A Public meeting was held at the Zapopan Community Center, 3018 North Charlotte
Avenue, Rosemead, at 7:00 P.M. to discuss and solicit citizen input for'the
Community Development Block Grant Program, (CDBG).
Robert Dickey, Assistant City Manager introduced Al Warot, the City Consultant
for the CDBG Program, and Silvia Camerena who could provide spanish translation,
if necessary. Mr. Dickey indicated that the purpose of the meeting was to solicit
public recommendations for the use of the CDBG funds.
There were six people in attendance and we asked how they heard of the meeting.
One person indicated that. they read the notice on the public posting bulletin
boards and the others indicated that they had read an article in the newspaper
concerning the public meeting.
Mr. Warot, Willdan Associates Consultant for the program explained Rosemead's
participation in prior years and the present use of the funds. The participants
were invited to review the list of eligible and ineligible projects and to comment
on the proposed use of the'funds.
Several in the audience expressed that they thought the Home Improvement Programs
were the best. Mrs. Banuelos stated that they had applied for a low-interest loan,
but could not accept because something else came up. She asked if she could re-
apply. Mr. Warot advised that the Housing Rehabilitation Inspector would call her
to arrange an appointment.
Mr. Quiroz said he applied, but did not qualify for the Handyman Program and he
asked if the income requirements had changed. Mr. Warot stated that HUD had
recently sent out a new list, but he did not have it with him. Mr. Warot stated
that the Housing Rehabilitation Inspector would contact him.
Mrs. Torres and Mrs. Gallagher indicated they were in favor of the program, but
wanted to be contacted about the Housing Program. Mr. Warot said he would be
sure they were called.
Those in attendance were invited to call Robert Dickey if they had recommendations
for use of the CDBG funds. Another Public Hearing was scheduled for April 12, 1983,
to present the proposed Program and citizen input.
