Independent Cities Association Membership
Summary
The council voted to spend $2,539.25 to join ICA, an association of cities that largely run their own services — a deliberate oddity for a contract city. Ly argued it builds regional voice and lets Rosemead learn from full-service cities on policing and drones; Clark and others questioned the value.
