TO: HONORABLE MAYOR

KRANIC
ROSSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 1999
RE: APPROVAL OF Y2K ACTION PLAN
Included in the footnotes in the City's June 30, 1998 Annual Financial Report, was a paragraph
about the potential impact of the year 2000 issue. It stated that the City was in the process of
responding to those concerns by testing and evaluating the systems that would be affected by the
"Y2K"problem. In response,the City Council approved a contract with McGladrey &Pullen
for the development of an Y2K Plan at the May 11, 1999 Meeting. After considerable work on
the part of staff and the consultant, the attached plan has been developed. Between now and
December 31, 1999, it will be reviewed and updated on an as needed basis.
Staff's main areas of concern were the computers,the phone system, traffic signals, and public
safety. In response to these concerns, all the City's computers have been replaced or upgraded.
The new phone system, which is Y2K compatible, will be operational on Monday, December 13,
1999. All of the traffic signals have been tested or have been certified in writing that they are in
compliance. The 911 emergency systems have been tested and both the Sheriff and Fire
Department are satisfied with the results.
Los Angeles County is well prepared and their Emergency Operations Center will be activated
from 6:00 am on Friday, December 31, 1999 through Monday, January 3, 2000. In regards to the
City, five staff members are scheduled to be at City Hall from 10:00 pm Friday, December 31,
1999 through 2:00 am Saturday morning. The switchboard will be open during that time and
staff will perform a variety of inspections during that period. Los Angeles County will also call
in for periodic updates. An updated Y2K article is included in the December issue of the
Rosemead Report.
