Councilmember Reed requested that the record reflect that her
reservations were the same as stated at the meeting of June 1,
1982, that though she supported an arts commission which is a
private, non-prOfit entity that perhaps gets its start-up funds
from the City, but which is not an entity attached to the City, she
did not think that the arts generally benefit from direct
involvement by politicians in the political process. She thought
that they benefit more when there's a hands-off kind of situation,
and for that reason did not support this structure.
