Junction City Commission authorizes a feasibility study for Spin City

Posted Apr 17, 2024 3:25 PM

The Junction City Commission has voted 3-2 to authorize a  feasibility study that will be used to analyze Spin City, 915 South Washington,  as a possible event center. The plan will have architect Bruce McMillan conduct a feasibility study for $15,750.

Commissioner Richard Pinaire said he didn't think that the City needed to get into the business of providing a center for the food service. He noted the discussion was about having a center to host events beyond the skating rink. But Mayor Pat Landes countered by saying this isn't about having a kitchen and cooking. There could be cooking with warmers but that would be it.

Commissioner Al Gordon asked why the City needed to spend $15,750 for someone to do a study to tell them what the City can do or needs to do anyway. Landes stated that people want something for kids to do and this is it. Al Gordon and Richard Pinaire voted no on the proposal. Pat Landes, Ronna Larson and Jeff Underhill voted yes.
