City Commission Meeting · 2026-07-23 · agenda_item

The City of Palatka is planning to provide space within the Robert H. Jenkins Gymnasium for a Museum. This includes locker room space and an adjacent office. The City will also coordinate with Newtown on the design, creation, promotion, and management of the Museum facility. This involves facility planning, branding, signage, and accessibility. The City will cover fixed costs like utilities, routine maintenance, and custodial services for common areas, and has budgeted at least $25,000 annually for Newtown's services. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. The project will involve interior renovations and fit-out of existing space, including potential electrical and HVAC work for the office and locker rooms, as well as signage and accessibility improvements. Contractors specializing in general contracting, carpentry, electrical, HVAC, painting, and potentially plumbing could find opportunities. Suppliers of building materials and fixtures may also be involved. Reaching out to the City of Palatka early could provide insight into specific needs before final plans are set.
