1. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
Guadalupe Olmos, 3326 Angelus Avenue, Rosemead, and Salvatore Telama, son-in-law,
who will help translate for Mrs. Olmos came to the podium. Mr. Telama stated that Mrs. Olmos
received a letter from Code Enforcement regarding code violations in a dwelling at the back of
their property. Mrs. Olmos was directed to contact the Planning Department to schedule an
appointment to allow inspection of that dwelling. Mr. Telama stated that since that time several
appointments have been scheduled and cancelled without prior notification or explanation on the
part of the City. Mr. Telama stated that one of the reasons given was that no one was at home at
the scheduled time. However, he continued, the entire family was at home on that occasion.
Since then, Code Enforcement sent a letter stating that legal action will be taken. Mr. Telama
stated that they have been trying to comply.
Mayor Imperial directed staff to schedule a meeting with Mrs. Olmos and the Code
Enforcement Officer.
Mayor Pro Tern Bruesch explained that it may have been a matter of miscommunication.
Mr. Telama explained that Mrs. Olmos was very disconcerted that she was accused of not
being at home at the appointment time, when she was. Mr. Telama stated that she felt it was not
a lack of communication, but a lack of integrity from this individual in making the statement that
she was not there.
