of the City’s Fiscal Year 2010-11 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved funding to renovate and expand the parking lot adjacent to the Rosemead Community Recreation
Center and Public Library. This project will include the complete rehabilitation of the parking lot area including revamped pedestrian corridors, ADA access, drainage, landscaping/lighting,
traffic circulation, and the creation of a public plaza. The existing parking lot is over thirty (30) years old and is extremely deteriorated, with extensive pavement damage, drainage
problems, and traffic circulation problems. On April 12, 2011, the City Council reviewed conceptual plans and provided direction to staff on elements to include in the parking lot are
underway and are expected to be advertised for bids beginning May 12, 2011. Due to the detailed nature of the design of the proposed public plaza (water features, lighting elements and
specialized paving elements), it is necessary to retain professional design services for this portion of the project. The design services will include the preparation of construction
drawings, the demolition plan, project specifications, and coordination of all design elements in the public plaza. Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager
to enter into a contract with Lawrence Moss and Associates, Inc. for professional design and landscape architectural services for the completion of the Downtown Plaza project for an
amount of not-not-to-exceed $69,525. 2. Establish a contingency amount of $10,430 (approximately 15%) for potential additional services on an as-needed, hourly basis.
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JOINT MEETING AGENDA May 10, 2011 Page 8 of 9 B. Annual Comprehensive Fee Resolution Update The City provides various “individualized”
services (i.e. inspections, permits, variances, etc.) that are not of general benefit. Historically, many of these services have been provided at a city cost greater than the price being
charged for them thus resulting in subsidies of the remaining costs of service from the general taxpayers. As a matter of routine fee maintenance and to keep pace with increasing costs
of individualized services, the fees charged to users need to be reviewed on a regular basis, preferably each year. In the interest of being responsive to the service needs of Rosemead
residents and businesses; not all fees need to be adjusted and some are controlled by statute. Consequently, not every Rosemead fee is being recommended for an adjustment this year.
All fees, including the adjusted fees, are included in the Annual Comprehensive Fee Schedule contained in Resolution No. 2011-19. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the Annual
Comprehensive Fee Schedule contained in Resolution No. 2011-19, for FY 2011-12 10. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL A. Consideration for Naming a Future Park Site--Jay Imperial Park
The City Council will consider naming the future park site on the west side of San Gabriel Blvd., south of Garvey Avenue and north of Rush Street, as “Jay Imperial Park” in honor of
the former Rosemead Mayor and City Council Member. Funding to initiate development of this future park site is included in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget for the current fiscal
year and unexpended funds will be carried over to the CIP budget for the upcoming 2011-12 Fiscal Year. Design work for the park is in progress and a long-term lease agreement with Southern
California Edison (SCE) for use of the property will be in place in the near future. Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction relative to this matter. 11. ADJOURNMENT
The next regular joint Community Development Commission and City Council meeting is scheduled to take place on May 24, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., respectively.
