Pacific Chamber Orchestra — Holiday Concert Commissioner Brunner commented on the extremely low Olympic Average number for this project and was unsure if the agency would be able to provide the concert with such low funding. Chairperson Song requested Mr. Kohl from PCO come back to the meeting for questions. Commissioner Biaocchi indicated he was concerned about the low funding amount being recommended for this agency and asked about the Olympic Average. Ms. Prater provided details on how information is gathered and what commissioners had indicated in their ZoomGrant reviews. She noted that only two commissioners had voted to approve funding this project, so the initial vote is a starting point, but the commission decision is still open to discussion. Commissioner Biaocchi was advised by Mr. Kohl that PCO would not be able to provide the program without receiving funding. He suggested that certain funds being allocated for PCO programs could be moved around but that funding of at least $5,000 would be needed for them to provide both the School Assembly and Holiday Concert programs and at least $4,000 for the Discover Music Assembly program. The expenses for the concert programs cover the price of the orchestra, four soloists and a chorus, and the ticket sales cover only 30% of the expenses. Chairperson Song recommended that funding could be moved from the Discover Music program to the concerts. Ms. Bushong requested that the commission discuss movement of funding once the grant candidates are no longer in the meeting for comment.
