CETA WORKERS FOR in almost any of the fine arts to work on projects for the
FINE ARTS PROJECTS City such as murals, paintings, concerts, photography, etc.
In a written report, Director of Personnel Bigge recom-
mended against doing this as the City has an obligation
to hire a percentage of people from this group of employees
into the present work force and positions would have to
be diverted from existing programs.
Mr. Bigge recommended as an alternative that the City
develop several fine arts programs under the "Project
Grant" concept for one year duration and thus the scope
of the activity could be much larger and involve more
people. Projects could be submitted in May and would
be tentatively scheduled to begin in October, 1978.
Motion to approve It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman
staff recommendation Hobel and unanimously carried that the ~taff recom-
mendation be approved.
