Mr. Weil announced that a certificate of appreciation to the Civic Cultural Commission will be delivered to thank them for their support of the Peninsula Musical Theater program. ITEM 3 -REPORT ON POSSIBLE USES OF REMAINING 93-94 FUNDS Chairperson Filippi mentioned that at the March 24 meeting, it was determined that there were remaining funds from the 93-94 budget totaling $2,690.00 plus the $980.00 left from the Fox Theater Grant Program and the Commission is looking at various options to use the money before the end of the fiscal year. -Carrington Hall (Councilman Paul Sanfilipo) Councilman Sanfilipo said he felt that due to the condition of Carrington Hall, he felt money would be better spent at that location rather than the Fox Theater because it would be owned by the "public". He felt that the renovation of Carrington Hall is a worthwhile project and would benefit many children and students. He mentioned Carrington Hall needs a sound system just like the Fox Theater, and it also needs painting and other work. Mayor Buchan said the Commissioners should consider a feasibility study of Carrington Hall and that they should work with the School District to determine what the problems are and what is needed. She suggested that the Commission could begin to generate some movement in this area. Councilman Sanfilipo suggested that perhaps service clubs could help with renovating the facility. Commissioner Fischer said that there is a Carrington Hall Fund in place with the Sequoia Alumni Association. Councilman Sanfilipo suggested that the Commission could approach the Redevelopment Agency for funds for this project. He also mentioned that Carrington Hall is mentioned in the Cultural Element as a number one priority. Commissioner Ball said she spoke with Will Richardson who was interested in organizing a group to work on this matter. The Commissioners requested that a letter be sent to Superintendent Fruehling and Sequoia High School Principal Earl Walker stating that the Cultural Commission has remaining funds in their budget and they are looking at donating funds to assist in the renovation of Carrington Hall, and that they want to know what their needs are. M/S Piulle/Ball: To appoint Commissioner Fischer to act as the liaison with the Sequoia Union High School District on the Carrington Hall project. Motion passed. Don Saye mentioned he was at McKinley School recently and was shocked at the condition of the auditorium.
