Staff context: Cultural Arts staff said the current grant pool is $117,128 and reviewed the program’s funding categories and maximum awards: educational institutions may apply for grants of up to $3,500 per grant and up to three grants per school site; emerging arts organizations may receive up to $5,000; arts organizations applying for projects may receive up to $7,500. Staff noted those categories evolved from prior cycles to reflect program goals and the cost of projects.

Commissioner views: Several commissioners said schools often lack other sources for materials and programmatic support and argued for higher per‑grant caps for school projects. Commissioner Ferroni described examples from local schools and asked whether the commission’s intent is to fund more applicants modestly or provide larger, more impactful awards to fewer recipients. Commissioner George urged the commission to decide its priorities (for example, prioritizing arts education) before finalizing allocations. Commissioner Breyer suggested increasing school grant caps (for example to $5,000) without prescribing a fixed reallocation across categories, allowing flexibility year to year.

Process and quality concerns: Commissioners raised the quality of applications and scoring consistency. Several called for strengthening application criteria and for more in‑person or technical-assistance outreach for applicants. Staff said technical assistance workshops are already part of the program and that panelists (a diversified review panel) recommend awards; final awards are approved by the commission.

Outcome: The item was discussion-only; commissioners provided direction to staff but took no vote. Staff said they would use the feedback to refine proposals and noted an upcoming presentation from the San Diego County Office of Education on Prop 28 and arts-teacher funding.","Commissioners discussed whether to award larger grants to fewer grantees and whether to alter funding proportions between schools and arts organizations.

Commissioners framed the subcommittee’s purpose as producing a summary report of progress against the master plan’s action matrix and a recommendation on whether the next master plan should cover five years instead of the current 10-year horizon. Craddock introduced the item, noting the 2018 plan was adopted before the COVID‑19 pandemic and that staffing and other changes have affected implementation timelines.

Nominations and approval: Commissioner Nasiri nominated herself; Commissioners Breyer and Ferroni also volunteered to serve. Commissioner Carrillo was named as an alternate. Commissioner Bridal moved to create the subcommittee and to nominate Nasiri, Ferroni and Breyer with Commissioner Carrillo as alternate; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

Scope and deliverable: Commissioners described the subcommittee’s expected deliverable as a summary of the master plan’s progress to date and a recommendation to staff on how to proceed with the next planning cycle (timing and scope). Staff said the work is intended to be completed within the current fiscal year and to provide direction to staff ahead of 2028, when the existing 10‑year plan would expire.

Meeting mechanics: Commissioners discussed limits on membership to avoid a quorum (state open‑meeting constraints) and asked staff to allow alternates to serve when regular members are unavailable.

Ending: Staff will document the subcommittee membership and next steps in meeting minutes and begin scheduling subcommittee meetings.","The Carlsbad Arts Commission voted unanimously to form an Arts and Culture Master Plan Subcommittee to assess progress on the 2018 master plan and recommend whether to shorten the planning timeframe from 10 years to five; commissioners Nasiri, Ferroni and Breyer were nominated as members and Commissioner Carrillo as alternate.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668077,"Carlsbad library and cultural arts staff preview FY2025‑26 budget process; base funding unchanged",416,1957000,2373000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245580-82039e0f7439d44a4824d90a2938b0d2&start=1957&end=2373","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245580-82039e0f7439d44a4824d90a2938b0d2/thumbnail_1957000.jpg","/articles/6668077/Carlsbad/San-Diego-County/California/Carlsbad-library-and-cultural-arts-staff-preview-FY202526-budget-process-base-funding-unchanged","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668077-be804fd5830b6982ed78038ab207ff8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172839&Signature=ncOMOBiqGW1rnh7CmtDtI0MreqImERnxxtuvpfjDkkAPOdX3lJxP4~5FXrAg~1-TgC5O-L8qFlXETecbAL5VDCrcfTTWk7Aw2yrYEL5pJF1mU434iEiZgHj1-PGuZvTt-EGuppgGOSP~TTfDLK2w-G4EXwIXQflfcFeMSq67TsxT2rfZySj9AiH-vQ5lLOlucSpgDkATCxgJOIJEBu2PzI41NvKfUJizu4KMA~Hub1Q4ealisUcZ2eo0YlyLJ8ILz5zPvY0z~0Ex6qXfkQ0Keo5dpBoVDcQzy2CTdS-Hvhp9xHuWWpF9vrvOEDFPhMenrWPhLUjVZcswsPTjAgLl1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senior Management Analyst Fiona Everett gave the Arts Commission a preview of the fiscal year 2025–26 budget process on Feb. 6, outlining timeline milestones and departmental priorities.

