Board approves resolution to establish call center to fund Hub City Central maintenance
Summary
The board approved a resolution to establish a call center whose revenues will be earmarked to maintain Hub City Central facilities — including the stadium, Omen Arena and the new central office — with the board to revisit allocations at least every three years.
The Jackson-Madison County Schools Board approved a resolution to establish a call center intended to generate and dedicate revenue for Hub City Central's facilities, including the football stadium, Omen Arena and the district's new central office.
Attorney Dale Thomas summarized the resolution, describing it as a mechanism to keep revenue generated by the hub with the facility to sustain maintenance and operations over time. "Generally, the resolution establishes a call center for Hub City Central," he said, noting the board would review call-center allocations at least once every three years. The attorney also said he had circulated suggested revisions after a finance committee meeting.
Board members said the approach would keep revenue within the hub to cover maintenance liability rather than returning to the county, and cited the former Amaresco payments as part of the seed funding conversation. A board member moved to approve the resolution (mover: speaker 11); another seconded and the board approved the resolution by voice vote.
What happens next: Staff will implement the call-center structure and report back to the board on allocation and oversight mechanisms; the board committed to periodic review of the allocations.
