Arts & Humanities Council - Jane Nevrivy The Council was satisfied with turn -out for the Artist's Studio Tour. IV Fort Fund Discussion The guidelines covering the amount of times an organization can come in for funding was discussed. Discussion covered the effect of any change on smaller events and also organizations who are presently applying for funds. If a clarification of terms is made, sufficient time should be given for the change so that it doesn't adversely affect groups. Karen Warren moved that the guidelines be clarified to state that a group can come in for funding once a year for three years per event. Seconded by Jane Nevrivy. After more discussion, the motion was amended to include the start date of January, 1992 to be announced in August of 1990. Motion passed 4-0. For next funding session, Mark Breimhorst will give the "how to" seminar in place of Linda Green, who is taking another job outside the City. Karen Warren will attend as CRB liaison. Mark and Karen will set date of seminar. Linda Green distributed reports that have come in during the month. The most significant was that the Association for Responsible Communications has returned their check as they are moving the event out of Fort Collins. The $700 will be returned to the fund for distribution in June. The ad was discussed. It seems to be working as planned as both CRB members and Lincoln Center have gotten calls from interested groups. VII Work Plan Review Copies of the CRB work plan were distributed. Items under the cultural development area were discussed. It was decided to include the Cultural Plan (as part of the NEA grant process) on next month's agenda. The idea of a percentage for art was discussed with Diane Jones commenting on how a policy like this can affect both public and private construction projects. It may be something that the CRB can recommend to be included in the code. VIII Other Business NEA meeting - Jane Folsom discussed the luncheon with the NEA representative, Richard Huff. She felt it was a very good meeting, and that we have a good chance of making it work for Fort Collins. The Chamber of Commerce has started a new committee called the Cultural, Business Partnership. David Siever, Jane Folsom, Bruce Freestone and Lon Miller are all on the committee representing the arts community. Jane plans to invite about 20 people to the May meeting from the different historical groups in town to start a line of communications with them. It was decided to move the May meeting to the Museum courtyard and have the June meeting at Lincoln Center. Jane Nevrivy moved to adjourn meeting, seconded by Karen Warren, passed 4-0. Meeting adjourned - 6:57 pm. Respectfully submitted, Linda Green
