Arts & Culture committee advances six work‑plan priorities, including public art and amphitheater feasibility
Summary
The committee approved a staff-drafted list of FY 2026–27 priorities — public art, cultural events, amphitheater feasibility, funding/partnerships, Olympics & Centennial planning, and historical-resources collaboration — and directed staff to forward the list to City Council for August consideration.
Committee members agreed on a concise set of priorities to include in the FY 2026–27 Arts & Culture Committee work plan and voted to forward the staff-worded list to City Council for the August packet.
Samantha Webb, Beaches, Parks and Recreation director, walked through the recommended categories and reminded members the committee meets quarterly and should limit the number of active work items to achievable goals. The six categories the committee endorsed were: public art (utility boxes, murals, crosswalks, statues), cultural events and programming, amphitheater feasibility and site selection, funding/partnerships and sponsorships, Olympics and Centennial planning, and historical-resources collaboration. "My goal would be to get a final determination on your items this evening, and then I can take the work plan to the council at the next August meeting," Webb said.
Members voted to accept the list with staff refinements to wording; staff will present the committee’s priorities to City Council on the next available August meeting date and may call a special meeting afterward to allow subcommittees to begin work.
