YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. IT'S 6:09 P.M.. I'M CALLING TO ORDER A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE TECHNICAL ARTS COMMISSION. WE HAVE. WE DO HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT CAME VIA EMAIL. THIS WAS SENT TO MR. HAMBY ON JULY 16TH, 2025 FROM THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER. SUBJECT AS ARTS COMMISSION PUBLIC COMMENT JULY 16TH, 2025 IS FROM MR. METZGER, 219 SOUTH CEDAR RIDGE DRIVE, DUNCANVILLE. 75116. AND I MY APOLOGIES IF I MISPRONOUNCE YOUR NAME. MY NAME IS MR. METZGER, AND I'M THE OWNER OF THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER LOCATED HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. I'M HERE TODAY TO EXPRESS MY STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED ART GRANTS. THESE GRANTS ARE NOT JUST FINANCIAL ALLOCATIONS. THEY ARE VITAL INVESTMENTS IN THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITIES, ARTISTIC LANDSCAPE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR YOUNG TALENT FOR OUR ORGANIZATION. THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE GRANTS WOULD BE TRANSFORMATIVE. SPECIFICALLY, THESE FUNDS WOULD ALLOW US TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS, MAKE ART EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE TO A BROADER RANGE OF STUDENTS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE BE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE DUE TO FINANCIAL BURDENS. THIS DIRECTLY TRANSLATES INTO MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ASPIRING ARTISTS TO HONE THEIR SKILLS AND PURSUE THEIR PASSIONS. FURTHERMORE, THE GRANTS WOULD PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED ASSISTANCE IN FUNDING OUR ANNUAL RECITAL. THIS EVENT IS A CORNERSTONE OF OUR PROGRAM, OFFERING STUDENTS AN INVALUABLE PLATFORM TO SHOWCASE THEIR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, AND IS ALSO A CHERISHED COMMUNITY EVENT THAT CELEBRATES LOCAL TALENT AND BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THESE GRANTS WOULD ENSURE THE CONTINUED HIGH QUALITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF THIS IMPORTANT TRADITION. INVESTING IN THESE ART GRANTS IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE ARTISTIC ENRICHMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR YOUTH AND THE CONTINUED VITALITY OF LOCAL ARTS PROGRAMS. I URGE THE COMMITTEE TO APPROVE THESE GRANTS. THANK YOU MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. AND ALEX, THAT IS THE ONLY PUBLIC COMMENT. THAT IS THE ONLY. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE MEAT OF THIS. SO IF I COULD MAYBE START WITH THE BIT OF THE SLIDESHOW. SO I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF LEAD IN. OH, GO FOR IT. SO WE'RE HERE TODAY TO REVIEW AND CONSIDER MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING OUR EXPERIENCE. APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED DURING THE JUNE 2025 GRANT APPLICATION CYCLE. OUR STAFF LIAISON, ALEX HAMBY, HAS SOME INFORMATION REGARDING FUND AVAILABILITY IN THE DUNCANVILLE ARTS FUND. SO, MR. HAMBY, YOU HAVE THE THAT FOR? SO I MET WITH RICHARD JACKSON, THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF FISCAL SERVICES, TODAY, SO I COULD MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAD A CLEAR IDEA AS FAR AS THE AVAILABLE FUNDING. SO THE FIRST THING THAT WE WENT AND LOOKED AT WAS WHAT WAS CURRENTLY IN THE FUND. THE CURRENT BALANCE. OH, WAIT A MINUTE. LET ME BACKTRACK. THIS IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT'S BEING REQUESTED. AND ALL OF THESE GRANTS COMBINED AS THEY AS THEY WERE SUBMITTED. SO IT IS 88,192 TOTAL DOLLARS THAT IS BEING REQUESTED ACROSS THESE 15 GRANTS. SO DURING MY CONVERSATION WITH RICHARD, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS A PROPER FRAMEWORK OF HOW MUCH MONEY WAS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL SPEND ON THESE GRANTS. SO WE STARTED WITH GOING INTO THE FUND BALANCE, INTO THE ACCOUNTING INQUIRY AND LOOKING AT HOW MUCH MONEY IS ACTUALLY IN THE ACCOUNT AS OF NOW, AS OF THIS MORNING, AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, IT WAS $104.44. THAT IS TWO TRANSFERS FROM THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX SO FAR THIS YEAR HAS MADE UP THAT TOTAL AMOUNT. AFTER YOU ALL WENT TO CITY COUNCIL, YOU ASKED FOR $20,000 FOR THREE EVENTS, WHICH INCLUDED THE JUNETEENTH WEEKDAY WEEK LONG EVENT, THE HISPANIC HERITAGE EVENT, AND THE ARTS AND BUSINESS MIXER. THAT LEAVES A BALANCE OF $65,104 THAT IS NOT ENCUMBERED OR IS NOT IS NOT COMMITTED BY THE BY YOUR REQUESTS. SO THEN I ASKED HIM WHAT IS A RECOMMENDED TOTAL EXPENDITURE FOR THIS GRANT CYCLE. SO THE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS, WHILE THERE IS A THE 80 SOMETHING THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THERE, THE BUDGETED AMOUNT WAS $50,000. THAT IS HOW MUCH WAS BUDGETED. SO WHILE THERE IS MONEY IN THERE. IT'S HOW MUCH IS BUDGETED IS WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO SPEND. AND YOU SPEND YOU'RE SPENDING $20,000 OF THAT IS BUDGETED FOR THE GRANTS OR IS THAT
BUDGETED FOR WHAT? THAT'S JUST BUDGETED YOUR EXPENSES FOR SO FAR. SO BECAUSE THAT WHEN THEY DID THE BUDGET LAST YEAR, THEY PUT IN HOW MUCH WAS THE ANTICIPATED INCOME, WHICH WAS A WAS AN ESTIMATE AND THEN BUDGETED AN EXPENSE AMOUNT. SO THEY JUST DID A NUMBER THAT THEY PREDICTED BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THERE'S AN ARTS FUND, FIRST TIME HAVING THIS, THIS BODY BEING INVOLVED IN SUCH A THING FOR AT FIRST THEY THEY PICK NUMBERS. SO THEY BUDGETED $50,000, OF WHICH $20,000 YOU'VE ALREADY ASKED FOR. AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, RICHARD HAS RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE A RESOLUTION TO CITY COUNCIL NEXT MONTH REQUESTING A APPROPRIATION OF $30,000 FROM THE ARTS FUND, THE THE UNAPPROPRIATED FUNDS TO MOVE INTO THE APPROPRIATED FUNDS FOR YOU TO APPLY TO THESE GRANTS, WHICH WOULD MAKE THE TOTAL AMOUNT $60,000. IT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU TONIGHT TO RECOMMEND IN THESE GRANTS. TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT OF THIS. I WAS ASKED, WHEN IS THE NEXT BUDGET TRANSFER THAT WILL BE IN AUGUST. SO THERE WILL BE FUNDS FOR THE NEXT ARTS COMMISSION TO WORK WITH FROM THIS FISCAL YEAR THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH FOR THE NEXT GRANT CYCLE. NEXT GRANT CYCLE. THE APPLICATION WINDOW IS SEPTEMBER 1ST THROUGH THE 30TH. OCTOBER IS GOING TO BE WHEN THEY REVIEW THE WHEN THEY REVIEW THOSE GRANT APPLICATIONS. AND REMEMBER, THAT WILL BE THE NEW MAKEUP OF THE ARTS COMMISSION. AND THEN THAT WILL BE THAT WILL GO TO CITY COUNCIL THE MONTH AFTER THAT. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE RECALL WE HAD TALKED ABOUT MOVING MONEY FORWARD TO THE NEXT ARTS COMMISSION SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T START WITH ZERO. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WON'T NECESSARILY BE A BURDEN. THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. IF WE SAVE MONEY FOR THE THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WHAT WILL THAT COME FROM? THE 60. THERE'S ANOTHER DEPOSIT BEING TRANSFERRED. IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO COME FROM AN AUGUST TRANSFER. SO ARE WE KEEPING SOME SAVING SOME BACK FOR THE NEXT THAT THAT IS THAT THAT DOES TAKE CARE OF IT. SO THE AUGUST THIS IS THE 60,000 IS WHAT IS AVAILABLE NOW AFTER THE APPROPRIATION OF THE FUNDS THAT'S CURRENTLY IN THE BALANCE. THE NEXT FUND TRANSFER THAT WILL HAPPEN IN AUGUST WILL ACTUALLY HELP THE NEXT ARTS COMMISSION AND THAT NEXT GRANT CYCLE. SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, REALISTICALLY, WE'RE SAYING THAT ABOUT 40 AROUND $42,000. EACH DEPOSIT HAS BEEN MADE. SO THERE'S BEEN TWO DEPOSITS MADE, CORRECT? YES. SO SO WE'RE AVERAGING SO WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT AVERAGE FOR AUGUST TO COME IN FOR THE TRANSFER IS GOING TO BE AROUND 40 TO $43,000. SOMETHING IN THAT I BASED ON THE LAST TWO TRANSFERS, HE SAID THAT THAT'S NOT EASILY PREDICTED. I MEAN, YOU CAN YOU CAN GUESSTIMATE, BUT NOT GOING TO KNOW UNTIL IT COMES IN BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT DEPENDS ON THE HOTELS BUSINESS. I HAVE TO LOOK IT UP. IT WAS I MEAN, YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT THE NEXT TRANSFER, THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT IS BECAUSE THE FIRST TRANSFER WAS HIGHER THAN THE SECOND ONE. THE THIRD ONE COULD BE EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER. IT'S JUST I MEAN, THE SURPLUS GOING INTO THE NEW. YES, YES. OKAY. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON WHAT MR. HANDY JUST DISCUSSED A SECOND. SO WE HAVE YOU MENTIONED THAT THEY YOU REQUESTED THAT THE COUNCIL OR IF YOU WILL BE REQUESTING MAYBE THE COUNCIL MOVE AN ADDITIONAL 30,000 OR WHAT DID I CALL THAT? BECAUSE IT'LL BE I'LL BE TAKING A RESOLUTION FOR THEM TO CONSIDER TO APPROPRIATE $30,000 FROM THE UNAPPROPRIATED FUNDS. SO THAT WILL ADD TO THE $30,000 BALANCE THAT IS STILL SITTING THERE OF APPROPRIATED FUNDS TO BRING YOU TO 60,000. YES, MA'AM. SO RON'S CALCULATION OF 91,000 IS INCORRECT. I WASN'T QUITE CORRECT BECAUSE THEY KNOW I PUT I PUT ANOTHER ONE IN THERE. THAT WAS INCORRECT. OKAY. AND I DIDN'T BOTHER TO SEND ANOTHER EMAIL BECAUSE IT'D BE ANOTHER EMAIL. YEAH. THE CURRENT THE CURRENT TOTAL IS 88,192. I GOT IT. I PUT TWO IN THERE. I THAT DIDN'T WALK. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON WHAT MR. HANDY IS? OKAY, SO FIRST OF ALL, BREATHE. I AM A LITTLE HOUSEKEEPING. MAYOR PRO TEM GOODEN SAID SHE WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND TONIGHT BECAUSE SHE WANTED US TO BE ABLE TO TO TO REALLY LEAN INTO THIS WITHOUT ANY COUNCIL LOOKING OVER
HER SHOULDER. SHE SAYS GOOD LUCK. SHE TRUSTS HER ARTS COMMISSION. AND I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE A FULL TABLE. I WANT TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, MR. HAMBY IS DOING A LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING TO MAKE THIS WORK. I WANT US TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. WHATEVER YOUR EXPERIENCE IS WITH CDC OR CITY COUNCIL, THIS IS NEW. WHATEVER YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER FOUNDATIONS OR YOUR BANK OR OTHER PEOPLE, THIS IS NEW. RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF ATTENTION ON THIS POLICY BECAUSE IT'S A REALLY GOOD POLICY. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT WILL BE TEST DRIVING THIS. SO I WANT US TO MOVE FORWARD IN CONFIDENCE THAT IF IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING OR IF WE GET CONFUSED, WE TALK ABOUT IT, WE OPEN. I'M CONFUSED. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO READ ALL THE APPLICATIONS, OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVEN'T READ, TELL US. IT DOES NOT MEAN YOUR VOICE IS ANY LESS IMPORTANT. IT DOES NOT MEAN YOUR OPINION IS NOT LESS IMPORTANT. BUT IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND VOLUME. ALEX HAS BEEN REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROCESS TO MAKE THIS WORK, BUT UNDERSTAND TODAY TONIGHT, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A CONVERSATION ABOUT PROCESS, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A CONVERSATION ABOUT POLICY, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS MEETING IS ABOUT. WHAT I WOULD ASK YOU TO DO AS YOU GO ALONG. AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT YOU THINK CAN BE IMPROVED THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE THAT BUGGED YOU? WRITE IT DOWN WHILE YOU'RE THINKING ON IT. WRITE IT DOWN. WHAT'S HOT IN YOUR MEMORY? BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL MEETING TO TALK ABOUT. THE PROCESS, THE POLICY. I'M IMAGINING THAT NOW THAT YOU HAD A CHANCE TO USE A POLICY, YOU PROBABLY HAD A CHANCE TO FIGURE OUT. MAYBE WE NEED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOME THINGS ON IT. SO TO GET US STARTED YOU KNOW, WE WENT OFF INTO OUR LITTLE PRIVATE SPACES AND THERE WAS NO PRECEDENT, AND WE JUST KIND OF STARTED FIGURING OUT THE WAY THAT WE COULD DO THIS BASED ON OUR OWN LIFE EXPERIENCE. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO GO AROUND THE TABLE AND JUST REALLY BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THE PROCESS BY WHICH YOU REVIEWED IT AND HOW YOU MADE DETERMINATIONS. DO NOT GO INTO DETAIL. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. SO THIS WAY IT'LL GIVE US A A BASELINE ON WHICH TO TO JUST TO MOVE FORWARD ON. ONCE WE'VE DONE THAT AND WE ALL KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THE WAY THAT WE WORKED. MR. HAMBY, THE. DON'T GET THESE OUT OF ORDER. THE APPLICATIONS ARE ALPHABETICAL ORDER FROM THE TOP. HE HAS SOME SLIDES WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH. AS WE MOVE FORWARD, I'M GOING TO ASK EACH ONE OF YOU JUST GO AROUND BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG MEETING. WE ALL NEED TO TALK TO INTRODUCE THE APPLICATION. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE APPLICATION, IT'S YOUR TURN TO LOOK. JUST LET US KNOW. AND AND THAT'S OKAY. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. DID ANYBODY WATCH CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT? DOES ANYBODY THERE. SO YOU'LL NOTICE IF YOU WATCHED IT, WHAT IRRITATED THE CITY ATTORNEY MORE THAN ANYTHING. I NEED SOMETHING ON THE RECORD. RIGHT. WHAT WAS HE HAVING SOMETHING ON THE RECORD HE HAD MENTIONED. OPINIONS ARE WONDERFUL THAT THEY DON'T MATTER. IT'S WHAT'S ON THE RECORD. SO WE DON'T HAVE AN ARTS POLICY, WE DON'T HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN AND WE DON'T HAVE A CULTURAL PLAN. WHAT WE HAVE IS OUR FUNDING POLICY, AND WHAT WE HAVE IS THE TEXAS TWO STEP. THAT'S THE HOT EVALUATION. THOSE ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE ON THE RECORD FOR US TO CONSIDER. SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS, WE HAVE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN A WAY THAT THEY MAKE DECISIONS. SO IF THERE'S AN OPINION, IF THERE'S A COMMENT, IF THERE'S AN IDEA, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO CITE ANYTHING IN THE POLICIES, ONE OF THOSE TWO POLICIES, IF YOU'VE USED LIKE SOMETHING ELSE, ANOTHER DOCUMENT, IF YOU COULD TELL US WHEN YOU DO IT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE RECORD. SO WHEN MR. HAMBY PRESENTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING, MR. HAMBY CAN GO BACK AND SAY, WELL, THIS WAS THE SOURCE MATERIAL FROM WHICH THEY USED. THIS IS ON THE RECORD. AND THEY CAN GO BACK AND SAY, WELL, PAGE TEN ON THIS POLICY ON THE CITY FUNDING POLICY STATES. SO THIS WAS A CONVERSATION. SO WHAT WE DON'T WANT IS TO HAVE MR. HAMBY FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AND NOT HAVE HIM PREPARED, AND HAVE THE CITY ATTORNEY YELL AT THE CITY COUNCIL, BECAUSE THEN THEY WON'T TRUST OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. EVER. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? OKAY. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS I'LL GET THE BALL STARTED, AND THEN I WOULD LIKE I JUST WANT TO KNOW EVERYBODY'S PROCESS. AND THAT WAY WE UNDERSTAND. IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, I TEND TO BE AN OVERTHINKER. I WENT THROUGH ALL THE APPLICATIONS.
