Board discusses painting, furniture disposal and schedules property review committee
Summary
Vice president reported painting work at the shopping center and the former Boost Mobile; board reviewed inventory of furnishings from a bank building and, after advice that an auction was unlikely, discussed community sale, donations or demolition; the Property Review Committee was scheduled for the following Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Board members detailed ongoing property maintenance and options for disposing of furnishings and equipment from city‑owned buildings.
The vice president said volunteers and staff had been painting windows at the shopping center and planned to paint the exterior of the former Boost Mobile tenant space to improve appearance. The head of maintenance said paint attempted on glass did not cover as expected and staff continue to test options.
Members reported they had inventoried filing cabinets, safes and furniture from the bank building. Consultant Penny Worley reviewed photos and advised there was not enough resale value to justify an auction; she suggested contacting a locksmith or safe dealer about the safes. The board discussed alternatives such as a community sale, donation to the historical society, or allowing items to be removed before demolition if repurposing is not feasible.
The board set a Property Review Committee meeting for Wednesday the 9th at 6:00 p.m. in council chambers (downstairs) to coordinate next steps on property disposition and any RFP drafting.
Why it matters: Clearing and maintaining properties ahead of demolition and redevelopment affects neighborhood appearance, property costs and opportunities for local reuse. The board expects to make decisions about sale, donation or disposal as part of site remediation planning.
