December 1 , 1980 Park Board Page Two very hard over the last few years and have not seen any results of their work. There was a question as to the status of the building proposed for the City Hall Park. It was explained that to construct this building at this time would deplete the park funds . The general consensus of the City Council was this money would be better spent developing some of the parks already in use . Mayor Gourley presented the Resolution passed by the City Council authoriz- ing the Park Board to get estimates and proceed with teh planned work scheduled in the C .I.P . There was some discussion on the possibility of a bond issue for the constr4ction of the building at the City Hall Park. There was also dis- cussion of the time frame necessary if this matter were to be Put on the ballot . The Park Board questioned the use of tax monies by that department - they felt that they did not use any tax levy . Mr. Schumacher pointed out that there is $29 , 000 . 00 in the Park Budget for 1931 and this is all tax levy . Mr. SCherer moved to contact the firm that had presented the ideas on the bond issue for the construction of the building and ask them to return to a park board meeting and get something worked up to work toward a bond ^\ issue . Seconded by Mr . Foster. There was some discussion on how the costs of such an issue would be paid . It was suggested that the firm be requested to attend the next Park Board meeting and the questions could be asked at taht meeting.
