Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hinkle, to approve Resolution No. 85-17. Ms. Dorothy Brown, 7709 Perkins, appeared before the Council. Ms. Brown stated she was shocked and dismayed that the swimming pool was not on the bond issue. Ms. Brown stated that the City Council had asked the citizens for a wish list, and with the petition and all of the people that turned out in support of the pool, she did not understand how it could be ignored. Ms. Brown stated that she understood that $5,000,000 on the bond issue was for the library/community complex/park & recreation facilities and they were only asking for 1.25 million dollars for a swimming pool. Ms. Brown stated that for 5 years they had tried to get a swimming pool in the city and in the 1980 election one million was suppose to go for a swimming pool. Ms. Brown stated she still could not find out where the money went. Ms. Brown stated she felt the 21,392 registered voters should decide what they want. Ms. Brown stated she was calling for the swimming pool to be placed on the ballot by itself. Ms. Brown stated that the city already had a library, but the city did not have a swimming pool. Ms. Brown asked if the Councilor Task Force could explain how the support for the pool was dropped and why in 1980 a pool was not built. Mayor Echols stated he could not speak for the 1980 bond issue. August 12, 1985 Page 3 August 12, 1985 Page 4 Mr. Line stated there was an election in 1980 for one million dollars for parks and recreation. Mr. Line stated it depended on who you talked to; some say it was for a pool and others say that was not the purpose. Mr. Line stated he had researched it and had not been able to find any authoritative source on what the one million dollars was actually for. Ms. Brown asked what the citizens could do to get a swimming pool. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated there were 17 citizens on the Task Force Committee who set priorities. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that some of the citizens wanted the drainage problem solved so their homes would not flood and others wanted street improvements. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the Council put a lot of faith in the Task Force to find out what the city's immediate needs were. Ms. Brown asked if the citizens could ask for a special election for a swimming pool. Mayo~ Echols stated that would be an initiative which the City Charter did not provide for. Councilman Fisher stated the Council did put their faith and concerns in the Task Force Committee to hear what the citizens had to say and the priorities they wanted in the City. Councilman Fisher stated he felt the Council should stand firm on the Task Force Committee's recommendation. Ms. Brown stated that was a lot of money for a library when the City already had one. Mayor Echols stated that one reason for relocating the library was to utilize the space for the Police Department. Ms. Vonnie Waiser, 7704 Perkins, appeared before the Council. Ms. Waiser stated what irritated her was that no one on the Task Force was for the swimming pool. Ms. Waiser stated they had a petition with 500 signatures in favor of the pool and no one on the Task Force signed the petition. Ms. Waiser stated that in her opinion that was biased to her. Mayor Echols stated he felt the Task Force did the best for the most immediate needs of the city. Ms. Edith Bartley, 7424 Continental Trail, appeared before the Council. Ms. Bartley stated as she understood it the Task Force did not specify what streets would be on the bond program. Ms. Bartley asked if the city would release a list of streets in regards to Item 1 on the bond issue. Mayor Echols stated that there was a preliminary list of streets. Mr. Line stated there was a list of streets available to the public. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that neither the Task Force nor the Council was anti-pool. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the Task Force felt that the immediate needs of the city were priority. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he hoped the citizens would support the bond issue. Ms. Linda Morgan, 7533 North Richland Blvd., appeared before the Council. Ms. Morgan wanted assurance that Holiday Lane would not be on the bond issue. Mayor Echols stated he could not give any assurances, but at the present time it was not on the list. Motion carried 5-0. 7.
