RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Cultural Affairs Commission (CAC) (1) review and discuss a draft written report to the City Council, including activities from January 2025 through June 2025, and proposed activity and upcoming agenda items for July 2025 through December 2025; and (2) authorize transmittal of the report to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
City Council Policy 3002, City Commissions, Boards and Committees; Appointed Representatives to Outside Agencies and Boards (CBC Policy), Section VI (page 7), states (in part): “Periodically, but no less than biannually, each CBC shall submit to the City Council a written report on their respective activities.” To prepare for this requirement, the City Clerk’s Office has directed staff to place this item on the agendas of all CBCs in June or July 2025. All CBC reports will be compiled and presented as part of the August 11, 2025, City Council agenda.
DISCUSSION
Staff has prepared a draft summary report of accomplishments and actions that the CAC (and its subcommittees) has taken from January 1 to June 30, 2025, and a draft summary of activities and agenda items planned for July 1 to December 31, 2025. The report format is based on the template provided by the City Clerk. The report focuses on the work of the CAC and does not include the work plan of Cultural Affairs staff.
