Discussion and Review of Budget
Ms. Reiss reviewed the budget with the committee. Ms. Reiss stated that for this year any
overages on the expenditures would be covered from the room tax. Mr. Radke questioned if this
was only happening for this year. Ms. Reiss explained the intent is for one year to properly
market Music in the Glen at the new location.
Discussion and Review of Fundraising / Marketing
Ms. Reiss presented the committee with the sponsorship letter and a list of potential sponsors.
Ms. Reiss suggested that 5-10 days after the letter is sent the committee members should follow
up with a phone call. Ms. Shaw and Ms. Carey Johnson suggested some changes to the list. The
concern was brought if the list of contacts was up to date. Ms. Shaw and Ms. Carey Johnson
pointed out various contacts that were not listed. Mr. Radke suggested sending out an e-mail
blast to see how many respond. Staff will be updating the list and sending out the sponsorship
letters.
Ms. Reiss presented different options for a magnet design to be distributed at local events. The
magnet will have the schedule and concert information. Mr. Radke stated he liked the design
with the green border because it matched the logo. Ms. Pierner suggested putting a map on the
magnet of where the park is located. Ms. Shaw stated having a map on the magnet would cause it
to be too cluttered. Ms. Radke suggested putting the address of the park on the magnet. Mr.
Radke suggested adding the website address. The committee came to consensus to use the
magnet with the green border.
Mr. Radke brought up the concern of the Music in the Glen hotline being up to date. Ms. Reiss
stated that staff would look into having it updated.
Discussion of Richard E. Maslowski Community Park
Mr. Radke stated that he has been in contact with Nate Brooks with the Nicolet Recreation
Department in planning the set up for Music in the Glen. Mr. Brooks and his team plan on being
at all of the Music in the Glen programs. Ms. Reiss stated that a walk-through of the park will
happen as soon as the park is done. Mr. Radke stated that Mr. Brooks and his team will be
trained on all of the stage equipment. Mr. Radke will also be assisting Mr. Brooks as part of his
team. Mr. Brooks will also be at the park before and after each performance. Ms. Radke
questioned what the hours the park will be opened. Ms. Reiss stated the park will be open from
dawn to dusk.
Ms. Shaw asked if Mr. Radke could create a checklist for everything that needs to be taken care
of before, during and after the performances. Mr. Radke stated that after the first year at the park
a checklist could be created. Mr. Radke would first like to determine the duties between the
Nicolet Recreation Department and Music in the Glen.

Mr. Radke questioned the cost of all the performances and expressed concern if they would be
able to gather all of the funds. Mr. Goldberg stated he wanted to grow and be able to reach a
variety of people. Ms. Reiss mentioned that with the sponsorship letters being sent out to the lists
of Chamber of Commerce and Welcome to Glendale would help get to sponsors they may not
have had before. Mr. Radke stated he wants Music in the Glen to create sponsorship levels that
are worth it.
Mr. Radke questioned Mr. Goldberg if he had contracts with all of the musical acts. He pointed
out to Mr. Goldberg to look at what all of the musical acts are asking for. Mr. Radke suggested
making a spec sheet and map for all of the members and the musical acts. Mr. Radke suggested
telling all of the musical acts to bring all of their own equipment.
Discussion and Review of Music in the Glen Logo
Multiple updated options of the logo were put together by Mueller Communications and
presented to the committee. Mueller Communications also created a draft sponsorship letter and
flyer using one of the logos. Mr. Radke stated the logo that was used on the sponsorship letter
and flyer looked attractive. Mr. Radke also commented on the font of logos presented he stated
that most of the fonts were too blocky. Motion was made by Mr. Radke, seconded by Mr.
Goldberg to adopt the logo in the right hand column second one down as the new Music in the
Glen logo. Ayes: Mr. Goldberg, Mr. Radke and Ms. Shaw. Noes: None. Absent: Ms. Radke, Ms.
Pierner and Ms. Johnson. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion and Review of Fundraising / Marketing
A sponsorship letter and flyer were done by Mueller Communications and presented to the
committee. Ms. Reiss stated that the sponsorship letters would be sent to lists of people from
Chamber of Commerce and Welcome to Glendale.
Ms. Shaw questioned if the booklet would be the same size as previous years. Ms. Reiss stated
that the booklet would be the same size. Ms. Shaw suggested specifying the size of
advertisement for the booklet on each one of the sponsorship levels.
Mr. Radke suggested giving the sponsor 5 minutes to advertise prior to the show under platinum
level instead of giving them 10-15 minutes. Mr. Goldberg agreed with Mr. Radke.
Mr. Goldberg suggested including a schedule of Music in the Glen shows with the sponsorship
letter. Ms. Reiss stated that with the sponsorship letter there would be a copy of the sponsorship
form and a schedule.
