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 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.

 

Respectfully submitted,
