 Review and discuss the current SECA Grant Fund categories

 The Commissioners discussed the possibility of dividing the applications into
 the following categories:

 50% Special Events with City services
 50% Cultural Amenities with the following sub-categories:
 - Capital projects/permanent installations
 - Visual arts/temporary installations
 - Performing arts (music, dance, theater)
 - New initiatives
 - Targeted locations/specific annual call for projects topic

 The task force members also discussed the following conditions and process
 specifics:
 In the event there are no applications for a category, those funds will be made
 available to other categories at the recommendation of the Commission.

 If the Commissioners do not recommend any grants for a particular category

 after the first Commission meeting, those unallocated funds will be made
 available to other categories.

 New Initiatives would include events and amenities not currently offered in
 Naperville, such as a "Buskers" event, an improv or other comedy event, an
 opportunity to explore electronic art (display or gaming).

 Target locations may include a call for events south of 75th Street, near
 Freedom Commons, or a special call for projects that support a specific theme,
 like "peace", "community" or "diversity."

 All of the applications would be evaluated within the same structure the
 Commission currently evaluates applications and the event would need to follow
 the same eligibility and reporting requirements as current grant recipients.

 The task force members will present these suggestions to the full Commission
 at an upcoming meeting.

F. ADJOURNMENT:

 The taskforce meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
