The motion passed unanimously. Wayne Buchholz and Doug Olk, M.D. were present to ask for commission support for the EB Lyons Interpretive Center expansion project, and to encourage the city's financial support. The current building is two stories, 6,000 square feet, owned by the City and managed by the State. The center is open to the public, free of charge, offers many formal programs, and has formed various partnerships with schools and groups Right now, lack of space prohibits large groups from being able to attend popular programs. The expansion would allow the number of programs to be doubled, add additional space to the main building while maintaining the current look, add an atrium, add more room to the exhibit area, add a library to the main floor, add a multi-functional room that would seat 180+, and a classroom and biology lab in the lower level. Future plans include trail development. The campaign goal is $1,157,299, $340,000 of which is committed from the state. The city had promised $30,000 to help upgrade the current septic system, but the Board of Directors has sent a letter to the City Council requesting that those funds be redirected for other use. 11 was moved Qy Nadeau. seconded Qy Davkin. to support the EB Lyons Expansion Proiect as presented. and to support the reauest to the City Council to redirect the $30,000 promised from the ~ to be used for other aspects of the expansion instead of septic and sewer work.
