D. Transmittal of FY 2012 -13 City of Rosemead and Rosemead Housing Corporation
Annual Financial Reports
This is to transmit the FY 2012 -13 annual financial reports for the City of Rosemead and the
Rosemead Housing Development Corporation to the City Council. The attached reports
provide a complete presentation of the finances of each of the above mentioned
organizations. The 2012 -13 Fiscal Year was a year of recovery for the City's General Fund.
Due to many large one -time revenue payments along with an improved economic base, the
City was able to put money back into reserves at the conclusion of the fiscal year. As noted
on page 20 of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), the General Fund
collected $2.796 million more than was expended, increasing the fund balance from $14.8
million to $17.6 million. While some of these funds have been programmed in the 2013 -14
Fiscal Year for much needed capital improvement projects such as the renovation of the
Garvey Gym and remodel work at City Hall, the majority of these funds will remain in the
fund balance to rebuild reserves.
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the City of Rosemead
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and the Rosemead Housing Development
Corporation Annual Financial and Compliance Report for the 2012 -13 Fiscal Year.
E. Installation of Keep Clear Markings — Temple City Boulevard at Ellis Avenue
The Traffic Commission recently reviewed a request from residents to evaluate traffic
conditions at the intersection of Temple City Boulevard and Ellis Lane. This review was
initiated due to concerns that the existing intersection configuration creates visibility
constraints for motorists turning from Ellis Lane onto Temple City Boulevard. Based on the
review of these conditions, it was determined that the addition of a "Keep Clear" zone would
help improve visibility for tuning vehicles. The Traffic Commission concurred with this
recommendation.
Recommendation: That the City Council_ approve the Traffic Commission's
recommendation and authorize staff to install "Keep Clear' pavement markings in the
northbound travel lanes of Temple City Drive, with limit lines parallel to the intersection at
Ellis Lane.
F. Installation of Keep Clear Markings — Mission Drive (Rosemead High School)
The Traffic Commission recently reviewed a request from residents to evaluate traffic
conditions and access adjacent to Rosemead High School on Mission Drive. Mission Drive
serves as the main entrance to the school, including a drop -off and pick -up zone at the
westerly parking lot adjacent to the school entrance. Currently, there are existing "Keep
Clear' zones that serve the parking lots along the eastern section of the campus and help to
improve traffic flow. It was requested that an additional "Keep Clear' zone be added to help
improve access to the westerly driveway. Based on the review of the information, the Traffic
Commission concurred with the recommendation to install an additional "Keep Clear' zone.

G. Installation of Parking Restrictions — 3114 Jackson Avenue
The Traffic Commission recently reviewed a request to evaluate traffic conditions and access
to the properly at 3114 Jackson Avenue. The resident at this location indicated that there is
a lack of visibility when entering and exiting his property due to parked vehicles. Based on a
review of the existing conditions, it was determined that the addition of red curbing would
help improve visibility and prevent vehicles from parking over the property's driveway. The
Traffic Commission approved the recommendation to install approximately 5 feet of red
curbing on either side of the driveway of the residence at 3114 Jackson Avenue.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the Traffic Commission's
recommendation to install approximately 5 feet of red curbing on either side of the driveway
of the residence at 3114 Jackson.

5. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
