Mart seems to be doing to the
store. It's not -as ugly as I've seen most of the stores
look_ It's probably the best looking one I've ever
seen, although it could use a lot more green, as was
said before.
But I want everybody here to just rest, take
your minds at ease. I have figured it all out tonight.
And if they do everything I tell them to, we'll all
leave and be happy. Wouldn't that be great if.that
could really happen? Thank you so much.

Wal-Mart. I don't have anvthing against the store. I
don't think it's the evil empire, ne=cessarily. I don't
know that much about it, or evil empires, quite
frankly. But I probably wi-11 shop there. You might
find me there. I'll be a little embarrassed, maybe,
seeing some of you there. But I might -- I might show
myself there.
But there is what we're talking about. People
here don't necessarily hate Wal-Mart so much. Some -
people -- I think I've seen a few people there. It's
where you want to put it. That's all. It would
probably -- there are some serious s=hoppers here,
evidently -- I found out tonight --.who would love to
shop there right now. And their neighborhoods would
probably work out great. And I think everybody here
would go for it. And we'd love to ga to where the
shopaholics want to go_ That could -work.
How about just your corporate office there?
That would be a nice place to have it there_" We don't
oppose that.

strange, though -- I'm wondering -- some of the things
I've heard about Wal-Mart. And that is aren't you guys
holding hands with a company that might sue you if you
vote "No"? Isn't that kind of a little weird? That's a
little odd. I think that they've done that. I hope
that doesn't happen. Well, I don't think it will
because I know you're going to vote for it.
And a lot of people here think they can change
your mind, but I don't think so. I've seen _you guys in
action before. I don't think changing your mind is
anything that's going to happen tonight, tomorrow, or
another night_
Actually, I do think the bad part of it really
is -- I have just kind of come here to see you with this
company_ And not all of you -- I don't know that you're
going to vote "Yes." But it'll be really interesting to
just watch some of you bend over for a big corporation.
And it doesn't have.to be Wal-Mart. It could be
anybody. And that's a shame. Thank you.

MAYOR CLARK: JOHN BRADY.
MR. JOHN BRADY: John Brady, 8337 East Village

And as a
result of
getting the other elected

10
there
would
not be a
lot of
vehemence
coming
from the
11
City
Council
towards
those
people who
all of
us voted
12 for here, because you're going to need their support if
13 you decide to vote to go put Rosemead in here, because
14 they have the power to keep signs from even pointing
15 towards the Rosemead Wal-Mart. And if no one knows it's

I would

There are a number of people here -- actually,
I'm excited to be living in Rosemead. Things are going
to be changing very quickly here. There's going to be
an election coming up next March -- actually, it's going
to be before then. Because in my hands right now, I
have signed petitions to recall every ,single member of
the City Council. I will serve them on you tomorrow.
You will get them. You cannot stop it. We will be
having an election, folks.
(Audience interruption.)
MR. JOHN BRADY: Now, the people who will be
served will be the people who don't do the right thing.
The power is in the people's hands. It is not
in Wal -Mart's anymore_ We're going to find out how many
people vote in Rosemead. There may be 55,000 people
here, but there are only 16,000 registered voters. All
we need is 3200 voters sign to force this City Council
to have a recall election, all five of you.
Now, whether your name gets delivered to the
city clerk is up to you. Go ahead and smile,
Mr. Imperial. Your name is right on the top of.the
list.
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: Come get me.

MS. CHRISTINE CALDERON: Yes. My name is
Christine Calderon. I've been a resident of Rosemead
for the last 27 years. And I also work in Rosemead for
the Garvey School District.
And my class is down in the field at
Rice School. So when my kids go outside, they're right
there kitty-corner to where the proposed Wal-Mart will.
be. My concerning is not only for my students, but also
the students of the upper grades. Many children have to
cross San Gabriel Boulevard. So I know the traffic is
bad now, and it's going to be worse with the proposed
Wal-Mart. I feel that many cars are going to take short
cuts down on Klingerman going towards Wal-Mart, and
they're going to be right in front of the school, which
will create a hazard for the children.
As it is now, last past year, we had to have

lockdowns at our school. And we also had to have --
posters were sent out to the parents with pictures of
suspicious people that were around preying on the
children there. My concern now is for the people who is
coming out from the other communities. Our Wal-Mart.
will be the one closest to the L.A. City. I have
nothing against the people who live in L.A. City. I
just have against the ones who are violent. There is a
lot of violence in L.A. And our Rosemead will be the
closest one to L.A. City. So my concern is for the
safety. And not for just the children, but for all the
residents there.
I don't feel it's worth it. There's just too
much controversy. I don't feel it's right for,our city
to be divided. We're divided enough already with the
freeway. And now we're going to be divided because of a
store. I think people and where they live is more
important. I feel for the people who live in that area.
I see how quiet it is, how peaceful it is. I take my
children up to the top. We look out, and it's a
beautiful scene to see greenery and quiet, because you
won't see it anywhere else in Rosemead. So I think
that's really something that your children have to look
forward to.
I think it's a bad street to have it on. Put

your Wal-Mart on San Gabriel Boulevard. Put it on
Rosemead Boulevard, Vallev Boulevard. But I think
that's a bad place to have it.
And then especially a store with such a
negative reputation. I th_nk we're going to have to
change that sign that says "City with pride" if we're
going to have a Wal-Mart who has such a bad reputation.
Thank you.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK.: Orlando Rios.
MR. ORLANDO RIOS: I know it's late and I know
a lot of us would prefer to be at home or in bed, but
this merits all of our attention.. I'll put it to you.
and to everybody else quite simply, and as the good
folks of Wal-Mart over here and their employees from
different cities not affiliated with Rosemead, it
doesn't take a genius to see that Wal-Mart affords many
opportunities. You could faill into that trap quite
easily if you don't think hard enough. But being a
student educator and having done research papers myself,
you can see through this li.e a pane of glass.
It's a cheap illusirIon to believe that they will
bring prosperity to the city ; to believe that these jobs
will actually mean some of these people -- to take them
away from jobs they already have. Give them a little

token, piece of hope, and then just say, "Okay. You
know, this is what you're getting." You won't be able
to get insurance. You won't be able to do all the
things you would like. And you're helping to bring down
the rest cf the social construct of this community.
Now, I do hold -- some things to keep in mind.
One, I do have a wife at home. My neighbors and, of
course, being a student teacher, I also have a concern
for the kids across the way,at the school. It's not
always during construction, but also because of the
traffic involved. Not only for crossing the street, but
because of all the particle matter that comes from the
cars that pass by.
Now, I have to say that the Planning
Commission -- or the report is highly suspect, not only
because it's sponsored by Wal-Mart, because of the fact
that from their data -- which seems erroneous at best --
has never taken 30 seconds, yet alone 30 minutes, yet
alone 30 days on Rush or Delta or any of the street
within that location which I've resided for nine years.
If you have spent any time out there, you will realize
quite quickly that there is not enough space, not enough
room, and there will be way too much traffic for
anybody's safety, children or otherwise_
I ask you -- I beg you -- I implore you, City

Councilmembers, to look through the cheap veneer that
Wal-Mart has presented before you and go past it to see
it's seediness to realize the virus that it is. And the
sad fact is that the employees who know themselves of
their own cheap tactics.
I know it's late, and we'll all go home soon.
But please see through this and vote "No" on this
despicable.corporation that creeps inside our community
and wishes to wraps its tentacles and squeeze the life
out.of us. Thank vou.

MR. JOSE HERNANDEZ: Hello_ I'm here to --
Jose Hernandez.
MAYOR CLARK: It's your turn.
MR. JOSE HERNANDEZ: Okay. I'm opposed to this
project because I have three kids that go to Rice School
right now, and they're going to -- my eldest one, he's
nine, that goes there, he has asthma. And he's going to
be suite affected with—it.
Another thing is the traffic. That people are
going to want to take short cuts through there. I live
on Charlotte, and I just can't see all of this traffic
going through there. I know thev're going to be rushing
through there. I've seen car chases go through there_

I've seen cars flip over right across Carol. I've seen
people get hit right across. And last year two head-on
collisions on San Gabriel. One was of our neighbor
right on the corner of Gladys and Kinderman. It's just
so many things have happened that are going to multiply
by having all that traffic there..
And this study that this company has done, I
believe it's full.of lies because I think -- I believe
it's biased. And it's not right if you vote tonight on
this, because the City owes it to the citizens for an
independent analysis or impact report, because it's just
something -- there is something wrong about this study
that this company has done. It's just not right. It's
got to be wrong.
And I feel bad that over the past two years
I've invested over $11,000 in permits, prints, you know,
to remodel my house because I have four kids. My oldest
is going to graduate in January from San Gabriel High.
And I wish I could get all that money now 'and take it
back and just leave. I'm going to have all that noise,
all that traffic_ And believe me, I have my shares
already in that neighborhood. I have complained to the
City. I have complained to the sheriffs about many
different things. And they are very slow to act on or
to -- you know, to try to make the neighborhood a little

better. They've just completely forgotten about this
neighborhood.
And now all of a sudden they're repairing the
streets_ They're tearing down all the trees, repairing
the sidewalks, because they want to make it look good
for Wal-Mart. It's just not right.
And I've lived there almost ten years, and
before that I lived on.Fal1 Lane for about five years.
And I've seen the changes there. And I know for a fact'
that for every job that Wal-Mart supposedly generates,
you're going to lose two here in Rosemead.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: Tim Hoang.
MR.. TIM HOANG: Madam Mayor and Councilmembers,
my name is Tim. And I live in Rosemead and I love
Rosemead.
I'll tell where I'm coming from when it comes
to Wal-Mart. I've seen Wal-Mart all over the world,
especially when I travel and -- especially when I
travel. And I was in the United States Navy for five
years. I've seen Wal-Mart disguised as other names in
other countries. When they go in and they buy up other
big stores, big named mega stores, and they operate it
under that disguise. And I've seen the traffic. And
I'm not just talking about across the United States.

