<br />Charlotte Severin, 4512 Mirador Drive, Chair of the Task Force, which <br />unanimously voted to take this project as a whole and not piecemeal it. She was <br />excited about the support from Council and the Civic Arts Commission and hoped to <br />keep this a whole plan. She was confident the funding would be raised and urged <br />Council to proceed quickly. <br /> <br />There were no further speakers from the public. <br /> <br />4. NEXT STEPS AND MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL OR COMMISSION <br /> <br />Holly Nelson said she joined the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council (PCAC) <br />several years ago because she was aware of the fund raising that would be necessary <br />for the Firehouse and wanted to contribute her skills to that effort. She supports the arts <br />even though she is not an artist. They have been waiting to find out just how much <br />money would be necessary for the project. That figure is now known and the <br />Foundation is in place to continue raising funds for this great project. <br /> <br />Margene Gerton-Rivara said this project has been unanimously approved by the <br />Civic Arts Commission. She hoped the project could be built in its entirety and believed <br />all the arts groups in Pleasanton were enthusiastic about the project and fully supported <br />it. She has been working on this project for four and a half years, but fundraising could <br />not begin until the numbers were known. <br /> <br />Tegan McLane said she has known since she was a teenager that the <br />community needed a nice theater. She works for the City of Sunnyvale and runs a <br />theater about the same size as proposed for Pleasanton. From a regional perspective, <br />there is a need beyond Pleasanton for a theater like this. Sunnyvale has a 200-seat <br />theater and there are only two other theaters in the South Bay down from San Francisco <br />that are the same size. The Sunnyvale Theater is very busy, with two resident <br />companies. There are often two productions a day, with the youth theater performing in <br />the morning and another company in the evening. The need for this type of a facility is <br />enormous throughout the Bay Area. She was very pleased the City of Pleasanton was <br />considering it. <br /> <br />Jo Molz she appreciated arts of all kinds and thought this project was wonderful. <br /> <br />Nancy Scotto said she also grew up in Pleasanton and participated in arts <br />programs. As she is raising her own children, she noted there is a lack of arts <br />programming. She teaches ceramics at Foothill High School and felt the benefits to the <br />community from this project were huge. This is in line with the Youth Master Plan and <br />others and fills many voids for the community. She did not want the project to be built in <br />stages. She noted after students leave high school, they have no local programming for <br />arts and most must go to Concord. <br /> <br />Joint Workshop <br />City CouncillCivic Arts Commission <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />09/06/05 <br />
