He is creating a list of stakeholders and plans to hold a meeting in mid-February. The group will review the priorities and reach out to others to help move the priorities forward. Jennifer Davis Hayes presented the Arts&Culture Master Plan to the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center Advisory Group and they were very interested in being involved. If Commissioners have ideas on other people who might be interested in being a stakeholder please submit their names to Jennifer Davis Hayes. Arts Center: Next steps are to create a list of possible facilities and possible programs and identify members of a leadership committee for advancing the master plan and research local arts centers to get some ground work information. The next steering committee will help figure out RMAC's role. Denise �r.r+ ,"�' Renton Municipal Arts Commission Minutes Page 3 of 3 December 7,2010 Zullig mentioned looking toward a business model that would help the Commission to stand alone and be sustainable. The Commission worked together to review the Arts Commission ordinance to see where each of them would connect within the master plan. They went through each item on the action item list and categorized them on the master plan. Peter Hartley stated we should identify groups for matching funds. When we're recruiting new people, we should look at the projects we have such as the Arts Center and find people who have the skills or connections to help make them happen. He suggests that we take time to review the work we've done this evening and identify which projects we want to move ahead. Jennifer Davis Hayes suggested that she send an e-mail out to all volunteers identified through the Master Plan process. The current leads of the master plan groups should send suggestions for specific language regarding"asks"for this group.
