Approval of Minutes:

Executive Session:
Mr. Morrissette stated that the scheduled Executive Session was cancelled so that the PPFD Board
could concentrate on reviewing and determining the preferred plan for the aquatic center in the
recreational facility.
Old Business:
• Review Recreation Facility Options — Sites and Plans
Mr. Morrissette distributed a copy of a Regional Public Facilities District (RPFD) Response
Paper, prepared by former Deputy City Manager Stan Strebel, dated December 17, 2013, as
February 11, 2020 PPFD Minutes Page - I
well as a handout of a comparison of the aquatic center options prepared by Mr. Morrissette
and a copy of the estimated revenue and expense potential for various components within the
recreation facility.
The PPFD Board and City staff discussion ensued regarding the three concept plan options that
were presented by Ballard*King & Associates at the January 28, 2020 PPFD workshop. After
much discussion, the Board came to a consensus that Option A was the preferred conceptual
plan for an aquatic center with the caveat that the report be based on the estimated bonding
amount of $28 million. This option will be relayed to Ballard*King & Associates so that they
may prepare their final report for the aquatic center's design, programs and amenities.
• PPFD Bonding Update
Mr. Ferguson confirmed that the PPFD taxing authority is from one-tenth of one -percent up to
two-tenths of one -percent of the sales and use tax. He also stated that the sales and use tax, if
voted in, would be an evergreen tax and not sunset (or end) when the bond is paid off. The
continued tax revenue would be used to maintain and/or enhance the facility to keep a viable
enterprise for years to come.
Adjournment:
There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 5:01 PM.
