Item 5 Passed 10-0

Item 5 — Thursday, April 23, 2026

In plain language — from agenda source text

Council is weighing a resolution to adopt a Cultural District Funding Model, which would guide how the city thinks about future budget recommendations for its officially designated Cultural Districts. The model sets up a framework for considering investments in district management, activation, and long-term sustainability, building on the Economic and Cultural District Framework Policy adopted back in 2024. It's a planning blueprint rather than a spending decision — the item itself has no fiscal impact.