I AM A MEMO WRITER. I, I DIDN'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION MY PERSONAL OPINIONS ON WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT I LIKED ABOUT SOMETHING. I DIDN'T LOOK AT, THE ARTISTIC INTEGRITY I LOOKED AT. THIS WAS THE FUNDING POLICY. THIS IS THE HOT TWO STEP. COULD I JUSTIFY THIS AND THIS AT THE SAME TIME? I THEN FOR EVERY ONE I WROTE THIS MEMO, THIS MEMO IS ACTUALLY TO YOU GUYS. BUT BECAUSE IT WOULD LOOK LIKE I WAS TRYING TO PERSUADE YOUR THINKING IN YOUR OPINION, I DID NOT FORWARD IT TO YOU BEFOREHAND. AND SO WHAT I DID FOR MYSELF, BECAUSE I WILL GET INSIDE MY OWN HEAD AND FORGET WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT. I HAVE IN THERE WHY I THINK IT'S ELIGIBLE FOR THIS, WHY I THINK IT'S ELIGIBLE FOR THIS, WHY I DON'T THINK IT'S ELIGIBLE FOR THIS. AND I HAVE THIS DOCUMENT. SO IF WE WANT TO LEAVE IT. SO WHEN WE'RE DONE, I CAN LEAVE IT PART OF THE PUBLIC RECORD. AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO GO AND READ MY NOTES, THEY CAN READ MY NOTES. SO THAT WAS MY PROCESS. I START WITH THE VICE CHAIR AND IF WE COULD JUST GO AROUND. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I TOOK OLD SCHOOL NOTES FOR EACH ONE. I USE TWO DOCUMENTS. THE THE POLICY, POLICY. I FOCUSED ON THE THE REQUIREMENTS, THE ELIGIBILITY, THE FUND LIMIT, THE ELIGIBLE USES REQUIREMENT, THOSE FOR EACH TYPE. AND THEN I USED THE TEXAS TWO STEP. BUT I WAS REALLY STILL KIND OF CONFUSED ON THE FIRST STEP, WHICH IS THE BEDS, HEADS AND BEDS. AND SO PAGE SEVEN OF THIS UNABRIDGED VERSION REALLY FOCUSED IN ON AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE SOME OF THOSE WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE. BUT THAT WAS MY PROCESS. I LOOKED AT THOSE TWO THINGS AND IF IT, YOU KNOW, DID DID THESE THINGS AND IT FOLLOWED THE TEXAS TWO STEP THAT WAS WHAT I BASED MY THOUGHTS ON, THAT'S WHY. SO I KIND OF DID THE SAME THING IN THE BACK. I JUST WENT AND UTILIZED THE POLICY WE'VE ALREADY PUT TOGETHER. AND I KIND OF COMPARED THAT TO THE TYPE OF APPLICATION IT WAS. AND I REALLY KIND OF THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS, OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO ALL LIKE MORE THAN OTHERS OR WHATEVER, BUT I REALLY WANTED TO KEEP IT CENTRALIZED IN THE QUALIFICATIONS AND THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE SET FORTH AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE OBLIGED AND DOES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I USED WEIGHTED THE CATEGORIES FOR THE, FOR THE TWO STEP AND FOR THE ARTISTIC MERIT. THE OTHERS WERE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE SMALLER, AND THAT HELPED ME GET TO A CONCLUSION. I THINK I WOULD REDO THE WEIGHTS. I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE WHAT I WOULD USE AGAIN, BUT IT WAS HELPFUL. THANKS. YEAH, I USED MARIANNE'S RUBRIC AND PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON THE DUNCANVILLE CONNECTION. I WISH I HAD I HAD SEVERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT LOCATIONS, AND I WISH I HAD HAD TIME TO DRIVE AROUND AND SEE SOME OF THESE, LIKE WHERE THE MURAL WOULD GO ON THIS FIRST ONE. AND SO I DID READ THEM ALL AND THINK ABOUT THEM. I DIDN'T REALLY SCORE THEM THOUGH. THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. YEAH. SO I WAS ABLE TO TO GLANCE NOT LIKE THOROUGHLY, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GLANCE THROUGH MOST OF THESE APPLICATIONS. AND THE THING THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS UNIQUENESS IN HOW IT INVOLVES OTHER COMMUNITIES AND HOW THAT COULD, I GUESS, PUT HEADS IN BEDS. YOU KNOW, I KIND OF WOULD THINK ABOUT THAT. IS IT A MORE THAN ONE DAY EVENT OR EVEN IF IT'S A ONE DAY EVENT, IS IT AN ALL DAY EVENT THAT WILL MAYBE PERSUADE PEOPLE TO STAY HERE AND EAT DINNER AND MAYBE JUST GET A ROOM OR SOMETHING? WHO KNOWS? BUT THAT WAS MY PROCESS. THANKS, SIR. TIM. YEAH, I WENT THROUGH THE PDFS ON THE COMPUTER. I THINK I WAS MISSING A COUPLE. PROBABLY LOST IN THE MANY EMAILS. IT'S OKAY. BECAUSE SOME DIDN'T REALLY KIND OF HOW MUCH THEY WERE ASKING FOR IN THE PAST THAT I FOUND I, YOU KNOW, I, I BASED IT ON THE WHETHER OR NOT I QUALIFIED BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING OF IT AND DOCUMENTS TRAININGS WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT WOULD AFFECT TOURISM IN A COMMUNITY. EACH APPLICATION AND ALSO I THOUGHT ABOUT, WELL, WHAT IF THIS IS THE FIRST OF AN ANNUAL THING, YOU KNOW? AND IN THE FUTURE, IT MIGHT BECOME A REALLY BIG THING AND REALLY ATTRACT TOURISTS AND OVERNIGHT STAYS. BUT IF IT'S NOT SUPPORTED FROM THE BEGINNING, HOW CAN IT GET TO THAT PLACE WHERE IT CAN BE BIG ENOUGH TO IN THE FUTURE? YOU KNOW, BE IT, BE A THING? AND SO I CONSIDERED THAT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF IT, I HAD NO, I DIDN'T DO ANY TOTALS ON THE NUMBERS. SO, SO I DIDN'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, JUST THAT WAS MY CRITERIA ON
WHETHER OR NOT ADDED UP TO MORE THAN WHAT WE HAVE. MR.. AMY SIMILAR TO MAC, IN THAT I REALLY TRIED TO THINK THROUGH WHAT OUR OUR KNOWLEDGE OF FUNDS AND HOW THEY APPLY THESE BASED ON THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS DONE BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND MY OWN KNOWLEDGE OF IT, AND THEN LOOKING AT OUR GUIDELINES AS WELL, WHAT WE SET FORTH AS THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND THE APPLICATION OF THEM. I DIDN'T SCORE THEM EITHER. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE WERE GOING TO APPROACH THIS SPECIFICALLY TONIGHT, BUT CERTAINLY READ THROUGH THEM. AND I THINK I THINK SPECIFICALLY, I THINK ONE OF OUR TARGETS HAS GOT TO BE TO REMEMBER THAT IF WE'RE USING THE FUNDS IT HAS TO PROMOTE, IF IT'S THE EFFORT TO PROMOTE, THAT HAS TO BE THERE. I REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TELLING ME IT'S HARD. YOU'RE PREDICTING IS IT GOING TO FOR SURE. YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF LIKE NOT BEING ABLE TO PREDICT THE FUNDING, BUT DOES IT HAVE A LIKELIHOOD OF PUTTING THAT? AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE TO ME, THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY A SPECIFIC CRITERIA BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THROUGH THE YEARS. THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR. ANGELA. OKAY, I'VE READ THROUGH ALL THE APPLICATIONS AND BASICALLY LOOK AT OUR FUNDING POLICY AND WE HAVE FUNDS. AND I JUST USE THE MATRIX THAT MARYANN JUST TOOK TO DIVIDE MINE UP. AND THEN AS I READ THROUGH IT AND DID MY OWN ASSESSMENTS AND SO FORTH, I DID MY OWN INTERNAL SCORING. AND AS YOU'RE HEARING HOW EVERYBODY DOES THINGS, I'VE ALREADY HEARD THINGS THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO IMPROVE. REMEMBER, WRITE THE NOTES DOWN AS WE'RE DOING THIS. SO I WAS TELLING ALEX A JOKE TODAY. I GOT A CALL FROM MARYANN. SHE SAID, WELL, DO WE HAVE A RUBRIC? I SAID, DID YOU MAKE A RUBRIC? NO. THEN WE DON'T HAVE A RUBRIC. MATT CALLS. DO WE HAVE A CHECKLIST? DID YOU MAKE A CHECKLIST? NO. THEN WE DON'T HAVE A CHECKLIST. SO IT'S LIKE WHATEVER WE CREATE HERE TONIGHT IS WHAT'S GOING TO SET THE STANDARD. SO DOES EVERYBODY. IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYBODY KIND OF UNDERSTANDS HOW WE APPROACHED IT. IN YOUR NOTES FOR THE NEXT MEETING, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU FOUND FRUSTRATING ABOUT ACCESSING THE INFORMATION, BE SURE TO PUT IN YOUR NOTES, BECAUSE WE'LL NEED TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN ANOTHER MEETING. SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO AND GET STARTED ON THE APPLICATIONS? OKAY. THESE SLIDE SHOWS ARE VERY, VERY SHORT. FIRST ONE IS BEACONS OF LIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC ART GRANT REQUEST. THE PROJECT SUMMARY, WHICH I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL READ CAITLIN Y. MAGUIRE OF CAITLIN MAGUIRE MEDIA, WILL PAINT A MURAL ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TEXACO BUILDING PROPERTY NEAR BRANDENBURG INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL IN DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS. THE ARTWORK REFLECTS THE YOUTH OF DUNCANVILLE AS RISING CHAMPIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. AS STUDENTS PASS BY THIS PUBLIC ART ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL, THEY WILL BE REMINDED OF THEIR CHAMPION HOOD, WHICH CAN POSITIVELY INFLUENCE THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND BEHAVIOR. IN ADDITION, THE MURAL IS PROJECTED TO INSPIRE, ENRICH AND EMPOWER THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. IT WILL BE ESTEEMED BY BOTH CITIZENS AND TOURISTS AS A LANDMARK THAT CELEBRATES THE SPIRIT OF THE COMMUNITY AND SERVES AS A CATALYST TO SUPPORT DUNCANVILLE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND HAD SEEN CULTURAL, ARTS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE REQUEST. THE TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET AS PUT IN THE APPLICATION WAS $4,053.75. THE REQUESTED AMOUNT IS $3,000, WHICH IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE MAX WITH THE TOP REQUEST FOR THAT GRANT CATEGORY. YEAH. IN HER DESCRIPTION, SHE HAS PUT 41IN BY 42IN. I'M ASSUMING THAT SHE JUST USED THE QUOTATION MARKS INCORRECTLY. AM I CORRECT IN THAT ASSESSMENT? I DON'T KNOW. SO HE'S GOT TO, BY THE WAY, IF YOU STAND UP REAL CLOSE TO IT, IT LOOKS GOOD. SO I WILL. SO I WANT TO HERE'S HOW I APPROACH THIS. AND THEN I WOULD LIKE FIRST OF ALL I WANT EVERY VOICE ON THIS. REMEMBER HE WAS THE GENTLEMAN WHO CAME AT THE LAST MEETING WHO SPOKE. I LOOKED AT TWO THINGS. I TRIED TO JUSTIFY IT BASED ON THE TWO THINGS. I SAID BASED ON HOT RULES. IS IT ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING? I SAID YES, THE PROPOSED MURAL PROJECT QUALIFIES UNDER THE TWO STEP. I SAID IDENTIFY WAYS AS ELIGIBLE PUBLIC ART AS A TOURIST TOURISM ASSET. I ALSO CITED THE DUNCANVILLE 2040 DRAFT TO USE CULTURAL TOURISM ALIGNED WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BY EXPLICITLY BRANDING THE MURAL AS A CIVIC SYMBOL OR CHAMPIONS RISE. IT CONNECTS TO THE CITY'S BROADER IDENTITY, ANYTHING, PARTICULARLY DUNCANVILLE NATIONAL REPUTATION AS CITY OF CHAMPIONS. THIS GIVES THE MURAL SYMBOLIC TOURISM VALUE, ESPECIALLY FOR FAMILIES VISITING FOR SPORTING EVENTS, COMMUNITY FESTIVALS OR CULTURAL PROGRAMING. CONTINUOUS PASSIVE TOURISM ATTRACTIONS. WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT THIS. THE FUNCTION OF A MURAL BEING 24 OVER SEVEN, VISIBILITY AND THE LOCATION ON MAIN STREET. DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT WITH THE TOURISM. HE INCLUDED A QR CODE LEADING TO THE CITY'S WEBSITE, WHERE THE OWNER'S PROFILE, WHICH PROVIDES TRACKABLE DATA THAT CAN MEASURE EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENT TOURISM BEHAVIOR EVEN IF THE MURAL IS NOT ITSELF A TICKETED ATTRACTION, THE DATA STRATEGY DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE KIND OF ACCOUNTABILITY EXPECTED FROM POT FUNDS, AS MISS JACKSON TALKED ABOUT THE TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK. THE APPLICANT REFERENCES MODELS LIKE MIAMI'S WYNWOOD WALLS, WHERE PUBLIC ART CATALYZED TOURISM AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I WENT AHEAD AND AS AN INTELLECTUAL EXPERIMENT AND TO IDENTIFY WHAT WOULD MAKE IT INELIGIBLE. I THOUGHT, WELL, IF THE PROJECT DID NOT ATTRACT OR ATTEMPT TO ATTRACT TOURISTS OR OVERNIGHT VISITORS, IF IT WERE NOT ACCESSIBLE BY THE PUBLIC, IF IT PROMPTED POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS OR PRIVATE NON PUBLIC CONTENT OR EVENTS IF IT REQUIRED AND IF ANY OF HIS DOCUMENTATIONS WERE MISSING. I WENT ON TO IDENTIFY WHETHER IT IS ELIGIBLE BY CITY ARTS FUNDING POLICY. I SAID YES, THAT IT DOES MEET THE ELIGIBILITY ELIGIBILITY. IT TAKES PLACE IN DUNCANVILLE. IT'S PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUDES PROPERTY OWNER PERMISSION. IT FALLS WITHIN THE BUDGET CAP. IT INCLUDES VISUAL ART AS A PRIMARY ARTISTIC MEDIUM, AND IT PROVIDES A COMPLETE APPLICATION PACKAGE WITH A NARRATIVE BUDGET AND DOCUMENTATION. AND I WENT AHEAD AND DOCUMENTED WHAT I THOUGHT WERE THE MERITS BASED ON ELIGIBILITY. TOURISM ALIGNMENT PROJECT IS SITUATED IN A VISIBLE, FREQUENTLY LOCATED LOCATION, DESCRIBED AS PART OF A LARGER EFFORT TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT. IS ALIGNED WITH THE DUNCANVILLE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. COMMUNITY IMPACT. THE THEME YOUTH EMPOWERMENT CIVIC PRIDE IS ROOTED IN THE CITY'S IDENTITY OF CITY OF CHAMPIONS AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. USE OF THE QR CODE TO TRACK YOUR ENGAGEMENT. SO YOU SEE, THAT WAS MY APPROACH TO LOOK AT ALL OF THESE. I LOOKED AT THE POLICY AND TRIED TO APPLY THE POLICY, THE POLICY TO THE PROJECT. THAT WAS MY APPROACH. SO I JUST WANTED TO OPEN UP. I'M NOT GOING TO START EVERY CONVERSATION LIKE THIS AND READ IT. I JUST WANT TO START OFF JUST TO GET THE BALL ROLLING. SO IF WE COULD ALL TAKE A MOMENT SINCE THIS IS OUR ACTUALLY OUR VERY FIRST APPLICATION TO LOOK AT, TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THE PROCESS, HOW IT ALIGNS WITH GO, GO. WE SEE EXAMPLES OF HIS WORK. DID YOU HE DID NOT SEND ANY SAMPLES. BUT I DECIDED TO. AND YOU CAN TELL ME IF YOU WANT ME TO DO THIS AS BEST I CAN DURING THIS MEETING. HE DOES HAVE AN INSTAGRAM, AND THIS IS ONE SAMPLE THAT'S RIGHT TOWARDS THE TOP OF HIS COMPLEX. YEAH. VERY NICE. AND AT THE JUNETEENTH ONE OF THE JUNETEENTH EVENTS HE PARTICIPATED IN, HE ACTUALLY DID A PAINTING OR DRAWING DURING THE EVENT. THAT FIRST ONE. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. OKAY. WHILE WE WERE THERE, HE DID BECAUSE PEOPLE CAME UP AND TALKED TO HIM. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK IN PROCESS. SO. BUT, I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE IF IF THERE'S ONES THAT WE ALL FEEL HAVE MERIT, WE CAN JUST QUICKLY LIKE YAY OR NAY GO DOWN AND THEN AS A GROUP AND, AND THEN, THEN WE COULD LOOK AT TOTALS, START PUTTING IN TOTAL AMOUNTS OF THE YEAS AND GO, WOW, OKAY, NOW WE GOT TO REALLY BE DISCERNING. SO MAYBE WE COULD IN TERMS OF A WAY TO GET THROUGH THIS EFFORT. DOES ANYONE WANT TO TALK ON THIS APPLICATION OR YOU WANT TO GO WITH THE YEAS AND NAYS. HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS? I JUST HAD A COMMENT, SO I'M WONDERING IF HE MAYBE MEANS 41IN, WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT THREE FEET BY 14FT IS THIS DIMENSION WOULD BE VERY SMALL IF THIS IS WHAT HE MEANS. YEAH. THAT WAS MY QUESTION. NOBODY ANSWERED IT YET, BUT NOBODY KNOWS. SO. BUT WE'RE ASSUMING OKAY. AND GENERALLY IF WE PICKED A MURAL WE WOULD SEE MORE SAMPLES. BUT HIS DESCRIPTION IS INTERESTING, BUT IT'S A LITTLE VAGUE. YOU KNOW, I THINK HE WOULD DEPICT YOUTH STYLIZED AND REALISTIC, SORT OF, MAYBE IN THE STYLE THAT WE JUST SAW. SO THIS IS A QUESTION BASED ON THE POLICY, IF ANYBODY CAN RECALL.
DOES THE DOES ANYTHING IN THE POLICY RECOMMEND A PROCEDURE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY. YOU MAY COME IN AUGUST. SO RIGHT NOW I'D LIKE TO ANSWER ANNE'S QUESTION. WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE PROCESS. WILL THERE BE EVALUATION. WELL THERE'S NOT A POLICY FOR THAT. THERE COULD BE. SO WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE FUNDING DECISIONS WITHOUT A POLICY DIRECTIVE. SO WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICATION IS WRITTEN. COVERS THESE TWO THINGS WITH THE EXPECTATION WHEN THE WHEN A POLICY IS ADOPTED THAT THAT POLICY CAN BE CARRIED OUT BY THE APPLICANT. I THOUGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS. FOR THIS SPECIFIC ONE, I THOUGHT IN MOST OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE INSTAGRAMS AND STUFF. I DID TAKE TIME TO LOOK UP SOME OF THEIR WORK, OR IF I WASN'T SURE WHAT THEY DID. I LOOKED AT THEIR COMPANY. I LOOKED AT THEIR ENGAGEMENT ONLINE. I ALSO GOOGLED THEM. AND WHAT I REALLY LIKED ABOUT THIS ONE IS IT REACHES OUR YOUTH. AND THAT'S ONE OF OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT ALSO GIVES US A CHANCE TO COLLECT SOME KPIS. AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY GOOD FOR US. RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT QR CODE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE CITY, BUT IT ALSO MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO CONNECT AND GOES DIRECTLY TO A DAC SURVEY OR ANY INFORMATION THAT WE WANT TO COLLECT. SO WE COULD PROBABLY STEER THAT. AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS REALISTIC JUST AS FAR AS THE PRICE OF MATERIALS. RIGHT. THE AVERAGE COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3000 TO 6500. WE JUST DID A MURAL LAST MONTH. IT'S A MURAL, RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S AROUND THE PRICE JUST FOR THE AVERAGE ONE. RIGHT. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A REALLY GOOD PRICE FOR WHAT HE'S ASKING. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, I THINK THAT IT ALIGNS WITH MAKING THE CITY LOOK GOOD AND CARING ABOUT THEIR KIDS. RIGHT. AND SO I THINK THAT KIND OF HELPS US OUT IS MAKING SURE FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ALSO THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'VE HAD, HE STAYED WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF THAT. SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD THING. AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD GUESS. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I MEANT. I'M I'M CONCERNED ABOUT I LIKE THIS ONE. I LIKE THIS APPLICATION. BUT MY CONCERN HAS TO DO WITH ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS. AND IT'S THE HOT THE HOT TUB ACCORDING TO WHAT I FOUND OUT DURING READING. YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ THE WHOLE PAGE, BUT THERE MUST BE LIKELY TO DO. LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN. TWO THINGS HAVE TO BE IN PLACE FOR THAT FIRST CRITERIA THAT HEADS IN BEDS. ONE IS TO DIRECTLY PROMOTE TOURISM, WHICH I THINK IT DOES, OR MOST OF THEM DO. BUT THE SECOND PART, IT SAYS AND DIRECTLY PROMOTE THE CONVENTION AND HOTEL INDUSTRY. INDIVIDUALS PLANNING OR TRAVELING TO A TO A DIFFERENT FROM A DIFFERENT CITY OR COMING FOR AN EVENT, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. BUT IT NEEDS TO DIRECTLY TIE TO THE HOTEL CONVENTION ACTIVITY AS WELL AS THE TOURISM. AND THEN IT SAYS HERE IF THE FUNDED EVENT OR FACILITY IS NOT REASONABLY LIKELY TO DIRECTLY ENHANCE TOURISM AND THE HOTEL CONVENTION INDUSTRY, LOCAL HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX CANNOT BE LEGALLY USED. AND THEN IT SAYS THEY NEED TO HAVE A PLAN FOR HOW THEY'RE GOING TO MARKET. TO ATTRACT TOURISTS AND HOTEL GUESTS. IF THE ENTITY DOES NOT ADEQUATELY MARKET ITS EVENTS TO TOURISTS AND HOTEL GUESTS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO PRODUCE AN EVENT THAT WILL EFFECTIVELY PROMOTE TOURISM AND HOTEL ACTIVITY. I'M ALMOST DONE. THE FUNDED EVENT HELD IN A VENUE THAT WILL LIKELY ATTRACT TOURISTS AND HOTEL GUESTS. I'M SORRY. A CITY OR DELEGATED ENTITY SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER WHETHER A FUNDED EVENT WILL BE HELD IN A VENUE THAT WILL LIKELY ATTRACT TOURISTS AND HOTEL GUESTS. A COMMUNITY CENTER IS MUCH LESS LIKELY TO ATTRACT TOURISTS. UNLIKE LOCAL PERFORMING ARTS VENUES, MUSEUMS OR CIVIC CENTERS WHICH ARE LIKELY TO ATTRACT TOURISTS AND HOTEL GUESTS. SO IF AN EVENT IS IN A COMMUNITY PICNIC, A LOCAL PARADE, AN EDUCATION CLASS OR SIMILAR TYPE OF EVENT IS NOT LIKELY TO ATTRACT TOURISTS AND HOTEL GUESTS. SO MY MY FEAR THAT OUR WEAK LINK IS THE HOTEL. PART. THEY'RE NOT IF THEY'RE NOT BOOKING A LOT OF WHAT I CALL IT,
A BLOCK OF HOTEL ROOMS, THEN IT'S NOT LIKELY TO BE CONSIDERED. THAT'S WHAT AMY WAS SPEAKING TO. WELL, YEAH. AND I THINK THAT AS I'VE ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD IT AND BEEN TOLD A LOT OF TIMES, EVEN ONE NIGHT QUALIFIES REALLY FOR THE ARTS. BUT I'M KIND OF WITH YOU. I THINK IT'S A FANTASTIC APPLICATION OF WHAT? BRINGING THE ARTS TO DUNCANVILLE. I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THERE ON PUTTING ANY HEAD IN BED. I MEAN, BASICALLY, UNLESS WE THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO BRING IN AN ARTIST WHO WAS GOING TO STAY IN ONE OF THE HOTELS FOR A NIGHT OR TWO WHILE THEY WERE PAINTING IT. THEN WE CHECKED THAT BOX. WE'VE GOT IT BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TO DO A BLOCK. THAT'S ALWAYS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN IN THERE FOR YEARS. SO THEY ASK IF YOU'RE GOING TO AND I WAS NO, I'M NOT GOING TO DO A BLOCK, BUT I AM GOING TO PUT HEADS IN BEDS. AND SO IF THERE WERE, IF THEY COULD JUST SHOW AND I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS AFFECTS POLICY, SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE. I KNOW IN PREVIOUS YEARS WHEN IT WAS CITY COUNCIL, SOMETIMES THEY WOULD SAY, I MEAN WE LOVE THIS. ASK THAT WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION. PERHAPS IT COULD BE RECONSIDERED THE NEXT GRANT CYCLE IF IT'S NOT PROVEN NOT. I'M NOT I'M NOT RECOMMENDING THAT OR NOT. BUT I'M SAYING I DON'T KNOW IF WE ALLOW FOR THAT, BUT I THINK IT'S A FANTASTIC PROPOSAL. I THINK WE NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW IT MIGHT IMPACT HOTEL STAYS IN ORDER TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT IT QUALIFIES. I AGREE, BUT I ALSO THINK TOO LIKE THE LOCATION WHERE THIS IS AT IS, YOU KNOW, MAIN STREET, THAT'S WHERE ALL OF OUR EVENTS HAPPEN. IT'S GOING TO BE NEAR OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT. IT'S NEAR LIKE OUR RESTAURANTS, OUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND STUFF. SO THINGS WILL BE HAPPENING. PEOPLE WILL TAKE PICTURES, PEOPLE WILL THINK LIKE, OH, THAT'S COOL, LET ME STOP BY AND BRING OTHER PEOPLE. BUT ALSO THAT QR CODE COULD LEAD TO, LIKE OUR CITY OF DUNCANVILLE WEBSITE AND THINGS TO DO. AND SO THEY AUTOMATICALLY GET THE LIST OF WHAT THEY CAN DO WHILE THEY'RE WHILE THEY'RE HERE TAKING PICTURES. AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF THAT COUNTS, BUT I WOULD I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD KIND OF COUNT TOWARD LIKE, HOT BUNS MAYBE, YOU KNOW, SO BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO HAVE ANYTHING THAT IS PUBLIC ART BE JUST VERY DIRECTLY KEYED TO THAT. BUT HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB IN EXPLAINING WHY IT WOULD. AND HE USES THE WORD TOURISM A LOT AND HAS A COMPARISON IN MIAMI. SO I THINK FOR WHAT IT IS, I THINK THAT'S AS GOOD AS IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE IF WE'RE TO BE AT A SCHOOL. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO THINK ABOUT THE TOURNAMENTS, ABOUT VOLLEYBALL, WHETHER IT'S FOOTBALL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN FOR THAT. JUST BEING A COACH AND ALSO BEING A MOM, YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO ALL THESE OTHER CITIES FOR THESE TOURNAMENTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, WHETHER IT BE ON THE WEEKEND, YOU KNOW, LOTS OF YOU DO STAY BECAUSE YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE DRIVING BACK, RIGHT? SO I THINK THAT JUST IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT TESTAMENT TO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. I THINK MURALS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR THREE YEARS. WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT THE MURAL ON THE. WHAT IS THAT THING CALLED THE FIELDHOUSE? AND WE STILL HAVE IT. RIGHT. BUT SO I THINK THAT THIS IS THE THING ABOUT IT IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS EMPLOY PEOPLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO. RIGHT. AND WE WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE ARE TURNING AROUND AND TURNING UP THE HEAT ON BEING ABLE TO SAY IS, IS THIS GUESS WHAT? WE CAN'T DO IT. BUT TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK. AND BEING ABLE TO SAY IS THIS GUESS WHAT? WE'RE WE'RE ALLOWING THESE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP US NOT ONLY LOOK GOOD, BUT TO FOSTER A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT AND SPEAK POSITIVELY ABOUT THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. SO TO ME, I THINK THAT THAT'S THE KEY. AND THAT WAS THE LAST ONE FOR ME. I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL FUND, THE BEACON OF LIGHT PROJECT, AND THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. SECOND, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON THIS? OKAY. GO AHEAD. I'M ALL FOR IT. IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET PAST THAT AND HOTEL. QUESTION IS, WHO WILL BE THE PERSON THAT ULTIMATELY SAYS THIS QUALIFIED OR DIDN'T KIND OF THOUGHT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT THEN THEY REMOVED THAT TO US. RIGHT. SO ISN'T IT OUR JOB AND AND THEN DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A LAWYER TO, TO REALLY COME UP WITH THE FINAL CONCLUSION HERE OR. I'M NOT SURE. SO AFTER WE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, WOULD IT GO TO THE STAFF TO MAKE SURE THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE THERE'S NO RED FLAGS BEFORE IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL? THE ARTS FUND POLICY IS THAT YOU ARE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL, WHETHER YOU REJECT OR REJECT OR APPROVE. WHETHER YOU UPVOTE OR DOWNVOTE, RECOMMEND OR NOT RECOMMEND. IT'S GOING TO CITY COUNCIL. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO MAKE THE DECISION. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE ULTIMATELY GOING TO WRITE THE CHECK. SO SOMEONE ON COUNCIL WILL BE THE ONE TO DECIDE IF IT'S ACTUALLY FITS THE CRITERIA.
