<br />today, and will be reviewed by HCC, the Performing Arts Center, and the <br />City Attorney's office. . <br /> <br />Mr. Lieual'en asked at what point there would be some finalization of the <br />conference center's management structure. Mr. Kupper indicated that the <br />type of structure will not be written into the contract. Mr. Henry <br />responded that in the contract, the facility will be shared. Dick Reynolds <br />will later determine the management structure. Mr. Lieuallen noted that <br />he wanted to be notified in advance to be able to study this. He feels the <br />conference center operation is nearly as important as the operation of the <br />Performing Arts Center. Mr. Henry said he would get together with him to <br />discuss his concerns. <br /> <br />Mr. Obie stated that he has concerns in regard to public use of the <br />conference center. He is concerned that the City pay its own share; <br />there should be a transfer of funds so that one will be aware of what <br />it is actually costing. The City should be a client to the center just <br />like anyone else; if they can get cheaper space elsewhere, they should go <br />elsewhere. <br /> <br />V.
