In accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, the agendas for our meetings are posted on Wednesday or Thursday the week before the meeting. If you wish to place an item on the agenda, please let me know by Monday, a week before the meeting. On the day that I post the agenda at City Hall I will send you a packet, either electronically or by mail, whichever you prefer, that includes the • agenda, the minutes of the previous meeting, and any other material that is relevant to the month's discussions. At the meeting, we can only discuss the topics that are on the agenda. If citizens wish to address the Board they may ask to do so either in advance of the meeting or at the time of the meeting. They are limited to three minutes for their presentation. The Board may or may not choose to ask questions and discuss the citizen's issue. However, no action may be taken on any request until it has been placed on an agenda —usually the following month, if the Board chooses to consider taking action. Our meetings usually last about two hours. If you leave before the meeting is adjourned your departure will be noted in the minutes. This is to make clear who was present if any motions are voted on after you leave. Looking forward to seeing all of you again on Tuesday, Judy 0 2011/12 Budget input Boards and Commissions Board: A A' r.S ",� 'uL yuF'E 1.

The diversity of our Board of Directors continues to reflect this broad scope of support. In its history, GSS is responsible for the founding of other arts events/organizations that continue to add to the richness of the culture of the community such as: Georgetown Festival of the Arts, Art in the • Square, and the Friends of the Georgetown Symphony Society. In its 11 years of existence, GSS has become a cornerstone on which other arts organizations have been built. In order to continue bringing world class music to our community, it is necessary for GSS to re -organize and reach out to even more leaders of Georgetown to serve on our Board of Directors. A highly motivated committee of supporters is currently working on both of these areas. During this transition, we are seeking extra support from the City of Georgetown outside the past event sponsorship program. This is an official request on behalf of the GSS for $50,000 to assist with our continuing mission. This is an extraordinary time for our organization and we believe the community wants GSS to be sustained. /_/ Charles C.

DAVE AND DEBBIE JOHNSON Clearwater Court Grny's anatomy lesson I was disappointed to read Kerry Sullivan's letter to the editor in the March 6 edition of the Sun. Sullivan finds the rhinoceros sculp- ture at the library offensive and feels that it threatens library -goers as well as the other sculptures around it. I think the positioning of the rhinoceros in front of the library is appropriate. The rhinoceros is my favorite. In my opinion, it is magnificent. As a degreed artist I find the attention to detail and the texture amazing. Additionally, the sculptor has managed to cap- ture the energy and movement of this animal and place them at our fingertips. Since the library is a place of learning, the sculpture offers the opportunity to experi- ence the vigor of a rhinoceros without being ., But this bill isn't just about the news media. It's about anyone who has been targeted by a SLAPP action and frightened into silence. It happened to some Frisco residents who complained about abuses by their ho- physically threatened by it. To me it is more stunning than seeing a living rhinoceros in a cage at the zoo panting from the heat. Different subject matter appeals to dif- ferent people. The library has a wonderful assortment. There is something to appeal to everyone. As to the attack on the rhinoceros' accurate anatomy, I can only say that suggesting this fabulous artwork should be modeled like a Ken doll is just silly. Children and adults alike know that animals have natural bodily functions. The next time Kerry Sullivan is in the library, I recommend as reading material the children's book Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi . I also recommend parking on the other side and using the other set of doors if the rhinoc- eros is scary and offensive. As for me I will walk by it in awe and admiration. I think the rhinoceros should stay where it is. TERI GRAY WatersEdge Circle Public employees You can't read a paper or turn on TV today without seeing the "plight" of the public union employee. The cries range from the truthful to the absurd. If one were to write truthful headline it would read something like, "Public union The bill's bipartisan support should ease skeptics' concerns that it's part of some liberal or conservative agenda. It's just the right thing to do. The Dallas Morning New,'March 4 cries our ox is being gored and demands that the taxpayers be gored instead." This led me to ask myself, aren't public employee unions like welfare and Medicaid on steroids? Like those recipients, we give them income, and pay for their direct and indirect medical costs. The steroidal component comes because we also pay for their taxes, their re- tirement program and union dues. Plus, even if the quality of their work is in all respects substandard, it is virtually impossible to fire them especially if they can gain any kind of seniority. So what to do? Look to two words, account- ability and quality. These two words mean the seniority system for pay and advancement as well as tenure goes out the door and merit and quality ser- vice reigns. Like in the lives of their private sector counterparts, metrics rule. Measurable gold standards should be sought out, implemented and technology adopted where ever possible. If the metrics are not met, then raises should be withheld or jobs should be ended. Jobs should always go to the most qualified, not to the most politically correct. These suggestions will not solve the prob- lem overnight, but it will bring a sense of reality to the public employee unions.

