A Consolidated Plan is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Program and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program.
The 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan is required to include an Annual Action Plan for

income and funds received during the next program year for meeting housing and

6. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. Information on Garvey Avenue Regional Access and Capacity Improvement
Project Grant Awarded to the City of Rosemead from 2015 LA Metro Call for
Projects Rounds
Staff is requesting direction from the City Council on whether to proceed with the
Garvey Avenue Regional Access & Capacity Improvement Project and referred to
as the "Garvey Avenue Capacity Improvement'Project".
If the City Council decides to move forward with the project, staff would seek
Council approval at a later time to amend the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
for the inclusion of this project and begin its implementation.
If the City Council decides not to move forward with the project, the awarded funds
by Metro would be de -obligated.
Recommendation: That the City Council to provide direction to staff whether to
move forward with the Garvey Avenue Capacity Improvement Project.
B. Discussion of Interest in Potential Future Action to Allow the County of Los
Angeles' Temporary Prohibition on Evictions of Residential and Commercial
Tenants Arising from Financial Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic to Apply to
the City
On March 26, 2020, the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance providing
certain eviction protections for residential and commercial tenants as a result of
financial impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The City's ordinance
5
Rosemead City Council, Housing Development Corporation and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission
Special & Regular Joint Meeting Agenda April 28, 2020
was similar to the County of Los Angeles' order providing protection for tenants in
the unincorporated portions of the County.
On April 14, 2020, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted a revised
eviction protection moratorium order, providing additional protections not set forth
in the existing County order. Of significance, the new County regulation provides
tenants up to 12 months to repay rent not paid during the eviction moratorium
period (the prior order and City ordinance provided 6 months). More importantly,
the new County order applies in all cities of the County that do not otherwise have
their own eviction protection moratorium.
The City Attorney is looking for direction as to whether the City Council would
like to place an item on an upcoming agenda to repeal the City's ordinance and
allow the County's to apply in its place or if the Council wants to continue with its
existing ordinance.
Recommendation: That the City Council discuss and provide direction on whether
it wants to consider at an upcoming meeting having the County's eviction
moratorium apply in the City by repealing the City's current eviction moratorium
ordinance and provide any other appropriate direction on the topic.
C. COVID-19 and 2020 Summer Recreation Programs Update
The Parks and Recreation Department is preparing for summer programs, classes
and special events. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the department has been
forced to reduce the number of programs, classes and special events offered during
the summer of 2020.
Recommendation: That the City Council received and file.
D. COVID-19 Update
This is a recurring item that will be on the agenda to update the City Council on
items related to COVID-19.
Recommendation: That the City Council discuss and provide further direction.
7. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
A. Resolution Calling on State Electeds to Urge the Los Angeles Regional Water
Quality Board to Ease MS4 Permit Requirements
The purpose of the resolution is to implore the Governor and the City of
Rosemead's ("City") State legislative representatives to impress upon the Los
Angeles Regional Water Quality Board ("Regional Board") the need to spare the
City and others from complying with the with requirements that are not required by
federal law. These include: (1) participation in an EWMP; (2) the metals TMDLs
that did not apply to the City. Further, the City and others that drain to engineered
channels are not required by State regulation to comply with the bacteria TMDL.
Both of these TMDLs account for about 95% of EWMP costs. The Resolution also
6
Rosemead City Council, Housing Development Corporation and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission
Special & Regular Joint Meeting Agenda April 28, 2020
asserts that the City has been misassigned to the Upper Los Angeles River EWMP
Group and instead should be in Reach 2 of the Rio Hondo, which avoids significant
TMDL compliance costs.
Recommendation: That City Council adopt Resolution No. 2020-16, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD CITY
COUNCIL CALLING ON THE GOVERNOR OF
CALIFORNIA, AND STATE LEGISLATIVE ELECTEDS
REPRESENTING SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
MUNICIPALITIES TO URGE THE LOS ANGELES
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD TO
EASE MS4 PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR LOS
ANGELES COUNTY
