Anderson, Director, a <br />Recreation and Forestry , <br />July 24, 1980 <br />Park Bond Referendum <br />To facilitate the Commission's discussion regardinq the potentiai <br />of park referendum during the Fall of 1980, Staff has met with. <br />Mr. Gary Tushie, Mr. Frank Kampel and Mr. Phil Chenowith.to Feview <br />their perception and perspective on park referendum. To that end„ . <br />I hereby state Staff's general feelings and recommendations regard- <br />ing a park referendum: <br />1 <br />2. <br />c.. <br />The ideal date for a park referendam would be September 23, <br />1980, approximately 8 weeks away. But due to the excese <br />costs, budget schedule, and attempting to Pun 3 electians <br />in a 2 month period, Staff would recommend the bond issue <br />be held on Tuesday, September 9, which would alsa be the <br />State Primary Election. The reason for this recommendation <br />is twofold: 1) It would be most cost effectiva for the <br />City, and 2) The November election would be competing with <br />the General Election and would not allow the City to.::8ee <br />the bonds prior to the election and prior to.:the adoption <br />of the 1881 Budget. Staff has reviewed the State regula- <br />tions with the Finance Director, Don-Brager,regarding <br />timelines and it appears that we must file our intent for <br />the election prior to August 12, 1980. <br />It is Staff's feelings that the park referendum should be <br />one question for a qrand total of $1,606,437. Staff has <br />reviewed the project estimates Saunders-Thalden at qreat <br />lengths and although there was not compleYe agreement._by <br />either Gary, Frank or myaelf, 2 am.-forwarding my personal <br />recommendations and rationale as to how I arrived at the <br />S1.6 million figure: <br />a. Huildings and park ahelters - The original estimate <br />was $262,100 and Staff recommends $256,100 by deletlnq ; <br />the 6oncension stand at Greenfield Park totalinq <br />26,000. ° <br />b.
