The City Council and the City’s Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Commission met last night in joint session to host a Town Meeting for citizens to learn more about the upcoming parks & recreation bond referendum scheduled for November 8, 2005.
I think there were about 50 people in the audience to hear the presentation from our Parks & Recreation Director Bob Lambert. Bob also fielded a couple of questions about the referendum. The event was telecast live on EPTV-16. We also taped the meeting and will rebroadcast it on EPTV-16 throughout the month. Check our website at www.edenprairie.org for the EPTV-16 program schedule.
It was a good meeting. The mood among the audience was positive. The residents I spoke with told me they had weighed the costs and benefits of the package of improvements included in the referendum and plan to support it at the polls.
I’ll talk more about the upcoming referendum in this blog in the coming weeks.
