As you recall, the Committee recommended the establish- <br />ment of a "Civic Arts Program". The Committee in their report pre- <br />sented their outline for the implementation of the program (see <br /> ttache&). <br /> <br />City Council upon receipt of the Committee's recommendations <br />eferred the proposal to the City's Museum and Fine Arts Commission <br />for their review and study. A subcommittee of ~he Commission recom <br />manded that the Museum and Fine Arts Commission be the lead agency <br />because Qf their standing in the community and their mandated char <br />~y Council to promote the arts. Mr. Gregory M. Pomije, Chairman of <br />.he Portsmouth Museum and Fine Arts Commission, has informed me that <br />he Commission at its September meeting voted to endorse the proposa <br />~s presented by Dr. Benjamin W. Foster, Jr., Subcommitte Chairman. <br />According to Chairman Pomije, the Subcommittee, over the past ei <br />months, has received considerable amount of correspondence and <br />from the public regarding the Fercentage fo~ the Arts ~oncept. It <br />;hould be noted that some individuals were of the opinmOn that the <br />~ommission should be appointed By City Council. The City's ~useum <br />~nd Fine Arts Commission considered these comments but believe that <br />~he Museum and Fine Arts Commission is the best body to take the <br />lead in administering this project. <br /> <br /> Should City Council support the recommendations of ~he Commis- <br />sion, an appropriation in the amount of $100,000 would be required <br />from the City's Capital Improvement Budget." <br /> <br /> Gregory M. Pomije, 427 London Boulevard, Chairman <br />Portsmouth Museum and Fine Arts Commission, presented <br />resolution from the Museum and Fine Arts Commission: <br /> <br /> of the <br />the following <br /> <br /> "BE IT RESOLVED that the Museum and Fine Arts Commission <br />establish a -Percentage For Arts" committee. This committee will <br />be empowered by the City Council under the auspices of the Museum <br />Fine A~ts Commission to seek out works of art for public display to <br />be purchased by the city, consistent with the City Council-approved <br />"Percentage For The Arts" program.
