WINFIELD — The Winfield City Council voted to allow Mayor Randy Price to abolish the theater board and hire someone to a position to oversee its day-to-day operations during its regular meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
The council first voted to amend the agenda to discuss the matter, then voted to abolish the board.
According to Price, it was a decision that had needed to be made for a while now but kept getting forgotten or postponed in light of multiple other projects the city is working on.
“It’s a lot to juggle and try to make work,” Price said. “I just didn’t want this bucket to get kicked down the road. I want the theater to thrive and be bigger and better. I have failed to put it on the agenda, and I wanted to get closure to getting the board situation handled.”
