Title
Options for Full Regional and Sub-Regional Performing Arts Facilities Services
Recommendation
[At the November 6, 2024 Performing Arts Facilities Select Committee meeting, the recommendation was amended to include a mix of regional and sub-regional models with each option and the potential to report back sooner.]
The Performing Arts Facilities Select Committee recommends to the CRD Board:
1. That staff initiate an RFP to engage a consultant for the purposes of undertaking a cost-benefit analysis of the five proposed service options, with the freedom to recommend a mix of regional and sub-regional models within each option, in terms of their sustainability and direct value proposition to each participating jurisdiction and to the region as a whole.
2. That the resulting report from this analysis be presented to the CRD Performing Arts Facilities Select Committee in the first half of 2025 or sooner with recommendations on next steps.
