Chairperson Redington reported that his meeting with Mayor Gasparini has <br /> been re-scheduled for next week and he will report back at the September <br /> meeting. <br /> ITEM 9-FOCUS 95 <br /> The Commissioners requested that the chairperson of the Architectural <br /> Advisory Committee be invited to our September meeting to discuss the <br /> percent for art policy and the mural policy. Chairperson Redington will <br /> contact the chairperson and invite him to the meeting. <br /> Commissioner Filippi said he contacted the City Attorney regarding the <br /> Commissioners being provided passes to performances of groups they had <br /> funded. The City Attorney said we can ask that a sufficient number of passes <br /> be provided for the Commissioners to attend and evaluate an event. This <br /> should also be part of the funding guidelines. <br /> Commissioner Piulle suggested that a subcommittee be formed to review the <br /> funding guidelines and Commissioners Ball, Distefano and Filippi <br /> volunteered to work on the subcommittee. <br /> ITEM 10-COMMISSION TERM LIMITS <br /> Commissioner Filippi would like the Cultural Commission to take the lead <br /> on the issue of commission term limits. He felt that incumbents are always <br /> selected and it is very difficult for new people to get on boards and <br /> commissions. He suggested that the Commission consider the idea of putting <br /> term limits on commission appointments to encourage more people to serve <br /> and suggested a two term maximum effective January 1996 and perhaps <br /> including a "grandfather clause" to exclude current commissioners. <br /> Commissioner Distefano expressed her support of Commissioner Filippi's <br /> suggestion. <br /> M/S Filippi/Distefano: That the Commission consider requesting the City <br /> Council to change the policy effective january 1, 1996 to <br /> establish a limit of two subsequent terms limits for all <br /> new incoming Cultural Commissioners and consider <br /> including a grandfather clause to exclude current <br /> Commissioners. <br /> It was suggested that the City Council look at considering term limits for all <br /> boards and commissions. <br /> Motion passed. 5-Yes, 2-No (Ball, Piulle) <br />
