CDC - Item 2 - Replastering Of Garvey Park PoolTO: BILL CROINE, DIRECTOR
FROM: MICHAEL D. BURBANK, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATI N
DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 2003 .
RE: REPLASTERING OF GARVEY PARK POOL
The Garvey Park Pool is a plaster pool and is used about three (3) months out of the
year (June - August). At the end of each season, the pool is drained until the following
June, when its refilled.
The problem with the pool is that plastered pools need to have water in them all the
time or thev start to develop cracks that eventually expand and water starts to leak from
the pool.
Last year we spent considerable time trying to locate and repair the leaks just before
opening to the public because they only became apparent once the pool was filled.
The proposed solution is to replaster the pool which will remove all the cracks and keep
it filled all year-round similar to Rosemead Pool. This will eliminate last year's
problem. It will add some additional utility and maintenance cost to the budget, but we
will not have to go through this process again or worry about not being able to open to
the public as we have the past two (2) seasons.
Our pool consultant, Rowley International, estimates it will take three (3) weeks to
replaster the pool and cost approximately $ 80,000.00. Their fee is $ 15,000.00 and
provides for engineering, development of construction drawings and specifications and
site observation during construction.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Rosemead Community Development Commission provide
$ 100,000.00 from its Unappropriated Reserve to have Garvey Pool replastered, approve
the use of Rowley International as the engineer to develop the necessary specifications
and bid documents and authorize staff to solicit bids upon the completion of the
specifications.

THE RECONSTRUCTION OF VIRGINIA AVENUE WEST OF DENTON
AVENUE
MOTION BY COMMISSIONER IMPERIAL, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER
VASQUEZ that the Commission adopt Resolution No. 2002-22. Before vote could result, more
discussion ensued.
Chairman Bruesch asked if the street reconstruction would lead to the redirection of the
auto carriers onto the Auto Auction property.
Ed Pullen, Manager of L.A. Auto Auction, replied that they do not have any control over
the independent auto transporters for the auto dealers. Mr. Pullen stated that the trucks dealing
with the Auction are on their lot. The car dealerships around them receive cars from out of state
and the truckers park wherever they can. Mr. Pullen concluded that this project will not affect
the Auction.
Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, Rosemead, asked if the reconstruction will open Virginia to
Brighton?
Mayor Bruesch replied that it will not. This will be a brand new road. Denton will be
closed and the street will basically be a continuation of Strathmore.
Mr. Nunez complained that there was a truck loading cars on Del Mar near Garvey.
Mr. Pullen asked Mr. Nunez to notify him whenever there is a truck parked on Del Mar
and they will take care of that problem.
Councilmember Imperial stated that the Auto Auction is beneficial to the community, and
that they do the best they can to keep the street cleared of trucks. Mr. Imperial commended Mr.
Pullen for the job they are doing.
Councilman Taylor asked why federal money is not being used for the entire street?
Bill Crowe, City Manager, replied that CDBG money will be used for everything but the
design, which will use redevelopment funds.

4. REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS - NORTHWEST CORNER OF
TEMPLE CITY AND VALLEY BOULEVARDS
Bill Crowe, City Manager, reported that the three proposals were reviewed again and
were found to be lacking in various components, and they are not recommended for further
consideration at this time. Mr. Crowe stated that there is a fourth proposal. One of the existing
property owners is discussing with an adjoining property owner the prospect of combining the
two larger parcels.
Councilman Taylor stated that the fourth proposal seems to be the most optimistic since
the property owners are undertaking this project on their own.
Mr. Crowe explained that the property owner needs to accomplish such things as tie up
the parcels and the evolution of a plan by the developer before this item is brought back to the
Council.
Mayor Bruesch asked how many units and what size does the developer propose for a
high-density senior housing.
Steve Copenhaver replied that the developers plans are still conceptual.

feet.
Mayor Bruesch said that he's heard that there will be over 150 units at about 800 square
Mr. Copenhaver replied that their plans are not worked out yet. The plans are more or
less just blocked out. Mr. Copenhaver continued that the developer has used high numbers with
high density. Mr. Copenhaver stated that the developer has not asked the Housing Development
Corporation nor the Community Development Commission to assist with a low-income housing
project, that he wants to build a market rate senior housing building.
Councilman Taylor stated that he would like to keep this a free enterprise project if
possible, as it should be.
Mr. Cophenhaver explained that the plans are still in an early development stage. The
developer has not prepared a Proforma to determine if this project will work economically.
Councilman Taylor stated that the owners deserve to be encouraged with this project.
Mr. Taylor stated that realistically, that area will not attract a large retail store. Supermarkets
such as Food 4 Less have surveyed that area and do not want to come in.
MOTION BY COMMISSIONER IMPERIAL, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER
TAYLOR that the Commission receive and file the proposals and authorize staff to notify and
thank the three developers for their efforts and inform them of the City's decision to not proceed
with any of the three proposals. Vote resulted:
Aye:
Vasquez, Clark, Bruesch, Imperial, Taylor
No:
None
Absent:
None
Abstain:
None
The Chairman declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.

6. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS
Chairman Bruesch stated that the Garvey Center and Senior Housing are very impressive
and commended Mr. Copenhaver and the architects.
Commissioner Taylor requested an update on the security system.
Chairman Bruesch requested wrought iron fencing be added to the existing wall on the
west side to prevent people from climbing over it and entering onto the property.
Steve Copenhaver, GRC Consultant, requested that if the camera based security system is
less that $10,000 that the Executive Director be allowed to approve the contract.
Commissioner Taylor stated that he is concerned with how many cameras there are and
where they are located.
Executive Director Bill Crowe stated that they will all be external with the exception of
the lobby area.
Commission Taylor stated that cameras should be placed at the back parking lot, the
parking area facing the wash, and especially the front area parking lot where there is no visibility
from the street. Mr. Taylor emphasized his concern that when employees leave the facility at
night, they are unprotected.
Dale Brown, Onyx Architects, stated that money has been set aside for security cameras.
Mr. Copenhaver stated that the security system item will be brought back before the
Commission.