IT WILL TAKE IT THROUGH FURTHER BEFORE IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL AS IT GOES. CORRECT. I'M SORRY. CITY COUNCIL MAKES THE LAST APPROVAL. CITY COUNCIL MAKES THE LAST APPROVAL ON BOTH OF THEM. CITY COUNCIL? YES. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE RECOMMENDING EVERYTHING, IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL. AND THEY MAKE THE FINAL DECISION ON ALL THESE, CORRECT? YES. PER THE POLICY, IF YOU RECOMMEND OR DON'T RECOMMEND, BOTH ARE GOING TO GO. SO SOMEONE HAS TO VET THEM BEFORE CITY COUNCIL AND GETS TO CITY COUNCIL. SOMEONE'S GOING TO BE THE CITY ATTORNEY IS GOING TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THE AGENDA. CITY MANAGEMENT, THE CITY ATTORNEY LOOKS AT EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON THE AGENDA BEFORE IT GOES TO THE CITY COUNCIL. BUT I DO. I'M SORRY, A QUESTION ABOUT OUR PROCESS. IF WE VOTE YES, SAY IF AFTER OUR CONSULTATION ABOUT ALL OF THEM, MIGHT WE CONSIDER ADJUSTING THE TOTALS BASED ON WHAT WE'VE. YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION. WELL, YOU MAY TURN AROUND AND RECOMMEND SOMETHING AND SAY, HEY, I APPROVED THEM INSTEAD OF $10,000. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD APPROVE THEM FOR 7500. LIKE FOR SOMETHING THAT. BUT BUT AS WE ADD UP ALL THIS AND WE COME TO THE END OF IT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO GO BACK AND MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS OR IS IT ONCE WE VOTE ON IT, IT'S SAID THE AMOUNT IS SET. WELL, I THINK BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE END OF THIS PROCESS, WE'RE GOING TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND. AND SO HOW DO YOU GUYS WANT TO DO THAT? DO YOU WANT TO I MEAN, THERE'S STILL A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE. TIM HAD MENTIONED CREATING YEAS AND NAYS STACKS BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT. I THINK WE JUST I THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. I THINK AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH HERE, LIKE SOME OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER THAN OTHERS, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY'RE KIND OF WITHIN THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS STEP. WE HAVE WE'VE TAKEN THREE YEARS. IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS, RIGHT. AND SO I THINK THAT FOR THIS PROCESS TO MAKE IT EASIER, WE CAN JUST GO THROUGH THEM. AND THEN IF WE RECOMMEND IF WE GET AND SAY, HEY, I KNOW THEY'RE ASKING FOR 10,000, BUT WE ARE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, LET'S GO FOR 65, RIGHT? LET'S JUST DO IT ON EACH APPLICATION, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A LONG, DRAWN OUT PROCESS. I THINK THAT EVERYONE'S PROBABLY TAKING A LOOK AND I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH THEM. ALEX, THE NOTES ARE AWESOME AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL BE DOING THE MOST. SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AND SO BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS LIKE IMPORTANT, RIGHT. TO, TO FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE VISIBILITY OF OUR FOOTPRINT AROUND THE CITY BECAUSE WHEN, WHEN ALEX TOLD US, I MEAN, FOR ME, WHEN ALEX TOLD US THE AMOUNT THAT WE WERE WORKING WITH TO TO TO GIVE THEM. I DID JUST THAT FOR MYSELF. MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO OKAY. YEAH. BECAUSE SOME OF THE GRANT REQUEST PROPOSALS. SO FOR ME IF I MAKE A MOTION, I MAY CHANGE THE AMOUNT. AND THEN YOU ALL CAN VOTE IT OVER THERE. OKAY. AND REMEMBER, WE MAKE MOTIONS IN THE POSITIVE. YEAH. OR DO YOU WANT TO WATCH YOUR. DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE. YOU WANT TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS? WELL, I STILL THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE THE CAVEAT OF HE HAS PUT 41IN BY 14IN. AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE LEGALLY THAT SOMEBODY CHECKS WITH HIM, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE POLICY FOR OUR SIZE. NO, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A POLICY ON SIZE. BUT WE WOULDN'T, WOULD WE? WELL, I MEAN, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME THAT 41IN THAT IS NOT IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME THAT, BUT LEGALLY. YEAH. BUT I THINK THE MAIN THING I DON'T THIS IS JUST ME, BUT I THINK THAT THERE IS NOT A POLICY ON SIZE ANYWAY. I WOULD THINK THAT NO ONE'S MAKING A 41 INCH SOMETHING ON THE SIDE OF THE WALL IN SCHOOL, BUT I DEFINITELY GET THAT. BUT I THINK THAT ONCE, LIKE, WE APPROVED THIS AND IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL, RIGHT? THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD REQUIRE CERTAIN THINGS. CORRECT? SO, SO SAY, LET'S SAY THIS GETS APPROVED. ALEX. HOW DOES THAT WORK? THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD SAY, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO SAY, OKAY, THIS GETS APPROVED. AND THEN WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP OF THE PROCESS? SO THIS IS WHAT I PROPOSED TO CITY MANAGEMENT TODAY, IS THAT FOR THE AUGUST 5TH MEETING, I WILL BRING TO THEM THE DURING THE WORK OF BRIEFING SESSION, THE RESOLUTION SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THAT IN MIND FOR THE NEXT AUGUST MEETING. THEN, BASED ON YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OR AGAINST, I AM GOING TO INVITE ALL 15 TEAM TO COME AND TO THE BRIEFINGS AND PRESENTATIONS PORTION OF THE OPEN PART OF THE MEETING, THE REGULAR MEETING, AND GIVE THEM A22 MINUTES TO MAKE A SLIDESHOW PRESENTATION AND ALL OF THAT. THAT WILL GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY OF YOUR CONCERNS. I COULD, I MEAN, AND YOU CAN, I WOULD THINK, ADD TO YOUR MOTION, I RECOMMEND, BUT YOU COULD ALWAYS PUT IN A BUT WE WANT THIS OR WE WANT THIS ADDRESS BEFORE IT GOES TO COUNCIL.
OR YOU CAN PUT IN YOUR CONSENT YOUR THING THAT YOU WANT TAKEN CARE OF. BUT THAT'LL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SAY WHEN I REACH OUT TO HIM AND SAY, OKAY, YOU'RE GOING TO THE NEXT STEP. I'M INVITING YOU TO DO A YOUR YOUR TWO MINUTE ELEVATOR PITCH. RIGHT. CAN CAN THE THE ARTS COMMISSION WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE MEASUREMENTS THAT YOU PUT ON ON YOUR THING. SO THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE IN THE PACKET THAT CITY COUNCIL WILL READ. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THAT? I LIKE THAT. YEAH. YEAH. BECAUSE BECAUSE MY THOUGHT IS THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING WHO HE IS WORKING WITH IS GOING TO WANT A NICE BIG MEAL. I JUST THINK YOU JUST LOVE YOUR DOG. YEAH, BUT I ALSO THINK YOU PUT THOSE STIPULATIONS ON THERE. LIKE SARAH SAID, I KNOW FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE IF IF WE COULD BRING IN THAT QR CODE, IF WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO LINK TO THE CITY, HAD A, YOU KNOW, THINGS TO DO, PLACES TO STAY, THEN THAT CHECKS THAT TOURISM, THAT CHECKS THAT HOTELS BOX BECAUSE THE THEATER HAS A HAS A PAGE PLAN, A TRIP AND IT'S A LINK, YOU CLICK ON IT AND IT OPENS EVERY HOTEL IN A DIFFERENT WINDOW, EVERY PLACE TO STAY WITH A WAY THAT YOU MAKE THE RESERVATION. AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THAT'S WE'VE DONE OUR BEST. WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO TO GIVE PEOPLE THAT LIKE THAT. RIGHT. SO WE CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT. WE CAN'T GUARANTEE. BUT YOU'RE PROMOTING YOUR YOU'RE PROMOTING THE TOURISM. AND IF THAT QR CODE, WHICH I THINK IS A COOL THING, IF THAT QR CODE, IF THAT COULD BE A STIPULATION. AS WE'RE ASKING FOR THE RIGHT DIMENSIONS. WE JUST NEED WE NEED IT MUST PROMOTE THE HOTEL INDUSTRY. IT MUST LINK TO SOMETHING, WHETHER IT'S THE CITIES OR THEY CAN LINK TO THE THEATERS. THEY CAN LINK TO SOMETHING THAT SAYS, HERE'S WHERE TO STAY. AND DO YOU WANT THAT INCLUDED IN THE MOTION? I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE DOING THAT. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. HE SAID WE COULD ADD IT TO THE MOTION, BUT I DO THINK THAT THAT WOULD COVER EVERYTHING THEN AND THEN. SO THERE IS A MOTION AMENDMENT AND I CAN ACCEPT IT. I'M LOOKING FOR I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. DO YOU KNOW WHY SHE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO WHAT SHE'S SUGGESTING? I ALWAYS DO WHAT SHE SUGGESTS MY MOTION. AND IF I. THEN I CAN ACCEPT IT. SINCE I'M THE MAKER OF THE MOTION. YES. SO I'LL ACCEPT YOUR FRIENDLY AMENDMENT ABOUT ADDING THE HOTEL TO THE QR CODE AND THE STIPULATION ESTIMATION OF SIZE. SO DO YOU WANT TO? OKAY. OKAY. CAN I ASK THAT BE RESTATED ALL THE WAY THROUGH? YOU CAN ASK. I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT WE FUND THE BEACON OF LIGHT ARTS PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000 WITH THE CAVEAT THAT THE QR CODE AND INCLUDE HOTEL LINKS TO HOTELS AND THAT WE CONFIRM THE SIZE OF THE MURAL. CORRECT IMAGE OF THE MURAL. THANK YOU. AND DOES THE SECOND STILL STAND? I THINK THE SECOND. OH. I'M SORRY. AND I'M SORRY. SECOND. OH, YES. OKAY. IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT? IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION. OKAY. PLEASE HOLD. I KNOW WE JUST MADE OUR FIRST RECOMMENDATION. ARE YOU GOOD, ALEX? NO. NOT YET. AND BE DONE AT NINE TOMORROW MORNING. WE'RE GONNA. WE'RE GONNA BOOK. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO NEXT. OKAY. LET'S GO. OKAY. THE NEXT SUBMISSION IS BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET PHOTO PROJECT. IT IS A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. THE PROJECT SUMMARY THE BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET PHOTO PROJECT IS A VISUAL STORYTELLING SERIES BY PHOTOGRAPHER TAKIA WALLACE MCMILLAN THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE STRENGTH, RACE, AND IDENTITY OF YOUNG DANCERS OF COLOR THROUGH PORTRAITS TAKEN IN DUNCANVILLE AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. THE PROJECT CAPTURES DANCERS IN BOTH TRADITIONAL AND NONTRADITIONAL SPACES, CENTERING THEM IN A NARRATIVE WHERE THEY ARE CELEBRATED, VISIBLE, AND EMPOWERED. THE RESULTING IMAGES WILL BE EXHIBITED PUBLICLY TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY PRIDE, CULTURAL REFLECTION, AND EXPANDED REPRESENTATION IN THE ARTS. HERE IS THE BUDGET THAT WAS SUBMITTED WITH IT AND THIS IS BREAKS DOWN THE LINE ITEMS. HERE IS A PHOTO FROM THE HER WORK. AND THEN I'VE GOT A COPY. IT'S NOT A GREAT PRINT, BUT THIS IS A SAMPLE OF HER WORK THAT CAN BE PASSED AROUND. SO THE TOTAL PROJECTED BUDGET IS 8000 AND THE REQUESTED AMOUNT IS 3000.
AND AGAIN THIS IS A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT WITH PER YOUR POLICY DISCUSSIONS, THAT IS FUNDING LIMIT UP TO $3,000 FOR A FIRST TIME APPLICANT. SO EVERYBODY'S A FIRST TIME APPLICANT. SO I HAVE A QUESTION. DOES IT I THINK THAT IT IT SUITS THE PROMOTION OF THE ARTS. I THINK IT'S ELIGIBLE FOR CITY FUNDING. DOES IT QUALIFY UNDER HEADS AND BEDS? THAT'S A QUESTION THAT I WROTE IN MIND. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I GAVE IT YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS SORT OF GRADING ON TOURISM, I GAVE MINE. THAT WAS WHEN MY. NOT TOO SURE. A LITTLE BIT DOWN. BUT THEN I THOUGHT, IF SHE'S HAVING AN EXHIBIT HERE IN DUNCANVILLE WHEREVER THE VENUE. AND SHE DID SAY THERE ARE 115. DANCE GROUP. IS THIS THE PROJECT FOR THE 115 BALLET GIRLS? BUT ANYWAYS, THEY COME FROM ACROSS THE THE VARIOUS CITIES AND SO FORTH. AND IF THEY'RE DOING AN EXHIBIT, I CAN SEE MAYBE, POSSIBLY PEOPLE COMING IN AND SEEING THAT THEIR RELATIVES OR FRIENDS CHILD IN A PHOTO EXHIBIT AND THIS I COULD SEE THIS POSSIBLY POSSIBLY BECOME A TRAVELING EXHIBIT AND PROMOTE DUNCANVILLE. OKAY. IS THIS THE ONE THAT WAS THIS PERSON IS DOING TWO BECAUSE MY NOTES SAY THIS IS THE AN ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM FROM OCTOBER 4TH ON DECEMBER. YEAH. BECAUSE OUR POLICY SAYS IT CAN ONLY ACT. OR ONE SAYS APPLICANTS MAY APPLY FOR ONE GRANT FOR FISCAL YEAR. SO I THINK IT'S INTENDED FOR TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. WELL, ISN'T IT THIS IS AUGUST 1ST THROUGH MARCH 1ST. WELL, ONE OF THEM IS WHAT IS THE BALLET? AND ONE OF THEM IS A PHOTO PROJECT. THE OTHER ONE IS BALLET. YEAH. BUT IT'S THE SAME, SAME PERSON. THE DIFFERENCE IS ONE IS A SINGLE GRANT. THE OTHER ONE IS ANNUAL. SO WHAT HE'S SAYING, WHAT'S THE RULE ON THAT? BECAUSE IT'S ONE APPLICANT. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE APPLICANT FOR THAT SPECIFIC CATEGORY. LIKE SO. SO THAT ABOVE ALL OF THE CATEGORIES, BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO THE CATEGORIES, THE TEXT THERE IS APPLICANTS MAY ONLY APPLY FOR ONE GRANT PER CYCLE PER FISCAL YEAR. SO THE QUESTION IS SHE'S SHE'S APPLIED FOR TWO GRANTS RIGHT. SO THE QUESTION IS IS WE NEED TO LOOK AT BOTH OF THE GRANTS AT THE SAME TIME AND DECIDE IF WE WANT TO FUND ONE OR THE OTHER BECAUSE IT CAN ONLY BE ONE OR THE OTHER. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SKIP FORWARD TO THE OTHER ONE REAL QUICK? CAN WE SKIP TO THE OTHER ONE? YES. CAN I SPEAK TO THIS ONE? OF COURSE YOU CAN. THANK YOU. YEAH, I WHAT THIS GRANT ISN'T FOR IS FOR A SPECIFIC EXHIBIT. THE GRANT IS TO PAY THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TO GIVE HER FUNDING SO SHE CAN PHOTOGRAPH THESE THINGS. BUT IT DOESN'T SAY, EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS SOME LINE ITEMS HERE. IT'S NOT SAYING, YOU KNOW, DO THIS PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AN EXHIBIT IN JULY THAT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, AND SO I CAN'T SEE FUNDING SOMEONE TO BEEF UP THEIR PORTFOLIO OR THEIR STOCK FOOTAGE PORTFOLIO, BUT I CAN SEE IF THERE'S A SPECIFIC EXHIBIT INVOLVED THAT'S AN EVENT THAT COULD BRING PEOPLE INTO TOWN, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE DISPLAYED ALL AROUND THE CITY. THAT'S INSTALLATION. WELL, TALK ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS. YEAH, AND IT'S ALL IN PUBLIC SPACES AND PUBLIC SPACES, CIVIC BUILDINGS AND PUBLIC EVENTS. I JUST I GUESS THERE WAS NO. I GUESS MAYBE THEY'RE ALL OVER THE BAY. OKAY, SO THAT THAT'S A LITTLE. LISTEN, THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME. THIS IS THEIR FIRST TIME. AND SO I THINK WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER WE DO THIS IS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SAY, OKAY, WE NEED EIGHT DIFFERENT LINES IN PLACE SO THAT THEY ARE MORE THOROUGH NEXT TIME. WRITE IT DOWN. BUT I THINK FOR THE MOST PART. HEY, ALEX, DID YOU GO OVER THE BOAT? DID YOU GO OVER BOTH APPLICATIONS? NO. NOT YET. THE SECOND ONE IS TO OFFER A WEEKLY BALLET CLASSES FOR LOCAL YOUTH,
AGE 4 TO 12. SO THEY GO EDUCATIONAL KIND OF GRANT GOING TO EMPOWERMENT THROUGH BALLET. THE APPLICATION IS FOR AN ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM GRANT, WHICH IS FOR NONPROFITS. BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET IS EXPANDING ITS EMPOWERMENT THROUGH BALLET COMMUNITY CLASS PROGRAM TO DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS, TO SERVE AT RISK YOUTH AGES 4 TO 12 WITH FREE BALLET TRAINING. THIS INITIATIVE USES DANCE AS A TOOL TO FOSTER PHYSICAL FITNESS, EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE, AND POSITIVE MENTORSHIP IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THROUGH ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT. THE PROGRAM HELPS YOUNG PARTICIPANTS BUILD CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE, AND A SENSE OF BELONGING. THERE IS THE LIST. THE ITEM, THE ITEMIZED LIST. TOTAL PROJECTED BUDGET AMOUNT IS 10,200. AND THEN THE TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET TO 10,200, AND THE REQUESTED AMOUNT IS $5,000. I COULD NOT SEE HOW THIS QUALIFIED AS BEING ELIGIBLE AT ALL. BUT TALK ABOUT IT HERE. WHY NOT? TO ME, IT'S A GREAT THING FOR A NONPROFIT TO BE DOING. THE ORGANIZATION IS PROFESSIONAL AND THEY'VE GOT A GOOD TRACK RECORD, A GOOD TARGETED GROUP. BUT IT'S VERY LIMITED AS FAR AS ENGAGEMENT OF ANYBODY ELSE. AND DOESN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT HOW. I MEAN, SHE HAS SOMETHING HERE, BUT IT DOESN'T TALK ABOUT TOURISM AT ALL. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ADD FOR CONSIDERATION, THEY DID SUBMIT THAT THEY ARE RECOGNIZED AS A 501 C3. THEY ARE RECOGNIZED AS A NONPROFIT. THAT EVIDENCE. THAT'S RIGHT. BUT THAT IT'S A GOOD GRANT. YES, IT'S A GOOD. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO THINK ABOUT. WE CAN REALLY LOVE A PROGRAM. WE CAN LIKE, THINK IT'S THE BEST THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. BUT IF IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE, IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE. THAT'S NOT A THAT'S NOT AN OPINION ON THE ELIGIBILITY OF THIS. I'M JUST SAYING YOU LOVE THE PROGRAM BUT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IT. SO LET'S LOOK AT THESE TWO GRANTS. WHICH, WHICH? WHICH OF THESE TWO DO YOU THINK IS MORE ELIGIBLE OR MORE DESIROUS THAN THE OTHER DESIRABLE? WELL, CAN I TALK ABOUT THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE THE BOTH OF THEM? AND THINGS OF THAT. RIGHT. I THINK THAT WHAT I DID LIKE ABOUT WHEN I DID FIRST OF ALL, THEY HAVE A HUGE PRESENCE. AND IT'S FURTHER, OF COURSE, FROM DUNCANVILLE. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT ALLOWS THEM TO BRING IN MORE PEOPLE. IT'S JUST LIKE RON SAID EVEN EARLIER WITH THE ART INSTALLATION AROUND TOWN. I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IF I KNOW MY NIECE HAS GOT A LA PITCHER UP AND DOWN, RIGHT? SO I DO THINK IT DRIVES TOURISM. I THINK FAR AS THE YOUTH ONCE AGAIN, I THINK I ALWAYS REMEMBER, LIKE, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TOUCH POINTS WITH YOUNG PEOPLE, RIGHT? AND I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS GOOD. I THINK THAT IT'S ALSO GOOD THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INVITING THE EXCITING THE COMMUNITY TO. ALSO FOR THE OTHER ONE IS TO PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF PROGRAMING FROM A 500 1C3 THAT PROMOTES DANCE, RIGHT. AND TO INTRODUCES OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO DANCE AT AN EARLY AGE, ESPECIALLY THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE UNDERSERVED. OR THAT MAY JUST NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AVAILABLE. SO I DO LIKE THAT. I DO THINK THAT FOR THE PROGRAMING, THE PROGRAMING FOR AGES 4 TO 12 I KNOW THAT I KNOW DANCE IS EXPENSIVE. SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD INITIATIVE. I'M NOT CERTAIN IF IT FITS DIRECTLY INTO THE GUIDELINES OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, BUT I DO THINK THAT A MAJORITY OF IT DOES. SO WE KNOW AT THIS POINT THAT WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS ONE FROM THE COMPANY AND ONE FROM THE OWNER. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE, RIGHT? SO THE QUESTION BECOMES IS, IS WHICH ONE DO WE FEEL IS MORE PARALLEL TO THE RESTRICTIONS AND THE REQUIREMENTS PUT FORTH, I THINK THAT. I THINK THAT THE ONE IS REALLY A WONDERFUL ENDEAVOR. I DON'T KNOW THAT I THINK IT FITS WITHIN THE ARTS COMMISSION GUIDELINES, BUT THE ONE WHERE WE'RE FUNDING THE DANCE REQUESTED TO FUND THE DANCE ITSELF. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL. I HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE, THE THE PHOTOGRAPHY ONE ONLY BECAUSE I WANT SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC. THE RESULTING IMAGES WILL BE EXHIBITED IN AN ACCESSIBLE COMMUNITY LOCATIONS SUCH AS LIBRARIES, CITY BUILDINGS, AND PUBLIC EVENTS. I WOULD HAVE LIKED SOMETHING TO SAY. MORE SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE AGREEMENTS WITH THESE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET PERMISSION TO PUT IT IN PLACES. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC THAT WE LIKE. WE KNOW WHERE THE MURAL IS GOING TO BE. WE KNOW THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT OR BASED ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
