Scott Bradshaw, President of SiFi Networks introduced his company FiberCity
Brands as a private investment company that focuses to install fiber into residential
homes, creating a network where any service provider can use the infrastructure to
provide competitive pricing to customers. Mr. Bradshaw clarified that no public tax
dollars are used to create the infrastructure but funded by investors. By using this
type of model, the investment is not predicated on residents using the network, and
in turn allows residents to become the beneficiaries to use the network. He
explained SiFi Networks offers a reduced wholesale rate to ISP's, who in turn offer
a low-cost service to residents. He explained the program will create local jobs and
focus on employing locally. There will be community liaisons to inform residents

phases. The duct is placed in the public right of way, the street next to the curb, if
a resident would like to purchase the service, a fiber is floated from the duct to the
residents' home.
Mayor Pro Tem Dang asked if the process of installing is done in one day and if
the process of the ducts is destructive.

between internet services, in places like apartments and mobile homes.

established under Act. This report is intended to continue the discussion and
provide additional information including responses to questions and concerns

posed during the January 25, 2022 meeting. Upon completion of the presentation,
staff requests City Council provide direction on methodology to be used to
determine lost revenue and use of the remaining funds.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the acceptance of the $10
million standard allowance for public sector lost revenue and provide direction on
the use of remaining SLFRF.
City Manager Kim reported that following the presentation, the City Council will
have two options to discuss. The City will be receiving $17.8 million, and the City
Council will have to choose between Option 1, take the standard allocation of $10
million that is offered to every City and have that as the unrestricted fund that will
go into the general fund. The $7.8 million would be spent for eligible expenses.
Option 2 would do the accounting for the lost of revenue. The lost of revenue would
go into the unrestrictive fund. The second part of the discussion is the eligible
activities of the $7.8 million if Option I is chosen.
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain presented a summary of the American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The American Rescue Plan Relief Bill was approved by
Congress on March 11, 2021. She stated the Final Rule was issued January 6, 2022
and became effective April 1 2022. She explained what was being called the ARPA
Funds, was actually referred to as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds (SLFRF). She elaborated that $350 billion was for State, Local Territorial
and Tribal Governments. The City of Rosemead was given
$17, 878,653 mil for expenses from March 3, 2021, through December 31, 2024.
The funds must be fully obligated by December 2024 and expended by December
2026.
She broke down the Four Primary categories for the use of the funds, being, Public
Sector Revenues, Public Health & Economic Response, Premium Pay for Essential
Workers, and Water, Sewer and Broadband Infrastructure. She stated SLFRF can
be approved in stages if it is fully obligated by December 31, 2024. It must be
revisited and readjusted as costs are refined, programs implemented, other funding
opportunities identified, and other priorities change throughout time. All use of
funds is subject to the approval of the Council and appropriation. She also explained
that all expenditures must adhere to the Purchasing Policies and Procedures,
including certain Federal guidelines. She noted there will be various reporting
obligations and audits to ensure the funds are being accounted for and submitted to
the Federal Clearinghouse.
Interim Finance Director Chapman explained that in response to the financial
impacts of the pandemic, the City needs to determine the lost in revenue using
Option 1 or Option 2 to receive federal funds. Option 1, the $10 million can be used
for government projects or services and reporting obligations are feasible using the
Treasury formula. There's no evaluation of the lost in revenue calculation, no
annual calculation and immediately have access to the $10 million.
Rosemead City Council Regular Meeting
Minutes of March 8, 2022
Page 9 of 13
Option 2, the revenue received is the most flexible, you don't have to categorize it.
The ability to receive more than $10 million for general services and projects if the
actual lost in revenue is less than expected in future years. The con of Option 2 is
more accounting requirements to the US Treasury for each type of category. Funds
are only available for the lost in revenue established each year. In 2019-2020 fiscal
year, the city was $3.4 million short, and in Fiscal Year 21-22, the city was $3.9
million short. City staff analyzed different scenarios, and revenue growth to if the
Council chooses Optionl, the city could get the full $17.8 million for general
purposes, or worst-case scenario choosing Option 2, get the $10 million, but using
the federal rate of 5.2, the city could potentially receive less than the $10 million is
the city's revenues climb above five percent.
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain continued with her presentation
summarizing the various projects, under the categories for the use of the federal
funds. Under the Public Health & Economic Response, responding to Negative
Economic Impacts includes assistance to households, small businesses, nonprofits,
and impacted industries, and public sector capacity. Through the public sector
capacity category, the City is able to increase its full-time staffing by 4.5 positions
with SLFRF funding provide worker retention incentives including reasonable
increases in compensation. Premium Pay for Essential Workers, the premium pay
may be provided to private and public sector employees providing essential services
up to a rate of $13/hour but cannot exceed $25,000 per employee. Then the final
category Water, Sewer and Broadband Infrastructure, includes improvements to
water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure in the City.
Mayor Low thanked Interim Finance Director Chamberlain for the presentation and
opened the discussion for the City Council to choose Option 1 or Option 2. She
asked if the City goes with Option 2, there is a chance that the City could receive
less than the $10 million.
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain explained that the current revenues of the
City continue to grow at their current rate and that would impact how much the city
could receive.
Council Member Clark asked for clarification on the lost of revenue mentioned for
Fiscal Years 19-20 and 20-21.
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain explained that the total lost of revenue for
those two accumulated fiscal years was $7 million.
Council Member Tang stated that if you take the full $17.8 million it's unrestricted
funds. The City Council could decide on what or how to use the $17.8 million. He
opined that Option 1 aligns with the City Council and the remaining $7.8 million
of restricted funds would be projects the City Council would prioritize and fund
anyways.

