RESERVE FUND FOR CULTURE AND ARTS
The City Council hereby recognizes the importance of promoti}}g
culture and the arts within the City of Newport Beach. A n3ber
of individuals and groups, such as the Arts Commission and Friends
of the Newport Theatre Arts Center, have been organized with the
express purpose of developing and promoting culture, theatre and
the arts.
The City would compliment these efforts by establishing a Reserve
Fund for Culture and Arts that can be used for a) developing a
master plan for the promotion of culture and arts; b) acquiring
land and /or the construction of facilities to promote culture and
arts and; c) instituting other cultural promotion projects.
The sum of money reserved each year shall be at the discretion of
the City Council and is to be held in reserve until specific cul-
tural or artistic planning, promotion and /or construction projects
are approved by the City Council. It is the policy of the City of
Newport Beach that expenditures from the reserve fund should be
matched equally by the community in the form of contributions and
donations.
In regard to the City's role in financially sponsoring art and
cultural events, the City Arts Commission shall review all programs
and requests for support from arts groups. The Commission shall
forward its recommendations for funding to the City Council for
final approval. Any appropriation shall not exceed 50% of the Arts
Commissions' annual budget. For the purpose of this policy, arts
groups shall be defined as those involved in visual, musical,
theatre, dance, crafts, performing and literary activities.
The following priorities shall be considered by the Commission. The
order of preference for granting support shall be as follows:
a) local arts groups located within the City and offering programs
to City residents;
b) regional arts groups located in Orange County and offering
programs to City residents; and
c) arts groups located in California and performing or offering
programs to City residents.
Groups not offering programs or services to local residents shall not
be eligible for support from the City.
