to go back to 1990.

for the Artists Village project. Juarez requested a list of the artists whose business licenses had
been subsidized by the City.

look into allegations that neighborhood residents were barred from attending
Environmental and Transportation Advisory Sub-Committee meetings;
draft a resolution or ordinance that would create a citizens' panel to review art
