RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration and Juneteenth Celebration Advisory Committee 1) Approve the Entertainment & Talent Ad Hoc Subcommittee Recommendations 2) Discuss the Role of the Entertainment & Talent Ad Hoc Subcommittee.
BACKGROUND
The Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration and Juneteenth Celebration Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) is tasked with advising the Office of Economic and Cultural Development staff with the planning of the Juneteenth Celebration for 2025. On September 18, 2024, the Entertainment & Talent Ad Hoc Subcommittee was formed.
Advisory Committee Ad Hoc Subcommittees
An “ad hoc” subcommittee serves only a limited or single purpose. It is not perpetual, and it is dissolved when its specific task is completed. An Ad Hoc Subcommittee may be formed or dissolved at any Commission meeting, as long as the discussion has been placed on the Agenda in advance. Once an Ad Hoc Subcommittee has been created, updates are typically given by Members. By consensus of the Commission, a separate Agenda Item is sometimes prepared and presented on a specific Ad Hoc Subcommittee’s topic or event.
The role of the Entertainment & Talent for Juneteenth and MLK Celebrations Ad Hoc Sub Committees should be determined by the Advisory Committee. As with all committees the Entertainment & Talent Ad Hoc Subcommittees must act with the oversight of the City Staff and Officials.
