A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION PAYMENT FOR COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECONSTRUCTION OF VIRGINIASTREET WEST
OF DENTON AVENUE
WHEREAS, the improvement project will take place at a location within and adjacent to the
boundaries of Project Area No. 1 as depicted in Exhibit "A"; and
WHEREAS, the reconstruction of the Virginia Street west of Denton Avenue will serve to upgrade
City streets, improve public safety and reduce maintenance costs throughout the network of streets that
have been previously improved with financing from the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency; and
WHEREAS, the total Community Development Commission obligation for the.project shall not
exceed One Hundred Forty-five Thousand Dollars ($145,000).
NOW, THEREFORE, the Rosemead City Council resolves as follows:
Section 1. The Rosemead City Council finds, determines, and declares:
(a)The payment by the Rosemead Community Development Commission for costs associated with
the reconstruction of Virginia Street, as depicted in Exhibit "A", is of benefit to the Project Area.
This finding is based on the fact that the improvements will serve to improve the infrastructure and
eliminate blighting conditions by providing standard street improvements, including drainage and
street lighting, enhanced public safety and improved vehicular access along roadways within and
adjacent to Project Areas No. 1, 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 City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of November, 2002.

PROJECT LOCATION A
John Brady, 8337 E. Village Lane, Rosemead, thanked the Council on behalf of himself
and other residents in that area for reconsidering the project and for listening to their concerns
and objections. Mr. Brady stated that they are willing to work with the City. However, their
preference is for a nice residential development in that area.
John Salas, 4426 Walnut Grove, Rosemead, owner of a barbershop on San Gabriel
Boulevard in Rosemead, stated that the majority of people he has talked to favor a Wal-Mart
here. Mr. Salas continued that Wal-Mart would benefit the City concerning revenue and
employment opportunities. Mr. Salas confirmed that Southern California Edison has to sell that
parcel regardless, and that Wal-Mart is a good store for that area. Mr. Salas concluded that the
City has already lost a lot of businesses.
