Mayor Lam explained that the City Manager, the Mayor, and a
Council Member have been meeting regularly with County
officials, taking a look at the downtown area. The first action
they feel is needed is for study of a multi-purpose events
center. A committee was created today at the County. There are
no pre-determined needs and decisions of the Committee, and they
will start at Base One.
Mr. Berzina commented that one of the real keys is that
both City and County have felt the need for this type of center.
The County has placed on their resolution a life of 90 days for
this committee, stressing fast action. They also would like the
mayors of Burkburnett, Iowa Park, and Electra to be ex-officio
members, and come and hear these proceedings.
Councilors Martin and Thompson spoke in favor of this
committee, stating that citizens will have a big hand in making
these decisions.
