The Orange County Arts Commission was created by a resolution of the Board of County

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 and receive the status report for information only.
