the flOkAnge egional Food Bank and serve over 1300 individuals, including many
from Q-6 . , each week. Two weeks ago, they received 944 boxes to distribute; last
week the - eceived 300! Our food chain system is disrupted and stressed.
Several pastor friends of mine, Daniel Kwok (Branches Fellowship), Frank Contreras
(Open Bible Church) and Deborah Oh (Mission Community United Methodist Church)
have been communicating together for the past two weeks as to how our four churches can
love and serve our neighbors. We have decided to self -fund and organize a food distribution
event for Saturday, May 30. We are working on the logistics and operations as we know
that there are many seniors and families in Rosemead who are in critical need.
We appreciate the City's support, assistance, and communication on our collaborative
effort. We will need the presence of our Public Safety resources to manage the expected

We are grateful for the support of our Chamber of Commerce and Community
Development staff to communicate this opportunity to our community. And we would
recommend strong consideration for utilization of the CARES Act CDBG grant to address
the food insecurity realities. We recognize that our initiative is a modest cup of cold water,
in Jesus' name, to address an escalating need, but we believe that God has called us to love
our neighbors as ourselves and do good to those around us. We welcome the City's ongoing
support and advocacy to care for the physical needs of our residents. Grace and blessing to
all of you."

Director of Community Development Frausto-Lupo stated on March 27, 2020,
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed
into Public Law 116-136 to respond to the growing effects of COVID-19.
The CARES Act made available $5 billion in Community Development Block
Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds. Of this amount, HUD is allocating
$2 billion based on the fiscal year 2019-2020 CDBG formula and made the first
allocation of funds; the City of Rosemead's allocation is $443,682. HUD will
allocate the remaining $3 billion based on needs in the following tranches:
$1 billion to states and insular areas, and $2 billion to states and local governments
at the discretion of the HUD Secretary.
The CARES Act provides City's flexibility for the CDBG-C_- =ding and, in some
cases, for the annual fiscal year 2019-2020 CDBG g; additionally, the
Secretary is authorized to grant waivers and alternati 1 nts of statutes and
regulations in connection with the use of CDBG-.`___ nds an t 1 year 2019 and
2020 CDBG funds (except for requi merits related air housing,

Applic fo BG -CV Food and Nutrition Program, which would be open for
two wee taf = ed to reach out to the churches who have expressed interest;
noted mu e Chinches can organize and submit one proposal together.
Ced
mber Clark expressed concern that issuing an RFP would take a long
why we must go out to bid instead of just working directly with
willing to help.
Mayor Pro Tem Low inquired if there was any way to speed up the process since
this is a COVID-19 funding.
Damien Delany, CDBG Consultant, explained the COVID-19 funds are still
governed under the federal HUD guidelines such as the CDBG program, so
interested organizations must follow and adhere to the same guidelines; noted the
minimum amount for the procurement is two weeks.

City Manager Molleda noted that Republic Services is hosting a food bank on
May 30th, which the City will be participating in and then next month we will be

Director of Community Development Frausto-Lupo replied it could be used for
testing; indicated staff reached out to the City of Baldwin Park who indicated they
entered into an agreement with a provider at a cost of $290,000, which provides
1,600 COVID-19 test kits and includes medical staff for five da er week, for up

Director of Community Development Frausto-Lupo stated on the stimulus plans for
forgivable loans, instead of using General Funds, you could use the CDBG funds

to offer diapers and wipes at our food bank event.

Director of Community Development Frausto-Lupo stated in response to this crisis,
the City of Rosemead, may consider implementing a local economic stimulus plan
subsidized through General Fund Reserves. A local stimulus plan will accomplish
three main objectives; 1) provide immediate economic relief to struggling
businesses, employees, and residents; 2) create a stopgap when businesses cannot
secure assistance through other federal or state resources; and 3) provide a
mechanism for the local economy in Rosemead to recover from the impacts of
COVID-19.
The State of California and Los Angeles County has been steadfast in putting
measures in place to protect the public from the spread of CO -19. However,
those public health orders have directly impacted many in Los Angeles

seeing no s just a glimpse of what is to come. Given the fact that the City
will be ng significant financial deficits as a result of COVID-19 itself,
sh gement may become a very real issue which Council will need to
when deciding whether to pursue a local economic stimulus plan with
ral Fund Reserves. For Council's consideration, staff has developed a robust
menu of options that includes a variety of potential programs and activities that
would help business owners, developers, and residents at an estimated budget of
$1.51 million. Please note that some of the activities in the plan call for fee
reduction and waivers at an indirect cost of $389,000.
Council Member Clark indicated she was in a COG Water Committee meeting this
morning, in which Congresswoman Grace Napolitano's representative stated there
is another stimulus bill that is pending that would go to cities; noted cities with a
population of 50,000 plus would receive more funding than the smaller cities;

expressed she is not comfortable using the General Funds and wants the City to be
as frugal as we can.
City Manager Molleda responded that this item was brought to you at the request
of Council Member Ly, which is why staff created this menu of options for Council
to give direction on how to proceed.
Council Member Clark reiterated I want to ensure we are not spending reserves
if a third round came and additional money was provided to us.
City Attorney Richman stated that could be included as part of ncil's motion.

Director of Public Works Daste noted the Rosemead Parking Walking Trail project
was originally budgeted at $285,000, however a reassessment was completed, and
it was determined that additional funding was needed; we are going out to bid on it

to budget an additional $80,600 to fund the project.
Council Member Ly stated it is his understanding that the additional funding will
be pulled from Measure R.
Mr. Daste affirmed that is correct.
Mr. Ly stated his intent was to receive a list of CIP projects that were not funded
so that Council can take a look at that and work off that list; the only list that really
matters is the last page.

however Council can request that CDBG funds be utilized rather than the General
Fund for some of these activities.

Council Member Ly opined let's look into matching our funds with the CDBG
funds to expand the programs.
City Manager Molleda noted that Council is being asked to consider how to use the
current CDBG funding available now pertaining to COVID-19.
Mayor Pro Tem Low suggested reducing the business license fees by 50% for both
new and renewal; indicated support for the small business loan program.
Council Member Ly noted the license fee reduction would cost the City an
estimated $85,000 of lost revenue, however businesses would appreciative of
