RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends: 1) That the Cultural Affairs Commission (CAC) receive updates pertaining to the Creative Economy Report since the April 18, 2017 Joint City Council / Cultural Affairs Commission meeting and consider these together with the information and recommendations from the joint meeting; and, 2) (As Desired) Appoint a second commissioner to the CAC’s Ad Hoc Creative Economy Report Subcommittee.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Presentations of the Creative Economy Report of Culver City were made to the CAC on March 21, 2017 and to the City Council on April 11, 2017. On April 18, 2017, the City Council and the CAC held a joint meeting at which time it was agreed that a short- and long-term action plan should be developed and that the CAC would work in conjunction with the City Council’s Economic Development Subcommittee in making those recommendations.
The CAC’s July meeting is typically when newly appointed or re-appointed Commissioners are sworn in, and a Chair and Vice Chair are elected for the new fiscal year. This is also when subcommittees are dissolved and created and appointments to those subcommittees are made. At this juncture, staff recommends that in the interest of time, the existing Ad Hoc Creative Economy Report Subcommittee begin work on an action plan. Chair Len Dickter and Vice Chair Rich Cherry are currently appointed to this subcommittee but Vice Chair Cherry will be resigning from the CAC as of June 30, 2017 due to the demands of his new job. Based on Vice Chair Cherry’s limited availability these last few months, it is assumed that he will no longer be actively involved as a subcommittee member. Pending confirmation from Vice Chair Cherry, the CAC has the option of appointing a second commissioner to serve with Chair Dickter on that subcommittee through June 30, 2017.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Currently there is no fiscal impact associated with this item other than staff time.
