Sc~cral months ago the Redevelopment

approval to move ahead ~~-ith a bond to pay
for needed impro~~cments. 'I~hat bond ~~~ill
cover such items as a new bvila~ and chiller,
skylight stabilization.. tine and security alarm
services. bathroom renovation, and repairs to
Island Park. Those improvements ~~~ill keep
the core of Centiny Center strong. but they
~~~ill have little visible impact in the
do~~mto~~~n.
As a part of the same improvement planning
process, plans ~werc de~~cloped t~~r exterior
enhancements to the front of Century Center.
including the i~illo~~ing: ^uwing Ccnturv

pedestrian safety and extend the green space:
close the circle cntrancc drip-c in favor of
pedestrian walk~~~ays and a smaller. handicap
accessible drop-off under the Cenhuy Center
canopy; create space for up to six sculpture
displays. including a tbcal point of the
terminus of Washington Strcct: add nc~i~
stairs to the north end of the facility to more
directly connect to the river ~a~alk and Island
Park and create a small plain north of
Century Center o~°erlooking Island Park and
the St..Ioseph River. These improvements
not only benefit Ccnturv Center. but also the
Regional Museum of Art and the dowmto~~~n.
The Sculpture Garden will be a significant
addition to the museum. which the ~~'holc
community can enjoy. The do~~~nto~~~n

Century Center ~y~ill create an environment
ti~hich supports not only the recent
developments which are underway. but also
increases the likelihood That we will see

Statt recommends funding these

Vls. Visscrpointed out on a rendering the

Mr. Varner expressed his sense that the
Commission is point? about this iii a
piecemeal manner. He believes we arc
accumulating some healthy dollars in this
~fll~ district. 1 Ie~d rather sec this done as part
of the bond issue t~~r Century C l rater, to be
paid off over ten years, rather than pay out a
million dollm~s this year. These are capita]
improvements that ha~~e a life span often to
twenty years. He said he «~ould e~~entually

the budgets and thought we had the cash
a~~ailability this year to take on this project.
The funding for this is the remaining
proceeds from the 2003 do~n~nto~~~n bond. In
effect. these improvements ~~~ill become part
of a bond payment over a period of time.

Mr. Do~~~nes and unanimously carried. the
