These juveniles may have problems ranging from school performance and attendance to vandalism, theft and drug arrests. The DPO’s authority allows them to work closely with the juveniles and their families to implement a variety of programs and services to help correct their behavior. The agreement shall be effective from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 with a total cost of $136,000.

ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION JOINT MEETING AGENDA June 14, 2011 Page 6 of 8 D. City Clerk Contract Amendment On May 24, 2011, the City Council conducted an annual review of the City Clerk’s job performance and provided a rating of Substantially Exceeds Expectations. The City’s established policies and procedures for merit salary adjustments apply to the City Clerk in the same manner as all other full-time employees. Under the City’s compensation system, a performance rating of Substantially Exceeds Expectations equates to a merit salary adjustment of 5% within the salary range. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the Third Amendment to the City Clerk Employment Agreement regarding the salary adjustment within the salary range for the City Clerk effective on June 14, 2011.

The City will receive $1,900 monthly for the first term with an adjustment, at the start of each term, of 15% of the monthly fee paid for the previous term. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a license agreement with Metro PCS Networks California, LLC, for a wireless telecommunications facility at Garvey Park. F. Used Oil Payment Program Application The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act of 1991 authorizes the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), formerly known as the California Integrated Waste Management Board, to award grants to enhance the collection and recycling of used lubricating oil. Rosemead is eligible to apply under the Used Oily Payment Program for the July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012 fiscal year. It is anticipated that these grant funds will be utilized for the promotion of the City’s Statecertified collection centers, development of education awareness materials, and assistance in the recruitment of additional collection facilities.

FY 2010-11 Budget Amendments The budget is a financial plan that is compiled through a process that begins several months before the fiscal year begins. Because the budget is prepared using estimates and assumptions made well in advance of the fiscal year, it is necessary to amend the budget to appropriate funds for unforeseen costs experienced during the year. Expenditures that require an appropriation amendment have been approved by the City Council but still need an appropriation as a matter of legal compliance. This amendment request is a routine “housekeeping” procedure typically done in the middle and end of the fiscal year.
