ITEM 8 -INTERGENERATIONAL PROGRAM This matter was deferred until a future meeting. ITEM 9 - CARRINGTON HALL The Carrington Hall Committee has met only twice and the last meeting was held on November 29 with only five people in attendance. Don Saye will forward minute notes for the November 29 meeting to staff for typing and distribution. Staff sent out a survey to all members of the Carrington Hall Committee to determine possible future meeting dates, but only 50% of the members responded to the survey. Javier Pacheco and Steve Penna have agreed to be members of the committee and packets of information will be forwarded to them. Commissioner Moran will no longer be participating on the committee. Cultural Commissioners now on the committee include Commissioners Ball, Filippi and Fischer. Superintendent Hartman will check with City Attorney Schricker to determine if other Commissioners can attend Carrington Hall Committee meetings when they are not on the committee to ensure that we will not be in violation of the Brown Act. ITEM 10-BUDGET Commissioner Ball reported that she and Commissioner Piulle met with Supervisor Hannon to develop a proposed budget for Fiscal Year 1995-1996. The proposed budget of$37,595.00 was presented to the Commissioners for their review and comments. There was some concern expressed that the budget included $14,000.00 for public art at the new Red Morton Center and the need to encourage the City Council to establish a percentage for public art program. Commissioner Filippi suggested using the $14,000.00 for research and development for art programs in the schools. Commissioner Piulle felt that it is very important to have art included in the new Red Morton Center and that it be visible to youth. M/S Filippi/Piulle: To extend the meeting to 10:15pm. Motion passed. It was noted that $13,000.00 or over one-third of the Commission's proposed budget is potentially available to the School District for arts programs. The Commission has received more requests that it has been able to grant funds for and there is a need to indicate to the City Council that there are real cultural needs in Redwood City. M/S Moran/Fischer: To accept the proposed Fiscal Year 95-96 budget. Motion passed.
