Discussion Items Maginnis provided details of the proposal to create an arts district in the North Boulder neighborhood.

Ravenwood noted the need for an alternative scoring method for the Arts in Education, and Mini-grant proposals to be reviewed through the remainder of the year. The commission discussed this issue and agreed to set a scoring thresh-hold of 3.0 for funding of these categories. Adiournment The meeting was adjourned at 7:33 p.m. t- ~ l2f aLG Signature Date
