FORT FUND:
The Board made significant changes to the Fort Fund process by creating a three -
tiered funding system. Using the newly created system, the Board recommended funding in
the amount of $53,750 to 43 organizations in January, $69,500 to 10 organizations in April,

City Council budgeted $70,000 to fund Arts Alive as long as the organization secured
matching grants. Board members assisted in establishing a Board of Directors for Arts

additional funds were budgeted by the City for Arts Alive.

Fort Collins Museum North Gallery
The first annual joint meeting was held Monday evening, February 28, 2000, between
the city of Fort Collins' Cultural Resources Board (CRB) and the Fort Collins
Museum Advisory Council (MAC). The primary goals for the meeting was the
sharing of information about the two organizations and their relationship to each
other, and creating a vision for the Museum in the 21" century. The meeting was
hosted by the Museum staff — Director Jill Stilwell, Curator of Exhibits John Carr,
Curator of Collections Cheryl Donaldson, Curator of Education Treloar Tredennick,
and Museum Store Coordinator and Museum Accountant Beth Higgins. MAC
member Dr. Brenda Martin of Martin and Associates facilitated the meeting.
Present from the CRB were: Jennifer Sterling Beccard, Ayleen Burns, Joan Day,
Corinne Govan (Chair), Loren Hooper, and Fran Johnson. Present from the MAC
were: Chuck Hagemeister (Chair), Brad March, Brenda Martin, Arlene Nededog,
Anna Otto, Mabel Preble, and Pam Uhls. David Siever, Director of Cultural Service
and Facilities for the city of Fort Collins, and Evan Hyatt, Publicity Coordinator for
the Lincoln Center, were also present. Four journalism students sat in on the first half
of the meeting for a class project under Colorado State University Professor Joe
Fuentes. Not present were Bruce Hendee of the CRB and Beth Price of the MAC.
Copies of the agenda and four other handouts (CRB By -Laws, MAC member contact
list, Museum's 2000 calendar, and copy of Jill Stilwell's overheads) are attached.
This report will be divided into two sections. The first section will briefly highlight
presentations made by the Govan, Hagemeister, and Stilwell. The second section will
discuss the results of the "Creating a Vision of the 21st Century Fort Collins Museum"
workshop facilitated by Martin.
Brief presentations were made by CRB Chair Corinne Govann and MAC Chair
Chuck Hagemeister. Corinne stated that the CRB is charged within their by-laws to
assist cultural organizations of the city, specifically:
0 •
Sec. 2-203. Functions.
(5) To assist, advise and make recommendations to the Director of Cultural
Services and Facilities and the City Council in cooperating on community
projects with other civic organizations and with individuals interested in the
city's cultural programs and facilities, in order to promote awareness and
understanding of, and appreciation for, the value of cultural resources in the
community.
Corinne also suggested that the primary way in which the CRB can be of assistance to
the Museum is through recommendations to City Council and the sharing of
information about Museum needs and happenings.
Chuck presented a brief overview of the mission and role of MAC as an advisory
council to the Museum Director, and not as a replacement for the role of the CRB. He
introduced the MAC members (see attachment) and discussed what we have been
doing and are planning to do for the remainder of the year.
Museum Director Jill Stilwell made a brief slide show presentation that reflected the
history of the museum. She noted that the 1990s were full of changes for the Museum
as it not only had three directors and complete changes in staff, but the Museum field
in general became more focused on education and community outreach. Jill then
showed a series of overheads (see attached) highlighting the role of the Museum in
the community by sharing the Mission of the Museum and its statement, the 1999
Strategic Plan, staff, vital statistics, and plans and activities taking place this year.
The following section will examine the results of the "Creating a Vision of the 2 1 "
Century Fort Collins Museum" workshop facilitated by Brenda Martin. The intent of
the workshop was to generate ideas, create a sense of responsibility and ownership,
and to build consensus on how the CRB and MAC can work with the Museum and its
staff as the Museum moves into the new century.
Initially, Brenda went around the group and had them state in one to three words what
a museum means to them. "Education ... exhibits ... collections ... learning ...
sharing ... magic ... fun ..." were a few of the ideas people shared. The group then
brainstormed individually for 3 to 4 ideas that they felt to be important for their vision
of the Fort Collins Museum in the next century. Small groups of three persons were
then formed to further brainstorm and prioritize the top 3 to 4 ideas.
After placing the ideas before the group, and clarifying as needed, the ideas were then
organized into clusters and given a title. The group then talked about the clusters,
what they meant, and what insights were gained. Seven clusters were formed, each
containing various components. In spite of the number of components, it was noted
by the group that the clusters were equally important in creating the overall vision of
the 2l't century Fort Collins Museum.

Part of the mission of the Fort Collins Museum is to be a dynamic institution that
provides opportunities to learn, reflect, and have fun. This was obviously
significant to the group in how the museum presents itself, its programs and its
exhibits as noted in cluster 1. The group was also adamant in its determination
that the Museum be an integral part of the local community, as well as being
renown regionally, nationally, and even internationally as noted in clusters 2 and
3. The need for the Museum to expand and increase its physical facility was
discussed in cluster 4, and even further emphasized in cluster 5 where the
Museum is viewed as a living and integral component of the community as a
heritage and learning center. Clusters 6 and 7 reflected the basic needs on which
to build clusters 1 through 5, and that is through increased funding and staff.
Both funding and staffing factors were determined by the group as the
fundamentals to create the vision of the Museum as described above, and it is here
where the CRB and MAC can begin their collaborative efforts and offer the most
assistance. As noted earlier by CRB Chair Corrine Govann, the CRB can be a
voice for the Museum in matters relating with City Council and the Mayor's
office, especially concerning funding by the city and staffing issues; share the
vision of the Museum with other city cultural organizations and constituents; give
insights and share information through their liaison with MAC, Joan Day; and
offer expertise and knowledge such as through an annual joint CRB and MAC
meeting. MAC will strive forward in its purpose
to provide community based input on the Fort Collins Museum's programs
and services; to advocate for the Museum and enhance its public image;
to build the Museum's constituency; to advise and support the Museum
Director; to bring expertise to the Museum; and to assist in fundraising
efforts.
Overall, the Fort Collins Museum will strive as it enters the 21" century to be a
"Jewel in the Crown" of cultural organizations locally, as well as regionally,
nationally, and even internationally!
