4. MATTERS FROM CITY COUNCIL & STAFF
A. Citywide User Fee Study
On December 15, 1992, the Rosemead City Council enacted user fees for planning,
engineering, parks & recreation, and development permitting services. Since that time, the
City has not conducted a comprehensive user fee study to determine whether or not our
current fee structure is in alignment with the true cost of providing such services. In
response to this concern, the City requested a proposal from MuniFinancial regarding the
preparation of a comprehensive Citywide user fee study.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to
enter into an agreement with MuniFinancial for an amount not to exceed $42,500 for the
purpose of commissioning a Citywide user fee study and to appropriate the required
funding from available fund balance.
B. Senate Bill 1778
On April 26, 2006, the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County sent the City a
letter requesting that Rosemead go on the record in opposition to Senate Bill (SB) 1778 by
Senator Richard Alarcon.
SB 1778 seeks to eliminate the diversion credit cities currently receive for recycling green
waste materials. If approved, the legislation would make the State mandated 50% solid
waste diversion rate extremely taxing for all municipalities.

ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA May 9, 2006
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Vote to oppose SB 1778
2. Direct the City Manager to send a letter to each member of the Senate Appropriations
Committee stating the City's opposition to SB 1778.
C. Authorization of Funding for New City Employee
After review of the City Clerk's office staffing needs to meet ongoing work priorities and an
increased workload, it would be prudent and efficient to consider terminating the current
contract with Stivers Staffing Services and instead hire one fulltime employee.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to terminate the City's current contract with
Stivers Staffing Services for administrative support in the City Clerk's office.
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to hire a fulltime employee for the City
Clerk's office and appropriate an amount not to exceed $10,000 from available fund
balance to pay for the new position through the end of the current 2005-2006 fiscal
year.
3. Direct staff to include funding for this new position in the 2006-2007 budget.
