N.W. Conference Room
Call to Order: Welcome, Chair Henriette Arnold, Introductions
Attendance Sheet Passed: Quorum in attendance; City Attorney Tom Ansbro; Rickelle
Williams.
A. September Minutes Approval: Motion Luis; 2nd Joan; Unanimous
Note: CACAB does not approve additions to CAC, only recommendations.
New Members are approved by: CRA Director; City Attorney and City
Manager.
B. Sunshine Laws–City Attorney: Tom Ansbro; (1) Difficulty of members being able
to talk to one another. Starting TODAY: Don’t do it anymore! If we are
communicating about things not to be brought before the CAC for approval/vote,
we can talk to each other. But if there is even a remote chance that a discussion
may come to the Board, or be recommended for considerations, it is prohibited!!!
Art information about anything outside of CACAB, people can notify others of other
art shows, etc. Personal communications are OK. Absences report to Kisha or
Chair & Kisha. Art in the Hall: not voted on by the CACAB, discussions about
outreach for artists. Kitte: Operation of the Gallery declared by the City as an Art
Gallery. Sunshine Law prohibits smooth running of the Gallery. CACAB has been
directed to form a Sub-Committee to formulate Art in the Hall plans. If one of the
members has recommendations for artists, this can be sent to Kitte. If a vote is
required by CAC, needs Sub-Committee for discussion. Sandy & Linda are
responsible for monthly selections of auxiliary artists and musicians. Currently, Art
in the Hall participants are determined, once decided, this info is communicated to
the CRA. A flyer is made for media promotion. Email communications, discussions
to/with more than 1 Board member are prohibited. Sub-Committee needed to
discuss and report results back to CRA. Email: Do not reply to all!! Do not discuss

any votes/actions to be taken by the CAC. Post all sub-committee notices 2
days prior to sub-committee.
Rickelle: How do items for the agenda are communicated? Send to Kitte or
Kisha. Everyone can talk to Kisha. She is not a Board Member. Kitte formulates
agenda and send to Kisha.
Kitte can request items for agenda from members; do not reply all - ever!
City Attorney: If not requiring action by CAC, but if 2 or more talk to each
other Art in the Hall, best to post as a sub-committee meeting. If Gallery
artists, only Kitte makes the selections for long term art exhibit. If sub-
committee makes recommendations for monthly exhibitions, C.A.
suggests, if in doubt, Board Members meet as a sub-committee and post
notices 48 hrs. In advance. One to one communication is OK. Do not send
to more than 1 Board member. Do not email back and forth as a
conversation. That is an action. DO NOT DO without a sub-committee,
posting, or Board discussions. Anytime Sub-committee wants to meet, date
Posting, minutes and send to Kisha. Atrium Art Gallery appointed Kitte as
Curator of the Art Gallery, via Bo Donnelly, then Chair of the CACAB,
documented this appointment 4 yrs. ago. CACAB minutes. At this time
Kitte is the only one who makes the Gallery artists. She accepts all
recommendations, and Kitte has a listing of artists. Why does CACAB
funding for hardware for Gallery. Original was done through Bo Donnelly.
Funded by outside sources and City Commission.
Rickelle: How will future funding requests be handled? Did we follow
proper process last request?
City Atty: If a Board Action, budget recommendation, to go through CRA,
and presented to Commission, as we did in the past. This is correct.
C. Signal Box Update: C.A. Permission and approvals needed to release the Mural
Box identifying faces of people. Forms have been provided for signatures before
can be processed for use. Joan asked for clarifications. Explanations provided

Discussion on Written Procedures
E. Dania After Dark: Kitte: Parking of large trucks block Canterbury Square area,
plus asking possibility of relocation of Band to face east.
Rickelle: Stage has to be placed on the concrete pad. Cannot place on the
grass. Could have more vendors to expand displays. Lighting needs to be
improved for after dark now that daylight savings time reverse.
Atrium lighting, signage, banners need to be improved. Inside exhibitors need to
confine themselves to INSIDE the Gallery. Set-up, Promotions, possible media
promo info published during the same month, December - Art Basel piggy-back.
Look toward FREE Sub-Sentinel Calendar of Events & Bulletin Board 2
weeks in advance FREE. Place more flyers in surrounding & Miami Hotels. Art
Basel exhibitions are main: Miami Beach; others in Wynwood, and other
locations. Also, Monthly Art events on Broward Calendar of Arts for DAD. We
currently put Art in the Hall on this Calendar.
Rickelle: Wants to spotlight Atrium Gallery as a “Jewel”. Not the same as the
DAD exhibits.
Kisha: Flyer for Art in the Hall original she helped design. A remark made that
why is CRA doing it? Katia does not do this promo. CRA can help us.
Luis can help us make a new Flyer for Art in the Hall and include DAD info as
well. To finalize at Art in the Hall Sub Committee meeting.

Commission Chamber and show it. Cannot do since it is being submitted to
