B. Transmittal of FY 2013 -14 City of Rosemead and Rosemead Housing Development
Corporation Annual Financial Reports
This is to transmit the FY 2013 -14 annual financial reports for the City of Rosemead and the
Rosemead Housing Development Corporation to the City Council. The reports provide a
complete presentation of the finances of each of the above mentioned organizations. The
2013 -14 Fiscal Year was a year of modest increase for the City's General Fund. Due to both
Sales Tax and Property Tax revenues showing modest increases along with an improved
economic base, the City was able to put money back into reserves at the conclusion of the
fiscal year. As noted on the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), the General
Fund collected $79,626 more than was expended, increasing the fund balance from
$17,617,440 to $17,697,066.
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the City of Rosemead
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and the Rosemead Housing Development
Corporation Annual Financial and Compliance Report for the 2013 -14 Fiscal Year.
C. Housing Element 2014 Annual Progress Report
California Government Code §65400 (b) requires the filing of a Housing Element Annual
Progress Report by April 1st of each year, for the prior calendar year, with the State Office of
Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Community Development
( "HCD "). State law also requires that the annual report be presented at a public meeting
before the City Council where members of the public are given an opportunity to comment on
the City's progress. This agenda meets these statutory requirements.
This report summarizes the low to moderate - income residential building activity, Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) progress, and progress of housing program
implementation for the 2014 calendar year. The annual report was prepared on forms
provided by HCD, using definitions adopted by HCD.
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the City's 2014 Housing Element

D. Annual Residential Resurfacing Program — Award of Contract
As a part of the City's Fiscal Year 2014 -15 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council
approved the "Annual Residential Resurfacing Program" which involves pavement
rehabilitation activities on roadways that are in need of repair. The project consists of
asphalt concrete overlay and reconstruction of road pavement, repairs to damaged sidewalk,
curbs and the planting of trees along the parkways. The streets identified for resurfacing in
the 2014 -15 Fiscal Year Capital Improvement Program are Hellman Avenue, from Jackson
Avenue to the westerly City Limit, and Steele Street from Ellis Lane to Rio Hondo Avenue.
Additionally, staff recently added improvements at Rio Hondo Avenue and Rose Street to
this project as recent rain events have resulted in flooding and the street is in need of repair
and drainage improvements.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Annual Residential Resurfacing Program,
Hellman Avenue from Jackson Avenue to the westerly City Limit and the Rose Street Rio
Hondo Avenue Intersection Improvements Project;
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with E.C. Construction in the amount
of $218,760.12 for the Annual Residential Resurfacing Project, Hellman Avenue from
Jackson Avenue to the westerly City Limit. In addition, authorize an amount of $21,876
(10 %) as a contingency to cover the cost of unforeseen construction expenses.
3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with CEM Construction Corp in the
amount of $83,935 for Rose Street/Rio Hondo Avenue Intersection Improvements
project. In addition, authorize an amount of $8,393 (10 %) as contingency to cover the
cost of unforeseen construction expenses.
E. Resolution Clarifying the Purchase Price for Property Acquisition of 27142718 River
Avenue in Rosemead
Proposed Resolution No. 2015 -08 clarifies the purchase price of the property at 2714 -2718
River Avenue approved by the City Council on January 13, 2015. The original approving
Resolution No. 2015 -04, adopted at the last Council meeting, stated that the purchase price
was $1.83 million. Subsequently the escrow company has requested a clarification that the
actual contract purchase price is $1.85 million with a $20,000 credit in escrow from the
Seller, which equals a total cost to the City of $1.83 million. The proposed Resolution No.
2015 -08 makes the technical correction requested by the escrow company and does not
alter the costs to the City for acquisition of the property.
