<br />Exhibit 2 <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated his understanding of the open space referendum process at <br />the last City Council meeting was that it would be discussed at the Council's visioning <br />session as to whether or not they would be pursuing that as a Council. It is surprising to <br />him based on Mayor Gamec' s and his comments that this is included on the work plan. <br />He does not know that it is appropriate to be approving a work plan that has ties to an <br />open space referendum. He pointed out that Councilmember Strommen abstained from <br />commenting on the open space referendum at the previous City Council meeting. He <br />stated if there is an approval of an agenda for the EPB that includes the open space <br />referendum he is a little uncomfortable having that approved by t .
