RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council provide second reading and adopt an ordinance increasing the permitted allocation for art education from the Art in Public Places Fund to 30% annually.
Body
BACKGROUND:
On 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.
On March 28, 2018, City Council discussed the Public Arts Commission’s recommendation and directed staff to prepare an ordinance increasing the allocation for art education from 10% to 30% from the Art in Public Places fund.
The ordinance passed its first reading at the April 11, 2018 City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The increase to 30% would be based on the 2018-2019 fiscal year fund balance. The thirty percent arts education allocation shall be calculated annually based on the total balance in the art in public places fund as of July 1 of each fiscal year. Any unused portion of the thirty percent arts education allocation shall remain in the art in public places fund. The thirty percent arts education allocation shall not be cumulative and shall be re-calculated every fiscal year.
Per Council's direction, staff will work with the Public Arts Commission on the development of a policy that includes program goals and guidelines and bring back to City Council for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The increase to 30% would apply to the Art in Public Places Fund for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018 and annually thereafter. There will be no effect on the total amount of fees collected by the fund.
