City Council Minutes — 07/29/02 <br /> Page 15 <br /> City Manager Beets responded that it was his <br /> understanding that the citizen's committee had completed <br /> work and submitted recommendations to the School <br /> Superintendent and Board, but no final decisions had <br /> been made on the study, and how it may impact the <br /> Fairview Community Center facility. Mr. Beets advised <br /> that this year's referendum was for operating expenses. <br /> City Manager Beets advised that the School District <br /> Superintendent was tentatively scheduled to address the <br /> City Council in August. <br /> Councilmember Maschka expressed concerns that the <br /> same issues apparent years ago at a community center <br /> referendum continued to prevail; and suggested that if a <br /> task force were formed, that it be kept to approximately <br /> fifteen (15) people and include a representative from the <br /> I.S.D. No. 623 School Board. <br /> It was suggested that staff meet with School District <br /> representatives prior to the District's appearance in <br /> August before the City Council to specifically discuss <br /> the potential for a joint venture. <br /> Councilmember Maschka concurred, stating that the <br /> School's Fairview property is the most feasible <br /> geographic location. <br /> Councilmember Kough concurred, and expressed his <br /> concern that the proposed project be kept on track. <br /> Mayor Kysylyczyn responded that, in reviewing some of <br /> the communications included in the Council packet, a <br /> number of residents expressed preference for using <br /> neighboring communities' facilities to avoid tax <br /> ramifications. Mayor Kysylyczyn commented that he <br /> was concerned regarding overall community support of a <br /> community center referendum compared to the apparent <br /> support of the Police Department building's expansion <br /> and Public Works Maintenance facility renovation. <br />
