Dear Mr. Chavez,
The Cultural Arts Grant Review Committee for the City of Lubbock's Cultural Grants Program
has determined its recommendations for the first granting cycle of 2013. This recommendation
was presented to the entire Civic Lubbock, Inc. Board of Directors on June 24, 2013 and was
approved as recommended. All applicants recommended for grant awards are in good standing
with the City of Lubbock and Civic Lubbock, Inc.
The Hotel Occupancy Tax allocated for the 2013 Cultural Arts Grant Program provided for
$304,637.00 to be granted over two granting cycles. In addition, interest earned in the amount of
$1,088.03 and carryover funds in the amount of $ .28 from the 2012 Cultural Arts Grant Program
is available for the 2013 program, making the amount designated for the 2013 Cultural Arts
Grant Program a total of $305,725.31. The Board of Directors elected to absorb all expenses
related to administering the program, therefore no administrative expenses will be deducted and
the entire allocation will be available for the 2013 Cultural Arts Grant Program.
The Cultural Arts Grant Review Committee is comprised of five members; three Civic Lubbock,
Inc. Directors assigned by Civic Lubbock, Inc. and two members -at -large appointed by the City
Council. They are as follows:
Dr. Donald Haragan, CLI Board of Directors and Chair of the Grant Review Committee
Louis Kelley, CLI Board of Directors

In reviewing requests and developing funding recommendations for each application, the
Cultural Arts Grants Review Committee followed the approved Cultural Arts Grant Guidelines
and Procedures. A Grant Workshop was held on April 29, 2013 for organizations wishing to
apply for a Cultural Arts Grant. Included among the workshop presenters were representatives
from the Lubbock Hotel -Motel Association and Visit Lubbock (the Lubbock Convention and
Visitors Bureau).
Accompanying this document are the results of the Cultural Arts Grant Review Committee
meeting held on June 12, 2013. Fifteen (15) applications were received for this first grant (June
2013) funding cycle. All fifteen (15) applications are recommended for partial funding. The total
amount of funding requested for this grant cycle was $216,695.00 of which $158,200.00 is
recommended for funding from the City of Lubbock Cultural Arts Grant Program. Of the fifteen
grant awards recommended, three of the grant awards cover an entire season (or year) of events.
Those organizations chose to submit one application for an entire season rather than submit an
application for each of the two granting cycles. With that in mind, the Committee recommended
an amount that is approximately 52% of the Hotel Occupancy Tax and interest allocated for the
2013 Cultural Arts Grant Program.
The Civic Lubbock, Inc. Board of Directors requests that the City Council consider approval of
the Cultural Arts Grant allocations in the amount of $158,200.00 as recommended by the
Cultural Arts Grant Review Committee and approved by the Civic Lubbock, Inc Board.
Sincerely,
)V7�

Agenda Comments for July 11, 2013 City Council Meeting
DEPARTMENT:
Civic Services
Agenda Item
Consider a resolution approving the recommendation from the Cultural Arts
Grant Review Committee and the Civic Lubbock, Inc. Board of Directors for the
first of two granting periods for the 2013 Cultural Arts Grant Program using
Hotel Occupancy Tax funds allocated for 2012/2013.
Item Summary:
On September 21, 2005 the Lubbock City Council approved an agreement with
Civic Lubbock, Inc. which authorized Civic Lubbock, Inc. to administer the City
of Lubbock's Cultural Arts Grant program which is funded through an allocation
of the Hotel Occupancy Tax. The funds for the Cultural Arts Grant Program are
to be used in making grant awards to local non-profit organizations for the
encouragement, promotion, improvement, and application of the arts and the
promotion of tourism in the Lubbock community. The funds paid to Civic
Lubbock, Inc. for the 2013 Cultural Arts Grant Program was $304,637.00 and
represents 5.92120% of the hotel/motel tax budgeted for FY 2012/2013. In
addition, interest earned on prior year funds was $1,088.03 and $ .28 was carried
over from the 2012 funds making a total of $305,725.31 available for the 2013
Cultural Arts Grant Program. Civic Lubbock, Inc. elected to absorb any
administrative expense in administering this program; therefore the entire
allocation of $305,725.31 will be available for the two granting periods in 2013.
In reviewing requests and developing funding recommendations for Cycle 1 of
the Grant Program, the Cultural Arts Grants Review Committee followed the
Cultural Arts Grant Guidelines. A Grant Workshop was held on April 29, 2013
for all organizations wishing to apply for a Cultural Arts Grant. Included among
the workshop presenters were representatives from Lubbock Hotel -Motel
Association and Visit Lubbock - Lubbock Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Fifteen applications were received by the May 31, 2013 deadline. After a
thorough review and evaluation of the applications by the Cultural Arts Grant
Review Committee, fifteen were recommended for partial funding. Three of the
grant awards for this cycle cover an entire season. Those organizations chose to
submit funding requests for their entire season rather than submit applications
for each of the two funding cycles.
The Cultural Arts Grant Review Committee, comprised of appointments by City
Council and representatives of the Civic Lubbock, Inc. Board of Directors,
submitted their recommendations to the full Civic Lubbock, Inc. Board at their
June 24t1' meeting. These recommendations are now being presented to City
Council for approval.
The Cultural Arts Grant Review Committee and the Civic Lubbock, Inc. Board of
Directors are requesting City Council approval of $158,200.00 in grant awards for
the first granting period of the 2013 Cultural Arts Grant Program. The amount
recommended is 51.8% of the Hotel Occupancy Tax and earned interest allocated
for both granting cycles.
All applicants recommended for grant awards are in good standing with the City
of Lubbock and Civic Lubbock, Inc.
Enclosed in your agenda backup is a listing of the recommendations and
comments from the Cultural Arts Grants Review Committee.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact anticipated.
Staff Submitting/Recommendation
The Cultural Arts Grant Review Committee and the Civic Lubbock, Inc. Board of
Directors recommend approval.
