City staff outlines transition to a standing Civic Arts Commission and spring recruitment
Summary
Staff announced that the Civic Arts Committee will transition to a standing Civic Arts Commission with recruitment beginning in March and appointments in June; the new commission will have five voting members plus two nonvoting youth commissioners and will set future meeting frequency.
City staff reported that the Civic Arts Committee is transitioning into a standing Civic Arts Commission and outlined the recruitment timeline and membership structure.
An administrative staff speaker said the city clerk’s office will begin recruitment this spring; applications will be reviewed and finalists forwarded for interviews, with final selection and appointments by city council in June. Staff said the new body will have five voting commissioners plus two nonvoting youth commissioners who will participate in review and discussion but not vote. The city will ask current members to indicate if they seek reappointment so staff can report to council on vacancies.
Department director Zach Lehi (referenced by staff) described the intent to align the commission’s appointment and rotation process with other standing commissions and said the new commission will determine its meeting frequency once seated. Staff cautioned that meeting cadence could be monthly or every-other-month depending on workload.
Staff also noted the pipeline of projects for the commission is expanding and invited commissioners and interested members of the public to apply to the clerk’s office. The commission adjourned after a motion to adjourn was made and seconded.
