• <br /> • <br /> a recommendation for financing are all issues being <br /> explored. At this point, the preferred alignment <br /> seems to be along the south right-of-way of existing <br /> Highway 36. The recommended propulsion for this is <br /> electric, but that it also be capable of switching <br /> to diesel automatically. Someone off the system <br /> could then utilise the system. The legislation <br /> gives authority for different methods of financing <br /> including taxing businesses within one mile of the <br /> corridor, a head tax imposed for all employees in <br /> the area, and a tax based upon the square footage of <br /> either retail or commercial. Currently the City of <br /> Louisville is .tot directly impacted as the corridor <br /> ends at Broomfield and the taxing district would <br /> potentially extend out one mile past that. However, <br /> whatever is decided now, both in terms of the type <br /> of system and in terms of financing, would obviously <br /> affect us at some point. Public hearings will take <br /> place in September. Wanush will continue to update <br /> Council. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS None. <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE <br /> REPORTS Szymanski reminded everyone that there will be the <br /> annual softball game between the City of Lafayette <br /> and the City of Louisville. The game is in Louis- <br /> ville this year on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at Miner's <br /> Field. Szymanski encouraged everyone to cheer our <br /> team on. <br /> Carnival stated that the Joint Rec Task Force met <br /> last week and looked at two pieces of property that <br /> could be purchased to locate a combined recreation <br /> center. Those two pieces of property were the <br /> LaStoke Property and the Pow Wow Grounds. The owner <br /> of the Pour Wow grounds, Herm Schempp, offered some <br /> free acres for consideration for building a center <br /> on that site. A minimum of 5 acres was determined <br /> as the need for a center. Mr. Schempp was not sure <br /> that he would be able to provide the full 5 acres <br /> free of charge. His offer was more in the 2-3 acre <br /> range. Costs are being developed to determined the <br /> cost of building a center on the Pow Wow Grounds <br /> assuming that 5 acres could be obtained. Safe <br /> access to this site must be factored into the cost <br /> of the facility. A cost comparison was asked of the <br /> City's Community Services Director, Larry Lillo, <br /> comparing a joint facility versus building a <br /> facility for Louisville. Once these figures are <br /> ready, a meeting will be set. <br /> EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Fauson moved that the meeting recess to an <br /> Executive Session at 9:00 p.m. regarding matters of <br /> attorney client negotiations. <br /> . 9 <br />
