City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Referendum Meeting <br /> November 19, 1997 <br /> Have a written speech for all people to use . This way everyone <br /> sells the same thing. <br /> City can' t buy - "vote yes" signs . But they can buy a colorful <br /> sign that says mark your calendar (date) , please vote. <br /> Talk to City Attorney to verify that your task force can pay for <br /> things . <br /> Everyone needs to get out, get input, and list input you have <br /> received. <br /> Go after with enthusiasm and plan to win. <br /> Talk to local news editor and get them on your side . <br /> Get cost on items you want in referendum. <br /> The interest you collect from referendum dollars must go back <br /> into project you included in referendum, not into something else <br /> you would like. <br /> You need purchase option on property before referendum passes to <br /> prevent the price from going up. <br /> Turn negative "no growth" into a positive. Tell people someone <br /> in the past purchased park property, lets continue to do it for <br /> future generations . Sell the complex by saying the property will <br /> be turned into "green space" - never developed with houses . <br /> WANTED IN REFERENDUM: <br /> 1 . Trails <br /> 2 . Athletic Complex <br /> 3 . Neighborhood Parks Improvements <br /> It was suggested the whole Park Board needs to meet with the City <br /> Council in January if the board plans to have a vote in April or <br /> May. <br /> The handouts brought by Jeff, Jon, and Paul have been placed in a <br /> file in the Parks and Recreation office if you would like to <br /> '01 review them. <br /> Meeting was adjourned approximately 8 :20pm. <br /> 5 <br />
