CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, CO

 

RESOLUTION NO. 89-09

 

A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 27-06

CREATING THE AVALON THEATRE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Recitals:

 

On the 5th day of April, 2006, the City Council of the City of Grand Junction, Colorado, approved Resolution No. 27-06 creating the Avalon Theatre Advisory Committee (“Committee”). The Committee was charged with planning for the growth and development of the Avalon Theatre into a significant community asset. The Committee was initially tasked to fulfill its responsibilities until June of 2012. Due to recent and worthy efforts the Committee work has been completed before that date.

 

Among other responsibilities, the Committee acting with the support and assistance of the City staff, acted since its inception to enhance and further the functional, aesthetic and cultural value of the Avalon Theatre (“Theatre”.) The Committee has worked to coordinate key stakeholders and Theatre user groups and to assist the Theatre to function in a financially responsible manner. Notably the Committee authored the Avalon Theatre Strategic Business Plan. That Plan will be important for the current and future users of the Theatre and for forthcoming business modeling for the Theatre.

 

With the transition of most of the day to day operations of the Theatre to the City as well as the recently announced collaboration between the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra, the Downtown Development Authority and the City, the Committee has satisfied its purpose. Committee Chair Ron Beach and Vice-chair Andre van Schaften have submitted a letter to the Mayor acknowledging that the work of the Committee is now complete.

 

Therefore, it is appropriate for the City Council to rescind Resolution No. 27-06, a resolution creating the Avalon Theatre Advisory Committee.

 

The Council extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to the Committee and to Chairman Beach and Vice Chairman van Schaften

 

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council, being fully advised in the premises, does hereby rescind Resolution No. 27-06 and hereby declare the work of the Avalon Theatre Advisory Committee ended.

 

Adopted the 18th day of November 2009.
