Memorandum
AGENDA
ITEM NO. 11
DATE February 1, 2011
SUBJECT: REQUEST FROM MAYOR STEVE HERFERT REQUESTING THE CITY
COUNCIL'S CONSENSUS TO INSTRUCT CITY STAFF TO PREPARE A
REPORT ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE CITY'S INITIALS ON A WEST
COVINA HILLSIDE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council direct staff accordingly.
DISCUSSION:
Per the City Council Standing Rules, Mayor Steve Herfert is seeking the City Council's consensus
to instruct City staff to prepare a report on the formation of a volunteer committee to locate and
construct a symbolic WC hillside logo. The committee would not use city funds, but construct and
maintain the site by soliciting donations from the community. This is proposed in conjunction with
the City's 881h birthday celbration.
In communities throughout Southern California, cities have placed their city's initials on hillsides or
mountain ranges visible for miles around the community. Some of the cities locally include Azusa,
Duarte, Monrovia, and Cal Poly Pomona.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To be determined.
