1. Purpose and Scope

City Commission Meeting · 2026-06-11 · agenda_item

The City of Palatka is considering a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to outline collaboration for operating the Newtown Museum and Cultural Arts Center. This agreement will cover the day-to-day running, programming, promotion, and community engagement of the museum. While most of the MOU reflects present intentions, certain sections regarding compensation, term, records, insurance, compliance, intellectual property, and general provisions are intended to be binding. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. The project involves ongoing operational needs for the museum, including programming, promotion, and community engagement. Potential work could involve services related to event planning, marketing, administrative support, and potentially facility maintenance or upgrades as the museum's operations evolve. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the evolving needs and potential opportunities as the MOU progresses through the review process.
