CER TlFICA nON: Project Officer Norma n W. B a f frey Phone Number 384-5415 Tide Fi ne Arts Coordinator Date '-' '~J ATTACHMENT TO ORGANIZATION GRANT APPLICATION FORM V. Summary of Project Description (Cont.) Two additional organizations - San Bernardino Art Association and San Bernardino Valley Concert Association - occupy space in the building. Only one full time administrator is assigned responsi- bility for the entire complex of auditorium, office, conference room, dance studio, music room, gazebo and grounds. No secre- tarial, receptionist, technical or other assistance is provided. Once the facility attains peak usage, it is expected that one employee simply cannot operate it alone and administer the many other projects assigned by his department. Much evening and weekend work is anticipated. Use of the auditorium alone for performances (including dressing rooms and scene shop) by an estimated 15 known local organizations with 35 performance uses and 464 practice or rehearsal uses per annum require an enormous amount of detail and set-up by staff. Organizations' use of other rooms for conferences, meetings, etc. is additional work. Constant surveillance of total facility, opening and closing on daily and extraordinary bases is nearly impossible for one person, especially when that individual is responsible for 5 other facilities or major projects. VII Need Statement (Cont.) Harald Luther has been employed by the Sturges Foundation for 2.5 years at nominal salary, plus many donated hours, to help create this facility. He had demonstrated aptitude. talent and dedicated application in the areas of carpentry, painting, custodial, general handywork and administration at Sturges. He is intimately acquain- ted with just about every facet of the facility and has superbly assisted other contractors and users. He possesses invaluable skills and knowledge most needed for this operation. VIII. Intended Results systems at most reasonable fees. The facility also boasts very comfortable dressing rooms, an art gallery, conference room, music room, dance studio, exterior gazebo, large lObby suitable for special art exhibits, scene shop. ample parking and attractively landscaped grounds. It could ultimately become a cultural focal point for the arts.
