Title
Recommendation to Review and Discuss Public Comments Responding to 2024 Cultural Arts & Arts Programming Grants
Body
To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Public Art Commission
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Two pieces of non-agendized public comment were submitted to the Public Art Commission (PAC) in advance of the June 17, 2024 meeting. One is an email from Verna A. Castro of Inafa'maolek and the other is an email from Wes Warren of ArtPush (see Exhibit 1). Both public comments were responding to the selection process for the 2024 Cultural Arts & Arts Programming grants.
BACKGROUND
In addition to the written communication, Wes Warren and Jess Warren both provided public comment in-person at the June 17, 2024 PAC meeting. Commissioner Platzgummer requested to discuss these comments, however, because the comments were not agendized, they could not be discussed by the PAC. Additionally, Verna Castro requested a response to her comment. For these reasons, these comments are being agendized to allow members of the PAC to respond to and discuss them.
DISCUSSION
Staff recommends the PAC review and discuss the public comments.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the PAC review and discuss the public comments. This item is for discussion purposes only. No action is required.
