Council member Carlson - <br />The referendums were also quite different -she is on the road that was redone. Neighborhood <br />opposition for the West Shadow was an issue as it was perceived that not everyone even on that street <br />approved of the project. There was also the perception that the assessed amounts were not equitable <br />between projects. <br />Question put to council "If our group comes with the recommendation to change the charter or to <br />establish a road reconstruction fund, will the council actually do it?" <br />Brainstorm <br />Could the ballot have options- two questions? <br />Remove referendum <br />Establish road reconstruction fund <br />Judi- The council needs to have a resolution that if the charter isn't changed a fund is started. This <br />needs to be voted on prior to elections. This amount has to be substantial enough that it is reasonable <br />to see that roads will be reconstructed in our lifetime. If the fund is established it will be definitely <br />noted by the tax payer and perhaps in this election (or future) to the point that the ballot will actually <br />say, "by voting yes, your taxes will go down." <br />
