HVAC Fixes Needed at Orpheum
The Civic Center Authority Board met Wednesday to discuss ways to revamp their the HVAC system at the Orpheum.

At their regular monthly meeting, new fundraiser for the group Gary Tomlin gave a lengthy presentation about the system needs.

The current HVAC system has experienced some wear and tear, rust, and lack of maintenance as of late.

Jay Bullis sits on the board. He says that they may need to get engineers involved to hold up the system.

"I'm the guy who's the one who came up with the deck idea and it's just basically, I've already talked to a couple Engineers. I'd like to engineer something that will hold so many pounds measure the pit covers and all the different risers and find out what their weight is and then figure out what it would cost."

The board also heard of several other projects that needed fixing, including: new curtains, painintg, and a pit deck.

The board was in agreement that the orpheum definitely needed tuckpointing due to it's century old construction.
