M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Sylnovia Holt Rabb, Acting Director Economic Development Department DATE: April 14, 2021 SUBJECT: Update on Cultural Trust and Creative Space Bond On behalf of the team supporting organizational development and execution of priority projects, this memo serves as an update with you on the progress of the Cultural Trust and the determination of support for the execution of work for the Creative and Cultural Facilities Bond under the auspices of Austin Economic Development Corporation (AEDC). As you are aware, Mayor and Council provided direction to align the development of AEDC with the intent and creation of an “Austin Cultural Trust” through Resolutions 20160303-019, 20170216-040, 20170302-034, 20180215-082 and 20190808-072. Council further directed the City Manager to expedite a review of existing entities and resources that could be centralized to support the timely execution of recovery efforts that could secure or retain creative culture and community benefits in Resolutions 20200521-095 and 20200521-096. AEDC was officially created by Mayor and Council through Resolution 20201001-055 on October 1, 2020. Since that time, staff and consultants have organized a significant amount of research and work to refine the scope of the trust while working with legal teams to determine viability of roles for the organization to support the use of the $12 million Creative and Cultural Facilities Bond. Council also allocated $2.4 million for the Iconic Venue Fund as established in 20201203-046 to create leasing structures to acquire and permanently preserve creative and music venues that promote tourism, support equity, and represent Austin’s brand and history. Contracting with the AEDC The City and AEDC are developing an interlocal agreement to frame the partnership between both agencies and to identify land or buildings to be acquired or land on which buildings would be constructed by the AEDC on behalf of the City with these bond proceeds. EDD staff is consulting with the City Attorney and the City’s outside bond counsel to ensure use and operation of the facilities are within the legal framework for these funds. The interlocal agreement will be placed on a future Council agenda for consideration at the time that the agreement has been agreed upon by City staff and AEDC. Status of the Cultural Trust AEDC is in the process of finalizing findings and feedback in the development of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support the …

ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210315-5.a.i Date: Subject: 3/15/2021 Recommendation to City Council requesting a minimum of $10 million per year for two years for immediate relief from COVID related losses and eliminate cultural arts funding deficits. Seconded By: Commissioner Amy Wong Mok Motion By: Commissioner Lulu Flores Recommendation Requesting a minimum of $10 Million per year in funding for the next two years from any and all available sources to provide Austin artists, arts groups, and non-profit arts organizations to use for immediate relief from COVID-related losses; allocating these funds for survival, job retention, sustaining operations, and to backfill projected deficits in HOT funds for cultural arts contracts in FY 2022 and FY 2023 to pre-COVID (FY 2019) levels. Description of Recommendation to Council The Arts Commission, in unanimous support of the Arts community, recommends that Austin City Council designate a minimum of $10 Million per year in funding to Austin artists, groups, and non-profit arts organizations for their use in retaining jobs, and to assist them in saving and sustaining their operations in this time of economic crisis during the COVID 19 pandemic. The Commission gratefully acknowledges the support the creative sector received from the City of Austin through the CARES Act, but without additional dedicated funding, Austin risks dramatic losses to one of its most valuable assets, the broad and diverse creative arts sector. Sources for the requested minimum $10 Million per year could include, but is not limited to the American Rescue Plan, and city general revenue or other funds. Rationale: The COVID-19 pandemic, and recent winter storm Uri, have generated an unforeseen and unparalleled economic crisis in our community. Their tolls have been not only on human life, but also on the economic life of our businesses and organizations. Austin arts organizations, already reeling from displacement due to the rapid growth and development of our city, were faced with unprecedented and extreme financial challenges brought on by the necessary but drastic and prolonged responses to stem the spread of the pandemic, including closures, stay at home orders and social distancing. Artists, arts organizations and cultural arts venues have lost their traditional revenue streams, are bearing huge losses, and are struggling to survive. Furthermore, historically underserved (ALAANA/BIPOC) and other marginalized organizations and communities (LGBTQ and Disability), often already in economic distress due to systematic 1 of 2 prejudice, were especially hard hit. Artists and arts organizations must still …
ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210315-4.b.ii Seconded By: Commissioner Amy Mok Date: 3-15-2021 Subject: Arts Commission FY22 Budget Recommendation Motioned By: Commissioner Lulu Flores Recommendation Recommendation to approve two new Full Time Employees (FTE) with adequate funding, for the Economic Development Department's Cultural Arts Division in the FY22 budget. Description of Recommendation to Council Our Commission recommends that the City include two new full-time employees (FTE) with adequate funding, in the FY22 budget for the Economic Development Department's Cultural Arts Division. One FTE will be a Community Engagement Specialist/Consultant for the Art In Public Places program. The other will be a Community Engagement Specialist/Consultant for the Cultural Arts Funding program. Rationale: Members of the Arts Community, especially those from historically underrepresented and underfunded groups, are facing continuing financial challenges such as housing, affordable creative spaces, low incomes and access to opportunity and growth. Cultural Arts Division programs provide opportunities to alleviate some of the challenges. The information is complex and dense. New applicants usually require assistance in determining their eligibility and meeting milestones throughout the process. CAD administrators conduct Information Sessions and Open Office Hours to provide assistance. Invitations depend on channels that reach existing applicants or potential applicants that are already knowledgeable about the programs. A Community Engagement Specialist (or Consultant) will provide the communication and outreach skills needed to inform and assist potential applicants. Thus, relieving CAD administrators of these additional tasks to focus on their primary job functions. The Community Engagement Specialist will also bring additional strategies to address equitable access to CAD programs. 1 of 2 10-0 Vote For: Commissioner Jaime Castillo, Chair Commissioner Michelle Polgar, Vice Chair Commissioner Brett Barnes Commissioner Lulu Flores Commissioner Bears Rebecca Fonte Commissioner Felipe Garza Commissioner kYmberly Keeton Commissioner Amy Mok Commissioner Rick van Dyke Commissioner Celina Zisman Against: none Abstain: none Absent: none Attest: Anne-Marie McKaskle-Davis, Arts Commission Staff Liaison 2 of 2
