MAF was formed primarily to provide a community based resource for all facets of the arts. They are not controlled by the same rules and regulations as the MAC. The foundation has no tie to the city or its commissions. They are a resource for any art group, art person, or art project. Their primary fundraising mechanism is Art Sip. Art Sip will be held in September to correspond with Art Week again this year. Nancy recommended that Meridian needs to have a central venue that sparks interest and success in the arts. Nancy recommended that commissioners check the MAF website To develop, advance and nurture all facets of the arts to enhance the quality of life for Meridian residents and its visitors Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 10, 2018 – Page 4 of 49 MERIDIAN ARTS COMMISSION MINUTES • APRIL 12, 2018 • PAGE 2 regularly and help connect artists with their granting process.

She reminded the commissioners that they are always welcome to send questions to James, Joe, herself, or other board members for items to take to the MAF board meetings. d.

YES! “All meetings of a governing body of a public agency shall be open to the public.” “Governing body” includes commissions that are authorized to make recommendations to a public agency. Open Meeting Law All Commission meetings must: Be open to the public Provide the opportunity for all persons to attend Be noticed prior to convening: 48 hours (regular) or 24 hours (special) Follow an agenda Strive to follow published/adopted agenda Law allows limited amendment of agenda after noticing or during meeting (if action at next meeting) Be memorialized in summary minutes What is a “meeting”? Meeting= Convening and Making a decision or Deliberating toward decision Decision= Quorum (half + 1) + Action Deliberating= Receiving information or Exchanging information or Exchanging opinions The Idaho Attorney General says: “The requirement that the Open Meeting Law be complied with… should not be evaded by holding smaller meetings with less than a quorum present or by having a go-between contact each of the governing body members to ascertain his/her sentiment.” Is it a “meeting”? No: 5 Commissioners at a BBQ talking about food. “Meeting” does not include informal gatherings without deliberations. Probably no: 5 Commissioners at a BBQ talking about whether Meridian should put a mural on the water tower. “Meeting” does not include informal gatherings, and this is not deliberation toward a decision. BUT: If the Commissioners are later asked to make a decision regarding this issue, disclose this discussion on the meeting record. Is it a “meeting”? Yes: 5 Commissioners at a BBQ talking about a mural proposal that is on their upcoming agenda. While “meeting” does not include informal gatherings, whenever a quorum convenes and deliberates, even informally, this is a “meeting.” Yes (pretty much): 4 Commissioners…etc. Not a meeting (no quorum). BUT: It is “deliberation.” Violates the purpose of the law, even if no actual violation. Ex parte info? Ex Parte Communication = Receiving, off the record, information or opinion regarding a matter pending before the Commission Informal conversations with citizens E-mail or voice mail opinions (even unsolicited) Individual site visits, research, interviews The Commission may sit in a quasi-judicial capacity when it decides whether to make a recommendation; fairness is required. The Idaho Supreme Court says: Rule of thumb: Try to avoid ex parte communications. “When a governing body deviates from the public record, it essentially conducts a second fact- gathering session without proper notice.” BUT… The Idaho Supreme Court also says: Unsolicited or inadvertent ex parte communication neutralized if disclose: Identity of communicator General description of communication The Commission is not held to a standard of disinterestedness. Is it inappropriate ex parte info? Yes: Commissioner goes to the proposed site of a future mural that is to be discussed at an upcoming Commission meeting, in order to see what the site looks like. This is an off-record fact-gathering session not properly noticed or open to the public. No: Commissioner lives near the proposed mural site and drives by every day on her way to and from work. Incidental observation is not necessarily inappropriate