She met with Jeff Durban to talk about the budget which has been postponed to May 3. She has met with Grace and sent her proposal to the Mayor. She explained how funds are used by the LCC and what is available. She proposed in her note to the Mayor a request of $20,000 was requested. Jeff mentioned that the May 3 meeting would cover the discussion of next year '23 budget. Essentially she noted that the current budget is all money going out and no money coming back in for the LCC to use. Fall programming is still about the same amount that we have used so far for the summer budget. - Mark: Asks if we have considered rebuilding/ redesigning the stage in the community park. Nothing as of yet but it was thought of last year. Leah thinks that this is a good thing to mention as part of the extension of the budget request. He also asks that an agenda for next week's item be: a discussion of the past budget and how it was used and how we can get back to that. He is asking that city to then recommend a strategy as to how to handle the decrease of budget. VII. Staff Report (Erica Schmitt) 5 min - a.
