Havelock arts committee members press for clarity on budget, branding and member attendance
Summary
Members raised questions about HCAAC's budget, lack of a logo and shirts for events, and attendance policy; Chair Lorraine Butler asked staff to pursue reassignment of two inactive members and to reassign an absent member to the student seat, with follow-up to be discussed at the April meeting.
At the March 5 meeting of the Havelock Community Arts & Appearance Committee, members pressed for clearer information about the committee's budget, branding materials, and member attendance rules.
Albert Goodson asked whether the committee has a budget and requested detail on how funds are allocated for different events. Recreation Director Kelvin Hardesty was asked to clarify budgeting procedures for HCAAC events. Glenda Strunk raised concern that the committee lacked a logo and shirts and worried those items would not be ready in time for the April 18 Plant Swap; Karen Lewis suggested adopting the Parks and Recreation logo with "HCAAC" initials under it because HCAAC operates under Parks and Recreation.
Lorraine Butler reviewed earlier attendance and excusal practices discussed in January and said she supported reassigning Haven Hepburn to the student seat. Butler asked Kelvin to contact Mary to request that two NCNS members (Phuong Nguyen and Markell Carter) be removed and that Haven be reassigned, leaving three at-large openings; Kelvin told Butler to contact Mary directly. The minutes do not identify Mary's office or role.
The meeting included standard procedural approvals (the February 22 minutes were approved and the revised agenda passed) and ended after a motion to adjourn passed. Members said they expected to finalize event assignments and budget clarifications at the April meeting.
