�, M, . ...., , �.-, . ..... .... . 5.) To develop funding guidelines for a process that would be implemented for the 96-97 budget. These guidelines would be presented to the Council at some point during the 95-96 year and adopted for utilization for funds requested for the 96-97 year. They would include a calendar and marketing procedures that would be equitable and available for all cultural groups seeking funds from the City/Commission. 6.) To inform the City Council that the Commission would most likely be requesting an increase in their overall budget for 96-97. 7.) To separately submit (as has already been done) the request for $15,000 for public art acquisition for the Red Morton Center; this should not be included as part of the regular Commission budget but funds should be allotted from some other source.