I'm talking about all over the world. And I've seen how
the pollution rises. I've seen how things just
deteriorate when they out compete and out class all
these mom-and-pop stores in all these for nations.
Think about the United States. We are such a
strong economy -- capitalistic economy. And we have a
hard time fighting off Wal-Mart. You could just imagine
in a lot of these other less-developed capitalistic
societies fighting off Wal-Mart. It just doesn't work.
And right now -- I mean, I hear the support
going on and on with these statistics and these numbers.
And frankly, nobody's going to remember, you know,
before this night is over -- if I talk about numbers and
I talk about price -- all right -- we have to ask
ourselves these questions, especially when it relates to
money and dollars. What price are we willing to pay?
What price are we willing to pay to keep our businesses,
our brothers, our sisters, our family, our friends'
businesses intact in Rosemead? Our mom-and-pop stores?
(Audience interruption.)
MR. TIM HOANG: What price are we willing to
pay, right, to keep our residents circulating freely in
Rosemead without the burden of traffic? What price are
we willing to pay just to keep our kids safe in
Rosemead?

I wanted to comment quickly on five things.
First is traffic. Anybody knows that a traffic study is
a worst case analysis. It is an exaggeration of
impacts, and it's done intentionally in order to push
the envelope to err on the side of caution. It doesn't
necessarily represent an actual impact in terms of a
project impact. It's intended to push the edge to
determine what mitigation should be in place should that
worst case scenario ever happen.
I think there's been an awful lot of
speculation presented tonight about what the traffic
impacts will be. But short of the traffic study itself,
I haven't heard anybody present any information to the
contrary, any empirical data to refute any of the
assumptions or the conclusions of the traffic study
and -- other than just a few wild claims.
I would also suggest or remind you that we
submitted to you earlier a copy of a San Gabriel Valley
Tribune article dated in 1973 where the developer who
was marketir_a the condominiums in that neighborhood
actually was promoting the fact that there was going to
be a commercial center built in that neighborhood and
how convenient that was going to be for the purchasers
of those homes. And he actually used it as a marketing
tool in selling those residences.
247
1 On the subject of air quality, we live in an
2 extreme nonattair_*aent area here in Southern Ca1ir_ornia.
3 By definition, niton, adding one vehicle trip to any project is
4 considered significant. Whatever you do on this site
5 will exceed air quality standards -- ! think that's a
I
6 given -- whether it's a park, whether it's housing, or
7 whether it's an office building.
I
8 The standard is one vehicle trip. I would bet
I
9 that today that that site exceeds the ?MI -0 standards
10 1 that we have here in Southern California, simply because
11
it isn't paved. Any time the breeze blows, they're
12
going to kick up enough PM10 to exceed the standards
13
that we've set, even though it's a natural site.
14
Every project in Southern California that
,15
requires an EIR exceeds or requires overriding
16
considerations for air quality. And that's been the
17
case for the last 15 or 20 years, ever since we were
18
designated a ncnattainment area. You won't find a
19
project that's required in the EIR where the
20
h
jurisdiction hasn't had to adopt overriding
21
considerations on air quality, because you can't
22
mitigate air quality to zero.
It simply can't happen.
23
In the case of the
elements that were discussed
24
in the EIR, you know, there's a new fuel that's mandated
25
for California in 2006 in diesel engines, which will

substantially reduce emissions from diesel. And in 2010
new engines produced and sold Southern California -- the
new diesel engines are going to have to be as clean as
natural gas engines. And that standard is already in
place and the manufacturers have already agreed to it.
The simple fact of the matter is that
notwithstanding all the scare tactics that we have
listened to about air quality, we still have -the best
air quality we've had in decades, and it improves each
year. The hysteria, frankly, is completely misplaced.
On the subject of the store closings, you know,
Wal -Mart's in the business of the retailer of opening
stores, not closing them. And if you look at the stores
that were itemized and listed as dark stores, I think
you'll find that in most cases those were -- there was
the instance where they actually built a larger store in
the very same community. And that was the reason that
those other stores were closed.
You know, Ralph's closed, Montgomery Wards
closed, Toys 'R Us closed, Harley Davidson closed.
Gloria Romero closed her office and moved out of town,
and I didn't hear any outrage about any of those
closures. So I think you need to -- I doubt that
Wal-Mart is going to consider closing one of the 40
flagship shores that they're building in the State of

California. And I think you need to dwell a little less
on the "what if" and let's keep focused on the sure
thing.
Let me talk about the Berkeley study. That was
purely an academic exercise. It was funded by a union
financed labor institute. It used three-year-old data,
and it developed an economic model. The presumptions or
the conclusions of that study were presumed. They
weren't proven. In fact, they have no proof that a
single employee actually received any of the benefits
that they claimed they received.
And if you -- for those of you that attended
the -- Senator Romero's hearing the other night, Senator
Joe Dunn asked the researcher of that study what data he
would most like to have, and indicated that he would
happily get the subpoenasto get that data. And what
that researcher said is, "We�want the data from the
State of California on who the recipients of that
program are and who their employers are. What he, in
effect, said is, "We don't have any idea who is getting
those benefits and we don't have any way to link them to
Wal-Mart. In fact, we don't have any way to validate
our study." That's how his comments are accurately
translated.
The fact of the matter is without the

validation of that study, it isn't worth a thing. And
if, in fact, as the lady indicated, the taxpayers of
California paid for that study, they ought to get their
money back.
Finally, let me say with regard to the mantra
that we've heard about tonight about listening to your
constituents. I think Julie Gentry probably summed it
up best. When you sort through the thousands of names
of petitions that have been submitted to the City, by
both sides_ 321 of those opponents are registered
voters in the City of Rosemead, and 1,051 of the
supporters are registered voters in the City of
Rosemead. If I can quote Mr. Tran, "It's a no-brainer."
He's absolutely right. They don't have the votes. The
numbers speak for themselves_ I think you should really
listen to the voters in your community. Thank you.
MAYOR CLARK: Larry Bevins from Save Our
Community.
LARRY BEVINS: My name is Larry.Bevins. And I
apologize to the Council for assuming that since the
Planning Commission, David Stewart and I have been
shuffled -- despite the fact that we were here early, we
were shuffled to the very back_ We were the last
"speakers at.that time.
I'm not going to try to rebutt Mr. Lewis'

statements. I dcn't think it's necessary. Mr. Lewis has
lied to this community from the day he arrived here and
told the, first group he was here as a friend of a
friend. There is several hundred of us heard him make
that statement. And so it doesn't do him any good to
deny it.
All of a sudden the friend of a friend was a
paid consultant for Wal-Mart. And maybe he got the job
through.the friend -- I don't know -- but he did lie on
that occasion.
There are two or three things I'm going to
state, and then I'm going to ask some questions which
have been distributed -.here to the Council tonight.
There was a statement made about the problem
they were having with Caltrans on the freeway offramps.
There's been two series of letters going back and forth.
Y
I'm embarrassed as a person with the City of Rosemead to
find that we've hired consultants that lied directly to
one of the best organizations, as Caltrans, around
here. Caltrans is responsible for the freeways. They
have the right to ask for the studies they've asked for.
And to have the snotty attitide that the consultants
have used, I hope the Council will just read those items
and take them into consideration.
As far as what Mr. Mike Lewis said about the

consultant -- or actually, the author of the -- what we
now call the $86 million report, I don't think anybody
else got the same interpretation on that that he did.
And I didn't expect him to. This man told us that the
material that they had used was the result of subpoenas
And
that's the latest thing they could get out of Wal -Mart -
They wouldn't release any later figures. So the figures
that went in that $86 million case were furnished by
Wal-Mart, and they've refused to furnish anything else_
We talk about this overriding consideration.
Mr_ Lewis, at least, brought it up. The overriding
consideration says that all of the problems: traffic,
pollution, noise, all of rest of them, are going to be
overridden -- and this is a requirement of the
California Environmental Quality Act. The overriding
consideration they said so far are for convenience of a
few shoppers. And if there are going to be 15,000 cars
a day coming there, as we understand there will, at a
minimum, there are going to be a lot of shoppers from
outside of the City of Rosemead. And so their
convenience.
The second thing they sav is so that the City
can get some more money. Anybody that really studies
this thing knows that there'd be very bad health

conditions there. And what they're talking about is
blood money on the lives of the people that are going to
live close.
I think you find -- study the addresses for
most of the people in favor of this are north of Garvey
or north of the 10 Freeway. And, of course, it's going
to be convenient for them, and it's going to raise hell
for the rest of us that live down in South Rosemead.
So I'm just going to read in the record that I
passed out to you this document that I'm going to read
from now. But I want it to go on the record.
Can the City Council guarantee that the
oreparees of the EIR will prove to be absolutely right
about the many adverse effects considered in the EIR?
If not, then please don't gamble with the quality of
life, the safety, and the health of thousands of
persons. In that case you should vote "No."
Would you want -- you, now City Councilmembers,
want 15,000 to 18,000 trips a day, 5,475,000 to
6,750,000 trips per year using your streets in your
neighborhood, parking in the streets of your and your
neighbors' houses, and endangering the children and
pedestrians in your neighborhood? If you would not do
that, vote for it_ Why do you think you ought to oppose
i
it on our neighborhood where it's now proposed?

