He then highlighted various special events which will be sponsored by Service America. He also noted that currently there are 3 nights per week where there is no security coverage. In the proposed budget this will be rectified by increasing security from $11,330 to $18,000. He also noted that there's an addition for one full-time maintenance person for a proposed budget of $18,450. He noted that the Century Center is larger than the entire County City Building which has 12 maintenance people. Council Member Coleman questioned wether the wall hangings could be cleaned or replaced. Mr. Hedman noted that $1500 has been received from Hotel/Motel for such a project. He also stated that the hangings are 13 years old and that the original designer and manufacturer has been consulted for advice. The wall hangings were originally purchased for $57,.000. Mr. Coleman also asked wether there's a possibility of utilizing the Century Center for basketball games such as IUSB. It was noted that the floor itself would not be a problem but the bleachers may be. It was noted that Mr. Homer Drew, the former Valparaiso Basketball Coach, has cost this project some time ago. Mr. Ed Ehler, the President of The Century Center Board of Managers and former Boston Celtics Star, noted that often times when floors are placed over ice for hockey games that that does cause a problem. He also noted that the bleachers may be a problem but it would be looked into further. Mr. Hedman also noted that AV and part-time budgets have been increased. Promotional expenses have also been increased for the first time.
