Attendance Sheet Passed. Kitte attended meeting via telephone.
Old Business:
A. Minutes of July 2018: Motion: Patty; 2nd Sandy; Unanimous approval.
B. Secretary Selection: There have been no members to step forward to assume the
position. Linda Suggested CRA looks into software that can record and transcribe
minutes. She will continue duties until after Election and appointment of any new
CACAB members. Further Discussion tabled until October meeting.
C. Sub Committee Report: Utility Box(es):
(1) Joan presented the Sub-Committee results from the “Marina” Call to Artists. Committee
narrowed submittals to 5 finalists. No artist names were revealed. Each of the selection
photos was shown, and votes called for each one. Two finalists were determined and a fi-
nal vote taken. The winning artwork was “Pelican, Turtle and Children”. This will be sub-
mitted to the CRA Board on Oct. 9, along with the Utility box artwork for box across from
Attucks Middle School. Further discussion on “Call to Artist Policies and Procedures” to be
discussed at next meeting. Linda will provide all the iterations she has from prior discus-
sions for Committee review at Oct.16 meeting. Procedure for submittal finalized through
CRA & City Attorney.
(2) Atrium Signage and suggestions for Logo and Signage: Kisha passed around several it-
erations of the potential Logo and signage. Kitte had authored several examples months
ago. Since signage has not been funded by the Commission along with the Atrium addition-
al hardware, we will try to move forward with a finalization. Review was made but no de-
termination made. Preferred design narrowed, Final decision” Oct. 16 meeting. We have
approx. $700 for signage.
D. DAD Atrium Art Gallery assistance/volunteers: Linda noted that since it began in June, she
has taken responsibility for food, etc., and seeking auxiliary artists for the Atrium. Although
there have been contributions of beverages, and food in the past, there is a lack of labor to
help. Set-up each month 3:00PM. Henriette has the responsibility of Curator for the main-
exhibits and review or aux artists.
Plans to continue DAD & Atrium Events: Fall and thereafter? Linda explained she did June-
Sept exhibits, but did not want to assume responsibility every month. CACAB members
need to step up to assist. Who will help for future Exhibits; Auxiliary Artists & Musicians?
Other CACAB members need to step in to assist with the Monthly requirements, food &
contributions, and auxiliary artist suggestions for review/acceptance. Sandy offered to
take over with assistance from Linda and/or others. For October and until other volunteers
step forward. Reception for new Artists will be held from 5-7:00PM the same night as Da-
nia After Dark.
E. Gallery Report. Thank you we have the hardware and rods but not certain we received
the wood track for the installation. Will check when Kitte returns.
