NEW BUSINESS: 1. Review and discuss the CY20 SECA Grant Fund applications The Commission reviewed the CY20 SECA Grant Fund applications and asked questions. Portner advised the following questions will be sent to the applicants: NCTV17 - Production Truck Upgrade Can the production truck upgrade be done piece by piece? Would partial funding help, or is this request all or nothing? Simply Vedic - Festival of Colors According to the budget worksheet, $4,000 of the request, is to cover the cost of the colors necessary for the event. The budget worksheet also shows $12,000 in income from the sale of the colors. Can this be further explained? It seems like a large sum of money, especially since the colors are being sold to the attendees. Chicago Sinfonietta - Community Concerts Please provide examples of where the musicians performed in 2019, and on average, how long the performances last? Summer Place Theatre - 2020 Season How will the upcoming merger with the Park District, mentioned in your application, impact your SECA funding not only for CY20 but moving forward? Firefighter Highland Guard Do members pay any fees to perform with the group? Do members incur any costs for the uniforms or the instruments? Please provide additional information.
