Participation in this effort has been open to any interested organization, and has included the SCV Arts Council, the Canyon Theatre Guild, the SCV Repertory Theater, the Theater Arts for Children, the Santa Clarita Ballet Company, the SCV Youth Orchestra, the Symphony of the Canyons, the SCV Arts Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the Newhall School District, and others. As an outgrowth of this effort, and in recognition of the shortage of performing arts space in the community, the Theater Arts for Children, the Repertory Theater, the Newhall School District and the City are exploring the restoration of the Newhall Elementary School Auditorium as such a site. The actual cost of restoring this facility would be primarily dependent on private fundraising efforts and grants. To assist in the fundraising it is felt that City endorsement by use of the City's name and influence in contacting potential supporters is critical. Therefore, staff, with assistance from the City Attorney, has prepared for City Council consideration a Resolution outlining the City's role and responsibility in the endeavor. There would be no fiscal impact to.the City as a result of City Council adoption of the Resolution.
