He noted the desires of the citizens of Louisville were clearly expressed by the failure of ballot issues 2A and 2B. He explained that Council investigated proceeding with a poll or survey to determine a direction for the future. Van Pelt suggested that Council take a pro-active role in planning for the future. She felt a poll at this time would be retrospective and Council should determine what course to take in the future. She voiced her preference to wait on a poll until next spring. Sisk stated the community must come together, and a survey at this point would be premature. He suggested a survey be conducted in April or May and Council reevaluate the issues before next November.
