Title
Discussion of Cultural Commission Work Plan for FY2019/21
Report
BACKGROUND
Each year, the Cultural Commission considers three to five specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound goals and/or activities for the year. These are intended to focus the efforts of the Commission and respond to City Council priorities within existing budget direction and resource limitations.
At the July 1, 2019 meeting, the Commission discussed the following draft work plan goals. The attached work plan document further defines the goals and objectives.
1. Host and enhance multicultural events to encourage and acquaint Santa Clara residents with cultural diversity.
2. Develop and encourage interactive, art opportunities to provide temporary, performing, cultural, and public art in the city.
3. Raise visibility of commemorative months.
4. Enhance communication and media strategy to increase community awareness of the Cultural Commission.
DISCUSSION
The Cultural Commission will continue to review, modify and discuss FY2019/21 work plan goals and “year at a glance” (Attachment 1). The Commission may also review, discuss and assign members to subcommittees to meet the goals and objectives of the work plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
