Written Communications
Dublin resident, David Kriozere, presented correspondence suggesting a new program for the City of Dublin,
JazzMasters Workshop. As described in his letter, JazzMasters Workshop provides free jazz music ensemble
performance and mentoring for children by jazz professionals. Mr. Kriozere suggests that the City take the lead in
the organization of this program and contact the Dublin Unified School District regarding co-sponsorship of the
program.
Cm. Lussie asked Kriozere if he had researched funding and location issues regarding implementation of this
program. Kriozere stated the program would cost about $1,200 per month to run and he thought that possibly it
could be funded on a 50-50basis between the City of Dublin and Dublin Unified School District. Kriozere stated
that possible alternate funding could be done by fundraising or individual and corporate donations. Kriozere felt
that the Heritage Center or the Shannon Community Center might be possible locations for a summer program.
Cm. Lussie asked Kriozere if he had talked to any clubs or other organizations about fundraising for this program.
Kriozere stated although he has not visited any other organizations, he has talked about this program with many
other parents who were very interested in seeing this program implemented.
Cm. Acuff asked if he had talked to Los Positas College as they have a choral jazz group that would be great
resource. Kriozere answered no.
Cm. Muetterties asked if all performance and age levels would play together. Kriozere stated that they are able to
blend all play levels and ages into one performance.
Cm. Muetterties asked Lowart if this program was in line with the Parks and Recreation Goals and Objectives.
Lowart stated that,this program certainly fell under the cultural arts umbrella but would need to be added to the
goals and objectives for 2004-05 and funds included in the budget.
Cm. Mack stated that a JazzMaster concert would fall in well with the Summer Concert Series the City holds each
year. Cm. Lussie wanted to make sure that the artists were compensated for their performance and did not work
for free. Whether the fees be raised from ticket sales or public and private donations.
