Title
Consideration of and action on the approval of the Option 1 of the Maxwell Adult Center Ceramics Program.
Body
Summary:
At the June 4, 2019 City Council Workshop, Parks and Recreation Department staff presented three potential options for the current ceramics program at the Maxwell Adult Center. Staff presented options related to the firing of the ceramic pieces and detail the logistics associated with this process and operations. After the presentation, the consensus of Council was to pursue option 1 of the presentation, which was to continue the program as is.
There was also questions and discussion at the Council Workshop about determining whether the ceramic kilns, which had been previously held in storage, were still operational. Staff conducted a test, and it was determined that the kilns were still working. Since Option 1 does not involve use of the kilns, they were proposed to be included in the annual City of Deer Park auction. The kilns were included on the 2019 Surplus Auction List (Lot Number 25) that was approved and was authorized for public auction during the August 6 regular meeting of the Deer Park City Council.
It was later requested to staff that the Kilns be removed from the Auction list and this item be placed on the September 17th regular council meeting agenda for Council deliberation and action. Attached are the meeting minutes from the June 4th City Council workshop, August 6th regular council, and the 2019 Surplus Auction List.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
None
Recommended action
