I think it is. When you have over $10 million in reserves it is time to pull the plug. As I have mentioned recently the Pavilion not only gets a subsidy for operating from the city, we also pay for ALL the repairs to the building. The Pavilion has no public benefit because they provide NO FREE public programming. Heck, even the part-time employees have to pay for parking. NO LIE. They used to do a FREE First Friday, but not sure if they even do that any more. They also charge to visit the visual arts museum, and their new outdoor music festival, funded by the Pavilion and taxpayers of Sioux Falls wasn’t FREE like JazzFest or even cheap tickets. The Pavilion has simply been taking money from us for years and providing nothing back unless you can afford a ticket to a show. I would not only cut the subsidy, any repairs to the building that involve upgrading performance equipment need to be paid for by the Pavilion. They should also cover all utilities (they may do that now) and they should pay an annual lease to the city. Next, I would eliminate the Zoo subsidy. It amazes me how the city will nickel dime the pools and libraries but throw millions at organizations that have millions in the bank, it’s stupid. If you want to make cuts, use your brain.
