 Last Friday, former Sanford Center Executive Director Curtis Webb was terminated by the Event Centers Management Company, VenuWorks. Josh Peterson looked into the many questions that still remain. Questions over business practices have been at the forefront lately for the Sanford Centers Management Company, VenuWorks. Last Friday's announcement stirred the pot as VenuWorks terminated former Sanford Center Executive Director Curtis Webb from his current position at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, Illinois for using company debit cards for personal reasons. Our feeling is that we're going to do a full investigation. Our COO will be here next week as well as our controller to start pulling through all the records and determine if and how much anything was done. The announcement came just two weeks after questions were raised at a Bemidji City Council Work Session where the issue of VenuWorks brought in high-risk shows without a promoter on the city of Bemidji's dime. Even though it's been a rough couple of weeks for VenuWorks, Vice President Russ Ferguson says that the questions that were raised a couple of weeks ago at a City Council Work Session have nothing to do with the current investigation of Curtis Webb. And it's my knowledge that, you know, Steve Peters, our president, has addressed those issues with the city and he plans to cover any of the losses that we're going to take place through those. The city of Bemidji says that while nothing has been resolved yet, a new task force has been formed to help further understand and communicate the event center's business. We do have a work group of the council that's been formed to try to take a look at some of our operational policies, some of our risk tolerances that we want to take a look at with the promotional activity to do with the Sanford Center. As for issues concerning Curtis Webb, the city of Bemidji will be working with VenuWorks who says it will reimburse any outstanding unauthorized expenses to the city of Bemidji. As for legal action by the city, it remains to be seen. To really to know, to really to know we can't really comment too much, it's an investigation that's happening right now. In Bemidji, I'm Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. VenuWorks corporate finance staff is currently reviewing all bank statements and accounts. VenuWorks is working with the city of Bemidji to determine any further action.
