Meeting called to order by Chairperson Garcia on Thursday, September 01, 2016 at
4:30 p.m. in the City Clerk Conference Room, 2nd Floor of City Hall.
AGENDA ITEMS:
1. Budget for Art Night — October 14, 2016.
Mark Persico's proposal was handed out. There were not enough entries as of
two weeks ago so the deadline was extended to Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016. The
requirement for artists to supply their own power generators may be one of the
issues.
A Motion was made by Bronica Taylor to approve the proposed budget for Art
Night, and was seconded by Barbara Babcock. The motion was passed.
2. Budget for Micah Escamilla "Beneath the Arrowhead" Window Project
The proposed budget for the "Beneath the Arrowhead" project is $1,188.00; this
includes $488.00 for supplies and $700.00 honorarium. The images will be
displayed at 369 and 371 E. Street and the windows have already been cleaned.
A Motion was made by O /ena Ohiy to approve the $1,188.00 budget for the
"Beneath the Arrowhead" Window Project and was seconded by Donna Howard.
The Motion was passed.

COMMISSIONER/STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS:
There was a request by Bronica Taylor to readdress the need to go to the council for
funding approval for projects that the Fine Arts Commission already has in their budget.
This will be placed on the Agenda.
Bronica Taylor has been asked to provide information regarding the Organizational
Grants and the ethnic - diversity of chosen recipients.
Barbara Babcock asked to agendize the possibility of a P.R. marketing campaign for the
Fine Arts Commission — what the FAC funds, what it does, etc.
Barbara Babcock has been in touch with contacts from the Art Institute; they would like
to be more involved with the Art Night and events like it.
If the City Council appoints him, there may be a new commissioner representing Ward 1
at the next meeting. Gil Botello has sent a very nice packet to introduce himself to
everyone.
Chairperson Dorothy Garcia adjourned the meeting at 4:55 p.m.
