10 o'clock in the morning. I'm calling this meeting to order. It's the local cultural council for the town of Kingston. Please realize that this will be recorded and available on the local scene network here in the town. For purposes of introduction, my name is
Paula Fay. I am actually serving first as one of the coordinators for today's meeting just so that we all have an idea of the process that we're going to go through and then I will serve as a member of the committee for the for this session >> because you were an existing member.
>> Yeah, I I actually >> to take attendance >> and so now for the purposes of organizational standpoint, we're a five member committee. I'm just going to do a roll call. So if you'll just identify yourselves so that we know who's in the room. >> Susan Sherman from American Diane Fay
and Chris Milano. >> And as indicated I'm Paula Fay. So the first process since this is our first meeting of this fiscal year is to basically do a reorganization. And from the standpoint of what the local
cultural councils require is they require somebody to handle the coordination of the overall process here. And really the roles exist of a chair function that processes things back and forth
>> through the um cultural council's portal. they um handle once we do the reimbursement process later on in the season, they handle the signoffs on those papers. So I am going to suggest that because of the size of the
committee and the locations of some of us that we look at appointing two co-chairs. So I will take nominations for co-chairs. >> I nominate Sue Sherman as a co-chair. >> I nominate Chris Morano. Awesome. There
you go. >> Um I don't know here in case >> we have to say I >> Well, I I'm going to ask first. Is there anyone else that wants to be considered? >> Would you like to be considered? >> No, thank you. >> All right. So, see seeing nobody who's
else um we will ask for a vote for in the affirmative for the two co-chairs. I >> I Diane Fay I >> Paul Fay I >> Chris Morano I >> Susan Charman Im Milk and I >> and we have to we have to identify
ourselves just so we understand procedural because we are on Zoom. >> Yeah, >> it's not it it needs you have to identify yourself because there could be somebody >> in place >> but doesn't know who people are. So, so now to talk a little bit about the the
whole process and so that the community if anyone's watching understands, Mass Cultural Council provides a local town with funding on an annual basis. The town of Kingston for this fiscal year was provided with $8,900.
The process is that they open up grant applications and they were open up on September 1st of this year and with all applicants having to submit their things by October 16th I believe was the date. >> So they they submitted their
applications. They then come here to the town of PL of Kingston and we basically have a list of people who have applied specifically to Kingston looking for this local cultural council to make a a review and a decision relative to it.
Kingston had 22 people who submitted grants through the process. So, we're today looking at 22 applications um and looking at whether or not they
they fit the need whether or not they fit the need of of the community and and from there moving forward. So, that's one thing we have to look at. We also have to talk about the fact that every local cultural community council has the opportunity as the
council to say we want to h take a certain amount of that money that we're allocated as a town and hold it aside for a project that may be bigger than anything here. Something else that the town may be doing, something that the
individual community may do. examples, there is a community within driving distance of Kingston that every year will take their percentage and it's 20 up to 20%. They'll take their 20%, put it aside because they run a festival
every year and the cultural council pulls the people in for that festival and they use the money to fund that. >> Thought we always had to keep 200 so much out. You know, we had to hold so much back every year. >> Well, Actually,
the process is that the money that they give you, you have to allocate to everything. So, some communities may allocate a certain dollar amount to handle administrative costs. >> All right. Like paperwork that they may have and things like that, >> but we always hold a certain percent.
>> I I haven't I actually did. Yeah. I haven't seen that done. But this would be holding something apart that you say we're going to do something >> as the local cultural council. we're going to invest in this for the community. So I I understand Kingston this year it's your 300th.
>> It's our 300th. >> So can hold a certain amount of money back just for that. >> All right. And then it will be pulled out of the funds. >> Right. >> I would suggest >> the 300th is going to be in May.
Correct. They have a >> whole year. The whole year there are events going on all year long. >> Right. So I would have expected grants to be >> even for that for all of the different things which we only have one.
>> Yeah, you only have one. So the C. So now here you sit on the committee and you're saying to yourself, I would have expected more. So that's probably one of the reasons why we may want to pull back the money and coordinate that extra funding to support it to make the 300th
bigger than it is because you only have one right now and we can't go out and say to somebody else write a new one. >> Right. No, I understand. >> All right. So >> where I I think it's important to keep the council focused on Kingston things we're doing.
Uh, I think that's very important and the 300 couldn't be any more >> for that. Yeah, I think we just need to as a committee realize that we have that money that we can put aside as we're expending. >> And now I I'm going to build upon what you just said. You're you feel that
because it's the Kingston Local Cultural Council. There's a reason why the Kingston's the first >> name or first entity within it and lots of communities will look at it from that standpoint that it it's Kingston based
items first and then beyond that what would benefit the resident but I I do feel that it's incumbent on somebody wants a grant to apply. >> Oh yeah, we we can't at this point. So, I'm not Yeah,
>> we we can't at this point, >> you know, say, "Oh, wait a second. I know this artist down the street who who would have done a great job >> doing this in her business and could have brought people in. We can't write that grant for her." We can look at
>> there's a big thing happening in Kingston this year, >> the 300, and >> we could take a portion of that money. >> Sure. And I see I see Karina's point that they should have been >> um aware and that's part of my concern
with the the cultural council is how do we get word out to people to tell them that there is this and I think that's a very big >> marketing issue. Yeah. >> Yeah. That that >> just to back up a little there's a marketing issue involved.
>> Sure. Uh, and the committee had a problem getting going in the first place, but that should have been out being publicized. Other towns like will have somebody from the committee show up at um Blackman >> Blackman's meeting or town.
