Chair Williams asks about interagency coordination plan and cultural infrastructure
Chair asks if the charter-mandated interagency coordination plan exists; Vij points to Create in Place and a monthly interagency task force, but Chair says the plan sounds more comprehensive and Vij concedes it is fair to say DCLA does not have it.
Okay, just a few more questions.
So the charter calls for an interagency coordination plan.
Was that plan created?
Is it written?
Are you able to share it?
I believe that the response to that plan was really can be found in Create in Place, this newish program that was launched in 2024 that
specifically responds to cultural organizations of all sizes, particularly very small ones that are at risk of losing.
their space.
And there is a really large interagency task force that meets monthly around issues of space, real estate, and cultural access.
And I'm happy to share more information about that.
Yeah, I think, I mean, I don't have like the charter language in front of me, but I think it was more comprehensive than like
a create in place program.
It was more so around like how do you embed cultural arts within all the various city agencies.
So yeah, DCLA was supposed to create a interagency coordination plan around that.
So I don't, sounds like maybe you don't have it.
Is that fair to say?
I think that's fair to say.
