But local leaders said they have no specific plans for the 88-year-old building, other than to preserve a vital community asset.

"The actual programming of the building space and operation of programs will be determined over time," said City Council President Randy Staver at Monday's news conference. 

The council is expected to vote on a purchase agreement for the property on April 6. If approved, the plan will enter a 60-day review period, in which the city will seek input from the public.
