A. The installation of street improvement on the south/
side of Marshall Street from Muscatel to Lee Street
and from Lee Street to Rosemead Boulevard.
Robert Dickey, Assistant Manager, stated that at the last
Council Meeting action was deferred on installation of improve-
ments until a determination could be made as to the transplant-
ing of five existing'palm trees. Most of the companies contacted
stated that they 'could not guarantee that the trees would survive,
but James Cowen stated that he would do the job and the trees
would live for $1000.
Councilman Hunter inquired if the street could not be
designed around these trees instead'of taking a chance that
the trees might not live.if moved.
Mike Scott, Scott & Associates, stated that the street im-
provement would simply tie in with the existing curbs that are
already in place, and as far as the trees are concerned there
are two possible ways to handle this problem--one to transplant
palm trees or to,,purchase the same specie and planting them.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HUNTER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL
that the guarantee that the trees will be transplanted and.if the
trees do not live they will be replaced with the same kind of
trees be in writing, and if.these.-stipulations are agreed to then
James Cowen be authorized to proceed. Vote resulted:

The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.

VI. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS
A. Mayor Taylor commented that an item dealing primarily
with the Fire Departments was requested to be placed on the Agenda.
With the possibility of both Fire Stations in the City of Rosemead
may be closed down, he requested input from the Councils.and;the
City Manager of what alternatives the City has, and what guarantees
the County is going to provide the City for Fire protection.
F.r.ank G•.•Tripepi, City Manager, stated that the City with
Council's approval will take this avenue--the citizens are•,in
the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Rosemead, theista-
tion, the equipment has been paid for and does not belong to
the County. If the stations are closed, the equipment and the
facilities should remain and the City would be faced with the
staffing,of those particular stations. He also stated at the
present time there are a number of bills being presented includ-
ing SB-154 which is dealing with appropriation of State surplus
funds.
Bob Sarno, Fire Chief, stated that he hoped that funding
would be received from either the State or the County to prevent
proposition #13 impact on the Fire Department. Board of Super-
visors have assured us that they would be funded, but how much
is not known. Sacramento has claimed that 857o would be returned
to the District and both stations would be able to provide fire
protection. to the City of Rosemead, but right now there has been
given an ultimatum to work within $17,000,000.
Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, asked if the City could
contract for the manning of the facilities.
Chief Sarno answered affirmatively.
Mayor Taylor requested input from the Council as to what,
they felt would be most important, and possibly there could be
additional information presented regarding this issue by the
Council Meeting which will be held Tuesday, June 20, 1978.

body is required to approve the Dlspositon,:and

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
1. Mervyn Kennedy, 9139 E. Marshall, commented on Proposition #13
and felt that a Resolution shouldi.be adopted by the Council stating
that it was State initiated.,'.and-the State should be obligated to
fund the cities where contrac-tls between the Contract Cities and the
County were negotiated for police and fire protection so that
these services can be continued.
Mayor Taylor stated that he felt that we should not be in the
position to take it all back from the State, but they we should not
ask them to pass more taxes. We should allow them to work outc+.a
solution.
