raised during the process, to facilitate public participation, and to make a

E. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 14-4982, APPOINTING CATHERINE
BURROUGHS TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE FORMER TEMPLE
CITY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AB x1 26, the redevelopment dissolution bill, required each successor agency
to have an oversight board comprised of seven members seated prior to May

the seven oversight board members (i.e., one member representing the City
who formed the Redevelopment Agency-City Manager and one member
representing the employees of the Agency-Assistant to the City Manager I
Economic Development Manager).
With the termination of the City Manager's contract, staff recommended
appointing Parks and Recreation Director, Catherine Burroughs to fill the

of Temple City and the time he will serve as Interim City Manager.

G. RENEWAL OF THE MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
As a contract city, Temple City has traditionally entered into a Municipal Law
Enforcement Services Agreement with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department. The California Contract Cities Association and representatives of
various contract cities have been working on the preparation of the new
Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement, which would provide for a
five-year renewal through June 30, 2019. A uniform agreement is used by the
County and all of the contracting cities for these services.
Renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement will ensue
that the services provided by the Sheriff's Department will continue
uninterrupted.
Action: Approved the renewal of the Municipal Law
Enforcement Services Agreement with the
County of Los Angeles; and authorized the
Mayor to execute the agreement.
H. APPROVAL OF CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(ECMS), ECMS ANNUAL SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND DOCUMENT
SCANNING SERVICES; AND APPROVE PURCHASE OF A DESKTOP
SCANNER AND ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
City Council's approval of the Consultant Services Agreement for an ECMS
will further the City Council's goal of government transparency. Other benefits
of implementing an ECMS are: prevention of lost records, ability to manage
and locate documents quickly, make images centrally available, and safe
keeping of records in case of a disaster. Document imaging will be
implemented in phases beginning with the City Clerk's Office (i.e., City Council
and City Commission meeting minutes, resolutions and ordinances). Once
these public documents have been scanned and labeled, they will be made
available to the public on the City's website. Scanning of other department
documents will commence as resources are available.
Action:
1) Awarded Consultant Services Agreements to ECS Imaging, Inc. (ECS), to
install a Laserfiche electronic content management system (ECMS),
provide training, and provide annual service maintenance and support
services for ECMS;

A. APPROVAL OF WATERCOLOR DESIGNS FOR ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD

immigrant residents.

B. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 14-992
AMENDING THE TEMPLE CITY ZONING CODE AND DOWNTOWN
SPECIFIC PLAN TO REQUIRE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
MEDICAL OFFICES AND SIMILAR USES
This code amendment is intended to be an interim option that will regulate
massage businesses in accordance with SB 731 until a comprehensive
massage and "Day Spa" ordinance is adopted. The proposed ordinance
should also have little impact to the medical community. Since the beginning
of the year we have had only one business license application for a medical
office.
Planning Manager Starns gave a brief summary of the staff report.

Mayor Blum opened public hearing.
Mayor Blum closed public hearing.
City Attorney Vail commented that a moratorium would be not useful since it is
unclear if the City would be able to enforce it due to the state law (i.e., Senate
731) that was passed. Requirement of a conditional use permit (CUP) would
allow the City the ability to impose an interim operational type of regulations
and monitor these types of businesses.
Councilmember Sternquist made a motion to introduce Ordinance No. 14-992
for first reading by title only amending the Temple City Zoning Code and the
Downtown Specific Plan to require a Conditional Use Permit for Medical
Offices and similar uses; waive further reading of Ordinance No. 14-992; and

Council member Yu and unanimously carried.

Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Asbestos Testing and Abatement Programs
for FY 2013-14. Any CDBG funds not used during FY 2013-14 will go back into
the City's unallocated CDBG fund balance and would be eligible for
reallocation back into the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Asbestos Testing
and Abatement Programs for FY 2014-15.
Associate Planner Gulick gave a brief summary of the staff report.
Mayor Blum opened public hearing.
Mayor Blum closed public hearing.
Councilmember Yu made a motion to appropriate CDBG funds programmed
for next fiscal year (FY 2014-15) to the current fiscal year (FY 2013-14)
programs: increasing the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program by $150,000
and increasing the Asbestos Testing and Abatement Program by $50,000.

E. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 14-991 AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY ADOPTING THE
REORGANIZED CITY OF TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE AND ENACTING
A NEW CODE NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CITY
OF TEMPLE CITY
With the recent increase of ordinance adoptions, it has become evident that
the current method of organizing the Municipal Code is antiquated, difficult and
cumbersome for staff to add new sections to related subjects within a
Chapter's Article(s). Staff has already had to present ordinances to City
Council this past year to amend duplicate Section numbering.
The new proposal would allow for an expandable numbering system (e.g.,
Sterling's standard x-y-z numbering system) which better accommodates
future expansion of the Municipal Code.
City Clerk Kuo gave a brief summary of the staff report.
Mayor Blum opened public comment.
Mayor Blum closed public comment.
Mayor Pro Tern Chavez made a motion to introduce Ordinance No. 14-991,
adopting the reorganized City of Temple City Municipal Code (Municipal Code)
and enacting a new numbering system for the Municipal Code; waive further
