RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant with the State of California, California Arts Council, to pay the County an amount up to $12,000 to provide advocacy for the advancement of the arts in Contra Costa County for the term of October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

A 50% County match of the awarded amount is required.

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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The State-Local Partnership Program fosters community development through the arts at the county level via partnerships between the California Arts Council and a local arts agency. Partners benefit from funding, technical assistance and coordinated activities that support their efforts that enrich the lives of the members of their communities through the arts.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not receive available grant funds.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
