No substantial change in the last month. Lawrence will circulate financial questions individually. Motion to Approve Agenda - Jennifer moves - Gina seconds - No opposed Art Grant Program Suzanne leads discussion • Stresses ease; basic form. • Asking for proposed dates, facility needs, budget, how much LCC covers, target market, how to measure success and evaluate programs. • Member comments generally approve of brevity. • Is there a limit on how much to ask for? • LCC matching? • Indicate total budget for applicant's event and what percentage of that budget are they looking to get? • Grants are in complement to and do not replace existing LCC events. • Applicant eligibility requirements o Takes place in Louisville o Preference for Louisville -based individuals /organizations o Support local artists (SCFD doesn't specifically do that) o Project -based (not operating) • Talk about grant application timeline and award amounts in November. 2016 SCFD Reauthorization • CATZ (Ken Smith — Citizens for Arts to Zoo) — Advocating for legislative approval for SCFD Board's recommendations. o Function is advocacy, not decision makers. Whatever SCFD Board recommends, CATZ advocates. o Disagrees with FACE on the Task Force. o Points to forecast from 2018 -2030 (pg. 15 PowerPoint). o SCFD Board /Task Force believes compromised occurred. • FACE (Susan Honstein) — Task force was dominated by Tier 1 s. There was no consensus from a sufficient number of other proposals. o Task Force didn't look at the 20 -30 -50 proposal. o Want something that will pass. o Region has changed in 25 years that SCFD has been in effect. Funding stream needs to change dramatically. o Support now is unsustainable. Denver is overrepresented. Make funding match changes in demographics in Colorado. • CATZ: Task force was not disproportionate. • FACE: Not enough satisfaction in community for what task force produced. Suburban CO wants another look and we have that opportunity now.
