Arts grant and matching monies provided by the City of Fort Worth. Working with the Park and Recreation Department, the Arts Council will expand the already successful Performing Arts Grant to promote youth and family-oriented arts programming throughout the community. Special programming will be designed for latch-key children and an arts summer camp will be offered for children at neighborhood park sites. The $300,000 grant application submitted last month to the National Endowment for the Arts requires a 2:1 local public dollar match, or $600,000 over a three-year period. MISSION STATEMENT The mission of this program is to enhance cultural and arts awareness and im- prove the quality of cultural products to heighten creativity that will address the needs of the community. The program will include an education module that will provide an outreach component in the underserved areas of the city. This will bring about a performance tool to be used in conjunction with local arts groups providing programs for the community. PROPOSAL It is proposed that the City contribution be achieved by budgeting interest earnings in the amount of $200,000 for FY 1989-909 1990-91 and 1991-92 from ;3 million in the General Fund Fund Balance designated for the purpose of this City Arts Endowment program. Council approval of the attached resolution will document the City's three-year commitment. LEGALITY The City Attorney has reviewed this proposal and finds that there are no legal impediments to the proposal.. Interest earnings will, however, have to be bud- geted in each fiscal year and any contracts in future fiscal years shall be subject to the appropriation of funds.
