Description

Effective April 12, 1995, the County Council enacted legislation providing for the creation of a Public Arts Trust. The purpose of this program is to incorporate art into public facilities and sponsor privately-funded temporary or permanent displays of art on public property. As written, the Montgomery County' County Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) administers the trust in consultation with the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County (AHCMC), Montgomery County Public Schools, Montgomery College, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. The request for County funds for this project will be determined annually. The guidelines state that the annual request for the next fiscal year will be 0.05 percent of the total approved programmed capital expenditures for the current year Capital Improvements Program of the County Government, Public Schools, Montgomery College, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Each year, the County Council should consider appropriating this amount but may appropriate any amount.

Fiscal Note

FY22 supplemental in Current Revenue: General for the amount of $109,000. FY21 funding updated to reflect Resolution 19-592 that added an additional $218,000 in appropriation to FY21. Due to fiscal constraints, FY21 was reduced by $109,000 which is half of the approved FY21 Council supplemental increase. $50,000 FY18 Special Appropriation approved by Council in July 2017. The Public Arts Trust is implemented through the Department of Recreation via an outside contract with the AHCMC.
