All...
Good afternoon. I wanted to make sure you were updated on the latest details surrounding the arts center project.
We are continuing discussions with Orange County regarding the center's operations model. In a letter to Mayor Jacobs on March 8, we explained our review process and proposed dates for a county workshop. On March 29, Mayor Jacobs wrote back requesting alternate operational scenarios to the plan we outlined; we responded to the Mayor the following week with a revised schedule.
At last week's board meeting, we discussed the county's information request and our processes. For the Stage 1 plan, we've continued reviews of our operations plan by CEOs of national performing arts centers; we've also chosen to include reviews by operations executives from Disney, Universal and the Orlando Magic. Our Operations Committee, with board members Chuck Steinmetz and Craig Ustler, also is engaged in the process.
The Dr. Phillips Center Board will participate in an operations workshop next week and then we will be ready to submit the plan to Mayor Jacobs by next Friday.
We do anticipate more media stories surrounding operations as well as yesterday's OCCC meeting, our recent gap estimates, and the financial urgency of moving the project forward. We will continue to keep you updated on any developments. As always, we appreciate your support.
Best,
Kathy Ramsberger
President, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
