6129296166 DECISION RESOURSES 485 PO~ JUL 16 '99 14:52 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Pat Klaers~ City o£~]k River <br /> <br />Bill Morris, Decision Resources, Ltd. <br /> <br />New Tax Impact Figures <br /> <br />Dear Pat: <br /> <br />Thanks for sending me the new t~x figures adjusted based on market v~t~. Oach,~! They <br />really do adjust our reasonable expectations about the electorate's behavior. <br /> <br />Let's begin Dy ruling out certain options: a three milliOn datl~ bond refer~ would <br />have little ehanoe of passage given this tax climate. Tha~ probably mear~ the swimming <br />pool should be dropped from consideration entirely. Even as a second ballot question, the <br />overall mount of the tax increase request could generate a backlash. <br /> <br />My advice is still to keep ~o the fig. ny dollar yearly impact or~ the typical Elk River <br />residence. While this may crimp the number of offerings feamrecl as part of the proposal, <br />it also keeps the tax request witkin a defendable range -- particularly with a 4.0 million <br />dollar levy referehdum request by the School District looming on the horizon. <br /> <br /> <br />
