          [4.a. Arts Calendar]
START WITH ANGELA AND WE'RE GOING AROUND. OKAY. MR. SHEPHERD HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK THE EVENT BLOOM FEST. AND IT WAS NICE AND I SAY ATTENDED. WE HAD GOOD HEALTH AND WE HAD A LOT OF FOLKS THERE. WE HAD TO SHUT THEM DOWN AND PUSH THEM AWAY AT THE END. BUT IT WAS REALLY IT WAS SLOW STARTING OFF, YOU KNOW, EARLY AFTERNOON, 430, BUT AFTER THAT IT JUST GOT REALLY BUSY. 
          YOU ALL WERE THERE. SO IT WAS IT WAS NICE. THEY ENJOYED THE ROCK PAINTING AND THE EASEL PAINTING. 
          I MEAN, WE HAD KIDS AND ADULTS LINED UP READY TO PAINT. THAT'S A GOOD. I WAS THERE. I DIDN'T NECESSARILY VOLUNTEER, BUT I WAS THERE FOR A LITTLE BIT FOR THE MUSIC. IT WAS REALLY IT WAS FUN. 
          THERE WAS A LOT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE. I MEAN, IT HAD A LOT OF COOL LITTLE, I GUESS, INSTAGRAM LIKE PICTURE TAKING PHOTO OPS AREA, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS PRETTY COOL. AND THEN THE VENDORS, THERE'S A LOT OF VENDORS. I DID DO A LITTLE BIT OF SHOPPING AND SO YEAH, IT WAS FUN. GOOD. I THINK I'M GOOD. YEAH. OKAY, SO THAT'S YOUR REPORTS AND THAT INSTEAD OF A PERSONAL REPORT, ARE WE DOING PERSONAL REPORTS? PERSONAL. YOU CAN DO PERSONAL. OKAY. I'M SORRY TO MISS. MY GRANDSON WANTED TO GO TO DALLAS SYMPHONY, AND I HADN'T BEEN IN A WHILE, BUT I WILL REPORT ON THAT. USED TO. IT WAS MOSTLY JUST LITTLE OLD, GRAY HAIRED AND PURPLE HAIRED LADIES. THAT'S NO LONGER TRUE. IT WAS A YOUNGER AUDIENCE, VERY ENTHUSIASTIC. I WAS SURPRISED. SO YAY, DALLAS SYMPHONY! LET'S HAVE THEM DOWN. THE ART PROJECT DOWN AT THANKS-GIVING SQUARE HAS COMPLETED AND THE LAUNCH IS JUNE 22ND IN THE AFTERNOON TO DUSK. THERE'LL BE SPEAKERS THESE LARGE FOUR BY EIGHT PAINTINGS, AND WE'LL DO THAT. THAT'S FINE. YOU WERE ALL KIND. YOU NOTICED THAT I READ A POEM. IT MUST BE A SIGN. I BROUGHT IT IN. I DON'T HAVE IT, SO I'LL NOT READ IT. SO IT'S IN THE CAR. OH, OKAY. OKAY, I TO WORK BLOOM FEST. AND I WAS JUST REALLY, REALLY PLEASED WITH THE TURNOUT, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST YEAR. YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THINGS ARE GOING TO GO THE FIRST YEAR. BUT LIKE ANGELA SAID, AND WHAT I HAD HOPED FOR WAS ALL AGES AND WE HAD THAT. 
          ONE OF THE COOLEST MOMENTS WAS THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN, REALLY A TEENAGER, AND HIS MOM BOTH SAT DOWN AND THEY PAINTED PICTURES BESIDE EACH OTHER. AND THEN I HAVE A REALLY COOL PICTURE OF THEM TOGETHER HOLDING THEIR THEIR PAINTINGS. AND ANYWAY, THERE WERE JUST SOME COOL MOMENTS LIKE THAT THAT WERE, THAT WERE REAL TOUCHING TO SEE AND TO SEE THE CHILDREN, THEY WOULD COME UP AND THEY GO, IS THERE A CHARGE FOR THIS? LIKE, NO, IT'S FREE. AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED, YOU KNOW. SO IT WAS REALLY ENLIGHTENING AND HEARTENING TO SEE THAT THAT INTEREST LEVEL AND, AND THEN REALLY WANTING TO DO THAT. SO I WAS PLEASED ABOUT THAT. AND THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN. AND WE COULD HELP. AND IT WASN'T IT WASN'T HORRIBLY HOT. IT WASN'T GREAT. 
          IT WAS HORRIBLY HOT. SO WE WERE ACTUALLY WE WERE UNDER THOSE GREAT TREES, WHICH WAS REALLY A LOVELY, ARTSY PLACE TO BE. SO IT TURNED OUT TO BE QUITE NICE, I THINK. ON ANOTHER NOTE, LITTLE COMMUNITY THEATER IS EVERY YEAR WE HAVE KIDS CLASS AND TEEN SCENE, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THAT'S AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS. KIDS CLASSES K THROUGH FIVE. TEEN SCENE IS SIXTH GRADE THROUGH 12TH GRADE. I MEAN SIXTH GRADE THROUGH 10TH GRADE. YOU GET IT WRONG. AND THOSE ARE TAUGHT BY TEACHERS FROM THE GRAND PRAIRIE FINE ARTS ACADEMY. SO THEY'RE REAL QUALIFIED. AND THIS YEAR WE'RE DOING WILLY WONKA. I THINK LAST YEAR WE DID ALADDIN. AND 
          [00:05:07]
THE YEAR BEFORE THAT WENT UNDER ONE DALMATIANS. BUT WE ALWAYS MAKE A IN TWO WEEKS. THOSE KIDS ARE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A PRODUCTION AND THERE IS A CHARGE FOR THE CLASS. THERE'S A TAB ON THE THEATER'S WEBSITE, BUT WE HAVE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE. WE HAVE SOME GENEROUS PATRONS WHO ALWAYS MAKE SURE, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALSO APPLY SOME OF THE MONEY FROM THE CITY, BECAUSE IT DOES PROMOTE TOURISM. THOSE GRANDPARENTS COME FROM ALL OVER THE STATE TO SEE THOSE CHILDREN PERFORM. AND ANYWAY, I WOULD LIKE FOR THAT EVERYBODY TO KNOW ABOUT THAT OPPORTUNITY AND THAT IT'S A TWO WEEK JUNE 16TH THROUGH JUNE 27TH, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WHEN I SAY 16 THROUGH 27TH, WE DON'T REHEARSE ON MONDAY, ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, ALTHOUGH WE WILL. THE FINAL PERFORMANCES WILL BE THAT FRIDAY NIGHT, THE 27TH, AND THEN SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THE 28TH. WE'LL DO TWO PERFORMANCES OF THE WILLY WONKA. SO ARTS OPPORTUNITY. ALL RIGHT. SO I TOO WAS THERE AT THE BLOOM FEST AND SPENT SOME TIME THERE. IT WAS FUN TO LET MY CREATIVE JUICES FLOW A LITTLE BIT TOO. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALWAYS FUN TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE TO KIND OF PRIME THE PUMP FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND TRY IT OUT. SO THAT WAS FUN. I HAVE A POEM BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT. THIS ONE'S CALLED TOGETHER. LONG HAVE THE ARTS BROUGHT SOUL AND MIND TOGETHER AS ONE ENRAPTURED HEART REACHING OUTWARD, ENTWINED IN NOTE AND TONE AND WORD WILL CHANGE COMPLETELY. OR BRING TOGETHER SIGHT AND SOUND OF BRUSH AND KNIFE FROM HAND OR MOUTH. WORK TOGETHER, BRING TOGETHER SOUL AND MIND TOGETHER. I LIKE THAT, SO I TRY TO TRANSCRIBE IT FOR THE MINUTES, AND SOMETIMES IT'S MORE CHALLENGING THAN OTHER TIMES. OKAY, I THOUGHT ALEX WAS GOING TO SAY IT AT HOME. HE'S GOING TO SHUT YOU UP. HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE TO REPORT? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT, SO WE'RE DONE WITH 
          [5. First Presbyterian Church, Duncanville Mural]
FOUR. LET'S LOOK AT FIVE. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WAS GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME AND SPEAK 
          [Items 6.a. - 6.e.]
