Subject:EXTERNAL - Item #11.1 Future Council Initiated Agenda Items Adopt a Resolution Proclaiming April
Date:Monday, March 18, 2024 2:33:49 PM
Mayor and Council Members,
I am in support of adopting a resolution proclaiming the month of April as “Arts, Culture, &
Creativity Month”.
This will highlight your City Council goals (Develop a Financially Resilient Organization that
Relies on Local Revenues and Resources & Promote Economic Development Activities that
Create Opportunities for Quality Employment and Increase the City's Tax Base), and shared
goals of the Gilroy Art’s & Culture Commission, Gilroy Arts Roundtable, and SV Creates. It will
show the region that we recognize the crucial role of arts, culture, and creativity in the lives of
everyone. While recognizing that the arts and creativity support student success and lifelong
learning, provide key job skills, and bring joy to our community while strengthening our
connections. I ask for your support.
