MUSIC IN THE PLAZA (MIP):
A. AUTHORIZE INCREASES OF $2,420 TO THE MIP REVENUE AND EXPENSE
BUDGETS (8050-48730 AND 8050-72115) FUNDED FROM DONATIONS (DEPOSIT
ACCOUNT 100-26220);
B. ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISED MIP GUIDELINES; AND
C. AUTHORIZE THE ARTS COMMISSION TO SOLICIT DONATIONS FOR MEP.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize increases of $2,420 to the MIP revenue and expense budgets (8050-48730 and 8050-72115) funded
from donations (Deposit Account 100-26220);
2. Adopt resolution approving revised MIP Guidelines included as Attachment 1; and
3. Authorize the Arts Commission to solicit donations for Music in the Plaza.
BACKGROUND:
Music in the Plaza (MIP) is a summer series of free concerts held in Town Plaza Park on Sunday afternoons.
Coordinated jointly by the Town of Los Gatos Arts Commission and Community Services Department, MIP is an
extremely popular event which has enriched the community and added vitality to the downtown area since 1988. While
the Town has contributed fmancially to MIP in the past through the allocation of community grants, the Arts Commission
and other volunteers have raised most of the required funding through community contributions.
The 1997 MIP concert series was extremely successful, with at least 500 people attending each concert. Musical
offerings varied from gospel and bluegrass to opera and rock. A special July 4th concert held at Los Gatos High School
once again featured the San Jose Wind Symphony. The quality of all performances was exceptional and very well
received. In addition, local businesses and individuals were extremely generous in supporting MIP through
contributions.
DISCUSSION:
MIP Guidelines_ MIP Guidelines were adopted by Council several years ago so that the critical tasks and responsibilities
of the Community Services Department and Arts Commission in producing MIP would be identified. They are
occasionally revised to reflect program refinements. This year, it is recommended they be revised to:
1. Identify staffs responsibility for program coordination. Given the importance of MIP to the community, its
ever increasing popularity, and the very positive image it conveys of the Town and Arts Commission, MIP must
be well planned and well executed. The Arts Commission and Community Services Department have worked
effectively in the past to produce MIP, but not without some frustration. For example, in the midst of planning
the 1997 MIP- program, several Arts Commissioners on the MIP Subcommittee resigned, leaving staff and one
other Commissioner to produce MIP (fortunately, others volunteered to help out). Staffs role in coordinating
MIP should provide much needed continuity to annual MIP production.

2. Shift some functions back to staff, including the design and production of promotional materials so the Arts
Commission may concentrate on fundraising and the selection and scheduling of musical performers.
The following table highlights the responsibilities of the Community Services Department and Arts Commission in
producing MIP:
TOWN OF LOS GATOS
ARTS COMMISSION
1. Provide use of Town Plaza Park from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for up
to ten concerts (June -August).
2. For each concert, provide crew to: 1) transport, assemble,
disassemble, and remove stage; 2) deliver a minimum of 15 chairs
to Plaza Park, and 3) clean up Plaza Park.
3. Execute contracts with musical performers, sound technicians, and
other vendors.
4. Monitor insurance and Business License requirements.
5. Record donations and expenses.
6. Coordinate presentation of Commendations to Major Sponsors by
Council; issue "thank you" letters to other contributors.
7. Produce MIP posters, programs, and other promotional materials.
1. Implement appropriate fundraising strategies.
2. Coordinate Call -for -Entry processes; select and
schedule musical performers.
3. Attend and host MIP concerts; distribute programs
and inserts at concerts.
4. Enlist the help of volunteers in the production of
MIP concerts.
5. Assist in producing MIP posters, programs,
postcards and other promotional materials.
6. Assist with distribution of promotional materials.
The 1998 MIP Program:
1. For the 1998 MIP Program, the Community Services Department and Arts Commission will:
a) offer a varied and professional musical program, including bluegrass, country, opera, rock,
contemporary pop, r&b, reggae, soul, jazz, etc;
b) work with the San Jose Wind Symphony and Los Gatos High School to produce a special July 4th
concert to be held on the front lawn of Los Gatos High School; and
c) produce eleven concerts, starting June 21, 1998 and ending August 30, 1998 (it is proposed that a
regular Sunday concert not be held following the special July 4th concert, which falls on a Saturday).
2. The estimated expense for each 1998 MIP concert is $1,170 , including performance, sound, stage set-up and
removal, and park clean-up costs. Approximately $1,100 will also be spent (before the concerts start) on poster
production and other promotional materials.
3. Funds contributed to the 1997 MIP program were deposited to account 100-26220. A total of $4,504.97
remains in the deposit account after payment of all 1997 MIP expenses. It is recommended that a portion of
these funds be transferred to 8050-48730 to fund 1998 MIP concerts held in FY 97/98.
4. In keeping with the intent to maintain MIP as a "community and collaborative" event, and because Town
businesses have traditionally demonstrated a strong commitment to MIP through generous donations, the Arts
Commission will seek community contributions to fund: a) the 1998 MIP concerts scheduled from July 4
through August 30, 1998, and; b) initial 1999 MIP program expenses. This report seeks authorization for the
Commission to solicit donations.
5. To safeguard MIP and ensure the production of a full concert series, this report also asks Council to consider
designating general funds for MIP expenses in the event sufficient funds cannot be raised. As such, the Town's
annual FY 98/99 Operating Budget will include funding for MIP. Sources of revenue will be community
contributions, or general funds in the event sufficient community contributions cannot be raised.

A. AUTHORIZE INCREASES OF $2,420 TO THE MIP REVENUE AND EXPENSE BUDGETS
(8050-48730 AND 8050-72115) FUNDED FROM DONATIONS (DEP. ACCT 100-26220);
B. ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISED MIP GUIDELINES; AND
C. AUTHORIZE THE ARTS COMMISSION TO SOLICIT DONATIONS FOR MIP.
November 12, 1997
6. In the past, several performers have donated their musical program to MIP, while others demanded a payment
of as much as $1,100. Season to season, it is difficult to predict who can donate concerts and which costs might
increase. Staff and the Arts Commission will work to contain 1998 MIP program costs by contracting with
performers who can provide their own sound services or offer "no -cost" performances.
CONCLUSION:
To safeguard the successful production of Music in the Plaza, it is proposed that:
1) The Town will fund MIP to the extent sufficient funds cannot be raised to meet program expenses (funding
to be authorized via the Town's Annual Operating Budget);
2) A shift occur in the responsibilities of staff and the Arts Commission in producing MIP (per attached
Guidelines); and
3) Donations continue to be solicited from Town businesses and residents in order to maintain the "community
and collaborative sense" of MIP.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS:
This project is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Authorize budget transfers for the first two 1998 MIP concerts (June 21 and 28, 1998) occurring in FY 97/98, funded
by a transfer from the MIP Deposit Account (100-26220) as follows:
