ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND MUNIFINANCIAL
MOTION BY COMMISSIONER IMPERIAL, SECOND BY VICE-CHAIRMAN VASQUEZ
that the Commission approve the Consulting Services Agreement between the Commission and
MuniFinancial. Before vote could result, more discussion ensued.
Commissioner Taylor stated that nowhere in the City's budget does it designate the allocation of
the source of funding for what the Community Development Commission is reimbursing the City for City
Services. Mr. Taylor addressed the fact that Mr. Tripepi, ofMuniFinancial, is still on payroll as is Mr.
Crowe, and now Mr. Tripepi will be receiving payment for consulting services also.
Chairman Bruesch stated that there are always loose ends to tie up.
Commissioner Taylor stated that the Agreement with Mr. Tripepi is a duplication of efforts and
that he is concerned that information that a consultant acquires at a meeting with developers will be
secondhand.
Bill Crowe, Executive Director, replied that Mr. Tripepi will perform consulting services
approximately 5 to 10 hours per month and added that Mr. Tripepi is a valuable additional resource. Mr.
Crowe assured the Commission that the consultant contract would be temporary and that he would closely
supervise the services to be rendered.

Chairman Bruesch stated, that for the record, a proposal is not necessarily a commitment and that
GRAE Ventures was probably just looking at different options. Mr. Bruesch continued that a firm
financially sound commitment is required before the Commission considers any developments.

final proposal responses are received from interested developers.
