The City Manager reported that as part of the budget meeting
on June 4, the City Council reviewed the Arts and Cultural
Commission's proposed 1976-77 budget. The reason for this
joint meeting was to discuss the Council's recommendation made
at the budget meeting that the Commission might benefit from
a change in organization and staffing by removing it from the
City Manager's office and placing it under the authority of
the Recreation and Park District. The City Council felt the
Commission might receive stronger support from the Recreation
staff and resources. As part of the change-over, the Council
proposed the hiring of a full-time staff member whose sole
responsibility would be to plan and coordinate arts and cultural
activities and assist the Commission. The City Council indi-
cated the Recreation and Park District handles activities on
a regular basis which the Arts and Cultural Commission was
proposing in their budget which involve ticket sales and
arrangements for trips and transportation. The Recreation and
Park District also has means of communication with the entire
community through contacts in the schools and via their brochure.
The Recreation and Park Director indicated his main concern
with the change-over was that there may be a problem with
clerical support. Councilman Hudson recommended placing the
Commission under the Recreation and Park District since the
District has the means and facilities to carry on functions such
as selling tickets and making reservations for trips which
could be carried on from a central location in the community
the Community Center. He noted the Arts and Cultural Commis-
sion lacks a vehicle for communicating with the community and,
under the District, their activities could be publicized in
the newsletter.
The City Manager pointed out that certain District activities,
such as the distribution of flyers to schools advertising
programs, are carried out on a routine basis. He indicated
the City Manager's office has encountered problems in adminis-
tering arts and cultural activities since these activities are
unrelated to his office and are more related to the Recreation
and Park District.
City Council Minutes
June 7, 1976
General discussion was held regarding the Council's proposal
and activities of the Arts and Cultural Commission. The Council
indicated the change would become effective starting July 1.
Discussion was held regarding the arts coordinator position and
the Council recommended that the person report directly to the
Recreation and Park Director. They suggested that this person
also attend City Council meetings to keep communication open
between the City Council and Arts and Cultural Commission.
Commissioner Ginns recommended that the arts coordinator be a
person who is involved with the arts and she stated she would
submit a list of criteria to aid in hiring the person. She
suggested that the Council consider hiring Mr. John Erysian,
the student who is presently assisting the Commission under the
Work-Study Program. Commissioner Ginns recommended that arts
and cultural activities have the same status as recreation
activities.
