There were no announcements regarding upcoming events C. There were no citizens wishing to address the Board. D. Consideration and approval of minutes of last meeting Georgene moved to accept the minutes as distributed, Melanie seconded the motion; it passed unanimously. E. Considerationof and possible action on 1. Sponsorship grant applications received by 5:00 p.m., December 11, 2009. Charles prefaced the discussion by thanking Judy for the work she'd done to summarize the grant applications expressing his hope that all qualified applications would receive some award this time Since the amount that the applicants had asked for exceeded the amount of money the Board had to allocate he suggested that an equal across-the-board deduction be made to all applications. He also suggested that if the Board did not agree with that idea, another option would be to provide small one-time awards from the Board's budget for support for community public art Finally, he recommended that all applicants be given feedback about the strengths and weaknesses of their applications. The Board received applications from the following organizations: The Palace Theater — requested $20,000 (21% of budget) Wilhamson Museum — requested $5,000 (16% of budget) Georgetown Art Works — requested $2,044 (36% of budget) Friends of Georgetown Symphony Society (FOGSS) — requested $10,000 (100% of budget) Georgetown Symphony Society (GSS) — requested $17,231 (25% of budget) Georgetown Festival of the Arts (GOFA) — requested $28,000 (25% of budget) Hill Country Book Festival — requested $1,500 (% of budget not clear) Penny began the discussion by stating that many of the answers to questions were redundant and that the Board should consider revising the questions. Georgene pointed out that the redundancy gave applicants who provided an irrelevant answer in one question a chance in another question to provide relevant information —that is, some people misunderstood what information the Board was looking for in certain questions, but were able to respond appropriately when the questions were phrased differently. Georgene asked whether the Board members believed all of the applicants met the eligibility qualifications. She also asked what others thought should be done about the applicants who requested more than 25% of their budgets (Art Works, FOGSS, and the Book Festival). A discussion followed inwhich the interrelationships among the GSS, FOGSS, and GOFA were examined. The members decided that the fiscal independence of the three organizations was more important than the fact that they shared, now or at one time, the same IRS nonprofit designation. The members agreed that the eligibility requirements may need to be revised to reflect this distinction. The consensus was that the Hill Country Book Festival did not meet the eligibility requirement of having "a history of continuous, stable programming for a minimum of two years prior to the application due date." The members agreed to remove the Book Festival's request for funding from consideration. Board members agreed that the requests of FOGSS and Art Works should be reduced to 25% of their budgets, making them $2,500 and $1,425 respectively. As the Board members considered the budgets of the applicants, they noted that some had put values on in -kind donations and others hadn't. Assigning values to in -kind services is difficult in many cases and could lead to inflated budgets The consensus was that future applications should not include in -kind donations as a part of their budgets. Reducing the requests in question to 25% of budget and eliminating the request of the Book Festival made the total amount of requests $74,156, which was $11,156 more than the Board budgeted for sponsorship grants. Discussion followed about how to divide the funding in an. equitable way. Opposition existed to across-the-board percentage reductions because it would seem to encourage future applicants to request inflated amounts, assuming their request would be cut by some percentage. Others suggested that the shortfall should be divided among the largest requestors, with the organizations that had asked for small amounts receiving their full request. The Board members finally agreed that across-the-board percentage reductions were the only fair way to allocate this year, but agreed that in coming years, applications would be scrutinized much more thoroughly and that failure to submit a complete application would result in disqualification. The Board saw this round of grant -making as a learning experience for themselves and the members hoped that the applicants also learned about the standards to which they will be held if they apply in subsequent years. Georgene moved that all requests be funded at 90% of the amount for which they qualified at 25% of their budgets, or 90% of the amount they requested, in the cases of those organizations that requested less than 25% of their budget. Steve seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. This motion created a shortfall or $3741 in the grants budget. Steve moved to take the $3741 shortfall in the grants budget from the Board's budget for community public art, so that all requests may be funded at 90%. Georgene seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Steve moved that a denial letter be sent immediately to the Hill Country Book Festival and that other organizations would be sent award letters after Council approves the appropriations. Penny seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Board will take their recommendations to Council on January 26, 2010.

