Administration will recommend that the County appoint a member to that Board when it has been established - much as has been done with the EDC. • The 501c3 nonprofit has been re-established. • Bylaws for the SLCA board have been drafted. • Regular "board" meetings have been convened. • An office for the SLCA has been established in the County Administration building. The search for a new staff member has been undertaken and onboarding of the individual will occur once selected. • An Arts in Public Places subcommittee has been established, meetings held and a draft revision to the AIPP ordinance is awaiting placement on an upcoming BOCC agenda for consideration. o The revised ordinance is not a wholesale change but rather broadens the AIPP offerings, establishes a Public Arts Advisory Committee, adds language to the Annual Plan section, strikes some language in the construction art fund aside section, strikes the 24-month suspension language and strikes language that transfer left over funds to the General Fund. • Held two open houses/meet-and-greets to debut the beta website, generate interest and initial free memberships along with updating stakeholders on SLCA activities and initiatives. • Developed a "beta" website. The website is emerging from the testing format and is meant to demonstrate local artists how the final product will look and operate. The site is nearly fully functional. • Developed a robust social media presence via email, Twitter and Facebook. • Begun building various partnerships with staffs from the two cities along with Mayor Oravec and City Manager, Nick Mimms, School District, IRSC, Tourism, the Oxbow, Fort Pierce Blues and Jazz Society, Representative Larry Lee's Restore the Village, to name several. There is an updated proposal detailing the step-by-step list of service to be continued or newly provided as part of the second phase of the work program. Funds are to be available in the fiscal year 2018/2019 budget for the purpose of continuing the reestablishment of the LAA.
