creation, promotion and sustainability of the arts in Richfield. This shall include, but not
be limited to, theatre, creative arts and design, and community beautification.
3. In addition to the designated number of members to serve on the Commission, each
January, the City Council shall designate a Council Member as liaison and a second
Council Member as alternative liaison to this Commission.