WITH US. HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO MAKE IT TONIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO JUMP OVER TO SIX WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING DIFFERENT EVENTS. SIX A SEEMS LIKE WE DID THAT, PRETTY MUCH. DOES ANYBODY DO WE NEED TO SAY ANY MORE? HOW MUCH MONEY WAS IT JUST TO KNOW WHAT WAS THE WHAT WAS YOUR BUDGET? WHO HAD THAT BUDGET. WAS IT AN. ALEX? ALEX, DIDN'T YOU ORDER? ALEX, YOU PURCHASED THE ITEM? I THINK IT WAS ABOUT WHAT, 300, $400? SOMEWHERE IN THAT. YEAH. AND ANNE DONATED THE PAINT. SO IF WE WERE TO DO IT SANS ANNE AND TIM'S DONATION, THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PROBABLY HAVE ANOTHER. AND THEY GOT THE ROCKS AND THEY GOT THE ROCKS. SO WE WOULD TAKE ANOTHER 200 TO 300 PROBABLY IN THE FUTURE. I THINK IT'S SUCH A TESTAMENT TO HOW MUCH YOU CAN DO, BECAUSE OUR I THINK OUR GOAL IS ALWAYS TO TOUCH THE COMMUNITY AND ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND IT SHOWS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE A HUGE SPONSOR TO DO THAT. I THINK I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT. I HATE THAT I WAS OUT OF TOWN, BUT I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THE FIRST ONE WENT REALLY WELL. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I THINK IT WILL BUILD MOMENTUM AND TIME, BUT LIKE, I LOVE THAT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S VERY UNIQUE. LIKE IT'S A ROCK PAINTING. IT'S SOMETHING THEY'RE GOING TO REMEMBER. IT'S NOT LIKE EVERY DAY YOU'RE GOING TO A FESTIVAL. YOU'RE LIKE, OH, THERE'S ROCK PAINTING EVERYWHERE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND THEY'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT. AND I THINK WE'RE CREATING MEMORIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND IT SHOWS THAT WE CAN BE SUPER IMPACTFUL AND NOT TOO LONG. SO I LOVE THAT. JUST SO THAT YOU'VE GOT THIS, IT WAS 194, 93. THAT WAS PAPER TOWELS AND PAINTS. AND THEN IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL 37, 21 FOR THE MARKERS AND CUPS. SO. TWO SECOND QUESTION. YES, ABOUT YOU. AND THEN SO WE HAD SAID ABOUT 500 WAS WHAT WE THOUGHT. SO IF WE HAD HAD TO PURCHASE THE, THE, THE PAINT AND THE ROCKS, AND THAT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT THOSE ROCKS ARE NOT CHEAP. NO, NO, THEY'RE NOT, NOT DIRT CHEAP. NO, NO. SO SECOND QUESTION. YOU TALKED ABOUT PHOTOS. DO THOSE GET POSTED. DO PEOPLE NEED TO SIGN RELEASES FOR THAT OR DO YOU ASK PERMISSION. HOW DO YOU DO THAT? WE JUST I SAID, HEY, DO YOU MIND IF WE POST THESE? NO, IT'LL BE FINE. THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE DID. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY RELEASES OR WE ACTUALLY POST ANYTHING. ARE WE POSTING ANYTHING ON THE DUNCANVILLE OR ANYTHING ON THE ARTS COMMISSION? I JUST NEED THE CONTENT. I MEAN, I DIDN'T KNOW I HAVE A BUNCH OF PICTURES. I THINK WE ALL DO. AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED ME TO SHARE THOSE WITH YOU. IF I COULD, I COULD PUT THEM ON A THUMB DRIVE AND BRING THEM TO YOU. I DON'T 
          [00:10:03]
KNOW IF WE WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM, OR WE JUST WANT TO ARCHIVE THEM SOME PLACE AND KNOW THAT WE HAD THEM. I'D LIKE TO PUT THEM ON THE. YEAH, WE HAVE NOTHING ON OUR FEED, BUT I HAVE SOME REALLY COOL PICTURES OF THE KIDS AND PARENTS WITH THE KIDS. AND YOU KNOW, THAT WERE I THINK SHOWS ARE AVAILABLE. I THINK WE SHOULD JUST PUT THEM ON A LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE A DRIVE THAT WE CAN DROP THEM INTO EACH EVENT. SO THAT WAY THEY CAN IMMEDIATELY. I THINK, I THINK THE BEAUTY OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS WHEN THINGS ARE HAPPENING IS TO SHOW IT. SO EVEN LIKE WE LITERALLY NEED TO HAVE THEM UP BY LIKE PAST, YOU KNOW, SO BUT I THINK THERE ARE GREAT PICTURES FOR PEOPLE TO SEE AND REMIND THEM OF A GREAT LEADER. SO I THINK THAT MAYBE IF WE CAN GET THEM POSTED NO LATER THAN THURSDAY, AT LEAST IT'S STILL IN THAT NEWS CYCLE, YOU KNOW? SO AT THE VERY END, BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY, WELL, THE NEXT WEEKEND. BUT I TRIED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF AS THEY PAINTED, WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY PAINTED AND THEY HUNG THEM UP TO DRY WITH THE CLOTHESLINE AND THE CLOTHESPINS. AND I WOULD SAY, CAN I TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU WITH YOUR, YOUR PAINTING? AND THEY'D ALL GO, YES. AND I LOOK AT THE PARENTS. IS THAT OKAY? YES. THAT'S GREAT. YOU KNOW, NOBODY SAID, OH NO, DON'T DO IT AND DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT. SO I DON'T THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE ANY ISSUE. I DIDN'T GET ANY BAD VIBE HAD WE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE PICTURE. I MEAN, WE JUST SAID, OKAY, WE'RE COOL WITH THAT. SO BUT THEY WERE ALL SO PROUD AND IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THERE WERE ANY ISSUES AT ALL. I THINK FOR FUTURE EVENTS LIKE WE CAN JUST PUT LIKE ACRYLIC POP UP SIGN THAT SAYS, HEY, IT SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS SAY SOMETHING THAT LETS THEM KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE PHOTOGRAPHED IN THIS AREA CAN BE USED FOR PUBLIC, WE'VE DONE IT. IT'S JUST THAT I HAD AN EVENT ONCE AND A WOMAN AND HER CHILD ATTENDED, AND THEY HAD A VERY SPECIFIC AND VERY SCARY REASON FOR NOT HAVING THEIR PATROL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO, YOU KNOW, WE ACCOMMODATED THAT SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT HARD. WE HAD, YOU KNOW, NOT USE SOME OF THE PICTURES OR WHATEVER, BUT YEAH. SO THANK YOU. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. OTHER THAN THE GROUP SHOTS, WHICH I DID TAKE SOME GROUP SHOTS OF ALL THE KIDS PAINTING AT THE TABLE, BUT ANYTHING I TOOK SPECIFICALLY OF THEM, I SAID, MAY I TAKE YOUR PICTURE? AND I MADE SURE THE PARENTS KNEW TOO, SO THERE WASN'T ANY. I DIDN'T JUST DO IT CLANDESTINE AND MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T KNOW SO. BUT THEY'RE ALL ON MY PHONE. THEY HAVEN'T GONE ANYWHERE. SO IF WE WANT TO USE THEM, WE CAN DO THAT. IF WE DON'T, WE DON'T. IT DOESN'T MATTER. SO DO WE NEED TO GOOGLE DRIVE DROP? DO WE HAVE A DROPBOX? I CAN SEND YOU A LINK OR THE DRIVE. EITHER WAY, WE CAN. YEAH, I'LL GET WITH YOU. THERE SHOULD BE A LINK THAT I JUST SEND OUT AND IT HAS ALL THE LIKE ALL THE DIFFERENT EVENTS WE'VE HAD. WE HAVE DROPBOX LINKS FROM THAT. DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I ALL OF THE PICTURES FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT MIXERS AND STUFF IS IT WAS ARTS COMMISSION LINKED THOUGH, OR UNLESS YOU WANT TO JUST MAKE ONE, I'VE GOT ONE, I'VE GOT ONE. AND YOU AND I, WE EMAILED STATE OF THE CITY STUFF ALL THE TIME. SO WE USED TO SENDING HIM THINGS. SO AND I HAVE A FEW PICTURES ONLINE. YEAH. UNLESS YOU GOT ALL THE PICTURES, DO YOU WANT TO SEND THAT TO EVERYONE THAT WAS THERE. JUST MAYBE SEND IT TO THE WHOLE ARTS COMMISSION? WE DID ON THE TEXT PART. WE TEXTED QUITE A FEW. YEAH, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD PUT THEM IN THE DRIVE SO THEY CAN ACCESS THEM IF THEY'RE GOING TO USE THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA. ALL RIGHTY. COMMUNITY ART PROJECT WITH DUNCANVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY, LIBRARY PLANNING AND IS NOT HERE. IS ANYBODY ELSE ON THAT COMMITTEE? YES. THEY NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS AND SENT OUT A REQUEST THAT WAS THE SAME REQUEST THAT YOU SENT OUT, APPARENTLY HANNAH OLSON. AND SO, I DON'T KNOW, RESPONSE IS I'M GOING TO BE THERE 2 TO 4. I'LL BE THERE. SO OKAY. THAT'S TWO. THAT'S IT. AND ANN WILL BE THERE. SO THAT'S THREE. AND THEN I THINK THEY WERE GETTING VOLUNTEERS FROM FRIENDS OF THE VOLUNTEERED AS WELL. SO THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A TOTAL OF FOUR. AND I KNOW SHE WAS ASKING TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF US. AND SHE SAID IF THERE WAS MORE THAN FOUR, THAT SHE HAD SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY TO DO. OKAY. AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S ON THE 31ST, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. AND IT'S FROM DIDN'T IT START AT 130? SO YOU SAID 2 TO 4 IS WHAT I FORGOT. BUT REALLY SORRY, I MAY BE WRONG. I COULD BE TOTALLY WRONG. SO I'M NOT THE ONE TO ASK. OKAY, I THOUGHT I PUT IT IN MY. I HAVE IT FROM 130 TO FOUR. SO WHO'S YOUR 130 TO 4 3430. OH, REALLY? SO WHO'S YOUR EMAIL FROM? I THINK WHEN I WAS READING IT FROM ALEX, I JUST PUT IT IN. I PUT IT IN MY CALENDAR. IT'S THE EVENT IS FROM 2 TO 4, BUT THEY MAY WANT 130 OH 30. YEAH. TO BE THERE AHEAD OF TIME SINCE EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING TO. YEAH, I'M GOING AT 130. SOME REASON THERE'S SOMETHING I SAW THAT SAID 130. I MIGHT JUST BE SET UP A SET UP. YEAH. YOU NEED STRONG MUSCLES. WE'LL BE HERE. YEAH. 
          ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE LIBRARY PLANNING? ALL RIGHT. JUNETEENTH PLANNING, 130 TO 430. SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. I KNEW I SAW SOMETHING, OKAY. JUNETEENTH PLANNING. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING ALONG GOOD. WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME HELP. IS ON THAT MONDAY A LITTLE 
          [00:15:07]
BIT OF THE SETUP FOR THE ROOM. AND ALEX AND I TALKED ABOUT IT SOME THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET THE DRAPING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE NICE THING WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS YEAR IS THAT WHEN WE SET UP THE ROOM, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TO MOVE THINGS AROUND TOO MUCH EACH DAY. IT JUST SET UP ON MONDAY IS THE SAME SETUP YOU CAN USE ALL THE WEEK, AND SO THAT'LL THAT'LL MAKE IT NICE. WHAT'S MONDAY'S DATE TIME? OH MONDAY'S DATE I'M NOT SURE WHEN WE'RE GOING TO I'LL LOOK I KNOW WE HAD WE HAD THE ROOM ALL DAY BUT THE EVENT DOESN'T START UNTIL. THAT'S THE 16TH. £0.06 6:30 P.M. 
          BUT WE NEED TO GET THERE LIKE MAYBE IN THE AFTERNOON AND DO A LITTLE BIT OF THE SETTING UP OF THE OF THE THINGS, PUTTING THE TABLECLOTHS AND EVERYTHING OUT AND JUST GETTING IT TOGETHER. SO THE EVENT IS ALMOST THE SAME TIME EVERY EVENING AND THEY'RE DOING THEIR OWN STUFF. CAN WE GET A PODIUM AND WE'LL FIND OUT. OKAY. AND AT LEAST A. I GUESS A WE NEED A MIC. YEAH, PROBABLY A MICROPHONE. SO THAT, THAT SO AS A PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND I WAS THINKING TWO STOOLS BUT ANYWAYS. BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF WORK. EVERYTHING IS IN THE EVENING. 
