C. Name Steven Brisco as Chief Financial Officer and Finance Director and Give him
Authority to Give Banking Directions to Bank of the West
On November 5, 2007 Steven Brisco was appointed as the Rosemead Community
Development Commission (RCDC) Chief Financial Officer and Finance Director. However,
for internal control purposes, he is not a signer on any of the RCDC Bank of the West bank
accounts. From time to time, it is necessary to perform routine RCDC banking actions
such as opening or closing accounts, adding or deleting signers on the accounts or

transferring money from one account to another account as well as transferring money to
and from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). Accordingly, Bank of the West
requires a resolution naming Steven Brisco as the RCDC Chief Financial Officer and
Finance Director and authorizing him to perform banking transactions for all RCDC bank
accounts held at Bank of the West.
Recommendation: That the Rosemead Community Development Commission name
Steven Brisco as Chief Financial Officer and Finance Director and authorize him to
perform any transactions, except signing checks, on any RCDC accounts held at Bank of
the West.
D. Amendment to the Glendon Way Project Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA)
As part of the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement process, Jacobsen and staff identified
several major big box retailers that would be suitable for the Glendon Way site, many of
which would require the assemblage of the entire 8.5 acres in order to construct a suitable
building for such a project. However, there were also a few retailers that would be able to
utilize the existing Levitz building with only minor tenant improvements. In fact, one major
nationally recognized retailer has determined that they can use the existing Levitz building.
Staff scheduled a meeting with Jacobsen and Primestor Development (owner of the Levitz
site), Cooperatively, we discussed the potential of removing the Primestor properly from
the existing ENA, which would then allow Primestor and the City to engage in discussions
with the retailer to consider coming to Rosemead. Jacobsen has agreed to such an
amendment.
If the Commission elects to amend the ENA, staff would also request that a new 90 day
period be given to Jacobsen as the scope of the proposed project has significantly
changed.
Recommendation: That the Rosemead Community Development Commission amend
the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement between the Rosemead Community Development
Commission and Jacobsen Family Holdings to remove the Primestor property located at
8920 Glendon Way and extend the ENA for an additional 90 day period effective May 14,
2008.
