Council hears updates on Mission Mall repairs, senior center theatre remodel and cemetery finances
Summary
At its Oct. 21, 2025 meeting the City Council received updates from Mission Mall and Senior Center representatives about building repairs and the theatre remodel grant; the Cemetery Board forecasted its finances and said it may ask the Council for assistance in the future.
The City Council heard a status update from Connie Hoefs on behalf of the Mission Mall asking about making the building weather-tight for the coming winter; the council said it is lining up a contractor to address the issue.
Gary Schievelbein spoke on behalf of the Cemetery Board and shared the board's current financial forecast, stating the board may request assistance from the Council in the future. Schievelbein later reported concerns from the Senior Center Board about the theatre remodel project, noting the City is more than two years into the project, a grant has been awarded, and a grant administrator is working through the process.
Council members also discussed whether downtown commercial space may be used for residential purposes; the council said it prefers active businesses downtown but noted current zoning policies do not prohibit residential use. The minutes do not record formal next steps or motions tied directly to these updates.