          IT'S ALL THE DIFFERENT ARTISTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. THE, THE ONE DAY THAT'S GOING TO TAKE THE MOST WORK PROBABLY WILL BE SATURDAY MORNING, WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES. WE HAVE TO USE THE KITCHEN, NOT IN THE ROOM WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE AT, BUT THE KITCHEN AROUND THE SIDE. WE'RE NOT COOKING THE CHICKEN SOMEBODY ELSE BUT WE NEED BUT, BUT, BUT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT, WE THOUGHT ABOUT EGGO WAFFLES. AND WE'LL JUST WE'RE BUYING THE CHICKEN FROM A RESTAURANT, AND THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS JUST KEEP THE WAFFLES AND THE CHICKEN ON IT AND JUST AND SERVE. AND SO I GOT US LITTLE ART APRONS AND EVERYBODY, OH, MY LITTLE ART APRONS AND JUST WANTED YOU ALL OUT THERE. YEAH. LIKE ON THE SERVING LINE THAT'S ON THAT SATURDAY THE 21ST, THE 21ST. AND THAT'S SATURDAY MORNING. AND THEN IF WE CAN JUST WIN THE INFORMATION ALEX HAS POSTED IT. WE'RE JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS OUT. WE JUST NEED EVERYBODY TO JUST GET IT OUT THERE ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK AND TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND GET FOLKS TO COME TO THE EVENTS. AND THEN ON SATURDAY IS BREAKFAST WITH THE ARTS. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE THERE TO JUST TELL THEM WHAT WE'RE DOING GOING FORWARD AND ABOUT THE POLICIES AND THE GRANTS AND WHAT'S COMING UP IN THE FUTURE. DO WE STILL HAVE THE JOVI'S? YES, WE DO. AND ALEX AND I OR SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GO SHOPPING AND GETTING SOME LIGHT REFRESHMENTS. NOW, I'M NOT DOING ALL THE FANCY STUFF THAT WE DID LAST YEAR. I'M THINKING JUST LITTLE TINY BOTTLES OF WATER AND MAYBE SOME CHIPS OR WHATEVER PACKAGE. AND IT COULD BE THE SAME LITTLE. OH YEAH, BUT I'M THINKING ABOUT THE WAFFLES TOO. THE WAFFLES. YEAH. I WAS JUST SAYING. OKAY, WELL, OKAY. 
          THEY HAVE THESE WAFFLES. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE THEM, BUT THEY HAVE THESE WAFFLES. THEY COME IN LIKE A PACKAGE, BUT THEY'RE YOU JUST GET THEM LIKE THEY'RE ALREADY MADE. THEY'RE LIKE, THEY'RE REALLY GOOD. SO WE I USED TO USE THEM FOR CATERING. BUT THE THING ABOUT IT IS, IS I CAN'T I'LL HAVE TO LOOK THEM UP. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE I GOT TO THINK WHERE THEY CARRY THEM. BUT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO FREEZE THEM OR ANYTHING. YOU CAN JUST LIKE, THROW LITERALLY MADE AND DELIVERED EVERY, EVERY WEEK. LET US, LET US KNOW. BUT WILL YOU NEED SEVERAL TOASTERS? SHOULD SOME. SHOULD WE BRING TOASTERS FOR THOSE? IF YOU DECIDE TO USE TOAST. YEAH, WE USE THE EGGOS. 
          THEY LIKE TO WHATEVER. THEY LIKE TO BE TOASTED. I ONLY KNOW BECAUSE, YEAH, I FIGURE WE'LL FIGURE THAT ONE OUT, BUT BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW. BUT YOU KNOW HOW THEY DO IN SOME ORGANIZATIONS WHERE WHEN THEY'RE SERVING BREAKFAST MANAGEMENT SERVES TO THE FOLKS AND EVERYTHING. SO THE ART GROUP IS WHERE THE SERVERS I JUST WANT TO KNOW IS THIS CUTE LITTLE APRON GOT ONE? THAT'S A BOY. IT'S GOING TO BE FRIENDLY. YES. OKAY. NO. FRIENDLY. FRIENDLY? NO, IT'S NO FRILLS. OKAY. IT'S NO FRILLS, NO FRILLS, NO PRESSURE. BUT THEY ALL HAVE LIKE ART AND TALKS ABOUT ART. I GOT A LOT OF AMAZON, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE. EXCELLENT. CUTE. THAT'S CUTE. THAT'S VERY FUN. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME DO YOU GET THE BREAKFAST CHICKEN AND WAFFLES. 
          BREAKFAST IS FROM. WE'LL BE THERE A LITTLE BIT EARLY, BUT THE BREAKFAST, I THINK IT'S A 
          [00:20:01]
10:09 A.M. TO 11:09 A.M. TO 11. SO WE NEED TO BE THERE AT LEAST ABOUT 8:00. YEAH, YEAH. AND CAN YOU SEND US ALL OUT THAT INFORMATION SO THAT WE HAVE A. YES MA'AM SHOW? SO DO WE HAVE FLIERS WE DO NOW? WELL, WE DON'T HAVE FLIERS. FLIERS, BUT WE DO HAVE EVENTS POSTED ON THE EVENTS CALENDAR FOR THE CITY. AND IT'S POSTED ON THE ARTS COMMISSION'S SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE. AND WE'RE RUNNING THE AD. IT'S ON ALL OF THE OTHER PLACES. WE HADN'T TALKED ABOUT THAT. WE SHOULD DEFINITELY TAKE THOSE ON A BUDGET. AND I THINK THAT YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO TAKE AND LIKE DO AT LEAST A TEN DAY AD, LIKE, WILL YOU HAVE TIME TO DO AN AD? AND YOU CAN JUST, I THINK, LIKE ALEX IS LOOKING TO, TO DESIGN ONE, BUT I THINK WE CAN DO AN AD FOR, I MEAN, DO AT LEAST A $500 BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BUDGET FOR THAT THEY GAVE US. SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD JUST TO LOOK, BECAUSE IT'S I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW AND LIKE AHEAD OF TIME BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR STUFF TO DO. RIGHT. SO. WE CAN SEND IT OUT. NOT JUST BUT YEAH, WE WERE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I WAS TRYING TO KEEP MONEY FOR YOU ALL IN THE BUDGET. 
          NO, I THINK THE THING ABOUT IT IS, IS THESE ARE TWO THINGS THAT WE, WE DECIDED THAT WE'VE DONE EVERY YEAR. I THINK WE'VE DONE REALLY WELL. WE'VE INCREASED THE ENGAGEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY BEHIND HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH AND JUNETEENTH. I THINK IT'S I THINK WE'VE DONE IT REALLY WELL, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. AND I THINK THAT IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE EACH GETTING 6500. I MEAN, WE ONLY CAN HAVE ONE MIXER BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT THE FISCAL YEAR. AND SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT GIVES ME ENOUGH TO HAVE A BIGGER MIXER. AND THEN YOU GUYS STILL HAVE $6,500 FOR ENTERTAINMENT, MISCELLANEOUS AND ADS, YOU KNOW, AND STUFF LIKE THAT. OKAY. CAN WE POSSIBLY DO CAN YOU DO THAT ALEX? OKAY. SO EVERYTHING IS GOING ALONG FINE. I MEAN, THEY'RE DOING THE ARTISTS ARE DOING MOST OF THE WORK. WE JUST WE'RE JUST PROVIDING THE VENUE AND MAKING SURE IT LOOKS NICE. IMMEDIATE NEEDS YOU HAVE FOR MANY OF US THAT WE CAN HELP YOU WITH OR THAT YOU NEED HELP IN. NOT OFFHAND, OTHER THAN THAT MONDAY AND THEN PRIMARILY THAT SATURDAY AND THEN IF DIFFERENT, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO EMCEE OR DIFFERENT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO EMCEE DIFFERENT NIGHT THAN HAVE TO BE THE SAME PERSON, WE CAN WE CAN TAKE TURNS OR SOMETHING. OKAY. YEAH. SO I'M GOING TO GET BIOS FROM WELL, I HAVE SOME ALREADY FROM SOME OF THE ENTERTAINERS AND SO FORTH. SO YOU CAN JUST DO THE INTRODUCTION IF YOU WANT TO DO A CERTAIN NIGHT. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOOD. SO I'M JUST TRYING NOT TO WORK US TO DEATH. THAT'LL BE FUN. THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FOR JUNETEENTH? ALL RIGHT. SARAH'S UP. SO I HAD EMAILED ALEX ABOUT. I'M HAVING TROUBLE COMING UP WITH HOW TO MAKE THIS APPLY OR QUALIFY FOR THE FUNDS THAT WE WERE PROVIDED. SO I DO NEED HELP WITH THAT. 
          I'VE TRIED TO COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE REALLY STICKY BECAUSE THE HISPANIC CELEBRATION THAT DUNCANVILLE IS PUTTING TOGETHER IS, IS THEIR THING. AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'RE YEAH, PIGGYBACKING OFF OF IT, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY OUR THING. AND THEN AS FAR AS LIKE GETTING PEOPLE TO LIKE, STICK AROUND AND SPEND A NIGHT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW LATE IT IS TO GET SOMETHING ELSE TO HAPPEN THE NEXT DAY. SO ANYWAY, I'M JUST HAVING TROUBLE WITH THAT. SO RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO LIKE COME UP WITH IDEAS. I DID. 
          LIKE I SAID, I EMAILED ALEX AND HE SAID HE'LL GET BACK TO ME, BUT YEAH, SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT. IF YOU HAVE TIME, I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT. YEAH, YEAH. SO BECAUSE I THINK YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB LAST YEAR AND I THINK THAT JUST KEEPING IT IN THAT SAME MANTRA AND JUST SHAPING IT UP TO MAKE CERTAIN IT FITS WITHIN THOSE REGULATIONS AND HAVING A MULTI EVENT, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY DID THAT LAST YEAR. RIGHT. SO YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT REALLY WELL. AND SO IF YOU WANT ME TO CHIME IN AND HELP YOU STRUCTURE IT SO THAT STRUCTURES WITHIN THAT FUND FUNDING, I'LL DO THAT FOR YOU. OKAY. AND WE CAN DO THAT LIKE LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY OKAY. SO THAT WAY YOU HAVE A PLAN TOGETHER AND YOU KNOW, AND SO WE'LL GO FORWARD WITH THAT. SO I'LL REACH OUT TO YOU TOMORROW OKAY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULDN'T BE HARD BECAUSE YOU'RE PIGGYBACKING IT ON A MULTI-CITY EVENT. RIGHT. SO BECAUSE THAT EVENT IS ON SATURDAY, SATURDAY, SATURDAY. YEAH. SO IT'S ON SATURDAY. SO THEN WOULD IT MEAN LIKE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A MIXER ON SUNDAY, LIKE WHAT DO I HAVE ON SUNDAY TO KEEP, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP IT GOING BECAUSE I MEAN THE CITY'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE US. IT COULD BE FRIDAY THOUGH, OR THE DAY BEFORE. LIKE, DO YOU THINK, WELL, YOU COULD DO THE WELCOME RECEPTION OR THE KICKOFF. YEAH. 