WE'VE DONE IN THESE LOCATIONS SO LOCATION SO THAT WE KNOW THAT WE'RE FUNDING THE PUBLIC ART AND NOT. AND IT'S GOING TO END UP IN A SCHOOL LIBRARY THAT THE PUBLIC CAN'T GO TO. OR SOMETHING. SO I WAS HOPING FOR A MORE SPECIFIC. ONCE AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE ANY REQUIREMENTS, RIGHT? NO, I KNOW, I'M JUST SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE DEFINITELY LIKE, AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS, TO TAKE THOSE NOTES AND BE ABLE TO SAY, LIKE RON SAID. SO THE NEXT TIME, YOU KNOW, I THINK THESE ARE ALL GREAT THINGS, LIKE IN YOUR I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT OTHER PUBLIC SPACES. HOWEVER, WE DON'T KNOW. THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY HAD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM. I KNOW THAT IF YOU LOOK ON THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL AS THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY THEY HAVE THEIR EVERYWHERE. SO I THINK THAT ONCE AGAIN, WE JUST GOT TO REMEMBER, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY REQUIREMENTS THAT REQUIRE THEM TO TELL US THAT. SO WE CAN'T REALLY UTILIZE THAT IN THE RUBRIC. NO, BUT WE DO HAVE OUR POLICY WHICH SAYS IT HAS TO PROMOTE TOURISM. AND I DON'T HAVE FOR ME PERSONALLY, THAT DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY TELL ME, PLEASE. I MEAN, THAT'S MY INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY STATED. ANGELA. MAC. ACTUALLY. THERE ARE THREE GRANTS FROM THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT'S BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET EMPOWERMENT THROUGH BALLET AND THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER. THEY'RE ALL SORT OF INTERCONNECTED. IF YOU READ THEM, THERE IS THE JOURNEY PART OF THE JOURNEY THERE. THEY'RE ALL SORT OF INTERCONNECTED THE TWO OWNERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THEY ASKED FOR THREE DIFFERENT FUNDERS TO FUND THE WHOLE YEAR. BUT THAT'S JUST ME. BUT THEY DO HAVE A WHEN I LOOKED AT IT, THEY DO HAVE A A GOOD IMPACT. WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS BRING THE RECITAL PART APART, MAYBE HERE TO DUNCANVILLE, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT BECAUSE I ALWAYS GO TO DALLAS AND THEY SAID THEY'RE LOOKING AT A LOCATION. MY CONCERN WAS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT IS DID YOU DID THEY CONSIDER THE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM, WHICH IS VERY NICE AND RIGHT DOWN THE STREET? I DON'T KNOW IF THEY EVER DID OR NOT. THAT'S A QUESTION WE CAN ASK, BUT THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE THAT. BUT IF THEY FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN BALLET IS, IS WONDERFUL. AND I'D LOVE TO SEE BALLET HERE. IT WOULD PUT PEOPLE IN HOTELS AND THEY WOULD COME TO SEE RECITALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I KNOW WE HAVE GONE OUT OF TOWN JUST TO SEE PIANO RECITALS OF, OF YOUTH AND THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, THAT WE'RE WE'RE PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW. SO AND, AND STAYED AT A HOTEL FOR THAT. SO THEY, THEY IT DOES THAT. MY THING IS I SORT OF WAS LOOKING AT ALL THREE OF THEM SOMEWHAT TOGETHER, AND THEN LOOKED AT REDUCING MAYBE THE AMOUNT OF IT. JUST GIVE THEM A REQUEST UNDER ONE OF THE GRANTS. THAT'S INTERESTING. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT I'M SORRY, I FORGOT BEFORE. BECAUSE THEY'RE INTERRELATED OR RELATED OF THE THREE. I THINK THIS ONE, THAT'S THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE HOT FUNDS TWO STEP, AND A RECITAL OF THAT SIZE AND MAGNITUDE. SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD BE A GREAT DRAW IF IT WAS HERE. YEAH. WELL, YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S THEATER CENTER. YEAH. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY'VE BEEN THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 14 YEARS. YEAH. AND I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE DONE HERE. YEAH. IT HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT. SO AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BIG DRAW. AND IF WE IF WE MAKE THAT CAVEAT THAT IT'S IN DUNCANVILLE, NO, IT HAS TO BE. THEN I WOULDN'T SAY FUND MULTIPLE GRANTS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO, BUT OF THE THREE, I THINK THIS ONE FITS HOT FUNDS AND OUR OUR POLICY. MORE IN LINE. AND SO, SINCE IT'S A BEGINNING SO IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN IN DUNCANVILLE? SHE SAYS THAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR DUNCANVILLE LOCATION. YEAH. WITH OUR LOCATION BEING IN DUNCANVILLE, A LOT OF OUR STUDENTS ARE FROM KNOXVILLE BECAUSE IT'S ONLY ELIGIBLE IF IT'S IN DUNCANVILLE. RIGHT. SO I THINK IF WHEN YOU MAKE A MOTION, IF WE WANT TO DO A CAVEAT SAYING WE WOULD BE WILLING TO GRANT, IT'S FEELING LIKE IT'S JUST KIND OF CAN CAN I, I'D LIKE TO ASK SOMETHING. JUST SO IT'S ON THE RECORD IS IF YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND ILLUSTRATE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE THREE. OKAY. IF YOU LOOK AT BROWN GIRLS DO INK, AND YOU GO AND YOU LOOK AT THE PRIMARY LIST OF INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS OR PLANNING OR
EXECUTING THE PROJECT. YOU'LL SEE WALLACE MCMILLAN AND METZGER AND STRONG. THOSE ARE METZGER. JERNIGAN, CENTER. AND STRONG. BROWN GIRLS DO INK. SO YOU SEE THAT IN IN THAT FORM. AND YOU ALSO SEE THE SAME APPLICANT'S NAME ON THE GRANT, EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS A DIFFERENT ADDRESS FOR THE 3001 THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT FOR THE PICTURES, THE PHOTOS. AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT HER OTHER ONE UNDER JERNIGAN, YEAH, IT ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS PLANNING ON EXECUTING THIS PROJECT IS MR. METZGER AND SHE'S ON SHE DID THE APPLICATION FOR JOURNEY DANCE. SO THEY'RE ALL ALL THREE ARE INTERRELATED. AND SO WHEN I LOOKED AT THAT, MY THOUGHT WAS OKAY BECAUSE WE WERE HAD A LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUNDING AND SO FORTH. MAYBE I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND MAYBE WE JUST GIVE THEM ONE, MAYBE FUN ONE AND MAYBE NOT FUN THE WHOLE THING. I WOULD SAY THE JOURNEY ADVANCE CENTER, I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS WHERE THEY THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER IS DOING THE RECITAL. RIGHT? SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IS THERE THE RECITAL AND THE RECITAL PORTION, THE THE THE SINGLE PROJECT ONE FOR 3001 WAS FOR THE PHOTOS AND THEN THE OTHER ONE, THE OTHER GRANT WAS FOR THE, THE PRACTICING THE ON THE GROUND VALET ON THE LOCATION ON THE SECOND PAGE, IT SAYS THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER. YES. SO THEN WHAT DOES IT MEAN? THEY OWN THE SAME THING? NO, THEY'RE ALL INTERRELATED. IT'S JUST WHAT I'M SAYING. IT'S JUST BY PARTNERING WITH THE JOURNEY. RIGHT. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IT DOESN'T SAY THAT. LIKE, WE DON'T KNOW THAT TAKIA WALLACE MCMILLAN OWNS THE JOURNEY DANCE. THAT COULD BE JUST LIKE AN EXAMPLE. THERE'S PROGRAMING AT THE LIBRARY. YOU SEE THEM SAYING, THIS IS LIKE. SO I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE PRACTICING, LIKE, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE WHO OWNS THE DANCE AND THAT'S WHERE THEY HAPPEN TO BE. AND THEY ALSO APPLIED. SO I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT NAMES OR TWO DIFFERENT ADDRESSES. SO I DIDN'T THINK THAT THEY WERE THREE DIFFERENT ADDRESSES. WELL, YEAH, BUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER IS THE ONE WHO'S APPLYING FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER SAYS SHE WILL COLLABORATE WITH THE JOURNEY DANCE. YEAH, RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S IN HER NAME INSTEAD OF SO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT'S JUST BECAUSE THEY LIKE LIKE IF I TURN MAC HAS A BUSINESS AND I HAVE A BUSINESS AND YOU HAVE A BUSINESS. AND I SAID, OH MY GOD, THE ARTS COMMISSION HAS THIS THING AND WE ALREADY WORK TOGETHER BECAUSE I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M A DANCER, I'M THE BEST DANCER IN THE WORLD, AND I'M PRACTICING AT HIS FACILITY, AND SHE'S THE ONE SELLING. RIGHT. AND SHE HAS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. RIGHT? THAT. SO WHAT I'M JUST SAYING IS, IS, IS JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ALL AT THAT FACILITY DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE PARTNERSHIP IN THOSE BUSINESSES. SO I THINK THAT WE CAN'T ASSUME I DIDN'T ASSUME THAT THE I SAW THE SIMILARITIES, BUT I DIDN'T ASSUME THAT MR. METZGER IS THE SAME PERSON THAT'S DOING THESE THINGS. ARE THEY? SO GIRLS DO MAGIC, I DO BALLET. OH, THAT'S NEXT SEASON. THAT'S. LAST THING WAS BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET.COM LISTED ON THE TEAM. KEOLIS MCMILLEN IS THE FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MIATA. MEXICO IS NOT LISTED ON THAT WEBSITE. GOING OVER TO THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER.COM. GOING TO THE. ABOUT THE FOUNDER AND OWNER IS MIATA FLANAGAN AT THAT IS HER FULL NAME AS PER THE EMAIL COMMENT. THAT'S IN HER NAME. AND NOBODY FROM BROWN GIRLS BALLET IS MENTIONED ON THIS WEBSITE, SO. OKAY. SO AND I WAS AND I WAS WRONG. SO WE ONLY HAVE TWO FROM THE YOUNG LADY MCMILLAN. AND SHE JUST HAPPENS TO BE UTILIZING HER FACILITY. THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE WHEN I AS I READ EACH ONE, IT SEEMED LIKE, OKAY, WE'VE GOT THE PHOTO SHOOT, WE'VE GOT THE TRAINING. AND THEN ONCE WE FINISH THE DANCE TRAINING, THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO THE RECITAL. THAT'S THE WAY IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME THAT THEY'VE ALL JUST APPLIED, RIGHT? BUT I DO THINK THAT'S KIA. WALLACE AND MILLEN AND BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET. ARE PROBABLY RELATED BECAUSE IT'S BROWN PROJECT NOW. I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE SHE'S A PHOTOGRAPHER. SHE'S WELL, SHE'S ALSO SIGNED THE OTHER ONE.
RIGHT. SO BUT WHEN WE GO OVER TO THE DIRTY DANCE THAT THE FOR THE RECITALS, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'RE RELATED. NOW, THEY MAY PRACTICE THERE, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER ONLINE WHEN I LOOKED THAT THEY WERE THE SAME COMPANY AT ALL. SO I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME THAT. NO, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THEY'RE THE SAME COMPANY. THERE'S DIFFERENT COMPANIES OR DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS. YEAH. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY WERE RELATED TO ME. THERE WAS A RELATIONSHIP, BUT THAT'S FINE. YEAH. SO THE JOURNEY OF DANCE CENTER, THOUGH, THAT'S THE ACTUAL DANCE CENTER, REQUESTED THE GRANT. RIGHT. SO THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING AS THE THE PHOTOGRAPHER BECAUSE WE KNOW THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPHER PROJECT. OKAY. AND THEN WE HAVE A BALLET PROJECT. SO THESE ARE THREE DIFFERENT THINGS, RIGHT? RIGHT. SO THEY'RE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE. I THINK THAT. NOW HOLD ON WITH THE BROWN WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT IS THESE TWO PEOPLE, THESE TWO APPLICATIONS, THESE TWO ARE THE SAME. YES, YES. YEAH. BECAUSE SHE IS LISTED ON SOME SWEET PHOTO COM. YES. AS THE OWNER. AND SHE IS ALSO ON BOTH. RIGHT. YEAH. BUT THIS ONE I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THIS WAS THE SAME THING. I THINK THIS IS JUST THE FACILITY. AND SHE PROBABLY TOLD HER YOU NEED TO APPLY TO THIS OR DOING THIS OR WHATEVER, BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT. I DON'T REMEMBER LOOKING AT THEM. THOSE ARE I THINK SHE'S PROBABLY WE'LL LEAVE THAT. WE'LL LEAVE THAT. SO WALLACE MCMILLAN AND BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET ARE THE SAME ONES? YES. AND THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER IS THE FACILITY. YES, YES. REALLY GOOD. GRANTS ADMINISTRATORS HERE ALL THE TIME. ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. DO YOU WANT TO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH THESE? WELL I FEEL WE SHOULD GO TO THE NONPROFIT. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS OF TRYING TO DEVELOP A CULTURAL CENTER OR A CULTURAL DISTRICT IS TO ENCOURAGE NONPROFITS. IT FEELS LIKE THE PHOTOGRAPHY AS FEELS MORE LIKE MARKETING THAN POP UP EXHIBIT OR SOME KIND OF SHOW. IT REALLY FEELS LIKE THEY'RE ON SITE. THERE'S ALL THIS COOL STUFF, TAKE A LOT OF PHOTOS AND MAYBE DISPLAY IT WITH THE PHOTOS UP. IT'S NOT A CONTEST. IT'S JUST YOU'RE DISPLAYING IT'S MARKETING AND MARKETING YOUR STUDENTS OR YOUR MARKETING. SO IT FEELS A LITTLE MORE TO THAT. IF ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE RELATED TO THE TO THE NONPROFIT, IN THAT SENSE, IT'S NOT A BAD THING. AS FAR AS THE RECITAL, I THINK THAT IF WE COULD GUARANTEE IT, I'D GO FOR IT, BECAUSE THAT WILL BRING PEOPLE INTO DOMINO. BASED ON WHAT I DECIDE TO PUT THE RECITAL ON TO THE SIDE. YEAH. SO WHICH ONE'S THE NONPROFIT? I THINK THE FINAL ONE IS THE BALLET. PROGRAMING IS THE PROGRAMING GRANT. I LIKE THAT ONE. LIKE. AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY I THINK THAT THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OF ALL IS I THINK IT'S GOING TO BRING IN PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE BEST SOUTHWEST BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT PROGRAMING AN EXAMPLE, LET'S SAY GOLF, WHEN MY SON FIRST STARTED PLAYING GOLF, THERE WAS NO GOLF AROUND HERE, LIKE THERE WAS NO PROGRAM, THERE WAS NO PRACTICE, THERE WAS NO NOTHING. RIGHT. AND SO I THINK THAT WHAT HAPPENED IS, IS WE HAD TO GO TO CITIES NEARBY. RIGHT. AND SO I THINK THAT FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE A 500 501 C3 CATEGORY. AND I THINK IT REALLY ADEQUATELY IT EMPOWERS THE ARTS, LIKE IN A DIFFERENT FORM. AND I THINK IT'S THE BALLETS FOR ANYONE. RIGHT. SO I DO AGREE WITH TIM THERE THAT IF I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION AS FAR AS THE INSTALLATION VERSUS PROGRAMING, I THINK THE PROGRAMING COULD ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM OTHER CITIES. AND IT MAY EVEN BE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL FOR AND BE ABLE TO SPEND MONEY IN OUR CITIES WHILE THEY'RE HERE WAITING ON THEIR KIDS DURING CLASS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. OR IF THERE WAS A RECITAL OR SOMETHING, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY, OH, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE NIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE DAY OF IT OR WHAT HAVE YOU. I AGREE BECAUSE I THINK LIKE EVEN OTHER LIKE SPORTS, LIKE PEOPLE TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO MCKINNEY OR TO FRISCO TO GO TO SOCCER THINGS. AND THAT TO ME IS I MEAN, FROM MY KNOWLEDGE, IT'S PRETTY UNIQUE, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET. LIKE IT IT I GUESS, LIKE, BRINGS OUT OTHER CULTURES AND OTHER PEOPLE TO BE INTERESTED. AND WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS, YOU HAVE FAMILIES, YOU HAVE FAMILIES. THEY WANT TO DO THINGS AND THEY WANT CONVENIENCE. SO IF THEY'RE ALREADY HERE IN DUNCANVILLE, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S MORE LIKELY THAT THEY'LL STAY OR THEY'LL COME AROUND AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER. THE PHOTO THING I KIND OF TEND TO AGREE WITH TIM, LIKE I THINK IT'S MORE OF A MARKETING THING. I THINK IT'S SO COOL, THOUGH. THESE PICTURES LOOK AMAZING. BUT I JUST THINK IT NEEDS TO BE REWORKED ON HOW IT COULD BRING TOURISM. MAYBE IF IT WAS A GAME LIKE PEOPLE HAD TO COME DO SOME SORT OF SCAVENGER HUNT OR
SOMETHING, OR, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE MAYBE THERE'S A QR CODE WITH IT, OR IT WAS REPRESENTING WHAT THAT FACILITY WAS AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAD TO DO THERE AND WHY YOU SHOULD COME AND STAY, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE REWORKED. BUT THE, THE IF I HAD TO VOTE, I'LL VOTE FOR THE BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET AS WELL. AND I THINK WHEN WE ASK THE CONTINGENCY WOULD BE IS THAT WE ARE PROVIDED AS A PART OF THAT MARKETING. I THINK THE AC SHOULD BE A PARTNER. I'M PRESENTING AS A PARTNER, AND THAT MAKES IT SO GOOD THAT WE'RE PROVIDING BALLET FOR THE YOUTH. THAT WOULD BE ONE OF MY FRIENDS. WOULD YOU CALL IT FRIENDLY? WE HAVEN'T. WE HAVEN'T. WE HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. MATTHEW, YOU HAVE YOUR THE THE THE THING THAT I KEEP IT IN MY HEAD AGAINST IS THE, THE HOTEL THING AND THE WHILE THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE GOOD. IF THERE WAS AN EVENT WHERE THERE WAS A, YOU KNOW, LIKE EASELS UP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OR SOMETHING WHERE IT'S AN EVENT, I COULD SEE THAT. BUT ALSO THE BALLET, WHILE IT FITS OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM GRANT, IT DOESN'T FIT BECAUSE ON THE HOT THING HERE, IT SAYS EDUCATIONAL CLASS OR SIMILAR TYPE EVENT. NOT LIKELY TO ATTRACT TOURISTS AND HOTEL GUESTS. JUST THAT. HOTEL GUESTS. YES. YOU MIGHT HAVE, YOU KNOW, WEEKLY SOCCER GAMES, BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STAY THE NIGHT AT THE SOCCER PRACTICE OR THE SOCCER GAME NECESSARILY. SO I THINK THAT MIGHT BE HARDER. MAYBE I'M JUST STUCK IN MY HEAD BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO DECIDE IF IT'S HEADS IN BEDS. WELL, SO IT'S WORTH MENTIONING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSIONS AT STATE AND CITY COUNCIL AND CITY COUNCIL BRIEFINGS IN THIS ABOUT HOW MUCH WEIGHT IS PUT INTO THE HEADS AND HEADS PART, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY ON WE HAVE A POLICY ON THIS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A BREAK. I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. YEAH. AND I AGREE WITH MATT TO AN EXTENT. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT I THINK IT'LL NEVER BRING ANYTHING DIVERSE TO THE COMMUNITY TO SAY, HEY, LISTEN, GUESS WHAT, THEY HAVE BALLET OR WHATEVER. AND I THINK, LIKE, WE WANT THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO COME TO OUR CITY, EVEN IF IT'S FOR A STAYCATION, EVEN IF WE, YOU KNOW, WE WE RECOMMEND, HEY, WITH THIS PROGRAMING AND THIS, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU'RE DOING IS WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR FINAL PROJECT, WHEN YOU'RE DOING OR WHAT DO THEY CALL IT? AMY. SHOWTIME. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING ON THAT FINAL, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE BALLET CLASS IS OVER AND YOU HAVE THE PROPER OVERSIGHT. YEAH. WE WOULD TURN AROUND AND TELL, YOU KNOW, WE COULD SUGGEST THEM. HEY, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD GET WITH THE HOTELS AND, LIKE, PROVIDE A A STAY OVERNIGHT STAY PACKAGE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. SO LIKE, JUST EVEN WITH SOME EVENTS AND STUFF, WE DO A LOT OF THEM. THEY MIGHT BE ONLY ONE DAY EVENTS, BUT THEY'RE TWO DAY BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE A MEET AND GREET ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT OR WHAT HAVE YOU. SO I KIND OF THINK THAT IT DEFINITELY CAN ATTRACT TOURS BECAUSE YOU HAVE KIDS. PEOPLE CAN COME TO SEE THEIR BABIES AND THEY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT HER BUDGET, SHE DOES HAVE A SHOWCASE. SHE HAD PUT IT IN HER BUDGET TO SHOWCASE. SO I THINK THAT MAYBE WHAT THEY DO IS CULMINATES AT THE END YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY THIS JOURNEY. MAYBE THIS ENDS IN DECEMBER, SO MAYBE NOT. THIS IS A RECITAL. YEAH, THE RECITAL IS NOT UNTIL MAY. THIS THIS PARTICULAR ONE ENDS IN DECEMBER 20TH. THIS IS 4 TO 12. THAT'S 2 TO 18. YEAH. SO. YEAH. SO THIS ONE IS IN DECEMBER, SO SHE MAY HAVE A CHRISTMAS RECITAL, BUT WE DON'T KNOW. SHE IS GOING TO. BUT I DO THINK THAT THEY SHOULD PROMOTE HER. SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR EACH. OH. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. OKAY. SO THE THE BUDGET, I THINK, FOR THE RECITAL, I THINK THAT WHAT KIND OF STEPPED IT OUT IS LIKE. OKAY, I KNOW WE'RE NOT ON THE RECITAL. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS SO CONFUSING. SORRY, TIM, BUT WHEN WE GET TO RECITAL, WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU COOK. YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU TALK, AMY. THEY DO HAVE A SHOWCASE. BUT MY CONCERN IN SPEAKING TOURS AND WHAT I WOULD ATTRACT FOR IT SAYS CULMINATING SHOWCASE IN PARENTHESES, LOW COST IN STUDIO EVENT. SO I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT MAKES IT SUCH A BROAD THING. THAT WOULD BE BEST OR I WANT IT TO EXPAND ON THAT FOR ME BACK HERE ON THE LAST PAGE. IT'S ON THE ON LOW COST STUDIO EVENT PROJECT. SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WELL, NEXT TO THE LAST LINE ON THE BUDGET,
IT SAYS CULMINATING SHOWCASE AT THE SHOWCASE STUDIO EVENT. WELL, IT'S IT'S AN IN STUDIO EVENT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO ATTRACT MUCH TOURISM. WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT THE STUDIO IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECITAL? HOW BIG IS THE STUDIO? DO YOU HAVE ANY DETAILS? WE DON'T KNOW. DO YOU HAVE THOSE DETAILS? NO, I DON'T HAVE THOSE PICTURES. NO, NO, I'M JUST ASKING, LIKE, HAVE YOU SAW THE WAY THAT SHE IS GOING TO BE ON THE JOURNEY DANCE CENTER? OKAY, SO I THINK THAT ONCE AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE REQUIREMENTS, SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE UTILIZING THAT FOR. AND THINGS MAY CHANGE BY THE TIME. RIGHT. I MEAN LIKE, YEAH, WE MAY HAVE OTHER LOCATIONS THAT SHE MAY HAVE A LOCATION, SHE MAY DO REAL BIG. BUT I THINK THE MAIN THING IS, IS DOES IS THAT ONE OF OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR ARTS GRANT APPLICATION IS NOT. SO I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD UTILIZE THAT INFORMATION. I WOULD SAY ANYTHING TELLS ME IT'S GOING TO PUT IN BANDS, AND I GUESS THAT'S MY CONCERN IF I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT, YEAH, THAT'S JUST MY INTERPRETATION OF IT. SO. SHE SAYS IN THE PAST, OUR SHOWS HAVE BEEN HELD AT THE DALLAS CHILDREN'S THEATER. THAT'S. ARE YOU LOOKING? I'M LOOKING AT THE SORRY, THE JOURNEY DANCE ON THAT ONE. ARE YOU AT THE RECITAL? YOU WANT TO BE AT THE RECITAL SO BAD? WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. OKAY. OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO DO I'LL DO 1 OR 2 WAYS. OKAY. I'LL DO THE FIRST ONE. IF WE LOOK AT THE ONE THAT'S INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS THAT WE STARTED OFF WITH, WALLACE MACMILLAN, THE PHOTOGRAPHY ONE, THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. OKAY. SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THAT WE DO NOT THE CITY COUNCIL, THAT WE DO NOT THINK THAT'S A POSITIVE. SO IF YOU CAN MAKE THE MOTION A POSITIVE AND WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR IT OR WE DON'T, OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. OKAY. SO BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU COULD DOWNLOAD IT. OKAY. SO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE FUND THE. DO WE HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION ON EVERYTHING. WE HAVE TO MAKE A RECORD. WELL, I WOULD REALLY LIKE IT IF YOU WOULD DO IT. I WOULD REALLY LIKE IT IF YOU WOULD DO IT, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO GO BEFORE COUNCIL AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE RECOMMENDATION TO FUND, AND THEN WE VOTE IT DOWN BECAUSE WE'RE SO LIKE LAST LIKE LAST NIGHT, IF YOU ARE ALL I AM TRYING NOT TO TAINT THE VOTE. SO IF YOU ARE ALL IN A WELL, NO, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER IF YOU'RE ALL IF YOU MAKE THE MOTION IN THE POSITIVE, EACH PERSON CAN VOTE YES AND AFFIRMATIVE OF THAT, MAKING THAT MOTION GO FORWARD OR NO AGAINST THAT MOTION. SO IT THAT PUTS IT IN A PLACE WHERE IT'S THE MAJORITY. SO IF YOU DO THE THAT THAT THE MOTIONS IN THE SAME WAY SOMEONE TO HELP. SO TO HELP BOLSTER THAT IS AT LAST NIGHT CITY COUNCIL MEETING, COUNCIL MEMBER MATT BRUNET SAID WE ALWAYS MAKE MOTIONS IN THE POSITIVE WHEN THE GROUP ARE OUT THERE FOR, OKAY, CAN I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL FUND THE. BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET PHOTO PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? SORRY. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? MOTION DOES NOT CARE. ALL THOSE AGAINST. ALL OPPOSED. I WAS BEING SUBJECTIVE. YOU KNOW IT WOULD. IT WOULD. OH, THIS IS GOING TO BE A POLICY THING. IT'S GOING TO GO ON MY NOTES FOR NEXT TIME. ALMOST THERE. 1130. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? YES. OKAY. I'D LIKE THAT MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL FUND BROWN GIRLS DO AND BROWN GIRLS DO BALLET PROJECT AND THE AMOUNT OF $5,000. IS THERE A SECOND ON THE MOTION? I SECOND THE MOTION. SECONDED. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION ON IT? HOLD ON. OKAY. SO THE NONPROFIT, WHICH IS THE BALLET.
