Jeff Coe and the Civic Centre

Dear City of Racine Alderpersons, 
 
In addition to more embezzlers being discovered in Racine - now we 
have questionably questionable accounts, courtesy Alderperson  Jeff 
Coe: 
 
From Sin City: 
 
Is Alderman Jeff Coe Misinformed or Malfeasant Concerning Civic Centre Revenues? 
 
Does Alderman Jeff Coe know what he is talking about – in regards to 
Civic Centre taxpayer funded subsidizes? The 2017 Audited Financial 
Report indicates that he is either misinformed or malfeasant when he 
wrongly asserts, in a Journal Times article, “First District Alderman 
Jeff Coe is concerned about the city spending much more on its annual 
Civic Centre subsidy — set at $323,000 in 2016. Coe said he doesn’t 
want to go back to the situation in 2005 when Racine was spending 
upwards of $800,000 on the Civic Centre”.

RACINE — In an effort to bring more people, business and festivals 
Downtown, the city is planning to retool its contract with the 
business that runs Festival Hall, Paul P. Harris Rotary Park and 
Memorial Hall. 
 
Currently, the three city-owned locations — collectively known as the 
Civic Centre — are run by VenuWorks, a venue management company based 
in Ames, Iowa, that runs more than 30 arenas, theaters and convention 
centers nationwide. 
 
The current contract with VenuWorks was most recently approved in fall 
2017, when doomed discussions to build a hotel and arena Downtown were 
still ongoing. 
Affecting Racine’s taxpayers 
 
First District Alderman Jeff Coe is concerned about the city spending 
much more on its annual Civic Centre subsidy — set at $323,000 in 
2016. Coe said he doesn’t want to go back to the situation in 2005 
when Racine was spending upwards of $800,000 on the Civic Centre. 
 
The facts, revealed in the City of Racine 2017 Audited Financial 
Report evidence that Alderman Jeff Coe, at best, doesn’t know what he 
is talking about. The Audited Financial Report reveals that the Civic 
Centre was taxpayer subsidized to the tune of  $807,061, with an 
operating loss of of $675,357!

Where did Alderman Jeff Coe get his misinformation from? Since he 
posted a bald-faced lie as reported by JT: 
 
First District Alderman Jeff Coe is concerned about the city spending 
much more on its annual Civic Centre subsidy — set at $323,000 in 
2016. Coe said he doesn’t want to go back to the situation in 2005 
when Racine was spending upwards of $800,000 on the Civic Centre. 
 
And yet - Alderman Jeff Coe assisted Mayor Cory Mason in increasing 
the staffing ion the Mayors office from 3 to 5 and incurring a cost of 
$750,000 plus to fund it! 
 
*WOW* 
 
When does the looting of a City of Ill Repute end? 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Tim & Cindy
