The mapping project would identify city-owned artistic and cultural assets and return to the commission for approval before proceeding to the City Council. The proposed funding framework would set clearer rules for the types of art funded, award amounts, timing, locations, and artist eligibility, with projects required to support tourism under the funding rules. Financial figures will be updated after staff resolves discrepancies with Finance.