Everett said the Cultural Arts and Library Department is preparing to submit a base budget \"the same base budget that we have in this current fiscal year,\" adding that staff may submit supplemental requests only for items deemed critical or legally mandated. \"We do need to carefully consider our asks,\" she said.

Timeline and next steps: Everett said the department will submit its budget to the city finance team the following Friday, meet with the city manager on March 20, and that the city finance department will present a preliminary budget to City Council on May 20. A community budget workshop is scheduled two days later, with a council public hearing on June 17 and budget adoption before the July 1 start of the new fiscal year.

Policy context and constraints: Everett reviewed the City Council’s strategic plan (adopted Oct. 2022) as the department’s guiding document and noted continuing fiscal pressures including slower revenue growth tied to near build-out, inflation-driven cost increases, and ongoing pension and infrastructure needs. She advised the commission that while the department expects no base increases, staff will evaluate critical needs such as utilities and contract escalations and may request targeted supplements.

Staffing and service levels: Everett told commissioners the department is nearly fully staffed for the first time since the COVID‑19 pandemic and that program activity and facility usage are returning to pre‑pandemic levels. Commissioners asked whether hours (including weekend coverage) would change; Everett said current hours will be maintained and no additional staffing for expanded hours is being requested in the budget at this time.

Partnerships: Everett noted the department’s reliance on endowments and nonprofit partners (Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation, Friends of the Arts, Friends of the Library) to fund programs and pilot projects outside the general fund when applicable.

Ending: Everett said staff will return with more detailed budget materials during the formal budget season and that she expects to brief the commission two more times before the budget is finalized.","Senior management analyst Fiona Everett presented a budget preview to the Arts Commission, saying the department expects to submit a base budget with no increase and may request limited supplemental funding for critical or legally mandated needs.

Cannon Art Gallery will open a solo exhibition by painter Frederick Hope titled “Silent Storytellers” on Feb. 7, with a soft opening scheduled for noon and a public reception on Saturday, Feb. 22, from 3 to 6 p.m., Cultural Arts staff said at the Feb. 6 Arts Commission meeting.

The exhibition, drawn from Hope’s Laguna Beach studio practice, includes large oil-on-panel paintings, oils on aluminum, and 36 graphite drawings, some with collage elements and gold leaf, Allison, cultural arts manager, told commissioners. \"We are once again delighted to be presenting to you the upcoming exhibit at the William D. Cannon gallery,\" she said.

Why it matters: the gallery team emphasized educational programming tied to the exhibit. Staff said the show will include an artist talk, open-studio sessions, an intergenerational open-studios program, and a read-only educational catalog in the gallery. The gallery will also host an Explore More school program and provide related materials for local partners, the presentation stated.

Gallery features and community engagement: staff said Hope’s work explores coastal artifacts — shells, stones and tide-pool imagery — and will be accompanied by interpretive labels written to be approachable for different ages. The gallery will maintain a dedicated book display and a response wall; there will also be specimens (shells and stones), sketching materials, and a table with seats for visitor responses. Allison said the artist has prepared educational labels and sketches to illustrate artistic process and technique.

School and library partnerships: staff described partnerships with the city’s Learning Center and library to incorporate written prompts and programs for children, including plans to replicate a baby-lap-sit pilot in the gallery. Commissioners asked about accessibility of labels and whether there would be child-focused materials; Allison said labels are designed to be approachable and that the artist’s own commentary is intended to be widely accessible.

Artist presence and schedule: staff said Hope is expected to attend the reception and will present an artist talk in March and hold open studios in April; specific dates will be announced at the reception and in printed bookmarks distributed at city library locations. The exhibit runs Feb. 7–June 28.

Donations and collections support: staff invited donations of authentic shells or stones to use as sketching specimens in the gallery. Staff also acknowledged the work of the curatorial assistant, Christy Bivich, in mounting the show.

Looking ahead: the gallery team said they plan to expand programming tied to future exhibits as new staff join the department and to continue integrating the gallery with citywide learning programs.

Ending: reception details and future artist-event dates will be published via the city’s gallery materials and at the reception; staff said exhibit-related educational offerings will continue during the exhibition run.","The Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office will open \"Silent Storytellers,\" a solo exhibition by painter Frederick Hope, on Feb. 7 at the William D.