The ETR =Says you can be 50 feet away from a 5.7
earthquake or greater, then you're safe. I've lived
close to earthquakes. I've lived within 50 feet of one.
And I'll guarantee you, they scare the hell out of me.
If any group feels that you want to be that close to a
5.7 earthquake when it happens, then you're a lot braver
than I am. If you're not willing to put your lives
there and stay close to those earthquake problems, 50
feet awav -- so if something that shifts and shakes
buildings like Cal Fed and the Title Insurance Company
building until they were out of business for a year or
more, I don't think I would want to be anywhere close to
it.
And so there is no question to the Council
where we are, SOC -- and we have 400 active members and
we've delivered the City 4,000 signers of a petition who
say they oppose this thing.
The next question: Are you ready to expose the
Citv of Rosemead in a court of law, including the whole .
Wal-Mart procedure, at which time all City Staff,
consultants, City Councilmembers, and Planning
Commission would have to be under oath to explain why
they made the decision they did and took the actions
they did. If you're not ready to be there, you'd better
vote "No," because that's where we're ready to go. We
255
I
1 have three attorneys on our staff
already to handle this
2 case.
c
3 Are you ready to submit yourselves and the
4 citizens of Rosemead to the pain of a recall election or
5
a bitter battle at
the next
election
over the
Wal-Mart
6
question? And as
Mr. Brady
told you
earlier,
he now has
7
enough signatures
to present
a recall
action
to the city
8 clerk.
9 And before you answer that one, there was a
10 recall that was mentioned by somebody earlier that
11 occurred in this city a few years ago. it ripped the
12 fabric of this city and lingered on for many, many
13 1 years
14 The last question: Are you ready for a
15 referendum on the Wal-Mart matter which petitioning and
16 voting would center on the idea that based on the
r
17 Wal-Mart vote, the City Council and Staff are so out of
18 touch and control in the decision-making process that
i
19 they would sell out the health and welfare of thousands
20 of residents near the Wal-Mart site for the idea of
21 convenience for a few pieces gold for the city?
22 A referendum that basically says we don't feel
23 the Council is acting in our Ibest interests, and the
24 people better take back control of City Council and the
r25 1 Staff, and protect all areas of the city against the big.

MAYOR CLARK: Now it's time for the Wal-Mart
representative to have the opportunity to rebutt any
issues.
MR. PETER CANALES: Good morning, Mayor and
Councilmembers. I appreciate the opportunity to speak
here tonight -- or this morning. I just wanted to take
a few moments and correct a few things that have been
said tonight, and, obviously, point out some
misperceptions about our company and things that simply
are not true. And one of the benefits of the internet,
it's a great tool -- source of information.
MAYOR CLARK: would you identify yourself for
the --
MR. PETER CANALES: Oh, sure. I'm sorry.
Peter Canales, Community Affairs Manager for Wal-Mart
stores.
One of the benefits of the internet is that
it's a great source of information. But it's also a
great source of disinformation, as well. And a lot of
the stuff that you've heard tonight, quite frankly, is
simply not true, half truths, or just things that are
taken out of context.

For example, as you heard the list of stores
that were supposedly dark stores, as they referred to
them, in the State of California. There's not one
Wal-Mart store in the State of California that has been
closed. The only store --
(Audience interruption.)
MR. PETER CANALES: The only Wal-Mart store
that actually has ever even been relocated is,the store
in La Quinta, California. And that store has been
leased
to
a
Kohl's
Department
Store.
And we're
very
proud.cf
the
fact
that we're
able to
-- our
whole
Wal-Mart realty team is able to find viable tenants for
those stores here in California.
What the individual is reading from was a list
of Wal-Mart stores that -- you know, for example, in
Hemet. Our Hemet store is going to become a
supercenter_ it's been approved as a supercenter, as
many have throughout California_ And that particular
store will be available for one of the other retailers
in the industry to take.it and utilize it in that
community. I
Let me go to the U.C. Berkeley study, because
really, the U.C. Berkeley study is really kind of a
focal point here, as far as what this really is about

the greater L.A. area and California between organized
labor and Wal-Mart. And that's really what this is
about. It's an attempt --
(Audience interruption.)
MR. PETER CANALES: It's an attempt for labor
to limit competition in order to protect their market
share_
The U.C. Berkeley study is biased and uses
factually inaccurate information. Not once did the
Labor Center's researchers contact Wal-Mart for
statistical information or even verified the information
they had.
It should also be noted that in their own
report in the bibliography, they cited Dr. Richard
Drogan as a source. What they failed to explain in the
report is that Dr. Drogan is the expert hired by the
plaintiffs in a gender discrimination lawsuit pending
against Wal -Mart -
While the Center denies receiving funding for
this particular study from labor, it does not dispute
receiving funds from labor unions in the past. Further,
the Labor -Center openly supports union causes, and has
been documented in previous newspaper reports. And I'll
just read -- for example, the Orange Countv Recister in
2002, "There is nothing wrong with organized labor
259
i
1 establishing an institute to promote unionization and
2 liberal political positions. But there is something
3 wrong with forcing all California taxpayers to pay such
41 blatant and partisan advocacy, hardly academic
5
independence
at a
public
institution.
Here
is a program
6
that ought to
go,
even if
the State
weren't
submerged in
7 I red ink.'
81 And I bring this up to your attention because
9
you've
heard
a lot
tonight
about, you
know,
_referendum
10
and
recall.
We're
here --
you know,
we've
been here
11 working with the community, working with the City trying
12 to do the right thing. We respect the right=_ of the
13 individuals in this room to voice their opinion and to
14 be heard and to stand up here tonight and talk to you.
15 We also respect the right they feel the need to take any
16 other kind of action through the democracy.
17 But one question I would ask is this. When
18 those campaign disclosures are filed or any kind of
19 disclosures are filed and there are organized labor
20 contributions on there, the truth will be shown and the
21 truth will be told, that this is really an effort by
22 organized labor to win the c mpetition. And so --

You've heard a lot of references -- and I would say
this. That the will of the people in Rosemead clearly,
as Mr. Lewis pointed out, that they would like to have a
major superstore here.
(Audience interruption.)
MR.. PETER CANALES: The fact that the Ralph's
store has closed is not indicative of the people who
support Wal-Mart not shopping there, but more
importantly, it's more indicative of the people over
here on this side of the room not shopping there. And
unfortunately, that store has found the need to close in
this community.
Wal-Mart is making a commitment to this
community to come into Rosemead, open a store, and be
able to bring our low prices to Rosemead. Our grocery
prices have typically between 15 and 20 percent lower
than the major competitors. The LABEC study has shown
that every household in Southern California will save
nearly $589 a year in grocery savings when Wal-Mart
Supercenters are allowed to come into California.
So I would just like to close by letting you
know that our Wal-Mart stores within the city provide a
great amount of opportunity for associates within the
company to rise through the ranks and to become -- to
build a career within Wal-Mart, something that a lot of
261
i
i
1
_
our competitors don't do. They are offered full array
2
of benefits, including healthcare, which Wal-Mart pays
3
for.=r_d in fact, one of the things 'that you don't hear
4
about is that 40 percent of our associates who are on
5
Wal-Mart healthcare had no healthcare before they
6
started with the company. Which that, in itself, shows
7
that Wal-Mart is taking the burden off the public
8
assistance.
9
I would be happy to answer any questions that
10
you have. And I would just encourage you to join the
11
other communities: Calexico, Hemet, San Jacinto, Palm
12
Springs, Palm Desert, Bakersfield -- and just to mention
13
Cathedral City, I have to mention one of the City
14
Councilmembers there is a member -- or is on the dole of
15
the unions working on behalf of them as a political
16
consultant. And that's why re's out there saying it.
17
But I will point out, once again, there are no closed
18
stores in Cathedral City as well.
19
So to close, I would ask you to join the cities
20
that I've listed: Gilroy, Bakersfield, Hanford,
21
Stockton -- and actually, Stsckton and Hemet both are
22
two cities that are opening supercenters next month.
23
But all of those communities I've mentioned have
24
supercenters. They've been Ipproved. So you would be
25

MAYOR CLARK: Mr. Canales, we have some
questions. We need some questions answered.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Mr. Canales, for the last
year I've heard about Cathedral City as the !inch pin of
the closing of Wal-Mart.
Would you repeat what's happened in Cathedral-
City?
athedral
City?
MR. PETER CANALES: In Cathedral City now we
have an existing store, a Wal-Mart, and an existing
SAM's Club. The SAM's club was a store that we actually
took over. It was a Pace store, and we took that over.
So whatever deals were made between the City of
Cathedral City and Pace is something between them. It
had nothing to do with our Wal-Mart/SAM'S Club.
Our Wal-Mart is there. Our Wal-Mart is still
open. The intention is -- or it's to relocated to
Palm Desert. But we have talked to the City. We've
been working with the City there. And when that
decision is made and the store is closed, we will do
everything in our power to make sure that that building
is )-eased to a viable tenant.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: You say moved to Palm City?

COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: But you still have a SA.M's
Club there?
MR. PETER CANALES: Yeah. There's a SAM'S Club
there. There is an existing SAM's Club there. Neither
store are closed right now.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Okay. The other question,
somebody raised the statement -- or made the statement
no guns or ammunition can be sold within -- or how
should I say? was it sold within 1,000 feet of a
school; is that correct?
MR. PETER CANALES: Well, I don't know the city
laws, but our stores in California do not currently sell
guns.
(Audience interruption.)
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR.: ;Well, no. That's not
proper. Madam Mayor.
MAYOR CLARK: It was Assemblymember Chu that
said that. I believe she -- because I was going to ask
the same question.

just want to make sure.
And you said now your stores in California do
not sell the guns?
MR. PETER CANALES: Our stores in California
currently are not selling firearms. And -- I'm sorry..
Just so you know, the stores that we do sell firearms,
we only sell rifles. There is no handguns.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: You say currently -- you
say currently they do not do it.
Are they proposing to do it?
MR. PETER CANALES: We have sold guns in the
past, and it's something that we still want to have --
we always want to keep our options open to meet the
needs of our customers. But most of --
(Audience interruption_)
MR PETER CANALES: Most of our stores in more
urban settings -- for example, Baldwin Hills, Panorama
City, we do not sell firearms.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: I was out to the Baldwin
Park store about a month ago, and they have no guns and
ammunition there.
MR. PETER CANRLES: No, they do not.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: And there is nothing in our
conditions to prevent that.
You object to having that in these conditions?
265
1 MR_ PETER CANALES: Can you say that again,
2
please -
3
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Would you object to having
4
it in the conditions of approval, no guns or ammunition
5
to be sold?
6
(Audience interruption.)
7
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: One reason -- I've got to
8
be sure that there is not a law that guns cannot. be sold
9
within a thousand feet of a school.
10
MAYOR CLARK: That's what she said. That is
11
the law.
12
MR. PETER CANALES: I don't know there is a --
13
I don't know what it is, whether that law exists or not.
14
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Well, it may be a moot
15
point. If the law comes into effect, then you won't
16
have them.
17
MR. PETER CANALES:
Well, exactly. If that is
18
an existing law, absolutely
we would not sell firearms.
19
And as far as whether
or not we would
20
agree, I think that's something
that as long as it's an
21
item -- you know, that would
Ibe a contingency that you
22
would put on any other businesses.
You know, we could
23
agree to that as well_

COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: !The The other question I have

it would be a 24-hour store. And I did ask the person
where did you hear that; and I said that's not true.
And at that time it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the
agreement, but Baldwin Park's hours are from 7:00 to
10:00 P.M. So perhaps I was wrong by using their store
hours.
But in effect, what other cities -- Monrovia,
Pico Rivera, Covina, what hours are those stores open?
MR_ PETER CANALES: I don't know the exact
hours of those particular stores, but I will -- here,
let me explain the confusion here. We do have Wal-Mart
stores that are open 24 hours, regular Wal-Mart stores.
And I will actually also point out one of the
inaccuracies. Somebody made reference to a bunch of
supercenters in California. As of right now, we only
have one supercenter. That's the City of La Quinta.
But this Wal-Mart will open as a regular
Wal-Mart, of which it would have the limited hours. And
we would not have a problem having limited hours.
But anyway, once this store became a
supercenter, we would want to have the ability to be
able to meet the needs of our customers and have it
operate 24 hours, as do most of our competitors in the
surrounding area and other grocery stores in the greater
L.A. area have the ability to meet the needs of their
267
268

customers and operate on a 24-hour basis.

MR. PETER CANALES: Say that again.

MR_ PETER CANALES: No, it does not.

COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ: Madam Mayor, I want to go
14
over a question that you answered Gary Taylor.
15
You have a supercenter in La Quinta; correct?
1
16
MR. PETER CANALES:
Correct.
17
COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ:
And then you want to move
18
wal-Mart to Palm Desert?
19
MR. PETER CANALES:
In order to meet the needs
20
of our customers in the Coachella
Valley, we decided
21
that three stores are adequate
in that particular area.
22
And unfortunately, when we hilt
stores in California,
23
the supercenter concept -- you
know, really started
24
about 15 years ago. But it
Ls only been perfected

been in the State of California for a little over 12
years now.
When we built our existing stores in
California, we -- you know, the supercenter concept was
just kind of rolling out. And unfortunately, our
existing.-- some of our existing stores were not built
with the ability of expanding into a supercenter. And
Cathedral City is one of those stores where we can't do
that.
In many cases what we're trying to do now is
try to build stores that we have that option available
to us so we don't have to relocate stores. But our hope
is that we will be able to meet the needs of all of our
customers in the Coachella Valley.
And, you know -- I mean, it's one of those
things where if you've been to any of our stores, I'm
sure you've seen the lines and the parking lot. You
know, I can't stand here -- I don't really want to stand
here and apologize for our success. But unfortunately,
that's what haoQens_ We have a vast following of
customers that want to be able to shop at our stores_
In the State of California we have -over 5 million
customers every week going in our stores. And so that's
why in the Coachella Valley we're trying to make sure
that we can meet all of their needs.
I
i
1
COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ: 1 I'm just a little
2
bewildered because I -- I'm familiar with the desert
3
cities, and Palmdale is so close to La Quinta.
4
Why would you want to put the two stores so
5
close together?
6
MR. PETER CANALES: No. That store in -- the
7
Palm Desert store will -- La Quinta -- excuse me. The
8
Cathedral City storewill relocate to the Palm Desert
9
store. And so that store will close. And then we will
10
find a tenant for -- our Wal-Mart real estate division
11
will look for a tenant for that building.
12
COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ: Okay. But the one in
13
Cathedral City, you're moving over to Palm Desert,.a
14
Wal-Mart to Palm Desert?
15
MR. PETER CANALES: Yes. They will become a
i
16

,17
COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ: You've got two
18
supercenters there --
19
MR_ PETER CANALES: Well, we'll have three
20
supercenters. We'll have, actually, Palm Desert,
21
Palm Springs, and La Quinta. We'll have three
22
supercenters to meet the needs of the Coachella Valley.
23
COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ: Because I know Cathedral
24
City is a good distance from La Quinta. But Palm
25
Desert, to me, is just very jclose.

MR. PETER CP_NALES: Exactly. But we cannot --
our Cathedral City store cannot become a supercenter.
It's not capable of being expanded to,a supercenter.'
And in order to meet the needs of our customers out
there, we need to be able to provide them groceries.
And so that's why we had to do that. Unfortunately, in
Cathedral City, that store was not built with expansion
capabilities.
The store here in Rosemead, obviously, we will
have that and meet.the needs of our customers.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR.: Madam Mayor, I have a
another question for information here.
Who owns and operates the gas stations that you
have on your Wal-Mart and SAM'S sites?
MR. PETER CANALES: Well, we've agreed with the
Staff, the gas station has been removed from this
particular site.
But on the Wal-Mart side of the stores, there
is an independent operator that operates it. There's
not a particular vendor right now in Califcrnia that's
operating. We don't have any gas stations in any of our
Wal -Marts in California. And our SAM's Club is owned by
Wal-Mart.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR.: Thank you.
MAYOR CLARK: I'd like to just follow up on the
271
i Cathedral City issue. You said it is not large enough
2 to be a Super Wal-Mart, but earlier you said that one of
3 the Councilmembers works for the union.
a MR. PETER CANALES: One of the Council -members
5 is -- his occuDat_on is a political consultant. He
6 works very closely with organized labor. And he has
7 been actively going out and basically saying things that
i
8 simply are not true about Wal-Mart being in the city of
9
Cathedral City.
10
And we have been working with the Citv. You
11
know, it's one of those things where we have had
12
conversations and talked to the City about things that
13
we can do and help, as far a' finding a tenant for the
14
particular Wal-Mart store. And we're going to continue
15
doing that once the decisionlis made to relocate that
16
store to Palm Desert. But we're confident -- we were in
i
17
La Quihta. In La Quinta, we're going to find a Kohl's.
18
And Kohl's is taking that paticular facility.
19
And we're ccn.fident�that we will also be able
20
to find somebody to take our,facility in Cathedral City.
21
That's a growing area out there and there's a lot of
22 room out there for additional retail. And so we're
23 pretty optimistic that we'll be able to find somebody.
24 COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Madam Mavor, just a

lived in the City,of San Gabriel and Rosemead for 55
years. And I saw Sears come—in in El Monte. I watched
when they built that store and when they closed that
store. Then Sears came in and thev built out on Azusa
Avenue in Covina. And they closed that store. They
built their headquarters in Alhambra with a full-service
store. And they closed.that store.
So because stores close for one reason or
another, it's not a detriment that it's a bad company.
So when stores go dark -- and that's why I wanted to ask
you about Cathedral City, because that's come up from a
half a dozen people. And Sears, they have a 25 -year
lease. They would build a new store. And in all those
cases, they were approximately that long. So just
because a store closes does not mean that they deserted
the community. Otherwise, we could do it with the Sears
stores, the Penney stores. It's just part of business
sometimes.
MR. PETER CANALES: And if I could add to that.
On the reverse side, there are numerous examples
throughout Southern California where we've actually
filled empty buildings. Our Baldwin Hills store in the
City of Los Angeles is a vacated building that sat there
for five years. It's our first three-story Wal-Mart in
the country. Panorama City is another example. Down in

