Revenues for this Fund are generated from a 2% surcharge assessed on all services provided in connection with the use and rental of Palais Royale facilities. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 9706-06, the Palais Royale Historic Preservation Fund shall be used for the sole purpose of assisting with the continued historic preservation, maintenance, and repair of the Palais Royale building and related facilities, and I hereby request funds to be released to make said repairs to the historic exterior stone work and reseal areas around the existing windows on the exterior of the building. The amount of $8,000 is hereby requested for appropriation. The purpose for which the Morris Performing Arts Center desires appropriations consists of the following: $8,000 Repairs to the historic stone work on the exterior of the Palais Royale building, and to reseal areas around existing windows, and to repair interior wall damage that was caused by water seeping into the building from around exterior historic stone work. The Morris Performing Arts Center Administration requests the Council's approval of this Ordinance that will benefit the City and its citizens by maintaining and protecting their vested interest in the historic building structure.
