The new CAC state program will fund city arts agencies that have completed a

Directors has agreed to raise the matching funds ($22,500). A part-time coordinator ai
part-time teachers will be contracted to offer programs in visual and performing arts.

The Carlsbad Education Foundation is considering matching funds for this grant request at its January 12, 1994 Board Meeting. Based on the information available a
the deadline for this agenda bill, the request includes the YES project only. If, howew
the Education Foundation is willing to match the grant with $7,500, the Arts Office wil
include a program collaborating with Schools Out to offer after school arts programs.

matched with $22,500 new private or public funds. Carlsbad YES has agreed to raisc
$22,500 in new private dollars. Should the matching dollars not be raised, the City rr
