The y will b~ commiss io ned to apply for and accept gifts , grants , funds . c ontr 1bu t1on s and beqµests m furtheranc e of a corril'umty ans p rogr am . In June of 199 !, t he Parks and Re cr eat ion Commiss io n recommended to City Counc il the crea tion of a Cultural A ff air s Commission . The Parks and Recreation Co mmissi on me t w ith City Cou ncil 1y discuss the issue. 1The C1t'j,-Counc il gave d 1rect 1.m to move forw ard with the creation of the Cultura l Counc!'il. The ord inanc e is compri sed of two parts , the f irst establish ing the Cultural Commi ss ion and the second prov 1d1ng for a joint me et ing of the Board s and Commissio ns . Co un cil has requeste9 the establishment of a Cultr al commiss ion . Upon the reco mmend auon of t r ,,; City Anorney a joint meeting o the Boa rds and Comm1ss1ons ha s been established to coordin ate and fa cil itate the pr iorities an d requests for cap 1ta 1 proj ect items . The henef1t of a joint me eting w ould be t o allow ea ch Bo ard and Commi ssion to view not on ly the priorities of t hat Board b ut the Ci ty as a whole . Th e d esire d r es ult 1s to have members of the Boards and Comm1ss 1on s s ee tlie process as a w ho le rather th.an 1ust a small part . It 1s bdeved that t he 10 1nt b udget p roc e~"i will or ov,de b.:tter commu r11ca t 1o n and c oor'1ina t1 o n and an over a~I J • • • understanding of the City's budget for capital projects . Thia should 1110 answer individual questions as to why the City does or does not fund a wonhwhile project . Man y of the requests to the City are wonhwhile ; however, due to the limited funding aspects , priorities have to be made . This approach is conceptual and may be deleted by motion from the current ordinance by eliminat ing Section 2 of the Ordinance . If Section 2 is deleted , under Chane,, Plann ing and Zoning and Pa r~s and Recrea t ion will still review capital items . The other Board s and Comm issions could still make requests to the Counc il in the budge t process . It should be noted tt,at the Water and Sewer Board has indicated that attendance should not be made mandatory for all members of the Boards and Commissions at the joint meet ing . The Water and Sewer Board has also indicated that their role may not be app ropr iate 1n that funding for the Water and Sewer Board is not fro m the Ge neral Fund . Co uncil has the option of either establ ishing a policy making attenda nce or •,on al or m ay delete the Water and Sewer Board from Section 2 , of the Or dmenc e . FINANCIAL IMPACT The members of the Cultura l A tfairs Comm iss ion will serve w ithout compensation . As with ()!her Boards and Commiss io ns , an oµerat iona l budget will be established to ass ist tl",e Cultural Affa irs Com miss ion 1n achieving the ir e ~tab:ished goals .
