,c20020452 included in the bond issue. The bonds do not have to be issued in on series they can be staggered so the dollars could be spent. The bond attorney will handle the issuance of the bonds and what will be necessary to proceed. Executive Director Susan Gallagher stated that she used the suggestion from Dick Hartman to put the total amount that will be necessary in the bond issue. This will make it simpler for the voters to understand. The total will be $4.9 million. The board asked Ms. Gallager when this was decided and she stated that the museum board met yesterday afternoon and it was their decision to make the request this way. Arnold - He questioned how the operation costs could be collected when they were needed and Ms. Gallager stated that the bonds can be let when needed. Logan - He asked Pam Price what the increase on taxes would be and she said she estimated that it would be about $20.00 for every $100,000.00 worth of valuation, this is only a guess. Jeffries - He asked Jerry Janulewicz if the money that the museum receives could be used for maintenance only, but Jerry replied that this is a separate state statute it will be an interlocal agreement to operate a joint recreational facility. Logan - He asked if money for the promotion campaign has been built into this request and Ms. Gallager replied that tax dollars can not be used for a campaign. The keno dollars from the keno request could have been used for education but they cannot do a campaign so they are trying to be careful. Jeffries made a motion and Arnold seconded to approve Resolution #02-0048 for the joint recreation project relating to an operating train at Stuhr Museum. Arnold, Eriksen, Hartman, Humiston, Jeffries, Lancaster and Logan all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried. Lancaster requested that the museum provide the county board with a copy of their budget. 4
