(Liz) Board discussed meeting in sub -committee about clarity on ticket prices including possible changes and advance ticket sales. Gina, Adam and Deb agreed to meet. Goal is to get an actual proposal into the next LCC meeting packet. Summer Concerts: Adam detailed the acts performing on Thursday nights. Three of the concerts will feature a 20 -minute opener. Contracts are complete. Discussion ensued about providing meals for musicians. Suggestions included using the LCC treasury and possibly approaching a restaurant for in-kind donations. We cannot use cash donations collected during the concerts because the LCC needs to deposit and record our donated cash. Logistics for summer concerts will be a part of the May Agenda. Marketing and Communication: We will have ads for summer concerts and we should consider radio PSAs as well. Camera, Boulder Weekly, Hometown Weekly and maybe CO Daily. Katie and Blake will finalize soon. Blake and Adam will meet to discuss radio promotions. Staff Update Katie spoke about the Memory Square Park pool being renovated. The current entrance including the part attached to the Arts Center will come down and the area will be an open air with increased patio space. -- For review --
