(KLZA)-- The Humboldt City Council discussed the next steps in the City Auditorium renovation plan and the possible purchase of the building next to the Auditorium during their June 20th meeting.
Dennis Crispin, chairman of the Auditorium renovation committee informed Council members Phase II of the architectural design work for the project has been completed.
Crispin sought permission to use available funds to pay for Phase III architectural design.
Concerns were raised about how much money the architectural designs will take and how much money is available were discussed. Eventually the Council approved moving forward with the Phase III design work.
Councilperson Dolores Martinez cast a no vote on moving forward.
Crispin also presented information on the possible purchase of the building directly west of the Humboldt City Auditorium. The placement of air conditioning units for the Auditorium will be difficult due to the proximity of the building next door. Crispin also suggested the other building could be utilized for storage.
At the urging of Councilman Dean Bogle, the Council voted to explore a purchase option, including negotiating the sale price before a final decision is made.
