Conroe said the development will include three floor plans: a 1,560-square-foot three-bedroom, 2.5-bath plan; a 1,680-square-foot three-bedroom, 3.5-bath plan; and a 1,700-square-foot four-bedroom, three-bath plan with a first-floor bedroom and bath. The community will include a park, barbecue areas, picnic tables and an on-site dog area. Conroe said the homeowners association fee is about $340 per month and that property tax will be about 1.1 percent; he invited council members and residents to the grand opening from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Conroe left printed packets with pricing and plan information for council staff. His remarks were made during the public comment section; there was no council vote or formal planning action attached to the announcement during the meeting.

The presenter said the project is aimed at correcting two deficiencies: potential foundation seepage and a hydrologic risk from extreme storm events that could overtop the earthen embankment. To address those issues the Corps plans a two-year pre-construction services period followed by about five years of heavy construction under an early-contractor-involvement approach. \"We are at the procurement phase,\" the presenter said, noting that many utilities around the dam require coordination.

The Corps representative said Sports Arena Drive, which crosses the East Embankment, will be removed as part of construction and that the Corps currently does not have authorization to replace the road. The earliest closures that would affect Streamland Park, the golf course and Sports Arena Drive are expected in early 2027, pending conditions on the ground and any license extensions. The Corps said it is working to extend existing licenses for those areas through the end of 2026 to delay closures.

The presenter also said Rosemead Boulevard will be raised in portions associated with the dam work and that traffic pattern changes, brief lane closures and temporary shifts are likely on Rosemead and Lincoln during construction. The Corps said it does not expect long-term lane reductions on Rosemead but that travel patterns will change.

The Corps has contracted HDR to help with public outreach and said it will continue community engagement through events such as farmers markets and bike rides. The presenter noted supply-chain risks and tariff concerns but said the Corps had received appropriations from Congress and did not foresee inability to use already-received funds.

Council members asked about resource impacts from recent fires, lease-back options for areas returned to local control and the geographic extent of Rosemead work; the Corps representative said the dam safety team remains largely intact despite fire-response work elsewhere, lease-backs would require a standard Section 408 process and that the Rosemead work stretches roughly from north of Gallatin to the bridge near Durfee.

The update was informational; no council vote or action was taken during the briefing.

","The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers updated the Pico Rivera City Council on the Whittier Narrows Dam Safety Modification Project, saying procurement is underway, pre-construction work will last about two years and heavy construction could begin in early 2027, with staging affecting Streamland Park, the municipal golf course and Sports Arena Drive.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639963,"Los Angeles County assessor briefs Pico Rivera on property values, disaster relief and tax programs",880,1185000,2065000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2556500-4cee71ae518aa7b544c9957a13e16dd6&start=1185&end=2065","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2556500-4cee71ae518aa7b544c9957a13e16dd6/thumbnail_1185000.jpg","/articles/6639963/Pico-Rivera/Los-Angeles-County/California/Los-Angeles-County-assessor-briefs-Pico-Rivera-on-property-values-disaster-relief-and-tax-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639963-f358783104ea3ed49c56f772dbd2bdbf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168275&Signature=agMAvvhX9qWAdyjf2XVnymbS3~RXkBnDPVONZ16LAeYZ6FiOR07j6VdZUpcynYo2na4Ys5fMWXa94hpZtBdeabtHBPnE8Jb~Au23sx1Tlv4zJpKlPSXA75T5xnD7PFKcgqPzXkaR2w41-8u43x1GrrRNiStiefXqCeFhHtyQFp0zqcKVv4COtFszrCdIanRkNVFr1i~1qmWR8gtsu8lv4eSO9UyKfiE4ik3i~a0QbZks1i5OefZZ6CV6VCjHT-K3WFMlKwG-FdkHLzWHSuij3SPM6K2WxnCZMsmNFOc08rL7aIuFV8atKvSHkvMuR2RLhbYmtjAsqPRTty-XCQ7Lgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jeffrey Prang, Los Angeles County Assessor, told the Pico Rivera City Council on March 11 that the countywide assessed value of taxable property exceeded $2 trillion in 2024 and reviewed programs that can reduce bills for homeowners, including disaster relief for properties damaged by recent fires.

Prang said the county's total assessed value grew about 4.85 percent in 2024 and that transfers and the 2 percent annual increase permitted under Proposition 13 were the two largest drivers of that growth. \"I do not collect property taxes,\" Prang said. \"We are essentially real estate appraisers; we determine the value of your property.\" He said the assessor's office values roughly 2.5 million parcels and business assessments and that the office has about 1,400 employees and a budget exceeding $200 million.

The assessor summarized two programs meant to help homeowners after disasters. The \"misfortune and calamity\" provision allows a reassessment downward for damaged or destroyed structures: if a property is destroyed the assessed value of improvements can be reduced to zero; partial damage can be reduced proportionally. Prang said damage must exceed $10,000 and applications are required within 12 months. He also described \"decline in value\" adjustments for homes that were not destroyed but lost marketability because of factors such as post-fire contamination.

Prang urged broader uptake of the homeowners exemption, saying as many as 40 percent of eligible Pico Rivera homeowners may not have applied. He said the exemption can reduce assessed value by about $7,000, saving roughly $70 a year in property tax in the example he gave. He also described other county programs for veterans, seniors, the disabled and nonprofits.

On fraud prevention, Prang described a free homeowner alert service that sends an email within 48 hours when a document is recorded against a property and an online assessor's e-service account to update mailing addresses and apply for exemptions.

Council members thanked Prang, and Mayor Pro Tem Gustavo Camacho asked about the fiscal impact of recent fires; Prang estimated a loss in roll value from those fires between $20 billion and $30 billion and said that could equal roughly $200 million in lost property tax revenue spread over several years. Council members asked how to access the homeowners exemption; Prang pointed to assessor.lacounty.gov and a QR code on his handout.

The presentation was delivered as a special presentation early in the March 11 meeting and drew brief council discussion but no formal council action.

Prang closed by offering to answer questions and encouraging city staff to help promote the homeowners exemption to residents.
