The Commission expressed a need for a broader base committee for the campaign and suggestions were made for citizens to be added, including citizens which support the pool. This committee needs to be established immediately after the decision to move forward is made by the City Council. Duane Peterson volunteered to take the lead in working with city staff on the development of a public information video on the bond proposal. It was suggested that Burbach make his presentation to the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council on Tuesday, September 8, 1998, and that if the project moves forward, a public informational meeting be held Monday, September 14. Staff will confirm these dates or make other arrangements for these two meetings. Advice from Burbach will be required in order to set up two additional public presentations.
