METHOD FOR ACHIEVING THIS LEVEL OF USE, AND TO CONDUCT A MARKET STUDY FOR A CITY-RUN CULTURAL CENTER CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS ROLL CALL VOTE MINUTE ORDER NO. 94-065 B. MIS: LA BERGE/CLAIRE TO GRANT $12,400 OF REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO HIRE A CONSULTANT WITH EXPERTISE IN THE RESTORATION OF HISTORIC THEATRES TO COMPLETE AN ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTUAL PLAN FOR THE BUILDING. Council Members discussed the City's commitment to the Fox Theatre as a building owned by a non-profit organization, and asked for more information from PCS as to its capital improvement plans for the building. Councilman Sanfilipo stated that the City has no interest in this building and therefore should not expend funds on capital improvements. MOTION CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOICE VOTE. AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS CLAIRE, GASPARINI, GREENALCH, LA BERGE AND MA YOR BUCHAN NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS SANFILIPO AND STEINFELD MINUTE ORDER NO. 94-066 C. MIS: STEINFELD/CLAIRE TO DEFER THIS ITEM FOR A FUTURE MEETING Council members discussed if or how Redevelopment Agency funds should be spent on a building owned by a non-profit organization, including the idea of an equity interest and a reversionary clause. Councilman Greenalch suggested several steps including having PCS do its own capital improvements assessment of the Fox, and removing the designation of $300,000 for the Fox Theatre from the Redevelopment Agency budget. Councilman Claire withdrew his second, and the motion died for lack of a second. MINUTE ORDER NO. 94-067 City Manager Everett suggested that after the studies approved in 3.A and 3.B. above are completed, the results be given to the Fox Theatre Task Force and Peninsula Center Stage for their review. Working together the Task Force and PCS could then come back to the Council with a specific plan of what needed to be done to restore the Fox Theatre and what they needed from the Council to complete each task.