R K rt ;. Rachel Slade Wednesday, October 21, 2009 Section B rea residents flocked to the Square over the weekend to enjoy a sprawl of art -filled tents and a courthouse brimming with the aromas of more than a dozen restaurants. Georgetown's first -ever Art in the Square, formerly known as Art in the Park, brought more than 175 fine artists from across the nation for a two-day show featuring everything from paintings and drawings to jewelry and hand -dyed scarves as part of the Blue Lotus Art Show Tour, which launched in Georgetown this season. And Taste of Georgetown, which took over the in- terior of the historic courthouse and overlapped with the art show Saturday night, filled attendees' bellies with helpings of area restaurants' best dishes, from meatballs to cupcakes, finished off with wine sam- plings from a half -dozen Texas wineries. October's packed calendar continues this weekend with the Williamson Museum's annual Archeology Day, the Exceptional Georgetown Alliance's Boo Run, The Georgetown Project's variety shower fundraiser, a chocorama at San Gabriel Presbyterian Church to benefit The Caring Place and a concert by Vallejo at Georgetown's house concert venue The Beacon on Saturday as well as the Williamson County Humane Society's 30th anniversary party, an afternoon of games at the Georgetown Community Center as resi- dents Play for Parkinson's and the annual Buddy Walk at Reunion Ranch on Sunday. Enjoy. 1�HE�SUN MOrith Crowded calendar prompts proclamation citywide display of artistic banners, a profes sional symphony performance, Southwestern University and Palace Theatre shows, George town ISD concerts, a Square covered in fine artists' work; with a laundry list of artsy and cultural events, it's no wonder that October has been pro claimed the month of arts and humanity in Georgetown. "This month will showcase just about all the arts op portunities in the communitY," said Charles Aguillion, president of the Georgetown Arts & Culture Board, "and it was not orchestrated in any way; we just took a step back and looked at what was going on in Georgetown just this month." Events range from the large and annual, like Art in the Square, a display and sale by more than 150 fine artists from around the country descending on town the week end of October 17 and 18 that was previously known as Art in the Park, and Taste of Georgetown, an evening of tastings from local restaurants, to the small and original, such as a performance by soprano Claire Vangelisti at Southwestern University and the performance of Peter Pan at the Ninth Grade Center. Mr. Aguillon said it was an opportunity not only for the arts groups in town to introduce or re-introduce themselves to the community at large, but for the city's thespians to prove their worth. "We're really pushing the economic development side of arts for Georgetown," he said. "We hope this helps show that these are the kinds of things that bring people to Georgetown � people come from all over the place and they eat here, they stay here." And although this will be the first official month of the arts, Mr. Aguillon says it won't be the last. The Arts & Culture Board is already looking ahead at next year and trying to find options for collaboration and cross-promo tion among the various arts events to make next October even better; the board will meet with local arts organiza tions to begin working on a master events calendar in a summit on October 22. '-"" ,_,. ....,, I•Life Wednesday, September 30,, Se� Georgetown in October offers something for every one, whether you enjoy marching band competitions or Shakespeare-based plays, or are passionate about choco late and animals or photography exhibits. So welcome fall with a concert, a play and some delicious food, and celebrate the city's latest tradition. Sun photos Georgetown is becoming a hot spot for music and the visual arts, as exemplified above during this year's Festival of the Aris' Temple Symphony Orchestra concert (Tom Fairlie pictured), This October has been officially recognized as the month of the arts for Georgetown. Submitted by Nick Ramos These are just a sampling of the banners that will be displayed around Georgetown during October eorgetown will get a little bright er tomorrow as Georgetown Art Works begins displaying peer-se lected artwork from 55 area art- ists on light post banners around the Georgetown Square and the George town Public Library. The Banner Project, themed this year as Happy Trails based on the Roy Rogers Song, is an unprecedented arts event in town that organizers hope will "engage, intrigue and challenge" viewers. "Public art enhances our quality of life," artist and project coordinator Nick Ramos said in a written statement. "We selected pieces that would get people talk- make you laugh out loud ... and every one of them is thought provoking." The public is invited to vote on their favorite banner during the month of Octo ber, and the three artists will be honored on November 6. Ballots and maps will be available at the Visitors Center, the Wil liamson Museum and the library, where three painted, handcrafted mailboxes will be located to accept ballots. There's no age requirement on the ballots, so children are encouraged to participate as well. The banner project was made possible by a grant from the Arts & Culture Board and will be on display into November, al though voting will end on October 31. For ing. Some are whimsical, some tradition-more information on the Banner Project, al, some vibrant, some peaceful.

State Propositions 2, 3 and 5 are reforms that were passed dur- ing the 81st Session of the Texas Legislature but still require the ap proval of Texas voters this November 3.

Here requires the property tax of a residence homestead be solely based on the property's value as a residence homestead regardless of what it might be worth if pur- chased for a different use, such as an office or business. This proposal is a response to residence homesteads being appraised based on what a person's homestead would be worth if it were converted to commercial property. It applies only to residential homesteads and not to second homes or investment proper- ties. Proposition 3 provides for uniform prop- erty tax appraisal standards and procedures to be used by county appraisal districts. Cur- rently, property tax appraisal practices and procedures vary widely across the state. This proposition will provide for the equitable treatment of all property owners by ensuring that taxable property is appraised in the same manner no matter where it is located in the state. Proposition 5 makes it easier to form ap- praisal review boards for protest hearings. This proposition will allow two or more adjoining county property tax appraisal districts, if they so choose, to consolidate appraisal review board functions. The vol- untary ability to consolidate smaller county appraisal review boards will help resolve property tax appraisal protests more quickly and make protesting appraisals more con- venient for property owners, especially in lesser -populated areas of Texas. Taxpayer advocates are calling these proposals the "most significant reforms for property taxpayers in 30 years. I have con- sistently fought for taxpayers and property owners. These propositions are important to protecting you against property tax appraisal abuse. Mr. Gattis is the District 20 state representative.

Thank you and congratulations to George- town Art Works and the success of Art in the Square. This was a top quality event, with out- standing artists from around the country. You really showed great support of the square by publicizing all the great eateries on the Square instead of bringing in outside food vendors. The setup was smooth and organized, and the over- all event was so fun. I talked to many who were shouting praises of its success. Great job on the weather you ordered, too!

Additionally, the DGA put on a fabulous Taste of Georgetown, with delicious food from many of Georgetown's finest restau- rants. It was the best yet in quality and va- riety. Thanks to the Williamson Museum and folks at the courthouse for the perfect venue and hospitality. We appreciate all the hard work from all who participated and volunteered in each of these, first-class events. These are the kinds of things' that make Georgetown such a great place to live in, dine in and shop in.
