BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
As was the case in prior years, each of the City’s Commissions, Boards and Committees have an opportunity to provide input related to the budget and work plan for FY 2025-26 before the City Manager presents the proposed budget to the City Council. The City Council is scheduled to receive individual department presentations on current year work plan status updates on March 3 - 5, 2025 and on next fiscal year’s proposed budget on May 19 - 20, 2025. The FY 2025-26 budget is scheduled for adoption on June 9, 2025. CAC members are welcome to attend any of these meetings.
Staff will provide a status update via PowerPoint on the FY 2024-25 Cultural Affairs work plan followed by an overview of the FY 2025-26 Cultural Affairs work plan priorities. The attached documents are a draft of reports that will be forwarded to City Council and, if approved, will be included in the FY 2025-26 City budget book.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2024-25 and proposed FY 2025-26 work plans have a fiscal impact which includes staff costs, contract labor, and materials. Most of these costs are paid for from the Cultural Trust Fund (Fund 413); full-time staff costs are paid for from the City’s General Fund.
