<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Artexia - Purchasing of the Grand Theatre oil painting <br /> Paris Winery - $5 for each wine bottle that was sold by the Paris winery with a label of <br /> the Grand Theatre oil painting <br /> <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION ON GRAND THEATRE PROGRESS - Kim Lacey & Paul Denney <br /> <br /> Grants have been received for the Grand Theater - $15,000 architectural rendering and <br /> descriptions for the Fagade improvements. <br /> <br /> The Grand Theater also received $200,000 Brownfield grand to clean up all the <br /> hazardous waste that is in the Theatre. Using an architect to clean up so that they will <br /> remove only what needs to be removed and not remove historic aspects of the building. <br /> Denney will go in and do a historical inventory to see what all needs to stay intact and <br /> things that needs to be removed. Some wall murals with lead based paint is an example <br /> of things they don't want to remove. Concrete plan needs to be made in order to know <br /> what to do next. <br /> Hoblitzelle name has been associated with the grand and there is a foundation for them so <br /> there are more grants available with them. <br /> A plan for the Grand is going to be the next step to see what needs to be done. <br /> There are very few grants through the state and you can get more through the searchable <br /> database of non-profits to try and find more grants. <br /> <br /> Paul - Paul found a scrapbook from the Aikin Library that has a history on the Grand. <br /> The Grand was located basically where it is now before the 1916 fire. Just after the fire it <br /> was rebuilt and a new marquee was put in and opened around Christmas in 1916. In the <br /> 20's theatres were made flashier but in the time when the Grand was built it was very <br /> plan. The 20's were when the Plaza theatre was remolded to look the way it does now. <br /> Porcelain enamel colored was added and has held up fairly well to so many years of sun. <br /> Paul thinks this could be replaced reasonably since there is just a small amount of it on <br /> the front. <br /> Most of the building is concrete frame and construction so if we can keep the roof taken <br /> care of the building should not decay to much further and can be restored to be usable <br /> Wyatt asked what it would be useable for? <br /> Paul suggested a performing arts building or something to that effect. And suggested a <br /> committee being formed and going and talking to other theaters about what has worked <br /> for them. And moving the Main Street office into the theatre. That building means to <br /> much to many people to let it continue to just sit. City needs to be part of the planning <br /> because they will be the recipients of a lot of the Grant money. Could form a committee <br /> under the City like was done for the Fire Code and Task Force <br /> Step One - 3rd Graphic Rendering <br /> Step Two - Working drawings for type pricing, there are no drawings at this time to scale <br /> of the building. There are some groups that want to take this on as a fundraiser but need <br /> a better idea of monies. Wyatt suggested that the $6,000 be used to fix the fluorescents <br /> behind the letters. <br /> <br /> <br /> 25 <br />
