We will be trying <br /> to get support from several groups in town (and their <br /> feedback) with respect to this,,,, Not sure what <br /> staff will do to prepare for the work session... <br /> Could we chat about that ? ?? <br /> The projects listed are probably a superset of what <br /> can be funded, but to give an idea. <br /> 346 -3414 <br /> thanks, <br /> art <br /> In response to Council questions regarding details, below please find our ideas regarding <br /> the two parks measures we are advocating be placed on the fall ballot. These could serve <br /> as starting points for your discussions and staff efforts. <br /> Proposed Parks Ballot Measures <br /> I. Parks Operation and Maintenance Local Option Levy $2 million <br /> over 4 years <br /> $400,000 first two years <br /> $600,000 second two years <br /> Estimated tax rate less than $10 /year for $200,000 home <br /> Staff has indicated they have had a flat budget since 1998 and had <br /> anticipated <br /> some increase ($300k) as new parks came on line. <br /> II. Parks Acquisition and Development Bond Measure $14 million <br /> The measure that passed (by nearly a 3:1 margin) in 1998 <br /> was for $28 million. Thinking of this as an continuation measure, <br /> we see asking for half as much. Below is our sense of allocations, <br /> with candidate projects areas. <br /> Recreation ($3.5 million) <br /> Echo Hollow Pool Renovation and Expansion <br /> Multi -Use Fields Development <br /> Work with 4J to refurbish or crreate new faciliities <br /> Ida Patterson School Fields <br /> Trainsong Park Ballfield <br /> Adams Elementary (2 fields) <br /> Jefferson Middle School (2 fields) <br /> Spring Creek and Awbry Park Schools (2 fiields) River Road /Santa Clara <br /> Kinney Loop school site North of Crescent <br /> 1 <br />
