He also stated he included input from the Planning Commission in making decisions, and noted that the current administration is not following that policy.

The Council reviewed a draft of the proposed newsletter to be mailed to the citizens, regarding the special election. Park Director Anderson reviewed why he feels a referendum is necessary, and he reviewed some of the information in the proposed newsletter. Councilmember Hankner asked if the Task Force had poken to anyone in the Public Works department to find out how much time is currently being spent on park maintenance, and whether the overall management issue was discussed.

No. 1964 Mounds View City Council December 23, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Three ?ark Director Anderson replied that they had not Addressed those two issues, but he stated that all members of the Task Force are very active in the park system, and they have looked at the financial data provided by Staff. He added they did not address whether the current park maintenance problems are with the budget or are management problems. Councilmember Blanchard stated she felt the brochure is very good, but she feels the timing is very poor, with the January 21 special election coming so close after Christmas, and with the cold weather and she does not feel there is adequate time to get the information to the voters and get them out to knowledgeably vote on this issue. Park Director Anderson replied he does not feel the issue of getting the word out to the community is a problem at all, and if it is approved by the Council tonight, he could guarantee the copies of the newsletter would be ready for distribution prior to December 30, which means they would be in the homes by January 2 or 3. He provided copies of the timeline they have proposed, stating what would be done week to week, and they have 14 volunteers who are ready to get the information mut to the residents. He explained their methods of communication would be with the newsletter, newspaper articles, a public meeting, and so forth. He also pointed out that by having this referendum on January 21, it would alleviate the cost of having a special election at a later time. Councilmember Blanchard expressed concern in how quickly the Task Force has been put together, and their lack of working with one another. Mr. McCarty asked if the requirements listed in the Charter would be followed. He pointed out that the Charter Commission had made the determination in the past that elections in an off year were very had for getting the voters out. Councilmember Hankner asked what the cost of the news- letter would be, including the printing and mailing, and she reviewed portions of the proposed newsletter and stated she felt they were biased in the question and answer section, and she would like to see it worded in an objective manner. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the assessment ;uestion and stated that it was his feeling that the cost could rise for the homeowner, contrary to what was stated in the newsletter. Mounds View City Council December 23, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Four `mark Director Anderson replied that he would agree :o some changes in terminology. He also stated that they are meeting all the Charter requirements and he did not feel it was a concern in having an off year election. He stated that he feels that as long as the candidates for County Commissioner can get their literature out, the park department can also. Councilmember Hankner stated her major concern is in getting the information out to the residents. Bill Frits stated he felt the timeframe was very poor, and that for getting the information out, they do not have an organized political group to help them. He also questioned the thoroughness of the report, stating that there already is a drinking fountain at Hillview Park, yet the plan calls for the installation on one there. He also stated he feels the residents should be given complete information on what the money would be spent on, and where things would be going, so they would know just what they are voting on. Mr. McCarty stated that off year elections have proven to be undesirable and he did not feel they :ould expect a good turnout. Mayor Linke stated he felt the newsletter should be cleaned up to make it more neutral, and that if the citizens are informed and choose not to vote, they have no right to complain afterwards. Park Director Anderson explained that if the referendum passes, they would do a direct mailing to those affected and conduct public hearings to tell them what is planned for their areas.
