3. MATTERS FROM STAFF OF THE ROSEMEAD SUCCESSOR AGENCY
A. ROPS Submittal — July through December 2014
The Department of Finance (DOF) requires the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
(ROPS) for the July through December 2014 be submitted by March 1, 2014. As with every
previous ROPS, the layout and formal of the schedules has been modified, and the
schedules may look slightly different.
The ROPS document now includes a summary page, a cash balance page, a schedule for
the current ROPS period, a reconciliation page of prior ROPS periods, and a notes page.
The Cash Balance page replaced the previous Fund Balance page to better reflect the
nature of the report being focused on cash and not fund balance. As the Board may note in
Column H for the worksheet, the Successor Agency under spent its allocation in the 2013 -
14A period by $30,651 due to a lower than anticipated transfer to the Housing Corporation
and a lower debt service payment thanks to interest earnings in the bond reserve fund. The
Board may also note that despite excess property tax allocation ( RPTTF) in the ROPS
period, the Successor Agency is still owed RPTTF from prior ROPS periods in which it did

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, and the
basketball courts. At this time, bids have been solicited to improve the basketball courts,
which are a popular 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

create a spectator friendly seating area. Funding for this project is provided through bond
proceeds from the former Redevelopment Agency.

C. Rosemead Community Recreation Center Improvements — Furniture, Fixtures, and

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 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.
Renovation on the RCRC facility progressed in several phases that initiated in the spring of
2012. Since this time, a portion of the design and construction has been completed, including
the replacement of roof materials, heating /cooling systems, and interior renovations. The
final phase of the facility modernization includes the construction of a 3,000 square foot
annex and renovation of the exterior of the existing building. It is expected that this work will
begin in the spring of 2014.
With the recent completion of the interior renovations at the existing facility, a package of
furniture, fixtures and equipment has been selected to complete the interior portions of the
building. Funding for these materials were included as part of the 2010 bond issuance by
