PolicyConsiderations
Policy Considerations: In addition to requirements outlined in aforementioned Chapter 17 of the Council Rules of Procedure, the production of an Annual Report is also in alignment with City Code section 2.84.040(H) which states one of the Commission’s powers and duties is to “develop an awareness of the needs of artists and the community and regularly update and evaluate progress against the Creative Edge Plan” and to submit an annual written report to City Council about such progress.
2025 activities and proposed activities within the included 2026 ACCEC Workplan align with Creative Edge: Arts, Culture and Creative Economy Plan, which was adopted by City Council on July 3, 2018, and serves as the guiding policy framework for the Office of Arts and Culture.
ACCEC serves, in part, to support and advance six goals identified within Creative Edge, intended to fulfill the Sacramento community’s vision for its arts, cultural and creative future.
This item addresses all six (6) Creative Edge goals:
Goal 1: Provide arts education to all Sacramento’s children and youth; Goal 2: Advance cultural equity for all Sacramento’s diverse populations; Goal 3: Build upon and expand Sacramento’s unique creative economy; Goal 4: Enable Sacramento artists and creatives to thrive in their work and to provide creative leadership in the community; Goal 5: Celebrate and infuse all Sacramento neighborhoods and districts with arts and culture; and Goal 6: Expand and solidify Sacramento’s investment in arts and culture.
This item also proposes the following five (5) 2026 ACCEC Workplan goals:
Goal 1: Achieve greater clarity around ACCEC’s purpose and role within the City of Sacramento government; Goal 2: Enhance community awareness and understanding of ACCEC as a supportive, accessible resource dedicated to arts and culture; Goal 3: Advocate for City of Sacramento policies and initiatives that value, support, and build the arts and cultural community and ecosystem; Goal 4: Collaborate with the Office of Arts and Culture to address a variety of infrastructure needs required to sustain a thriving and sustainable arts ecosystem; Goal 5: Work with the Office of Arts and Culture to review the impact of the Creative Edge Plan and develop plans for next-stage planning.

EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations: None, as the recommendations in this report do not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as they involve government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, as contemplated by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §15000 et seq.), and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
