City Council Minutes <br />June 4, 2018 <br />Page 13 <br />Councilmember Wagner said the Council needs to come up with a Plan B in case the <br />LOST does not pass. <br />Mayor Dietz agreed they would need a Plan B but it would not need to be <br />determined before August 1 as the ballot language would. Educational literature <br />needs to get to voters in early September. He asked if the marketing materials would <br />be created in house or outsourced. <br />Mr. Portner said the 2016 materials were created in house. However, the difference is <br />that there is an engaged group of people to carry the message this year, the city just <br />need to provide the facts. He spoke to the Council regarding their role in promotion <br />of the LOST should it go on the ballot. Staff can only show pictures and charts they <br />can't promote it as a good option, that's up the Council if they should choose. <br />Westgaard talked about what Plan B may have to look like. Demolition of the three <br />facilities would also cost money and, without money from a LOST how would the <br />city pay for it? <br />Mayor Dietz stated that the idea was to phase the projects over time not all at once. <br />The Council will have to have that discussion about what Plan B is. <br />Mr. Portner agreed that the city would not have the capacity to complete all project <br />simultaneously but would have to do one at a time. The city would bond for the <br />projects and then pay the debt payment with LOST funding. <br />Mayor Dietz stated hopefully the Ccouncil would have a lot of information regarding <br />projects at the next council meeting. <br />11. Adjournment <br />There being no further business, Mayor Dietz adjourned the meeting of the Elk <br />River City Council at 10:01 p.m. <br />Tina Allard, City Clerk <br />PO111[1 B1 <br />11�1ATURd <br />
