that there are other revenue generators that we can look at. He spoke about the different
options that were proposed.
City Manager Dugger stated that the wording can be crafted to include infrastructure.
Vice Mayor Turkin said that these big-ticket items seem like they are CIP.
There was discussion on: the different projects that are being proposed for the bond; and
not being held to the certain projects in the list.
Commissioner Hay said that the public will have no problem saying yes or no, and that
these bonds usually do not have a good track record. He stated that there has to be good
marketing, to show the residents what the benefits are.
Mr. Young stated that these are not complete lists, those were only highlighted projects.
Commissioner Hay said that he is all for it, but it is going to be an uphill battle to see what
the benefits will be. He commented that he would like to go with the staffs
recommendation.
Commissioner Kelley said that there has to be more conversations with the public moving
forward, and it is a huge ask to have the residents consider this. She asked about the life
of the parks.
Mr. Young said that the different items at the parks last about 10-15 years, as an average.
Commissioner Kelley said that we have be realistic about how this can last, and we are
not just looking at immediate improvements, and 10 years down the line, the bond money
is not paid off yet. She wants to be realistic with the residents on what this could look like.
She mentioned that we will be losing the penny surtax soon. She challenged the Fire
Chief to better utilize the Fire Assessment Fees for projects, so that the residents know
that this is for a specific purpose. She said that they have been promised a new fire station
in District 4 and it has not happened.
Chief Bruder stated that it has been added to this bond, because it is not easy to obtain
$10M, and the Fire Assessment Fee is not enough. He said that grants are great, and
they will continue to go after them, but they are not guaranteed.
Commissioner Kelley asked if he sees their need changing in the future.

what we have and making tough decisions.
Commissioner Kelley asked about the need of the Police Department in 5-10 years.

be involved. She supports moving forward with this, and asked what the public
involvement will be.

so that the residents know what these are for. He said that there is a short timeframe due
to the deadline that the SOE has.
Mayor Penserga said he is hearing mixed sentiments and asked for clarity from each
Commissioner. He asked if they want to move forward tonight or table the item and come
back with more information. If they want to move forward tonight, he needs to hear from
Commissioners at what funding level they are interested in.
Commissioner Cruz asked why we need this now, and how we have been able to maintain
certain parks. She stated that she would like to support this, but she is concerned with
the amount of funding. She said that the parks bond minimum as $50M is ridiculous and
does not find that fair. She mentioned that the number has got to come down significantly.
She asked why we are not including infrastructure in this. She said that a parks bond is
not a need, that infrastructure is. She asked what the process of payment is for bonds.

property owners, including the landlords of the properties.
