EMMA S. BARRIENTOS MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION 20220302-4a Seconded By: Maga Rojas FY2023 Budget Recommendations Date: March 2, 2022 Subject: Motioned By: Navarro Recommendation The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Advisory Board (MACC) recommends the City Council direct the City Manager to take the following actions and to allocate additional funds for the following items for FY 2023. These recommendations include actions that can be taken immediately outside the budget process and recommendations for the FY 2023 budget: Description of Recommendation to Council 1. Allocate sufficient funding for a Music HUB and provide a feasibility assessment for a Music Residency Program at the ESB MACC. Convert long-standing Part-Time Employees to Full-Time Employees. 2. Rationale: ALIGNMENT & PURPOSE As the City of Austin continues to champion the integration of equity into the budget process - such as pursuing formal structural changes, being deliberate in finding opportunities to prioritize equity, and redefine collaborations - the ESB MACC Advisory Board recommends the creation of a Music Hub and a Music Residency program at the ESB MACC. The 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic has created unique challenges for the local Latino music community leaving many without the means to adjust to digital platforms. Coupled with the total lack of local recording studios catering to Latino artists, many musicians have been forced to leave the profession or move from the city entirely. Together with our community, we want to shape a Music Residency program that can help put artists back to work by sharing their knowledge and experience with emerging local artists while providing much needed services and training on how to succeed in the music industry. The MACC is fortunate to have the support of our community through the 2018 voter-approved bond initiative that has allowed us to begin the work of expanding our center to better meet the needs of the community. And as we begin to collectively imagine a brighter future, music infrastructure has been identified as one of key areas of improvement. Our goal is to always stay on pace with the needs of our community, and a Music Residency program, in parallel with the creation of a music HUB at the ESB MACC, will provide our local Latino musicians with services that allow them to grow on pace with our city’s population growth, and to help us remain the “live music capital of the world.” HISTORY 1 of …
