To increase efficiency and administrative support of boards and commissions, staff has recommended that the Arts Council, Beautification Commission, and Historic Preservation Commission be combined to form a new Cultural Commission. To accomplish this goal, it is necessary to repeal certain ordinances and resolutions in order to consolidate the Arts Council, Beautification Commission and Historic Preservation Commission into the new Cultural Commission. The proposed ordinance effectively forms the new Cultural Commission and sunsets the Arts Council, Beautification Commission and Historic Preservation Commission.
