There was a discussion about the Governor portraits.  Ms. Oliveto indicated that the Governor's office typically provides funding for these portraits.   Ms. Chapman discussed the committee Criteria and Procedures which outline the process for the portraits of the presidents of the United States and portraits of the governor's of Colorado. Ms. Chapman pointed out that the Criteria and Procedures indicate where the portraits will hang and the party responsible for the purchase of the portraits.

02:46:21 PM  
Ms. Chapman shared
that the presidential portraits were donated as a set, with the committee
perhaps not forseeing a need for funds.  Georgianna Contiguglia indicated
that there was no policy related to the portraits.  She indicate that
the addition of portraits to the collection started with the Clinton Library
providing his portrait.  She indicated that when other portraits were
added private fundraising was pursued because the state budget picture
was not good.  Ms. Contiguglia said that at that time there was no
discussion about state funds.