>> Absolutely. And I think we should be doing that. Yes. >> And and the um asked to speak and say this process is starting. If you are a crafts person, an artist or anything locally, information is available. I mean, we used to send faxes to all the
local newspapers. >> Yeah, that type of press. >> Can we have a newspaper? >> Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. >> Get it out to the public so they know. And you give them the timelines and you have somebody that will say, "Yeah, if you have a question about where to find
the application or anything, email this address. We send you information." Right? >> That's one thing. the doing a festival allotment. Um like there is one um applicant applicant
now to do something >> art and not but not off of the ex >> the actual 300 separately. So, we have to deal with their grant. But over and above that, there's a committee, we have
um a letter that I think has to be rewritten to make it clear it's not a duplicate of this one. >> Um that somebody from that 300 committee will work with somebody from here in writing get making sure that stuff gets
submitted. If we want to do that and set aside money that it's not going to go to this grant, it would be a separate allocation. They have to request it. We have a letter, but it's >> kind of the deadline for application is October. So, we can't accept anymore.
>> They can't go to meeting and say, >> no, but I do want to report to the selectman and I think that that I'll be glad to do that. I think that the more we are in part of the selectman reporting and what we do >> that will bring people in. Now I assume
Kingston has a >> open forum. >> Well, you also have a uh >> town page and the cultural council should have a >> section on that town page and I don't know if they use if >> Kingston uses their Facebook page or they have a town Facebook
>> or when I was the secretary. I mean things now are totally different. I've been on for ages. I used to have to submit the minutes and submit it on on the town website. Now, since everything has change and that hasn't been I
haven't >> Yeah. Yeah. That that building in that whole communications list and as Diane indicated, a lot of that should have been happening in the summer and stuff, but you in transition, right? So, all right. So we So at least we have this
concept that we we can take 20 up to 20% of the 8,900 put it to the side. I'm going to suggest see if we all have a breakdown of the 22 applicants and we have
>> their documentation that we first look at and say well let's just talk about conceptually where we are as individuals. Does that say Kingston? Do we feel that we should be looking and saying first things we worry about funding is if it's taking place in
Kingston or if it has a specific impact on Kingston? >> I personally believe it should. >> I mean, initially I think that's a great idea and we usually look at at um the different age groups, you know, one for
COA if there's some if they've >> um asked for something. Yeah. and you know high school or school whatever. So that's how we used to sort of really address things initially to make sure
that they got some funding we had it available. >> And then my my next question is so so maybe maybe we'll go through this first and say it's in Kingston or it's truly impacting specific residents of Kingston like schools because of the situation.
>> Sure. The other thing is lots of times you'll have applicants who just massmail right these applications and they've probably never seen Kingston in their lifetime. >> All right, but they'll do it in your library. They'll do it at your town hall. They'll do it in your yard if you
so desire. >> So, are we going to look to make sure that those entities that say Kingston have support someplace? I think every if it doesn't have a venue. So if they haven't gone to the library and and >> that's the question >> and have gotten a well I can do it at
the library well that's great that doesn't mean you allowed to >> well at the same time if they don't get [clears throat] get um a venue they're not going to get their funding at the end of the year anyway. So, but usually if you don't have a venue, it's a no
flat out. We send it back saying, you know, we think you're think might have some merit for sure, but you know, there's the Adams, there's a library, there's high school, there's a, you know, >> I have a question.
>> Actually, this year it's in the RA they when they apply it's in the application. >> Yeah. where where location have a loc a letter of support for a location >> not not on the actual grant I don't believe >> I think it was that
>> that because Kingston Kingston like some of the other communities because it was in transition didn't put up guidelines so Kingston could have put up gu so it's blank >> it's not there from last year >> no it has to go every year it has to be
>> say that >> and you're not the only community And there are communities that have very have had >> councils that are continuing on that don't do that. >> So on this uh maybe where I'm getting ahead of myself, but if they don't have a venue and it is of interest to us,
>> do we ask them to get a venue? No. Actually, what you want to I would suggest what you do. No, because there's some here that >> as you go through >> his whole letter. >> Well, true. >> He did. >> He did a good letter, right? I know. But in in some cases here, you have a person
who says they're going to do it in Kingston and they say identify an employee of Kingston who will put it in a place >> but there's nothing from the the guy said or even himself or the place because it's not I'll put it here but
not in my house. So we can just cut it. >> We well what we can do in those cases is we can go back to them and say >> in the case of Steven Miller at the at the library, >> have you had contact with this person? Yes. And I and do you find it
beneficial? Yes. And have you coordinated with the COA that you're going to have it in their grand room? Is that all acceptable? And then if we get that, we then say we'll allocate money for that program. We have money. >> Well,
>> again, Paula, I'm back to my guidelines and deadlines. >> And how long a process? When does this all have to be in? And >> say, I wouldn't do I wouldn't do it. >> You wouldn't do you wouldn't go back to the >> Well, I'd say next year.
>> No, that's what I would >> No. Well, let's let's let's talk about this because all this is is you picking up the phone, the two chairs, one of the two chairs picking up the phone and >> Well, before we come here for a meeting. >> That's right. >> Oh, our next meeting. >> Yeah, before the next meeting. Before the next meeting.
>> Well, I thought we have to give the nose now. So, they have 14 days to get back. >> No, you don't. The nose don't have to go out until the end of the month at the earliest. >> Oh, really? Okay. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Because we've always had I thought the was a November deadline. >> Oh, no. Well, we're way past that.
[laughter] >> We're way back on that. Um, okay. So, >> so we agree that first thing we're going to look for is say, is it Kingston? >> Well, let's let's start. >> Yeah. So, let's start just run down and just look at not not evaluate what
they're doing, just those two criterias. So, >> Hannah Close with with the Silver Lake. Do we consider that Kingston the kids there? So, so we would consider awarding her. >> Yes. the two full of craft those they're not
>> no >> Kingston base nor is there a function in Kingston right >> so that's two and three >> I just put them at Macy's like I go through and say but but now what we have for funding >> so now you go through and you got
Kingston Art >> you've got Kingston Public Library and that's the adult craft time that looks like it's being done every year and it's your library director that runs that program. Yes, >> he wrote the grant >> and that's at the um
>> font school. >> Yeah, >> I wasn't so sure about that. >> Isn't that interesting? >> Oh, yeah. They do not have a >> No, they do not. >> No, they do not. >> So that's why they use >> So that's why they they are finding another public building that is used for
a lot of organization. >> Being a person of certain age though, I knew nothing of it. Well, now I hope. >> No, it's that's okay. >> So, now the next one. Um, it's they're saying they're going to do it at the Kingston Public Library, but they don't
have an indication of support. Well, they don't have an indication of support. So, it's it passes. It's in Kingston, but no letter of support, >> right? No. >> So, we'll not necessarily fund that right away because it doesn't hit the two criteria. >> I could say I'm going to do it in
Kingston. He also, it's an online sort of thing. Well, I have that down too. No, >> also if you read his, it could be controversial. He's looking to create a dialogue as to should this be democratic and should it be something else?
