Staff Report
DATE: January 19, 2023
TO: Cultural Arts Commission
FROM: Erin O’Brien, Business Manager
SUBJECT: Report regarding the Public Art Master Plan
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Cultural Arts Commission be apprised of the status of the Public Art Master Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In April 2022 City staff awarded a contract to Art Builds Community (ABC) for the development of the City’s first Public Art Master Plan. There are four main phases outlined in the development of
the Public Art Master Plan:
•Phase I : Research
•Phase II: Community Engagement
•Phase III: Synthesis and Plan Outline
•Phase IV: Write and Refine Plan
Phases I and II wrapped-up in December and consisted of extensive research, interviews, focus group conversations, and community outreach. Over twenty meetings were held between the months of
June and December with various stakeholders, city staff, and community members. The ABC team found creative ways to engage the community at various pop-up events and provided surveys seeking input on the future of art in South San Francisco. Through this process a robust list of emerging themes developed and will help guide phases III and IV of the creation of the Public Art Master Plan.
The end result of these efforts will deliver a comprehensive Public Art Master Plan that establishes a
foundational pathway and achieves executable guidelines that strengthen the City’s unique, regional identity from the present to the future.

Staff Report
DATE: January 19, 2023
TO: Cultural Arts Commission
FROM: Angela Duldulao, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Cultural Arts Funding Review
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Cultural Arts Commission receive an update on funding for Cultural Arts projects.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the November 17, 2022 Cultural Arts Commission meeting, staff provided information about funding available for the Cultural Arts Program to aid the Commission in the planning and
prioritization of art projects. During discussion at the November meeting, the Commission requested
that further discussion on the following topics take place at this January meeting: discussion of an appropriate running balance for the Cultural Arts special revenue fund, preparation of a budget report that shows all available arts funding, and review of a list of capital projects and other art opportunities.
For this month’s report, staff has provided the following attachments that will be presented at the
meeting.
Attachment 1 – Cultural Arts Fund Summary: This is a new report that provides a high-level summary of available funding. This report also identifies which funds are currently not designated
for a specific art project and the total balance of unrestricted funds.
Attachment 2 – Presentation, “Cultural Arts Funding Review (Continued)”: Staff will guide the Commission through this presentation at the meeting. Note that slides 6 to 12 provides a partial listing of art opportunities for the Commission’s consideration. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive
list.
Attachment 3 – Capital Projects Drawings with Art Opportunities: This includes a snapshot of drawings from a few capital projects in which the Sculpture Subcommittee has inquired about placement for potential art acquisitions. The drawings identify potential locations in which the
placement of art might be feasible or ideal, but opportunities art not intended to be limited to what is
identified in the drawing. Project drawings that are included in this attachment are for the Orange Memorial Park Sports Field, Library | Parks and Recreation Center, Centennial Way Trail, and the new Aquatic Center.
Agenda Item VI.2 - Cultural Arts Funding Review
Staff Report
To: Cultural Arts Commission Date: January 19, 2023
Subject: Cultural Arts Funding Review Page: 2
Cultural Arts Fundraising/Donations Account (Special Revenue Account)
One key question in which staff seeks guidance from the Cultural Arts Commission is regarding what an appropriate rolling balance is to maintain in the Cultural Arts Fundraising/Donations account. For
the Cultural Arts Program, this account has traditionally been used to fund activities that would not
be allowed under the City’s General Fund, such as awards for juried art exhibits and the Jack Drago Cultural Arts Commission Youth Scholarship Program. Revenue has typically been collected from artist entry fees, donations, and fundraising efforts.
Historically, the Commission has maintained a practice of setting aside at least $3,000 for the Jack Drago Cultural Arts Commission Youth Scholarship Program. The amount presumes an award of at least $1,000 for each of the South San Francisco Unified School District’s high schools, but this has not been a hard rule and has depended upon the quantity and quality of applications received. As the Commission may consider various opportunities to spend funds from this account, staff recommends
that the Commission maintain the practice of keeping a baseline budget amount for the purpose of the Commission’s key activities such as awards for juried art exhibits and scholarships.
Conclusion
The purpose of this report is to provide information about funding available for the Cultural Arts Program to aid the Commission in the planning and prioritization of art projects. Staff will review all meeting materials in further detail at the Commission meeting and will be available to respond to questions.

