Background:

The Sierra Arts Foundation’s mission as a local arts agency since 1971 is to be the region’s premier arts organization with an emphasis on teaching, nurturing and supporting the arts in our community. Sierra Arts strives to provide education opportunities for artists of all ages, as well as development and training, financial support and promotional and marketing assistance. Sierra Arts creates and manages spaces and venues throughout our community for artists to perform and display their work.

Analysis:

During a recent review of the Foundation’s bylaws, it was discovered that one of the Articles in the Bylaws specifies that the Mayor of the City of Sparks appoint a member to serve on Sierra Arts Foundation’s Board of Trustees. The term for appointees is one year, and can be reappointed any number of times.

Alternatives:

Council could give other direction to the City Manager.

Recommended Motion:

I move to confirm the Mayor’s appointment to the Sierra Arts Foundation Board of Trustees.
