i <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: November 6, 2002 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. <br /> SUBJECT: North Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Grants <br /> DEPARTMENT: Arts Commission PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Copy of Awards to be Distributed Martha Shannon, Arts Coordinator, ext. <br /> "Specific Attendee List to Follow" 2335 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 336-227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To present checks to local artists and arts organizations receiving 2002 North <br /> Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Grants. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Orange County Arts Commission, as an approved Designated County <br /> Partner (DCP), sub grants Grassroots Grants to local arts organizations from funding provided <br /> by the North Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Arts Program. Funds are distributed for arts <br /> programming that reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the County. Each organization <br /> receiving a Grassroots Grant matches the grant amount with local dollars in order to receive an <br /> award. <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 6, 2002 meeting with the presentation of checks <br /> by the Board Chair Barry Jacobs. <br />