The sculptures make up The Georgetown Sculpture Tour, part of the larger Central Texas Sculpture Tour, and are on display until October 2011. Most of the exhibitors are members of The Texas Society of Sculptors. Society member and Georgetown resident Dar Richardson is the man behind the placement of the sculptures in Georgetown. Dar says that all of the sculptures are for sale, and twenty-five percent of sales go to the Arts and Culture Board to encourage the development of all the arts in Georgetown. Here is a sampling of the jewels that beckon visitors: OLD GLORY BY TERRY JONES. This sculpture is symbolic of the rock for which it stands.

They feel they get more joy out of it than our clients" other volunteers stand ready to run errands and pick up prescriptions for the homebound. Care calling is another way volunteers regularly check on cli- ents, either by phone or in person. And handymen complete minor household repairs. The organization also lends vi- tal medical equipment, such as crutch- es, walkers, and wheelchairs, to anyone in the community. "I don't have the words to say how much I appreciate this help," said Sylvia Lankford, a client who needed as- sistance getting to and from dialysis treatments. "My drivers have been so wonderful and are a large part of my support system." Sylvia, who recently passed away, was amazed at the or- ganization of the office as well as the compassion of the volunteers. The sponsoring churches offer some financial support, provide members for the governing body, and assist in recruiting volunteers. The organization, however, relies heavily on fundraising throughout the year. The annual choral concert, its main fundraiser, is sched- uled for April 28 at First Baptist George- town, where the audience makes a freewill donation. The San Gabriel Chorale and choirs from all twelve sponsoring churches give spectacular performances, as well as a combined choir grand finale. Other 2011 fundrais- ing plans include a fall dance, a vol- unteer appreciation luncheon, and an open house. "Faith" means believing in some- thing, despite material evidence to the contrary. Faith in Action helps seniors in our community believe that indepen- dence and quality of life are possible. And its many volunteers can believe that their actions are worth their time. "For a very small cost of your time," Larry Black says, "the rewards are bountiful." ■ MARCH 2O11 ■ GEORGETOWN VIEW 1 13 MIRRORICITYBYJOHANN EYFELL is a bronze sculpture installed at the Georgetown Playscape.

The American Cancer Society recommends that Ameri- can women begin mammogram screenings at age 40. In England, however, the recommended age is 50. That age would have been too late for Christine, who had no family history of breast cancer, had found no suspicious lumps, and had no reason to go for the costly screening before age 50. Luckily, Christine moved to the United States in 1991, and on October 11, 2005—at age 44—she was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram. She was shocked. If she had been in England, that cancer would have gone undetected until it had likely spread throughout her body. Christine elected to have a double mastectomy rather than the lumpectomy her doctor sug- gested. "Something told me Ithat the mastectomy] was the right thing to do," she said. Her in- tuition was right; following the operation, she learned that the aggressive, triple -positive mass "However, through it all, I remained thankful that it was me and not my kids who had cancer:' was twice the suspected size. Christine's life was jolted by the physical and emotional effects of the chemotherapy, radia- tion, reconstructive surgery, and hysterectomy that followed her operation. Family and financial matters added significant stress to the situation. However, through it all, Christine remained "thankful that it was me and not my kids who had cancer." Five years later, Christine is cancer free and, while she is hesi- tant to say she's beaten cancer, she is optimistic about the future and fully intends to see her sons graduate from college. She has made it her mission to help other breast cancer victims by par- ticipating in the annual Relay For Life event held at Forbes Middle School. For the past three years, Christine has served as the team captain for the Wonder Women (and Men) of Williams Elementary, where she is employed as the campus nurse. From November to April the team works tirelessly to raise funds to benefit the Ameri- can Cancer Society. This year The Wonder Women (and Men) hosted a Dine to Donate event at Applebee's on February 22nd and 28th. They will hold a garage sale on the Williams Elementary School campus on March 26th, in addition to other campus - wide activities. Johns is approaching 50 this year and says that she now sees aging in a whole new light. This Wonder Woman counts every birthday as a gift. ■ 16 1 MARCH 2O11 ■ GFORGFTOWN VIEW 0 0- 2011 Application for Board & Commission Appointment Step 1: Fill out this Application.

