Dallas City Council says changes are needed with how Fair Park is managed going forward.
Representatives from nonprofit Fair Park First and park operator OVG360 offered differing perspectives for $5.7 million in donor funds used to cover day-to-day expensesThe Dallas City Council says Fair Park needs to be run differently after the management company reported a shortfall of $5.7 million.
“The issue and that shortfall is related to the fact that there have been monies that were directed by the prior leadership of Fair Park First,” Greg O’Dell said. “For those funds to be spent elsewhere, so that is why we’re in the situation we’re in right now.” Dallas City Council members seemed reluctant to support increasing the stipend to offset any losses OVG360 has incurred operating the venue.
