At an earlier meeting Mr. Copt stated that he was apprehensive about the district's ability to complete all the identified improvements within a short time frame. He noted that there is the option oflevying over several years and feathering the construction projects over a longer period oftime. This would allow for better project management and a lessened tax burden, as not all levies would start at the same time. The combined tax increase could be held to $IOO/year. Another option would be to lower the amount for . the facilities levy referendum and come back in a few years for another vote to raise the rest of the dollars. If this were the option, then we would identify those projects that could be put off for a few years. However, at our last meeting on April 22, 2002, the committee felt strongly that its proposals should be seriously considered and that you (Dr. Thein) should ask the Board and the public to approve its recommended amounts, since the needs will not go away and any delay will result in increased costs and possibly emergency repairs. We also felt that the district should hire a professional consultant to review the proposed improvements and then would also assist in setting priorities.
