MRS. NORB SKELLEY was present asking the City Commissioners to defer the demolition
of the Old City Hall until she could organize a committee to see if the City Hall could be
restored and used for a museum. She said this is the only architecturally historical
building of its' kind left in the City. Rich Nethaway and Wendell Wyatt said they think
the Old City Hall should be restored and used as a museum. Commissioner Rundquist stated
the Library Board had a man from the Kansas State Historical Society come to Salina for the
purpose of inspecting the Old City Hall and Old Courthouse for the possibility of using one
as a museum, and he felt neither were suitable. Commissioner Rundquist said the Old City
Hall has wooden floors and is a fire trap, and felt the Old County Courthouse might be more
suitable, since it is more of a fire proof building. Commissioner Millikan suggested they
go ahead with the date of March 29, 1971 to receive bids for the demolition of the buildings,,
to see if there is any organized group to take over the restoration of the Old City Hall
as a museum.
