RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract with the State of California, California Arts Council, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $13,248 for program technical assistance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County will receive funding to continue to provide the programs administered by the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County. A County match of $13,248 is provided through budgeted General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Established by the Board of Supervisors in December 1996 as an official County commission and the authorized County partner with the California Arts Council, the Arts and Culture Commission (AC5) first applied for and received funding from the State-Local Partnership Program in July 1995 for fiscal year 1995-1996. Since that time, the Board of Supervisors has designated and reaffirmed the Arts and Culture Commission as the authorized partner of the State-Local Partnership Program of the California Arts Council. This designation allows the County to apply for and accept funding from the State to enhance art and culture programs in the county.

On September 14, 2011 the California Arts Council awarded the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County a State-Local Partnership Program Technical Assistance grant for FY 2011-12.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not receive grant funds aimed at improving the Arts.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
