Council asked to add cooperative agreement with Main Street to agenda; fairgrounds hut to be declared surplus
Summary
Chair requested adding a cooperative endeavor agreement with Main Street as agenda item 19 and previewed a separate agenda item to surplus a deteriorating hut at the fairgrounds; the hut surplus would permit later transfer, sale or demolition, but no final vote appears in the workshop transcript.
Chair asked the council to add a Cooperative Endeavor/Cooperative Development Agreement related to Main Street to the agenda (item 19) and requested a motion to add the item. One council member proposed motion language and staff advised how to state the motion procedurally.
Fairgrounds hut: Chair explained the council will be asked that evening to declare a hut at the fairgrounds surplus property. He said staff recommended surplus as a first step because it would clear the way for transfer, sale or demolition later; the roof is failing and the structure is a liability or blight if left in place.
Why it matters: Declaring city property surplus is a procedural step that enables legal transfer or demolition options. The action could result in removal of a hazardous structure or a future transfer to another organization.
What happened: A motion to add item 19 was proposed; the transcript records the motion language being drafted and urged to be added, but it does not record the council's vote or final disposition in this workshop. Chair stated that the surplus declaration is limited to removing the item from city assets, not an immediate transfer, and that staff would follow the required surplus process.
Next steps: The cooperative agreement and the surplus declaration are on the council agenda for action at the meeting immediately following the workshop; the transcript gives no final vote result.
