IV. CONSENT CALENDAR - RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL
CC-A APPROVAL OF PROPOSED SPECIAL TARGET AREA 2
In FY 2003-2004, the City Council created the Zapopan Park Target Area for
proactive code enforcement. At the time of creation, the City Council stipulated
that additional target areas be determined for program expansion. In the 2005-
2010 Consolidated Plan, the City Council approved the creation of an additional
target area between 2005 and 2007. Based on code enforcement and crime
statistics, staff proposes to create special Target Area Number 2. The boundaries
of Target Area 2 would be as follows: Garvey Avenue on the north,
Walnut Grove on the east, Klingerman on the south and San Gabriel Boulevard on
the west.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the creation of special Target
Area 2 and authorize staff to implement proactive code enforcement.
CC-B APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO THE CITY'S RESIDENTIAL
REHABILITATION PROGRAM
The current CDBG-funded residential rehabilitation programs have been in effect
since 1996. Since that time, there have been significant increases in construction
costs and in regulations. Construction costs have especially escalated within the
last two (2) years. Staff proposes to increase amounts under the Handyman
Grant, Rebate and Deferred Interest Loan for households who are not
handicapped/disabled or over the age of 62.
In legislative changes, California EPA and federal law under 40 CFR Part 61 now
require the inspection and abatement of any asbestos in renovations of 160 square
feet of building materials or 260 linear feet of pipe insulation. The use of asbestos
in residential construction was banned in 1980. Units constructed before this time
may have asbestos in any pipe insulation or flooring.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt
proposed changes to the City's Residential Rehabilitation and Lead Remediation
Guidelines.

ASSOCIATION NATIONAL CONFERENCE, APRIL 22-26, SAN ANTONIO,
TEXAS

CC-H APPROVAL OF CPI ADJUSTMENT FOR CALIFORNIA STREET
MAINTENANCE AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR REQUEST
FOR PROPOSALS FOR STREET SWEEPING SERVICES
California Street Maintenance has been providing street sweeping services to the
City since 1990. The City's current contract with California Street Maintenance
allows for the contractor to request an annual contract extension and cost-of-
living adjustment. When an existing contract is extended or renewed, AQMD
rules now require that street sweeping fleets be converted to clean burning fleets.
Therefore, any contract amendment to Clean Street's contract would require
substantial changes in scope along with large cost increases. Thus, it will be
necessary to advertise for bids for street sweeping services compliant with
AQMD rules in order to comply with the City's purchasing ordinance. During the
process of advertising for bids and award of a new street sweeping contract, Clean
Street will continue to provide street sweeping services. Therefore, granting a
CPI adjustment of 7.5 percent (July 2003 through July 2005) to Clean Street
retroactive to July 1, 2005, is warranted. The proposed new rate to be granted to
Clean Street is $13,995.56.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Rosemead City Council approve a
7.5% CIP adjustment for California Street Maintenance retroactive to July 1,
2005, and authorize staff to advertise for bids for street sweeping services
compliant with AQMD rules.
