Arts & Culture Commission Regular Meeting
The Commission received a detailed presentation on the Arts and Culture Policy Project, which included a community needs assessment and an evaluation of the existing grants program.

Discussions covered the adoption of inclusive definitions of arts and culture and outlined a five-year policy framework implementation plan, which includes goals such as the creation of a public art master plan, formalizing arts department relationships, and exploring new revenue sources.
