REVIEW OF CRA 05/06 PROPOSED BUDGET - TRAIN STATION DEPOT
1. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION WITH MR. RON GABOR
Mr. Minner reviewed the 05/06 budget with the committee. He introduced Mr. Gabor who
presented an overview of the train depot property project. As an amateur historian his thought
was to make the structure a public museum. There was discussion about the budgeted amount
from the CRA funds, perpetual care of the grounds and building, the possibility of obtaining grant
monies, and contractual details. Mr. Stringer emphasized they are just budgeting an amount at
this time and the particulars would be worked out during contract negotiations.
MOTION by Dill/Coniglio to recommend to City Council that they budget $100,000 of CRA funds
in support of the concept of moving the train station to Mr. Gabor's property subject to receiving
the details of the lease, easement agreement, cost and grant availability.
