Review and discussion of CAB evaluations of 2025 Arts Grant <br />Proposals <br />- Named top 5 <br />- Little bit of grant money left over <br />- Sara: the top 5 ended up being very balanced <br />- Reina: maybe we could contribute the leftover funding to the 6th <br />place applicant (One Book One Town) - Iris: could work since <br />they're looking for other funding as well <br />- JR: not averse to offering partial funding, but some applicants have <br />refused partial funding... in general the way we do funding avoids <br />getting too piecemeal, we could make an exception <br />- Sara: could be a slippery slope to start awarding partial grants <br />- Sara: anything we were on the fence about - maybe we could use <br />leftover budget to help elevate other projects <br />- JR: motion to approve the top 5, seconded, passed <br />- Reina: motion to offer some of remaining budget to One Book One <br />Town, JR: amendment, give all of it, Sara: prefer it to do to events <br />pot, John: $800 is more than you might realize - could get a lot, <br />Reina: One Book One Town is seeking funding from other sources, <br />Reina: likes that it the book is on one of our murals, it's an <br />intergenerational book club, the book is about dismantling racism <br />and demonstrating how equity benefits everyone, JR: wavering a <br />little after John's point, John: we're way below the budget from last <br />year, Sara: the structure of the grants program is valuable, <br />Mohamed: we could use potentially use the funding to improve our <br />equipment, Roger: torn, this is a good time to support diversity, but <br />we could really use that extra money, Alexander: concrete <br />examples of what we could do with the $800 helps but we don't <br />want to get sidetracked, JR changed his mind about all of the <br />leftover funding Roger seconded, we would have tied with Reina, <br />on hold for now <br />
