8. CITY HALL LAWN.
Mr. Gunn advised that in accordance with Council's request,
he had conferred with engineers concerning the drainage
matter in front of City Hall, and it was their conclusion
that from the entrance walkway around to the surface water
discharge easterly of City Hall, there is approximately
18 inches of fall, and that this should be adequate for
surface drainage. Raising the entrance walkway to the level
of the sidewalk on Valley Boulevard would considerably
increase the total fall.
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Maude, second
by Councilman Andersen, and unanimously carried, that a bid
proposal be prepared for the planting of a lawn in front of
City Hall including provision of a tile-type drain for excess
surface water.

recommendation that the Recreation S Parks Department make

be designated as bikeways, that would connect to local'
shopping centers.

a joggers track.
Councilman Maude advised Mrs. Ferl of a joggers track located

$35,695 as the City's share in California's 1969-70 fiscal

Mr. Gunn stated the City Council must now decide which of
four steps it will follow relative to the apportionment:
expend the funds, accumulate the funds, assign the funds to
another agency, or release the funds back to the State. The
decision must be based on the current evaluation of the
TOPICS program.
Mr. Gunn further stated as a result of the probable effect on
contract cities, the Board of Supervisors has proposed a
plan whereby they will give an equivalent amount of Highway
through Cities assistance to cities which assign their
TOPICS funds to the County. The feeling is that the County
could reduce administrative and study costs by consolidating
activities of 25 cities into one agency. The cities could
expend the HTC funds on their Select System Streets, without
any unnecessary requirement for studies, reports, audits, etc.
Discussion followed with regard to what assurance the City
would have in receiving an equivalent amount of money from
the County if the funds were assigned; whether it would be
more beneficial to accumulate the funds, and what type
projects could qualify for TOPICS funds.
There being no objections, this matter was deferred,to the next
meeting and staff requested to submit further report.
City Treasurer Foutz entered the meeting at 8:50 p.m.

APPROPRIATION FOR WORK ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED.

Electric in the fiscal year 1968-69 for the installation of
security lighting at Garvey Park. The work was not done within
the fiscal year, nor payments made, and at the end of this
period, funds were not obligated.
Mr. Gunn stated the City's auditor has now requested that
Council provide budgetary authorization for the expenditure,
and therefore transfer the sum of $6,000 from the Unappro-
priated Reserve to Account No. 8183 for the purpose.
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Andersen,
second by Councilman Maude, and carried, that we transfer the
foregoing funds as requested.

of the $1.15 per student agreement with the Garvey School Board,
and although they were quite satisfied with the level of pro-
grams provided by the Recreation & Parks Department, they did
feel an inequity in their contribution when compared to the
Rosemead School District. The Garvey School Board further
suggested the possibility of extending the Rosemead Recreation
& Park District boundary to include the entire City, thus pro-
viding uniform citizen support.
Mr. Gunn further advised of the staff's recommendation that
a letter be sent to the.Garvey School District indicating the
following:
a. assuring that continued efforts will be made to
secure more equitable contribution from Rosemead
School District,

agreement, and

cooperation exhibited by the District Board
and staff.

citizen support and participation.
