Mark notes that you can subscribe to newsletters as a citizen. Leah notes that people at the silent film said that they all found out through the artist personally or the Arts and Events newsletter.

Included in the packet is the sample budget, included in it is the number that Josh proposed as far as the project. JR had a call with him about the "Welcome Home" event, it was very successful. Josh proposed a partnership through the LCC that if we could put 4k in the budget for the Cultural Caravan. That would be one of the concerts in the park and a pop up show as well as something similar to the fire station event we hosted this year. So 3 events total world be hosted by Cultural Caravan. JR likes working with them since they have all their own sound and crew. JR thinks that they are a very good bargain for three events. Sarah asks what medium they group is. Beth notes that it is cello and collaborated with other instrumental groups. The Caravan brings together a bunch of collaborations with different ethnic musicians. Leah asks to make this item to vote on to approve this partnership. Mark asks if we will be approving what events will be happening as well. Leah marks that it would be the three listed above. Leah wants to clarify that Josh can provide the clarity of sound for the summer concert? b. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) i. City EDI (Erica) 1. Staffing: EDI Manager position- Last year the City worked with a consultant to get recommendations. They recommended that the city get an EDI manager. Erica thinks that this manager will want to connect with the LCC eventually. Mark notes that Grace spoke at the City Council meeting and she asked for a read out of the work items for the EDI task force as well for next year.
