President's Report & Correspondence -Wendy Phillips Wendy summarized the SCFD Grants Workshop held in Broomfield on Saturday, January 12, 2008, ar~d invited comment from Don and Jim, who attended representing the Louisville Cultural Council. The Board had a productive discussion about thE: workshop sessions, insights into the SCFD proposal process, and issues facing LCC as we prepare our proposal for 2009. The LCC final report for this past year is due January 31, 2008. The report must be submitted or we cannot submit a grant proposal. The SCFD grant proposal is due March 14, 2008. Don Atwood volunteered to write the final report. Sources of data were discussed, including missing event reports. Carol Cheh agreed to pursue and provide event reports for children's events and Julie Kovash agreed to do the same for silent movies. Wendy reminded us all that Tara Williams (infoC~dollar-sense.com) and Kathy Martin should receive the reports at the same; time. Don will sign the SCFD final report because he is preparing it. SCI=D is also hosting an event about discretionary grants at the Boulder County Courthouse on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 6:30 PM. Wendy reminded all that LCC officer elections will take place at the February LCC Board meeting. IX. Treasurer's Report -Given !the resignation of Sandra Lilja from the LCC Board, Jim volunteered to serve as interim treasurer. Julie so moved; Don seconded, and all agreed. Wendy pointed out that the minutes reflecting this board decision will have ~to be signed and hand-delivered to the bank. Jim agreed to contact Sandra for the LCC financial materials she still has. Jim will have to invoice the City for $1,200 to pay for accounting services being provided by Dollar-Serise. Discussion of LCC finances focused on recognition that we are facing a major reduction in potential SCFD funding because of the fact that most of our support from the City has been in-kind rather than cash and Boulder County bases maximum SCFD funding on percentage of cash operating budget. As a result, 2007 is a transitional year for LCC and our 2008 budget will reflect changes in our financial relationship with the City. Don suggested that members of the LCC Board meet with Karen Gerrity of SCFD prior to March 14 to discuss our grant proposal prior to submission. This led to Wendy's reminder 1:hat the SCFD "Bear must be there;" that is, any activities supported by SCFD funds must include the SCFD bear logo in all related advertising and materials. We also must remember to acknowledge SCFD support alt events.
