L Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1006 Amending Chapter 8.32 of
the City of Rosemead Municipal Code, Retitling Chapter 8.32 to "Solid Waste and
Recycling," and other Clarifying Amendments
On July 13, 2021, the City Council discussed Senate Bill (SB) 1383 compliance and
directed staff to develop, implement, and administer an organic waste recycling
program and ordinance. On September 29, 2021, the City Council accepted a
proposal to amend the existing franchise waste hauler agreement to implement the
proposed organic waste recycling program and ordinance and achieve SB 1383
compliance.
In October 2021, staff retained a consultant familiar with the requirements of SB
1383 to draft the proposed Ordinance No. 1006. The Ordinance is based on a model
ordinance template developed and provided by CalRecycle. The Ordinance fulfills
the SB 1383 requirements and will work in tandem with the City's existing franchise
waste hauler agreement, which is proposed to be amended to meet the provisions
under State law.
Recommendation: That the City Council introduce for first reading and direct staff to
bring back for adoption Ordinance No. 1006, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
CHAPTER 8.32 OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD,

J. Approval of First Amendment to Interim Finance Director/Treasurer Employment
Agreement
The City and the Interim Finance Director/Treasurer entered into the Agreement on
March 10, 2021. That Agreement will expire December 14, 2021, due to the
accumulated hours of 960. As the Finance Director position remains vacant due to
the continued difficulty of recruiting for the position during the COVID-19 pandemic
and there remains an urgent need to fill the position to assist with 2022-23 budget
preparation and other financial duties, staff is recommending an extension to the
Agreement with Paula Chamberlain so that she may fulfill the necessary duties until
the City hires a permanent replacement.
Finally, on October 26, 2021, the City Council approved an increase in the Finance
Director's monthly salary range (Resolution No. 2021-50); therefore, the hourly rate
also has changed, so the Agreement must reflect that increase.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2021-68, amending the Interim Finance
Director/Treasurer's Agreement to extend the term and restart the hours of the

A. Approval of Adjustment to Salary and Benefits for City Manager and City Clerk
Based on Recent Salary and Benefit Changes Approved to Employee Groups on
October 26, 2021 to be Effective November 1, 2021; and Adoption of Resolution No.
2021-61 Amending the City of Rosemead's Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year
2021-22 to Meet the California Code of Regulations Title 2, Section 570.5 and 571
to Reflect New Salary Rates Approved for All Full -Time Employees
The City Council will consider the approval of employee salary and benefit
adjustments to the City Manager's and City Clerk's employment agreements to
mirror and reflect the changes approved for the Executive Management Team on
October 26, 2021. These adjustments include the 2% salary increases given to all
other employees, effective November 1, 2021, and June 27, 2022, the management
incentive pay, and other benefits and leave modifications.
This action includes compensation changes for key executive employees (City
Manager and City Clerk). Pursuant to State law, approval of compensation changes
for key executive employees must be accompanied by a verbal report; hence this item
is being placed on the Matters from City Manager & Staff section of the Agenda for
consideration. In addition, the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 570.5
and amendments to 571(b) require a consolidated Salary Schedule that shows all City
classifications and salary ranges to determine eligible salary compensation for
retirement be publicly available. Resolution No. 2021-61 is presented for
consideration in accordance with this requirement.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the adjustments in salary and
benefits to the City Manager's and City Clerk's employment agreements to mirror
those approved for the Executive Management Group on October 26, 2021. If
approved, adoption of Resolution No. 2021-61, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
THE COMPREHENSIVE SALARY SCHEDULE TO
MEET THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS

This item is being requested by Mayor Pro Tem Sean Dang to discuss about
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Consultants.
Recommendation: That the City Council discuss and provide direction.
B. Presentation by the Southwest Carpenters Union on the Community Wealth Project
This item is being requested by Council Member Sandra Armenta for presentation
and discussion.
The Community Wealth Project is a program focused on using local assets to fuel the
local economy, by investing in people to ensure everyone has a place in the
community. A brief presentation will be provided by representatives of the Southwest
Carpenters Union.
C. Introduction of Ordinance No. 1007 of the City Council of the City of Rosemead,
California, Amending Section 2.08.070 of the Rosemead Municipal Code Relating
to the Chief of Police
Council Member Sandra Armenta requested that the following item be added to the
City Council agenda for Council action.
Upon the City's incorporation in 1959 initial ordinances of the City were adopted by
the first City Council. Over time changes occur which may necessitate the Council
to make amendments to the Municipal Code to properly reflect the status of certain
matters. In the present case, the City's provision of law enforcement is provided by
contract approved by the City Council with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department and not by an internal City Police Department with a City employed
Chief of Police. The City Council desires to amend the Municipal Code to remove
reference to the position of Chief of Police as falling under the City Manager as stated
in Section 2.08.070 to further clarify the current status.
Recommendation: That the City Council discuss and determine whether to introduce
for reading and direct bringing back for adoption, Ordinance No. 1007, Entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
SECTION 2.08.070 OF THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL
