Mrs. Morris said that about the residency program, she has forwarded some reports that have interesting language and the rolls that an artist can play in city agencies and she hopes it's useful when launching the program in 2022. She also said that wants to talk to Vanessa Koster to see if they can work with the Department of City Development initially. Tina Klose asked to Mrs. Morris if she sees doing this pilot program with one artist per department or if they can be spread over different ones. Mrs. Morris said that given the amount of money it has to be one artist per department. Mrs. Morris said that she can commit to put together a comparison of 3-4 programs in order to start the proper framework and that Emilia and herself will start to circulate documents for the members to read and provide a feedback or discuss them during the monthly meetings.

Sally Svetic will arrange the meeting with DCD and clarified that with Imagine MKE applications, the DCD was not hosting any artists but facilitating connections with business improvement and neighborhood improvement districts to potentially host artists. Mrs. Morris said that she would like to see the residency program be launched on June 2022. Tina Klose suggested to follow up on the story teller position for the public information office (run by the city clerk's office). 4. Conservation Fund Nothing was discussed about this item. 5. New Business No new business were discussed. 6. Old Business -Art Collection: Mrs. Morris said that she does not know how much of the conservation work has been done and wonders if people can get at that stuff since most of them are still working from home. Also said that there are some high priority items on the list and that they can try to give it a look to those first. Meeting adjourned at 3:34 pm Yadira Melendez-H Staff Assistant.