Chair Charles Aguillon called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. The late start was due to the length of the subcommittee meeting that took place before the board meeting. B. There were no announcements regarding upcoming events. C. There were no citizens wishing to address the Board. D. Consideration and approval of minutes of October 26, 2010. Mandy moved to accept the minutes as distributed; second by Eric. Motion passed unanimously. E. Consideration of and possible action on 1. Southwestern University/3M grant, art selection committee — Eric Lashley. Eric announced that • he had not been able to schedule a meeting of the selection committee yet because the Parks Board did not choose Bob Laemel to be their representative until their meeting on November 11. Mary Visser of Southwestern has agreed to serve on the committee and will select a student to serve. Because of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, Eric doesn't expect the committee will meet until after December 1. 2. Georgetown Sculpture Tour additions, map, brochure — Dar Richardson, Judy Fabry. Dar announced that he had calculated the worth of the borrowed sculptures on display in Georgetown to be approximately $750,000, which is a remarkable display of art for a very small investment. There was some discussion about the sculpture that was stolen, Pokey Park's bronze frog, I've Been Kissed. Judy and Eric have been working with the Sun to advertise the loss and with the police to try to recover the piece. The City's insurance will cover the loss if necessary, but the City will have to pay the $5,000 deductible. Judy distributed copies of the Board's budget expense summary and the revised map of the Sculpture Tour that Kendell Joseph had created (appended to and made a part of these minutes). She said she'd received a quote of $1200 from Geoff Hammond to take pictures of the new sculptures, that Cari Miller had been able to contribute less to the cost of creating a brochure for the tour than she'd originally suggested, and that the Board has only about $2200 left to work with for the brochure project. Mandy suggested that instead of printing a brochure, 1Application Step 1: Fill out this Application.

Deadline for applications is January 14, 2011. • Please accept my application to serve on one of the cities Boards. I have identified three boards covering areas in which I have sufficient experience to make a contribution. These are: Arts and Culture ® Main Street Advisory ® Convention & Visitors During the past two years I served on the Arts and Culture Board. This is my primary area of interest and I would like to continue serving on this board. Additional relevant experience includes a Z year tenure on the board of the Sarasota French Film Festival. That Festival was the French Film Industries major initiative in the US and had a budget of over $5 million. I also work with the Georgetown Festival of the Art and am currently the President of that organization. • Since the Arts and Culture Board is unfunded this year it is critical to have experienced Board members to continue the existing programs we have initiated. Relevant experience will be invaluable if we are to continue to have a presence in the community. Therefore, it is imperative that we have as many experienced board members serving the community as possible. Thru our efforts on the Arts and Culture Board, I have participated in joint meetings with the Main Street Advisory and Convention &z Visitors Boards. We need to work together for the betterment of the community, ensuring we're marching to the same drummer. The overall knowledge of their goals and objectives would serve well were I to serve on either of those boards. In addition, my prior work experience in the travel industry at both American Airlines and Travelocity adds to my ability to make positive contributions to either of those boards. RECUR\RFD . ! DEC 3 0 20110 Wes Odell Donates Photograph Try the New Digital Library to the Library Wes Odell, whose photographs will be hanging until late -January in our second floor galleries, invited the library staff to select one of his photos to hang permanently in the library. While we didn't reach a unanimous decision, it was clear that the prefer- ence was for a Texas image and one photo received four votes, so the majority prevailed with the choice of Have You Been Here?, a classic Hill Country scene with barbed wire, bluebonnets, blue skies and a rustic building. On December 21 the Arts and Cul- ture Board unanimously approved the donation (the Board must approve all donations of art to the City). Exactly where to hang the photograph will be our next exercise in group think. Winners of the Edible Construction Extravaganza The 2010 Edible Construction Contest at the Georgetown Public Library was the best "gingerbread" contest yet. (Although we changed the title from gingerbread contest a couple of years ago, old habits die hard and we find ourselves still referring to it that way.) The fact is, though, that allowing the construction material to be anything edible made for much livelier competition, constructions that truly look kid -made, and lots more entries —we reached a new high of 33 this year! The public voted to select the winners in the six entry categories. In a couple of categories the competition was fierce, but in the end no ties needed to be broken. Emma Howell won the age 8 and younger category; Jessica Hoskins won the ages 9-12 category; Andrew Hoskins won the ages 13-17 category; Karen Frost won the ages 18 and older category; a group of young people from the San Gabriel Presbyterian Church won the original design by two or more persons category; and the Crain Family once again took the honors in the design made from a kit category. The Crains have kit -making perfected —they've won every year since 2007! You may see the winning entries (and all the others, too) on our website at http:// gallery.georgetown.org/library/2010-edible- construction-extravaganza/ For more than a year weve been promising that • the library will "soon" be lending digital materials. The negotiations to acquire this service were very complicated, primarily because the publishers of digital media really want you to buy their products, not borrow them. But library values finally prevailed and on December 17 we debuted the Central Texas Digital Library. We're happy and relieved to report that so far most of the comments from users have been positive. You must be a registered member of the Georgetown Public Library to use the digital library, which allows you to check out (download) audiobooks, eBooks, music, and videos to your computer or smart phone. Full instructions are on our website (library.georgeto wn.org). They are not one -size -fits -all; instructions for a PC are different from those for a Mac. To log in you will need your library barcode and the 7-digit phone number that is on your library account. Once you've logged in and have used the Overdrive icon to get to the digital library website, click on "Supported Audio Devices" and "Supported eBook devices" before you do anything else. You need to know which electronic formats the specific devices you'll be using will support. In general, audiobooks— that is, books you are going to listen to --are downloadable to many hand-held devices; the hand- held devices to which you may download eBooks— books that you will read on a screen --are more limited. Make sure you understand the difference between an audiobook and an eBook and what their icons look like in the digital library. One title may come in several different formats and you want to choose the correct LIBRARY STAFF format.

