Goals, Strategies, and Performance Measures
The goals, strategies and performance measures were
developed for implementation between 2004 and 2009. The
2008 updated and amended plan will address the years of
2008 through 2012.
All goals and strategies assume that the Oregon Cultural
Trust will make funds available to the Umatilla County Cultural
Coalition for re-granting to qualified projects. The Plan's goals
and benchmarks will be reviewed on an annual basis and
updated as needed, based upon community needs and
available dollars.
During the review of the Plan in 2008, it was determined that
these Goals are still valid, but grant requests have not been
received in all of the Goal areas. In Goals two through five, as
part of the Quantitative Benchmark, numbers of projects to be
funded are identified. The reality discovered is that we do not
have control over the requests and to more accurately reflect
granting practice the numeric benchmarks were removed.
Concern has also been raised regarding the large rural
nature of Umatilla County and wanting to ensure that all parts
of Umatilla County are served. While none of the Goals
specifically identify or discuss regional diversity of the grant
process the Umatilla County Cultural Coalition members have
strived to assure a geographic distribution of funds. At this
time, no Goals are being changed to reflect this process, but
by incorporating this desire into the Plan we hope to make
that an integral part of the granting process.
[Note: For the purposes of this Plan, the term "arts" refers to
multi-disciplinary arts, including but not limited to visual,
performing, music, writing, etc.]