>> I think the issue is I'm going to exact. >> So for me it wasn't enough >> and I think when we come back we have those discussions but we're really looking focusing on which ones would we consider funding that. The next one was a coffee house. >> The
coffee house, which >> I didn't get the full I must be missing a page. >> Number seven. >> Yeah, I have number seven, but I only have >> So that was one of the ones that they said >> that had no venue.
>> They said Stephen Miller will have us perform at the senior center. Yeah. So that's another one that >> doesn't have >> doesn't have support right now, but we can go back for support. >> Who is Steve Miller? >> He's the reference librarian.
>> The Kingston Public Library. >> I was going to say it's not the director. >> No, no, no. The reference li. >> And it also says it's going to take place at Silver Lake High. So there's nothing here from from Silver Lake. >> Le number seven. >> Number seven at the senior center.
>> It's at the senior center. Yeah, I think you're on eight, Karina. >> I just think I Oh, I see. Because I have >> Yes, there two pages. >> Well, here. But this says 23 823 and on the back of it, it says 29. >> I know. I I got into that a little.
>> Yeah. All right. >> All right. So, so Steven Park right now, we're not outright getting money. Right. >> The next one is at Silver Lake. So, like the one of the first one, they're getting money, >> right? >> All right. Kim Moleberg. She says she's
gonna do at the Kingston Public Library, which is nice. So, she at least is doing it in Kingston, but she has no letter of support. >> So, that to me is a no. >> So, at this point, they are nos. >> Right >> now, we have the one that's the dance group, right? They're doing it in
Kingston. >> At Windgate at the Y, >> they're doing it at Windgate. Now, you have to >> We didn't talk about this one. >> There's no date. >> There's no date on it. That's true. But the other thing you have to think about is is this open to the public?
>> Can I walk into Windgate and attend this? >> If you if you live somewhere else in case >> Well, Winding Gate is >> she does say here that there's a firm commitment signed community partnership agreement sent under separate cover from
Winggate residents. Christine Costa. Did we get anything? I believe there was this is I I I know this woman in this group from other things. You do get a letter, but my understanding is Windgate >> a facility that's open to the public.
>> No, it's Windgate. It's private. >> It's a private company, isn't it? So, so that's something that you >> we want to come back and look at and have a discussion. >> Letter here. >> No, either this person. >> No letter either. >> Send it as a separate mailing. It was amongst the paperwork that you had
earlier. Oh yeah. Oh. Oh, >> she doesn't understand that you can add it on to the application. >> All right. So, now >> North River, >> it's in Nashville. So, fails for location, >> right? >> Then Pinewood's camp fails for location. >> Right.
>> Plymouth Hall fails for location. Practice base practice. That's online and it fails for location. >> Elizabeth Sylvia with the uh Black Junkies Band Love. She says it's at the library, but she has no letter of
support. So she we won't say >> movement so fast Paul. >> You're okay. >> Number 15. >> I'm okay. We're on 16. >> I think you're right. So I I could No. >> All right. Yeah. So now Soul Homestead is in Middleboro. So it fails for location for what we're doing for the
first round through. >> Yeah. >> Southshore Arts. That's in Cohasset. And then it went somewhere else, too. I'm just I was wondering if a student they nominate students too. >> So if there were any students that were nominated for Chevrolet and we had no
letter of what do you call it? >> Yeah. And and and those are we're going to have to go back and look at we're going to find out that >> once we go through this >> y >> um >> Southshore the two of them they're not in >> YMCA. >> Right. >> All right. But they're not in Kingston.
>> Right. Uh the broad not in Kingston Weiss. He doesn't have a letter of support. >> He said middle school and no letter. Yeah, >> he said middle school. >> Yeah.
>> All right. And Matt York is in Kingston. He had a letter of support. But I'm going to open this up to the fact that it is if you read the letter of support as written right now >> on 22.
>> This is the Willie Nelson. >> This is the Willie Nelson. It is truly a function that could be opened up to everyone. >> It is the churches can be opened up to everyone. >> I I go with it. >> My only concern right now is the letter of support as written. Mhm.
>> I think that we just need to the co-chairs need to go and say to the the pastor, is this something that's beyond your parishioners? Because it's written that it's for the benefit of his parishioners. The phrasing, >> right?
>> So, he has to be willing to advertise it for >> and how does he advertise it? Yeah. >> Yeah. So, and and you just get that commitment and then when you fund it, >> you put that in a stipulation back in the return letter, >> right? >> So, it's not that he's rejected
immediately and it's not that we reject him and it's not that we reject him and tell him back. So, right now, if we go back through this, I want to tell you >> I I need to ask you a little bit more on that because uh Reverend Emily Bruce
wrote a support letter. >> It's for the church. It is open. The church is always open to everybody. So, how do I ask her to be more clear on that? >> Well, because >> he needs to advertise that it opens to
the community. It's not just the the phrasing on it is that it falls within the works and the missions of our church >> congregation >> congregation. So she's gota >> she got to just add to that and be something that would be of interest to
the entire town. You know, >> it's it's it's just a oneliner. >> And that when she advertises it, she advertises it at a time that would be open, >> you know, >> but it can still be within the church service. >> Yeah. >> Okay.
>> Well, not within the service itself, like a a Monday night fun. It's it's a concert that the guys coming in and doing. >> Okay. So, not a service. >> Not Yeah. No, not just like in Middleboro. Um the historical museum
>> they they had a program recently we went to um >> they had a dinner there that you had to buy a ticket for the dinner. >> Yeah. >> They had their annual meeting there and they had a presentation there.
