TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: TROY L. BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER
FROM: DANIEL BOBADILLA, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVE EXTERIOR ART DESIGN ENHANCEMENTS AND BUDGET FOR THE
AZUSA INTERMODAL TRANSIT CENTER
SUMMARY:
The Azusa Intermodal Transit Center is currently under construction and scheduled to be completed
December 2015. In an effort to aesthetically enhance the exterior of the parking structure, staff has been
working with the Gold Line Station artist Jose Antonio Aguirre to develop art design alternatives. This
action approves the art design concept for the exterior enhancements to the Azusa Intermodal Transit
and authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract with Artist Jose Antonio Aguirre to fabricate an
iconic Azusa monument structure.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1) Consider exterior art design enhancements to the Azusa Intermodal Transit Center and direct
staff accordingly; and
2) Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Artist Jose Antonio Aguirre
for an estimated contract amount of$50,000 to fabricate an iconic Azusa monument structure.
DISCUSSION:
On July 27, 2015 and October 12, 2015 the City Council received presentations from the Azusa Gold
Line Station artist, Jose Antonio Aguirre, on art design alternatives for the exterior enhancements to the
Azusa Intermodal Transit Center. The proposed art enhancements include a mosaic mural on the south
wall of the parking structure, sidewalk pavers from the parking structure to the Gold Line Station
designed as a meandering river, and an iconic Azusa monument sign (see attachment). Jose Antonio
Aguirre incorporated the City Council's comments received at the previous meetings and revised the art

design alternatives accordingly. Staff is requesting direction and approval of the exterior art design
enhancements. If approved, staff will work with Foothill Transit and the parking structure contractor to
incorporate the mosaic mural and sidewalk pavers into the current contract for the parking structure. The
estimated cost for the mosaic mural and sidewalk pavers is $170,000. The iconic Azusa monument sign,
estimated at $50,000, would be funded solely by the City of Azusa and a separate contract would be
executed between the City of Azusa and Jose Antonio Aguirre.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed recommendations will authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Jose Antonio
Aguirre for an estimated amount of$50,000, funded by the Arts in Public Places Fund. Funds for the
mosaic mural and sidewalk pavers are available in the current parking structure budget.
