1. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
Jane Coffman, 8816 De Adalena, Rosemead, complained that the playground area at the
Rosemead Community Center is now locked. Mrs. Coffman requested that the playground be
opened so that the children in the community can play there.
Councilman Taylor requested a report from staff regarding the scheduling and usage of
the play area.
Michael Burbank, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that the playground area was
rebuilt two weeks ago because of damage and vandalism done by older school kids from
Muscatel and Rosemead High School. Mr. Burbank continued that the playground was then left
open and within five days, the same type of vandalism was occurring again. Mr. Burbank
explained that the vandalism occurs between the hours of 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., and locking of the
play area during those hours is being considered.
Mrs. Coffman agreed that those hours are reasonable as the neighborhood children can
play there after 4:00 p.m.

industry for 15 years and was out on strike for 4 Yz months. Mr. Garcia stated that he just learned
that Wal-Mart is trying to come to Rosemead. Mr. Garcia continued that Wal-Mart will affect
his future and the future of his family negatively if Wal-Mart comes here. Mr. Garcia requested

mailing list.
