City Council Special Meeting Minutes February 28, 2012 Page 5 of 5 • Steve Costello, 902 Grove Street, Louisville, CO noted if the City cannot use the information, there is no sense in asking the question. He stated the question relative to the open space tax is misleading and should be clear and require a yes or no answer. Deputy City Manager Balser noted other entities are asking these questions. Mayor Muckle requested discussion on the library tax question. Mayor Pro Tern Dalton did not support the library tax question. City Manager Fleming stated he could revise library tax questions to inquire whether residents would support using part of the tax for library operations. Councilor Jasiak stated she would need to know how the tax is currently being used to ensure it is used properly. City Manager Fleming cautioned it might be a misleading question in order to influence the voter. Councilor Loo addressed the RTD tax question and noted there will be three tax questions. She did not feel it would be appropriate to have three questions on the questionnaire. Councilor Yarnell felt those tax questions would add valuable information. • Councilor Loo asked Ms. Urban whether three tax questions on the questionnaire would be appropriate. Ms. Urban stated Louisville residents are highly educated and involved in their community. She felt they would respond to all the tax questions. Councilor Sackett noted the survey does not make law and only serves as a tool. MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve the revised version of the survey, which will be prepared by City Manager Fleming and will include a library tax question if appropriate wording can be defined, seconded by Councilor Yarnell. Mayor Pro Tern Dalton voted no. The vote on the motion carried. ADJOURN g was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. U! 'vdri‘-t-- A 444 PORobert Muckle, Mayor • Nancy Vara, City Clerk
