APPROVE RESOLUTION 11-01 CHANGING THE MEETING
DATE OF THE ARTS COMMISSION FROM THE THIRD
THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH TO THE SECOND THURSDAY
OF EACH MONTH
Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve Resolution 11-01 changing the Arts Commission meeting date from the
third Thursday of each month to the second Thursday of each month.
BACKGROUND
The Arts Commission was formed by the City Council in December 2009. At that time, the
meeting dates were codified in the City's Municipal Code, Chapter 2.29 Section 2.29.030, as the
third Thursday of each calendar month at an hour set by the Commission. This June, City staff
implemented Thursdays @ Newhall programming, which includes an enhanced Farmers Market,
the existing Art Walk, and the newly implemented SENSES event on the third Thursday of the
month from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. SENSES features food, drinks, art exhibits, music, culinary
treats, and artist -designed experiences that revolve around a theme and heighten one's senses.
Thursdays @ Newhall is designed to generate awareness of Newhall as a burgeoning Arts and
Entertainment District, expand City involvement with various local arts groups, and attract
people to Newhall on a consistent basis.
The Arts Commission plays a critical role as ambassadors for arts -related matters in Santa
Clarita. As such, moving the Commission's monthly meeting from the third Thursday of the
month to the second Thursday of the month would allow the Commissioners to attend SENSES.
This would provide the Commission with the chance to network with various arts groups, assess
the community's response to Thursdays @ Newhall, and gain better insight into how Newhall
can continue to be transformed into an Arts and Entertainment District.