>> They didn't have a grant for their presentation. They paid for that on a money there. I mean, it was >> Mhm. >> tied to those other things. >> So, and and there I know of churches that have gotten funding from a cultural council >> and they run their concert or whatever
it is that they're running on like a Friday night or a Saturday night. It's not a case of >> church service, right? >> Yeah. So, it just a during a church service. It has to be Okay, I'll speak. basically when they
>> they can I can hand out a flyer on it that says >> this church Yeah. >> will welcome everybody to come to a concert that is being funded by the culture. >> So that's five. >> All right. So all right
four I'm not funding her that yet. >> Okay. I'm counting that. So we're not counting. >> Not until we get lettered. >> So we have four entities right now that we said we would fund. Right. >> So, if we look at our available money,
>> we have $8,900. >> We've got $4,400 that if we were to fund them completely, >> right? >> You're ending up with $4,500 remaining. It has to go somewhere because I'll tell you right now, if
you're a dollar short, >> Yeah. >> with the mass cultural >> Yeah. >> they will tell you you can't do anything. You're going to spend everything. So now let's let's go >> a dollar over >> let's go back.
>> Let's go back now and talk about that local cultural council project that we talked about at the beginning. >> Do we want to take money allocated to use for the 300 at the biggest level? >> Are we comfortable with that?
>> I personally am. >> Me too. The only thing I'm not comfortable with is that if they they know they know that we're here >> and they know that we get money every year and yet they didn't put grants.
It's only one >> one of but the 300 organization did apply for a grant for 1300 but it was just for the visual arts program right so they didn't apply for additional funds for the other activities going on for example I chair the house tour
committee >> I didn't apply for money for the house tour >> but certainly if it was available >> and I guess I guess the house tour you charge do you >> yes >> and so what would this monies be for >> exactly what it would be used for
printing. >> Print a booklet for the houses. >> Okay. Cuz I'm just saying there's >> we need to have a police detail. >> You're charging people, >> right? >> But that should all come out of that funding, >> right? But but but if you So let's >> you know what I'm saying?
$35 to go to the thing, which I think is lovely and right and all that stuff, but out of that money, >> that's how you fund all those things. Right. >> Right. But it's not going to But anyway. >> All right. So let's look at that though. So they do charge and you have you have the ability you can fund things that are
charged. That's one thing. >> Let's talk about the 300s. Is the house tour >> a beneficial thing for the 300? >> It's a historic house with it's the history of Kingston through the houses and buildings in
>> so it has a value. >> Now here's the local cultural council saying here's something that we know has a value. Yep. We could take money and we could allocate money to things that will have a value relative to the 300, >> right?
>> So, we could allocate out a certain portion of the money >> to the house tour funding and the house tour committee could then take that and say, "Well, we're going to take that money and specifically cover the cost of the police." >> Right. We need Yeah. >> And therefore, they could potentially
say, "We've budgeted this and we built that into our tickets. So if we were charging $50 for a house tour, maybe we can take it down to $40. >> No, I I understand all those. >> So just right, we're charging. So we have income coming in
>> and but and and you're all volunteers and I understand that as well. I just like >> if if you why didn't you put in a grant? >> Would you have known? Did you know anything about it? No. >> No. Yeah. >> See, I mean, I think that that there in
lies the issue of the marketing and um we need to get it out. I mean, >> but we can tell you that it is something that and it hasn't been in existence forever. >> They've been they've been advertising it
statewide. >> We're seeing lots of after the fact. They they took money that was allocated and did this. >> Yeah. It's been around long enough though because people know >> I will tell you the I'm going to name the community, the Lakeville Cultural
Council >> also uses the name the Lakeville Arts Festival >> and they take a portion every year of their money and they put it into the arts festival and they've done it for years and then they also >> take it and they go out to other
communities and ask for money for the lift. I don't have to really >> Well, I could see doing that, but I wouldn't I'd have to recuse myself. The council can't put in a grant for >> Well, they they they don't put it in as
a grant. Well, they put it in the arts festival puts it into other communities. So, >> they're going to like the the surroundings, right? So, conceptually, that's doable. Yes. >> So, so now here's the question. I'm going to back to the question. Do we as
a committee want to take a portion. They allowed a portion of the money. >> What was the allowed portion? >> 20% of the 8,900. So, it's $1,780 and say, what are the other 300 items
that are out there that we could we could support and therefore cut the cost for the residents of Kingston to come to, right? >> All right. or add something else that they haven't thought because they would be expensive litany of activity. >> So, do we as a committee do we as a
committee want to take >> I think we need to take a vote on that. I I personally think it's a great idea. That's the discussion >> and I don't think it's a bad idea at all. How has the 300th been advertised? >> We toing the record.
>> You have you seen the gayla? It's advertising it. I don't know where would I see it. I'm not >> Facebook. It's advertised on Facebook. There are a couple of sites. >> I'm not a Facebook guy. >> Okay. Yeah, that's what happens. >> Many people aren't and and hence the
problem of the local newspaper was always the best way though. And it's a shame that we have >> Yeah. >> demolished them. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> I mean, I'm just because I was real surprised. >> Yeah, >> I know. I know that. So, sorry. So are
we comfortable and we can take the vote now or we can save it into one big vote when we work through all of these. Are we comfortable right now saying because we may change this 17 80 are we comfortable saying that that is something we'd wantly holding that
>> and I'm not speaking that it should just go to the house parade. There's fireworks. There's old home day. There are all year long there going to be activities and a small amount of money, 1700. Yeah, >> whatever. Wood would cover. I mean,
there are many places that can go. I just mentioned house tour because that's my >> No, I think that's >> I'm just the only >> Well, the house tour is the only one that is being paid for though. >> Is too $75 ticket. Ours is 35 and we
need a police detail. I mean there are lots of expenses that I don't think the fee but I also think we need to look at the perspective of how many people are serviced >> and these are townwide events service elderly services families services so to
me it's a worthy >> but I think also it's other towns will >> come so so that would have enabled you to do grants for other towns like we were just Right. So, it's a missed
opportunity. Yeah, >> absolutely. Absolutely. >> It's it's a lesson learned. >> Sure. >> For the unfortunately, >> it is a lesson learned. >> Yeah. >> Well, all right. So, are we all in agreement that take that
>> going to be something that we will do? We will >> make a motion that we put that on the list of to be looked at. >> Why don't you? So, you want to you I can make the motion, but I prefer to let somebody from Kingston make those.