IS ASKING FOR MONEY SO THAT THEY CAN RENT THE SPACE AT THE DANCE CENTER TO DO THEIR CLASSES, AND THEY CAN HIRE OR THEY CAN PAY SOMEONE TO COORDINATE. AND THEY CAN ALSO PAY INSTRUCTORS FOR ALL OF THAT. AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR PART OF THAT 10,000. OKAY. FOR ELIGIBLE USES FOR NONPROFIT AND USE IT FOR OPERATIONS, PRODUCTION, ARTISTS AND SO FORTH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING TO DO? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, RAISE YOUR HAND. OOPS. HOLD ON, HOLD ON. THIS IS. I WANT EVERYONE TO BE MINDFUL AT 730, SO WE ONLY HAVE AN HOUR AND A HALF. NO ONE SAID, OH, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. OKAY. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? FOR THE RECORD, WOULD YOU SPELL YOUR NAME? MICHAEL JACKSON. T E R. ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON. ARE YOU GOOD? ARE YOU READY, ALEX? YOU VOTED IN FAVOR. OKAY. THANK YOU. JOURNEY DANCE CENTER. YEAH. THE JOURNEY. DANCER. IS THERE A IS THERE A MOTION FOR JOURNEY DANCE CENTER? DO Y'ALL WANT TO DO THAT OR NOT? YOU'RE BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I PUT THESE IN ORDER. I'M SORRY. JUST. LOOK ON YOUR ORDER RIGHT NOW? IT'S A ROTARY. ROTARY? OKAY. THE NEXT ONE. YES. IS. DISHEVELED. ME? THE NEXT ONE IS DUNCANVILLE. PAUSE AND PAINT. IT IS SUBMITTED AS AN ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM GRANT, WHICH HAS A FUNDING LIMIT UP TO $20,000. ELIGIBILITY REQUIRES A 500 1C3 NONPROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATION. THE PROJECT SUMMARY. A DOG FRIENDLY OUTDOOR ART PARTY FEATURING PET THEMED ACTIVITIES, LOCAL ARTISTS, FOOD VENDORS AND FUNDRAISER STATIONS AT ROTARY PARK, KICKING OFF A NEW DOG PARK AND ANNUAL. AFTER THAT. THE TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET IS $10,000. THE REQUESTED AMOUNT IS $10,000. ALEX, WOULD YOU READ THE PART OF THE POLICY ABOUT THE ANNUAL REFRESH? MY THINKING, BECAUSE I THINK OF THAT AS AN ART SERIES LIKE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE IN THE THEATER OR A SYMPHONY ONE ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM GRANTS PURPOSE TO SUPPORT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS PRESENTING A FULL SEASON OF ARTS PROGRAMING. ELIGIBILITY 501 C3. NONPROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATIONS. FUNDING LIMIT UP TO $20,000. ELIGIBLE USES. OPERATIONS. PRODUCTION. ARTIST FEES. RENTAL VENUE RENTAL REQUIREMENT MUST OCCUR IN DUNCANVILLE AND SERVE A PUBLIC PURPOSE. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. CITY AND OR COMMISSION LOGO MUST APPEAR IN ALL MARKETING. SO AS I HEAR THAT AN ANNUAL SERIES IS NOT AN ANNUAL EVENT, SO A SERIES WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THE THEATER DOES, RIGHT? DOES A SEASON OF EVENTS? YEAH, YEAH. PLUS, THIS IS THE ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A BUDGET, DOES IT? I COULD NOT FIND A SPECIFIC. IS THIS ABOUT THE ARTS, OR IS THIS ABOUT THE DOG PARK? A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH, BUT I THINK IT'S ABOUT THE I THINK. WELL, THEY'RE PROMOTING THE DOG PARK. DOG PARK AND UTILIZING AN ARTS PROMOTION. ARTS AS A WAY TO PROMOTE. YES. AND I THINK THAT IT'S A FAMILY. A FAMILY AFFAIR, RIGHT? PEOPLE'S PETS ARE A PART OF THEIR FAMILY. AND I THINK THAT IT ALSO I DON'T KNOW, I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE. I THINK THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT. IT'S ONE OF OUR ONCE AGAIN, I'M GOING TO GO REFER BACK TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PILLARS OF, YOU KNOW, WE'RE UP HERE BASICALLY PROVIDING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND THAT'S OPEN TO EVERYBODY. AND SO I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR YOU, YOU TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT AND SAY, HEY, COME DOWN HERE AND, YOU KNOW, DO SOME ART WITH US, YOU KNOW? AND I THINK THAT'S CUTE. I DO SO WITH FAMILY'S CARS IS A NICE LITTLE THING TO DO.
OR AND I LOVE ROTARY. BUT MY QUESTION WAS, WOULD YOU READ? BECAUSE I WANT US TO TALK ABOUT THAT LINE IN THE POLICY, BECAUSE THE POLICY READS TO ME THAT IT HAS TO BE AN ANNUAL SERIES. THAT'S HOW I READ IT. CAN YOU READ IT AGAIN? FOR THE RECORD, A FULL SEASON, A FULL SEASON, A SEASON. THIS IS A THIS IS AN ANNUAL EVENT. A SEASON WOULD BE LIKE THE SYMPHONY HAS A SEASON. THE THEATER HAS A SINGLE PROJECT, WHICH FIRST TIME IS 3000. AND AFTER THAT WE COULD DO 10,000. BUT I THINK IT FALLS INTO THE SINGLE PROJECT. EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN ANNUAL EVENT, IT'S A SINGLE ANNUAL EVENT, NOT A SEASONAL EVENT. SO THAT'S NOT CORRECT. WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET, SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE 10,000. SAY, IS THERE A BUDGET SOMEWHERE THAT. YEAH. WHAT YOU GET, WHAT YOU SAW IS WHAT YOU GOT. YEAH. THEY JUST TO ME WHEN I LOOKED AT IT IT WAS 10,000. THEY JUST WANT 10,000. THAT WAS IT. BUT I LIKE THE WHOLE I LIKE THE I JUST WASN'T GAME ON. GETTING RID OF THEM THE ENTIRE TIME. WELL, SO THAT BECAUSE ROTARY HAS MONEY. TRI-CITY HAS MONEY. I THINK EVERYBODY LIKES A LITTLE POP. POP PEOPLE. AND I MEAN PEOPLE IN OUR POCKETS ALL THE TIME FOR THEM. WELL, I'M EVEN WONDERING IF IT'S IDENTIFIED CORRECTLY. BECAUSE IF BECAUSE IF IT'S ONCE A YEAR, THAT'S AN EVENT. IF THEY WERE GOING TO DO THIS LIKE A SEASON LIKE YOU WOULD AT THE SYMPHONY, THEN I THINK IT WOULD APPLY TO THAT. I'M NOT SURE IT APPLIES FOR THE WAY THAT ALEX JUST READ IN THE IN THE POLICY. THAT'S, THAT'S THAT'S MY RED FLAG. A SERIES A SEASON IS YOU'RE GOING TO GO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THE OPERA. THERE'S GOING TO BE FIVE OPERAS IN A SEASON. THE QUESTION IS IS IS THE SEASON DEFINED AS THAT AS A REQUIREMENT. LIKE IT'S BECAUSE IS IT A SEASON OR BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE ONE THING A SEASON AND THAT'S YOUR, ANNUAL SEASONAL EVENT. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE Y'ALL EATING A FULL SEASON OF ARTS PROGRAMING. SO IT JUST SEEMS I MEAN, TO ME, THAT DEFINITION WOULD BE LIKE AN OPERA SEASON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW, I THINK I THINK IT'S A COOL PROJECT, BUT I THINK IT QUALIFIES AS A SINGLE PROJECT. AND, AND THAT I KNOW FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN APPLYING FOR MONEY IT'S UP TO THE, THE ENTITY TO SAY HOW MUCH YOU CAN, YOU CAN ASK FOR 10,000 AND ONLY GET THREE. SO, I MEAN, I THINK IT QUALIFIES UNDER THAT SINGLE PROJECT. AND I THINK IT'S A COOL EVENT THAT COULD GROW AND DO SOME GREAT THINGS IN THE CITY. I DON'T THINK IT'S AN I DON'T THINK IT QUALIFIES AS THE THE ANNUAL SEASON, BUT I THINK IT QUALIFIES AS A, AS A, AS AN INDIVIDUAL EVENT. AND I THINK THE ROTARY WOULD PROBABLY BE GRATEFUL FOR WHATEVER THEY GOT. YOU KNOW, WHEN I SPOKE AT THE ROTARY RECENTLY AND THEY WERE WARM AND THEY WERE WELCOMING AND I HAD THE MEMBERS COME UP AND THEY SAY, HOW CAN WE HELP? THE. THE ARTS COMMISSION, THE KENNEDYS OFFERED TO DONATE TO THE ARTS FUND. MY ONLY HANG UP IS I DON'T THINK IT. HAVE WE DEFINED THE SEASON? WHAT A SEASON MEANS? WELL, A SERIES, I MEAN, THAT'S. HAVE WE DEFINED IT? DO WE HAVE A DEFINITION? I WOULD CALL THAT A NO. SO I LOOK AT IT AS AN INDUSTRY. AS AN INDUSTRY. DEFINITION. SO MAYBE THIS IS BETTER. YEAH. I THINK HE'S TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION FOR A FEW, I THINK. WELL, JUST LET ME SAY I THINK THIS IS THE THING IS, IS NOW THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST ME, BUT I I'M HOLDING IT AGAINST YOU RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. NO, BUT I THINK THAT. AND I DON'T WANT I. I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S THERE'S NOT A DEFINED LIKE WE CAN DEFINE IN OUR MIND WHAT WE'RE USED TO. BUT ONCE AGAIN, EVEN LIKE AMY, AMY'S SO WELL VERSED IN APPLYING FOR GRANTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THIS. AND I THINK THAT SOME OF THESE THINGS, WE DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION OF WHAT A SEASON IS. EVERY, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY WE DIDN'T PROVIDE THEM. THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF SEASON. SO I THINK IF THERE WERE A LITTLE SHAKY ON IT, THEY'RE GOING TO BE A LITTLE SHAKY. READ THE READ THE DEFINITION. READ THAT PART THEN. AND I'LL ASK YOU, ALEX, ONE MORE TIME. READ WHAT'S IN THE POLICY ABOUT. THANK YOU ALEX. WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER PART THAT YOU MAY WANT TO CATCH IN THIS OKAY. ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM GRANTS PURPOSE TO SUPPORT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS PRESENTING A FULL SEASON OF ARTS PROGRAMING. ELIGIBILITY 501 C3. NONPROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATIONS FUNDING LIMIT UP TO $20,000. ELIGIBLE USES OPERATIONS. PRODUCTION. ARTIST FEES. VENUE RENTAL REQUIREMENT MUST OCCUR IN DUNCANVILLE AND SERVE A PUBLIC PURPOSE. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. CITY AND ARTS COMMISSION. I THINK IT QUALIFIES FOR A SINGLE. OH, DID YOU WANT ME TO READ A SINGLE? YES. TO SUPPORT A SINGLE PUBLIC FACING ARTS PROJECT OR EVENT ELIGIBILITY. INDIVIDUALS, NONPROFITS, BUSINESSES, CITY DEPARTMENTS, AND THE DUNCANVILLE ARTS COMMISSION FUNDING LIMIT. FIRST TIME APPLICANTS UP TO THREE FIRST TIME APPLICANTS THAT ARE NOT CITY UP TO UP TO
$3,000. NON-REIMBURSABLE REQUIREMENT MUST OCCUR IN DUNCANVILLE AND SERVE A PUBLIC PURPOSE. AND THEN ACKNOWLEDGMENT FOR THE ARTS COMMISSION. SO ARE WE THINKING IT WOULD BE MORE THAT THAN THE WAY THEY CLASSIFIED IT IN THE APPLICATION THEY TURNED IN? BECAUSE IT'S A NONPROFIT. IT'S NOT A NONPROFIT. I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO ME AND THEN YOU BACK TO HIM. SO CAN WE. EVEN THOUGH THEY APPLIED FOR AN ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM, MAYBE THEY JUST CLICK THE WRONG BUTTON. CAN WE CHANGE IT TO A SINGLE PROJECT OR SUPPORT GRANT? BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO ME A BETTER FIT. AND JUST BECAUSE THEY ASK FOR THE MAX DOESN'T MEAN WE EVEN HAVE TO GIVE THEM 3000. WE CAN GIVE THEM 1000 BECAUSE WE HAVE NO BUDGET. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO SPEND IT ON NECESSARILY. AND SO MY QUESTION WAS CAN WE SWITCH IT EVEN TO THE OTHER TYPE OF GRANT. COULDN'T WE DO THAT. I THINK YOU WOULD DO IT THE SAME WAY BECAUSE THEY'RE FIVE AND THREE. THAT'S WHAT I THINK. THEY WOULD PROBABLY GO WITH FIVE OVER THREE. THAT'S THE ONE WE APPLY TO. BUT TIM. MARION. WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S I THINK FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE THE ARTS COMMISSION. I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN ARTISTIC EVENT. I THINK IT SAYS PAINT. YOU'RE GOING TO STICK YOUR DOGS IN THE THING. I MEAN, WHAT'S THE PAINT? BUT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO DO ALL THIS OTHER STUFF THAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED MONEY FOR. BUT THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT OUR COMMISSION. TO MY MIND, IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE MONEY FROM THAT DOG EVENT AWAY FROM A REAL ARTS THING, THEN I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF DOING THAT. SECONDLY, IT SAYS 501 C3 ARTS PROGRAM. IT SAYS NONPROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATION ROTARY'S NOT AN ARTS ORGANIZATION PER SE. IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF AUDIENCE. IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF ORGANIZATION. THOSE TWO POINTS, I DON'T THINK THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT EXACTLY. PLUS, WITHOUT SEEING WHAT THEY WERE EVEN THINKING OF FOR THE 10,000, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REQUIREMENT. WE'D HAVE TO SEE WHAT THEIR DETAILED BUDGET IS AND WE DON'T. AND SO I THINK I DON'T THINK WE CAN REDUCE IT WITHOUT SEEING WHAT THEY WERE ASKING FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE'S A WOULD YOU READ THAT IN THE POLICY WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT PROMOTION OF THE ARTS? AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION TO THE CHAIRMAN'S POINT. IS THIS PROMOTING ARTS? WELL, WE WERE PAYING ROCKS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, SO I MEAN, THAT'S IT. WE WERE DOGS. RIGHT. BUT I THINK THE THING ABOUT IT IS, WELL, I ALSO THINK THE THING ABOUT IT IS, THOUGH, IS, IS EVEN THOUGH WE CAN SAY, WELL, IT'S NOT A ART THING, IT IS AN ART THING BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT'S A FAMILY ENGAGEMENT THING FOR THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S STILL ART. AND I'VE BEEN TO ONE WHERE THEY HAD PAINTING. PEOPLE GOT THEIR ANIMALS AND THEIR DOGS AND THEIR FRIENDS AND STUFF. WAS IT PETS OR ART? IT WAS. THEY BOUGHT THEIR PETS. YEAH. NO IT WASN'T. AND THEY WERE DOING. WAS IT A DAY OF ART? THAT'S MY QUESTION. ISN'T THAT A DAY OF ART WITH PETS, THOUGH? BECAUSE IF WE CAN DO A DAY OF ART. SO. SO HERE'S ANOTHER WAY. SO HERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS. SO SO WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON THE ELIGIBILITY ROTARY MAY CHOOSE FOR US NOT TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS. AND THEY MAY WANT TO CHOOSE TO REAPPLY. AND SO IF IF IT MAY BE BETTER IT MAY BE MORE EVIDENCE. BECAUSE BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE I DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE WAS IT COULD BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THEM IF WE CHOOSE NOT TO FUND IT. AND THEY CAN REAPPLY AND HIT SOME OF THESE THINGS AND GET THE FULL AMOUNT. THEIR DATE IS NOVEMBER 1ST, SO THEY CAN APPLY AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER IF THEY WANT TO. BUT IT SAYS APPLICANTS MAY ONLY APPLY FOR ONE GRANT PER FISCAL YEAR. WELL, THAT WELL, THAT WOULD BE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. YEAH. SO THIS IS THIS FISCAL YEAR THAT SO SEPTEMBER WILL THEY WOULD NOT MEET IT. THEY WOULD NOT MAKE IT IN TIME. OH THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THAT THE AWARDS WOULD NOT GO OUT ON TIME. HOWEVER I DON'T KNOW. WE WERE BIG ROCK SO I DON'T I DON'T SEE HOW THIS ISN'T OUR PROJECT AND BRINGING FAMILIES OUT AND ENGAGING THEM. AND I MEAN, I KNOW THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE PUT THE APPLICATION INTO THE CORRECT SEGMENT AND WE MAY NOT HAVE TO GIVE THEM $10,000, AND WE MAY NOT EVEN HAVE TO GIVE THEM $3,000. BUT I THINK THAT IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY TO ENGAGE FAMILIES WITH ARTISTIC ABILITIES. I THINK IT'S A GREAT WAY TO ALSO ENGAGE, YOU KNOW, WE DID A SENSORY AREA AT OUR LAST EVENT AND IT WAS HUGE. AND I THINK THAT PETS AND PEOPLE BRINGING OUT THEIR PETS AND STUFF ESPECIALLY THOSE PETS THAT ARE ARE PAYING WHAT ARE THEY CALLED? SERVICE. SERVICE DOGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, WE'VE WORKED WITH A LOT OF VETERANS PROGRAMS AND STUFF, AND I JUST, I REALLY LIKE THIS PROGRAM AND I THINK IT'S REALLY SOMETHING FUN. I THINK IT'S DIFFERENT. AND I THINK THERE'S NO BETTER TIME YOU HAVE THAN WITH KIDS AND PETS. I THINK THEY'RE FUNNY. I SEE, AND AND MAC. WELL, I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THAT WE WE FUND THE DUNCANVILLE PAWS AND PAINT FOR $3,000.
