<br />President's Report: Because Wendy was out of town, she provided her <br />report in writing. Her report this month dealt with the vagaries of how <br />we are financed and the SCFD grant process that she went through on <br />our behalf. Wendy has worked really hard, especially on getting us <br />the grant money that we're entitled to, but without the City's support, <br />she was unable to give a satisfactory presentation and the SCFD is <br />very unhappy with us. The "in-kind" support we get from the city is <br />not helping us with the SCFD. Karen Gerrity was all over her <br />presentation and a further meeting will be scheduled. <br /> <br />SCFD has specific criteria for Tier 3 funds, which is what we apply for <br />each year. We need to ascertain the following: <br /> <br />1. Who makes the formal determination of "in-kind?" <br />2. clarification of our standing with the City in accounting terms <br />3. formal definition of 501c3; are we a government entity? If so <br />can we also be a 501c3? <br />4. what is our support from the City? <br />5. What is our legal and financial standing? <br /> <br />New Arts Center Steering Committee: <br />Don reported that Amy Austin and Lynn Fleming are adamant that the new arts <br />center be a new venue, not a remake of an old building. The group worked very <br />well together and seem to be on the same page, at least for now. Next meeting: <br />June 11th at the Rec Center; all LCC members invited and welcome. <br /> <br />LCC Presentation to the LRC (Louisville Revitalization Committee): <br />Don and Wendy made our presentation. The LRC listened well and understand <br />that the new arts center must be downtown. Then Mayor Sisk insisted that it <br />should become part of the updated auditorium at LMS; Don Brown and Bob <br />Muckle joined him on this. A long discussion ensued during our meeting as to <br />why this is not viable (school security, access, leaving sets or shows up for 2-3 <br />weeks at a time undisturbed, etc.). Although we have repeatedly asked for a <br />BVSD member to sit on the steering committee, no one has been willing. <br /> <br />-7 ACTION ITEM: Jim Pollicita will speak with Adam Fells, LMS Principal, about <br />visitors on school campuses. <br /> <br />FUNDRAISING: <br />Kathy is getting 500 labels from the Chamber and the City to solicit funds for the <br />Concert in the Park series. A letter will go out to all Chamber members before <br />the first concert as well as everyone on our regular mailing list (800) with an <br />envelope. A letter will go out to our emaillist as well. We'll use the Rec Center's <br />bulk mail permit. We need updated stationary. <br />
