Body
BACKGROUND:
February 12, 2018, the Public Arts Commission approved a recommendation to City Council requesting an increase to the allocation for art education programs to 30% from the Art in Public Places fund. Below are the sections from the Municipal Code that apply to this request:
11.45.020 Definitions - Art Education
"Art Education" means any publically-available class, lecture, program or similar event related in some manner to the arts including, but not limited to, lectures, classes, concerts, forums, teaching presentations or speaking engagements pertaining to the visual, auditory and/or cultural arts.
11.45.130 Art in public places fund
E. On an annual basis, up to ten percent of the art in public places fund may be used for art education, including any and all ancillary costs associated with funding such art education (the "arts education allocation"). The ten percent arts education allocation shall be calculated annually based on the total balance in the art in public placed fund as of July 1 of each fiscal year. Any unused portion of the ten percent arts education allocation shall remain in the art in public places fund. The ten percent arts education allocation shall not be cumulative and shall be re-calculated every fiscal year.
If the increase from 10% to 30% is approved, the Municipal Code for this section would need to be amended.
