Civic Cultural Commission Page 3 Minutes of July 11, 2002 Chairperson Dale reported that at last night's concert, he counted 72 children under the age of 6 who were dancing in front of the band. He noticed people at the concert had purchased food from food establishments, which helps with the local economy. He liked seeing families and friends enjoying the park. He agreed that we should continue to monitor the sound level and ask the Police Department to enforce park rules and regulations. Surveys will again be done at the end of the 2002 concert series, with a special survey sent to the surrounding neighbors. M/S Douglas/Britschgi: To accept the recommendations of the Sub- Committee for the 2002 Concert Series season and agree to re- survey the neighborhood and concert attendees. Commissioner Del Carlo stated the sub-committee was trying to look at all the issues before making its recommendations. Chairperson Dale said that every person has a vote on the survey and that the Commission makes their decision based on the survey results. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Britschgi felt we would be "opening a can of worms" by providing a dinner fund reimbursement. The Commissioners discussed questions to be included in the survey, the survey being mailed to the same block area, and providing surveys to attendees at the last two concerts of the year. Mr. Smith suggested that the surveys ask people for one other possible concert location. He also suggested that if there were eight concerts, that four could be at Red Morton and four at Stafford and could be alternated every other week. Announcements could be made each week to the audience so they would be reminded of the location of the next concert. Commissioner Britschgi stated the results of the 2001 concert surveys indicated an interest in Sunday concerts and she asked the audience their opinion. Several felt that the park is already impacted on the weekends with large crowds and did not like the idea. ITEM 2 — BUDGET The Commissioners were presented with a proposal from the Budget Sub- Committee on the 2002 Large Grant applications. Chairperson Dale reviewed the process for developing the funding amounts based on the Commission's proposed FY02-03 budget, which will not be approved by Council until late July. He suggested that the Commission re-visit the budget in six months in order to increase Commission funding from $1.00 to $2.00 per capita. The Commissioners took a recess at 8:40pm and reconvened at 8:42pm.
