Magna CRA approves $2,875 to sponsor Lens of Magna exhibit and award winners
Summary
The Magna Community Reinvestment Agency approved $2,875 from its budget to compensate winners of the Lens of Magna program; the board agreed prizes would be paid after winners are identified, the works displayed at Magdalen Library, and the pieces would become CRA property.
The Magna Community Reinvestment Agency voted to approve $2,875 from its CRA budget to compensate winners of the Lens of Magna photography/arts program. A trustee explained the funding request and asked the board to let the program move forward this year with a re-evaluation next year.
During the discussion, a board member stated, “The request is just to confirm $2,875 from the CRA budget,” and said the money would not be released until winners are identified. The presenter said the contest would likely begin in December with awards planned for April or May and that the works would be displayed at the Magdalen Library and would become property of the CRA. The board discussed promoting the program via the CRA newsletter and Facebook page.
Board action: an unidentified board member moved to approve funds to sponsor the Lens of Magna for one year; the motion was seconded and passed following an affirmative vote recorded as "Aye." The motion authorizes staff to notify program organizers to proceed and to withhold disbursement until designated winners are confirmed.
Additional context: during the meeting a trustee also noted that several entities may soon request financial verifications connected to tax collection processes and said staff would work with a person named Daniel to provide requested documentation before the board’s next meeting on Dec. 9.
The board closed the meeting to a closed session after approving the funding and other business.
