Sports and Exhibition Authority

Also known as SEA and S&EA
==Background==
* The Mayor appoints all five members to the Stadium Authority board and 3 of the 7 to the SEA board.
* In Feb 2006, City Council President, Luke Ravenstal, was appointed to the Sports and Exhibition Authority by new mayor, Bob O'Connor.
==Insights==
* Tribune-Review, July 2007 -- An observation: Mary Conturo remains as head of the city-county Sports & Exhibition Authority. Why? If a head was to have been rolled after last winter's catastrophic floor collapse at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, it should have been hers. After all, she told no superiors of a prior, less severe collapse. Public accountability requires those responsible to be held accountable.
