CityCouncil | 2009-06-16 | 13 | Councilmember Gilmore stated that she does not want the City to be committed to providing a long-term subsidy in the form of money as opposed to just the building the subsidy should come from a paying tenant. Councilmember Matarrese stated the City pays a subsidy to the Museum that goes into the pocket of a private landlord; other cities have models where the city and non-profit provide a cultural service and the building is paid for from long-term foundation grants and sales from gift shops, which is consistent with the Carnegie foundation gift. The Interim City Manager stated that she would need sixty days to consider use options. On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