>> I make the motion that 20% of the allocated funds, $8,900, be aotted to the Kingston 300th uh activities, events. Uh is that appropriate? >> All right. So, basically that we we up
to 17,000 700 17. >> All right. of the 80. >> So conceptually right now what we have done as a group is that we have identified four entities that we said we would fund >> because of their location. We've
identified that we would look at taking up to 20% of the seven $1,780 and putting that towards the support of the 300 the 300th anniversary here in Kingston. So that's where we are at the moment. I think we said it wrong, but
that's where we are. You're gonna take 20%. >> I made the motion. Someone needs to second. >> Second. >> Oh, you want a second? Very good. >> And I want to say that, too. Every time a grant is people get money for a grant, you have to advertise that and put that
in your advertise that goes out to them as a requirement. >> Okay. >> All right. So, so now your motion was that up to 80 up to 20% of our allocated.
>> That's better than your friend. Keep [laughter] >> um All right. So, we have a motion on the floor seconded and it's for uh taking 20% of the 8900 which is 1780 and setting aside
>> for use in Kingston >> for the 300 committ >> for the 300th committee >> and it's up to 20%. >> Just to refine that, it's up to 20%. >> Okay. And all those in favor? Well, when you need a roll call because it's on Zoom.
>> So, yeah, we have because we're on Zoom, we each have to do >> Okay. Okay. So, >> Diane, yes. Paula, yes. >> Chris Morano, I. >> Susan Sherman, yes. And Karina, yes. >> All right. So, so now if we're looking at that conceptually at this point, we
have available >> $229 $2,720. All right. So, but you wouldn't include the Willie Nelson, which is >> So, now let's go back and let's start looking at those ones that we feel we want to go back
>> and revisit for the purposes of saying does this entity support them? >> All right. >> So, we have number six. >> It wasn't Kingston. It was at the
library. >> There was an indic there was no indication of support. >> Now that I believe is one that we maybe have >> your your point Diane was that was political.
>> I just don't know. It could be because it's >> it's creating a discussion over whe the democracy as opposed to how things are now. >> Yeah. I don't know. For me, there's no date, no letter of of I didn't know.
>> All right. So, we right now >> the reason why I said it could be is because I don't know Kingston, but I know if it was in our town, there are some people that are very outspoken not. >> All right. So, right now, we're not willing to go chase that. Is that right? >> Correct. Correct. >> And we have some rationale for it.
>> But we do have um >> See, I don't feel we should be chasing anything >> on number nine. >> All right. Things to do. >> All right. But before number nine, we have number seven. >> Right. >> Number seven is in they say >> Stephen Miller from the library
>> has said something has is in favor of this but they don't have a letter of support >> and there's no venue. So I said no. >> Well >> they do they do have the senior >> they don't have a date. They don't have a >> you don't necessarily have to have a
date. Well, it says February 26. >> It does say February >> Lewis and Ferry presentation. >> Yeah, it will take place on the 26. >> You It's It's on the other side. >> Why did I get my finger out?
>> Are you all right? Oh, that's you. >> Yeah. >> So, it is um the 26 maybe. And it's supposed to be at the great room at the senior center. >> Sam, this is totally different. >> This may help you because I don't think you have this document.
>> I have like two >> went through and looked up all the information. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> So, I I'd be glad calling or you could call. >> Is he somebody that you feel you should
reach out to and and ask him the question? >> Okay. because that's something that we can then come back and if he says yes, we can come back and say that's something we would consider funding and that would be something that would be pulling off of what we have as potentially available funds.
>> Okay. >> Emily Bruce one. We haven't gotten to that. >> Okay. Wait a second. [laughter] >> Do you want to do the Steven one? >> Yeah. >> Steven Miller. I'm telling you, Steven Miller just had surgery yesterday. It'll be December 2nd, excuse me, on Tuesday.
>> Excuses, excuses. Well, but it's serious surgery. I mean, it's pancreatitis. He's >> Oh my gosh. It's serious. He's in Boston and so he's not going to be back at the library to contact him till probably January. >> So, so then why don't we have why don't he's got a boss that is a director of
the loan. >> So talk to her and see if she's aware if she's aware of it that he if he's aware of it that should be sufficient. So now let's go to the next person who >> wait a minute and if he says I didn't know but if he is submitting this
for this saying that he's discussed and he can get that room you can send him what it's about or explain to him and say what are your thoughts and he may say oh that'd be great and if he does that keep them in for consideration. All
right. So, the next one >> is Kim Moberg, who had no letter of support, but said she'd do it at the library. >> Okay. >> Do we want to go and see if she's actually even spoken to the library about it? Often >> people will say they're going to do it
at the library, and the library doesn't even know about. >> Yeah. To me, it's a no. >> I'm If I call about the Steven Lewis Park, Andrew Lewis Park, I can ask about Tim Mo as well. I do know that when CS Stewart was there and I don't know how
long this other gentleman has been there to be honest. >> Um I'd say >> four years. >> Four years. >> Oh, more than that. I've been here five years and he's always been there for Yeah. because I went in I went in and spoke to them >> with regard to you know we funded some
some programs that they have >> okay >> requested >> and they might >> I mean we might have disbanded because we didn't have any people and I wanted to see if he >> knew of anyone who could be on the committee and help us out. >> Oh, okay.
>> So he's aware of >> the letter. Yeah. So >> I know I know Donald I have no problem asking him about Kim Mover because >> All right. So now we go down to number 10 which is in Kingston. >> Yeah. >> Have we determined that there's no way
it can be open? So we say no to this because of location. >> Right. >> And it's >> all right. So now we jump down to number 15 that this is the the catnip junkies band. Mhm.
