Chairr,aan Raig handed out a copy of the board's mission statement. He said he took some of their notes i.'rom the December meeting and developed them further. He suggested going through the items and as:ked for comments. He said the first item talks about a cultural arts center and said it may need to be broader. Maybe it would be different venues rather than an actual center. He thought the board could evaluate the different venues and determine how to showcase cultural arts. Mr. Garland said it would depend on the location of the building or part of a building as far as how to showcase. Mr. Raig said the second item deals with editing Chapter 159. They have discussed it and can cultivate it however they choose, but it has to be adopted by Council. Mrs. Beach asked if the committee would submit: a draft.

He read the 6th item which is to develop a public relations campaign that enhances the perception of the community through the arts. Mrs. App asked if it would be a public relations campaign of the cultural arts or of the community. Mrs. App said it goes back to Vision 2000. She went back to her files and looked at a summary. One of the items was commiinity atmosphere. It read "to enhance community facilities and other amenities to make our
