Utah Arts Council General Program Rules

Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation

DAR File No.: 35723
Filed: 01/24/2012 10:39:54 AM

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 9-6-205 gives the Utah Arts Council board the authority to make, amend, or repeal rules in conducting the business of the division. It also empowers them to receive gifts, bequests, property, and to provide grants and awards for competitions. It mandates the board to make policy for the Division of Arts and Museums. This rule is required in order to ensure that the division establishes standards, rules, and guidelines for funding and competitions. It also requires that the division notify the public of these opportunities.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received since the last five-year review.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The purpose of the Utah Arts Council is to advance arts and culture and to engage every person in Utah in the arts. The division's goals are to: 1) increase awareness of the public value of the arts; 2) strengthen communities by investing in local arts and cultural infrastructure; and 3) build a sustainable model of diversified funding sources. These goals will be accomplished by communicating the public value of art, providing exceptional constituent services, providing capacity building resources, cultivating strategic partnerships, and diversifying and stabilizing funding sources. These goals and objectives clearly address the mandate of the state statute. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
