<br />Cultural Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />DATE <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Called SCFD about all of our money being put together. They said they did it for <br />a lot of groups. They did not specify how much should go to what. We should <br />use the same percentage as in the past. <br />A lot of our money is in- kind which creates a problem for getting grants. <br />Wendy asked Sandra who didn't think it was a problem. <br />SCFD says don't list in- kind. <br />We pay for most expenses for the Arts Center. Next year we will pay janitorial <br />also. Every line item will go down. Approximately $20,000 comes from the city. <br />That is their entire arts budget. <br />The city is looking at what to cut. Now would be the time to speak up about what <br />you want to stay. Rec center asked to come up with $150,000 in reductions. <br /> <br />In the budget is listed "City Contractual Services" - we don't know what that <br />means for sure. Kathy says that was generated by the group and doesn't come <br />from the city. It has been carryover. We need to look back at the records. <br />We are also unsure about "City Supplies and Personnel". It has something to do <br />with the SCFD grant. It may be our portion of the rent <br />Other groups use the Arts Center for free - we pay for them. <br /> <br />IT guy is setting up the email. <br /> <br />Julie - have to have schedule requests by Oct 1 - we could have until Oct 9. <br /> <br />Vacant positions - Two will be advertised again in late fall for 2007. <br /> <br />Events Schedule Update <br />No new events <br />Children's Concert - looking to reschedule. <br />Nov 18 Silent Movie <br /> <br />Meeting needs to be set up about the banner. <br /> <br />We could advertise to potential sponsors with a quarterly brochure or flyer. <br /> <br />Proposed New Louisville Arts Center <br />Wendy suggests we let the City Council know what we are up to when we meet <br />with them. We should be proactive and ask how we could work with them. The <br />work session was just for Arts Center discussion. Maybe a subcommittee could <br />work on the presentation. <br /> <br />Don believes it is all caught up in Urban Renewal. If we could get it across that it <br />won't cost money and will bring in money. We need to get across that it is an <br />asset and not a liability. <br />
