Origin
Summary
The City entered into a formal agreement with the Toronto Cultural Advisory Corporation operating as the Toronto Arts Council (TAC) in 2002. The agreement was renewed for another five year term commencing January 1, 2007 and extended twice for one-year terms until December 31, 2013. This report seeks the authority to enter into a new five-year agreement with substantially the same terms and conditions as in previous agreements. A new clause which delineates acknowledgement of the City's funding has been added to the agreement.
The proposed five-year funding agreement, being effective from January 2, 2014 to December 31, 2018, will allow for a continuing and structured link between the City and the Toronto Arts Council. It will enable planning and service delivery that offers an increased degree of stability, accountability to City Council, and sets out the City's terms and conditions. Specific requirements and deliverables from the TAC are set out in the formal agreement based on the nature of the arts and cultural services provided to the City, its residents and visitors to Toronto.
