FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2024
SUBJECT: BANNER PROGRAM LOCATION DISCUSSION
SUMMARY
At the January 23, 2024 City Council meeting, Mayor Ly requested for an agenda item to discuss
the banner military program location and the possibility of moving the banners to the bridge on
Garvey Avenue.
The City's Military Hero Banner Program was established to honor recognize Rosemead residents
and immediate family members, who are activity duty members or veterans of the United States
Armed Services. The Rosemead Military Hero Banner Program began accepting applications in
2017.
There are 22 participants in the Military Hero Banner Program. All the banners are currently
placed on Valley Blvd. Valley Blvd can accommodate up to 50 banners, one per pole. There are
five poles that are located on the Garvey Ave bridge. Each pole can hold two banners which would
accommodate a total of 20 banners. Banners would need to be hung in two different locations to
accommodate the current number of banners.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss and provide staff direction.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT
Meets the Responsive, Inclusive City Goal. The objective of this goal is that Rosemead will
continue to provide quality services that are inclusive and responsive to meet the changing needs
of our diverse community.
FISCAL IMPACT
There could be costs associated with hanging the banners on the Garvey Ave bridge. These costs
will vary depending on the repairs needed.
