5.1. Joint Meeting of Cultural Arts and Special Events with Council
ACTION/DIRECTION: Mayor Smith Hymes wanted to give a big shout out to Danita Dempsey for the
excellent packet materials. Eric Heil presented options A and B and explained it is not an either/or
choice but anything in between and no one will know what will be possible next year and it’s all
dependent on the public health orders. Council was asked for comments and what chairperson Lisa
Mattis heard is "if it’s safe to do so, then option B" and "need to know decision cut off dates". Mayor
Smith Hymes asked to move Town Clean-up Day away from memorial weekend and thought we should
think of pop-up music in other places instead of just the Main Street Mall. Lastly, she wants to be more
conservative/realistic about revenue targets and sponsorship dollars. Another comment was
"scalability/adaptability is key and it's easier to scale down than to scale up". Several councilors
expressed concern about the ticketed event and expenses for that. Mayor Pro Tem Phillips also asked to
scale back Salute to the USA until we know what winter tax revenues for the town look like.
Mr. Barry Robinson made a comment, he has an idea to support young kids in the valley that are
musicians to play 15/20 minutes on the stage as some pop-up music to give them some experience.
Eric wrapped up the discussion saying he heard consensus we will present option B without the
expense/revenue of the Heart & Soul festival proposal. The idea for this ticketed festival deserves
continued discussion with the new council in the new year.
