Accepting the donation would give the City another unique attribute to build quality of life and promote visitor attraction efforts. This is a generous donation and one that would otherwise be cost prohibitive to create this type of experience within the city. There are a number of operational considerations that need to be discussed, including the need for a committee/group to assist with setup and storage needs. There are some volunteers that have emerged and storage is the main issue to be discussed right now. Staff is working on possible solutions and hopes to have recommendations for Tuesday’s discussion for your consideration. Note that it is unlikely that we’d be able to introduce any type of display until 2026 as it will take time to work through and coordinate. STAFF RECOMENDATION: ATTACHMENTS: RECOMENDED MOTION: Motion based on outcome of group discussion that considers acceptance of the donation and acquisition of storage units staff identify/recommend in their presentation.
