Tonight - Village Bd Work
Session on new Draft Resolution to Create Humanities & Arts Advisory
Council
At this point, most of you
know that the Village intends to use at least some of the Gouveia Property to
house the recreation department. Because that decision seems counter to the
original intent of the gift and the accompanying funding, CCoA and others in
the arts community pushed for our voices to be heard.The Village has responded
with the accompanying
DRAFT resolution to be discussed at the Monday, May 13 board work session
in which proposes the formation of a Humanities and Arts Advisory Council. We
were not asked as to how we thought such an organization should be constituted
nor what its role might specifically be, but those issues are likely to be a
substantial part of the board’s discussion. I would encourage as many CCoA
members and others interested in a strong voice for the arts, attend this
meeting. I am looking forward to seeing you there.
Valerie Leis President, CCoA

massive costly renovations are still necessary either way. the lot is a disaster and an accident waiting to happen. no one goes there for a very good reason. hey maybe we can turn the municipal building into affordable housing or better yet how about making the gouveia building affordable housing.