In October 2022, the City adopted a comprehensive update of the General Plan, Zoning Code and Climate Action Plan, providing an updated vision for the city. The new General Plan identifies the
Lindenville sub-area as an important opportunity to add housing adjacent to the downtown transit-
rich core, to support a creative arts and maker community, and to continue the city’s industrial heritage. To ensure that new development proceeds in an organized and well-planned manner and includes new housing opportunities, the City Council authorized the preparation of a Lindenville Specific Plan and associated environmental analysis.
While the General Plan is a required document for each city in California, a specific plan is an optional planning and zoning tool that implements the goals and policies of the General Plan in a particular geographic area. It takes the community’s vision developed during the General Plan process and defines the detailed policies, City programs, and development standards to implement
that vision for the area. Typically, the plan addresses areas of change that need special attention and
integrated/holistic planning.
Like the General Plan, a specific plan covers a 10-15 year timeline, and includes land use guidance, design and development standards, necessary infrastructure investment, financing tools, and
implementation schedules and phasing. The City has adopted several specific plans in the past
including the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan, El Camino Real/Chestnut Avenue Area Plan, South El Camino Real Plan, BART Transit Village Plan, and private development plans, such as the Genentech Master Plan and Oyster Point Specific Plan.
The Raimi + Associates consultant team has started work on background reports and community
outreach on the vision and land use alternatives. City staff and the consultant team will provide an update on the Lindenville Specific Plan process and an overview of the following:

Staff Report
DATE: January 19, 2023
TO: Cultural Arts Commission
FROM: Kari Jung, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Cultural Activities Grant Program
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Cultural Arts Commission review the proposed guidelines for the administration of the Cultural Activities Grant Program that was established by the City Council, and
appoint a subcommittee to adjudicate the responses to award grants.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of South San Francisco is pleased to announce the return of the Cultural Activities Grant Program to support community organizations and artists who wish to offer free or low-cost events
and activities that will expose the community of South San Francisco to cultural and recreational activities and programming. For Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City has allocated $10,000 in grant funds to support this program, administered by the Parks and Recreation Department. The grant funds will help foster cultural experiences for the community, infuse neighborhoods with the arts, and increase exposure to cultural activities that will lead to a greater understanding and respect for diverse cultural
heritages.
Eligibility:
To qualify for these funds, applicants must demonstrate that they are serving the South San Francisco
community. The proposed program would require that no funds be used towards the applicant’s administrative costs and the primary use of the funds is to provide cultural activities. Typical grant awards range from $500-$2,000. Any recipient of the grant funding shall be required to enter into an agreement with the City which will detail the objectives to be achieved with the use of the funds.
Selection Committee and Criteria:
Staff recommends that the Performing Arts Subcommittee be the designated body to review applications and make a recommendation to the full Cultural Arts Commission for the selected grantees. Although performing arts are not specifically the focus of this grant, many past grant
applications involved performing arts.
Agenda Item VII.3 - Cultural Activities Grant
Staff Report
Cultural Arts Commission Date: January 19, 2023

Applications will be made available on the City website as well as at the Parks and Recreation office located at 33 Arroyo Drive in South San Francisco. Staff will screen applications to verify the eligibility criteria have been met. Once funding decisions have been
made by the subcommittee and approved by the Cultural Arts Commission, staff will contact each
organization to complete a funding agreement. Once the funding agreement has been executed, staff will release the funds to the organization. Reporting Criteria:
Organizations which have been awarded grant funding will be required to complete a detailed report within 60 days following the event to document how the funding was used and the outcomes achieved in accordance with the objectives of the funding agreement and present those achievements at a Cultural Arts Commission meeting.

Summary: In summary, this grant program is designed to support organizations or artists who wish to bring
cultural activities to the City of South San Francisco and to provide access for those who may not be
