For the past two years, I have enjoyed the privilege of serving on
the Rosemead Traffic Commission. During that time, I believe that
the Commission has considered a variety of important issues, and.I
like to think that my contribution to these proceedings has been
significant.
My current term on the Traffic Commission expires this month.
Therefore, I am respectfully requesting re-appointment for another
two-year term. I believe that I can continue to serve.the Commission
well and serve the best interests of Rosemead residents.
I thank you for your consideration of this matter and I look forward
to serving an additional term on the Rosemead Traffic Commission.
Sincerely,
AL PINON
Traffic Commissioner

C. COUNCILMAN BRUESCH
VERBATIM DIALOGUE FOLLOWS:
BRUESCH: In response to a TV article, I had occasion to talk to a
couple of parents who were asking me what protection do they have over
the items being sold from ice cream vendors; the trucks going up and
down the streets. I didn't see the article but they say that in Los
Angeles there was an inspection made of trucks and about a third of
the articles were deemed inedible or potentially hazardous to health.
They brought up another comment was that sometimes on a warm day they
might have six or seven trucks up and down. I asked them if it was
the same truck and they said they didn't know, they just closed their
doors to keep their kids in. I said I'd present this question to the
council. Is there any way that a small city such as this can regulate
what is sold out of those trucks? Is there an inspection method or do
we have to go through the County?
McDONALD: In the City of E1 Monte in which I work I wrote an
ordinance where I inspect all the mobile cooking vehicles but that's
actually for fire protection but we also check for cleanliness and we
cite them. I think the Health Department has to look at every vehicle
that sells ice cream but there's a lot of illegal, I imagine, ice
cream vendors especially with their little boxes that we try to keep
out of this City. I don't know. Does staff have any suggestions?
DONALD J. WAGNER, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER: The way the ordinance is
set up, they have to provide us with proof of a Health Department
inspection of the vehicle as well as all the other documentation on
the ice cream truck. The only vehicles we license are the ice cream
trucks and once they provide that to us and then we.issue them a
business license.
McDONALD: And that business license is good for how long? And then
we look at the truck again?
FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER: It's relicensed.
