Dr. Pam Anglin, President of PJC, stated they have completed a twenty year master plan, and the stadium is in it. The have no plans of demolishing the structure. The college will not have any use for the stadium other than graduation and other events and would like Paris ISO to renovate and continue using it on a long-term basis. The Regents could look at an agreement with PISD to reduce costs for them. Arvin Starrett asked what the thoughts of the Regents were about having landmark status, and Dr. Anglin stated they are concerned about a designation that might increase the cost of renovation to PI SO if they do work out an agreement for them to use the stadium. Chairman Starrett asked that the Board of Regents look at other historically significant buildings on campus to help maintain them in an appropriate manner in the future. No action was taken. 1'".. ,.
