March 14, 2024 TO: Mayor Pro-Tem Lisa Gregory& Decatur City Council Members FROM: Scot Wrighton, City Manager RE: Resolution Concerning Disposition of Old Garfield School At the time the council packets were distributed for the March 18 meeting, staff had not yet received the latest version of a potential intergovernmental agreement between DPS-61 and the city concerning the disposition of the old Garfield School (an agreement is required for the city to renew its application for funding and tax credits to support a renovation and re- purposing of the former school building). I will provide an update on this item tomorrow and/or on Monday. Given the time-sensitive nature of this project (the application is due to be received by the Illinois Housing Development Authority by March 29), 1 have left the item on the council's action agenda.
