Press release 2 file:///C~/HOTDOG/PUBLISH/C_SQUARE/~hdg0756.HT'M <br />Press Release: December 10, 1997 <br />~ Courthouse Square may get oversight committee <br />An independent advisory committee to oversee development of Courthouse Square was under <br />discussion Wednesday at the regular meeting of the Marion County Board of Commissioners. <br />Board Chair Randy Franke said questions have been raised concerning financing, selection of <br />consultants and cost projections for the transit mall and office building being developed jointly by the <br />county and transit district. <br />"Public confidence in the project has been eroded and we need some independent oversight and advice <br />to restore that confidence," Franke said. <br />The oversight committee would serve as a sounding board for staff, review all major decisions <br />affecting the project and serve as advisors on the project to the Board of Commissioners and the Salem <br />Area Transit District Board. The committee would have the authority to review public spending on <br />Courthouse Square and any major policy decisions affecting design, budget, financing, selection of <br />consultants and construction schedules. <br />* ~ ~ <br />Press release: Dec. 3 <br />~~ Return to Courthouse Square Home Page <br />~ Return to Board of Commissioners Home Pag~ <br />~ Return to Marion Count~ Home Pa~e <br />lofl <br />12/10/97 1:10 PM <br />
