1. PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE
The City Council will receive public comments on matters not listed on the agenda.
2. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Annual Action Plan for Federally- Funded Programs for the Fiscal Year 2014.2015
The City Council will conduct its required annual public hearing regarding the projected use
of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership
(HOME) funds for the upcoming 2014 -15 fiscal year. The U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) has not yet announced the final amounts to be allocated to
participating communities; however, cities have been warned that Congress will again make
cuts to these programs.
Under federal regulations, no more than 15% of the CDBG allocation can be used for "social
service" activities. Written proposals have been received from four (4) organizations that
are current recipients, which include Family Promise, Family Service, People for People, and
Southern California Housing Rights Center. Due to impending federal funding reductions,
allocations to social service agencies may need to be reduced or in some cases eliminated.
Recommendation: That the City Council conduct a public hearing and take public
testimony on the Annual Action Plan covering the period July 1, 2014 — June 30, 2015. No
further City Council action is necessary.

D. Rosemead Park Basketball Court Improvement Project — Award of Contract
As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2013 -14 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council
approved the "Rosemead Park Improvements Project'. The project identifies several
elements of Rosemead Park that need improvement, including playground equipment, the
north parking lot, court lighting, and the basketball courts. At this time, bids have been
solicited to improve the basketball courts, which are apopular park amenity for the
community. The existing court surface is in dire need of replacement, with portions of the
concrete surface that are cracked and uneven. In addition to replacing the basketball court,
the project will include the replacement of basketball hoops and the creation of a seat wall on
the east side of the courts in order to create a spectator friendly seating area. Funding for
this project is provided through bond proceeds.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Rosemead Park Improvements Project p
Basketball Courts; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with PK Construction in the amount
of $117,227.50. In addition, authorize an amount of $17,585 (approximately 15 %) as a
contingency to cover the cost of unforeseen construction expenses.

4. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. Mid -Year Budget Update and 2014.15 Outlook
The Council will be provided with a mid -year Budget update presentation regarding the
current 2013 -2014 fiscal year Budget along with a brief look towards the upcoming fiscal
year. In terms of the General Fund, revenues have proven to be stable and are generally in
line with budgeted projections. Sales tax revenues are growing moderately as expected and
property tax revenues have been relatively stable. General fund expenditures are remaining
in line with budgeted figures and staff has implemented cost savings measures when
available. It is important to point out that the Budget includes expenditures from fund
balance for certain capital improvement projects such as the Garvey Gym renovation;
therefore, expenditures are projected to exceed revenues at the end of the fiscal year.
An early look at revenues for 2014 -15 show signs of stagnation due to flat inflation and the
consumer price index. The opening of all the new restaurants and businesses has been
offset somewhat by the closure of some retail outlets such as Office Depot, which will result
in continued slow growth of sales tax revenue. Property tax revenue increases will rely
heavily on residential sales as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase will be minimal.
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the mid -year budget update and
approve Resolution No. 2014 -04, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD APPROVING VARIOUS APPROPRIATIONS
B. Updated Strategic Plan for 2014 and 2015
Over the past five years, the efforts of the City Council, Commissions and staff have been
guided by a process of strategic planning. The City's Strategic Plan was first adopted in
December 2009; and, in January 2012 the document was updated for a two -year period
through 2013. In recent months and weeks, the City Council has conducted three
workshops, including the recent January 28th joint meeting with the Planning Commission
and Traffic Commission, for the purpose of updating the City's Strategic Plan for another
two -year period.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the updated Strategic Plan for 2014 and
2015.
