Council has asked for the Commission to discuss, rank and prioritize their projects, initiatives, and administrative policies, to help the City with long-term strategic planning and allocation of resources for the budget cycle FY 2013/14 and 2014/15. Ms. Grose reviewed with the Commission several items that have been suggested by the Commission, the community, and/or City staff, and asked the Commission to consider these items, modify if necessary, and prioritize them from "highest" to "lowest": • Facilitation and implementation of the Cultural Plan Update. • Increase marketing and communication effectiveness • Review Harrington Art Partnership • Continue to implement the Downtown Public Art Plan Commissioner Loll noted that he and Commissioner Hess had been involved in the Workshop that had put together the current priority items, and felt it was important for the Commission to look toward other items that could be included, i.e. increasing passion and taking on more of a leadership role. Commissioner Massie asked whether any of the items on the list were to be included in the Cultural Plan Update. Ms. Crose advised that some of the items would be tied in with the Plan. Commissioner Hess didn't think the Commission had put forward anything about marketing and communication effectiveness and thought this is something that could be reviewed. Commissioner De Baca Martens was concerned about the wording "Review" of Harrington Art Partnership and suggested it be changed to "Assessment". Commissioner Hess felt that an intended outcome of the Partnership needed to be stated. Commissioner De Baca Martens questioned whether the Commission should put forward a "Signature Event" recommendation to City Council. Chairperson McLane felt this would be covered in the Cultural Plan. Commissioner Hess questioned whether City Council would be taking steps from the priorities or were just looking for advisement. Commissioner Loll felt the priorities needed to include something about marketing and communication. A motion was made by Commissioner Hess, seconded by Commissioner Loll, recommending the following Civic Arts Commission priorities, in rank order, be forwarded to City Council for review and consideration: • Facilitation and implementation of the Cultural Plan Update • Increase marketing and communication effectiveness • Evaluate City of Pleasanton art programming Civic Arts Commission February 4, 2013 Page 8
