February 18.2020 PPFD Minutes Page - 1 Mr. Morrissette requested that specific text from page four (4) under "No Sunset Clause on Tax" paragraphs one and two, within the 2013 White Paper be included within the meeting minutes: "... [T]he pivotal reasoning was that, other than the tax and revenue from operation of the aquatics facility itself, the District would have no other source of revenue with which to maintain the facility over time. " "... [T]he Regional PFD does not have general tax revenues available to it for operations aside from the sales tax which would be used to fund (initially) construction. " "... [T]he board wanted a steady funding stream, if needed, to repair, replace or expand the facility, beyond the projected 25 year term of the bonds. " Continued discussion among the PPFD Board along with City staff occurred. Mr. Morrissette asked for comment from Fred LoMoth as to why the private sector has not proposed and built an aquatic facility. Mr. LoMoth asked about the annual operational budget and if it included a replacement fund for capital improvements. Dr. Jilek moved and Ms. Gillespie seconded a motion to move the executive session to Friday, February 21, 2020 at 10:00 AM The PPFD Board concurred that the next special meeting is scheduled for 10:00 AM on Friday, February 21, 2020 and the executive session will be moved to that meeting.
