V. Direct Reimbursement discussion <br /> - Some explanation about Direct reimbursement: <br /> Right now grantees finish their project then send the paperwork and ask for <br /> payments, but an alternative would be to pay them upfront which is an <br /> advantage for the grantees. From the paperwork's perspective, it is the same. <br /> If the artists don't finish the project then we need to ask for the money back, <br /> which is tricky. <br /> For information, there are about 330 councils in the state and about 59 use <br /> direct reimbursement. This point will be discussed at the next meeting. Please <br /> have a look at the info on this link to be ready to vote during our next meeting. <br /> VI. Discovery Day plans <br /> - The date is October 9th. <br /> - We would like to have a table and show the doors.A small musical <br /> performance would help attract the crowd. Please let Jillian or Steve <br /> know if you can help staff the table. <br /> Vli. Doors project and auction update <br /> - The chosen platform for the auction is Bidding Owl <br /> - The town will work with the council to help with the revenue part of the <br /> platform. The issue with Bidding Owl is the need for an account and it <br /> cannot be a personal account. <br /> - The bidding will open on October 1 st. Viewing will take place on <br /> Discovery Day and the auction will end 2-3weeks after. <br /> - For the promotion of the doors we will use our mailing list, we will also <br /> use Munroe and Gallery Twist ( 4 of their artists have painted doors). We <br /> will ask the economic development committee to publish the information <br /> on their newsletter. We are also planning on having an article published in <br /> the Colonial Times (Ashley)- Jessie is reviewing the publishing dates and <br /> the lead time to receive the article. <br /> - We are also expecting that the artists themselves will promote the doors <br /> through their patrons and friends. <br /> - Jessie has offered to publish the information on the Chinese Community <br /> Newsletter. <br /> - Shalini will cover the project on Twitter and add videos of artists on <br /> Youtube. <br /> VII. Discussion of fall project ideas <br /> - Our Fall project is the painting of utility boxes :There are huge utility <br /> boxes located on the track/pool area and in the center. These boxes are <br /> not temporary and Suzie will get information about the ownership process <br /> and conditions to beautify these boxes. Steve suggests painting 5 boxes. <br /> and choose the town center because of the visibility of the boxes. The <br /> financial cost of having a box painted is about 500 dollars, but we could <br /> have sponsors and complete more. We could also benefit from the Fund <br />
