ACTION ALERT. . .
CITY of SAN DIEGO ARTS & CULTURE BUDGET HEARING - YOUR ATTENDANCE IS NEEDED! It's City of San Diego budget season, which means your attendance and support matter now more than ever! Our Goal - 1 Cent for the Arts! Wednesday, May 9 at 9:00am (First Up on the Agenda)City Council Meeting: Public Hearing on the Mayor's Proposed FY13 Budget City Administration Building 202 C Street, Council Chambers, 12th Floor It will be critical to have arts and culture supporters fill up the Council Chambers for this budget hearing. ACTION REQUESTED:1) Please attend and/or send board and staff. 2) Submit a Speaker's Slip (click this link to download it) in support of 1 Cent for the Arts, but check the box for "Decline to Speak" (it is done for you!) - click in the field and the pre-entered text appears.
- cut along the dotted lines so you submit the appropriately sized slip.
Strategy: - The Commission and the Regional Arts and Culture Coalition will prepare an organized presentation.
- This year the City Council will receive a report from the Commission that presents two scenarios for funding:
1) Use the Mayor's budget for the Allocations Program at last year's funding level and supports a distribution to organizations receiving a 3 rank or better.2) The second scenario includes a 5% increase to the Allocations Program and funds organizations receiving a rank of 3- or better. The Commissioners are recommending a 5% increase because total TOT (the revenue source for Commission programs) is projected to increase by 5% from FY12 to FY13. In other words, as TOT funding grows arts and culture funding should keep at the same pace as they contribute to making San Diego a cultural destination. - After the May budget revise is announced later this month, and if more funds are available, the Commission will seek more funds to get back to the 1 Cent of TOT for the Arts.
