Unexcused Absent:
1. Welcome and Introductions
Chair Mary Budd called the meeting to order, and welcomed online audiences tuning in
via Facebook Live.
2. Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes
Approval of June .
3. Grant Application Revisions
Commission has received approval from Business & Economic Development (BED)
committee to revise grant applications for individuals and organizations. Major changes
include 2 deadlines per year instead of 4, removing fund restriction for individuals,
adjusting match amount to be 1:1 for both individuals and organizations. Zeth and
Stephanie will work on press release.
4. AEP5 update
AEP5 personalized report for Bangor just about ready to go waiting on a last-minute
quote or two. Mary and/or Zeth will bring report to BED committee, then to Council.
Mary and Zeth will work on press release to send out immediately after presentation to
BED committee, which will hopefully drum up some media interest to spread the word.
5. ARTober
The independent event consultant that had responded to our RFP is no longer able to
commit to running ARTober due to personal reasons. Where this is a $1,000 project, it
technically doesnt need an RFP so we can look for a replacement team in a less official
capacity. Kim will reach out to Osborne Media, Zeth will reach out to Launchpad, and
remaining commissioners will think of other options.
