Civic Cultural Commission Page S Minutes of January 2, 1997 The results of the program critique will be presented at the February Commission meeting. Commissioner Ball felt it was a good first time event and provided a week of good cheer to the community. She also thanked Commissioner Filippi for his hard work on the event. Commissioner Saye said he felt the Downtown Merchants will help out next year. -City Hall Historical Art Commissioner Filippi said he called Helen Graves for a letter of direction on this project. -Red Morton Art Opening Commissioner Ball said she has not been able to reach anyone and will call Pauline Truscelli of the Park and Recreation Commission for assistance. Supervisor Jan Knight is working with the architect on the art installation and is also working on the signage for the art work. Chairperson Piulle will consult with the artist on possibly covering up the art work before its dedication. -Banner Policy The Commission wrote a letter to City Council regarding its recommendation but had not received a response. Commissioner Distefano said she contacted the cities of Menlo Park, San Carlos and Belmont regarding their banner policies. Menlo Park will only allow a banner to be hung in two places in their city. San Carlos does not have any set policy but have only one place on Laurel Street to hang a banner; they will accept banners advertising events in other cities. Belmont was unable to provide information when she called. Commissioner Filippi said he wants to give priority to Redwood City events and wants a banner policy for the City. Commissioner Distefano said she will try to get something in writing from each city she contacted on their banner policies. Conunissioner Saye said the Merchants Group recently sent a letter to the City Council with the same recommendation as the Commission. Commissioner Filippi suggested having outside groups charged to hang banners in Redwood City because of the costs involved. This matter will be placed on February agenda. -Summer Concerts '97/Port Concert Development Commissioner Filippi said he spoke to Mike Giari and the Port will notify the Commission after January 7 on the date of the Port concert.