          YOU COULD DO A WELCOME OR YOU COULD DO A WELCOME RECEPTION. YOU COULD TURN AROUND AND DO A MIXER FRIDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE RIGHT THERE ON THE SATURDAY. THE SATURDAY EVENT IS SOMETHING THAT ALL CITIES ARE DOING IN THEIR THEY'RE PROVIDING MONEY FOR. RIGHT. AND SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS, IS THAT EVENT IS ITS OWN SEPARATE EVENT. AND EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME, IT'S NOT YOUR SKIN IN THE GAME. RIGHT? SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER YOU DO IS STILL IN A SILO, SO THAT IT'S 
          [00:25:01]
BASICALLY CONSISTENCY AND HAS CONTINUITY ACROSS THE BOARD SO THAT THE, THE WHATEVER IT DOES, IT IS TO PROMOTE THE CITY AND PROMOTE THE ARTS. SO LET'S JUST SHAPE IT WITHIN THOSE GUIDELINES SO YOU WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. SO THEN LIKE, LIKE IF WE HAD LIKE A, A WELCOMING NIGHT OR WHATEVER, WOULD IT BE HELD LIKE AT THE SENIOR CENTER OR I THINK YOU COULD DO IT AT THE SENIOR CENTER. YOU COULD ALSO DO IT AT A RESTAURANT. YOU COULD DO LIKE A, YOU COULD DO, WE COULD DO LIKE GET WITH LIKE DON PEDRO'S LIKE HE HAS LIKE THAT PEDRO'S. AND WE CAN TURN AROUND AND DO A SPECIAL KARAOKE NIGHT ON WEDNESDAY. WE CAN DO, YOU KNOW, LIKE THURSDAY AND DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LIKE A MIXER OR LIKE A BUSINESS NIGHT FOR AND INVITE ALL THE BUSINESSES OUT TO ENGAGE. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TURN AROUND THE FRIDAY. THERE'S SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO LIVE MUSIC THAT THERE'S ART. THERE'S ALSO LIKE SCULPTURE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I THINK EVEN WITH GOOD IDEAS. BUT I THINK JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DAYS WE WANT TO DO IT. I THINK THAT'S BETTER, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK HERE'S SATURDAY, RIGHT? AND THIS IS THE OLD CITY, RIGHT? SO THAT'S ALL CITY. YOU REALLY WANT IT TO SANDWICH SOMEWHERE FROM MONDAY? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN TO THAT FRIDAY. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. AND THEN WITH TWO OF THOSE NIGHTS BEING CONGRUENT, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND THEN SO LET'S FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DO, BECAUSE EVERYONE PROBABLY HAS SOME INPUT. LET'S GET IT WHILE THEY'RE HERE. AND THEN WE HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK. BECAUSE WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS AGAIN MARY ANN. GOOD, GOOD. LEAD IN. WELL, I LOVE THE IDEA OF A FRIDAY NIGHT RECEPTION. I THINK THAT'S YEAH. THAT'S GREAT. MAYBE A RESTAURANT WE HAVEN'T GONE TO BEFORE. MAYBE ONE OF THE NEW ONES. YEAH. OH. CAFES AT ALL. 
          IT'S SO GOOD. AND THEY TRULY, REALLY WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY ARE GOOD. 
          YEAH, THEY'VE BEEN TALKING I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DOING THINGS IN THE THEATER AND. OH, REALLY? YEAH. THEY'RE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE RIGHT THERE AT MAIN STATION. SO THERE'S THAT GREAT COURTYARD AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE MAYBE A RECEPTION IN SEPTEMBER. SO THE WEATHER'S STILL BE GOOD, RIGHT. 
          YEAH. SO MAYBE YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THAT DATE I WAS GOING TO ASK. WHAT IS THE DATE? SEPTEMBER 20TH IS A SATURDAY. LET'S SEE. THAT'S THIRD. THAT'S THIRD DATE. SO WE WANT WANT SOMETHING BEFORE THEN. RIGHT. SO YOU WANT THE 19TH I WOULD SAY YEAH THE 19TH RIGHT. YEAH. SO I THINK LIKE IT'S THE THIRD FRIDAY OF THE, THE MONTH. ARE YOU HAVING A SHOW. I WAS GOING TO SAY WE HAVE A SHOW THAT WEEKEND. WE HAVE A SHOW THAT RUNS 18 THROUGH 21. SO IT DOESN'T START UNTIL 8:00. SO IT'D BE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAD A RECEPTION AT LIKE 6:00 OR WHATEVER. YEAH. I COULD LIKE COMBINE, YOU KNOW. YEAH. I MEAN. IT'D BE FINE. THE OTHER SHOW WITH DAYS 8:00. KNOW WHAT DAYS? 18. RIGHT NOW IT'S THE 18TH THROUGH THE 21ST AND THE 25TH THROUGH THE 27TH. SO WE KNOW THAT THAT'S 18. OR YOU COULD HAVE A RECEPTION ON THE 17TH. YEAH. YOU COULD DO, YOU COULD DO TURN LIKE TURN AROUND AND DO LIKE A WEDNESDAY RECEPTION. YOU KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO A NIGHT OR SOMETHING ON THE 17TH. YEAH. LIKE YOU COULD DO LIKE A MERENGUE NIGHT. WE USED TO GO MERENGUE DANCING ON WEDNESDAYS. WE USED TO IT. RIGHT. BUT I DO LIKE THE IDEA THAT THAT MAIN STATION IN THE COURTYARD. YEAH, THAT'S. I THINK THAT'S A REALLY NICE AREA. LIKE, IF YOU DID IT ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WE HAVE FLOODLIGHTS THAT LIGHT, THAT COURTYARD AREA THAT WE COULD TURN ON FOR YOU. THAT WOULD GIVE SOME ADDITIONAL LIGHTING OUT THERE IN THE EVENING. SO IT'S JUST A THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, BUT SHOW YOU'RE DOING IT. WE'RE WORKING ON THAT SO I THINK IT WILL IT WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SPANISH. OKAY. NONE OF THOSE ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION. REMEMBER THAT ONE OF THE MAIN POINTS OF USING HOT FUNDS WITH THE PURPOSE OF HOT FUNDS IS, IS TO PROMOTE TOURISM AND HOTEL STAYS, TO PROMOTE THE HOTEL INDUSTRY, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO PAY THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX. SO YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IF YOU'RE DOING THE EVENT, IF YOU'RE DOING YOURS DAYS APART WITH DAYS SEPARATING, THERE'S NOT MUCH CHANCE THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STAY. SO YOUR INTENTION, YOU WANT TO TRY TO WORK WITH THAT INTENTION OF WHAT IS HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX REQUIREMENTS? WHAT IS THE WHAT IS, HOW TO MEET THOSE OR HOW TO BEST TRY TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL. SO LIKE IF YOU DO WHEN YOU DID THE ORIGINAL JUNETEENTH GALLERY SHOWING, THAT WAS THE DAY BEFORE THE JUNETEENTH EVENT, SO IT WAS BACK TO BACK. YOU HAD THIS EVENT AND THEN YOU HAD THIS. SO THAT GIVES YOU SOMETHING WHERE YOU CAN COME ON TO THE PROMOTION OF JUNETEENTH EVENT, THE BEST SOUTHWEST JUNETEENTH EVENT, TACK YOUR PROMOTION ON TO THAT, AND THEN HAVE PEOPLE COME TO TWO DAYS OF EVENTS. THAT WOULD BE ONE WAY OF ASSISTING IN QUALIFYING. IT IS 68 6 TO 8. ARE YOU GOING TO DO THE NEXT? THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON WOULD BE WE DO 
          [00:30:01]
A MATINEE, BUT IT'S FROM 3 TO 5. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DO SUNDAY BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON I SAY THAT IS A CITY EVENT. WE WANT TO BE IN MY IN MY EXPERIENCE, WHENEVER LIKE WITH COLLEGES AND CITIES LIKE YOU WANT THEM WHEN THEIR STAFF IS ACTUALLY THERE, LIKE THAT'S LIKE THE BIGGEST THING SO THAT PEOPLE ARE AVAILABLE LIKE FOR THE FACILITIES. BECAUSE EVEN WHEN WE DID THAT, WHAT WAS IT THAT WE DID JUNETEENTH OR SOMETHING? THE ALEX HAD TO COME UP HERE AND LOCK THE DOOR FOR US THAT ONE DAY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S BETTER WHEN YOUR FACILITIES PEOPLE ARE ALREADY THERE, YOU KNOW? SO I THINK LIKE, LITERALLY THE GOOD THING IS, IS THAT THE BIG EVENTS ON SATURDAY, I THINK THAT THAT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, WE CAN SCHEDULE SOME THINGS AND THEN MAYBE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MIDWEEK, MAYBE IT'S WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY OR FRIDAY, OR MAYBE IT'S THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, BECAUSE THE SATURDAY EVENT WOULD BE LIKE YOU SAID, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE ALREADY, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SAYING, HEY, LET'S DO SOMETHING FUN ON FRIDAY NIGHT. THAT LEADS INTO SATURDAY. THAT'S TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAN TO HAVE SOMETHING AT THE THINK ABOUT AS AN OPTION, LIKE ONE OF THE CITY BUILDINGS, AND JUST FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BE CONSIDERATE OF THAT AND THE CITY STAFF, THAT'S I DO LIKE THAT IDEA OF INVOLVING AND THEY ARE REALLY GOOD, THE FOOD'S GOOD AND THEY'RE JUST REAL EXCITED ABOUT BEING. YEAH, IN THE COMMUNITY. AND THEN I THINK LIKE WITH YOU, LIKE HAVING A PLAY AND STUFF KIND OF BRINGS MORE PEOPLE. I WAS GOING TO SAY IT WOULD BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE IN AND, YOU KNOW, AND YOU'RE RIGHT. I MEAN, THE HOT FUNDS ISSUE IS IT'S TOURISM AND THE HOTEL INDUSTRY, THE ARTS MONEY IS A LITTLE MORE DISCRETIONARY THAN LIKE SPORTS MONEY OR WHATEVER. