Summary

Jill from the Center for the Arts summarized exhibitions and youth-theater dates, reported 39 patrons in July classes and a near-sellout screening; she noted the operations overage largely resulted from an unbudgeted $60,500 sound system and two unexpected apartment repairs.

Jill, speaking for the Center for the Arts, reviewed current and upcoming programming: the community art show, a new exhibit "Sacred Spaces" opening Aug. 12 with a meet-the-artist event on Aug. 15, and a youth-theater summer play with performances Aug. 7 and Aug. 8. She reported attendance and asked board members to visit the gallery.

On the budget, Jill said quarterly financials show an operations overage that she attributed primarily to an unexpected $60,500 sound system purchase; she also noted two apartment repairs (refrigerators and a hot-water heater) added to the overage but that the board-approved quarterly reports account for the items and staff will continue quarterly monitoring.
