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.

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

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.
