Commissioners also directed staff to negotiate with both Crooked Tree Arts Center and Traverse Area District Library to see if a joint occupancy agreement can be reached for the Carnegie Building and agreed to hire a firm instead of an individual to replace outgoing City Attorney Lauren Trible-Laucht for the near future, among other items.