I SECOND THAT MOTION. HOLD ON. I'VE GOT AN IDEA THAT YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER SO THAT IT'S CONSISTENT. MAKING A MOTION, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL, BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY FUND THE PAWS AND PAINT AMENDING THAT IT BE MOVED TO A SINGLE PROJECT, AS YOU WERE MENTIONING. AND THEN THE AMOUNT AND CAN WE ADDRESS THE THE LACK OF ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. WELL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO 1000 INSTEAD OF 2 TO 3000. SO THERE'S SO THERE'S NO BUDGET ATTACHED. DOES IT MATTER? THEY JUST SAID 10,000. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY DETAILS AT ALL. NO DETAILS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT NOT HAVING THE BUDGET ATTACHED? BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF TALKING. I KNOW IT'S A LOT MORE THAN $10,000 TO DO THAT ONE DAY. JUST FROM MY EXPERIENCE OF DOING EVENTS, I KNOW THEY'RE EXPENSIVE. YOU'RE DEALING WITH DOGS, YOU'RE DEALING WITH, YOU'RE DEALING WITH FAMILIES. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THEY WANT TO HAVE THEIR VENDORS, FOOD, FUNDRAISING STATIONS, PET THEMED ACTIVITIES, LOCAL ARTISTS. THEY'RE BRINGING OUT LOCAL ARTISTS. THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE. SO I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S THE ASK. IT MAY SEEM BIG, BUT IF IT'S THERE, WE KNOW THEY'RE EXPENSIVE. AND I THINK THAT THE ROTARY SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY AND WE SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY. AND I THINK THAT ANYWHERE WHERE WE CAN PARTNER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE. YEAH, THAT WE DO A GOOD JOB IN, IN, IN BRINGING SOME COHESION. BUT LET'S TALK I WANT TO I WANT TO TALK ON THAMES BECAUSE THIS GOES BACK TO YOU POLICY BECAUSE THE POLICY I BELIEVE IT'S HOT HAS TO BE PROMOTION OF THE ARTS. AND TIM JUST BROUGHT UP IS THIS ARE WE PROMOTING THE ARTS OR PROMOTING THE PARK? WE'RE PUTTING THE DOGS. AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT? BECAUSE THAT'S A BECAUSE THAT'S A HOT LAW. BUT THAT'S A LOCAL ARTIST. THAT'S NOT THE ARTS. THAT WAS A THAT WAS A QUESTION. SO LIKE BECAUSE TIM, TALK ABOUT LOCAL ART, LOCAL DOG FRIENDLY OUTDOOR ART PARTY, FIRST OF ALL, IT'S AN ART PARTY. AND IT HAS PET THEMED ACTIVITIES. IT'S PROVIDING LOCAL, BRINGING OUT LOCAL ARTISTS, THE FOOD VENDORS. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT BEING A PART OF IT, BUT FUNDRAISING STATIONS. BUT I THINK THAT I ALSO THINK IT'S A NEW PARK. AND I THINK THAT IF WE CAN BE A PART OF THAT, THAT LOOKS GOOD FOR US. BECAUSE ANOTHER THING THAT YOU GOT TO REMEMBER IS, IS THAT WE REQUIRE YOU TO PUT OUR MARKET US IN THESE THINGS. I LIKE THE I LIKE THAT, TOO. SO, YOU KNOW, MY AND I JUST WANT TO REMIND US THAT WHEN PARKS AND REC CAME TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE DOG PARK, WE EVEN SAID TO HIM THAT DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE US, THE ARTS, THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE ART. AND SO HERE. SO I MEAN, I, I SEE EVERYBODY'S MY ONLY CONCERN IN THIS IS I DO THINK THAT THEY WHEN THEY FIRST APPLY THEY, THEY APPLIED TO THE WRONG ONE. SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN ARTS BASED EVENT I THINK BECAUSE SO THE, THE STATE OF TEXAS KNOWS THAT PEOPLE GET CAN GET KIND OF HINKY WITH HOT MONEY. AND SO THEY HAVE AN ANTENNA ON HOT OR THEY ARE THEY TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF FIX IT OR ARE THEY REALLY BEING CREATIVE ABOUT IT? SO IF, IF, IF THE ARTS COMMISSION SAYS, YEAH, THIS IS COMPLIANT, CITY COUNCIL CAN DECIDE WHETHER IT IS OR NOT. IT'S JUST A RECOMMENDATION. YEAH, BUT THERE'S A SAYING THERE MAY BE A PLACE FOR A MURAL IN THE DOG PARK OF DOGS. SORRY, I, I DO LIKE THE I DO LIKE THE IDEA THAT WE'RE WE'RE SUPPORTING A NEW I THINK IT'S NEW. AND I THINK ANYTHING THAT WE CAN BE INVOLVED IN AND LOOK LIKE WE'RE HELPING TO PRESENT OR GET OUT THERE. I MEAN, I THINK WE AND THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION. BUT I ALWAYS THINK THAT ANYTIME WE GET A CHANCE TO MARKET OURSELVES LIKE WE JUST THE FACT THAT WE'RE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, THAT'S GOOD PRESS FOR US. WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE A CULTURAL DISTRICT LIKE THAT'S TO ME IS IS THIS IS OUR COMMUNITY WORKING FOR US. AND PEOPLE ARE VERY I MEAN, A LOT OF YOU HAVE CATS AND DOGS. PEOPLE ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO THEIR ANIMALS. AND LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN TO ONE WHERE THEY HAD POP ART. THEY WERE TAKING THEIR LITTLE PAWS AND PUT THEM IN. SO WHAT ABOUT THIS? SO LET'S LET LET ME LET ME ASK YOU THIS. LET ME ASK LET ME ASK YOU THIS. SO WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE WE LOVE WE LOVE ROTARY. WE LOVE THE PROJECT. BUT I NEED I WANT TO HEAR ON THE RECORD WHY IS IT NOT COMPLIANT? WHY IS IT HOT? YEAH. ONE SPIN ON THAT IS THE ROTARY IS AN INTERNATIONAL FAVORITE. AND THEY IF YOU HAVE PETS AND THEY'RE DOING, THEY MIGHT INVITE PEOPLE FROM OTHER CLUBS. AND SO I COULD SEE HOW IT COULD BE TOURIST. OKAY. SO IT'S AN INTERNATIONAL CLUB. IT'S BRINGING IN LOCAL ARTISTS. HELLO. I JUST WANTED SO I JUST WANTED ON THE RECORD THAT WE'RE HAVING THAT CONVERSATION
BECAUSE WE HAVE A COMMISSIONER WHO IS CONCERNED THAT IT'S MAYBE NOT AN ARTS PROJECT AND MAYBE IT'S NOT HOT. AND PERHAPS, MAYBE, MAYBE ONE OF THE VENDORS THAT'S DOING IT. MAYBE. SO THERE'S ANOTHER THERE'S NOT A DETAILED BUDGET. YEAH. IT SAYS I MEAN THAT'S A DOCUMENT CHECKLIST TO PROJECT BUDGET LIST IS A IS A REQUIRED DOCUMENT AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT. I'M, I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT AND I'M, I EVEN SEE THE ART SIDE OF IT. AND I'M ALL ABOUT THE PETS AND I SEE THE INTERNATIONALS, BUT I WE'VE ASKED FOR A BUDGET FROM EVERYONE AND THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE ONE. NOW WE CAN STILL MAKE THE MOTION WITH THE CAVEAT WE RECOMMENDED TO CITY COUNCIL UPON IF WE MADE THE OTHER CAVEATS UPON A RECEIPT OF A DETAILED BUDGET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HOW THE MONEY WILL BE SPENT. BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. THE OTHERS HAVE GIVEN US THAT BUDGET. THEY'RE GOING TO SUBMIT SO MUCH ON ARTISTS FEES. THERE'S SO MUCH ON RENTAL OR WHATEVER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT DETAILED BUDGET AND THAT WASN'T A REQUEST. IT SAYS REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND THAT'S ONE OF THEM. SO YEAH, BUT I THINK ALSO THEY DID ASK FOR A BUDGET $10,000. IT DID IT GIVE AN ITEMIZED LIST? NO. BUT I MEAN, WHEN THE BLOOM FEST CAME IN AND THEY DIDN'T, THEY JUST ASKED US FOR SOME MONEY AND DIDN'T GIVE US NO, DIDN'T GIVE US NO BUDGET. AND EVERYBODY WAS READY TO FUND THEM THE FIRST DAY. SO I FEEL LIKE WE WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER. THEY DID GIVE US A BUDGET. DID THEY GIVE US AN ITEMIZED LIST? IT DIDN'T SAY TO GIVE US ITEMIZED LIST. WELL, THAT THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS, BUT IT SAYS DETAILED PROJECT BUDGET, NOT JUST A BUDGETED AMOUNT, BUT IT ALSO LETS US KNOW THE PARTY FEATURING THEMED ACTIVITIES LIKE ARTISTS, FOOD VENDORS, FUNDRAISING STATIONS. SO I THINK IS THERE DETAILS THERE OR DID THEY LIST THEM UNDER THE BUDGET? NOT NECESSARILY, BUT IT DID NOT. ASK FOR ITEMIZED LIST, ASKED FOR A BUDGET. SO I'LL EXPLAIN YOU. I'M SORRY. TIFFANY. ALEX, WHEN YOU WERE GOING OVER REVIEWING THE APPLICATIONS AND PEOPLE THAT WERE INCOMPLETE, DID YOU SEE THAT AS INCOMPLETE? AND WE WERE ASKING FOR BUDGET. DID WE ALSO PROVIDE THEM AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE WANTED? NO, I DIDN'T PROVIDE ANYBODY WITH A SAMPLE OF WHAT WAS WANTED AS FAR AS A BUDGET, BECAUSE YOU GUYS NEVER DETERMINED WHAT IT WAS THAT WAS NEVER DISCUSSED, AS THIS IS THE FORMAT WE WANT FOR OUR BUDGET, BECAUSE UNDER SECTION SIX, IT JUST TELLS A BUDGET AND THEY COMPLETED IT. YEAH, THERE WERE SEVERAL DETAIL THINGS. I MEAN LIKE I LIKE. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S A LOT, RIGHT? WE'RE NOT GIVING THEM TO REITERATE THE THREE. I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT 30% OR A THOUSAND. I GOT, THAT'S TRUE. BUT THEY CAN DO IT FOR $1,000. IT'S GOING TO COST MORE THAN THAT FOR THE. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A MOTION? THERE'S A MOTION. MOTION IN A SECOND. YEAH. SHE SECONDED. YEAH. WAIT A MINUTE. SHE'S GOING TO. YOU WERE GOING TO REWARD IT AGAIN? YEAH. WELL, I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND, THE DUNCANVILLE PAWS AND PAINT PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF IN THE AMENDED AMOUNT. $3,000. 1002. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN SECONDED FOR $3,000, AND SHE SECONDED FOR THREE. THAT'S ONLY 30% OF WHAT THEY ASKED IF HE WANTED TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. IF SHE AGREES TO IT. NO. OR HE CAN MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THE AMOUNT AND VOTE ON HIS MOTION FIRST, AND IF IT PASSES OR FAILS, AND THEN HE CAN GO BACK. DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT? SO YOU HAVE TO ASK HER AND IF SHE AGREES, OR A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. IF YOU'RE ON A HOT SPOT, THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S OKAY. JUST KEEP IT THAT WAY. I'D LIKE TO KEEP MY MOTION AT $3,000. OKAY. SO DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? NO. SO THERE'S A MOTION. THERE'S A SECOND. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? I. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE SAY, DO WE LOVE THE PROJECT? WE LOVE THE ORGANIZATION. BUT IS IT COMPLIANT? I HAVE QUESTIONS ON WHETHER IT'S COMPLIANT WITH HOT. I THINK THAT'S FAIR THOUGH. BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE FIRST TIME. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING BECAUSE WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO IT RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT THESE APPLICANTS ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT IS ARTS FOCUSED, AND EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT REALM OF WHAT ART IS. AND SO I THINK IT'S WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE GRACE, JUST LIKE WE DESERVE A LITTLE GRACE AS WE'RE DOING THIS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING THE BEST DECISIONS FOR THE COMMISSION. ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM, TIM? IF WE'RE NOT FUNDING THEM, DO WE THINK THAT THEY WILL STILL PUT ON AN EVENT LIKE THIS SOMETIME? I SUSPECT THEY WOULD, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT I HAVE NO IDEA. NO, BUT I MEAN, IT'S I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE ALREADY PLANNED BECAUSE THEY'RE
TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT DOG PARK. AND SO THEY WANT TO INTRODUCE THAT AREA. WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY THE QUESTION. I THINK THE QUESTION IS IF THE STATE COMES BACK TO THE CITY AND SAYS, I'M SORRY, YOU USE THAT, YOU USE THAT MONEY INAPPROPRIATELY. I THINK THAT'S THE QUESTION I'M ASKING. I LOVE THE I LOVE THE WELL, I THINK THAT THAT IS A PAIN, THOUGH TO ME IS IS THAT BRINGS IN TOURISM OF PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR PETS IN TOWN. I THINK IT'S AN EVENT THAT PEOPLE WOULD COME, WHETHER IT'S CROSSING IN FROM DESOTO OR GRAND PRAIRIE OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE. I THINK THAT IT'S PROMOTING LOCAL ARTISTS. I THINK THAT THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS THAT I'M MOST I, THAT I THINK DOES QUALIFY FOR HOPKINS. DO YOU THINK AND I'M ASKING THIS JUST SO WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. MAYBE WE'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME FOR $3,000. ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS? WELL, FOR THE AMENDMENT, IF IT'S GOING TO BE 3000, I STILL THINK WE NEED A DETAILED BUDGET OF WHAT THAT'S FOR. ASK FOR FOR FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. YOU'RE SUGGESTING 2000? NO, NO, I SAID IF WE'RE GOING TO SAY 3000, WE STILL NEED A DETAILED BUDGET OF WHAT EVEN THAT'S FOR. OKAY. IS THAT OKAY? DOES IT NEED TO BE IN THE MOTION? YEAH. YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT YOUR FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. YEAH. SHE SAYS YEAH. OKAY. CAN YOU REPEAT THE MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND DUNCANVILLE PAUSE AND PAINT PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000, AND SUPPLY US WITH A DETAILED BUDGET FOR THE EVENT. IS THAT OKAY? YEAH. SO IF YOU SAY IF YOU SAY YOU WANT IT, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT IT SHOULD IT BE? IF THEY SUPPLY US, WELL, WE DON'T HAVE A CHANCE. BUT SO HERE'S THE THING. IS THE APPLICATION INCOMPLETE BECAUSE YOU JUST CHANGED THE MOTION TO INCLUDE A DETAILED BUDGET. SO YOUR SUGGESTION IS THE APPLICATION IS INCOMPLETE AND THAT WHAT WE DID THE FIRST FRIENDLY AMENDMENT FIRST. OKAY. I'LL WITHDRAW MY I'LL WITHDRAW. THANK YOU. BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT. LET'S GO WITH THE ORIGINAL MOTION. SO LET'S FINISH THIS AND TAKE A TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK OKAY. YES. OKAY. SO WOULD YOU REPEAT THE MOTION? ALL RIGHT. I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND. DUNCANVILLE PAUSE AND PAINT PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. WAS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND THE MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. HOLD ON. LET'S SPLIT. I FEEL LIKE AN. YOU KNOW. I'M CONFLICTED. OKAY, THEY GOT THE CATS. ARE YOU READY? THAT'S DIFFERENT. NO. THAT'S DIFFERENT. YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE CATS COME OUT HERE? OKAY. ALL OPPOSED? WELL, THE CITY COUNCIL KNOW THE VOTE? YES. I WILL INCLUDE THAT. DO YOU SEE ME? JUST LIKE THEY'LL WANT TO KNOW, WHAT'S THIS, A UNANIMOUS DECISION OR IS IT, YOU KNOW. YEAH. LET'S TAKE A CAN WE TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK? YEAH. IT IS 802. SORRY. 8:00, Y'ALL. WE GOT 12. ARTS COMMISSION IS BACK IN SESSION. LET'S GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE. MR. HAMBY DANCE RECITAL IS THE EVENT TITLE. SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT IS THE CATEGORY. EACH YEAR, OUR STUDIO HAS AN ANNUAL RECITAL. ALL OF OUR DANCERS ARE AGES TWO YEARS OF TO 18 YEARS OLD, PERFORM DANCES ON A STAGE THEY HAVE BEEN LEARNING IN OUR PROGRAM WE TEACH BALLET, TAP, HIP HOP, LYRICAL AND AFRICAN DANCING. THE TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET IS $20,735. THE REQUESTED AMOUNT IS 10,000. DISCUSSIONS. WELL, WE ALREADY DECIDED IT HAS TO BE INDIVIDUAL, AND I THINK IF IT'S GOING TO BE INDIVIDUAL TO HAVE TO READJUST THEIR BUDGET, BECAUSE THIS IS FOR DALLAS THEATER CENTER, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE IT PROBABLY IS. I THINK WE NEED TO ASK DALLAS. THEN THEY NEED TO ANSWER. SO SO I KIND OF READ THAT, AND THEY SAID IN THE PAST IT'S ABOUT. YEAH, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE. BUT THESE FIGURES ARE NOT REAL FIGURES. I MEAN, WHAT VENUE IN IS THAT WHAT? THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE IT AT THE CEDAR RIDGE? I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE IT AT THEIR DANCE STUDIO. YES. AND I DON'T SEE HOW THAT CAN BE ACCURATE.
