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 />review them. <br />Meeting was adjourned approximately 8:20pm. <br />5 <br />