>> They say Kingston. I say if you're going to talk to him, >> ask him too. >> Ask that one. >> Gotcha. >> And the other thing is that's $1800. >> It's a lot of money. >> And and and we have to not even
>> So now I'm going to say something. I don't know how you all like it. >> Go ahead. >> We're volunteers. people know that we get money every year from the Mass Cultural Council >> and it's incumbent on them take some responsibility to put in a grant and put
it in properly have a venue all scoped out because we've always said we need a venue and and the library, you know, they've always been aware of it. So, I I I think it's great that you're going to be doing all the calling, but I just think
>> we have to use the money though, don't we? >> We have to use the money. And the other thing you need to consider is in previous years, >> you are organized enough that your guidelines said >> yes, >> must have submitted letter of support. >> Okay. Yeah. >> And your guidelines right now say we
don't have anything. >> See, I didn't know. >> Just fly them out. >> Paula, what was the bottom line of what we spent on the first round? 4,000. Was it >> 4,400? Then we put 1780 to the local cultural council. >> All right.
>> And then we just did 595, 600, and 1,800. >> Yeah. So, >> and now the last one will be Well, I'll I won't jump any further because we're on 15. >> So, now we're going to >> And actually, this cost is all for
bringing salaries of seven musicians. Mhm. >> So the live. >> Yes. >> That's on 15 >> 1. Yeah. 1,750 is their salaries and the >> they have letter. We know that. That's why we're going to ask the librarian if they even heard of them because that
will give you the option. >> And we can cut that too. >> Right. But if we cut it, we tie money up and then if the library says, "Well, >> we're not going to add funding to it or anything." Yeah. So we have to That's why >> Let's read that one. Let's read that.
>> The venue is wicked small. >> They're coming all the way. I I just It's not even the locals. >> Like it's miles away. I don't think >> unless this person is >> this this person is
>> it's to bring unity and joy to the masses via music and dance. Kind of like that. >> There's no I mean it's it's small. The library is small. >> Summer of 26 too is the projected time. summertime. >> It's not like it's a program library.
>> I think you're going to go and you're going to ask the director of the library and they're going to say, "I've never heard of them and no, I don't want them." >> Yeah. >> And even if they say, "Yes, I've heard of them and I love them." When we sit again, we can we we know which ones
we're evaluating. We get it narrowed further, right? >> They may not get anything to begin with, but at least we've done the due diligence. >> All right. So, you have three, Chris. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I got free fall. Well, I'm just going to the library. I'm not even calling because sure now we're
going on 17. >> We're going note 17 is >> did they didn't identify any letter of support or anything. There are no >> the next one you have >> is >> the theft of dignity number 21.
>> All right. This is the gentleman who said it will take place in the middle school. First off, is there more than one middle school? Kingston. Well, that's a good thing. >> There's no letter. So, I said no. >> Letter of no support. Actually, he doesn't have the letter of support. He wrote his own and it was one of the best
written letters to say I'm really um >> the subject matter because it doesn't bully >> now does and it also says it's a mandatory every student go.
>> That's one for the school. You can't dictate to these schools. Do they want somebody to give somebody money to mandatory? >> Exactly. >> I say no. >> So, do we just say right there that >> it's not even worth our consideration if >> the only the only reason I said no is
because there's no letter from >> from the school saying that >> do you want we're doing this? >> Do you want to speak to the school >> and and I >> and well when he didn't name the school that's what bothered me >> in the middle school. But I do I >> I do like the subject matter because
>> I think it's important. Yes. But >> there's no venue and so when you say no and you know please reach out to the blah blah blah. >> My thing was I thought it would be a good topic too. >> I agree. >> But then I looked at it and I said okay
now I don't know anything about Kingston and how things go. I do know in Middleboro that there are a lot of parents show up at school committee meetings to the point where now they're trying to prevent them from speaking >> at the meetings because issues like
there's bullying going on and you're only addressing it on certain types of students not on hall there's this going on >> and it's like do we want we want to play into that so >> and on 22 22 we're I'm going to call Re.
Yeah. >> So, >> so you add them up. How with those five? One, >> four, two, five. If you consider 50 pounds in Matt York, >> do you want me to add the >> from Emily? Yeah. Put it up on four. >> All right. Good enough.
>> Oh, she has it already. >> So, let's look at Wait a minute. Which ones? You're saying five and I only have four. >> Only four. >> Seven, 9, 15, and 22. >> No, let's go back to this. So, you're not going to have enough money. >> Oh, no, no, no. These are the these are the ones that we're going to call on.
>> All right. So, okay. Let's go back and do this now. We're going to reach out >> to the library for number six, which is Oh, no. We seven, >> not six. We eliminated seven to six. Sorry. >> Seven. >> Seven.
>> For seven. >> Nine. >> Nine. >> Nine. >> And 15. >> And 15. So, we're going to reach 22. At 22, we're going to have a discussion church. >> All right. All right. >> So, >> what does that add up to? >> Okay. Let's go back and do this because
I want to make sure I have these >> 600. So, it's mold. So, so it's number seven. >> Number 205. >> Number 595. It's open to the public. Number >> 9600. >> 600.
>> That's 11.95. >> 15,800. >> Yeah. So, right now, >> and then Matt is 400. So if we sp spend that out, we have now over spent by $675 what was allocated to us.
>> All right. >> So now we have to go back. >> So now I hate to say this or I'm going to I'll going to say >> to me, sorry, they have no letters their nose. And then I think there are other ones even though they're in
different towns that people in Kingston just like the 300s we're having here >> can take part of like the North River Arts Society or not maybe in the Philarmonic and things that even though they're not in Kingston. So I
don't feel that I want to chase or we should have to chase someone who doesn't have a venue secured even though it's >> and I also feel that that we've done we've done prior you know trying to get
something for each like age group or I don't know how you want to say each demographic. So whether it was the COA or it was one of the school programs or the elementary school program, the middle school program and senior I I but but I so I do feel
those should be all nos really because they don't have anything super secured and then I feel there are other ones here like the Philarmonic or the North River art where >> people in Kingston do take part and do enjoy those things even though It's not
right in the town. >> So, and >> I mean the junkies going to the library. I mean the library. >> Well, those cat junkies, but it's the venue is so small. I mean, it's not Have they been ever to the library?
