Item Summary:
The City contracted with The Cultural Planning Group (CPG) for development of the Community Cultural and Arts Assessment Plan in November, 2013. The plan will provide short term and long range actions, and culture and arts strategies for the City.
The proposed addition to the scope of work is to enable the CPG to integrate a set of recommendations regarding the Historic Homes into the Community Cultural Plan. The Community Cultural Plan will provide recommendations regarding the resources needed and the recommended organizational structure to support the implementation of the Community Cultural Plan. Since the functional operations and oversight of the historic homes and cultural affairs are tied together, it will be beneficial for CPG to take into consideration the impact of the Magellan Strategy Group's Report. Additionally, CPG will work with the Mayor and Council to develop a vision and goals for the historic homes; meet with leaders of the "Friends" Groups, and meet with key city staff members. The amendment includes a 2 day site visit; all meetings, coordination, follow up, and development of recommendations into the final report due.

Upon approval of this amendment the revised contract amend will be $90,000. $223,605 is currently available in Operating Contingency (10015850-579001-14005) to cover the cost of this amendment.
