4. Staff Updates
a. Visual & Performing Arts Grants 2004
Grant awards have been mailed to recipients and Ric Todd has received
some thank you notes. Commissioner McGlade would like to know who
received awards. Ric will email the Commissioners the list.
b. Music In The Park 2004
Yesterday's concert was Yavaz. Coming up on Sunday, Eduardo
Mendiola, guitarist will be performing. A flyer was distributed.
c. Taste of the Arts 2005
TOA 2005 is scheduled for Sunday, May 15 at Bayside Park. The reason
for the change is that the City Council would like a later date in hopes of
better weather on the coast and for the CAC to stage a much bigger event.
Per Ric To two new elements will be added; (1) show choirs
performing from various schools and districts, with cash prices and
trophies; (2) an area for literacy, and Ric has already found a publisher to
act as an anchor.
Per Roderick Reinhart, the City Council also wants a subtle change in the
name of the TOA. They would like the banners and signage to indicate
"Chula Vista's Taste of the Arts". Motion to approved, MSUC
d. Public Art Program with the Port — in Round Four
e. Beautification Awards, August 19, 2004, San Diego Country Club in
Chula Vista, 6:30 pm, tickets available from Mayor's office
The McCandliss Awards will not be a part of the dinner this year because
of the need for a current high school senior, and by August they would
have already graduated. The awards will be moved to the TOA VIP
reception in the spring.
5. New Business
a. Report of "Arts Funding Task Force" progress and direction
At the next CAC meeting, the Task Force will present a proposed policy
for the commission to consider (a draft of the policy will be sent prior to
themeeting).
b. General Plan Update Progress
The GPU will go to Council around October/November. It must be passed
before the CAC can take any action regarding changes in methods of
funding the arts.
6. Commissioner's Comments
■ (Roderick Reinhart) All language pertaining to the arts is still in the current
version of the GPU.
■ A policy needs to be developed to establish a day/time for groups that want
the CAC to endorse a project, for all parties to come to the CAC at the same
time. The CAC must first establish a policy, have it approved, and then
publish it to the public. Chairman Redo requests that staff let the CAC know
what is the time frame to establish a policy.
• (Ric)The website is being updated to include all event applications. No paper
applications will be mailed, unless there are special circumstances.
■ Commissioner Al Gore has access to one hundred fifty people to help with
TOA 2005. He will forward the name of the organization to Ric Todd.
■ Commissioner Kerry Knowlton is speaking at the Screen Writing Expo in Los
Angeles.
7. ADJOURNMENT —The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m. The next Cultural Arts
Commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 13, 2004 at 5:30 p.m.
