ITEM 6-FOX THEATER UPDATE Corinne Centeno spoke about the Architectural Report and the Fox Theater Task Force. She explained that the Task Force agreed at their last meeting that their work needs to come to closure. They have recommended that the $30,000.00 grant to the Fox needs to be reviewed by the City Council based on the previous year's budget. A marketing study and an architectural study have been done and both reports need to be formulated into reports for the City Council. The Task Force had a very wide-spread discussion about the $15,000 grant and it was finally decided to stay with the status-quo, which means the $15,000 goes to the Fox and the leftover can be used by the Civic Cultural Commission. T'he architectural study is a grand plan and the study needs to be brought into a more realistic approach and there are some concerns on scoping down the project due to the costs involved. The Task Force would like to hold a public meeting on March 29 or April 12 at the Fox Theater and the architect would make a presentation. All information from the meeting would be presented in a report to the City Council. Chairperson Filippi felt the Commission has done a great job with the $15,000.00 for the Fox Theater Grant Program but does not like the fact that the Commission has to put the entire funding into one venue. He stated he was concerned about protocol and policy regarding this matter. Commissioner Ball felt the program should remain as is but there should be a review of the program in 1996 to make changes.
