Christi Martin, 5604 Longhorn Dr, informed the board that there are people

which will come down at the end of the month (November).

because the version of the use agreement that was sent for approval was the same
as the one CAB had approved.
5. Discussion and consideration of participation in National Dance Week.
Member Shailer gave out a 3-idea plan for dance week. Further discussion was
tabled until the next meeting.
6. Discussion and consideration of Lakeside Arts Foundation's use of both rooms of
the Lakeside Arts Center on February 21, 2009 from Ipm to 6pm to hold
auditions for a Spring Community Showcase fundraiser.
Unanimously approved.
7. Discussion of the functional and operational roles of the CAB.
Member Martin inquired about the CAB's role in "soliciting gifts" for the city, as
cited in the charter. The board discussed the CAB's capacity for raising funds for
arts functions (i.e - a tent for the Pirates Days event). There would have to be a
fund account set up through the city, so the matter would need to be brought to
the City Council.
8. Discussion of expanding next year's photography contest into a "media
exposition'
The board discussed adding video and music to the contest. Ideas included an
ongoing "film festival" throughout the day, entrants also making posters for their
entries, art display in hospitality tent. Discussion will continue with January's
agenda.
9. Discussion and consideration of procedure and policy concerning keys to the
Lakeside Arts Center.
Procedure and policy will remain as is.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00 pm
