Summary

Mayor Trett presented a DLF‑funded plan to purchase a display case for historical equipment and photos as the start of a Detroit museum; councilors raised placement and accessibility concerns and tabled final design decisions for the DLF.

Mayor Jim Trett described a proposal to buy a display case to house historical equipment and photos as part of a small Detroit museum display, noting a quote from Oregon Corrections Enterprise for $5,871 (including freight) and a Northside Electric estimate for $825 with a 25% discount. Trett said he may have electricians willing to donate time to install an outlet; Councilor Denny Nielsen raised accessibility concerns and suggested mounting the case at eye level rather than at ground level.

The council reached consensus on pursuing a DLF grant for a display case but tabled final design choices for discussion at a future DLF meeting. Trett said he would bring donor‑wall and hanging artwork issues to the next DLF meeting for further consideration.
