Work with staff and City officials to evaluate current facilities; <br />b. Assist and participate in hosting open houses and /or charrettes to collect and <br />evaluate data and obtain comments from the community; <br />c. Compare and contrast what the City of Louisville facilities offer compared and <br />relative to other neighboring communities or communities of similar size; <br />d. Propose a facility design and program that will then move forward towards a <br />possible bond referendum in November 2016. <br />Staff suggests the Task Force be composed of 9 -11 members: two from the City <br />Council; one from the Senior Advisory Board; one from the Youth Advisory Board; and <br />the remainder at -large representatives. If Council has other specific areas you would <br />like represented, please identify them at the meeting. <br />Staff will advertise for persons interested in serving on the Task Force and ask them to <br />submit a letter of interest. Staff requests two members of the City Council be appointed <br />to review the applications with staff and make a recommendation on October 6 <br />regarding appointments. <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />44 <br />
