SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Appointment Process for Two (2) Community Representatives to Assist the University in Planning and Programming the Arts Common
DATE: November 26, 2001
Adoption of the attached resolution would authorize an advertisement, application, and appointment process for the Council to name two community representatives to assist the University in planning and programming of the new Arts Common on campus.
A letter from Chancellor James Moeser is attached, which explains that the University will request approval from the Board of Trustees on November 15 to hire an architect for the programming of the Arts Common. The Common, which is an area between Franklin Street and Cameron Avenue, will be the potential expansion site of the Ackland Art Museum and new facilities for Music, Communication Studies, and added underground parking.
I appreciate the Chancellor’s invitation to appoint two community members to such a group, and request that the Council adopt the attached resolution.
