March 26, 2013
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation can be used for social service
activities. In addition, under the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) program, at least
15% must be set aside for a CHDO.
The Federal government is currently working on allocating CDBG and HOME funding awards
and has not yet announced the final amounts to each participating community; however, it is
estimated that the City of Rosemead will sustain a 5.1% funding reduction to both allocations
due to the 2013 Sequestration. Based on this estimated reduction, a summary of projects
has been prepared according to the funding requests for ongoing CDBG and HOME funded
activities.
Recommendation: That the City Council review and finalize the CDBG and HOME funding
recommendations under the City's FY 2013 -14 Annual Action Plan.
B. Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey
The California Vehicle Code requires that the City conduct an Engineering and Traffic Survey
of local streets every seven (7) years. This requirement helps to ensure the proper posting
of speed limits and also enables the Sheriff's Department to utilize radar or other electronic
speed measuring devices for speed enforcement efforts. To meet this requirement, staff
coordinated an analysis to evaluate the existing speed zones within the City of Rosemead.
The Traffic Commission reviewed the findings at two (2) public meetings and after taking
public input, concurred with the recommendations identified in the survey.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Review and approve the Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey establishing speed
limit zones; and
2. Introduce for First Reading, by title only, Ordinance No. 929, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, SETTING SPEED LIMITS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE
