Top issues during term (7)(Parks Rec)
Arts and cultural funding
$2.6 million in bed tax revenue; a proposed $200,000 grant fund.
Community center design and Brook Park rink
Could mean a ~$1 million/year operating subsidy and possibly an income tax increase; the Pinnacle TIF covers much of the capital cost.
Spellman Airfield Historical Marker
Cost unknown until the estimate comes back; the plaque itself will be a modest commission expense.
Historical marker and signage program
The commission authorized up to $1,000 for the Century Village depot sign at its September meeting.
Historical Plaques and Markers Program
City flag redesign
Nothing has been purchased yet; redesign costs weren't stated.
City-owned community center at Pinnacle Park
Roughly $15-20 million more upfront than a YMCA partnership, plus a projected ~$1.5 million yearly operating subsidy that may be paid for by an income tax increase to 2.5%.