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S TOURISM AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE ATTRACTING THEM. SO THEY WANT TO COME BACK LATER AND STAY IN A HOTEL AND DO SOME MORE THINGS IN THE CITY. SO IT'S KIND OF A BROAD INTERPRETATION. IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE AT LEAST CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, WITH EVERY NEW COUNCIL OR NEW GROUP, THERE'S A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION. BUT MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT THE WORDING IS TOURISM AND THE HOTEL INDUSTRY. SO THERE'S A LOT OF BROAD INTERPRETATION AVAILABLE THERE THAT I THINK THAT WE WOULD PROMOTE TOURISM, YOU KNOW, AND SO AND I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL TO DO IT THERE. AND IF WE DID IT, EVEN IF WE DID IT FROM IF 530 TO 730 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN IT WOULD, I MEAN, IF WE HAD IT THAT FRIDAY NIGHT, THE FRIDAY NIGHT IS WHEN THE WOMEN'S CLUB COMES TO THE PLAY. THEY COME TO THE PLAY THE FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT OF EVERY PRODUCTION SERIES WE DO, WHICH MEANS WE'RE FULL. AND I COULD ADVERTISE THAT. PLEASE COME EARLY, ENJOY THE HISPANIC NIGHT AT THE, YOU KNOW, AT MAIN STATION. AND I THINK AND OUR MAILING LIST GOES TO EVERYBODY ALL OVER. ALL OVER. QUITE FRANKLY WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING FROM FREDERICKSBURG AND SEE PLAYS AND THEN OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, WE HAVE PEOPLE IN RUSSIA WHO FOLLOW US WHO USED TO LIVE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. SO AS FAR AS THEY MIGHT GET IT OUT. BUT AS FAR AS SAYING THAT WE'RE SPREADING THE WORD FAR AND WIDE, WE CERTAINLY WOULD BE DOING THAT. SO I THINK THAT IF YOU IF WE WERE TO PIGGYBACK SOME WAY INTO HAVING IT PRIOR TO THE SHOW, THEN THAT MIGHT HELP MEET THE TOURISM CRITERIA. BECAUSE OF OUR FAR REACHING ADVERTISING AS WELL. I LIKE THAT, I THINK I THINK IT WILL HELP ME TO KIND OF FOCUS ON MAYBE JUST 1 OR 2 DAYS, RIGHT? LIKE THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT SO TOO. AND I WILL TELL YOU, IT'S GOING TO BE A MYSTERY. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH HISPANIC HERITAGE. NO, IT'S ONE OF TWO SHOWS RIGHT NOW, BUT EITHER ONE OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE A MYSTERY, BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF SEPTEMBER IS ALWAYS OUR MYSTERY SLOT. SO THAT'S WHY I KNOW PEOPLE. IT'S FINE. YEAH. LET ME I CAN TALK TO THEM AND THEN SEE MAYBE A MARIACHI BAND, BUT IT'LL BE BEFORE YOUR PERFORMANCE. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE. NO, BUT THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO DO THAT. AND LIKE I SAID, I CAN ADVERTISE THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, GREAT FUN OUT THERE. I THINK IT WOULD BE A REALLY NICE WAY TO, TO BLEND THE COMMUNITY. 
          YEAH, I THINK IT'D BE REALLY GOOD. AND WE COULD EVEN DO A BLOCK PARTY THAT COULD GO FROM LIKE LONGER, LIKE 5 TO 9. THAT WOULD BE FUN. OKAY, SO I'LL PUT YOU IN, I'LL TALK TO YOU AND IT COULD EVEN GO LONGER. IT'S JUST MAYBE NOT THE MARIACHI BAND. OH, YEAH. YEAH, BUT, I MEAN, WE NEVER CARED WHAT HAPPENED. IT WAS THE MUSIC THAT PENETRATED THE THEATER. SO IF THEY KEPT HAVING SPECIALS AND PEOPLE HUNG OUT, THAT'S GREAT. WE'RE GOING TO START OUR SHOW AT 8:00. THE MORE THE MERRIER. MAYBE WE'LL WALK OVER THERE AT INTERMISSION AND GO, HEY, YOU KNOW. SO THAT'S ALL GOOD. IT'S JUST THE MUSIC WOULD BE HARD AFTER 8:00, SO. OKAY, I HAVE SOMETHING I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT FOR HISPANIC ENGAGEMENT. PEOPLE IN MY MUSIC FRATERNITY HAVE WRITTEN AN OPERA. IT'S CALLED ANANDA WHICH AND BEATRICE THE BEAUTIFUL. IT'S BEEN PRODUCED SEVERAL TIMES. 
          IT'S FOR CHILDREN AND IT'S 22 MINUTES LONG. THEY HAVE BEEN SIGNED ON AT TCU TO CONTINUE THERE, AND MAYBE FORT WORTH OPERA THAT'S STILL ON, BUT IT'S VERY IT'S BASED ON A MEXICAN FOLKTALE. THERE'S A ERENDIRA. SHE'S THE BAD. SHE'S THE BAD WITCH. BUT IT'S A IT'S A SWEET LITTLE SHOW AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT. MAYBE IF THERE'S A WAY WE COULD TALK TO THEM AND SEE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND HAVE HAVE IT PRODUCED, SAY, FRIDAY 
          [00:35:02]
AFTERNOON, DO YOU THINK WE COULD HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD WE HAVE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, DO YOU THINK, HOW WOULD WE GO ABOUT ASKING FOR I MEAN, IT'S PROFESSIONAL SINGERS. IT'S THAT WOULD JUST HAVE TO COME OUT OF THAT BUDGET. RIGHT? SO COULD IT BE COULD IT BE PERFORMED? COULD WE DO IT? COULD THEY DO A STAGE IN THE COURTYARD AND COULD IT BE PERFORMED IN THE COURTYARD? THEY COULD. BUT I THINK FOR IT TO BE KIDS, FRIDAY NIGHT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE. YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING, YOU KNOW, CENTRAL ELEMENTARY HAS A HAS A STAGE CLOSE BY. SO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE OR THAT PRONOUNCE IT HOBDEN. OH YEAH, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. JUST HAVE HIM PERFORM IT. 
          YEAH. YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A SOUND SYSTEM OUT THERE, YOU KNOW. SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO. 
          THAT WOULD BE AN EXPENSE. I MEAN, SHE'S ORCHESTRATING IT'S GOING TO BE A, AN ORCHESTRA. BUT FOR NOW IT'S PIANO, RIGHT. AND I THINK DEFINITELY FOR EVERYONE LIKE THEIR INFORMATION AND THEIR PRICE. YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. DID YOU SEE IF IT'S EVEN IN THE BUDGET. YEAH. ARE THEY PART OF THE TEXAS ART COMMISSION OR ANYTHING? I KNOW I'M ASKING THE GROUP OR ITS, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY PRODUCE IT WHEN THEY HAVE MONEY TO PRODUCE IT. THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE DONE SO FAR. SO WHEN TCU PICKED THEM UP THEN THAT WILL GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT FUNDING. AND THEN YEAH THEY HAD A NATIONAL GRANT FROM THE FRATERNITY TO START OFF. AND NOW IT'S JUST WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR PERFORMANCE FOR PERFORMANCE. SO CAN I GIVE THEM YOUR EMAIL. WOULD THAT BE OKAY OR YOU. AND YEAH YOU CAN COORDINATE US AND SEE I CAN BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE LIBRETTIST USED TO TEACH HERE. SHE WAS A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER HERE UNTIL SHE RETIRED. AND THEN THE COMPOSER IS UP IN LAKEWOOD OR SOMETHING. BUT IT'S A GOOD PIECE. I MEAN, I'VE SEEN IT A COUPLE TIMES, SO IT'S A GOOD LITTLE PIECE. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THOSE IDEAS. IT'S A CUTE IDEA, A LITTLE BETTER. GOOD. ALL RIGHT. TIFFANY'S. MISS. MEET SIR. MR. MR. I KNOW I WAS UP HERE, RIGHT BACK. OKAY. 61 OH 80 ARTS AND BUSINESS MIXER. SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE GOOD. I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT IN AUGUST. THAT'S WHAT I THINK I THINK WE SHOULD DO. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS. SO I THINK THAT MAYBE DOING IT IN AUGUST AND DOING IT AS, LIKE A BACK TO SCHOOL FOR EDUCATORS AND THE COMMUNITY TO GAUGE. RIGHT? I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. AND I THINK IT CAN ALMOST BE LIKE A I CAME UP WITH A COUPLE IDEAS. I KNOW I SHARED ONE WITH YOU GUYS LAST TIME, BUT I WAS THINKING LIKE, ALMOST LIKE A LITTLE BACK TO SCHOOL AFFAIR AND MAYBE WE CAN DO IT RIGHT THERE IN THE SQUARE BY I MEAN AT THE MAIN STATION OR SOMETHING. SO WE JUST KIND OF FIGURE THAT OUT. I'M JUST KIND OF WORKING THROUGH THOSE. AND I THINK NEXT MONTH MUCH MORE DETAILS BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO I KNEW WE WERE GOING TO FOCUS ON JUNETEENTH AND BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE IN AUGUST. I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. I THINK IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL. 
          PEOPLE ARE JUST COMING BACK INTO OUR CITY, RIGHT? AND THEY GOT TO COME BACK AND DEAL WITH THESE KIDS. SO I THINK THAT JUST GIVING THEM JUST A LITTLE WELCOME, AND I KNOW ONE OF OUR TOUCH POINTS ARE, IS TO HAVE A TOUCH POINT WITH EDUCATORS. SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR US. AND SO NEXT TIME I'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS OF HOW TO LAY THAT OUT OR WHAT HAVE YOU. AND SO WE'LL DO A LITTLE BIT. WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIGGER BUDGET TO DO A REALLY NICE ONE AND BE ABLE TO DO SOME COOL THINGS. BUT I WAS THINKING LIKE A CARNIVAL, LIKE IT WOULD BE OUTSIDE. WE'D HAVE COTTON CANDY, WE'D HAVE SNOW CONES, YOU KNOW, HAVE, YOU KNOW, GIFT CARDS LIKE THAT WE CAN GIVE OUT FOR EDUCATORS TO GIVE OUT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THEY EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY, RIGHT, FOR THESE KIDS. BUT, LIKE, HOW OFTEN DO THEY GET A WIN A GIFT CARD? LIKE JUST SOMETHING STARBUCKS, LIKE, JUST ACROSS THE STREET TO THE SCOOTERS OR WHATEVER, LIKE, YOU KNOW, JUST WHATABURGER, SIMPLE THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I'LL TRY TO COORDINATE AND TRY TO GET SOME DONATIONS FOR THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE WE'LL HAVE A BUDGET TO DO THAT AS WELL. SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. AND SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE HAVEN'T HAD A MIXER FOR A LONG TIME, AND I THINK THAT WE DO THEM REALLY WELL. SO AND THEY'RE SUPER FUN YOU KNOW. SO IT'LL BE SOMETHING WITH A LITTLE TWIST SOMETHING CONSIDER COULD WE CONSIDER MAYBE COLLECTING SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND THEN GIVING IT TO. SCHOOL? I GUESS IT'S MORE TO GIVE OUT TO TEACHERS. I THINK WE COULD GIVE THEM OUT TO TEACHERS THERE. 
