Fiscal Note
The Resolution proposes an RFP process to determine a consultant that might best help develop a City of Madison Cultural Plan. The City's Arts Coordinator has estimated that development of the plan might cost an estimated $75,000 to $90,000, with $65,000 for the consultant to be funded with City funds, and the remainder for process and implementation to be derived from private contributions. Funding of the City share is available within the Municipal Art Fund, as authorized in the PCED adopted 2008 capital budget (project #24, Fund No. 810427).
