Mr. Raig indicted that the Mayors secretary has submitted a matrix/chart. It shows that 58 cities were contacted to find out if they had a Cultural Arts Commission and none of the 58 cities did, however, 4 of the cities have cultural arts buildings that are not run or owned by the city. Mrs. Martindale suggested that other cities might call their art representatives something different. The Clerk commented that the Mayors secretary was trying to find out if other cities had a commission, so the board could review their City ordinances or by-laws regarding Cultural Arts. Mr. Raig suggested expanding the search further than surrounding areas and questioned if any board members had suggestions.
