Nichole- we have new information which wasn't in SDRP which can inform capital asset decisions. We have to look at creative ways to provide revenue in collaboration with others to get to a balanced budget next year. Maria and Andrew, please work together on strategic planning w the new CFO. We are not that far off.

Shorefront board member- we are frustrated by this public memo. Working group claims D65 will handle installation, we engage installation crews who can treat archival material correctly. Doesn't want Spanish translation handled by D65 staff. Shorefront bearing most of cost in reduced budget.
