Advisory Body and Commission Members shall not take advantage of services or opportunities for personal gain, by virtue of their public office, which are not available to the public in general.

These laws are complex and fact dependent. Advisory Board Members should notify the City Manager if they have a question about the conflict- of-interest rules or should consult with the Fair Political Practices Commission for guidance in advance. Art and City Cultureof Paso Board Robles Agenda July 22, 2026 Page 8 of 8008 Adopted 03/03/2026 Page 14 of 37 Art and Culture Board Agenda Report From: Wyatt Lund, Recreation Program Coordinator Subject: Establish Art and Culture Board Goals for FY 2026-2027 Date: July 22, 2026 Facts 1. Every two years, the City Council adopts goals and objectives that guide City staff's work for the upcoming two-year budget cycle. 2. The City Council recently adopted the Fiscal Years (FY) 2026-27 and 2027-28 Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets, which establish six high-level goal areas: facilities, transportation and infrastructure; public safety; housing and homelessness; cultural, recreational and open space amenities; community and economic development; and efficient and effective governance. 3. On February 17 of 2026, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1166 which established Chapter 3.21 of the municipal Code: Visual Art in Public Places. This ordinance outlines the authority of the Arts and Culture Board (ACB) and requires staff to administer guidelines, rules, policies, regulations, forms and procedures deemed necessary to implement the program, subject to City Council approval. 4. The ACB resides within the Community Services Department (CSD). Customarily, Advisory Bodies that reside within CSD review City Council's goals and objectives at their first regularly scheduled meeting of the fiscal year. From this assessment, the Board develops and adopts its proposed goals for the year. 5. Once goals are adopted, subcommittees may be established to help move the goals forward at the discretion of the ACB. Options 1. Take no action; 2. Adopt the goals as recommended by staff for FY 2026-27 and assign subcommittees as appropriate; 3. Provide alternative direction to staff. Analysis and Conclusions Consistent with the customary practice of already established CSD Advisory Bodies, staff recommends the ACB establish annual goals to guide its work for the upcoming fiscal year. To develop these goals, advisory bodies typically review the City Council's adopted goals and objectives, and any other relevant City initiatives, and then identify where the Board's work can most directly advance those broader priorities. This year's goal-setting comes at a pivotal moment for the Board. On February 17, 2026, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1166, reinstating and amending Chapter 3.21 of the Municipal Code to establish the Visual Art in Public Places Program. Section 3.21.080(B) of the ordinance defines the Board's specific Art and Culture Board Agenda July 22, 2026 Page 15 of 37 authorities under the program, including preparing an annual Public Art Plan, making final decisions on artist and artwork selection, advising on maintenance and funding priorities, recommending acceptance and deaccessioning of works, recommending placement of works, and promoting public awareness of the program. Because these authorities are newly established, FY 2026-27 represents a foundational year in which the Board's early goals will shape how it exercises this authority going forward. Staff has reviewed the City Council's six adopted goal areas together with the Board's authority under Section 3.21.080(B) of the Municipal Code, and identified three proposed goals where the ACB's work is best positioned to make an impact. Goal 1. Provide input and feedback on policies and procedures for the administration of the Visual Art in Public Places Program, including artist selection criteria, procurement procedures, maintenance standards, and placement protocols. Goal 2. Establish a two-year workplan for the ACB, considering budget allotment, current installation timelines and alignment with City Council goals. Goal 3. Participate in the Recreation Services Master Plan and Library Master Plan process, representing the ACB and providing specialized input as needed. Taken together, these three goals position the Board to responsibly and effectively exercise its new authority under Ordinance No. 1166, establish a clear and financially grounded plan for its work over the two-year budget cycle, and ensure public art considerations are represented in concurrent citywide planning efforts. Staff recommends the Board adopt these goals and assign subcommittees as appropriate to advance them throughout the year. Recommendation (Option 2) Adopt the goals as recommended by staff for FY 2026-27 and assign subcommittees as appropriate. Attachments 1.

With the adoption of Municipal Code Chapter 3.21 in 2005, the City created the Public Art Fund, requiring eligible capital projects to set aside 1% for public art, and assigned review authority to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (PRAC); and WHEREAS, the last Art in Public Places expenditure occurred in 2009, when $4,000 was used to purchase art display panels. Public Art Fund contributions were suspended during the Great Recession, and 2018 amendments formally placed the ordinance on hold, rendering the program inactive; and WHEREAS, since 2012, limited projects have moved forward, and the Public Art Fund balance remains small, $700 as of FY 2025. Several recent artist funded installations, including the Norma’s Way archway (2019) and two temporary sculptures (2024), required unique processing due to the absence of a formalized program; and WHEREAS, public art is a major contributor to Paso Robles’ cultural, social, and economic vitality. According to the 2025 San Luis Obispo County Economic Impact of the Arts & Culture Sector Report, the Arts & Culture sector draws approximately 630,000 visitors to Paso Robles annually, supporting $70.2 million in visitor spending and enriching overall quality of life. Public art enhances community identity, supports local artists, increases tourism, reduces blight, and helps activate public spaces; and WHEREAS, the City’s 5-Year Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP 2024–2029) identifies placemaking, downtown revitalization, gateway enhancement, branding, and infrastructure improvements as core economic development priorities. The EDSP specifically calls for a Downtown Placemaking Pilot Project, activation of public spaces, and strategic investments that improve “livability,” visitor experience, and business attraction. Public art is one of the most cost-effective and visible tools for achieving these objectives, strengthening both tourism and long-term economic competitiveness; and WHEREAS, to effectively administer the reinstated program, the City Council finds it necessary to establish an Arts and Culture Board to provide expert guidance, ensure community input, and align public art initiatives with City goals; and WHEREAS, reinstating and amending Chapter 3.21 will provide a structured, sustainable framework for funding, acquiring, and maintaining public art, funded through tourism-related revenues to maximize economic benefits without burdening general funds. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Recitals.

Art and Culture Board Agenda July 22, 2026 Paso Robles City Council Adopted Goals Page 35 of 37 Fiscal Years 2022-2024 14 Art and Culture Board Agenda Report From: Wyatt Lund, Recreation Program Coordinator Subject: Establish Art and Culture Board Meeting Schedule for FY 2026-27 Date: July 22, 2026 Facts 1. The Art and Culture Board (ACB) is a new advisory body and therefore does not have an established schedule for meetings. 2. The official bylaws for the ACB state that the Board will hold regular, quarterly meetings on a recurring date, time and place. 3. The ACB Bylaws also state that Special Meetings can be held upon the call of the Chairperson or Secretary, or by vote of the Board at a regular meeting. Community Outreach None. Options 1. Take no action; 2. Establish a schedule for regular meetings on a quarterly basis, and schedule two special meetings between now and the next regularly scheduled meeting to establish the Board’s foundation; 3. Provide alternative direction to staff. Analysis and Conclusions The Art and Culture Board is a new advisory body, established in 2026, and therefore does not have an established schedule for meetings. Per the Board's bylaws, regular meetings are to be held quarterly on a recurring date, time, and location. Advisory Boards can hold “special” meetings as needed. The meetings can be scheduled upon the call of the Chairperson or Secretary, or by a vote of the Board during a regular meeting. After reviewing the City’s ongoing meeting calendar, staff recommends regularly scheduled meetings to take place on the fourth Tuesday in July, October, January, and April at 3:00pm at Centennial Park.
