Major points discussed:
New members were introduced. The Chairperson explained
changes taking place in finding b7- the State Arts Lottery
Commission: funding will now be accomplished yearly, with a
Fall -Fall fiscal year. The dollar .amount is likely to be
half of that expected in the past. In the future, PASS
funding will be absorbed into the heading of the Arts
Lottery funds. Carole then reviewed guidelines pertaining
to the Council's proceedings.
Patrice Davern then presented her reasons for requesting
funding for the MEAL programs in the Public Schools.
Following were discussions of each grant application,
materials submitted, and questions about various aspects of
the proposals. Some requested amounts were reduced, to
conform with the precedent that projects originating with
Municipally funded institutions should be matched only with
Arts Lottery funds. This type of reduction affected the
applications of the Mansfield Public Library, part of the
MEAC request, and the Town of Mansfield town records
preservation project.
The application of Marianne Silvi was reduced following
comments that the per -hour fee seemed high, and the
suggestion that charging a fee to students for the program
would be a reasonable source of additional revenue.
A stipulation was attached to the application of Donald
Bastarache that the proposed concert be held at a Mansfield
location, and that he needed to facilitate publicity for the
event by communication with the Dept of Parks and
Recreation.
Actions taken:
Ultimately, all projects were funded by unanimous vote and
the total amount of funds available was allocated.
