John Philip Sousa Band A sub-group of commissioners provided the following draft recommendation to the commission for discussion: The John Philip Sousa Band (JPS) has provided Edina with free concerts for over 40 years. They are a part of the community and treasured by many residents. They also perform in other venues around the Twin Cities.

It is our understanding that the JPS is "sponsored" by the Edina Parks & Recreation Board: upon cursory review this sponsorship provides usage of city owned space for rehearsals and storage and occasional use of a city vehicle to transport equipment for concerts. As our commission's mission is to encourage and foster arts and culture activity in Edina, we are very interested in understanding the guidelines and parameters of this relationship so that we could explore how we might use it as a model for supporting other community arts and culture organizations. We are particularly interested in criteria used to award sponsorship, the terms and conditions of the arrangement, including venue usage and allocation of potential liabilities. This is a great opportunity for the Edina boards and commissions to learn from each other. The commission had a discussion. Motion made by Suckow to approve the statement and the recommendation that it be sent to the Parks & Recreation Commission. Motion seconded by Chandler. Motion carried. C. 2019 Fees for the Edina Art Center The commission reviewed the draft fee structure for the Art Center in 2019. Motion made by Suckow to approve the fees. Motion seconded by Isaacs. Motion carried.
