They approved of the new meeting schedule of going from three meetings to two meetings. They were also satisfied with the changes staff made to a few of the application questions, which helped them base their allocation recommendations more off the application, as opposed to hearing from the grant applicant. They commented that the process was much more transparent and fairer for all the applicants as opposed to only those who could attend the workshop/meetings. The Commissioners requested if possible to combine the Budget Worksheet with the application for CY21, since there were a few issues downloading the Budget Worksheet when reviewing the application attachments. The Commission also suggested using the same theme ("Come Together") used in CY20, in CY21, but they would like to have further discussion on how to roll the theme out for next year. F. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Initiate discussions regarding the development of a public art strategic plan The SECA Commission discussed the next steps in developing a Public Art working group which included: how many members would be needed, is there a need to hire an outside consultant to review the current public art program and help the City develop a strategic plan for the future of the program and how this program could be funded. Commissioner Robb Greene has been asked to oversee this working group and gave the Commission an overview on how the program can look in the future, based on her research and experience. G.
