Civic Cultu�al Commission Page 2 <br /> Minutes of Decembe� 7, 2000 <br /> ITEM 2 — UPDATE ON STANFORD DIGITAL ART PR07ECT <br /> Professor Greg Niemeyer gave an update on the art project funded by the <br /> Commission earlier this year. He reported that $3,500 was raised for the <br /> project, which included the Commission grant of $2,500, and $2,400 was <br /> spent, leaving a balance of $1,100. He stated that the grant was originally to <br /> fund large historical posters of Redwood City on bus stops at Sequoia Station <br /> and historical postcards. Unfortunately, the owners of the bus stops would <br /> not approve the project, so a series of historical postcards of Redwood City <br /> were produced and distributed around the city. He also explained about the <br /> proposed project with senior and junior members of the community which <br /> was stalled at the high school level and Senior Center. <br /> Professor Niemeyer announced that UPS has agreed to fund his digital art <br /> course for the next five years. He said that Redwood City does not have any <br /> dedicated surfaces for public art which makes hard when trying to display <br /> public art. He suggested using the remaining $1,100 to fund a project which <br /> will display projected subjects of a particular theme on walls or buildings in <br /> Redwood City. His next class will begin in January 2001 and end in March <br /> and he would like to have this be a project for those students. Chairperson <br /> Britschgi suggested using the wall of the Fox Theater for this project. <br /> Commissioner Soultanian suggested using the public window at the Redwood <br /> City Art Center. Professor Niemeyer stated he would like to have the <br /> Commission's support when he contacts the owner of the Fox Theater to <br /> obtain permission. He stated he would like to have his students make a <br /> presentation at the February Commission meeting and asked to be placed on <br /> the agenda. <br /> ITEM 3 — NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR 2001 <br /> Chairperson Britschgi suggested delaying the election of officers until the <br /> January meeting because three Commissioners were not in attendance. The <br /> Commissioners discussed the matter and decided to do the election at this <br /> evening's meeting. <br /> M/S Ball/Soultanian: To re-elect Warren Dale as vice chairperson <br /> and Barbara Britschgi as chairperson of the Civic Cultural <br /> Commission for 2001. <br /> Motion passed unanimously. <br /> ITEM 4 — SUB-COMMITTEE REPORTS <br /> -Budget <br /> No report. <br />
