Summary
The council got its first look at a bold plan to combine City Hall, the community center, and the county library into one multi-story building with underground parking — opening up a large public park in the heart of Rosemead. The immediate ask is a planning grant from the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, not construction money, and Mayor Pro Tem Low made clear she'll only support grant-funded work.

Impact analysis
No city general fund money committed yet — the proposed planning grant is $500,000 to $2 million, with construction costs unknown and years away.
Residents would gain a modern civic hub and significantly more open park space in the center of town.
None identified yet; neighbors voiced no objections at this conceptual stage.
