Title

A Resolution of the City Commission approving amended Cultural Grant guidelines and process.

Body

The Cultural Development Board annually assesses the cultural grant guidelines, application, and process from the previous year with the purpose of recommending updates that are then incorporated into the next grant cycle. This year, the Cultural Development Board thoroughly reviewed the program and did not propose significant updates.

Prior to implementing this year’s cultural grant process, Vice-Chair Burgos was nominated to speak to the City Commission on the Board’s behalf to receive guidelines for staff, the Cultural Development Board, and applicants. The Commission responded with direction to encourage greater participation by Coral Gables’ organizations and residents, including added requirements to ensure fiscal responsibility.

Following the City Commission meeting, staff met individually with the Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and Commissioners to gain further insight regarding proposed updates.

Staff worked with the City Attorney’s office and drafted revised guidelines to present to the Commission as a whole. The cultural grant guidelines and application reflect these updates and were presented to the Cultural Development Board on Wednesday, March 8^th.
