In response to Council Member Low's inquiry, Director of Finance Lieu stated the Redevelopment Agency receives property tax increments two times a year from the Los Angeles County for existing obligations such as the two bonds and two senior housing. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Armenta, City Manager Molleda asserted that the Sheriffs Station confirmed directly the 0.5% increase in the Liability Trust Account referenced in the Public Safety General Fund. Ms. Molleda responded to Council Member Ly's inquiry that since the Public Works Superintendent position is being eliminated,the Public Works Manager will take on those responsibilities. Council Member Ly asked for an explanation as to what"the evening and weekend roving supervision" consisted of. Director of Parks and Recreation Boecking responded it means that Parks staff will take turns to canvass the parks. Mayor Pro Tem Armenta advocated to budget for more hours,especially during the summertime; noted when she worked for the Parks and Recreation Department, they rotated Parks Supervisors to ensure staff is visible and that no illegal activity was occurring. Council Member Ly questioned is it truly a matter of additional staffing needed or simply to properly train the current staff. Council Member Low opined 6,157 hours is a substantial amount to add to the budget. Rosemead City Council, and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Special and Regular Meeting Minutes of May 14, 2019 Page 2 of 14 Council Member Ly concurred with Council Member Low;inquired why taxpayers are paying when the outside agency should pay for City staff supervision at private rentals. Director of Parks and Recreation Boecking stated that when an outside agency rents a facility they must pay for supervision, however there are some agencies grandfathered in that are exempt. Council Member Ly requested staff research a full cost recovery plan. Per Council Member Low's request, City Manager Molleda affirmed that staff can separate the various events and hours within the Community Promotions/Special Events, such as the City's 60th Anniversary. Mayor Pro Tern Armenta inquired about the 5% salary increase for the three reclassifications under the Community Development Overview, Code Division. Director of Community Development Kim asserted that the elimination of the Public Safety Manager position is a cost savings of$28,000 as we are bringing it back to a supervisor position.

Director of Finance Lieu provided an overview of the proposed staff changes for full time positions in the FY 19-20. Council Member Ly requested a separate discussion for the proposed Parks and Recreation Manager position. Per Council inquiry, City Manager Molleda noted the new mobile stage referenced under the Unfunded CIP Projects is the stage used for various events that is transported to different facilities. Director of Public Works Alfonso confirmed the current stage is about 40 years old. Council Member Ly suggested purchasing a new mobile stage with the$1,488,800 surplus funds as it is a worthwhile investment; requested staff do a cost analysis of replacing the dance floor; expressed confusion as to why the Garvey Park Main Office Renovations was listed under the Unfunded CIP Projects as it was his _ understanding that Council previously allocated for this project; further stated, if the renovation has not been budgeted, then the project should move up to higher priority on the list as a Youth Center is much needed in the community; asked staff to look into using any carryover or surplus or grant money to ensure this project comes to fruition.

Take such additional, related action that may be desirable. • Director of Public Works Alfonso stated following a number of revisions to the layout of the Garvey Park Restroom Renovation Project, staff is finalizing the design drawings, bid specifications, and construction cost estimate, and is requesting the City Council's authorization to advertise the project for construction bids or consider a redesign;indicated the existing restroom building at Garvey Park is outdated, deteriorated, and in need of renovation as the men's and women's restrooms lack the capacity to host the many community events and activities that are held at Garvey Park. On February 27, 2018, the City Manager approved a Professional Services Agreement with CEJ Engineers,Inc.,in the amount of$28,500 to design the Garvey Park Restroom Renovation Project. Upon reviewing the initial design, various safety concerns, particularly for women and children were raised; therefore, CEJ considered a side by side "square" configuration, however, staff determined that such a design would negatively impact the structural integrity of the existing building. At staff's request, CEJ provided a separate proposal in the amount of $20,220 to demolish the old restroom and design an all new restroom building. Rosemead City Council, and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Special and Regular Meeting Minutes of May 14, 2019 Page 10 of 14 Mayor Pro Tem Armenta expressed frustration that the City has continued paying the contractor for redesigns when it could have been avoided if Council's previous comments had been researched properly by prior staff.

Council Member Ly concurred with Council Member Low to proceed with Option 1. Council Member Dang expressed concern for the condition of Garvey Park Restrooms; inquired why an additional exit door was built for the women's restroom and not for the men's restroom as well. Mayor Clark echoed Council Member Dang's thought to include an additional exit door to the men's restroom. Council Member Ly opined there is not a need for an additional door to the men's restroom; emphasized any changes to the design will further delay the project at least another two weeks. Mayor Clark opined there should be an additional exit door for safety purposes; inquired if the mechanical room could be switched around so that an emergency door can be included on that side. Mayor Pro Tern Armenta affirmed a revised blueprint would be required if any changes are made to existing structural, electrical, mechanical, or plumbing detail. Council Member Low opined it is more urgent to complete the restrooms for the sake of the community rather than delaying it to include an additional door. Mayor Clark inquired if we are going to approve staff's recommendation tonight, could we simply ask the contractor if it is feasible to include an additional exit door to the men's restroom. Council Member Ly moved to end further discussion and call a vote; seconded by Council Member Low.
