Rosemead Housing Development Corporation (RHDC) to administer certain HOME funded

Recommendation: That the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation and the City

E. City Investment Policy
The City's Investment Policy is reviewed annually to ensure that it best reflects current
investing conditions. As those conditions change, minor adjustments to the Policy may be
made to allow for the continuation of reasonable returns on investments while maintaining
the priority of safety first. The report is an annual item in accordance with Government Code
Section 53601 and no changes are being proposed. The investment priorities of the City's
Policy remain, in order of importance: 1) safety, 2) liquidity, 3) yield.
Staff Recommendation: That the City Council approve the Investment Policy.
4. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. Comprehensive Fee Resolution Update
The City provides various "individualized" services (i.e., inspections, permits, variances, etc.)
that are not of general benefit. Historically, many of these services have been provided at a
city cost greater than the price being charged for them thus resulting in the subsidies of the
remaining costs of service from the general taxpayers. As a matter of routine fee
maintenance and to keep pace with increasing costs of individualized services, the fees
charged to users need to be reviewed on a regular basis, preferably each year.
In the interest of being responsive to the service needs of Rosemead residents and
businesses, not all fees need to be adjusted and some are controlled by statute.
Consequently, not every fee is being recommended for an adjustment this year. A list of all
fees is presented and those with strikethroughs and underlines are identified for adjustment,
all others will remain unchanged.
Staff Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2016 -21 "Annual
Comprehensive Fee Schedule."

5. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
A. Ratification of Mayor's Appointments 2016 -17
At the April 26th meeting, the City Council approved the Mayor's Appointment List for 2016-
17. Upon approval of the Mayor's appointments, some discrepancies were discovered on the
list of appointments. To confirm the final appointments for 2016 -17, corrections have been
made to four committee appointments to reflect the approval of the Mayor's Appointments
List for 2016 -17.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the ratified list of Mayor Appointments for
2016 -17.
B. Klingerman Street/Angelus Avenue Intersection Improvements
On February 9, 2016, the City Council reviewed Resolution 2016 -07 and considered
installation of All -Way "STOP" at the Klingerman /Angelus intersection. After receiving
testimonies, the City Council asked that a public workshop be conducted to solicit community
input. On March 15, 2016, the City held a public workshop, and received inputs from 14
attendees.
Staff Recommendation: That the City Council provide directions regarding the appropriate
improvement measures for the Klingerman /Angelus intersection.
C. Out of State Conference Expenditure Reimbursement
Rosemead's Municipal Code 2.04.020 states that any councilmember shall be reimbursed
for the necessary and actual expenses incurred in the performance of official duties. All
expenses must be verified and documented. The City's Travel Policy# 20 -02 states that the
following expenses require prior Council approval: "International and out of state travel
except to an adjacent state." Mayor Pro Tom Low was invited to participate in an Asian
Pacific American (APA) Leaders Roundtable in honor of APA Heritage Month. She received
the invitation for this conference after the April 26, 2016 Council meeting. She attended this
conference in Washington D.C. on May 2nd through May 4th.
