of their report. She asked the Commissioners to read the
report prior to looking through the other books

Item /8 was taken out of order at this time.
8. CARLSBAD THEATRE FEASIBILITY STUDY
Allen Largent, Manager of the Carlsbad Theatre, was
present to report on the progress to date. He stated
that the Donaldson report was out of line with regard to
the amount of money to be spent to refurbish the theatre.
Mr. Largent said that €or that amount of money, it would
be better to start from the ground up.
Mr. Largent told of the code violations that would need
to be corrected in order to open the doors, and stated he
was willing to do a lot of the work himself in order to
save money. The present owners had agreed to spend
approximately $15,000 to $20,000, and this would get the
doors open and then provide some income. He felt that
low admission would need to be charged, due to khe lack
of amenities.
