Referral History:

At the February Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5) monthly meeting, the AC5 commissioners approved submitting a Board Order to authorize the discussion of a new Arts and Culture Plan at a Family and Human Services Committee meeting. On March 10, 2020 the County Board of Supervisors approved referring to the Family and Human Services Committee for discussion the pursuit of a new Countywide Arts and Culture Plan in Fiscal Year 2020-2021.

The Commission is advocating for the execution of a new Countywide plan and wishes to present on the topic.

AC5 wishes to present the findings of this Prospectus and more, to determine the feasibility of pursuing execution of this planning process in Fiscal Year 2020-21 and to request input on the plan development process.
