City staff showed preliminary plans and cost estimates to renovate the McKinney Building and described accessibility, structural, and program uses. The project is estimated at about $5.3 million and will need additional funding beyond initial grant applications; staff will pursue grant opportunities and report back in 4–6 months. If it proceeds, the Office of Cultural Affairs would manage the space and expanding the ADA ramp would remove four nearby parking spaces. Council moved into a closed session to discuss legal, real estate, and bid-related issues.
