Summary & Background
The Arts & Culture Department is recommending that the Board of Commissioners approve Corporate Temps Inc. to provide professional part-time and temporary staffing for the department’s programs and services. The Arts & Culture Department provides an array of programs and services to Fulton County residents through its Art Center, Community Partnerships, Public Art Program, and Contracts for Services Program. Designed to enhance the creative and artistic culture of the county, the department brings music, dance, theater, visual arts, and other art forms to children, teenagers, adults, and senior citizens. Through the department’s programs, nonprofits, arts organizations, schools, colleges and universities, cultural organizations, municipalities, and individual artists have been able to hone their crafts and reach more residents with their art forms. To ensure that Fulton County residents continue to receive quality services from the Arts & Culture Department, and to improve upon its current services, arts instructors with specialized art skills are needed, as well as part-time administrators and coordinators. By contracting with Corporate Temps Inc., the department will be able to meet its part-time needs and eliminate some of the challenges the department encountered while having temporary part-time staff on the County’s payroll.
Scope of Work: The Arts & Culture Department is looking to enter into a contract with Corporate Temps Inc. in expectation that the agency will provide the department with approximately 35 part-time staff members to provide services to the County’s one Art Center, Community Partnerships and Downtown Main Office.
Community Impact: With sufficient personnel to implement various arts-related classes and other programmatic and administrative services, the Arts & Culture Department will be able to effectively and efficiently provide arts services and programing to Fulton County residents
Department Recommendation: The Arts & Culture Department recommends approval of the statewide contract in order to increase its staffing in administrative and specialized arts, which are needed to implement the department’s arts programs and services
Project Implications: Without BOC approval, the Arts & Culture Department will not have sufficient staff to administer its programs. The deduction or loss of the department’s arts programs would negatively impact Fulton County residents
Community Issues/Concerns: The community has indicated a desire for the County to continue its arts-related programs. Without proper staffing, the Arts & Culture Department will not be able to provide Fulton County residents with the services they desire and deserve.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Arts & Culture Department is concerned that without the number of skilled and specialized part-time staff needed to implement its programs, the department will be unable to attain its goal of taking art to the community in large measures.
Contract Modification: This is a new request.
