I. CALL TO ORDER -The special called meeting of the Arts and Cultural Commission was called to order at 4:04 p.m. by Brad Kisner. II. ROLL CALL-The recording secretary called roll and announced quorum. III. PUBLIC COMMENT— None IV. NEW BUSINESS Arts Grant Appeals Commissioners considered two Arts Grant appeals. Regarding the Ballet Folkorico Viva Mexico appeal discussion centered on two main points: Sharon Sedwick's scoring and review for all Arts Grant applications was consistently low and did not single out any one organization; and none of the commissioners changed their initial scores based on any discussion or review of Sharon's scores. Sarah moved that the ACC not accept Ballet Folkorico Viva Mexico's appeal due to insufficient evidence to prove a conflict of interest. Shelly seconded. Motion unanimously passed. Regarding the appeal from KEDT: Commissioners reviewed the email and attachment sent to KEDT to confirm that they did receive the correct application packet. It was also noted that the correct application packet was posted on the City's website and all the questions for the narrative portion of the application were listed in the Arts Grant Guidelines. Shelly moved that the ACC not accept the appeal from KEDT. Cathy seconded. Motion unanimously passed. Discussion continued, focusing on the Arts Grant applications that did not receiving funding; the City Council's desire that the funds be distributed to local arts organizations and the integrity of the application process. Cathy moved that the four organizations that submitted an application by the original deadline date, but whose applications were incomplete, be allowed to submit the information missing from their original application to be considered for partial funding. The deadline to reapply is 5:00 pm on Friday, December 2, 2017. The Commissioners will review and score the applications by the regular ACC meeting on Dec 13th. Sarah seconded. Motion unanimously passed. By general consensus the Commissioners decided to make a decision regarding the amount of partial funding applicants will qualify for at the December ACC meeting. V.