          YEAH, I THINK WE COULD JUST HAVE SOME STUFF THERE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES LAST, RIGHT? AND SO YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY OFFICES WILL DONATE, LIKE REAMS OF PAPER. AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN TIMES WHEN I REMEMBER, LIKE, JUST I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, THIS HAS BEEN IN DUNCANVILLE, WHERE I BROUGHT THEM REAMS OF PAPER BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY. AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHY YOU DIDN'T SEND THIS SOMEONE'S 
          [00:40:01]
BACKPACK? WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PAPER. SO I BROUGHT THEM FOUR BOXES. I WAS LIKE, NOW SEND MY STUFF HOME AND MY SON'S BACK. SO I THINK THAT, YEAH, THAT'S ME, THAT'S THE MOTHER. BUT I FEEL LIKE BEING ABLE TO. THAT WAY WE HAVE TIME TO GET DONATIONS AND ASK PEOPLE AND MAYBE WE CAN HAVE SOME DONATION BINS, MAYBE LIKE AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, I KNOW, OR THE CITY AT THE FRONT, YOU KNOW, HAVE IT BEEN AND JUST PEOPLE CAN DONATE OR THEY CAN DONATE. THEY'RE GREAT WHEN WE GET THE CHRISTMAS ONE. YEAH. AND I GOT A LOT OF DONATIONS, YOU KNOW. AND THEN I COULD GET SOME T SHIRTS AND MAYBE SOME LIGHT T SHIRTS AND SHORTS AND STUFF DONATED FOR SOME OF THE KIDS, LIKE I DID FOR THE OTHER MIX OF THE CHRISTMAS. CHRISTMAS BECAUSE THEY, I MEAN, THEY DONATED OVER $500 WORTH OF SWEATSHIRTS AND SWEATS AND STUFF AND EVERYTHING. SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A NONPROFIT THAT DOES THAT FOR A LOT OF LIKE, I KNOW THEY DO IT IN WAXAHACHIE AND MIDLOTHIAN, BUT THE NONPROFITS. BUT I WONDER IF DUNCANVILLE OUTREACH DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND SCHOOL UNIFORMS. WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. YEAH, WE CAN I THINK WE COULD ASK THEM AND WE I THINK MORE IMPORTANTLY, JUST LET'S ASK THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION. I WAS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR FOUR YEARS, AND THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO GET INVOLVED. SO MAYBE WE CAN TEAM UP WITH THEM OR THE ROTARY CLUB OR THE LIONS CLUB. RIGHT. SO I'LL REACH OUT TO SOME PEOPLE AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO BY NEXT MONTH AND HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION MORE DEFINED FOR YOU GUYS. OKAY, GREAT. SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF GREAT THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. ALL RIGHT. NUMBER SEVEN 
          [Items 7.a. - 7.c.]
ARTS FUNDING GRANT CYCLE DISCUSSION THERE. I DON'T KNOW MUCH UNLESS ALEX HAS SOMETHING. 
          I WILL TRY TO MAKE THIS PRETTY QUICK. SO THERE IS A FISCAL YEAR 2425 AND FISCAL YEAR 2526 POLICY GOING BEFORE COUNCIL ON TUESDAY BECAUSE THEY REVIEWED THE POLICY AT THE JOINT MEETING. WE'RE JUST PUTTING IT ON CONSENT. SO THE 2425 HAS AN ABBREVIATED SCHEDULE OKAY. SO IT'S GOING BEFORE THEM NEXT TUESDAY JUNE 3RD. IT'LL BE AT THIS POINT IT'S GOING TO THE CONSENT AGENDA BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY REVIEWED IT. THE 2425 IS AN ABBREVIATED SCHEDULE. SO THERE WOULD BASICALLY BE ONLY ONE GRANT CYCLE. AND IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE 2526, WHICH HAS AN ENTIRE YEAR THAT INCLUDED A MARKETING AND INFO SESSION, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THAT WOULD ALREADY BE HAPPENING THIS MONTH OR ALREADY HAVE HAPPENED THIS MONTH, SO THAT THERE WOULD ONLY BE A SHORTENED GRANT CYCLE. SO I WOULD HAVE TO WRITE OUT OF THE GATE AND START WORKING ON IT. 
          ACTUALLY, AHEAD OF THE MEETING, PUT TOGETHER THE MARKETING, HAVE THE APPLICATION READY TO GO. SO AFTER THEY ADOPT IT NEXT WEEK, I CAN PUT THE APPLICATION UP. THE APPLICATION DEADLINE THOUGH WILL STILL HAVE TO BE JUNE 30TH, BUT IT WILL BE OUR FIRST. KIND OF LIKE WORKING OUT THE BUGS FOR THIS. THEN IT WOULD NEED TO. THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A JULY SPECIAL MEETING FOR YOU TO REVIEW ANY OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SUBMITTED FOR THIS YEAR'S GRANT CYCLE, AND I WOULD NEED. THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE FOR YOU IS WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE THAT MEETING TO HAPPEN? AFTER THE 13TH, I'LL BE OUT OF TOWN TRAVELING THAT FIRST WEEK FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THEN I'LL BE OUT FROM THE SIXTH TO THE 13TH, AND THEN I'LL BE BACK FROM VEGAS. YEAH, I WILL BE BACK FOR THE 18TH. I'LL BE HERE. YEAH, THAT ABOUT THAT TIME I'LL BE GONE. WHEN WILL YOU BE BACK, MAC? SUNDAY THE 15TH. PROBABLY THE 17TH. SO MAYBE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE 19TH AND 25TH. LET ME LOOK AT MY DOUBLE FOR EVERYONE. WELL, WHEN'S OUR NORMAL MEETING? YEAH, IT WON'T BE VERY SPECIAL. I THINK WE HAVE A SPECIAL. WE HAVE A MEETING, A JOINT MEETING OR SOMETHING IN JULY. OH, WE DO, WE HAVE IT WITH THE JULY 22ND. IS THE JOINT MEETING THE REASON FOR THIS PARTICULAR SCHEDULE FOR A SPECIAL MEETING IN JULY IS BECAUSE AUGUST 5TH WOULD BE THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR CITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW YOUR RECOMMENDED APPLICANTS AND YOUR NOT RECOMMENDED APPLICANTS, BECAUSE THEY WILL BE SEEN BOTH. AND THAT WOULD BE THE FIFTH, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FISCAL SERVICES TO BE ON TIME WITH THE DISBURSEMENT OF THE PAYMENTS. 
          HOW ABOUT I MEAN, HOW ABOUT JULY 21ST? YEAH, I'M I'M IFFY MOST OF JULY, BUT I COULD I COULD CALL IN. YEAH, I CAN CALL IN. I'M MORE THAN LIKELY TO CALL IN. OR WE COULD DO IT. COULD WE DO IT ON ZOOM? ALEX, WILL YOU BE EMAILING US ALL THAT OR WILL IT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL BE PASSING OUT? WE NEED TO BE IN PERSON. CAN WE DO BOTH? SO EVERYONE'S AVAILABLE TO ATTEND? 
          [00:45:02]
WELL, I MEAN, OR WE DON'T DO MUCH I CAN I DON'T KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE BECAUSE YOU'RE REVIEWING THE APPLICATIONS. BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T. WE'RE JUST DISCUSSING THEM OR WILL BE WE'RE GOING TO BE VOTING ON THEM. BUT THE LAST OUR MEETINGS IN JULY WOULD BE JULY 29TH, CORRECT? YEAH. BUT ACCORDING TO THE POLICY, WE ALSO INVITE THE APPLICANTS. SO WHY COULDN'T WE DO A SPECIAL MEETING THAT WE COME EARLY ABOUT LIKE EARLY JULY 21ST? OH, YOU'RE SAYING COME EARLY THE 22ND, THE JOINT MEETING. OH, THE JOINT, THE JOINT MEETING. THE JOINT MEETINGS ON THE 22ND. OKAY. THAT'S A 6 P.M. EARLIER THAT MONTH. IT MAKES IT EASIER. I WAS THINKING THE WRONG MONTH. SO IF EARLIER IN JULY I CAN DO. I MAY BE IN LA TILL THE 21ST. WHY DON'T YOU GO TO LA? THE 20TH AND THE 21ST? SO I THINK I'M ABOUT THE 21ST. HOW ABOUT THE WEEK AFTER JULY 4TH? LIKE THE SEVENTH, EIGHTH, NINTH, 10TH, 11TH? NOT THE EIGHTH. OH, THE EIGHTH, NOT THE EIGHTH BECAUSE THERE'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING. NOT FOR ME. OKAY. WHAT ABOUT THE 23RD? NO, WE WERE TRYING TO GET EARLY. GO BACK EARLY. ARE YOU OKAY? EARLIER THE 23RD. I CAN DO THE 23RD. I CAN JUST DO IT. THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF LATE. IT'S NOT, IS IT? WELL, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE UNTIL WE HAVE UNTIL THE FIFTH. DO YOU HAVE LIKE THE NINTH OR 10TH OR ARE YOU AVAILABLE NINTH OR 10TH. YOU DO NOT HAVE UNTIL THE FIFTH. YOU HAVE UNTIL. 
          REALLY THE 20 WE DECIDED IN THAT MEETING. IS THAT WHAT THE MEETING'S FOR? TO REVIEW AND DECIDE. RIGHT. SO EITHER WAY, AS LONG AS WE HAVE IT DONE BY THE 30TH. YEAH, PROBABLY THE 28TH, 29TH. SO WE HAVE UNTIL THE 28TH. SO WHAT ABOUT WEDNESDAY THE 23RD. SO WE NEED THAT ON THE 22ND, THE 23RD AND THE 29TH. I WAS DOING A LOT NOW THAT'S WHY I WAS GOING TO PUSH IT BACK. 
