Participating bureaus wishing to dedicate eligible costs or eligible funds towards the creation or improvement of creative space must obtain written approval from the City Administrator. Requests must be submitted to the Office of Arts & Culture. Funds may not be used for programming or staffing.
Bureaus are responsible for operations and maintenance of creative space generated through this program and must submit an operations plan, 5-year programming plan, estimated annual budget and equity statement for the creative space.
If any part of an improvement project is a creative space, the participating bureau may, after obtaining written approval from the City Administrator, opt to dedicate its eligible costs or eligible funds for future maintenance of the creative space.
The Office of Arts & Culture will adopt administrative rules and procedures to implement this section, which to the greatest extent practicable will set forth the same procedures to be followed by all participating bureaus.
