Res 01-78 RESOLUTION N0.1-78
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, ENDORSING THE PROPOSED
COMMUNITY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AT PALM BEACH
JUNIOR COLLEGE.
~EREAS it has been evident for many years that facilities for
the performing arts are sorely needed in Palm Beach County; and,
WHEREAS no auditorium in the 3,000 seat range in Palm Beach
County has the acoustical properties and proscenium stage necessary for
proper presentation of symphony concerts, opera, drama, ballet, musical
plays, popular music and jazz, and all varieties of musical performance;
and,
WHEREAS an increase in the number of facilities for conventions,
political rallies, lectures and other meetings would be highly desirable
for the more than 500,000 residents of Palm Beach County; and,
WHEREAS problems involving site, parking, maintenance, management
and insurance which have plagued previous efforts to obtain a Performing
Arts Center have been solved by Palm Beach Junior College; and,
WHEREAS a Community Performing Arts Center at Palm Beach Junior
College would be of great educational value to the college students of
our area; and,
WHEREAS evidence of local support is almost always necessary
when efforts to obtain funds from state, federal and private foundation
sources are to be made,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1o That the City Council of the City of Delray Beach
endorses the proposed Community Performing Arts Center at Palm Beach
Junior College.
Section 2. That a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded
to Edward M. Eissey, President-Elect, Palm Beach Junior College.
