Funds are distributed for arts programming <br />that reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the county. Each grant recipient must match the <br />grant amount with state dollars in order to receive funding. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact on Orange County, as this action represents <br />a pass-through of state funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local <br />recipients of the awards during the November 2, 2005 meeting with the presentation of checks <br />by the Board Chair Moses Carey. <br />
