Holly Knapp, 8367 E. Whitmore, spoke against the project in general. Marshall Krupp of Willdan Associates commented on the im- provements made-on the 28,homes in the City of,Rosemead,.and notices of completion will be recorded after this meeting. Marshall Krupp introduced Jim Guerra who handled the entire program with the citizens involved and the program was in general a success. Marshall Krupp stated that it is required by law that this program be explained in some detail and should•be clearly defined to the citizens. Mr.'Krupp stated that this 1981-82 Program is the 3rd-year of a three year program and it will create approxi- mately $720,000.00 that will be allocated to the City based upon a reimbursement agreement.` The City does not receive the money automatically. The City has to show that it has met the guide- lines and the project scope that it has identified and it has encumbered the expense. Once the expense is encumbered the County will reimburse the City for the funds that have been expended based upon a contract between the County and the City. The 1981-82 program is broken up into four areas. 1. Street Improvment Programs with a total $445,000. 2. Housing Rehabili- tation Program with $200,000. 3. Graffiti Removal Program which is a continuation of a program with $10,000 for maintenance. 4. Administrative Costs and Contingency Funds for $65,000. This is a conceptual program and is not a detailed program which will be brought back during the 1980-81 year and create a detailed budget for each of those areas. Marshall Krupp stated that these funds are Federal Funds, but they are not being applied for through HUD, but with the County of Los Angeles who monitors the program. He stated that the City of. Rosemead has their fair share of low and moderate income families and housing and as such is eligible for funding and is such would not fall under the guidelines where the County would require the construction of new housing. Juan Nunez, 2704 Del Mar, inquired about the Noticing of the prior meeting regarding this HCDA Program. Mayor Tury stated that a very strong effort is made to notify as many residents as possible of Public Hearings by publishing the notices and posting them at the various locations in the City. He inquired if there was anyone else who would care to speak on this subje'ct..-No.one came forward. The Public Hearing was closed. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CICHY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HUNTER that the Consultants report be accepted and the recommendations as presented be approved:' Vote resulted: AYES: Councilmen Hunter, Cichy and Mayor Tury NAYES:. Councilmen Imperial and Taylor ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilman Taylor requested that the record show that his "no" vote is against the Federal Housing Regulations and stated that the Council is using some good sense in the street improve- ments and the Handyman Program, but they are only using,for dis- cussion purposes, half of the HCDA program and it is kind of like a game of Russian Roulette, we spin the chamber and we take the money each year hoping that they won't enforce the rules. There is another half to this program and that is the code enforcement program and other cities have dropped out and it seems we take a chance. Again he could not criticize his fellow councilmen for taking the funds, the residents of Rosemead are entitled to these funds to the extent that if we look at the program the monies are CM 10-14-80 Page #2 • • collected by the Federal Government. We have our own Street Improvement Program that is almost like a double funding. The Federal Agency collects the money and returns it back to the citizen but in that same program they have the Housing Program which become mandatory code enforcement programs. This is why he voted "no" on this particular matter. B.
