AGENCY STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: MATTHEW HAWKESWORTH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 25. 2012
SUBJECT: ROSEMEAD REDEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW AND ADMNISTRATIVE
COST ALLOWANCE
SUMMARY
The Rosemead Redevelopment Commission established is first project area on June
27, 1972 and its second project area on June 27, 2000. On March 10, 2009 the
Commission merged these two project areas into one allowing for greater flexibility in
addressing the remaining blighted conditions in the community. Throughout the years,
the Commission has remained on a consistent course of improving blighted areas
through infrastructure improvement projects and partnering with the County and school
districts without entering into financial arrangements to subsidize commercial
developers or businesses. The City and the former Commission are very proud of the
fact that they never used redevelopment funding to subsidize private business entities.
Along with completing numerous infrastructure projects throughout the years, the
Commission was also able to develop strong programs to encourage private investment
in rehabilitating and renovating commercial and retail business areas. This was done
through the Code Enforcement and Planning divisions with staff specifically assigned to
certain commercial corridors and target areas. Staff members were able to develop
strong working relationships with businesses to ultimately achieve blight removal and
revitalization through the installation of new signage, the painting of exteriors and the
removal of barbed wire and bars on windows. The Commission was also able to assist
in beautifying the area through the repair of sidewalks, the planting of street trees and
the construction or renovation of medians and parkways.
With the elimination of Redevelopment, the City as the Successor Agency has hopes to
continue many of these programs as funding permits. California Health and Safety
Code section 34171(b) provides that each Successor Agency will be provided with a
minimum of $250,000 in each fiscal year for administrative and ongoing operational
costs. Due to Rosemead's size and tax increment base, it is projected that Rosemead
will only receive this minimum amount. The Oversight Board has the responsibility to
review and approve the annual administrative cost allowance budget for the Successor
Agency.

Staff Recommendation:
That the Oversight Board approve Resolution 2012 -0004 regarding the administrative
cost allowance budget of $250,000.
BACKGROUND
Since 1972 when the Rosemead Community Development Commission was first
established, the Commission strived to remove or reduce blight in accordance with the
original intent of redevelopment law. During this time the Commission has completed
numerous improvement projects which not only provided a benefit to the City, but also
provided improvements necessary for County and school district programs to be
successful. These projects included:
• Construction of Fire Station No. 4 on San Gabriel Blvd.
• Development of the Sports Complex at Temple Intermediate School
• Construction of the Alhambra Wash Pedestrian Bridge for access to Rice School
• Construction of an all- weather track at Rosemead High School
• Construction of the County Library on South Del Mar (closed due to funding)
• Widening of the San Gabriel Blvd and Hwy 10 Overpasss
• Garvey Ave. water main improvements
• Storm drain installations
• Construction of two low- income senior housing complexes
• Undergrounding of utilities on Garvey Ave.
• Construction of medians along Rosemead Blvd. (State Hwy 19)
• Installation of ADA accessible pedestrian ramps at intersections
• Construction of the Zapopan Community Center (now the Public Safety Center)
and Zapopan Park
• Jogging Trail /Fitness Zones at Rosemead Park
• Original expansion of the Rosemead Community Recreation Center
• Owner occupied residential rehab loans and grants
• Acquisition of residential low- income single family housing
• Construction of the Rosemead Aquatics Center which is used by both Rosemead
High School and San Gabriel High School for athletics and physical education
Many of the projects listed above were funded from the proceeds of tax increment
bonds issued by the Commission. The Successor Agency is now responsible for the
oversight and repayment of the existing outstanding bonds which consist of the Series
2006A, 2006B and 2010A bonds. Costs related to the repayment and oversight must
be accounted for as part of the Administrative Cost Allowance. Furthermore, all staffing,
supplies, legal and other related contractual costs directly related to the Successor
Agency may also be charged to the Administrative Cost Allowance.
The Oversight Board is required to approve the Administrative Cost Allowance budget
for each fiscal year (July — June). Due to the unique timing of the first meeting and the
implementation of all the new regulations, two fiscal years are being presented to the
Oversight Board for approval. The Oversight Board is requested to approve both the
2011 -2012 and 2012 -2013 Fiscal Year budgets.
