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 utilize 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 to;~c 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 not directly impacted as the corridor <br />ends at Broomfield <~nd 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 <br />annual softball gamey between the City <br />and the City of Louisville.

Those two F>ieces of property were the <br />LaStoka Property and the Pow Wow Grounds. The owner <br />of the Pow 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 cE~nter. Mr. Schempp was not sure <br />that he would be ab]_e 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 acre's 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.
