Beautification Commission

The Beautification Commission was established by Ordinance No. 981, approved at the August 28, 2018 City Council meeting. The Beautification
Commission is comprised of five members and the City Clerk’s Office in an advisory capacity. The Beautification Commission was created to facilitate a citizen-based, community “grassroots” effort to organize, promote and participate in service projects and programs designed to beautify Rosemead. Commissioners are appointed by the City Council to serve staggered two year terms.

Beautification Commission meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month, at 7:00 p.m., in the Rosemead Council Chamber, CLICK HERE to view Agendas.

8th Annual Holiday Decoration Awards 

Who is ready to bring out and unpack those festive and creative decorations to begin spreading that holiday cheer? The City of Rosemead is about to get a little merrier and brighter! Get into the holiday spirit by nominating your own, a neighbor’s, or business’ property for the 8th Annual Holiday Decoration Awards. To continue to follow the County’s COVID-19 mandates, safe practices, and social distancing, we will conduct a Virtual Holiday Decoration Awards.

Holiday Decoration Awards 2020

Please note the following important information:

  • HOW TO SUBMIT:  Nominations can be submitted by directly sending an email to BeautifyingRosemead@cityofrosemead.org, with a name, address, phone number, and a minimum of three (3) but no more than five (5) photos of the property (clear images and good angles are important). We also encourage applicants to submit photos of the property in the daytime and nighttime so that decorations can be seen in different lighting. All submittals must be emailed. Submittals will NOT be accepted via the City’s social media outlets (e.g., Facebook, Instagram). The deadline to apply is Sunday, December 13th.
