5. Facility Use and Access

City Commission Meeting · 2026-07-23 · agenda_item

This item concerns a planned agreement between the City of Palatka and Newtown regarding the use and access of museum space, including the locker room at the Robert H. Jenkins Gymnasium. The agreement will detail how Newtown will access the museum space and storage areas, coordinate key and alarm access, and schedule facility use. It also outlines procedures for temporary exhibit installations, requiring prior written consent from the City for any alterations or permanent fixtures. This is currently under review by the City Commission. The project involves coordinating access and security protocols, scheduling facility use, and managing temporary installations. This early stage offers an opportunity for businesses that provide security systems, access control, facility management services, and potentially specialized contractors for temporary exhibit installations to engage with the parties involved before final plans are set.
