He will send a link to both board members to reapply if needed. Jim McDonald discussed the 2022 budget process for Cultural Services Department. He noted that the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery budget is what was requested but that The Lincoln Center and The Gardens on Spring Creek budgets reflect a reduction in general fund support. Two enhancements have been requested. One of these enhancements includes the Project Manager position outlined in the Fort Collins Creates Arts & Culture Master Plan. It is being put forward with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The second enhancement was to support access programs at the facilities and again ARPA funds are being proposed to be used. McDonald stated that The Lincoln Center was the recipient of the Save Our Venues Operating grant for $1.24 million dollars. The nonprofit partner of the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery also received this grant for a lesser amount. Fort Collins Museum of Discovery is opening the Mental Health: Mind Matters Exhibit which runs from September 24, 2021-January 2, 2022. The Gardens on Spring Creek wrapped up their concert series. Saturday night (9/18/21) was their largest concert with 1500 tickets sold for the Herbie Hancock concert.