          THAT'S WHY WE WONDERED IF WE COULD PUSH IT EARLIER. WHAT'S YOUR CALENDARS LIKE EARLIER. THE WEEK AFTER. DOES IT HAVE LIKE NINTH, 10TH OR 11TH? NO, I'M I'M OKAY. YOU'RE FREE. EXCEPT FOR THE LAST WEEK. THE LAST WEEK I'LL BE GONE. BUT THAT'S NOT IN QUESTION. SO I CAN NINTH, 10TH OR 11TH, NINTH, 10TH OR 11TH. 11TH IS FRIDAY OKAY? HOW ABOUT THE SEVENTH? IT'S MONDAY. I CAN DO THE I CAN'T DO MONDAY, MONDAY, MONDAY THE SEVENTH FIRST. HOW ABOUT JULY 1ST? JULY 1ST AS A CITY COUNCIL MEETING. OH. JULY 2ND. NOW YOU'RE GETTING INTO THE HOLIDAY. NO, NO, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HARDER FOR OTHER. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY HARD FOR ME THAT DAY, BUT I'M JUST SAYING IS IT'S JULY 2ND, IS GETTING INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND NO ONE ELSE IS HERE TO. BUT IS THAT TOO EARLY? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN IS THE APPLICATIONS OPEN, WHICH IS THE BEST? BECAUSE 30TH IS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE ROUGHLY THE WHEN ARE WE LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS? IT'S GOING TO BE A SHORTENED GRANT APPLICATION CYCLE. SO THEY WILL BE OPEN ROUGHLY THE FIFTH OR SIXTH BECAUSE OF JULY JUNE. SO IT OPENS IN JUNE. ARE WE DOING ARE WE CLOSE THE 30TH? SO HOW ARE WE MARKETING THAT? I WILL GET IT MARKETED OKAY SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW ABOUT IT. SO THEY HAVE BASICALLY JUNE JUNE 2ND THROUGH JUNE 30TH, JUNE 2ND THROUGH THE 30TH. IT WILL NOT BE JUNE 2ND BECAUSE COUNCIL DOESN'T ADOPT IT UNTIL THE THIRD. SO SOMETIME SOMETIME AT THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE. YES, ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF JUNE. RIGHT? YES. AND SO THEY HAVE UNTIL WHEN TO APPLY UNTIL 30TH. BUT HOW DO WE REVIEW AN APPLICATION BEFORE THE 30TH? YOU WOULD BE GOING YOU WOULD BE REVIEWING THEM IN JULY, JULY. OKAY. OKAY I'M IN THE WRONG ONE OKAY OKAY. SO JULY I WAS LIKE, WAIT, YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT PAGE HERE. OKAY, OKAY. WAIT A MINUTE. 
          NOW Y'ALL GOT US. WE'RE JUST DOING TOO MUCH OKAY. SO YEAH, I THINK THAT WORKS LIKE SO WE HAVE UNTIL OKAY. SO I THINK LIKE THE THING ABOUT IT IS, IS AND Y'ALL'S NOT AVAILABLE THE 16TH OR 17TH. I AM. YEAH. WHAT ABOUT THE 16TH I AM TOO. LET'S DO THE 16TH OF JULY. I WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE 16TH OKAY. WELL AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A QUORUM I'M FINE. SO. YEAH. 16TH. ARE YOU OKAY? THE 16TH 1ST JULY 16TH. JULY 16TH. PERFECT. I THINK JULY IS HARD FOR PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT PAGE. YEAH, I KNOW I DIDN'T VOTE ON OKAY. LET ME. WHAT TIME ARE YOU LOOKING AT? 630, 6:00. YOU HAVE ALL SET 630. DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE TIME FOR THAT ONE SO THAT YOU HAVE SOME MORE TIME? SO 
          [00:50:07]
WE HAVE ONE. YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. YOU HAVE MORE TIME INSTEAD OF AT THE END. 
          SHE'S GOT TO GET HOME FROM WORK. YEAH. MY JOB IS MORE FLEXIBLE NOW SO I CAN ASK TO LEAVE EARLIER AS LONG AS I LET THEM KNOW AHEAD OF TIME. SO SINCE I KNOW WAY IN ADVANCE. WHAT START TIME LIKE, CAN WE DO EARLIER OR WHATEVER Y'ALL WANT TO DO, I'M GOING TO MAKE IT WORK. OKAY, I DON'T SAY THAT OFTEN, SO I MEAN, I COULD DO LIKE SIX. PROBABLY NOT EARLIER THAN THAT BECAUSE I STILL GOT 636. CAN WE START AT SIX SIX? YOU CAN WRITE 6 P.M, 6 P.M. AND REMIND US 47 TIMES BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS 630 AND I'LL STROLL IN. IT'S ON MY CALENDAR PERSON. SO PART OF THE PROCESS IS THEY THEY HAVE THEY WANT I WILL TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE APPLICATIONS IN ADVANCE IF YOU WANT TO. MAYBE THEY WANT TO DO A PRESENTATION TO YOU. SO IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST TO HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE THIS BE IN PERSON. SO IF THAT IS AN OPTION FOR THEM, THEY CAN COME AND PRESENT DIRECTLY TO YOU. AND I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE IT AVAILABLE ONLINE AS WELL. LIKE LIKE IN CASE ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS WANT TO DO IT ONLINE IN CASE THERE'S A PRESENTATION OR SOMETHING. OR CAN WE DO THAT. MY RECOMMENDATION, BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU'RE MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE CONSIDERED HAVE AND YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING FROM THEM, THEY NEED TO BE HERE IN PERSON. THEY SHOULD BE HERE. 
          YEAH. THE ARTIST, SHE'S ASKING IF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE COMMISSIONER. YEAH. LIKE LIKE LET'S SAY ABBY DECIDES. WELL, I COULD BE THERE FOR 30 MINUTES AND SHE WANTS TO SEE SO AND SO DO A PRESENTATION. SHE CAN WATCH AS LONG AS I HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY. YES WE CAN. OKAY. 
          CAN WE PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE PRESENTATION? YES, ABSOLUTELY. I KNOW WHEN THE THEATER USED TO DO THEM WHEN WE YEARS AGO WE DID OUR POWERPOINT FOR THE COUNCIL. I WAS GIVEN 8 MINUTES OR 11 MINUTES OR MAY NOT GET THAT LONG. I KNOW WELL, NOT FOR THIS, BUT THAT WAS THAT WAS A BIG THING. WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I MEAN, I THINK WE SHOULD LIMIT IT TO LIKE FIVE MINUTES OR THREE. I MEAN, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD GIVE THEM. IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE PRODUCT, WE DON'T GIVE THEM A LIMIT. ELEVATOR. ELEVATOR PITCH IS ONLY TWO MINUTES. THEY GET THREE MINUTES BECAUSE THEY'RE CREATIVE. SO IT TAKES THEM A SECOND. SO THREE MINUTES AND THAT'S IT. IF YOU CAN'T SELL YOUR PROPERTY. I JUST WAITED FOR CONSENSUS. THREE MINUTES, THREE MINUTES, THREE MINUTES. THAT SOUNDS. WE'LL HAVE THE APPLICATIONS. WE WILL HAVE LOOKED AT THEM. RIGHT. AND WE JUST LIKE WE WILL BE THEN HAVING REVIEWED THEM. BUT THESE I DO THINK YOUR PRESENTATIONS ARE HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM YOUR APPLICATION. THAT'S TRUE. BUT WE MAY NOT THEY MIGHT BE WRONG. AND I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO COME AND NOT BE ABLE TO PRESENT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME THAT HAPPENS IN THE CITY. I MEAN, AT THESE MEETINGS ALL THE TIME, LIKE THEY'LL BE LIKE, OH, WELL, WE'LL GO IN HERE. AND THEN WHEN THEY'RE DONE, YOU LIKE COME BACK IN HERE. AND THEN THEY'RE LIKE, OH, WE STILL CAN'T GET YOU. SO I JUST, I THINK IT'S LIKE IF THEY COME OUT, WE WANT THEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY, LIKE, BECAUSE EVEN IF WE HAD TEN PEOPLE AND THEY DID THREE MINUTES, THAT'S 30 MINUTES OF 30 MINUTES, YOU KNOW, WONDER IF WE HAVE 20, 30 MINUTES. IT'S 45 MINUTES BY THE TIME YOU DO IN AND OUT. YEAH. BECAUSE OKAY, SO GOING BACK OVER THIS AND LOOKING REALLY, REALLY QUICKLY. THEY WOULD BE OKAY. SO DURING THE GRANT CYCLE THEY CAN LIKE DO A SOFT SUBMIT SO THAT I CAN CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT IT MEETS ALL OF THE THINGS. SO NONE THE APPLICATION IS NOT INCORRECT. THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE IS AT AN APPEAL. SO SAY YOU SAY NO, COUNCIL SAYS NO AND THEY WANT TO APPEAL IT. THAT'S IN THE POLICY. THEN THEY HAVE TO BE PRESENT. NOW ONCE WE SET THE DATE THEY MAY WANT TO ASK FOR THAT AND IT PROBABLY BE NICE TO KNOW. SO THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT THAT THEY'RE HERE IN THE POLICY FOR THE APPLICATION REVIEW. IF THEY WANT TO COME. YEAH THEY WANT TO COME. THEY CAN. BUT IF THEY DON'T WANT TO OKAY. IF THEY WANT TO COME THEY CAN. THEN WE GIVE THEM THREE MINUTE PITCH. WELL IF THEY WANT TO COME THEY CAN COME AND NOT EVEN WANT TO PITCH, BUT THEY CAN COME TO THE MEETING. BUT I FEEL LIKE SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT TO PITCH BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE EXCITED. THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME IN OUR CITY. YOU KNOW WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE IN DUNCANVILLE. I MEAN, WE'RE TURNING AROUND. THERE WAS NEVER AN ARTS, CULTURAL, YOU KNOW, COMMITTEE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND NOW WE HAVE A COMMITTEE WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STRIVING TO HAVE A WHOLE WHAT'S CALLED ART OR CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT. I THINK THAT WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AND I THINK THAT OUR EXCITEMENT IS GOING TO BE CONTAGIOUS AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE EXCITED. AND I HOPE, I HOPE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WE CAN BLESS AND BE ABLE TO SAY, AS YOU HAVE SOME GREAT IDEAS AND THEY ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY AND, YOU KNOW, BETTER STUFF, RIGHT? AND SO I THINK IT'S EXCITING. OKAY. SO IT'S OPTIONAL FOR THEM TO COME AND PRESENT. BUT WE WANT TO PUT A THREE MINUTE LIMIT OKAY. RIGHT. 
