A. The CDBG and HOME Programs Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2012 -13
A public hearing is being held tonight for review and approval of the City's Annual Action
Plan for the period of July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013. The City has been notified by HUD that
the City of Rosemead will be incurring a 34.25% cut to its current $1,037,683 allocation of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and a 52.39% cut to its current
$480,683 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds allocation. This means the total
funds available in the FY 2012 -13 for CDBG will be reduced to $682,256 and for HOME will
be reduced to $228,955. Unfortunately, the drastic cuts to these federal programs will
prohibit the funding of many previously funded activities while others will be severely
reduced.

6. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. 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.
A list of all fees is presented in Resolution No. 2012 -31 "Annual Comprehensive Fee
Schedule ".
Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2012 -31, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE
OF FEES AND CHARGES ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
