STAFF PRESENT: Mark Breimhorst, Libby McKinney
I. Call to order 4:03 p.m. - Ms. Dale
Il. Consideration of the agenda - No changes
III. Approval of minutes from the meeting of June 16, 1999
Ms. Sternlieb reported that a misprint in her title in June 16 meeting minutes.
Ms. Liska-Smith moved to approve the minutes, as amended.
Mr. Sherman seconded
Approved unanimously
IV. Citizen Participation — none
V. Aviation Memorial/Donation
Mr. Powers explained the contents of the Aviation memorial memo that was
mailed to the Board. Mr. Powers reported that it is likely that more memorial
projects will be presented to the APP board in the future. Mr. Powers also
reported that the recently passed city goals include intentions to focus on City
gateways and that this would be a favorable time for the board to address the
council on the issue of City gateways.
VI. Downtown Art Project
Roger Sherman distributed the images that he created which depict the
proposed Downtown Art Project. Mr. Powers explained that city attorneys are
questioning the use of Utility reserve funds for this project. Mr. Powers explained
that one percent of the ratepayers' payments enters the Utility budget and one
percent of that budget is allotted to public art. The current charter states that
money spent by utilities must directly benefit the ratepayer.
It was suggested that the Board concentrate on clarifying these program
policies before moving ahead with the Downtown Project. Once these new
policies are in place the board will report the new policy to the Artist, Michael
Hayden, and ask that he work within the new policy guidelines.
VII. Aviation Memorial
Mr. Roberts, retired Air Force Colonel, gave a presentation on the proposed
Aviation memorial. He, on behalf of the Air Force Association (AFA), addressed
the purpose of this project, the history of aviation in Fort Collins, memorial safety
issues, and the proposed placement of the memorial. The proposal includes
landscape maintenance that would cost the City approximately $10,000 annually.
He reported that the AFA needs approval from City and some other agencies in
order to proceed with the project. They have not yet started a fund drive and will
not do so until they receive approval from the necessary parties.
Ms. Sternlieb moved to recommend to city council that they not participate
in this aviation memorial at the proposed site.
Alan Howe seconded
Unanimously approved
Mr. Histand suggested that the board communicate a memo to Council that
states that the Board is pleased that the City is concentrating on its gateways. The
proposal or piece should be part of a mater plan and process. The board also
discussed other possible locations for the memorial. It was the consensus of the
board that they want to partner with council on reviewing future memorial
proposals.
VIII. Staff Reports
Ms. McKinney presented updates on current projects and distributed a
summary of these updates.
IX. Other Business
There was some discussion on Board member as arts professionals.
Alan Howe, newly appointed Board member, introduced himself and shared his
background with Hewlett Packard and tradeshow theaters. Ms. Sternlieb
announced exhibit in Santa Fe titled "Longing for Place."
X. Ms Sternlieb motioned to adjourn meeting
Mr. Histand seconded
Adjourned 6:29 pm

Dear Denise,
On behalf of the Cultural Resources Board, I would like to thank you for your letter of
May 19 regarding your suggestions for improving the Fort Fund grant process. Since our
last correspondence to you on June 7, the Board has had the opportunity to discuss in more
detail the comments and suggestions expressed in your letter.
The first suggestion that you expressed in you letter was in regards to notifying
organizations of their Fort Fund presentation by phone in addition to the letter that is sent
to each group. While the Board recognizes that this may be helpful, we also do not feel
that this action is a necessity. Organizations are aware of the funding session date as soon
as they have read the guidelines attached to the application. A letter confirming this date
and time of their presentation is mailed to each organization no later than three weeks prior
to the presentation. We feel that this notification process is sufficient and adding a follow-
up phone call would place further time constraints on the Board and staff of Lincoln
Center.
The second suggestion in your letter asked the Board to consider giving a specific weight
to the written and oral presentations for each proposal when determining a ranking. When
rating each proposal, Board members consider both written and oral presentations and each
member assigns a score to each proposal based on the criteria listed in the Fort Fund
proposal. Board members do not make a final decision on their individual rating until they
have read the written proposal and heard the oral presentation. This process allows the
Board to remain flexible in their ratings by not giving unequal consideration to either the
written or oral presentation. Giving weight to each of the criteria would eliminate the
flexibility of the current ranking system. With seven diverse individuals ranking each
proposal, the Board feels that goal of reaching a fair ranking for each proposal is achieved.

The third concern expressed in your letter was in regards to the appeal process for Fort
Fund allocations. The current process allows organizations to initially appeal to the Board
if their proposal is rejected because it does not meet the basic Fort Fund guidelines. This
appeal would take place at the funding session. Once the Board has recommended an
allocation to City Council, any appeal must be made to the City Council at the time that
they are considering the recommendations of the Board. This process is based on the
guidelines established by the Board and City Council. The recommendations made by the
Board to City Council are based on thorough consideration of the written and oral
presentations mentioned above. After further discussion, the Board feels that this current
process is sufficient to address and appeals that are necessary.
Again, thank you for your letter expressing your concerns on the Fort Fund process. We
have begun the process of gathering feedback from grant recipients of the last three
funding sessions and will be making any necessary changes prior to the January, 2000
funding session. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the form that we are using to gather
this feedback. If you have not already completed one, please feel free to return this one in
the postage paid envelope.
If you have any questions, please contact Evan at the Lincoln Center, 221-6735.
Sincerely,
Corinne Govan

March 29, 1999 the Northern Colorado AIDS Project was awarded $500.00 for
(970) 484-4497
an art installation intended to increase awareness of HIV and AIDS in our
