ROSEMEAD REBELS FOOTBALL - BANNER SIGN FUNDING REQUEST
Jess Gonzalez, 3856 N. Bartlett, Rosemead, spoke on behalf of the Rosemead Rebels Football
organization. Mr. Gonzalez noted several former Rebels that have gone on to attain success in their
fields. Mr. Gonzales stated the Rebels have an aggressive recruiting program. However, their flyers
are not always distributed at the school level and many kids are unaware of their program. Mr.
Gonzales stated that hanging a sign-up banner across Garvey Avenue would benefit their recruitment
program.
Discussion ensued about the size of the banner. It was agreed that the banner would be 4' x
30'.
Councilman Imperial congratulated Mr. Gonzalez for all of his efforts and hard work overthe
years and for turning out outstanding citizens.

Councilman Taylor stated he spoke with staff after the last Council about the hundreds of tons
of asphalt that are being dumped into the gravel pits at the Peck Road water basin settling area. Mr.
Taylor questioned why an oil product is being dumped there. The memo he received in response dealt
with the asphalt being stored for MTA purposes, which is at another location. Mr. Taylor stated that
the water in the rock quarries is part of the water table, and cited as an example what a gallon of gas
does to millions of gallons of water.
