BACKGROUND The adopted FY 2022 budget included a non -recurring improvement package to support facilitated strategic planning for the City's Arts & Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission (the Commission). DISCUSSION The Commission engaged Jan Powers with The Powers of Communication to facilitate planning sessions on September 7, 2021 and September 20, 2021; these sessions were posted and held as in -person public meetings in compliance with Iowa Open Meeting Laws. The planning sessions lead by Powers considered the Commission's current ordinance and prior planning work alongside: • Current programs and initiatives facilitated through the City's Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs; • Needs and priorities of the local creative economy and non-profit arts and culture sector with special consideration for COVID-19 recovery and equity impacts; • Regional, state, and national practices related to creative placemaking and the arts as economic, community, and tourism drivers; • Arts & Culture Master Plan; • Imagine Dubuque Plan; • City Council Goals and Priorities. The work from these public planning sessions is reflected in Commission minutes previously submitted to City Council. Planning sessions were followed by additional small group and full Commission discussions as requested by Commissioners to arrive at the 2022-26 Strategic Plan as adopted on January 25, 2022. The plan identifies four high level priorities for the Commission defined by tangible objectives, specific action steps, and accountability as established by designating responsible parties and achievable timelines. The plan was adopted as a living document to be adjusted and updated as the Commission deems necessary. To cultivate accountability, the Commission's regular monthly meeting agenda as of March 22, 2022 includes a standing item for `Strategic Plan Progress Reports from Commissioners'. In addition, the plan's action steps are captured in chronological order, divided by year, on an Excel worksheet that is accessible to all Commissioners. BUDGETIMPACT As this memorandum is associated with information sharing, there is no budget impact. A non -recurring request of $1,600 was approved in the FY 2022 budget for Arts & Cultural Affairs to cover the expense of facilitated planning with Jan Powers; these funds have been expended. :7xd01LY,I►Yil=1zIBl_AI[a]►V_TOIN]Z&'II=11:2 I respectfully request that the Arts & Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission's adopted 2022-26 Strategic Plan as provided be received and filed.
