Kathy reminded us that all agenda items must be to her and <br />Julie by noon of the Wednesday preceding our meeting and to <br />Julie K the Tuesday before. <br />Kathy then brought up the fact that it costs $53K to <br />maintain the Arts Center over the course of a year and <br />raised the possibility of the City charging a nominal fee to <br />offset those expenses to the major usage groups: Coal Creek <br />theater, Center Stage, and the LAA, perhaps <br />$1,000/year/group. It gets rented to residents for $70/hour <br />to residents for groups >21; $90/hour for non-resident <br />groups. Don objected to Arts groups being charged since <br />they don't make enough to pay for space. Julie K suggested <br />a cap on free hours. Joe suggested a two-tier fee <br />structure: charge more for Friday and Saturday nights. <br />Maryan asked about the value of $3K to the City budget vs. <br />the ill-will and potential departure of arts groups. Lynn <br />recommended a joint fund-raising effort. Jim asked for City <br />to get input from all user groups and pointed out that we'll <br />need an endowment to pay for expenses to keep it going. Joe <br />talked about the balancing act needed for all downtown arts <br />centers across the state. <br />There was a brief discussion about DBA's desire to put art <br />downtown; Action item: Maryan is to meet with Deb Kruger. <br />XII - Events Schedule: <br />Action item: Maryan to add Silent Movies 11/14 and young <br />Artists 11/21-12/7 to Events Calendar <br />Email list is @675 people <br />Snail mail: @900 <br />Everyone is responsible for publicizing their own events <br />Action item: Maryan to print more surveys <br />XII - New Arts Center: Don and Lynn will be touring other <br />Arts Centers, starting in Arvada.
