PURPOSE OF REPORT
The purpose of this report is to bring to Council a recommended motion arising from an item on the Agenda of the August 23, 2021 meeting of the Community Living Standing Committee.
The recommended motion, noted above, to change the definition of "Jury" and 'service standards/expections' to 'the Arts development Advisory Committee and external professional advice if needed...' will require subsequent amendments to the Arts Development Advisory Committee Bylaw. The Bylaw currently states, in regard to the Committee Roles and Responsibilities, that the Committee shall "Make recommendations to Council on the allocation of funds from the applicable operating and capital budgets and reserves including Public Art (C-CS-10), Lieutenant Governor Distinguished Young Artists Legacy Program (C-CS-10), and the Cultural Wall of Fame (C-CS-15)" (section 21.b). The Mayor's Celebration of the Arts awards is not included in the purview, and should be added to align with the potential changes to Council Policy C-CC-22. Additionally, section 21.e of the Bylaw states that the Committee Shall "Approve potential jurors, with preference given to St. Albert residents." This would also need to be amended to align with the C-CC-22 policy change of making the Arts Development Advisory Committee themselves the jurors. If the Bylaw is not amended to align with the recommended changes to Council Policy C-CC-22, the Bylaw will override the Policy and the Policy changes will not be effected properly.
