in-person meeting is not practical or prudent.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 Review and discuss the CY21 SECA Grant Fund applications

 The Commission discussed all applications and had the following specific
 questions for staff to ask the organizations:

 Century Walk
 Printed Word - Since the mural has already been removed two times, how sure
 is the organization that the third time will be a permanent move?

 New Statue - What would be the subject of the statute - can a
 rendering/mock-up be provided? More specific details on what the statute will
 look like. Will all the military's branches be represented? Why another WWII
 statue?

 Simply Vedic and The Alive Center
 Is it possible for the two groups work together to produce one event?

 Chicago Telangana Association
 Has a location been secured for CY21? In the past, it was recommended to try
 and secure a location in south Naperville. Is this possible?

 It appears from the application this event operates at a loss. If this correct, why
 continue with the project? If this is not correct, please provide additional
 information to correct this concern.

 Samskriti Foundation
 Where are the events/programs located?

 Turning Pointe
 Is the event considered a fundraiser?

 I Support Community