          SO THAT'S A THERE'S CONSENSUS ON THE THREE MINUTES. YES OKAY. SO IF SOMEBODY SAYS HEY CAN I 
          [00:55:06]
PRESENT PERSONALLY I'LL SAY YES. BUT THE COMMISSION HAS AGREED THAT THERE WOULD ONLY BE A THREE. THERE WOULD BE THREE. YEAH, THERE WOULD BE THREE MINUTES FOR THEIR PRESENTATION. 
          NOW WE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS OR THAT KIND OF THING, BUT THEY HAVE THREE MINUTES IF THEY WANT TO PUT TOGETHER A QUICK POWERPOINT, IF THEY WANT TO DO A SHOW AND TELL, I THINK THEY GET THREE MINUTES TO PRESENT. I THINK IT'S HAVING PRESENTED MYSELF MANY TIMES, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY. THEY WANT THE OPPORTUNITY THEY HAVE, AND IF THEY DON'T WANT IT, THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO READ THAT. 
          WHEN YOU'RE PRESENTING, THREE MINUTES CAN SEEM LIKE I'LL TAKE THREE. I MEAN, I THINK IT'S THE FIRST YEAR AND IT'S A IT'S A SHORTENED GRANT REVIEW. AND I THINK THIS WILL LEARN. AND THEN NEXT YEAR WE'RE TRYING TO GET FREE MONEY. IF THEY CAN'T SAY WHAT THEY NEED IN THREE MINUTES, THEY DON'T NEED. YEAH. WELL YEAH. BUT I WANT THEM I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE NERVOUS. THAT IS NOT OUR BUSINESS. WE HAVE TO STAY WITH THEM, ESPECIALLY IF NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO. WE HAVE TO STAY WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE WORK. YOU DON'T GET TO THEM. NO. THEY GROW. THEY WANT THIS MONEY. THEY'RE GOING TO TELL US WHAT THEY NEED AND THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP IT MOVING. SHE'S NOT GOING TO SMILE AT HIM. WHEN TO DO IT. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO HAVE SOMEBODY SAYS, MAY I PRESENT ME TO SAY THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU STAY WITHIN THREE MINUTES? NO, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TIMER. OKAY? OKAY. THIS IS NOT OUR FIRST RODEO. WELL, IT IS ACTUALLY. AMY'S LIKE, NOT MINE. 
          I'VE BEEN IN THIS LEAGUE FOR 20,000. I'D LIKE TO GIVE THEM FIVE MINUTES AND A LITTLE GRACE, BUT I'D LIKE TO GIVE THEM FIVE MINUTES. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S GOING TO BE QUESTIONS, AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE THEM INTO FIVE AND SIX MINUTES. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT STUFF, THEY'VE GOT THEIR STUFF AND OUR STUFF IS NOT IN THAT THREE MINUTES. YEAH, I JUST KIND OF THINK THOUGH, IF YOU GIVE PEOPLE TOO MUCH TIME, OKAY, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT UP. AND GUESS WHAT? WE STILL GOT QUESTIONS. WE STILL BECAUSE WE MAY NOT HAVE QUESTIONS, AND THERE MAY NOT BE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PRESENT, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE GIVING THEM THAT THREE MINUTE OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS HAVE A THREE HOUR MEETING, AND I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT. THERE'S NO REASON FOR IT. WE'VE GIVEN YOU THE ABILITY TO APPLY UP FRONT. 
          WE'VE TURNED AROUND AND GIVEN YOU ALL THE GUIDELINES AND THE PROCEDURES WE'VE TOLD YOU. LIKE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THIS IS THE DAY OF THE MEETING. IT'S AT THIS TIME AT THIS LOCATION, IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT SOMETHING OR DO A PRESENTATION, YOU NEED TO HAVE IT OVER TO ALEX, JUST LIKE WE GOT TO HAVE IT OVER A WEEK IN ADVANCE. THEY NEED TO THEY NEED TO PROVIDE US THEIR PRESENTATIONS AND THEY NEED TO BE READY TO ROCK AND ROLL. I ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO MESS THINGS UP. OH NO. SO IF I WERE TO HAVE TO BE REMOTE, COULD THEY SEND IN A RECORDING LIKE A THREE MINUTE VIDEO OF WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, AND NOT BE LIVE? JUST. AND WE COULD SEE THAT IF THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE, I DON'T SEE WHY THEY COULDN'T IF SOMEBODY'S COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN. NO, I THINK IF THEY'RE NOT, THEY CAN. SOMETIMES PEOPLE GO TO WORK OR SOMETHING. 
          SO I AGREE WITH THAT. IF THEY IF THEY WANT TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL AND LIKE SUBMIT A VIDEO, A LIVE VIDEO AND SAY, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF GRANTS ASK YOU FOR THAT, FEDEX ASKS YOU FOR A VIDEO FOR THEIR GRANT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO I THINK THAT THEY CAN SEND IT IN. IT STILL NEEDS TO BE SENT IN BY A CERTAIN DAY SO THAT WE CAN ALL REVIEW IT. ALWAYS WATCH IT. YEAH, WE CAN REVIEW IT INDIVIDUALLY. YEAH. AGAIN, THERE'S NOTHING IN THE POLICY AS IT STANDS OTHER THAN THEY HAVE TO BE PRESENT ON AN APPEAL, ON AN APPEAL, SO THEY CAN JUST SEND SUBMIT THE APPLICATION AND YOU CAN REVIEW THE APPLICATION AS IS WITHOUT THEM HERE, WITHOUT THEM HAVING A PRESENTATION. I GUESS I'M ASKING IN CASE THEY SAY, CAN I COME IN AND PRESENT SOMETHING, HAVING SOME SOME SENSE OF HOW THAT WOULD GO WITH MEETING. YEAH. BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE ASKING FOR MONEY, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT EASY FOR THEM TO DO THAT, THAT'S UP TO YOU TO DO TO. I DON'T MIND IF THEY WANT TO SEND A VIDEO. YEAH. THEY MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE TO COME BACK. THEY MAY BE OUT OF TOWN AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SO BUT THEY NEED TO SUBMIT THAT VIDEO BY THE 16TH. BUT I CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF WHEN THE APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED BY YOU. YEAH. SO THAT THERE'S SO THEY KNOW THE 16TH WE HAVE THIS MEETING. IF YOU WANT TO STOP BY, STOP BY IF YOU WANT TO PRESENT PRESENT. IF YOU'RE NOT IN TOWN YOU WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO, DO EVERYTHING BY 6:00 6:00 PM ON 16TH. YEAH, ACTUALLY IT HAS TO BE BEFORE THE THURSDAY BEFORE. YOU BETTER GET THEM, ALEX. 
          THAT'S WHY WE GOT YOU. HE'S THE BIG DOG. YOU HEAR HIM? OH, FOR THE ITEM. SEE, SINCE ON THIS THING, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, I'M GOING TO I NEED TO PREPARE WHATEVER THE INFORMATION SESSION IS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2526. SO THE GOAL IS TO HAVE AN IN PERSON INFORMATION SESSION SO THAT PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND WHAT WE GO THROUGH AS WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THIS ONE. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A LOT THAT YOU SAY THAT NEEDS TO BE IN THE INFORMATION SESSION. PEOPLE WILL NEED TO KNOW THAT. DON'T HAVE IT YET. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO COME UP WITH SOME FORM OF A SKELETON, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WHAT WE NEED TO PRESENT. WHAT WE NEED THAT INFORMATION, NOT WE, BUT WHAT THE INFORMATION SESSION NEEDS TO BE COME AUGUST, BECAUSE 
          [01:00:01]
THAT WILL BE THE FIRST ONE FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE AN AUGUST INFORMATION SESSION ON AUGUST MARKETING PERIOD, BECAUSE WE WILL BE ON SCHEDULE AT COUNCIL, ADOPTS THIS ON ON TUESDAY, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A FULL APPLICATION CYCLE, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE TO DECIDE ON ANOTHER SPECIAL MEETING DATE. SO WE CAN USE THIS ABBREVIATED ONE TO GO THROUGH AND FIGURE OUT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS OTHER THING, SO THAT I CAN MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S IN THE INFORMATION SESSION. THAT INFORMATION SESSION WILL ANNOUNCE. SO IT'LL BE AN IN PERSON. HOPEFULLY I CAN GET CHAMBERS SO THAT WE CAN USE THE SCREENS. ACTUALLY, I THINK I PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR FOR AUGUST ALREADY. SO BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD GET THE ROOM AND THAT I BELIEVE I SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 7TH AT 6 P.M, 6 TO 7 IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS SO WE CAN. SORRY. IT'S THURSDAY, AUGUST 7TH. FROM 6 TO 7 P.M. OKAY. CITY HALL RIGHT HERE IN THIS ROOM. IN THE NEXT ROOM, BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE SCREENS AND EVERYBODY CAN LOOK AT THE SCREENS AND THE PEOPLE CAN KIND OF LOOK FORWARD AND ASK QUESTIONS AND SUCH. SO IT'LL BE AN INFORMATION SESSION, A QUESTION AND ANSWER SO THAT WE CAN THEY HAVE SOME SENSE OF EXCITED. IF YOU GUYS ARE A ALEX, IT'S YOUR THING. IT'S OUR THING. YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE TWERP BEHIND ME. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE GOAL WITH THAT. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THIS SHOULD BE IN THE INFORMATION SESSION AND SUCH. PLEASE GIVE THAT TO ME SO THAT I CAN PUT TOGETHER A GOOD SESSION FOR PEOPLE. OKAY? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT SECTION. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT. WELL THAT'S ALL WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT. SO WE'LL HAVE THE WORLD'S FASTEST ARTS COMMISSION MEETING. YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK? 733 WE NEED TO WRITE IN AND TIM A NOTE BECAUSE I THINK THAT MAYBE THEY WERE ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS, BUT WE AIN'T NEVER HAD THIS MEETING IN TWO. I THINK THIS IS GOOD STUFF. LET ME TAKE YOU GUYS OUT THERE. OH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY COOL. 
          THAT'S OKAY. I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW, OKAY. OR WHATEVER. AND THEN, ANGELA, WHATEVER YOU NEED FROM US, JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER MEETING, IF WE GOTTA JUMP ON A CALL WITH YOU OR YOU NEED US TO COME, YOU KNOW, LEARN SOME GRAPES OR SOMET
