CONSIDERATION OF THE ARTS COMMISSION STRUCTURE
In the past two and half years, the structure or the future of the Arts Commission has been discussed
on numerous occasions. Most recently, Council took action on December 16, 2014 to limit the Arts
Commission to two meetings a year (once every six months), with its efforts to be spent on moving
towards the creation of an Arts Council, which was a concept of a regional approach suggested by
Councilmember Coolidge that evening. The Council will be presented with information on what a regional
approach could provide to the City of Chico in terms of support of the Arts. (Report – Deborah R.
Presson, City Clerk)
Recommendation: The City Clerk recommends that the Council consider the information regarding the
regional approach and provide direction to staff.
