DATE: July 2, 2013
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mary Beth Hayes, Director of Library and Museum Services
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 2310 AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF ARTICLE
II, CHAPTER 2, PART 9 OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE TO
REFLECT THE NAME CHANGE OF THE CITY'S MUSEUM TO THE
GILB MUSEUM OF ARCADIA HERITAGE
Recommendation: Introduce
SUMMARY
This is a minor, technical clean up item of the City Code. On October 2, 2012, the City
Council voted unanimously to change the name of the City's museum to the Gilb
Museum of Arcadia Heritage. The City Code, in various sections, currently refers to the
former name of the Museum. The proposed ordinance would update the Code to
properly reference the current name of the Museum.
DISCUSSION
The Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage (Museum), formerly the Ruth and Charles Gilb
Arcadia Historical Museum, has served as a repository and exhibit space for Arcadia's
history, art and cultural traditions since its opening in 2001. The Museum Commission
began discussing a possible name change in early 2012 when it became apparent that
there was confusion in the community about the Museum and other historical groups in
the City. After much discussion about these concerns, on July 10, 2012, the Museum
Commission voted unanimously to change the name of the Museum to the Gilb
Museum of Arcadia Heritage. On October 2, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 6851 changing the name of the Ruth and Charles Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum
to the Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage.
The action of October 2, 2012, addressed necessary changes to signage, letterhead,
business cards, flyers, and brochures to reflect the new name. It did not address
changes to the Municipal Code that would be necessary. Article II, Chapter 2, Part 9 of
the Arcadia Municipal Code contains multiple references to the former name of the
Name Change of City's Museum

Museum. Ordinance No. 2310 would update the Arcadia Municipal Code to reflect the
adopted name change.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the adoption of Ordinance No. 2310.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council find that this item is exempt under the California
Environmental Quality Act; and introduce Ordinance No. 2310 amending various
sections of Article II, Chapter 2, Part 9 of the Arcadia Municipal Code to reflect the
name change of the City's Museum to the Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage.