San Diego there was an empty Wards building in the City
of La Mesa. City of San Diego, an empty Home Base_
So we have filled a lot of empty big boxes as well.
And quite frankly, we've done more as far as
filling these empty stores in the State of California
than there are any vacant Wal-Mart stores. But, you
know, California is a very unique market. And we are
absolutely confident that as these stores are available,
we'll be able to fill them.
But the reality is that Rosemead -- this is not
an issue for this particular, store_ This store will
1
thrive in this community. We're very confident of it,
i
and that's why we picked this location.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Madam Mayor, one final
question on the Baldwin Park store.
Mr. Kelty, when he stood up and spoke that
there is two feet -- it's two -foot thick, the
information that we all received -- I didn't bring the
other two boxes tonight, but Iit is two -foot thick on our
information, draft EIR, and final EIR_ And what I have
in my hand here is the draft IEIR for Baldwin Park is 82
pages. The final EIR is 32 pages. That's the extent of
it.
So when they get onto Staff, whether it's the
consultants or whoever it iso, complaining about the

report -- I've been in construction -- or I was in
construction for 33 years, building complete facilities
anywhere from one to four large buildings,
multi -million -dollar buildings. And we got involved
with the cities and EIRs. I had to read those. And I
have never in 33 years seen an EIP, that had so much
information in it. Right or wrong, the majority of
it -- as the comment was made, in an EIR, you have to
state a significant problem. You don't put
insignificant right away because then you don't have to
research it_ So it always states significant impact.
That means that it has to.be studied and done properly.
And our noise, air, traffic, those are several
hundred pages long, whether we agree with them or not.
I did read through all of them, and it was eye opening
for me to see so much. As I say, Baldwin Park. That's
it.
So you were involved with the Baldwin Park
project?,
MR. PETER CANALES: I wasn't directly involved
with that, but we have representatives here that were.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: But my point is did you
have to do as much in Baldwin Park as you did here in
Rosemead?
MR. PETER CANALES: Obviously not. we meet the
275
276
1
demands of the law and of the legislative bcdy. And we
2
have worked very aggressively with the City. And I
3
think the City has been verycooperative with us, and
4
we've provided any information. And I think we've met
5
all of the requirements that .you have asked of us, which
6
have been quite lengthy. I mean, you guys have really
7
pushed the envelope there and asked us to do a lot more
8
than many other communities.
9
COUNCILMP_N TAYLOR: But in Baldwin Park, the
10
EIR regarding the air and the noise was one page each_
1
11
That's all that's in it. t•
12
And the reason I'm saying, that's not
13
necessarily wrong in the sense that -- like I said, I've
14
lived right here in San Gabriel on -- I live on Marshall
is
now, and Norwood Place is one block up, and over by
.16
Saint Anthony's since 1947. And my mom would open the
17
front windows and the west windows, because the wind, eS
18
percent of the time, blows from the southwest to the
19
northeast. That's the majority or it. I do the same
20
thing at my house. You could go home and check the
21
windows right now.
22
The point being is that Rice School is
23
northwest, not northeast. So when the wind currents
24
blow all across the San Gabriel Valley, it's the same
25
air. It's just like a massive ocean or a river_ It

doesn't turn corners and go up certain streets or
whatever the reason. It blows in one big flume, so to
speak. So the air that is blowing across the Wal-Mart
site area blows across the golf course, blows across the
Edison facilities, blows out across the river, all in
that same direction. And eventually, if you were to
follow that line, you would cross the Baldwin Park
Wal-Mart.
The point being is that it's all the same wind
blowing across the same valley. And the extent of these
EIR reports that we have are tremendous, in comparing to
Baldwin Park.
So whenever they criticize Staff as not giving
enough information or research it more, we've done it
for two years. So in fairness to Staff and the
consultants, I think you've been accused wrongly. And
I'm sorry for that. This is the best EIR.that I've seen
in 33 years -- actually, 43 years. I retired 10 years.
ago. So all of these reports, it's the best I've ever
seen.
MR. PETER CANALES: Well, I think it's an
attestment to the City and the Council's insight, making

MAYOR CLARK: Mr. Imperial, these are just --
10
we need to close the public hearing as soon as we're all

12
So do you have questions for Mr. Canales?
13
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL No. No.

COUNCILMAN ALARCON:; I do have a question. I'd

15
like to get back to the gun issue. It is my
16
understanding that Wal-Mart did not sell guns, but now I
17
hear that you take that option -- or you retain that
18
option.
19
Would you accept the no gun sales as one of our
20
terms and conditions?
21
MR. PETER CANALES: I think that's something
22
that we probably could live with if it's -- in your
23
store. But what I would asks the Council is that, A, if
24
the state law is that we can't sell firearms or
25
ammunition within a thousand 'feet of a school, if that's

actually the case, then obviously that would supersede
anything. But I would also hope that any restriction
that would be placed on Wal-Mart would also be placed on
any of our competitors in similar situations.
COUNCILMAN ALARCON: I would agree with that.
The second issue, I've had a problem with the
24 hours. And the same situation. We don't have an
ordinance on the book for markets to be open. Thev can
be open. 24 hours. But I'd like to recommend that we
increase your hours to midnight, but that's it. And
then we would make, in a separate meeting, an
ordinance -- if the rest of the Council supports me
that any markets in our city would be limited to the
same condition as the Wal-Mart.
MR. PETER CANP_LES: In that particular case, as
far as the 24-hour operation -- I mean, this store --
the intent of this store is to become a supercenter.
And our supercenters, to operate efficiently and
effectively, run 24 hours. And so in order to -- we're
making a significant investment in this particular store
with the intention of it becoming a supercenter. So we
would need to have it be able to operate on a 24-hour
basis.
COUNCILMAN ALARCON: By "operate" you mean --
MR. PETER CANALES: To be open.
279
1 COUNCILMAN ALARCON: Thank you.
2 MR. PETER CANALES: Thank you.
3 MAYOR CLARK: But _you would not have it open 24
4 hours until it became a supercenter? Is that what
t
5 you're saying?
6 MR. PETER CANALES: -Correct, Madam Mavor. As
7 far as when it's a regular Wal-Mart, we would meet the
8 time constraints you set. But once it becomes a
9 supercenter, we would need t; be able to operate that 24
i
10 hours.
11 MAYOR CLARK: I'd 11ke to also ask about the
12 issue of hiring people from Rosemead.
13 MR. PETER CANALES: Yes. We will work --
14 typically what happens is th'e process -- the way the
i
15 process works is about two -and -a -half months out before
f
16 the store opens, we have what we call a "possession"
17 date. The keys are handed to the store manager. And
18 the store manager basically is responsible, from that
19 point on, for that store. And he will work usually with
20 one of the local employmentlagencies and work on hiring
21 1 associates for the store.
22 Typically, with mos jt communities, our
23 associates are directly from the community and reside
24 within the community. And Io I think you would be very
foll25 pleased_ And we would be happy to work with the City or

anv agencies the City would like for us to work with as

And the initial hiring process would be about

would go up to 500 to 550, depending on the customer.

MAYOR CLARK: Are there any other questions
from the Council of Mr. Canales?
A11.right. Seeing none, we'll close the public
hearing. We'll recess the Community Development
Commission. We open up for discussion or comments from
the Councilmembers.

COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Madam Mayor, I stated when
the -- how should I say, the supervisor or state
assemblywoman or state senator representative and
John Tran from the school district, but Mrs_ Romero was
the most -- how should I.sav -- adamant against
Wal-Mart, without exception. It was so vehement that
she would not tolerate Wal-Mart stores_ That's the way
it came across to me. And you can bet that I'll listen
to my tapes to back up that's what she said.
And we were threatened by our supervisor,
Mrs. Molina_ And we were threatened by Mrs. Romero, as
far as I'm concerned.
Now, we've had problems with the County coming

back, the engineering department -- and I would have to
ask Mr. Crow, because I don't remember. But they sent
letters back two or three times_ And I don't doubt that
And Mrs. Romero, when she talks about the state
commissions that she sits on, I don't doubt that she can
be very vindictive about what happens with Rosemead,
because of the Pomona Freeway having an "F" rating of
failure. We cannot do anything about the Pomona
Freeway. That is Mrs. Romero's job. When it has an "F"
rating and she can't do anything about it, she says to
Rosemead, "You will not have your project because the
Pomona Freeway is an 'F' rating." And we've been told
that because of the Pomona Freeway, whatever happens
down there is an unacceptable project, because it's been
stated if we have one car, 50 cars, a hundred cars, it's
more cars put on the Pomona Freeway. That's not our
fault.
We may put -- the point being is if we had any
I
cars, her attitude is that you won't get a Wal-Mart.
You won't get anything. And that's not right.
So with her comments and the $86 million -- and
I have to say this because Il need it in the record.
This is a newspaper article ;from the Pasadena -- around
Pasadena -- it's Pasadena Star News, September 2nd,

