E. RELEASE OF SECURITY FOR TRACT NO. 54302 FOR SANITARY SEWER
IMPROVEMENTS AT 5132 A-E SERENO DRIVE
When a developer is proposing a sub-division in the City, a security deposit
must be submitted to ensure that required improvements (e.g., sanitary sewer,
water system, street tree, and/or road improvements) are completed in
accordance with approved plans. After the improvements are completed by
the developer, the City is notified by Los Angeles County Department of
Public Works that the improvements have been completed, inspected, and
found to be in compliance with the approved plans. Once notified by Public
Works, the City Council must approve the work that has been completed,
accept the improvements for public use and maintenance, and approve the
release of the deposited securities.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works notified the City that the
sewer improvements were completed, inspected and found to be in
compliance with the approved plans.
Recommendation: Approve the work that has been completed and
accept the sewer improvements for public use;
and authorize the release of the security in the
amount of $33,000 for Tract No. 54302

The City’s selection committee (i.e., Administrative Services Director Hause,
Community Development Director Persico, Assistant to the City Manager /
Economic Development Manager Haworth, City’s contracted IT staff MacCuil,
Deputy City Clerk Bonus, and City Clerk Kuo) reviewed the proposals, met to
receive demonstrations / presentation and contacted the technical support line
to test responsiveness and ease of access for all companies who submitted an
RFP (API, AMI, CPS, ECS, and LSSP).
After the evaluation and demonstrations of the ECMS, staff realized that there
is no requirement in the RFP, giving the City the flexibility to customize the

look of the ECMS in order to match the feel and functionality of the City’s

G. REQUEST FROM THE TEMPLE CITY CAMELLIA FESTIVAL FOR
SUPPORT AND AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF STREET AND FACILITIES
FOR THE 2014 CAMELLIA FESTIVAL
The Festival will be celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2014. For many years,
Festival volunteers and City staff have heard requests from residents to
incorporate changes to this community event. The requests received most
often were: 1) to change, or add, carnival rides; and 2) to serve beer and wine
at the Festival as is customary at most church fiestas and other nonprofit
events. With the upcoming 70th anniversary in 2014, the Festival’s Board
agreed this was an opportune time to implement some of the changes that had
been requested over the past several years.
Changes approved by the Board include: 1) closure of Las Tunas Drive,
between Kauffman Avenue and Golden West Avenue for additional carnival
rides and attractions; 2) a beer/wine garden; 3) extension of Festival hours
until 11:00 p.m. on Friday, February 21, 2014 and Saturday, February 22,
2014; 4) food trucks on Friday, February 21, 2014; and 5) concerts, featuring
bands from the City’s summer concert series, on Saturday evening, February
22, 2014 and Sunday afternoon, February 23, 2014.
The City Council is requested to review and approve requests from the
Festival as identified in the Camellia Festival’s Request letter for City Support.
Recommendation:
1. Use of Temple City Park, the parking lots adjacent to City Hall and the Civic
Center, and Las Tunas Drive between Kauffman Avenue and Golden West
Avenue for carnival rides and attractions from 12 noon on Wednesday,
2/19/14February 19, 2014 until 6:00 a.m. on Monday, 2/24/14February 24,
2014. This change will allow additional or new rides for the carnival;

H. APPROVAL OF ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD FINAL ART DESIGN CONCEPTS
Public artwork planned for the $20.7 million Rosemead Boulevard Safety
Enhancement and Beautification Project (Rosemead Project) will establish the
City’s first public art collection comprised of art pavers, text art features,
sculptures and tile mosaic murals. Through these public art installments, the
Rosemead Boulevard art walk will exhibit Temple City’s untold story, inviting
pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to experience the community’s origins and
shared values through imagery and interactive artwork.
The Public Arts Commission (Commission) recommended for City Council
approval the final design concepts for artist Stern’s two sculptures and
Brailsford’s 24 art pavers with text features. Furthermore, the Commission
concurred with staff’s recommendation to temporarily cease the final design
conceptualization of artist Queijan’s four tile mosaic murals, as only nine
inches of the murals would be visible from underneath their currently proposed
seating bench locations.
Recommendation:
1) Approve artist Daniel Stern’s final design concept for two sculptures
thereby initiating the fabrication process;
2) Approve artist Robin Brailsford’s final design concept for 24 art pavers

with text features thereby initiating the fabrication process; and
3) Direct staff to pursue alternate placement options for the installation of
artist Carole Queijan’s four tile mosaic murals, and present
recommendations for the Council’s consideration at its meeting of
November 5, 2013.
I. UPDATE ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN TEMPLE CITY
Over the last three years, the City has been working on establishing a historic
preservation program. In order to create an effective historic preservation
program there are four elements that need to be established: 1) The City’s
General Plan should have goals and policies related to historic preservation;
2) Create a historic preservation ordinance to provide the framework for
evaluating and designating properties, and providing a process for potential
alterations to those properties; 3) Create a historic context statement which
provides the history of development in the City and identifies property types,
property characteristics (character-defining features) of the various property
types, and eligibility and integrity thresholds; 4) Perform a historic resources
survey that identifies and evaluates properties based on the historic context
and designation criteria in the historic preservation ordinance (as well as State
and National Register criteria).
Thus far, the City has completed two of the four elements necessary to
establish an effective historic preservation program in the City (i.e., the historic
context statement and the survey were completed as one document).
The City has hired GPA Consulting, Inc. to engage the community in a
discussion regarding historic preservation and is seeking the community’s
input to determine “what is historic and what should be preserved?” This input
is crucial in determining if a Historic Preservation Ordinance should be
created and, if so, ensuring any Historic Preservation Ordinance is tailored to
the needs of Temple City.
Recommendation: Receive and file.
J. PETTY CASH REPORT
The City Council is requested to review, receive and file the Petty Cash
Report.
Recommendation: Receive and file.

CERTIFYING CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM FOR JUNE 1, 2012 TO MAY 31, 2013.
In 1992, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)
implemented the Congestion Management Program (CMP). In accordance
with this program, every city must make an annual determination of
conformance.
The City Council is requested to conduct a public hearing and adopt
Resolution No. 13-4948 certifying conformance with the Los Angeles County
Congestion Manager Program.
Presentation: Community Development Director
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution certifying the City is in
compliance with the Los Angeles County
Congestion Management Program.
B. APPROVAL OF CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE
PLANNING CENTER | DC&E TO PREPARE AN UPDATE TO THE CITY’S
GENERAL PLAN, ZONING CODE, AND THE ROUTE 19 VILLAGE SPECIFIC
PLAN
The General Plan is the umbrella document that allows cities to plan for future
development. The California State Supreme Court has referred to General
Plans as “the Constitution for future development”. The City’s existing General
Plan is over 25 years old and is severely outdated. This general plan update is
looking to the future of Temple City and will set the direction of the City for the
next generation. Updating the general plan at this time will also allow us to
build upon the work currently being completed as part of City’s Strategic Plan.
Combined with the update to the City’s Zoning Code and the creation of the
Specific Plan, this project provides an incredible opportunity to set the City on a
City Council Agenda

path that will provide an improved quality of life and enhance Temple City’s
reputation as a great place to live and work.
Presentation: Community Development Director
Recommendation:
1) Approve a Consultant Services Agreement with The Planning Center |
DC&E to prepare an update to the City’s General Plan, Zoning Code, and
the Route 19 Village Specific Plan; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Consultant Services
Agreement in an amount not to exceed $1,159,049.
