Civic Cultural Commission Page 3 Minutes of October 3, 2002 ITEM 3 - RESULTS OF SUMMER CONCERT SERIES AND NEIGHBOR SURVEY AND RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT Superintendent Beth reviewed the results of the neighbor survey which had a 67% response rate. He also reviewed the results of the concert survey provided at the last two summer concerts at Stafford Park. Commissioner Kushin stated the Concert Sub-Committee tried to address the neighbor concerns expressed on last year's survey such as garbage, keeping the sound at a respectable level, and having the Police Department monitor the concerts. Barbara Paulozzo of 26 Lowell Street stated she loves the concerts at Stafford and wants them to remain there. She noted she surveyed six of her neighbors who were also in favor of leaving the concerts at Stafford. Rick Orvik of 134 King Street spoke in support of the concerts and felt the Commission should pay attention to what the majority of the neighbors and concert attendees want, not just one neighbor. Lois Mangini of Myrtle Street stated that for the past several years the concert surveys have indicated a large majority of the people were in support of the concerts at Stafford and wondered if the Commission needed to continue this process every year. Commissioner Britschgi thanked the neighbors for coming this evening and sharing their thoughts. Commissioner Kushin said the sub-committee would meet in the next few months to develop a recommendation to bring back to the Commission and Superintendent Beth asked that it be done by the January meeting. ITEM 4 — FRIENDS OF THE CIVIC CULTURAL COMMISSION Commissioner Britschgi spoke about having people support the Cultural Commission on an ad hoc committee such as "Friends of the Civic Cultural Commission". She suggested this committee bring ideas to the Commission for further discussion. M/S Britschgi/Williams: That the Commission form a sub-committee to draft an outline and define tasks for a "Friends of Civic Cultural Commission" which would provide support and input to the Commission. Motion passed. Commissioners Britschgi, Williams and Ayala will serve on this sub- committee.
