I’m sure many of you are wondering
how this agenda item came about! Well, I was too!
I spoke to the Town Manager today and he
was very apologetic for not running this agenda item by the CHPAC in advance,
explaining that it was just added to the agenda on Monday. He said that
this is a recommendation that came from him. He explained that if this proposal
is approved it would mean that all art related requests would come to the
CHPAC. The CHPAC would then make recommendations to Town Council about
who should receive funding. Apparently, following that recommendation the
CHPAC would have no further administrative responsibilities. As mentioned
in the agenda, the CHPAC would serve a similar function as the Human Services Advisory
Board. I am still researching what exactly this would mean for us. I
will keep you all posted.
The Council ran out of time before they
were able to reach it on tonight’s agenda. It will most likely go
on the next budget work session agenda, which has not yet been scheduled.
Again, I will keep you all posted. In the meantime, don’t hesitate
to let me know if you have any questions whatsoever.

BUDGET WORKING PAPER
TO:
W.
Calvin Horton, Town Manager
FROM: Kay Johnson, Finance
Director
SUBJECT: Future Funding of Arts Services
and Programs
DATE:
April
27, 2005
The purpose of this working paper is to propose that in future years all
requests for funding of arts services or programs be reviewed by the Chapel
Hill Public Arts Commission with the Commission making funding recommendations
to the Council.
BACKGROUND
The Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission oversees and advises the Council on
public art for the Town. Currently, the Council receives requests
directly from arts organizations in addition to the Chapel Hill Public Arts
Commission.
DISCUSSION
We believe that it would be consistent with the Chapel Hill Public Arts
Commission’s role to advise the Council on public art. To that end,
we recommend that the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission review funding
requests in future years for all arts services and programs. The
Commission would serve a similar review process as that provided by the Human
Services Advisory Board for human services contracts. We recommend a
schedule with proposals for funding being received annually no later than the
January budget forum. The Commission would report to the Council no later
than March budget forum..
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the Council adopt the attached resolution.
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE CHAPEL HILL
PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION AS THE REVIEWING BODY FOR ALL ARTS SERVICES AND PROGRAMS WITH A RESPONSIBILITY TO
MAKE ARTS FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL COUNCIL
(2005-04-27/R-1)
WHEREAS, the Town Council established the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission to
provide leadership on public art matters in Chapel Hill, and
WHEREAS, the Town Council annually review proposals for arts funding and wishes
to use a consistent arts funding method for Town art,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town
of Chapel Hill, that the Council hereby establishes the Chapel Hill Public Arts
Commission as the reviewing body for all arts services and programs with a
responsibility to annually review all proposals received by the January budget
forum and to report and make recommendations to the Council no later than March
budget forum.
This the 27th day of April, 2005.
