DISCUSSION/DECISION CONCERNING BALLOT QUESTION ON MEMBERSHIP IN W-470 At the Council meeting of September 3, 1991, Councilman Davidson had requested that the City Attorney put together suggested verbiage for a ballot question regarding the City of Louisville's continued membership in the W-470 Authority. The City Attorney did make two suggestions for ballot questions: Option 1. Shall the City of Louisville remain as a member of the W-470 Authority? Option 2. Shall the City of Louisville withdraw as a member of the W-470 Authority? Davidson: My personal preference would be for option 1, which is "Shall the City of Louisville remain as a member of the W-470 Authority?" I don't have any strong objections to option 2. I think option 1 is a little clearer. Yes, you're in; no, you're out. Sackett: I don't plan to pull a delay tactic here, but I realized after reading the minutes that I was unclear at the last meeting. I was hoping to ask two more questions, so I wrote the City Attorney a note that I was unclear and asked if she could come up with language for two additional questions by the next meeting. I would like to know, separate from the Authority, do the people support the idea of having a northwest beltway? The wording could be, if proper funding is available do you support construction of a beltway connecting E-470 with C-470? I think that would be helpful to the Council. Secondly, if proper funding is available do you support a beltway/roadwaylIinkage between U.S. 36 and the new airport. If it is all right with you, I would like to have those included. I think that gives the officials an idea of what position we should take. 4
