3. Review of Lakeside Arts Center (LAC) current issues/status.
Mayor Joe McCourry stated, in regards to the request from the CAB to City

to city staff for review. City staffs Tony Johnston and Troy Powell are currently
reviewing the Lakeside Arts Center Usage Policy. City Council is still in the
process of making a decision regarding this issue; however they have set forth a
few parameters that they are able to present to the CAB in the meantime while the
process is being completed. This process is hopefully to be completed by the end

of December 2010. The immediate direction to CAB is that the current groups
that are using the LAC will continue to do so for the next six months. The Legion
and LCT will continue to use their space under their current working
arrangements. The Radio Club will continue using the Legion space under their
current working arrangements. Peggy will continue to utilize the front room for
her painting classes as scheduled. The building should be open to onetime events,
this will be further explained. All items stated are subject to change once the
policy has been completed. Staff is currently reviewing all of the building usage
policies for all city owned buildings not just the LAC. This policy will be a
greater comprehensive policy than what the CAB was originally working with for
the LAC. Staff will be taking over all scheduling of the LAC. This will free up
time for the CAB to focus on improving the Cultural Arts within the city. The
request for scheduling from July 2011- December 2011 timeframe has been put
on hold and cannot be done by the CAB, with the exception that the CAB can
schedule the request for board meeting space as initially requested on the previous
meeting agenda.
4. Cultural Arts Board/Community Development Corporation subcommittee updates
Staff liaison David Swain noted that the CAMP committee reviewed five
submissions and has been narrowed down to four submissions. All four
companies were interviewed on November 8, 2010. The Cultural + Planning
Group were chosen. They have submitted a scope of work with a proposed
budget. CAMP committee plans to present to the CAB in January for formal
request to move forward to City Council with the presentation.
Member Kidwell requested that CAB be included when the proposal if finalized
to ensure that the scope of work is completed to what is desired from CAB.
Liaison Swain noted that prior to presenting to City Council, changes can be made
to the proposal as CAB sees fit. The proposal will be presented to all CAB
members so that they can formally review what has been presented to date from
the consultant regarding their scope of work and proposed budget.
