…city staff members have arranged a no-bid contract for design of the [competitive swim facility], …all before the City Council could appoint residents to a committee created to help review the project.
The city will sell bond anticipation notes …because city officials had not planned to sell the bonds for the project in the next fiscal year for $1.5 million to pay for startup costs.
Did the 2008 Parks and Recreational Facilities Bond not mention the bond’s biggest item on the ballot: a $12,000,000 allocation for a “competitive swim facility” rejected in 2000 and 2006?
Was the center inserted on the ballot without public input?
One unknown is how the city will pay for what could be a $17.5 million center with $12 million in bond money.

Why would the City Council put forth a swim center ballot measure with a proposed cost lower than it could be built for?
Have the on ongoing maintenence costs been accounted for?
