BACKGROUND: The Fayetteville Arts and Culture Plan, adopted in January 2025 called for the City to “revisit the role and responsibilities of the Arts Council,” and "to consider liaisons to other city boards and commissions" (Goal 5.6c). The Fayetteville Arts Council appointed a subcommittee in February to discuss this and other policy recommendations, which that group brought forth for discussion at a public meeting. At its April 2025 meeting, the Fayetteville Arts Council voted to expand its membership from nine to ten to include a designated seat for the Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs Advisory Board. This decision was made in recognition of the increasing intersection between public art, cultural programming, and park spaces across Fayetteville. DISCUSSION: This additional seat will be designated for a representative from Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs Advisory Board to liaise directly with The Fayetteville Arts Council and share knowledge between the boards. This connection will strengthen interdepartmental collaboration and strategic planning for public art and cultural activities in city parks. It acknowledges the integral role the entire Parks Department plays in hosting and supporting arts-based programming and infrastructure in park settings. Formalizing this relationship directly addresses Goal 5.6c of the Fayetteville Arts and Culture Plan, and mirrors the model used by the Active Transportation Advisory Committee, which also includes a Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs Advisory Board representative as a voting member. Full ordinance changes are attached in the exhibits. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: None. Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov ATTACHMENTS: 3.
