Rosemead Community Recreation Center Improvements As pad of the July 2010 bond issuance by the former Redevelopment Agency, the City included funding for a project to renovate and expand the Rosemead Community Recreation Center (RCRC). The existing facility was built in 1975 and is approximately 17,000 square feet in size. RCRC serves as a major community recreation facility that houses senior programs, recreation classes, special functions, and community events. To date, a portion of the RCRC improvements have been completed, including the replacement of roof materials, heating/cooling systems, and interior renovations. Remaining items in the project scope will be completed in two phases including: Phase 1: The installation of new interior lights, ceiling tiles, and windows at the existing facility; and Phase 2: Construction of the community center expansion, mini - plaza, landscape improvements, kitchen improvements, and fagade renovation. The work on Phase 1, which was approved by the City Council on April 22, 2014, will commence immediately upon approval of the Oversight Board. It is estimated that this phase will take 8 -10 weeks to complete. Plans for items listed in Phase 2 are completed and will be advertised for bid later this month. It is estimated that this phase will take 6 months to complete. The facility will reopen upon completion of Phase 1 work. Phase 2 work will continue after the facility is reopened for public use.

Garvey Avenue Sewer Improvement Project - Award of Contract for Design Engineering As part of the July 2010 increment bond issuance by former Redevelopment Agency, the City included funding to increase capacity in the sanitary sewer system along Garvey Avenue. The City's Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP), which was completed in 2009, identified the sewer along Garvey Avenue as lacking sufficient capacity to accommodate current and future land uses along this corridor. An increase of sewer capacity in this area will help to prevent sewer system overflows as well as accommodate any increased sewer volumes that could result from future development. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was distributed to seven (7) local engineering firms that have experience in sewer design services. Three (3) proposals were received and reviewed by City staff. Funding for this project is provided entirely from bond proceeds from the former Redevelopment Agency. Recommendation: That the Oversight Board authorize the Oversight Board Resolution 2014 -005, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION CONFIRMING CONTRACTS AND EXPEDITURES FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE GARVEY AVENUE SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth reviewed the staff report.

Rosemead Park Improvement Project — EMUHSDICity of Rosemead Perimeter Fence Replacement As part of the July 2010 tax increment bond issuance by the former Redevelopment Agency, the City included funding for a project to renovate and improve portions of Rosemead Park and its amenities. The project identifies several elements of Rosemead Park that need improvement including playground equipment, the north parking lot, court lighting, basketball courts, turf and other improvements. Recently, El Monte Union High School District asked the City to share costs to replace the dilapidated perimeter fence between the two properties. The District, in accordance with its own purchasing policy, solicited bids for tubular steel fencing to replace 950 linear feel of existing chain link fence than runs along the park/school property line. A review of the project indicates that other adjacent improvements would be required including a small support wall and landscape and irrigation enhancements. Funding for this project would be provided through bond proceeds from the former Redevelopment Agency. Recommendation: That the Oversight Board approve the Oversight Board Resolution 2014 -006, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION CONFIRMING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF PERIMETER FENCING AND ADJACENT ENHANCEMENTS AS PART OF THE ROSEMEAD PARK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Assistant City Manager Hawkesworth reviewed the staff report.
