MOTION, submitted by Vice Mayor Kearney, WE MOVE that City Council allocate to the Art Academy of Cincinnati $250,000 from the FY’25 Carryover Budget to support increased safety measures and infrastructure of the college. See Attachment A. The AAC is committed to community safety, accessibility, and the well-being of students in the five block radius immediately surrounding our AAC college in OTR. The college is situated at a busy intersection with high pedestrian traffic, and must prioritize safety and security, while also addressing broader community concerns and reducing local crime through proactive engagement. In addition to serving several hundred students, faculty, and staff, the AAC fosters an inclusive neighborhood by hosting events, public art projects, and collaborative initiatives that engage thousands of Cincinnati residents and tourists annually.
