Steve Nap: Mentioned he is part of other Louisville boards Erica: city liaison, background in music and dance organizations. Ron: lost ron to a dropped call - he did not return to the LCC session. 8. Overview of the LCC (Erica) -Staff Liaison Erica Schmitt provided overview of the formation, history, and current structure of the LCC. The LCC was originally founded as a nonprofit that would advise the City of Louisville on how to spend SCFD funds. Members of the LCC voted to close the nonprofit, and the LCC now operates as a City Board, following the same rules as other City boards and commissions. Some parts of LCC bylaws are remnants of the LCC's time as a nonprofit, i.e. the elected Treasurer is from when the LCC would have its own bank account, write checks, and receive money. The LCC receives City funding for public art, programming, and arts grants to supplement LCC arts and programming. - Action Item: Resolution on posting locations for agendas i.Erica clarifies what the rules are for official meetings: Official meetings consist of 3 or more members of LCC gathering to discuss LCC business. Must post 72 business hours of notice to the public and notes should be taken and meetings are to be held in a public place. ii.Motion to pass resolution on where LCC agendas will be posted (Library, City Hall, Rec./Senior Center, Police Station, City website) made by Mark and seconded by JR. All in favor, none opposed. - LCC retreat: Discussion about a half day retreat to fine tune goals. 9. LCC Officers: Action item: vote on which positions to fill, vote for officers - LCC bylaws require that the following officers are elected in the January meeting of each year: Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer. -JR asks if we can change the title and description of the treasurer to finance chair. When the LCC reviews its bylaws, they could potentially remove Treasurer position from officers that are required to be elected each year.
