Commissioner McKee said he would like to keep the Orange County Schools informed <br /> as they move forward with the public meeting since they have expressed an interest in the <br /> sharing this meeting space. <br /> Frank Clifton said there were elements of the original proposed plan for the cultural <br /> center that did not work and were not financially feasible. He said that it would work as a facility <br /> for special events, but would not work for a revenue generating space. He said that the cultural <br /> center has said that they would appreciate what is available in the current plans. <br /> Margaret Hauth said the operational agreement will be the key element for everyone and <br /> this will need to be a fluid process. She said that, considering the goal of growing a base, there <br /> will need to be a clear understanding up front, of what threshold will be set for the cultural center <br /> finding a new home. She suggested for the public meeting, instead of full board participation, <br /> they just have quorums of the boards or a sub-committee. <br /> Chair Jacobs suggested for the staffs to propose some dates for this public meeting and <br /> to remember that no one had made any decisions at all at this point. He said there will be a <br /> public meeting of all parties and the School Board should be kept in the loop as well. He <br /> encouraged cultural board members present that if there are updated plans for the cultural <br /> center, it would be good to present those to the county and the town at the upcoming meeting. <br /> 8.
