Description/History
Approve the resolution
Justification
In June 2018, the Museum Specialist for the Mansfield Historical Museum retired. This is a city-funded position. During the search process to fill the vacancy, City Council discussed ways the City could best support the museum and the historical society.
The City approached the Mansfield Historical Society board with a proposition to take over the operations, maintenance, building repairs and staffing of the museum. With this change the city could provide a full time employee, make needed repairs to the building, and fund the maintenance and operations. The Mansfield Historical Society would still function as a 501(c)3 and continue to fundraise and support the Mansfield Historical Museum and Heritage Center as well as other potential historical facilities.
This agreement outlines the details of the proposed development for both parties.
