JRD outlines tentative levy and May ballot timeline for proposed community center

The Joint Recreation District reviewed a tentative levy and ballot timeline for a proposed community center. Daryl told the board the project team (packet materials prepared with Fazuti Solutions and input from Becky Princehorn) plans phase 2 substantial completion just before Thanksgiving and recommended a resolution of necessity to set the requested levy amount by mid-December. "We'll have to know by December 11 what the requested amount of the levy is going to be," he said.

Daryl said the board would take a second resolution in mid-January to proceed and place the measure on the ballot, then must submit materials to the board of elections by Feb. 3 to appear on the May 4 primary ballot; he added he had contacted the board of elections but had not yet finalized a cost estimate for running the primary. The board did not take action to set levy amounts at the meeting; members said they would review the packet and return with decisions by the stated deadlines.