Mr. Radke questioned if a table would be provided by Music in the Glen for the sponsors listed
under the sponsorship levels. The committee came to the consensus that a table would not be
provided and the wording under the sponsorship levels should be changed to “An area for
business materials”
Mr. Radke questioned if the sponsorship levels would get to have an area for business materials
at all the shows. The committee agreed for the bronze level they would get to have business
materials at 1 show; the silver level would get to have business materials at 3 shows; and the
gold and platinum levels would get to display business material and all of the shows. Mr. Radke
questioned if there would be a problem with space. Ms. Reiss said for this year there would not
be a problem. Mr. Radke suggested having a size limit described in the sponsorship form.
Ms. Shaw suggested including a map of the Richard E. Maslowski Park with the sponsorship
letters.
Mr. Goldberg raised concern about the prices for the sponsorship levels. He stated that it was
going to be hard to get that much money. Mr. Radke questioned if Mueller Communications
would be doing any fundraising. Ms. Reiss stated that they would be sending the sponsorship
letters out, but the rest of the fundraising would be up to the committee. Ms. Shaw stated she
would like to compare the prices of the sponsorship levels with the prices of the Fourth of July
Event held in Glendale. The committee came to a consensus that the sponsorship prices were
competitive with the Fourth of July prices and the prices should not change. Mr. Radke
suggested for the Friends of Music in the Glen level and price should be set at $250.
Mr. Radke questioned how much money was in the budget. Mr. Goldberg stated that there was
around $3,000 left over from the previous year. Ms. Reiss stated a budget would be presented at
the next meeting.
Mr. Radke suggested adding the website to the sponsorship letter. Mr. Radke also suggested
adding Dan Neesley, founder of Music in the Glen, to the sponsorship letter.
Approval of Glendale Mobile App Agreement for Music in the Glen
Ms. Reiss explained to the committee that the City of Glendale is working with Civorium to
create a mobile app. Civorium is asking for an agreement to access the Music in the Glen
website. This agreement would allow Music in the Glen to be a part of the City’s mobile app.
Motion was made by Ms. Shaw, seconded by Mr. Goldberg to approve the agreement with
Civorium. Ayes: Mr. Goldberg, Mr. Radke and Ms. Shaw. Noes: None. Absent: Ms. Radke, Ms.

Agenda
Richard E. Maslowski Community Park Johnson Controls Community
Amphitheater
1. A sound system will be provided for this space.
2. Two main loudspeakers will be flown flanking under the stage canopy. They will cover the
main listening area.
3. Two portable subwoofers will be provided. They will wheel into position and plug into
weather proof boxes on the two support columns for the roof over the stage.
4. The main equipment rack will reside in the A/V room (116). The equipment house gear for
both the stage and the community room sound systems.
5. A 32 channel digital mixing console will be provided. The mixer will have the capability to be
plugged into a DANTE network at either stage left or at a "house mix position" in the
listening area.
6. Two 16-in 8-out stage boxes will be provided to feed into the DANTE network. Jacks will be
provided in the two weather proof boxes on the two support columns for the roof over the
stage.
7. Four powered stage monitor speaker will be included. These can be plugged directly into
the 16-in 8-out stage boxes.
8. A variable-architecture DSP will be included. Six analog mic jacks will be provided at the two
support columns that will feed directly into the DSP for use in a "quickmix" mode. This will
enable "hands free" operation of the system for small events.
9. A connection shall be provided from the fire alarm interface to the DSP. The DSP shall be
programmed to mute all audio in the event of a fire alarm.
10. Two wireless microphone systems will be included with remote antenna. Wireless
microphones will feed directly into the DSP for use in "quickmix" mode, but should be
accessible in the sound console via the Dante out of the DSP for use in other shows.
11. An FM-type assistive listening system will be included with required receivers and neck
loops for up to 500 people.
Basically the system will function in three different ways:
For the most basic setups, you can use your wireless mics and can plug up to (6) additional mics into the
system. Setting up the mixing console will not be necessary in this mode as the system will auto mix the
inputs (we refer to this as "quickmix" mode)
For larger setups, you will be able to plug the console and the stage boxes into the Dante network.
These devices can be plugged into the stage left panel, the stage right panel and the house mix position.
(The mixer could be set up either at the house mix position or at stage right or stage left). Each stage
box has 16 inputs and 8 returns. All of your mics and monitors would then be plugged into these stage
boxes, but because it is a digital network, you would still have access to the quick mix channels and the
wireless channels as well at the mixing console.
Finally, we provided two line level inputs at the Stage Left Panel. Any acts that have their own system,
but still want to use the built in loudspeakers can plug their system in here and drive the system with
their line level outputs.
(I suppose a fourth option would be to just bring in a complete standalone system.)
