heard any comments and he agrees it is not a high priority. <br />and Mayor Muckle agreed. <br />Historical Commission <br />City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 17, 2018 <br />Page 10 of 15 <br />Councilmember Stolzmann <br />Councilmember Loo stated #10, request for funding for 30% schematic design for the <br />museum expansion, is a lot of money. She would not fund this. <br />Mayor Muckle noted this is an important step for the project. Councilmember Keany <br />stated it is important to get to 30% design so we aren't guessing on costs. This is a City <br />facility being built on city property and we should be funding this without fund raising. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated he struggles with this because it feels as though the target <br />keeps moving. He doesn't support the additional funding until there is some polling <br />completed to know if there is support for this project. He stated he doesn't think this <br />should compete with the other items in the CIP. We need to know if there is interest on <br />the part of citizens to put this on a ballot; we don't know if the community is behind this. <br />City Manager Balser stated a more detailed discussion of the museum expansion is <br />scheduled for the May 15 meeting and that will include discussing polling. <br />Councilmember Loo stated she has no interest in polling unless it includes a larger <br />conversation such as underpasses, fields, tennis courts, etc. We shouldn't poll on a <br />single item; we need a broad conversation for a five-year plan. <br />Councilmember Loo stated requests for new employees need to be included in the <br />larger staffing conversation. <br />Councilmember Loo stated #15 for structural fixes and #16 about the HVAC system, <br />need clarification. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked if any of those could be funded with the <br />recently approved Historic Preservation Fund monies. <br />Library Board of Trustees <br />Councilmember Loo stated #18, additional Library staff, is a quality of life issue; she <br />would prioritize basic services staff over this. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated of course the library wants to do more and be better but at <br />some point we have to prioritize other needs in the community and the library is doing <br />well as is. If we need more staff because of new homes in Superior, Superior should <br />pay for that. He asked for more information on where the need is coming from. <br />Open Space Advisory Board <br />
