The City Council hereby recognizes the importance of promoting culture and the
arts within the City of Newport Beach. A number of individuals and groups,

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.

planning, promotion and /or construction projects as approved by the City

reserve fund should be matched equally by the community in the form of
contributions and donations.

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
