Penman, 21 City Attorney 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4 . .;~ .f . --~';'fr Sturges Center is well placed in size and availability for continued growth and development. The Center seats 743, which is a good mid-sized facility. Our rates are competitive against other facilities in the local and extended areas. We are in line with the rates charged by the school district for school facilities and, without the constraints of school district policy, we are very attractive for organizations that might normally use those facilities. The Center does need some stage work, particularly in the electric capabilities and in stage storage and preparation areas. However, at the present time, our facility is quite functiol1a1 and able to provide the lI1l\iority of the needs of our constituents. . In the past eight months I have begun the research work concerning the availability of grants for operational and program support. I have identified eight foundations which are currently giving funds in those areas and have initial contact, Most have responded that the Center needs to have at lea.'it one year of qperatiSln, and have a proven financial stability prior to receiving funding1iOm their foundation. Based on this information, 1996/1997 will be the year in which we will begin to receive grants and support from outside funders, As the fall ~ . . funding period approaches, I will be filing grant. requests with th~ fOlllldations, as well as, any other organizations which are identified as providing financial support in the areas needed by Sturges Center. Based on the above information, the Board af Directors of the Sturges Foundation requests continued funding at last years level from the Economic Development Agency .for Sturges Center for the Fine Arts. The $60,000.00 provided last year was used to keep Sturges Center open and viable and to upgt<lde our current facilities, We know that with continued SUJl1lOrt from your agency Sturies Center for the Fine Arts will be able to actively continue providing a performance venue for many local organizations, as the only facility available at an affordable price and ac~essablc to the greater San Bernardino Community, If you need any additional information, please feel free to call me at 384-5411/5415. Thank you for your contillUed support of Sturges Center for the Fine Arts, Sincerely, tlLG.~ Charles A, Bradley General Manager Sturges Center for the Fine Arts. EXJ-!- /8/114 II
