3 issues in general with high priority
2027 Office Space Lease Agreements
The city's 2027 leases for office space at City Hall, the City Hall Annex and the Safety Building were up for approval. The leases bring in roughly $260,000 a year in rental revenue. Action was postponed when the meeting was cancelled.
Kohl Philanthropies Donation for King Community Center
Full fee elimination at the King Center failed 4-9, and the narrower youth non-resident fee cut survived only after being amended to ask neighboring municipalities to chip in funding for reduced rates.
City Administration Appointment
Racine has a new City Administrator: Jim Sullivan is taking over day-to-day city operations. That makes him a key person to watch, since he’ll help steer how City Hall runs.