Jukes • Betty's earliest memories are of organizing the neighborhood kids. She has spent a lifetime organizing and directing others and has many awards, lifetime memberships and honors from her activities. At one point in time it was said Betty had organized more events in Houston than anyone, as evidenced by the following: Betty and Harry Jukes moved to Houston in August 1967 and within one month she had organized the First Junior Woman's Club and within another three months had organized and become the president of Houston Junior Woman's Club. She searched for varied projects for the two clubs and started many including the Sunday Docent Program at Bayou Bend at the request of Miss Ima Hogg whom Betty had written asking for projects. Among the many other projects were the receptionists for the Museum of Fine Arts; fund raising and renewal teams for the Houston Symphony, docents for the new Houston Public Library; docents for the Museum of Architecture and Texana at Houston Baptist University; assistant therapists for Bumett-Bayland Children's Home, Richmond's Texas State Mentally and Physically Handicapped School; Planned • Parenthood and others. She met with Bill Hobby, President of Houston Hunter & Jumper Horse Show, before he became the Lt.

You see, when you have an academic background in Fine & Decorative Arts, have served as a Museum Curator, and have Executive Director experience planning budgets, managing contractors, and implementing marketing campaigns, it's rare to find an opportunity that seems to be such a perfect match for your skills -- and true passion in life. After spending the last two years launching the educational publishing division of one of the companies my husband founded, I've since taken on a flexible, part-time senior advisory position, which has completely freed me up to get re -involved in my love of the arts. As you'll discover in a moment when you flip to my resume, I think you'll find my past experience as Project Manager for The Winter Antiques Show in New York City, as well as Curator and Archivist for the Brownsville Texas Historical Association particularly relevant for the position. But before you jump ahead to look at those experiences in detail, there are several additional reasons why I think you may find my unique (and somewhat unusual) background particularly well -suited for the position. • After completing my studies, I spent several years plugged into the New York City art scene, at The Magazine Antiques, Winter Antiques Show, Whitney Museum of American Art as well as working on several exhibitions for the Cooper -Hewitt, Smithsonian National Design Museum. In 2006 I relocated to Shanghai, China, where I founded ArtToursChina -- an arts -focused tour company offering an inside look into the always evolving Chinese Art Scene (featured in the Wall Street Journal in December 2007). I spent the last few years conducting postgraduate research across Asia, including in China, Hong Kong (University of Hong Kong), and the Philippines, as well as in Mexico. My husband and I relocated to Georgetown in September of 2009 and I am eager to join the Arts & Culture Board and further promote the arts in Georgetown. Along with this letter, I've also furnished a copy of my resume. I'm very much looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. I can be reached at my private phone number (956) 975-9639 or by email at Tvlene.Levesqueggmail.com Once again, I'm just so thrilled about this opportunity. Thank you for all your time in considering my candidacy for the board. Please let me know if you need any other information.
