Handley Center urges commission to seat task force, seeks firm commitment
Summary
Representatives of the Handley Center told the Lead City Commission the center needs an immediate task force and a firm commitment after announcing there will be no Lead Live this summer; a resident asked how a final building report would inform task-force selection.
Darla Auld, speaking for the Handley Center, told the Lead City Commission on April 6 that the center will not run Lead Live this summer and read a letter asking the commission for a firm commitment and the immediate seating of a task force to address decisions facing the center.
Auld asked the commission to act quickly to establish membership and charge for the task force; Rose Burns, a resident who spoke immediately afterward, asked whether the commission had a final building report and how task-force members would be chosen. The minutes record Auld’s request but do not specify a timeline or funding source for the task force.
The commission did not take a formal vote on the request at the April 6 meeting. According to the minutes, the matter remains at the request stage and any next steps (staff report, public hearing, or formal referral) were not specified. The Historic Preservation calendar and planning schedules were noted elsewhere on the agenda but were not linked to the Handley Center request in the documented actions.
The next commission meeting is April 20, 2026, at 5:30 PM at Lead City Hall; residents who want the task force discussed further can expect to raise the item at that session or request it be placed on a future agenda.
