3. Roles and Responsibilities of the City of Palatka

City Commission Meeting · 2026-06-11 · agenda_item

The City of Palatka is planning to provide space within the Robert H. Jenkins Gymnasium for a Museum. This space will include locker rooms and an adjacent office, accessible via an ADA ramp. The City will coordinate with Newtown on the design, creation, promotion, and management of the Museum facility. This includes facility planning, branding, signage, and accessibility efforts, along with marketing and public communications. The City will also cover fixed facility costs like utilities, routine maintenance, and custodial services for common areas, unless otherwise agreed upon. An annual budget of at least $25,000 is planned for Newtown's services, separate from fixed costs. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. The project involves facility preparation, including potential modifications for accessibility and branding, and ongoing maintenance and utility services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as general contracting, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring, and landscaping could find opportunities. Reaching out early to understand the specific needs as plans develop could be advantageous.
