Title
Recommendation to Adopt The Public Art Commission Meeting Calendar for 2027 that Seeks to Avoid Possible Conflicts that Inhibit Maximum Public Participation
Body
To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Public Art Commission
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report outlines the proposed Public Art Commission (PAC) meetings for 2027. The proposed schedule accounts for potential scheduling conflicts that may arise stemming from holidays or other conflicts.
BACKGROUND
The PAC regularly scheduled meetings are held on the third Monday of every other month. The following shows the third Monday of every other month and the potential conflicts in parentheses.
• 1/18/2027 (Martin Luther King Jr. Day)
• 3/15/2027
• 5/17/2027
• 7/19/2027
• 9/20/2027
• 11/15/2027
DISCUSSION
The regularly scheduled meeting days for the Planning Board are the second and fourth Mondays of the month. The regularly scheduled meeting days for the City Council are the first and third Tuesday of the month. Considering these other meeting schedules, in addition to any other regularly scheduled PAC meetings identified by commissioners as potentially hindering public participation, staff proposes that the PAC adopt the following condensed meeting calendar for 2027.
• 3/15/2027
• 4/27/2027
• 7/19/2027
• 9/20/2027
The 2027 Cultural Art and Arts Programming proposals will be due Thursday, March 18, 2027. Since the Planning Board is scheduled to meet the fourth Monday of the month, Monday, April 26, 2027, staff proposes the PAC meet Tuesday, April 27, 2027. This limits scheduling conflicts, allowing members of the public to attend both meetings should they choose to do so. Additionally, this allows for Cultural Art and Arts Programming funding decisions to be made quickly, rather than having to wait until May 17, 2027.
ALTERNATIVES
• Adopt Public Art Commission meeting calendar for 2027 that seeks to avoid possible conflicts that inhibit maximum public participation.
• Select different dates for any or all Public Art Commission meetings for 2027 to avoid possible conflicts that inhibit maximum public participation.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Public Art Commission meeting calendar for 2027 that seeks to avoid possible conflicts that inhibit maximum public participation.
