RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Cultural Affairs Commission (CAC) review and discuss a biannual report of CAC activities and authorize transmittal to the City Council.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In accordance with the Section VI. of the updated City Council Policy No. 3002 titled, City Commissions, Boards and Committees; Appointed Representatives to Outside Agencies and Boards, “[p]eriodically, but no less than biannually, each CBC shall submit to the City Council a written report on their respective activities.” In an effort to implement this reporting requirement uniformly across all CBCs, the City Clerk’s Office notified staff that this item should be included on the January meeting agendas each year, and that all CBC reports will be compiled and presented to the City Council on February 27, 2023. It is anticipated that the next biannual report will be due in July 2023.
Staff has prepared a draft summary report of accomplishments and actions that the CAC (and its subcommittees) has taken from July 1 to December 31, 2022 and a draft summary of activities and agenda items planned for January 1 to June 30, 2023. 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. Staff will continue to present a comprehensive mid-year workplan update, provided to both the CAC and City Council, in conjunction with development of the annual budget.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