fact-gathering. BUT: The Commissioner should disclose her experience on the record. Is it inappropriate ex parte info? No: The Commission wishes to see the site of a proposed mural that is to be discussed at an upcoming Commission meeting. This is OK, but since this is a meeting at which information will be received for the purposes of making a decision, it must be properly noticed, minutes must be taken, and the public must be allowed to attend. Public testimony The Open Meeting Law does not require that the Commission take public comments or testimony. BUT: The Commission president may allow or request public comments or testimony. Executive session Executive session = A closed meeting. There are 10 specific exceptions to the open meeting requirement. It is unlikely that this Commission would conduct deliberations under any of these exceptions. If you foresee the need to hold an executive session, please consult your attorney in advance. Phone meetings The law specifically allows meeting by telephone conference call IF: Notice requirements are met At least one Commissioner is physically present at the noticed location The communications are audible to all attending Voting is not secret E-mail meetings No. E-mail deliberations violate: Notice requirement Physical presence requirement Audible communications requirement Secret voting prohibition Administrative message is not “deliberation” Open meeting violations Any action taken in violation of the Open Meeting Law is void. Subsequent actions are also considered tainted and therefore void. FIX: Do-over, from the beginning. If an action is knowingly taken in violation of the Law, the actor is subject to being individually sued and fined, and may be subject to criminal prosecution. Any affected citizen can sue. COMMISSION CODE & BYLAWS City Code provisions Title 2, Chapters 1 (general) and 2 (MAC) Annual report mandatory Commissioner term expires → Position noticed; may reapply Two successive terms OK; 3rd by City Council vote only Absent for ½ of meetings in 12 months = automatic dismissal Bylaws provisions Committees must comply with Open Meetings Law Appearances before Commission are at discretion of Council president Elections are in December Sitting vice president is automatically nominated for president 22 ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT 23 Self-interested contracts Idaho Code Title 74, Chapter 5; Idaho Code section 18-1359; Meridian City Code section 1-14-8 Commissioners may not be “interested in” any contract with the City (no “self- interested contracts”) 24 Exceptions to self-interested contracts STEP 1: Contact City Attorney’s Office! Other suppliers scarce (<3 in 15-mile radius) Contract necessary for disaster response Commissioner has “remote interest” in contract + makes written disclosure Unpaid commissioner strictly follows competitive bidding rules in Idaho Code section 18-1361A 25 Conflicts of interest Title 74, Chapter 4, Idaho Code; City Code section 1-14-5 Actions are required when you are asked to make a decision as a commissioner that benefits you or your household member personally or professionally 26 What if I think I have a conflict? STEP 1: Contact City Attorney’s Office! If CAO finds no conflict: Proceed normally. If CAO finds potential conflict: Commissioner must submit to Commission a written statement describing potential conflict. Commission consults CAO; CAO advises: Allow conflicted Commissioner’s participation notwithstanding conflict (usually conditioned on Commissioner following 18-1361A procedure); OR Excuse conflicted Commissioner from further participation on the issue.  Commission/Council votes on whether to excuse. 27 Gifts and favors Idaho Code section 18-1359; City Code section 1-14-10 Commissioners (in course of official duties) may not accept gifts more than $50 in value Commissioners may not accept ANY gift that might influence actions on the Commission Commissioners may not grant favors 28 Ethics laws violations Accept bribe: $50,000 fine + 5 yrs. jail Corrupt acts: $1,000 fine, 1 yr. jail Unlawful City contract: $1,000 fine, 1 yr. jail Fail to consult CAO + disclose conflict of interest: $500 civil fine Violate Meridian City Code: $300 fine + reprimand, suspension, and/or discharge 29 CONCLUSION 30 Listen to your PANGS Personal benefit?

