It was moved by Darlene Solberg and seconded by Nancy Gongoll to adopt a resolution <br /> supporting the Community Family & Arts Center (see attached). In the discussion,it was noted <br /> that there is a large base of volunteers involved in the project and that the Handke project is <br /> regional in scope. The Community Education and ECFE programs need a permanent home. A <br /> referendum for a new elementary school will need to pass. Handke is especially important to the <br /> area in its historical significance. Handke is no longer in step with current elementary <br /> facilities...the Family & Art Center would be a better use. It would be a good continuing long <br /> term use of the facility. It is close to the current downtown area and would be an asset in the <br /> redevelopment of the downtown. The resolution was passed. <br /> It was agreed to request a meeting with the original Operation ER Team to request their support <br /> and commit the balance of their funds to the project. Betty Zehringer will convene a meeting <br /> next month. <br /> The next steps identified were to: <br /> • Con0ene the Operation ER Team to adopt the resolution <br /> • Invite other organizations to adopt the resolution <br /> • Hold one on one meetings with stake holders <br /> • Involve a strategist, possibly from the Initiative Foundation <br /> • Contact ArtSpace to explore their services <br /> • <br /> The next meeting will be held Thursday, November 14 (changed to November 21) at Handke <br /> School. <br /> The meeting adjourned at approximately 5:30 p.m. <br />
