(1123) <br /> Introduced by Council Member Perry, who moved its adoption, seconded by <br /> Council Member Corbett, and carried by the following called vote: <br /> AYES: Council Members Corbett, Faria, Kerr, Myers, Perry, <br /> Polvorosa; ( 6 ) <br /> NOES: None ( 0 ) <br /> ABSENT: Mayor Karp ( 1 ) <br /> B. Matter of Request from Classical Philharmonic Orchestra for $5,000 <br /> Grant in Fiscal Year 1992-93. <br /> Attachment: Letter from the Recreation and Parks Commission <br /> recommending approval of the grant request. <br /> Jack Goodrich, Dick Lind, and Gordon Weaver, Treasurer of the <br /> Orchestra, addressed the City Council . <br /> Council Member Perry referred to the letter dated December 17, 1992, <br /> from the Orchestra, which indicates only 20% of the costs are covered <br /> by ticket sales. She said that seemed low and asked why. Mr. Lind <br /> said 20% is the average for all non-profit music organizations. <br /> Council Member Perry asked whether other cities were asked for funding. <br /> Mr. Lind said none were asked at the time of the report. <br /> Council Member Perry said personnel costs indicated $6,000 for the <br /> Music and Executive Director, and it appeared he was making $18,000 a <br /> year. Mr. Lind pointed out that the Director was supposed to receive <br /> $3,000, but the group has been unable to pay him. <br /> Council Member Perry asked how many musicians performed on average. <br /> Mr. Lind said there are 20-40, depending upon the performance; and it <br /> costs $10,000-12,000 per performance, including rehearsals, programs, <br /> etc. <br /> Council Member Myers said it appeared there were no funds from Hayward <br /> or Alameda County this year. Mr. Lind said that was correct; there <br /> were also none last year. Mr. Lind said this is the first year the <br /> Orchestra has gone out into the Tri-Valley area and put on performances <br /> and the first time they felt it was appropriate to contact cities in <br /> those areas to ask for assistance with funding. <br />
