  1. I have been unable to find cost estimates for any of the projects other than Wildcat and Homecoming Parks. Do those estimates exist? If not, how did Council determine that $60 million was the right amount for all of the projects.

  2. Ben, if there is a tally of all anticipated costs for the projects I don't have easy access to it and if I remember correctly the number to be requested in the bond was modified a few times before settling at the 60 million.

    Please attend the meeting if you are able in order to ask this same question as I will be missing to attend a son’s sporting event.

  3. Asst. City Manager Vinicki stated at a meeting at Kingsley Swim and Tennis in response to a question that I had regarding the specificity on the project list. "It will be very specific by project, line by line."

    The question on the ballot is as far as you can get from specific. Another lie from the taxpayer funded snake oil salesman.