2004. Just last week. "Jacobs" -- and that name is not
important, but the paragraph, "Jacobs said. Wal-Mart
employees make such low wages, about $15,000 annually."
That's what their cart people make. And if you work it
out at $300 a week times four is $1,200 a month, times
10 months is 12,000 so many dollars. Then you add
another 1200 onto that. That brings it up to almost
$15,000 for their cart attendants at 5312 a week.
And I'm going to say it for the record right
now that my daughter works for SAM'S Club, a subsidiary
of Wal-Mart. And she's worked for them for ten years.
Started out as a clerk. And I hear snickers coming out
there, so don't tell me about lack of benefits and lack
of dental. I know personally what goes on with a lot of
the Wal-Mart or SAM'S subsidiary. She makes $50,000 a
year, starting out as a clerk.
(Audience interruption.)
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: So -- yeah, do what you
want, Mr. Brady. Was that you?
MR. BRADY: 'les, it was.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Yeah. Anyway, getting back
to this. $86 million a year that we subsidize -- excuse
me -- the taxoavers subsidize Wal-Mart.
there is several other articles here and --
you'll have to bear with me for a minute. Wal-Mart has

approximately 60,000 employees in the State of
California. They pay -- just using the $15 minimum,
it's approximately $1 billion a year in wages that they
pay to California workers. So they may pay -- they may
get $86 million -- and nobody's verified that yet. But
they do provide a billion dollars in wages to California
workers, going on that minimum.
Also, in another article here -- it's from the
Sacramento Bee. It states -i and this is Daniel
Weintrob, August 12th, 2004. Last month. And on page 2
it states, "And what about the cost with which Wal-Mart
supposedly saddles the rest of us? According to the
i
study" -- this is that Berkeley study -- "those 44,000
workers soaked up 86 million;in subsidized healthcare,
child care assistance, and other public benefits." But
the same study notes that the employees of other large
retailers in California receive benefits totaling
$1.1 billion_ In another study'by the same think tank
concludes that the total value of health and welfare
benefits provided by the taxpayers to the working poor
is more than $10 million a yf= .
So to jump on Wal-Mart as being the villain is
not riaht. And I speak from experience of my daughter
being there for 10 years.

we have. And it's about an inch and a half thick. And
it states in here that --talk about education -- and
please bear with me, because I don't have another
opportunity to do it. "Wal-Mart, our commitment to the
communities. Wal-Mart is one of the leading supporters
of education in the United States. Last year Wal-Mart
invested 12.2 million in education. In addition, since
1979, Wal-Mart has contributed $9i million for
scholarship support, local and national causes. Last
year Wal-Mart contributed $196 million or $3.8 million
every week. The Salvation Army raised $14 million last
year from kettles located at Wal-Mart stores. Wal-Mart
and SAM'S Club associates raised and contributed more
than $18 million in 2001 for United Way and $170 million
since 1983."
And there is several other pages. Here is an
interesting one. "Our commitment to responsible
employment. Since the inception of Wal -Mart's profit
sharing plan" -- and my daughter is in that plan -- "in
1972, the inception of Wal -Mart's 401 plans, Wal-Mart
has contributed nearly $3 million toward the retirement
funds of its associates. Wal-Mart is one of the leading
employers of senior citizens in the United States,
employing more than 164,000 associates SS years and
older."
285
286
I
1
And we get to the point where -- this is the
2
California record. Total amount spent with in-state
i
3
suppliers, $6.6 billion. Total state and local taxes
4
paid, 78 million. Sale=_ taxes collected and remitted,
5
520 billion.
6
So to throw that study up of $86 million that
7
the taxpayers supposedly subsidize Wal-Mart employees is
8
just so out of character that it disgusts me, because of
9
all that they do in other ways.
10
Why work for Wal -mart? Specifically, Wal-Mart
11
offers competitive wage, profit sharing, 401 plan, stock
12
ownership, paid vacation and holidays, a discount card,
13
medical and dental coverage, life insurance, accidental
14
death and dismemberment, short and long term disability

insurance, free confidential professional counseling and

assistance, scholarship bonuses, child care and

22
the world's largest corporation. That's not -- someone
23
in the letter that I receiveld said they're not a

when I start out 16 years old, I joined that union. I'm
still in the union of carpenters now for 46 years. So
being union, I know the benefits of having it. But I
can't say to the people of this community, "If you're
not union, we're not going to allow any jobs to come
into 'Rosemead.
To hire 300 people -- and believe me, I've
heard -- I'll go specifically to what Father said.
Don't sell our souls to the Devil. But --
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: This is a
quality -of -life issue, Gary.
MAYOR CLARK: This is not a dialogue.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: I'm stating why I'm going
to support this, because even Father has an obligation
to help the poor. And if we have 7.9 unemployment in
the City of Rosemead, that means 1 out of 12 is
unemployed. In the 2000 census, it was 1 out of 10 was
unemployed. It was 10 percent.
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: 50 -percent turnover,
Gary.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: I don't want to get into a
debate with him, Madam Mayor. But my son worked for
Burger King in the fast food restaurants. And he got it
in his head that I've got to do better than this. So he
quit, and now he's an executive with United Parcel,
287
LEO
1
going from Burger King to Atlanta, Georgia, in their
2
corporate headquarters. People move on as they get the
3
ability to do it. So if they turn over at Wal-Mart, God
4
bless them if they want to move on to a better job.
i
5
The other belief itis something that -- as we
6
get back to our state representatives, this is an
7
article here from the L.A. Times. It's hard to find the
8
i
date on them sometimes. December the 15th, 2003.
9
"Jobless fund crisis to h'it employers. With the reserve
10
badly depleted, businesses in California can expect a
11
50 -percent rise in the rates they pay for unemployment
12
benefits. Governor to request federal bail out. State
I
13
unemployment system is nearly broke. Is California
14
climate getting too chilly for business? Business is
15
leaving the state. Rising costs may make companies
16
leave California. County will assist the jobless."
17
So when it gets down to what can we do for our
18
Rosemead residents, we have a. obligation to provide
19
some employment.
20
And S sympathize wih the people that live in
21
the area as far as the traffic.

points, and that's the WaV T have to do it. Because in
this official record, We've been -threatened with a
lawsuit from the very beginning because "Tae don't want
Wal-Mart" is what some.people say. And that can't be
helped.
So the fact that we're going to have traffic
down there, that is the only site in the entire city
that has 23 acres. The next site is over on Temple City
and Valley; that has six acres.
(Audience interruption.)
MAYOR CLARK: Excuse me. You have had your
chance to speak. And we didn't rebutt what you were
saying. It's Garv's turn now.
And we do have sheriffs that may escort you out
if you want to keep that up.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: You don't want us to have a
chance to explain the fact that there's only two large
parcels left in the entire City of Rosemead. And to go
down there and to put in a Wal-Mart store -- and the
comment's.been made that even if we cut it in half, put
in a mini -type mall with multiple offices, multiple
apartments, high-density housing, you would still get
more traffic coming in there. Maybe not as much, but
you would still have the problem.
And the argument comes up that let's push it

off to somebody else. We don't have somebody else to
push it off. If we go over here -- whether it's richt
down here on Rosemead and Valley, any of those corners,
we've got to go back and condemn houses and -- nothing
is large enough. We can go no place else in the city
without condemning homes and businesses.
And I was elected 30 years ago because 500
homes were put under condemnation in a redevelopment
project area, and the people had no place to go to get
out of it_ And I watched that all going on. So we
decided to run for the council because there was no
other way to stop it. We ran and were elected to the
council'and dissolved that project. And I'm not about
to turn around now and start condemning homes in every
one of these areas. If we were to do it on Rosemead and
Valley, across the street would be houses. Wherever you
go, the project would be built next to houses.
So the fact that Wal-Mart on Delta -- 32 feet
of green area with three rows of trees, ivy planted on
the building. And I need to let you know that the
Glendora store out on Gladstone Avenue is the most --
the closest case that I can make about SAM'S Club, the
direct subsidiary of Wal-Mart, and Home Depot. Those
two stores are bigger than what the Wal-Mart would-be
here in Rosemead. The fact is that they are across the
290
12 q1
1
street from a residential area. They have the sound
2
wall and the trees and the grass that are planted in the
3
front of it. It's only three -years, four -years -old
4
maybe, but it's all landscaped.
S
Kitty-corner, directly across the street from
6
the SFA's Club is the grammar school, a large play
7
around area. And you have to see it yourselves to make
8
the correlation. The school and the SAM'S Club is the
9
same as the school and the Wal-Mart in Rosemead.
1
10
Then two blocks down -- or two blocks between
11
that school is another school for the older -- I think
12
it's a junior high or maybe 'a college or high school.
13
It's only three blocks from 'the SP.M's Club and the Home
14
Depot. It's so identical. And those homes are in
i
15
San Dimas; across the streetlis Glendora.
16
In our case, it's Rosemead on one side of the
17
street and the county area In the other. But if you
18
ever go out -- go out and loiok at it and see the
19
correlation. And the property values out there have
20
gone up.
21
(Audience interruption.)
22
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: It's in the City of
23
Glendora and San Dimas right4 out at the 57 interchange.

