Civic Cultura!Commisslon p8ge 2 <br /> Minutes of August 3, 2000 <br /> not on the agenda, this item was placed on the August agenda for further <br /> discussion. Superintendent Centeno explained that in 1999, the concerts <br /> were moved to Red Morton Park due to the construction. In 1998 and l997 <br /> the concerts were held at Stafford; ln 1996 and prior years, the concerts <br /> were rotated to different parks around the city. The Commission decided in <br /> 1996 to move the concerts to one (ocation in order to increase concert <br /> attendance. She noted that we have only two concerts remaining and the <br /> Commissioners need to decide this evening if they wish to keep the two <br /> concerts at Stafford or move them to another location. She also noted that <br /> on a long term basis, the Commissioners needed to decide the location of <br /> 2001 concert series. She also spoke about the interim use policy in effect at <br /> Stafford. <br /> Commissioner Britschgt stated that she has friends who live on Lowell and <br /> King Streets who are in favor of leav�ng the concerts at Stafford Park and <br /> suggested that the Commtssion do a survey of surrounding neighbors before <br /> the Commission takes action on this item. Commissioner Saye agreed with <br /> Commissioner Britschgi's suggestions and felt the Commission should have <br /> spoken with the neighbors pr�or to having the concerts at Stafford. <br /> Commissioner Det Carlo felt that the two remaining concerts should continue <br /> at Stafford since all advertisements have been pubtished with the location <br /> and it would be d�fficult to get the information out in time. Commissioner <br /> Dale agreed that the last two concerts should remain at Stafford and that the <br /> Commission shoufd work with local neighborhood to get their feedback and to <br /> look at other locations for future concerts. Commtssioner Britschgi noted <br /> that when other cities have evening events, they provide theater tickets to <br /> residents who live near the event location so they are not negatively <br /> impacted. Commissioner Saye suggested having the Commission set-up a <br /> public relations/information desk at the Farmers Market where concert <br /> surveys could be collected. Commissioner Dale suggested putting off the <br /> long term decision until after the two concerts are over. <br /> Dick Clark noted that weekends are the worst at Stafford Park, but he has <br /> seen a dramatic improvement since the interim poiicy was instituted and <br /> further amended to eliminate BBQs from being brought in by park patrons. <br /> Commissioner Britschgi mentioned there will be four new commissioners <br /> beginning in September and they needed to be brought up to date on this <br /> matter and shou(d be part of the decision making process. <br /> M/S Dale/Saye: To continue the two remaining concerts a� Stafford <br /> Park with the idea of monitoring tMe poliry and at conclusion, having <br /> a discussion with neighbors and prepa�ing a study to look at <br /> comparable faciiities for the �001 concert series. <br /> Niotion passed unanimously. <br /> Superintendent Centeno asked for Mr. Clark's phone number so she could <br /> contact him to keep him apprised of the sltuation.
