Consequently, a full scope of services to residents will be continued without service reductions. Page 5 of 7 ROSEMEAD CRY COUNCIL, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JOINT MEETING AGENDA A five -year financial outlook workshop with the City Council was held on February 11, 2014 and a 2014 -15 budget workshop was held on May 13, 2014.

After adjustments the General Fund operation budget has a surplus of $1,400. No additional major financial changes have been made to the draft budget as presented at the May 13� workshop.

MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL A. Consideration of Replacement of Annual Lunar New Year Family Festival with Moon Festival In 2009, City Council approved creation of the City of Rosemead's Lunar New Year Family Festival. The Festival was operated in partnership with ED[ Media through 2013. In 2014, the City assumed sole event operation. Due to a proliferation of similar area events and date - related conflicts, attendance has been lower than anticipated and vendors are increasingly unwillingly to participate. Following a discussion with Council Member Polly Low, it is believed that the community might be better served by shifting resources towards the celebration of the Chinese Moon Festival. The Moon (or Mid - Autumn) Festival is the second most celebrated of Chinese cultural events. Locally, there are few agencies that offer events against which there would not be any significant competition for attendance or vendors. The City has received a proposal from Sing Tao Newspapers of Los Angeles to serve as organizer of an event for the aftemoon /evening of August 23, 2014 along Valley Boulevard between Ivar and Walnut Grove Avenues. Page 6 of 7 ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JOINT MEETING AGENDA June 10, 2014 Recommendation: City Council authorize the execution of an agreement with Sing Tao Newspapers of Los Angeles to organize and operate a Moon Festival event along Valley Boulevard on August 23, 2014, 7.
