The persons requested to be heard in the matter of an $8,000 donation
of City funds made by City Council on July 2, 1973 to the Virginia Beach
Civic Ballet, and approved on second reading on July 9, 1973, in support
of the cultural developments in the City. The City Council understood at
that time that the Virginia Beach Civic Ballet was the only non-
profit ballet group in the city; subsequently it became apparent
that there were other non-profit and profit groups operating in
the City. On July 16, 1973, pending the submission of information
in the matter, City Council, by vote, Item number 6123, instructed
the City Manager to suspend payment of the $8,000 until the matter
had been clarified.
As there was considerable heated interest in this matter, Mayor
@romwell requested direction from the Councilmen as to their
wishes in considering the problem, where upon,
Councilman Holland made a motion to limit the presentation to
ten minutes, per organization, seconded by Councilman Rhodes and
was approve by recorded vote as follows:

City Council sanctioned the reconsideration of the $8,000 grant
to the Virginia Beach Civic Ballet.
ITEM #6164 (b)
Mr. Grover C. Wright, Attorney, presented his case to the City Council
on behalf of the Virginia Beach Civic Ballet indicating the non-profit
status of the ballet and stating that he doubted that City Council
could refuse to pay the appropriation of $8,000 made on July 2, 1973,
and subsequently read on second reading on July 9, 1973, which money
had already been committed by the Virginia Beach Civic Ballet in good
faith, and that failure on the part of the City to honor its committment
would reflect upon the credence of the City. Mr. Wright was interr;LPted--
by the City Clerk, who indicated that his time limit of 5 minutes had
been reached, Mayor Cromwell sustained the interruption. Mr. Wright
protested that he needed more time, whereupon one of the other
representatives from the Virginia Beach Civic Ballet relinquished her
time of five minutes to Mr. Wright.
Mayor Cromwell permitted the exception-, Mr. Wright continued by
relating the accomplishments of the Civic Ballet and stated that
the ballet needed a place to present its programs, but had been
unable to secure the Little Theatre Building.
Mrs. Virginia Biggs of the Virginia Beach Community Ballet, employed
her time to outlining the non-profit work and contributions made by
her organization to the cultural developments of the City, and requested
equal consideration in any future City funding of non-profit groups.
Mrs. Vesta Cruser sustained Mrs. Biggs' and stated the good work
done by the group.
Mrs. Nancy McClees of the Tidewater Dance Guild, Inc. noted that
while lwr organization was titled "Tidewater" Dance Guild, Inc.
it had its offices and studios in Virginia Beach the title merely
indicated the acceptance of students from the Tidewater area.
Mrs. McClees noted that competition from a subsidized ballet group
could effect her business.
Miss Anna Smelser, representing the Riverton-on-the-Elizabeth
Company of the Performing Arts, noted that her company had
produced many outstanding artists and that competition from a
government subsidized group would be difficult to cope with in
the future, Miss Smelser requested consideration in any future
grants.
Mrs. Penelope Martin, appearing on behalf of the Little Theatre
of Virginia Beach, City Council had extended an assistance grant
to buy a theatre building. Mrs. Martin wanted to emphasize that
the Little Theatre group was operating on a business basis and
had to rent the building in order to amortize the mortgage payments,
hence could not grant the ballet group free rental.
At the conclusion of the presentation, Mayor Cromwell, again,
reiterated that the Commission on the Arts and Humanities would
be requested to give a recommendation regarding any grant to non-
profit agencies.
Mr. Wright noted that the Commission had not, as of this time, been
appointed and that they were only required to make a report once a
.year. He indicated that the Virginia Beach Civic Ballet would not
wait that long for a determination as to their eligibility. Mayor
Cromwell requested direction from the City Council.
ITEM #6164 (c)
Councilman Baum stated that the Council more or less simultaneously
took up this matter and the formation of the Fine Arts Commission
at the same time. It was discussed as to the problems Council
might have with different charitable organizations, but we've
already passed it. It seems to me Council does have a committment
to stick to our word, unless Council has some over-riding reason
to change our mind, and on that basis I move the $8,000 grant be
made to the Virginia Beach Civic Ballet, seconded by Councilman
Payne, and by recorded vote as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen John A. Baum, Robert H. Callis, Jr., Vice Mayor
F. Reid Ervin, Clarence A. Holland, D. Murray Malbon, J. Curtis Payne,
and Floyd E. Waterfield, Jr.
