DEPARTMENT CORRESPONDENCE
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: City Council
Thru: Mayor Lioneld Jordan
From: Karen Minkel, Strategic Planning and Internal Consulting Director Z/',
Date: February 25, 2010
Subject: Resolution to approve an in-kind match of $20,000 for a National Endowment of the Arts grant in
partnership with the University of Arkansas Community Design Center
PROPOSAL:
The award -wining University of Arkansas Community Design Center intends to submit a grant application for
the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) Artistic Excellence in Design, which is due March 11, 2010. The
grant proposal will request funds for "...three-dimensional 2030 scenario plans. that envision different but
plausible futures based on emerging environmental trends. The intention is to enable a more robust capacity for
shaping Fayetteville's future by its development market, citizenry, and government through the visualization of
long-term development possibilities that otherwise would not be considered. Each scenario will be modeled
three -dimensionally, showing relationships between existing geographic and urban fabrics, proposed public and
cultural spaces, and private development."
This project will serve as a supplementary component to the City Plan 2030 process, enabling elected and
appointed officials, members of the public and staff to visualize potential futures that can be shaped by policies
incorporated into City Plan 2030. The Community Design Center proposes a partnership with the City of
Fayetteville for the scenario planning project where the City of Fayetteville will provide a third of the one-to-
one match required of the grant in the form in in-kind services. All of the in-kind services would be provided
after January 1, 2011 and will be services that staff intend to provide already as part of the City Plan 2030
project. The services will mainly be provided by Strategic Planning and Internal Consulting staff but will also
be supplemented by work completed by the City Plan 2030 project team.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve a resolution supporting the City of Fayetteville's participation in
the NEA Artistic Excellence in Design grant in partnership with the University of Arkansas Community Design
Center through in-kind services in the amount of $20,000.
BUDGET IMPACT:
If the grant is awarded, the City of Fayetteville will provide in-kind services in the amount of $20,000 as part of
the match required for the project. These services will be performed as part of City Plan 2030 and will not
require work beyond what would have been performed as part of the City Plan 2030 project.
