Louis Janson, Lonnie Kawamura and John Ondov, of the Minnesota State Arts Council, discuss how the council would administer and manage potential funding from the Legislature of three and a half million dollars. They recommend creating a system of seven regional offices across the state with the major thrust being to serve outstate communities. They justify the administrative expenses by saying a structure is needed to get the funds to the local artists, and full-time staff is needed rather than relying on volunteer help.
