County, city give unanimous support to 124-page arts and culture master plan
Summary
A staff representative reported that both county and city councils unanimously adopted a 124‑page arts and culture master plan by resolution of support; the resolution signals policy backing but does not commit funding, and staff said it will inform future funding requests and implementation work.
Staff told the board that both county and city councils voted unanimously to adopt the county arts and culture master plan as a resolution of support, describing it as a 124-page document intended to guide arts investment and programming over the next decade. "We received unanimous votes in favor to adopt the arts and culture master plan at both the county council and city council, via a resolution of support," staff said, noting the resolution expresses sentiment and does not guarantee funding.
Board members discussed how the plan creates an implementation timeline and an opportunity for the board to advocate for funding and projects. Staff said the plan includes immediate, near-term, midterm and long-term priorities and that the adoption is a starting point to pursue implementation actions such as new funding mechanisms, partnerships with private developers and targeted grant requests to support public art and cultural programming.
