Budget Hearing Report <br /> Personnel and Finance Committee <br /> September 21, 1995 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Cleo Hickey then reviewed the line item budget information and the performance <br /> based budget information. She noted that she took over in January of this year and is <br /> suggesting several changes and reorganization with reassignment of responsibilities. She <br /> noted the need for more auditing of operations especially the box office operations. They <br /> have reached a 3.7 million dollar pledge mark,with$750,000 being received to date. She <br /> noted that there are between 72 to 86 events annually,with the South Bend Symphony and <br /> the Broadway Theatre League being the two main users. In response to a question raised <br /> by President Ladewski, it was noted that the classic movie events have been eliminated in <br /> light of the fact that the program was not breaking even. In response to a question raised <br /> by Council Member Luecke, it was noted that 100 annual events would be the maximum <br /> before restoration and that 120 would be the maximum after restoration,based on the study <br /> conducted for the Morris. Attendance is projected at approximately 102,000 in 1995 which <br /> 1995 revenues <br /> were with <br /> does not include lobby $ 134 793.91, <br /> d y events. Revenues in 1994 we <br /> being projected at$ 171,052. <br /> Council Member Zakrzewski voiced concern about the box office not being open <br /> during the lunch hour. Ms Hickey noted that she is looking into that, and that typically <br /> three days prior to an event, the box office is open during those hours. She also noted that <br /> the City is looking into voice mail which would have a detailed menu available on a 24- <br /> hour basis. Mr. Rinard noted that the City has purchased such a system from Ameritech. <br /> Mr. Hedman also voiced support for the 24-hour voice mail especially since the Morris <br /> Civic has taken over the Century Center ticket operations. A customer survey will also be <br /> instituted. <br /> Council Member Luecke voiced concern over the fire escape situation, and Ms. <br /> Hickey noted that that will be addressed soon. Council Member Luecke thanked Ms. <br /> Hickey for her presentation and handouts (copy attached). It was also noted that recently <br /> the leases with various tenants have been re-negotiated. Revenues and such leases are <br /> j• administered through Redevelopment. <br /> Football Hall of Fame 1995 Budget: <br /> Mr. Bernie Kish then reviewed the proposed 1995 budget information. He noted <br /> that he began working on April 17, 1995. He then reviewed various handouts (copy <br /> attached). There have been 17,000 visitors through the Hall of Fame since it opened in <br /> August. Currently more adults and senior citizens have visited that Hall than children and <br /> students. From September through December of 1995, they have received approximately <br /> 60 requests for bookings of the Press Box and Gridiron. Sales in the Follett Store are <br /> approximately $ 80,000.00 to date. Burger King is averaging $500 to $600 per day, with <br /> needed daily projections being $1,000.00, thus additional promotion in this area is <br /> necessary for that number to be met. There will be a special event this Saturday for the <br /> Notre Dame-Texas football game. For $10.00 a person can watch the game on a big- <br /> screen television, receive a Burger King lunch and have a chance to win an autographed <br /> football. <br /> Mr. Kish noted that he has deferred hiring for two (2) positions. The Hall has <br /> approximately 100 volunteers who have put in over 1,500 hours to date.
