FROM: Stephan Jilk, City Administrator ;
DATE: January 11, 1991 /
RE: Community Center Referendum -
On Tuesday you are asked to formally set the date for the
proposed community center referendum. Attached herewith you will
find the resolution if adopted, that will cause the referendum to
be conducted on February 19, 1991 and sets out the form of the
public notice and the ballot to be used.
These two forms set out the dollar amounts required to be
approved to finance the individual projects. These costs are
based upon the architects cost estimates as put together by his
team of mechanical, structural and electrical estimators and
include all estimates for soft costs including legal
contingencies, architectural and financing costs.
These costs are based upon the project as designed by the
architect in conjunction with the city Armory/Community Center
Committee.
The costs and designs have been developed to accommodate the
construction of each individual item as a separate add on to the
Armory when it is constructed.
The format for the question as it is placed on the ballot has
been reviewed by our bond counsel and found to be in accordance
with applicable state statutes.
As this project may not be constructed for up to three years,
even if approved now by referendum we checked with bond counsel
to assure that a positive result of the February 19th referendum
would not restrain as by having to wait up to three years to
"rise" this authority.
Bond counsel indicates that this is not a problem and that once
approval is granted that no time limit is set. You are only
constrained by the possibility that inflation may eat away at the
amount of money approved in the referendum.
This should not be an issue for us since, if the referendum is
approved in 1991, we can rely on the continuing levy approved in
summer of 1990 to support any inflationary increase for
construction.

Also attached here are:
1. A draft of the first flyer that will go out about
January 16th presenting information on the project to
the public.
2. A schedule which includes meeting dates and other dates
which will be met for presenting information on the
project to various groups in the community and to
conduct the election.
The Armory/Community Center Committee has already made two
presentations to community organizations and, as you may tell by
the schedule, they will be quite busy between now and February
19th to "get out the facts" and promote the project.
Tracie and I will be available at the meeting on Tuesday to
answer any questions you may have on this matter.
