<br />Park and Recreation Commission Minutes <br />June 3, 1998 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The Commission and Council discussed the pros and cons of proceeding in 1998 <br />versus waiting till the year 2000; the option of putting forth two different questions <br />to the voters; the possible need for a community center issue to move forward in <br />the near future; and the concern about failing in a second referendum and this <br />impact on an attempted third referendum in the year 2000. It was noted that <br />the city would have a greater chance of success with a larger voter turnout and <br />this larger turnout always happens during the presidential elections. <br /> <br />Discussion took place regarding what could be eliminated from the 1997 <br />proposal which would allow the inclusion of a pool in the 1998 proposal. It was <br />noted that a lot of ball field related items were included in the 1997 proposal <br />and that this did not get the supporters (the families of ballplayers) to the polls to <br />vote, but did get the negative votes to turn out. <br /> <br />The Commission agreed to discuss this issue in more detail at its next meeting on <br />June 10, 1998. A decision to move forward with a 1998 proposal should be <br />made before the end of the month. <br /> <br />4. Other Business <br /> <br />No other business was presented. <br /> <br />5.
