5. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
6. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. State and Federal Telecommunications Legislation
On May 31, 2006, the California State Assembly approved Assembly Bill (AB 2987) by a
vote of 77 - 0 - 3. If signed into law, this measure would establish a statewide franchise
for video cable services and enact significant changes to the telecommunications industry
in California, thus causing a significant negative impact on the City and its residents.
In Congress, House Resolution (HR) 5252, the Community Opportunity, Promotion, and
Enhancement (COPE) Act is currently being considered and would enact
telecommunication regulations that would negatively affect the City of Rosemead in a
manner similar to that of AB 2987
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following action:
1. Vote to oppose AB 2987 and HR 5252.
2. Direct the City Manager to send correspondences to the appropriate agencies and
individuals regarding the City's opposition to AB 2987 and HR 5252.
B. Citywide User Fee Study
On May 9, 2006, staff was directed to bring back for City Council consideration a revised
comprehensive citywide user fee study proposal from MuniFinancial which excluded an
analysis of current building fees. This proposed analysis will examine the true cost of
providing certain municipal services to the community, resulting in the creation of an
updated user fee schedule that when collected, will generate enough revenue to cover the
actual cost of the service being provided. If the City Council wishes to commission such a
report, an allocation of $42,500 will have to be made from available fund balance.
