(AP) John Marks, chief justice of the Supreme Council, the Romanian-American Rock hall may seek bond issue CLEVELAND (AP) The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will propose a $38 million bond issue to be repaid with an added tax on museum admissions and a boost in the county hotel and motel tax, according to a published report. The request would need approval from three separate levels of government. If OK'd, it would clear the way for construction of the $85 million facility to begin in the spring, The Plain Dealer said. To sell the bonds, rock hall backers must first: Win approval of the Ohio General Assembly for an increase in Cuyahoga County's tax on hotel and motel patrons. The General Assembly would be asked to pass legislation earmarking the bed tax increase for repayment of the bond issue.

Win approval of the Cuyahoga County commissioners to implement the higher bed tax. Win approval of the board of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority for the bond issue. The financing plan is expected to be presented to the rock hall's New York Board of Trustees, which is meeting in Cleveland today. Rock hall backers hope to gain a $5 million commitment from the board, which represents the music industry. So far, hall officials have collected about $42 million from the city, county and state and through local private donations.

Museum model presented, grant received CLEVELAND (AP) Backers of the Great Lakes Museum of Science, Environment and Technology say the design for their building links the North Coast Harbor and the proposed Rock: and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. A model of the four-level Great Lakes museum building, designed by the Boston architectural firm of E. Verner Johnson Associates, was presented by museum directors at a news conference Tuesday. The museum design features a glass-enclosed central hall, and is anchored on one end by a huge, silver-domed Omnimax theater complex. The museum, to be built on the shore of Lake Erie, also includes indoor-outdoor display patios, a gift shop and dining area.

It's laid out as a thematic link between downtown, the harbor and the I.M. Pei-designed rock hall. "This will be an exciting place for people to learn while having fun, a place for families and children for hundreds of thousands of school children," said Richard Coyne, project president. The museum will focus on regional scientific, environmental and technological advances. It has an agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for exhibits.

The project, estimated to cost $52 million, lies along the North Coast Harbor, with Cleveland Stadium to the west and the proposed site for the rock hall to the east. The rock hall and the Great Lakes museum are to be joined by an underground tunnel. The engineering firm of Syska and Hennessy, also based in Boston, will provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering. Assisting in the project are the architectural firm of Robert P. Madison International, structural engineers Barber Hoffman, and Polytech, a consulting engineering firm.

All three are based in Cleveland. Coyne also announced Tuesday that said the Cleveland Foundation awarded the project $1 million, to help defray further planning and design expenses. Coyne said efforts are continuing to raise more money. The museum is the third of three major projects planned for downtown Cleveland, joining the rock hall and the Gateway baseball stadium and sports arena complex under construction on the southern edge of the center city. Groundbreaking on the museum is expected to be in late 1993 or early 1994.

Planners hope the museum will be ready for Cleveland's bicentennial in 1996. Groundbreaking for the rock hall is tentatively set for next year.
