Chair
Furst opened public comment.
1) Beth Wilson, 1503 Bluebell Court, Livermore, stated
that she thinks LARPD staff needs the assistance of a marketing/fund raising
coordinator, and that it seems like a good idea. She inquired where the $84,000
fee for the contractor will come from. She stated she is concerned about the
lack of funding for other LARPD programs and that a tremendous amount of money
has been spent on the Robert Livermore Community Center, to the detriment of
some of the other programs and staffing at LARPD. She would like to see a
balance in funding. She would like to caution the Board to think about some of
other areas that desperately need funding, also.
Chair
Furst closed public comment.
Director
Kamena inquired where the funding is coming from. Staff responded that that
$80,000 of the funding was budgeted in Unit 24; the additional $4,000 will be
pulled from funds formerly allocated to part-time staffing.

4.2 LIVERMORE
CULTURAL ARTS CENTER SOMMERFEST 2006
The
Livermore Cultural Arts Council (LCAC)
has requested LARPD’s participation at the June 24, 2006 Sommerfest. The
last Sommerfest was held in 1991, and LCAC wishes to revive this community
event. General Manager Barry summarized a letter received by Chuck Hartwig, President
of LCAC, asking that the Directors consider waiving the $250 rental fee for the
Barn for the event.
Director
Faltings inquired about the specific kind of participation LCAC was asking of
LARPD. Mr. Hartwig addressed the Board, explaining that LARPD, as a member of
LCAC, would fulfill LCAC’s request for participation by waiving the $250 Barn
rental fee. Any ideas from LARPD
regarding the planning of this event would be welcome as well. LCAC is the
sponsor of the event and will pay for insurance, etc. LCAC considers this event
a gift to the community and plans to give any extra proceeds to the Livermore
schools for cultural activities. Chair Furst inquired if the Barn will be ADA-compliant
by the date of the event. General Manager Barry responded that, yes, it would
be by March 2006. The Board is unable
to take action on LCAC’s request for the fee waiver for the Barn, as the item
is not on this agenda. However, all Directors agreed that LARPD, as a member,
would like to participate in the Sommerfest. LCAC may direct its request to the
General Manager, who may make the decision whether or not to waive the $250
rental fee for the Barn.
Chair
Furst opened public comment.
1) Carol
Purkis, Livermore, stated she feels Sommerfest is a wonderful event. She feels
the event can be used to promote LARPD.
Chair Furst closed public comment.
On a
motion by Director Faltings, seconded by Director Kamena, approved LARPD’s
participation, as an LCAC member, in the June 24, 2006 Sommerfest event,
passing 5-0.
