• <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />Park Board Referendum Meeting <br />November 19, 1997 <br />• Remind voters to vote <br />• Select and use "tools" <br />LAST FIVE WEEKS: Big push time <br />Start meeting and working with groups, get OK from council, vote. <br />Paul Hokeness gave background on his referendum in Prior Lake. <br />Some of his points were: <br />• He said to have something for everyone. <br />• Make a list of what you want included in referendum. <br />• Make sure you have fun times when working on the project. <br />• When meeting with organizations - have a form made up that <br />they only need to fill in organization name, sign stating they <br />support a referendum, and can return to the Parks and <br />Recreation Department. This creates a phone bank. <br />• Two weeks before and two days before the vote call and thank <br />supporters and remind them to get out to vote. <br />• They had customized flyers made up. <br />Comments made by Jeff, Jon, or Paul: <br />Window of opportunity is passing by Lino Lakes land is being <br />sold. <br />Have a sense of where you are going. <br />Discuss this at a meeting so all Park Board members and staff <br />have the same answers. <br />Keep council neutral even if they support referendum because they <br />have too many negative followers. <br />20-25% of the people in the community will vote no on anything - <br />even if it is for a blue sky! Don't waste your time on the non - <br />supporters, you will never get them to change their vote. <br />The ones that need it the most is who you work hardest on, so you <br />get them out to vote "Yes ". <br />Tell people it is a close vote and you need them to get out and <br />vote, <br />4 <br />
