Lieberman. <br />Here are some first comments from Porchfest from those present at the meeting: <br />-Having 80 bands perform at the first Porchfest was amazing. <br />-Overall it was very well planned and executed. <br />-Baskin street was a little tight with cars parked on both sides and people <br />walking on the street.The police chief arranged for DPW to supply traffic <br />cones to block one side of the street.That neighborhood felt like a party. <br />-Lisa and Eric did a fantastic job matching the bands and the houses. <br />-We received a noise complaint (toddler wanted to nap). <br />-We also received 2 notes from neighbors worried about having people <br />park on their street and blocking emergency vehicles. <br />-Making the decision to cancel because of a chance of rain was difficult: <br />Often,when Porchfest is pushed to the following day,it is hard to <br />maintain the number of bands,but making the decision is difficult. <br />❖Grants :Deadline for grants is on October 16/17th <br />-We will send a reminder to artists regarding the application deadline <br />through Ashley's newsletter. <br />-We have a committee of 4:Steve.Ashley,Lisa,Marie.There’s room for <br />one more without hitting quorum (6). <br />-Here is a summary of the grant application process: <br />-We don’t have access to the applications until the deadline is <br />reached and then MCC will share with us all the applications in a <br />huge PDF file.At that point,we will meet for our next committee <br />and decide how much we want to make available for Grants.In <br />late November we will make a recommendation about who we <br />fund and who we don’t fund.It will be voted on in December by <br />the whole committee and we will send a letter to the grantees we <br />do not fund and wait for the appeals to come.By early January <br />we will finalize our grant awards. <br />❖Survey <br />➢We have been using Survey Monkey:We need to decide how we <br />can communicate this (add it to the newsletter of the town)/send <br />tomorrow (mail it in October) <br />❖Council roles <br />➢Claudia would take care of constant Contact and Newsletter <br />➢Ashley is writing the Newsletter <br />➢Elsie :volunteered to learn to do the website.
