Check out some other events calendars we post on: Keep it on Campus Performing, Arts Li � c E Arts can boost e lgpn nt in Cali ®rnla i` O By Joe Mathews Does California need to go Rogue? I'm not talking about seces- sion or Sarah Palin but about what may be the most impor- tant California arts event most Californians have never heard of Fresno's Rogue Festival. Founded in a local artist's back- yard, the independent festival brings thousands of people from around the world to Fresno the first two weekends of March for hundreds of performances in dif- ferent venues. It is a so- called "fringe" event because it takes all comers — from foreign pros to local ama= teurs to, well, rogues — in the- ater, music, dance, and film. But what was once rogue feels today like a possible model for the state. California has big problems in employment (partic- ularly in Fresno and other inland areas), education, and civic en- gagement. And people are look- ing to the arts for solutions. That's why, at a major legisla- tive hearing on the arts last week in Sacramento, ,here was little in the way of enchanting paint- ings — and a lot of hard num- bers. Thanks to a definition of the "creative economy" broad enough to include people who make chairs, the figures, drawn from a new report from Otis Col- lege of Art and Design, included 681,400 creative jobs in Califor- nia pulling down an above -aver- age average salary of $90,130; Elf over 260,000 similarly high -pay- ing freelancer and contractor gigs; and $155 billion in economic impact. All this can sound to the skep- tical ear like so much arts lobby propaganda - until you look at a map of the state. It turns out that the regions where spending on and participation in the arts are lowest — the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California's Inland Empire — are the very same regions where the economy is weakest. (And vice versa — the Bav Area boasts the strongest economy and highest arts partic- ipation.) Yes, of course, places with wealth often have more happen- ing in the way of arts. But the connections between arts and the economy run deep enough to make you wonder if this is a two - way street. Eric Metzger of Intel told the Legislature that the cre- ative skill set fostered by arts ed- ucation is crucial for design -ori- ented technical professions like engineering and computer sci- ence. The arts are a big eco- nomic draw — for retail invest- ment in neighborhoods (that's why we have so many arts dis- tricts) and for cities that need to attract college graduates and professionals. Arts investments make espe- cially good sense in California for another reason: The arts are a strength of ours. Surveys show we Californians are more likely to participate in arts and cul- tural events than people in other parts of the country. (We're es- pecially fond of salsa dance, jazz concerts, plays, art galleries and museums). But as in so many ar- eas where our state has led — in higher education, in Hollywood production, in aerospace engi- neering -- we've failed to exploit our advantages. Why? Because we're cheap. We've gutted funding for the arts in schools, and California arts funding ranks near the bot- tom of American states. This makes little sense because arts as a method of public investment is relatively cheap, particularly when compared to, say, a $67 bil- lion high -speed rail project. Fresno's arts - oriented resi- dents have made miracles with limited resources: a terrific Ar- tHop, a Rotary Club that is de- voted to the arts, and the Rogue Festival, perhaps the best exam- ple of the surprise and serendip- ity that the arts can give us. The town is transformed by the Rogue's thousands of visi- tors, many of whom are taken in by local families for the festval's two -week duration. Audience members buy tickets to a vari- ety of shows without knowing ex- actly what they're in for. They might end up at a one -woman comedy about a writer's demons, or an interactive multimedia pre- sentation by a juggler- unicy- clist. When something works, it's magic.

The purpose of the program is to encourage preservation and restoration of historic properties in the City. The Mills Act is a state law designed to provide financial incentives for property owners that restore and maintain historic residential and commercial properties. Because the Mills Act contract requires the property to be assessed using a different assessment methodology, it results in a reduction in property taxes paid by the property owner. According to Resolution 2005 -363, in order to be considered for a Preservation Agreement your property must be identified in the San Bernardino Historic Resources Reconnaissance Survey, Volume 2 — Tabular List of All Surveyed Historic Resources, dated April 30, 1991. Generally speaking, all structures built before 1942 are included on this list. The City of San Bernardino will enter into a maximum of ten- (10) Mills Act preservation Agreements per year. Applications will be accepted during the month of October; incomplete applications will not be considered. The ten- (10) agreements will be randomly selected from the complete and eligible applications received. A $200.00 application fee is due upon submittal of the application to the Community Development Department as well as an additional $75.00 annual administration fee due each October. A ten year rehabilitation plan is required as part of the application. Upon selection of your application, your property will be subject to an initial inspection by the City of San Bernardino staff to assist you in finalizing the rehabilitation plan and to photo document the current condition of the property. A Preservation Agreement will be drafted and then must be approved by the Mayor and Council. Each year, you will be required to submit annual reports on completed project (s), along with copies of receipts and building permits where applicable, in order to document that your estimated property tax savings has been expended on your property's projects each year. You will also be required to submit a copy of your secured property tax bill to demonstrate your properties annual tax savings per year. City staff will conduct periodic property inspections to ensure that proposed work has been completed and meets all applicable city standards. This packet is designed to assist you in completing the Mills Act Applications process. If you have any questions please contact the Community Development Department at 909 - 384 -7276. Mills Act Fact Sheet The Mills Act, a state law enacted in 1972, is a self - directed, economic incentive program for owners of historic buildings that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places or on a state, county or city official register. It is the single most important economic incentive program available in California for private property owners of qualified historic buildings. A Mills Act program must be developed according to two California State Codes: California Government Code, Article 12, Sections 50280 -80290 and California Revenue and taxation Code, Article 1.9, Sections 439 - 439.4. • Under the program, property owners receive a significant reduction in local property taxes in exchange for their promise to actively participate in restoring, rehabilitating, repairing and preserving their properties. Participants enter into an initial 10 -year contract with the City. • Contracts are automatically renewed each year and are transferred to new owners when the property is sold. • City, county or state officials may periodically inspect properties to ensure proper maintenance. • Penalties may be imposed for breach of contract or failure to maintain the historic property. If a contract is canceled under Section 50284, the owner shall pay a cancellation fee equal to 12 '/z percent of the current fair market value of the property, as determined by the county assessor as though the property were free of the contractual restriction. • The county assessor's office re- assesses property tax based on a capitalization of income formula rather than on Market value. Mills Act participants may realize a property tax savings of approximately 50% each year depending on property value, net operating income and other variables. 2 ii t "I i Mills Act Application Checklist To apply for participation in the Mills Act Program, please submit the following: ❑ Completed Application Form ❑ Completed Ten -Year Plan for Property Improvement: The cost of each years projects should equal or exceed 50% of your last property tax bill.
