Mr. Martin explained that the Century Center Board of Managers passed a motion at their last meeting approving the proposed expenditure, They have selected the architectural firm of Woollen,Molzan and Partners of Indianapolis to do the plan. They were selected because of their invovlement fifteen years ago regarding a report on the Morris Civic and the Palais Royale in 1969, for their restoration of the Indiana Theater, and for their reputation Of renovating halls which accentuate performance aspects and historical aspects of buildings. He also noted that money from the Indiana Arts Council, various trust proceeds -and private donations are also being used. Councilman Paszek questioned whether there may be a conflict of interest since the local architect James Childs was also the co-owner of the Palais Royale along with Bruce Bancroft. Mr. Martin noted that Mr. Childs would be working directly for the Century Center Board.
