K. raised the question of how to use money from events that actually make a <br />profit. Should we have more events? Don A. suggested we bank the money for <br />next year since we will only get a 25% return on this year's expenses from <br />SCFD. The question was also raised as to whether we should charge admission <br />to sponsored events. Jim P. pointed out that SCFD funding is proportional to the <br />previous year's expenses. The relative merits of banking money vs. "giving it <br />away" were discussed. Don A. felt that admission should not be charged at <br />sponsored events, at least if the sponsor covers all the expenses. Several <br />members felt that this was especially true for children's events with donors. <br />Mayan made the motion that all events at the Arts Center charge admission, <br />unless sponsors underwriting an event explicitly request otherwise. Jim P. <br />thought no motion was really needed-"just education". Frost pointed out that we <br />couldn't vote on a motion that wasn't previously on the agenda. Julie K. then <br />reminded everyone that when agenda items are solicited, that should include <br />anything that might come up for a vote. Maryan raised the issue of how we count <br />volunteer time in view of event expenses. Don A. thought the issue was <br />ambiguous, and suggested it be put on the July agenda. Don and Jim were <br />going to look into the SCFD definitions of "in kind" and "under-served population" <br />Jim P. had to leave the meeting. <br />IX. City Council Update -Frost Yarnell not present. <br />Frost pointed out that the City will be discussing budget issues at the June retreat <br />and that requests are due soon. The "drop dead" date is in September. <br />X. City Staff Update -Mandy P. <br />Mandy said that an a-mail of updates swould be sent out <br />XI. Event Schedule -Julie K./Maryan <br />Postcards have been sent out for the Summer Concert series. Maryan will work <br />with Andy on press releases for the concerts and an insert for the City Update. <br />Andy was reminded that he should get the fall series Coffee House Concerts <br />lineup together soon. <br />Maryan reported that City code forbade the hanging of banners across streets. <br />Staff thought that the City might fund a banner for the Rec Center. Should we <br />hang one at the Arts Center. Andy L. proposed that the Community Park might <br />be a better location. <br />Julie K. reported that the a-mail list was up to 650 people and said that she would <br />send out a-mails on the Mondays before the Thursday concerts. <br />
