BACKGROUND:
On October 17, 1995 the Board of Commissioners awarded State Grassroots
funds to local arts recipients. Funds awarded at this Commission
meeting are county allocated to the Arts Commission in the 95-96 county
budget.
The Orange County Arts Commission was created by a resolution of the
Board of County Commissioners on February 4, 1985. The Arts Commission
is the official county-wide advisory body on the arts. It's primary
goals are: ( 1) to serve as the Local Distributing Agent of State
Grassroots Grants and local (Orange County) funds; (2) to serve as a
"clearing house" for information on the arts; ( 3) to facilitate the
development of self-sustaining arts programs; and (4 ) to advise the
Board of Commissioners on matters involving the arts.
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
The Manager recommends that the Board of Commissioners present the
grant awards to the recipients.
