Over the past several years, the City has been working to become more bike-
friendly. The adoption of the Bicycle Master Plan in 2011 established a long
term blueprint for the creation of an integrated system of bike lanes. The
award of the BTA grant by Caltrans in 2012 and the hiring of a design

make progress in fulfilling its vision.
The City Council is requested to accept the PS&E package so that staff can
proceed with advertisement for construction bids.

Improvement Program Project (P13-12) implementation of Bicycle Master
Plan; and

(TCUSD) staff to identify needed pedestrian safety improvements around
school sites within Temple City. Improvements have also been identified in the
City’s Traffic Calming Master Plan. In 2012, the City took an important step
towards implementing these necessary improvements by applying for, and
receiving an award from Caltrans to fund the City’s Safe Routes to School
(SR2S) project.
The City’s design consultant for the project, Elie Farah, Inc., has prepared the
PS&E package for the project. City Council is requested to accept the PS&E

8. PUBLIC HEARING
A. CONSIDERATION TO INCREASE THE ALLOCATION FOR THE
FEDERALLY FUNDED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) PROJECT FOR DOWNTOWN PARKING LOTS AND TEMPLE CITY
BOULEVARD ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS PER THE AMERICAN
WITH DISABILITY ACT (ADA) (PROJECT NO. 601595-13 NO. 601596-13)
The CDBG Program was established with the primary objective of developing
viable communities by creating suitable living environments, maintaining and
creating decent housing, and creating and maintaining job opportunities for
low- and moderate-income persons. In the past, the City has been limited to
its housing rehabilitation loan program and the City’s youth scholarship
program. Due to the City’s need to reduce its CDBG funds balance, two out
of cycle ADA improvement projects (Project) were created.
City issued an RFP for the Project with a bid deadline of March 4, 2014. The
lowest bid received for the Project was from FS Construction. However, the
lowest bid was higher than the engineer’s estimate. The City Council is
requested to increase the allocations for the Project utilizing the City’s
City Council Agenda
May 6, 2014

unallocated CDBG Funds.
Presentation: Planning Manager/Associate Planner
Recommendation:
1) Hold a public hearing to consider proposed amendments to the City’s
CDBG-funded Downtown Parking Lot ADA Improvement Project
(Project No. 601595-13) and Temple City Boulevard ADA Improvement
Project (Project No. 601596-13) per the ADA for FY 2013-14; and

Parking Lot ADA Improvement Project (Project No. 601595-13), bringing
the total of the project to $135,800, and appropriate $19,200 of
unallocated CDBG funds for the Temple City Boulevard Accessibility
ADA Improvement Project (Project No. 601596-13), bringing the total of

9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES WITH SOUTHLAND
TRANSIT, INC. FOR DIAL-A-RIDE (DAR) TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
FOR FISCAL YEARS (FY) 2014-17 REVISED 5-1-2014
The City is in the third year of a three-year agreement with First Transit to
provide DAR transportation services. Although the agreement allows for two
one-year extensions, with the ongoing concerns expressed from DAR
members the past two and a half years and the consultant’s inability to
effectively address dispatch and customer service concerns, staff felt it was in
the best interest of the City to solicit proposals for DAR services this year.
Presentation: Parks and Recreation Director
Recommendation:
1) Award a three-year Agreement for Services to Southland Transit, Inc. for
management and operation of the City’s Dial-A-Ride program; and
2) Authorize the Interim City Manager to finalize and execute the agreement
in an amount not to exceed $1,290,705 over the three-year term.

GPAC BYLAWS; AND APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS TO THE GPAC
The Temple City General Plan Update known as the “Temple City 2050 Mid-
City Council Agenda
May 6, 2014
Page 6 of 10
Century Plan” is an opportunity to plan the future of Temple City and will set
the direction of the City for the next generation.
As part of the update process, staff is proposing to establish a GPAC
consisting of up to 13 residents to advise staff and our consultants on issues
raised during the process, to facilitate public participation, and to make a

General Plan, a Specific Plan for the intersection of Las Tunas Drive and
Rosemead Boulevard, and an updated Zoning Code.
Presentation: Planning Manager
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 14-4983 establishing the
Temple City General Plan Advisory Committee,
adopt by-laws for the GPAC and appoint

10. NEW BUSINESS
A. APPROVAL OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH CLS
LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, INC. FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
SERVICES ON ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD
With completion of the Rosemead Boulevard Project expected this month, the
City will need to take over maintenance of Rosemead Boulevard within the
City limits. Staff requested a quote from CLS to add weekly maintenance of
the medians, planters and parkways along Rosemead Boulevard to the
existing agreement. Weekly maintenance would include weeding, trimming,
mulching, trash pick-up, and irrigation checks. CLS provided a bid with two
options to the City.
The City Council is requested to approve the First Amendment to the
agreement with CLS Landscape Management, Inc. for landscape maintenance
on the medians and planters on Rosemead Boulevard.
Presentation: Parks and Recreation Director

progress at the planning and design stage to transform Las Tunas Drive from
an auto-oriented thoroughfare into a vibrant and attractive community and
regional destination. To this end, the City solicited the services of a design
consultant to prepare schematics and a finalized design plan for the

proposed changes to Las Tunas Drive. This analysis is part of the CEQA
