IV. Public Input: Natalie Scarlett – Fort Fund Grantee
V. Natalie Scarlett came to thank Fort Fund Board Members. She explained how the
grant money was utilized. She also elaborated how she was able to collaborate with
a variety of other non-profits for the event. This was her first grant and it was very
successful, and in fact, sold out. This was very exciting to hear. The Board remarked
that they would like to hear more from the grantees.
VI. Mr. Flowers then moved on to the Fort Fund grant revision for Project Support II
for January. It was decided that since this grant was being reformatted, the grant
would open November 5, 2018 and close January 5, 2019 at 11:59 pm. Board
Members had a rough draft to work on and went through each question.
Everyone had input. It was decided to incorporate the new changes and a come
up with another draft before it is placed on the website. The main changes are to
eliminate redundancy and provide a logical format.
VII. Mr. Rogers updated the Board on the new Cultural Services Director. It has been
decided that Jim McDonald would be taking the position starting November 5,
2018. He has a strong background in both the private and public sector. The
Board was very happy with the City’s choice. Mr. Rogers also updated the Board
on the ongoing Cultural Plan for the City.
VIII. Other Business – Ms. Francuz brought up the point that Fort Fund should also
have an individual artist grant. The Board agreed. It was decided that this would
make a great agenda item for the next Board meeting (11/29/18). This way Mr.
McDonald could participate in this discussion.
Adjournment: 2:39 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Liz Irvine
Secretary
