Bill Summary For lack of a motion to move the amendment (there were
only four Members present), the item was deferred. Prior to the deferral, a lengthy discussion
ensued. The Chair, Council Member
Brown, reported on the noticed meeting that he held and concluded that a
contract that the City had with the State mandated that the City maintain the
historic portion of the old courthouse building. Council Member Lori Boyer differed with Mr.
Brown’s characterization of the City’s obligations. A goodly amount of the
renovation work that the City was obligated to do had
been completed; the tables in the former post office space on the ground
floor have to be refurbished. Council Member Brown indicated that he would be
scheduling another noticed meeting to clarify and resolve issues and
unanswered questions. Tom Goldsbury, Chief, Building Inspection, and
Assistant General Sandra Stockwell fielded questions from the panel. Patricia Dodson, State Attorney’s Office,
remarked on Memorandum of Understanding with the State Historic Preservation
Office. DEFER |
