Councilmember Matarrese stated that he would like Council to consider reevaluating the vote regarding using the Carnegie Library for the Planning and Building Department and potentially directing the Interim City Manager to see if a lease arrangement with the Museum is feasible. Councilmember Gilmore stated that she recalls the on-going maintenance cost would be $150,000 per year; knowing whether the Museum's financial picture has changed is important. Councilmember Matarrese stated the $150,000 cost was for City employees providing maintenance; that he would like the Interim City Manager to investigate if there is a possibility of getting an occupant for the building; a full blown investigation is not needed. Mayor Johnson stated everyone thinks having the Museum at the Carnegie Building is a great idea; the question is whether the Museum has funding; Council could direct the Interim City Manager to investigate ways of getting the building back in use; perhaps the Museum could be combined with something else; possibilities should be reviewed; the City spent over $4 million on retrofitting years ago. Vice Mayor deHaan stated a fall back position should be reviewed since the previous Planning and Building Department use will not happen; that he has concerns with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and HVAC system; all options should be reviewed.
