Approval of Joint Use Agreement with the Garvey School District for the Operation and Maintenance of the Jess Gonzalez Sports Complex The City Council will consider renewal of the Joint Use Agreement for the operation and maintenance of Jess Gonzalez Sports Complex. The agreement provides for joint use of a certain specified area at Temple Intermediate School for this purpose. The most recent agreement between the City and the Garvey School District has expired. Representatives from the City and the School District have worked cooperatively to renew this agreement. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement. E. SB 876 (LIU) Homelessness— Preemption of Local Authority The City Council will consider authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to state legislators urging their opposition to SB 876 that has been introduced by Senator Carol Liu. The League of California Cities has taken a position in opposition to this bill that would preempt local authority to address important issues affecting public health and safety in public places or private property such as plazas, courtyards, sidewalks, public buildings, shopping centers and parks. While this proposed legislation may be well intentioned, local agencies must be able to protect the public health and safety of their communities. Moreover, this effort will not make a positive impact in the effort to address the societal problem of chronic homelessness. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the Mayor to send letters to state legislators urging their opposition to SB 876 (Liu). F. Adams Ranch Mutual Water company – Deed of Trust and Re- Conveyance The City Attorney was contacted by Legal Counsel for the Adams Ranch Mutual Water Company. Adams Ranch is currently in negotiations to be purchased by California American Water (Cal Am). As a part of the purchase process it was found that there was recorded on Adams Ranch's title a Deed of Trust dated from May 1, 2001 for a $150,000 loan to Adams Ranch from the City of Rosemead as the Lender. Recommendation: That the City Council re- convey and surrender a $150,000 Deed of Trust to Adams Ranch Mutual Water Company for construction and operation of a water well for 10 years and authorize the City Manager to sign the attached re- conveyance document to effectuate such re- conveyance, which has been reviewed by the City Attorney. 6.
