RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract with the State of California to pay the County $1,000 for the Arts and Culture Commissions Poetry Out-Loud for the period of October 20, 2011 through June 30, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding will be provided by the State of California with no required County match.

BACKGROUND:

Poetry Out Loud is administered in partnership with the State arts agencies of allfifty states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will lose out on the opportunity to receive the funding and local high school students may not be able to participate in this nationwide event.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
