In response to a question raised by Council Member Ladewski, it was noted that the season has not been shortened. Council Member Coleman noted that the fund raising is currently in the"leadership phase". The public phase should begin early next spring. Mr. Horton noted in response to Mr. Eagan,s question that the Football Hall of Fame fund raising is primarily outside of our community, whereas the Morris Civic Restoration Project is primarily within the community.

It was noted that more than 50% of the users are outside of the city limits and that leveraging of dollars is being considered. Mr. Balsbaugh highlighted several upcoming events which include the Rockets, John Denver in December and Kenny G in September. It was noted by Elizabeth Rowell that the Century Center Board over sees the Morris Civic. Council Member Coleman also noted that the Entertainment District Board is primarily the Oversight Committee for the fund raising drive. Mr. Horton noted that there were no comments by the State Board of Accounts which is a compliment to the Morris Civic.
