Nevada Arts Council director to meet Mesquite community Nov. 6 as part of America250 outreach
Summary
Commissioners reported arranging a Nov. 6 morning session with Tony Manfredi, director of the Nevada Arts Council, to gather local input on the America250 grant; commissioners noted attendance limits under Nevada law and asked for one more volunteer to attend.
Commission Chair Karen Miscimmons and commissioner Steve told the commission that they had contacted Tony Manfredi, director of the Nevada Arts Council, about the America250 project. Manfredi agreed to visit the area and meet with Mesquite leaders on Nov. 6 at 8:00 a.m. at the Mesquite Fine Arts Center to collect community input for grant planning.
Steve described the outreach approach: "They put a call out for artists...and Rochelle and I applied for the grant," he said, and added Manfredi "said, let's come, let's talk to the city and the community and see."
Commissioners discussed logistical limits on attendance for an outreach meeting; Chair Miscimmons cited state law restricting the number of commissioners who may take part in such meetings and asked for an additional volunteer so the commission could send three members as permitted. Commissioners agreed to plan the Nov. 6 morning meeting with invited community leaders and to formalize the details as Manfredi's visit approaches.
