City can hire interim Chevy Centre management

YOUNGSTOWN — Seeking to terminate an agreement with the company managing the Chevrolet Centre, the city administration now has the authority to hire an interim replacement if one is needed.

City council unanimously approved legislation Wednesday to authorize the board of control to:

• Ask companies for their qualifications to temporarily manage the city-owned facility.

• Select the best qualified entity and negotiate an agreement to run the center for up to 120 days.

• Take the same action as above, but with a company to run the center for an interim period of time. The legislation doesn’t give a time frame, and permits the board of control to have the option to enter into a long-term agreement with that entity.