Broadway Ave. Meridian, ID 83642 Dear Meridian Arts Commission, Greetings from Treasure Valley Children's Theater. We are a Meridian based 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that empowers and inspires youth through the transformative power of the performing arts. Thank you for sponsoring our recent Theater for Young Performers program, "Willy Wonka, Jr.". Your support of $1,500.00 was received on 02/02/2018. As a sponsor you received benefits totaling $1,500.00. Any amount donated above and beyond the received value is tax deductible as allowed by law. We believe theater arts programs have a powerful impact on the health and success of a community. Our performing arts experiences offer Treasure Valley youth a safe space within which to take risks, explore new ideas, develop their sense of self, express themselves, and support others in doing the same. Our programs also build a climate of high expectation, discipline, and academic rigor that attracts businesses and strengthens community. As a TVCT program sponsor, you are helping us change the world one theater kid at a time. Thank you, Autumn Kers Founder & Executive Director "Willy Wonka, Jr." 2018 Final Report • How many people were served by the program? Our production featured a cast of 38 youth between the ages of 10-17 and 3 youth technical assistants between the ages of 12-17. The cast performed four times at Meridian Middle School, March 9-10, 2018. Total audience attendance was approximately 2,300. • Expenses: This production was the most expensive in our company's history. The total costs exceeded $11,900 with 29% in personnel, 23% in royalties and scripts, 12% in venue rental, 36% in costs of goods sold including set, costume and prop supplies and materials. We did receive over $5,000 in materials donated from Infinity Pools, RC Willey, and several individuals. • Gross Revenues: Revenues were a bit lower than past productions. This is attributed to the greater expense and our strategy to give away tickets to all active TVCT students, nonprofit partners, and sponsor prospects. In total, we gave away nearly 500 tickets. Total gross revenue was $15,389 with 44% from sponsors, 49% from ticket sales and merchandise sales,7% from student fees. We also raised $1,904 for our building fund from candy and raffle donations. • Challenges: Space continues to be one of our biggest obstacles. The cast rehearsed in a space much smaller than our performance area, which made actual spacing and the opportunity to work with set pieces very difficult. Due to schedule and cost, we were only able to use the performance hall for two rehearsals before our first performance. Additionally, we encountered some challenges with additional programming planned for the space during the school hours. This programming almost halted our ability to set our stage, however, a compromise was made and we were able to move forward with setting our stage area. The cost would have exceeded $2,000, however, we negotiated by offering three complimentary workshops, free tickets and a complimentary performance to the school, which reduced our costs by $900. We were also required to have a Meridian Middle School designated staff member in the technical booth with us at all times or we would not be able to use the lighting and sound system. We had a hard time recruiting a staff member willing to spend the weekend with us, but we offered to pay 10% more than the district pays them and that helped recruit a support staff. The space doesn't have dressing rooms so we had to create a make -shift dressing, make-up and greenroom space in the hallway adjacent to the auditorium. Final challenges were in light and sound support. The venue's lighting system is outdated and many of the instruments don't work properly. Our lighting designer was able to create a solution, but the lighting was never as bright as we wanted and there were many heavy shadows that we simply couldn't address due to the equipment. The Middle School recently upgraded their sound system, however, they could not support the number of wireless mics needed for our show and their front of stage ports are not connected to the new sound system. We addressed this issue by bringing in our own sound system to support choir and wireless microphones. Page 1 of 3 "Willy Wonka, Jr." 2018 Final Report Successes: Theater for Young Performers is more interested in the experience of the young performers than that of the audience. That being said, we feel that this production was very successful in both areas. The students reported feelings of success and pride. The students worked together well, took responsibility for their production, and ultimately delivered a consistent performance that they were very proud of. Audience response was very positive and engagement in the lobby was high, an indication of enjoyment. The quality of the production - that which we had control over - met our expectations. Overall, we feel that the 2018 Spring Musical was, once again, a highlight of our production season. Page 2 of 3 "Willy Wonka, Jr." 2018 Final Report Tell us a story. There are so many amazing stories of courage, respect, commitment, enthusiasm and excellence to choose from our "Willy Wonka, Jr." cast, but Michele story best illustrates the transformative power of quality performing arts experiences. When she first discovered theater, Michele was a very shy 10 year old with glasses, gapped teeth, and a passion for books. She auditioned for a production of "Willy Wonka, Jr." at Boise Little Theater in 2012 and was cast as an Oompa Loompa. Michele wasn't the strongest performer on the stage. She could barely sing above a whisper and her natural shyness held her back from being a real stand out. Despite these challenges, she was hooked. She continued her theatrical study with Treasure Valley Children's Theater and became a core member of our youth company. We watched her skills improve and her confidence rise and, more importantly, we watched a quiet young girl transform into a passionate, articulate advocate for her community and the arts. In December of 2017, now 16 year old Michele, auditioned for what would likely be her last Young Performers program with TVCT. Her years of dedication, hard work, and her confidence and talent earned her the title role of "Willy Wonka". True to her gifts, Michele not only delivered an incredible performance, she mentored new cast members with compassion and enthusiasm. She modeled positive behavior and leadership every step of the way. Michele will tell you that theater, our program in particular, changed her life. She is college bound with an ambitious goal to study pretty much everything. She speaks fluent French, reads voraciously, is wise beyond her years, and has become a thoughtful, vocal advocate for human rights and equality. The skills, confidence, and experience Michele gained through the performing arts has transformed her into a leader who will change the world. Thank you for supporting Treasure Valley Children's Theater and our mission to empower youth!

