GORDON

on the sewer/gutter construction project on Valley Boulevard in front of his work place at
9558 Valley Boulevard. Claimant also admitted his pickup had been "lowered" and the
underside would contact the construction work zone upon entering and exiting his
employer's parking lot. The street project is being done by Damon Construction. Carl
Warren has been forwarded all information and recommends rejection of this claim. Carl
Warren has tendered this claim to the contractor.
Recommendation: Authorize rejection of this claim.
CC-D SB 1101 (MURRAY) - TRANSPORTATION: METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (MTA) AND LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION ZONES - OPPOSE
The City of Rosemead is participating in a San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
(COG) study to expand the Foothill Transit Zone to take over several local buslines. By
requiring the Transit Zone to assume existing MTA collective bargaining agreements upon
expansion, SB 1101 (Murray) would make it very difficult and expensive to implement the
expansion. In addition, the bill would require that MTA employees absorbed by the
Transit Zone be placed in the same bargaining unit as their MTA counterparts, thus giving
the MTA de facto power over future employee agreements.
Recommendation: Council oppose SB 1101 (Murray) and authorize the Mayor to send
/the appropriate correspondence.

STREET -PROJECT NO. 98-05

the date of the Notice of Completion.
