RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Cultural Affairs Commission (CAC): (1) Dissolve the Ad Hoc 2022 Culver City Performing Arts Grant Program Subcommittee; (2) Create the Ad Hoc 2023 Culver City Performing Arts Grant Program Subcommittee and an Ad Hoc Art in Vacant Storefronts/Businesses Subcommittee; and (3) Assign Commissioners to Ad Hoc and Standing Subcommittees for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
At its first regular meeting in July of each year, the Cultural Affairs Commission typically reviews its subcommittees considering the City Council adopted budget and work program for Cultural Affairs for the coming year, and two Commissioners are assigned to two or more of the CAC’s subcommittees.
Subcommittee meetings are held on an as-needed basis, with some subcommittees meeting as frequently as every month and others only once or twice over the course of a year. In general, “ad hoc” subcommittees serve only a limited or single purpose, are not perpetual, and are dissolved when their specific task is completed. Ad hoc subcommittees do not constitute a “legislative body” and are not subject to the Brown Act. “Standing” subcommittees (e.g., the Public Art Subcommittee) have a continuing subject matter jurisdiction, are considered to be a “legislative body,” and are subject to the Brown Act. These subcommittee meetings must be noticed and open to the public.
For FY 2021-2022, the CAC had the following ad hoc and standing subcommittees:
Ad Hoc:
• Artist Laureate (Fleischer / Wisnosky Stehlin)
• Creative Economy (O’Carroll / Pali)
• Culver City Cultural Affairs Foundation Liaison (O’Carroll / Wisnosky Stehlin)
• 2022 Culver City Performing Arts Grant Program (Fleischer / Wisnosky Stehlin)
• Historic Preservation Ordinance and Program Update (Pali / Williams)
Standing:
• Public Art (Pali / Williams)
Proposed Action 1 - Dissolution of Ad Hoc Subcommittee
The 2022 Performing Arts Grant Program Subcommittee has completed its work and the Commission should now dissolve the subcommittee. The other four ad hoc subcommittees have not completed their work and they should not be dissolved at this time.
Proposed Action 2 - Creation of Ad Hoc Subcommittees
For the upcoming year, staff recommends the CAC create the following subcommittees:
• 2023 Culver City Performing Arts Grant Program Subcommittee
• Art in Vacant Storefronts/Businesses Subcommittee
An art in vacant storefronts/business pilot program was initially conceived of as part of economic recovery in conjunction with the Covid-19 pandemic. Economic Development and Cultural Affairs are partners in this program.
Proposed Action 3 - Appointments to Subcommittees
Should the CAC so desire, it may appoint new or reappoint existing members to its ad hoc and standing subcommittees.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There is no direct fiscal impact. However, staffing and preparing for subcommittee meetings does require the allocation of staff time and resources.
ATTACHMENTS:
None.
