During the COVID-19 pandemic, these meetings were suspended. Consequently, this will be the first joint dinner meeting with the Cultural Commission since 2020.
DISCUSSION
As a continued commitment to enhance communication between the City Council and boards, committees, and commissions, the City Council will meet with City boards, committees, and commissions to share updates. The Cultural Commission will provide the City Council with an update on current activities and potential future projects.
The Cultural Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council in matters pertaining to the enhancement of multi-cultural experiences and the beautification of the City through art. Additionally, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council on programs/activities to encourage educational, cultural, sports, technical and governmental exchanges to help acquaint residents of Santa Clara with cultural diversity here and abroad.
At the March 19, 2024 City Council meeting, the Cultural Commission will provide the City Council with an update on current activities, accomplishments, and potential future projects.
