As part of the recruitment process, authorization is requested to place an ad in the Chamber's

mailed to prior Commission applicants. The recommended final date to file applications will be on

Rosemead Report, post notices, mail letters to prior applicants, with a filing deadline date of

B. COUNCILMAN TAYLOR
Asked if the water or gas lines have been changed on the Lorica Street improvement
project. Mr. Taylor stated his concern with the gas lines for potential leaks as they are probably
40 years old.
Ken Rukavina, City Engineer, responded that the Gas Company was asked to do a leak
survey and to replace any problem lines. Mr. Rukavina continued that the Gas Company has a
five year moratorium on doing any repairs or improvements unless they are emergencies.
Mr. Taylor asked if the gas lines were visually checked for corrosion.
Mr. Rukavina responded that the Gas Company did a leak survey, but did not actually dig
down to visually inspect them.
Councilman Taylor asked what assurance is there of the pipes not leaking. Mr. Taylor
requested a reconfirmation from the Gas Company that they are satisfied that there are no
potential leaks.
