Staff Present: Eric Lashley, Library Director; Judy Fabry, Library Administrative Assistant
Others Present: Judy Ommen, president, Georgetown Art Works
A. Chair Charles Aguillon called the meeting to order at 4:33 p.m.
B. There were no announcements regarding upcoming events
C. There were no citizens wishing to address the Board
D. Philip Baker moved to accept the minutes as distributed, seconded by Karen Lange. The motion
passed unanimously.
E. Consideration of and possible action on
1. Revision of bylaws to reflect new meeting day and time — Judy Fabry. The bylaws currently
read: Section 4.1. Time and Date of Regular Meeting. The Arts and Culture Board meets the
third Wednesday of the month, at 2:00 p.m., unless posted otherwise. Steve Proesel moved to
revise the bylaws to read "the third Tuesday of the month, at 4:30 p.m...." seconded by
Mandy Solin. The motion passed unanimously. Judy will take care of getting the change on
the City Council agenda.
2. Georgetown Sculpture Tour
a. Ribbon - cutting ceremony, 4/23 — Eric Lashley. Eric reminded everyone of the ribbon - cutting
scheduled for Friday, April 23, at 5:00 p.m. in San Gabriel Park. Judy distributed copies of the
invitation she had sent to the Mayor and Council members, Paul Brandenburg, Parks and
Recreation administrators, the Parks and Recreation Board members, former Arts and Culture
Board members, and Ben Trollinger, editor of the Sun. The artists have been invited by email.
Steve suggested all of the contacts for the Summit of the Arts also should receive email
invitations. Judy said she would send them tomorrow.
b. Brochure for Tour — Eric Lashley. Eric distributed copies of the quotes he had gotten from
Geoff Hammond for photographing the sculptures, designing the brochure, and printing either
5,000 or 10,000 copies. There was a lengthy discussion about the costs of printing and members
cited other options. Ultimately, the Board reached consensus to have the printing done locally,
even if it costs more, but several people acknowledged that some local printers (Minuteman
and Ink Images) often send their work elsewhere to be done. Steve moved to authorize a
maximum of $3500 be spent to produce and print 5,000 brochures; Kaki seconded the
motion. After more discussion, Dar amended the motion to $3650 (the amount on Mr.
Hammonds quote for 5,000 brochures) and Phil seconded the amendment. The motion passed
unanimously. Staff was instructed to determine who the local printer is that Mr. Hammond is
going to use.
c. Report on payments of honorariums - Tudy Fabry. Judy said she has paid the honorarium
($100 per piece of sculpture) to all but one of the artists. She is still waiting for a W -9 form from
Willy Gunther, which she needs before she can request payment of his honorarium.
3. Cooperative sculpture project with Southwestern University/Ben Pierce /3M grant - Eric
Lashley. Eric said he and Judy had met with Dr. Ben Pierce of Southwestern University and
assured him that the Board was interested in the cooperative project. Ben said he thought there
would be $10,000 available but it would need to be spent by 8/31/10. He drafted an application
that called for a selection panel composed of Arts and Culture Board members, representatives
from the Parks board and administration, and Southwestern faculty and students. Eric
expressed concern that students might not be available after early May, but Ben did not seem
to be worried. Ben will consult with the panel that coordinates the grant program and will get
back with Eric.
4. TSOS sculpture show at the library - Dar Richardson Ly Fabry. Dar Richardson is the Texas
Society of Sculptors member who coordinates their public shows. He reported that the TSOS
show will be installed in the library on May 1. There are 24 artists and 50+ pieces in this year's
show. The opening reception and award of prizes will be on Sunday, May 16, from 1:00 - 3:30.
The TSOS has approximately $600 available for prizes. There was some discussion about the
awards that will be made and after soliciting opinions, Dar decided that the traditional 15t, 2nd,
3rd, with a librarian's choice and four honorable mentions should be the awards this year. He
moved that the Board contribute $1000 for prizes. Steve amended the motion to $1800, which
Mandy seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The cash awards will be $1000 for first
prize, $800 for second prize, $400 for third prize, and $200 for the librarian's choice. Kaki Bassi,
Mandy Solin, and Steve Proesel volunteered to jury the show. They will meet on May 13 at 2:00 to
make their decisions. Dar said he would send them some guidelines before that date.
5. Budget and grants in the next fiscal year - Eric Lashley. Eric went over the facility plan that City
Manager Paul Brandenburg had presented to Council last week because it included the old
library being used as either a children's library or an art center. Judy Ommen, who is president
of Georgetown Art Works, came to the meeting to address the idea of an art center in the old
library building. Her organization wants to create a downtown community center /educational
center for the arts and they believe the old library would be a suitable location. She would like
to submit a written unified proposal for using the building to Paul Brandenburg from
Georgetown Art Works, the Williamson Museum, and the library. Eric responded that he could
not participate in such a proposal unless instructed to do so by City administrators. Charles
pointed out that the City, not nonprofits, must provide the initial support for an art center in
the old library, because the City would be operating it. Ms. Ommen thanked the Board for
listening to her ideas.
Since the Board's last meeting, Eric and Charles met with Paul Brandenburg about the budget.
They reminded Paul that there is no longer a funding formula in place for the Board, so that, at
this point, there is nothing in the 2010 -11 budget for the Arts and Culture Board. Paul told
them to prepare a budget request and send it directly to him. It will not go through the usual
program request process that City departments have to use.
The Board then addressed the Budget Input survey that Laurie Brewer gave the members at
the last meeting. Each person had considered his or her own responses to the questions and
presented them to the group. Judy will compile the responses and prepare a unified response
to turn in to Finance. The bottom line for everyone was that without funding the Board can go
nowhere.
A budget subcommittee was created from volunteers: Charles, Steve, and Dar. They will meet on
April 27 to develop a proposed budget which will provide a starting place for discussion at the
May meeting. Judy will send the information from last year's budget deliberations to the
committee members before they meet.
6. Application for Cultural District Designation — Charles Aguillon. Charles referred to the
attachments about the Cultural District Designation that were included with the agenda. He
pointed out that the questions on the second sheet summarize the reasons the Board chose not
to go ahead in January with a Letter of Intent to the Texas Commission on the Arts. It had
become clear to the Board that buy -in to the idea of a Cultural District Designation from a
number of stakeholders would be necessary before an application could be considered. Among
the stakeholders would be Economic Development, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and
Main Street, but also the City Council and the City Manager. Also, a City employee would
have to agree to manage the application process, which would be lengthy. These requirements
and shortcomings became apparent during the meeting Eric and Charles had with Cari Miller
(CVB) and Shelly Hargrove (Main Street).
7. Old library facility — Eric Lashley. This topic was discussed under item 5. above.
Charles adjourned the meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Volunteers and the Texas Department of Transportation planted 1.5 billion Red Poppy seeds around Georgetown in November as part of the Red Poppy Endeavor, the brainchild of
three area real estate agents who hoped to paint the town red this year by planting poppies along the city's stretch of Interstate 35.
While various wildflowers are attracting at-
tention along area roadways, the bluebonnet
(left) still reigns supreme in Texas.

