Annual Arts Organization Funding.....In October, City Council will
authorize contracts with the local arts organizations that will receive
funding through the OCA’s annual process. The contracts will then have
to be processed by the City Clerk and the City Manager and City Attorney
will have to sign them. Contracts will be sent out immediately after
that. Organizations will need to return signed contracts and any other
supporting materials that are requested before payments can be made.
