Board votes to proceed with pre-referendum construction documents for Building a Better D23
Summary
Board members voted 4-2 to proceed with 75% construction documents pre-referendum for the Building a Better D23 plan, authorizing up to $120,000 in pre-referendum design expenditures; two members voted no.
Board members received an update on the district's Building a Better D23 referendum and voted to authorize up to $120,000 for 75% construction documents (CDs) prior to the April referendum.
The motion "to proceed with 75% CD's pre-referendum not to exceed $120,000" was made by Becky McClaney and seconded by Kevin Novak; the motion passed 4–2. The minutes show Carol Botwinski and Mari-Lynn Peters voted No. Administration said the pre-referendum expenditure would fund further design development to provide voters with detailed plans and cost estimates ahead of the ballot question.
Board members who opposed the motion expressed concern about advancing significant design costs before voter approval; supporters said more complete documents would help inform the community and the eventual referendum question. Administration will continue monthly referendum updates and report back on the use of any pre-referendum funds.