Minutes ofMarch 8, 2022
Page 10 of 13
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain explained that in Option 1, you get the entire
$17.8 million and the Option 2, you must earn the funding, based on your lost of
revenue.
Mayor Low stated there was consensus of the City Council and asked for a motion
ACTION: Motion by Council Member Tang, seconded by Council Member Clark
to proceed with Option 1, authorize the acceptance of the $10 million standard
allowance for public sector lost revenue and provide direction on the use of
remaining SURE Motion was carried by the following roll call vote: AYES:
Armenta, Clark, Dang, Low and Tang, NOES: None.
Council Member Armenta inquired about the list of proposed allocations of SURF
funds. She asked about the Zapopan Park Walking Trail item and recalled that the
walking trail was only five years old. The amount being proposed is about the same
amount it would take to fix the Rosemead Park Walking Trail.
Director of Public Works Chung explained that upon inspection of the Zapopan
Walking Trail, there is significant lift of the synthetic layer of the walking track
that has lifted off of the subbase and there's areas where there's deterioration. City
staff is evaluating the entire walking trail.
Council Member Armenta expressed concern that the Zapopan Walking Trail has
much more damage in a short time frame. Also, inquired about the testing supplies
line item being proposed. She noted that she thought the COVID CDBG funds
covered the testing supplies.
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain stated that staff will make sure there is no
double dipping of funds. The proposed line items have not been reimbursed by
CDBG yet.
Council Member Clark expressed concern about the storm drain VMP development
projects. Stated that capturing stormwater is great, but distributed capture can cost
$12,000 an acre foot, compared to centralized where you divert it to a spreading
crown is up to $1,300 an acre foot. She also noted that she watched a webinar on
capturing pollutants and capture projects, by Dr. Luthy for Harvard indicating that
we don't know enough about it to know that it won't actually pollute the ground
water. She asked that staff to look into this since getting free money from the
government is still taxpayer money and we want the most cost-effective way to
capture stormwater and to meet our stormwater regulations.
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain replied the stormwater project would be
outside of the money being discussed.
Council Member Tang asked if there were any funds available for use to assist the
sheriff Department on the camera system they have deployed in some areas of the
City or the Public Safety facility.

Interim Finance Director Chamberlain stated that technology does qualify under
the $10 million unrestricted funds or restrictive funds. However, the facility is being
assessed to see if unrestrictive funds can be used.
Council Member Tang stated there is a need for facilities, transportation, and sewer
management, all that. Would like to see what can be used for the restrictive
categories first.
Council Member Armenta inquired about essential workers premium pay award for
employee. Are there employees only getting paid $13 an hour?
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain clarified that the premium pay is an addition
to their regular pay up to $13 an hour.
Council Member Armenta asked about the landscaping and lighting items on the
list of proposed projects.
Interim Finance Director Chamberlain explained that city staff would be looking at
the list of Capital Improvement projects. There is money left over in the lighting
district.
Mayor Low asked if there are any project ideas to forward them to City staff to take
a look at. She mentioned that her priority is Public Safety and assisting the business
community.
