After much discussion of recreational needs, the quality of the original plan, how the previous levy lost by 31 votes, the cost of repair of the current facilities and the operational costs of the new one the Committee entertained a few suggestions of cuts. The Committee also discussed timing to get the legislation on the ballot. Council members seemed to embrace the wording of the new resolution as it adds more flexibility and the possibility to use added funds from cost savings and value engineering to enhance other recreational facilities in the community not mentioned in the original plan.
