Directors Report

• An idea emerged during the meeting that part of the facade of the new Media Center could be a “rotating canvas” for local graffiti artists.
• From the Directors Report: “An order was filed at the November 1st City Council Meeting calling us in to the Finance Committee to discuss the Council’s Board appointment and address some financial questions that the Council has.”
• As a result, a motion was made to share by-laws with the City Council Finance Committee.
