It was the recommendation of Council to place the initiative on the ballot measure in the upcoming general election in November. In an attempt to introduce and educate the voting public, staff will be dispersing information on the parks maintenance district to the general public as well as various organizations, service groups and the media. Monday evening we will discuss the information format and what the City can legally present and how it can be presented. Respectfully submitted, 4Tmes H.
