ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSION MEMBERS
FROM: OLIVER CHI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: AUGUST 26, 2008
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON THE EXPENDITURE OF COMMISSION FUNDS
FOR THE FY 2008-09 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PURSUANT TO
HEALTH & SAFETY CODE SECTIONS 33679 AND 33445
SUMMARY
Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33445) requires that, if
redevelopment funds are to be used to pay for improvements which will be publicly
owned, both within and outside of the project area, the City Council and the Community
Development Commission must make three findings: a) that the proposed
improvements are of benefit to the Project Areas or the immediate neighborhood in
which the projects are located; b) that there are no other reasonable means of financing
the proposed projects available to the community; c) that the projects will assist in the
elimination of blighting conditions in the Project Areas and are consistent with the
adopted Implementation Plan.
For the FY2008-09 Capital Improvement Plan, there are two projects that require the
use of Commission funds.
1. The Rosemead Parks Trail Project was considered and approved by the
City Council as a part of the recently adopted budget. The Project will
beautify the park by adding landscaping, adding a new walking/jogging
trail around the park's perimeter, and adding new exercise and fitness
equipment adjacent to the new trail.
2. The Sewer Master Plan Project was also considered and approved by the
City Council as a part of the recently adopted budget. The Project will
conduct an overall analysis and needs assessment of the City's sewer
system infrastructure. The plan will also allow staff to develop needed
capital improvements projects over the next 5 and 10 years.
Construction of the Rosemead Park Trails is expected to occur between September
2008 and November 2008. The Sewer System Master Plan is expected to be
completed by April 2009.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Community Development Commission adopt Resolution No.
2008-23 making the appropriate findings under Health and Safety Code Section 33445
and the Council consent to the proposed Commission expenditures.
ANALYSIS
Health and Safety Code Section 33445 Findings
As stated above, Health and Safety Code Section 33445 requires that the Community
Development Commission approve expenditures for public improvement projects with
redevelopment funds and that Commission find:
1) The use of Commission funds is of benefit to the project area(s) funding
the improvement.
The Projects are of benefit to the Project Areas as there are inadequate
and deficient public facilities within the Project Area including park facilities
and improvements and, the sewer system infrastructure is in need of
improvements which will be identified in the Sewer Master Plan and permit
the City to create a plan for undertaking those improvements. These
projects will provide needed public facilities and improvements and will
therefore benefit the Project Areas. A description of the Projects and the
funding sources are attached to the Resolution proposed with this staff
report as Exhibit A; and
2) There is no other reasonable means of financing the improvements.
At this time, no other reasonable means of financing the Projects are
available from the City as the City is using its funds to undertake other
projects, services and public improvements throughout the City as
reflected in the City's FY 2008-09 Capital Improvement Plan; and
3) Funding the project will assist in the elimination of one or more blighting
conditions inside the project area.
The payment of funds for the Projects will assist in the elimination of
blighting conditions inside the Redevelopment Project Areas by providing
for the identification of needed public sewer system improvements and
additional public park facilities which are currently insufficient and in poor
condition; and
