PRE,SENTATIONS (CONTINUED)
DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE BALLOT MEASURE AND FINANCING OPTIONS TO

CM Nantell reviewed the staff report and requested Council to direct staff on whether to place a bond
measure on the November ballot. Asst. DPW Murtuza introduced Jon Kaufman of SdOpinion Research
who provided the key results of the Facilities Master Plan Survey which reflected the following three areas
that received more than two-thirds support from the voters surveyed: storm drains, disaster preparedness, and
the Recreation Center. P&RD Schwartz discussed several options for replacing or making seismic
improvements to the Recreation Center and if replaced, whether to relocate it outside the park. CM Nantell
discussed different configurations for a combined bond measure for $43 million. This amount was based on
survey results that showed a two-thirds majority of the voters would support a bond issue costing property
owners an average of $150 to $175 per year for 30 years.
Councilwoman Keighran stated that the number one priority is supporting our basic infrastructure. She was
concemed about what the community wants for the Recreation Center and suggested waiting to build up
reserves for this project. Councilman Cohen suggested bundling flood control and ADA/disaster
preparedness issues and possibly placing the Recreation Center as a separate ballot measure. Councilwoman

million to the November ballot, designating $35 million for flood control (storm drains) and $8 million for
ADA/seismic facility upgrades for Fire, Police and the Recreation Center, including a $4 million cap on
improvements to the Recreation Center.