>> So, I just feel it's nice that you want to go and call them. The church the same thing. It's it it seems like it's it's more for for the um you know the church the parishioners of that church. So that's
just my my feeling. >> Well it I see your point and I I think it's valid but we don't have enough if we exclude all of these people. We haven't spent enough money. Correct. >> Correct. We we're over if we if we do
those we're over. >> Right. Right. I have a question. If we take the um >> junkies out, >> we junkies. >> Yeah, that's a lot. >> The catnip junkies for seven the salary for seven musicians.
>> Can I just go over the numbers again, Paula, because I'm getting a different figure here. We have allocated on the first run 4,400. Then we take 7 91522 which adds up to 23.95
>> what where >> you went seven >> well we took we started with 8,900 take the 4,400 >> oh I haven't I haven't subtracted anything I'm just trying to get figures here >> so we have 7 9 15 and 22
>> 79 >> which I believe adds up to 23.95 am I correct 18. Well, give me a minute to do this in my head. 18. >> I think it adds up to 27
95 plus 600. So, I we we understand that we got 4,400 from our first round. We got 17 1,780
if we give it all. And then you have 595 + 400 + 1,800. >> Oh, I have 600 on nine >> plus 600. >> 600. Yeah. So, it's not boring. 600. >> I have 600, too.
>> 1,800 and 400. >> I'm just trying to get numbers here. >> And 400. You're right. Those are the four those are the four numbers. >> Yep. But >> wait a second, let me >> So it's 3395.
>> Yeah, it's 3395. >> 3395, >> which totals with the 4400. >> No, >> 7795. >> What's the 44? Wait, >> that's the first round we agreed to 4,400. >> So plus >> that's committed 4,400.
>> And so out of that, >> right? 7795 >> and then we have the 1,780 that >> it's on the side. >> Okay. >> So 1 1,00 what was it? >> 1,780
is for the town >> is the 20%. >> So now you're at 9575, right? >> They're only allocated eight. >> So that's why we're over by >> way over 75. But >> we got to realize first off that what are we over by?
$675. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> But some of the I I don't know about you guys, but the ones that I'm going to call that want to do it at the library, I'm not even sure that those are the best choices. I would rather see some of the filmonic or something. The filmonic
is not giving them any tickets. >> Well, I just threw that out. Maybe >> No, I understand too. I'm I struggle with that. >> We should remember this is our first pass through. That's the first thing we got to remember. And we made the decision that location and support were
important. And then we said as we've gone through now we're looking, we went to the locations and found them. And now we're saying >> support. And there were some that implied support. So >> if location and support were important to us, let's go back and see if they
really have. And then we looked at >> if they don't have it, we take them out. If they don't have it, they're gone. Nobody's saying that these people have four. The first four are going to get what that dollar amount is yet. So, I mean, we've got it. It's the narrowing
down process. >> All right. And then >> and then we say >> we put the others out because at that point, we were looking at location and support. So, we've got some that we want to go back and confirm whether or not >> they have support because it's implied
that they had it, right? I mean, some of them it's obvious to us that they didn't have support. Come on. Don't write your own. You know, then we look at the ones like this uh cat junkies. They don't have a letter
>> and it's all going to the salary of the musicians >> and we look at them and say say to the library if they don't get all their money because we could give them something towards it. >> Sure. >> And then take the difference and give it to something like the Phil. You don't have to put the library though that
venue doesn't accommodate >> that many people. But I don't think that exactly. >> Well, that's but I think it's worth if we're asking on the others. I think it's worth asking because we're not going to be done today because we also have the issue of we're not sure if there's extra
money sitting at the right >> that we have to >> throw back into this pot. >> Right. Now the other thing on 22 if you look at the application >> it does say the cost to per participant
is the low low price of but I'm sure she meant or free >> it have to be free for us to to >> consider >> consider wouldn't it? >> No have to be if I go if I give money
>> it is a consideration. Well, we're considering you're going to you you're looking for monies >> and you're selling tickets. >> I said I said house. >> So that's okay. >> Yeah. Any one of >> Oh, it's okay. >> Yeah, it's okay to charge. >> Yeah,
>> but you sometimes have to take that into consideration, too. You know, >> had one. It doesn't help. >> I think the >> That's what I took. Thank you. You know, the interesting ones are when they ask for money, right? >> And they may ask for $2,000 and then they say they're charging this amount of
money and they're having this many people and you multiply it out and they're making $9,000. Why are they >> Well, so I say this is good. I mean, Chris is going to go to the library. I'm going to go to uh um Emily Bruce. We're going to find out what we need to find
out. We've got good numbers and then we come back for a second path >> path. and and and in in the interim we we chase mass cultural. So they say to us this is the number you're working at >> and I would love to appoint you as the
person to chase >> chase mask culture culture >> I will and it's lovely it will be Cheyenne it will be Lisa and it will be >> what's his face >> Michael before he goes out the door and the new Michael who's the big counter I
mean >> past cultural council is uh Michael Abbott who we personally have met and Oh. So, >> um, and >> he actually wasn't at a function that he was a lead speaker. >> Oh, wow.
>> And he wasn't because his luggage disappeared >> as he was interviewing for >> and he couldn't fly back. He was his everything was in it. >> Yeah. >> Not they found it >> and but he couldn't make the notes if
you want to keep those. >> Glad he was >> I just want to write on this too. Washington. He had applied for my job with the National >> and I asked my >> person with another.
>> Are you taking the notes, Diane? >> I I'm sure I can write >> between us. >> All right. So, when do we want to meet again? >> Diane meeting back focus. >> Everybody >> we're focusing here. She knows everybody.
>> Um, so, so we've come to the conclusion that we've got people going to do some research. We've got assignments of respons. >> And one more time, Paulie, you need to give me uh guidelines on deadlines. So, we have to have >> Well, by the end of this month,
>> by the end of this month, we >> have to have decided, >> you need to send the nose. >> We have to send the nose, >> right? And then they have >> I've sent nose. I've seen nos sent out in the middle of January. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. I'm taking a breath.
