The Mayor and Council on Tuesday agreed to enter a Memorandum of Understanding with Special Event Productions-TEAM Productions and Bob Rothermel to pool resources on drawing more concerts to the Performing Arts Center (PAC) in the Roland E. Powell Convention Center. Under the terms of the MOU approved on Tuesday, the Town of Ocean City will provide $40,000 in each of the next two years to bring two concerts to the PAC in fiscal year 2016 and four in fiscal year 2017.
Through the contract, Rothermel and TEAM Productions will supply the talent-buying and event management services and Ocean City will provide the funding to bring as many as six significant concert events to the PAC by the end of fiscal year 2017, including two as soon as the end of this June. In simplest terms, the MOU hopes to take advantage of Rothermel’s expertise on drawing major acts to the PAC in a partnership that allows both parties to share in the profits of the events.

Poor planning, lies and taxpayer money. The perfect cocktail!

ReplyDeleteThe town of Ocean City spent millions of dollars on this renovation. The venue is too small to hold big money making events. There were a certain group of people in the art world of Ocean City that pushed and pushed and pushed this white elephant. Now it's subsidized by the town of Ocean City Maybe the should look into wind power to run the venue. Sarcasm.