Gladstone Boulevard and Lone Hill Avenue. Houses on one
side, SAM's and Home Depot across the street, plus a
Wal-Mart a block from there. Assessed valuation in the
San Dimas housing tract, 1999 total assessed value,
$20 million; 2000, $20,700,000; 2001, $22 million; 2002,
$23 million; 2003, $24 million.
And the housing prices in the same tract in
1999 was $133 per square foot. In 2003 it was $235 a
square foot. So the housing values did not go down ;n'
the last four years. They went from $135 a square foot
to 235. And I think it's important for the homeowners
that are concerned that their values are going to ao
down. That's not, in my opinion, true. Not just'my
opinion, but the report.
So Madam Mayor, if somebody else has -- I don't
want -- there is more.
MAYOR CLARK: Are there comments from the
Council?
COUNCILMAN ALARCON: Yes. I do have some
comments.
You know, I empathize with these people. I'm.
not sympathizing. I'm empathize with you. I know you
don't want it in your backyard; that's the bottom line.

And another thing. You know, we collect
everything we can. It's over two -feet high. Here's an
L.A. Times article, August 16th, where more than
2 million adults in Los Angels County lack any kind of
health insurance. And they don't all work at Wal-Mart.
You know, we pick all this stuff up_ And my
main concern is doing my job' for the city and not worry
about keeping my job. And.the recalls don't scare me,
okay. Thank you.

COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Did Joe have anything more
t
to say?
COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ: No. That's it.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR:. Madam Mayor, the Ralph's
store closing, we did -- four years ago we started
working on the Ralph's store' because Ralph's has
intended to close that store. We heard about that and
we contacted Food 4 Less. And Kroger.Grocery Store at
that time was Number 1 or Number 2 in the nation, as far
as grocery stores go.
But just.to state here, this is -- the last
document that we had, April the 6th -- not the last one.
April the 6th, 2004. And Mr. Gast, G -a -s -t, was a
representative of the Ralph's -- of the real estate
}
company that was working with Ralph's. For a previous

conversation with Mr. Tom Gast, Ralph's vice president
of real estate. Mr. Gast, who has over 25 years of real
estate experience with Alpha Beta and later Ralph's --
they're all under Kroger -- has disposed of over 120
stores during his career, offered us some observation=_
on the reasoning behind the store closure_ and what
process we can expect to see.
He indicated the reasons for closure of the
Rosemead store was a combination of declining sales,
changing demographics -- "changing demographics" is
people -- and characteristics of the customer base.
Characteristics of the customer base, they weren't
meeting their market demand. And the limited size of
the store. He indicated that the sales margins and
markets are not there to justify continued operations
according to the number crunchers.
Now, this started four years ago, before
Wal-Mart was even coming to the city. That came in June
of 2001. June of 2004 is three years. So we were
working on Ralphs before that.
But then to top it off, we tried to get a
Food 4 Less or a Ralph's moved over to the six -acre site
on San Gabriel -- excuse me, on Valley Boulevard and
Temple City Boulevard. Well, in order to do that, the
developer, they wanted the City or the agency to buy the

land at a loss -- at a write down of $2.3 to $5.8. They
wanted us to take taxpayers' money and give it to them,.
And then they also wanted all of the sales tax for 20
years. They also wanted all the property taxes for 20
years. And no, we don't do that.
We take the property taxes. We take the sales
taxes. We go $3 to $5 million in the hole. Use the
I
taxpayers' money to subsidize that store, and then make
any other remaining stores pay their own taxes, pay the
sales taxes. We weren't going to go for that_ And that
isn't right. j
Wal-Mart is coming in with no subsidy- It's a
free -enterprise system. And30years ago I ran on that
i
record. Free enterprise, noicondemnation of homes and
properties. And we haven't had a development in almost
30 years. Not because we didn't want it, but because we
respected the homeowner. Wel were not going to condemn
their homes for some business that wanted to take it
away.
So when we come down to building on a vacant
lot down there, there will bl extra traffic. I'm not
going to deny that. But we'le not going to condemn any
businesses. We're not goinglto condemn homes. So I
have to make a tradeoff. I ,know it's going to cost me
the friends that helped elect me 30 years ago, but those

same friends told me, "We don't want any homes
condemned. We don't want businesses condemned_" And
now I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I'm not going
to pass up the only opportunity that we have to help the
city. And our sales tax for the last 10 to 15 years has
been almost flat. So I'm not going to give up the
chance of helping 55,000 people in this city by getting
a 25 -percent increase in the taxes.
And I'm not doing it bitterly to say I don't
care about the residents. That's not true. I care, but
I have to make a choice.
MAYOR CLARK: All right. I'm going to take
this opportunity to sav what I was going to sav at the
beginning of the meeting. It's not going to be popular,
but I do plan to vote in favor of this because of the
jobs that are needed. We have a very bad economic
situation with unemployment, and we need shopping
opportunities that we do not have. People tell me all
the time that they need places to shop.
And the fact that the tax base that we need for
this community -- we have been able to keep Rosemead
from having any kind of utility user fees or other
taxes, unlike a lot of our neighboring cities. And if.
we don't -- if the State continues to take our money, as
they have in the past years -- for the last 10, 12

MAYOR CLARK: There''s a lot of anger and
14
passion in this room_ And I'hope that you will channel,
15
at least some of it, to the real root problem. This
16
Council, as a matter of fact at my urging, in the early
17
'90s when NAFTA and GATT were
going through -- and
18
"GATT" is the General Acreement.on
Tariffs and Trade.

So the
22 I products can be manufacturedlin third -world countries
23 1 that do not have to comply with the environmental
24 regulations, the social regulations, and the labor
25 regulations. And therefore, businesses are moving.

We just had this article here about the Libby
Glass Company moving to China. And the other one, the
Pacific Precision Metals here is moving to Mexico,
because they find it's cheaper. They don't have to
comply with our regulations.
And I stood -- I and this Council stood with
labor and with the environmentalists against those
treaties. And there still are things that can be done .
to overturn those, but people need to hear about it.
And I hope that you will not think that just stopping
Wal-Mart would solve the problem. You might win a
battle here and there, but you lose the war. And I'm
very passionate about this, because this is why we are
losing businesses to other countries, because they don't
have to comply with all the regulations that we do.
So please, that's what I wanted to say earlier.
And I want to light a fire under you also.
So the other issue, real quickly, is that on
air quality issues -- I sit on the South Coast Air
Quality Manaaement District local government small
business committee, and we studied the effect of the
regulations on businesses. And the Air Quality
Management District is very frustrated.because all they
have jurisdiction over is stationary sources, the
businesses. So thev can keep squeezing the small
298
299
1
businesses. But thev have no jurisdiction over the
2
planes, the trains, the ships that cause --.and mobile
3
sources, trucks. And those are federal and state
4
jurisdiction.
5
So those two entities need to be lobbied on
6
these issues to improve our air quality.
7
And so I hope that-somehow some of your
8
frustration can be channeled at those two issues,
9
because they are extremely important. And our hands are
a
10
totally tied on thosetwo issues. And I appreciate your
11
listening.

COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Mayor.
13
MAYOR CLARK: Yes.
14
R
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: IMr..Tran made a comment
15
about having to go shop elsewhere, and they left of
16
their own free choosing. I laid I was going to bring up
17
these comments. And maybe they didn't want to be here,
18
then they don't have to answer for it.
19
But in the Tribune, February 28th, '03, we had
20
a Ralph's store at that time negotiating to try to keep
21
them. Mr. Tran stated, "If we want to eat somewhere
22
nice, we have to go to Arcadiia. And if we want to go to
23
the supermarket, we go into Alhambra."
1
24
We want to shop in our city. We've lost the
25
Ralph's. He's opposed to thle Wal-Mart shopping center.

He's opposed to the market coming i.. So you stop and
think, a city of 55,000 people without a major store to
shop in.
And Beaches is a nice local store. I've been
in that -- it's been there for 50, 55 years. And the
99 -- excuse me -- the -- what's the store across the
street there? No. I was in it.
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: On Jackson Street.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: No. Right on -- it's kind
of embarrassing. A senior moment. What is that
restaurant on South -- we all know, but --
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: 99 Market.
COUNCILMAN TAYLOR: Okay. We have -- those are
the last two stores that have any size in the City of
Rosemead. So for the life of me -- it's a new shopping
center. Maybe it's three, four years down the road, but
it'll be a grocery store that all the residents can
shop in. And when Mr. Tran claims that he has to leave
the city to go to shop at a grocery store, it bewilders
me.
The other thing I wanted to say, that the
Rosemead City Council and the Garvey School Board -- the
Garvey School Board is trying to get taxpayer money out
of the City because they don't have enough money. They
want us.to fund their programs. And then they turn

around and say, we don't need the $86,000, whatever it
may be, that they will get from the tax increment.
So there's a lot of lack of knowledge of how
the money can come in. Mr. Tran doesn't want the
86,000. He doesn't want the shopping market. So he
stands up here and says he's running for City Council.
He's not running against me. He did it last time.
MAYOR CLARK: Did you want to --
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: Yeah. Mr. Tran did not
say that some of the same people in this group here that
might be on the opposite side stopped him from a loan he
{
was going to take. He was going to tear down two
perfectly good schools so he'could put a high school in
there and become a school district. He didn't say that.
MAYOR CLARK: I think we probably should get
off discussing candidacy. ,
But is there anything else that any
Councilmember wants to speak on the issue?
COUNCILMAN 'TAYLOR.: Madam Mayor, there is one
thing that's going to come up. And I would like to have
this in the record_
The gas station will probably not go in. But I
need to have it in the retort!t the fact that since I've
t
lived in Rosemead, we've closed 22 gas stations. As an
i
example, north of the freeway, there is only one gas

