Title
Consider/Discuss/Act on Amending Ordinance 2005-03-023 Section 2-194 Terms of Office, Section 2-197 Meetings and Section 2-198 Duties and Responsibilities Relating to the McKinney Arts Commission
Summary
MEETING DATE: April 2, 2013
DEPARTMENT: CMO
CONTACT: Jason Gray, City Manager
Janay Tieken, Grants Administrator
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
· Approve as recommended
ITEM SUMMARY:
· With the passage of the Public Art Program, the McKinney Arts Commission's scope of work has expanded to include oversight of the public art process.
· With the passage of the Public Art Master Plan, the McKinney Arts Commission is now responsible for fundraising toward the procurement and maintenance of public art.
· Staff recommends removing the requirement that the McKinney Community Development Corporation appoint a non-voting liaison to the Commission. The MCDC has never fulfilled this requirement, nor does either entity see the value in doing so.
· The current Ordinance states, "No Commissioner of the Arts Commission shall serve more than three consecutive two-year terms," which is in conflict with Council's policy that Board and Commission appointees not serve more than two consecutive two year terms. As a result, the language has been modified.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
· The McKinney Arts Commission voted to recommend the changes to the Ordinance so that it can accurately reflect the duties of Commission.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
· N/A
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
· McKinney Arts Commission Recommends approval
