• Monroe asked for outcome measures; staff promised to follow up. Smith asked why the amount rises during a deficit; staff said it is $250,000 of percent-for-art funds set aside in 2023 for Centering Youth, an effort to create one art park per quadrant, not new general-fund money.
• Carried by voice vote.
