Now scheduled for March 2023. <br />Information Item: Updates to 2023 Grant Process (JR Ketelsen/Grace Gee) <br />- COVID 19 consideration was removed. <br />- Updated eligibility requirements. <br />- LCC members will be able to apply to the grant but not be part of the judging. <br />- 2023 Application Dates - open on Dec 1 st <br />- Changes to process: 50% of grant paid up front and two 25% installments. <br />- Evaluation process as jury - Use Survey Monkey for the evaluation of the <br />artists. <br />- Should not have to contact every applicant. Grace thinks that everyone should <br />be present at the LCC meeting and the artists attend. Beth says the she asks <br />applicants if there is anything else that we did not address that you think should <br />be on the application. JR's concern is that if we need to change the questions on <br />the form he is not sure how long it takes to change it. <br />- Mark asks what if someone does not need the whole $21K of funding. <br />We agree to one application per project and we will include this in the 2024 application. It <br />won't make it into the 2023 application because of timing but that is the intent for this year as <br />well. <br />-The top 5 awardees will be granted their full request up to $2k and we do not need to specify <br />what happens to the rest of the money in the application. JR and Grace will brainstorm about <br />how to handle the excess. <br />Motion: Leah motions to accept all the changes covered in the discussion. Second: <br />Beth. No dissents. All approved. <br />13.
