TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN

ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENFMISSION
FROM: V BILL CROWE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTO
DATE: AUGUST 5, 2003
RE: RESOLUTION NO. 2003-17 - A RESOLUTION OF THE ROSEMEAD
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION PAYMENT FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH PARK ADA AND BALLFIELD LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS
Attached for your consideration is a resolution finding that the proposed project will benefit
Project Area Nos. 1 and 2 by upgrading play equipment to meet ADA requirements and
providing ballfield lighting within and adjacent to the Project Areas, therefore, enhancing
the value of abutting properties.
The proposed improvements were previously budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2002-03
Community Development Commission Budget. When Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds became available, the projects were subsequently budgeted in Fiscal
Year 2003-04 utilizing CDBG funds. However, a recent HUD (U.S. Housing and Urban
Development) ruling indicated that play equipment upgrades not serving low-to moderate-
income areas are not CDBG eligible expenditures, even though they are required by the
ADA. Therefore, the play equipment upgrades at Rosemead Park and Rosemead
Community Recreation Center will not be funded by CDBG as the areas surrounding these
two facilities are above the income threshold. All rubber surfacing and walkway
improvements are CDBG-qualifying expenditures at any facility. Therefore, in order to
comply with the ADA requirements, it is recommended that the play equipment upgrades at
Rosemead Park and Rosemead Community Recreation Center be funded utilizing
Community Development Commission funds as they were proposed to be last fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Community Development Commission:

A RESOLUTION OF THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS WITH
RESPECT TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION PAYMENT FOR
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PARK ADA AND BALLFIELD LIGHTING.
IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the improvement project will take place at locations within and adjacent to the
boundaries of Project Area Nos. 1 and 2 as depicted in Exhibit "A"; and
WHEREAS, the improvements will serve to bring the play equipment at Rosemead Park and the
Rosemead Community Recreation Center into ADA compliance, and replace damaged ballfield lighting at
Garvey Park; and
WHEREAS, the total Community Development Commission obligation for the project shall not
exceed Forty-two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($42,500).
NOW, THEREFORE, the Rosemead Community Development Commission resolves as follows
Section 1. The Rosemead Community Development Commission finds, determines, and
declares:
(a)The payment bythe Rosemead Community Development Commission for costs associated with
the ADA play equipment improvements at Rosemead Park and Rosemead Community Recreation
Center, and ballfield lighting improvements at Garvey Park, as depicted in Exhibit "A", is of benefit
to the Project Area. This finding is based on the fact that the project will improve ADA access and
safety by upgrading play equipment and providing ballfield lighting within and adjacent to Project
Area Nos. 1 and 2, thus enhancing the value of abutting properties.
(b)That there are no other reasonable means of financing such buildings, facilities, structures or
other improvements available to the community. Although the City has a General Fund surplus,
the uncertainty of continuing municipal revenue sources militates against the depletion of the
existing reserves until such time as revenue sources and major required expenditures are
stabilized.
Section 2. The Commission Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of August, 2003.
