BALL

Th e
Paktech-sponsored
event was the latest in an eff ort
to raise funds for the remainder
of the remodeling still needed
for the building. According to
the city manager’s offi ce, the
dancing, desert dashes, silent
auctions featuring trips across
the country and the live band
managed to bring in $89,000
on Saturday night.
“It was nearly $90,000,” said
city manager Richard Meyers
and that’s a rough number,
there still might be some addi-
tions and subtractions as we go
through and make sure people
weren’t counted twice. And
that’s gross, that’s before we go
through and pay for the meals
and the money goes back into
the Armory trust fund to pay
for the building’s remodel.”
Th e Armory has already
undergone several phases of
its reconstruction including
brand new windows aft er the
city discovered failing panes
on the original windows and
lead paint around the edges.
Th e windows were not the only
place lead was discovered. Last

indicating that the city was not
properly cleaning the build-

that showed all of the building's
lead levels had decreased from
initial test readings conducted
when the city fi rst purchased
the building. Th e only area the
lead levels had increased was
in the drill hall--the area most
used for community events--
in a corner of the room by the
stairs and outside entrance. At
the time, Meyers attributed the
elevated level to the fact that
the building's exterior stairs
were painted with lead paint
and the contaminate was being
tracked in on visitor's shoes.
Th e remodel of the Armory
will include a new fascade on
the exterior, handicap accessi-
ble entrances, a remodel of the
facility's restrooms and other
modern additions. To view the
plans for the remodel, visit the
