Neoga school to use community center after March 14 tornado; council raises funding concerns
Summary
Following tornado damage to the Neoga Jr.-Sr. High School on March 14, the school district will use the Neoga Community Center until further notice; the mayor pro-tem urged the council to consider the community center's future and noted strain on the general fund.
City Administrator/Clerk Brenda Evans told the council the Neoga School District will be using the Neoga Community Center "until further notice" because of damage from the March 14 tornado to the Jr.-Sr. High School. Evans said she asked Attorney Willenborg to draft a lease agreement between the city and the school district and will return the lease to the council once prepared.
Mayor Pro-tem Schabbing said she is grateful the district can use the facility but expressed concern that expenses related to the community center have depleted the general fund. She asked the council to begin discussing the building’s future use after the school no longer needs it.
The minutes provide no dollar figures for the center's expenses or the lease terms; staff were directed to draft the lease and bring it back for council review once prepared.
