Final grant report to SCFD will be due in February, so the goal is to have the LCC grant program defined before that report is prepared. Further discussion planned for the next LCC meeting. FACE — Independent lobbying group that is discussing alternatives for Tier 3 funding with SCFD. The FACE group is a coalition of 80 Tier 3 cultural organizations. Current SCFD funding is roughly 13% allocated to Tier 3. FACE is pursuing a 20% allocation for Tier 3. A possible vote for next month on LCC donating money, not city - provided funds, to support their effort. 2016 meeting days: Thursday is better for several members, Monday is better for others.
