Top issues during term (20)
Interim City Manager appointment
Cost not stated in the materials; the position is structured as a retired annuitant appointment under state law.
Joint Use Agreements with Garvey School District
Future of the Dinsmore House
Programming would need a budget request and major improvements would go through the capital improvement program, though annual repair funds already exist and grants are possible.
E-bike and scooter safety on sidewalks
Speed hump policy overhaul
Each speed hump costs the city roughly $20,000–$25,000, usually two per street — about $40,000–$50,000 — which is why a two-year removal wait is proposed.
Warner Grove speed limit markings not updated
Confusing Grand Avenue ramp striping
Backpack Giveaway Shows High Community Need
Programs run on grants and donations; the city's role is partnership and promotion rather than direct funding.
Garvey Avenue Bus Lanes
Proposed Rosemead Civic Center Project
Multi-million dollar project — but nothing is spent yet; the city is chasing grant and state/federal funding to pay for planning and construction.

Traffic signal synchronization
Councilmember Clark said sensors are reportedly already on the poles, suggesting modest cost, though exact figures weren't given.
Proposed Garvey Avenue peak-hour bus lane (Jump-Start project)

Earthquake Preparedness
Library Solar Construction Impacts
New Temple Station Sheriff's Captain and Community Policing
State housing laws bypassing local review
