The most contentious debate of the meeting surrounded the Harvard Concert Commission-a group under CLC's jurisdiction.
Gusmorino and Council Vice-President Sujean S. Lee `03, among others, wanted to issue the commission a block grant of $15,000 at the outset of the year to allow the commission the "convenience and security" necessary to organize a concert.
This figure was predicated on the idea that the commission would throw three events next year.
Ultimately, members of the Ad-Hoc Committee voted to allocate funds on a concert-by-concert basis, though a number of council members questioned the plausibility of having three concerts next year and expressed concern over losing accountability for council money.
Gusmorino said the meeting was a success.
"This is good because it's important that we start planning on a year-long basis," he said.
