M/S Distefano/Fischer: To be able to use the $15,000.00 at any venue in the <br /> 1995-1996 Fiscal Year. <br /> Commissioner Redington said the funds were given to the Commission by <br /> City Council to grant for Fox Theater presentations and he would be hesitant <br /> to change. <br /> Commissioner Fischer said she would like to see different venues as some <br /> performances could be done cheaper at another location. There have not <br /> been a lot of applicants to the current program and it may not be the best use <br /> of money. <br /> Commissioner Distefano agreed with Commissioner Fischer and felt that we <br /> should be able to open it up to more groups. <br /> Commissioner Ball felt the program has been extremely successful in <br /> promoting the Fox Theater and she is willing to keep the funding for the Fox <br /> if we request an additional $20,000.00 for the Cultural Commission. <br /> Commissioner Moran felt the Fox Theater is the only place of its size for these <br /> types of performances. <br /> Commissioner Piulle said she is all for continuing to give the $15,000.00 to <br /> the Fox but only to cover rental costs, no production costs. <br /> Chairperson Filippi felt the Fox Theater and Carrington Hall are two quite <br /> different facilities and should not be competing for funds. He felt our <br /> commitment was to the entire City and does not like giving $45,000.00 to one <br /> venue and $16,000.00 for the entire City. <br /> Motion passed. (4-yes, 3-no) <br /> M/S TP/BM: That any rentals at the Fox Theater in the future should only be <br /> funded for the amount of rental costs and funds will not <br /> include production costs. <br /> Motion passed. <br /> Continuation of Item 7: <br /> M/S BM/VB: To allow the Optimist Club to continue to serve food at <br /> concert series. <br /> Motion passed. <br /> ITEM 8-ART CONTEST TIMELINE AND THEME <br /> M/S Redington/Fischer: To have this year's theme for the art contest be for <br /> Historical Preservation in Redwood City. <br /> Motion passed. <br /> Students will be asked to draw their rendition of the most historical building <br /> in Redwood City. The Historic Resources Advisory Committee will provide a <br /> list and/or pictures which will be given to teachers to assist with the project. <br />