MAYBE THEY. JUST TELL US THAT THEY DO THIS LATER. HUMPHRIES OR THE THEATER PETER SINGER AND. THE WAY THAT I READ THAT, THEY SAID IN THE PAST EVENT THE CHILDREN'S THEATER IN DALLAS, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING IT AT THE STUDIO IN CEDAR RIDGE THIS TIME. THAT'S HOW I READ IT. I ESTIMATED 500 IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOMEPLACE IF THE BUDGET IT SAYS REVENUE ESTIMATED 500 TICKETS. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GETTING. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GETTING THAT NUMBER. AND SO IT SAYS CONCESSION SALES. SO I'M ASSUMING THEY MAY BE HAVING IT RENTING SOMEPLACE HERE BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THESE PROJECTS AND THINGS HAVE TO BE INVENTED. THEY HAVE TO BE THE FIELD HOUSE. SO YEAH, I'M THINKING THE FACT THAT THEY SAID CONCESSION SALES, I'M THINKING OF MAYBE IT MAYBE THE FIELD HOUSE NEXT YEAR, THE HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM USED FOR THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE AT A SCHOOL FACILITY. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S THAT WOULD BE. THAT'D BE THE ONLY ONE. YEAH. THEY'VE NEVER DONE IT. YEAH. WE DON'T KNOW THAT THOUGH. SO ONE OF THE THINGS I KNOW THAT ALEX IS DOING WHEN HE WAS TAKING THESE APPLICATIONS AS HE WAS. HE WAS FOLLOWING UP TO MAKE SURE IF THEY SAID HE WAS GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE, HE WOULD CHECK TO MAKE SURE HE'S REALLY ONLY IF IT WAS CITY FACILITIES, ONLY BECAUSE THOSE I COULD VERIFY EASILY. OKAY. I WILL SAY THAT THEY REQUESTED A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT, WHICH AND THEN THEY ASKED FOR 10,000. BUT BY OUR GUIDELINES THE FIRST TIME, IT'S ONLY 3000 FOR THAT PROJECT. IS THERE A MOTION? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO FUND THE. JEREMY DANCE CENTER DANCE RECITAL FOR THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. SECOND, THERE WAS A MOTION AND A SECOND DISCUSSION. NO DISCUSSION WITH US. COULD IT BE IN DUNCAN? OH, YEAH. WITH THE CAVEAT THAT WE. DO YOU WANT TO? YES. SO HERE WE GO AGAIN. RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL FUND THE THE THE JOURNEY DANCE DANCE RECITAL FOR THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. WITH THE CAVEAT THAT IT BE IN OR LOCATED IN DUNCANVILLE. SECOND. MOTION. AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? NO. DISCUSSION. NO. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. UNANIMOUS. LOOK AT THAT. ANYBODY OPPOSED? NEXT. NEXT. IT SAYS RON THOMPSON. OH, YOU HAVE TO RECUSE YOURSELF. NO, I'LL VOTE NO. OH, ONLY IF IT COMES WITH ONE. OKAY. L'AFFAIRE. SUBMITTED AS A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. L'AFFAIRE IS A TWO DAY COMMUNITY ARTS EVENT LAUNCHED IN 2024 BY DUNCANVILLE RESIDENTS GAIL SLIGER AND SUE CLARK TO SUPPORT THE NEWLY FORMED DUNCANVILLE ARTS COMMISSION THROUGH PUBLIC AWARENESS AND GRASSROOTS FUNDRAISING. ORGANIZED IN JUST FOUR WEEKS, THE INAUGURAL EVENT DREW APPROXIMATELY 200 ATTENDEES, AND ARTISTS FROM ACROSS THE REGION RAISED $400 FOR THE DUNCANVILLE ARTS FUND AND RECEIVED LOCAL MEDIA COVERAGE. LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR AN EXPANDED 2025 EVENT FOCUSED ON VISIBILITY, REVENUE, AND LONG TERM OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY'S CREATIVE COMMUNITY. THE TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET IS $16,650. REQUESTED AMOUNT IS 4950. THOUGH AS I UNDERSTAND AS OF THIS HOUR, THIS AFTERNOON, THAT REQUESTED AMOUNT MAY HAVE CHANGED. SO I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THE ARTS COMMISSION, THIS IS WHAT THE ARTS COMMISSION DID LAST TIME. THIS WOULD BE MONEY THAT WOULD NOT BE AN EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION. IT WOULD STAY WITHIN THE ARTS COMMISSION. AND THIS IS TO I CAN'T PITCH. SO. YES. SO THE THE AMOUNT REQUESTED HAS BEEN AMENDED TO $3,000. 3000? YES, MA'AM. WASN'T THAT THE MAX, ANYWAY? YES, MA'AM. SO WHY WAS IT ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR 4950? I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT. TECHNICALLY, THIS IS AN INTERNAL EVENT. IT'S THE SAME THING AS YOU ARE BASICALLY ASKING YOURSELVES TO FUND AN EVENT THAT YOU ARE A PART OF. SO HERE'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT SORT OF FALLS UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTARY THAT IT SORT OF FALLS UNDER THE CALL FOR ARTISTS WHERE YOU ARE, BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF YOU PITCHING IT TO YOURSELVES. WHO'S PITCHING ONE OF OUR EVENTS, LIKE, LIKE, NOT A LOT DIFFERENT THAN EVEN THE THE JUNETEENTH OR HISPANIC HERITAGE OR THE MIXERS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD ACTUALLY REALLY BE DOING OURSELVES BECAUSE IT'S A
FUNDRAISER FOR THE ARTS COMMISSION. YEAH. SO IT'S NOT REALLY. WHERE'S THE BUDGET? EVERYBODY'S BUDGET FOR THE BUDGET. THE BUDGET WAS SUBMITTED. WHERE'S THAT. AND I'M THE AND I'M THE LEAD ON IT. WHERE'S THE BUDGET THOUGH. IT'S NOT HERE. HERE'S A QUESTION. DID THEY RENT THE SENIOR CITIZENS AND HOW MUCH IS THAT FOR SUCH A RENTAL? OKAY, SO, ALEX, GUYS, I NEED YOUR HELP FOR LANGUAGE. SO BECAUSE WE AGREED THAT WE WOULD NOT ALLOW APPLICANTS TO COME IN AND PRESENT. TECHNICALLY, THIS IS AN ARTS COMMISSION PROJECT LIKE IT WAS LAST YEAR. SO I CAN'T PRESENT. I'M THE LEAD ON IT. SO LAST YEAR, IT WASN'T. IT WASN'T OUR THING. WE SUPPORTED IT. IT WAS. WE SUPPORTED. AFTERWARDS, WE FOUND OUT THE INDIVIDUALS WHO DID ALL THAT STUFF LAST YEAR. SO I NEED HELP, Y'ALL, I CAN'T. OKAY, SO LET ME ASK YOU THIS QUESTION. THIS IS THE THING ABOUT IT IS RIGHT. SO LAST YEAR GAIL EXCUSE ME. LET ME LET ME GET MISS LIGER IN. MISS CLARK CAME IN AND THEY TOLD US ABOUT THE EVENT AFTER IT HAPPENED. WE DID NOT SUPPORT IT. IT WAS NOT AN ARTS COMMISSION EVENT. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY DID FOR THE ARTS COMMISSION. BUT THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAME UP WITH. AND WE SAID, YEAH, GO FOR IT. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY CAME AND TOLD US ABOUT THE SUCCESS AFTER IT HAPPENED. WOULD THAT BE CORRECT OR NOT? CORRECT, NO. SO WE WORKED VERY HARD THAT DAY ESPECIALLY. WE TOOK EASELS OVER THERE. MANY PEOPLE, INCLUDING RON, HELPED THEM SET UP. WE CARRIED THINGS, WE SUPPORTED IT. WE DIDN'T. WAS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE TALKED TO? IT WAS ON AN AGENDA. WAS THIS EVER ON THE AGENDA AND DISCUSSED IN ANY OF OUR MEETINGS? NO. SHE CAME IN LIKE YOU SAID AND SPOKE TO US. THEY DID IT AND THEY WERE DOING IT ON OUR BEHALF TO RAISE MONEY FOR US. THEY RAISED $400. YES. SO THEY RAISED $400 AND NOW THEY WANT $5,000 IN THE TOTAL PROJECTED BUDGET, $16,000. BUT WE DON'T HAVE ONE PIECE OF PAPER THAT SAYS WHAT THIS FUNDING IS FOR. SO ALEX HASN'T ATTACHED THE BUDGET. OKAY. THERE'S ACTUALLY A VERY PROPOSED BUDGET IN THERE AND IT'S BEEN AMENDED TO 3000. AND SO BUT THE MOST THAT FOR A SINGLE PROJECT IS $3,000. CORRECT. RIGHT. AND SO THEREFORE IS IS THEY ONLY RAISED $400 LAST YEAR. I CAN'T SPEAK, I DIDN'T I'M JUST SAYING WE GOTTA LOOK AT IT. THERE WAS ONLY $400 RAISED LAST YEAR. ALEX WERE YOU ABLE TO. I HAVE TO GO AND PLUG IN AND THAT WILL CAUSE SOME TIME. BUT I CAN READ OUT THE BUDGET. SURE. $4,000 FOR ARTISTS AND SPEAKER SUPPORT. 1850 FOR EVENT PRODUCTION. CAN YOU READ THE. SO THERE'S SOME AMENDED LANGUAGE IN THERE, NOT AMENDED LANGUAGE. THERE'S A LANGUAGE ATTACHED TO THE BUDGET WHERE IT OUTLINES THE THE, THE PROJECT AND FULL SCOPE, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE ROUND TABLE AND THE MENTORSHIPS. DOWN HERE, IT SAYS THAT THE NEWLY FORMED ARTS COMMISSION, THROUGH ITS TO SUPPORT US THROUGH PUBLIC AWARENESS AND GRASSROOTS FUNDRAISING TO DO WHAT? SO. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ROUGHLY TEN MINUTES, I WILL GO PRINT AND SAY, CAN WE MOVE THIS DOWN AND WORK ON THERE? YEAH. CAN WE GO CAN WE GO TO THESE LAST. LET ME DO IT LAST. OKAY. SO WE CAN'T BECAUSE HE JUST LEFT. OKAY, COOL. OKAY. IN THE MEANTIME I UNDERSTAND IS LIKE, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE WE STARTED, BUT WE SUPPORTED IT. AND IT WAS NICE OF THEM TO RAISE MONEY FOR US. SO THEY DO IT EVERY YEAR. AND LAST YEAR WE HELPED THEM A LITTLE BIT. IT'S REALLY NOT IT'S REALLY NOT A ARTS COMMISSION SPONSORED EVENT NECESSARILY. I SEE IT AS A WIN WIN. IT DISPLAYS ART. IT IS AN ARTS EVENT IN THAT IT BRINGS IN ALL SORTS OF WORKS OF ART, AND THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO VIEW IT AND TO SEE IT IF THEY MAKE ANY MONEY, THE ARTS COMMISSION IS THE BENEFICIARY OF THAT. BUT THAT'S A SECONDARY THING. IT TRULY IS DOES SHOWCASE ART, AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND IT REALLY SHOWCASES THAT, THAT HIGH CALIBER OF ART, AND THAT'S COOL. ANGELA. I AGREE. I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S AN ART, BUT MY CONCERN OR MY QUESTION IS THE 16 650 BUDGET IS THAT 16 650 COMING OUT OF THE ARTS COMMISSION? NO, THEY'RE ONLY ASKING FOR 3000. THAT'S BEEN ADMITTED. ONLY 3000. SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SORT OF PART OF THAT EVENT, THE 1650, WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT, RIGHT?
NOT ANY MORE THAN WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE DANCE. THE DANCE CENTER SAYING IT WAS 20,735. WE'RE ONLY GIVING THEM $3,000. THEY SAID THEIR WHOLE PROJECT WAS GOING TO COST. YEAH, BUT WE'RE SAYING THAT THIS IS A PART OF THE DUNCANVILLE ARTS COMMISSION BECAUSE IT SAYS DUNCANVILLE ARTS COMMISSION. RIGHT? I KNOW THAT I'M JUST I'M JUST SAYING THEY'RE BASICALLY SAYING WE WANT TO PRESENT THIS. ISN'T THAT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING? IS THAT WHAT'S BEING SAID? THAT WE'RE PRESENTING THIS AS THE ARTS COMMISSION? SO? SO NO, BUT I'M SAYING IT SAYS TO SUPPORT THE NEWLY FORMED. SO I WOULD ASK THE ARTS COMMISSION TO CONSIDER SOMETHING. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? AND THIS IS NOT ME PUSHING FOR THIS. THIS IS JUST GENERAL WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER AND SAYS, I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THE ARTS COMMISSION. I SUPPORT YOUR MISSION AND I WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO SUPPORT YOU. SO THE FIRST ONE, LIKE THE ROTARY CLUB DID, RIGHT? SAME THING. WELL, IT'S NOT THE SAME THING. MY ONLY CONCERN WAS, IS IT NOT RELEVANT IF WHEN HE'S GOING TO COME BACK? SEE Y'ALL. I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE SAID THAT. WE SAID THAT WE CAN'T TAKE PRESENTATIONS, SO I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT. SO WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE. BUT THE LAST YEAR THERE WERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT CAME. SO IT WOULD BE SO, SO SO ARE WE GOING TO APPROVE IT OR NOT? OR DO YOU THINK THAT WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING? OKAY. OKAY. FRIDAY NIGHT AND ALL DAY SATURDAY. SO IT'S A TWO DAY EVENT. SO I CAN MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT. IS THERE A SECOND FOR $3,000? OKAY. CAN YOU CAN YOU DO IT FOR THE RECORD, THE WAY YOU SAID? YEAH, IT IS THE WAY THE SCRIPT MOTION. I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND. 2025. I'VE IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,500. Y'ALL WANT 3000? WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? 3000? $3,000. SECOND, THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT IT? EVERYONE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. ANYBODY OPPOSED? OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON. OKAY. CANDACE. REGAN. OH, YEAH. NO, NO, NO, I DON'T THINK THAT'S BAD. I WAS JUST THINKING. I THOUGHT I SAW A COUPLE THINGS SHE SUBMITTED. NO, JUST. THAT WAS JUST THAT ONE. OKAY. FIXING HIS PLATE. THE SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. FIXING HIS PLATE IS A HEARTWARMING, FAMILY FRIENDLY STAGE PLAY THAT BLENDS MUSIC, DANCING, DRAMA AND COMEDY TO TELL THE STORY OF A HOLIDAY GATHERING TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AFTER ONE WOMAN FIXES THE WRONG MAN'S DINNER PLATE. ROOTED IN THEMES OF LOVE, TRADITION AND CHAOS, THE 90 MINUTE PRODUCTION OFFERS A RICH THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE FOR ALL AGES, WITH LOCAL TALENT BOTH ON STAGE AND BEHIND THE SCENES. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE AS A CULTURAL CELEBRATION OF THE DUNCANVILLE COMMUNITY, BRINGING NEIGHBORS TOGETHER THROUGH SHARED STORYTELLING AND JOYFUL CONNECTION. THE. I BELIEVE THE REQUESTED AMOUNT IS 75. NO. IT'S 3000. 3000? IT'S A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. THEY'RE REQUESTING $3,000. IS THERE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND FIXING HIS PLATE IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND THAT MOTION. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? SO I DO WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, BUT OF COURSE YOU DID. OKAY. OKAY. SO THEY CAME AND PERFORMED AT THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION. CORRECT? YES. SO WE SPENT MONEY ON THEM THEN? THEY'RE ASKING FOR $3,000. YOU KNOW, WE CAN GIVE THEM THE WHOLE $3,000, BUT I THINK THEY THEY COULD HAVE DID A BETTER JOB FOR JUNETEENTH. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO GIVE THEM ALL THREE. AND I LOVE THEM BOTH. BUT I'M JUST BEING VERY HONEST. LIKE THIS IS THE THING ABOUT IT IS WE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS MONEY, AND WE JUST SPENT MONEY WITH THEM, AND THEY COULD HAVE CAME BETTER THAN THEY CAME. SO I JUST FEEL LIKE, AS I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THAT FOR $2,500. THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT. WHO DID THE MOTION? WHO DID THE MOTION? YOU DID THE MOTION. WHO DID THE MOTION? YOU DID THE MOTION. IS THAT A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT? I WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT FOR THAT REASON. SO I LOVE YOU, TOO, BUT. OH, THERE'S A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? YEAH. WE HAVE A SECOND. YEAH. I'M SORRY. I JUST HAVE A COUNTER COMMENT THAT I REALLY FEEL LIKE THAT CANDACE AND HER HUSBAND, CEDRIC ARE PROVEN PEOPLE IN THE ARTS. I THINK FOR JUNETEENTH, SHE DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE PROGRAM. AND THAT'S WHY IT WASN'T MORE EXTENSIVE THAN THAT. SHE DIDN'T REALIZE. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD ME. SHE ACTED SURPRISED. BUT ANYWAY, I THINK THEY'RE MARVELOUSLY CREATIVE. I'M READING HER BOOK RIGHT NOW. IT'S REALLY CREATIVE IN ITS LANGUAGE AND ITS CONCEPTS.
SO I LOVE THE PLAY. I LOVE THE FACT THAT IT'S BRINGING PLAYS IN MORE DIVERSITY TO PLAYS IN OUR AREA, YOU KNOW? BUT I ALSO THINK I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT I THINK. I THINK THAT WE'VE SPENT MONEY WITH THEM OR WHAT HAVE YOU. SO THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S ON THE RECORD. WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? SO SHE'S A GYM TEACHER? YES, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. YES. OKAY. YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT? NO, NO. CAN SOMEONE REPEAT THE MOTION? THE MOTION? SAY THE MOTION AGAIN. REPEAT THE MOTION I WILL. I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND FIXING HIS PLATE IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. OKAY. AND WHO SECONDED? IT WAS THE SECOND. OH, I SECOND THAT MOTION. SARAH SECONDED. THERE'S A MOTION A SECOND. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. ANY OPPOSITION? ALL RIGHT. NEXT. OKAY. ROCHELLE. ENTERPRISES. ALEX. 2620 6 P.M.. YEAH. YOU KNOW, THIS THIS THIS WAS ALL SET OUT A CERTAIN WAY THAT YOU DID TWO AT THE SAME TIME AND MESSED THE WHOLE THING UP. FIRST TIME. I BLAME TIFFANY. WHAT DID I DO? I DON'T KNOW. I, YOU KNOW, I'M PLAYING WITH YOU. WHERE? I DON'T THINK THAT I DON'T LOVE THEM. I DO, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S OKAY. OKAY, ALEX, THAT'S A FLOOR. LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE. A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. PROJECT SUMMARY. LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE IS A CLEAN COMEDY EVENT FEATURING A SEMIPROFESSIONAL AND OR PROFESSIONAL COMICS, EACH HAVING 12 TO 15 MINUTES TO PERFORM. COMICS ARE GIVEN A SCRIPT, A STRICT DEFINITION OF CLEAN, I.E. NO PROFANE WORDS, NO VULGAR STORIES, NO OBSCENE INNUENDOS. COMEDY IS TARGETED TOWARDS ANYONE 12 YEARS OR OLDER. THE TOTAL PROJECTED BUDGET IS $3,000. REQUESTED AMOUNT IS $3,000. IS THERE A MOTION? THE MOTION I'M. I MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL FUND. THIS PROJECT. LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? OKAY. I WANT TO ASK, IS IT. IS IT? I NEED YOU TO STATE WHO'S CALLED THE SECOND. WHO'S CALLED THE SECOND? I'M SORRY. WHAT? ANGELA. OKAY. I JUST NEED YOU TO RECOGNIZE THE SECOND. OKAY. ANGELA. SO THERE IS A SECOND. THERE'S A MOTION. THERE'S A SECOND. ANY CONVERSATION? IT'S. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT COMEDY IS HARD. IT'S PERFORMANCE. PERFORMANCE ART. IT'S PERFORMING ARTS. IT'S PERFORMANCE ART. SO THESE PEOPLE ARE ARTISTS, AND IT'S FREE. I'M GOING TO ASK THAT. SO IS IT IS IT IS IT COMPLIANT WITH OUR ARTS FUNDING POLICY? YES, YES. IS IT COMPLIANT WITH HOT? YES. YES, IT COULD BE. IS ATTRACTING. HE IS AT THE THEATER. IT'S FREE. IT'S PUBLIC. IT SAYS IT MAY STAY OVERNIGHT OR PERFORMERS OR SOMETHING. THEY SAID THEY BRING FANS FROM OTHER CITIES. YEAH. OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? THERE'S. THERE'S BEEN A MOTION. THERE'S A SECOND. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO CHIME IN ON THE HOT. IS IT. EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S HOT COMPLIANT. AMY. AMY IS A SPECIALIST. I HAVE CONCERNS, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. THEY DO SAY THAT THEY HAVE PERFORMERS THAT COME FROM OUT OF TOWN. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT. YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT. THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE THAT THEY'RE NOT. THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO. SO IF INDEED THEY DO. YEAH. THEY MEET THE CRITERIA. BUT DOES THIS. WHAT DOES THEIR NARRATIVE MEET THE GOAL THEN? THE ANSWER IS YES IT DOES. IF, IF IF IT FAILS. AND I KNOW THIS FROM MY EXPERIENCE. IF THEN NEXT YEAR. I'M SORRY, BUT YOU DIDN'T YOU DIDN'T PUT HEADS IN BEDS. YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT GOING TO. THEN WE KNOW THAT FOR THE NEXT TIME AROUND. YOU'RE ALWAYS THROWING THE DART. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THEIR NARRATIVE, UNLIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT ADDRESSED IT AS MUCH AS THEY THINK THEIR NARRATIVE ADDRESSES THAT THAT THEY THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PREVENT THE DEATHS, BUT IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT. THEY'RE REQUIRED TO WITHIN 40 DAYS OF PROJECT COMPLETION TO PROVIDE A REPORT TO THE ARTS COMMISSION. FAILURE TO REPORT WILL RESULT IN INELIGIBILITY FOR FOUR GRANT CYCLES. SO THAT GETS THEM THROUGH A FISCAL YEAR. AND THAT ALLOWS FOR YOU TO MAKE A DECISION ON FUTURE THINGS BASED ON THAT REPORTING. OKAY. SO WE HAD A MOTION.
WE HAD A SECOND. DID YOU SECOND. YES ANGELA DID THE SECOND. WHO DID THE WHO DID THE MOTION. DID I. YES YES YES THE MOTION. ALRIGHT. SO THERE'S MOTION IN A SECOND. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSITION? UNANIMOUS. OKAY. FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF DUNCANVILLE. NEXT. WEEK. PASTOR. WE'RE TIRED. LET'S GO OUT. YOU REALLY WANT ACCURATE? WHAT IS ACCURATE? NOTES AS I COULD GET IS CLEAR. OKAY. OH, NO. OH, LORD, LET ME GO HOME. OKAY. OKAY. MASTER'S VOICE CHRISTMAS CONCERTS. MASTER'S VOICE CHRISTMAS CONCERT IS SUBMITTED AS A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. SPECIAL CHRISTMAS MUSICAL EVENT SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY AT NO COST TO THEIR BENEFIT AND TO BENEFIT AND TO BENEFIT THE DUNCANVILLE OUTREACH COMMUNITY WITH NONPERISHABLE FOOD ITEM COLLECTED. AND NO BUDGET $3,000 PROJECTED BUDGET AND $3,000 REQUESTED AMOUNT. THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE FOR THIS IS ONE OF OUR. ALEX, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE FUNDING POLICY. I BELIEVE IT SAYS RELIGIOUS. YEAH IT DOES. SO WOULD THIS BE ELIGIBLE? AND IF SO IS THERE A WAY THAT WE I MEAN, HOW DOES THAT WORK? CUZ I MEAN, IT IS CHRISTMAS MUSIC. IT'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT JESUS CHRIST. OKAY. AND I'LL TALK ABOUT HIM EVERY DAY. YOU KNOW. BUT I'M SAYING I'M ASKING IS, IS WOULD THAT BE I MEAN, I DON'T SEE A CHURCH JUST DOING JINGLE BELLS. SO THE QUESTION BECOMES, IS IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE SAY WITH THE CONTINGENCY UPON THIS SO THAT WE DON'T BREAK THE GRANT GUIDELINES, OR DO WE JUST SEE IT AS THE ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY? TIM. YEAH. SO PROHIBITED USES, POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS PROGRAMING IS THE LATTER RELIGIOUS PROGRAMING. YOU KNOW, I COULD SEE IF IT'S PROMOTING, BUT IT'S IT'S IT'S MORE OF A FESTIVAL. DOES THE FACT THAT HAPPENS IN THE CHURCH. SO, SO IF THEY WERE ASKING FOR CHOIR SINGS AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT CHRISTMAS TIME. AND SO EVERYBODY WENT TO THE PARK AND THEY SAW IT. THAT'S ONE THING. IS IT CHANGE IT IF IT HAPPENS IN THE CHURCH? I DON'T THINK SO. NO, NO, BECAUSE THE ROTARY CLUB USED TO HAVE THEIR MEETINGS IN THE CHURCH. YEAH, I DON'T THAT DOESN'T BOTHER ME. AND I ALSO AGREE WITH TIM IS IT'S NOT WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, IT'S RELIGIOUS. THEY'RE NOT RELIGIOUS PROGRAMING, MEANING THEY'RE NOT HAVING A CHURCH SERVICE AND SAYING MAYBE I'LL REPENT. THEY'RE THEY'RE IT'S. AND AGAIN, THIS IS FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THIS, BUT IT'S A REALLY COOL CONCEPT WHERE THEY BRING IN PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE WHO SING AND THEY DO INVITE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. THEY, THEY MARKET IT ACTUALLY REALLY ALL OVER THE I LOVE IT. THEY DO IT WHETHER WE PAY FOR IT OR NOT. SO YOU SAID THEY THEY THEY HAVEN'T. BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT WILL THAT I THINK IT BRINGS A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT. I LIKE THE FACT THAT LIKE LIKE I SAID, I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE WITHIN OUR GUIDELINES. AND YOU DID SAY THEY MARKETED ALL OVER. THEY DID. THEY MARKETED. SO THEN IT'S HOT COMPLIANT? YES. YEAH. SO I THINK IT PROMOTES THE HOT BUNS SITUATION. WE'RE BRINGING THE TOURISM, GETTING PEOPLE TO VISIT OUR CITY. AND I THINK THAT IT'S SOMETHING ANNUAL THAT THEY DO EVERY YEAR. AND THEY GET THEY DO A GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB. AND I THINK THAT SP ASSOCIATED WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE DOING GOING WELL IN OUR COMMUNITY AS A PLUS. SO I HAVE A MOTION TO SAY, HOLD ON A SECOND. DO THEY DESCRIBE THE PURPOSE AND ARTISTIC VISION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT? NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED SINGING GROUP FROM TULSA, OKLAHOMA. YEAH, I JUST GOT A LINE IN THERE. DO YOU WANT TO READ IT? OKAY.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE A DETAILED BUDGET, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE AWARE, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR ONE, WE SHOULD ASK FOR IT FOR EVERYBODY. DID WE ASK FOR IT WITH THE ROTARY? DID WE PUT THAT IN? YEAH. YEAH. SO YOU WANT TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT? YES. OKAY. AND THEN AMEND THE MOTION TO STATE THAT WE FUND THEM IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000
WITH, WITH THE WHAT IS THE DETAIL BUDGET ON THE CONTINGENCY TO SUBMIT A DETAILED BUDGET. YEAH, I LOVE THAT. SO. WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A POLICY, BUT I THINK ANYONE SUBMITTING A GRANT, ESPECIALLY WHERE FUNDS ARE CONCERNED, SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO TO HOST THEIR PEOPLE IN THE LOCAL HOTELS. LIKE IF THERE'S A GROUP COMING FROM TULSA, YOU CAN HOST THEM IN YOUR HOMES, OR YOU COULD INVITE THEM TO STAY IN THE DUNCANVILLE HOTELS. WRITE THAT ON YOUR SHEET OF PAPER. THAT'S A POLICY. THAT'S A GOOD THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. SO THAT'S A REAL GOOD IDEA. SO WE HAVE A WE HAVE A WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. WE HAVE A SECOND. YES. ANY MORE DISCUSSION. THAT'S A GREAT POINT, TIM. ALL IN FAVOR. OKAY, OKAY. WE'LL WAIT. NO OKAY. THAT'S NOT IT. OKAY, OKAY. OPPOSITION. I'D LIKE TO HEAR THE OPPOSITION. I'M NOT SURE. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO KEEP. SPINNING.

