The Fayetteville City Council on June 3 voted to expand the Fayetteville Arts Council's membership from nine to ten members to add a designated liaison from the Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs Advisory Board.

Joanna, presenting the item, said the Arts and Culture Plan recommended revisiting the arts council's role and considering liaisons with other city boards and commissions. She said the Arts Council appointed a subcommittee that recommended creating a seat for a parks advisory-board representative to strengthen collaboration on public art and cultural programming in parks.

Councilmember Burnett moved to advance the ordinance amendment to third reading; the council approved the motion by roll call with all members recorded as in favor. The ordinance language repeals and replaces section 33.34 of the Fayetteville Code of Ordinances to add the Parks Advisory Board representative seat.

There was no public comment on the item at the June 3 meeting.
