The <br />attached proposal is from Springsted, which has considerable experience with, and <br />understanding of, the City Charter related to referendums for street and road projects. <br />Springsted proposes to partner with Dustin Deets, a strategic communications firm with <br />referendum experience. This proposal discusses the steps that would be taken to provide <br />comprehensive information to the voters. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Council is requested to determine its objectives for this November's ballot question and <br />for the communication plan.
