A forrn8l determination of whether the facility would remain in its current site or be moved to a yet- to-be determined site has yet to be resolved. Thc options available to thc City Council are allowing the facility to remain on its original site and making the necessary site improvements or moving the facility to a site which would complement its historical signLfieance, and return the grant funding to the Minnesota Historical Society. Once the determinatlo~ has been made as to the location of the Old Town Hall, staff would develop budget options for Council consideration and research the uses allowed under the Historical Society Grant funding. Mayor Gamec stated this was discussed at a work session and indicated that this is the only public historical site in the City so maybe it should stay there. Mr. Norman agreed this has been discussed previously but before budgeting, formal Council City Council/June 9, 1998 Page 19 of 27
