DISCUSSION: COMMUNITY ARTS GRANTS: Cultural Arts Manager Schultz gave the
commissioners a brief presentation as an overview of the Community Arts Grants, their current
structure, and overall process. He then introduced Mrs. Mimi Kim, who briefly reviewed the
two articles that were included with the staff report and staff recommendations for updating
the grantmaking process. Lastly, Mr. Schultz presented a timeline for this discussion on arts
grants, over the next two meetings.
CULTUAL ARTS MANAGER REPORT: Mr. Schultz welcomed Commissioner George and thanked
Vice Chair Miringoff for stepping in to run the meeting when the Chair was absent. He provided
an update on the available funds for the Calavera Hills Community Park Gateway Project of
$11,500 as requested at the September meeting. He explained that for smaller park projects
the funds are often not enough to support a public art installation. The public art ordinance
allows the city to pool these monies for a future park in the same quadrant. The next update
was the launch of the new, on line Artist Registry for temporary public art, which will be used by
the Cultural Arts Office to develop a pool of artists that are pre-qualified for temporary public
art projects. Mr. Schultz shared that the first Permanent Public Art Advisory Subcommittee
meeting for Fire Station 2 will be live streamed on Nov. 10 at 12 p.m. on the city's website.

and attendance at local arts events and programs.
