Arts commission approves $600 to hire KidCreate Studios for two Art Cart sessions
Summary
The North St. Paul Arts Commission voted to spend $300 per event (total $600) to hire KidCreate Studios to provide teaching artists and materials for two Art Cart sessions at Music in the Park; commissioners also discussed volunteer staffing and budget impacts.
The North St. Paul Arts Commission voted to spend $300 per event — $600 total — to hire KidCreate Studios to staff two Art Cart sessions at this summer’s Music in the Park series.
Commissioner Carrie told the commission the subcommittee reviewed a proposal from KidCreate Studios and recommended the hire so staff could forward the contract to City Council for review. "We would like to recommend that this body hires that group for the 2 music in the park nights, so that that can go to council for review and approval," Carrie said.
Chair moved to approve the $300-per-event agreement and a second was recorded. The chair called for the voice vote; commissioners responded "aye" and the motion carried.
Jordan, the staff liaison, said the KidCreate materials and PowerPoint would be added to the packet so City Council has documentation ahead of its review. Commissioners also discussed volunteer coverage for the two Music in the Park nights and agreed to assign volunteers once dates and roster needs are finalized.
The approved payment covers the vendor fee for two events; the commission will forward the purchase/contract for City Council review as part of the city’s procurement and approval process. No specific contract number, formal purchase order, or vote tally by individual members was recorded in the transcript.
The commission’s next steps are for staff to attach the KidCreate documentation to the packet and for the item to go to City Council for formal approval; commissioners said they would confirm which members volunteer to attend the events.
The meeting adjourned about 7:15 p.m.
