Convention Center Steering Committee
The Committee shall review, recommend, and oversee the selection and work of the Architect for the Project. In order to assure accountability to their constituents, the selection of the architect for the Convention/Civic Center must be approved by a majority vote of the four elected officials on the Steering Committee before the item may be considered by either entity.
This Section notwithstanding, nothing, including the Committee, shall override or circumvent the authority of statutory entities required to review and approve contracts, financing, petitions, applications, permits, or any other mandatory processes. All appointments shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing body.
