Date: March 6, 2012
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Donald Penman, City Manager
Prepared by: Lisa Mussenden, Chief Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 2295 AMENDING SECTION 2290.1 OF ARTICLE II,
CHAPTER 2, PART 9 DIVISION 1 OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE MEMERSHIP OF THE ARCADIA HISTORICAL
MUSEUM COMMISSION
Recommended Action: Introduce
SUMMARY
At its July 19, 2011 meeting, the City Council unanimously directed staff to prepare an
ordinance reducing the membership of the Arcadia Historical Museum Commission
("Commission") from seven (7) to five (5) effective June 30, 2012. The attached
ordinance prepared for City Council consideration will amend the Arcadia Municipal
Code to reduce the Arcadia Historical Museum Commission membership to five (5) with
all appointments made by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
On November 6, 2001, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2151 establishing the
Arcadia Historical Museum Commission which consisted of seven (7) members. The
purpose of the Commission was to advise the City Council on matters relating to the
Ruth and Charles Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum. Due to the changes last year in the
direction of the Arcadia Historical Society to broaden their mission and not focus the
same level of attention to the Museum, the City Council voted to reduce the
membership of the Commission from seven (7) to five (5) effective June 30, 2012 with
all appointments made by the City Council. The Commission will continue to have one
(1) ex-officio non-voting member who shall be a member of the City staff appointed by
the City Manager or designee.
