Summary
The Measure P Position Authorization Resolution for the City of Fresno outlines an amendment to the number of positions permitted within the Parks, Recreation and Arts Department (PARCS) for the fiscal year. Following the termination of a contract with the Fresno Arts Council, PARCS will now manage the Expanded Access to Arts and Culture grant program, necessitating additional staffing. The resolution proposes the creation of three new positions: a Project Liaison/Program Administrator, a Community Outreach Specialist, and a Community Coordinator, increasing the department's authorized positions from 164 to 167. This change is crucial for effective program administration and enhances the city's capacity to promote arts and culture access.
