City continues negotiations with firm that operates Chevy Centre.

YOUNGSTOWN — The city is postponing the approval of a contract with GetTix.Net to be the Chevrolet Centre’s exclusive ticket agency — although it remains in that capacity — as it negotiates with its parent company regarding the facility’s management.

The city is continuing to talk with Global Entertainment Corp. about the operation of the center.

Specifically the city is concerned about incorrect financial projections for the facility as well as ways to turn a profit, get the right mix of events there and management oversight, said Mayor Jay Williams.

The city’s three-member board of control, chaired by the mayor, was to approve a contract Aug. 30 with GetTix, but delayed the vote. At the time, Kyle Miasek, the city’s deputy finance director, said the board would vote on the contract at its next meeting, Thursday.

But Williams said today that talks with Global about the city-owned arena are ongoing and that would force a delay of about a few months on the GetTix contract vote.
