Summer/Fall Programming updates • Programming Subcommittee and Budget Update Silent Movies (6/19) Leah, subcommittee meeting to discuss programming. Only $119 spent so far, $10,690 for summer concerts, other events may be ticketed to support more events. Tami, concerned about the amount of money spent. Emily, money spent in 2019 was around $10,000. Leah, we can no longer take donations, Tami, our budget was cut this year as well. Mark, will need a reasonable discussion in 2022 about the use of the budget. Leah, will discuss 2022 before the next budget is approved in November. • DBA collaboration: (Tami) The initial idea from the subcommittee was to allow businesses to paint their own barriers, not to get artists as that makes the project complicated and it is already almost July. The DBA would like to coordinate and Tami suggested allocating an amount of money, with the idea we can get material donations and hand this project over to the DBA and support them if they need. Tami motioned to allocate $300 to assist the DBA with this project. Debbie approved $300 toward downtown, Kim seconded. XI. Summer Concerts
