The April minutes were read
and approved.
Financial Report
The financial reported
stated that the account balance to date is $1,795.36. Jane questioned this balance as the Arts
Commission had received a grant from Key Bank, which should have changed this
balance. Katinka said she would go over
it with Traci as soon as she could.
OLD BUSINESS
Centennial Arts Project Update
Suzanne has spoken with several
interested community members about helping with this project. She set a meeting for May 19th at
7 pm at her place of business. It has
still not been decided what the project will be, but the next meeting will be
for this purpose.

Jane reminded the committee that the
next Summer Celebration Meeting would be held on May 26th at 7:00 pm
at her house.
Suzanne
will also purchase 5 merchant umbrellas for a total of $150, which we will use
as well.
Jane also
reported that the commission did not receive the applied for Mervyns
grant.
Estacada
Together requested that we fill out an application for a grant from them.
Katinka
reported that we purchased an ad for $125 (1/2 page) from the Estacada
Newspaper’s upcoming Summer Pamphlet that they will be publishing. She also reported that she purchased the
Summer Celebration temporary phone number (630-3383), which will be in effect
as of May 15th. Jane agreed
to record our message. Katinka said the
web page was coming along beautifully and that Derek Atlansky was doing a great
job on it.
Jami will
ask Lesley about creating a one-page flyer to distribute through all the local
schools prior to school letting out.
Jane also
reminded us that the next meeting is where we really need to get down to
working out all the details.
1% for Art Ordinance - Update
Randy Ealy gave Katinka a staff
report he created that the council will receive for their Monday meeting. In short, it gives the City’s support of the
ordinance by showing the City’s own in depth research into this topic and
listing the staff recommendations.
Suzanne agreed to be at the City Council meeting in case the council has
any questions. She will also suggest a
one-on-one workshop if the council so requests.
Grant Writing Workshop with Cheryl Snow
The commission is hosting a workshop
for Cheryl Snow on May 12th at 7:00 pm at City Hall. Katinka will update and print the grant
writing brochures from last time. All
commissioners agreed to contact as many people that the think would be interested
in attending. Jane suggested we put
something in the local paper and Katinka agreed to make a flyer to hang up
around main businesses in town. The fee
requested by Cheryl Snow is $150.

Meeting with Cheryl Snow through OAC/ABC
Cheryl agreed to meet with the Arts Commission (tentatively
scheduled for May 21, from 10 am to 2 pm at Jami’s house) to assist us with our
organizational development. Besides
this, the primary goal for this current work is to provide an outline of EAC’s
structure, a “Pathway to The Future” to guide the commission’s efforts. The outcome/product will be a written
document to include underlying EAC values, mission, goals and a contextual
analysis mapping current and future EAC relationships with other Estacada entities. We will invite Dave Bugni and Nina
Bradford.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 pm.

Jami Berry, Secretary
