(In the Spring 2013 arts grant cycle, $1,000 in County funds was awarded to an <br /> individual artist, and $824 in County funds was used to help support the Piedmont Laureate <br /> Program, a program of the Orange County Arts Commission.) <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local <br /> recipients of the awards during the February 4, 2014 meeting with the presentation of checks by <br /> the Board Chair. <br />