>> So, yeah. We are so far I think we've made significant progress here today. >> I think we all are on the same page. >> We know where we're at. We've gone through our priorities. We've said goodbye to some people. We've got assignments to go look at some people. We're going to come back and know where
we are from that standpoint. We're going to know if I can get the answer for mass cultural. We're going to know what the dollar amount is. saying they're not going to change it, you know, although there may be things going on downstairs that they're going to try to rectify their numbers.
>> This is the number we're working at. Don't change it before we're done. >> We go through. We can reassign these people. If if you know somebody's watching right now and say, "Well, they g they identified us, us, and us." Please don't think that you're going to get the dollar amount that you asked
for. >> There you go. So, may I ask just to go over real quick numbers? Which were the definitive nos, please? >> The definitive nose. >> Yes. >> You want the numbers? >> Yeah. >> Six, >> 10.
And then what was 21? >> Yeah. >> Then 21. Okay. >> Well, wait a minute. You're saying six? >> Yep. Is a definitive no. >> Well, why isn't two? >> Well, wait a minute. >> Well, those are locations. We're going to we're going to go back and look at
them and say, >> right, >> they that we may give them something, >> right? >> These had definitive nos based upon location, support, and appropriateness. But I thought two was >> well that's that's
>> see but you think too is that there might it doesn't mean that children in Kingston or parents might not think that's a great program and they might utilize that because they work in the Brockton area and that's like a day you know that's like a what do you call it for children
>> well so it's not a definitive no >> synonym like the filmonic >> yes that's what okay so give me the definite nos definite nose is six >> 10 >> 10 >> and 21
>> I mean there and the ones that you're you're asking about are like may >> they make I didn't mark one like >> I put may on the >> question marks yep >> and we'll find out from the library
>> because for instance the school thing that's in middle and 91. No, 10 and 21. >> But how about >> I know I think there's more here too. >> 11 and 12 that are out of town.
>> Well, there are but there are like the Phil >> I like them too. I like the Hunter River Arts Society. >> One second. I don't know the library director. >> There are people in King's take. >> I know he's here. I want to catch him.
>> It's like the SU education thing. Every year there are people, loads of people. >> North Arts. What? What do you mean is people? I go to North River Arts, but they don't charge, >> right? >> So why are we supporting? >> They don't charge. That's why they don't
charge because they do it by grants. They're all a lot of volunteers just like we are. They have to set up things. There's loads of things that are going on. The same thing they need police. What do you call it? >> It's the same as >> you get involved in this, you learn more things about it. And >> right,
>> there is another issue that some people will apply for grants and you say, well, you know, we could knock you out and stuff >> because you charge. Mhm. >> But then there's some others that apply and say, "I will discount
>> if a person has uh >> Oh, I see. >> A low income classification, whether they >> they've been identified by the state as established programs." >> Yeah. >> And >> and they've committed to that. They commit to like if they charge uh five
bucks admission, they commit to charge 250 or something, right? >> For anyone who has >> certain classific classification and they're listed and they list it when they apply that they're card to culture. >> Yeah. So if they have one of these cards
that say they're low income that they can do >> card culture and get a discount >> that gives them a leg up on when you're looking at things you have to say and they don't charge full everybody. We have people who >> I mean we we've had um we've given
grants to to um they used to do a show at the be because that was the you know venue they rented that >> and that was a charge >> that was a charged event that was not actors and >> all that stuff and we don't have any and that's an enriching thing for a lot of
people and and they go and we would give us >> I appreciate you giving me that >> you know >> he doesn't know We didn't. >> Oh, he's here. >> Yeah, he's here. That's why I saw him walk by and I grabbed it. He's as hard to get as I am. He wanted to talk to me about something else, too. So, anyway,
he read them over. He has no idea who they are. So, does he say no to all of them? >> Well, he didn't say no. But I'm just saying to you, he said he wasn't familiar with any of them. >> Yeah. But for me, if he's not familiar with any of them, there's no letter. They hadn't contacted anyone. For me,
they're not maybe they're nos. >> Are we giving a definite no? Well, let's go back for me. All right. I want to Which ones do we ask him about? >> Okay. So, that would be number nine. >> So, number >> Well, I number seven. >> Seven. >> I don't think we say a definite no to
that at this point because the person did identify him. So, the director has no idea. So, I'd say we leave that. >> People could identify me. >> All right. >> And nine. >> Nine. He has no idea, too. And I'm gonna get her name sounded.
>> Yes. Because this is [laughter] applies every year. >> She applies every year and she does it in a very similar way. So he says >> no to it. >> Yep. So that's number nine. >> All right. And what about number 15? >> And number 15 he had no idea. >> He didn't know anything. >> Right.
>> And and they didn't have anything. So I say we say no now to number nine and number 15. So if we look at our money now. So now you're trying to leave seven open because he talked to someone else at the library supposedly. >> And that person I think we need to at
least try to do some outreach. >> You didn't say about seven. Did you pay seven? Was No. >> No. I think seven there. >> We're still holding that. >> Okay. >> 1800 for the uh >> No. And so now Yeah, that's a no.
>> So now we're rolling back 1,800. Okay. All right. So, we now do have money that we can now stop moving around to some of those others. I'm >> so I think we're we're comfortable. So, the only ones we have to do is if
there's any way if this gentleman is at least >> related to Jack, >> all he has to say is I >> Are you related to Jack? >> I'll be in that line. >> But at least this person is aware that they're not they can't do it.
There's no place at the library. >> So, I would say we leave that one. All right. >> But if you can before the next meeting, >> I'll try and get Well, we meeting again in December. >> Yeah, we're still off on numbers, but we're closer. >> We're better off.
>> We're much better off because now we have >> now we have money. Even if we were to fund all of those things that we've identified at this point, we have money that we can put in place. >> Right. >> Right. I'm comfortable with that. >> So, Chris, I don't know what we're going to do uh with
