Committee approves Franklin College banners and $1,600 in small-event sponsorships; two abstentions recorded
Summary
The committee approved Franklin College’s request to reinstall homecoming banners and approved $1,600 in event sponsorships for Department of Art programming (three $500 items and a $100 artist sponsorship); Chrissy Robertson and Danny Cosy abstained on the sponsorship motion.
The committee took two formal approvals: Franklin College’s banner application and a sponsorship package for Department of Art events.
Franklin College requested permission to reinstall the same homecoming banners beginning around Oct. 2 and remove them after Oct. 14; Dana presented the application and a board member moved to approve. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote in the meeting.
On separate business, Chrissy described the newly formed nonprofit Department of Art and two initial events: the John Strickland Jazz Brunch (a ticketed fundraising brunch connected to Ethos) and a community art day planned for Sept. 19 in Franklin. Dana proposed sponsorships mirroring prior practice: $500 for the John Strickland brunch, $500 for the Do Art community day, $500 for Canvas Clash, plus $100 to sponsor a Canvas Clash artist, for a $1,600 total. Dana moved the package; the motion was seconded. The transcript records two abstentions (Chrissy Robertson and Danny Cosy) and otherwise shows the motion carried; the meeting did not record a full roll‑call tally in the transcript.
The committee requested an invoice from Chrissy to process the sponsorship payments and discussed assigning staff to implement the payments and event logistics.
Next steps: the administration will process sponsorship invoices per normal procedures; Chrissy and staff will provide invoices and follow up on promotional details for the funded events.
