0 <br />11 <br />Parks and Recreation Minutes <br />Page 5 <br />June 4, 1981 <br />Task Force Report (cont.) A synopsis as to why the referendum may have failed <br />is as follows: <br />1. It was not an emotional issue, too much <br />apathy. <br />2. The general election was a bad time for <br />the Park Referendum. <br />3. The successful school referendum four weeks <br />prior to the park issue. <br />4. The referendum was for too much money. <br />5. General status of the economy. <br />6. Trend toward political conservatism. <br />7. Concern for how the parks were going to be <br />maintained. <br />A motion was made by Linke, seconded by Silvis to accept <br />and support the reasoning and rationale of Park Referen- <br />dum Task Force as to why it may have failed. <br />The motion passed unanimously. <br />7 ayes <br />0 nayes <br />A great deal of general discussion then followed regard- <br />ing the possibility of a referendum in the future. <br />Issues that were raised: <br />1. Referendum should be an emotional item. <br />2. Possibly the park shelter buildings should be <br />condemned and torn down. <br />
