5. Facility Use and Access

City Commission Meeting · 2026-06-11 · agenda_item

This item concerns a planned agreement between the City of Palatka and Newtown regarding the use and access of museum space and the Robert H. Jenkins Gymnasium locker room. The agreement will outline how Newtown will access the museum space and storage areas, including coordination of key/card access, alarm codes, and security protocols. It also details how facility scheduling will be managed to prevent conflicts with city activities and how closures or public safety directives will be handled. Any alterations, fixtures, or permanent installations will require the City's written consent, while temporary exhibit installations must follow city guidelines. This is currently under review by the City Commission. The project involves establishing access and security protocols, coordinating facility use, and managing temporary installations. Businesses involved in security systems, facility management, and specialized installation services may find opportunities. Early engagement could be beneficial as details are still being finalized.
