Mr. Gale Carr of Envista addressed the Council summarizing the draft
staff report and answering questions relative to the program.
Among the items clarified were:
1) The $150,000 for processing the 312 Loans is administrative money only.
The Loans would be handled by a separate agency (possibly a bank) and treated
similar to the FHA Loan Program.
2) Determined that the Local Legislative Body (City Council) would have the final
say on any development as a result of this program.
3) That the National Goal of the Program is adequate Housing and improvements
to business conducive to residential areas..stating an educated feeling that
Rosemead need only have a program to rehabilitate much of the residential
