Subject: First review of the fiscal year 2022-23 Arts Commission Workplan
District: All
Recommended Action
Review and discuss the FY 2022-23 Arts Commission Workplan.
Executive Summary
In 2018, the City Council revised the Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.15.020 (C) to create
uniform policies and procedures related to boards and commissions, requiring each board or
commission to provide the City Council, for its approval, an annual work plan of activities to be
undertaken. The purpose of the work plan is to encourage increased dialogue between the commission and the City Council. The intent is to ensure that each commission is working in line with the priorities of the City Council.
Each year, the Arts Commission reviews and updates its workplan. Arts Commissioners are asked to provide input and suggest any revisions at today’s meeting.
Next Steps
Final review and approval of the FY 2022-23 Arts Commission Workplan at the January regular
meeting, before the proposed workplan will be presented to City Council for approval in 2023.
Fiscal Analysis
No additional city funding is being requested at this time.
