Recommendation: Receive and file. E. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 13-4939 RE-DESIGNATION OF THE DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE FOR THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY CITY SELECTION COMMITTEE Typically members of the Los Angeles County City Selection Committee include the Mayor of each city within Los Angeles County. Each city appoints an elected official as a delegate to the City Selection Committee; it usually is the Mayor. The term of office for each member of the LA County City Selection Committee coincides with City Mayor terms, and the Committee meets three or four times a year, at the call of the Chairman. Their duties are to appoint city representatives to such boards, commissions and agencies as may be required by law (i.e., LAFCO, South Coast Air Quality Management District, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Advisory Committee; and to nominate for appointment Members to the California Coastal Commission). The City Council during their regular City Council meeting on April 2, 2013, appointed Councilmember Yu and Mayor Pro Tem Blum as delegate and alternate respectively to the Committee. However, as the delegate to the Committee is usually the Mayor, so the City Council is being requested to re- designate Mayor Sternquist as delegate and the Mayor Pro Tem as the alternate. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 13-4939 to re-designate the Mayor as the “Delegate” and Mayor Pro Tem as the “Alternate” for the Los Angeles County City Selection Committee. F. STATUS REPORT ON NEW CITY LOGO (Attachment A, B, C, and D) On July 30, 2013 the City Council (Council) was presented with 20 preliminary logo concepts, design based on the direction from the Rosemead Boulevard Standing Committee. Council selected a design (i.e., 4a) for further refinement and was directed to finalize the design by August 15, 2013 to ensure timely completion of projects that were pending incorporation of the new City logo. FUEL Creative Group is now assembling an associated color palette for the City’s new identity which is to be incorporated into the City’s new website beta- launching in November 2013. Recommendation: Receive and file. City Council Agenda September 3, 2013 Page 4 of 8 G. FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES WITH TRANSTECH ENGINEERS, INC. FOR BUILDING CODE ADMINISTRATION AND PUBLIC WORKS / ENGINEERING SERVICES (Attachment A and B) Over the past year and a half, Transtech has developed an understanding of the City’s organizational culture and an understanding of our processes and procedures. Staff believes that this continuity has been an asset to the residents, construction community and City staff. Additionally, using an outside consultant allows the City the flexibility to call on additional resources as the need arises. The City Council is requested to approve a three year contract extension with Transtech Engineers, Inc. through June 30, 2016. Recommendation: Review and approve a three year contract extension with Transtech Engineers, Inc. to provide consultant building code administration and public works / engineering services. H. AW ARD OF CONTRACT FOR ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD PUBLIC ART ARTISTS (Attachment A, B, C and D) Public artwork planned for the $20.7 million Rosemead Project will establish the City’s first public art collection, with four tile mural seating walls, two sculptures and 24 art pavers seamlessly integrating into an “art walk” and place-making mechanism. The Commission’s recent selection of artists: Carole Choucair Oueijan; Robin Brailsford; and Daniel Stern through a preliminary design concept process was based on industry best practice to ensure the procurement of high-caliber installations. Should the Council accept the Commission’s artists recommendations, the City Manager will execute formal artist agreements (Attachment “D”) that require artists to further refine their design concepts to incorporate the Commission’s recent recommendations. The agreement also includes a key milestone that requires each artist to present their final design concept for the Commission’s initial approval at their meeting of October 2, 2013. Final designs will be presented to the Council for their ultimate approval at their meeting of October 15, 2013, after which the fabrication process immediately commences to ensure that delivery and installation of artwork is completed by April 2014. Recommendation: Accept the Public Art Commission’s (Commission) artist recommendations for upcoming Rosemead Boulevard public art installations; authorize the City Manager to execute artist agreements that initiate the final City Council Agenda September 3, 2013 Page 5 of 8 conceptualization and fabrication of Rosemead Boulevard public art design concepts that incorporate the Commission’s recommendations; direct the Commission to review and approve the final Rosemead Boulevard design concepts at their regular meeting of October 2, 2013; and direct staff to present final design concepts for Council approval at their October 15, 2013 meeting. I. PETTY CASH REPORT (Attachment A and B) The City Council is requested to review, receive and file the Petty Cash Report. Recommendation: Receive and file. J.

Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 13-4941. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. PUBLIC HEARING: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-972, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPLEMENT THE HOUSING PROGRAMS OUTLINED IN THE 2008-2014 HOUSING ELEMENT (Attachment A, B and C) Adoption of Ordinance No. 13-972 will help ensure HCD certification of the 2013-2021 Housing Element, qualify the City for an 8-year Housing Element update instead of 4-year, and have the City eligible for various state and transportation grants. Furthermore, these amendments maintain Zoning Code consistency with the General Plan and protect the City from lawsuits. Adoption of Ordinance No. 13-972 is also necessary to meet California state legislation Senate Bill (SB) 2 and SB 1818, which require localities to establish density bonuses and concessions to provide incentives for development of affordable, senior, and child care facilities; and to establish emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing as permitted use. The amendments proposed by Ordinance No. 13-972 must be effective by October 2013 prior to HCD review of the 2013-2021 Housing Element Update. City Council Agenda September 3, 2013 Page 6 of 8 Presentation: Community Development Director Recommendation: 1) Waive further reading of Ordinance No. 13-972; and 2) Adopt Ordinance No. 13-972 by title only, amending the Municipal Code to implement the housing programs outlined in the 2008-2014 Housing Element. 9.