It's busting out all over
r, rowds of cars parked along state highways and babies in
spring bonnets— sitting in'bonnets for camera -wielding
parents — can only mean one thing inTexas: spring has
arrived.
Texas is home to thousands of species of wildflowers,
and the Texas Department of Transportation has made it a mission
to encourage their growth and protection since the 1930s. Today, Tx -
DOT buys and sows about 30,000 pounds of wildflower seeds every
year along major roadways throughout the state.
Experts say bluebonnets are typically the first to show up along
with Indian paintbrushes, verbenas and the pink and white "but-
tercup" variety of primroses. Georgetown's favorite, the Red Poppy
should begin blooming in mass in the coming weeks. Check out
some real beauties from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, April 11 at Our Lady of the
Rosary Cemetery, 330 Berry Lane, during its Field of Flowers event.
City board spreads .arts, culture around town
he staff at the George-
town Public Library
is proud to support
two of Georgetown's
city council -appointed
boards: the Library Advisory
Board and the Arts and Cul-
ture Board. Recently, the Arts
and Culture Board has made
two significant contributions
to the arts in our community
that deserve recognition and
thanks. The Arts and Culture
Board is unusual among coun-
cil -appointed boards in that it "
has a budget. The board used
its first appropriation, in fiscal
year 2007-2008, to purchase
Bob Coffee's Waterin'the Work
Mules bronze sculpture, which
now stands in front of council
chambers on the northeast
corner of Seventh and Main
streets. By early 2009 the board
LIBRARY
NEWS
Judy Fabry
was moving ahead with plans
for its next appropriation,
approximately $88,000, which
members proposed to use for a
piece of art for the grounds of
the just -completed Georgetown
Recreation Center. However,
the board members learned
during the early stages of
planning the budget for fiscal
year 2009-2010 that the board's
future funding was uncertain,
so they stopped work on the rec
center project. A few months .
later, in response to the worsen-
ing national economic situa-
tion, the council chose not to
appropriate any funding to the
Arts and Culture Board for the
2009-2010 fiscal year — but they
permitted the board to carry
over the previous appropria-
tion. The members of the Arts
and Culture Board then dis-
cussed at length the best way to
use their $88,000, which had to
last for at least two years. Being
in close contact with people
from many of the local arts
organizations, the members
were well aware of the finan-
cial difficulties that all of the
area nonprofits were facing.
That input helped them decide
to earmark 75 percent of their
budget for grants to local arts
nonprofits. By November they
had developed an application
process and put out the call
for applicants. In late January
2010, the board went to council
with recommendations to
fund $67,192 in grants to six
organizations: Georgetown
Festival of the Arts ($25,480),
The Palace Theater ($18,000),
the Georgetown Symphony
Society ($15,680), Friends of the
Georgetown Symphony Society
($2,250), the Williamson Mu-
seum ($4,500) and Georgetown
Art Works ($1,282). The council
unanimously approved the
expenditure and commended
the board for choosing this
path. The board members hope
that this infusion of support
will help these organizations
survive the economic down-
turn. The Arts and Culture
Board's second major accom-
plishment relates to their goal
of providing more public art
in Georgetown. Last fall they
began exploring the idea of
displaying sculptures on loan
from the artists. Working with
the Parks and Recreation Advi-
sory Board, the parks staff, and
the Texas Society of Sculptors,
the board created the infra-
structure for a rotating display
of borrowed sculptures —the
Georgetown Sculpture Tour
— that is now in place. Most of

