The Council authorized <br /> money for brochure printing. <br /> 2] Dennis Donovan went over the brochure layout tentatively <br /> approved by the Council on Februsry 24, 1981. Council still <br /> wants to hold to 8% figure. This is a problem as 8.75% is <br /> ~the likely rate we could obtain now according to Springstad. <br /> We also plan to use this rate in our brochure to explain <br /> taxation costs. <br /> 3) Since meeting Springstad advised it would be foolish to <br /> proceed at au 8% rate. <br /> A motion was made by Swanson, seconded by McLean that the Park Commission <br /> will not proceed with the brochure until a realistic interest rate limit in <br /> agreed upon by the Council. The Commission should not place itself in a <br /> position of presenting misleading information to the public. It was <br /> approved unanimously. <br /> The Council requested that no Commission members attend the Fun Day <br /> scheduled at Ramsey Elementary School on M~%rch 6, 1981 to promote the bond <br /> iSSUe. <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 8:03 P.M. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />John Lichter, <br />Secretary <br /> <br /> <br />
