Monrovia Gold Line Station Dedication
At the Monrovia Gold Line Station dedication today, Mayor Tom Adams said one of the items on his bucket list is to get on the train in Monrovia, switch to a big train at Union Station, then hop on the Grand Canyon Railway in Williams, Arizona, and visit the south rim of the canyon, all without sitting in an automobile. Adams spoke, then also speeches from various other officials.
The station is not open for use, by the way. I believe that'll be early next year.

Monrovia Council to Consider Major History Project
At the next Monrovia City Council meeting (agenda: http://goo.gl/6H0emr ), the council will consider a $150,000 contribution to the Monrovia Historical Society to complete the Monrovia Legacy Project ( http://goo.gl/hZO7E8 ). The project is estimated to cost $410,000 over three years. The balance of the project cost will come from private donations.
The society will:
1. Document and preserve City Historian Steve Baker’s knowledge base and collections, and generate end products to share them.
2. Compile other Monrovians’ historical memories and records – people of all backgrounds – and create a collection that can be built upon.
3. Create places and methods for storing and sharing this history at the Monrovia Public Library.
The project would be completed in three phases:
1. Preservation: Scan, digitize, inventory, and catalog the photos and papers, transfer to archival storage materials, create searchable lists, and create a comprehensive online repository.
2. Share: Create physical products – photo and / narrative books, video series / documentary, teaching curriculum, written histories, and oral histories.
3. Educate: Create website for distributing products and plan for engaging the public.
Also at the council meeting, the council will consider ...
- Approving a memo of understanding between the City of Monrovia and the Monrovia Unified School District to establish a School Resources Officer Program. Details: http://goo.gl/6H7vci
- Approving a $21,000 agreement with Dekra-Lite to purchase, install, remove and store Old Town holiday decorations. http://goo.gl/h3Lq97
