CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of February 12, 2018 — workshop Page 7 of 7 costs and what citizens may be comfortable in supporting through a referendum; which enhancements should be included and which should be deferred; alternate funding strategies; and the possibility of staggering the improvements to make them all achievable. He added that Mr. Larry Adams of ACi had already been contracted to report on the potential for an events center at Lake Concord Park and he anticipated that report would be brought to the City Commission for consideration in late February or early March. He stated that all options should be examined even more closely so that it could be determined what enhancements the City Commission wished to move forward with now and what the next steps. He felt an additional workshop in the near future would be advisable for advancing the process further, and he would hope to have the report from Mr. Adams about the cultural events center prior to the workshop. The City Commission as whole agreed they would prefer to have the presentation related to the cultural events center prior to taking the next step, and they requested that the City Manager provide additional details about the bond referendum process and potential other funding options, including Federal infrastructure improvement programs. Although there were some concerns about how citizens would react to a potential increase in millage rate, it was agreed that the proposed improvements to the City's parks would benefit the residents and through a bond referendum, the decision would be made by the citizens whether or not to increase the millage. The City Commission commended staff for the work done to gather such detailed information and stated that they were looking forward to getting feedback from the residents and moving forward with the process. 4.
