5. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. CDBG and HOME Programs FY 2014.2015 Annual Action Plan
On February 11, 2014, the City Council conducted a public hearing to receive input on the
development of the City's Annual Action Plan for the period of July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015.
Three (3) social service organizations (Family Counseling Services, Family Promise, and
People for People) made presentations at the public hearing. Under federal regulations, no
more than 15% of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation can be used
for social service activities. In addition, under the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)
program, at least 15% must be set aside for a Community Housing Development
Organization (CHDO).
The Federal government is currently working on allocating CDBG and HOME funding awards
and has not yet announced the final amounts to each participating community; however, it is
estimated that the City of Rosemead will sustain a 3% funding reduction to both allocations.
Based on this estimated reduction, a summary of staff-endorsed projects has been prepared
according to the funding requests and ongoing CDBG and HOME funded activities.
Recommendation: That the City Council review and finalize the CDBG and HOME funding
recommendations under the City's FY 2014 -15 Annual Action Plan
B. Renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement with the County of
Los Angeles for Public Safety Services Provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's

Department for another five -year period. This is a standardized agreement for all 42 cities in
Los Angeles County that contract with the Sheriffs Department for law enforcement services.
This agreement was introduced at the March 11m Council meeting and is now presented for
approval.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the County of Los
Angeles municipal law enforcement services agreement on behalf of the City.

require a producer of covered pharmaceuticals to submit to the Department

a product stewardship plan and would authorize one or more producers to
submit a plan or designate a stewardship organization to act as an agent on
behalf of the producers to submit a plan. The bill would require the
stewardship plan to contain specked elements with regard to the collection
and disposal of home- generated pharmaceutical waste, including provisions
