RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or his designee, to execute a contract with the State of California, California Arts Council, in an amount not to exceed $1,550 for the Poetry Out Loud program for the period October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$1,550 is provided by the California Arts Council. No County match is required.
BACKGROUND:
The California Arts Council provides funding annually for cost of the County to participate in the Poetry Out Loud competition. Poetry Out Loud is an opportunity for high school students throughout the County to learn about poetry and participate in a competition. The winner for Contra Costa County will then proceed on to the Statewide competition.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the funding is not accepted, then the County will not be represented in the Statewide Poetry Out Loud Competition.
