� Civic Cultu�al Commission Page 3 Minutes of April 5, 2001 has declined at the committee meetings and there needs to be a decisive body. He felt the focus of the 'Tis the Season program was to bring people to downtown Redwood City and suggested that one group be the governing body. Director Centeno asked the Commission if this program is still a Cultural Commission-sponsored event, and if it is, would they accept assigning responsibility to another group. She also asked if any of the Commissioners were interested in being the committee liaison and actively participating in the program. Commissioner Kushin asked the Commissioners if they were concerned about the process or just the end product, and that the Commission needs to look at the overall objectives of the program. Chairperson Britschgi read Commissioner Ball's letter to the Commission and her request that the responsibility of the �Tis the Season program remain with the Cultural Commission. Commissioner Dale suggested that the two groups involved meet with a representative from Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center (PCRC) to try and work out a managing body. Mr. Slusser stated that the parade is one piece of the program and there are many other facets of the `Tis the Season program which need attention and work. He suggested that the group stay focused on the "what" and not the 'how" things are completed. Jeff Norris stated that there are approximately 12 members on the 'Tis the Season committee and asked the Commission if they wanted to continue to sponsor the program or turn it over to another group. M/S Dale/Douglas: That the Commission endorse the next `Tis the Season meeting and propose that they invite the PCRC to facilitate a meeting on developing their own organization which can include adopting one of these organizations. Motion passed. (Yes-4, No-2 Kushin, Soultanian) The next meeting of the `Tis the Season Committee will be held on Wednesday, April 18.
