He and John Hansen will meet to create a proposal to present to both the LAHC and the CCCT. Communication: Meeting minutes will be distributed to the other groups that use the building. The LAHC and the CCCT will each select a member to serve as liaison with the other group, with the goal of creating better communication. ' COMMENTS The. CCCT members who were present at the meeting expressed a feeling of being second-class citizens in the general policies and scheduling of the building. They would like the building contract to be between the City and the LAHC, with the LAHC functioning as an overseeing agency that would ensure that all local arts groups have equal access and decision-making power regarding the building. There was much heated discussion during this meeting. However, the general consensus was that the LAHC and the CCCT need to leave grievances and personal accusations in the past and move forward. ' The establishment of the Advisory Board, the selection of official liaisons between the groups, and a written scheduling policy are all steps toward improving communication and avoiding misunder- standings. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 11: 30 P.M. 1 1 1
