ITEM 6- CARRINGTON HALL UPDATE Commissioner Saye stated Steve Penna was unable to attend this evening's meeting to give his report. The last meeting of the Carrington Hall Committee was in June and no date has been set for the next meeting. The Commissioners reviewed the copies of the letters from Superintendent Merle Fruehling of the Sequoia Union High School District and deferred to the Carrington Hall Committee to review and recommend the appropriate action. ITEM 7- DEVELOPMENT OF 95-96 COMMISSION WORKPLAN Superintendent Hartman explained that at the May 13 Boards and Commission Training, the City Council requested a workplan from each board and commission for Fiscal Year 95-96 which will be due in September or October. The Commissioners discussed the matter and decided to bring their ideas to the August meeting and complete the workplan at that time. Chairperson Redington said he will check with Mayor Gasparini to get her feedback on this matter and will report back in August. ITEM 3-BUDGET PRESENTATION DISCUSSION Commissioners Ball, Filippi, and Piulle met with Mayor Gasparini, Councilwoman LaBerge, Superintendent Hartman and Corinne Centeno on June 28 and July 5 to discuss the supplementary budget request submitted by the Cultural Commission to the City Council. The purpose of the meeting was to try to develop a recommendation for consideration at the City's budget review session on July 10. A memo was developed by the sub-committee for the Commission's review and approval which listed the various ideas that were suggested as a result of these two meetings. The Commissioners reviewed and discussed the recommendations at length. T'he recommendations were: 1.) That the Cultural Commission be given the total cultural budget to disburse as they deem most appropriate according to its objectives and guidelines. 2.) To request the originally submitted total budget of $62,595 which would not increase the overall cultural request. 3.) To release restrictions on the $15,000.00 previously granted for Fox Theater grants and allow the Commission to determine appropriate uses for these funds. 4.) To earmark $30.000.00 to be provided for the Peninsula Center Stage production series based on application from PCS for the funds. This earmark would be for the 95-96 year only.
