Budget Question # 77: What is the purpose of the $200k Arts Study being funded by ARPA funds on page 12.63? (Councilman McPike)
Response : The City Manager’s FY 2023 proposed budget recommended the allocation of $200,000 of ARPA funding to support the study and planning of the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s revitalization efforts. Staff have since confirmed that these funding needs are covered in the proposed FY 2023-FY 2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). In the Summary of FY 2023 Budget Add/Delete Proposals memorandum, a City Council addition for the Metro Stage Contingency proposed providing $200,000 in contingency funding for a potential donation to support Metro Stage construction. This item would be funded by deleting the $200,000 Arts Study ARPA allocation recommended in the City Manager’s FY 2023 proposed budget since funding for this project is no longer required.