Central Texas Sculpture Tom;
which includes the Lady Bird

the current display in George-
town came recently from the
wildflower center and from
Marble Falls. These sculptures
will remain in place for about
a year and then will move on,
either to new locations or back
to the artists' studios, depend.
ing on how long they've been
on the tour. Most of the exhibb
tors are members of the Texas
Society of Sculptors, and Dar
Richardson, a TSOS member
and Georgetown sculptor, is
the patient and hard-working
man who figures out which
sculptures will be accepted
for the tour, where they will
go and when. He became even
more involved when he joined
the Georgetown Arts and
CultBoard in February
2010. Now, besides coordinat-
ing the lending side of the
deal, he has graciously agreed
to handle the receiving side of
locating sculptures in George-

This compilation of nearly 30 years of research is a
great reminder of what it means to care about other
creatures. Renowned scientist and animal rights advocate

conventional thinking about animal care and happiness,
Ms. Grandin challenges readers to think about their pets,
not for them. The subject of a recent HBO biopic (filmed in
the Georgetown -Austin area), Ms. Grandin presents new

PUBLIC SAFETY
Iconoclasts flip bloc
Between March 22 and
April 4, the Georgetown Police
Department responded to
2,296 calls for service and 62
accidents, and made 114 arrests
and/or citations.
March 22
A 23-year-old man was
arrested at 10:30 p.m. in the
200 block of Luther Drive on
charges of public intoxication
after officers responded to a
civil disturbance call. Accord-
ing to police records, the man
was holding a case of beer and
banging on someone's door
when they arrived. Police say
he thought it was his own front
door, but it wasn't.
March 23
Two 17-year-old Liberty Hill
men and a 17-year-old George-
town woman were arrested
at 7:45 p.m. in the 400 block of
Morrow Street on charges of
theft and criminal mischief
after police responded to a
call from an off -duty City of
Georgetown employee. Accord-
ing to police records, the teens
were knocking over the new
art display of cubic blocks in
the park when officers arrived.
When police told them to pick
up the blocks, the teens made
obscene hand gestures at
them. An officer then noticed
there were only two blocks
when there should have been
three, and located the yellow
block near one of the suspect's
trucks. The approximate value
of the piece is $3,500. All three
were charged with theft and
11 criminal mischief, and one 17-
year-old man was later charged
with failure to identify, when
he gave his real name at the
Williamson County Jail. Police
say the men were also making
I jokes and singing in the back
Of the patrol car on the way to
jail.
March 24
A 19-year-old Florence wom-
an and an 18-year-old Round
Rock woman were arrested at
4:45 p.m. at the Georgetown
When police arrived, they say
the man was slumped over
the center console, drooling.
He was charged with public
intoxication.
A 46-year-old Austin man
was arrested at 11:06 p.m. in the
400 block of Morrow Street on
charges of public intoxication
after officers were dispatched
to a disturbance in the area.
When officers arrived, several
of the man's friends were pin-
ning him to the ground saying
he was out of control, accord-
ing to reports. When asked
how much he'd had to drink,
police say the man replied
"too much" and told them he
wanted to fight everybody.
March 28
A 20-year-old Temple man
was arrested at 2 a.m. in the
1200 block of Elm Street on
charges of possession of
marijuana after police pulled
him over for a traffic violation.
According to police reports, the
man had four passengers and
rolling papers tucked behind
his ear, and appeared nervous,
refusing to make eye contact.
The passengers soon admitted
there was marijuana in the
vehicle, and police found it.
The driver was charged with
possession of marijuana, less
than 2 ounces.
A 29-year-old Austin man
was arrested at 10:20 p.m. in
the 500 block of 18th Street
after police responded to
reports of an assault. Police
say the man claimed to be
assaulted by the female, but
the investigation showed he
assaulted her in front of her
six children ranging from
nine months to 11 years old.
According to reports, the
woman had opened her door
to see if the man had left,
and he pushed his way in
