Historic Santa Monica City Hall (A guide to), Santa Monica and the Gettty Trust, 2004
"A renovation of the Council Chamber in 1999-2000 added technical upgrades and design changes to enhance meeting participation, but did not disturb the existing, historic finishes of the chamber. Of particular design interest is the crenulated wood detail added to the front of the Council dais which mimics a similar detail found at the exterior roofline of City Hall."