Please RSVP by June 8 to Laura Lee Berg at: lberg@meridiancity.org February 2018 Dear Madam Mayor, City Council Members, Arts Commissioners, and Hillary, It is with sincere gratitude and deep appreciation that I resign my seat on the Meridian Arts Commission. I have tried writing this letter several times over the past few weeks but it seems like my emotions always get the best of me when I think of everything that I have learned and been a part of over the last 10 years with the Arts Commission. Recently I was asked to speak to my church congregation about the importance of community service. It caused me to deeply reflect on my time as a commissioner and the many highlights and even some of the struggles I experienced during my service. It was a great ride! Community service is often measured and understood for the amount of service that one gives but really I think I received much more in return than I ever gave. I'll be honest with you, initially I applied for the MAC seat for selfish reasons. I was a young mother of two very small children at the time and while I was enjoying that full time gig I was yearning for some "adult" time, something that required me to use some of my other skills besides cooking, cleaning, and play-dohing. I showed up on the steps of Meridian City Hall in an old pants suit that was a throw back to my working girl days and tried to look and act like a reasonable community member. I met with Mayor Tammy and Meg Glasgow, (the MAC chair at the time) they were gracious and enthusiastic and made me feel like my voice and abilities had worth. I don't know if the impression that I made was exactly what they were searching for but it didn't really matter, I think that I was the only person that applied for the commission seat that year and soon found that they were welcoming me with open arms. The most amazing part of my time with the commission came from the people I worked with and the contacts I made. I am so grateful to have formed lasting relationships with so many artists, other volunteers, city employees and city council members. I am constantly in awe over the amount of time and energy that these dedicated people put forth in order to make our city and its citizens so distinguished. One of the most amazing coincidences (although I don't believe in coincidences as I see the hand of God in all facets of my life) came from a day that while serving as the commission chair, I was called into the mayor's office to take a meeting with a woman interested in starting a children's theater in Meridian. Come to find out, it was a woman that I had worked with in a summer stock theater internship when we were both high school students. We connected again following that meeting and soon Treasure Valley Children's Theater was born. The idea of running a children's theater company had always been a "pie -in -the -sky" dream of mine, one that I thought I would put off pursuing until much later in my life, after my children were grown, and I had learned all that life had to teach me. However, because of my involvement with the Meridian Arts Commission my dreams, my actual dreams and personal goals are all coming to fruition. This truly is one of the biggest blessings of my life - all because I thought it might be nice to get out of the house a for a few hours each month and give back to my community in some small way. I am positive that I have learned more about art, politics, and community spirit in the past 10 years than I have ever given back, but it is truly thrilling to know that my voice has been heard and my decisions mattered to the building of this community that I love. I am leaving the commission this year as a now busy mother of three school aged children, the artistic director of Treasure Valley Children's Theater, and a passionate advocate for the arts and for the City of Meridian. I thank you all for this amazing experience that I get to walk away with, for the leadership that you recognized in me even before I did, for your trust, your faith, and most importantly your friendship.
