C. Assignment of Professional Services Agreement to Levine Management Group,
Inc. for Property Management Services
The Rosemead Housing Development Corporation operates two senior apartment
communities: Angelus Senior Housing located at 2417 Angelus Street and Garvey
Senior Housing located at 9118 Garvey Avenue. Angelus was built in 1994 and is
comprised of 51 residential dwelling units. Garvey was built in 2002 and is
comprised of 72 residential dwelling units. Both senior apartment communities are
currently managed by Levine Management Group, Inc. The Rosemead Housing
Development Corporation entered into the agreements with Levine when both
projects were under construction in 1994 and 2002, respectively. Both agreements
are "evergreen" and are automatically renewed annually. Since the City's current
Purchasing Policy does not allow contracts to exceed (5) years in duration, it was
necessary to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit bids from qualified
firms and enter into a new agreement for property management services.
Recommendation: That the City Council, sitting as the Rosemead Housing
Development Corporation Board of Directors, take the following actions:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Levine Management
Group, Inc. to provide property management services for two senior apartment
communities Angelus Senior Housing and Garvey Senior Housing at a cost
of $49.00 per unit per month with an annual cost of living increase in the
management fee based on the annual change in the "All Urban" Consumer Price
Index (CPI -U) increase for the Los Angeles County Area; and
2. The term of the agreement shall be for three (3) years with two (2) one-year
options beginning on July 1, 2021.

D. Contract Extension for Professional Services Agreement with Lance, Soll &
Lunghard, LLP for Auditing Services
In 2018, the City Council awarded a three-year contract with two additional one-
year extensions to Lance, Soll & Lungard, LLP for auditing services. The City has
completed the initial term of the contract and staff recommends the acceptance of
the two additional one-year extensions. Approval of the extension would extend
the contract through the FY 2021-22 audit period.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Accept and approve the two additional one-year extensions provided within the
current auditing service contract with Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to sign any required contract extension documents.
E. City Network and Communication Infrastructure Upgrades — TPx Communications
The City's network and communication infrastructure system (internet and VOIP
phone) is over ten years old and is near "end -of -life" (i.e., equipment is no
longer sold and/or updated). During this period, the City made incremental
updates but the overall system requires a substantial upgrade to maintain the
necessary connection, speeds, and network protections to operate efficiently. TPx
Communications (formerly TelePacific) has been the service provider since 2010
and the current service agreement expires between April -October 2022 (depending
on the facility location). As the City plans to fully reopen from COVID-19, staff
has been working with TPx to develop a comprehensive network and
communication system plan that would improve and protect the City's
infrastructure. The proposed recurring monthly charge of $12,941 per month will
increase the monthly service cost by approximately $3,000 and has been
incorporated in the FY 2021-2022 budget.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the
proposed Service Agreement with TPx for upgrades and services to the City's
network and communication infrastructure.

B. Adoption of Resolution No. 2021-30 Approving the FY 2021-22 Comprehensive
Fee Schedule
In FY 2020-21, the City entered into an agreement with Willdan and Associates to
undertake a complete review of the City's user charges and development impact
fees. The work is progressing, but the new fees will not be ready for
implementation by July 1. Staff is therefore presenting an interim Fee Schedule to
be used until the study is finalized and accepted by the City Council. Very few
changes are proposed at this time, but highlights include the restoration of business
license fees that were temporarily reduced for FY 2020-21 and charges for credit
card acceptance.

At the May 25, 2021, City Council meeting, a discussion was held regarding the

procedure on how proclamations should be issued. To facilitate the process, City
staff compiled a list of routine proclamations that can be approved on an annual
basis. By approving a list annually, staff can coordinate proclamation presentations
with ample time. Any item not on the list will be presented to the City Council for
discussion and approval before officially declaring the proclamation.
Recommendation: That the City Council discuss and approve the list of
proclamations.
B. Discussion of a Proclamation for Pride Month
