Capital Arts Budget Control level by Seattle City Council Green Sheet 60 81b1 Committee recommends the bill pass. Cast Member Herbold Thank you. Council Bill 11 9037 releases $1.3 million in funds that was approved in last year's adopted budget. It approves funding agreements for projects including Town Hall, the Nordic Heritage Museum, the Burke Museum and Hugo House. The first four are to release funds for 350,000 and Hugo House for 250,000. The legislation itself includes agreements with each of these organizations for public benefits. Town Hall will provide its entire arts and culture series free of charge to those under age 22 and conduct specific outreach to make marginalized communities aware of the free tickets and actively invite communities to events, as well as work with the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs on Outreach. The Nordic Heritage Museum will implement a new low cost membership category for low income families, and they will also work to spread the membership model by promoting it among a National Association of museums that that recipients of the low, low income membership here in Seattle will be able to use it and in other jurisdictions across the country. The Burke Museum will provide all students participating in on site school programs with an adult and youth admission pass. And the Hugo House will provide free or reduced field trip admissions to schools, with the majority of low income students and free weekly drop ins to writing circles in rent classrooms for free to organizations serving low income communities and communities of color, and up to 150 free tickets to fee based events.
