PRESENTATIONS:
1. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
Oscar Cazares, 2433 La Presa Avenue, Rosemead, voiced a number of complaints. Mr.
Cazares stated that the street light in front of his house has been replaced with a refractive light
that flashes into his bedroom, and is a different type from the others on his street. Mr. Cazares
stated that he called SC Edison and was told to call the City. When he did, the City referred him
back to Edison as the City does not maintain the poles.

Councilman Taylor stated that SC Edison is their own entity. The City cannot tell them
what to install.
Mayor Pro Tern Clark asked who is responsible for the poles?
Ken Rukavina, City Engineer, explained that SC Edison is responsible for maintaining
the poles, lights and lens. Mr. Rukavina continued that each pole has a number on it to enable
SCE to readily identify exactly where the poles are.
Councilman Imperial suggested that Mr. Cazares work with the Assistant City Manager
on this matter.
Mr. Cazares stated that a City employee parks his vehicle across the street from him 24
hours a day. Mr. Cazares continued that the vehicle is not moved on street sweeping day, and is
never cited.
Bill Crowe, City Manager, stated that staff will investigate this matter.
Mr. Cazares stated that another parking problem is with a neighbor that parks his vehicles
on the street, and only moves it on street sweeping day. Mr. Cazares asked if a vehicle can be
cited if it is not moved after three days.
Councilman Taylor requested clarification on whether or not a homeowner can park his
vehicle in front of his house for more than three days.
Lt. Wallace, Temple Station, replied that a vehicle parked over 72 hours can be red
tagged. If the car is moved in the meantime, then the red tag is voided. If the car is unmoved for
another 72 hours, then it can be considered an abandoned vehicle and towed.
Councilman Taylor requested that the City Manager provide the California Vehicle Code
section just discussed for Mr. Casares and himself.
