E. Mosquito & Vector Control Board Appointment
Earlier this year, the City Council took action to reappoint Bob Bruesch as Rosemead's
representative to the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (SGVMVCD)
Board of Trustees for a one year term ending in March of 2007.
Recently, staff received correspondence from the SGVMVCD clarifying the state code
governing the appointment of trustees to the district board. These rules stipulate that any
appointment has to be for either a two-year period or a four-year period, and must begin on
January 1st (or for the balance of a term for a vacated office).
Based on this statue, the City Council has been asked to clarify Mr. Bruesch's term of
appointment, which will technically have an effective start date of January 1, 2006.
Recommendation: That the City Council appoint Bob Bruesch to a four-year term as the
City's representative on the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of
Trustees, effective as of January 1, 2006.

the business as a restaurant and would like to expand their operation to include dancing
and live entertainment seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following action:
1. Grant an entertainment and dance license to Casa Latina contingent on the
business owner complying with conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission, the Sheriffs Department, and staff.