station left, the Mobil gas station on the corner of
Rosemead and Valley, right down the street one block.
But again -- I'm not picking a number out of
the air. ,For the record, the ARCO or the Thrift,
station on the northeast corner of Temple City Boulevard
and Valley, it's vacant and fenced. It's been that way
for six to eight years. They want the City to pay
$5 million -- this was at.the Ralph.'s complex. ARCO
says that they have to pay -- they have to receive
$500,000 a year payments for somebody to come into that
gas station. If we were to buy it, that one gas
station, they want $5 million from the Citv• That's
closed and fenced.
The Union Station on the southwest corner of
Temple City Boulevard and Valley is vacant and fenced as
of last year.
On the northwest corner of Temple City and
Valley, there's now an auto service. That was a gas
station that was closed.
The southeast corner of Temple City Boulevard
and Valley, that was a Mobil Station. That is now a
mini -mall.
All four of those gas stations are gone.
The southeast corner of Mission and Rosemead
Boulevard, that used to be a Shell gas station. It's
302

now Tn 'n
Out fast food.
2
The ARCO across the street, the
southwest
3
corner of
Mission and Rosemead, is now a
truck rental.
4
The northwest corner of Mission
and Rosemead
5
Boulevard
-- question mark whether it was
a Chevron or
6
Standard
-- is now a mini-mal€l. The west
side of
7
Rosemead
Boulevard at lower Azusa is now
an auto
8
service.
That was a Texaco station.
9
Northwest corner of �R.osemead and
Valley, there
10
was a Union
Gas Station one block down.
That's fenced
11 1 in and gone.
12 The Shell station, northwest corner of Glendon
13 Way and Rosemead -- Glendon Way and -- excuse me. Oh,
14 Glendon Way and Rosemead, that's right down on the
'15 corner before you go on the --reeway, that was a Shell
t
16 station_ And it's closed.
17 The northeast corner of _Rosemead and Glendon
18 Way, the car wash, that was aI gas station. I believe it
19 was Texaco. I
20 The Shell station on the northwest corner of
r
21 Valley and Muscatel across the street from --
22 kitty-corner from the library -- and there is a closed
23 restaurant. I can't remember the name of it. But that

Delta, it's now a little retail store.
'The southwest corner of Valley and Walnut
Grove, where they just tore it down to build a
McDonald's, that sat vacant for six to eight years and
was fenced in.
So in the northern part of the city, all of
those stations have been closed because they were small
lots. They couldn't develop them. They couldn't meet
the new safety requirements for removing the tanks.
Over the years, this has happened. But that's 13 of
them north of the freeway, and we only have one now, the
Mobil.
You go south of the freeway, southwest corner
of San Gabriel Boulevard and Heiman, it's now an auto
service. And I don't remember which --
(Audience interruption_)
COUNCILMANTAYLOR: I don't remember what the
name of that station was. But the Shell on the
southwest corner of Walnut Grove and Heiman -- Walnut
Grove and Heiman, that's right across from the State
Storage Yard, just as you go up under the freeway. And
now it's a little mini -mall in there.
The southeast corner of Garvey and San Gabriel,
it's now a new Walgreens going in. That used to be an
ARCO.
:04

i
1
The northeast corner of Garvey and San Gabriel
2
Boulevard is now a mini -mall. And I don't remember the
3
name of that station.
4
On the northwest corner, San Gabriel and
5
Garvey, was a Mobil. And that's now a Burger Kira.
6
The south side of Garvev between Denton and
7
Kelburn, right across from the auto auction, that was an
8
off -brand gas station -
9
The northwest corner of San Gabriel Boulevard
10
and Merced Road, that's one block north of Rush Street
11
on the northwest corner there. The gas station is still
12
there. It's been a repair yard for probably 15, 20
13
_years.
14
Northwest corner of San Gabriel and Walnut
15
Grove -- San Gabriel and Walnut Grove, okay, that's the
16
office complexes that are right across from the Mobil_
17
i
That was a Standard gas station.
18
And it's a total of 22 closed gas stations over
19
the years. And we've never had the opportunity -- it
20
cost $500,000 to $1 million to put in a station. My
21
brother-in-law has had five Shell stations, and they've
22
forced them out of business. And they want Shell to own
23
them.
24
So that's one of the reasons I'm in favor of
25the
gas station because, again, it's for the benefit of

all the residents of Rosemead.
And not only that, people on the south side of
Delta, the Shell on the east side of San Gabriel
Boulevard where the Pomona Freeway is, it's now a
McDonald's. But that used to be a Shell station.
The Mobil Station on the northeast corner of
San Gabriel and Paramount Boulevard, it's vacant and
fenced right now.
As you go down, the northeast corner of
San Gabriel and Valley -- northe=ast corner of
San Gabriel and Valley, that was a Mobil Station_
They've now built offices. That's going over to
San Gabriel Boulevard.
The northwest corner of San Gabriel Boulevard
and Valley, that was a Standard station. It's now a
mini -mall.
The southwest corner of Valley Boulevard and
Baldwin, if you go just over the wash, it was an ARCO.
It's closed.
Shell, the southeast corner of valley and
Baldwin.
So 22, 24, 26 -- 28 cas stations right in our
area. And I only say it because here is an opportunity
where a new high -service 16 pump could come into the
city. And incidentally, the highest priced gas is the
00
307
Mobil station made reference to that's three-quarters of
2
a mile south_ That's the highest priced gas station out
3
of 13 that I surveyed. 4 to 10 cents a gallon.
e
And the Circle K down on Walnut Grove and
5
Garvey has two pumps with four hoses. That's all that's
6
on that.
7
Then you have a Standard station in operation
8
on Heiman and Del Mar, and then an ARCO one block down
9
on Del Mar. That's the extent of the gas stations,
10
other than the 7-11 that opened 18 months ago. And that
11
gas station sat vacant for seven to eight years also.
i
12
So I just wanted it in the record that I believe the
13
residents are entitled to a gas station. And that's all
14
I have on the gas station.
15
MAYOR CLARK: We're not ready for a vote yet.

Okay. The city attorney is determining whether
17
there are things it's required to read into the record.

the items that will be added to the record. There's

today. There's an agenda, which has been signed by
Lin Chung -- Chang, Peter Chang, Steven Chang indicating
that the project will impact them. And there were also
a CD and a video submitted by Mr. Gate, and additional
petitions, both for and against the project. Those will
be added to the record.
Several items were raised tonight, claims that
we -- Gloria Romero claims that we purported to mitigate
-- the Citv to mitigate all the conditions on 60 by
adding a couple of traffic lights_ Actually, the Staff
recommendation is to do the statement of overriding
consideration. There is nothing we can do to mitigate
those measures, and we have not been provided enough
information from Caltrans to provide any sort of
impact --
(Audience interruption.)
MR.. WALLIN: -- illegal to exact an impact fee,
the information that we have.
1 don't really think that -- I think that
everything that was raised tonight has been adequately
addressed in the record_ Unless any members of Staff
feels there's something to be added, 1 think we can
proceed with an explanation of the order of
consideration.
MAYOR CLARK: All right. On 23, consideration
308
I
1
of Resolution 2004-36 -- are you going to .read t-mat or
2
am I?
3
MR_ WALLIN: I was going to go into the
a
explanation of the order. We -- actually, the City
5
Council has five action items before it tonight.
6
The first action would be in connection with
7
the Environmental Impact Report. Before you can take
8
any action approving a project, you must fir=_t consider
9
the Environmental Impact Report. Resolution No. 2004-36
10
is a resolution that certifies the Environmental Impact
11
Report. After that is voted on, we'll move to three
12
other items: a Resolution No. 2004-37, which will
13
approve the General Plan Amendment.
14
The second Resolution No. 38, which will
i
15
approve the tentative map, deny the service station CUP,
16
approve the alcohol sales CUP and the mini-mall CUP.
17
And that will also uphold thii decision of the Planning
18
Commission_ 1
19
The final resolution we'll be actinc on will be
20
a resolution which is required under the Environmental
21
Quality Act. Whenever you approve a project which has
22
measures that cannot be mitigated, you have to adopt a
23
statement of overriding cons Iiderations_ You also have
24
to make certain findings, adopt the mitigation
`
25
monitoring program, and other matters that are included

in that resolution.
So we can act on all three of those resolutions
in one motion.
The final action to be taken by the Council
will be introduction of Ordinance No. 836, which is the
ordinance which approves a development agreement which
would Grant Wal-Mart these entitlements. They would
have the ability to complete the center, and they have
to commence construction of the department store -- face
of it within three years.
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: We're talking about
Items 1, 2 and 3.
MR.. WALLIN: The first matter to be considered
would be the ETR, Resolution No. 2004-36.
COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL: Move for approval?
MR. WALLIN: Yeah. Do Vou want -- if you'd
like, I will read it.
