Committee comprised of five (5) members for the Arcadia Gold Line Multi-Modal Transit
Station, and designate staff and/or community members to serve as the City's
representatives on the committee.

recommends that the City become involved early in the artwork process in order to
retain effective participation in the final product.

approval on the Council's next meeting agenda.
