MATTERS FROM STAFF OF THE ROSEMEAD SUCCESSOR AGENCY Capital Improvement Projects Funded by Existing Bond Proceeds The Successor Agency received its Finding of Completion (FOC) on April 18, 2013.

Staff is seeking direction from the Oversight Board to ciAnn the inclusion of the capital improvement projects on the ROPS and authorize the staff to move forward with the projects in a manner consistent with the City's municipal code.
