Agencymember Clark questioned the $17,500 spent on the project.
Al Rodriquez, City Engineer, responded that the project includes an inventory of every
street and alley in the City. The information is then entered into a computer program and
analyzed according to its "life cycle." All street improvements and maintenance work is also
included in the program with the entire process taking about three months.
Chairman Bruesch asked if there will be someone actually evaluating every street and
will this report be given to the utility companies for their 5-year plan.

Mr. Rodriguez responded that someone will be inspecting and evaluating every street.
Mr. Rodriguez stated further that their recommendations are always given to the utility
companies to enable them to budget and plan accordingly.
Chairman Bruesch stated that there has been problems of utility companies digging up
a street after the City has finished a project.
Frank Tripepi, Executive Director, responded that this has not happened recently. If a
utility company should have to dig up a street within the first five years, then they will have
to pay for all costs and that the companies have an incentive to develop their capital programs
around the City.
Vice-Chairman Taylor requested a monthly list of activities performed on public streets
from the utility companies. Mr. Taylor stated further that his street and surrounding streets
have had recurring watermain leaks within the last two to three years.
Mr. Tripepi stated that because of that problem, many cities have taken over water
companies because there are no requirements for these companies to turn any of their profits
back into a capital upgrade system.

where they do not exist at present.

6. ADOPTION OF ROSEMEAD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN
Agencymember Vasquez arrives.
Chairman Bruesch pointed out omissions and corrections to Table 4.
Agencymember Clark requested clarification of the area median income level for Los
Angeles County and Rosemead.
Don Wagner, Assistant City Manager, responded that Los Angeles County Median
Income level was used and 40% of the Median was decided upon for Rosemead.
Vice-Chairman Taylor requested clarification of Table 6, Total Costs and the
construction financing cost on Page 9, and clarification of the Implementation Schedule also
on Page 9.
Frank Tripepi responded that the Implementation Schedule will be changed from
December 31, 2009, to March 31, 1995, by which time the senior housing will be completed.
Vice-Chairman Taylor requested the inclusion of "additions or remodel work" to the
items under the first paragraph of Page 12. Mr. Taylor then asked what is the intent of
acquiring mobile home parks, as described on Page 14, Year Three.
Jeff Stewart, Executive Assistant explained that several Bills were approved last year
which allows Agency's to assist the renters or owners of trailer parks to buy the parcels.
Vice-Chairman Taylor referred to California Housing Finance Agency and Home
Investment Partnership Program and stated his reluctance to indicate that the Agency is in a
position to take over the acquisition of selected mobile home parks. Mr. Taylor stated that
he is will not be able to endorse the Implementation Plan as it specifically targets mobile home
parks and that Agency "may" or "will" start acquisition proceedings against the parks
Mr. Tripepi responded that the Implementation Plan does not give any Agency, present
or future, any more or any less authority than that Agency already has under the current
Redevelopment Law to go in and take a mobile home park or any other business, if they wish
to do so.
Chairman Bruesch stated that one of the reasons for senior housing is that the mobile
home parks are substandard and the Implementation Plan needs to address this issue.
Vice-Chairman Taylor stated that this issue can be addressed in different ways and
acquiring parks is not free enterprise.

Mr. Tripepi stated that corrections and changes can be made to the Plan. This a
required plan but can be changed by the Agency at any given time.
Robert Kress, Agency Attorney, suggested adding "voluntary" acquisition of selected
mobile home parks to the Year Three section.
Agencymember Imperial suggested adding "when necessary" instead.
Mr. Kress suggested the addition of a clause stating that at the end of the first year
the Agency review all available options, including replacement of mobile home units.
After further discussion, the Agency decided to defer this item to the December 27,
1994 meeting.
