? <br />the Cominunity Partnership and thought that each of the members should have one. He <br />questioned if the Clerlc could call and request more copies. The Clerk indicated that he <br />would. 1'v1rs. App noted that they have a wonderful web site. They have put together all of <br />the studies and surveys that have been done in all the coinmunities that have been <br />participating in this to help each community come up with their own goals. That is how <br />Berea has been developing their arts program. She talked about the Berea Summerfest and <br />how nice it is. She attended last summer and it is a one-day affair. It wasn't your standard <br />fair because there was no fried food and there were so many diverse artists displaying their <br />talent. Mr. Raig commented that they should start discussing their own goals and objectives. <br />Mrs. App indicated that Mrs. Beach asked her to let the board know that she has gathered a <br />Iot of names from a 1ot of different organizations in town. It is kind of the beginning of a <br />basic list that they could perhaps solicit memberships from. She is Doing to make that <br />available to everyone on the committee so that they can also add names to it. She was <br />wondering if there was any money available through Council or the administration that <br />would allow the board to even do a mailing to people letting them know what is being <br />created and what the board needs from them. They do need to tell people what the goals are. <br />Mr. Raig suagested that he would get in touch with the Mayor to see if that would be feasible <br />and how to go ahout it. Mrs. App questioned if Mr. Thompson said he was going to work on <br />the logo. N1r. Thompson i-eplied that he didn't say that. Mrs. App questioned if he was so <br />incIined to, or is it something they can do w'rth special type and just the name of the <br />cominittee. 1V1i-. Thompson indicated that he was sure he could come up with something. <br />Mrs. App suggested that if he would be so inclined to come up with one then she would be <br />able to make it usable on the computer. 1VFr. Raig indicated that simple would be good in <br />terms of a logo. Mrs. App questioned expanding the number of coinmittee members. Mr. <br />Raig indicated that he was in touch with the Iega1 department and they will help write and <br />expand that piece of legislation. It would then have to be accepted by Council. Mrs. App <br />questioned if they couldn't do anything until that step is completed. Mr. Raig replied right. <br />He sugjested that they should look at re-writing- 159.01 and 159.02 and defining what those <br />things would be, but that could probably be done after the committee is expanded. While the <br />legislation is beina prepared for expanding the committee the board should look at things lilce <br />coming up with people they might want to add, who they inight be or types of people they <br />want. He noted that the Mayor sent a memo to Carolyn Kasler, the Chairpei-son of Inter- <br />governmental relations, asking for all of us to be i-e-appointed again for another year. The <br />Mayor had asked Mr. Raig to call all of the board members and ask if everyone was <br />interested in serving another year. He indicated that the first goal he came up with was <br />editing and expanding Chapter 159. Mrs. App suggested that one of the goals should be to <br />develop a plan of action. Funding and promotion would be kind of a second gaal. Another <br />thing_they should think about is distribution, in otlier words, where would there be a central <br />Iocation for programs. Education would fit into that too. Not just providing programs for <br />entertainment, but also provide programs that educate about the arts as well. Another coal <br />could address coordination and collaboration with other groups in the region. The last one <br />she had would involve public identity. Creating a recognizable community identity through <br />the arts and cultures. Mr. Garland sugjested expanding the schools art shows to incIude <br />adults and so forth. Mrs. App questioned how they want to affect the identity of North <br />Olmsted through the arts. Might we want to affect people's perception of North Olinsted <br />through the arts? Mr. Garland indicated that then you would go into a jury or judging type of <br />2
