Councilman Stead restated his motion and comments from the
last meeting as follows:
It was moved by Stead, second by Phinney, that beginning
with the 1962-63 fiscal year, the City remove the Sewer
Maintenance assessment from the tax bill for all Rosemead
property owners and that the City pay for this expense from
City revenue each year hereafter.
Councilman Stead stated for the record that a majority of
this Council were members of the Rosemead Incorporation
Association. It has been over five years since we made the
promise to the voters that if Rosemead were to incorporate we
would reduce property taxes by removing the Road, Sewer, and
Lighting Maintenance charges from their tax bills; we
promised that these items would be paid from City revenue.
The 1958 rate total of these taxes amounted to 22t per $100
of assessed valuation. I was one of those who urgently
encouraged incorporation, and who made the tax reduction
promise. Upon incorporation in 1959 the Road Maintenance
expense was taken over by the City:
After discussion, it was moved by Phinney, second by Andersen,
that the City go on record favoring, beginning with the 1.962-63
fiscal year, removal of the sewer maintenance assessment from
the tax bill for all Rosemead Property owners and of payment by
the City of Rosemead each year thereafter, as a substitute
motion.
In the discussion that followed, Councilman Stead requested
the record to show the following excerpts from the'Facts
about lncorporation'brochure prepared by the Rosemead Incor-
poration Association December 12, 1958.
HOWEVER, the city government will assume the present sewer,
road and lighting district costs, and these items will be
removed from your property tax bill, thus REDUCING YOUR
PROPERTY TAX. For the exact amount of this reduction,
please consult the table on the reverse side of your property
tax bills.
Traffic Safety 1,800.00
Street Lighting* 11,000.00
Sewer Maintenance* 5,000.00
Road Maintenance Dist. No. 1 5,000.00
CASH SURPLUS**
