Monrovia City Council on Oct. 7 approved routine business items, confirmed an appointment to the San Gabriel Valley Water Authority and selected an artist for a new Sunishi Park mural.

The council approved consent calendar items 1 through 7 without any items pulled for separate discussion. The meeting record notes a motion was made and approved; no roll-call vote totals are given in the transcript.

The council also voted to appoint Robert Gonzalez, former mayor of Azusa, as the citys representative to the San Gabriel Valley Water Authority. The transcript records the appointment was "voted through"; no vote tally was specified.

On AR-1 the council selected artist Trinity Rivard to create a mural at Sunishi Park, the wall that runs along the park behind the Chick-fil-A. Council members discussed the design and the murals scope (a roughly 102-foot-long, 6-foot-high span commemorating a community figure) and the council approved the artist selection; the transcript reports the vote was "voted through unanimously." The council discussed a November installation window and a planned park opening on Dec. 6.

Why it matters: the consent calendar moves routine city business forward without separate debate; the SGV Water Authority appointment fills Monrovias seat at a regional water body that coordinates policy among San Gabriel Valley cities; and the mural selection advances a public-arts project tied to a park reopening.

What was not in the record: the transcript does not provide formal roll-call tallies for the consent calendar or the Gonzalez appointment; it records only that votes were taken and that the mural vote was unanimous.