IS THAT COMPLIANT WITH POT? ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT? THAT IT WOULD NOT BE. GOOD FRIENDS DOWN HERE. IS IT COMPLIANT WITH OUR FUNDING POLICY? YES. WELL, I CHECKED WITH 3000 BECAUSE IT'S A SINGLE GRANT. FIRST TIME. SO WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? OKAY. OH, WAIT. DID YOU ALL OPPOSED? EVERYBODY ELSE IS OKAY. THANK YOU. SARAH, WAS IT WERE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT POLICY OR HOT, OR WAS IT? I THINK IT WAS LIKE THE HOTTEST. DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT PART. OKAY, MUSICAL PERFORMANCE. SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. THE BAND IS A JAZZ BAND THAT PERFORMS POPULAR JAZZ STANDARDS AND SONGS FROM THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK. BAND MEMBERS ARE MADE UP OF TWO DUNCANVILLE, TWO DUNCANVILLE OWN, PLUS OTHER PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS FROM THE DALLAS AREA. HERE IS THE BUDGET. TOTAL BUDGET. THE TOTAL BUDGET. AND THE BUDGETED REQUEST IS $1,185. A BREAKDOWN IS INCLUDED. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES WHERE I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THE RESERVATION. THERE WERE TWO OTHERS THAT WERE SUBMITTED THAT I KNEW THAT IT WAS AT A PUBLIC SPACE, AND I WANTED TO CONFIRM THE RESERVATION. THERE'S SOME PHOTOS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.
THIS IS THE BAND. OH, OH. DISCUSSIONS. MOTIONS. OKAY. DOES IT COMPORT WITH OUR FUNDING POLICY? YES. YES. DOES IT? OKAY. I THINK IT'S HOT BECAUSE THE BAND, SOME OF THE MEMBERS ARE UP FROM THE DALLAS AREA. SO OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. OKAY. SO WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK IS HOT? DOES IT MEET THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT? AND IT'S AT NIGHT. I LIKE THAT. I DEFINITELY THINK IT'S HOT, TOO, JUST BECAUSE IT'S GOOD STUFF. OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND. THE. MUSICAL PERFORMANCE IS THE TITLE PERFORMANCE. GERALD OWN FLIES AND THE AMOUNT OF $1,185 FOR A SECOND. I. SECOND. SARAH. SECONDS. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND. IS THERE ANY OPPOSITION? UNANIMOUS. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING AHEAD. AND I'M NOT. YEAH. ALEX? YEAH. YES. COULD WE HAVE THAT RUNNING COUNT UP TO NINE. I'M TRYING. BUT YOU KEEP MOVING SO FAST, I CAN'T GET THE MATH DONE. ALL RIGHT. IS ANYBODY CONCERNED AT THE SPEED AT WHICH WE'RE MOVING? NO, YOU'RE. I THINK YOU'RE AROUND $30,185 THAT YOU'VE COMMITTED BASED ON THE. FIRST THREE WAS $6,000. THE NEXT FOUR FOUR CAME TO $14,000. WITH THIS IT WAS 10,185. I BELIEVE THAT BRINGS IT TO 30,185. AND YOU ARE NOW TO YOUR REMAINING FIVE. YOU'RE ON PAINTING IN THE PARK. SO PAINTING IN THE PARK IS A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT. JUST A REMINDER, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT HAS SERVED YOU ALL WELL. SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANTS FOR FUNDING LIMIT IS UP TO $3,000 FOR FIRST TIME APPLICANTS. EVERYBODY WHO'S APPLYING TONIGHT IS A FIRST TIME APPLICANT. PAINTING IN THE PARK IS A VIBRANT OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE WHERE GUESTS CAN RELAX AND UNLEASH THEIR CREATIVITY WHILE PAINTING AND SIPPING IN A BEAUTIFUL PARK SETTING. THE EVENT FEATURES LIVE MUSIC, CREATING A LAID BACK ARTISTIC ATMOSPHERE PERFECT FOR CONNECTING WITH OTHERS AND ENJOYING NATURE. IT'S A VERY DETAILED BUDGET. VERY SMALL PRINT, I APOLOGIZE. THE THE REQUEST AMOUNT IS. $10,000. I SAID SOMETIME IN THE FALL OF 2035. SO THE VERY LAST PAGE WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE. RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL FUND THE PAINTING IN THE PARK PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. DOCTOR PERRY SECONDED. I HAVE A QUESTION. ARE WE BEING AND I DON'T I'M A LEGITIMATE QUESTION. IF THEY APPLY THE WRONG GRANT, ARE WE BEING GENEROUS BY CHANGING IT FOR THEM, OR SHOULD THE GRANT OR SHOULD THE APPLICATION BE REJECTED? NO. I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME. AND I THINK I THINK THAT WE SHOULD GIVE GRACE. OKAY? GIVE OURSELVES GRACE. SO I JUST WANT TO I THINK WE NEED TO GIVE THE GRACE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT EDUCATION PART THAT IT SAYS IN OUR POLICY. SO THE POLICY DOES STATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN EDUCATION COMPONENT FOR THIS, AND WE HAVEN'T HAD IT. SO WE'RE ALL DOING THIS INCLUDING APPLICANTS FOR THE FIRST TIME. LIKE I THINK LIKE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE SO GOOD AT THIS BECAUSE YOU WENT THROUGH 3 OR 4 CYCLES. AND I THINK THAT IN THE NEXT 18 MONTHS, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THE POLICIES AND STUFF ARE GOING TO BE IN THE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WILL BE BETTER. YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK THAT I THINK WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. I THINK I THINK IT'S NICE TO GIVE THEM SOME GRACE AND CHANGE IT FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DO THE PROJECT AND WE SAY WE'RE OFFERING THEM SOMETHING. THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT. BUT WE'RE OFFERING THEM SOMETHING. YES. SO IS IT DOES IT COMPORT WITH OUR FUNDING POLICY? YES. IS IT HOT? YES, IT COULD BE, YES.
IS THERE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT IT NOT BEING HOT? NO. SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE. WAS THERE A SECOND? I GUESS SO. AND SOME MORE DISCUSSION. YEAH. TIM. YEAH. JUST SO THERE IS A SECOND DISCUSSION. SO I'M JUST GOING TO ASK, I MEAN, THIS IS ARE THEY PROPOSING PUTTING ON AN EVENT? IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S AN EVENT IN LAKESIDE PARK. YES. YES. LAKESIDE. YES. AND PEOPLE CAN COME OUT AND PAINT. RIGHT. AND THEY'RE. AND THEY PUT 10,000 TOGETHER. BECAUSE WE CAN IMAGINE THAT TO PUT AN EVENT ON LIKE, JULY OR ANY OF THOSE OTHERS, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY NEED ALL THAT STUFF. OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION I KNOW, AND I THINK I'VE ASKED THIS BEFORE, IS HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN THEY'VE SLIDE AND GIVE THEM THE MONEY THAT THEY NEED TO FLY. I KNOW THERE'S AVENUES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WOULD YOU READ THE POLICY ON THAT? WELL, THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE A RECAP AND STUFF FOR THIS. THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST THOUGH, RIGHT? YEAH. BUT ALEX, WOULD YOU BECAUSE HE ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO FOLLOW UP. WOULD YOU JUST READ WHAT'S IN THE POLICY? SO YES, THEY ARE GRANTED THE MONEY IN ADVANCE OF THE EVENT RATHER THAN IT BEING THAT WAS ONE THING THAT YOU ALL WERE VERY CLEAR ABOUT. YOU DID NOT WANT THIS TO BE A AND READ THE PART ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT. AND SO AND THIS IS FOR THE PURPOSES OF IF THEY WANT TO COME BACK, THAT'S ONE OF THE POINTS OF THIS. AND ALSO TO GET REPORTING DATA. SO THE GRANTEES RESPONSIBILITY IS TO SUBMIT A FINAL REPORT WITHIN 40 DAYS OF PROJECT COMPLETION, INCLUDE DOCUMENTATION OF PROJECT OUTCOMES, FINANCIAL DETAILS, ATTENDANCE AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TOURS, OR HOME OR HOTEL IMPACT, IF APPLICABLE. FAILURE TO REPORT WILL RESULT IN INELIGIBILITY FOR FOUR GRANT CYCLES, WHICH WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF A FISCAL YEAR. IS THAT SUFFICIENT? WELL, YOU KNOW, I JUST I GUESS IN ALL OF THESE IS YOU KNOW, IF WE DON'T GIVE THEM 10,000, THEY'LL HAVE TO FIND THEIR OWN. IF THEY CAN'T USE IT, THEY CAN REFUSE IT. YEAH, RIGHT. THEY DON'T WANT TO USE IT. THEY CAN USE IT, I LIKE THAT. YEAH. MATT. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE'S NOT A DATE. SO IF WE COULD GET THEM TO NAIL DOWN A SPECIFIC, SPECIFIC FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT THEY PROVIDE US A DATE, SO SHE MAY. SO ANGELA MADE A MOTION. I THINK YOU MADE THE MOTION. IT WOULDN'T MATTER. YEAH. SO HE WANTS TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. I. WELL. I THINK I SAID FALL OF 2025. SO, FALL IN AUGUST. SEPTEMBER IS THE NEXT MONTH. YEAH. I WONDER IF THEY DON'T DO THE FALL. THEY DIDN'T GIVE US THE MONEY BACK. THEY DON'T. THEY DON'T COMPLY WITH WHAT THEY SAID. NOW, MY MY, ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE IS THAT I REALLY DON'T HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL. WE JUST HAVE DOWNTOWN GALLERY AND ART MUSEUM. WELL, I THINK I READ THAT AND I THOUGHT, THAT'S STRANGE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE. BUT I THINK WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS MAKING A GENERAL STATEMENT ABOUT THESE KINDS OF EVENTS. IT'S GENERIC. IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO DUNCAN. THERE'S NO PERSON. IT IS. SO THE THE VENDOR PACKET IS DOWNTOWN GALLERY AND MUSEUM OF ART, THAT IS WHO IS APPLYING FOR IT. AND THEY ARE LOCATED AT 2000 SOUTH MAIN. ARE THEY A NONPROFIT? I DIDN'T SAY THAT THERE WAS A DEGREE, BUT THEY'RE APPLYING FOR A SINGLE, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE EXCLUSIVELY THEIR GROUP. THEY THEY INVOLVE $3,000 ANYWAY. YEAH, LIKE 1 IN 10,000. YEAH, BUT THEY THEY DON'T QUALIFY FOR 10,000. THEY'RE A SINGLE. I MEAN, IT'S A SINGLE, A SINGLE EVENT. THEY DON'T EVEN QUALIFY FOR THE 200 SOUTH MAYOR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SAY THAT. SAY THAT AGAIN. SO I'M SAYING IS, IS THAT THEY ARE ASKING US FOR $10,000, RIGHT. HOWEVER KIND OF LIKE ANGELA SAID EARLIER, SHOULD WE SWITCH TO AN APPLICATION FOR THEM? THEY ONLY QUALIFY. I MEAN, FOR WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS A SINGLE EVENT. SO THE MAX THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED. I MEAN, APPLY FOR THE FIRST YEAR IS 3000 CORRECT? AND THEY CAN QUALIFY FOR 10,000. THE NEXT TIME THEY APPLY. CORRECT. IF THEY SUCCESSFULLY DO THIS EVENT. SO RIGHT NOW THE MOTION IS ON THE TABLE. ANGELA PROPOSED THAT WE GIVE THEM $3,000 FOR THIS EVENT. AND THEN SOMEBODY SAID TO ME THIS. SO AND I THINK YOU SECONDED IT. AND THEN YOU SAID IN LIGHT THAT THEY GIVE US A DATE. YEAH. HEY, ALEX, DID YOU WRITE DOWN AND SECONDED. YES. OKAY, GOOD. I HAVE A QUESTION THAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE DOWNTOWN GALLERY AND MUSEUM OF ART. WHY DON'T WE KNOW ABOUT THIS SPACE OR SOMETHING?
OH, YEAH. THAT'S NOT A FLOWER SHOP. THEY JUST. OH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT. OH. WE HAVE. OKAY. RIGHT THERE. YOU'RE WELCOME. RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE THEATER. THAT'S THERE. YEAH. OH, IS THAT THAT FLOWER SHOP? SO ARE WE DOING IT OR NOT? OKAY, SO THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON IT? IS IT SO? YES, I FOR THE PROJECT WHICH THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT, IT LOOKS THINGS SEEM VERY INFLATED AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT PRE-STRETCHED CANVASES, CANVASES AND 200 PEOPLE, WHICH SEEMS LOW FOR IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE PUTTING ON A BIG EVENT. AND IT JUST THE FIGURES ALL SEEM SKEWED TO ME. I GUESS I'M SUPPORTING THE 3000. YEAH, I DON'T YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. OKAY. WELL, I DON'T KNOW. I'VE GOT AN ATTITUDE ABOUT THE SKETCH. THAT'S JUST FOR THE RECORD. JUST FOR THE RECORD. SORRY. ALL RIGHT. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ANY MORE DISCUSSION? SO WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT, ALL IN FAVOR? OKAY. I'M WITH RESERVATIONS. IS THERE, LIKE, SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA LET THEM SEE IF THEY'RE GONNA DO WITH IT. THEY DO THE JOB, AND THEY GO. OKAY. ANY OPPOSITION? NO. NO. OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON TO THE CULTURE CELEBRATION. YOU'RE UP. ALEX. RHYTHMS. CULTURE CELEBRATION. THROUGH MUSIC AND VOICE. RHYTHMS OF CULTURE IS A LIVE PERFORMING ARTS EVENT FEATURING MUSIC, SPOKEN WORD AND CULTURAL STORYTELLING. LED BY KAITLYN HAYES, A RISING VOICE IN CONTEMPORARY PERFORMANCE, THIS UNIQUE EVENT WILL HIGHLIGHT THE POWER OF SOUND, RHYTHM AND IDENTITY WHILE OFFERING AN INSPIRING EXPERIENCE THAT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. AT THE DUNCANVILLE AMPHITHEATER TOTAL PROJECTED BUDGET IS $9,300. BUT DOESN'T SAY WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. SO I BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THEY DID NOT SEPARATE OUT BECAUSE THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT WAS NOT SENT THROUGH THE FORM. THIS WAS SENT BY EMAIL AS THIS I WENT AHEAD AND DEDUCED THAT WHAT THE REQUEST WAS WAS THE $9,300, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NOTHING THAT PULLED THAT OUT OR MADE A SEPARATE REQUEST FOR A DOLLAR AMOUNT. OTHER THAN THIS, THIS IS A SINGLE EVENT. THIS IS A SINGLE EVENT, THOUGH. YES. SO THEY QUALIFY FOR THREE? YEAH. IS IT DOES IT COMPORT WITH OUR FUNDING POLICY? YES. YES, YES. IS IT HOT ELIGIBLE? YEAH. YES, IT IS ACTUALLY. AND I LIKE THE FACT THAT IT'S WHAT I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT SOME OF THESE APPLICATIONS, ESPECIALLY. I MEAN, IT'S EVEN IN THIS ONE IS EXPRESSION OR USING. I LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY'RE USING MUSIC AS THE ART, BUT THEY'RE ALSO MAKING CERTAIN THAT THEY'RE USING LOCAL, LIKE THE DUNCANVILLE AMPHITHEATER. I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT IT'S FREE. I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT IT'S IN A PUBLIC SPACE. SO THAT'S WHAT I LIKE. SO FOR THE RECORD, IT'S CALLED THE. WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY HOPEFULLY THE CITY COUNCIL WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY IT'S IT'S A BIG DEAL. AND IT IS IT'S NAMED AFTER A POLICE OFFICERS WHO WERE WHO WERE KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY. BUT YEAH, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET IS THERE A MOTION? MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL FUND THE RHYTHMS OF CULTURE CELEBRATION THROUGH MUSIC AND VOICE PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF 3000. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND? OKAY. THERE'S A TIFFANY. SECONDED. TIM, CAN WE GET ANY ANY INSTAGRAM OR ANYTHING FROM KAITLYN HAYNES, WHO IS THE ARTIST THAT WILL BE PERFORMING PRIMARILY? DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT'S IN THERE? I DID NOT DIG IN ON HER INSTAGRAM. YEAH, I WAS JUST KIND OF CURIOUS, LIKE ON HER FOLLOWING, BUT ALSO TO LIKE THE OTHER ARTISTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PART OF THIS LINEUP. I'M JUST CURIOUS, LIKE IF THEY'RE LOCAL OR LIKE WHAT KIND OF AUDIENCE THEY'LL BE BRINGING, YOU KNOW, LIKE, ARE THEY FROM OTHER CITIES OR OTHER STATES? DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT REQUIRING THAT THEIR LOCAL ARTISTS OR FAR AWAY ARTISTS. JUST REMEMBER, A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WE'VE USED HAVE NOT BEEN LOCAL, SO JUST REMEMBER THAT. YEAH, BECAUSE IF WE REQUIRE THEM TO USE LOCAL, THEN THAT MEANS WE NEED YOU. OH, YEAH. NO, I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE. I WAS JUST WONDERING, LIKE, IF IT WAS GOING TO BRING PEOPLE IN REGARDLESS IF THEY'RE LOCAL OR NOT.
I DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE, BUT. OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND. ALL OPPOSED? EXCUSE ME. UNANIMOUS. MOVING ON. RHYTHMS OF THE RHYTHMS OF THE HEARTBEAT. DANCE EXPERIENCE. THIS IS AN ANNUAL ARTS PROGRAM GRANT FOR A NONPROFIT. THIS EVENT WILL FEATURE VARIOUS DANCE FORMS TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AMONG OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. DANCE IS AN EXCELLENT MEANS OF CARDIAC ENGAGEMENT FOR ALL AGES. PINK DIAMONDS HAS A MISSION OF PROVIDING HEALTH AWARENESS AND EXERCISE EVENTS THAT ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. A FULL, DETAILED BUDGET 5800 IS THE TOTAL BUDGET. THE AMOUNT REQUESTED IS $3,000. AND THIS IS FOR THE GRANT CATEGORY IS FOR A ANNUAL ARTS GRANT. BUT ONLY ASKED FOR $3,000. CATEGORY? YEAH, I AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, OUR POLICY IS THAT WE DO A LOT OF EDUCATION. WE'VE DONE I WILL SAY THAT THIS PARTICULAR APPLICANT HAD SOME CHALLENGES WITH THE FORM THE FORM, FOR WHATEVER REASON, WAS A CHALLENGE ON THE DAY THAT SHE WAS APPLYING. AND THEN SHE WENT THROUGH THE EXTRA EFFORT OF COPY AND PASTING, PUTTING IT ALL INTO WORD. SO THAT COULD BE PART OF THE REASON WHY THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED. LIKE THIS. DISCUSSION MOTIONS. I REALLY LIKE THIS BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS. ONE OF THE I THINK THE DANCE IS I LOVE THIS, FIRST OF ALL. AND I THINK IT'S ALSO I LOVE THE FACT THAT IT'S KEEPING PEOPLE ACTIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND IT'S ALSO FOR A GOOD CAUSE. SO I THINK IT KIND OF TIES IN THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH US ALSO SHOWING THAT WE CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. AND I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY WOULD BE A SINGLE EVENT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN ANNUAL EVENT THAT THEY HAVE. THEY'RE ALREADY ASKING US FOR A SINGLE SUPPORT FOR THIS ONE EVENT THAT THEY HAVE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CORRECT. SO I DO THINK IT'S IT BRINGS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER. I THINK THERE'S OVER THERE WAS LIKE MAYBE 300 PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED LAST YEAR. AND I THINK WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED OFF WITH LIKE 200 BACK IN APRIL, OKAY. 200. SO I KNOW IT WAS A COUPLE HUNDRED VERSUS LIKE FIRST COUPLE TIMES. I THINK IT WAS LIKE TEN OR 20 OR 30. SO THEY'VE GROWN IT. AND THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE FROM DALLAS THAT COME IN FORT WORTH AND STUFF. SO I THINK IT MAKES US LOOK REALLY GOOD. AND I THINK THAT INCORPORATING THE ARTS PART AS FAR AS FOR DANCE AND STUFF, I THINK THAT'S REALLY GOOD. JUST LIKE THAT. THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS IT SHOWS THAT IT'S IN A PUBLIC SPACE. I DID FOLLOW UP, AND SHE HAS RESERVED THAT SPACE. THAT SPACE IS RESERVED AND ALREADY COMMITTED.
