Adams CRA: Nine Rails arts programming pilot with Ogden Contemporary Arts and $120,000 budget amendment
Discussed
The administration proposed an 18-month pilot agreement for Ogden Contemporary Arts to run arts programming in the Nine Rails District, paid from the Adams Community Reinvestment Area fund balance via a $120,000 budget amendment. Board members had earlier questioned using tax increment for arts programming, how other taxing entities would view it and whether the contract should be sole-sourced rather than bid through a request for proposals. Discussion covered other funding options and an RFP. Chair Richey said council leadership would decide when to bring an action item; a budget hearing was requested for October 1.
