City Council Minutes Page 11 <br /> June 4,2018 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Councilmember Olsen wondered if labeling it"recreational facilities"was <br /> informative enough. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard asked if the Council was moving too fast to get <br /> appropriate information. <br /> Councilmember Olsen did not see a need for a survey which seems like an extra step. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked Mr. Hecker when he could provide a list of priorities that the <br /> Parks and Recreation Commission create. Mr. Hecker said this information could be <br /> available at the June 18, 2018 Council meeting. <br /> Mr. Portner said dollar amounts should be ready prior to the Parks and Recreation <br /> Commission discussions on June 13, 2018. <br /> Mayor Dietz expressed a desire to keep moving forward to try and get a LOST on <br /> the November ballot. <br /> Councilmember Ovall said someone had asked him recently what he would do with <br /> "$25 million." He said it gave him a new perspective on using the money from the <br /> LOST for a broader audience. The question is whether to pause and get more <br /> community input or stick with the current options and stay at a reasonable cost. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked if the Council wants to push ahead with the ballot question. <br /> Councilmember Wagner reiterated they need a vision for this project. If asked, could <br /> the Council pick a plan today? She said she was not in favor of the plan that did not <br /> include the field house as she felt this added value,was a revenue generator, and had <br /> the support of youth associations. She asked if the Council was against looking at a <br /> different location. <br /> Councilmember Ovall stated he was not against looking at a different location. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked why the fieldhouse option failed when it was presented as part of <br /> the November 2016 ballot question. <br /> Councilmember Wagner said it failed due to poor communication. <br /> Mr. Portner clarified the option on the November 2016 ballot question included a <br /> dome. <br /> Mayor Dietz said if the arena is fixed then the softball fields do not have to be fixed. <br /> He recommended figuring out which projects the Council wants which will then <br /> determine what amount goes on the ballot. <br /> UREJ <br />
