1. Approve the Minutes of the February 15, 2024 Special Meeting.
Chair Yick and Vice Chair Blum clarified that the intent of the motion for Item 3 in the February

minimum,” was to not spend all of this money on consultants and architects when potentially
there may be a brand new building, but not necessarily bare bones. On this same motion,
Commissioner Sterne and Chair Yick clarified that the intent was not to state, “…functions we
would like for the new center,” but instead to state, “…functions we would like for the interim
center.”

as mentioned. Seconded by Commissioner Konrad.
