it. To perform very well it needs to attract many basketball, volleyball, fitness and dance tournaments each year for the 20-year life of the debt on the project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

needs with less risk. LAN needs to monitor the ongoing viability of that investment. If the investment proves to be less than well-advised, LAN needs to alert current and future City Commissions not to make the same mistakes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
