Committee plans to tour stadium
Citizens oversight panel has its first meeting
(By Wesley Young, Winston-Salem Journal) - Committee members picked to watch over the city's baseball stadium expenses will tour the stadium next Thursday, but probably won't start reviewing actual spending requests until the next week, city officials said.
The 11-member committee had its first meeting yesterday at City Hall. One member was absent, and another discovered that he may have to resign if he wants to do business with the city in the future.
The committee's job will be to oversee the spending of $12.7 million in city money that has been earmarked for two purposes: $8 million to buy the land under the stadium and $4.7 million to spend on so-called "hard" construction costs -- money spent for actual construction instead of consulting fees and the like.
