The Commission’s work on our annual arts funding process will be presented to City Council for their consideration on Monday, August 18 as part of a public hearing on the city’s upcoming budget. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. and is in the Council Chambers on the first floor of City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. The presentation will include an opportunity for public comment.
